(Grown Folks Talk) It's been a month already X Blackout on Blog lifted aka the Women Are Back





The song says it all... 


Yesterday made it a month since you've been gone. I probably won't do it like THIS every month but I'm also sure I won't stop counting 'em for a good minute. Huge hole still here. Things are rounding themselves into shape, like I knew they would BUT that doesn't make it any easier to do or deal with. The 'baby's' birthday went well....

....Wait, why I am telling you these things like you don't have your hand in 'em? I guess to make myself feel better. *chuckles*. Anyway, there is so much that I want to write here but I won't. I know you know this is my outlet but you also know I've already reverted back to circling in the wagons. I hope to give a good mix of both here in the future. Giving pertinent information to continue to help others who have had to deal with this and the peace of mind that I haven't shared EVERYTHING and maintain some sort of privacy within my own standards. So far, so good. I don't feel like I've given a WHOLE lot. Just standard stuff. That said.. more 'standard' sharing coming in the next paragraph as I want folks to know it is 'okay' to do or not do certain things in their own time.


Your clothes are still intact. Sans your white dress shirt that the oldest always wears to her concerts for violin. I know you were sitting there smiling as the child played her heart out last night. I can't bring myself to even begin to try to 'move' them and as a result they occupy the same space they did when you left. Your car however, had to go. Matter of fact, they both did. Too much memory. Too much sweat equity. Hair everywhere. Cars seem to want to steer in directions that I'm just not ready to go yet and your car in particular PERMEATED of you. As it should 'cause...well... it is YOUR CAR. So yeah, I had to tear that band aid off and get rid of them both. As usual, you kept your promise that I would one day again do something in regards this situation. Thank you baby. Again. No hesitation on it either other than I wish you were once again hear to enjoy that with me. I mean I know you are 'here' with me but I can't touch you and look at you whipping it so THAT HURTS. 'Cause I damm sure would put you on the road in it and watch that hair flow. Watch you put on your lil driving gloves and them glasses.. Lip gloss popping. Pretty lil thang whipping around with that vigor that I taught you when I taught you how to REALLY DRIVE. Simple pleasure I know but one that I took in every time.

Every hour. Just about every minute.. between the jokes.. the laughter...the handling of business... the music (Hell, the music is mostly inspired by...) Thoughts of you... I don't always verbalize 'em 'cause...well..I know I WOULDN'T WANT TO HEAR THAT SHIT ALL THE TIME..lol Understand though.. they are there. :)

Everyone has been so gracious and kind with their words. My WHOLE OFFICE at my former job that I knew had your obit up in their cubicles. It was pretty amazing to see. Calls from everyone. Amazing.

I truly appreciate it. Kids do too.

Still.. there are times... well...yeah... @ alone. Unfortunately, there's not much anyone can do. Only thing I can do is walk DIRECTLY into those times so that I can 'walk back through' the other side of pain for a minute. That's it really.

The rest? You kinda already know so I am not gonna put it here....Or not in this post at least. Maybe I'll let some songs talk for me or put it 'poetry' form.. *shrugs*

The wall is slowly coming back up it seems. Slowly..


THE BLOG AND THE CONTENT

As y'all can see, the 'blackout' is over. For now. I'm not sure 'how' this event is going to affect the blog though. I suppose I could go back totally to business as usual but we will see. Like I always say, IF THIS IS 'GOODBYE' to your visits, I hope you enjoyed your visit and I thank you for even reading what you have read thus far. You could have spent your time anywhere else. You didn't. So thank you. This is what I DO THOUGH. @ the content and such. Not gonna change that. I may take my time getting back to it OF MY OWN CHOOSING but not for you. Sorry. 


The Twitter 2 X Series coming to an end but have no fear....

I probably will 'retire' the Twitter 2 X of the Week series and bring something else in its place. It is only fitting that MJI be the last one I think. I have to think of a name and all of that though so that makes it pretty 'difficult' in that regard. So it may TAKE A MINUTE for me to do replace the series.

Concept will be the same though. Plenty of candy BUT with some sorta underlying 'spotlight' on the other side of that person. 

Oh you didn't 'get that' out of the series before? You weren't paying attention then. The point was always to promote their attractiveness in a POSITIVE WAY. Not a positive way according to how 'you would do things/would want your woman to act/act as a woman' either. In THEIR WAY. I was never here to make a woman feel some type of way about loving the way she looked. Y'all can keep that. You can ask ANY OF THEM WHO EVER GOT FEATURED and to a gal they would tell you the first thing that they enjoyed about the series was how 'tasteful the words were' and how they were presented. How they felt 'humanized' by the post as opposed to being 'demeaned' by ugly language and labels that they didn't 'ask for'. Those that 'did promote themselves' in that manner got that but for those who just wanted to 'do whatever it is they do' and still be known as human, THEY GOT THAT HERE. That's what the series was about. That is what it will continue to be about. Sometimes spotlighting those who WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR THEIR PHYSICAL and sometimes spotlighting those who SHOULD be spotlighted for it but somehow are not BUT ALWAYS SPOTLIGHTING THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS. With feelings. Get it now? How do you think 'she' would even 'condone' such a series if I was out here degrading women? Yeah.. okay..-_- 


For some 'smart' people, some of you are pretty dense man... Aight.. enough about that.. Mess around and turn this into a rant up in here. Not what I came to do....



My interview log is BACKED UP obviously BUT THAT WILL BE BACK TOO. Just give me a minute. I have pretty concrete plans to be in Durham on NYE though so there might be SOMETHING on that front that I can 'share'. @ Pics and such. Maybe though. I am gonna be amongst 'Friends' so I might just 'chill'. Usually though, when I do JUST THAT, I get some of my better posts. We shall see though...


'Preciate y'all who still COME BACK AND CHECK to see what is cooking over here. Slowly but surely, things will get back to where they were. Thank you for your patience. Just out handling the day to day business that is to be expected when one's spouse dies. Thank you..

A SATIRICAL blog about interracial dating from @WetAsTheCee aka ceewhathappenedwas

 Shit is funny and has folks HEATED. (Self not included. Date who you want.) *

See what I mean? http://twitter.com/WetAsTheCee/statuses/228275421265932291

*I saw a tweet about 'dating and RT'd a Hov quote behind it. This is how I found about this post.. Trying to figure out what the uproar was all about..smh. Almost wished I hadn't but eh.... I know she was playing. Clearly other niggas don't nor are they playing in regards to the insults they are hurling. Cats are in their feelings. Double talking. Calling her names but saying they don't care.. Pick a side niggas...smh Being disrespectful. These are the niggers you other folks look up to though...-_- Ah...I didn't read the 'original' blog that sparked this one. I don't frequent that place so naw....I missed it..lol Here it is. Folks hero's name is attached to it. (Word is he didn't 'write it' but whatever...It is his opinion. He can keep it. I don't give a good fuck..)


10 Reasons Why I’m Going to Start Dating White Men

 
I'm get one too, Sanaa!!!
I’ma get me one, too.
So, while on the Twitters today (you can find me at @WetAsTheCee), there was an article floating around written by one of “Black Twitter’s Elite Idiots”. Some guy name Ice wrote an article entitled “10 Reasons Black Guys Prefer White Girls”. I read. I shook my head. I realized how idiotic it all sounded. Then, I started thinking “This is just HIS opinion, this isn’t ALL black males, right????”
A glimpse of my timeline showed me, sadly, there are other guys out here who feel this way. And I by no means am knocking ANYONE’S dating preference. But I’m saddened by the amount of sheepish black men who subscribe to this same thought process. So instead of me filling up your timeline with my thought, I took it to the blog. Here we go!
10 Reasons I’m going to start dating White men:
10. White guys LOVE my hair. Whether it’s weaved, pressed or naturally twisted, I’ve ALWAYS received compliments from the men of Caucasia. They touch it (with permission), play in it, even had one help me twist it. Also, they understand that while we don’t often get our hair wet, we don’t smell like wet dog when we do.
9. White men listen. I don’t have to tell Tom more than once what I need him to do. I’m STILL asking Dayquan to get his brush and du rag out my car,
8. White guys are family friendly. Your Grandmother isn’t worried that Trent is going to steal her Sterling Silver gravy boat at Thanksgiving. He’s also bringing over a bottle of wine for Auntie Tamika to add to the punch.
7. White men aren’t bothered by my lack of restrictions in the bedroom. I believe that sex should be more than a nut. It is a bonding experience designed for pleasure and growth. But suggesting any position in the bedroom to a Black man leads to accusations of unfaithfulness and them questioning whether they have entered a relationship with a hoe. White guy? “You said you want a finger in your ass, honey?? Left hand or right?”
6. White men aren’t trying to be music A&R on Twitter. Some of my Black brothers spend COUNTLESS hours on Twitter, dissecting mixtapes, albums, blogging, but have never said anything like “hard day in the office” or “my manager gets on my nerves”. You’re not all producers or tastemakers. Most white men have goals, and will let you know of those goals within the first 30 minutes of your conversation. Check out white twitter during 9-5…CRICKETS, People!!!!
5. White men have no problem giving their women gifts. I’ve known this white dude for 4 days, and managed to get a bouquet of exotic flowers, an edible arrangement and a $200 date. A Black guy will buy you lingerie for Christmas and get mad when you’re not excited. I’m not saying that material things are important, but it’s MANY Black men out here that won’t loan their “Woman” $20 til her next payday because it’s be deemed as “tricking”.
4. White men act like they have some good gotdamn sense. I do not constantly have to yell at Rob for coming home late because Rob respects me and is home in bed by 1. I don’t have to nag Rob because he handles his business without me reminding him of his responsibilities. I don’t go through Rob’s phone or email because he’s never given me any reason to suspect something fishy may be going on. I also don’t have to worry about Rob calling me 5453 times in a row because I didn’t respond to his text quickly enough. Rob doesn’t accuse me of sleeping with every male that I say “Hi” to. Rob doesn’t ride past my house to make sure no other cars are there, either.
3. White men love to take care of their women. You need your car washed, oil changed? Those gutters clean enough? How’s that new chandelier Joe installed?
2. White men in the bedroom. Ever got some head from a suburban boy with full lips and an appetite for days??? None of that cute shit, them boys get DOWN! From the roota to the toota!! And he’s not done until you are.
And Finally…the TOP REASON…
1. White men just seem to have it together. I mean, look at Robin Thicke, Chris Noth, Robert DeNiro, Justin Chamber, Roger Ebert and David Bowie. Hell, Even Brad Pitt!!!!!! What do all these powerful, rich, famous, melanin challenged men ALL have in common??? They’ve all either dated or are MARRIED to BLACK WOMEN.

(Vacation) I'm on a lil mini vacation in the great city of New York...Brooklyn to be exact.



Will be back at y'all probably late Monday early Tuesday or so. *



*Now that I have put this post up..watch me make several posts...before that time...lmao This just means you will get double the posts from me at some point on certain things....
Share:

(Yawns) I guess it is time to make the quarterly..."I see you out there"... Post...

First of all, what up to the 'SmokeBreak'...What up HipHopStan.... That's just off top. I see you over there plair. Keep doing your thing.. You aren't included in what I am about to say but everyone else is....








You know, I can't get but 'so mad' about flicks being...urm...pillaged... from the site's archives. I mean, we all gotta start SOMEWHERE RIGHT? You have this idea to have a place where folks can see young ladies and you want to do it 'your way'. COOL. Your sources are 'limited' though so you gotta get it how you live. So I get that..... 



I DO think however, that you could at least..I don't know nigga....'SPEAK'...when you fall through. Let me define 'speak' for you. The 'proper' procedure is for you to make a 'blog' post...a one time hat tip....SOMETHING to acknowledge..."You know, I found this pretty dope place that I get SOME OF MY STUFF FROM and you should go check it out..." You don't have to do it like I do it either..but some sort of thing like that should go on. You don't have to to do it EVERY TIME or some dumb shit. Nobody is saying that. Just let the BLOG owner know that you don't think they are a 'a bunch of idiots' and they don't know what is going on. That's all.

There are those sites that make you 'backlink' your stuff and I guess that is all they can 'do'... Example..

 http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?548185-New-babe-added-to-FreeOnes-Claudia-Sampedro


(Funny thing about that site..I can't go there and post up MY OWN STUFF though..Interesting...)


How do I EVEN KNOW THIS HAPPENS? Easy. Sometimes folks tell me. Most of the time though, the # 1 WAY I know is because of how folks 'arrive' at my blog. You'd be surprised as to what folks 'type in' when they hit Google. I see they are looking for 'more pictures' of (insert name), see you just made a post on it (they usually post from their toolbar so it takes them DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PAGE TO MINE..THUS GIVING the information about 'where they are coming from) and bam. I see YOUR POSTS/blogs/whatever. So it isn't like I don't notice your current 'page' looks a lot like a 'weekly run' of my blog's archives AS I SCROLL THROUGH WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON OVER THERE. You aren't the first. Won't be the last...So with that said, like I always have done when I see folks doing this, I feel the need to send out this friendly PSA...



"I see you outchea my nigga.... Give me some pub over there though if you are gonna fall through and 'act like didn't find the shit you post in on place'. "




Now you can act like you didn't 'read' this post if you like, but I know you will... 'cause I put a dope ass flick of a dope ass girl up* Just know...I know..Again, I can't say I don't 'understand'. I'm just letting you know as a Vet in this, that some sorta acknowledgment is ALWAYS BETTER than the ole 'I'll just take their shit and no one will know' method that you are currently employing. We ALL take things from each other. I mean hey, sometimes you MISS SHIT. THAT IS MORE THAN UNDERSTANDABLE.** Let me be CLEAR about that. Especially with someone who is KNOWN (a Maliah..a Yaris..A Sultry Simone...whatever...) That's COOL. Don't think that for one minute though that folks aren't noticing when you take a 'lesser' known person though. Especially when you take four or five at a pop.....


What we DON'T DO THOUGH is take a 'nigga's whole week's worth of shit', re-name it and act like we came up with the shit on our own... lol








Could I watermark the pics and take care of that? Yep. I could. I would also be pretty fucking lame for do. So I don't do that. I guess there is your 'loophole' @ why you feel you can do it. They don't 'belong to me' so you feel you can post them up AND GUESS WHAT...YOU CAN! Just know that I know that YOU KNOW that you wouldn't even KNOW WHO THE FUCK THEY WERE UNLESS YOU CAME HERE. To 'find' them. Just know that. That's the point I am making.. That's it. Not about the 'pictures' per say 'cause shit, I 'dug' for them just like anyone else could. Switch that shit up a little bit though fam. There are about 4 of you. You know who you are. No, I'm not gonna 'call your name'. You don't call mine when you come through here looking for what you are going to post up for the day..lmao..Thanks for playing though....


Oh you must be mad..Look at all the words you typed out- You

(Chuckles) 75 Words Per Minute...my nig... Just my thoughts come out faster. No 'hunting and pecking' for words over here. @ how I type. Besides, you HAVE seen the 'word' posts right? This is nothing. This is pretty light actually...



*Funny how you only look at those posts..lol Scared of the rest of the subjects I tackle?  


** I just did it in the PREVIOUS post to prove a point. @ porn chick I just posted up...

*** The labels for the post were done ON PURPOSE. Including the 'names'. Not an accident..

Pass it on to the cats who ask 'Why do folks still use BloggDevil's Advocate: 5 Reasons Why You Should Use Blogger Instead Of WordPress | BloggingPro

Devil's Advocate: 5 Reasons Why You Should Use Blogger Instead Of WordPress | BloggingPro

Since all Five reasons are why I still haven't used WordPress (I have a Wordpress account too btw so that's not it...) I thought I would put this up. I get this question FREQUENTLY myself. It is INDEED where I started at but I've looked into the other options. So far, nothing has moved to the point that I want to move and much like everything other 'fad' in Life, I don't 'move' just 'cause everyone else does. In addition, my main goal is for you to get what I post in some format. As long as you get to read my words when I do write them, I am GOOD. I also don't think my theme looks too bad. (Or any of the past themes I choice..@ the Facebook one before Facebook REALLY TOOK OFF, THE ORIGINAL BLACKBERRY THEME I HAD.... etc, etc..) Anyway...take a look at the reason.



Despite the power and popularity of WordPress amongst the blogging elite (at least upon the Techmeme Leaderboard), Blogger still remains the dominant blogging platform in the world, with the glorious WP coming in at a distant second.
Some in the WordPress faith may wonder why anyone would consider using Blogger, especially since WordPress boasts thousands (or is it tens of thousands?) of plugins, themes and developers–not to mention awesome smartphone apps upon the iPhone, Blackberry and Google’s very own Android OS.
However upon closer examination, BlogSpot fans may not be as “delusional” as some geeks may think for choosing Google over Automattic, as there are at least 5 major advantages of using Blogger instead of WordPress–both WP.com and WP.org.

1) Problogging On Your Domain
No matter how you slice it or dice it, Blogger is just far cheaper when it comes to blogging underneath your custom domain.
Backed by the mighty Google, Blogger is free when it comes to hooking up your domain. WordPress charges you $10 per domain (and that is on top of what you pay for registering your domain elsewhere).
While this may seem like a small price to pay, the bill can add up quickly if you own 5 or 6 domains.

2) Image Hosting
When it comes to default image hosting, WordPress beats Blogger 3 times over (as the former offers 3 gigabytes of default space vs Google’s 1 gigabyte).
However when it comes to upgrading to the next level on both accounts, Blogger destroy’s WordPress by offering users 20 GB of space for $5/year while WP.com offers users 5GB of space for about $20/year (note: the options become worse for us WP fans the higher up we go).

3) Video Hosting
If image hosting wasn’t bad enough, the video options alone will make one weep when you consider that WordPress charges users $60/year to use VideoPress–a fee that does not include any extra space.
BlogSpot fans on the other hand are offered video uploading for free (thanks to Google Video), with no limits on space.
4) Themes: Free for thee, but not for me?!
Despite Blogger’s popularity, WordPress (to my knowledge) still has more custom themes than its Google rival. However a new trend that I am noticing is that many premium WordPress themes are available for FREE (or very cheap) on Blogger.
One example (out of many) would be a premium WordPress theme called Church is available for $60 for WP fans. BlogSpot lovers however can get the same exact theme for free.
In fact there are many sites out there (like WordPress To Blogger) that convert premium WordPress themes to Blogger for free or very inexpensive prices (note: I am not sure how legal these businesses are, but thus far they seem to have faced little action against the original creators).
5) Security
This last point is probably debatable, but lets just face the facts: Google has one of the most secure platforms in the world.
Although WordPress.com and many hosting companies (such as Media Temple, Host Monster and GoDaddy) provide excellent security for their customers, the fact that Google can take on foreign hackers from semi-hostile nations speaks volumes about how tough their defenses are.
So is Blogger better than WordPress?
Answer: That depends on who you ask. ;-)

Changes abound....Here at the blog....Mailbag/offline questions answered...rant ensues..Another day at The Warehouse...

Clearly, if this is your first time clicking in awhile, you can see the slide show and the background changes. I won't speak too much on those because they are pretty self explanatory. They will be changed soon as I am in the middle of deciding how to REALLY utilize them. @ the slides. I want to feature stuff but I want it to be next level. Hopefully, I can get the information up and pick wisely. I know a lot gets 'lost' in the blogs backlogs and the popular posts item, while helpful, doesn't spotlight all the posts I would like it to. At times, that slide will look like an ad campaign....at others...it will look like me showcasing my work. Other times it will be used to JUST SHOW LOVE TO SOME FOLKS. Period. 



You should know by now though that by changes I actually mean ADDITIONS as well. Which for some of you slower folks will look like 'change'. I would say I am 'sorry' that you feel that way but that would be a lie. Not a fuck will be given actually. Gotta keep this thing moving FORWARD. My goals were never JUST DE or NC (OR JUST FOR certain folks in said states) to begin with which is why I didn't just start them 'there'. I like to bring it from all over. I will continue to do just that.


You see, I didn't start this blog to catch the attention of 'one particular' audience or to the be the voice for 'one set of people'. Nope. The way I see it, some of you need to SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES anyway as everything YOU stand for, I don't. That is what makes us all human. I can't eat your respect and I live in a DIFFERENT WORLD than a lot of you anyway. That is just the facts. I have ALWAYS KNOWN THAT. Maybe you didn't because I knew about YOUR WORLD and that is how you got introduced to me or the blog but it is true. I know how that sounded too. I don't really care. Simplistic shit doesn't appeal to me. There is a lot I want to say but I will save that for another blog post.(Oh I am gonna say it. Trust me.)  Period. So you can't make me feel bad for not 'repping for you'. Rep for yourself homie. If our tastes happen to agree on something, so be it. If not....oh well.

I'm not doing this to talk to myself. I want to REACH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE. So that being said, OTHER DIMENSIONS will slowly be added. Actually, they already are here but will be more visible. I need more people to see what is going on so in order to do that, I have to post the things that will BRING THEM HERE to begin with all while posting things that I STILL FOOL WITH. Hard line to tow if I cared about what others thought was 'wack' or 'not for us'.

Good thing I don't give a fuck about that huh? "Cause I don't and it is going to show up EVEN MORE in the posts. Pictures and all of that. If you decide that your 'product' can't be associated with that and you don't want to 'retweet' or pass whatever I write onto your folks so they can see it, LET ME KNOW. So I can stop writing about it. I love writing about folks but I DO HAVE OTHER THINGS AND FOLKS I could be writing and posting up about. Ya dig? I won't take it personally if you tell me. I WILL IF YOU DON'T THOUGH and slowly stop 'supporting me' like I support you. That is anybody. I don't care who you are. Whether you live down the street from me, 5 miles away from me or 700 miles away. Not about to do that. I've already done that with SEVERAL FOLKS. It is the SUM OF THE PARTS, not one part that makes this thing work. Let me know now if you 'don't respect me' so I can QUICKLY STOP giving my time out. Notice I didn't say 'like', I said respect. Notice I didn't say 'fear'...I said respect. They are different things...**


TRANSLATION: I can't wait and 'depend' on ya'll by catering to JUST YOU...I just can't do it.... You wanna come then come. @ the ride. You don't? Get off the train.You WILL NOT KEEP ME DOWN WITH YOUR NARROW MINDED ASS VIEWS ON LIFE. Nope. Sorry.

It is funny that I should even have to say that as the usual 'topic' that makes people feel that way is the ONE THAT GETS THE MOST HITS.....


 THE WOMEN and their pictures..

So yeah, if the women bother you to the point that you can 'no longer be associating yourself' with the blog, I understand. Truly. Just know that more people have seen your PRODUCT AND DISCOVERED IT FROM THOSE VERY SAME WOMAN BEING FEATURED ON HERE. I have the stats to prove it. Folks have come here thinking this site is all about the 'pictures' and leave with new music. But hey, you don't want to associate with that? Cool......
 


The chat series (Think 'interview' only less formal..)  and lack thereof newness: 

I took a little bit of time off from that for a few reasons. Some have been posted on the blog and some have and will not be made known. What I can tell you is this. I have some planned. 

Some folks are even asking me 'When are we gonna do this?" @ interviews. I'm talking folks I WANT TO INTERVIEW, not those that I have no interest in interviewing. 

Here is one reason why I stepped back from doing them. I wanted to develop more of an identity with my methods. Wanted to make sure I wasn't interviewing folks 'just because I had access to them' and the like. I've seen some projects that have been fumbled here lately by others that I know that are doing things 'because they have access'. It doesn't come out as good as it should because things aren't in perspective. I sought out that perspective and I think I have it. I don't see me 'changing' my chat series style but rather attacking it with more aplomb and a better understanding of how to get what I WANT out of the chat. That will hopefully make it better for you to read. 

I also mulled back and forth with doing 'visual' interviews. For now, I have decided against that. I can't be out here worried about getting 'visual' evidence that I actually 'interviewed' someone which is a real live fear of mine. I want folks to KNOW WHEN I DID SOMETHING which is why I don't imply COMPLETE ownership of stuff now. @ stuff I didn't do. I know that the visual interview started because of that but I happen to like putting fingers to keys (as opposed to pen to paper because technically I am not 'writing') I think it makes you think and have to paint your OWN visual in your head. Plus I am not about that 'in front of the camera' life. I will DO IT but it is not my preference. I am not here for all of that. I want you respect my mind. If I didn't, I would be up here with pics of myself plastered all over the blog.* So for now, no videos like that. Occasionally, if the opportunity presents itself, there MAY BE one or two but I am not ready to do it in that fashion.


THE MUSIC THAT I FEATURE ON THE BLOG....POST #242403124082 answering that question...


As if the sidebar isn't clear. There are exceptions that I post up songs that I am not necessarily a HUGE FAN OF but because I know of folks WHO ARE FANS OF THAT TYPE OF MUSIC, I will put it up. So lets get that out of the way. I mean, it is GREAT THAT I WANT TO PUT UP THINGS THAT I LOVE but if I can at least 'understand' why you are making the music you make and you DO HAVE TALENT, I won't deny the masses of that. Just know though that if I feel that way about your music (don't 'love it' that is..) that all of your music won't MAKE ITS WAY HERE. I refuse to be 'conflicted' over music by someone whose style I don't 'love'. Hell, there are artists whose music I DO LOVE that I don't put all their music up. So if I do that to them, what do you think I am going to do in regards to YOUR MUSIC. That's right...pick and choose out of what I like and don't like. That's just how it goes fam. There is no money being exchanged so.....


Speaking of money being 'exchanged', for those of you who asked about ads and I told you that 'placement' is an issue, that is no longer the case. I can do it but I am not about to put YOUR STUFF on my site, driving money to your pocket for your services without compensation. Period. So if you want a space, hit me up. You see the email on the side. 




On why I don't do the 'bashing' thing that others do on the Net:

It is simple. The shit is lame to me. I don't 'hate' someone that much to invest all of that time into them dissing 'em. I just don't. I will say whatever it is I have to say about whatever the subject is and leave it alone. What do I look like looking 'invested' out here talking SPECIFICALLY about one of those KNOWN FOLKS negatively FOR DAYS ON END? Unprovoked? How desperate do I look out here? Not to mention it is EASY TO DO. I mean, all you have to do is compile other folks feelings, over exaggerate to the hundredth power on the slander meter and boom. That shit is blackflace level to me. I would be FAR MORE ENTERTAINED if folks 'went in' on the real enemies. Oh wait, they can't. They are scared of those folks. Whether they be the 'rich powerful white man' who is their idol or the cat in their hood, they won't even ALLUDE TO THEM. Ever. 

I haven't exaggerated yet so don't claim I am doing what they do. I have yet to say anything that starts with 'They are probably somewhere right now, hating on air...throwing punches at it and cuss at the fact they have to breath it...' or some shit. Nope. I didn't say that....Or did I? 

Look, that is not what I do. I don't have that kinda hate in my blood for those folks.


....again...I can't wait for 'ya'll'....

Grown Folks Talk: This sudden acceptance of not being 'man enough' and the people who push that agenda..

 I keep seeing this particular saying pop up in my TL, my feeds and in general 'talk' amongst men. 

"I'm just not man enough to do..."



(Record scratch) What did you say? You aren't 'man enough'? Who admits that? Who READILY admits that they aren't 'man' enough to do something (I don't care WHAT IT IS PERSONALLY..) EVEN IN JEST? What. Part. Of. The. Game. Is. That?

Where do they make you lame ass people at? Do you NOT know what it means to be a man?  

Now before you try and take what I am saying to use it for your 'Yeah I don't cook, watch my kids and do ' stuff reserved for females' agenda, pump your brakes. That's not what I am saying. Stop it. You are no better than those bitchmade dudes for that one in my eyes so you get no support here EITHER. Sorry. 

Here is what I am saying: 

It is not manly to 'shrink in the face of responsibility'/ get all in your feelings and not face up to the World's challenges that are presented to you/ or none of this other silly shit you people are out here saying you aren't 'man enough to do'. I mean, great, you are admitting you aren't strong enough, capable enough or some of the other crap you are out here saying. It sounds like you are making excuses to me. You make enough excuses then you start to believe that you aren't 'responsible' for anything short of getting your own weed and giving these chicks out here that limp dick game you keep bragging about. Hell you might even start to 'blame the World for everything it isn't giving you'. See where I'm going with this?

When you take on the attitude of 'not being man enough' long enough, your actions start reflecting it. The things that you 'used' to be 'man enough for' suddenly you aren't. All because you think it is a witty 'comeback' to some shit that you really fear. It becomes your deflection 'tool' if you will. Kinda like this bullshit written here...a prime example.* All of the sudden, NOTHING IS YOUR FAULT and you because you weren't 'man enough' to handle things, you blame EVERYONE ELSE when it is really you.

You lost your job 'cause you weren't man enough to 'take orders' from someone EVER? Even though you don't want to be a 'boss' 'cause you aren't 'man enough' to handle all that comes with being the boss. You know like 'work'? Being responsible for fuckups as well a the success?

You lost the best girl you ever had because she 'fucked a couple of mofos you knew while you were together ALL WHILE YOU FUCKED EVERYTHING AROUND HER AND YOU'? Friend and foe alike you fucked of hers but she wants to work it out but you aren't 'man enough' to have everyone know she played the same game you did? And you have children. And she is the only one who will put that up with your funky ass on a permanent basis though.

You can't get where you want to in Life and you shit on everyone else's dreams 'cause you aren't 'man enough' to accept the fact that JUST MAYBE YOU PUT YOURSELF in those shitty situations?

You are man enough to fuck her but EVEN THOUGH THE BABY LOOKS JUST LIKE YOUR SORRY ASS, YOU AREN'T MAN ENOUGH TO GO HELP HER TAKE CARE OF IT. Not live with her. Not be with her. Just take care of the baby? 'Cause all of your 'boys' (or everyone in the hood/who knows you) thinks she is a hoe/may have had sex with her? Yeah...Be a man little boy. Be a man. That gun you got doesn't make you a man. (They didn't stop making 'em when they made yours ni##a- Jeezy. Stop that..) Them bricks you claim you have, doesn't make you a man. Be a man. Be a Father to your child. Men own up to their shit. Period. 


I'm not man enough to have a 'pretty girlfriend'.....I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD TAKE HAVING EVERYONE COMING AT MY GIRL LIKE THAT ON THE REG..'But I'mma man tho. All the way...Nobody can take what I have..my girl or anything.- You.  I have heard this said. Put in WRITING AND CO-SIGNED. By a lot of folks. Some I respect (for what that is worth 'cause honestly...) and some I don't. When DID THIS BECOME THE 'THING TO SAY'?  When did it become cool to IN ESSENCE, shit on the woman YOU DO HAVE by saying some bullshit like this? Who are the woman that stand by and watch their man say this and still have a smile on their faces? I mean do you not see he just basically 'Robin Harris'd' your ass? You clown. So your self esteem is that low that out here picking 'less attractive woman' all because your ego can't handle the fact that she has 'options'? Well I'll be dammed. You are the TRUE SIMP. (I see a lot of you 'throwing that word around too...I see you.) 'Cause damm if you might actually have to 'do some work' and be at your best to 'keep her'. Oh no. You are so spectacular that 'mediocre you' should do huh? Nigga please...But yet, there are cats out here claiming that they just aren't 'man enough' to handle a (Insert your favorite attractive woman here). So many different ways I could go with this one...Let me find out that is why you are out with these DarkWing Duck looking broads but stay talking shit about like a little girl about the 'popular' ones (even those in your neighborhood/state/circle/click/etc) Let me find out plair...

I could go on....I won't.  I am sure you get the point...


I mean I get it, you wanna be popular. You want to be accepted. I dig that. Stop selling out your manhood though to be accepted with the rest of those losers. Or at least stop coming around ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT. 'Cause I'm not trying to hear what you aren't 'man enough' for. That's not in my vocab fam.


If no one else will tell you, I will. Start acting like you have a set of nuts and dick and not a vagina. Even if you 'can't handle a situation, the proper response is NOT 'I'm just not man enough to do it..'. Stop that. In addition, the proper response isn't to automatically blame someone else. I feel like these two are going hand in hand. Don't tell me 'Oh I just be playing when I say that stuff...' either. You aren't. You mean it. One can see it by your actions.


* But you don't need 'no bitch for nothing' though? (I know that's your motto isn't it? Don't lie..) ...Yeah plair...aight..That was like the male rant version of Kelly Rowland's motivation if I ever saw it written. Getting vagina is cool and all but you can't blame bad vagina for your shortcomings. Nope. You can blame yourself for choosing bad vagina and still continuing to 'stick it' if you wanna call her out for that. Although I am pretty sure that if given the chance to 'defend' herself, the young lady would have some 'choice' shit to say about you too.....I digress though. And you are welcome. @ web traffic. Anything to help the black man out. Even when he is wrong. Shit don't bother me cuz..Rock on fucker...Rock on...We can swap out web traffic. Its cool with me NIGGA..

I won't rant about Blogger being down...I will just say that the posts you are seeing?

Some of them I posted RIGHT BEFORE IT WENT DOWN. As evidenced by what I put on Blogger. You can see I had 'em in the chamber but couldn't post 'em..smh

When someone puts up an EMBEDDED CODE for their video....

THEY WANT YOU TO USE IT AND SPREAD THE WORD. Just an FYI for those of you who don't 'get how this whole thing' works. I know that some of you profess to do 'this and that' but yeah...Unless YOU WERE THERE, you are 'second hand sourcing shit too'. Just so you know. Now I read what some of you 'write', what some of you 'tweet' at how you hate people who 'copy and paste' shit but the truth of the matter is that even YOUR SOURCE in most cases has done the same. They just took the time to 'reword' some of the shit. I have had SHIT OF MINE TAKEN AND HAD MAJOR MOTHERFUCKERS 'REWRITE' MY SHIT put it out an hour after I put it up in 'my own words' and turned around and had some of you SAME DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS say I stole it from them. Just so you know. So miss me ALL THE WAY WITH THAT 'COPY AND PASTE' shit. Its been done to me by SOME OF YOU. Don't think I haven't seen it. Its okay too because THIS IS THE GAME THAT WE PLAY. It is TRULY PAR FOR THE COURSE. @ the copy and paste. Some of us have the respect of others that some of us JUST DON'T HAVE. Its life. As long as the info gets out right? Right? Oh......

It is funny though 'cause when YOUR FAVORITE 'popular tweeter' discusses this shit, you ALL ACT LIKE HE/SHE is the first person with the information AS THEY READ IT FROM AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE ELSE. What. Par.  Of. The. Game. Is. That? But everyone else does the 'copy and paste' and they are suckers? FOH.

Don't even get me STARTED on some of my 'ideals' and thoughts on certain things. I say it, ya'll read it and say 'OH..okay.." Someone 'bigger' says it and it is shades of  "Oh you just stole that from such and such.' like I DIDN'T TYPE THE SHIT WEEKS BEFORE THEY PUBLICLY MADE THEIR CASE. Yeah homie? Really? I mean I get it, some of you just don't FUCK WITH INTELLIGENT FOLKS SO WHEN MORE THAN ONE PERSON SPEAKS ON A SUBJECT AND IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR YOU CAN'T GRASP THE CONCEPT THAT MORE THAN ONE PERSON COULD THINK LIKE THAT. Still and all that shit is FRUSTRATING to a nigga 'cause now I have to compensate for YOUR SHORTCOMINGS. Unbelievable. Step your friends circle up or better still STEP YOUR INTELLIGENCE GAME UP. More than one person can have a thought that MAKES SENSE than your 'favorite person'. Deal with it.

I mean I put it to you like this..If your favorite person is 'SO SMART', WHY THE FUCK AREN'T THEY OUT HERE CURING CANCER? Why the fuck are they EVER WRONG and how do you let them get away with it? Riddle me that one. Quit acting like your 'favorite' isn't above reproach and that 'those deflective jokes' they make as the bob and weave through the times that they do fuck up makes up for the fact that they are WRONG. A lot. Please quit insulting me. To be fair...I LIKE SOME OF YA'LLS FAVORITES TOO. They are some of my favorites. Doesn't mean they aren't wrong though. 

While I am up here, ya'll aren't gonna do much but you are gonna STOP TAKING ADVICE STRICTLY FROM GUYS AND GALS WITH NO MAN or no commitment in sight. Correction, you are gonna stop taking their word as the ONLY WORD THAT IS RIGHT. You can take advice 'cause quite frankly good advice can come from those who have fucked up as well as though who have succeeded (If you are under a certain age, I am not arguing with you about this. You don't KNOW ENOUGH YOUNG BUCK. SORRY. HOLLER AT ME WHEN YOU LIVE LONGER. We all thought listening to the success stories was 'the way to go'. Until today's success stories turned into tomorrow's fuck up...I digress though..)  I don't wanna hear about that 'by choice' shit either. If you aren't doing it, I don't wanna hear from you so much. Sorry. If you 'failed at it', I don't wanna hear from you so much. Almost getting there doesn't count partner. Sorry. I mean I know cats like to 'identify' with certain folks...to have folks who feel their pain..but THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOUR IDEALS AND THEORIES correct. Sorry pal. It just makes the group of 'We almost did it but it isn't for me...aka I FAILED AT THAT SHIT MISERABLY SON...' that much larger. I should say I am only talking to a select few of you in this group. You know the ones that CONSTANTLY FEEL THE NEED TO 'SPEAK ON RELATIONSHIPS' ON ONE HAND WHILE CLAIMING 'I'LL NEVER BE IN ONE AGAIN..' ON THE OTHER HAND. Its like watching a TV program that you don't like. Pick up the remote nigga. Change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch and you shitting on others for watching it is the LAMEST OF THE LAME THINGS YOU CAN DO. Especially if you 'failed at it'. Yeah I said it. I would 'tell you how to do it' but IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE. This isn't hitting a baseball my nig. It is complicated and it isn't perfect. Yet, because some of you want it to be that way, you diss it because it isn't. @ maintaining any relationship with someone. I see you out there. All hurt the fuck up. Running around with your imperfect self, pointing out others imperfections in relationship to make you and your group 'feel better about being alone'. By alone I mean, playing that wonderful game of chasing pussy/dick that some of 'you love to glorify'. I read them LONELY ASS TWEETS AND FACEBOOK STATUSES THOUGH. I hear the 'call of lonely' from you in them bitter ass statements you make. The pain in your font when recount 'the time such and such did that 'thing' to you'. I see you partner. All the money, hoes and the 'rest of what you have' can't hide that when that shit comes up. I see you. Even if your 'sheep' don't see it as a weakness. Go ahead though. Hide behind them 'canned jokes' you have. Those names you have for those that have WHAT YOU CLEARLY WANT. Keep carrying that baggage my nig/niggettes. On that Badu....

Shoot the messenger...miss the ENTIRE fuck outta the message....Read the bio..

'Tis what niggas do. Skim through shit....Crack jokes uninformed and ride off on their high horse to cackle and wax philosophical about some more shit they half assed read or looked at. Ninjas..Gotta love em! Over 4500 posts here and you skim over the first page (the first 20) , miss the KEY FACTS OVER THERE ON THE SIDE, make your deductions and sniggle in some comments. Stupid smart mofos....smh

I don't care WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELF. All that pseudo feminist, militant, and all that other 'if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything' bullshit that some of you hide behind matters not to me when it comes to the message that I may pass on. I won't even say that I 'give out' 'cause I don't lay claim to knowing it all. Some of it comes to me and pass it along. That's it.

You see, I don't have to make a 'separate' blog to 'hide behind' when I want to post up about what is right or wrong. I don't have to hide behind 'whatever my cause is' and act like I don't have 'feelings' or thoughts that are 'improper' (to you anyway) only to have them exposed later (like they ALWAYS DO FOR THOSE WHO RIDE SO HARD FOR A CAUSE..). Nope. I am human and I ACCEPT THAT. If you can't, then FUCK YOU. Period. Have fun with that shit you are hiding behind and your secret lives and secret blogs. Secret Tumblrs and shit. This is me nigga. Take it or leave it. If I help ONE PERSON by speaking my mind in the midst of ALL THIS TITTY AND ASS then it is one more person helped. Period. Unfortunately, I KNOW MY AUDIENCE AND I KNOW THEY DON'T RESPOND WELL TO BEING PREACHED TO ALL THE TIME. That shit doesn't work. So I give them what they want and then hit 'em with a message or two in between. And guess what? It works Mr./Mrs. Feminist, Militant, for the people, Trill, or whatever fucking fake ass moniker you are hiding behind.

The irony is I have made SEVERAL posts to the subject. I actually don't like that the top subjects here are what they are and I have ADDRESSED that several times. I like the subjects and am not ashamed of them but I would much rather the bullying post to be the top topic (See the side). Or the interviews. (See the side. I change the links all the time). Why do you think I put that section there? For fun? No dumb ass, it was so that people WOULD SEE IT AND READ 'EM AND THEY WOULD BECOME 'POPULAR'. They are too but when you post up ESPN PICTURES OF SERENA FIRST, that shit is gonna be on top. Sorry. When you post up pics of a 205 pound woman who is dispelling the myths of what a 205 pound woman should look like FIRST, you are gonna get hits. When you are dispelling the rumors that the people only look good with photoshop, you will GET HITS.  I will continue to do that. Not ashamed of that. Fuck you for trying to make me feel that way too but it doesn't mean I am any LESS PROUD of the other stuff here. There is OTHER STUFF HERE though. You have to look through the blog. If you can't see that, I don't know what else to tell you...


So chuckle it up my nig and niggets. Keep missing the messages and stoning the fuck outta the messenger. (And keep on supporting WSHH and that other bullshit you chuckle it up about..) FINE FUCKING JOB YOU ARE DOING worrying about that shit. Just remember, the person you are stoning is ON YOUR SIDE.Probably working right along side of you. Only this person doesn't 'hide' who they are as a whole. Unlike you....

Furthermore.....Everyone up here either ASKED TO BE HERE or puts their stuff out there TO GET EXPOSURE TO MAKE MONEY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE. You might not agree with it but that is NOT YOUR CALL so you can get off your horse with that shit. They are MORE THAN OKAY WITH THE EXPOSURE. It is done in a way that isn't classless. Nobody is here talking about wanting to fuck 'em or none of that shit. Pics or videos go up, respect is paid, their name gets out and everyone goes along their merry little way. Nobody is up here posing in front of Barack Obama and MLK in the club and it being 'accepted' or anything like that. Nobody in any of the videos that I am posting up ARE KILLING PEOPLE, talking about some wack ass Intruder Song or any of that other coonery you negroes eat up. I post up woman. @ the 'bad thing I do'....Ooooooooooooohh...Heaven forbid. Yet, there on that horse you stand....GTFOHWTS....Miss me all the way with that.

Like I said on the Tumblr....Just so we are CLEAR THAT I AM TALKING TO YOU. (Or anyone who feels that way...)



The post that I made that 'started' all of this lil sniggling...'cause God forbid I post up pictures of attractive people and then speak on something of 'substance'. Fuck you and your box bitch you are trying to put me in. You get in your box but leave me out of it. I won't wax on about ages and growing up but I will say hopefully one day you will learn that liking one things a lot doesn't mean one doesn't ENJOY and believe in something else. Or that right isn't right. Regardless as to where it 'comes from'. You can't pick and choose right. If it is right, it is right. One day. Hopefully.

"Which makes the post all the more important. I post ‘important’, War and Peace posts there all the time. Needless to see, a Google search and keywords tell you what really rule the Internet. My blog is not that big fam. I don’t have ANY marketing. Yet people find the things you pointed out and not the things ‘important’ things. That’s how it goes though. Glad you had a laugh. Get at me next time though…I’ll respond…"

That's all you gotta do..What I wrote up there...The blog is right here. The Tumblr is RIGHT HERE. That is unless that fake ass cause you got going on is just a facade like I called it. If you REALLY want to help and you think what I am doing is a problem, come talk to me.....

Now you understand us....@ just FINALLY MAKING POSTS OF YOUR OWN.

Good job. MUCH BETTER. Go all the way through the archive homie. I don't care. Copy and download EVERY PICTURE. Every video. Every unknown model that I post up. I am good with that too.

Just so long as you keep putting your OWN descriptions in the title lines and at the bottom of the posts we are good.

Are you NOT entertained? Are you NOT entertained? - Jay-Z..Okay..I don't 'own' most of the pictures on here.....

So if you follow the blog on Twitter and you saw me tweet about 'imitation', allow me to explain it in more than 140 characters.


Again, I tag what I 'own' mostly (which is why you don't see watermarks on 95% of my photos unlike the other 'spots') so it isn't about the CONTENT. I don't own it so I can no more get mad about someone posting it before OR AFTER I DO.

What I CAN get upset about, tweet about or blog about is someone taking an 'idea' that I have IN ITS ENTIRETY, PUTTING IT ON THEIR BLOG LIKE IT IS THEIRS and not even MENTIONING MY NAME. Then HOTLINKING IT BACK TO HERE like it is all gravy. No. I think we all hotlink so THAT BY ITSELF is no biggie to me right now either. It is on GOOGLE @ bandwidth. Not me. But when you couple it with you taking my titles, the pics I put up, hotlinking it and GIVING NO CREDIT? Yeah...I am gonna say something. Put my name in it. That's all. Even if you say 'Fuck that ni....'...I'll take that. Having your readership thinking that you 'coined' the terms and such though is really bitchmade.

The next one i'll switch up
This one will get bit up

To lazy to make up shit

They don't...paint pictures
They just trace me

Soon they forget who they plucked
They whole style from

I'mma start you off and they you go to her spot and finish. This is a must read....I am in tears over here....


Dear Officer Whateverthefuckyournamewas.

Oh I know I gave you my card. So I’m sure you’ll see this. I’m hoping you will.
And let’s be clear. I know what myself and this blog are protected by. So don’t run up on me with the bad cop attitude again, okay? You ain’t fuckin with me.

Now, even though you came in on  some bootleg rude ass cop tactics and LIES…
You had nothing but my total cooperation, politeness… along with a search of my car and house without warrant for arrest or search. So technically you were in my house, on my generosity, Illegally (I’m sure you know that).  Because I have nothing to hide. I politely explained the situation to you and offered several witnesses. My husband was there the whole time. Watching you. Then explained that I know exactly what my rights were.
Yet you still acted like a total bitch.
So I’m going to say it again, like I said it to your face, as I escorted you off my property.......

I know for some of you, that 'forgive yourself' post was 'confusing....Some insight on it...

I will help you out with SOME of the examples I was talking about....by pointing in the direction of another blogger's post...Oh it is GOOD TOO. Trust me....Let's just say that he used this joint RIGHT HERE TO DRIVE HOME HIS POST...



I might save that joint and pass it around on PAPER. He left all the fantasy outta that one. I loved it. 

This is probably one of the more truthful blog posts I have read. I want to 'spell it out' for you but I wanna see if some of you are as smart as you claim you are. For real....I don't need to know about your 'win/loss' record either so don't worry. I am not asking you to chime up and say 'Yeah, that happened to me..." I know better. I know it has if you are 'getting it in' like you say you are. It is A PART OF THE GAME. One that I was a FULL PARTICIPANT in. I done been the 'gloating' ninja....Thought  was 'reinventing the wheel'...Done been on the other side of that shit too. None of it has as much bearing as you give it in hindsight. When you are 'caught up in that World' and it is what 'defines you', it is either like taking a Power Pellet or Taking a Bullet to the head. Then you grow up and find out life is ABOUT WAY MORE THAN THAT and learn to 'forgive yourself' for the bullshit. The 'good' bullshit. The bad 'bullshit' and the 'bullshit that makes people feel better about the FUCKED SHIT THEY HAVE DONE so they keep throwing it in your face on that 'I remember what you did/how you were acting when/negative things' bullshit....Like I said people. Forgive yourselves. Then maybe you won't be so worried about what the next mofo is doing and be able to move out of that standing cesspool of judgment that you are currently knee deep in.....

This is a repost for a 'few' but for the vast majority this is new...The raw truth..

 was going to write on this subject anyway but this just puts it in such a good perspective that I will post it anyway..



The raw reality of the truth is disgusting. I, more often than not, will lie about reality to keep myself from appearing badly to you. ("Oh, God, I wouldn't want him.her.it to think x.y.z about me because that would be a.b.c.") The self is a very fragile, delicate being no matter what package it is wrapped in. It has a very sensitive nature that only wants to be appreciated, not questioned or discarded. And, because of all of this, the self will do anything to protect itself in the eyes of those it would like to, ultimately, please. Even lie. -bittersweet

I am starting off this blog with this salvo from another VERY GOOD blog I read this morning. Take from it what you want. In theme with it, here's what I have to say today....




I am looking around and things aren't looking so swift around me. I see some of you are looking pretty over there though while others are trying to make it work. Working hard and giving each other the attention that each other deserves. While we all would like to say that what goes on around doesn't matter for shit, it really does. It might not be the end all be all but it holds some sort of weight. Otherwise, we wouldn't keep these people around us. At least I would hope that is the case with most of you. You are supposed to surround yourself with those that are on the same page as you in some way. So seeing others do good is important to me to an extent. Don't get me wrong, if you are going in the other direction, I will continue to do me and what I need to do but I take great comfort in knowing it isn't just me "fighting this war". For those of you falling that 'other' way, I still love you btw. I am still here. You don't have to fall back from me. Been where you are at. It doesn't make you a horrible person and I can't throw rocks at your throne. Nor would I. This is about as "preachy" as I am going to get unless you invite me into your business. As you can see, I ain't said no names here. And for those of you who are like "What the hot hell is he talking about?" don't worry. If you don't really get what I am saying, it wasn't for you anyway..Just tuck it away in the archives. You might not need it now but if you are ever going to be in relationship, you might need it later. Ya neva know- Chris Rock


It is summer time damm near again and as we all know that good ole "itch" is coming through. Act like you got some sense dammit. Don't neglect your responsibilities and whatnot. Offers will be tendered. Smile and politely decline. It ain't worth it. The grass may look greener but some of you don't even cut the grass you have now. Fucks you taking on other properties for? Take care of that property and you might re-discover the things you liked about it when you bought it. IF YOU ARE GONNA TAKE ON MULTIPLE PROPERTIES, please remember the code of the game. Act like you been in the game before. Keep things in perspective. I don't wanna hear no war stories about you treating your jumpoffs like GFs and then wondering why you are in the 'situation' that you are in at the end of the day. Or about the dude that you 'fell for' while your intent was just to knocking him off for the summer. You know how the game is played. Quit picking people that YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE. I usually don't touch on this stuff too much but I thought I would show ya'll that I DO KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. I am married. Not an idiot. Far from it. Oh yeah, I love T.I.'s music and all but please understand, IT IS TRICKING IF YOU GOT IT. Period. No if, ands or buts about it. Now, if that is how you get it, hey. But understand that it is tricking. Period.


Also for those of you with kids, take your kids out somewhere this spring/summer. You have been to Vegas already. Been to Myrtle Beach. You have been to the Goodshot Bar, Chrome (or whatever they are calling it these days). You have been to Love in DC. Down to B.E.D. in Mia. Ain't it about time you and your kids did something? Ain't it about time for you kids to see more of DC than your cousin's house that you drop them off to on your way down to party? Florida is hot as hell but it doesn't stop you from going with your boys/girls. Why not take your kids? Yeah, I am talking to you if you think I am talking to you. Someone needs to. We are GROWN dammit. Let's act like. Play time is over ladies and gentleman. Or at least it isn't THE TOP PRIORITY ANYMORE. I know some of you just got your money, your looks, your whole aura right but NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SLACK UP ON YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. It is time to actually start acting like a real parent. I promise you that the hole in the walls that ya'll are going to will still be standing when we get back...lol They ain't going nowhere. They might change the name on it though. I can't promise it will be named the same thing. But them mofos ain't changing. No one is saying don't go out either. No. Just pick and choose and spend some time with your kids man. That's all I am saying. For some of you though, you are about to hit that age with them that they will DICTATE what you do themselves. What? You thought they were gonna stay portable forever? They grow up ya know! lol Hang in there though, this too shall be short lived and the next thing you know, we will be sending off into the real world.


If you are single and unhappy, you already know what you need to do. I don't have to get specific. Cut the dead weight, get off your rump and get it done. If you know me like that, you know you can always come through here and catch a getaway but pouting down there ain't going to change shit. Only you can. Put that pint of ice cream down, go the gym, follow that lil list you keep making up and tacking up on the wall and get to getting. Times a wasting..Some of you don't know how good you got btw. It is really REAL IN THE FIELD and a lot of you are sheltered from it. You should be stacking right now. I know many of you are planning a big move. It ain't never going to be perfect so if you are waiting on that, you better get comfy. You will be where ever it is you are at for a good long minute. You gotta just do it man and guess what? You won't be the first person to STRUGGLE and you won't be the last. Stop watching these videos, falling into the trap that life is REALLY LIKE THAT. There is more to life than "We doing it like a baller' theme nights at the club. (And way more than half of those in attendance to those functions are faking it.)


Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.....And yes I do it too. You don't think I liked my life before? Sheeit..You are delusional if you think I didn't enjoy some aspects of it. ..But this one I am making now is rounding into shape nicely thank you. You ain't think I would touch that did you? I know....I keep hearing lil things so I thought I would touch it a lil bit...Not too much though. Just a lil bit. This adventure isn't hassle free but I don't miss all the hassles and worries that I had before. Yes, there are new hassles and worries but these can be handled and I wouldn't want the hassles from the past for nothing. I see ya'll out there stressing about this and that. I am GLAD I don't have to that shit. For real.


Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. Learn HOW TO COMMUNICATE with your spouse. Stop arguing with your man or woman like they are a stranger in the streets. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. It all sounds simple but I promise you people ARE NOT DOING THESE THINGS and this is a HUGE part of the problem we have as people. Be accepting of the truth as it is given to you. Often times, you don't have to listen to the Steve Harvey's, the Oprah's or HELL EVEN ME, if you just look at what is in front of you in it's totality. (That means look at the WHOLE PICTURE. Not just the drama inducing parts of the situation) Your answer is usually right there and 9-10 times outta ten you are either part of the problem AND PART OF THE SOLUTION to it.

Yeah, I am ranting. But I can do that. I ain't spitting about shit I "think" I know. I know it. So pay attention dammit.
