Tired of ebay

Ebay has really become an awful virtual marketplace. Sure, there are still some great deals on there and if you are looking for some truly iconic bro gear to up your street cred, there are few competitors. However, upon closer inspection you will realize that ebay has lost its collective touch. A couple quick searches will reveal that "Buy it now" has conquered virtually all the listings. In case all of the sellers want my opinion, here it is:

I'm not on ebay to pay whatever arbitrary price you set. I am on there to win prizes and score cheap gear.  Half of the ebay fun was beating out some schmo for a $10.00 shirt with a last second bid. I'm afraid to say it but the glory days are long gone.

Pretty sure my neighbor is a drug kingpin

Facts:

1. Always several dumpy cars parked outside of her place
2. She is never without a dufflebag, backpack, or large "purse"
3. She keeps weird hours (i.e. never goes to work during the day, yet doesn't leave regularly enough at night to indicate that she works a night shift)

Bro King Status

At some point in every bro's journey through this game we call life, he eventually reaches the following question:

Is there anything more Bro than a vintage, game-worn, Utah Jazz jersey?

And my answer to that is: Why, yes there is.
A vintage Greg Ostertag, game-worn, Utah Jazz jersey.
Check mate.

If you like Montblanc pens (and you should), here you go

A great man once said, "Anyone who takes himself seriously must never use the same Montblanc two days in a row."

That's what we call, "Rubies in the snakes' eyes."

In honor of Gucci's recent release from the Fulton County (AKA the 404,  the 808,  Hotlanta, or Houstatlantavegas) jail, I decided to dedicate a post in his honor. I hope that he's decided to be a good boy but as he readily admits, he is stoopid so we probably shouldn't expect him to become a member of the Vienna_Boys'_Choir overnight.

In other incarcerated rappers news,  Lil Weezy was recently caught with contraband. I think this is a pretty silly rule. How is Weezy supposed to stay on top of his craft or even drop a couple songs if these prisons are taking away his tools? I hope the right person sweeps that shit under the proverbial rug.

In my research about Lil Wayne, I was surprised to see that President Obama has referenced him several times in public:

Speaking to a largely African-American audience during a general election campaign town hall speech in Georgia, Obama exhorted children to stay in school and achieve their dreams through education and perseverance instead of hoping for shortcuts to fame and riches, stating: "You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school."

After assuming the Presidency, Obama later echoed this theme of personal and familial responsibility—and the difficulty of achieving Lil Wayne's lyrical skills or success—during an address to a meeting commemorating the 100th anniversary of the NAACP, telling the audience:


"They might think they’ve got a pretty jump shot or a pretty good flow, but our kids can’t all aspire to be LeBron or Lil Wayne. I want them aspiring to be scientists and engineers, doctors and teachers, not just ballers and rappers. I want them aspiring to be a Supreme Court justice. I want them aspiring to be president of the United States of America."
