WHAT I HAVE LEARNED...
With the exception of mines, your friend's girlfriends to your best friend, will always be bitches.
It's not the matter of that's just how they are for attention or whatever. I get the idea, that to them, I am poison. lol.
Like, I got the idea from every one of my homies, with exceptions, that their girlfriend does not like me...at all.
Why?
Like I never see a VALID reason for them to not like me. It's always on some bullshit basically. Like my hair is nappy, or I'm too skinny...yea and?
I ono...and even when I try to bury the hatchet with one of them, for example today, they get the attitude, and pull a "i still don't like you" type of shit.
Basically, it's like this. I DON'T GIVE A MUTHAFUCK IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME....
I'll say what I want, act how I want, dress how I want, and what I do with my homies is our business. If he wants to discuss it wit u, then more power to you, but don't blame me or use me as a scapegoat for your boyfriend or play-boyfriend's fuck-ups. It's corny, it's a waste of time, and I have NO time for having hatred for others, when I myself am trying to be a realer, more down-to-earth individual. Or maybe, the reason why I'm how I am wit u, is because maybe, YOU are the reason for your boyfriend or play-boyfriend's fuck-ups. Bottom line is...let it go...as I will and have done the same...and don't get upset when he drops you flat on ya ass for someone of better quality.
Thought I get that out.

SO HERE I AM....
For the third weekend in a row, faced with a huge assignment, procrastinating knowing that I will get it done anyways, all to talk to YAAAUUU!!!(it is intentionally spelled wrong).
And I sit here at UWM, with Trivium currently taking up my attention span with help from my trusty iPod. Man, this is a weekend, where I honestly believe I have not really been myself.
I believe that I and the people often forget what we are truly thankful for around these times.
I suppose for one, I am thankful for of course, still being alive, especially with the growing percentage of violence in this city where I reside. I am also thankful for a dysfunctional family. lol. I am thankful for a kooky yet beautiful girlfriend. I am thankful for my wide range of friends, from the inspiring to the irritating and everything in between. I am thankful that hip hop is not dead, no matter what Nas says. I am thankful for having emotion. I am thankful that I have more money now than what I had last year. I am thankful that I have a gift to where I am able to connect with and inspire people. I am thankful that I am able to have SOME time to have peace to myself. I am thankful that I know right from wrong.
And most importantly, I am thankful that I have at least one if not everyone's attention when I spill my thoughts onto here...for that, thank you.

THE WEEKEND FROM HELL....
Aight, well....ya wonderin' where I been. I been....there. Basically because the holiday known as Thanksgiving has officially screwed up my thought process and equillibrium.
All the food's gone...my niece is done whining for tonight....and now...a 4-page untyped paper, 11 hours of gruesome labor, and more money spent is what awaits this upcoming weekend....pray for me America.
I have nothing to say today, so hopefully, a shooting goes down or I get angry tomorrow. Just kidding, I don't really wish that.
Perhaps, some Applebees will be my remedy.

THE EAST COAST AVENGERS- "KILL BILL O' REILLY"
This is the official video from the newly formed East Coast Avengers composed of Boston's finest Esoteric, Trademarc (the cousin of John Cena) and producer DC (Reks, Termanology) and for their new song "Kill Bill O' Reilly". I found this on Allhiphop.com and since I was a bit shamed that illseed didnt know who they were (not surprised) I figured I post it here. Not really for killing him, but if you wanna send a message, especially towards corrupt media corporations such as Fox News, I offer my support. I wonder how he's gonna respond on the Factor?
"Hiiiii Mr. O' Reilly" -Ludacris

....and so far it's worked to their advantage.

ERASE THE PAST
Which is what I have been trying to do for months and months, almost a damn year, with one particular person.
Now when I had my blog "My Philosophy", it was normally intruded by my "lovely" ex-girlfriend. "Red-Head" I will call her to avoid any bullshit.
But back to "Red-Head".
Now, this is a girl, who cheated on me, with a FEMALE...slipped into a drug habit (ecstasy)...who is diagnosed bi-polar...and TOO dependable on bad influences...and yet, she comes to ME for comfort? Normally in the case of annoying phonecalls...and incoherent voice messages...surprised she ain't text me yet.
The be-all and-all was when she sent me an e-mail last week implying the following...
I am emailing you because of the obvious, your refusal to acknowledge my phone calls, and because I don't want to be intrusive. My intent is to clear the air and make a clean get away, so to speak. Sub-consciously I Sabotaged our relationship because I didn't think you were treating me the way I deserved to be treated. I want someone to share my life with, that means they don't cancel on Birthdays and sacrifice seeing their friends to be with me. Also I couldn't help but think your feelings were still mixed up with Adrianne, I was right. That really wasn't fair to me. I thought about leaving you but I never could do that, especially since I just wanted you to step up.I admit it wasn't rational but I didn't realize what I was doing, and I never felt that way before. I never had feelings for a woman, however brief, and I never had a real relationship. It wasn't really an adult relationship, but it was genuine.
Well.....if things weren't crazy enough....
There was a minute there when I thought a woman might be able to love me the way no man could. I was wrong, I don't think I could love a woman, and now I don't even love you.But I do care so much about you and I would like for us to be friends someday, finally.I know you don't want that so I am done making apologies, I regret what I did because it cost me your love and respect, but I can't keep apologizing. So from now on we don't know each other, that is until you can take the high road along with me and make peace. I cheated on you and I broke your heart, just don't forget you did the same. So that's it! I have erased what little history we have in order to make a clean start.
Now..."My Philosophy" is this. Shouldn't you practice what you preach???
In other words, as much as you say you are going to give me my space and let me be who I am, and allow me to do my own thing, without worrying about what kind of personal, emotionally crippling conflict you let yourself slip in....why do you still bother me in more ways than one?
If you're so intent on moving on...in knowing you don't love me anymore...why are you still SO dependent on me?
Mostly, my opinion, is that it is EXACTLY what it is. She has NO ONE.
But at the same time, she's two years older than me, she has a better job than I do, she is one of the most creative free spirits I have ever run across, but over the last year, or better yet...when Adrianne came into the picture...she became a bonafide, living and breathing train-wreck.
And I don't have time for it anymore.
I don't regret letting her go for someone that although lives far away from me, that can be a peeve sometime, that is in the words of Good Ol' J.R. "kookier than a petcoon"...has been THE biggest influence in my life over the last two to three years of my life.
And, Red-Head can be a nuisance all she wants...try to sneak her way back into my life anyway that she knows how....ill just make it my duty to slam the door in her face.
Amanda, Ima have you on speed-dial if she goes crazy.....

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE......
This was from my good "friends" at Allhiphop.com, taken from Thisis50.com. Apparently, this happened over the weekend, Young Jeezy was performing at some club in Dallas, TX. He goes into "My President" off of his new album "The Recession" (out in stores now, cop it!) but anyways, getting back into the topic. Apparently, two minutes into the song, n***** go wild and a huge brawl starts on the middle of the dance floor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVzNPIfyNME
Now, much like illseed, I am just stunned at this ignorant shit. To why this kind of shit happens during a song "saluting" our new President is beyond me.
One poster on Allhiphop.com stated:
"I will say this again..African Americans are using Obama's name for all the wrong things..And thats why Barack Obama didnt want any rappers promoting his name..
Overall in my opinion Rappers are the worst people to use for promotion..Soon Advertisers are going to see that Rappers are not good for promoting any product.."
Well, I wouldn't go that far...but with this issue, why not? Don't believe me, listen to Ludacris' "Politics As Usual" off The Preview mixtape.
But yes, ironically me and my cousin Randal discussed this today on the long, cold bus ride home. How, many of us black people are expressing our "support" for President Obama, and using it for OUR personal gain.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68-AwSiPThc
even with the mixtape circuit...over the last several months, there have been a SWARM of mixtapes surrounding the "Obama" theme.
Some for the good....
Some for the WORST....
But seriously.....STOP ALREADY!!!
It's one thing that we promote "change", but when I see shit such as the video displayed, it makes me realize...."NIGGAS" STILL EXIST...
Wanna know how I know....follow the link...
This past Saturday night, there was a shooting that occured at a local tavern a couple blocks from my where I live. What's screwed up is that I was either outside when it happened, walking home from work, or I showed up on the block after it occured...and NEVER EVEN KNEW...up until I was told about this Sunday night by my mother...that is some scary shit to think about. In not trying to make it about me, but knowing that it COULD'VE BEEN ME as well..and I have already come across death on two occasions this year. But I feel for the family and friends of the victim and my condolences are sent to them and I pray they seek clarity in such a tragedy.

But all I know is....it's a cold world out there...and while we hope and pray for the best....

DAMN YOU KANYE!!!
Well here I am, at home on a Friday for the first time in months. And I don't mean off from work or school, or whatever, I mean at home, not going anywhere, staying here (attempting) to take care of certain things, that will probably have to be on the backburner for tomorrow, since I do not have the proper materials to acquire what I need to get.
And as I type my second blog of the day, while my 4 year old niece Amaya, is screaming profusely in my ear, making up stories in her mind...I sit here at a complex.
The complex that for one, I hate my teeth with a passion due to the growing cavities, not good. But also, I sit here dealing with my burning frustrations in my life.
Before I get to those, let me just say something about Kanye West. These last couple months or in fact the last year, despite the fact that he suffered two terrible losses in his life, one being the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West, and the split between him and his girlfriend Alexis. But lately, I just feel a bit peeved at his recent actions. With his arrogance getting the best of his decision-making, being that he can NEVER take a defeat in stride, or his recent run-ins with paparazzi and feeling the need to make bitch moves and attack them. Man, I wish I could fight somebody, so my stance can be justified at least.
The bottom line is this. 808's and Heartbreaks (Kanye's new album) is ten days away, ready to compete with Ludacris' and The Killers' new discs, and what makes this album so different from his other albums are that all of the songs are of him crooning, while his melodies are saturated with Auto-Tune effects. As if we didn't need another T-Pain roaming the universe or we didn't need another dickrider jockin' off others' style (Lil' Wayne). While "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless" have GROWN on me, I have been a bit curious about "Coldest Winter" and "Robocop" while both have received mixed reviews so far. Either way, I have a feeling that "808's and Heartbreaks" is going to be THAT album...that album where Kanye officially falls off. Not to say it will fall off based on content or creativity, but this might be the moment where Ye has officially lost his mind...to where he has let his emotions and his depression overcome him to the point where he does the unthinkable.
Now back to me, I just feel the need to wanna write something (in musical form) that in turn helps me with the problems that I am going through, much like how this new album filters through all the personal struggles Ye has experienced over the last year. Problem has been that nothing has come out. I don't ever wanna say WRITER'S BLOCK....writer's block is my enemy. I DON'T wanna say that I am burned out...because otherwise, I wouldn't be working on these new projects 24/7. I don't know, something just feels missing. Maybe, I haven't been myself (music-wise). Maybe I am getting lost in this shuffle of Milwaukee rappers, with absolutely no idea what direction I want to take. I been trying my hardest to figure out what kind of sound I want my music to go towards, that in the process, I let others pass me by. I can't let that happen much longer.
However, I have gotten to the point, where I have seen so many people brown-nose their way to the top, to where I been declined by others for help, I don't really belong within a particular circle of artists, I work with anyone that has that same drive as I do with music. Which is why I work with my close personal friends. While some see it as a business, I see it as MUCH MORE than that. Other than this, this music is the only way I can express myself freely. Where I feel that whatever I say in a song makes sense more than a regular conversation. Where much like this blog, I am able to put all of my thoughts into a 16-bar verse, than I could in sixteen minutes of muffled jibber-jabber. It's already bad enough that I stutter, lol.
Anyways, this blog has gotten towards Rant Mode, so all I have to say is, anyone that reads this, understand my plight, and if you understand and sympathize for me, then thank you, and it would really mean a lot if I heard your opinions on what I just stated.
....God, I hate cavities...aight its off to write that song and finish that damn reading...

Where much like this blog, I am able to put all of my thoughts into a 16-bar verse, than I could in sixteen minutes of muffled jibber-jabber. It's already bad enough that I stutter, lol.
Anyways, this blog has gotten towards Rant Mode, so all I have to say is, anyone that reads this, understand my plight, and if you understand and sympathize for me, then thank you, and it would really mean a lot if I heard your opinions on what I just stated.
....God, I hate cavities...aight its off to write that song and finish that damn reading...
WORN OUT AND WEARING THIN...
Right now, at this moment, at 2 in the morning, I enjoy a re-run of Living Single, while blasting the newest Slaughterhouse tracks into my ears, trying to acquire inspiration to write...yet honestly nothing is coming out.
More because I am gearing up for the busiest five days of this year. Not only do I have a presentation to prepare for Monday afternoon, but I also have an exam on Monday, a three-page rough draft to ready for Wednesday, not to mention D2L responses due both Monday AND Wednesday, and with the idea that my hours at work are gonna be crazy this weekend.
I really do not know how I let myself end up in situations that I know I probably can't handle without SERIOUS focus and concentration. The idea that so many distractions surround my everyday life (and I am only referring to the negative ones) that everything becomes a mixed bag of mishandled priorities.
I know what you are thinking...woe is me...what else is new???...that's liffffeeee....well I come to realize life's a bitch and I hate it. lol. There's so many things that I wanna do in the next couple of months, that due to life firmly choking me and my motivation, I never have the time to do it.
Is it the adult in me talking...am I taking a page from Adrianne's handbook and starting to complain?
I mean, there's nothing more that I would like other than to write 24/7 with no interruptions, be able to see Adrianne on an everyday basis, be able to kick it wit friends everyday, be able to do GOOD in school, be able to draw, have conversations with my mother....but in all reality, my life is the opposite of everything that I want.
It's not to say having responsibilities is bad for me, who in the world has that mindframe....Will???....but the point is...there are often times I miss being a kid. Not having to worry about those kind of things, be able to live care-free. But the time comes, when the clock begins to wind down quicker and quicker.
I guess that's why I have taken comfort in reading Amanda's blogs as of late, to not only realize that some of why she writes everyday has to do with advice I gave her (hence, she's 2 1/2 years older than me) but that it also reminds me of the things you encounter when living in that kind of world.
Not only that, but to actually take something like my blog, look back and witness the progression I have made in my thought process. Now I only wish Adrianne could write more and not keep so many things bottled up, but that's her prerogative.
Although for me, I only have one foot in so far. With me being 23 for a week now...I guess it is becoming more vivid as to what I need to do to better myself, the hard part is to finally get my ass up and do it.
Man......how the fuck emo am I?

THE HAMILTONIZATION PROCESS
Who you see up above is Charles Hamilton. A pink-sporting, Sonic the Hedgehog-worshipping, 20-year old entity, who is signed to Interscope Records, and since then force-feeding his material to the masses.
Now at first, I heard his mixtape with DJ Green Lantern entitled "Outside Looking". To be honest, I listened to the tape thinking....so?
I had absolutely no idea what all the buzz was about. I'm thinking just another mix-up, in the Kanye/Lupe/"hipster-rap" shuffle.
Then came, his first two projects in the Hamiltonization Process, along with DJ Skee, he released "Death to the Mixtape Rapper" and "And Then They Played Dilla" (his rework of the late J Dilla's "Donuts"). And at THAT time, I thought...there's something different about him.
Then came four more other projects, "Staff Development", "It's Charles Hamilton", "The L Word", and his latest "Sonic the Hamilton" (the latter three which are taking up space in my iPod.)
And at THAT moment, I thought....ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
I know he's prolly gonna read this (since we both share a blogsite) and not give a fuck, but either way, let me just express myself to the fullest. I appreciate the dude's creativity, the abilities to separate himself from the rest of the new cats, as well as bringing a character I had once idolized back to life. The problem with this, is that, I honestly don't hear anything memorable, or mind-boggling about him. I'm trying my HARDEST to find it however. Now his last three mixtapes are in my iPod, waiting to be picked at, analyzed, and broken down into the strengths and weaknesses that I happen to do with most CDs. So, give me a couple days and perhaps, my mindset will change. For right now, in the position where he could be great or he could be dull...he is in between both areas. There's only one or two more projects in the Hamiltonization Process left...so I better get a move on it.
But one thing he has done for me, in the last two or three months of his existence within the rap game...he's got me wanting to put out crazy material.
Counts for something I suppose.
Until then...enjoy his take on what he calls, "The Sonic Philosophy" in his interview with Allhiphop.com...and his latest tape.

Written to Jake One's "The Truth"....COPYRIGHTED BITCHES!!!
The representation of misunderstood
Stuck in the cold, but its cool, cause in this hell its all good
Winter's arriving, the trees are slowly dying
The leaves drop to the concrete where the blood's drying
The life from a victim of silver chrome shots
Souless corpses grace the streets, run to ya home spot
Pivoting the future, all to travel back to past times
Rewind the clock to find the meaning behind last time
Deciphering the dire straits that's left my life jagged
Because it seems the only thing that I see straight are jackets
As I'm surrounded by white padded boundaries
I feel I found me, when my lyrics pound beats
They say the truth is so plain to experience
For me, its difficult so I dive in deliverance
I see clear now, but beware of the blind nights
To understand the hindsight, you must have ya mind right
Lost focus in the pad, and ain't been rappin' since
It's the same shit different diaper to pack it in
Static's back, hide ya shit under the cockpits
I'm not above the struggle, there I discover solace
Ignorance stop it, I'm not a problem, I'm a conflict
The time winds like kids running in mosh pits
Tryna reach me get a booster chair, when I'm in the booth
You should fear, the truth is here. One.

THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF "SLUTTINESS" CONTINUES....
IT'S LATEST VICTIM: ADRIENNE BAILON OF THE CHEETAH GIRLS/3LW...
You know, when I first saw these photos courtesy of Allhiphop.com and the cynical Perez Hilton, the first couple of things I thought to myself was....
1. Yippy!!!
2. Why is it every time the words "Disney" and "Kardashian" are involved, something bad happens?
and THREE....ultimately.....does anyone really care?
I mean look at it this way, this girl is pretty much close to my age and of course all of the major ingredients are there in this big bowl of scandal soup. You are a celebrity...B-list at that. lol. You are sending semi-nude photos of yourself to your boyfriend, who comes from a family of notorious "scandalization". Not to mention, you saved the shit on your computer, someone was sneaky enough to steal it, and then BAM...photos of your sexy ass pop up out of nowhere...coincidence....nahhh.
Honestly, for Ms. Bailon, I don't see anything but her stock rising from this. You know perhaps, two or three more of the exceedingly bland Cheetah Girl movies, maybe couple video vixen spots...(I hear Ray J is hiring) and ya know, maybe KING magazine will give you a holla, I don't know. But seriously, who's really benefiting from this? Who's gonna do a report on this? Chocolate News? Hip Hop Weekly Magazine? The millions of YouTube subscribers?
No one really, except all the latina-loving horndogs like myself out there. And besides....
......if it worked for them....it can work for you. Keep ya head up Adrienne...."playas they gon' play...and haters, they gonna hate."
....Don't tell me you don't remember that song!
Speaking of songs....and Disney....
I noticed something VERY interesting. Apparently, there is a song that leaked as of today. It's Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame) featuring Chris Breezy (for the white people, that means Chris Brown) entitled "Drink Up In Me". The song also features Dre of Cool & Dre (one of my top 5 producer/producers at the moment). Now, I'm hearing that this song is NOT them on it, however I noticed that this song is also featured on the new volume of the "R & B Addiction" series from DJ 31 Degreez (one of the leading DJs in the South....and he's legit.) I don't really hear Chris on here, he's a little more whiney-sounding, not unless he wrote the song (he wrote Rihanna's "Disturbia") which is why he is in the credits, sounds more like just Dre. Either way, til someone proves me wrong....here ya go.

CLASSIC MATERIAL: WU-TANG CLAN- ENTER THE WU-TANG (36 CHAMBERS)
As I am writing an essay for tomorrow afternoon, I am blasting my iPod on high volume, while nodding my head to a straight classic! When I say straight classic, I mean STRAIGHT CLASSIC!!! Not one song I hated on this. Head-scratching storytelling and battle rhymes. Hard-hitting, grimey RZA production later copied by others (Brandon, lol...playin) So I figured I share it wit ya, for the hip-hop impaired (Adrianne, Amanda somewhat, most females ever) lol.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LIL' WAYNE'S DECLINING SKILLS....
All of Wayne's shit that has been released lately, has apparently been for the new volume of Weezy and DJ Drama's Dedication mixtape series. If anything that I heard is on this mixtape when it comes out...then I officially step down as a Wayne supporter. However, I'll let you be the judge.

HOW MUCH ONE BLOG ENTRY CAN DO....
Haha, now I don't mean to sound arrogant...well yea, I do, lol. But honestly, this has been a week where I have been influenced and I have been THE influence. And with that, why not apply it to music?
Now although, every time I post a music blog, it is me whining and crying on how I am not reaping the benefits from it, or being pissed at the entire scene in general, due to lack of support from stations, artists, and other bullshit. But with talking with Amanda, planning with Chris and Thought, gettin' wit Ego every time I can, especially with what I have seen and experienced over the last couple of days, it really makes me want to take my music into another direction.
I decided that in following the footsteps of one of my new up-and-coming favorites, Charles "I am a mark for Sonic the Hedgehog" Hamilton, I want to start my own mixtape series where every tape, takes on a different concept, different content, different things to express, yet same flow, same hard beats, same ol' emo me.
Also, I wanted to take this time to expand on something my dear friend Amanda stated in her blog, in which I am apparently the reason she posts everyday now.....lol, arrogance....lol....anyways, yea I been stressing people these last couple days, with the idea that I am getting way too old, WAY too fast. I don't know, a lot of it ties to me, coming face to face with adversity. No, more like a head-on-collision. I have a LOT more responsibilities now than what I had a year ago, and while a lot of it, is a bit overwhelming, to the point where it becomes routine for me, in the process it drags me down as the "free spirit" that I am, to where I'm damn near a robot.
I know my friends urge me to elaborate more as to why everyday sucks for me, and I always give a vague response simply put as "ehhhh". Reason: WHAT'S TO EXPLAIN? LOL. I mean everyday is routine for me. Go to school, get bored. Come home, procrastinate. Go to work, get ridiculed for four hours. Same thing. Only when I am recording, hanging with friends, or I am to myself, putting my creative assets to work, is when I am at solace with everything around me.
So, with me being 23 with 364 days 'til 24, it's safe to say I'm stuck, but who's to say, I won't get through...whether with the luck of God or through hard work.

THE SYMBOL OF MY NEW TAKE ON LIFE...
Well everyone it is official. Senator Barack Obama can now be considered President Barack Obama after demolishing Senator John McCain about a good 200 electoral votes in the polls tonight.
Now, I'm skeptical.
Don't get me wrong, I am much like everyone happy that a Republican is no longer gonna be in office soon. However, what I don't like is the fact that in my opinion, black people think that now it is their opportunity to fuck around and do whatever they want. For example, on my way home from work, I saw at least three to four sets of people, running around in the streets, celebrating. It went from prideful on one street to ridiculous comin up to my block. I think that the thing that bothers me, especially when it comes to our youth, is that are they really looking at Barack Obama, the man? Or are they looking at Barack Obama, the black man? In other words, you often have to wonder whether or not, they are really looking and examining everything that he wants to bring to the table as President, and not just that they are happy that a Black President is here.
I'm not trying to sound apathetic as I usually do when it comes to politics, BUT I want all black people, white people, hispanics, asians, etc. to understand one thing. You have ONE night to celebrate...to relish this moment...and then....the party's over. It is time that we take the opportunity that Barack Obama has proposed and utilize it to our everyday lives. IF YOU WANT CHANGE THEN YOU HAVE TO EARN, MAKE, AND TAKE IT!!! Change is NOT going to come overnight.
The bottom line is this, Barack Obama is our new President...let's see what he can do with everything that he has promised, as of one night, I have restored faith in my nation, my peers, and in myself, that we can unite and make something HAPPEN!!! There's no denying that we are gonna be looked at with new eyes, that people are gonna be waiting in the distance for Obama to mess up. But I'll say this, one mess-up from Barack Obama cannot measure for the countless FUCK-UPS George W. Bush has made over his eight years in the White House.
Take what I have said to light, even if you agree or disagree.
We could...we did...and now we must....we must continue...in re-stitching the fabric of our country...The future depends on it.

THE DUMBEST THING EVER SAID IN THE HISTORY OF NIGGADOM!!!
"Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we'd still be in Africa. We wouldn't be here to get this ice and tattoos."
-Soulja Boy Tell 'Em in an interview with Toure.
You know defending this dude for making music to attract people that are his age is one thing, but seriously...anyone...ANYONE defending this dude for spewing this kind of ignorance towards people that have suffered and have been tortured all so that we can be able to live today free as we are....take your hands, place them on your neck....squeeze as tight as you can!!! That's it!!! I am DONE with this little fuck. I refuse to dance to his shit at the club, I refuse to even give his shit a chance. I don't hate the dude, but I hate the persona that he has represented, these last few months....the result of the youth gone wrong.
VOTE TODAY!!!

A LOOK BACK......
With tomorrow being a history-making event and with the clock winding down for people to get they vote on...here's a look at the two candidates that both promise "CHANGE" one way or another after tomorrow.
Starting with Republican nominee, John McCain...
....and Democratic nominee, Barack Obama
Now, here's the deal, although I made it perfectly clear as to who I am supporting, I'm not a politician, I'm not a scholar at knowing ALL the issues, I only worry about what will affect me as I get older and the problems that I will be faced with, and all I know is that Senator Obama has hit it on the head, that he's focused on the issues that affect me and many others in my position. However, that is not to count out Senator McCain, although Obama is in the lead, remember HE COULD STILL WIN, REGARDLESS. Both nominees have great ideas that will affect one or the other, and basically, depending on if they benefit you or not, go out tomorrow and cast your vote. If you're bitching a year from now, that the President is fucking up on the job, and yet you didn't go out there and make your voice heard...you obviously have no right to complain. So, go out tomorrow, I don't care who you vote for...JUST VOTE DAMMIT!!!.......thank you.

THE AFTERMATH OF HALLOWEEN...
Well this has been a "happenin'" two days for me, as I celebrated Halloween and belated Halloween, one wit my bestest homie in the land and wit my bestest girl in the world.
It all started on Friday, where I decided to pimp the nation with my homie Will in tow as we traveled along the east side in a quest to stumble from our heightened beer intake. The first stop was over my friend Cassandra's Halloween shindig at her apartment. Costumes galore, old high school friends, and a sweet craving for whiskey was among me.....BLACK LABEL!!!!
Then as we made it out alive, it was off to Riverwest Commons to see fellow Hell Week associate Amanda and her band Not Worth Remembering. It saw me and Will making new tattooed, alcohol-fueled peeps...me nearly getting in a fight with one of them, and me, drunk and googly-eyed, introducing her band with reading 8 bars off a napkin and STILL fucking up....the shit beer, whiskey, and mix drinks do to you and your psyche. After they rocked it, we left on our way to North Avenue. Knowing we didn't get there in time due to the bars being overcrowded, we just went ahead and did what we did best....fuck with people.
.....btw, Jesus is real cool in person.
The next day saw me catching up with girlfriend and partner-in-crime Adrianne for a couple hours, me making fun of her eating...lol...and her exacting revenge by making me wear a skinny ass girl hoodie to keep warmth....which I had to wear later on to Atmosphere @ the Riverside Theatre. What's also bomb (great) is that I met Slug for the 2nd (3rd) time and he signed my ticket envelope (which will be later given to new fan Amanda). But yes, there is nothing like enjoying one of your favorite rap groups in the middle of a swarm of drunk white hipsters gettin their freak on.
The night ended with another batch of mix drinks and shots in my system, while falling asleep next to my misses...and me falling victim to her nasal shredding snoring. Now she's fast asleep....thinking about me.
Aight....well now it's on to my birthday...and hopefully before I celebrate it....the festivities begin with a new President of the United States of America.
Yes, I watched the ENTIRE speech...and trust me, this is one of the most inspirational messages that I have ever heard come from a man.
