Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 4

**** Not to brag......well hell let me do, I got the funkiest play list around.


**** Celebrities are not Gods.

They do not have the option of being absolved of critique of how they conduct their lives because you like them.

Because that life they lead holds influence over impressionable minds and can corrupt them in ways you can not see or measure till their is an epidemic.

So when I called out R. Kelly, Young Berg, Chris Brown and others for doing something that is unbecoming for some one who want to be in the public light, I am in the right.

And that includes Erykah Badu and the blogger who masquerade as anonymous, (I know who the fuck you are now), on my comment section and started in with insults cause she didn't like me calling her out.

**** And that leads to this.

Calling out women who I think do wrong or something messed up does not make me sexist.

It makes me more of a feminist than most including you cause I treat them just like men no kid gloves.




But than again I was raised by some REAL women who handled business so maybe that's why I am not tolerant of bullshitting ass women.


**** Plucking the strings on an acoustic guitar while singing does not mean you have talent if,

A) You cant hold a note when you sing.

B) You play the same damn chords over and over again.

C) Your song writing sucks.

That's like people who keep books on their shelves that they really don't understand or like but when people see it they think there deep.

Yeah it looks artsy, it looks folksy, you might fit in very well with the root and berry crowd, but you still cant play.

If your going to pick it up at least practice!

Youtube is full of them.


**** Sign that you need to upgrade the women you date.

When you cant find any one interested in going to the Alvin AILEY American Dance Theater performance but want to go to a club instead.

****Now that I think about it why the hell do I want to go see Alvin AILEY American Dance Theater?


****Heard about when Chrisitan Bale blew up on the set?

Family Guy does.





LMAO, but for real the guy who he blew up on took it well.

I my self would have beaten the bastard into a bloody pulp, punk would have been gumming his lines after that.

Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 3

****They make video games about Rape? Damn! I cant let this slide.



I am of the opinion that the Japanese don't have a clue, no cruel intentions behind what they do I don't believe, (although I have noticed that they do show a lot of rape going on in their older movies at least) but this and the Resident Evil video game set in Africa which is a KKK/Neo-Nazi wet dream,........


........shows a serious lack of sensitivity, (would it have killed them to make the hero look black or better yet make the female counter part look black too instead of a white woman with a bad tan?).

Neither of those games should hit the market anywhere a kid can get his hands on it.

I ain't saying they racists.......but they could use some teaching........and maybe a smack or two.

****WTH?


Now I wonder were those two learned to do that?

Kids have to run around here like it's Never Never Land to survive.

Cold world out there, no one is safe to be around.

**** Finally some one using there head!!!


There going to do it anyway people you cant stop it!!!!

Instead of us spending money on chasing users and pushers and destroying communities by snatching men out of their homes and throwing them in the penitentiary make the money work for society.

Build schools, create jobs that is not based on locking people up for a damn plant, fund health care, turn the economy around and save everybody a headache.

**** This is racist.



Clear and simple.

You can point the incident were a chimp mauled the woman and the cops had to shoot it.

True and that's exactly what the NY Post and the cartoonist would like you to believe when they put this out.

But that reference went out the window the moment the cartoonist, Sean Delonas, put that caption up.

That tied it to the POTUS, who the stimulus bill represents.

The NY Post called him a monkey and said he should be shot.

That is pretty clear to me.

You cant hustle a hustler I know what they were REALLY saying.

Were talking about a cartoonist, like the NY Post, who has a history of social baiting.

Now not everyone has the stomach for this kind of stuff.

They would rather not deal with it.

I can respect that, do you.

What I cant respect is some one trying to convince me that I have no reason to be upset about this.

Now you can say you don't want to think about it (stick your head in the sand while the rest of Rome burns, if your lucky your ass wont catch on fire).

You can say it doesn't bother me because I know don't look like a monkey (yeah but they think you do Bobo).

You can say it means nothing (nothing to you but something to the coward who spray paints nigger on your car or house at night).

You can say there are other things more important in the national news, (true, but this will have an affect on you like).

What you cant say is people shouldn't be upset and take action against a bias rag and artist that continually takes a piss on you and swears it's raining.

You do have all the right to look away.


****BTW you know this Sean Delonas writes children books?

You want this dude in the head of your kids?

Not even books are safe.

**** And another thing I like Al Sharpton, at least he gets up and does something while every one else complains and don't do squat.

Than get mad when the cameras are in his face?

He was elected spokesman for black by default, everyone else stayed home and kept their mouths shut while your brothers and sisters got screwed over.

You'll miss him when he is gone.

But he do need to change up that perm though.

Deal Breaker 9: The Bottler.




You ever met some one who liked to hold stuff inside of them and let it fester and all of a sudden they blow up in your face with what ever they were carrying around inside of them?

At the craziest time?

For something that might not even have anything with why they are mad?

And your left there trying to figure out what the hell was that all about?

And than it dawns on you that this person has been walking around screwed face with you while playing silent and smiling in your face and hasn't been saying anything letting you think everything is cool?

Who do you think should shoulder that?

If you ask me, (and I know you didn't but too late here it comes), it's the bottler.

Here is the thing, I like to consider myself an approachable guy, a person can ask me anything at all, and I'll answer them.

Now the answer you get may not be what you like to hear, but rest assured it will be an honest answer from me for how I feel about it at the time.

That way there are no misunderstandings, no fake attitude going on, no behind the back mess.

No two faced nonsense going on.


Get it out in the open and deal with it like adults.

Cause contrary to popular belief I am not a mind reader or a detective.

And if it is that serious we can go are separate ways with out having to be jerks about it.



See that way I still have respect for you even if we cant agree.

I dated a woman who had issues with me not wanting to stay on the phone with her.

As soon as the convo got stale I would just say call you next time, nothing more, no big deal.

No running off to chase some other woman, didn't mean I didn't like you, just meant I didn't want to stay on the phone listening to air.

She got mad with me when I was trying to get off the phone with her one night and dumped me on the spot.

I was like what?!

Now if she had said something before I would have made an adjustment, got a damn blue tooth and just left the ear piece on.

Than there was the one who got upset with me cause I didn't speak a lot.

I could come be with her and not say two words to her all day and kiss her on the cheek goodbye when I left.

Didn't mean I was up set with her.

Didn't mean I was caught up in thought.

It meant that when I have something important to say I would say it, that's what the hell it meant!

But know not her I get a talking to about why I have an attitude in the middle of Fox Theater.

WTF?

What kind of passive-aggressive nonsense is that?

Again if it was that serious and she said something I would have said something, hell I would of read the news paper or read a woman's magazine and talked your God damn ear off if you wanted.

But I refuse to take blame for this, no.

No not for this mon cheri.....some other justifiable offense that I am sure I will do in the course of the relationship that will make you contemplate grinding up glass in my food or throwing hot grits one me but this my love?

No, no, no, no, not this.

You see I have a bad habit of thinking that grown people I talk to act their age.

That's what I think.

I figure well hell I am grown man, she is grown woman, so will act grown and open our mouths and speak when thought arrive there.

That's the impression I was under.

I believe this, I am old school, I would rather die alone in a cold grave than spend my life with a woman who is too childish to speak her mind and than blames me for not getting the "hints".

It's more about you and your thin skin than us as a team in the relationship.

I can not play with them.

I can not build with them.

I can not respect them.

Cant do it.

Deal Breaker.

Beating Up Women.



I haven't said anything on my blog about the Chris Rhianna fiasco cause I figure it was pretty much an open and shut thing.

If he beat her butt he goes to jail.

If she put her hands on him than he should get a pass,( I don't believe in taking butt whippings for free, keep your hands to your self people and there wont be any problems).

Besides every one else has taken up the issue and are more familiar and knowledgeable about the topic than I am.

I have never put my hands on a woman.

As much smack talking I do I just cant see my self getting in a situation were that would happen in my right mind and I got the type of slick mouth that would make a woman want to put hands on me you can ask some bloggers about that.

Not that I don't think I am capable of putting my hands on a woman, there was the time I broke up with an ex and she took up with some one while we were still talking things out.

I saw her in bed with the dude and I went nuts, I tried to get at them through the door but it wouldn't give.

I don't know what I would have done if I got in, but I thank God I didn't find out, no need to test the Lords affinity for children and fools I say.

But that is the only time I ever wanted to hurt a woman.

Hell the moment a woman starts getting loud I am looking for the front door, that's one of my flaws.

I have left a lot of women over minor disagreements just so I wont have to do the arguing that is sometimes required to get through somethings.

That way I wont be reminded about my mother and father and how they argued and how they fought.

I am not sure what effect it had on me other the usual broken home story but they say people who grew up around violence reach for it as an solution to problems.

So I do what a lot of men do when the topic pops up, condemn it quickly and get the hell out of dodge.

That way I don't have to give it much thought other than to crack a joke when opportunity arises.

And the Chris and Rhianna incident is no different, file it away under that's messed up........ oh well back to business.

But for a dude that doesn't beat on women the issue seems to pop up quite a bit in my life.

I can recall at least one incident of domestic violence I have seen or know about every years since I came to Georgia ten years ago at least.

The latest one to pop up one me is courtesy of my Ex.

I talked briefly about her experience here.

A year ago "Frosty", her ex after me, beat her over the head with a night stand in front of her child, she escaped by jumping over a balcony rail to a neighbors house and called the police.

I have no doubt in my mind the way she described it that night if she didn't get away he would have killed her.

He winds up getting arrested after awhile and serves time on an unrelated warrant violation.

Now her case is coming up and she is nervous about being in the same room with him despite it being in the court house.

She called me Thursday to ask me to go with her when they call her to testify next month.

I was going to make an excuse or wait awhile to say no but she met up with me Friday to show me something she had of his.

She had gone through his things when he was on the run and found a journal from a previous ex of his and wanted me to read it.

Sobering is what I can best call it.

This other woman had kept a journal of the beating he had given her, the very first page she said that she wrote the journal to leave behind evidence in case anything happened to her.

In case he killed her.

What I read was very uncomfortable, she described in detail how this dude would lose his temper over the slightest thing and she was made to pay for it.

He locked him self out the house when she wasn't there and beat her by holding her down and punching her in the leg.

There was the time she accidentally broker his gold chain and he punched her repeatedly in the chest.

The night her brother called her and he flew into a jealous rage and beat her unconscious.

Than there was the time she accused him of trying to sleep with her sister and he beat her with a belt.

The last page was how he actually beat her sister so badly for trying to defend her, he tore a portion of the sisters upper lip off.

That was the end.

Through out the journal she kept wishing she was dead, even documenting a time she took 15 pills of some 500mg medicine but failed at the suicide attempt.

She got beat for that too.

You could teach domestic violence class off what she wrote.

All the signs were there, isolation, depression, unbalanced temper everything they tell you as warning signs of a perpetrator and victim were there, including including blaming her self.

I don't know how this dude got his hands on her journal or if she is alright, or if the cops investigated at all after my ex showed it to them.

But I felt ill at ease after reading it.

So I told my Ex I would go with her when the time comes partly to support her and partly to get a look at this dude.

Not that it matters, I know men and have called some friends who have done things to women.

They don't have horns growing out of their heads, no tails, some of them were really cool.

But I guess that's what is most disturbing about it, you cant tell by looking at them.

And now the Chris Brown incident takes a twist in my head.

When I first heard about it the first thing that popped in my head is, what did she do?

What did she do to set him off.

I know I wasn't the only one thinking it, hell people were out right saying it, we wrote are own scenarios of what happened, she hit him first when he got a call from another woman, he find out he got herpes from her, she spit in his face, on and on.

Grasping onto something that would rationalize what happened and both unintentionally or intentionally providing a way out for him and the issue of violence against women.

Every one including me had something to say or are scared to say something about it.

Even now I am unsure how to feel about it, or what should be done about it, this is a matter for cooler heads than mine in my opinion.

But what I do know is that the issue of domestic violence has taken a back seat to sensationalism and celebrity watch with those two.

The teaching moment is quickly being lost, and yes there is a teaching moment here for little girls and boys and men as well.

A lot of times when men become the topic of discussion for wrong doing by women the one step on the path of solving the problem is rarely taken.

And that's talking to men about it.

Men are the ones doing it and men should be addressed about it.

But the reaction seems to be to huddle up among women, curse the men out, swear not to have anything to do with them and shoot dirty looks at men when they walk by.

Men mean while shake our heads and pretend were are born with out eyes, ears, or mouths.


Ain't me and ain't nobody I know so not my problem, that's usually the thinking.

I am no scientist but I am pretty sure that wont solve anything.

Think about it, do you think a man on the street who has been surrounded and experienced violence in his life and has accepted it as a problem solving solution cares were a woman is from, who she is with, what degree she has, what her preferences are, if he gets it in his mind that she is asking for it?

If a man plays nice with a woman, showing no signs of violence, until she has committed emotionally and mentally to him you think she is going to be able to walk out just like that?

My Ex saw signs with Frosty and she stayed with him till he almost killed her.

The woman in the journal documented day after day of abuse and I didn't read one thing about her trying to leave.

No, this is a matter for men to speak on openly and honestly in order to get answers and solutions, but you can just feel how things are going are going that the opening for that is quietly being closed again till the next time it makes the front page news about two people we all think we know and don't know us.

Stunna of the Month: Salma Hayek





I wasnt sure who I was going to put on for this month, I felt greatly uninspired by many of the women currently working out there, and hell after Michelle Obama everyone else I was thinking seemed pale in comparison.

The women I have put were not just eye candy they either were game changers in their field or my life, what I am trying to avoid is this turning into an eye candy piece, anyone can do that.

So I was going to ask readers who they would like to see when I cam across this vid that I used for a previous post.

I am sorry but that right there warmed my heart.

That is giving of your self that I just wasnt expecting at all, caught me completely by surprised.

Maybe the cynic in me is at the point that I just dont expect nice things from people with out an agenda.

But not this time I have no answers for a woman that pulls her breast out and feeds a starving child with her milk.



Only thing I can say is bravo.

I cant think of any woman who I know who would do something like that.

I cant look at any celebrity and say they would do the same.

Naw...this lady is bucking for Mother Teresa teritority right there.

Some old Sainthood, and she has my vote.

So I am going to put Salma on for this one.


From Wiki.
Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez (born September 2, 1966) is a Mexican and American actress, director, and television and film producer. Hayek has appeared in more than 30 films and performed as an actress outside of Hollywood in Mexico and Spain. Hayek's charitable work includes increasing awareness on violence against women and discrimination against immigrants.[1]

Hayek is the first Mexican national to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. She is one of the most prominent Mexican figures in Hollywood since the legendary Dolores del Rio. She is also, after Fernanda Montenegro, the second of three Latin American actresses to achieve a Best Actress Oscar nomination.



It doesnt her that she is fine as hell either, that made my decision pretty damn easy too.

So Stunna of the month for Feburary is Salma Hayek.

The Make It Rain Stimulus Package.

I couldn't wait till next Tuesday to put up this good news.



The stimulus package regardless of what you heard is a good thing.

1-It gives tax beaks to 95% of families even the ones who doesn't make enough to pay income taxes, (how the hell do you get by on that?).

2- Income tax deduction for sales taxes paid on new autos and interest payments on car loans.

3- It makes money spent on home improvements geared toward energy efficiency tax deductible.

4- The $13 you get in your check although may not seem that much you multiply that by 100 million working people with the idea that they spend it (which is why they only gave so much so you don't try to hoard it), that's $1.3 billion pumped back into the economy

5- Money into infrastructure projects (more jobs)

6- Health care (less money spent)

7- Money for renewable energy development and conservation (less money spent on gas and we can tell the Middle East to go f$%&* themselves)

8- Unemployment extension.

9- Food stamp benefits.

That's just the tip of it.

This economy is is basically set up like a rapper who just got an advance from his label.

He is supposed to make it rain in the nearest strip club.


That's how it works, give just enough cash and tax breaks so you spend it which in turns creates jobs were those newly employed spend money, and in turn create more jobs.

It's a vicious cycle but a necessary one.

That's why I don't get bent out of shape during the holidays, like Valentines that just past.

Yeah I know it's a scam, you know it's a scam, they know it's a scam, but every one gets paid off the scam in theory.

And if you don't have enough to spend than here comes the creditors to loan you some money so you can spend some more so they can get paid too off the interest and late fees.

It's messed up but welcome to capitalism if you haven't figured it out by now.

The problem is were you spend the money.

It's like buying a $20 sack of weed.

Every one put in $5 on it to get their high on but than here comes some dude jumping in on the rotation.

Like whoa man?!

You ain't put in on this, you just gonna try and smoke for free?


Same thing when you buy foreign.

Yeah lets say for example the kicks you just paid $150 were made in Thailand.

Wouldn't be so bad if Thailand were in turn buying American but there not and if they were it's not on the scale we buy from them.

The only people who get paid off that is corporate big heads who than get paid extra well when they screw up a business.

How the hell do you get paid million of dollars in severance package for screwing up a job?

And why are you getting paid so much for anyway?

Anyway that's the concept of the package for people to feel safer to spend more money, with the idea that it will get the economic ball rolling again.

It's still good news or would you rather be broke?

Good News Tuesday: President Obama signs SCHIP

The feel good vibe is not over yet during post-election year so far for President Obama, but you can feel there is some sobriety settling in among us supporters as people start to worry about their jobs they do or do not have.

And the GOP and Fox News have geared it up as they are already fight every idea that pops up and than blame it on Obama as they set the stage for the next election.

So let me light a candle instead of trying to cast a shadow in the dark cause the truth is the ball is in the White House's court and we have to wait and see if the stimulus package will give the economy a jolt.

Here is something I like to bring up as good news that you can see now since people are expecting to wave a magic wand and turn everything around today because they are to short sighted to see the benefits of the stimulus package in the long run.

So here is some good news for Tuesday that may have been lost in the mass panic of the economy.

Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 2

*****If there was ever a holiday that I was glad I am working on it's this one.

I got out of three dates tonight cause of it, now some might think well that's what you get for messing with three woman.

WRONG!

They were really good friends that I have been flirting with and feeling out yet some how they were completely available tonight and were hinting at going out.

I just got my car out the shop and I am tapped out any way.

This was a God send.

*****Speaking of cars since when have mechanics tried to play men for fools?

I have been getting hesitation out my truck at high speeds and couldn't figure it out why myself so i took it to the mechanic last week to have them check it out, I am thinking it's may be the transmission.

This dude tells me that's he is going to have to take the tranny out and take it apart to find out what the problem is and that it will cost $900.

This of course wont include the price for actually fixing what ever the problem really is.

Say what?

Dude didn't even look at the rest of the car he just went off what I thought it might be.

I am staring at this dude like are you serious?

I mean for real I am supposed to be cool with that?

So I take my joint to another spot and they tell me it's the distributor and fuel injectors and it will run $400.

That other bastard doesn't have to worry about getting my business again.

*****Back to V-Day, I got over like a fat rat this time around in terms of keeping my money, three cards $12, three dozen roses $36, one wine and country Godiva Collection Gift Basket retail $50 I get it for free (it's good to work for a company that likes to treat it's workers right).

Total $46.

What I spent last year?

$375 and change, I don't even have the cheap ass gifts that were passed off on to me anymore.


***** On another note who loves a catfight?


YOU KNOW I DO!!!!

I gave one of my lady friends a ride to the Dekalb county jail, were one of her family members was being held, for visitation, (yeah, yeah I know keep the jokes to your self).

While there there is this cute little lady with a baby talking to her friend, loudly about why she has to wait 45 minutes to see her fiance.

I can tell she is getting hot by the second.

She than goes on about how that "bitch" better not be up there, you get were this is going right?

Well the door opens up to let the visitors out..... the lady hands her kid to her friend......I tense up......a bigger girl walks out through the door........BAM!!!

That little woman dropped the hell out of her!!

She is beating the hell out of this chick, I mean this isn't even a catfight this is a straight beat down.

Everyone in the room is just stunned frozen except the guards who jumped her after what seemed forever to me.

She is cursing up a storm the other girl is on the floor bloody as hell, I know her nose is broke.

This nut went and beat up a girl in a prison waiting room while her kid watched.

One kid with mom and dad locked up.

Loving couple sharing the same prison yet still cant see each other.

Guards with a short trip to go to lock her ass up.

I fully entertained.

That's your people.



****Speaking of people......my people, my people.......

....no damn that, Mimi and Wynsters come get your cousin.

I hope everyone had a good one and if not there is tomorrow, now excuse me I got to pretend to do some work.

Happy Valentines Day.

True Story 19: Ms. BootyStar's Return.


I haven't heard from Ms. Bootystar for a minute so when I get a call from her earlier this week I was surprised to hear from her but not as surprised as the topic she decided to call about which was why and how she broke up with her ex.

I am not sure why I was the one "blessed" to be the shoulder to be cried on but I was curious anyway so I listened.

Apparently dude's ex wife called on him during the holidays for chit chat and some how he felt it was a good idea to tell Ms. Bootystar.

She gets to asking him how he felt about that and he says well he doesn't know.

I flinch, wrong answer, I'm thinking, dead wrong.

She, full of pride and and jealousy, tells him to step and hear I am listening to her vent, she is all on the phone indignant that he has the nerve to answer the phone and carry on a conversation with his ex-wife, despite the fact that he spent the holidays with her not the ex.

Now mind you this woman is still legally married to her ex which she has been separated from for the last 7 years.

Now I am only half paying attention to her now cause....well....I'm just not a Lifetime channel type of dude.

I'm saying, the woman overreacted and may have ruined a "good thing for her" with that mouth of hers.

So to get her off the phone I tell her some old Dr. Phil shit like "well the man did not cheat on you, he has history with her so he cant completely shut her out, and here he is being honest about it and your punishing him for it, your feelings are natural but you allowed them to control you and cloud your judgement............

...................AND YOUR STILL MARRIED".

Come the hell on, exactly what dude is supposed to take you seriously if you still got paper work on you unless he sees that as an excuse not to commit to you which means you don't even have to think about walking down that isle again, you are now the life time girlfriend, and keep on having diarrhea of the mouth and you will be downgraded to jump off.

But as typical with someone with an ego that has gotten out of hand over time, they do no wrong and they are wronged by everyone.

I spent over an hour on the phone listening to the sob story about how he has the audacity this she did this blah, blah, blah...........


.............and anyone who knows me, knows I hate talking on the phone for more than 5 minutes let alone an hour.

I finally convince her she should give it more thought than the the quick fire response she gave it and at last got her off the phone.

Next day I get a call from her saying that she is back with her boyfriend, (I should have gotten a damn check).


Congratulation, bye is what is getting ready to come out of my mouth till she say she want to thank me by giving me a corner piece for my place.

I have no idea what that is but I am all ears at this point, but at the same time cautious, cause this is the same chick that was supposed to cough up a hook up on some furniture but didn't come through.

She goes on to tell me it's her way of saying thanks for listening and being a friend.

Really?

I guess there is something to this nice guy bit.

She invites me to pick up the piece over at her house, so I make my move to her spot with the quickness.

I get to her front door and this woman answers it wearing a t-shirt that reaches to her thighs.

I KNOW SHE AIN'T WEARING PANTIES.


Just like I know the sky is blue,


bears shit in the woods,


the New York Knicks suck big this year,



and Obama is still President.


Normally I would be pleased by such a initiative shown by a woman who knows what she wants, especially if what she wants is me, but the truth is I am more annoyed that she thinks she can play me with such ease.

I ain't in the mood for the games so I make sure to keep arm distance as I enter the spot, and act like I am blind as hell engaging in small talk all the while she is standing there as casually as can be acting like she is dressed for church.

She walks me to the piece and the best way I can describe it is a mahogany open 4 shelves thing that literally fits in the corner of the walls, (I really need to learn how to upload pics from my cell to the computer).

It's something I wouldn't have thought to get for my self but I figure it will give me points with guest for having such good taste.

Now before I can tell her thank you she decides to take a book she left on the bottom shelf off, bending at the waist to do so.

Yup...you got it....up goes the bottom of the T and there she is flashing me her caramel moon that has caused many a man to have gone mad from staring into it's shining bright promises.

The tits on this chick I tell you....

I cant lie I was stuck looking at that celestial fat cat from the back with it's sideways Cheshire grin that seemed to purrrrrrr my name ever so gently promising me that it would get louder and sweeter if I came closer.


But I ain't biting literally or figuratively, not this little bird, so when she turns around I make like I was looking at something else.

I move like a hustler closing the deal on a con, all the while keeping her out of my reach, I keep the convo brisk and short all the while grabbing the shelf, thanking her, and making my way out the door.

I can tell she is confused by my break away and that confusion is my cloud under which I make my escape.

When I get in the car and pull off, I cant help but smirk at the whole thing.

Play me will you?

No sweet cheeks, I am the big game hunter around these parts, I do the stalking.

But of course nothing is ever as simple as that with her, I get a call while on the road from her in a voice that's very business like asking me when I was going to clean her car.


Come again?

Here she goes, "I need my car clean, that's a fair trade".

Trade?

I know damn well we didn't discuss this or else I would of said hell no, but to late now, I already decided to keep the piece.

I want to argue the point but why even bother, I might as well be talking to the wall than her, Id get the same results, me talking to myself.

So I tell her when she is ready to let me know and I'll do it.

That reminds me I need to get a new phone.....................

Good News Tuesday: Salma Hayek Really Cares.

I mean really, really, really, really cares.

Please watch All Of It.


This is the type of corporate responsibility that I like to see all though you can say well they are just making sure they have babies to sell pampers to, (Damn why wont the cynic in me just die!!).

50 million shots ain't no joke, that's saving an entire generation.

This moved me I felt for this one for real.

On to another note.

Now I could joke all day about Salma Hayek breast feeding little African babies and all but this time I am giving her a pass.

Now of course if this becomes a Hollywood trend like those pocketbook dogs and adopting colored babies, than all bets are off.




OK maybe just one.........thank God it was Salma Hayek cause if it was any other Hollywood celebrity that baby would have gotten a tummy full of silicone.

OK I'm done.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

-Les Brown




That's right boys and girls don't be daunted by the size and scope of the task ahead of you, if that's what you want go get it, and shed everything that's holding you back.

And make sure you take the time to enjoy it when you get it.

Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 1

*****Erykah Badu Gives Birth to her third child. Congrats to her.


Now to the real deal, am I the only one who noticed that this chick has three kids from three baby daddies?

Remember when I talked about that here?

I am not hating or anything.......great singer.....women's prerogative........new era and all.......we shouldn't judge women for doing what men have been doing.......doesn't mean she is any less of a good mother........or that she has poor character......

....but back in my day we called that being a HO!

Update: Big up to Kofi Bofah for this link.

****I hate this man...

...I mean on some real loathing brewing over a black kettle of poison hate.

"Embarrassed?" D'Antoni said the day after Bryant's 61 point performance against the Knicks. "Why should we feel embarrassed?"

WTF!?!?

This dude drops 61 with one on one defense from you, Lebron comes in the next game and shows off his black butt, than the Celtics come to town and you sit there smiling!?

You sit there and try to feed me this well they "played hard", "competitiive", "improving" BS like I am one of the mindless masses happy to see a game!?

You made my team a damn laughing stock!

Hell Isiah Thomas would have sent a goon out there to slow things down you bum.

I can respect that, but you....no not you.

The moment your ass came to NY I knew we were in trouble.

*****Why the hell does smart water taste so good?


I mean water is supposed to taste like water but this stuff here is just a little too good.........

*****K'Naan is going to be in Atlanta March 4th, Im all up in that club for this one.

*****@ the 1:20 min mark, Is this dude Rev Jesse Lee Peterson for real?


Damn?!

And you wonder why brothas don't go to church anymore?

This is exactly why I don't pay attention to people who start spitting out statistics like they are indisputable facts.

Cause they ain't!!

Any lame can flip them to make them say what they want.

And than that punk ass Sean Hannity acting "shocked" at the views we all know the sissy shares with good old Rev. Ruckus there.

I knew Fox News wasn't going to disappoint me, damn Comedy Central watch Fox News!

*****And this joint here!!


How the heck did the cops let this slide?

And they wonder why the public trust in them is shady, you cant even police your selves literally.

*****They are going to put who ever this dude is UNDER THE JAIL.



I got zero sympathy for the parents of this kid.

I just wonder if it was done intentionally done to get new customers, they used to do that shit my day, hooking little kids.

**** I just knew this woman was going to fuck around and give birth on stage.


I might have been interested in the show if she did.

I am sure some one could have found her something decent to wear, the chick looks like she escaped the damn circus.

OSF: New Edition/New Edition members

The best boy band ever!!

You may keep your knock offs and bootleg groups N.E. was the one that had it all on lock.

And the solo talent that came out of their.......whew!!

Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, Bell Biv Devoe, everyone had a hit song if not record.

It's hard to choose just one, and more importantly one that has hardly been heard.

Than I have to take into consideration of everyone else choices.

So I went for the triple play of my favorite non N.E. joints.







Happy OSF and weekend.

Good News Tuesday: Michael Steele

Salon News.

.......second came Friday, at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting, when former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele was chosen as the party's new -- and first African-American -- national chairman. Held up side by side, these two votes demonstrate that Republicans remain unified in what they stand against, but, aside from sensing they might be a little too white, are far less certain what they stand for.

.......Steele has been falling upward throughout a career marked by a series of professional failures. He dropped out of the seminary, finished law school but never passed the bar, started a consulting firm that had no clients, and was rumored to have been let go from a job working for the Mills shopping mall firm because he was spending too much time engaged in party politics. When he ran as Robert Ehrlich's lieutenant governor running mate in 2002, the Ehrlich campaign put Steele on the payroll so he'd have a regular income.

But Steele has proved very capable in party and electoral politics, steadily graduating from Prince George's county chairman, to Maryland state chairman, to lieutenant governor and then leader of GOPAC, the organization founded by Newt Gingrich in the late 1980s to recruit, train and elect Republicans to national office. He is clever, telegenic and comfortable working a room. And he was the best-organized contender Friday: Team Steele had 15 whips among the 168 voting delegates working the floor. After he trailed Duncan by just six votes on the first ballot, his team built on his momentum. Steele was tied on the second ballot, later drew Blackwell's endorsement, staved off a late challenge by Dawson in the fourth and fifth rounds, and got the requisite majority on the sixth.




Lol, now this is good news all around if you have a twisted mind like my self.

You can take your pick.

You can say that this is another great day in the history of Black America by his selection.

You can say the GOP is finally taking a full step towards embracing black voters by show and proving with there selection of Michael Steele.

You can say they are shedding some of their fringe elements that have cost them this election like the Christian right, war hawks, big corporations.

You can say that this is a sign that they are redefining themselves and we will now see a more moderate party something more in tune with the world as opposed to small town America.

Or if your a cynic.....

He is just a seat warmer till the GOP figures out it's next move.

You can say he is a puppet and that the real shaker and movers are behind the scene rebuilding the empire while they use him to disarm the masses.

You can say this was just a "Sarah Palin" move and just proves further how out of touch the GOP really is. (And given his track record here, I am inclined to believe that)

Doesn't matter to me, the way I see it his election is a milestone and should be respected as such.



Now if you will excuse me I have to try to not die laughing.

What I am Rockin: BelO

BelO-Jasmine


Giving yall some new new, or rather some new new to you so you can free you mind, cause the radio stations got it on lock.

Deal Breaker 8: Unconditional Love.



"Unconditional love is a term that means to love someone regardless of his actions or beliefs."

Don't even ask me about that.

Never again will I do that BS again.

You know what they say about it being better to love and loss than not to love at all?

I wish I caught the mutha who said that, I would still be beating his ass.

See what they don't tell you about unconditional love is that it is an unstable, irrational and volatile emotion that will explode into a fiery inferno usually caused by realization by one partner that the other partner has abused, mistreated, betrayed, bartered or rejected the love you have given to them.

And that realization turns into the most debilitating pain known to man, it cripples you, it leaves a poisonous bile that seeps from your shattered heart into your guts blocking any food from coming in and expelling anything from you guts out.


It creeps into your bones like a cancer and robs you of strength leaving you paralysed were you lay.

It creeps into your eyes and effects the retina's making you sensitive to light, seeking out the cool embrace of darkness.

It moves in waves into your brain like syphilis gone unchecked and slowly pushes you to madness.

It twists your soul into a an ugly bitter thing, like a child abused all it's life all it knows and can give is pain.

That is the other side of unconditional love they don't talk about.

But with that pain boys and girls comes a clarity of the mind, a moment of sobriety in a drunken sea of misery.

That's when the mind wraps it's self around a cool logic, a rational that steadies it's self.

Things start to make sense.

Every blues song ever made becomes your gospel.


You decipher things, like Mercutio's Queen Mab rant wasn't a fanciful rant or warning, but a broken man who has had his heart ripped by love and is bitter as hell about it.

(Move to the 2:00 mark for the Queen Mab. )






Things like murder makes sense......


.......and so does the motivation of a murder.


Unconditional love is insanity that leads into a criminal insanity, waiting patiently for it's next sucker to hop on board it's love express and lose his or hers natural fucking mind.



This is what unconditional love leads to if unchecked.


No grown man or woman should ever talk about loving some one unconditionally, hell God doesn't even love us unconditionally!

Think I am lying?!

Think about it.

It is clear as day light, you sin you lose and you burn.

Take you ass to church, temple, or the mosques all you want chump, if you ain't doing right the other days your going to the devils barbecue and your ass is on the menu.



Unconditional love is for little kids who don't know better, puppy love......



Hell no you can keep that friends, take that cup away from me, I want no part of that evil brew.

Instead I will take conditional love.

Conditional love comes with rules, it comes with the understanding that if you fuck me over I am out, the blog is full of my conditions so no need to rehash them.

Bottom line thats the only way it is going to work for me.

Deal Breaker.


Pssst.....dont forget to check out Diversity Ink.

Steelers Win And So Do I!
