why you gotta try to keep a brotha down?

what’s with this “BLACK” friday shit?

when will america learn? black THINGS are not inherently bad because of their blackness…it’s black PEOPLE that are inherently bad because of their blackness…

JUST KIDDING!!!

…moving on.

i don’t know why they call it black friday, i just know that i want no part of it. stores opening at midnight of 5am or some such shit. trying to get in early, get all the dough spent, and get home before the sun even comes up. fighting over the latest and greatest video game or cheap-ass lcd tv. fuck all that!

okay, maybe i’d do that last one – i could use a good lcd tv.

no, my ass will not be venturing out save for maybe a nice mean (and even then not in any area with major retail near by) with the exception of maybe going to hobby lobby for more frame/matte jobs. just got this one done:

went with a butter-yellow matte. looks good…took it into the store and they did it all for around $40 out the door – frame, matte, and labor. not bad. looking next to do one i really don’t think i should take into hobby lobby seeing as how they’re a bit christian and shit:

been needing to get this one looking sharper for-ev-uh…but what color should i go with on the matte? i feel like the same yellow i did on the first one would work, but kinda want to break it up a bit. i know readership will be at an all-time low between now and friday morning but do we have any ideas out there? so far i’m either thinking yellow (to match the moon and a good chunk of the text) or maybe a dove gray to match the stockings…

…thoughts?

(and yes, i know i’m going to hell just for owning it…i’ve made peace with that.)
