Matt Groening’s initial plan for the Simpsons. Before he decided he didn’t want to give up the rights to his characters (Jeff and Akbar would’ve been a hit) and drew this on a yellow notepad in the lobby before his meeting…
…and subsequently influenced a nation.
A few months ago I was lucky enough to see Mike Tyson on the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica, CA. Was he coming from Foot Locker with some new work out gear? No. Was he coming from GNC with a supplement that would make him even more of an intimidating presence? No. He was coming from Pinkberry with a frozen yogurt that appeared to be quite yummy for lack of a better word. And the best part is…all anyone could say was, “How’s it going, Champ?”
And that in a nutshell sums up how seriously badass Mike Tyson is.
This documentary recieved a standing ovation at Sundance and is currently on sale for about $20-$30. Enjoy:

Lesson of the day: My style is impetuous. My D is impregnable.
In all seriousness I had all intentions of featuring someone with serious social influence this friday but, if you watch my UStream last night then you know what happened. I was doing the “I love the 90s” episode of throwback thursday and I played the video below to close the show. I then realized I would probably follow @MissMya anywhere. And so would you…

Lesson of the day: “Have an affair, act like an adult for once.”
So apparently @Wyclef was in the studio this weekend laying down some new tracks and rumor has it that he was lending his fined tuned ear to @Moo88 of French Exit. Sadly enough I was only given one full track from the session and to get that I had to promise I wouldn’t leak it. So…I’m leaking a snippet…sue me. Seriously though, don’t. This is dedicated to all my @RosaAcosta’s of the world:
Feature Presentation – Moruf ft. Evin Bangs

Lesson of the day: French Exit is one of the more interesting hush projects I’ve seen in a while.
Stacey Dash. Need I say more. Watch Clueless or the All Falls Down video or hey just type her name in google image search and fall in love all over again. Hey Complex, Mila Jovovich is cool but, this woman deserves Wifey Hall of Fame status. Follow her @REALStaceyDash
Lesson of the day: If you want to know what I said you’ll have to follow me too @iwyk
If you hadn’t heard already, Mr. Brown went to court today for execution a hearing of sorts and Rihanna’s lawyer showed to request (on Rihanna’s behalf of course) that the restraining order be dropped to less strict “Level 1″ order of protection. For those of you not as well versed with restraining orders as I am, that means that there will be no distance restriction between the two and that Rihanna can pretty much play the “I’m not touching you, but my hand is dangerously close to your face game.” Everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before they get back together and then implode again. They are the bizarro version of Jay and Bey in my book. Or the young version of Mike and Robin depending on how you look at it. Who knows, this could be them in a few short years:

Lesson of the day: Those who don’t learn from the past…
This isn’t super funny, but it’s funny for Tiffani Thiessen. Maybe she’ll show up for Jimmy Fallon’s cast reunion anyway.
Lesson of the day: The saved by the bell joke at the end was pretty clever.
This is crazy. And it’s even crazier that we haven’t seen it until now.
Lesson of the day: Damn.
I was speechless when I watched this yesterday.

Lesson of the day: When the ask why? why? Tell them that it’s human nature.
