Happy Holidays

Have A Good One.

Wordless Wednesday: Happy (early) Thanksgiving

To All The Moms........

Gone Fishing.

I need to take some time to get some things outside of me and inside of me together.

Funny thing is to do it I need to do less thinking and more moving, so blogging is going to have to take a back seat for a minute.

When I get it together I'll be back with the quickness.

I'll still be reading y'all joints and giving my two cents so watch your mouths, lol.

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.

Wordless Wednesday

WTH???? And My Thanksgiving adventures.

A Walmart Store Worker Gets Trampled To Death By A Throng Of Shoppers Who Broke Down Store Doors! [Cell Phone Footage Of Officers Trying To Bring Victim Back To Life]



What the hell is wrong with you people?

It's Walmart!!

There is more than one!

They got mad ish in there.

You see that's why I don't do holiday shopping.

Every one gets cash and better be happy with it, or you gets none.

Update: The more I think about this and what happened at Toy's R Us
the more disgusted I feel.

This is why I don't pay the holidays no mind how the hell can you trample a man to death?

Is your greed so much that you can be that reckless?

If this man has kids there not going to see him for the holidays.

But that's OK because you got that TV, your kids got that Xbox, you got your f$#@ holiday gifts.

Your good.

Mean while some one will be burying their loved one instead.

Crying to sleep at night, trying to hold there sanity together.

Thank you Walmart shoppers for showing us what kind of society we really are.

And than these two idiots want to have a running gun battle in the middle of a toy store?

Can you imagine you there to shop for your kids and next thing you know a John Woo movie breaks out right in front of the Da Bratz dolls.

You put men women and children's lives in danger because you can't get along?

And than you fools cant even shoot straight so you running up and down the asles shooting everything, than finally your selves.

Gang bangers got more sense not to set it off in a toy store, thankfully God was watching and decided he had enough of the two devils and did every one a favor in that store by having them kill themselves.

My only regret is he didn't snatch up the women who started it.

The message of the behind the holidays has long been lost behind million dollar ad campaigns and the latest piece of crap you don't need but you got to have.




Any way back to the script.

I did my thing this holiday by making the rounds of some dinner, Georgia being the lame ass dry state that it is, I had stopped by the liquor store the day before to get my peace offerings.

I planned on hitting up three spots and each home drank something different, I had to buy a case of Bud Ice for one spot, case of Colt 45 for another and Corona for the third.

I got a hang over that wont quit.

I went to one friends house and started drinking and eating good food, poor drinks.

They had the Bud Ice and Christian Brother's Brandy, I didn't want to be rude by turning my nose so I knocked a couple of cans down, took a few shots.

Besides the PlayStation three was up and it was Madden time, man the ish talking was of high quality that night, a couple of fights almost broke out because of that game and yours truly walked out with the belt.

The Ex called me while I am p[laying and asked if I wanted to go to her sisters to eat, I said no because I already had an itinerary for the night.

Come to find out later she need a ride there to her sister's place who lives ten minutes from her and no one would pick her up, so her and her daughter stayed home Thanksgiving.

Now if she had asked out right "hey can you give me and my daughter a ride.." I would of did it no problem.

But instead she tried to play slick by inviting me over there to eat knowing damn well that she has never invited me over before after we broke up.

Now whats that tell you when your own kin doesn't want to be bothered with you?

Tells me I was a fool for messing with you.

But back to the script.

So I leave homeboys house who stays around the corner from me to head over to my other homeboys spot out by the governor's mansion.

It was a trek out there especially with the cops running amok, but it was worth it.

That place was decked out, food was ridicules (I am trying to cut down on my meat intake so I opted to go veggie this holiday which means a whole lot of starch), and the drinks were top shelf right up my alley.

Ms Booty Star calls me to stop by to get a plate but she has rubbed me wrong this week so I passed.

And guess what?

That's right the PS3 was on and popping this time with the Friday Night Fight on.

I left out of there with that belt too.

It's around 12 midnight before I head out of the final spot over in the west side of Atlanta off Cleavland Ave.

This was the spot of a woman who has a crush on me but I wont take her seriously so I have been avoiding her, but she insisted and I knew that her spot would be jumping.

And damn if it wasn't!

Wall to wall booty all over the place, the food extra greasy and fattening and the drinks bottom barrel, this is were I brought the Colt 45, but plenty of it, besides they smoked so much weed you were lucky if you didn't get a contact high.

And of course the PS3 was there this time with the NBA Live running.

The ish talking was intense over here, with two people having to be separated.

Than the night got lame when some one's Son came up there plastered and high talking about his girl who is going to leave him, because there is no lights on in the house, and they are about to get evicted.

Mind you there are three adults in the house and none of them are working.

That was my cue to leave, I did the thank yous and slid out of there, got home at 3 am and didn't wake up till Friday night.

That was a good Thanksgiving.

Wordless WednesDay

or for the more cynical......




Happy Thanks Stealing!!!

Happy Labor Day!

Back again.

Well spring break is here and I can finally unwind for the week, thus more blogging.

New Years Resolutions.

Lets see New Years resolutions.

Normally I do not make these because I usually do not pay attention to them once I

make them but I feel this year will be different.

• Stay a bachelor, (no worries here)

• Take these school studies more seriously (like I got a choice)

• Lose some weight, (why the heck is it when you start school you put on weight?)

• Cut down on my drinking, (yeah right)

• Travel more, (Planning to)

• Stay drama free for the year, (I can actually do this)

• Blog less, (Don't know about this one, this is kinda of addictive)

• Go to more concerts, (This past summer I missed out on a lot of acts)

• Brush up on my French, (Easier said than done)

• Listen more, (Some times you do not have all the answers)

• Stop procrastinating, (I am blase blah about everything)

• Get Money, (Of course)

Well that's good enough for me.

I am solid on every thing else so far.

Any Ideas?

Product Placement: Barbancourt Rhum

Barbancourt Rhum




New Years is coming up and I am staying dry till than to fully appreciate my tippsyness for the end of the year.

Any one who knows me knows I am a professional drinker.

In fact they call me fish.

A byproduct of college.

In fact it is amazing I have not turned in to an alcoholic.

But I digress.

My favorite sip, and the one I break out for the special occasion is the award winning Haitian Rhum Barbancourt.

Now I do not drink the cheap stuff it kills my stomach.

Top shelf all the way.

I like my liquor like to be in line with my taste in women smooth, dark, strong, not to sweet and not offensive, pleasing to the eye versatile and full of personality. (You can tell I am a drinker).

And Barbancourt is a very sophisticated lady in deed.



The taste is very unassuming smooth going down.

But careful! It is strong and unlike most liquors this one will sneak up on you slowly.

There are different grades.

3 Stars aged 4 years. You can use this with your more traditional mixers.

5 Star aged 8 years. light mixing with this one please. Something like lemon or lime juice or a dash of coco cola.

Reserve Du Domaine aged 15 years. This one is my drink. I take it straight.

They have a white rhum but I have yet to sell out...err.. I mean try it yet.

Try these recipes:

Rhum on the Rocks
2 oz. Rhum Barbancourt

Pour over ice cubes.
Add a lemon twist.
Barscent
1 oz. Rhum Barbancourt
1/2 oz. Absente
1/2 oz. Cointreau

Serve in shot glass or over ice.


Rhum Barbancourt Daiquiri
1 tsp. Sugar
1-2 oz. Rhum Barbancourt
1/2 oz. Lime Juice

Shake well with cracked ice and strain.


Corkscrew
1-1/2 oz. Rhum Barbancourt
1/2 oz. Dry Vermouth
1/2 oz. Peach Liqueur
1 slice Lime

Shake well all of the ingredients and strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.

Drink well but safe.

Product Placement: My top Albums Of The Year

I am just now getting back into buy CDs instead of straight jacking singles.

Reason being the albums I have brought have been good as in every track good so I do not mind paying as opposed to bootlegging because the LAZY S.O.B. decided he wanted to pass off a bunch of ring tones off as an album thus STEALING from me!

This was a good year for me in terms of R&B and Hip-Hop.

So I am going to share what I brought because the artists put some work in. In no particular order.

Ladies first:

Chrisette Michele

Now any body who knows me knows I pretty much hate R&B the way women hate rap right now.

Both of us have good reasons to.

It's all formulae.

Every one is a knock off of the old Mary J. Blige.

Keisha Cole, Sunshine Anderson, even F#$8% Jill Scott sold out!

I am tired of N#@^% did me wrong so all N&%^@ are the same music that feeds off an army of BBW's, (Bitter Black Women), dating issues and thus blames everything with a melanin full penis instead of the ass in the mirror.

The blogosphere is full of S.O.R.,

(Snake Oil Remedies, [sites that prey on the insecurities of people with the "answer" to there problems])

(Hey if they can come up with color full terms why cant I?),

for B.B.W.s.

I would like the radio air waves to stay out of the business.

Enter the sweet, keep the drama to a minimum, Chrisette Michele with "I AM".

A strong jazzy voice, that blows the roof off a club in a wall to wall of hot fire of an album.

I cant just pick one track.

When I listen to her I hear class and maturity beyond her age.

When she says a man did her wrong I believe her!

As opposed to the others out there that make me say you had it coming.

Just plain old love angst.

No soap opera drama here.

It doesn't work well she will "Be Okay" Because she gave you the "Best Of Me".

She know she is a "Good Girl" and the next man she comes across will know she is "In This For You."

Honey is just bad period.

The total package.

Voice, talent, looks, sweet personality, she has it all.

And of course that means in this day and age jack SH@#$ to the army of Zombies,

(and another one! [see mindless followers]),

that are buying music.

That's alright baby I got your back!







Ryan Shaw


I love Hip-Hop but at heart I am a soul man.

That's the reason I can barely stomach R&B now a days.

I know B.S. when I hear it.

Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack, Sam & Dave, Stevie Wonder, you here all in this dude.

It is as if some one in a time machine went to the 60's and 70's and snatched the kid up before he blew up there.

This is not Neo Soul this is Retro Soul, it is exactly what you would hear from those artist today.

And the kid does it with respect, This Is Ryan Shaw album is a time machine giving you the most accurate look of a by gone era. I have not heard any one come close.

Lookin' for a Love, I Am Your Man, Nobody, We Got Love, Over and Done, I Found a Love, there all just plain old love songs. The dance tracks are just that, Do the 45, I Do the Jerk, light hearted fun no hidden porn messages there.

A winner.









Jay-Z

Jay, Jay, Jay, what can I say about Jay-Z that he has not said about him self?

The definition of professional.

Rhymes may lean but never fall, beats always choice cut, personality present on every verse.

One word to describe Jay's music SWAGGER.

Swagger that turns you into a Zombie and makes you want to get some for your self.

American Gangster is oozing with it.

It is supposed to be his second coming of Reasonable Doubt, but in that he missed the mark.

But the movie gave him a chance to spit shamelessly about drug raps and street angst.

No one does that better.

The choice cuts on here are Hello Brooklyn 2.0, Fallin, Roc Boys, and Blue Magic.

A great album to make up for the middle of the line Kingdom Come.




Wyclef Jean


Now I know what you are saying Clef?

That's right Clef, Hip-Hop has become stagnant with the pollution of Uber-producers.

You want a hit that doesn't make you think, see the short list of producers/stars that constantly rob each other of sounds.

With Clef there is no stealing.

You cant steal a Lamborghini and drive through the hood and think the cops wont see you.

That's too flashy, they know you up to no good.

Same thing with Clef's production and collabos.

Who else is going to put Paul Simon, Sizzla, Norah Jones, Mary J. Blige, Melissa Jimenez Will.I.Am, Machel Montano, Daniela Mercury, Black Alex, Djkout Mizik, Chamillionaire, T.I., Akon, Lil Wayne, Serj Tankian on one album and have it work?

Hell the average rap head could not tell you who half the names on that list are, let alone name one of their tracks.

But Damn if those artist's own fan base do not know and they now know Clef.

And they know every one who got on the album with him too now.

Some people talk about pushing the envelope music wise but Clef mails the damn thing around the planet.

Because of that I can forgive his sub par vocals

His rhyme skills are average but compared to the garbage that most spit he gets the title of MC.

The man can most definitely write a song though, evident with Fast Car, Sweetest Girl, What About The Baby, and Any Other Day.

So Yeah Clef.

Mr. International.









Common


Truth be told I did not think Common could out do his last album "BE".

That album was as close to perfect as pretty boy was going to get in my eyes.

Well jokes on me, Finding Forever is deep.

Track like Misunderstood, (he used a Nina Simone sample, I LLLOOOOVVVE Nina),The People, Southside, The Game, U, Black Maybe, So Far To Go, are deep conscience track delivered over smooth sit down and vibe beats.

There are hidden messages in every track so playing it over is a must.

One of Hip-Hops best albums of the year.





Lupe Fiasco


It's almost impossible for a conscience rapper to come out with a hot album.

Something always holds them back.

Monotonous flow (Talib Kweli), poor focus (Mos Def), zero star power (Jean Gray), weak beats (see every one else).

They either hit or miss their tracks never really putting together a solid album.

Dead Prez came close, Talib and Mos Def's collabo Black Star came real close, Mos Def's Black on Both Sides just missed it at the buzzer, that one hurt.

Well worry no more I have the "answer", (lol), to you problems.

It is called The Cool, by the ever so geeky Lupe Fiasco.

Rhyme skill wise he is a fine tuned instrument, very few can come close.

The way Biggie was so smooth with the ish talking that you wish you did sell crack is the way Lupe is with the conscience lyrics.

You can tell that on tracks like Little Weapon about children and guns, or Dumb It Down the way Hip-Hop is treated by the masses.

Lupe comes swooping in this album like one of those Japanese anime character on some Here I Come To Save The Day ish.

He has it all, great story telling "Hip-Hop saved my Life", love angst "Paris, Tokyo", it's all there.

AND THE BEATS ARE TIGHT.

The best album I have bought this year.

It takes a Nerd to save Hip-Hop.

Merry Christmas!!

Man just waking up and now I am off to make some deliveries to some strangers.

One more time.

Merry Christmas!!

Every One Have A Happy Thanksgiving!
