F*ck you, Haiku

It is with great pleasure that I announce a new installment of the Landing Pad! A daily haiku brought to you for your enjoyment. Each day,17 syllables of  insightful perspective, reflection on nature, and the address of common problems our society faces today whether it's ugly chicks, light pollution, or penis envy (that's you, not me). Even a stab at Doo Doo Mamas of America! I promise you won't be let down. However, if you are a true connoisseur of prose and poetry and manage to stumble across the haiku series you'll probably be little more than slightly nauseous in which case I'd recommend that you pop some Skittles and chill the fuck out. Really excited about this...no, the picture is not entirely relevant, I simply hoped to evoke a similar level of disgust with the series to come.

#SOTU

If you didn't catch Obama's State of the Union Address last night, make some time to check it out. I won't sully this with my personal views, but I will add that Questlove was a riot on twitter the entire time. Almost over the hump ya'll...

J Dilla Artwork

Everyday R.I.P J Dilla...chances are, if you ever spit to an instrumental that blew your mind or tried to track down "that one sick beat" it was the work of the master JD. This work was entered in the J Dilla Tribute Contest. What's with the donut? Maybe the ill tape Donut Shop...I really feel terrible for not having a larger feature for JD but I'm absolutely sure that there will be many many more to come  *right click, save link as...enjoy...Mmm good

Pepperoni Hearts

Enjoy the majesty of great food and good company. Hopefully everyone has been enjoying their politically correct holiday season with friends and family; food is the understood yet often understated variable that ultimately ties together this experience. Sure, we need food; of course we "like" food but we should love it. It doesn't matter if it's a fun outing to a Steak N' Shake or a homemade feast brought to you by mom (or dad). The fact remains that food brings us together for all the right reasons and we should take time between chewing and smiling across the table to witness the love on our plates. Give thanks for those we love and those who love us. Just remember the middle man :)
