Some News…

Where has my slackin’ ass been…. the question of the day. I know, its been a long time & I promised last time I left not to do it again. It was for a good reason (not really)… a few of my blogging brethren and I are teaming up to launch http://www.alumnah.com - a network where we can all continue to spread our messages, but hopefully make a buck or two at the the same time.

You can catch me there a few times a week, and I’ll still be updating here as well (as much as I can) … but check us out at Alumnah, we got some great things cooking over there.

Oh.. and click the ads when you’re there. Our bank accounts will thank you.

Southern Comfort Gift Giving Guide!

 

Its Holiday time! Are you ready to spend all your money? Are you one of the fools who waited in line to go shopping at 5:00am on Black Friday instead of using a day off for its true purpose (FYI that would be sleeping late and getting laid)? Are you eagerly waiting Oprah’s latest favorites things episodes so you can feel poor and unworthy because you can’t buy your mom the $8,990 cashmere Teflon baking mitts?

Have no fear- we here at Southern Comfort don’t believe in spending a lot of money on the people we love (our friendship is enough) so we’ve put together a handy gift guide for all the important people in your life. Not only will this make you’re shopping much easier- it’s cheaper, more fun and allow you to save time to A) sleep late, B) get laid & C) waste time on the internet.

One time for the hos

 

Unless you have been living under a rock, boycott consumerism or are fortunate enough to reside in a country that doesn’t begin preparing to celebrate the capitalistic holiday season in September, you are well aware that Christmas is indeed coming.

Fuckin Up

 

The old adage states money can’t buy you happiness. Those of us on the lower end of the economic spectrum like to joke that we’d be willing to sacrifice ourselves in the name of science to test whether or not that theory is actually fact or jus a tool that the haves use to make the rest f us feel better as we struggle to make ends meet and pay bills while they take the elevator up to the private movie theater in their 4 story condo.

You know the drill. Weird shit in the world.

The Monogamy Myth

Birds do it. Some fish do it. We do it. A least, we try to do it. No you dirty bastards; I’m not talking about sex (this time). (Most of us do more than just try to do that) I’m referring to the “M” word. Monogamy.

Make It Rain

 

There is a movement afoot, one that can only be traced back to the war on Hip Hop. It’s a subwar of sorts. A war on one of Hip Hop’s favorite pastimes. No, not gun collecting. Stripping. Strippers are under attack.  In Atlanta, the city government is practicing nothing short of ageism, decreeing that all clubs that serve alcohol cannot hire workers under 21. In St. Maarten, health officials are accusing a stripper of spreading tuberculosis to over 40 people.

Everybody Get Freaky!

 

I was listening to the radio this weekend and I noted there were an inordinate amount of pro-abstinence commercials. Not that I’m anti-abstinence per se, but I must admit that this trend of abstinence only sex education is rather disheartening because it seems to miss the target. Commercials ending “I wish I waited” miss the mark. Why? Because people ARENT waiting.

Happy motherfucking Friday ladies and gentleman. It’s been a crazy week, one that felt as though it had an extra few days mixed in, but alas, it’s over. Before you go off and drink yourself into oblivion (I see you Big Homie) here are a few news stories to wet your whistle on.

The Devil Wears a Flowered Housecoat

As most of you may be aware, I tend to think Tyler Perry = the Devil. Or at least a tool of the Devil. Or at least a tool to creating some god-awful modern day minstrel shows. However, as with my prejudice against Vitamin Water, I figured in order to be truly fair and balanced (not that I actually care to be), I should give the motherfucker a chance before calling his film and TV work as coon-erific as his stage plays.
