okay playa! I see you!

This is a page inspired by Ben’s notion that blog rolls don’t do enough justice.

Every last Monday of the month (it started as more often, but I just can’t keep up with that) I will be showcasing some blog posts that I think are great, so that all of you can read what some great bloggers are up to.  As bloggers we are all in this together, so what better way to show my appreciation of what others are doing than to shine some light on the many talented writers out there.

Also I put some other stuff here that I’m feeling, just because I can.

Enjoy.

If you don’t know about Blue Scholars already, you need to check them out. One of the many reasons I listen to hip-hop is for the ability of a talented lyricist to transport me from where I am to where they are through their words, and this song, “Joe Metro” is hip-hop at its best. I couldn’t embed it so please just go watch it, I promise you’ll like it. If you don’t like it, I’ll buy you a Twix.

Currently Listening:

Kidz in the Hall “Let Your Hair Down”

One of my favorite groups with a song dedicated to The Ladies.  It’s just the track, and if anyone knows how I can just embed a music player on my site, please email me because I am sick of posting youtube videos when all I really want to do is let you listen to the song.

Currently Reading:

Just finished reading Chuck Klosterman’s Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs.  It was awesome.  I have always read his many articles, but never a book, and I’m pissed at myself for waiting so long to do it.  He’s a great writer.  I bet I could get him to do a guest post.  What do you think?
