Conjunction Junction---SHR Thursday! (Repost)

I love YouTube!!! I am going to take a page from some of my newfound blog family members today! I'm going to give you some major nostalgia today!!

I wish that the children of the new millenium could have experienced some of the educational shows that I saw on Saturday mornings. Well, since they didn't have them now..we can bring it to them via YouTube!

This video is for everyone...

How bout dem CAVS?





Just in case some Pistons fans missed the game last night.

Like my good friend, Sheletha that I felt compelled to update on the score at half-time since she was travelling. LOL!!!

Here is the recap.

LOL!

What's in a name...part 2---repost!

Ok...after a couple of private emails on "what's in a name"..I am compelled to do a short follow up based on my hidden comments. Man...I wish I could repost those emails...but I won't to protect the privacy of my peeps.

Anywhoooo...here's something else to chew on and I'm sure that "reader x's" will find this just as interesting. This is my damn blog..I write what I want to!!!! LOL!!!

Stepping up on my soapbox now,...and exhaling!!

Nicknames.....and calling your kids by their middle names..WTF!!! If the name is Jamariolificus, why the hell are you calling him"lil pimp" at the ripe old age of 2? He's probably going to catch hell from his first name anyway! If her name is Carolyn, why are you calling her "applebottom shorty"...WHY WHY WHY! Do we think it's cute to associate children with clothing lines and what we believe they look precious in?

And the thing with calling children by their whole name only when they are in trouble is whack! Let's just teach them that hearing their name should be associated with negativity by the age of 3 or 4.

I think everyone has a junebug, dunebug(I had one of those), sleepy, rockhead, Ray Ray, Stinky-butt, shorty, big man, little man, or something that will come to mind they can relate to. Please don't get me wrong, I use nicknames all the time...my blog was about "CHILDREN"...not grown a$$ people!!!

If the shoe fits...wear it! If it doesn't....get a laugh and keep on reading!

Cavs vs. Pistons---Game 4



"Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James dunks the ball in the first period beating the defense of the Detroit Pistons during game four of the Eastern Conference finals May 29, 2007 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio."

Can you say...Tied series?

LOL!!!!

GO CAVS!!!!

The Great Debate...repost

I can't wait to get this off my chest...I was having a friendly, yet debate driven conversation with a good friend of mine and I just had to write about it. For the purpose of not making it too lengthy, I will just highlight my point and her point and we will see if men and women really think so differently.

Focus of the debate:Strippers and Prostitutes..Lord knows how we got on that! Probably relating to the blog I recently wrote about a Maury show I watched.

Anywhoooo..here's the short of it. She feels that the women that are prostitutes have no self love, self-esteem and don't know what they doing...based on their maturity level or what they have been exposed to. If i understood her correctly, she feels that some women are trapped because they just don't know any better. She alluded to the fact that counseling perhaps should be the approach rather than blasting them. Therapy!

ok...we really were on it weren't we? Therapy????

My point: Unless they are mentally incapable of making decisions on their own, they know exactly what they are doing and accepting their lifestyle....also just because a person perhaps was shown little love, they recognize it is so many other facets of life having nothing to do with sex, pimps, or money. We are not always products of our environments. I know some hoes and some strippers that turn tricks and some that don't! I have actually asked some of them what brought them to where they were in life. It wasn't always the runaway, sexually abusive teen that flees for her life and some pimps showed her some love crap that is glorified on tv....but real talk IE:"I f**k my man and he pays me by buying me things or giving me what I want, why wouldn't I get money from anybody I lay up with" or "my grandmother always told me, no woman has to ever be broke".....I was educated on the perception. Old school women teach other younger women that "if you got it...flaunt it"

Another friend of her's said that there is no difference between a stripper and a prostitute...based on her character, I'm sure that she vehemently argued him down on the difference. Not all strippers turn tricks to keep it simple...I said "yeah but you do have lots of them that do" Stripper's atleast hustle to get their own money!

I never claim to be an expert in psychology, but my life's experiences has taught me that eveyone has Choices. God's gift to every person is "free will"!!! We can allow ourselves to be subjugated by others, but we are still in control of giving it away. Fact remains, it is our choice ultimately!

Potluck Friday..Part IX

Dis shole duz look good!



This forum is officially a smash hit. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.

What I would like to do is get some feed back from some non blogging readers or some bloggers that don't have the time to blog right now. An open forum, if you will. For example, the drama on "the View", AMerican Idol results or how current employers use sites like myspace as a screening tool to weed out potential employees.

There is no topic off limits! I know that relationship posts are common but be more specific. What element of the relationships? Finding one, keeping one, how to get out of one..all are up for discussion and friendly debate.

I am an information junkie! Garbage in--garbage out! But, I still like to process information. So, I'd like to try to start a day where the readers are in control of every single question, we take the comment that is posted right before you, answer their comment question, then post your own question for the next person. We can discuss it in a civil manner. If it goes well, then it could be really fun. I must excercise more moderation on the personal topics comments. I got a few emails from last week and I must agree that some of the comments were hurtful and should be handled off line...privately. Let's have fun and keep it clean...please. and thank you.

Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!

So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 9?

Damn...can I have my sh*t back...Please! repost

I happened back down memory lane today(your fault CG) and wasn't a happy camper...in fact I was like..damn that was foul!! I think most people will relate to this one.

Ahhh love is in the air..sharing,caring and romance. Special times when there is no such speakings of "my things and your things...We share everything!"


Those are the good times..gentle times..open and sincere times ...Burning and passionate love....


BUT......when the flames have died down and the two no longer act as one..the separation makes every purchase ever made flood back in with amazing accurate recall...IE:"Uh uhhhnn, u cant keep that..I bought that at Macy's right after the sale started cause I was with Nikki and she bought extra lingerie for when ray ray came home from being locked up on his DUI last August...don't tell me..I know when I bought that". I been there too, but then I'm always like that anyway. Smile......Remarkable memory recall on select things, but that's another blog.



Here's when it really gets interesting....borrowing music...(that's a simple one). I hate loaning out my Cd's especially to a girlfriend. When the romance is over, I never get my shit back...it's like the transaction of "BORROW"never registered. Breaking up means forfeiture of rights...I guess.





this is of course how it stared!!!!! NOW IT LOOKS MORE LIKE...................


How f****d up is that??.....under the guise of being my girl...I got suckered! Oh and don't ask for it back...."boy, you gave me that...it's mine now." My mental recall tells me a whole different version of the story like ummmm...you stole my shit...straight up!!! Kinda like letting it fall into your pocket and sneakin out the door!!!

I certainly could have respected the jack move more if it was more obvious like....


Call it what it really is...theft..either intentionally or not..I think you should do the right thing...give him or her their shit back and don't scratch it up either. Everybody hates a scratched c.d.

THIS IS AN APPEAL TO ALL RELATIONSHIP PROPERTY THIEVES(friends and family too.....cause ya'll do it and blame it on the ex)CAN WE PLEASE HAVE OUR SHIT BACK.

Hot dogs hamburgers and spaghetti-o's-Repost of my 1st blog!

Just a little while ago, I had a good friend of mine(female)ask me to help her think of something to cook for her kids because they are tired of "pork chops, tacos and fried chicken. Shortly thereafter I was speaking to another friend of mine(the one who inspired me to put my thoughts in blog form..thanks C.G.)and decided that it was time to let it flow out of me.

As this is my first actual opportunity to share my thoughts with the world wide web, all comments are appreciated. Getting back to the email sent, my immediate thoughts were that "times ain't the same as when I was a kid." Do i actually ever remember voicing any opinion about what the dinner served was going to be...the answer was yes. Instantly, in the middle of some of the coldest weather of the season in Cleveland, a brisk 17 degrees..I got the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia and I was reminded of an opportunity to question "ma dukes" about why i had to eat a bohemian dish called phonetically sounding "fa--LEECH--key." The reply was something that most black children may have heard born in the 60's or early 70's...."cause i said so". Abruptly followed up again with some verbal or non verbal threat...for the sake of not putting myself on front street, will be kept to myself.

I had to eat some stuff that I had absolutely no idea of what the blend of ham, egg noodles, butter and who the hell else knows would taste like........or suffer the consequences of resorting to a hand shaped, amoeba looking hamburger patty "formed with nothing but love" from squishing and throwing meat back and forth between hands.......or having to wait for a pot of hot water..dash of morton's salt to come to a boil, so i could throw on a few hot dogs with potato chips to satisfy my hunger. Oscar Meyer ain't got nothing on plumping when u boil them. Another fave choice, reach up in the cupboard while standing on a chair to grab the can of spaghetti-o's...wow a kid hasn't lived until he endured that joy. Get the can opener..ya know the one we had to squeeze hard as hell and turn the top to open up the can..yeah that's the one. Flashbacks sure do things make reality in the now seem happy. Though I personally didn't experience this, I'm told that sugar sandwiches were quite tasty...LOL

If I was going to be kind in my reply(not sarcastic) or realistic was still my query. What to do? allow for her struggle with more options instead of just asking her kids what they want---or give her what she really was asking me for?

After about a 45 sec deliberation, i encouraged her to feed them Angus, Crab Legs and Quiche...oh and also..."LET THEM EAT CAKE"...Smile

My Fave Blog of the week.....ending Friday 5/18

Hey, family. I had an opportunity to read alot of blogs over the past week and one of them just sticks out like a sore thumb.

The writer of the blog has no idea of how much she impacted her readers with her use and mastery of the craft in that piece so I have to let it be known how much it did for me as a reader.

Without further delay, let me present to some and introduce to others the link that will teleport you into the mind of Nikki for her blog dated Wednesday, May 16, 2007.

**Warning**--This blog will include adult content and language. If that is offensives to you, then this isn't for you.

Enjoy the rideNikki's Indigo Trail of her thoughts

There are plenty of blogs that have been powerful and thought provoking. This one just really spoke to me.

Happy blogging, reading, and writing on your own projects family.

Happy Birthday to Dr. GIrlfriend!!!

I just want to take this time out today to say Happy Birthday to great, awesome friend of mine. The future Surgeon General!!!!

Dr. Girlfriend..celebrating ng her 14th-21st birthday on Friday May 18, 2007..smile!!


Happy Birthday, lady!





On a personal note, I'm happier to be able to say this, because Dr. G had a very close call last week while she was at home in New Orleans...and she almost didn't make it to her birthday.

Thank God that He allowed her to make it and I know that she won't be too happy to see that I put that out there, but it needs to be shared.

I thank Him for sparing you last week and I look forward to saying Happy Birthday to you and plenty of other people for decades to come.

Love in the city of Cleveland for Morris Chestnut


Friday was a great day for my mother and some her girls. They saw the play" Love in the nick of Tyme"...(second row center)---had some all access passes and even took some pics with the superstar cast members. Andre Pitre is representin with my peeps.



My beautiful mother is a little too cheesy all hugged up with Morris. What's all that about? oh wait....Blu is another bomb a$$ singer...all up in the back with the "hey, kool-aid" smile thing going on.

If that play is anywhere in the vicinity of your fair city....I urge to check it out. Those folks be sangin---fo sho!!

Hometown brotha, AVANT showed out for the city...

Check it out...

Just in case you missed it...


Though I'm sure that some of you didn't miss it.

Lo is in Cleveland with her fellas.....ME and Cortney Gee!

The city will never be the same again.

When is good info...bad?---Repost

It's funny how these ever evolving perspectives seem to be more prevalent in my everyday living situations. I always knew they were there, but I just couldn't put my finger on it..until now.

I am more in tune with my friends these days because of the kinds of conversations that we have. It used to be sports, kids or school related, now it's women, men, relationships or my blog topics. I really appreciate that!

I need to state this though to my friends that ask me questions about relationships, or that read some of the spins that I put on my topics and take them literally.....read it for entertainment or thought provoking purposes only! My intent is not to be a hater to the male gender..I am a man!! I simply like to put my thoughts in written format so that I can read what I'm thinking to help me along with the book that I'm working on. Blogging is quite liberating for me!

Being a man that has done a whole lot of dirt to women in my past, I feel that exposing a little of myself will help other women not fall prey or victim to men that still think like the immature person that I was.

I thank God for His mercy on me in sparing me from some very close calls! If you take certain scenarios IE: saving some of my friends from cheating on you...and question me about whether it was your man or not...I'm going to plead the 5Th. I just want to help you ladies understand how a man thinks sometimes. There are innumerable variations to every step we take...maybe we need to hurry up and get across the street or maybe we need to double take on looking right and left before we step onto the street on occasion. Even the right path or person requires a little more effort and a lot less absolutes to make it worthwhile.

Information is like anything else: Knowledge is power but "applied knowledge"...well that's the key! If it helps...great, but if it's not for you..then get a good laugh and have a nice day!

If I were president...

Wyclef Jean's song clicked in my head last night. I was in bed and lay there with my eyes closed---basically tripping....but I had a thought that I couldn't shake at all. This blog relfects those thoughts.
If you had one chance to be the President of the U.S.A for a 1 month, what would you make a law. It could be either personal or a cause that you believe in. ANNNNDDD during that month, everything you did was irreversible or would skip through Congress and the Senate without rebuttal.

What would you do with that kind of power for a month? Would you address healthcare, war issues, gas prices, racial injustices or police corruption---the floor is yours.

Who is up for this challenge?

Cartoons..what did they teach us?

This post kind of jumped out at me over the past few days. I've been reading some of the extremely thought provoking and pro African Americn posts and my objectivity went right out the damn window.

As you can see from recent weeks, I have been stuck in kind of a timewarp relating to cartoons and P.S.A.'s. School house has and will be some of my favorites forever. Yet, I can recall vividly some of my other cartoon classics and now they anger me more than I can laugh at them.

Let's take a walk down memory lane..shall we.



My man Daffy Duck. Other than the fact that he was funny, what were some of the other characteristics of this persona. Well let's see.

1. He was a hater!
2. He was plainly depicted as crazed and out of control
3. Portrayed as a sidekick in most episodes to Bugs Bunny
4. He was loud, obnoxious, and spoke with a speech impediment
I'll just stop there for a moment to pontificate on those ideas. oops...he was a black duck.

On to the next character. Do I really need to go into this one at all?....please! I'm disappointed in myself for not noticing this earlier.

click here==>: Thomassss!!!

Next up.....

Pepe LePew...a serial date rapist, stalker. In every episode, pepe chased chicks down, relentless in his approach, never took no for an answer and totally disrespected on every level. Funny..right? Of course it is..and what did they use to make it into a subtext joke? A black skunk. add into the equation the obvious odor that they referenced when in reality the only time you smelled a skunk is if they sprayed. hmmmm..another jacked up attack on my ethnicity.

moving right along.....

I loved this cartoon for real. Jokingly a fellow blogger recently referenced old cartoons and I was reminded of the fact that all of the names of the ethnic heroes displayed their heritage. ie:
1. Black Lightning
2. Black Panther
3. Apache Chief
4. Samurai Tornado
Just ridiculous...I thought about the new green lantern figure. Now a black dude. If the name would change to the "Black Green Lantern". WTF???

And last but not least...the lovable bugs...
Man, I don't know where to start. Let's just give it a little jumpstart.
1. Obvious gay, drag queen.
2. Always depicted as the good guy/defenseless victim
3. Always given the position of intelligence and leadership over other characters when there was more than one animal persona.

I'm just going to stop right there on him. Even in the picture above, it highlights the fact that Elmer Fudd is a closet gay man. Bugs kissed him on the lips without being checked or stopped numerous times when he wasn't in drag.

Oh and not to forget this point, the cartoons also showed that there would be no consequence for shooting someone in the face...other than a little black face and ruffled hair/hats for a quick second or a mouth get dislodged and reattached. What did that teach us, family?

I will make sure that I censor what my kids and young people around me watch. Times have changed and the influences kids have on them now makes those cartoons more dangerous than ever before.

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong

Chappelle show Tuesday!



Do I need to add anything? NOPE!

I keeps it real, son!

This could be your neighbor...pay close attention

Chappelle Show Tuesday!

Even though I am a huge fan of Dave Chappelle, does this video teach us anything about how we view our society for real or is it just an attempt to get laughs.

I do have to think before and after I have my spells of uncontrollable laughter.

**ATTENTION: This video content is not for children!!**



Be on close alert.

Anytime you need me...Just whistle!

I have come to value friendships more and more recently. I will be the spike for my poor, defenseless friends. If they need me, they can just whistle. That is...if I'm not already there. No one can get them and say..."muahhahahahaha....IN ME POWER".



This episode of Tom and Jerry is entitled "The Bodyguard"...I am---after all is said and done, a true "GUARD DOG".

This forum is a smash hit based on the great response from last week. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY..

What I would like to do is get some feed back from some non blogging readers or some bloggers that don't have the time to blog right. An open forum or a wish list if you will. For example, the "Stop Snitching" theory being taught to our kids or how current employers use sites like myspace as a screening tool to weed out potential employees.

There is no topic off limits! I know that relationship posts are common but be more specific. What element of the relationships? Finding one, keeping one, how to get out of one..all are up for discussion and friendly debate.

I am an information junkie! Garbage in--garbage out! But, I still like to process information. So, I'd like to try to start a day where the readers are in control of every single question, we take the comment that is posted right before you, answer their comment question, then post your own question for the next person. We can discuss it in a civil manner. If it goes well, then it could be really fun.

Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!

So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 6?

I love Lucy!!!




Yes! I have to admit it. I love Lucy. She is the extremely fierce guard dog that will tear a hole out of your a$$ while she is wagging her tail to sucker you owned by---Cortney Gee. Cortney's dogs live in the terrordome. Just ask him, he will tell you...dogs don't get much love at his house unless they are pregnant or their name is Gotti.

I was seriously afraid of this dog several months ago. I'm going to put myself on blast. One time Cortney made the mistake of leaving the door leading into the house open and Lucy came upstairs(before she knew me). I quickly found a blanket and covered my head so that she wouldn't see me. Please reference any of Cortney's blogs about Lucy. She is a lunatic dog according to him and will bite any and everybody. Now after feeding her whilst Gizzle was on the road over the past several months, she is my dog...living at his house. The blue coat cane corso beauty that never leaves my side when I'm at Gizzles crib. I didn't realize that dogs can be so therapeutic. I sit outside and talk to Lucy like she is a real person and she loves me back.

His other dogs are pretty cool and they are fond of me as well. Cortney's dogs love to see me coming cause I will sneak over into his backyard and give all of them doggy treats and he wouldn't even know I was there sometimes....of course my favorite dog always ends up let free out of her cage(I wonder if CG ever wonders how she got out...LOL)and gets more treats than any of the other dogs.

BUT...This post is a testimony of my love for a specific dog...I LOVE LUCY!!

When is it going to stop?

Ok ya'll---enough is enough! I am getting more and more disgusted with the new revolution of censorship in our culture.

From appearances, Don Imus' impact has far exceeded just referencing "nappy headed hoes" and has spilled over into every venacular comment in the urban dictionary. Now we have to be subjected to the scrutiny of every organization before a song, video or a performance is televised.

A recent conversation even reminded me that Richard Pryor...at the end of his career, denounced the usage of "ni99a". I love Richard Pryor as truly the inspiration for many of today's tremendous comics. But it did come after he made "MAJOR LOOT" saying it for decades. I ain't mad at him at all.

Rap artists like Chamillionaire are going to self censor themselves and won't say it in any of his upcoming work.

Here's my take on it. I believe in the power of words. I also believe that when we empower words, it has an even stronger impact on society. Take the power out of it and the impact is lessened.

Ladies use the word "bitch" as a term of endearment. Dynasty was one of my fave shows in the 80's...they used bitch in every episode. Why didn't anyone say anything about that? That was white women and no one said a damn thing. Why is it that a person of some other ethnicity has to say something to incite change in our culture?

Elvis gyrated in every movie and song performance that he ever gave. Now that rap videos follow the same formula for success that he had, it's now exploitation of women---more specifically black women. Even though white women and hispanics are included in almost every rap video.

Just don't allow for the media to lead you into thinking how they want you to. Think for yourselves and just take a look at history and how new artists piggyback off of the system already in place that has worked to create huge successes. None of the things we see is original..remember that.


Anyone care to comment? Who's up for the challenge of a friendly debate?

Cheating..Part III

Ok, so now we dealt with cheating in the body, emotionally and mentally. I think we can actually take it a bit further than that---if you would allow me to do so.

How do we view cheating time at work? Does working on various tasks, hardly work related, count as cheating? Is yahoo or AIM messenger up on your screen? It is on mine?

The Holy Bible does reference honoring God in all that we do. If we don't give 100% on our jobs---what are we doing?

I heard recently from a friend of mine that the company he works for makes so much money off of him every hour and pays him a fraction of that money---so he justifies doing what he wants. He works on computers, gets a decent wage, but the company bills out hella large ends for the service call. I suppose that's how businesses stay in profit. I can understand that.

Here's something to chew on. If you were like me and was raised with the mindset of "looking out for number 1" or the "i gotta get mine...you get yours". Why would we look at borrowing company time, paper, stamp machine, or even paper clips any differently? Especially when we know that noone ever gets paid their true value at any company. We all deserve to get paid more than we currently do.

I must admit...I cheat when it comes to that. LOL

This may not be the most popular cheating topic, but it deserves to be addressed.

I AM A CHEATER!!! and I'm proud of it.

What do you do at work to be a cheater? Or if you don't cheat, feel free to laugh at those of us that do.

Who's up for the challenge?

The second coming video



I love this video. I think Nike just got several hundred dollars of mine monthly over the next 3-5 months just because of it.

That's kinda goofy, but it is the truth. I'm a visual kinda guy!

Enjoy the video.
