da'Shade — Bump The Bullshit

Hey, what's up?

This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.

Wow, where does the time go?

Another year, and I'm about finished my stint here.

I guess I should have something important to say, before turning things back to Kennedy.

Thing is ... I guess I just want the world to make sense again.

Shit, everything over the past 50 years seems to be deteriorating. People got hoodwinked by the bullshit politicians or the oh-we're-so-mellow left-wing assholes that now we're drowning in a sea of multiculturalism.

I always thought people came to America to improve their lives, not to ruin our lives. We welcome everyone, maybe as we should, but don't those folks come here for a change for the better. If you want a better life, then you have to leave your bullshit baggage back from where you came. We don't want to become India, Syria, Croatia, or any other country. Hey, this is America. Fit in or fuck off.

Instead, we somehow got tricked into believing that we should make allowances by changing all that we hold holy so that the newcomers won't get upset and stomp around the streets shouting about discrimination.

Here's a tip for all these immigrants — we are a discriminating culture, because we care about our way of life. Don't bring your fucked-up-over-there over here. We don't want it.

I figga we're on some kind of cusp. We either stop the diluting of American culture now, or we'll lose it forever.

If all that sounds racist to ya, then you are part of the problem. I ain't no racist, but I am a patriot. Let's not keep losing the silent war of immigration without a fight.

Bump the bullshit ...

da'Shade — Monsters

Hey, what's up?

This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.

There's monsters in the closet.

And worse, there's monsters on the roadways.

And worse, there's monsters waiting to bait hard-working guys into a fight after dinner.

And worse, there's monsters figuring out how to kill someone.

And worse, there's monsters who feel so self-righteous they think they know what's best for everyone and for everything and anything in their small worlds.

And worse, there's monsters who beat their children.

And worse, there's monsters who sell drugs to twelve-year-old kids.

And worse, there's monsters who neglect their ageing parents and shove them in a home to die.

And worse, there's monsters who enact laws and legislation designed to impoverish the poor and enrich the wealthy.

And worse, there are monsters who find ways to justify war and the killing of millions.

And worst of all, there's monsters who stand and watch the monsters of this world at work and do nothing.

Bump the bullshit ...

da'Shade — My Gal

Hey, what's up?

This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.

So, I've had a bunch of requests for me to tell more about my personal life.

Shit, ain't that much to it.

I live in a big city and just last week moved in with my gal. I got no kids, drive a beat-up Ford, and I have a great job working with teenagers, most of them without any half-decent parents.

I ain't no romantic, like ol' Kennedy, but, yeah, I'm in love with a great gal. Here's the latest photo of us ...

Hey, that's all you're getting, so don't be asking for more. I like my privacy is all, and what the fuck, I don't know you from shit. I figga we all need to mind our own business.

Bump the bullshit ...




Hit that mic and maybe you'll figga out more what I'm about ...

da'Shade — Cell Phone Movies

Hey, what's up?

This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.

I have to admit I love watching music videos on YouTube. Well, I love music period.

And I love watching live concerts. But, holy shit people, stop with the shitty cell phone movies you're making at concerts.

I mean it's all great for you as a souvenir and all, but please, don't bother uploading them to YouTube.

I could care less that you and yer skinny ass were at a concert. And I sure as hell don't want to see the crappy heads of all the people in front of you while some dude is on stage being recorded in the hollow one-dimensional sound quality of yer phone.

Like I said, keep it on yer computer or whatever for yourself. Seriously, no one else wants to see it.

Bump the bullshit ...




Hit that mic and you'll see what I mean ...

da'Shade — Dudes

Hey, what's up?

This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.

The world is full of all kinds of people. Young ones, middle-aged-crazy ones, old ones ... all kinds. Girls and boys, men and women, and fucks that can't figga out what they are. Black ones, brown ones, yellow ones, red ones, and white ones too ... like a fucking box of crayons sometimes.

The thing is we're all dudes. We're all pissing away our time on this spaceship called Earth. Some of youse is doing fine, and some of youse is getting a daily dose of shit.

Don't matter. Don't fucking matter. Ain't no one getting off at the next stop, 'cause, hey, there ain't no next stop.

So, you do what you do. My advice, make the best of it. Choose yer friends wisely. Stay outside the law by walking the straight and narrow. Don't be a boozer, and don't try to fuck everything that moves. Don't try No-Doz or any other kinda drug.

Sure, you'll fuck up sometimes. Sure you'll let your bullshit hang out on the wash line every once and a while. But, overall, try to be kind and polite. Try to be considerate of others, but don't be going overboard. Some fuckers will use you like day-old pizza.

So, yeah, think first ... don't go leaping into a barrel of monkey grease and expect to come out smelling like Dolce and Gabbana. No one matters more than you. No one. Not yer Mom, not yer Dad, not yer partner, not even yer kids. Don't be doing the Jesus thing, for fuck's sake, and sacrificing your own life for the good of others. Nah, grab the bull by the horns and go for the fucking ride of your life.

Bump the bullshit ...
