Yeah...I said it

Announcements a.k.a. I Need an Intern

ListenToLeon — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:36:14 +0000

I have a couple of fun announcements to make. However, the process of getting to the point of making announcements has not been particularly fun. I’ve come to realize that I need an intern. An annoying, unattractive intern. One who will keep me focused. Cool, sexy interns need not apply, because that’s just another distraction, [...]

Tea Party Rally In DC a.k.a. “Go Back To Puerto Rico”

ListenToLeon — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:03:24 +0000

For those unaware, Glen Beck held a massive right wing circle-jerk, I mean, a “Restoring Honor” rally on the National Mall this past Saturday in Washington, DC. I have strong feelings about the very existence of the Tea Party, but I will get to those later. I would first like to say that I believe [...]

Me and My Ill-Fitting Britches

ListenToLeon — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:57:23 +0000

Ever notice that your outfit is f*cked up, AFTER you’ve left the house? Not a good feeling, is it? This morning, I put on a pair of khakis that I’ve never worn before, which have been in my closet for over a month. I was in a bit of a hurry to leave, so I [...]

Keith Murray Claims To Have Beaten Up Tupac and Dame Dash

ListenToLeon — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:43:15 +0000

I always liked Keith Murray, especially for rhyming under his real name at a time when every rapper went by a nickname or stage name. Still, this video begs the questions: Why is he talking about fights with a dead rapper, 15 years after the fact? More importantly, why is this man still thuggin’ at [...]

Happy Hour Thursday at The Park

ListenToLeon — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:04:01 +0000

This Thursday, I’m hosting a happy hour with an all-star team of bloggers at The Park at 14th. The sites hosting it with me are The Couch Sessions, DCtoBC.com/The Gee Pee, Very Smart Brothas, VanityRich.com, A Diva State of Mind, SingleBlackMale.org and TheSmuggler.com. All great blogs, so I fully anticipate this being a very fun [...]

When Simpletons Protest

ListenToLeon — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:29:52 +0000

Can you tell me what’s wrong with this picture? It’s obvious how this guy feels about the plans for a mosque to be built near Ground Zero in New York City. It also appears that his protest includes basic spelling. The photo, which my friend Rex found in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is a shining example [...]

ListenToLeon Best of the Year

ListenToLeon — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 03:24:41 +0000

A friend of mine was shot and killed last night, so understandably, I’m finding it extremely difficult to write anything right now. Usually around this season, I compile a list of the funniest blog entries from the past year in order to show people that I deserve their votes in the Black Weblog Awards Humor [...]

Cee-Lo Green – F*ck You

ListenToLeon — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:33:19 +0000

Cee-Lo Green is speaking to my soul on this song! I love watching the lyrics in this video. Nothing brightens your Friday like seeing “F*ck you, and uh, f*ck her too” in bold letters scrolling across your screen to the beat. I need to thank Lunchbox Theory for exposing me to this piece of R&B [...]

It’s All Fun and Games

ListenToLeon — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:38:45 +0000

…Until someone gets bitch-slapped into next week! I love this video for the simple fact that anyone stupid enough to take turns slapping one another pretty much deserves whatever happens to them. To the two simpletons in this video, thank you for the free entertainment. Your dignity is not being sacrificed in in vain.

Vampires Suck

ListenToLeon — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:23:33 +0000

…surprisingly, did not suck! I had a chance to catch a sneak preview of this movie last night, thanks to my friends at Chase Sports. Yes, Vampires Suck is silly and completely over-the-top. However, if films like Scary Movie and Airplane make you laugh, then this one is right up your alley. If you’re looking [...]
