Relationshape

I've always been a big The Daily Show fan. Not only that, but I think that Bill O'Reilly is an ass. Meaning, I could not be more excited for Jon Stewart going on The Factor to debate the appropriateness of Common being elected to a young poet gathering hosted by Michelle Obama at The White House. Surprise surprise, I completely disagree with the Republicans' fake outrage over some questionable lyrics for a couple of reasons: 1, He is one of the most tame, thoughtful rappers out there. 2, if he has said questionable things, so what? He's a poet/artist. They do that. 3, Fox News has friends (see: Nugent, Ted) that have said way more controversial things than Common did. To me this screams of racism. Common is black and sometimes angry. Therefore, he is not to be trusted and not to be invited to the White House where children could be present.

1. Allie and I are quickly coming up on our two year anniversary. With the relationship going well, I have naturally let myself get into relationshape. It's not a real word, but simply the way that men get when they get comfortable in the relationship. The treadmill? Yeah, that's for the single guys. Those twenty-pound dumbbells in the corner? Um... I could maybe lift those once now. Unfortunately, as I barely could put on my "summer" shirt for the first time, I quickly realized that maybe enjoying a diet of Chipotle for lunch followed by two hot dogs for dinner is not a healthy way to lead my life and. Sigh. And so diet season begins...
