I got so much trouble on my mind. In 1990, I was nine years old, months away from turning ten, when Public Enemy ended any musical debate I would ever have and summed up every mental state I would ever inhabit for the rest of my life. I was a Black kid with a white… Continue reading Designated Cheerleader

#Realtalk 1: The Affordable Care Act
I’ve decided that #Realtalk is going to be what I call unpopular opinions I have. I’m not a fan of the Affordable Care Act, which apparently is something you’re not supposed to say because that makes you a conservative or whatever. But I’m not, and I’m really over people trying to say stupid stuff… Continue reading #Realtalk 1: The Affordable Care Act
I hate all of you.
Less than two days remain before, if my admittedly-cynical, bitter predictions are true, the United States of America will follow up the unlikely feat of electing its first Black President by electing its first female President, and I don’t know if I could be angrier than I am right now. Two years of Citizens United-spawned… Continue reading I hate all of you.
I drink you up.
On the forgotten side of midnight, I am prompted to recall certain indelible things whose painful etches recall tattoos more than scars, blissfully endless moments so satisfying they were somehow able to soften the blow of the reality they preceded and became written into my code.

Darryl Zero’s Top Albums of 2015.
10) Sannhet – Revisionist Operatic instrumental post-metal isn’t new, nor is melodramatic sweeping post-rock, but Sannhet manages to make both interesting and vigorous with Revisionist.

this dude is dicking around and just makes one of the dopest songs of the past 15 years. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
dad.
I think the reality of my being a parent hasn’t truly felt like “parenting” because, at this point, my son (whom I love with an irrational passion that makes me wake up happy even when shit is going painfully sour in the rest of my life) is little more than a small, helpless creature who can’t… Continue reading dad.
