“Kinda Like a Big Deal” by Clipse (feat. Kanye West)
Here, guys, is your song for the weekend. Enjoy yourselves!
Third time’s a charm baby
After two classics another stripe up on my arm baby
It’s a blessin’ to blow a hundred thou in a recession
With no second guessin,
Ha ha we’re ballin, drop tops we’re floorin
Champagne we’re pourin
Re-up is the game and I’m aaaaaaaaaall in!
…
They whisperin about us
I know you haters doubt us
How you count our money we ain’t even finish countin
Pardon me I must say, I’m kinda like a big deal.

Don’ts: Black & white, Blurry photos on purpose, photos in/of Bathtubs, Burning (and dodging), Bums, Brooklyn, Blinking
Dos: Blogs, Breasts, Bunny ears (when you hold up two fingers behind someone’s head in a photo)

“A long, idiotic rant delivered by a demonstrably stupid man was interrupted Monday by the ramblings of a man who, in addition to being stupid, spoke in a very loud voice. “The first man was certainly stupid, but he was more relentless than loud,” said a quiet and somewhat reasonable man who witnessed the dispute. “So when the other man began saying something even stupider at a much higher volume, naturally I had to pay attention to him.” As of press time, both men had quieted down somewhat, but remained stupid.”

“The secret conviction coursing through Wall Strteet’s caverns is this, he writes: “Those who select careers in finance play an exceptional role in our society. They distribute capital to where it’s most effective, and by some Ayn Rand-ian logic, the virtue of efficient markets distributing capital to where it is most needed justifies extreme salaries—these are the wages of the meritocracy.”
