Just because...

Ummm, ILL

According to Hollywood insiders, Eddie Murphy is rumored to be playing Richard Pryor in an upcoming biopic on the historic comedian. The biopic is to be written and directed by Bill Condon, who wrote and directed Dreamgirls as well as producing the Oscars this year, interestingly enough.

From Norbit to Meet Dave to a host of other shitty movies, Eddy Murphy has had a lot more strikeouts in recent years than he ever did in his past when his movies were box office gold. However, I have faith in the man to honestly portray his good friend and mentor, Richard Pryor. There is no one else in Hollywood who I could imagine doing a better job or being more fitting for the role. He's been doing it since '87 anyways...

so this is how it ends

Rocky Mountain News printed their last paper today, 55 days before their 150th birthday. They were a good newspaper that got bit by the times. More will follow.

Here is Rocky's goodbye letter to their readers:

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to you today. Our time chronicling the life of Denver and Colorado, the nation and the world, is over. Thousands of men and women have worked at this newspaper since William Byers produced its first edition on the banks of Cherry Creek on April 23, 1859. We speak, we believe, for all of them, when we say that it has been an honor to serve you. To have reached this day, the final edition of the Rocky Mountain News, just 55 days shy of its 150th birthday is painful. We will scatter. And all that will be left are the stories we have told, captured on microfilm or in digital archives, devices unimaginable in those first days. But what was present in the paper then and has remained to this day is a belief in this community and the people who make it what it has become and what it will be. We part in sorrow because we know so much lies ahead that will be worth telling, and we will not be there to do so. We have celebrated life in Colorado, praising its ways, but we have warned, too, against steps we thought were mistaken. We have always been a part of this special place, striving to reflect it accurately and with compassion. We hope Coloradans will remember this newspaper fondly from generation to generation, a reminder of Denver’s history – the ambitions, foibles and virtues of its settlers and those who followed. We are confident that you will build on their dreams and find new ways to tell your story. Farewell – and thank you for so many memorable years together.

Blame it on the al al al al cohol

This is why Jamie Foxx is ill. From In Living Color to his much forgotten R&B album in the 90s to The Jamie Foxx Show to Ali to Golddigger to Ray, the dude has range like a maf*cka. To prove he's still got it, my man has one of the hottest bangers in the game right now with "Blame It." And to top it all off, he's got Jake Gyllehnaal, Ron Howard (!), Forest Whitaker, Samuel L. Jackson, and a slew of other people in the just released video.

Top Chef Finale Review

I was all riled up to write my scathing review of the Top Chef Finale in which I truly let out my hate for the douchebag deluxe that is Hosea. But then I read Gawker's on point(and hilarious might I add) review and realized I could do no better myself. On top of that, I then read a Dlisted post about Casey's public statements backstabbing Carla in response to the outcry over the results of last night's episode (f*cking Hosea...)

Please folks, read both of these reviews if you truly want to understand just how enraged Kiki is about this mess.

Dammit Padma, how could you let this happen???

Top Chef Ends. Rash of Self-Inflicted Fork-Into-Eye Wounds Reported - Gawker

Sharpen My Shank - Dlisted

PS I hate Hosea. Sorry, I just had to get that out one more time.
PPS Hosea looks like a real life version of the cartoon guy from Far Side. I hate him. (Props to Gawker for the discovery)

The Speeches

There are a lot of pics and videos on the front page right now so i will refrain from posting any.

Tonight, if you cared, you saw two speeches; one from the President of the United States of America, and the other by a twelve year old boy jockeying for the pres' job.

Obama gave a good speech that expressed optimism and direction. He laid out his plan to get our America back in a new cars every two years with thousand dollar hand bags hanging from her shoulder. I'm not sure if his plan will work, and neither is he, but I do believe that action is necessary. Sometimes a forest needs to be burned to the ground so when it grows back it is stronger and healthier, but it can not grow without sun and water.

Time will tell how we get out of this mess.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...
I had a lot of respect for you but damn dude you lost it quick. Not only did you regurgitate 70% of the same principles that Obama ran on, but you also called him out on ish like no tax cuts after he just explained them. And yes I realized that your speech was completed way before you actually gave it, but that's just stupid when your giving a rebuttal to something that happened five minutes earlier. You also tried to cover up your southern accent you sly dog you, because you and I know you have a much stronger drawl. Scared of the Northerners are we? Also, why did you speak to me like it was reading time in Mrs. Karp's 1st grade class? I like stories, but please no stories about Katrina and how the GOP helped.

You see, this is what is wrong with the you Repubs right now. Not only are you grabbing at straws but you are also playing a crazy game of chicken. Us Americans are on to your game and we laugh at its stupidity. Quit complain about the govt getting involved when everyone is asking for the govt to help. The country is hurting right now and instead of doing what your constituents want you rather spend time trying to make the other guy look bad because you think it will get you brownie points when reelections come around. It might work if all things go to hell, but dudes if we get back on our feet relatively soon we will remember that all you were doing was throwing wrenches when we needed a hammer. And have you really thought about the fact that things can get really really bad. Of course not, because politicians are rich and bad economies really don't affect them.

I am not a fan of many politicians, repubs and demos, but dammit Bobby I thought you were better, if not smarter than this. Were you educated in Louisiana? Who cares anyway, you're done.

Burn it all to the ground.

Phil Hartman

Mr. Hartman was a funny dude. He was awesome on Newsradio, and perfect in Houseguest. I don't remember him too well from SNL but i'm sure he had his followers. If you're interested here is his audition tape from '86:

Kiki's favorite commercial

Props to Microsoft on this one, it gets me every time. She's just so freaking cute. She's a 2009 version of the Jerry Maguire kid. Except a girl. and Asian. and she knows how to take and upload pictures onto a computer.

Those Bastards

The Oscars were cool the other night and some deserving people won, but boy did the committee screw up royally.
Don LaFontaine, remember him? The guy with the voice. The guy who has voiced practically every movie trailer since 1970. Yea him. He died this year, but nooooo the Academy can't give the dude any recognition. them crazies. It's kinda like the Grammys forgetting to remember Leroi Moore of DMB during their memorium.

so here at Serious we salute you LaFontaine:

Spain has it all

Not only do the Spaniards have Penelope and the bulls, but they also have a little festival called Despertà (wake-up). It is celebrated the last Sunday of Feb its only real purpose is to make as much noise as possible.

Hahahahaha

I'm so glad Family Guy is back with new episodes, it's been a minute since the last batch of new eps. I absolutely love this show, it has stayed consistently funny through the years and few things make Kiki happier than a Sunday night with a new episode of Family Guy.

Check out the hilarious clip below from last night's episode of Christian Bale going off on Peter.

Sunday Night Jam

We're gonna take it nice and easy tonight and give you one of my favourite songs since i first heard it as a lil kid. Crosby Stills Nash and this time Young's "Wooden Ships" is one sweet ass, cool you down, warm you up, anti-war, pro bipartisanship, love ya like a brother type songs that if you don't like then i don't like you.

This is the best version on youtube but it's missing the final verse that i sing in my head on the regular:


And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go

My Funny Valentine

Chet Baker had his issues with heroin but the dude was talented beyond measure. He blew a mean trumpet and before he lost his teeth he could sing with the best of them. Josh Hartnett will soon be playing him on the big screen. Till then enjoy this Valentine's day with Mr. Baker's rendition of My Funny Valentine:

Quote of the day

On Being Able To Tell If He's Any Good Or Not

"You know by the kiss. How he kisses is how he is in bed. In conclusion, it’s all about the kiss. If you and the person are kissing, you know. If you’re not kissing, you can tell by the way he touches you. If he grabs your tits within the first two seconds, he’s nothing but a big grabber. If he holds you and moves his hands down the rest of your body, he’s going to do that all over your body. If he’s patting you on the head and sh*t, leave. Don’t deal with no patting. No patting! This is 2009. Barack Obama is the president. We can’t do patting no more. It is our patriotic duty to rub, caress, soothe, stroke. All those things. We grown now, people!"
- J.D. Williams of The Wire (nymag)

Good night.

"Hey kid, let me see your baby making i.d."

The little kid you see above is not the big brother to the four day old baby in his arms, no no, he is the father. Alfie Patten is his name and 13 is his age. This little don juan was playing anatomy with his 15 year old girl and the next thing they knew she was preggers. Imagine growing up with your father being only THIRTEEN years older than you. That's like pops dropping his kid off for 1st grade only to turnaround and rush to freshman english at the college down the street. At this rate he's gonna be a grandpa by the time he's 26. Babies be havin grandbabies.

Kiki and Bar Sitting in a Tree...

For all of you who read Beefy's post below about Joaquin Phoenix's crazy ass being interviewed on Letterman last night, I have another gem from the very same episode. After Joaquin, Dave had the honor of interviewing 2009 SI Swimsuit cover girl, Bar Rafaeli aka Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend aka the love of Kiki's life. I mean, this girl is fiiiiiiiiine. For all of y'all that don't know, she is a smoking hot 23-year old from Israel with a body that is the perfect combination of fit and feminine.

Somewhere, Gisele is fuming with envy...

Peep the gorgeous Bar Rafaeli below:

Welcome Back, Quentin

Well, it looks like Quentin Tarantino might be reviving his career. After his last picture "Deathproof" flopped bigtime, he needs a hit now more than ever. And it looks like he has done it with his new film, "Inglorious Basterds." The movie has a stellar cast of Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Mike Myers, Sam Jackson, and even BJ Novak (yes, Ryan from The Office).

The premise of the movie revolves around a squad of Jewish-Americans soldiers known as "The Basterds" whose mission is to spread fear throughout Nazi-occupied France during WWII by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. Along the way, the Basterds cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris that is targeted by soldiers.

This is the kind of story that Tarantino not only thrives on, but is also one that allows him to broaden his horizons and venture into new territory creatively that differs from his signature films, i.e. "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." Also promising is the fact that Liutenant Aldo Raine seems to be the perfect type of unique, edgy character that Brad Pitt will inhabit and kill it in, i.e. his memorable performances in Snatch, 12 Monkeys, and Fight Club.

Couple all of those things with the ill new trailer that was just released, and Tarantino has found himself a fan in Kiki. Check it out below:

I like the new Joaquin Pheonix

I have no clue what he's trying to pull off, but dammit it's working. The dude quit acting so he could rap, and man he shouldn't of done that, but whatever.

Tonight he was on Letterman, and dude was craazzzy! So naturally Dave gots to make fun of some hollywood doucheiness:

how not to treat the lady this V-day

I laugh a lot, but few things actually make me laugh (think about it). Maybe it's the weather, but this video made me laugh.

Oh to be young again

So we move on from hip hop culture to the second luckiest baby in the world. Kiki touched on this the other day, but now we have video proof that Salma Hayek fed her tata to someone elses wawa. Babies have all the luck.

lil wayne meets big woody

not only was lil wayne on around the horn today, he won, albeit with a little help from host tony realli, an admitted hip hop head. weezy took on fifteen or so of the most relevant topics in sports today. the four time grammy winner used his 30 seconds of face time concluding the show to throw some shots at lawrence taylor for jumping on the next season of "dancing with the stars." he also urged a-rod to do something positive for all the kids that he's disappointed and suggested that nhl players keep their helmets on if they're gonna fight. then he drank a warm glass of sizzerp with woody paige and ate j.a. adande's soul.

double up ish

shame.

NYTimes Magazine - "Great Performers"

Peep the link below to check out NYT Magazine's ill spread titled "Great Performers." It has dope, exclusive photos and audio commentary of the featured actors and actresses which include Kate Winslet, Frank Langella, RDJ, Sean Penn, Kat Dennings, Mickey Rourke, Penelope Cruz (the love of Kiki's life and favorite of all the spreads, followed by Sean Penn), and finally, Mr. Brad Pitt.

NYT Magazine "Great Performers"

Well since everyone else is posting...

Fires continue to rage in Australia and arsonist are not making it any easier.

Temperatures have been blazing (pun really wasn't intended), hitting 119F in some areas. Add that to the 100 foot walls of fire that have killed over 130 people and destroyed nearly 1000 homes, it all adds up to Hell On Earth. What is making problems worse is that after the firefighters put out a fire and move on to another, suspected arsonist are relighting areas because they are arsonist and that's the stupid shite they do.


Speaking of hell on earth, Alex Rodriguez must feel like he's permanently stuck there. Not only is "frosty tips" disliked by his peers and baseball fans in general, but it appears that he is also hated by his own government (the same govt he gives $12million to every year in taxes). Someone from the Feds leaked the "confidential" results of a 2003 drug test he took. Uh Oh! All MLB players took the drug test in '03, 104 were found to have steroids in their system, Arod being one of them. Only Arods name was leaked.

Bad weekend all around.

At least Chris Brown is hitting the ground running as he plans to enter the studio on Monday to record a remake of Prodigy's "Smack My B*tch Up." Chris, I do believe it's too soon.

Say It Ain't So Chris...

There's a good reason why pop's young "It" couple weren't at the Grammys tonight. Chris Brown is currently being investigated for allegedly assaulting Rihanna Saturday night after Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bash. Apparently, they were having an argument in a car, and things escalated when they stopped the car and got out. This is when things supposedly turned physical. 911 was then called, but Brown had fled by the time the police arrived.

The identity of the woman has yet to be revealed, but insiders are saying it was definitely Rihanna, who is now sporting visible injuries on her face. According to Bossip, who Kiki tends to believe in these sorts of matters, word on the street is that Breezy flipped his wig at Rihanna because she gave him Herpes....damn! So if all this turns out to be true, these two young superstars will forever be tainted. It will be public knowledge that both have Herpes (that shit is for life son!) and for Breezy in particular, beating up a girl is not exactly an easy thing to shake off, especially when the majority of your fans are of said gender....yikes.

Breezy turned himself in to police at 6:30PM on Sunday and was officially booked at 7:41PM for making criminal threats. He posted $50,000 bail and was released.

It will definitely be interesting to see how this one unfolds...

America’s greatest sales crew wears green vests

Cookie Sales 2.0

The reason boy scouts as an organization are irrelevant is that they learn basket-weaving. Meanwhile, their cousin organization sets sales records. Who are you going to hire as your CEO -- a kid who can survive a night in the wilderness or a girl who uses Excel spreadsheets to maximize Thin Mint sales per block? The girl scouts will sell so many cookies this year they will exacerbate the recession among companies that make all other food products. However, their excessive sales will then in turn stimulate the fitness center industry. So really, the net effect on the economy will be neutral.



Girl scouts don’t sell cookies on the side -- these are cookie salespeople who freelance as girl scouts.

Too bad she's limited to only settling with another crazy + her stomach must look like vomit right now. It's a crazy world we live in. vid below:

Happy Birthday Bob Marley

I have never in my life met a person who claims to hate Bob's music. They don't exist. Once you let his music enter your ears you're done for. The grooves travel down your spine and enter your blood stream, and the next thing you know your white blood cells and red blood cells are harmonizing like the jackson5.

His music also has this innate ability to make us happy. Ask Anna Wintour, the ice queen herself. She once spent a week locked up with Bob in a hotel room doing the do and she claims it was the only happy time in her life.

Today Bob would have turned 64, but cancer took his life nearly 28 years ago. This hasn't stopped his music from traveling all parts of the world. I recall traveling different parts of the world and seeing murals of Bob on the sides of houses, and people fashioning shirts with his face. In memory of Bob we give you "Natural Mystic":


also if you are interested Casey Gane McCalla has a little article on Bob and how Obama is carrying on his message.

Obama's Making Money

When tax season rolls around, millions of Americans pay their dues to Uncle Sam. Some people pay crazy percentages, but if your rich it's not so crazy. However, there are a select few who try to stick it in the butt of Uncle Sam and pay him nothing. Obama is putting an end to this debauchery.

Having been President less than three weeks, Obama has already brought back thousands of dead presidents to the vaults. By him selecting uncle rapist for government positions, the guilty have been forced to pay up.

Here is how it breaks down so far:

Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary - $34,000

Hilda Solis, Labour Secretary nominee - $6,400

Nancy Killefer, Chief Performance Officer nominee- $947

Tom Daschle, Health and Human Service Secretary nominee - $140,000

Total - $181,347.00

THIS IS CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN!

Top Chef Review: Leah blows

Tonight's episode was another one of those episodes that has you saying, "What the hell is wrong with you judges? Let me judge this damn thing 'cause the whole stinking lot of you are drunk on the Leah 'kool-aid!'"

A few weeks ago Ariane was booted because Leah decided to half ass her tying of the pork and then refused to take her fair share of blame for it. The following week, during the restaurant challenge, her cooking sucked d again, but she was saved once more, this time by italian boy's service. Last week she did alright, but whatever it was a week ago.

This week we found her in the bottom three with her butt buddy Hosea. But this was after the Quick Fire, where she quit because she didn't want to do it. When I was younger I was taught the example of little Timmy who had lost his dog. I learned that when your dog runs away you get up and find that damn dog. Leah did not watch Billy Madison.

In the elimination challenge her food sucked again. She failed to nail the sauce, she failed to nail the fish, but since she has yet to of nailed Hosea, the judges decided to say goodbye to Jamie.

Now Jaime ain't no angel. She complains as though complaining is an olympic sport she tryin to "michael phelps" in (she doesn't know the secret is in the weed). But this week her mess up was on three sticks of celery. She over salted them and then let the suckers dry out, so they became even saltier. Keep in mind though the focus of this challenge was to mimic your entree of seafood after one of Chef Eric Ripert's entrees.

To the viewer it seemed as though Leah was an outty but low and behold she remains an inny. Eff that b.s..
I will not be wearing my "I heart Padma" shirt tomorrow, but she could still get it. you know what i'm sayin.

excuse me sir

please pause your game and de-snuggie yourself. you are an adult human being.

Michael Phelps, Olympic Pothead

Swimmers and cannabis have always been strongly connected. Swimmers need water and so do plants. The Beetle's Yellow Submarine -- underwater vessel fueled by psychedelia. And the final piece of conclusive evidence: Michael Phelps, who was recently photographed with a bong.

Someone needs to take the fall for this, but who is to blame? Michael Phelps seems like a likely scapegoat, but he just won eight gold medals so it's not probable he makes mistakes. The photographer is another person we could blame, but why fault someone for believing in the first amendment. The media? They're just giving the people the stories they want to hear. That's leaves one group: children.

If kids weren't pressuring Phelpsy into being a hero all the time, with the books and the appearances and the stressful television ads and sponsorships, Phelps wouldn't be looking to escape from his sad existence. The man was about to snap and you continued with your whining and your fanmail (which is almost impossible to keep up with) and now look what you've done. Is this what you wanted? You've done more than humble the man, you have practically dropkicked his dog off a bridge. You kids make me sick. Shame on you children. Shame on you for forcing your lifestyle on your role models. Shame indeed.

Christian Bale x Bill O'Reilly Mashup

I thought I was finally done with listening to the umpteen remixes of Christian Bale's now infamous tirade on the set of Terminator: Salvation. That is, until I discovered this mashup between Bill O'Reilly and Bale. Check it out below, it's effing hilarious.

The Gold Men ain't livin in no Sachs

So the new administration is about to limit pay for the executives at companies that took bailout dollars. Fair enough. You take our money, we cut your pay. So the top dogs that were hoping for their $10 million yearly compensation will now be limited to $500,000. Haha suckas.

Well Goldman Sach ain't havin it. Despite showing record losses for 2008 and taking $10 billion from the us, they have decided that they rather give the money back than have to cut their inflated incomes. whatever man.

bale v. tomlin

so in the wake of christian bale's tantrum on the set of the latest terminator movie, there have been a lot of comparisons made between the dark knight star and lily tomlin, whose caught-on- tape tantrums on the set of "i heart huckabees" are the stuff of legends. joblo.com has neatly packaged said tantrums into a nsfw dialogue.

joaquin the mic

when then actor joaquin pheonix announced that he'd be hanging it up in favor of a music career, i imagined that he'd be doing some country ish, maybe a little indie rock, something with some synth perhaps. but the "walk the line" star, currently channeling rick rubin with a big, overgrown zz top beard, has other ideas. when asked whether his announced rap career was a joke, pheonix responded that while his career may be perceived as "laughable," he's dead serious. and you know what? i like the homeless guy swag. and maybe it's the poor video quality, but his flow is reminiscent of trick daddy.

hmmm...

hilary duff: "old people are gross"

in the wake of getting sonned by fay dunawaye, hilary duff has bared her big ass teef like an angry labradoodle and sunk them into dunawaye's once rotund ass (have you ever seen the thomas crown affair?) during an appearance on e's the daily ten, duff explains that she wasn't much bothered by the legend's less than flattering comments, that she'd be mad if she looked like that too, and that most hilary duff fans don't know who faye dunawaye is anyway. yeah, no sh*t, duff beer, because most of your fans are nine years old and incapable of imagining that a there was a world that existed before 1998. maybe you should just fed-ex her a copy of "a cinderella story" or your scene stealing work in the "cheaper by the dozen" series. honestly, she's old man, just take it on that big chin and go record a rap album about it. actually, nah, don't.

That dude Blago

This guy never ceases to amaze me.
He was on Letterman tonight professing his innocence, like a lil kid.
The dudes balls must be ginormous.

To be fair to him though, I don't think he will be convicted of anything because he really hasn't done anything.
His intent seems like it was wrong, but we really don't know if that was his real intent. His defense has too many ways out of this jumbalya.

anyway stare at the vid:

what i wiki'd...

9:30 PM:



began to write this post:



kobe bryant done gone down to msg and did it again. hours after receiving the news that andrew bynum- who has been playing like a dude who deserves a nickname, but whose name and persona do not really lend themselves to a nickname- might be out for the remainder of the regular season, jellybean's oldest son dropped 61 on the new look knicks. mvp chants abound.



which prompted me to wiki kobe bryant's career acheivements. i then wiki'd mj on a whim, who had a link to nba players who've scored 60 or more points in a game. note to wikipedia, what does kobe have to do to get that link on his page? after perusing that list i wrote this:



this puts him at five 60+ point games on his career. that puts him in a tie with mj for second in history, only twenty-seven behind wilt chamberlain who had 32. that's 32 sixty point games.



which begs the obvious question...most impressive stat? 100 point game? 32 with 60+ points? or 20,000 banged out groupies?

I'm not trying to scare anyone, but...

you might soon have to kill someone in order to survive.

Now I don't really believe that this economic mess we are in is going to lead to total chaos, but Argentina was once on the brink of it.

Towards the end of 2001, Argentina, which was considered a very stable country with beautiful women and great steak, entered into very dark days. Their economy collapsed and shortly there after the government started to loose its grip on its people. Things became very dangerous. Murders, kidnappings and robberies became common place.

A friend of mine, who lived through those crazy times, once recounted a scary story to me. One day he opened his front door and walked into his house to find armed men who demanded him to leave or they would kill him. There was nothing he could do. The gun men would not even allow him to take any of his belongings. What was once his was now theirs.

He came from a wealthy family that had purchased the home for him a year earlier, so he was still able to survive, but many did not.

Argentina soon became a country know only for its beautiful women and great steak.

What will the rest of the world remember of us?

If you are interested to learn more of what life was like for Argentinians during the bad times, here is a link to a first hand account written by a student who survived it.

*this post might have been an excuse to put up pictures of beautiful Argentinian women, but you will never know.

Eff You, Tom Daschle

I can't believe this guy was once the leader of anything, but then again he is/was a politician and you can't be in politics and tell the truth. It's sorta like love and marriage, they just don't mix.

Daschle realized that he owed $148,000 in back taxes in June 2008. In December of '08, he was announced as Obama's choice for head of the Department of Health and Human Services, a job he would be very good at. The problem is that he chose not to pay his back taxes till after Obama nominated him, and then during his vetting he said, "Surpise!." A month and a half later, Daschle has decided to withdraw his nomination. What took you so long Idiot.

So many fail to realize that when you choose to be a public figure, whether it be through public office, sports, or entertainment, you become an example. Your actions influence others. If you claim that you want a better America, but then contributed to her deterioration, well then eff you.

Paris Hilton, eff you.
O.J. Simpson, eff you.
Barry Bonds, eff you.
Roger Clemens, eff you.
Blagojevich, eff you.
Bill Clinton, I love you man, but eff you.
Kwame Kilpatrick, eff you.
Roman Polanski, eff you.
Robert Blake, eff you.
Phil Spector, eff you.
John Edwards, a big eff you.
Chesley Sullenberger, you're my boy blue.

Rock stars are exempt from criticism.

We all make mistakes and no one really expects everyone to be perfect, but dammit, be honest. If you eff up, fess up. You want everyone to know your name, doing something good.

*i am a hypocrite.
