I forgot how much I loved his first cd.

So what up fam? You had a good Thanksgiving? I did and since you're here ima hold u hostage and tell u all about it.

Well I drove many many miles on Thanksgiving morning to make it to Houston by mid-afternoon, after that I ate a bit much and found myself catchin the itis.

friday began at 5 am at Macy's and ended somewhere after a relaxing pedicure.

wait, I must pause this j. depps version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this joint is hilarious! I watched the first one for the first time about 2 weeks ago, but I'm loving this one. sorry, cause i know ima get some ish about this.

awww what the heck, i really only wanted to tell ya'll bout the concert, oh and melting pot...
the concert was dope. john legend and robin thicke! whoooooo "my hands up. my hands up. they want me with my hands up...shooter!"

here are some pics







concert was dope but it my feet were killing me by begging of robin thicke's set so I took my chances and removed the killer shoes. I thought I was gonna be the only pair of deerrty feet in the house but I was wrong, I went to grab for my shoes at one point in the night but had to search for them amongst all of the people who were standing around me shoes.

Oh yeah, this one girl fainted. I hope she's alrite, they were between sets at the time. You know we were all plottin to faint once john legend came on so that we could've been rushed backstage only to be greeted by johnny once his set was over...what???

eh

oh The Melting Pot. dope. great date place. though i went with my favorite cuzins. we stayed there for like 3 hrs. omg, the dessert. here are some pics


why won't the rest of my pics post???? Huh???? HUH????? oh well i should be finishing my schedule for next semester anyway. gotta hurry, i missed the wire last night i gotta catch up tonite.

Happy Early Thanksgiving Day ya'll!!!

i gotta hustla's spirit. period.

after I listen to this

"Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away"

(c) John Mayer

I always listen to this

"Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!"

(c) don't evenmuch play, u know who

I'm sick ya'll. I feel horrible. I'm trying to get over this by Thursday cause I'm not trying to do my cross-south-country if i'm sick

Oh, go see Deja Vu. dope. saw it last week but forgot to blog about it

Paula Patton reminds me of Halle Berry in some scenes from the movie.

Nelly furtado reminds me of Madonna, idunno why. but I'm watchin the american music awards and she just does

I thought this was the best source of KKKramer news

damn, and i was such a Seinfeld show fan. I was flippin channels last night and I saw Seinfeld was on Davie Letterman so I tuned in only to see KKKramer there via satellite. He caught me off guard by saying "I'm not a racist, yet I found myself saying racist remarks" This is where I insert the spade calling quote.

Why is this always the first thing people who use or are about to use racist remarks say "I'm not a racist but..." But nothing.

That's the same foolishness we all say "I'm not trying to be messy but..." That's B.S. Yes you are the biggest ____________ that you are claiming not to be.

that's all ima say bout that

I could sure go for some homemade gumbo right about now. Let's play "who's moved back to new orleans and has a fully working kitchen" damn. some of ya'll don't know the half. It's during the holidays that I fully notice the long lasting effects of Katrina. Of course I pass devastated areas EVERYday, neighborhoods without electricity, more than half of the schools in Orleans parish failing to reopen, sky high rent, electricity bills, price gouging at its best in the grocery store, fights with the insurance company, nails in my tires from the construction or lack of within the entire city (and let me remind u how expensive suv tires are...i'm ride dem thangs til the wheels fall off), sky high non moving vehicle violation fees, later hours of parking meters so that they can give you a ticket resulting in you having to pay the previous mentioned ticket fees.

but i miss my family being five minutes away, instead of the 5 hr ride to houston, i miss my family being in a comfortable house, instead of cramped up in a small apt or a fema trailer, I miss the smell of gumbo, stuffed bell peppers, shrimp and crabmeat dressing, sweet potato pies, pecan pies, red beans on Monday, greens on Wednesday, catfish on Fridays with a lil potato salad on the side. I just miss the lil things u know

I can't believe the day for givin thanks is this week! plus the 5 hr drive to h-town that morning. ughhhhhhh

I'm watchin this jay z diary special now on mtv "we claim we from the hood. we're not from the hood. this is the hood"

h2O

is memphis bleek still rappin? just askin. i think i just saw his signature wavecap and oversized cap. i wasn't a real makin eazy money pimpin hoes in style fan

ehhh. what more can i say?

I went to support my neighborhood community big/smalltime broadway play

those kids were ridiculous, if ya'll get a chance to peep it on BET, please do, but don't leave it on that channel once the show is over. thanks

I promise PSA is my fav song on Black Album, everytime I hear that joint I wild out.
ridiculous

Just in case ya'll keeping count, I ended up getting season 3 of The Wire, so all I'm missing is season 2.


this my fav. scene from this season:



Omar is a fool. so gangsta. i think? lol

"everything that happens
happens for a reason
and one man's forever
might be God's season"
(c) Common

I've probably quoted this at least 3 times in my blog alone, but, how do you know when the season has past? God's will is a strange thing. Not strange in weird or abnormal but strange in the way that it will be what it is, but it's on us to accept it.

I've been dealing with some issues of "am i staying in this one place to long" It was decent when it started and I've reaped tremendous benefits from it, but I think it's time. But here's where God's will comes in. Release from one situation to another won't always be mutually agreed upon. Trust. Sometimes you do have to go through that valley to get to the other side.

I guess I just need to reassure myself that it's gonna be alright.

I just get disappointed in how low people actually stoop for self gratification, and the means in which they justify their actions.

To you I say, "Dig a hole, go head & bury yourself!"

i mean that.

i still got some growing to do. i didn't say i was perfect!

U think the bet h.h. awards are rigged?

i do

were u not like "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
when lupe, papoose and styles p were freestylin

i got stuff to do. i shouldn't be watchin this.

im out like nagin after the election

no for real, dude is like car 54

a friday nite and i'm...bloggin??? whatupwitdat???

So after remembering I forgot to pay my car note online I left work and headed to Kinko’s to get a job done. When I finished there I strolled over to Blockbuster to view the selection. I rented MI3 and Thank You for Not Smoking. I then headed a few steps over to Stein Mart to see about exploiting my feet in some bronze pumps. I actually found 3 pairs of shoes, all for under $100!!!!!!!!

So let me formally introduce you to my new favorite pair of shoes:



Beauts.

So, I'm on cloud 9.5 walking back to my car when I notice the big ass flyer on my windshield. As I approach my car I notice that my front bumper is all scratched up...Oh, Hell ta da no!!!!

To make a long story short, the guy wants to settle w/out insurance companies involved. Cool son, but Ima need you to mosey on back in Kinko’s and make me copies of two sets of identification, and hold on...let me call this phone just to make sure this is your number...oh it is...cool. Now, I'm not upset. No use in crying over some lactose that has hit the floor, but Ima tell u what ima do:

Ima go home, cause it's been a hell of a week and my boss has already assumed I was putting in a couple of hours this weekend.

Take a nice hot shower.

Pay my car note and sign up for automatic bill pay.

Watch an episode or two of The Office

Try on my new shoes

Eat a chocolate puddin cup

tivo the best week ever

read the remaining pages of my book

get a lil shut eye

find two places around the city that will give me some estimates

and call you with my decision

Peace.

I've been in this place too long.

I have to switch up my wardrobe, for my season is about to change.

So we got a little cool front in the area; I wonder how long this will last. Feels good though. I even took one of my scarves out of retirement. :-p (I learned this today)

OMG, oh sorry, I thought I wasn't tivo'n The Office

I over read someone’s blog discussing the ways in which we sell ourselves. It went on saying; the only reason we enroll in college, and put ourselves through unnecessary scrutiny and drama is to have an end result of more cash in da bank.

I chuckled cause I think she's young, and finds ways to justify why she's got undeniable talent and smarts but is now 19, married and pregnant. She's awesome but doesn't know her capabilities. Doesn't know that the world still rests in the palm of her hand that she's stuck in her back pocket.

Yeah, some people do equate success with wealth and hey, who doesn't want a nice salary to compensate for the hard work you've put in school over the years? And yeah, I do agree that you are selling yourself in interviews, internships, etc. but, is that where the buck stops? No, it isn't as simple as the cash transaction would like to believe...and trust, if it was about the money, I would've steered clear and far from a degree in the Liberal Arts field. No need to get on the nerd track but, school is fulfilling to me as a person. It enables me to grasp and understand theories, techniques, methods, and the history to understand the world around me. A degree in this field helps me to enable those around me...if I allow it. As we all know Cash Rules Everything Around Me, get the CREAM (c) Wu. Nothing's free, so in that mind, I have to pay to get ahead, but once I'm up there, what can I do to level the playing field for others? What are you doing? And again, what is your definition of success?

and i'm out.

i gotta book to finish and an office to watch.

holla

I heart my adidas

that's all.

my pequeno post

Omg, fall weather is taking a hiatus from New Orleans.

I know, I know. So here's what I've been up to lately:

I got into grad school!!!!! I wish I could insert that Vonage jingle that was in Kill Bill I...let me see if I can find it...I could only find it on youtube and I thought they were pretty lame.

I hate everything apple except for the ipod...oh, and itunes. What in the hell is the deal with no right and left click buttons? I feel like this should be on an episode of Seinfeld. Today’s score:
Apple - 0, PC -1

Oh, and is The Office, not one of the funniest shows on television? I've been having Dwight call all of my friends. lol, this dude is hilarious!!!!!

I've been called to finish something I've started...I got cha
