Super Bowl Advertising
I am surprised that we didn't see the following announcement during the blackout during Sunday's Super Bowl.
"This power outage is brought you by Buffalo Wild Wings."
Muse
I've never felt so used. All I do is write and paint and say beautiful things about you
and what do you do besides break my heart? Sure you inspire me but at what cost?
I’ll never own you but I feel like you belong to me.
I’ve called you home for far too long
far longer than these transplanted seeds.
They don't have any roots here they haven't grown any trees.
Yea, they sing you songs but they do you wrong, too.
It’s hard having to share you with those who have yet to shed their leaves.
When they come for a visit and they don't stay I'm the one that sweeps your streets the next day
and how do you repay me?
With hurricanes, and apathy and summers that last too long and disregard but I still hang you on my living room walls
and invite everyone I know over to see that you're the one who inspires me even if you don't care at all.
Where The Water Flows
See the river. Need the river. River wild. Tame the river. Want a city. Build a city. Flood the city. Blame the river. Build a wall. Hold it back. Keep it there. Dig it deep. Run a pipe. Get a drink. Water plants. River sleep. Board a ship. Travel north. Economics. Get in line. Hit a bridge. Sink the ship. Oil spill. Pay a fine. Snow melts. Up north. All that water. Coming down. High tide. Water rise. River crests. Leaving town. Higher walls. Deeper dredge. Levee breach. People drown. River mad. Eating land. Cypress trees. Can’t be found. Water flows. Downhill. Need a drink. Shit and piss. Flush the pot. To the lake. Don’t forget. Feed the fish. Oil and grease. Antifreeze. Down the drain. They don’t mind. Grab a pole. Cast it out. Catch a bite. Dinner time. Oil and grease. Fry it up. Kids say. It tastes funny. Wife sick. Healthcare. Plan canceled. No money. Take the kids. To the lake. Find a beach. Dive in. Fish stink. Sand sticky. Signs say. Don't swim. News says. Boil your water. After every time. It rains. House floods. Water dries. Do this all. Over again. River laughs. Lake cries. Travel West. Dry land. Build a house. In the hills. Fill your pool. Water plants. Never flood. Never rain. All the water. Drying up. River laughs. Lake too. Need a drink. Out of luck.
THE WATER IS RISING
The winds are picking up and people picking their things.... Here we go again but those who stay are not ready to go wherever her winds blow them I know you cant say nobody told them but you can say nobody showed them the way
It figures.... the rich in this city don’t give a damn about thousands of poor niggas
The winds are picking up but for most there's nowhere to go just get on their knees and hope they don't wind up wherever the winds blow
Left deserted without help with the only comforting words of "you have been warned" but the poor in this city are strong we should make it out of whoever decides to weather the storm
we should be safe now we can see the sky now we can go outside now that the winds have died down... but the waters are rising
and the streets begin to overflow those who find a way out still have nowhere to go
There is a thin line between determination and desperation in times of despair it’s almost as if the waters are purging us but who is to decide whose soul will be spared?
I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO SAVE MY PEOPLE I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED MY PART! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED WHEN GOD TOLD ME TO BUILD THAT ARC but i didn't now i know for certain its hopeless I watch my people flee in a mass exodus with no sign of Moses WHO WILL SPLIT THE SEA? WHO WILL DECIDE WHO WILL BE CHOSEN? don't leave it up to me my words are mere echoes LET MY PEOPLE GO! but nobody is listening
It figures the rich in this city don't give a dam ABOUT THOUSANDS OF SCREAMING NIGGAS
THE WATERS ARE RISING and so are the number of victims we cant call on God because he is the one who did this along with tampered-with levee systems GRANDMA SAY GOT DON’T GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN TAKE AND DADDY SAY GOD DON’T MAKE NO MISTAKES but i know government officials do and i know what happens when THOUSANDS OF SCREAMING NIGGAS ARENT LISTENED TO
What a sight for sore eyes to witness such a painful changing of the seasons the magic curtain has been pulled away now that the waters are receding
and the crowd gasps as they watch the stranded struggle for purpose how government officials really feel about the black social class has finally surfaced
It figures the rich in this city don't give a damn about thousands of dead niggas
Refugees in the same country we pay taxes to live in
THE WATERS ARE RECEDING the cleansing is fleeting the christening is one genuflection away from being completed.
Do you smell that? smells like thousands of dead niggas a city flooded by the same rivers that were used to carry slave ships and forced to swallow dead niggas
You should have know that overboard thrown slaves would not be digested well now the old man river has taken his revenge and he’s making sure you hear the story he has to tell
The slaves kept turning and turning under the sea due to their restless souls until they picked up enough winds to blow them back on the ones who stole them is how the story was told
The winds that blew off the coast of Africa across the Atlantic followed that same middle passage to remind these southern states of their damage
They blew apart those same ports that were used to auction off families on and blew down those same trees that were used to hang niggas on
And as the waters recede back into the river we see government officials still don't give a damn about thousands of dead niggas.

Just goes to show New Orleans has always had lax alcohol laws.
Prohibition agent Izzy Einstein bragged that he could find liquor in any city in under 30 minutes. In Chicago it took him 21 min. In Atlanta 17, and Pittsburgh just 11. But New Orleans set the record: 35 seconds. Einstein asked his taxi driver where to get a drink, and the driver handed him one.

We found SO MANY gluten free options on our trip to New Orleans! There were a ton of options (which seems so rare) and we were able to try so many new things, and I never got sick!
Tried arepas at a place called Maïs Arepas for the first time and they were AMAZING! Mine had beef, a plantain, and mozzarella in it, with plantain chips and rosado sauce to dip them in!
Found a place called The Daily Beet with absolutely amazing açaí bowls, and it was so yummy! I ended up buying a bag of their granola to take home with me! Their oats were certified gluten free :)
Another place, Bons New Orleans Street Food, had gluten free beignets (or calas) that were to die for. They were so good. I also got some Mexican street corn with pork and it was delicious!
The last place we stopped on the way home was a cute little cafe called Bearcat that had gluten free pancakes!
