Monique the Comedian dissed on a Airplane

Monique the Comedian,Actress was on United Airlines&got disprespected by the stewardess&Other People who worked on the plane for the airlines. hearing about the Airlines being Racist doesn't shock me at all. I expect things like this on the real. Monique ain't accepting a Apology&I don't blame her. these Airlines act like Black folks ain't worthy of being in first class or something. it's very important that somebody speaks out on the same ole treatment that is a daily occurance.some people think this doesn't happen still&Especially when it concearns Known or Rich Black Folks. but Newsflash be it being Black Rich, Middle Class or Poor it happens to Us All. Props to Monique for standing her ground because it needs to be known&yes in 2006 things of this Magnitude still continue to happen. sad but true.

August is finally here

talk about time flying? we are now into August. the weather is still quite warm all over the nation. August is always a month that just flys by. Summer never ceases to amaze me as it just goes by in a breeze. August means that Football is fast approaching as well.I can't wait. this month has alot of meaning to me.two special Lady's in my life celebrate birthdays this month,on the other hand I lost both my Grandfather's during the month of August. so this Month has always left a lasting impression.

if I could fly

if i could fly I'd shine light through the sky
I'd bring joy&Sunshine to many who have seen
clouds&have tears of circles around there hearts
and minds, if i could fly i'd make a path of air
that we could all breath in&exhale a sense of purpose
i'd show that you can reach your full journey
i'd make a sign that you could feel the spirit of
past ancestors that sacrificed for my today
the willingness to spread my wings&Bring
that Clear seen of a open path is a powerful
force, let's all inspire to fly on the ground
during our day to day

MTV at 25

MTV turns 25 years old&it use to be a real happening network until they turned it into a Network that was everything but about the music. I remember enjoying there videos a whole bumch back in the day,but also cringing at how racist they truly were. Michael Jackson who to me is the M of that Network single-handly made them acknowledge Black Artists on that Network in a big way. later MTV jumped on Rap. Yo! MTV Raps Was huge on that network. over the years Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Madonna,Herbie Hancock , Duran,duran,Tina Turner,etc.... made lasting impressions through there video work on the network. the Video Awards, the Moon Man Award, the various Interviewers who have worked there to TRL&The Whole Carson Daily Era. MTV was a way of Life for many people over the past 25 years.i haven't agreed with quite a few of there choices over the years,but there is no denying there Cultral Impact&there Icon Status.

Prps to Buck O'Neil

Buck O'Neil is 94 years Young&still recently was up at the plate batting in a game. He is one of the legends from the Negro League.this weekend many players from the Negro League are going into Baseball's Hall of Fame, Sadly Buck O'neil isn't one of them. he deserves his place for not only as a Player but also as a Man who pushed the importance&the greatness of that League&time period when Segregation was allowed&Black Baseball players weren't allowed to Play Pro Ball until 1947 when Jackie Robinson broke the color Line&then some months later in the American League Larry Dolby did the same.Buck O'Neil is a Remarkable Man&speaks very direct about the game of Baseball&also Life. very Knowledageable&a man who has made a huge impact on&off the field. it's very important that people understand the importance of the Negro league. it's only been almost 60 years since Jackie Robinson broke the line.

i don't blame Reggie Bush for wanting all the money

Reggie Bush may or maynot hold out this season with the New Orleans Saints. as a Player he has to get all that he can get because oyu just don't have that much time. everybody knows that as a Hesiman trophy winner that he should command more. He should have been the Number draft choice arguably. now he is in a interesting situation because with everything that happen in New Orleans with Hurrican Katrina if he sits out then some folks will say he is greedy,selfish&the typical modern day Athlete,but I believe you must get all you can get. He has a 5 million dollar endoresemnt deal regardless.He was something else in college,but the Pros is a whole different beast. we shall see how all of this plays out. the Saints Football Owner Tom "Boogie" benson is known for being cheap with paying players&Handling business. we shall see how this all plays itself out.

Through God's Eyes

we all are created to have visions that reflect
now the choices of those reflections are all subjective
they are all a Rhythm of time,change&places,but
be it in finding Sin or seeking Salvation&Forgiveness
where does it leave us? the beast of the flesh always
craves more,but the meek¬ so aggresive stands in line
what is the Motivation of waiting&holding back?
if you see Ugly does it make you only wonder what if
that picture was Pretty? if you witnessed Pretty&Beautiful
did you wonder on the flipside what Ugly could be brought out
from that image? two eyes see so much from days as a child of the
unknown to a Adult that can be unsure&in between all of that
what shall be the visual that awaits us is of the corner
because you have to make a turn with your eyes to see what
is bound to arrive

don't you wish that you could talk to the tv?

i mean yes nowadays you can E-mail a place or show which you have a Displeasure with,but have you ever wanted to just shout at the folks on the tv when they said something that you felt was loaded or offensive? most of these sports shows are beyond extremes of saying whatever&anything to just sell what they want. they are harping on the Negativity&the Controversy. there is no balance in there so-called brand of journalism.
or these Music shows where they have some air-head Acts who ain't got no business being on tv. we all have opinions on matters&strong feelings. funny how what is allowed&what is controled.more entertainment&yet so few other voices being heard through these Channels.

Black Man&Not Believing much

it's a new century,but the Problems of the past often
low-key still carry a lasting frame in my mind, be honest
in your journey&you shall be free when it matters most
i see Racism, I see Hate, i see seperate, i see no trust
i see a world that is unsure&doesn't want to fully know
the Black Man&the whole Black Expereince, do I shed a tear
over a world wide war? yes I do,but my heart sheds even more
showers for the War that has taken so much of people who look
like me from there self-esteem, worth being, cases unsolved
people that are still seen as Propety, tagged&&un-claimed
a Mental Genicode to accept over 400 plus years of building
a Nation that Profited in taken away a People from there Land,
culture, Native tongue,etc.... so as my Journey continues I understand
why older Brothers have the expression have the words that don't even
need to come out because the body language speaks volumes

The Power of your Being

you know who you are after a certain point&time
it's nothing wrong with your current space
to each&there own&the same for you&your path
the easy manner you focus from different
challenges&vibes is as easy as washing your
past away with the mind soap that is a bath
mental freedom&Expression all add with
pressences of your soul that are your Ancestors
who are the drummers to your mental&physical beat
you are applauded in silence&Saved from Crisis
Pryaers&Angels allow your being to go into
untapped poetential&Charter surroundings

The Sounds of the Streets at night

Voices that echo&say so much,but have a empty rhythm
many faces that seek a adventure&yet still don't know
where to go
animals roam the same spots as other people seeking
a spot to feel cool¬ have to deal with drama
smells of the area come just as sounds of cars
pass by, a restaraunt is a welcoming sight
and it also has characters that present
a new whole set of rules
colorful language is mentioned in a free-style
and yet you wonder where do you fit into this
mix? what sounds await you on this Evening
is all up to the Beat of your own step.

what makes a Song the song of summer?

when you think of a Song during the Summer do you feel it has to say that it reflects June,July,August&September? does it have to say that the days are Hot&the sky is Blue? what makes you think of a Song for Summer? do you need it all spelled out to you? reason why I ask is because here we are late in July 2006 Summer&Still not one song truly has been the song of the Summer. nothing has spoken to me&made me feel like it is Summer. yeah there are cuts that I grooved to in months gone by,but nothing has said that it is truly summertime&catch those hot rays from the sky.

Alex Rodriquez:New York Drama

hard to believe a Guy can be a MVP&still get booed as if he was a Single A player who had no business at being where he is. now I love my New York Yankees,but Yankee Fans who boo this man are a Bad Joke to me. this man is a MVP only a Year ago. it ain't his fault that the team isn't where they are suppose to be. I know he is the the highest paid&Will go down as One of the Greatest Players Ever. but you gotta cut the Man some slack. He also has to get tough. he has a soft tag labeled at him&He has to step up. but His Numbers&Yearly Production doesn't lie. the Man deserves better. alot of teams who have MVP's from years gone by still acknowledge there players.I know people pay good money&deserve the best,but there also has to be a Happy Medium.

Lance Bass of N'Synch says He is Gay,

so Lance Bass of the Group N'Sync says that he is gay&has a partner. what does that mean as far as the Group or his own career? do people even care? what would you do if you found out your favorite Singer, Actor,Athlete,etc.... was Gay? would it change your apprecation for there gift? it is a real question. in hollywood the industry is known for hiding certain things about celebritys&things. you find very Entertainers who are open&forthright about there choices,etc... he waited way after the N-Sync Hype had cooled off to come out. the big question is if he had have acknowledged his personal business during N'Sync's hey day what would have happen to there popularity? would they still have sold all those records? had all those hits? had those Sell out concerts? be on all those magazines?? etc....

The Human Mind set

what makes us function?
what makes us create&Seek?
what becomes of our curiosity when we become grown?
where do we stop asking why,how&when?
so morphing into adulthood from childhood
do you ever catch yourself&try to remember
various elements that got you where you
ended up?
did you wonder about family members
when you were a child&what made them
tick?
have you ever wanted to re-visit time
&see the past&then drawn conclusions
or do you just go with the flow?

Warm Weather

so Summer has truly hit it's peak. you know if you get out like myself&Play Pick up Basketball, Football,etc.. games then building a good sweat doesn't take alot of time. you are trying to keep cool,but you are also enjoying the warmth of the summer. Summer time means lots of water&just liquids to keep your body cool. I love the beauty of the sun&the smell it brings. there is nothing like the Summer. I like to run down the Ice Cream truck.

Congradulations to Floyd Landis&Tiger Woods

today was a great day in the world of sports. first in france Floyd Landis won the tour de france. His Biking just got strogner&stronger when it looked like he wasn't gonna be near the top. this is the first year in almost a decade without Lance Armstrong. Floyd Landis his ownself is quite remarkable when you consider he can hardle walk, has a Bad hip, but he showed the heart of a champion today. Congradualtions to him.


Tiger Woods won the British Open title which is now his 11nth Major title. the Man is the Best Golfer that I have ever seen period. this was his first major win since he lost his father. he was feeling so much emotion during the final stretch. it's quite impressive to see two Atheletes Win with so much pressure on a grand Scale. Congradulations.

Twin Towers (aka Parents)

what becomes of the Child's mind when the twin towers are no longer there?

what becomes of the Child who isn't wanted by the Foundation?

what becomes of the child who has to seek outside assitance in growth?

what becomes of the Child that has to will there ownselves to live&Survive?

what becomes of the child that maintains going on but still can't wonder why the two most important windows in the building elect to open&Shut on that Child with no air to see growth,&closes the blinders on the future of being as One?

the twin towers didn't elect to have a side building in unison.

Props to Monique's Phat Chick's Award show

I love Women of all Shapes, Races, Etc.... but on the real Thick CHicks always get my head spun like the Wheel of fourtune. I think Full Figured Chicks are always happening. this show was cool again this year. America&Hollywood hardly ever acknowledge thickness on the big screen if ever. not every Woman was meant to be a Size 0-3. I've always dug the Ladies with some Meat on there Bones. Monique did a good job again this year. to me a show like this was must see tv& i watch every year.

10 years of the WNBA, Congradulations

so tonight I'm watching the WNBA All Star game&they are honoring the Women who have made a great impact on the game. Champions, MVP's, All-Stars. I enjoy the Women's Game quite a bit because I see alot of team ball. there might not be alot of dunks,but in terms of playing fundemental basketball I enjoy that element of the Ladies brand of Basketball playing. I enjoy the pacing&overall Athleticism. good Competition all the way around. this is a good All-Star game.

props to Star Jones-Reynolds

Props to Star Jones Reynolds for not backing down to Barbara Walters&also telling the truth over on the view&at ABC. the Powers that Be over at the view&ABC wanted Rosie O'Donnell&they Brought her on board. Rosie is a Bum to me. says alot of Racist stuff&hasn't shown me half the hype that folks keep paying for her tired self. Rosie is just a Suck up basically. good to hear that Star Jones-Reynolds is cool&doing her thing.

Dallas Austin got some big hands

Music Producer Dallas Austin who was recently detained over in Dubai for having 1.26 grams of Cocaine&was facing up to 4 years straight up, until the High Powers of there over-turned his Conviction thanks to Orrin Hatch&also Music Artist Lionel Richie&Music Producer Quincy Jones. Austin was headed to a Birthday party over there with His buddy SuperModel Naomi Campbell. I don't know if Brother Man is Rocking&Rolling on the Cane,but I do know that he is one lucky Brother.the word is that alot of folks think that if he wasn't famous or know&More importantly didn't have some Money that he would have done time straight up. regardless if you get High, you have to be careful. Kate Moss had a Open Line of coke taken,but nothing came of that. different countrys are different when it comes to things like this.you gotta be careful. Austin who has Produced or Written songs on TLC,ABC,Madonna, Michael Jackson,Highland Place Mobsters,etc... has gotten another chance.

some fool is suing Michael Jordan

this cat from Portland Oregon is suing Michael Jordan because he claims they look alike&have the same basketball game&that it is taken it's toll on him.He is suing Michael Jordan for 852 Million dollars. He is 52 years old&added up all the months he has been on the earth times 365 days,etc... this fool is bugging big time. this cat had me laughing so hard that my sides still hurt from hearing this fool talking about this suit. maybe Michael Jordan will get this cat a Paid visit to a Coutch or a nice warmup Logo jacket that is a Strait-jacket.

Italy beat France in the World Cup

this was a great World Cup this year&yesterday the two final teams fought for the cup. there was drama on the field with Penalty kicks. I don't like the Cup coming down to Penalty cups.but anyway it was a great game. now on the real I ain't big on Soccor,but this year was cool. I've always dug players,but never much on teams on the sport. but this was Fun. they were partying hard in Rome last night. France got a warm welcome back home. very memorable game&Battle during the whole Cup tournament. Congradulations to Both Teams for making this a very Memorable battle from start to finish.

Coca Cola Employee caught given Pepsi ingrediants

right about now Fred G.Saford's you Big Dummy is echoing in my mind. how is a Woman who works for Coke gonna give up ingrediants to Pepsi? also who works for Pepsi gonna snitch somebody out? I mean Pepsi sucks. it tastes like bad cough syrup to me. now this Woman recently along with two other co workers was arrested&charged with selling off Coke's secret's to a future project. Pepsi needs all the help they can get to me,but this woman wasn't wrapped too tight because she got tricked big time for a small pay day that might lead to some real time.a Cola War with a semi truce.interesting.

Kenneth Lay founder of Enron died today

today Kenneth Lay died of a Heart attack just a few months away from awaiting sentencing from takening alot of people's money from Enron. so now after a month&change from when he was found guilty in court&while he was on vacation he passed away today. many lives were affected by this Man&His Company's Greed which ended up costing so many people's there savings&in some cases there own lives.i don't know how much sorrow is felt from the famlies that lost there savings. Enron left a lasting impression of the Corperate CEO.

Larry Doby:Remembering the first Black American Leaguer

Larry Doby 59 years ago today became the First Black Major League Ball Player in the American league. he hasn't gotten his due as the Great Ball player he was. he came after Jackie Robinson&has been forgotten by quite a few people. He was elected into baseball's Hall of Fame&is pictured on the Wall in Cleveland's new Ball Park. it's great to remember the greats from the past especially when the color line is discussed. Larry Doby should be acknowledged for the Great player he was along with being just as important to Major League Baseball as Jackie Robinson was.

Happy 4th of July weekend

be very save&enjoy all the good times that await as we celebrate the 4th of July weekend. we shall see flags&alot of patriotic people throughout the country. for some people it's gonna be a long extended weekend. everybody enjoy the freedoms&send prayers to our troops&also lets remember our soliders from the past who foughts in Wars,etc.. enjoy the cookouts, the fireworks,but also Let's Salute our Troops&Freedoms as well.

Sports takes

Congradulations to the Miami Heat. Phil Jackson shut up alot of his critics.
Shaquille O'Neal shut up critics&also sent a strong message to the Los Angeless Lakers,Kobe Bryant&others who doubted he could still Win. Dwayne Wade was unstoppable period. the whole Heat team played like a team&Won.

the NBA Draft:when did it become the Dirk Nowenski league? alot of 7 footers from overseas coming into the league as outside shooters. this NBA Draft was lackluster to me on a whole. quiet as it's kept one day I wouldn't be surprised that the NBA team with the best record will end up playing against a team overseas for the World title&the trip out thing is that alot of the NBA by then will have more foreign players as to USA Born.

Props to Ozzie Gullien for dissign Sportswriter Jay Marriott. I'm tired of alot of these White sportswriters who are racially loaded&don't know when to Shut up. the sportswriters just as society at large still shows hate toward minioritys,sometimes direct,&still disguise.

Wimbledon:every 4th of july weekend means Tennis from England. Last year was great seeing Venus Williams win. but this year should be real interesting. this is suppose to be Andre Agasis last run as a player. stay tunned. I've always watched Wimbledon.

World Cup:it's been great. alot of action&adventures. looking forward to how everything all plays out. alot of flags though&Flopping which mirrors alot of what i see in the NBA. but I enjoy the Competition.

Baseball:has some good division races going on&we are headed into All Star Weekend which should be interesting.

Auto Racing is having a good season.Jeff Gordon got a chance to make some history.

Golf: the same ole story.Tiger Woods,Phil Mickerson&Vijay Singh&maybe 1-2 other cats in the picture at best.

Boxing:there has been some good fights over the past few months,but on a whole Boxing needs somebody to emerge&like fast.
