Make you a celebrity overnight... (c) Twista

So, Justin Halpern was just like any of you other twitter addicts out there... Tweeting random nonsense about his life and so on...Well...except for the fact that joining twitter got him a book deal AND a tv show...

Not familiar with Mr. Halpern... We'll let wikipedia catch you up...

"Shit My Dad Says" is a Twitter feed started by Justin Halpern, a semi-employed comedy writer. It consists of quotes made by Halpern's father, Sam, regarding random subjects. Halpern started the account on August 3, 2009, soon after moving from Los Angeles back to his parents' house in San Diego. In less than a month, the page was featured on The Daily Show, a popular San Francisco blog called Laughing Squid and by Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Kristen Bell. As of 13 June 2010, the feed has over 1,406,000 followers.

In September 2009, Halpern found an agent and started sifting through book deals.[3] He signed an agreement with Harper Collins in October 2009. The book based on the feed, Sh*t My Dad Says, was released on May 4, 2010. During its first week, the book reached #8 on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover nonfiction.

In November 2009, CBS announced that they were developing a television sitcom based on the twitter feed, which would star William Shatner. The series, officially titled $#*! My Dad Says, was green-lit by CBS in May 2010 and will air on CBS during the 2010-11 season.

So I am mildly obsessed with Edgar Mueller... For those that don't know he is a 3D street artist and I have been following him for YEARS! I was very surprised when I realized that I had never posted about him... Anywho, here is some of his amazing pieces of his artwork







Watch him work...

IRRESPONSIBLE WHITE PERSON WEDNESDAY

Raymond Jackson

Mr. Jackson was recently charged with first-degree criminal abuse which is a felony that is punishable by five years to 10 years in prison. Why do you ask? Well, he decided it would be a good idea to allow his 2 year old step son to drink gin and iced tea. The child's mother, Amanda Jackson is equally irresponsible as well... for leaving her child in the care of someone that would even consider doing such a thing... SMH.

Lupe Fiasco is starting up the All City Chess Club... A collective of artists that probably weren't labeled the "popular kids" in High School... It involves himself, Asher Roth, B.o.B, The Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, Blu, Wale, Diggy, J. Cole, and Pharrell.... I'm down... I'm a fan on some kind of level of all the artists with the exception of Charles Hamilton... I'm hoping that this "movement" actually goes somewhere, because Lord knows I'm still waiting on something new to be released from CRS... it's been like three years! :(

If you ask me I'm ready... (c) Alicia Keys

In fact... I've BEEN READY for my dearest friend Abu to start up his blog... He has done several posts on HurtMEEZYSoul that several people have hit me up about... Well, lucky for you he is doin his own thing and you will be blessed with his coonerific intellectualisms on the regular... I will keep you abreast of when the site launches... but for now just enjoy the sweetness that is the blog's header :)

IRRESPONSIBLE WHITE PERSON WEDNESDAY!

George Rekers
Mr. Rekers is a Baptist minister and anti-gay rights activist... He was recently caught with his own personal gay escort/prostitute in the airport. What was Mr. Rekers explanation you ask? "I had surgery...and I can't lift luggage. That's why I hired him." His medical problems didn't seem to stop him from pushing his baggage cart throughout the entire airport... SMH

SEASON 3 of The Boondocks debuted last night and twitter was POPPIN! I had to watch it twice because I was so busy tweeting that I missed the satirical subtleties that makes The Boondocks so prolific... I was more than pleased with the season debut and I can't wait for more... I'm like a FIEND! What makes The Boondocks so ingenious is that even the people that the show pokes fun of are fans of it... I hope that it forces some of those people to look at themselves critically... That would be pretty sweet! Lol.
