#IMJUSTSAYING

I've been thinking about taking another break from social networks again.  Shit just aint fun anymore.  When u have to walk on eggshells to say or do what u want, what part of that is being social?  I'm finding that whatever I post on Facebook people wanna dissect and try to add their 2 cents.  Shit I write aint about u so sit the fuck down.  You're not that important and if your name isn't stated it's not about u!

I'm having a similar problem on Twitter.  I don't tweet for pussy, laughs, or fame.  I state whatever is on my mind at the time.  I thought that was the point of twitter...guess not.  I also like to retweet.  The button is there for a reason and it's a form of communication.  I would love to be able to use Twitter without retweeting people.  That way I can just talk about stupid shit that nobody gives a fuck about.  But I'm not a boring ass person so there's a better chance of pigs racing in Nascar.  DEAL WITH IT!!

I just wish people would mind their fucking business and just do them cause I always do me.  I'm not one of those bitch asses that complain about deleting accounts for attention so I'm not going anywhere.  I think I'm gonna just fall back from participating for awhile though

Issues With Commitment

I've been doing some thinking lately and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not getting married and possibly not having kids.  I don't have commitment issues at all.  My problem is finding willing to commit.

Commitment: to show loyalty, duty or pledge to something or someone

I've found that more than half the women who are in a rush to commit don't even know what the meaning of it is.  As a child little girls are taught that Prince Charming will come one day and sweep them off their feet.  That's the problem!  They're not taught what to do get the prince to notice them and then live happily ever after.  Or that there are more than one prince trying to get in the way (Prince Spend Money, Prince Lie To U, Prince Closet Gay, etc.).    Some women have a habit of rushing into a relationship and wanting the get married and have 2.5 kids with the big house.  If that doesn't happen in their time frame or the way that THEY want it then they will keep kissing frogs.  I may not be a prince but I'm far from a frog!!

I know there are quite a few faithful women left (and not just the ones that make it sound good on paper) but until I find my princess I'm gonna live the single life!

I'm Single

I have a problem.  Well it's not exactly a problem, but it is a gift and a curse.  I have trust issues sumthin serious.  Sure I've been in some pretty fucked up relationships before but I believe the root of the problem is much deeper.  It aint too many muthafukkas that I trust at all...family included.  I go into a relationship with my guards up from jump.  Not so much for fear of getting hurt, but to prevent it from happening all together.  I can honestly say I've only been in love twice.  The second time I'm not even sure it was love...more like a long lust.  Some say I need to snap out of it but with the outcome of my last few relationships FUCK THAT!  So until I find the woman that will love me and is willing to show me instead of tell me, I'm single!!  Will I ever get married?  Who know?  At this point it's not looking like it's in my future...

An Ode to Nikki

I wish more young women were like her

Smiley Faces

One thing I cannot and will not tolerate is a fake.  Funny cause I know too many of em.  People who swear up and down they don't like someone but will sit up in their face all laughing and giggling.  Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit!  Or worse, the one's that don't say shit to u but when they around certain people all of a sudden got the gift of gab.  For some reason saying that you're "real" is played out.  Not to me it aint cause I'm as real as they come.  I will make it real obvious if i don't fuck with someone.  I don't care if we the only people in a room, u gets no convo from me.  u need companionship...u better go buy a dog!  I fell back from a lot of shit cause I've noticed the fake shit from a lot of people that i wouldn't expect.  But hey...u like it, I love it.  Miss me with the dumb shit.  I move a lil different

What's Next

Nearly a year ago me and some friends decided to come together and start a magazine.  A lot have changed since then; Line up change, loss of support and my partner being blessed with carrying twins.  But as Puffy would say "Can't stop!  Won't stop!"  We still here and will be moving forward in the new year.  We are not a movement or a fad at all!  The formula has changed and we are now What's Next Entertainment.  Be on the lookout for the online magazine, parties/events, clothing line (nah I'm kidding), and maybe even artist management

Blah

I've been feeling kinda out of it the past few days and I have no idea why.  Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon.  Sorry for the lack of updates, I just haven't had much to say lately

Hip Hop is Dying

Nas once said hip hop is dead.  I really didn't want to believe him but I have no choice but to face the facts.  I once was madly in love with hip hop.  it may sound cliche, i fell in love the first time I heard the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight".  I don't know what it was abut the song it was my first hit and like a fiend i was hooked.  Lately though that love has slowly diminished into dislike.  I once blamed Puffy for watering down what was dark and gritty but informative at the same time.  but now i blame the record industry and the "Y generation".  These are the people who are not quite old or smart enough to appreciate quality.

Today's top rappers are Gucci Mane, Waka Flaka Flame, Soulja Boy (all of which are from Atlanta), and Nicki Minaj (I'll get into that later).  None of them can freestyle, actually spit 16 bars, or can speak proper English.  But this is who is ruling the rap game?  why is Black Thought, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def barely ever mentioned anymore.  I bet if u ask the 106 & Park crowd they wouldn't even know who they are.  10-15 years ago these same...dare I say artist would have went triple wood and would be working at Walmart by now.  All u need is a hot beat and no lyrical skill to get by nowadays.

Now on to Nicki "Plastic Woman" Minaj.  In 1997 I watched a The Come Up DVD.  I wanted to check out a new up and coming female rapper.  I saw her video and was smitten.  Not only was she pretty but she could rap.  My first thought was as soon as Foxy and Kim get their shit together they have competition.  Fast forward to today and I can honestly say... I HATE NICKI MINAJ!!!  I hate her stupid faces, her stupid sound effects, and the fact that she is blowing up off the stupid shit.  He gets praise for her corny shit but incredible femcees such as Jean Grae, and Ursula Rucker are unknown.  I prayed that the stupid shit was just a gimmick to get her name out there, but with every chicken head from BK to San Francisco embracing it, I don't see it stopping anytime soon. 

Hip Hop needs is definitely in cardiac arrest.  There are a few artist, such as Joell Ortiz, who are trying to bring back it's luster.  But with little press from record labels, and media platforms such as BET I don't see that happening.  So until then I'll keep listening to Golden Era ('88-'89) rap and Neo Soul.

The Beginning of a Genocidal Legacy

October 12th 1492 was the day Christopher Columbus set out and "discovered" a new land...at least that's what u were taught in history class.  For me and countless Americans of all races and colors, it's the day that a murderer and thief took credit for sumthin that already existed.  As part Native American I never condoned his actions and i knew the truth at an early age.  I remembering questioning my teacher in 2nd grade about the liar only to get in trouble for "disrupting the class".  Sure we get a day off of work and there's always a party to "celebrate", people need to realize what the celebration is about.  Columbus opened up the slave trade and was the cause of the genocide of the Native Americans

Lazy Days

Today has been pretty uneventful.  I just layed around, watched the games, and ate all day.   Starting next week I'll pick things up around here (time permitting)

The more things change, the more they remain the same...

I got a call at 6 am.  Now normally I would have just rolled over and ignored it, but with all that's been going on with my fam I answered (stupid cause barely any of my fam have my new #).  So I'm tired and still fucked up and it's the last person i thought it would be.  She's rambling about a whole bunch of dumb shit and basically nothing has changed.   I promise u I will not be suckered again!!

First Entry

Yeah it's damn near 4 AM!  I don't give a damn...I'll sleep when you're dead!!
