Hodgepodeatorium - JonBenet Ramsey

There was a moment there, I remember it clearly; the long national nightmare was over. We’d finally caught JonBenet Ramsey’s killer. I was actually sleeping better. Honestly I’ve been having trouble sleeping since her murder went unsolved (wait, that doesn’t make any sense, how could I have been losing sleep since her [...]

Hodgepodgeatorium - Two Birds/One Stone

If there are two things that I learned from casually watching television over the summer it’s that America cares about two things; Illegal Immigration and the War in Iraq. On these two issues the country seems pretty divided. If only there were some way to unite the two causes.

I mean a lot of [...]

Hodgepodgeatorium - Amendments

In the weeks leading up to his death, Stanley Tookie Williams was a hot topic for debate. I listened to many people explain the reasons why he should die. I even watched Fox and Friends, which I always find entertaining. Aside from his conviction for murder, a frequent attack on his character [...]

Hodgepodgeatorium - Wasting Time

I honestly believe that I’ve been introduced to the devil. Like, I’m completely enraptured and on the verge of losing control. Without a doubt, The Warriors on Xbox has irrevocably altered my life.

Hodgepodgeatorium - Preventing a Looming Crisis

Hodgepodgeatorium - Vintage

I’m a bit under the weather this week, so it’s time for another trip to the past.

Hodgepodgeatorium - Full Disclosure

Ok lets recap; I’m a Black guy who sees the 4th of July as an example of the hypocrisy inherent in the United States and its populace and that Black History Month is something whites use to make themselves feel better. I think that the media is very biased in how certain stories get [...]
