Usher: The New Whitney Houston?



Reports are surfacing that the R&B crooner is using crack, and is on a fast track to a rehab reality show. Now I don’t like to make assumptions but this story seems pretty rational to me.

As much money as Usher makes per concert, he better have a damn good reason for being a no-show and the generic “illness” just won’t cut it for me. The only reason I can think of is the same excuse used by K-ci and JoJo..Crack. Not to mention Usher is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing their first season without LeBron James. If sitting courtside and watching Mo Williams stink it up doesn’t make you smoke crack, then I don’t know what will.

Sure there are going to be diehard fans that want to defend their guy with statements like, “He’s not loosing weight he’s just wearing smaller clothes.” My question for the naïve individual who has 84 copies of Confessions is how do you explain this video? I haven't seen a performance this bad since the crack binging days of DMX.

Piss on Week 1.10.11

Warning!! No one in the following blog post is actually being pissed on. It is simply an expression meant to describe how outrageous and unforgivable the actions of the following people really are. Anyone who fines this segment offensive has the right and the duty to be pissed on as well.

Sinceely,

Professional Rationalist




10. Real Housewives



I tried extremely hard to give this reality series a fair chance. But after watching ten minutes of women squandering money and bickering about frivolous issues I am left with no choice.

I’m pissing on Real Housewives for being anything but real life.

9. Jermaine Jackson

Jermaine Jackson’s passport expired while he was in Africa. Why can’t he just apply for a new one and come back to the States you ask? Because he owes $91,000 in child support!

He gets pissed on for skipping out on the child support bill but being able to afford a trip to Africa.

8. Eddie Simmons


Bensalem native Eddie Simmons pulled a gun on a snow blower operator because he thought the operator had blocked in his car.

Eddie gets the business for thinking that the best way to melt the snow was to pull out the heat.


7. Staring


I can never understand the concept behind staring at someone. Do we know each other? Do you find me attractive? Is there a booger in my noose? What is it?

If you have something to say then say it, otherwise you get pissed on for creating an awkward situation.


6. Happy New Year’s still?

We are almost half way through the month, yet people are still saying Happy New Year.
For future reference New Year’s is over when you recover from your December 31st hangover.

I’m pissing on these well wishers for acting like the New Year began on January 14th.

5. Snap Backs

The baseball caps made popular by entertainers such as N.W.A. and Will Smith have made resurgence amongst today’s youth. These $5 hats are reselling for as much as $50 on eBay. Now if the high school kids want to think they are reinventing the wheel by wearing these hats, then that’s fine.

But if you are in your twenties, trying to relive your Darkwing Duck days, then you deserve to be pissed on.

4. The Game


West Coast rapper The Game was ordered by a judge to pay $50,000 for beating his cousin, Robert Kirkwood, during the funeral of Robert’s sister.

The Game gets the business for disrespecting the dead.

3. Redman


Redman takes being budget conscious to a whole new level with his most recent music video. He cut out the lavish cars, the voluptuous groupies, and the exotic cars. In fact he cut out everything but the camera.

Redman not only gets pissed on for shooting a video with a camera that he most likely purchased off Craigslist but also for the song being called “Big Spenderz.”



2. Socks for Soldiers

There are numerous non-profit organizations that are collecting socks to send to the troops fighting for our country. I’m not pissing on the people organizing the donations, but the fact that the donations are even necessary.

Our government can afford million dollar artillery, but we can’t afford to get our men and women some Gold Toes socks? Pissed On!


1. Snooki


It’s bad enough that “Jersey Shore” reality star Snooki looks like..well…Snooki. It becomes piss-worthy when she imposes her hideous look on little kids.

Watch Snooki as she does a great job making this little girl look as ridiculous as she does.

I hope you can swim




I've lived my entire life on the east coast. I spend my winters and falls complaining about howling winds, cold air, and snow while my summer is filled with humidity, and way to many UV rays. When I watched the tragedy in both Haiti and Katrina I was moved like the rest of the world. The floods currently taking place in Australia will soon go down in history as well. The residents of residents of Brisbane Australia, the country's third-largest city, are reeling from record flooding.


At least 40,000 properties were expected to be affected by overflowing water. The areas dam, which was built in the late late 1970s after the famous floods in 1974,has been damaged, making the situation even more dire.


The video below is of the town Toowoomba, which is the less than 100 miles from Brisbane .It seems a flash flood overtook the local shopping plaza. The death toll is currently at 14, while 90 people are missing.

Let's just say that I appreciate digging my car out from under the snow right now and will be saying a few prayers for those effected in Australia. I hope you ask whichever god you pray to, to do whatever he can.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK: House of the Devil




Jocelin Donahue, the star of The House of the Devil, is living the American dream. She is an actress on the rise in Los Angeles and stared in a movie that was filmed in her home state. In her debut as a lead actress, she stars as a young woman house sitting for extra cash. Since it's a horror movie, all the fun begins when she enters the home on a gloomy night. I'm not a horror film fan by any means. I may be the only kid that was deathly afraid of both Chuckie and Freddy Krueger. However, Jocelin's performance kept my eyes glued to the screen(and my knee shaking in fear:).

Jazzy Wheelchair Owner Takes Ad Literally



Motorized wheelchairs are great tools that can be used by people who are physically unable to walk. It allows those who would otherwise be restricted to staying in one room or house the ability to enjoy the fruits of the outside world. I even know of people who are more than capable of walking that wish they had a Jazzy Power Chair after seeing this frequently played commercial:



But when Jazzy Power Chairs states that they make a power chair that can fit anyone’s needs, I am pretty sure this isn’t what they had in mind!

Patti LaBelle Drops Knowledge


I’ve been a huge fan of Patti LaBelle since I can remember. Her vocal talents have been imitated by many who have fallen short. To add to her musical abilities, the Philadelphia native, reps her city well with her “tell it like it is” attitude. Patti is the definition of timeless. Just listen to her on the remix to Lyod’s new single as she drops some knowledge as to how to keep a good woman.

LIFE: Cherish Your Waffle Cones



I love ice cream as I’m sure you do. I think it should have its own food group. I’ve never seen a person run after a milk, meat, or fish truck. Yet, I have seen people from all backgrounds run after the ice cream truck with little concern for on coming traffic. Very few items of food have their own jingle. At the moment, ice cream and bologna are the only two that come to mind. The one item that can consistently take your ice cream experience into a completely different stratosphere is a waffle cone. The traditional cone works just fine. However, the waffle cone is treat within itself. It makes the ice cream experience even that more memorable.

People come in different flavors just like ice cream. I always had a clear understanding of who were my friends as opposed to who were my associates. I’ve always felt that friendship is a two way street. You can’t expect a friend to do something that you yourself wouldn’t do. Most importantly everyone isn’t a waffle cone. Meaning, some people are good folks that you appreciate from a far. While others have a magical connection with you that allows them to get to get to know your deepest thoughts, fears, emotions, dreams, and ambitions. These folks are waffle cones, filled with your favorite ice cream, and topped with your favorite fixings.

Some people say that I expect to much from my friends. I counter by asking: Shouldn’t you? If you are opening yourself up to someone and exposing your raw emotions, shouldn’t he or she be held to a higher standard that the security guard that you share a pleasant “How was your weekend” with each Monday as you enter your office building? Shouldn’t you expect your friend to support you during your new endeavor. I’d like to think that you’d want your friend to be brutally honest with you. If not your friend, than who? How would you otherwise grow as a human being and correct your character flaws. By expecting a lot I’d like to think you will in turn give a lot.

Good things should happen to good people. Heart ache or foolishness by fools that you mistakenly held in high regard should not alter the way that you carry yourself. In short, let the pigs play in the mid. You should play butcher and remove (slaughter) them from your life. Your friends aren’t merely your twitter followers, skype partners, or people that like or comment on your Facebook status’. Instead they are the people that you would call if you had a flat in the wee hours of the morning on the highway with no spare in the trunk.

If your friend doesn’t meet your friend standard, maybe he or she wasn’t actually your friend at all. At times we all make the mistake of making people into what we want them to be instead of accepting them for what they are. Maybe they were always just your associate. I don’t know about you but my associates don’t get any of my waffle cone.
