With all this damn Royal Wedding talk and all that,
I feel her pain.

Where's Waldo
Folks have always been looking for Waldo and wondering where he is,
but I have figured it out.
It was kind of a dead giveaway with those stripes and that hat though.
And honestly,
I'm surprised no one else figured this out.
Waldo is a Manchester United fan.

Where You At: The Eastside Boys
Everybody knows Lil Jon,
but do you remember the Eastside Boyz?!
They were 2/3 of the "Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz" collective.
We all see Jon on TV and STILL yellin at everybody,
BUT
what about Big Sam and Lil' Bo?!
WELL,
interestingly enough,
I have a story.
One day, me and the homie Yahree, were out roaming the mean streets of Atlanta. We decided to stop at a Popeye's and enjoy some fine Louisiana style friedchicken. When I pulled in the parking lot, there was a AAA truck next to me, parking as well. The driver got out and walked in. That SAME driver was none other than Lil Bo! Real shit. I can't make this up. I looked at Yahree, and he looked at me, and we both started laughing, cuz we KNEW who that was, instantly. While we dined at Popeye's, Bo was in there as well, but we NEVER spoke to him based on the fact of we didn't know how to approach him. Like, what do we say? "What up, Bo?!" or "What's up wit Jon, my nig?!" No. Notatall. We let the man eat, and be bout his biz.

...at Pappadeaux...

Gina Waters = Last of a Dying Breed
Tisha Campbell- Martin has been in a few films and such.
BUT
She will MAINLY be known for portraying Martin Payne's significant other,
Gina.
The thing that I recently noticed about Gina's character is that NO MATTER WHAT,
she held that crazy negro down.
And THAT RIGHT THERE,
is tremendous.
Today,
there are NOT many women that would deal with a quarter of the shit that Martin put her through.
For instance,
when Martin got fired,
panicked,
disappeared,
she NOT ONLY waited for him,
but embraced his presence back in her life like he NEVER left.
Wow.
I wonder how many chicks,
today,
would do that.
Hell,
let a nigga lose his job or something..
Chicks be QUICK to catch that "you need to hurry up and make a move or else" itch!
For example.
I recall the plot between Fancy and Jamie.
I mean,
yea,
they were together and all that,
BUT,
did she REALLY believe in his dreams?
Like foreal foreal?!
I know MANY women like that though.
Want you to give up YOUR hopes and dreams,
and become a company man.
Womp.
How bout that time Martin was going to his high school reunion to stunt,
but Gina couldn't make it cuz she had that allergic reaction and all that?
She STILL showed up,
but was STILL there to hold her man down.
Or how bout when Martin got his ass beat by Tommy Hearns.
I mean,
yea,
she laughed,
but she STILL held that man down,
DESPITE IT ALL!
I heard a response from someone that went like Martin wasn't out in the streets goin' and all that was the reason why she was there for him.
Gina held him down in MORE than one way.
All that freakin THEY was doin..
Why would he NEED to go somewhere else?!
I bet she swallowed too!
It's like I say,
"Why have 5 women do one thing, when I can have 1 woman do 5 things?"
And I bet Martin agreed.
Honestly,
If I think about it,
the LAST woman I had that was playing on Gina's level would be back in 2002.
Yea.
Damn near a damn decade ago.
It was like REGARDLESS of whatever,
she was there for me.
And that right there,
was enough.
ASU, foh!
I see Arizona State is about to have a NEW following.
I can see it now.
All them white folks throwin up them rakes at games.
I cannot wait!

Happy Birthday Lutha!
With all this smoke talk,
I forgot to honor a legend.
Today would mark the 60th birthday for Luther Ronzoni Vandross!!
Yes, the nigga WAS rather questionable at times,
BUT
He DID put out some GREAT music!
you was STILL a fan!
Hell,
I mean,
I'm JUST sayin...
Rest in peace.
Happy April 20th!
Today is April 20, 2011.
Yes.
And people celebrate for MANY reasons.
One being Hitler's birthday...
Yea, that guy..
OR
Like everyone else,
the smoker's holiday day!
4/20 is referenced as being developed by some young stoners in 1971,
and it stuck.
Either way,
it's STILL hump day.
Oh yea,
stay away from those Jeffreys...

Protect ya neck!
Sooo,
mi madre was watching Tyra,
and she had on there these chicks that beat up their dudes.
At first this was hiLARRYous because the way the dudes was looking,
all pathetic and such,
and the chick on there all confused and bewildered.
She had this one white chick on there who is "abusive" to her significant others,
and then Tyra brought out her ex.
He was black.
He was a little dude and the way the two looked,
she looked just a tad bit,
not much,
bigger than him.
She WAS a stacked white chick tho.
Can't front.
Like I said,
she was abusive to ALL her guys.
I just wanted to know how many of her exes were black?
Did she beat up all of em?
And if that is the case,
there is some deeply rooted racial tension.
They need to talk to her parents, especially her daddy.
I'm just saying.
I wish a chick WOULD try me.
Play fight if you want to....
Just don't get mad when I knock the hell outta yo ass!

Saturday Night Saints
I think its funny how folks go out Saturday night and do any and EVERY thing!
From getting tremendously wasted to layin up with some random.
Then be RUSHING to make it to church in the morning.
Don't get me wrong.
and trust me,
I do NOT.
The sad part is that folks do.
I believe that as long as you ARE in the house,
that is ALL that matters.
It shows effort,
right?
I know PLENTY of times that Bryan was doing the devils work Saturday,
and then I'd have to play Good Samaritan by dragging him to church the next day smelling like a package store.
For instance,
Last evening,
I was out with some folks who were congregated at a bar,
and that event was rather dry.
So these gentlemen decided to take it upon themselves and venture off to a club where the ladies take their clothes off.
This is fine.
The reason I bring it up is because one person asked another,
"Are you goin to church?"
and he replied with,
"I'm goin to BOTH services!"
And it was said with such vigor and confidence!
That's whats up.
I've missed church PLENTY a Sunday.
Like today.
Am I proud of this?
Probably not.
I can recall a time I was out with an ex,
and we had done some stuff that I know I probably should NOT of been doing with her,
into the wee hours of the morning.
YET,
She MADE me get up and go to praise with her.
Now that I recall,
that scenario was quite an interesting series of events.
But that is ANOTHER post entirely.
I'll be honest.
I have a habit of getting in so late that it's early,
BUT,
I CAN count on Taresa to wake me up next week for Easter.
Hell,
I might not even go out JUST to make sure that it happens!
Like I said,
I don't judge,
cuz nobody's perfect.

Derrick got dem werkz..
I think folks forget that Derrick Rose IS from the Southside.
(cues up DJ Nephets)
Shoutout to House Arrest II!!!
Tom & Jerry
Upon review,
as much as I enjoy watching cartoons and such,
Tom & Jerry is a classic.
Yet,
It's kinda one sided.
Many folks would cheer for Jerry,
and that's cool and all,
BUT,
if you actually pay attention to most of the cartoons,
you would see that Jerry was usually the one messing with Tom,
and that's messed up.
One thing I enjoy though is the weaponry that these two characters had to choose from.
Like you will NOT see someone chasing something around with a LOADED SHOTGUN today!!
And yet miss every time.
OR
a hatchet ax,
swinging like Mark Mcgwire.

I bet you didn't know Sean couldn't sing!?
With the success of Dirty Money and "Last Train To Paris",
I wonder if folks know that Sean has been NON-singin for some time now.
And this shit has to be ended.
I look to two songs that showcase his foolishness.
Yes, this was back when Bad Boy was makin major moves,
but still..
Give a nigga some money and they think they can do whatever they want.

Forest Whitaker tho?!
So Forest Whitaker is a GOOD actor?!
I mean,
granted,
The Last King of Scotland WAS a pretty decent film,
but let's be honest.
This negro has fooled the world.
Misconception.
APPARENTLY.
Because I'm unemployed.
I'm supposed to sit at home and be broke.
All day.
EVERYDAY.
Notatall.

Lebron, really?
This is NOT gonna be about the Heat.
As if the MVPuppets were NOT enough,
Mr. James has taken it upon himself to create a cartoon based on his "The Lebrons" characters that were used to launch his signature shoe.
Don't get me wrong,
I AM a Lebron fan.
I just think it's rather amusing that this nigga took it a step further to create a cartoon.
My bad.
WEB-BASED cartoon.
Let me turn on Cartoon Network and see this clown...
I can't front though.
and I'm surprised that Mr. James actually voices one of the characters too.
The character he DOES voice is no surprise though.
Yea,
THAT Jason Weaver.
I guess considering it's been rather chilly in Miami,
Lebron needs to find SOMETHING to do..
Fake ass Fred Rogers..

Remember when Timbaland was good?
The first time I heard "Up Jumps The Boogie",
I was at my grandma's house,
watchin music videos on BET,
back when they did that,
and the intro came in with what sounded like "Keep it up",
then Aaliyah singing "We gon' show, you how we party.."
That was the BEST SHIT I HAD HEARD,
and I was an instant fan.
I was SOOO thirsty,
that I went to Walmart and bought the CLEAN ASS single.
Which also lead me to buyin the CLEAN ASS album.
Yea,
I know.
Timbaland, Magoo, Missy, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, and Playa was a CRAZY union because they included ALL aspects of a super group.
That's probably why they were called the "Superfriends".
Mr. Mosley's production though,
was SOO bananas,
That he used the SAME BEAT FOR 3 DIFFERENT SONGS!!!
2. Playa - Cheers 2 U (RIP Static)
I bet you didn't know that,
Did you know he worked with Jodeci?
Probably not.
ANYWAY,
His samples, beats, production, and everything was beYOND awesome.
And as stated in a previous posting,
if you were a music fan during the late 90s into the early 2000s,
when it was good,
Like most producers though,
his lyrics weren't ALL that,
BUT,
you could expect some SERIOUS beats.
I mean,
the man had 4 studio albums worth of heat before he went pop with Shock Value,
which subsequently was the demise of his "rap" career,
and lead him to stating that he would no longer be making rap music,
and sticking to pop music.
Not to say that what he has done with Justin wasn't good.
But still,
no bet.
I don't know though....
I guess you can't front a man that wants to make money,
BUT,
marinate.

Where you at: JT Money
Who dat, who dat, who dat, who dat, who dat, who dat, who,
remembers JT Money?
If you are a music fan,
then recall the WIDE and VAST array of music that was being put out during the late 90s and into the early 2000s.
Jeff Thompkins was on of these acts.
His hit song, "Who Dat", was a SMASH hit,
and it featured Sole,
before she made that song with Ginuwine and put a NEGATIVE pause on his career cuz they wanted to get hitched and start a family and such.
No bet.
BUT,
I digress.
Mr. Thompkins had a couple of albums full of mediocre lyrics and all that,
yet,
he allegedly fell on hard times,
and was befallen with bankruptcy.
You would think that since he was from Miami though,
he would pop up in someone's video or SOMETHING.
Guess not....
Remember Uno?!
I can't say "remember the game Uno?" cuz I KNOW that EVERYBODY has a deck of cards somewhere in their house.
SOMEWHERE.
It's a fun game,
and can get quite competitive at times.
YET,
I believe the reasoning behind that is because folks like to take something easy and fun,
and make it extra and ridiculous.
I learned how to play YEARS ago as a young sapling,
and since then,
I have come across QUITE a few rules, tweaks, adjustments, quirks, and ways to play.
I ain't talkin bout that bullshit "Uno Stacko" either,
(white folk..)
BUT,
I digress.
Basic Uno Rules:1. 7 Cards2. 1 card for each play3. If you don't have the color that is being played, you draw 1 card.4. 1 winner, game over
Apparently, according to black folk, that wasn't enough.
New rules include stacks, doubles, and triples are ALL an EXTRA way to play, and are USUALLY played together.
Doubles: having the same value of a card, just different colors, can be played at once.
This goes for triples too (so on and so forth.)
Stacks: having cards in a numerical sequence (1,2,3 or 8,7,6), no matter the color, can be played at once.
Also works for Skip, Draw 2, and Reverse cards.
Stacks ALSO refers to STACKING cards after the previous person.
For instance,
I throw down a Draw 2, then the next person throws down a Draw 4, then the NEXT person throws down a Draw 2, and the last person is left to pick up 8 cards.
That shit is funny as hell.
I got a rule where as if this situation comes up, if you don't have a "Draw" card, you can throw down a Reverse card, and the person before you picks up.
Once again,
funny as hell.
I played a game where it was my turn to deal, and I was told to "deal however many cards I felt like dealing out".
Also, if I didn't have a card, I had to keep pulling from the deck UNTIL I found a playable card.
Huh?!
What is quite hiLARRYous is that folks remember all these EXTRA damn rules, but forget the ACTUAL rules.
Like how the same colored cards can be played at ANY time.
And then they realize that they are dumb.
However you play the game,
just make sure you don't forget to say "Uno" when you're down to that last card.

Onward and Upward
Yesterday,
April 4th, 2011,
marked the 43rd year of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Many people celebrate the man's legacy and birth with a day off considering his contribution to society was immense,
and that right there is a beautiful thing.
My late frat brother was a definite pillar for equal rights,
not just nationally though,
but the entire world.
In August,
the men of Alpha Phi Alpha, as well as other constituents, will be in Washington, DC, for the unveiling of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
I DO plan on attending this, of course.
And,
If you're in the area,
or have some free time,
you should attend as well.
The man stood for equality for all.
Yet,
as we sit and reflect,
has his dream been realized?
