iam a "up with hope, down with dope" guy these days. Seriously. I grew up with kids who are dealers now and they all call me soft.

Iam 20 years old, from USA (unfortunately), living in England now. I once did a talent show to James Brown's "living in america". I dressed like the black dude from "rocky iV", in the yank gear (carl weathers i think was his name?) and sang to the instrumental and added my own words. Lets just say it brought the house down. It was a bit anit-bush/USA lets say lyrically.

I cant remember the words i wrote and sang, but when James Brown calls out the city names of America, i sang instead....

"u can get shot in..... new orleans. (new orleans!)....kansas city, dallis, pitsburgh DA" etc.... I was only 16 at the time. For us kids back then, the satire i made up was quite good, and seeing myself in this costume (on the right) was a laugh aswell:

thanks for the link -- i'll check it out!

thesexofit said:

Um.


Okay.



Thanks for answering the questions.

People loved it. It wasn't a mind blowingly edgy attack on america, more of a light joke. I did my best james brown moves aswell LOL Alot of english people in general does not like america for one reason or another.

I once thought i was hard, did shitty things, and had alot of anger in my mid teens. U know how it is. Iam very boring now. I was just as geeky back then, but i could charm girls more easly back then aswell. I look horrible now. But i can still throw a punch though. It comes with the territory.

Funny, i find chatting up girls very calculated and manipulative now i know better. I could use the almost exact same chat up lines, and it would usually work, despite my nasty acne or glasses. Kinda boring really.

I got a awful 80's PVC USA jacket somewhere? I should wear it again and my mc hammer jacket aswell. With the right hair, i could look like a long lost cousin of a new kid on the block.

well i loved the "people stop me in the street" bit. She's had the kid for what 2 weeks tops, cmon.

And this is what bugs me, one would think that after taking a 13 month old child away from all that he has known, that a new parent would want to give a child time to relax and get familiar with hes new surrounds, siblings, and parents.

Not take him on a book tour.

lazycrockett said:

agreed. i can see that. but then again, that is de rigeur for her children. he's not going to have a life of sitting at home playing Lincoln logs with his bro under the watchful eye of mama. he's been inducted into the exclusive club of celebrity child rearing, which (for better or worse) has a set of rules completely different from conventional tradition.

and also, this interview confirms how much i fucking love Madonna.

she may not always know what she's gonna say when she opens her mouth, but despite all the talk of re-invention, Madonna has consistently been singularly focused on her own upward ascension. set a road block in front of her, and she will find the words that explain why that is irrelevant to her. she has a remarkable ability to chart her course and achieve no matter what. no matter what.

madartista said:

you make her sound like a fascist.

lazycrockett said:

ah, i think u reveal more of your mind than mine!

oh no, she not a vegetarian anymore. the gassy phase has passed.

thesexofit said:

The media is obsessed with Madonna.If she does something as mundane as changing her hairstyle,it will be in all the tabloids.In many cases,she doesn't go out "looking" for attention.The adoption was meant to be a private family matter but because of who she is,it became a media circus.That's not her fault though.

SoulAlive said:

Wow. Madonna's daughter is gorgeous.

luv4all7 said:

she's mini-madge!

thesexofit said:

...says the person who praises Tiffany and New Kids On The Block!

JediMaster said:

and MC Hammer!

SoulAlive said:

And lots of other truly craptacular bands!

Sorry, I like thesexofit and all, but that is some crappy taste in music!

Madonna's daughter looks just like her. She's really going to be gorgeous when she gets older.

i gag everytime her fake british accent pops up...."guy and i checked our "shedule"...:throwup:

That's one of the main reasons why I like her. I totally buy what she says, she seems very sincere....unlike somoene like, say, Janet Jackson. I saw a recent Oprah interview with Janet and I didn't believe a single word that came out of her mouth.

luv4all7 said:

You mean, BENEATH that moustache?

JediMaster said:

its all about production with me.

And soulalive, i know u love those hammer/earth, wind and fire songs.

thesexofit said:

bravo for her then. any orphan deserves to be adopted. especially if they come from the armpit of the world.

JustErin said:

She took a camera crew with her, it was her first time in Malawi and apparently she was filming some documentary/video etc, (according to some reports) It was all done in the full glare of the media, hence some of the criticism.
She also said she offered the father financial help to raise the child but he turned her offer down.
