Rob Thomas and wife: serious about their fucking
In a world where people are getting married later, divorcing more and having less kids than ever, I find people often sound almost wishy-washy or apologetic when announcing their desire to have kids. But not Rob Thomas, who comes real with it (emphasis added by me):
Q: “Do You Have A Daughter?”
A: “No, I have a son who lives with his mom in Boston. The thing is that my wife and I really want a daughter. Like, we’ve been fucking, but now we’re actually trying to do something with it.”
- Interview with Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20
I’m sorry, but that’s just a million times more gangsta than “We’re trying to get pregnant.” Love it. Hands down the most candid and best interview answer ever. If I had my way, everyone would announce trying to have kids in this manner.
In fact, I think people should even use this for when they slip up and get pregnant accidentally: “Yeah, we’ve been fucking for a while, you know, and we thought why not, you know, actually try to do something with this whole “fucking” thing? You feel me?” Sounds 1000% better than “Uhhh, we had a happy little accident.” It’s almost like a manifesto or a call to arms. It’s also a great way to piss off your single friends without children: “Why don’t you, I don’t know, do something with your fucking already?”
Apparently Thomas smokes a hell of a lot of weed (he’s open about it in the interview), and it shows in that disgustingly awesome answer. Respect, Rob Thomas. Respect.
P.S. Sorry white people, I just don't get the obsession with this flick.

Carlos Santana said he understood everything he every needed to know about Rob Thomas when he found out he was married to a Latin woman. Hence, the memorable lyric, “I could change my life to better suit your mood.”
Michelle Ann’s last blog post..Morta what???
Ha, that is too funny. Had no idea.
word. i would go so far as to define “gangsta” as the extent to which one genuinely and naturally exercises what lies within oneself in the external world.
i think about this stuff alot which is why i love your blog.
Honesty is very gangsta. and i think this is so because it is the full participation of who you were created to be. that’s why it feels good and why it seems so refreshing. if you can think about how tragic it is to realize how little of our lives we spend doing or saying what we truly want or feel.
I would define happiness as the extent to which one experiences their true self on a moment to moment basis. but how many of us are doing that? and for what? so that guy X doesn’t think we’re a prick?
for the hope of positive opinion from girl y or boss Z?
it’s exhausting. none of these people mean anything to us. why should they?
i used to have a theory…not every body that walked the earth carried within it a soul. I defined soul at the time as a “genuine spirit” that could be connected with or to. I could sit in a starbucks amongst 20 people but only feel the presence of a handful of other spirits. The proof of a life beyond simple motion.
You ever talk to someone and get the feeling that there is no depth. At the risk of sounding “too cool for the room” how can some people not be into music? or into sports? how can some people not genuinely feel for the plight of the american indian? now none of these is in itself a proof of life. everyone is different. the point is that i didn’t believe a person had a soul until i had proof of it.
and to tie this back into the discussion i don’t think we should care about what another thinks unless they’ve given us proof of life.
why should i care if a dog likes what i’m wearing. why should i care is a tollbooth finds me funny?
I value my brother’s opinions of me because i value his opinions period. and not because i agree with him, but because i know he has a soul. i know there is a genuine individual in him. I know he’s one of “god’s creations.”
I feel like this is what honesty and “honest moments” are about. that true connection of “god creations.”
the truly interesting fact comes out of the idea that DIShonesty, though antithetical to true creation might serve a more powerful evolutionary or systemic purpose. Why else would we see so little of it in the world.

Smash’s last blog post..SWEET BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!
Let me agree w/ both you and Ruff. I used to dance around things, but lately I realized there is absolutely nothing better than being 100% honest about what you want or what you mean. It works absolute wonders and gains you infinite respect. Smash is right, it’s absolute gangsta.
Desiree’s last blog post..Wow.
Smash - That comment totally made me feel high as hell…and I mean that in the best possible sense. Good stuff.
Desiree - That’s especially true in a place like NY, where I swear passive aggression is accepted, no encourage, on unheard of levels.
Referring to fucking as a ‘call to arms’ kind of just made my day. I’m using that on my man later.
ha! i’ll take it as such. and you’re right. This city breeds passive aggressiveness. Ever try to see if you can go a whole day without the use of sarcasm? it’s damn near impossible. it’s as much a part of our makeup as urbanites as…i dunno…something that’s really a part of our makeup as urbanites.
Smash’s last blog post..The Soulless
Yeah, Juno was aiiiight.
Brownngirl’s last blog post..My Grandma.
Bangs and Bun - that’s the spirit!
Smash - I’ve been trying to rein in the sarcasm, especially with strangers. Risk of misinterpretation is too high, the rewards are too low. Plus, from seeing it in other people, I’ve grown to realize how ugly it actualy is.
Brownngirl - White folk act like Juno cures cancer or something.
