(Picture) *salute* to this person who is CLEARLY at work passing time on the blog..
I actually do this for folks just like you...among other things. Great way to pass time. @ looking at past events. Enjoy your stay. Don't be a stranger now..ya hear?
Hello...If you are HERE because you got the link from the OG Nitty show...
A few things:
1. FIRST OFF...Thank you OG Nitty. 'Preciate the look. Period. Here is the link to his show...
2. This is my blog. So that means I put what I want. As opinionated as I am, I am just as FUN LOVING. The topics vary. Matter of fact, there is a nice little write up here that sums up what I am trying to say. So let me just GET TO THAT RIGHT NOW...
I think this covers the whole 'ITS JUST A BUNCH OF WOMEN HERE..I AM SO DISGUSTED WHEN HE GETS SERIOUS/I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY ON THE REAL STUFF BECAUSE OF THE PICTURES/POPULAR POSTS BULLSHIT....
3. Thank you for coming...
So if you heard my rather 'passionate' radio spot about 15 minutes ago on 'People out there not willing to learn..." and are expecting me to be singing 'We Shall Overcome' all over....naw...But some of that is here. It is all of the person that makes up me.
I'd go up to the Search box and type in Grown Folks Talk if you ABSOLUTELY must find out what all the 'fuss is about' @ what Nitty said...

On opinions: Just an excerpt of a pice that was sent to me by 'Good Cop'...
If you don't know who 'good cop' is and you follow me on Twitter, PAY ATTENTION. Half of the Black OddCouple. Inkonegro.
I am sure this comes off as rather 'odd' for a person who PUTS HIS OPINIONS ON FULL DISPLAY from time to time. I think I can do it though because....well...like I said...IT IS FROM TIME TO TIME. So I am not talking about those that do that...It is the 'overdoers' I am alluding to here...@ me posting this.

When it comes to opinions, we're all living in an intellectual Costco, where it's volume, volume, volume.
It wasn't that long ago that opinions were something carefully considered and weighed, so that they'd stand the test of time and reflect well on the author. Thinkers were like gourmet chefs laboring over an elaborate meal they wanted to be perfect. But today, opinions are Big Macs -- thrown together hastily, served by the billions and not very good for you.
You probably don't want to have as many opinions as you have. But everyone around you has them. There's cable news, of course. Glenn Beck has plenty of opinions. So does Keith Olbermann (late of MSNBC and soon of Current TV).
When you sell opinions for money, the way Keith and Glenn do, it doesn't take you long to catch on that the more opinions you have, the more money you make. So, like radish farmers who grow more radishes in order to get rich, Keith and Glenn create dozens of new opinions per night.
But here's the problem: They're not very smart opinions. And they're forcing everyone around them, including you, to also have far too many opinions. We post them on Facebook; we tweet them; we express them in comments on Huffington Post or Town Hall. We've become junior-grade cable goons -- but paid much less.
We get angry too, just like Keith and Glenn. What's the point in having an opinion if it's not an angry opinion? If something upsets us -- like a member of Congress and a bunch of innocent bystanders being shot in Tucson -- we don't mourn, we fulminate. We assign blame. Or we deflect blame -- angrily.
It's hard to find the good guys when one side is self-righteously accusing the other side of lacking civility as if that were any more likely to spark violence than movies or video games, and the response is, weirdly, to defend a lack of civility as if it's a good thing.
Opinion inflation has invaded every aspect of our lives. It causes us to post our opinions about our dry cleaner on Yelp. Did you used to have an opinion about your dry cleaner, or was he just sort of there, like a shrub or a parking meter?

Hey, everyone. This afternoon I took time to share a small thought on twitter, and was happy to have it start some discussion with fans who are following me. If you saw the tweet, you may have noticed others talking about some private messages I was sending to clarify what I had originally sent.
I’m not an argumentative person, and twitter would be the LAST place where I would want to publicly give the impression that I was debating people. So, I thought I’d take time to write a post (something a little longer than 140 characters) that would let anyone see the direct message perspective I enjoyed sharing with the folks on twitter who were talking back to me.
From my theological study, and I certainly don’t know everything about the koine Greek, the abbreviations XΣ, XP, and XC were ancient symbols that the early church used to represent the word “Christ” and not “X.” In all ancient icons, nowhere is Christ symbolized by “X” alone. Nowhere in the Greek language or Church history is the letter “X” a symbol or representative of Christ. In English, of course, it stands for unknown.
I know this is something that has been debated for years, and both perspectives can quote their own wikipedia articles. The main opinion I want to emphasize (which is hard to do in 140 characters) is our need to recognize the origin of the Christmas season. I think most people can appreciate the importance of preventing materialism from replacing the observance of a ritual that is important to so many people’s faith.
So forgive me as I continue to figure out the best way to use twitter. I know it’s not going to be a place where I fight or debate. I don’t mind it being a place where I can connect with more people.
Thanks for interacting with me.
You folks are great!

Two ways (three) to look at this. Kanye's Blog Picture..
One could take the 'he is disrespecting her' approach things. You know the whole 'If he cared about her he wouldn't 'let' the World see her like that....' or the whole 'He is pimpin' her out take.
Then there is my way of looking at it. Thanks 'Ye. She is grown. You are grown. It isn't my business other than to enjoy it for what it is. Not my business why. The end. (At least for me.)
