Im on so other ish

This weekend was spent on the water. I have a friend who has a boat and has been telling me to come and check him. I finally did it and am officially hooked on boating. We chilaxed all weekend , those boaters have a whole sub-culture going on that us landwellers have no clue about. You think your doing it pulling up to the club in your Audi A4, but you have no idea until you pull up to McCormick and Schmidtts at the Inner Harbor on a boat! I think the key is to not own the boat just have a friend who has one because, it seemed like alot of work when the weekend was over and I just wanted to hope in the A4 and speed back to Harm-City.

So todays lesson is that life is short and you should live it to the fullest. Enjoy shit and dont let things get you down. The theme this weekend was "Life is good" as you downed an ice cold brewski on the back of a boat.

P.S. The world does rotate, Just not around you!

Jail guards investigated in inmate death


As soon as I read this story I smelled a rat. Not a racist rat just a rat. You mean to tell me this guy ran over the police, then the police who are in charge of policing took him to a place where the police are in charge of other police and looked him a jail cell by himself and he ended up dead. Then you bring in the FBI (police) to investigate the other police who were supposed to be guarding this guy at the police station. Im not justifying anything but this is unfair. Yes man, it is unfair that he killed another person but thats supposedly why we have police so we dont have complete chaos right. I guess its a thin line but one you cant cross. The writing is on the wall and anyone with a nose can smell this one a mile away. As my grandpop used to say, it stinks to high heaven!

writers bloc

OK so I know its been a long time but when you have several different sets of friends you tend to get lost, I had to give my blogging friends a break because to be honest, sometimes I dont want to think alot about things. I was in Brazil and it was everything I ever imagined it to be. We partied until the sun came up, Stumbled home and crashed, woke up whenever, went to the beach, got something to eat and did it all over again for 10 straight days, I was gonna come home and immediatly blog about my experience but that might incriminate me so I dumbed it down to the picture you see before you. All that to say my writers bloc is kinda over and my creative juices are starting to flow sorta. Their have been a few things going on in the world that demamd and deserve my immediate attention. Peace to Tam, Ginneh, Joy, Amina, Kosa, Sala and Dr. Fords daughter.

Coco Tea - Barak Obama

OK - Even though I voted for Barak in the primaries I still had my doubts, I always figured the evils forces at work would have several devices in back pockets to prevent such a thing. That chick still didnt 100% concede yet, she is "suspending" her campaign? WTF?

FREE SLICK RICK!!!!!

It was a blazin hot summer day between 6th and 7th grade around 230 in the afternoon. We were at the playground when Mark Turner came over with a tape recorder. he played this joint right here and my life was changed forever. I was already in love with hip hop but this song sealed the deal. It was Howard (RIP), Tony, Darren and Vada. I remember it like it was now. I asked Mark if I could hold the tape but of course he said no. This was back when it wasn't so cool to be darkskinned but we will save that for another time.

I know I will always take KRS over Nelly or Run-DMC over Lil Wayne, The Fat Boys over T.I. or The Beastie Boys over Chingy. Maybe I sound like my dad when he hears an oldie on the radio and always says, " Now that was when music was music, that stuff you listen to now blah blah blah..." Well dad, sorry for always drowning you out, now I wish I would have listened to the blah blah blah part, probably some good stuff.


Slick Rick is officially a free man, compliments of NY Governor David Patterson.

Nothing astonishes men more than plan dealing and common sence!!

In my absence I came up with a set of rules to live by.......


The measurement of my finger from the tip to the first joint is 1 inch...depth for planting peas.
The measurement to the second joint is 2 inches...depth for corn.
Return borrowed things in better shape than when you borrowed them.
There are two types of trouble...one is the trouble you knowingly walk into, the other is trouble that just happens...it's important to know the difference.
Walk softly but carry a big stick.
if you have to use said stick, make sure who you use it on, doesn't get up.
Grits is good.
Foul language is a sign of a limited vocabulary
Orion, the Big and Little Dippers.
Everyone is a friend until proven otherwise.
Licorice ferns, huckleberries, nettles, sword ferns.
Tabasco won't kill you even if you eat it by the spoonfull.
Don't watch the clock when you're at work.
Fish can see you if you look over the side of the boat.
Fish can hear you if you talk to loud.
Respect the elders.
Never go to bed angry.
That which does not kill you will hurt like the dickens, but it will make you stronger.
Family is the most important thing on earth.
How to play the guitar, spoons, mouth harp, and water filled bottles.
The true meaning of "Self Made Man"
If you don't know something, go to the library and learn it.
The phrases "I don't know", "I forgot", or "I tried (and failed)" are excuses.
There is a difference between an excuse and a reason, know the difference.
Take care of your apperance...even if it is just a t-shirt and jeans.
The world can change everything about you, except your point of view...unless you allow it to.

Your actions effect others..... IDIOTS

Zack Sowers ARTICLE

This is a sad state of affairs. I am guilty of not really caring unless the tragedy hits close to home and believe me in the past couple of years, Tragedy has had a room at my house. This is no different because I’ve been that dude walking home slightly tipsy from Fells or Canton all by my lonesome through Patterson Park. I don’t feel bad for Zack because he’s not here anymore, I feel terrible for all the people he left behind. I feel so bad for his wife and family and friends, then I start to think what if something like that happened to me, how my mother would take it, man I don’t even want to think about it. What influence would that have on my son? What about all my friends, my sisters? I know for a fact that most people aren’t nearly as sensitive as I am but my heart feels so bad for them. I didn’t cry when Dukie fell off but I was very upset.(shut up Ginneh, Nikki and Dany) I know these dudes were black or Spanish or whatever and by know I usually have my guns loaded and I’m ready to hit the Jesse/Rev Al warpath but this time I don’t even have the energy. Regardless of what color anybody was I feel terrible for the people left behind. Maybe if you’re reading this and you’re feeling like doing whatever, please think about the effect your actions will have on others.

Tuskegee Is The Pride Of The Swift Growing South

I know I know its been a minute. I just got put on to this Web-site for my School. its more like a myspace but only for Tuskegee University. My home-girl Tammy put me on and its like being back at school all over again. You dont realize how much your college friends really mean to you. Its been about 12 years since I finished and most of my friends on this page are all grown up and married/divorced with kids and jobs and responsibilities and its crazy. I remember when getting the lemons for tequila Friday was the order of the day. Its great to see all my friends doing well and enjoying life it seems. I havent been to homecoming since I left but 08 seems like it might be the year!

She Like me, she tolerate me, she hate me?

So I was chatting it up with the crew the other day, you know kicking the Willie bobo's, after we decided that if Majic Johnson had to play Air Jordan right now that Majic would win that game and a supersonic hydo-boosted skateboard with nitros would beat a pair of rollerskates equipped with jets for each skate plus a big fan strapped to your back , we got on the subject of females. If you like a chick more than she likes you then its curtains and vice versa. For us dudes when you like that chick you will do it all, thats what I call the loveydovey stage. Everybody is perfect in that stage, corny jokes are funny as hell, when you have to wait like 6 hours for her to be ready it wasnt no big deal, when she ordered some shit that cost twice what you ordered it wasnt a thang. As soon as that stage is over is when you can tell if its gonna work. Jokes arent as funny, your patience ass aint so paitience, your pockets just got alittle tighter. If youll can make it through that stage then its on and poppin. We also decided that if your girl comes home late at night and her socks are pulled all the way up she was cheating, this means she just pulled then up when she was getting dressed like 15 minutes ago.

P.S. The Incredible Hulk is faster then the Bionic Man but they have to race on a smooth surface because the Hulk dosent have shoes!

EPMD was better than TRIBE

We would rather have a ugly girl than a pretty monster

Wal Mart is crack

I think I hate everything Wal-Mart stands for or maybe im just venting. When your opening statement to me is "I dont work in this department plus Im on break." then I peep your name tag and it says ALEXUS and then I ask you if you could maybe possibly find it in your kind heart to please, no wait, pretty please with fresh new pair of doorknocker earrings with a matching gold tooth to match, point me in the right direction before you finish texting because I know you hate your job and you hate dealing with people but for some unknown reason you took a job as a customer service rep at a place where people might probably need some help and god forbid they ask you because right under ALEXUS it does say ASK ME FOR HELP I mean what the hell was I thinking?

Respect Your Elders

Remember when all your mother had to do was look at you? Remember when you went to the mall on a half-day and Derrick McCains mom called everybodies parents and told? I used to be mortified of adults in my neighborhood especially when I was up to no good. My mom worked two jobs so I should have been good right? Hell no, those nosey snooping other parents were so quick to bust my bubble. I used to hate them but now all I can say is good-looking.

I specifically remember the one time I talked back to my mother and trust, It didnt end up good for me, I also remember like it was yesterday the one time I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes. The purpose of this blog was because I was at my sons school the other day and the parent was cussing out the teacher in front of the student, im sure because Lil Mike-Mike was an asshole in class. You could look at his mother and tell exactley why he was what he was. When does respect start. I was always taught to repect old folks no matter what. I was taught that when grown folks are speaking you shut up and be still. Children are to be seen and not heard and all that. We need to get back to those days ASAP!
