Even if God were to exist he would make no difference: he would be as lonely and as enslaved, and as isolated as man is, in a cold, silent, indifferent universe.
Samuel Beckett

Fat Trel is currently my favorite in the game right now. Smooth, aggressive flow. Best thing to come out of the DMV in a really long time.

All. Time. Classic.

Me and my new glasses. Being able to see is a very strange feeling (Taken with instagram)

Star Slinger crushes this one. Sit back and revel in the Dionysiac friends

“In The Wire, everyone is simultaneously good and bad. The cops are fighting crime, but they’re all specifically or abstractly corrupt; the drug dealers are violent criminals, but they’re less hypocritical and hold themselves to a higher ethical standard. There were sporadic exceptions to this…

nevver:

  1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
  2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
  3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
  4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
  5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
  6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
  7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
  8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
  9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
  10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

This ASAP remix is absolutely disgusting. Another ridiculously good effort by The Hood Internet
