Hate, hate hate

Okay so I am absolutely certain that each and every hit this site receives is just me making sure my posts are actually up. No big deal, I'm doing this more for my own personal entertainment than anything else. The "contest" remains open until I get a single entry. I hate people so much. 

Anyways... I'm not into hating people, though, for things they can't help (such as race), as the first few hundred years worth of American settlers are now infamous for. But you know what? One of the very few positive side effects of slavery was the development of an intensely real musical culture. Artists like Leadbelly brought their traditional songs into popular culture, and obviously nobody can fuck with the fact that they're some of the most important seminal components of modern music. I used to sing this song as a kid, having no idea what it meant.

I fucking love this song, and frankly cannot get it out of my head right now.


I personally challenge your toes not to tap.
