Hip Hop



The last hip hop album I purchased was a Hieroglyphics album back in 2003. Does purchasing the Gorillaz album count because I liked Del tha Funkee Homosapien? Anyways, I can't say that I am into it anymore, but that doesn't matter. On Tuesday night I had to cover an assignment about a Northern Illinois basketball player who moonlights as a musical artist in the hip hop genre. The bar where the show was at was very dark and of course I didn't bring a flash. Shooting at 2500 isn't something I like to do so I had to think. I kept seeing flashes pop during the show so I decided to poach the light that was available and I came up with this. Word is bond.

Vote



Telemarketers are annoying, but we don't get many calls from them anymore at our home. However, in the past week we have received three phone calls from individuals asking us to vote for Candidate X. These calls have been made at the most inopportune times. Either we are trying to eat dinner or my wife is trying to put the baby to bed. It definitely pushes my buttons and I often find myself hanging up on them and asking aloud, "What kind of idiot calls at this time of night!?!" On Thursday evening I worked a later shift and I got to meet some of the folks that work at a campaign office in DeKalb. These volunteers were making calls and asking individuals to vote for Candidate X. My job is definitely weird.
