I'm sure by now we've all heard the story of the Wal-mart employee being trambled to death on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Then I heard a story about two men shooting and losing their lives in the process at Toys'R' Us. Now it's been said that the last one was gang related but I beg to differ, we've all been into Toys'R'Us at least once and seen kids act a damn fool when their denied a toy, so I'm sure these two men were willing to die before returning home empty handed to Jr. But can I just take a moment to laugh? The unsettling fact that a life was lost in the great quest to find whatever it was that got those jaded shoppers up at the wee hours of the morning, is not funny but the story is undeniable funny. Now I've only attended a Black Friday event once, with my cheap aunt and I laughed my ass off. There was a swarm of depressed Wal-Mart shoppers willing to do anything to part the doors and go lurking for marked down items. And when they opened the doors? Pure mayhem yet it was like watching 'Being Brown': it's funny yet so, so, so sad. Watch the following video and laugh...
Let it be known that I am a huge 'The Colbert Report' fan. I will admit that I've never been one to tune in to the news let alone politics but due to The Change, CNN rarely ever leaves my television. But being that I have a white college boy sense of humor, 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report' gives me the news but with a comedic twist. Being that I am openly staning for Stephen, I was feening to watch his Christmas special however, John Legend stole the program...
And I love it! I'm considering making this blog all things Barack! Last night I watched The Colbert Report (whom I've recently grown to love) and he spoke of this list made up of things that we didn't know about the President-elect. HE collects comic books, plays Scabble, enjoys The Fugees and click the title to view the rest of the list. Barack is my type of guy. And excuse the age slip up, I can't help it at times.

At my first attempt at blogging, I tried my hardest to make a Crunk + Disorderly but not everyone is able. If you click the above title, it take you into the Matrix and over to Fresh's post. Check it out.
A few months back, my younger cousin put me on "Across the Universe" and there is a scene along with song that makes me think about Obama. Tell me what you think...
For the record, I've chosen to sign all my blog posts as Joan Clayton because I've never idenified with any ficition character before. From her loud, silly and sometimes annoying personilty to her personal relationship issues. And yes, I do think the display picture embodies every word in the human dictionary one would use to descibe Tracee Ellis Ross. And Sinclair James as well. But the blogger in front on this screen is in fact an African American woman. I'm all of 20 and single. My whereabouts are irrelevant to this blog or my dating life. Or lack there of. But I do hope that you enjoy!
