Sample.

It's been years since we've hung out here. The four of us have grown together, apart and back together again. I've decided to pay a visit to my old neighborhood only to see that the once booming area is nothing more than a ghost town. When I was coming up, the stores were once full of energy and customers. Now it's ragged, ran down with barely any signs of life. I walk past the stores that used to be colorful and now they are dull and boarded up with wood. I stand in front of the walkway where there was an old tree that my friends and I carved out our names. Jamie was the athletic one. The star player of the football team, who along the way lost his passion for the game.

Reflections.

Memories of when we first locked eyes

Still watch that video of us sharing a moment

Never would've expected 2 years later, you'd be the prize.

Still feels like a first date when we meet

Fireworks like the 4th of July when we kiss

Late nights holding you close -- knew that I was in for a treat.

Morning kisses greet us when we awake

Seeing you smile and move in close

Moments that we share that no one will ever take.

So now it comes for us to depart

Pictures, laughs and the timeless treasures that we share

Know that I love you from the bottom of my heart.

This Is Gonna Be A Very Hot Summer!!!!

This album. This shit right here!!!!

This is some classic HIP HOP!!!!

Breathe and N.I.G.G.E.R. (Slave and Master) shall be on repeat.

I think that I have to listen to this again probably once more before I go to sleep.

Fried Chicken (feat. Busta Rhymes) goes hard too.

Yeah I'm running this back as I am typing this.

Just My Thoughts

I'm confused on something: Why does good things happen to bad people. Not necessarily saying that they are bad but that they seem to have the luck of the Irish when it comes to life. They can do things to others and be praised for their efforts. But soon as tragedy strikes, then they want folks to feel sorry for them and have compassion in their hearts. But what about those that you stepped on and over to get where you are? You made fun of them, made their life a shambles but yet, you want someone to look at you as a Good Samaritan? Yeah ok that'll be the day when the U.S. elects another Bush in office.

"do you even remember the tender boy
you turned into a cold young man
with one goal and one plan" - Jay-Z "Where Have You Been"

This quote can sum up my feelings on a subject that I briefly discussed a week ago. I'm still trying to find the words to say. It's somewhat hard but I think I'll get it done.

When you live a sheltered life, those actions and traits that you developed, tends to follow you along throughout life. You try to shake them off but in the back of your mind, you get that thought that person will turn their back on you. It's been done previously so you're just waiting for that shoulder to be turned away from you. No trust, no true friends, just my thoughts and views on how the world looks at you and when you try to fit in, you get shunned and ignored. Overworked and passed up and when you are mute, they say that you are acting funny. Stare at the mirror and you'll see who is truly acting funny.

No need for dissing and card pulling, those people know who they are. They might never read this but if they do come across it, it is what it is.

Just Another Over-Commericialized Holiday.

So it is the 4th of July. Where the U.S. gained its freedom from England. But of course that doesn't mean that the Blacks were free either. But I really don't feel like getting political because that really isn't my cup of tea. I'm still I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. But really the 4th of July is just used to make money for businesses such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, your local movie theater, supermarket, etc. Pure capitalism. I mean I used to work @ Home Depot and during the 4th they have specials running. So of course, people with money burning in their pockets will run and in the words of Ralph Bellamy SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!(For those few lost on the reference, please watch Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd) If "I Put On" is going to be Jeezy's debut single from The Recession, then it's gonna continue to be another hot summer.




Patriotic? I think not.

Another Short Week.

Cuz Friday is the 4th and that means 3 day weekend!!! Woot!!!

I saw Hancock and I enjoyed it. It wasn't corny like I originally thought it would be.

So I went out and had dinner with myself. Someone folks actually do that. Anyway I had a pretty decent time.

I really don't feel like working today but it's just tomorrow left and then woohoo!!!!! Time for cookouts!!!! And I have two that I'm invited too.

Beyonce sighting

vvvvvvvvvvvvv

Time for work folks. Ya'll got the numbers. Hit me up. *deuce*

Late Nights Thoughts...

So I'm up late once again just sitting here trying to figure out a few things. So hopefully within the next 15 minutes, I'll be sleeping.

- I don't know why my family wants to keep me on a leash. Like I can't spread my wings and fly. I love them dearly but I need to do things on my own.

- Life is too short people. Anything can change in an instant.

- I saw how much the Instinct cost. And I just might save up to get it.


- Seriously, if Bill Clinton really did say that Obama had to kiss his ass in order to receive his support for the presidential nomination, then he really isn't the "black president" they thought he was made out to be.

- Why do I accept most myspace invites, especially artists but I rarely go to their page to listen to their music? Speaking of which there's an artist named Erk Tha Jerk who has this song called "Don't Need Em". Track is pretty decent coming from an Bay Area artist.

- Now I see why when people go to Dave & Busters and they spent their time at those games where you can easily when tickets. Shit I was cleaning up at the trivia game, even when I wasn't winning I was placing. Babes was killing at the Wheel Of Fortune machine.

- So I guess Nas is coming in two weeks. Eh, I mean when Eazy-E came out with

They had a scratch off where you could see "Muthafuckin" so I'm saying we can't be creative. I still don't understand why folks are so sensitive about "NIGGER". JUST GET OVER IT!!! If you allow that word to bring you down then by all means go ahead and be the punk pussy that you are.

- Damn it's 3:07am. I'm gonna get fussed at later when someone reads this. lol

- So I tried to purchase the 7:00 pm showing for Hancock but I think that it's sold out.

- On a final note, I want to try something new. Pick a topic for me to write about. Don't sit there and say "Oh I don't know". I mean literally pick something and have it ready for me within the next few days.
