Ain't shit, just chillin....

As I view the PROGRAMMING from time to time, I notice a wave of new game shows and reality shows. Call me old school, but I miss the days of the sitcoms which could help shape your view of the world in a positive way. For example, the game shows such as "Deal or No Deal" which I like may be telling us that hey its all about that dollar. Or the reality shows, especially the ones on cable, really go over the edge with the types of abominable subject matter that the young ones are exposed to. I like some of them fuh sho but our kids are exposed to grown folks stuff.

I haven't written in a while so bare with a bruh until I can get my mojo back. Anyway, I think you'll be able to feel me.

Nevertheless, shows like "A Different World", "Growing Pains", or "Family Ties" helped me to want a good life and inspired me to go to college because I wanted to experience what I saw on the tube. It's just like the issues I have with music. So I guess is an issue of the mass media. I feel like I sound like one of the elders that opposed my music and choice of shows. Nevertheless, as we approach and embrace this "brave new world" our children are zoning out in classes and processing all this decadence.

I don't know. SHIT! I just wanted to get my juices flowing again before I start on my book. I have a long ways to go given my lack of writing and lack of creative initiative. Recently I started a drawing which expounds upon and idea that has been in my mind for years. To see it, gives that feeling of giving birth to something. And I like the feeling. My job as a case worker is stressful. My lady is going through major drama with work and her children's father and I have no way to vent but by re-engaging into the arts. I've recently regained my drive and motivation. It's crazy because I allowed one of my clients to steal my energy. As a matter of fact this will be my next topic, This mother(who is fucked up) and her fucked up kids. I know it sounds fucked up but you'll get the picture when I touch the topic.

Hip Hop in 06

Quick question... In a year when many classic acts are rumored to be on the return, how in the hell can Dro, Joc, and Jibbs be the hot releases of the summer? See, I remember the summer of 96 when Outkasts' "Atliens", De La Soul's "Stakes is High", Heltah Skeltah's "Nocturnal", Tribe Called Quest's "Beats, Rhymes, and Life", and Nas' "It was Written all dropped". I just want to know why the music industry is so biased against good music. Well, we all have a good idea; but the listeners who like the less creative music need to be blamed because the industry caters to what is mainstream. But Y IZ DAT?

And in 2006 the NBA Championship Returned to the EAST.....

....my brotha to the EAST my brotha to the EAST. And that big dude they call Shaq returned EAST to bring it. But I ain't really a Shaq fan. D-Wade that's my nukka. But its going to be a couple of years before he or Bron-Bron will dethrone Kobe. Kobe is still the best in the league (all around) and any true baller or student of the game knows this. Yo, any fan that keeps up with highschool, college, and pro levels has to be happy to see Derek Anderson, Jason Williams, Antwan Walker, Alonzo Mourning, James Posey, and Gary Payton get those rings. Now, that's what's up.

And why did Shaq just totally diss and fail to acknowledge Phil Jackson on nationally T.V. Before there was Phil there was Pat Riley with the great Laker teams of the 80's and Magic, Byron Scott, and all them guys but c'mon Shaq, you were just mad that Kobe was better than you. And you will never ever come close to the greatness of Hakeem "the dream" Olojuwan despite your 5 rings, so your cashmere thoughts of being mentioned in the same breath as Bill Russell, mayne gone head with that hogwash.

I have to admit that it brings music to my ears everytime I ponder the championship being back in the EAST. From whence the source of light shines...for the next year at least.....One

HAPPY JUNETEENTH

We're still not there though.

To All My Road Dogs Who No Longer Roll.........

CATCH A BROTHA A THE CROSSROAAAADS.

Late Entry: T.O. in Dallas. What's your take?

Quite frankly, I've never been a huge fan of Terrel Owens. However, I respect game and T.O. is a phenomenal football player. He is a Jerry Rice/Michael Irvin/Tony Gonzales type receiver. The guy blocks, has speed and great hands, and plays with heart. The irony in the situation rest with the past Dallas emblem antic which transpired when he was with San Fran.....but he apologized years ago and is quickly gaining the favor of his new fans. I think T.O. will do some big things with Dallas and it doesn't hurt that Drew Bledsoe will be pitching to him. I will bet 500 dollars right now that this guy does more than surprise everyone....sheeyat...iz u crazy? Not after the way he snubbed the Ravens. I won't say he snubbed the Eagles, the media hurt his image on that one. I mean of course he did some wack ish but he was ridden too hard for that. Anyway, what's your take fam?

Fork in the Road

What's good fam? Today's post is dedicated to recent struggles I'm having regarding life decisions. I have been able to transition out of the human services field successfully and am now determined to take my plight to another level. I'm ready to bust my ass and go for what I want and not be afraid to take the necessary risk. I have credentials and I have some connections. I write, sing, rhyme and have done a little acting before. And I have connections in each of those areas. I'm having a problem deciding which of these things I'm the best at right now so that I may be able to focus and perfect that talent. This is not to say that I don't want to perfect all of these talents but right now I am struggling mightily with the process. I'm 28 which means that I am still young but then again time waits on no man. And I got so many bills..bills...bills.....bills. I work a lot and will soon be working more thus a lot less time will be dedicated to working on perfecting whichever craft I deem the most sharpened. I'm proud because in the mist of all this, I've managed to lay down two new songs. Although still untitled, they are formiddable tracks. But anyway, I think that I may have to stop smoking cigarettes in order to help me save more scrilla. Its a shame that I don't contemplate quitting for health reasons because, after all, I'm am a health fanatic. But anyway, that's about all for now. I just wanted to get some ish off my chest.

To everyone out there...STAY UP and if you're a hater stop hating.
