Something light for a hard week:
Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you’re out from under.
Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin’ your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.
[Here is the part where the music is accompanied with the sound of my head banging against the wall]
Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin’ and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line
Good Times.
Ain’t we lucky we got ‘em [WHAT??????? ]
Good Times.
Do you remember the during the first half of the movie “The Color Purple” when Mister told Celie’s sister (Nettie) to get off his land? Nettie’s response to Mister is the same response I have to this song:
WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY! WHHHHHHHHYYYYY!
Dear Jesus! Why did we sing this song—WITH FEELING?
In other news, as I am typing this, I have just finished watching Being Bobby Brown with one eye (’cause my other eye was covered in embarrassment)
Even more…
Ain’t no sense of hiding it–our nation is fat!
Some health and beauty marketers are trying to send a message about body image that many parents have tried to teach their daughters for years: Be happy with who you are.
Unilever’s Dove brand and retailer Bath & Body Works, in a deal with American Girl, are ditching the traditional “aspirational” marketing messages that tell women and girls that if they buy a particular health or beauty product, they can look like the supermodel in the ad.
Instead of images of long locks, longer legs and incredibly lean bodies, the two companies are promoting their products with a message of “real beauty” by encouraging women and girls to celebrate themselves as they are  while using the products, of course.

Now as a father myself, I definitely see the value of taking this route (and quite frankly, we should have been doing this ages ago). But I think at some point we are going to have to draw the line with the “realism”. I mean, would you motivated to go to Frederick’s of Hollywood if the woman below was posing in one of their advertisements?
