That just happened!

Last night around 10 pm EST the ticker on the GG Blog ticked 2 Million hits.  I sat there, watching the ticker for a few hours, like it was New Years Eve in June, or some shit. It was a proud moment to watch it roll over. I said roll over.

People ask me how I got started and became a member of the Crew. It's a funny story actually.  Someone I know (who actually can't stand me) posted something from ITMOAGG Fan Page and I slapped my desk in my office from laughing so hard. I liked the page and kept laughing every day. The random stories, funny pictures and the fact that The GG interacted with his fans made me think this guy was not only funny, but real as fuck.

A few weeks later I was on Fakebook and saw that one of my photographer friends posted a picture from an engagement photo shoot she had done over the weekend. The happy couple was standing in an alley in my hometown and something looked verrrrrrrrrry familiar about that alley. And then it hit me. That was the alley that many of us have may or may not have had a sexual interlude in. I sent a copy of the picture to J-Wunder titled "one girl's engagement photo is another girl's sex alley" and from there the rest is history.

As I sit in my kitchen, drinking my coffee and getting ready to go slay the dragons at work, I can't believe how lucky I am to have a friend, mentor and collaborator like J-Wunder. His ability to bring the funny only makes me, and the crew as a whole, funnier. I can't even talk about The Ringer or Anonynmous, because those fuckers threatened to kick my ass if I ever told their secrets. As for L-Train, that is my Roll Dog. I almost killed her when she was visiting me and we haven't told the story yet because she is still in therapy over it. Bitch was warned.

Most of all, I thank everyone who takes a few minutes, hours or what the fucker ever out of their day to read what we have to write and laugh at the shit that gives us the giggles. Even those that don't agree with or like what we have to say, keep reading and keep feeding us. Sometimes the most fucktarded comments are the ones that make us think of funnier shit to write about.

I am excited to see what the future has to bring, if L-Train is going to let me hit it from the back and most importantly, if J-Wunder is going to get drunk and show us his Guamaconda one night. Fingers crossed!

Time to go make the doughnuts!

2 MILLION UP IN THIS BITCH!!!



If there is one thing that I try to do and do well, it's entertain. I'm not a writer. I'm not even an English fucking major. I'm just a guy who got through life by not taking it so seriously. Because during the time I had a stick rammed up my candy ass, life fucking sucked. I was uptight. Angry. Hated the world. I felt like I hated everything...and everybody. Then one day, I got out of the shower and took a good look at myself in the mirror and realized, I needed to lighten the fuck up. For real. Live life by not giving two shits in the world and just be. Be the guy to entertain folks. Be the guy who doesn't worry about what others fucking think. Be the guy who, at the end of the day, will not lose any sleep over monkey mouth bitch shit because it ain't fucking worth the stress and drama. Real talk.

Then one day, a blog was born. And you know what? Haterade was being served . BIG TIME. I was told my blog was shit. It was pointless. Worthless. Not funny. Every possible negative thing you could think of, that's what I was told. But instead of beating a mother fucker into the ground and feeding them Doritos out of my butt cheeks, I took all that negativity and used it as motivation.

November 2010 results were in, and the stats read: 4,637 hits or some shit like that.

Not too shabby for a mother fucker with an idea to do something some loved and others despised. With that love and hate though, brewed ideas that I knew people weren't expecting - a blog that was different. Not just some fucking picture book of shit 90% of society steals off the internet. Not just some funny video that 65% of people post that is a day late and a dollar fucking short. Not text messages that we already get from a site that probably has one of the highest volumes of traffic of all the interwebs. Hell fucking no. Why be one dimensional? One dimensional has already been done. It has already succeeded. Only a dumb fuck would copy what another site does to a tee and try to find the same results. So why not be a one stop shop with a bunch of shit for a mother fucker to drop in and laugh if they have 10 minutes in their fucked up, hard working day, to spare? That's where it got even better...

From advice columns to random fucked up stories to videos, pics, text messages and hilarious Facebook posts, I made sure I had a site that you could find more shit than a goddamn amusement park.  When that happened, word spread quick. 4K hits increased to 8K, then to 10K, then to 20K. Whatever I brought, I made sure it was good enough for each person to come back for more. And they did...100 times over.

It got to the point where emails were a daily fucking occurrence and "Inside the Mind of a Ghetto Genius" was getting mad fucking love. We posted shit, fans laughed and everything was coming full fucking circle. Fast forward to June 11th, 2012:

Stat line: 2,000,000+ hits

If you were to ask me if the blog I started less than two years ago would ever see 2+ million hits in its existence...I probably would have punched you in your goddamn face then bought you a beer as I proceeded to call you a dumb fuck. That number is fucking ridiculous. Especially since this blog is different and not one dimensional like others I've mentioned. A chance was taken, success was being made.

I got to this point not only from an idea I had for people who needed a fucking laugh, but because of ALL the supporters, Facebook fans and contributors who have kept it real and were able to LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP. However, even though it's no secret this blog is an ENTERTAINMENT BLOG,  there are still some sensitive ass bitches who can't tell the difference between entertainment and some "ABC After School Special" shit. For that, I really feel sorry for you fucks. No one put a fucking gun to your head and told you to read any of this. Hell, no one even told you to fucking like it. But you know what? You always come back for more. If not to secretly love the page, then to critique it. The greatest part? You're really not gonna bother myself and The CREW to take you seriously because again, this is an ENTERTAINMENT BLOG. Bitchassness need not apply. But I digress...

If it wasn't for the supporters, fan-faithful and my CREW, this blog wouldn't be where it is today. We're about to lay some shit down and just get better. Because we have mother fuckers out there who "get it" and appreciate the humor and shit that makes a mother fuckers mood 1,000 times better then how it started. For that, I'm thankful and humble to get all the support from each fan and crazy ass follower.

Truth is, I may not be shit and that's ok with me. However, numbers tell the story. Like they say, "Proof is in the fucking pudding, right?"

I got nothing more to say than THANK YOU and here's to another 2 million and another 5 million after that. Shit only gets better folks. That I can fucking promise you. As long as my contributors and I stay "Ride or Die", you fans are gonna have a lot of shit to read and talk about. My word in bond.

True story.

Much love and many fucking thanks!

J-Wunder
