Here lies Journalism (1600s-2019). Slowly bludgeoned to death by enemies of the freedom of the press- the coup de grace delivered by idiotic clickbait headlines. Sweet dreams, sweet prince. May the angels guide you to your eternal slumber and perhaps also show you the secret behind the ONE WEIRD TRICK.
Big props to my main man Sam Neill, aka lilXXXJurassickoMode69 for being the most underappreciated SoundCloud pioneer. I still love his first two albums In Da Mouf of Madness and Eventual Horizontal Mambo. Respect.
This is exactly why I had my now ex-wife test out my own boobytrap version of Homer Simpson’s ‘makeup shotgun’… May she rest in peace…

Black Dynamite (2009) is one of my favourite films of all time. Seriously. It is a wonderful film; a great satire; and an homage to classic Blaxploitation cinema. Also, it’s just plain stupid (in a good, smart way.)
It has now been 10 years since the first time I saw this movie. It was right before I started my second year of university. In honour of the film’s 10 year anniversary, I just wanted to reflect on what makes Black Dynamite so special. At least to me.
First of all, I only had a passing knowledge of Blaxploitation cinema when I first saw the movie. I did not know the source material that Black Dynamite was parodying and satirizing. I am, and have always been, a very white man after all. Even without prior knowledge of its influences, this movie is the right kind of stupid that is a fit for anyone who considers themself a comedy fan.
With the recent release of Dolemite is My Name (a great movie in its own regard), there has been a renewed interest in Rudy Ray Moore and his wealth of work. Black Dynamite clearly showcases its reverence for Dolemite and Rudy Ray Moore in terms of the film’s characters (I’m looking at you Bullhorn), the acting, deliberately bad production, and so on. Before Black Dynamite, the only references to Dolemite I knew were from rap songs and MadTV sketches. Nowadays, having and understanding of the reference material, I have a greater respect for both Dolemite and Black Dynamite.
In addition to being a loving send-up of blaxploitation epics, Black Dynamite is such a memorable movie for me because of the cast. Michael Jai White is immensely hilarious as the titular Black Dynamite, but the whole supporting cast all do their best to make the movie endlessly quotable. Here’s some proof:
There are plenty more reasons why this movie is great (kung fu fighting, sweet music, use of stock footage, etc.), but you really just need to see it for yourself. I hope the rumours I hear about a sequel are true because I need more of it, and the animated series left me wanting. I don’t think the film is streaming anywhere, so buy a copy for cheap and enjoy. Just know that this movie is rated R.
Finally, I made sure to not post the best scenes from the movie, but here’s one last video:
Wait, wait, wait, I forgot to mention that this movie is very sexy and sensual. How could I resist this one last gem:
Thanks to my family and friends for sending me birthday wishes and for still putting up with me. Here’s a photo of me on my big day:
I will keep doing this for as long as I can go before the prison guards find the Blackberry I’m using to post these.
For this installment, here’s one of my favourite (clean) songs from the Texas rap pioneers, UGK.

And here are the mp4s:
RIP Pimp C.
I said there would be more. I only somewhat lied. Here are more totally real headlines from the soon to be over federal election. This election is a real stinker. No matter who wins, we all lose.
I’m no fan of Scheer. Neither are these undecided Canadian voters either it seems:
Join me for my ongoing coverage of the 2019 Federal Election. There will be more equal opportunity shade thrown at the other federal candidates very soon, but this (totally not a photoshop) has been sitting in my Google Drive for almost a week and had to be set free.
Here’s the actual article for honesty’s sake.
It’s election season in Canada and CBC’s Vote Compass is a pretty good tool for Canadians to see with which national political party their own political values most align.
For Canadians such as myself, the results are somewhat inconclusive. Sure, I may be closest to the Liberal Party, but I’m also pretty close to the overall political centre.
But, apparently, somehow, for some reason, I most agree with the Bloc Quebecois (BC)… Makes sense.
No one likes a centrist. You get nowhere in life sitting on a fence. You just end up with a sore ass and zero friends.
Today is the last day of summer. That can only mean one thing- it’s the last day we are legally allowed to listen to Type O Negative’s cover of ‘Summer Breeze.’ But, guess what? I’m still gonna listen to it in autumn, winter, and spring because I’m a rebel.
Also, it’s almost that time of year when October Rust gets played incessantly. RIP Peter Steele.
