“Loooord, I’m so tired, I’m so tiired, my feet feel like I walked most of the road on my ooown…all on my ooown” – Cee Lo Green on Outkast’s “Liberation”
But for real, I could use a good nap. Like that comatose sleep where you wake up and don’t even remember dreaming about anything. Ever sleep so good, that you wake up from your nap a few hours later, but feel so well rested that you think it’s the next day? That’s happened to me a couple of times. I’ll look at the clock and be like “9:00!!! I was supposed to be at work by now! Wait a minute…why is it still dark outside?…Oh. 9:00 PM. WHHEEEEEEEEEEWWW!”
Yeah, that’s the kind of rest that I’m talking about. I do have to hit the gym for awhile first, though. I have to keep up this routine. I’m looking like Michalangelo’s “The David”, only with a smaller head and a bigger johnson.
That reminds me of a story…I had this African professor named Ampofo-Anti for my Introduction to the Arts class. He would always get upset at how European artists from Greek times all the way up to Picasso would be “influenced” by African art and incorporate these styles into their own are which would then be revered. All the while the original African art and artists would get none of the credit or respect. He’s always go on a tangent and say shit like “The Europeans. They STEAL and they BASTARDSIZE OUR ART!!! They fear the srong black man. That is why they make the penis and testicles so small on their scupltures. They did not derstand the physical superiority of the black man, so they feared it and praisedthe opposite in their art!”
Then a year later, I had his sculpture class. He would comment of people’s art with his thick West African accent like “This sculpture…It is like a cow with no balls. It does not PRODUCE. YOu must make your art PRO-DUCE!!
Man, Ampofo was cool as shit. I have to visit him this year at Homecoming.

Alrighty, look here…..you are going to have to get a haloscan comments section or something. This posting anonymously is not my thing…lol. So I see you are an avid fan of channel 13, huh? Hahaha…I was not self promoting myself on your site! I swear! But thank you for the compliments…I do appreciate them dearly! You are NOT posing with a malt liqour? Hahaha…that’s pretty funny…cute, but funny!
Gosh, I think you called me a 25% on the down low. What’s up with that Leon? Okay, I’m kidding. I should have more manners than to come up here talkin trash on your joint.
Interesting observation from your art professor. But really…the Greeks and Romans did nothing but “steal” beauty that they found from other cultures (I majored in Classical Languages/Classical Civilization). So, they didn’t just “bastardize” the Africans…they did it to EVERYONE. It’s still funny what he said though…anyway…I hope you get your nap on. I am trying to catch a cold RIGHT NOW so I can go home too…I’m so sleepy!
