Devo: YHC has been thinking a lot about the events of Charlottesville and about how quick we are to judge others.  Today’s BC had a Metal soundtrack and if you do your research you will find that metal along with most of what you listen to (rap,country, gospel, rock) was judged harshly at one time or another..  YHC offered this verse:

“We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you. Had God willed, He would have made you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to God and He will inform you regarding the things about which you differed.”

God made us all different for a reason.  It is not so we can compete against each other to judge and overpower.  It is so we can compete to do good.  Don’t judge someone who is different from you or has different beliefs, do not compete to be right.  Rather compete to do good and recognize the strength that is diversity.

Oh, and yeah, that is a verse from the Quran.  Remember that thing I said about not judging?

Moleskin:   So let me cut to the chase.  Roscoe merloted.  That is fucking awesome.  That a man would push himself to the point of puking under my leadership is an honor.  Roscoe is one good dude, and straight got at it today.  T claps.  Inspiration to add a little music to the BC came from three sources.  A recent BC at Bedrock by The Colonel, an old backblast called “Death by DJ” from a Tectonic legend I was never lucky enough to meet (Flutter), and FIA (yeah I said it, those women can throw down).  T Claps to 50/50 for making his first Tectonic appearance and all the rest of those bad asses who keep me getting up at 4:20am to do stupid shit that makes me better.
