Not a Rap fan at all, but when I heard Eminem’s “Cleaning out my closet“, I had a lot more respect for it, and him.

Not a fan of eminem but I respect he has appeal uh er for younger generations, I suppose.

As someone who works in nonunion television, I know that it shouldn’t matter if you write the script BEFORE the shoot or after, the generator of that script deserves the same benefits.</p> <p>Sadly, though I signed a WGA card 2 1/2 years ago as a reality storyteller, I don’t believe that the guild is actively working in our behalf. It’s rumored to be the first thing they put aside in trying to make a deal. If you can’t stand reality TV, you should demand it to be unionized, because in the absence of that you’re just going to see more and more of it.</p> Thanks for this.

Sounds good!

Some kids seem to be spending more on their car sound systems than on the car—the cars shake and rumble as the megawatt woofer systems make the ground shake.

All about pussy.
