In Which The Mademoiselle Rages About the “Justice” System

You know, I fully intend on going to law school. I was initially going to go into Criminal Defense law, because it’s one of those dreams of a young fledgling college student to make the world into sunshine and rainbows and navigate the muck and mire that is Public Defenders and underpaid shit like that. Then I thought about family law, and that’s the idea that I’ve been married to since.

But this? Shit like this? It makes me really have to reconsider my change sometimes.

This is Tyell Morton. Say Hi. Introduce yourself to this kid. He’s an awesome kid, well-behaved, has a great sense of humor, just like the bulk of high school students. He’s never been in trouble and it began to all pay off this year, as he was going to walk at his own graduation and enjoy his senior year.

Hilariously, his senior prank consisted of taking a blow-up doll – yes, a blow-up doll – and placing it in the girl’s bathroom. Like James Bond, he walks about stealthily with the package, latex gloves and hoodie, evading security and, like a fucking ninja, manages to find his destination where he can put his dastardly contraband! Oh, imagine the anguish of some poor young pubescent female! OH WHAT A WORLD!

Anyway, that’s not the punchline. The punchline is this shithole of a town sees fit to charge Tyell with Felony Criminal Mischief, which, under Indiana Law, carries a penalty of a minimum of TWO YEARS IN THE SLAMMER and a MAXIMUM OF EIGHT.

You hear that? That’s the sound of my motherfucking head exploding.

A Thank You Letter ….to all my Ex’s

Dear Ex,

Originally, this letter started out sarcastically, and mockingly, but putting that aside, this letter isn’t anything like that, but You can take it as You wish.
This is a letter to You, regardless of where you are, what you’re doing, and at this rate, if you even see it.
I just want to let every one of you know, Thank you.
Thank you for everything You’ve done, regardless of the situation and the things that were going on. All Your actions have led to this very moment, sort of, the rest of it was on my own behalf. If You hadn’t been in my life, I wouldn’t know I could eventually do the things I can do today. The trials, victories and losses that You were apart of, have aided in the shaping of me and everything I do and have become.
I’m a real hard ass, but if it weren’t for You, I wouldn’t know how to be tough. Thanks to You, I know where to set my bounds, goals, and everything else.
But before you let this go to Your head and ego here, let me trim it down to size. You all had to be jack asses in what you did. Not everything You did was welcomed, or helpful, this is where part of being that hard ass comes in handy. Still I have to thank you, I wouldn’t know now if I hadn’t been through it before.
Really, in the end, I do appreciate it, because we all need those things in our lives to help define who we become. Thankfully I had Your help, so when the next situation arises, I know I will over come that too.

Sincerely,
Your Ex

I want to leave the human race.

oh, so you was born here son?

I am so angry about the shit going on today, I had to write about it.

Today, President BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA released his long form birth certificate. This was an attempt to silence the ongoing claim by ‘Birthers‘ that he was not born in this country and therefore is not legitimatized for the office of the Presidency. While this nonsense has been going on since Obama first ran for office, the issue has seen a resurgence in the media as of late thanks to Donald Trump.

I want to list the United States Presidents in the past who have done this:

Give it a try folks, and enjoy!

Regular Chicks

null

One thing I really don’t care much for is absurd generalizations.

Not too long ago, I happened upon a scathing blog post where a young woman ranted mercilessly about her ex-boyfriend’s newest choice in a partner. Apparently, her ex’s new main squeeze was what this blogger accused as being “regular”.

I was instantly confused by this. What did she mean by ‘regular’? ‘Regular’ is one of those words your English teachers in school tell you to avoid because of its vagueness, sort of like ‘stuff’ and ‘thing’. The discovery that her ex – who she described as with adjectives like ‘funny’, ‘smart’, ‘well-read’, ‘cultured’, ect– was dating someone who was regular was obviously quite astonishing and nearly devastating to her, and she used the situation to rip into how awful ‘regular’ chicks are compared to what she claims are “women with personality”. This particularly Mean Girls-esque blog culminated in her pondering: why would anyone want to date a Regular Chick?

In Which the Mademoiselle Rages About Music.

Editor’s note: This is the first post by guest blogger Miss Rage.

Hey folks. Looks like I get to introduce myself, under interesting circumstances. I’m Miss Rage, simply known as A. (though Lush knows my real name, and I will not disclose it to any of you)

Just know that when I write entries, it will more than likely be me bitching about something in nuclear warhead-style fashion.

Tonight, it’s music.

So I’m sitting in a chatroom talking to Lush, and she shares a link with me about the demise of Bone Thugs and Harmony. “Who fucking cares,” you may ask. “The general public has already written them off as a done deal.”

No, asshole, they’re not a done fucking deal. They clearly weren’t dead yet – they just didn’t come out with things every year like most non-talented acts do.

While this does not usher in the end of an era (that date was on August 25th, 2001 on a little island in the Bahamas), it does, however, solidify the obvious – mainstream rap is fantastically, utterly, irredeemably dead. And I’m so calling it. Again, some of you may be like, “How dare this bitch try to claim something dead when it isn’t!” While mainstream rap may be financially stable (not flourishing, though stable enough), the cesspool coming out of there is enough to make a sewer smell like Bath and Body Works, and is enough to make a shithouse rat look like a Yorkshire Terrier. Immortal Technique (a truly awesome UNDERGROUND  group) stated it best -

so if your message ain’t shit, fuck the records you sold
cuz if you go platinum, it’s got nothing to do with luck
it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck

For Those Of Us Who Don’t Know Exactly WTF We’re Doing!

Editor’s note: Our first guest blogger, Elexeia

null

Who among us know, exactly what we want to do with our lives, and career?

A few of you do, good for you!

Don’t worry for the rest of you, I’m sure there is a large number of us, who still aren’t sure, what the fuck we want to do job wise, or what we want to do with the rest of our lives.

I’m one of you. I’m approaching 28 years of age this year, and I still don’t know what I want to do for a living. I’m not going to use my ADHD as an excuse to- Okay, yes I am. I can’t think past a couple months at this rate, and setting long term goals are agonizingly painful, but that doesn’t me I don’t see my self enjoying things later in life, even career wise.

7 Year old boy HANDCUFFED

 Admittedly, I do not enjoy watching the news. I either wind up crying or cussing and neither is fun on a daily basis.

This story in particular has touched the Stoner’s heart and must be shared with the world.

Yes, children can be a handful. But, do they really require handcuffs?

On  April 13, 2011 a 7 year old boy was handcuffed and taken to the hospital. A statement was released by the school, and in sum, they place full blame on the little boy. Cops say they were “protecting the boy and others after his emotional outburst.”

Little Joseph, 7, is a special education student at PS 153 in Maspeth, Queens. His mother, Jessica Anderson issued the following statement;

“I was crying. I broke down,” she said. “They know that my son is special ed. It’s like they’re trying to get rid of him, and it worked because I’m not sending him back there.”

Joseph, 7, a special education student at a Manhattan School, was handcuffed and taken away from school in an ambulance despite the fact that his Mother, Jessica Anderson, was on her way to pick him up.

An NYPD officer felt the handcuffs were neccessary, his rep issued the following statement;

“He was a danger to himself and others in the classroom,” a spokesman said. “He started spitting and cursing at the officers. The handcuffs were used to restrain the child because of his behavior. He was a danger to himself.”

So it’s 4/20. When are we going to legalize the shit?

As Stoner pointed out rather hilariously in an earlier post, today is 4/20. Budsmokers around the world are rejoicing with some form of marijuana intake (we all know this from seeing our Facebook feeds today). And this year’s 4/20 comes on the heels of a report that support for the legalization of marijuana has grown exponentially. My question is, what’s taking so long?

Listen, it’s pretty clear that a lot of people smoke pot, or use the drug in some fashion. At least 42% of Americans have smoked weed in their lifetimes, and that’s not including the ones who are lying about it. Even non-stoners all know someone who smokes weed (again, refer to your Facebook feeds for proof). One would be hard pressed to find a Baby Boomer who won’t admit to toking up during the 1960s (we can’t give acid ALL the credit for those psychedelic visuals). Our entertainment industries certainly reflect this love of pot (after all, American Beauty wouldn’t have BEEN American Beauty without Kevin Spacey smoking a joint while lifting weights). Even American politicians have warmed up to the idea about being honest about their pot history (Clinton may not have inhaled, but we’ve got visual proof of Obama’s forays with grass).

Yes, that’s a joint in your President’s mouth. And Obama was far more honest about inhaling…. he inhaled “frequently… because that was the point.” His words.

Edge retires from the ring

Adam Copeland AKA Edge has retired from in-ring wrestling for the WWE. As a longtime fan of his, I felt a strong urge  to post about it here on stonerandlush.com. Edge has performed all over the world for 13 years. He has entertained us all in the ring and outside of it. He put his body through hell just to give us fans a good show. As a fan who has watched this man compete in person, let me just state that these men give us 150% in that ring. There is no bigger insult than to hear a person sa, “Oh, wrestling is fake.” The pain these men and women go through is not fake. Adam Copeland’s surgeries are not fake. And the fact that one more match could result in paralysis or death is definitely not fake.

The very first time I saw Edge was on Thursday night Smackdown, wearing his signature vinyl ankle length coat, his long blonde hair falling over his shoulders, raybans framing that chiseled jaw-line.

See what I mean?? YUM
