Character actors rarely succeed the way Daniel Von Bargen has over the last 30 years.

He amassed a formidable resume, having worked in many films and television shows as the angry boss and even on Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle.

He has been battling Diabetes for quite some time, and when he received word they were going to amputate several toes and possibly a foot.

He decided to try and take his own life.

Sadly, the 61-year-old survived a gunshot wound to the head, calling 911 for help. Read the whole story here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/22/daniel-von-bargen-seinfeld-suicide-attempt_n_1294494.html

I will continue saying this until the cows come home. The minute Barack Obama took office, racism skyrocketed. It seemed to polarize our country on a deeper level than just politics. It felt as if the progress of all those years of hard labor by social activist didn't matter.

Racist jokes were on the rise and from every angle. It just became socially acceptable to bring back some very deep rooted hatred for an entire race.

My inbox flooded with emails from friends, family, and co-workers of drawings of the Obama's as monkeys. Or some other extremely offensive reference.

I even visited a local bar, called The Barn, so that should preface this appropriately. This was 2009. I walked into what normally was just a bunch of people my age drinking and having a good time, now became a sea of camo-wearing, mud-loving, pseudo-rednecks who found it fashionable to cling to their new "roots". I wouldn't have cared if I didn't also hear a few snickering jokes, including "I bet he voted for Obama."

I immediately became uncomfortable, seeing as I was outnumbered about 100 to 1. My friends begged me to stay and to not pay it any attention. Easier said that done.

This is when I found safety in a group of people most would believe to be the pinnacle of racism. Bikers.

There was a crew of old bikers by the bar, where I walked over to. I was with a group of friends, including some loose women who were dancing all over me, trying to cheer me up.

One of the guys smiled and said "I like the way you roll." I laughed, and said "I got a lot of issues. This ain't one of them" He laughed and bought me a beer.

We all started talking and laughing. I told them about my step-dad's biker club back in N.Y. around the late 80's. They knew of The Unknowns and The Chingalings.

"Brother, You're one of us. So don't mind those fucking punks," said my new roughneck buddy.

Strange. A big, dark Puerto Rican, at a country themed bar, made friends with a crew of guys who knew exactly what it felt like to be singled out for no reason. Life is strange like that.

How does this all play into the story of 2 teen girls who post a ridiculous video about black people? Simple. I don't think videos like this would be popping up if the racism didn't permeate in the home. People aren't born to hate. They are taught it. Those girls got these impressions from somewhere. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce mommy or daddy walks around the house touting hatred for Obama and blacks in general.

Don't get me wrong. I still think they have every right to say whatever they feel. However, let's not forget these are two dimwitted girls who sit around brushing their hair and breaking boys hearts instead of focusing on school and enjoying. There is a way to articulate your opinion of other cultures.

Look at Daniel Tosh. His show is chock-full-o-racism. His black jokes are borderline offensive. Yet, his comedic approach reminds you he is exercising his right to free speech. His ratings are high because people love to bask in stereotypes and sexual euphemisms if they make you laugh. Change the tone, and it becomes socially unacceptable.

Groundbreaking black comedian, Patrice Oneal, was one of the first to stand up for Don Imus, who was canned after making references about Rutger's University Basketball players. Calling them "nappy headed hoes" when he just couldn't find the words to say they were a rough looking group of women. He did exactly what he was paid to do, which is get people riled up.

Patrice passed away in 2011. We lost a great voice of reason. Now, without further delay, watch the unedited video of these two idiots below. Feel free to leave comments.

_Joelson Abel, Tyjuan English and Deon Glipsy are three examples of why racism persists in America.

These three mental midgets were arrested and charged with a hate crime for beating up a fellow student.

After watching the entire raw video they posted on Facebook, I am left completely baffled as to the reasoning behind the fighting, and the fact that chased him around a busy intersection for 10 minutes, and speak as if our school system has not had one ounce of influence on their vocabulary.

The victim, Jacob Appel, fears retaliation at his school for getting these three idiots in trouble.

The comical part of all this, is one of the three accused posted the video on Facebook. I can't even get into the specifics without mentioning the following observations.

• The overweight bully seen in the video, chasing Jacob around, mentions he can't fight the Autistic teen unless he fights back. Because he's already on probation. Hmm.
  
• Mocha-Cartman tries to dupe another teen into fighting Appel on camera, as if they are jumping him in. Oddly enough, they accused him of being a Crip. As in the gang. Not a cripple. Probably because of his reddish orange shirt. Obviously these kids also don't know their colors. Idiots.
  
• These three should be castrated now. We truly don't need them procreating. We have enough stupid people in this world.
• They were at this school as a last ditch effort before expelling them completely from the district.

Hopefully, Jacob Appel will discover an environment tolerant of his disability. In the meanwhile, his three bullies face some serious charges.

Agrivated assault, Hate crime, Expulsion from Palm Bay School System, and two of them are already in Juvenile Hall. Which means your tax dollars are keeping these geniuses from continuing to waste faculty time on trying to educate them.

By Steve Figueroa

After a exhausting day of writing for two sites, twittering, tracking stats, harassing potential customers, setting up appointments with other clients, and trying not to lose my mind, I realized I was avoiding the fact that it's Valentine's Day.

Can you blame me? It's been awhile since I've had an actual functioning relationship.

I've managed to squeeze in some adorable crushes, great make-out sessions, and the admiration of some amazing women since my last relationship. Many moons ago.

However, every year around this time, I make one of two choices.

    A. Hang out with a bunch of miserable buddies who pretend the single life is just glamorous.
    B. Make an exception to my "no drinking at home rule" and crack open a few Sam Adams collecting dust in
        my refrigerator.

This year, I chose Plan B. No pun intended.

I am not getting any younger. Nor am I in a rush. However, I realized I took a huge gamble in leaving a seemingly stable job to follow my dreams of working for myself and just doing everything I could to make this happen.

Every minute I spend questioning that decision just isn't healthy. Neither is listening to Kings of Leon, Adele, Lady Antebellum, and every shitty sad song that magically appeared on my Pandora, while I was working.

Opening your mind to a new concept of "career" affects everything you do. Including how you view interactions with women.

That chocolate garden gnome, Cee-Lo Green, got it right. That song, "F*ck You" is pretty accurate. Even as an adult. You start to see through people and weed out the sociopaths. The vampires. The ones who thrive on the thought of you and not actually wanting to be with you.

That's when it gets interesting!

Friend-Zone Girls: You know, the ones who butter you up for free drinks, then tell you about the terrible guys they are with and say "you're like a big brother to me!" Just give up my friend. You are never going to win her over. For the most part, the cat is out of the bag on this one. But some people still believe these turd-buckets of friendships will evolve into something more.

They don't. So stop lying to yourself.

Sluts/Manwhores at the Bar: This goes for both men and women. Guys have bar-chicks that will make out with you on a dime if you buy them a few shots. But still run home to the douchebag in the tilted cap, skater tats, who treats them like ass because they are going to fix him someday. Stop dreaming bro. She's made her choice. It isn't you.

Many Ladies adore that guy who's got the mentality of a date-rapist, but looks great in a V-neck shirt. Sure, he's a bad boy, but if you put the moves on him, he'll change just for you. How's that working out for you? Oh, you guys split up? Awww, pobrecita!

Seriously, we all need to wake up. Accept that while many of the most amazing members of the opposite sex are taken, that just means you have to step up your game. You have to work hard to wade through the swamp of losers, has-beens, deadbeats, religious freaks, weirdos, racist, drunks, druggies, and Facebook stalkers to find someone worthy of your love.

At the same time, you also have to be worthy of that person.

You can't just assume that everything about you is acceptable, and the opposite (or same) sex is retarded. Take a long, deep, revealing look at yourself. Find what you know needs to be worked on. Be honest. Be realistic.

• Are you a little chubby? Hit the gym.
• Do you smoke? Check into tobacco alternatives.
• Are you too hipster for your own good? Fix that!
• Are you rocking "mom jeans" and you're only 29? Fix that!

Whatever you can control, and are willing to work on, focus your energy on it. You don't have to be perfect by any means.

Most of the time, those are the things that are holding you back because we distract people with these minor issues. You don't have to be perfect. But show that you give a shit.

Stop living in denial. Stop accepting things, then bitching about them later on facebook statuses. If you set your mind to something, chances are, you are going to achieve it.

The key is to becoming the happiest version of you. The real you. Once you reach that point, people are going to love being a part of your life. You'll attract the right friends, piss off the ones who love drama, and eventually find someone worthy of who you are. The person you have been all along.

Until then, don't be mad that you're alone. Look at this time as training for the big game.

Don't get me wrong. I still think Valentine's Day is the second biggest made-up obligatory holiday, engineered by savvy marketing geniuses. However, I wouldn't mind having a someone to stare at in some last minute, Victoria's Secret outfit that won't last 3 minutes before being ripped off.

_Facebook as made another simpleton into an unemployed member of society.

Paul Withee, A tenured and well-liked Maine football coach, made a huge mistake by accidentally posting a naked picture of himself  intended for his girlfriend, onto Facebook.

The picture post stayed up for 10 long and embarrassing minutes before he figured out how to remove it.

But it was too late. The damage was done. A parent of one of the student athletes, saw the image and reported it.

Many of us know, this is not hard to do if you don't pay attention to that "share" option included on most devices. This is something that can easily happen if you are not a familiar with your phone or Facebook.

The 19 year football coaching veteran admitted "“I’m embarrassed, I’m ashamed, I’m humiliated.”

Sadly, social networking has claimed the careers of many people over the last 10 years. Hopefully someday, people will adapt to the new age of "sharing" and limit their personal and professional interactions.

Florida is known for many things. One of them is our outlandish collection of idiotic criminals. Did you also know we have some of the funniest mugshots in the history of crime?

Check it out:

Not all of Florida's freaks are criminals and baby killers. Courtesy of Hub Studios, Bello Nock is filmed here hanging from a helicopter over onlookers.

No harnesses. No parachute. No green-screen. He's the real deal!

This video had me cringing, expecting him to become a red stain on the ground below.

Bello Nock has a new fan in me. Bookmark http://bellonockcircus.com/ for updated tour dates.

Ladies, listen up.

Legal drug peddlers, Pfizer, are recalling over 1 million Lo/Ovral-28 tablets pills.

If you are taking these pills, contact your pharmacist or doctor.

According to CNN, Pfizer has corrected the issue already and there isn't much to worry about. Obviously that sentiment is not shared amongst patients who use Lo/Ovral-28.

More than likely, there are thousands of women cringing in fear that last night's romp with that fist-pumping douchebag might lead to a mini doucehbag/douchebaggette.

Splitsville, USA - Every year, around Valentine's Day, men around the world will make a decision that will leave them sexually frustrated on February 15.

And probably for the remainder of the month.

That decision, you ask, is a terrible Valentine's Day gift.

It's not our fault. As men, we are not genetically programmed to know exactly what a woman wants. However, there are many resources to make up for this lack of gifting knowledge. Including the internet, other female friends, and did I mention the internet?

I wanted to showcase some of the worst gifts women say annoy the living sh*t out of them. Enjoy the slideshow below. Share your thoughts. Have you received a terrible Valentine's Day Gift? Tell us all about it.
