Not as in “on occasion” but for them — occasions. Apparently, I didn’t invent it. I’ve been doing “occasional poetry” all along and had no idea there was a literary term for it. And, as one will note in the linked-to article above concerning the presidential poem delivered at this year’s inauguration, it suffers the […]
Category: weekly news roundup
Back Off Holiday
Busy weekend. Getting sort of late. Just decided to do an unadvisable three minute freestyle. If it sounds like nonsense, that’s a direct reflection on your upbringing and education not my ability. Because, trust me, in the words of Alexander Graham Bell, “this will be one of the most important freestyles you’ve heard in the […]
Ten Hours Too Far
DISCLAIMER: All of the following should be filed under the designation: “Anglo-Saxon People Problems.” Last week was some sort of live action death by chocolate. Every possible good thing in my life conspiring to murder me. You know that scene in Jim Carrey’s The Grinch Who Stole Christmas where he’s subjected to an involuntary “pudding […]
Press Junket Series No. 7
Work has been busy. Sorry it’s been slow. Haven’t done a weekly round up in a minute. So, I thought I would. The week that was. Performed by ipoet. Music produced by pumpkinFoot. Today’s song blog here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/aadbc-twtw-1-28-12.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”TWTW 1-29-12“]
Press Junket Series No. 6
The week that was. Stories include the bizzaro diaper-gate incident with TSA and an elderly passenger; Georgia’s contested immigration bill; the increasingly crowded Republican Presidential Nominee Candidate pool; the United States Supreme Court’s recent decision concerning video games and free speech; President Obama’s draw down plan for Afghanistan; the untimely death of sports legend Lorenzo […]
Press Junket Series No. 5
Haven’t done one in a while. Thought I’d roundup the news. Stories include Easter in China; Judge Nelson’s NFL lockout decision and tonight’s Draft; NBA playoffs (late breaking Spur’s result); Mel Kiper’s hair; Obama’s long-form birth certificate and dubious citizenship; storms in the South; continued unrest in Syria, Yemen, and Libya; and the Royal Wedding. […]
Guest Poet: Keep It Movin’
Sorry to all. I was on the road and I got trapped in a spot without WiFi to get this done. My man Wonder Brown pinch hit again today and had me the song last night, late, but I couldn’t get it posted. Serious logistical snafu. But, technically it’s still Thursday, so we’re all still […]
A “Pink Thursday” Press Junket Special
Happy Pink Thursday! The Week That Was. It’s come to be true that the Thursday after Cyber Monday after Black Friday is the most heavily trafficked rap blogging day of the year. People are on the prowl for great deals on news wrapped up in rap this day every December. Discounts as deep as 3-4% […]
The Press Junket Series No. 4
The Week That Was. While typically the opposite is at risk, listening to this week’s song will actually make you visibly dumber. Do not listen while operating heavy machinery or even a digital wristwatch. The words in the song unfortunately reflect precisely on the views of this site, as juvenile as they may be. Performed […]
The Press Junket Series No. 3
Somber week, both personally and in the news. Sometimes we’re just trying to get through it. Stories include fiscal commission’s debt recommendations, cholera outbreak in Haiti, Elizabeth Smart testimony, and Conan’s return. Tweet and retweet this junk, if you get a second. There are still people in this world without rap news. Performed by ipoet. […]
