Lmaooo
This made me happy.
Godric has been my best friend ever since we met five years ago. Like me, Godric prefers not to talk to other people, loves running, and has seen every episode of Law and Order: SVU ever made. Recently, Godric tore a ligament in one of his rear legs, requiring a surgery repair so he can continue...
Hey y'all my friends pup could use your help!!
He shut it down.
That last statement is the shit Fox lives by lmao
I’ve been watching old Prince clips (as I do), and yesterday came across this gem from 2014. He was on the revamped Arsenio Hall Show and helped an audience member break up with his cheating girlfriend. You should watch it, because the delivery is so perfect.
Prince: “Who’s this new guy you’re seeing, and are you trying to get back with Steven or what? Talk to me.”
Keegan: “Steven moved to L.A., and I’ve been hanging out with my ex, trying to figure out what’s up.”
Prince: “Well, listen. Steven’s a good guy, but I have a message for you, from him.”
Keegan: “Should I be nervous?”
Prince: “No, no. It’s a good message. In this relationship, things are much harder than in the single world.”
Audience: [loses it]
Prince: “Keegan?”
Keegan: “Yes?”
Prince: “In this life… you’re on your own.”
Prince: “Keegan?”
Keegan: “Yes?”
Prince: “This is what it sounds like when Steven breaks up wichu.”
oh my god this is amazing
Brilliant.
I miss him

How I Afford Travel
Badass trips on a not-so-badass budget.
Many travel blogs are written by people who’ve sold all their possessions and have taken a huge plunge into the world of long-term travel. This can sound expensive at first, but when you consider that you don’t have rent or a car payment in this lifestyle (or much room to carry any possessions), it can actually be very cheap to live this way, provided you can work a little along the way, or do some kind of virtual freelancing or contract work.
I’m not one of those people.
I do have rent to pay, and a car payment, and bills, and the trappings of a fairly typical middle class young urban professional life. I have a cat. I work in a cubicle. I like some amount of routine, and sleeping in my own bed. I have a ladder to climb, that I want to climb.
I also don’t have a ton of free income to spend on travel.
Despite all this, in the past 2 years I’ve managed to visit 9 cities in 4 countries (Colombia, Jordan, Egypt, Spain) and very soon I’ll be off to visit 7 more cities in 3 countries (Italy, Croatia, and Spain again – I love Spain), a 17 day trip; a few weeks after I return, I’m off again on a small trip to Mexico for a wedding. When I’m done, that’s 16 cities, 7 countries, in just 2 years. Not much for the permanent nomad, but a lot for someone who’s expected to be at work by 8:30am every weekday.
When people find out how much I travel, some imagine I must have a lot of spare income or be a trust fund baby. I keep encountering this perception – especially among Americans – that travel is this huge undertaking that is incredibly expensive. Well, it sure can be, if you choose to make it that way. But if you step outside this perception, and do some research, you’ll find that it really doesn’t have to be that way. Travel can be affordable, if you plan for it and prioritize it in your life.
Here’s how I do it:
1. Flights. By far, this can be the single most expensive purchase of your trip. A coach round trip ticket from the US to Europe usually runs anywhere from $700-1200 on average, depending on the season. The trick is: don’t buy your ticket with actual money. Buy it with fake money called points or miles. A few years ago, I strategically opened 2 different credit cards (one an AmEx, one a British Airways Visa) with unusually crazy high enrollment bonuses. Within just a few months’ time I went from 0 miles to 50,000 AmEx points (redeemable for airline miles on at least a 1:1 basis) and 100,000 British Airways miles. Keep in mind, BA is part of the OneWorld alliance, so I can book with other airlines using these miles. In just a few months’ time, with 2 credit cards (that didn’t hurt my credit, by the way) I earned enough miles to take 3 international round trip flights – without ever stepping on an airplane. I got the AmEx points simply for opening the card, and I earned the BA miles after spending $2500 in 3 months, which wasn’t that hard for me because I strategically put ALL my expenses on the card for 3 months.
The trick is knowing which cards to open. These cards usually aren’t well advertised, so you’ll have to do your research. A few good resources to get you started: Unconventional Guides: Frequent Flyer Master by Chris Guillebeau. This is actually the first resource I used to learn more about travel hacking. If you’re a total newb, as I was, this is the best introduction to the world of frequent flyer miles that exists. But it’s not overly simplistic; there are a ton of insider tricks and tools in here that I haven’t even taken advantage of yet. This guide is the reason I earned 150,000 miles without stepping foot on an airplane. FrugalTravelGuy.com This is a great blog for those interested in staying up to date on the latest frequent flyer news and credit card offers.
FlyerTalk.com This is a forum for the serious hardcore travel hackers – the credit card “churners” who sometimes earn up to 1 million miles a year doing this. FlyerTalk can be intimidating at first if you’re new to all this, so I’d recommend starting from the top and working your way down.
2. Rooms. Very rarely do I stay in what most Americans think of as a “hotel” when I travel abroad. Many travel hackers and frequent business travelers are loyal to a certain brand of hotel, especially those with their own reward points systems, which earn them free stays (and yes, there are credit cards for this too). These can be a great value and I do participate in a few programs like Hilton HHonors for stateside bookings. For my international trips, however, I prefer everyday price flexibility, so I book a variety of inexpensive, off the beaten path accommodation types – and none of them involve splitting a room with strangers, camping (not counting the bedouin camp I stayed with in Petra, which I did for the experience and not the savings), or couchsurfing. A lot of people associate budget travel with roughing it, but it is possible to be comfortable. In fact, by avoiding the beaten path, I usually have a less expensive, equally as comfortable, and more interesting cultural experience. Most of my international trips have involved staying at a combination of private rooms at hostels, small independently owned hotels, bed & breakfasts, and private apartments.
Hostelworld.com This room search and booking site will expand your idea of what a hostel can be. Often you’ll find that smaller, inexpensive and independent hotels will list rooms on Hostelworld even if they have a website and brand themselves as a hotel or bed & breakfast. You can search for rooms nearly anywhere in the world, filter by room type (most hostels have private bedrooms, some with private bathrooms and some with shared bathrooms), location (there’s a handy map view), price and more. It’s also low risk - you just pay a small 10% down payment when you book and the rest when you check in. I’ve stayed in some very nice hostels for a fraction of the cost of an equal quality hotel and it’s one of the first places I look when I start planning a trip.
Booking.com This is a rising star in the online travel booking world for hotels. Based in Amsterdam, they are one of my top sources for rooms in Europe (though they offer rooms in several other parts of the world too). Booking.com’s strength is their breadth of rooms available; you can find a variety of low-cost, tiny, independently owned hotels that will be difficult or impossible to find elsewhere. They even offer free cancellation on many rooms. Their pricing also cannot be beat – sometimes I even find rooms that are less expensive than hostels!
Airbnb.com I am a huge fan of this service. A major disruptor to the online travel booking industry, Airbnb offers you the ability to reserve a room in a private apartment directly through someone who lives and is local to the place you’re going. You can book entire apartments or just spare bedrooms, allowing you the choice between having a cozy place all to yourself or staying with – and getting to know– a local, something that may not have happened otherwise (and my most memorable trips have been those in which I connected with locals while I was there). A few other perks can involve more amenities than a budget hostel or hotel may offer, such as the ability to wash your own laundry or cook your own food if you need to (it is an apartment, after all). I travel for 2 weeks at a time when possible (more on that later), and I pack only a carry-on. After a week like that, a washing machine is an unexpectedly welcome blessing. You’ll also get to feel more like a local, even if you never meet your host. You’re staying in a neighborhood, not a commercial, touristy zone. There’s a lot to be said for that. Finally, I love their website. Not only very easy to use and socially integrated, the design is beautiful. I love flipping through the home slideshow of gorgeous apartments on offer. It’s interior design porn at its most authentic – these are real peoples’ homes!
3. Timing and trip length. I would be remiss to say that the above 2 factors are the only methods I use to travel to so many places affordably. The fact is, I can say I fit in 16 cities and 7 countries in 2 years because of how many of those cities and countries I manage to pack into a single trip. In 2011, I did only a 1-week trip to Colombia. In 2012, I did a 17-day trip to Jordan, Egypt, and Spain. This year, I’ll do another 17-day trip (that’s essentially 12 vacation days) to Italy, Croatia, and Spain. Considering all the places within those countries I travel to in each trip, I typically pack up and move on every 2-3 days. That’s not a lot of time in each place! Just enough to visit the major sites, take in the atmosphere, and decide if I’m intrigued enough to return someday to make a longer trip of it.
This pace is not for everyone, but it works for me. I’m restless, and like squeezing every drop out of my precious vacation days. Plus, nothing’s worse than booking 5 days in a place you’ve never been, only to arrive and find out you’re bored after 1 day and it’s too late to make any changes. I intend to see the world, and I have to do it in 2 weeks per year. So, I compromise. It can be a little tiring, but I don’t take these trips necessarily to relax – I take them to recharge in other ways. Travel is my passion and I crave new cultural experiences. My worldview has expanded a little more each time I set foot on US soil again; this is creative fuel to the fire of everything I do, from painting to marketing strategy. That’s why I’m determined to prioritize it, even with a limited budget. For those who’ve also been bitten by the travel bug, you get it. The rest of the world will go on thinking that we’re rich, and I suppose that’s fine.

I’m I’m still gon 100% dump his 3% cheating ass
That’s no way to treat a good man.
Yes. He gotta put her through adversity cause what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.
Wtf?
This is jokes
When u 100% agree with being a 97% good man a 3% savage
Apparently an A+ isn’t good enough for these women.
That 3% will have your ass dumped and cut in my book.
Wooooow this is really a debate? Okay let’s switch the roles
So females are allowed to fuck other dudes once a month then??
Yo can we refrain from using misogynistic terms like “females”? That’s very dehumanising.
^^^this male is a dumbass

this nigga just out here clowning
If someone offered you 97% of a footlong sub you gon pass it up because it’s missing 0.36 of an inch?
Such pride.
Great analogy my brotha.
I am confusion. Ain’t no grades or percents in my relationship. You’re either with me or you’re not. It’s pretty simple. You wanna fuck other women? Then don’t be with me and go fuck everyone and anyone. Dragging me along isn’t tolerated.
I can’t believe women are being so selfish about this. You guys aren’t being rational.
Please try to see reason.
^^This why black men date white girls. Nothing is ever good enough for black women.
Amen my A+ brother. While I love my ebony sistas, white women completely understand that an A+ Guy is a catch and would definitely appreciate him for the 97% he does bring to the table instead of harassing him for the 3% he falls short on.
I love my coffee black but there isnt anything wrong with a little more cream 👌🏾
These niggas preachin. Church in session.
holy fuck I can’t even deal with the ignorance these dudes continue to type on this post goodnight lmao
“This is why black men date white women.”
This is so telling of your character, not the women you date or choose to date. It says more about you than it does about them which is straight up degrading. Everything about this post is degrading. To say to ANY woman that they’re being irrational because they want to be with someone who is 100% down for them…not this bullshit 97% while you expect them to be 100 with you is all I see that’s irrational.
Honestly where is the fucking logic? To place some kind of capital on women and you expect US to respect you?
Please. Miss me with that bullshit.

Fuck that 3%. What the actual fuck happened to being a 100% good dude. Let’s say you put yourself in her shoes. If your girl cheated on you once a month you’d be fucked up. Don’t get it twisted and think you got all the options. The ratio of Black women to men is like 7:1.
If somebody offer me 97% of a foot long steak sub imma eat.
White woman here saying I’d dump your ass too, these ladies got it right! You’re nuts.
What those dudes don’t realize is women are like a course you audit. It’s either pass or fail. This shit ain’t highschool.
Dudes never once answered the flip side. Why the fuck is it so hard to fathom that this shit has nothing to do with numbers you cheat on her once you’re unfaithful and don’t deserve her, she is going to dump your ass same as you dipshits would if she cheated on you. But I guess your dumbass analogies are the only thing you understand lemme stoop down to your ignorant level and explain it like i would to a child, which you fucking are. Damn right I am gonna deny that sandwich I paid for a footlong, not gonna accept anything less. I pay for 100% of a sandwich, I better get fucking 100% of it. But relationships aren’t sandwiches and aren’t numbers. They are a commitment, and if you aren’t going to be faithful, don’t be in a relationship, shitstain.
Ma'am, the example presented said you were offered a sub, not buying a sub. It’s pretty insensitive to compare a relationship to prostitution.

It’s pretty fucking stupid to compare a relationship to a stranger giving me a sandwich but here I was catering to your acorn mind. My mistake. If you cant fathom that no one wants to be cheated on I hope you die alone so your dumbass never hurts anyone on the off chance that some poor woman offers her feelings to you.
Ad hominem, very classy ma’am, very classy ideed. Your true colors as an internet bully are shining bright. I wouldn’t expect an EMT to be so hurtful; hope you sleep well tonight with that on your conscience.

Alton Sterling was killed by police on Tuesday, leaving behind five children.
“On Wednesday, Awkward Black Girl and Insecure writer/actress Issa Rae tweeted about wanting to start a scholarship fund for Sterling’s surviving children, explaining, “Some of us feel helpless when these things happen, but that’s a small step.” She then got in contact with the family’s lawyer and started a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $200,000 for all of Sterling’s children. As Rae proudly noted just nine hours later, the goal had already been met. At time of publication, the donations are closing in on $300,000, with every dollar going to Sterling’s family.“
As I’m posting this donations are at $391,587.
We will fight for justice We will fight against racism We will fight against police brutality
