So God has, once again, proven to be all provider and all knower. Worried about keeping up my reputation and being thorough, an angel came to me and started working for free. Flew herself in and has been a great asset. Just for the opportunity. She is not a teenager , she is a grown ass woman.
So i’m trying to figure out how to sneak her into the camp. The pace of Pop is much different than rap. There’s a reason pop stars are POPULAR, they are constantly moving. So she’s been helping me with daysheets and the like. Catching up with the pace. And it just so happens….we need another person on crew to do whatever….another “indian” as we have so many chiefs. And VOILA!!! This bitch was already about to use her miles to come and help me regardless …and just a wee bit of positive energy, putting yourself in the right place at the right time, seeing the BIGGER PICTURE, and…..well, I’m just a little bit moved. We hired her. And she only worked for free for a month.
It’s funny to watch kids these days act as if they cannot function if they do not have a cable, a computer, Ipod, Gameboy, cell phone, you name it. A few years back my sister gave my niece a book for Christmas. She had to be around 5 or 6 at the time. My niece looked at the book, then asked, “What does it do?” My niece said that it did not talk, make noise or come with a CD or DVD and politely tossed it to the side. WOW, that from a 5 year old!!!
Does anyone remember when kids did not need all of those fancy things? Truth be told many families could not afford all of those things. The same probably holds true today, but our society would rather go broke then to not keep up with the latest trends.
Whether I was playing with my friends on the block or my cousins “Down South”, we always found some way to have fun without anything electronic or costly. What happened to the days of hide-and-go-seek, Red light- Green Light - Stop, Dodge ball, jump rope, tag, neighborhood drill teams, making up dances with your friends?
Did you guys enjoy playing on the block or in the neighborhood as kids?
I’ve been sitting on the BQE for an hour coming from the Verrazzano Bridge. I knew this would happen. I bet everyone 230pm arrival. They said…”oh no, Long Island ain’t that far.”
So I did what any normal person would do, made the the driver turn on DJ Quik’s , “Can I Eat it?” It’s inspiring.
My sister is coming to tonight’s show, amazing.
My girl Amy.
My girl Tanya.
And tomorrow we’ll chill and watch Lynard Skinnard and Bobbie. I’ve never been to a country and western hick party before. I’m ready to rock my poom pooms. I was looking for a confederate bikini but to no avail I hope the weather holds up. It’s beautiful on the Long Island Expressway right now. 85 degrees and bumper to bumper. We’ll get there one day. But at least DJ Quik will see us through.
And now I have to face the fact that Drake may not be coming back to tour. The reason for todays depressive episode. Aside from him being a cutey patootey, I so believe in him, his growth and progress in his career, I hate the breaks. Working for the Roots you learn one thing, niggas get good because they work all the time. Show after show makes practice perfect. He’s getting better and better. Most rappers can’t use a microphone these days to emit their voices let alone tell a story and capture their audience. You never know how good they are because you can’t hear them!
But Drake….oh well. I’m done. I must be strong. I’m fasting until he’s better. Which I hope is soon. Cuz i’m gettin’ HONGRY!
I can remember growing up and my parents reminiscing in the basement with their albums and 8 tracks. They did (or my mom did while trying to convince my dad) dances like the mashed potato, the twist and the funky chicken. They couldn’t help but laugh and smile as they shared with my brother and I their good times at school dances or B.Y.O.B. cabarets.
In the 70s we saw dances like the bump, the bus stop, the hustle and “LeFreak” with Chic. Who can forget watching the Soul Train lines or John Travolta dancing in Saturday Night Fever or Staying Alive. In the 80s we welcomed the cabbage patch, the wop, the kid-n-play and don’t forget E.U. and “da butt”. I don’t think the 90s are that old skool, but then again 1990 is almost 20 years gone (man time flies!). In the 90s we saw everyone doing several versions of the electric slide, voguing with Madonna, shakin their rumps with Wrecks-n-Effect and jumping as high as you can to Black Sheep’s ”The Choice is Yours”(….if my train jumps off the track pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!)
Fam–what are some of your favorite old skool dance memories? I can remember my friend April having a slumber party, riding in her dad’s Winnebago to Celebration Station and all the girls were up doing the Pee-Wee Herman when the song came on the radio:-)
A man meets a gorgeous woman in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together.
They get back to her place, and as she shows him around her apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears.
Hundreds of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher and huge bears on the top shelf along the wall.
The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that’s so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.
After a night of passion, as they are lying together in the after glow the man rolls over and asks, smiling, “Well, how was it?”
The woman says, “You can have any prize from the BOTTOM shelf.”
The Elderly Couple
A couple, age 67, went to the doctor’s office. The doctor asked, “What can I do for you?”
The man said, “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?”
The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said, “There is nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.” And he then charged them $32.00.
This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse, pay the doctor and leave.
Finally the doctor asked, “Just what exactly are you trying to find out?”
The old man said, “We’re not trying to find out anything. She is married and we can’t go to her house. I am married and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $60.00 and the Hilton charges $75.00. We do it here for $32.00, and I get back $28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the doctor’s
When we are in a relationship you have ups and downs. Perhaps you are dealing with a person cheating on you, domestic violence, or just not showing any type of love to you. I can’t judge why you decide to hang in there. Maybe it’s financial or the thought of being alone. Nonetheless, why do people make excuses for the pain their boyfriend/girlfriend or even spouse do to them? Holla at your boy!
Welcome to the first posting of COMEDY TODAY. We will bring you a few minutes of humor to make your day more enjoyable. Let us know what works for you and what doesn’t.
I got hit 3 times tonight. Not by all of the giant bodyguard negroes that were there, no blonde, 6′0 tall, cheery white boys skipping down the aisles cups filled with beer a’plenty, thrilled beyond belief to be at the “Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival”. MTV, Rollingstone and Spin covered tonight. Ticket counts are unbelievable. Rows and rows of happy go lucky Wayne Concert goers.
It looked like people were having a great time. We put a good show together. I was stressed but I suppose not as much as I have been before. I flushed it all out over the weekend. It’s not over yet, but it should be getting smoother. Tomorrow is a day off and I have to spend the whole day finishing Peas stuff. I should try to get a good nights sleep.OH YEAH, I had to go to the dentist today. So I get my crown covered, and get 2 teeth filled. Took me 3 shots to get numb. Retarded. I was annoyed, but entertained by the hot George Hamilton dentist who slightly peeved me out. I had no where to go but to listen to his advances which were so forward, I could have thrown up. But he could have been slightly cute and great to hang with had he not been so forward. I mean damn. I know my skin is chocolatey smooth but S%^T. Stop rubbing on me. Wowzers.I must nap now. I have to break news.
With all this technology in the world today, we have to be cautious of what we allow our children to see. The computer can really be a sneaky tool for our kids. They get on Myspace, Facebook, and even YouTube acting like they are just looking at there friends page or watching a funny video. Question, should we allow our children to access to these sort of websites? Especially with all the crazy post, wild pictures, and even chester the molester on! Holla at your boy!
