Top Ten Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympic: #9 The Cuban Black Team

As the Olympics approach, many people have ideas in their minds of certain Olympic teams. For example, the Greeks always give a prideful walk-off into the arena. The Russians are intense and monstrous. The Romanians are starving Gymnasts. The Americans are prideful. The Chinese have no choice to win or they get the belt, but one of the single most entertaining countries in the Olympics to watch is the Cuban Team.

This is the time of the decade when Cuban athletes step away from their Communist Island and pretend to make friends with the world for at least one month.

The Cuban team usually presents hundreds of competitors for the Olympic Games. They are always cheated by the refs, and they are also always black.

What the fuck does that mean?

Yes, the Cuban team is always made of black people, and usually they compete in martial arts where they beat people up.Such as the famous 2008 Incident regarding Angel Matos, a former Olympic Gold Medalist, who decided that he was not only going to beat up his opponent in Taekwondo, but also a referee.

Well, let’s see if that doesn’t get you a lifetime ban Matos.

Anyway, this year’s Olympics should prove to have a very strong presence from the Cuban team…and who knows?

Questions for You:

Did you think I was serious when I said that Cuban athletes are only black?

I mean, come on…that’s a joke.

At least 4% of the team is miscellaneous.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members or stress over where to eat Christmas dinner. Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

"High Tide, Storm Rising" - Skinshape

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic. Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk 05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world. Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
