As promised, here’s my post for the week.
“The stakes don’t matter. It’s the consequences we gotta live by.”
Freeway- State Property 2
This is such a powerful quote. To me at least. When I heard it I had to write it down. I mean nowadays people are so willing to glorify and do the “bad” things in society( drugs, violence, etc)without thinking about the consequences. For every action there is a reaction. Cause and effect. But it really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you can handle to consequences that come along with it. Good or bad. Is the crime really worth the punishment? It depends on whom you ask, I guess. It is what it is.
Peace and Blessings

“Nobody appreciates his girlfriend until he gets herpes from the next broad.”
Drama- Entourage
Now how real is that? Just an updated “You never miss your water until the well runs dry.” No matter which one you interpret better, they both say that you should appreciate what you have while you have it. Good and bad. If everyday’s a sunny day, then what’s a sunny day? Nothing!!! You need to experience the cloudy or rainy days to fully enjoy and appreciate those sunny days. Think on it. It is what it is.

I’ve been struggling with myself on whether or not to talk about this first topic but here goes. I know this has been discussed and blogged to death but why Bobby and Whitney? Why? First the Fat Boys break up( shout to Jay Z)…. They seemed so right at being so wrong. What about Being Bobby Brown? That was one of my favorite reality shows( I think Bravo does really well in reality TV). They gave so many bad relationships hope. They had people thinking ” we have our problems, but we’re no Whitney and Bobby and they’re still together. Maybe we can work it out.” They were free relationship therapy by just watching them. When I got the news of the divorce filing the first thing I thought was, hell to the naw!!!! I guess all good things must come to an end. Oh well, it is what it is.
On to other news…..
Not to get political, but has anyone seen the new republican commercial trying to justify the war? Who are they fooling? Are you for real? The president held a press conference today(9-15) and sounded his usual lost self… smh… Oh well, it is what it is. He gives C students a bad name.
Moving on to happier news….
Jay Z is coming out of his 3 year( if you don’t count his numerous guest spots) retirement from hip hop on November 21st with ‘Kingdom Come’. I knew it wouldn’t last. I’m actually surprised that it lasted this long. I mean how many times has Too Short retired only to drop an album the following year? Hopefully he won’t pull a MJ( no disrespect to MJ, but we all saw he couldn’t run with the new kids.. half of them grew up trying to be like him). Not that anybody new is close to touching Jay’s skills, but you get the point. The game has changed. I just want him to go out on top. Don’t be a George Foreman or Muhammed Ali is all.
Next topic
What’s the deal with the new Survivor? I have to admit the plan worked. At least on me it did. I have not seen survivor since the first season. And I didn’t even watch the whole season, just bits and pieces. So when I heard all the hype surrounding the division of the tribes by race, I told myself I wouldn’t watch and that it would only further confirm racist stereotypes. But I did watch it. By accident( for real!!). I was watching an earlier Regis and Kelly( #1 morning talk show) on DVR and when it went off the TV was already on the channel and I got sucked in. I doubt if I will watch it all the way until the end, even after they combine the tribes. The thought of being stranded on an island is just not that appealing to me. Now the new season fo Amazing Race is about to start. That is something I will make a point to watch/record. That’s all for today. until next time. It is what it is.

I know I shouldn’t say this, but shut up! I hate it when i’m in a public place and there is somebody yelling as loud as possible into a cell phone. If you can’t hear than call them back when you can. I do not need to hear about who Pookie ‘nem got into a fight with or which new teen is pregnant. Trust me, no one else wants to hear your conversation. Especially not me during my quiet time in the elevator. I think more people should use cell phone etiquette. It seems I hear either the person next to me screaming into the phone or I hear the person on the other end screaming. I’m tired of all the noise. I have resorted to bringing my Mp3 player with me everywhere just to hopefully drown out the loudness. It only works half the time. the other half I’m just pretending and really eavesdropping on their phone call. I’m not the nosey type but if you’re going to talk loud enough for the world to hear than the world is going to listen. It is what it is.

Sometimes I see people do things or wear things and I say to myself ‘are you for real?’ This can’t be right, I must have taken that red pill instead of the blue one.
I’ve got to be stuck in the Matrix!! Now I know some people have their own style of dress and their own way of doing things but come on. Now I’m not hating on anyone. In fact I encourage people to do their own thing, pave their own way. But some people tend to go too far. They try to be so original that they just become weird. I’m sure someone out there won’t agree but hey, it is what it is. I remember when it was cool to be different. If everybody had the jacket in red, I would search all over until I found it in blue. Now it’s all about having what everyone else has yet you say you’re being original. ‘Are you for real?’ I like rims and shiny things just as much as the next person but when just one of your rims is worth more than your entire car or when you have thousand of dollars worth of jewelry on but you can’t pay your rent? ‘Are you for real?’ How about the ones with the Benz but living at home in their old room( with the same superman sheets). ‘Are you for real?’ Not to knock those of you that do this, but like I said (all together now) ‘Are you for real?’ Come on man, you gotta step it up. Another thing( I know I sound like the angry black man right now, but it is what it is) I can’t stand is when a man doesn’t take care of his child(ren). ‘Are you for real?’ How about When I see parents looking fresh to def but the child(ren) look like ragamuffins! ‘Are you for real?’ Go to Walmart or someplace and get your kids some nice( nice doesn’t always mean expensive) clothes and wash their face!! I can’t stand to see dirty kids. There are so many things I see on a daily that makes me want to just go back home and start the day all over again hoping for a different outcome. But it never happens. Oh well, I guess everyone has their own thing. It is what it is.

Since I decided to take writing seriously it’s been hard for me to actually find something to write about. Most of my posts are things that I’d written before I really took writing seriously and started this blog. Except for a select few that are about a specific time or event. Before it seemed like I had all kinds of things to write about and it all just flowed out. Now that I have actually taken writing seriously and setup deadlines and such, it seems I have caught a case of writer’s block. The only way to get over writer’s block is to…. well, write. The inspiration will come. I’ve learned (the hard way) to stop looking for things and let them find me. But the writing blues have gotten to me. Luckily I usually write, more like type, something into my blackberry everyday whenever I get bored. Whether it’s a journal entry, words of wisdom, or just a quote for the day. I am always writing or typing something, no matter how much sense it does or doesn’t make. That way I will at least have something to fall back on during my little droughts. Nonetheless I have commited myself to posting something at least once a week, no matter what. More often than not it will be more that once a week, but once is the minimum. Bear with me, I’m trying to turn something that I actually love to do into a career. Slowly but surely.
Peace and Blessings
