Imus ease on down the road!

Ease on down, Ease on down the road come on,
Ease on down, Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load come on,
Ease on down Ease on down, down the road


I guess that Job was the load that was slowing Don Imus down, but now Imus can just ease on down the road. I am sure he will do fine and unfortunately this will probably be a boost to his career becaue he has risen out of obscurity and into the spotlight. I never heard of this guy and now he is notorious. Ok sure as a female...the term Ho does offend me but I will not just rant and rave about Imus, Bernard McGuirk is actually the one that referred to the players as Hard core Hoes.

True Imus took it further, but they continued with the racial remarks by referring to Jigaboos vs Wannabees. Some bloggers say cute Spike Lee reference. I disagree. First of all he cited the wrong Movie, so I am not so sure as to its innocent nature. Second having watched School Daze and many Spike Lee movies, their are funny parts and although represented in a musical style it was about a serious issue of divide within the Black community based on different shades of black.

Imus and friends seemed to miss the message of Spike Lee's little musical number. So when you do a joke about something and miss the essence it will probably come of as offensive. Being on the outside and never being able to identify with any part of his disparaging comment since he does not have ovaries or nappy hair , his weak attempt at an uncreative, relying on played out sterotypes joke came off as offensive.

I am all for free speech. He said what he said. People responded, advertisers pulled out and the companies he worked for decided to pledge allegiance to the almighty dollar then support his consistently offensive humor. So I guess Money Talks and Imus Walks.

TIIR update

Feb 26-April 1
Studying: 4 days 4 hours 15 minutes 16 seconds
So lot of time spent studying, but very frustrating, and unknown as to whether things are getting better. Trying not to let school crush my spirit. About to step it up and do mornings as well with new study partner.

Exercise: sporadic at best, but snozzberry picking has provided some physical activity
Diet: Stress and healthy eating don't mix, so that has been a negative.

Social: Well met a nice guy named Ron Weasley. That is going better then I could have expected. So he went to Hogwarts Wizarding school and honestly the things he does to me is pure magic. He was really understanding when I had to study and even supplied me with caffeine and school supplies. We hang out, go to nice restaurants, and indulge in snozzberries nonstop. He likes them just as much, maybe even more then I do. I am the first muggle he has ever dated, but I don't think that will be a problem. So this has been an exciting new development that I hope lasts.
