my boy sean lawrence james

told me i ought to start a music blog. i know i don't too much share my opinions and reviews of music on here..or outloud..or any where really. in fact most people are completely unaware of my extensive knowledge of all things music. well, extensive may be fancying myself and perhaps lying a little bit. but i do have a lot to say and when in the company of people that i feel are "on my level", i enjoy talking about artists and citing references for samples, discussing remixes, reminising, etc.

i could be the next fresh at crunktastical or something.

ha!

anyway-- he also sent me this block banger, that's a good look, baby, and a hood look.


beyonce's upgrade you

now, I'm usually prone to hate on her (despite my being a fan) and these hood chick anthems in which she caters to him while playing herself out and what not. quite frankly i think the bitch proclaims her crazy in "ring the alarm", in which she basically lets the world know that she isn't leaving jigga cause those vvs stones & royce's are HERS.

she's interesting. she's an independant woman but then other times she's like fuck it, i'll let him lead the way. i can identify. beyonce's southern, she knows there isn't anything wrong with holding down a man and the household...it's a womans job. infact, i sometimes reflect on how much i hate those bra burning feminist who decided women should be incorporated into society and do anything other than have children and cook a meal. do you know how much i'd like to do that? i want to be a house wife! shit.

anyway, i guess i'm no longer mad at her. i suppose i had to step outside myself and realize that i, in fact, feel the same way half the time.

sure it's a double standard but she's creole..which means she's a bit nuts anyway.

jigga better not leave the chick cause i'm sure she's itching to get her obeah woman on and concoct a mean potion to fuck his whole shit up.

i haven't felt like posting in a while

Let's see.. I could either condense a months worth of stuff into a couple of paragraphs or I could just say, my lack of blogging has muchado with my lack of interesting things to say.

I did visit woodstock though.
There are indeed a bunch of hippies and for some reason, all of the teenagers appeared to be strung out. I don't mean they were potheads, I mean they all looked like they'd been doped up. It was quite sad.

School starts in a few days.

That should be cool.

I can't even front. I'm going through some things.
I don't even feel right blogging, I don't feel like I can be honest so there's no point in saying anything.

Whateva.

ugh..

my brother continues to make my life easier by making it damn near impossible to be the disappointing child. we're still stomaching the second wife thing..but I belief this new stint has triumped it all.

well, i'll preface the whole story by saying NO, I don't enjoy being in Cincinnati so much that I just *had* to run home for the 3rd time this summer. In fact, i came on Tuesday but didn't plan on coming until Sunday. Why? Because my mother informed me that my brother, sister in law & four of the children would be here. I haven't seen them in over a year and I want to be an active part of there lives..you know, the cool aunt. Plus the last time I saw my niece Amirah she was still a new born and she didn't look like anything yet.

Well, today is Sunday. I'm leaving tomorrow and I've been here since Tuesday. I have not seen my nieces and nephews. Normally they stay with us but this time they'd insisted that there other arrrangements would suffice..the United nation of Islam housing. Actually, I suppose it's important to note that they were here for the children to do something described as like a summer camp and for thier mother to take classes. It sounded nice at first, the kids are home schooled so tey definately needed the interaction with other children and thier mom could certainly use a break.

HOWEVER... Tuesday when I got here my sister in law informs me that they have tight schedules and she doesn't think I'll be able to see them until Sunday (but that's the only reason I'm here..). I grin and bear it but of course my mother isn't feeling that (my dad is over it completely). She calls my SIL back and reminds her that I only came to see them and asks her to make an exception. She says Wednesday looks good, seeing as how they will be finished with there task at 2.

Wednesday, noting. We called once and left a message as to not appear desperate. Mom & I decided to enjoy our time together and stop thinking about them.

I did..

But now it's Sunday. I'll be gone tomorrow. I want to see my fucking neices and nephews. My dad calls my brother to ask all of the important questions.. "can we just go by and see them?", "are we allowed to go sit with them at the (UNOI) diner?", "why didn't you inform us that this would be like this? lauren wouldn't have wasted the money to come here", "can we talk to them on the phone? can we go past and just wave, damn?"

nothing.

they aren't allowed company and have to request permission to leave.

Jim jones?

Anyway, I did get to spend some quality time with my first and only first cousin, Julian. He's 8 months I think & while he hasn't started walking, he can swim.











Speaking of which, I think I'm going to go tan.
