Guilty Pleasure To The Max

It's a gloomy, fall day in Philadelphia and about the only thing getting me through it is this little gem. Definite UPGRADE from the band's previous sound.

Softporn Tour 2009

Okay, so not really, it's just a 30second promo by Kanye West & Lady Gaga for their upcoming Fame Kills tour this fall. Truth be told I don't think it's either of them in the video, just an imitation. Regardless, don't let your boss catch you watching this at work.

And the message of this video is....

First Reading Rainbow, Now Philly's Libraries



It kills me that after 3 months of unemployment, I still haven't found a job. But what kills me more (if anything) is the above sign of information. Books...remember those things? Well I sure as hell do; they made up my childhood, transitioned into my adolescence, and made me the writer I am today. There is so much I could say (and will, in the future) on the closing of Philadelphia's free libraries but instead, I'll ask a favor.

Go to freelibrary.org.
Contact your elected officials (or just mine if you're not from Philly!).
DO SOMETHING.

Representatives say we cannot afford to keep the libraries open.
I say we can't afford to lose them.

Osama Bin Laden <3s Whitney Houston



Sudanese novelist Kola Boof has revealed some disturbing information on Osama Bin Laden's preferences in Diary of a Lost Girl, an autobiography of her time held as Bin Laden's sex slave ten years ago. Here are just a few disturbing quotes from the book:

"He told me Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. He spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar. It didn't seem impossible to me. He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum."

Aside from dreams of marrying Houston, Osama Bin Laden also detailed to Boof some of his favorite TV shows, including The Wonder Years.

Wonder what he thinks of Whitney's new album?

Philly's First Cupcake Truck!


Cleverly titled Buttercream, Philadelphia has turned a former postal-truck into the city's first cupcake truck. The truck debuted on August 28th, and will be continuing it's delicious run again tomorrow at noon in Love Park, its permanent spot. 2 bucks a pop is kind of harsh when you can get a slice of pizza for 50 cents less, but hey, some days only a heaping mouthful of frosting takes the cake.

You can learn more about the city's tasty edition here.

Marriage Equality

MarriageEquality has released a commercial in Ireland promoting the necessity for equal marriage rights. As the commercial states, imagine having to ask 4 million people if it was okay for you to marry? Watch it for yourselves.

This Sunday: Philly Rides Naked!



Kind of sad I'm missing this. How liberating! If you want to learn more, visit here.
