It All Started With Six Words (#1....30 Writes in 30 Days)
I paused and pondered
"Come again?"
She repeated "‘consciousness’ doesn’t excuse you from dopeness"
then added "the two arent exclusive, ya know?"
I chuckled
She continued "and if you think about it....
the dopest people are usually the ones that are conscious becuz to be aware IS dope"
I sat back and gazed at her
She knowingly returned my gaze and included a smirk for good measure
Sista was dope
and she knew it
After a while I leaned back in and asked "so where do we go from here?"
With all the confidence in the world she leaned in and offered
"wherever we want, baby"

Aiyana Jones
While taping an episode of "The First 48", Detroit police raid the wrong goddamn house and shoot & kill a 7 year old girl asleep on the couch. Now (not surprisingly) they are trying to suppress the video footage.
I swear they keep giving us reminders that no matter how much this country "pro
gresses", shit will never be sweet! They just don't value our lives.God bless Aiyana and her family.
Read the whole story here.

The "Ordinary Pain" List
2. If I cant write shit else right now, I can list my ass off so here goes nothing......
3. Thanks to Angie and Nyree who kept pushing me to write something....anything.
4. Also shouts out to Les, Lor, Kristin and Andrea who got the listing ball rolling again with our email chain.
5. Hold on yall....it's only a storm. This too shall pass.
6. It's just an ordinary pain (c) Stevie
7. This adulthood shit though!?!?!.......*whew*........I tell you!
8. Call me crazy....but I do kinda miss the myspace hey day
9. Something about it wasn't as wide open and out of control as this twitter/facebook age
10. "(Stevie Wonder's) "Songs in the Key of Life" is a healing Masterwork." - dream hampton
11. If you don't have a copy of "Songs In The Key Of Life" I suggest you get one. It really has answers to just about all of life's problems. Seriously it does!
11. Maybe when I officially become a cool writer type I'll go ahead and switch my name to all lower cases. Only the coolest scribes (i.e. bell hooks and dream hampton) do that.
12. Anyone especially surprised that BP has been lying to us this whole time about the intensity of the oil spill? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
13. Nowadays I have a 'wait and see' attitude about most things. Nothing is ever what they initially say it is.
14. Sometimes I think I have such an unorthodox view of death. It's really not a sad occasion to me. Hard to explain. Definitely no means to jump for joy but I'm not overwhelmed with sadness most times
15. The soul remains alive. I truly believe that just the physical shell expires. The spirit of that person is still there.
16. I have a great-uncle hanging on by a thread right now and I'm dreading sitting through a sad sad funeral.
17. The whole viewing of the body thing I never do. Funerals in general are pretty damn morbid to me.
18. "Hard to be a spiritual being when shit is shaking what you believe in" - Talib Kweli "Respiration"
19. So in case you missed the memo : I GOT FIRED FROM THE HOTEL BEEZY after 6 1/2 years......
20. ......and no it wasn't (as we all thought it would be) for finally hauling off and cussing out a dumb guest
21. Instead I got fired for being late when I told the mgr a month prior to the actual day that I would be late on this particular day b/c I was working a tv production
22. Oh and I also got in trouble for not speaking with a mgr the day of (when I called in to inform them (again) that I would be late that day)......even though there was no manager there when I called
23. To keep it completely 100 though....dude did me a favor by firing me. I didn't need to be there anymore. That place was completely sucking the soul out of me.
24. I'll miss the consistent money though.
25. I wonder why said ex-manager obviously hated me so much as to try to deny me the little money owed to me on my last check and block my unemployment?
26. What kinda unwarranted kick in the nuts is that? I mean it's not like when he fired me I cussed him out, threatened his life and tore the hotel up or anything. I didn't even get "ethnic" or give my speech on who was cool and who could kiss the center of my ass. I was pretty calm if you ask me.
27. No worries though. Im #ontothenext and living my life now. Thanks Mr. Jimenez!
28. ".....I don't ever wanna go back there/ So I wont be taking no days off/ 'til my spaceship takes off. BLAH!" - Consequence "Spaceship"
29. Superior Media Group is the spaceship that I will be making sure takes off btw.....in case you ain't know
30. If I can help it at all....I'm done working FOR people. I don't do well with authority much.
31. Plus I have sooooo many inspiring friends doing their own thing. We are 'Revolutionary Entrepreneurs' for real!
32. The Cavs really disappointed me. I thought this was their year. LeBron doesn't seem to have that killer instinct yet
33. My dude if you're the best player/leader of your team AND league MVP.....if yall gon lose Imma need you take over the game at some point. I know you wanna get your teammates involved and not be accused of being selfish, but at certain times Mr. MVP you gotta throw the team on your back and THUG your way through close games. Mike did it. Kobe does it. Where you at 'Bron?
34. It's gon be an interesting off-season to say the least with LeBron, D-Wade, Melo, Chris Bosh, etc. all free to roam
35. "You just have to write, or give up and forget about it!" - Anonymous
36. I swear I need to write this on post-it notes and hang it all over my place
37. And with that you can consider my blog back bishes!!!!!
38. Now if I can only keep up with that proclamation......that's like the 50-leventh time I dun said that
39. So wait.......Gucci Mane had a post-release from jail news conference? Really?!?!?!?
40. Like what in the mildly retarded hell do you have to talk about dude?
41. What....you thought you was a political prisoner or something?
42. If you don't take your monkey (looking) ass on and make some more mush mouth raps......
43. "Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips/ Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you" - Stevie Wonder "Do I Do"
44. The fact that we went back and forth strictly speaking in Stevie song titles.......lol
45. Happy 60th Stevland!
46. Don't forget the MOVE house bombing in Philly 5/13/85
47. I love Mary J.....but her starring in a Nina Simone biopic concerns me. *crosses fingers*
48. Then again when I got word that Common was the lead in this "Just Wright" movie I was concerned as well......(and yall bet not let me feel like I was the only one)....but thankfully all the feedback I've heard thus far suggests that it's not the worst movie ever made so.....
49. Enjoy the fuckery of "Cook Dem Gritz" : http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/367acafbd5/code-f-i-cook-dem-gritz-bull-official-video
50. "I hate writing. I love having written." - Dorothy Parker
Today Is 5/13/10
Today is also the 25th anniversary of MOVE house bombing in Philly.
Sort of a bittersweet day to say the least.
P.S. How you them apples 'ree?

Misc. Blog 7
*le sigh* I mean obviously there are things to write about b/c the world dont stop moving but I've just not found the inspiration to write about them.
*shrug*
Oh well.....Im an artist. We can be as flaky as we want.
I did decide though that my blog will look different and maybe not be so personal and "all about me"-ish. I'll blog here and there about various shit. You'll see what I mean in time I guess.
Be blessed yall,

Misc. Blog 6
Maybe I've gotten lazy. Actually I've always been a lazy writer. So maybe the drought is just a byproduct of said laziness. Either way it goes I feel guilty about not writing more on this here blog of mine. Maybe I will try something new in the way that I blog. I have lots of friends who either Im just discovering their blog OR who've just started blogging. I see ya Sweet Tee! Maybe I've needed them to light a fire under my ass.
I would say they have given me the definitive push needed and that I will definitely be blogging more but I think I said that in Misc. Blog 5. So with that said.....

The "Later For Cochise!" List
2. Yo word to Shaneen....nobody spits it like 'Pac spat it!
3. That one was for all my peeps currently going through it at the moment. Sometimes life can really do a number on you
4. It's just a valley though. Hold on. Be strong yall. This too shall pass.
5. Oh and......hope yall had a Happy Valentine's Day I guess......*shrug*
6. I listened to alllll the hardcore and gangsta rap I could find on Valentine's Day lol
7. The fact that I love Love is no secret. But at the moment...I'm pretty pissed at it so... "Later for Cochise!"
8. That was a "Cooley High" reference for you young'ins.
9. ".....feeling insecure/ Love has got me sore/ I dont want no more" - Erykah Badu "Green Eyes"
10. "Love is for the brave. Also, for the insane. Mostly the insane." - Jean Grae
11. So after all that bitching I just did.....Minnie Riperton's "Lover and Friend" just came on and instantly I feel better about it all
12. What will be will be I suppose.....but in the meantime I'd better stock up on my supply of big boy underwear b/c I'm pretty damn sure I'll be needing LOTS of them lol
14. Any real friend of mine would see to it that I'm no longer allowed access to amazon.com or ebay
15. The amount of money I've spent recently buying CD's and books.......I should be ashamed
16. But it was CD's and books so.....no I'm not ashamed
17. Could this quote hit me in the head any harder......?
18. "They say if you love something, you've got to let it go/ And if it comes back, then it means so much more/ But if it never does, at least you will know/ that it was something you had to go through to grow" - Heather Headley "In My Mind"
19. Dope song....still kinda stalkerish though
22. Can you believe that the Republicans and Conservatives are trying to make the case that the recent winter storms are proof that Global Warming/Climate Change is NOT real b/c *gasp*......it snowed really badly.....in February!?!?!?!?
28. You know how you'd say 'such and such' is 'giving me life'?
29. Well "Fly Like A Bird" is LITERALLY giving me life and helping me to keep it all together mentally
30. Speaking of MC.....Everytime I hear a "Baby I want you back" song like "We Belong Together"...all I can hear is dude pleading his case for her. *shudders*
31. Oh and.....Mariah's song with Nikki has grown on me. I like Nikki's quirky lil style. #dontjudgeme
32. *whispers* I think I'm a Nikki Minaj fan......dont tell nobody tho, k? Again... #dontjudgeme
33. In case you ain't know and/or didn't get the memo....the new Sade and Corinne Bailey Rae albums are THE BUSINESS!
34. "...sometimes these feelings can be so misleading /She turns and says "Are you alright?"/ I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating" - The White Stripes "Fell In Love With A Girl"
35. "Can't keep away from the girl/ These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting/Can't think of anything to do/My left brain knows that all love is fleeting...." - The White Stripes "Fell In Love With A Girl"
38. Lemme find out that it genuinely throws the womenfolk for a loop when a guy does that whole "say exactly what he thinks/feels" thing
39. Dear God....dont let the whole "Tainted Love" thing be more common than I originally thought!
40. I was on the fence about this Usher "Daddy's Home" song...then I heard a version with Piles on it and needless to say......I fell the fuck off that fence.
41. Piles is 99% unbearable.....the 1% bearable factor is generally reserved for DJ Khaled posse cuts b/c he usually only has like 8 bars
42. Dear John Mayer.....I forgive you. For one I know how yall tend to get a lil too comfortable after a while once you've been "embraced". And two.....I knoooooow you had to be high as shit b/c you were all over the place and not making sense at all.
43. "Sometimes I meet the 40 yr old me & say 'What do I do?' & the 40 yr old me says 'Dont do every interview. Go to the zoo instead'" -John Mayer
47. It seems as though people really like "For Lovers Trying Repeatedly"
48. Welp....that's the last one yall asses will get for free (I think!)
49. Coming Soon : "When I Die...They'll Read This And Say A Genius Wrote It"

For Lovers Repeatedly Trying
and you sure as hell didnt expect it to be this hard
My God!
You love them.
They love you back
and thats that.
Pretty simple stuff one would think, but no.
If you factor in
the baggage
the hang ups
the near misses
the war wounds that have yet to heal
the bad timing
the inexperience
the catastrophic karma
(yours or theirs)
and just having downright shitty luck
One of lesser faith would be tempted to throw in the towel
become asexual
and "focus on my career"
Meanwhile those of us
that know it's a marathon
and not a sprint
will pick ourselves up
dust ourselves off
give it one good deep sigh
and try just once more
Its what we do.

Introducing Dave It Fwd

This is very similar to how when Puff came out with the "Cant Nobody Hold Me Down" video and that shit was off the chain, then it was time to do Biggie's "Hypnotize" video and he was like "Yo just make sure my shit is as hot as Puff's!".
So yeah that about sums it up. Imma have to redesign my shit.

President Obama Walks Into The Lion's Den
That's right! He went into a room full of republicans by himself and let them take their best shots at him. Answered all their questions on health care, jobs, and terrorism among other thing
s and put 'em all in check.You think George Bush woulda had the balls to do that?
Lock himself in a room full of Democrats (with live TV cameras nonetheless!!! Oh yes President Obama INSISTED that they do this live on TV!!!!), and let them fire away and quiz him? Not even if Jesus had instructed him to would he have had done it.
For almost 90 minutes, President Obama, visibly (and understandably) a lil testy went back and forth with the Republicans adding at one point, "We've got to be careful about what we say about each other sometimes, because it boxes us in in ways that makes it difficult for us to work together because our constituents start believing us," Obama said. "So just a tone of civility instead of slash-and-burn would be helpful."
I'm telling yall. This man is doing politics in a whole new way these people aint never even thought of it. When you come and change the game like this you will meet resistance. They just are not ready.
Our President is fly yall.

Who The F#ck Does Wyclef Think He Is?!?!
So in lieu of donating to Red Cross, I, like many others felt as if our precious dollars would do better with a more grassroots organization. Personally I felt like the big boys Red Cross and FEMA fumbled the ball with Katrina so I wasnt all that enthused about donating to them this time. Wyclef hits up his twitter fam and encourages folks to donate to his Yele organization and whattya know? Within hours he's raised HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars. Well the sheer gall of this damn rapper to mobilze people and garner this kinda financial support on his own without some big corporation to help! Who the fuck does he think he is?!?!?!?
So now here comes The Smoking Gun with their "report" on some questionable goings ons with 'clef's Yele's Organization. Okay that's cool. I aint believing that hype but can they investigate FEMA and Red Cross with the contributions made in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and then get back to us?
Here's Wyclef's response :

Unconditional Love Vs. Outright Stupidity (A Scenario)
A girl is in love with her male best friend. The guy sorta knows it but...ehhhhhh....he's not really there. He loves her but not quite in the same way. She holds out hope because no one makes her feel like him. She has plenty other suitors but she's only checking for him. In their alone moments, even though they arent intimate, she senses something there. Almost everyone around them knows she's crazy about him and she's not shy in admitting to anyone who asks. She watches him go in and out of relationships hoping he'll snap out of it one day and realize she is who he needs. She's made up her mind that she believes in this love that much that she'll stick around until it's made painfully clear that she's wasting her time....and she's hella-stubborn lol. It's essentially Brandy's "Have You Ever?" played out in real life. We've all seen this story like 50-leven times, right? Unconditional Love or Outright Stupidity?
