Philip Anthony-Rodriguez

alright.

i just wanted to get These up to you, when i could.


i won't mention the trouble that i had to go through in finding/snagging These..
..but you, yourselves, can search for them directly hence at IMDB.com if you're interested in knowing the source through which i got these.

at any rate, i saw this fucker JUST BY CHANCE on CBS's Shark, In Absentia-episode, a week ago; i don't otherwise look at Shark, but, i reck'n there must notta been nothin' else better on for me to look at, which is why i caught it.


the most curious thing about Philip, for me,──besides the fact he seems to keep on taking roles where the characters he portrays also have English-first names & Spanish-last names,──is that, sometimes, he looks like Kurt Angle.
as illustrated by the first picture i've exhibited.



kurt angle is a sexy fucker too.
n'on?



:-).



so many crotches i need to bury my face in...

´just a little somethin' i read...

on Wednesday, the 3rd of October, of this year, an edition of City Paper was released; in City Paper's "The Mail," the following letter was published:

Bum Rush

Come on, Madam President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. Why bother wasting the taxpayers' and the council's time, debating "why" men wear their pants hanging down revealing their butts in Baltimore City (Councilmania, News, Sept. 26)? Seriously, aren't there really more pressing issues concerning Baltimore? Like maybe poverty, guns, deaths, filth, abandoned homes, HIV/AIDS . . . HIGH TAXES!

I, for one, couldn't care less that these young men want to wear pants exposing their macho booties. It's all good to me, especially since gay black nightlife in Baltimore is all but nonexistent, and most Baltimoreans are not connected on the internet, leaving me little local fare to ogle. (To hell with The Wire, whatever happened to Baltimore's Wi-Fi initiative?) Since moving here from the D.C. area, one of my favorite pastimes is now sitting on my stoop watching all those thugged-out booties walking by. Ummmm ummmm! And you have to appreciate that if the booty is out, there is definitely no gun in the waistband of those flimsy briefs. So it tends to be a safe hobby, and way more appealing than watching "real birds"!

I think that most young men don't know that this fashion started from prison culture (regrettably, as do many fashions in African-American hip-hop culture). In prison, an exposed butt signals other inmates that the owner of said exposed butt cheeks was open for business--a prostitute. For a pack of cigs, a few dollars, some drugs, whatever, the exposed booty would do a trade. (Fair exchange ain't no crime, right?) It also signaled that the person exposing those luscious buttocks was taking it just there. I guess I can help Ms. Rawlings-Blake with her question about what those men are seeking--its formal name starts with the letter "P" (and its common nickname starts with "D")! Ponder that!

I think that if more of our youth actually knew where this fashion started, they would not only stop it, but they may stop being so hard on gay dudes. It is clearly evident, from the masses of exposed buttocks in the streets to the most high-fashion runways in Milan, that gay men have a powerful influence on fashion everywhere, even in thug gear.

the contents, thereïn, probably speak enough for themselves.

yeah?

Dow'n'NASDAQ

:-).

so, those Points are the highest they have ever reached ─ i r'member back when DOW/Jones was below 10,000 pts.

they're as high as they've ever been..
..but, as lewis black sagely commented: "[you know that someone is getting rich], but it ain't-fuckin'-you."



y'know?
i hope that the per-barrel Price of Oil keeps getting higher'n'higher; ´because when that condition gets met, then, presumably, even fewer people will be so liberal with their Dollars.
and when that happens, then, The Retail Industry will begin to lose more money.

It can increase all Its prices in response to OPEC's Activities all It wants to; if That happens, i do, unbelievably, think that The Average Human Being will have actual sense enough to know that he should just simply SAY FUCK IT: when The Working Stiff just can't afford them prices they're askin' for,──even for the minimum of types of goods,──anymore ... when what once was finally relegated to being Standard Fare (for modern times) will indeed be once again considered Items of Luxury, well, Retailers can either cave in, and restart charging Customers more reasonably, or ... They can hold steady, and, consequently, allow BEDLAM to ensue.


even at my mere 25-years of life, here, i already possess enough statistical knowledge to enable me to see that No Good Can Come from This Situation.




this is why i really, really despise Capitalism.
friend-and-foe alike,──i'm not givin' a fuck about It, right now,──one of the other ways i am betting we can begin to stem some of these other Finance Problems we have (especially the Haves and Have↕Nots one) is if a Personal Income Cap gets established: no one person, who is of Sound Body and relatively-Functional Mind, needs to have more than $500,000, annually, or a life↕time total of more than, say $2,200,000.^(♫)
any money he earns in excess of That will need to go directly to the appropriate governing bodies, so They may apply the funds to Improving The Land & Human Condition, of his immediate jurisdiction, and the Overall Presiding Body (basically, taxes that go to his [city], the [state], and The Federality).

what that means for me is, if/when The Words that I Write ever gets me the moolah that i believe i want, then i will indeed be compelled to immediately direct all That which goes over $500,000/$2,200,000 to all sorts of Charities, and Disease-fighting Campaigns.

~↕↕~

:-).

what the fuck am i going to do with A Mansion? i ain't gotta prove my motha↕fuckin' Worth-n-Value to you muther↕fuckers through Material Goods.

´to a degree.

as far as i can tell, all i need is just a reasonable-sized house to accommodate My Peeps, a coupla "Toys" here'n'there to keep [us] entertained, some decent food, and a simple [{fuel-efficient/environmentally-friendly} truck] that mutha↕fuckin' runs when i tell it to..
..and This should be enough for me to feel that i've met the condition of establishing relative-Personal/D'mestic Security.

---

but.. ..will i still be able to do That, a few years from now, if the mother↕fucking System has already long ago c'lapsed?
because, in considering The Track We, globally, Are On...
...i'm not entirely sure i'll be able to even establish that Minimum of Comfort for m'self.

(♫) (by extension, no one person really has the right to create more than 3 children; i will leave it at That, for now, although obviously there has to be more to it than just That.)

hell yeah.

just...
...hell-the-fuck-yeah.


alright, so, yet another part of My World was shattered, just a coupla days ago, when i bore witness to erik hunter's latest Incarnation.


cool.




well, if i can't have him, then, i can always have eric dane.

yeah?

~↕↕~

no, actually.

this fucker, of course, is MARRIED.




well, at any rate.. ..i can still post Pictures that i've found, of Him, lain around The Internet; i need only tell you where i got these particular files from^(♫) and That should probably be enough to cover my ass.

yeah?

it's kinda hard to believe th` sum↕bitch is but, what?

34 (35, t'morrow)?

but, i guess he is.

he's pullin' off that Gray Hair, though.
i´tn't he?

:-).

i pro'ly won't be anymore specific about My Likes, regarding this particular Grey's Anatomy-cast member, at the moment, though...
...´not especially since i need to Eat Something ─ my Tummy rumbles.

:-).

my mom made some Meat↕Loaf yesterday..
..so, i think i will use That, to complement some beans, rice, and Greens, that i have.

it will be A Process to cook, but ... This is the sort of thing i had been waiting for.

(♫) (hence, thirdly, and hither, restly.)

My Limited Knowledge. (part 2 of 2.)

i'm not saying take all their money away ... but, if you think that The Middle Class Folk, themselves, shall continue putting up with This Shit^(♫-1), without doing something retaliatorily-nasty, then, i believe yenz got Another Thing Comin' t'ya.



i am also in favour of introducing Slot Machines to strategically-placed areas through Our State; just a week-and_some-change ago, i watched on The News a republican-member of Our Congress declare, disturbingly, that the reason he himself is not in favour of This Ameliorative is, they haven't had time to properly discuss how to best execute It.


excuse me?


robert erlich, himself, had made an attempt to get you fuckers to get Them in this state starting at least 3 years ago^(♫-2); 3 years later, and, you proclaim that you still don't know what to do with them??


REALLY?


now, ain't that A Bitch¿


Slot Machines, as almost immediately-effective, additional means of raising revenue..
..as a seemingly-sensible way of continuing to let our Race Tracks remain viable competitors with other states^(♫-3), and, you still don't fuckin' know, huh?

l.o.l.

~↕↕~

while i'm at it..
..it would appear as if niggas really like Blowing Money on THE LOTTERY ─ which is cool, and all; i think it would be fair to say that, since [fiscal year] 2000, Marylanders, basically, coughed up A Billion Dollars playing The Numbers.

an average of, say, $420,000,000 of these Total Monies [is supposed to] go to STATE SERVICES; imagine it if The Lottery were to merely be abolished, altogether?

:-).

because, honestly, ain't no black person who really needs It will be winning THE BIG PRIZE, ever, anyway ─ such qualifying-lottery tickets will never be distributed to [urban areas], of course; so, they can save That Money for something more productive^(♫-4), i'd reck'n.

seeing as we are willing to spend A Billion, collectively, for That which rarely ever materializes [for those truly in need], why not just redirect those funds directly towards The State?
just imagine if every state (which have such Big Spenders in them) were to operate in that way?
we'd need only strictly enforce anti-Pork/anti-Wasting Regulations, and *bam,* theoretically, many more problems should thusly be circumvented.


yeah?
