On: Having kids, responsibilities & being of a certain age being used as anti-qualifiers of being 'cool', interested or knowledgeable of things..

Shits tired...Most of those folks you are judging have known and forgotten more about that 'thing' (or several things) you are so passionate about and probably could help your sorry ass appreciate it more.

Half of the mofos that are idolized are of the very 'ages' that is being clowned or were ushered into the 'game' by someone of those ages and are having their career guided by them. For every Drake or Wiz, there was a Phonte (30 plus) or a Snoop (30 plus) that inspired and gave a model that THEY DO INCORPORATE into their current act. For every J.Cole, there is a Nas or Jay that they TRY THEIR HARDEST TO OPENLY be like. Even the lil 'hate' thing Trey has for Kellz is a product of Trey GROWING UP AND IDOLIZING him. (Tell me that ninja don't sound like Kellz 85% of the time...Minus the great vocals)

Half of you 'concert goers' who frown up your noses when you see folks like me in the crowds at ANY concert need to get this shit straight once and for all. If it wasn't for folks LIKE ME supporting and going to concerts long ago, this shit wouldn't be here. Period. It isn't JUST ME but those who are like me. So simmer down with the looks, the judgments and shit. I GREW UP ON THIS SHIT. Period. Not gonna leave it alone any time soon. Deal with it. Through having kids, getting gigs and all of that. It is actually probably MORE my music than yours but I WONT LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT as long as you are respectful. @ those of you whining about people leaving 'your music' alone. Ninja please. I have put in FAR MORE TIME AND MONEY than you EVER WILL EVEN IF I NEVER LEGALLY BUY ANOTHER ALBUM EVER AGAIN. So miss me with that shit fam....

Don't get me started on this computer shit.....I am willing to bet you that while you probably can work a program or 'design a website', unless you went to school for it, very few of you can WRITE A PROGRAM. Not an app. A FULL FUNCTIONAL PROGRAM. From the ground up. In computer speak. Without using a YouTube or using Google....You see where I am going with this? Oh....okay. So even saying 'this computer Internet' thing is 'ours' is bullshit to someone in my age group. Take that shit up with your Great Grandmother (I had to say great 'cause nowadays your Grandmother might be my age. That's one thing ya'll CAN HAVE. That's all you..)

Same way you don't want to be AUTOMATICALLY judged once someone finds out you can't legally rent a luxury car is probably the same way you should be treating other folks. At least treat it on a case to case basis people.

Are there things that SOLELY belong to you as a generation? Sure there are and you can have them. Not here to take them. Just stop running around like you are reinventing the wheel and shit though....

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
