Police: Man Shot Trying To Buy Craigslist Car

2009-02-18T16:54:00.000-08:00

So I came home from my basketball league game last night only to find the street and driveway into my apartment cut off. So I drove in through the side gate and then saw that the path and stairway to my apartment were cut off with caution tape. It was a crime scene. Man, I thought my apartment got burglarize. That's usually my first reaction since I have been robbed twice and my apartment stays fly. Anyway, to my relief that was not the case. So apparently, someone got shot in the surrounding area around 7:52 and wonder onto my complex looking for help. He was leaking blood on the sidewalk so they locked down the surrounding area for the investigation. I did a little research today and round the story. It was a craiglist robbery. Read story here, it was a setup from the get go. Victim wanted to purchase a vehicle, met up with the perp and the perp try to rob him. Some dread head, 300 pounds like 5'3 wearing colorful clothing, probably Coogi. That fool was a blob! took him over to the field by my house and pull a gun on dude. I think homie should have been privy to scam. Honestly, when doing craiglist's dealings, 1) its good if somebody accompanies you, like a friend. 2)Do dealings during the day. 3) Get as much information about either the sellers or buyer, which ever one you are. Anyway, that's my take. I'm out!

My Tax Dollars Gone To Waste

2008-09-18T20:05:00.000-07:00

So I am on my way to go study at Sac Sate today and I'm stuck at the light on Northgate Blvd and Garden Highway. So I am looking at the corner and I see a cop, giving a a ticket to a transient who had a sign and was probably begging for some change or will work for food or something like that, I didn't get to see it-On top of that the Officer Senor Porky told him to tear up the sign and drop it on the ground-The light change and I drove off looking back wondering 1). Will the officer make him pick the torn up sign off the ground and throw it away? Mind u, there were no trash containers around. Or did the officer just contribute to littering? 2). Once the ticket is given to the man, is he expected to pay? Like really, what was or is the point? I'm sure the guy didnt have ID and may have far more accumalations of tickets that could equal warrents, who knows. In which, he could wind up in jail for begging. Just begging for change cause he was either down on his luck or lazy. Whatever, all I can assume is if he was not getting arrested, he wasnt a perp or suspect in anything-I mean dude may have been a eye soar but he is not bothering me and he is not in the way of traffic, why do I care?-I'd rather give him some change then see him steal it from somebody else. But what I don't want is- for him to go jail for unpaid tickets for panhandiling, when a rapist or white collar corporate embezellar or murderer could kindly take his place-and yes, I put the white collar criminal on the same level...raping my hard earn tax dollars and killing my pockets-just like that officer wasting my tax dollars so he can give a ticket to a begger-who probably won't be paying that ticket off-I mean that has to be for show-right? And what about the sign litter on the ground-if i drive by and see that sign there tomorrow or some other day-Then I will surely know my Tax Dollars have been wasted-no wonder we are in a deficit-I know, one does not really affect the other-but whatever it sounds nice!

More Than Just...

2008-07-15T16:49:00.003-07:00

in my dreams, you more than, just exist
you're more than just some worldly wish,
you are my future, you are my man
my hot coco on a rainy day, you're
my chocolate M&M's, my Pecan Truffle,
my cold drink of water, on any thirsty day
in my dreams you are more than just my man
you're my love, my one day husband

My love puppy, my hope renewed
you're handsome smile, drives me wild,
the butter to my toast, the flames
that light my fire, you're the crown royal,
on top of my ice, I float in all that makes you

your smooth brown skin, your full sensual lips,
your strong hands and muscular build,
your natural warmth, your comforting hold,
Our love something only God can mold,
your swagger so bold, truth be told, you're
more than just my dream, you're a reality
I've seen, you're more than I imagined to complete me
you're more than, just...my man...

An Illusion of Confusion

2008-07-15T16:49:00.001-07:00

Confusion, please let this just be an illusion
but reality brings to me with sincerity, not
clarity that what I see and what I feel is so
real...unimagined, unaware, what is it that
makes you have to be so...

Lacking, sent packing and all so you could
feel that what you've lost is just a thought
moved forward without finishing what
you started, before, and now you can't ignore

It's yesterdays past, but so strongly today's
present and on the past I wrote to you
a dear John letter that I thought would
bring light and make things bright
but the subject matter so tattered and
old it seems even more now so bold

because the things I share are not things
untold but things you've made my reality
when you made it a point to disappoint
yourself and more over me

I'm glad you see, & to not be she
as I know I don't have to compete
with uncertainty to this confusion that's
really not just an illusion
but an intrusion on my minds eye

for the heart never lies
and what was thought to be
an illusion is just your
confusion over chosen what's
really all just...simply put
a bold faced illusion

for you needed a conclusion...

The Obama Peace

2008-06-23T22:37:00.000-07:00

Ive been working on this piece about Obama. Its pretty current to his campaign trails. Sort of a tribute to his trials and tribulations. Anyway, its been a rough piece to write I feel. I think it is because i ask alot of questions. I feel a little worried. Anyway, enough of that. Heres the piece! By the way for all you biters, this is my Intelektual Property.

Rough Draft#

The Obama peace

More like a piece of my mind

The sign of the times

Yet, I’m having trouble defining God’s Devine plan

Apprehensive, shell shocked, optimistic

Caught off guard, disbar from the current reality

A Black man for president

Winning the popular vote

Ever so casually,

Is alarming me…

Actually, it’ll be a cold day in hell

A bigot cracker utters

Under his breath

At a GOP convention

Full of evangelists

Who loves Christ but misinterpret his advice

Believe the Senator is Islamic

With the bump of his terrorist fist

That didn’t pledge allegiance

This so called elitist

The Bible belt

Is where they be breeding

Cease and desist

Dismiss fallacious racist

The O’Reillys conservative rightists

Faceless politicians fishing for our vote

Got me questioning tactics

Can’t take pictures with Muslims

In head wraps, just a misunderstanding

Yet still I feel sad

However, I understand the ramifications behind it

1 in 10 Americans believe he praises Allah and Muhammad

I wish we were religious and color blinded

The question of demonizing a faith hasn’t even been confronted

Still we got to clinch that vote

But being progressive is not without insult to injury

I guess you can’t be proud of progress

When we fear change

Shun hope

Lack prayer

I’m optimistic

But our country’s history of violence

Has been known to silence

The voice and limit choice

Buttons questioning whether

The White House will remain white

Passed out, on site at Republican Parties

Charades and antics on fox news tickers

Reporters snicker, as they call Michelle Obama a Baby mama

Political drama and smear campaigns

McCains wife labeling the intelligent sister from the Chi, unpatriotic

Words misconstrued, she’s a GOP target

No worries, the strong Black attorney just stated

Her opinions and arguments are valid

Fist bumps all around for the cast and crew for her point on the View

Brush the haters off just the way her husband do

As far as I’m concerned

Bush is the only curious George

A war monger, who wants to invade Iran

Another nuclear sham, I won’t fall for your so-called Wmd’s

Until one is pointing right at me

Excuse me, Mr.President please let’s just worry

About our energy policies

Our economy, jobs and mortgage rates

Tax breaks and stimulus checks

I need a little national insurance in order to get my pledge or respect

We neglect

Immigration and religious freedom

Civil rights, troop withdrawals, gun control and health care

National polls put Obama ahead of McCain

All the little Black kids proud to yell his name

Exclamations of wanting to be president when they grow up

But I’m a grown up

And I know the race isn’t sown up

Sabotage, assassination and conspiracies

Whispers their pessimistic thoughts to me

Elected, he may be the most critically acclaimed or criticized

Held to an esteem

Ridicule or impeached

Honored and magnificent

A magnitude off the scale

Can he bring peace to our streets

Or will they allow him to fail

If hes pro-Israel

Will there be another terrorist attack on American soil

Is he the Black Jimmy Carter?

A Black Kennedy, John or Robert

Our next martyr?

Am I asking too much?

Can he calm Iran or North Korea

Is he our nation’s savior

Is he King because I don’t think his Malcom

How much will he do for us?

Without them crucifying him for doing too much?

Yes I’m weary; I know Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. hears me

The only difference between us,

Is when and where,

We choose to voice our opinions

Without being an inconvenience to the brother’s electoral proceedings

I’m saying yes, I want Obama to get elected

I’m just protective

Concerned, It’s alarming to me

If he wins the reds states ever so casually

An African for President

I’m ecstatic you see!

Will he bridge that gap?

Backed by the popular vote

This is a piece of my mind

The Obama peace to world

Finding Love

2008-05-12T16:50:00.001-07:00

It's the adoration, the adulation
the pure appreciation, the amorous
allegiance, oh, it's truly a weakness,
as this affection, this infatuation
this regard that makes
it wild for the tenderness,
the zeal, the sensations,
of devotion, the inclination,
to the fondness, that it's
rapture relishes in, to
respect this fidelity,
to be so real, in delight, all the
passion it feels, it's ardency
amity, its affection to the
sentiment, that is profoundly
tender to me
it's a feeling of warm deep affection
that I need, it's a requirement for
an intensely amorous incident to occur
to embrace or lock it in with
a kiss, it's more than just a wish
it's not just a passion with strong desire
but an affectionate concern to
never, not ever, to no extent
not even 2 a degree, absolutely be...
just understand it
for it's fact, yes it's true
not just something to apprehend clearly
let it be with certainty
Fixed in your mind let it create
a memory, with a need to be seen
because its no longer possessed or
retained to be led astray, maybe
turned away, bewildered to place
around not even a familiar face,
it missed the way, but here I'll stay...
waiting for love to be...

Words He Said, Words She Said...

2008-05-12T16:49:00.001-07:00

His words said, that his love was true,
His words said, he was holding on tight,
to her heart, and would not let go,
without a fight...

His words said, don't love me,
his words said, don't want me,
His words completely, hostilely,
dismissed she, his words said
I don't want you to miss me...

His words said, he wanted
her to hurt, His words said
shut up to her heart, His words
said he didn't care, His words
bled pain, while her eyes shed

His words said don't honor me,
His words said he was hurt,
just not so liberally, nor directly
to she, His words said to leave
him alone, His words were
cold, they sent chills to the bone...

His words said they would not
apologize, His words said,
all that mattered was just a lie...

His words said he didn't complete her,
His words said finally...to get
away from him...

Her words said, Her heart was true,
Her words deepened, when her
eyes met you...

Her words said, TRUST me, I trust you,
Her words said, let me in,
I'll help heal you...

Her words said, I honor you,
Her words said with humility,
I dare you, you know I love you...

Her words said, she'll knock again,
Her words said, she'll knock, softly,
until you're comfortable, to let her in...

Her words said, she is more than patient,
Her words said, kindness reigns within...

Her words said, I forgive you,
her words plead, but she refused to beg...

Her words said, you are so strong,
Her words said, she's been hurt, too,
and the pain never last for long, Her words said,
she still wants, to pull closer to you...

Her words said, she will endure, the test
of time, even if you revert, and let the
clock rewind...

Her words simply said, to him...with a
a sincere, gentleness, as soft as, a kiss,
let me complete you...just let me in,
Her words she meant, so, she finished,
and the message was sent...

Can I ripped it, no u can't

2008-05-02T18:14:00.000-07:00

Funny thing happen to me the last night at the spoken word slam at Sac State, I call it life. No better way to put it I guess. I'm keep this short and sweet. There was a 4-way tie breaker and we all had to spit. Freestyle or whatever... I was a little flustered, mind you and kind of in a disarray, just caused I arrived late once again to a deciding moment within the event. ( A couple of weeks ago I had another slam and I almost got disqualified for being late. Honestly, I'm just somewhere practicing). Anyway, i was late on the stage about to go last as the judge decided next round fate and here i am freesytling sounding like a fucking buffoon, um, excuse my French but for real, it was kinda of embarrassing . The shit that was coming out didn't make any sense at all. It was something out of a religious thriller. I felt froze, I was a little out of my element. I don't believe I've ever been put on the spot like that. But it was funny and I have laughed. I mean for real I stopped midway and said " I'm falling off", the judges gave me all 8's to be nice. Thank you Judges! But the slam was a free for all the jackpot was $500. Some real good poets. Shout out to Random, I heard he took it, a real talented brother! I'm a have to come with some fire next time. All new ish in the working. The funniest thing is I can freestyle in 30'secs....

Ad Hominem Politiks

2008-04-03T23:24:00.000-07:00

The question of the week seems to be, "what call was Mukasey referring to???" If you haven't heard by now, which you probably haven't, Attorney General Michael Mukasey has premised his argument for warrantless wiretaps by telecom giants on an alleged untapped call from Afghanistan that initiated the 9/11 attacks.

Officials "shouldn't need a warrant when somebody with a phone in Iraq picks up a phone and calls somebody in the United States because that's the call that we may really want to know about. And before 9/11, that's the call that we didn't know about. We knew that there has been a call from someplace that was known to be a safe house in Afghanistan and we knew that it came to the United States. We didn't know precisely where it went. We got three thousand. We've got three thousand people who went to work that day and didn't come home to show for that," - Mukasey

The media has been slow to pick up this story. I learned about it through my daily, nearly psychotic, searches for real news. Glenn Greenwald, along with Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman, has been at the forefront of the media coverage of this "new 9/11 revelation."

Mukasey claims that under old FISA laws the government was unable to tap the foreign call coming in to the United States, which is a blatant lie. The question is whether or not such a call exist. If there was a phone call that initiated the 9/11 attacks, it would place blame of the 9/11 catastrophe directly on the Bush administration. If the call Mukasey refers to does not exist, then the politics of fear are alive and well in the new attorney general.

WELCOME TO GATTACA

2008-03-31T18:10:00.000-07:00

Well... not exactly. Apparently your DNA is still safe to an extent. But if you're a gold-diggin' scallywag... the era of child-support scams are coming to an end. After seeing positive sales results in California, Oregon, and Washington, Identigene has announced that they are going nationwide with their Over-the-Counter paternity test. Yes, this means every ghetto, every city, and suburban place I've been will have men running to their neighborhood RiteAid where the test kit is shelved.

The question that needs to be asked... What is the efficacy of the test?

The test kit reportedly cost around $30 dollars; making it the most affordable paternity test on the market. However, the cost to have the test analyzed cost around $100 dollars. I don't think this will stop anyone from running out to grab the test since $130 is nothing compared to eighteen years of child support.
The test is performed by swabbing the inner cheek of the father and the child and sending in the swabs for analysis. It takes about 4-5 days to receive the results. (The test also comes with consent forms.)
Unfortunately, there is no current government regulation of this testing to make sure there are no false-positive or false-negative results.

I think its only a matter of time before children that question their relationship with their parents start scheming to find ways to test whether or not they're adopted. The end result: "The Broadway Production of the Maury Povich Show," coming to a hood near you!

I think I've written enough about this... I need to call my stock broker and find out how to invest in Identigene before is shoots up like Pfizer did from Viagra... (No pun intended.)

The Makings Of This Human

2008-03-29T15:18:00.000-07:00

What's up Ya'll, I'm back in this Bitch, excuse my French, pardon my crudeness but whatever, How are we doing out there. I just finish this piece, well i think I've finished a piece. Took me like a hour to write. I don't know if its fire but I will tell you its honest. Its titled the "The Makings of this Human", World let me know how you feel about it. I wrote it while listening to this Dance Hall track Called "Listen" by Midnight I Grade off the, "Rule The Time" album. Shot out to the home girl Mila, for putting a brother on to this cause it was pretty inspirational. Since, I just lost a tennis tournament match this morning and all. Sigh, well life goes on. Anyway, I'm rambling check out the piece and tell me what you think. Um, if theres any grammatical errors, let a brother know.

The makings of this Human

I create my own perception, at a different angle

It can be your deception

Deceiving you, of any clue

But the devious does what sinister do

So the sinner is you

I’ll rarely admit it but on occasions my lyrics spit it

The phlegm, sickly slimy yellowish goo

With a hint of money green,

Hock from my lungs

You try to catch it like a bag of hot roasted peanuts

At a ball park

You fumble around with the notions and phrases

However, ignorance has confused you and I

You’re focused on my eye raises

Saying, I’m not the rock

But I proclaim cardinal rule

I’ve been known to give people the proverbial elbow

You’ve been Pigeon footed and Bow legged

You Stumble, fumble the rock, And you’ve felt the bottom

Face flat on the mat

Committing the error

Disrespected, you wipe your mug

The smell of defeat, is the funk from your feet

Tinactin wasn’t that tough acting

But still I’ll stand next to you

When the medals are handed out

I’ve been there before

Salty, is the taste of struggle like sweat

That’s Pouring from my brow

Leaping off my lips

As the drips are flung into a infinite abyss

Evaporating like tears

As my face cringes, muscle tenses and takes a grip on life

Blood leaves your heart through your veins, down to your capillaries

As you hold on tight

We gasp releasing breaths wasted

Inhaling optimism

From chasing fantasy and dreams

Obama in 08’ I’ll hunt down hope

Cause nightmares chase me

It’s the circle of life

I’ll be running till I find Christ or he finds me

Holding him unyielding as if I was hippie

Hugging a tree

I’m bugging you see

But the devil still won’t raid me

My body is godly

But I tend to fill it up with garbage

Kind of ironic

But people worship the iconic?

Like who; JFK, Gandhi or King?

Paris, Drama queen and heiress to the Hilton’s fortune

Money, that’s Hot!

I’m stunned, seeing stars and birds

Hit with that American flash kick

The sonic boom, I’m the 80’s baby

Present and post crack epidemic

The 90’s teen

MTV, Xtacy generation

The hip hop nation

I’m change in waiting

Revolution through art

Rebelling hegemonic brain flatulence

I am a halogen, my wattage is energy conserving

Shining like the sun, get your solar panel

As bright as a star in the north

I’m a gentleman of sorts

But I can be coarse

I mean you can lead a horse…

However, force will never be applied

These are the makings of this human

I love me, my family, friends and beautiful woman

I have a heart, I fear, I lust, I cry, I trust

I can hate, I can get irate, I bleed, fall ill, die or grieve

I’m not special, at times unique

Meek walking with giants

I only pray to be triumphant

The Unexpected

2008-02-21T22:31:00.000-08:00

I feel like I am waiting for something. Waiting for the Unexpected. A good turn of events one would say but I don't believe I am experiencing a bad turn of events currently. Nonetheless, I'm praying for a twist or turn in this plot called my life. I am not waiting for a climax in my life, not now at least because a climax represents a peak within my life. And god knows I am not at my peak but when I reach this pinnacle moment in my life the utmost happiness will occupy my soul and I will explode with elation. Right now it is determination in place of elation. Determined to find joy, which sometimes tends to elude me. I chase joy from time to time. The joy of a good movie, working out, chilling with friends, going to church, writing and even snowboarding. However, now my heart aches for a joy I don't even believe I am ready for. The joy of a family I guess you would say. I'm kinda of bored with the simple life of being a just single male. Yea, yea I sound kind of delusional. Maybe, I am misinterpreting melancholy for delusion. Maybe, I am impatient. Tired of waiting for the unexpected. Whatever, I am probably just frustrated. Tired of searching. Searching for a soul mate but I can't even find my soul in the mist of these soul less beings roaming erroneously. At whose error I wonder. Mine? Maybe, but I'm learning peace!

will it hurt album sales?

Reality --- Reality

2008-01-30T09:57:00.001-08:00

The desensitization of my emotions
lacks the hasten, to the effects this
situation has imposed, to the utmost--
I have allowed some illusion of happiness
to invade the characterizations, that I,
strongly up held to be me, but despite
my in tunned, most often wise, nature--
my heart is more than emotionally
inclined to be subjected, to ALL, that
you affectionately do to me,

my tears fall from strange misrepresentation
because, I, remember a time when
you led me to believe, that you would...
be mine, the irrelevance, to that statement
can be held by question, cause, all that
matters is the affects you effectively
have on me, I don't even know, what
to do--, because, I'm so in love with you,
you are the one I see as true
the man I one day say I DO...
but, my speculation- don't matter
not even with slight inclination, because
the reality of the situation, is that you are not...
not...you are...not....shhhhhh
it's all just, never mind, its all, just
a figment of my lucid mind, but know this true
I'm madly in love with you
and if you could only see
I mean just for a moment see....all that I see,
you too would believe the future held
between you...and me....

So I'm now waiting for the States to say it!

2008-01-29T22:33:00.000-08:00

So February 13th marks the day that Australia with formally apologize to the so-called "stolen generation" of Aborigines. Aborigines, thats hard for me to even say because my anthro professor in JuCo told me that it meant abnormal originals. Kinda f-up, if ya ask me. Well thats great to hear they are getting an apology for all the pain and suffering. However, they don't get any financial compensation and the apology will not attribute any guilt to the current generation of Australia. Thats nice, and apparently this is the first step towards harmony between the impoverished minorities and the white Australians. Heres a quote for y'all , "Once we establish this respect, the government can work with indigenous communities to improve services aimed at closing the 17-year life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians". Yikes, 17 year life expectancy gap, talk about a discrepancy. Well Australia, kudos to you America, your next.

now THIS is some scary shit

2008-01-14T03:29:00.000-08:00

I'm definitely scared as hell to see what this movie is about. Any movie with Matt from Nip/Tuck in it pertaining to human genitalia is definitely scary. Remember this is the cat who circumcised himself back in season one of the show with scissors in his own bathroom. OUCH!!! And thats not even the scariest aspect of the movie! Whoever thought of a coochie with teeth is definitely taking private day trips to Mars in the company bathroom, courtesy of our friends La Coka Nostra and LSD, and possibly a bit of Jenkem. Conceptually this could be the most frightening movie ever.

Big Sean ft. Fonzworth Bentley on All Nite(from Big Seans G.O.O.D Music mixtape Finally Famous), has Fonzworth just straight spazzing out once again. Big Sean is Kanye's newest addition to the label, but Bentley steals the show. It definitely sucks that Big Sean has to rap after him. SAD FACE. And then we have RAAAAAAAAAAAAWSSSSSSS!!! Rick Ross ft. T-Pain with dope boy trunk slap raps on The Boss from Ross's upcoming Trilla album.

Sex Tape Bonanza

2008-01-13T21:16:00.000-08:00

Ever since the Paris Hilton sex tape came out there has been a rash of almost celebrity slash porn star sex tapes. Given the inappropriate amount of porn that I do watch on the daily(shout to allrealitypass.com for the frequent updates) the problem that I have with these tapes are that these things aren't done professionally.

I mean let's be real, if the almost famous want the publicity, they should get it done the right way (*Ray J and Kim K did a marvelous job tho 4 stars). Rent yourself a little camera crew, get the lighting game correct!! If we are going to sponsor your fame by rushing to download your "secret" sex tape that you leaked you can at least keep us in mind, sheesh. If your last gasp at fame is to get fucked on film then at least make sure your 2 mins. of fame is FILM WORTHY ok? Show ya assets properly!

The newest tape out there with everybody's favorite love to hate gal Ms. New York (http://www.zshare.net/video/647362083cae3a), is just plain sucky. Theres some nondescript guy NOT banging her back out, constantly changing positions in the camera phone quality 3 min film- basically channeling the awkwardness of a sex scene straight from Superbad, and with the physical gifts of my Far East patna from cult classic How High.

So guys lets take this advice and get some better celeb porn tapes out there to watch. PEACE

About Nothing!

2008-01-12T13:45:00.000-08:00

So I figure, I like to write and I have this is here blog...So why not use it. So I'm write about nothing. Nothing in this case being something. A piece about nothing...By the way i love the neverending story..Enjoy and Feel Free to comment or constructively critic..haters get deleted

About Nothing!

Nothing, I remember the feeling about nothing
or "the nothing" like the never ending story
i guess this is my never ending story
more of my glories and hooray's to me
as a matter fact a hurry to we
bury beneath this satire
this world I've come to admire
but i love to be alive
i love to strive
but i guess that is nothing

Why be nothing when you can be something?
but whats the definition of something?
is it everything or nothing?
am i really something or am i fronting?
charades can be discussing
but fun when your hinting
at something
instead of just fishing and just wishing
we hunting
some are savages
and no not in the indigenous stereotypical sense
more as in slave master, colonial powers, monarchies, empire and dynasties
bounded leather, ropes, chains, physical, mental, stress, strain cheap labor and gentrification
I am part of the alien nation
alienated and hardly ever aided
Amplified on TV
modified for the big screen
acting like we Neanderthals
Clubbing in the caves
we in our ice age
but theres global warming
but thats nothing

And this is nothing
but i know I'm something
never just a nobody
oddly, i have dreams too
wife, family, health
biodiesel big body
Career, Travels, no fears
But god
I am at awe
and that may be Nah,
to you
but that can be as foolish as cutting school
but at some point and time i was a truant in lieu,
of a student searching for truth
tended to embrace knowledge through and through
but arrogance can be the fault for a few
but trust me I can be faulted too
but this means nothing to, who?
So many ash, dusts and buts I'm tossing at you
I pray for those who do and don't have cancer
from this society that has more questions than answers

I'm venting, What is it?
its nothing!
like the nothing in the never ending story
spreading cause of all our ills
there ain't enough prescription pills
advertised on the telly
to sedate the beast G'mork
so we can get out of his tummy
and I can name my queen
but this is about nothing
Remember, a hooray to me
for all my trivial accolades
for and about nothing

Yung Joc WTF! Stupidity or Setup

2007-12-26T15:04:00.000-08:00

So the story goes Yung Joc gets caught with a concealed weapon and semi-auto in the luggage along with armor piercing ammo at Cleveland's airport-hmmmmmmm, so in lite of 9/11, we have Yung Joc who feels his lack of resemblance to any stereotypical looking terrorist makes him virtuously invisible to airport security. Yea fucking Right! They make you take your shoes off and they have detectors that can smell hazardous material on you. What were you thinking Joc? Really thou? You really are young and a dumbass Joc! Yung Joc apparently said he didn't know it was in there... wah, wah, wah....Lame attempt for some kinda of defense. Or maybe he was setup? Quite Possible? Right? What about the concealed weapon thou? Who put that on your body? Is this dude Retarded, is this his poor try to boost his Street Cred! Gangsta Rappers man! Disappointing I tell ya!

Source:

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Cleveland judge scolded rapper Yung Joc for being late to court on Wednesday but allowed him to remain free on bond on a charge of having a gun in his carry-on bag at the city's airport, authorities said.

The Atlanta-based Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, 27, was arrested Sunday morning at a security checkpoint at Cleveland's airport with a handgun and armor-piercing ammunition in his luggage.

At the time, Robinson denied knowing about the gun.

He was freed on $50,000 bond, but Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Michael Ryan issued an arrest warrant for Robinson after he missed a scheduled Wednesday morning court appearance, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office said.

Robinson's lawyer apologized, saying the performer was out of town because of family obligations. Robinson showed up on Wednesday afternoon.

The judge chided Robinson but set him free on bond, scheduling his next court appearance for January 25.

The concealed weapons charge carries a potential 18-month prison term, the prosecutor's office said.

Robinson's debut album "New Joc City" with the Grammy-nominated hit "It's Goin' Down" has sold more than a million copies last year. He released "Hustlenomic$" a few months ago.

Ode To A Lame Champs Employee

2007-12-23T03:49:00.000-08:00

I know I promised you guys an Ode to a Lame Champs Employee, but I'd rather keep it coo, and just give the little guy some game. I wonder if the little guy has seen this clip on youtube before. As much time as he spends on there watching turf dancers and emulating their moves, you think he MIGHT have a turf to claim while he's "gigging cutty cuttin it up!!!".....iono tho. Peep the clip and soak up some game lil dude. That way next time ya chick choose up you know who you really got funk wit, ya diiiiiiiig?

you're an 80's baby when....

2007-12-21T01:05:00.000-08:00

.....you were born in the late 70's(79 to be exact) slash early 80's and actually experienced the decade.

You are NOT an 80's baby if you were born in flippin 1987 or after and don't have any memories of anything before the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

There ain't nothin 80's about the friggin' Power Rangers. Back in the day do you know what a Toxic Avenger or Swamp Thing would do to a Power Ranger?

And what the hell can you possibly remember from being 2 or 3 years old without having to be told some random story by your parents while looking at old pictures of you that YOU don't even remember taking? Seriously WTF!!???

Another point I gotta bring up is House Party. There seems to be this whole misconception that the film actually has something to do with the 80's. Well lemme be the one to break it to you jerks.

House Party was from the year 1990.

What, pray tell, may I ask is 80's, about the year 1990?

Call me an asshole, but somebody has to let the young public know.

Irks me to hear cats born in 1989 talking bout "I'ma 80's baby." Nigga you was an 80's infantile, noeral Levt even a baby yet.

And completely off this 80's topic, can some mutha%^&*#%' body explain to me what the devil is wrong with the Clipse?

Why do they keep making songs talking bout introducing the US to Bape when its 2007 and nobody rocks that crap anymore? It never got that big anyways!! Is it just me, or is Clipse on some Ahmad(Pharcyde) Back In The Day type hype. They need to reinvent themselves and quit always talking about the same old tired shit. They've got their hands on the extremely limited American Express Titanium Black Cards, yet they are steadily complaining about the record company they signed to, and tryna get attention by talking shit about Lil Wayne. I mean seriously, you can purchase a housing development with your magic charge card, but you are mad at getting no promotion for your albums. I dunnnnooooooo, it doesn't quite make the most sense to me but I guess it makes sense to someone, somewhere. Tokyo perhaps?

And how lame am I for always ending up thinking about this shit seriously? How many times in a year am I gonna talk about the Clipse, who really cares anyways right? Was I that big of a fan in my sub-conscience? I dunno. Maybe.

My point is.......

Can we get some blogging going on in here even if its pointless though??

Next topic is.. Don't be mad ya chick chose me (Ode To Lame Champs Employee)

Mr. Ignorant is signing off NOW.

Special Interrogations

2007-12-13T12:16:00.000-08:00

So I turned on the news today, yesterday, the day before... and I keep hearing the same term being thrown around: Tough Interrogations or Special Interrogations. I kept hearing the terms used in the context of waterboarding. I was unfamiliar with the term and thought to myself..

Water- a purifying liquid that makes up a large percent of two major bodies.... the earth, and mine. Water is awesome. After a decent workout... what better than some cool refreshing water to bring you back to equilibrium.

Boarding- WTF... if we could only have more boarding the world would be a much better place.

Surfboarding - Never did it, but it looks fun
House Boarding - C'mon, who doesn't need a house... (Answer me Katrina!)
Skateboarding - I drive through the hood and Lupe has all the kids on them now
School Board - Everybody needs an education

Finally after looking deeper at the two combined... I have discovered an awful truth. Every media outlet I have utilized has described waterboarding as something better than what it really is... They describe it as simulated drowning. I've done simulated driving before, not even close to the real thing. How bad could simulated drowning be? What is simulated drowning? Apparently, the detainee quickly begins to inhale water when it is poured over their mouth-taped face. I'm no Miriam Webster, but I'm pretty sure that's not simulated drowning.... That's actual drowning. If a doctor stabs me in the chest and revives me, is he going to call it simulated death? Give me a break. Don't be fooled by the conundrums being used to avoid the word of the day.... Brought to you by the letter T... T is for Torture.

Lupe vs. the Sophomore Slump

2007-12-12T23:53:00.000-08:00

The Cool gets style points for the album cover, which is definitely ill with the Arabic calligraphy, but its gona lose the fight on my ipod (the retro joint, 1st gen fuck a Touch, unless someone wants to cop me one). Lupe dresses impeccably, but the rhymes are tiring.....of course I am CAPABLE of thinking enough to listen to his LPs and sift thru his extra witty wordplay, but the question is when do I WANT to sit there and get mentally drained from listening to this cd repeatedly. There are noteworthy tracks like Streets on Fire which tackles the issue of STDs, Gold Watch which is a manual for hypebeasts, and Hip Hop Saved My Life featuring my girl Nikki Jean from indy group Nouveau Riche. Yep, theres still no solid reason for me to take Dj Drama's Gangsta Grillz or Ghostface's The Big Doe Rehab out of my rotation just yet. But you definitely don't have to take my word for it! Lupe hits stores this Tuesday, and the Ghost and Dj Drama are out already, so if you don't have em already I'll just call you fashionably late! So do what you do. Go cop or download illegally*, twist one up, and enjoy.

*disclaimer-we here at intelektual properties don't encourage you to steal from the artists, but we all know how it be sometimes.

a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words

2007-12-12T23:09:00.000-08:00

and then there are those worth much much less than that.

take for instance this cheap ripoff of a HULKAMANIA pose-minus all the original HULKSTERS coolness and muscles. what a lame attempt.(fucking self absorbent models haha)

that is a nice jacket however, and you can cop yours at www.asseenfit.com, along with more Dissizit, Triko, Scifen and Franco Shade gear..aside from the Christmas sale you might also find pics of your local neighborhood bloggers ya dig?(this is what you call a shameless plug for "face time")

and just so you know, a portion of the websites proceeds go to feed underprivileged rich kids who drive cars that are waaaay better than yours.

we got some pics of the homey jae (waiting for his blog next) on his modeling escapade too, so stay tuned for that readers.

Slow Day

2007-12-12T20:55:00.000-08:00

Wassup people today has been a very slow day. So I have a little something that will put a smile on your face, about a girl I just met. The funny thing about this is that it was written about a year ago. tell me what you think.

I wake up in the morning thinking about you.
Knowing I can have u,
But just one thing keeps us from been together.
I call it love because that what it is,
Being alone is one thing,
But being with u and without you is another.

It’s good to know you’re only a call away.
Everybody has that special someone,
And to me it’s you.
Why I don’t know, or maybe I do.

The glow in her eyes,
the stars of the sky,
Her seductive lips are a work of act.
That’s what I think.

She’s encouraging, loving and mindful.
She has all I want in a girl,
except one thing, now is she worth it?
I will leave that for love to decide.

When am with her,
I feel like am in an utopia (a perfect place).
I feel untouchable, I feel loveable,And I feel trustable.
She has my heart racing every time I think of her.
I rest my cast, I rest my mind and I rest my heart.

Ps: who goes to jack in the box to go study for finals at night? lol, go figure.

Movie: August Rush

2007-12-11T23:48:00.000-08:00

Ok, ok, tonight was dinner and a movie with friends. The movie first and dinner later. Now this was a spur of the moment outing and I wasn't really even trying to mess with the movies but hey, if you know me, then you know I'll watch anything. Well not everything, you may not catch me watching Broke Back Mountain. Nothing against gays but I'm not trying to watch a movie about gay cowboys being undercover in the mountains hiding their relationship . But whatever, I digress, so the home girl Amanda wanted to see August Rush, so me and the homie Jason follow suit. Plus, Robin Williams was in it and he rarely makes garbage movies, so I'm all for it.
So ten minutes into the movie I'm already feeling it. Some would say this is a chick flick but whatever the musical aspect played a tremendous role and the story was touching. Yes, I said touching, I was hooked. I even found myself gitty with joy during some scenes in the movie! So this cool ass Irish guitarist played by (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a fine cellist with crinkle hair (Keri Russell), they met and like E40 had a "one night stand" above New York’s Washington Square, but she was a Julliard student and he was the lead singer in second class rock band. Anyway, there torn apart and she ends up pregnant, August Rush is their abandon orphaned child. 11 years later, he's now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by the Oliver Twist, artful dodger type character name Wizard played by (Robin Williams). August (Freddie Highmore) is a musical prodigy and uses his talents to find his parent. Hey, its cheesy at times but the musical influences makes it a great film. Like, if you like to listen to classical, alternative, gospel and hip-hop or you just have a ear; and want to listen, this is a nice watch. I would recommend this flick but take a girl or something! Or go with a mix group of friends but check it out or rent it. Oh yea, Terrence Howard was in it to. Academy award nominee for Hustle and Flow! Hustle and Flow SON! Its a must see now! Nah, forreal check it out! If you feel movies like this. Check the trailer-

P.s. Dinner was great! Thanks Mandy! Um, midtown home to all those elite McGeorgians I tell Ya'll! I was glad we were graced with that present!

Worlds Aids Day Fashion Show

2007-12-11T20:41:00.000-08:00

Wassup people, on December 1, 2007 Tosa Collection presented the World’s Aids Day Fashion Show titled Runway to Cure in Houston TX; the event was used as a forum to raise money for children with AIDS in Africa. The AIDS Epidemic has always been a very serious issue to me and with the support of three other designers the show was made possible. The proceeds of the event will help millions of people in Africa suffering from this epidemic.

HIV/aids claims the lives of over 26 million people a year and sadly, 42 million people are living with HIV/Aids in the world today. This is why I take it so serious, what bothers me the most are the children dying of Aids in Africa today. I feel like the AIDS epidemic should never be left alone or taken lightly; rather we should continue looking for the prevention and cure of AIDS. The world’s AIDS day fashion show and bash in away is my way of reminding my generation about aids and at the same time motivating them to do something about it.
The proceeds made from the show will be given to keep a Child Alive. Keep a Child Alive is a great organization that provides an urgent response to the aids pandemic ravaging Africa. They also provide life-saving medication, support and orphan care, to keep children and families alive. Another thing people don’t know is that they can actually help, keep a child alive has a program called every penny counts and one dollar a day, so if you want to help you could go to http://www.keepachildalive.org/ .
In conclusion I would like to say thank you to all who came out for the show. It was for a great cause and a great show. I would also like to say thank you to Toni Payne, Dur’e design and versatile style for their support. My TC Team, my wonderful models and Bobby Taylor consulting for a job well done.

But when they suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of a gang war, the lifelong friends are forced to confront a shocking secret from their shared past.
