1. "And when the groove is dead and gone/ You know that LOVE survives/ so we can rock forever on" - Michael Jackson "Rock With You" 2. God bless Michael, Farrah, Chasity Turner, little Jada Justice, and their families 3. Live your life yall.  4. Go out and find joy. Make your own damn joy if you gotta. Just be joyful! 5. So I think I get that BET was trying to save time by not bothering to go through the nominees before they announced the award winners....but what was up with Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo performing 3 times each?!?!?!! 6. And as for the BET Awards show overall.....welp I'll chalk it up to them only having 3 days after Michael's passing to change it up. Period. 7. Oh and one more thing.....after her performance is it safe to say that Beyonce is slowly but surely changing into the black Barbara Striesand? 8. Artest to the Lakers? If you cant beat 'em you join 'em I guess lol 9. It's gonna be a really different NBA this year folks 10. "...but slip up and shoot the wrong fucking video/ and they think they can market you however that they decide to!' - Drake "Say What's Real" 11. And he said ...

"And when the groove is dead and gone/ You know that Love survives/ So we can rock forever....." - "Rock With You" To actually be in Los Angeles as all this has went in down is beyond surreal. There really doesnt seem to be sufficient words to say all that should be said. Or perhaps it's that nothing really needs to be said?  There were singers/entertainers...........and then there was Michael. Have you any idea of what it's like to arguably be THE most famous person on the planet for 25 or so years?!?!!? There isnt a continent, let alone country that you can go to and it not be an event. The pressure! And yet he was still human. Still the quiet and shy kid from Gary, Indiana that loved to sing and dance. It just so happened that he sung and danced exceptionally well. So well that it put him on a global stage that was more demanding of any one person than basic humanity should allow. Above and beyond anything else, he was an extraordinary human being that contributed great gifts to just about all our lives. And THAT is how he should be remembered. THAT is how I am going to remember ...

Last week a friend of mine and I were discussing relationships (lol...been doing that alot lately it seems) and the topic of Soulmates came up. So maybe Im looking at it with a lil too much reality and the such....but the notion of a 'soulmate' is absolutely ridiculous when you really think about it. What is a soulmate? The one person in the world that you were born to be with and vice versa. WTF? Does that really make sense? Cant you just get along really well with someone? Is compatibility not enough? Must it be 'soulmates'?!!?!? Most people live in the same city for the majority of their life looking for their soulmate? If Im in Chicago...how ignorant would I have to be to assume my soulmate was also in Chicago. What if my soulmate is in Iceland or some shit. What if they were born 30 years before or after me?...b/c you know people always assume their soulmate is in the same age range. Dont get me wrong....Im probably the most fairytale ending wishing, head in the clouds, dreaming, sentimental dude you've ever came across in your life, but the notion of just one person meant for me to truly ...

"It's hard to be a spiritual being when shit is shaking what you believe in!" - Talib Kweli When the bills pile up faster than you can pay them, and your significant other aint acting right for whatever reason, and you cant have a good day at work for crying out loud, and life shows you it's shitty side......how do you pull through? Who or what do you believe in that helps you maintain? I've recently had a friend die unexpectedly, and the sibling of a friend succumb to cancer, topped off by falling behind on some bills becuz I tried to help people out, and at times it just seems I cant win for losing! It all just seems a bit too much for any one person to have to shoulder and bear. But you know what? I feel pretty good. And while Im not exactly sure that what doesnt kill you makes you stronger (becuz it's my belief that you may not die, but you can still be pretty fucked up for a long time), I do know that with time ANYTHING is possible. In time, you heal and learn to deal with people's passing. In time, you'll catch up on those bills ...

Dear Mr. Limbaugh, I don't  even know where to start with you. Stating that 'I wish you'd hurry up and die already' may strike some as being extremely harsh or even hateful, but when at all possible I try to call a spade a spade so to speak. So yeah....I wish you'd hurry up, keel the fuck over, and croak already. Now.....you may find yourself asking WHY I feel so strongly and why I hope that you'd permanently STFU. Well, to be quite honest with you, I think you're  asshole. It's one thing to have your opinion.  But to spew the kind of hateful, non-logical, divisive, vile, and insensitive rhetoric you spew and then hide behind just 'wanting to maintain America's values'??!!?!?!? Lemme not even get started on the "values" America was founded on. That's a whole other blog. My favorite example of your glowing hypocrisy is the drug thing. Remember that time you had said that “anyone who uses drugs illegally should be dragged onto the street and shot”? Remember? You were there when you said it in case you don't recall. But then what had happened Rush? Oh that's right.... It came to light that YOU were struggling with your own illegal drug ...

1. "Just give me a minute/ I betcha er'thang gon turn out lovely/ Just give me a minute/ Imma be alright.....just trust me!" - "Bubba Sparxxx "Lovely" 2. And I start this one off with that quote becuz dammit Im finna do some venting on this list. I think we're going to '50' on this like we usta do! 3. Stick around and read if you like. If not....I'll see ya when I see ya I guess 4. I hate to say it but....I got some straight up niggers in my family 5. And yes with the 'er' as opposed to the 'a' at the end. 6. You try to help niggers and they just shit all over you! 7. Damn shame these mugs is my blood....came out my daddy nut sac just like me and I gotta cut them off! 8. Learn the power of saying 'NO' my good people 9. It will save you TONS of grief down the line.....trust! 10. "Tell me now/Can you make it past your Caspers?/ So we can finally fly off into NASA/....We were never meant to be/Baby we just happened/ So PLEEEEASE dont mess up the trick/ Hey Young World...Im the new Slick Rick/ They say I move too quick/but we ...

So maybe you think Im doing too much and perhaps it all seems a bit too soon but baby Im ready to get to the good part and I dont wanna wait a single day longer I know you dont think you're ready but perfect timing is just a figment of the imagination. Sometimes you just gotta jump at it when you have the chance Its all trial and error No one really knows for sure how it goes I figure everyone has their own opinion of it but as long as you are willing to meet your partner in the middle I suspect you'll be alright in the end So....you ready to ride this rocket love to the sky and beyond my Golden Lady? Hold on tight now becuz the ride may get bumpy at times and you know they WILL try to shoot us down Its not everyday that anyone gets to go on this trip, ya know? Let me know when you're ready I'll be out front revving the rocket Inspiration : Listening to too many damn (Stevie) love songs, knowing Love is imperfect, and all the different angles and situations of Love.

This one here was inspired by my homegirl @arounddawaygyrl (Thats her twitter handle if you arent hip to twitter just yet). So she sends out the tweet with the link and I clicked on it and I was just blown away. I just cant fathom how or why you'd want yourself to be seen like this! And so it got me to thinking.....in this age of youtube and reality tv stars, it's not really that hard to make yourself "famous" for all the wrong reasons if that's what your main objective is. You have the "Why Must I Cry" dude, the "In The Butt" dude *pause*, cant forget T-Baby singing bout how cold it is "In The D", and even the classic joint by Tay Zondray "Chocolate Rain" (37 million hits and counting!) that got him on The Jimmy Kimmel show! Least we mention the pure Niggerdom of such joints as "Fry That Chicken", "Let Me Smell Yo Dick" and so on and so forth. I guess my point of this all is......is fame THAT alluring? To the point that you will shame your family name to be "famous"? I cant imagine being an internet smash singing "Why Must I Cry" and then ...

1. "There is nothing special about me.....I am just a little star/ If you try to reach out and touch me/ you'll see that....I'm not really that far/ I may not be the brightest nor am I the last one you'll see/ but as long as I'm noticed/ that's just fine with me" - Kelis Feat. Cee-Lo "Lil Star" 2. Yo no lie....this song has been on repeat for like the last 30 hour as I type this 3. It's a weird mix of melancholy, humble and reflective I think 4. Whatever the case I simply can not stop listening to it 5. Swine Flu?............*shrug* 6. Maybe, just maybe with the recession going like it is....the health industry put this shit in the air so it can get it's loot up 7. I mean they fucking injected unsuspecting humans with syphillis once upon a time to see its affect on them so I cant put shit past none of these government agencies 8. But is it me or are ALL the symptoms of the "swine flu" kinda identical to the regular ass flu flu? 9. Like my girl @Slim_Goodie said "First Anthrax, mad cow disease, SARS, west nile disease, flesh eating bacteria, bird flu, etc. Now it's ...
