Southwest wouldn't let you wear that

So this morning I was on the balcony doing what I always do at 8:30 in the morning... Avoiding work while finishing my morning coffee and simultaneously watching the vacation crowd jog off their hangovers, when I discovered the latest trend in women's fashion.

I present to you, the jogging skirt:



I am still searching for the male equivalent to this item of clothing, for I too have been plagued by a lack of formality in my workout attire. If any of you have a line on a nice quality pair of running slacks or Saucony wing-tips, I'm sick of feeling under dressed when I cruise by a bounce-walker in one of my old SYR T-shirts.

I Remeber a time when Rough Ryders stood for something.

So I forgot to post this article I read a little over a week ago. Props to HolyTaco.com for even bringing it to my attention...being that I don't often catch XXL magazine.

"Hey who's that white guy wastin' my flava?"

Recently DMX was interviewed by XXL Magazine. Apparently Rough Rider 1 has been just too busy pulling kick ass wheelies on his atv while blaring Aretha Franklin to follow recent world news. No? Doesn't sound right? Maybe he was too busy eating a really really good peanut butter and banana sandwhich? Most likely he has been living under a rock, stopping by to visit his career before coming back to lay down possibly the single best commentary ever written about this years looming elections.

From HolyTaco.com : "(Warning: You are about to read the greatest interview of all time.)"

XXL Magazine: Are you following the presidential race?
DMX: Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the f*** is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the f***?! That ain’t no f***in’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f*** outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the f***, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his f***in’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your f***in’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

I hope everyone here found that to be as engaging as I did. I mean, honestly, they say rap music has been a player in the destruction of our youth. But I wash my hands of this and see no harm.

My favorite part is the use of the word "requigreen". That's how you know this is a lucrative offer. Anytime "green" randomly inserts itself within other words, its a surefire indication of millions to be made.

A Candidate for Change

-They'll Say, "Can you Transform??"
-And He'll Say, "Yes I CAN"

Irony is when you buy a suit with two pairs of pants, and then burn a hole in the jacket.

Now when you google "Andrew Floro" one of the top results is the blog post where Andrew talks about googling himself. I find the irony delightful.

So I was googling myself last night when...

I found this...and just to let you know this is no joke. I was bored, and I googled myself.

I found Bizarro Andrew

Andrew Floro (Head Black Belt Instructor-Taekwondo) Mr. Andrew Floro, a younger brother to Master Mariano Floro, is the Head Fulltime Black Belt Instructor promoted by Grandmaster Shin with a prestigious Kukkiwon certification from the World Taekwondo Headquarters. He is also certified as an AAU Coach in Taekwondo.

Mr. Floro began his martial arts training with Grandmaster Shin over 18 years ago in St. Louis, Missouri. He has had extensive training in practical, unarmed self-defense methods and specializes in several martial art forms, including Taekwondo, Judo and Hapkido.

With his special knowledge of several martial art forms and dedication to excellence, the Academy welcomes Mr. Floro's innovative vision and leadership

So there is an Andrew Floro out there that shares an affinity for flying, the military, and of all things martial arts.

Oh and also THE Unlimited Juice Party came up on Google with my name

I am the REAL Andrew Floro
