*Written April 10, 2009*
Ok, so I just had an encounter with a rude employee at a store near the campus area. I was trying to break a 20 so I could wash clothes, right? No biggie. To this employee it was though. I grabbed a bag of gummy bears that cost a 1.00 because for one I think it’s bullshit to make someone buy something JUST to give them change. Everybody’s a hustler…
So the cashier says to me. “You can’t buy one fucking thing with a 20 dollar bill.”
Out of line I know right. Now me, for those who know me can tell I’m very reserved, really quiet. My girlfriend is very outspoken and some read it as I am submissive which is not the case at all.
In this world people will get over on you anyway they can and will do their best to use you as much as possible. I know this since my own brother stole my identity and I am now fighting several credit cards that were opened in my name. Fucked up, I know, I know.
So as I think on how I should react to his rudeness, I decided not to get back at him because it is a waste of my time. I am above arguing with someone in a store over something so trivial. Then I said, “Well no one told me that last time I was here”. Then he was rude again and said, “Different fucks for different folks.” So I decided to leave before I got too upset and pulled into the bullshit.
I told my girlfriend shortly after and she took it upon herself to tell him off and got the store manager! She is very protective over the people she loves, but if I let it go, she should have too. So I’m like, “What is taking her so long?” Sure enough she comes out telling me that she got the manager and then her and the guy who was rude to me exchanged words.
Then she leaves heated as well, and tells me what happened. Shortly after that, he comes to where we were and asks me, “Did you say I was rude to you?” I said, “Yea” and kept walking. Then he says, “Well I’m on break holla at me now homie.” Inviting me to fight him. I avoid altercations at all costs because I have a very bad temper and the sheer insignificance of this situation pissed me off even more. Then I started having thoughts of him trying to fight my girl and then I would have killed him no hesitation, because you don’t fuck with my people.
Then I got a little upset with my girl because going back over there wasn’t necessary, I let it go because I knew what type of person I was dealing with. He obviously doesn’t care about his job, if he did he wouldn’t have talked to me like that. Now if somebody doesn’t care about their job in the times we live in now, what else don’t they care about?
Which brings me to my point: Wrapped up in bullshit.
How many times have you seen someone you know or even yourself engaged in something that is stupid? For you fellas, ever fought someone for accidently spilling a drink on you, or stepping on your shoes, or even looking at you wrong? Then after it was over you think that shit wasn’t worth it at all?
For you ladies, ever fought a girl because she was scheming on your man or talking about you behind your back or mugging you in the club? Then when time passes you look back and are like, “If he was my man, I wouldn’t have had to fight her, she would have heard it from him to back off.”
It is not arrogant to say certain things are beneath you. Look at 2Pac, he had no business in Vegas fighting that gang member. He was a celebrity fighting like a street thug. His mind was too great to not think.
You have to understand that some people have nothing to live for and can’t be reasoned with. Whether it’s their upbringing or life experiences something makes them more likely to explode over things that any reasonable person would ignore.
So what part does God play in all this?
Well, He is the protector of His people and anyone who dares mess with them or try to harm them will feel His wrath. So if that’s the case, we can rumble in the streets all we want and God will protect us right. Nah homie it doesn’t go down like that. If you lie with dogs expect to come up itching. You can’t invite drama and expect God to save you all the time. You deserve that if you stay mixed up in it. If you flee from it and live a good life and drama finds you then that’s a different story.
The point?
I got too much to live for and too much to accomplish to let somebody pull me down.
You should act like that too.

Intro To Myself

Part II - A woman told me, "ALL THE GOOD MEN ARE GONE & IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE THEY DON’T WANT US!" I laughed in her face!
You know I had to write on it one more time! You can call this part two to the first note about women griping on how n*#%@! Ain’t shit.
I’m writing about it again because there is more to the problem than what I said in the last note. Some women blame all men for the problems they had with a FEW. In addition to that, they carry a mindset that not only leads to MORE dissent and anger, but also more pain for themselves.
Yes, now we’re on the topic of black men who date outside of their race. The root of this problem goes back to slavery when slave masters would get some of that black woman they hated so much. This made the white women who were the wives of the masters mad because in their wildest dreams they couldn’t imagine their man wanting something as ugly as that (the black woman). They even tried to justify the man’s cheating by saying the women must have used voodoo to get him to sleep with them. This shows how little sense they had.
If you were a slave and could use voodoo, WOULDN’T YOU USE IT TO KILL THE SLAVE MASTER SO YOU COULD BE FREE???
I would. Anyway...
So the white woman began to hate the black woman for what she possessed from the strength, to the large breasts and the hips and the booty (lol).
Hate only comes from envy.
Now let’s fast forward a few centuries. It’s 2009 and interracial relationships are bigger than they ever were. This is not only a black/white thing, it encompasses ALL races. No combination pisses off a black woman more than a black man and a white woman, you can lie all you want, but it’s the TRUTH!
For those of you that haven’t seen “Jungle Fever” with Wesley Snipes and Spike Lee as actor and Director. You should see it, it’s a good movie. The main plot is Wesley Snipes’ character is in a loving marriage with his black wife and he starts working with a white/Italian intern. They spend late nights talking and working until one night they get caught up and have sex with each other.
After this Wesley’s wife finds out and throws him out and then meets with her friends to talk about the problem. Spike Lee called it a “war consulate” which is what it was. They sat around bombing everything black man related and said they felt that there were no good men left. However, the wife who was cheated on said she doesn’t believe that, she felt that women were looking in the wrong places. She said women weren’t looking at the bus drivers, and the garbage men. WHY? Is that job not good enough? For the record garbage men make MONEY! Lol.
That scene brought up a good point. Where are you looking, and what type of attitude are you holding when you are looking?
I don’t care what anyone says, some black women are extremely by the fact that some black men date outside of the race. Have you ever heard the phrase, “self hate”? People say this because they think the man hates or has an aversion to dating in his race. So they assume he is purposely dating out of his race. This may be true, but have you considered why he is purposely dating out of his race?
Maybe his preference is an Asian, Hispanic, Brazilian, Indian, or White girl and not you. Is that so hard to handle? Why act like that is the only man in the world? The reason women get so mad at men like this is because they want them! If a woman doesn’t want a man she does not care what or who he’s doing and who he’s doing it with.
Race should NOT matter, but in this life it does. The LEVEL that it matters can be changed. Too often women keep the cycle going and get madder and madder but do nothing to change their actions.
No good men? Pick better ones! Tired of being treated like nothing? Act like you’re something! Tired of the “man” leaving you after he has sex with you? Stop giving it up! Tired of seeing black men with white women? Stop looking!
Handle your business and you’ll not only be happy but that tightening in your forehead will disappear!
Ok, I’m done with this topic, be on the lookout for the next!

The Traits of a Dog/Women WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?!?!?!
So, in my life I’ve seen a lot of things and compared to other people I haven’t seen that much. Certain things upset me though because they are situations that can be avoided if the person in the situation pays attention to the signs. What signs you ask? The signs of a dog, that’s right a dog!
Too many times I’ve seen the angry diatribes from women talking about how the men they deal with aren’t shit and how there are no good men left. Then the most eloquent, “Niggas ain’t shit” complaint. Well I’m going to say something that’s going to blow your mind, you’re right! Niggas ain’t shit because “niggas” are not human. We could go into this debate FOREVER but anyway that word was meant to dehumanize and emasculate so when you say it the statement becomes rather obvious. I’m no expert on relationships or what goes on in people’s lives. I just tell it like it is from my point of view and what I have experienced.
In my life I have been with a girl, who cheated on me, and I’ve been with girls who have said mean things and I didn’t say all women were shit. Maybe it’s because I looked at myself and asked, “Did I deserve to be treated like that?” I found myself saying,”No.” So I felt compelled to find a woman who would treat me like I wanted to be treated. Yes, certain things I brought on myself because I have a foul mouth and a bad temper but that’s where owning your mistakes comes in. It’s so easy to blame the other party for what goes wrong in a relationship because it takes the pressure off of you. Real people can look at themselves and correct THEIR mistakes so that when the next potential companion comes along they won’t carry the same pain from the last one. Better yet, if they dealt with their own issues their eyes would be open to the possibility that their choices were wrong! Yes, it is possible to have a string of bad choices but that doesn’t mean every choice after that is not worthwhile.
This is why relationships are getting harder and harder to maintain. People point the finger at each other, respect drops and people expect you to live up to their expectations. Look at this, take a woman who’s been cheated on, or beat, or deceived. Now, from whatever she’s dealt with it caused her to lower her expectations of men. She now has the mindset that men are no good, or they are out for one thing. Yea, we know there are plenty of men only out to check off the number of women they slept with as their own personal quest, fuck them. You have to understand that there are also plenty of good men out there!
The thing is, when you have a negative attitude you push men away. How do you expect a good man to live up to your expectations when they’re so low? No matter what a good man does you’re always waiting for him to “be a man”. Then when the man gets frustrated or you push him to be with someone else, he’s not shit either. No one is right all the time. No one is always a victim. Accountability HAS to come in otherwise you’ll be sitting on the porch with a shotgun talking to your 80 cats to replace the one man you miss. I’m not going to talk about this one too long, just had to vent.
Anyway, to all those women who think men aren’t shit, PLEASE spare me, I’m a man and I AM a good one, so if I exist, then MANY more exist.
Am I right or wrong?
**FOR THE RECORD**
Women are not dumb or naive, they know when they have a good man and when they don't. EVERY good man gives off signs of that, and so does every bad one. Regardless of what he does, like, beating you, cheating on you, or neglecting you ladies you KNOW what kind of man you have after a certain point. Too many choose to ignore the signs and stay! So there is no excuse for those women, but the one's who legitimately didn't know then don't be discouraged!

Practice
Painted pictures in an art gallery give off an innovator's view.
Railroad tracks can do the same too.
Actually railroad tracks have more of a story.
Conveniently indignant at anyone disparaging its historical sentiment.
Tarry in reasoning the point of the diatribe.
I just don't understand where big business and human life coincide.
Could you tell me why people are worth less than a company's interest?
Earl Klugh titled it best, "Finger Paintings" are just like hammers.
A lot of people died on the rails, while we ride not concerned with our actions.
That's how big business likes to practice.

How To Dismantle A Man
Step 1: Separate him from his father.
Step 2: Make sure you teach him to define his manhood by the size of his penis.
Step 3: Fill him with anger and resentment.
Step 4: Separate him from his history.
Step 5: Teach him to objectify and mistreat women.
Step 6: Give him a rap CD (Of an artist we promote heavily)
Step 7: Any questions?
Admit It: You Think Rappers Are God!!!
They aren’t by a long shot!! That title brings up an interesting point though. To prevent distraction from my point here, I am not accusing you; once again the title is just the attention getter!
In my almost 22 years of age (insert shameless March 25thbirthday plug here)
I’ve listened to a ton of music and have heard the whole spectrum, excluding country and rock and roll because I hate both of those intensely!
I’ve heard lines that I thought were nice like, “when we riot, they don’t care about the dollars lost/ they sippin cocktails while we throw the molotovs/”others terrible like, “I’m on the block/ posted up like a mailbox/”.
Then I’ve heard lines that made me wonder if a rapper was evil.
That’s right by “evil” I mean down with the devil.
Lines like, “When I was twelve, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus." Then lines like, “..Look at my scalp real close and you’ll see triple 6’s” (from Big L’s, “Devil’s Son”).
I don’t talk about evil a lot because that’s time wasted that could be used on positivity. Some things have to be said otherwise people would never know.
This note is targeted to everyone but with an emphasis on those who believe in God and happen to like the rappers I’m going to mention.
*Before you argumentative people open your mouth, I’m talking about myself too.*
Ahh, now that we’ve got that issue out of the way…
What is blasphemy? My definition: Saying you are God and thinking you are God.
Now, who is God? He can’t be defined because definitions are limiting. He can have adjectives attributed to Him so that we can better understand Him. He is the King. He is the ruler and creator of ALL things! (There goes the evolution argument)
He is power, if He says it then it happens. Your sight, heartbeat and EVERYTHING in this world and universe works because He says so. Even the devil has to ask God’s permission to do his fuckery.
Now, what does God have to say about blasphemy? (Biblical backing for KO, lol)
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.
Isaiah 65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
Ezekiel 20:27-33 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations? For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. ...
Ezekiel 35:11-12 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
So what rappers am I talking about? There are a TON that have done this, but I will only mention a few: Big L, Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah, Lil’ Wayne, 50 Cent, The Game, Guru of Gang Starr and others.
First look at The Game’s song, “My Life”.
This is a lyric contained in it.
“Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
The high beams on, me and the Devil share chronic blunts
Listening to the "Chronic" album, playing backwards”
First off, who talks about being with the devil like he is their friend? Something is wrong here…
Even 50 Cent did it, back when he was beefing with Bang em smurf and Domination. He made a diss song where he said, "I'm like God to you niggas!"
WAY out of line.
Now let’s look at Lil’ Wayne’s, “Bring it back”.
"Weezy F da reverend preach about me I'm da god 1-7 apple and E"
He calls himself God! That is blasphemy, the highest and most disrespectful thing a human can do to God. I told you what God said about that earlier.
Now, look at this song lyrics from Jay-Z. A man who calls himself, “J. Hova, another way of saying Jehovah, one of God’s many names.
Jay-Z, "D'evils"
"I used to say 'fuck mic skills,' and never prayed to God, I prayed to
Gotti
That's right it's wicked, that's life I live it
Ain't askin' for forgiveness for my sins, endz Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils.."
Now check these lines from Full Clip by Gang Starr:
“Stupid, you know the god must bless every single mic he touches
I've suffered just so i can return harder
Since, back in the day I held the weight and kept my head up
They wanna see the god cacth an L, its all a set up”
Additionally, check this line from:
Kanye West’s, “Diamond from Sierra Leone remix”
“I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water
This ain't no tall order, this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week”
He’s gonna walk on water like Jesus did right? How can you listen to a man that says this? Not to mention the fact that he says he’s “the God MC/me J. Hova/”
Now look at what the late Big L said in a song called, “Devil’s Son”, the title says enough…
Big L- Devil’s Son
“I'm rolling with Satan, not Jesus Christ
Enemies I got several done
Big L straight from hell, the motherfucking Devil's Son
Word, Big L the motherfucking Devil's Son is definitely in effect
Giving a shout out to all the murderers, thieves, armed robbers
Serial killers, phychos, lunatics, crackheads, mental patients
Mental retards, and a special shoutout to all the niggas with AIDS, peace”
He says he rolls with satan not Jesus Christ! People revere him as one of the best to ever rhyme. That may be true but to make a song like this is beyond wrong.
Now, I’m no saint, but there is no sin that is greater than this. God said it himself! He will forgive murderers, fornicators, rapists, homosexuals, liars, the whole nine, if they repent and accept him as their savior but THIS He will not! He called it an “eternal sin”.
This is why I hate rap because most of it is a direct slap in the face of God. Then when they win the awards the first person they thank is God. What nerve! You can make songs about being God or killing him, or songs about girls licking you like a lollipop and then thank God. As I said before, “what the fuck is wrong with you???”
Remember be careful what you listen to and who you look up to, because you may be looking at something you don’t fully understand.
Is it just music or more than that?
You guys let me know what you think.

Isaiah 65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
Ezekiel 20:27-33 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations? For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. ...
Ezekiel 35:11-12 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
So what rappers am I talking about? There are a TON that have done this, but I will only mention a few: Big L, Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah, Lil’ Wayne, 50 Cent, The Game, Guru of Gang Starr and others.
First look at The Game’s song, “My Life”.
This is a lyric contained in it.
“Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
The high beams on, me and the Devil share chronic blunts
Listening to the "Chronic" album, playing backwards”
First off, who talks about being with the devil like he is their friend? Something is wrong here…
Even 50 Cent did it, back when he was beefing with Bang em smurf and Domination. He made a diss song where he said, "I'm like God to you niggas!"
WAY out of line.
Now let’s look at Lil’ Wayne’s, “Bring it back”.
"Weezy F da reverend preach about me I'm da god 1-7 apple and E"
He calls himself God! That is blasphemy, the highest and most disrespectful thing a human can do to God. I told you what God said about that earlier.
Now, look at this song lyrics from Jay-Z. A man who calls himself, “J. Hova, another way of saying Jehovah, one of God’s many names.
Jay-Z, "D'evils"
"I used to say 'fuck mic skills,' and never prayed to God, I prayed to
Gotti
That's right it's wicked, that's life I live it
Ain't askin' for forgiveness for my sins, endz Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils.."
Now check these lines from Full Clip by Gang Starr:
“Stupid, you know the god must bless every single mic he touches
I've suffered just so i can return harder
Since, back in the day I held the weight and kept my head up
They wanna see the god cacth an L, its all a set up”
Additionally, check this line from:
Kanye West’s, “Diamond from Sierra Leone remix”
“I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water
This ain't no tall order, this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week”
He’s gonna walk on water like Jesus did right? How can you listen to a man that says this? Not to mention the fact that he says he’s “the God MC/me J. Hova/”
Now look at what the late Big L said in a song called, “Devil’s Son”, the title says enough…
Big L- Devil’s Son
“I'm rolling with Satan, not Jesus Christ
Enemies I got several done
Big L straight from hell, the motherfucking Devil's Son
Word, Big L the motherfucking Devil's Son is definitely in effect
Giving a shout out to all the murderers, thieves, armed robbers
Serial killers, phychos, lunatics, crackheads, mental patients
Mental retards, and a special shoutout to all the niggas with AIDS, peace”
He says he rolls with satan not Jesus Christ! People revere him as one of the best to ever rhyme. That may be true but to make a song like this is beyond wrong.
Now, I’m no saint, but there is no sin that is greater than this. God said it himself! He will forgive murderers, fornicators, rapists, homosexuals, liars, the whole nine, if they repent and accept him as their savior but THIS He will not! He called it an “eternal sin”.
This is why I hate rap because most of it is a direct slap in the face of God. Then when they win the awards the first person they thank is God. What nerve! You can make songs about being God or killing him, or songs about girls licking you like a lollipop and then thank God. As I said before, “what the fuck is wrong with you???”
Remember be careful what you listen to and who you look up to, because you may be looking at something you don’t fully understand.
Is it just music or more than that?
You guys let me know what you think.

Chris Brown is going to hell for beating Rihanna!
Well, well, well.
I'm glad you decided to click this note to read it! The real title of this note is, “Is Chris Brown a bad person for beating Rihanna?”
I just titled it like that to pull you in! ;)
Let me start off by saying I do NOT think Chris Brown is going to hell for beating Rihanna.
I’m listening to “Freeze” as I write this one! (It’s my shit!)
Anyway, I remember the first time I watched the video I was struck with a thought as I saw Chris Brown’s part in the video.
Then I began to think of his side of the story. I don’t think he should have did that to her, but once again we don’t know what she did to provoke him, or whether they were intoxicated.
Personally I think it was just an argument that got out of hand. Since the story came out they have reconciled and are together.
So why write this one?
As evident in my last note about BOMA, I learned what it means when people accuse someone of being judgmental lol. I wonder if that same judgment can be applied to this situation, or is it warranted since you (the people who dislike Chris Brown) don’t agree with what he did.
Let’s be real all it takes is the right circumstance for ANYONE to hit another person REGARDLESS of their sex. The rules are stacked against men though because they get hit on much more than women (excluding domestic violence cases) but if they hit back they get the label of “woman beater” and they get looked down upon.
Really, I think if you are woman enough to hit a man like you’re a man then just be prepared to be hit back. There is a new kind of man who doesn’t respect the woman like the old kind do. Back in the day to hit a woman was REAL foul and you would really get in trouble. Now it’s so commonplace that it has been accepted to an extent.
What I mean is, it’s so common that we’ve been made numb to it. Like if you watch a movie and laugh at people dying in it because it’s a movie. You would be more likely to be less empathetic if it happened in real life because your mind already finds it funny in a movie that is fantasy but portrayed in a real manner.
I don’t think he’s a bad person, I feel like he just made a bad mistake. The other side of that is, if he’s hit before and this is the biggest incident then I think he needs help. Men hitting women also depends on how much the woman is willing to put up with.
Anyway, she forgave him so we should too. If the person who was impacted by it directly forgives him, what problem should you have???
What do you think, is he a bad guy or not?
