What Makes Me Happy - Garfield Without Garfield

What makes me happy today is the blog entitled 'Garfield Minus Garfield'. Ever wonder what kind of sad psychotic ramblings Jon Arbuckle would be having in the famous comic strip 'Garfield' if he didn't have a cat? Wonder no further.

I don't blog nearly enough, so I've decided to start posting at least one thing a day that makes me happy. Today, it's the Beastie Boys' 1989 appearance on Soul Train. Ch-check it out.



You know why hip-hop sucks nowadays? Shadow already told us a few years back, but it hasn't changed much. It's the money. That's exactly why. Watching clips like this reminds me of why I love (or used to love) hip-hop so much, and it reminds me of being a little punk-ass kid from the suburbs, walking down the block with Josh Libertor listening to "Straight Outta Compton" and "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" as loud as it would go. Hip-hop isn't about how much you're making, and it's not about wanting to go fuck somebody in a club, either. This clip is what hip-hop is about, goddamnit. Usher, I hope you get syphilis.
