To quote my fellow fierce black blogger Fresh of Crunk & Disorderly "Please do not leave any big ass pictures/embedded video in the comments section. I know I probably sound like a major bitch right now, I just don't want it looking like Fred G. Sanford's living room up in here."So sorry, y'all. I am not a fan of the ginormous blinking signs, and I'm going to delete some of my larger comments. I do love you guys, so please hit me up with an e mail or regular comment to show love. Thank you so much for understanding! Mwah!
