time to go back in time. the first time in 21 years the Historic Lakers and Celtics finals awaits. these teams throughout time have played 10 times now 11 with the celtics winning 8 of them. fromBill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin to Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. now you have Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett battling for the title which starts june 5th on ABC. back in the day my whole neighborhood would vanish when the game started up. we each had out sides. in my household my Grandmother rooted hard for the Celtics and I pulled for the Lakers. neither one of these teams a year ago seemed title worthy lead alone post season worthy. a year ago Kobe wanted out of LA and then fast forward to now he is the league MVP and going the finals for the first time in the Post Shaq era in LA. Phil Jackson laker head coach is looking to Pass the Great celtics coach Red Aurebach in rings. they are each tied at 9 apiece. Kevin garnett has never been this far in his career but his career has everything in it that shaq and Tim Duncan have accept a ring. Doc Rivers the Celtics Coach is also further than he has been before. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the Celtics are further as well over for the Lakers Lamar Odoms and Pau Gasol are further than they have been. Derek Fisher who won 3 rings when the lakers had Shaq and Kobe from 00-02. this should and could be a memorable Series and hard to say who is gonna win. the Celtics have the better defense and the lakers have the better offense. we shall see how it all goes down and maybe this will be the next chapter in this historic rivalery. get your popcorn, soda and napkins. Beantown versus LA.

smooth carpet
riding on a wave and the feel of the carpet
a symbol of Home and how many steps
we take over it upon time after time
clean it on so many ways
through the months and days and nights
things have dropped upon it
shadows have standed over it
memorys have been formed
while a new piece is awaiting to be
replace stains and other debris that won't go

spelling bee contest
this wek marks the return of the spelling bee. it happens yearly and it is always interesting at the words that the participants have to spell in order to get into the next round,etc... i could never get down with it. i mean playing scrabble can be challenging for me. i have watched the show over the years on ESPN and I have seen some kids faint or have moments of pullin those words out of thin air. i mean Wheel of Fortune can be challenging now imagine standing on a stage and having only a certain amount of time to get the word correctly and then prepare mentally so on and so on. but I Applaud whomever takes on the challege. unlike shows that have selective winners already in the can can we say American Idol or Dancing with Stars or other relaity shows...etc..... you have to bring your game to win this particular event or go home.

dashes of spring
like the wind that made my hair curl
like the shape of the water fountain that
forever said drop coins in here and capture
Magic and Ideas
as I smell the breeze that glides through
my sides I come to feel the embrace of the
spring dancing upon me
the greener the grass and the more
stars are seen in the sky
and the feel of beauty is a face
that shines above, around and
across from me
and this feeling represents
a Season that always feels clear

Sharon stone banned in China
Sharon stone was recently quoted on tv saying that the recent Earth quake in South West China was a direct Bad Karma from Beijing's Policies in the tibet which has now lead to Sharon Stone films and Cosmetics and other things being yanked from department stores. she has since said she is sorry for the remarks. but I ask are you sorry because it got your stuff pulled or you are sorry because of the fact 68,000 people lost there lives and you came back to see the bigger picture? now you gotta understand that beyond any form of devastion you just can't go around saying any and everything regardless if there is some truth to it or you believe there is. problem is nowadays with the Media, Internet, Youtube,etc... somebody got a camera and recorder going off and around. she could have said it in a way that didn't make light of the tragedys and not come off so self serving. basic Instinct no pun intended says for Sharon Stone to Just Shut up because you are not a Quote unquote Political Person per se. I mean in Hollywood everybody thinks they can get on there soap box and yet most of them ignore the Problems we still have here at home. now if Sharon Stone says she is gonna see to it that a Portion of her sales from those department stores over in china will go to direct relief then she could save some face but other wise but a lid on it. and also don't you have to count before you go running off at the mouth? she has only made 2 memorable films in the past 15 plus years tops. in truth one and been on a Milk Carton for years in the whatever happen to there career file??

full pockets and i can't lose
the moment of feeling full

then the color of what attracts
brings so many species out of the

Lakers and Spurs Conspiracy going on?
it's no secret that NBA CEo David stern wants the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. now I will give the Lakers there due for being a team that you don't want any part of and Kobe Bryant is the MVp and best Player going in the NBA right now,but at the end of that game last night between the Lakers and Spurs Bret Barry of the SPurs got fouled by Derek Fisher. he was in 3 point territory and he got fouled period. the ref during that final moment was Joey Crawford who got suspended last year from the post season because he was bugging out on Tim Duncan and tossed him from a game while Duncan was on the bench. now folks who believe in Conspiracys and also thinking the League has it's interest in certai major market franchises just went more overdrive. believe me I know Basketball fans that stay away from the NBA because they feel the fix is always in and while there is obvious parity there is only slightly more than a Handful of teams who have won titles over the past 25-30 years. now the Lakers thus far look and appear the better team between themselves the Championing Spurs,but when plays like that go down with a no call and you have some folks saying you gotta sell a Foul or fall and flop that shows you just how much acting can go down in a game and how it's hard to tell the difference between real and the other.I'd hate to think we already know how this story is gonna turn out.

baseball needs replay
how many baseball games are gonna be called where a obvious Homerun is Missed? the NFL has instant replay and the NBA checks over certain plays, now granted there are still error but overall they get it right. but Baseball is blowing calls for the Long ball left and right. with all the technilogy of today you would think Baseball would step it's game up. with the build in ball parks, funny time strike zone,etc.... you would think they would have things more tighter. it's one thing if something happens every once a blue moon but now it seems like a every other week type of thing.i enjoy watching the game but I always feel that there is gonna be a bad call that can haunt any team. you need something that balances things out.i say place a extra signal on the outfield area so if a ball hits a particular place then it will signal a homerun,etc.. I mean it doesn't make sense for things that the viewing Public can see and the call is missed.a bad call can cost a team so much. yeah one bad call that could have been prevented might cost a team the whole nine.

this past weekend me and My Wife playing cards
this particular Memorial day weekend my Wife and I played some Uno which is always very competitive. back in the day after I got my wife hooked on making me Kool-Aid we would have uno Battles. it gets real intense and those cards be flying. we play Numbers style which can be a real Mother for ya if you get hit with a bunch of draw two's. then we got into playing checkers which is a Game My Wife claims she didn't know much about but I swear not since the days of one of My Grandmother's has someone jumped me and gotten crowned left and right. then we played 21 or Black Jack and again my wife claimed she never had played the game before but she was drawing low numbers and giving me a serious battle. she has game and I gotta watch her hand because She can play some cards. the Good news is that after either winning or losing we are both good sports about it and then My Wife throws down in the Kitchen and she has a touch with food which she has always had,but I still wonder about those card hands because they are like her Eggs on sunday Morning Sunny Side up and direct hit.

a breath of fresh air
moments where the birds sing
and the rain taps into the trees
as leaves go through change into

remind you of so many faces
that embrace the nature
of freshness
flowers and plants grow
and the day of song
makes the heart and soul
recall that Inner glow
which radiates and shows

doing the thrift store hustle on a holiday
so i happen to live in a city that has a Value Village which specilizes in discount clothing along the lines of good will,etc.... the cool thing is the many items you find. you can find clothes, outdoor items and other hit and miss things. talk about trying to find a good deal? now the downside you have to be there quite early to get the best things on deals. i mean you aren't the only person in town who knows what's up. but talk about getting cool deals. now I always wonder how come they don't do this on the weekend? this is also one of the few times that i happen to have a few extra dollars on me. most of the time when they have tag day half off, I happen to be on Broke Mode. so i actually had this date mentally circled in my mind and the cool thing is too see what is there, also you might see a Old Buddy, these Particular thrift store Holiday sales are a Holiday all onto themselves and not only good deals but cool memorys if you get something you want or even rare.

carnival at the local mall
this weekend is the local carnival and as i pass by i see all the rides and i see all the money that i forgot to bring. wanting to ride and enjoy myself and eat food and while I'm day dreaming i head on home. now mind you i didn't even know it was that time of the year but as a kid i was always there. back in the day the local carnival came right after labor day and i had my money all linned up to spend and buy things. i was always happy to win and even though i didn't think much about what I had won i was just happy to say i had won or ride on a crazy ride,etc... getting hot dogs, drinks, chips,etc... and oh cotton candy was always a blast. running back into the mall after i had won something was like a badge of honor. npw fast forward with the price of gas and other items extra high and the hustle of the vendors and the people that run this fun event i knew I had to enjoy by watching as I looked into my empty wallet but with gifts i had bought that i could truly enjoy.

allow me to vent
never gonna be accused of false remarks
never gonna be said to take the wrong picture
never gonna be said to have done a Soul intentionally wrong
never in the day of light have i turned the lights on
never in the dark of night have I made a room even darker
never went without a meal and never felt pain
never swallowed tears in the rain
never left a tv on and never programmed
never went for a minute too soon
of sleep
and never awoke before i could see the rise
of the Sun as I rest

Indiana Jones returns
well if you are a fan of Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones films then this is your week. this week Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the crystal skull still arrived and it is ripping up the competition at the box office easily. highly anticipated film. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas came back on board. some folks are talking about Ford who is now in his mid 60's much as they did with Sylvestor Stallone who is 60 plus when he did his Rambo Sequel. but Harrison Ford has a lot going for him with this film and he can still play a Super hero. Indiana Jones is a Iconic film. the Hat alone is timeless and the various settings. this film will generate strong money at the box office. I can't say the film is that good per se, but the Hype and who is all in it still strikes a strong cord world-wide. the start of the pre summer box office hype and Hoopla has begun.

in a round
dancing and saying words that come from your mind
in a minute or two what shall come into a sentence?
when will word play be as easy as figuring out a word
in a Scrabble game?
you couldn't place the scene or the time of day
are you a fighter or are you starving for attention
dare you to go the distance
many a soul had a vision but so few
saw what was in the rear view
ask yourself how do you manage
to get thru??

happy memorial day weekend
wanted to wish everybody a happy and safe Holiday weekend. props and thinking about all of our troops past, present and future making things safer for us all. this particular weekend i want to clean up and reflect. also I see neighbors hanging flags from there doors and around there Propertys. I feel it is very important to just think and reflect. I have to plan on what I want to do this weekend. but I will chill and just watch something on tv or just some put things into perspective. long weekends are always a welcome because they meant relaxing and also thinking and doing things that you might not do in certain weeks,etc...

have you ever smelled joy?
what would Joy smell like if it was a Odor?
what would it release to the wind and to the senses?
could it bring a smile to your whole face or only
within your dreams where no one else could imagine?
what miles and great lengths would you dare go
to forever bottle up the scent and freedom it
would bring?
if Joy was Water would you cherish it and
have it forever by your side?
if Joy was a force that only you
could enter would you ever
venture anywhere else?
if Joy was a remote Control
would the channel every change?

Smokey Robinson Aritst of the week
what can I say about One of the mount Rushmore's of Songwriters? this Man not only was a vice President at Motown records but also He was the main Songwriter for many,Many,Many Years there. He wrote with his Group the miracles and for everybody else on the Label. He wrote songs that are considered standards. "My Girl", tears of a clown, Ohh Baby,Baby and countless others. I mean this Man has a ear for Melody and a Pen that never runs out of ink. and the Man's voice still is amazing. I mean His solo career had quite a few tight classic songs including "Crusin", and the trademark slow Jam that became a way of listening to late night radio with the classic slow jam "Quiet Storm". Being with you and so many other jams. He is One of the Greatest Talents ever on the motown family.
season ending tv shows this week
well the strike was over a month and change ago and this week marks the end for many shows and what did it mean again? i mean ratings are still steady for shows that have a strong built in audience. other shows however are effected by the impact. the bottom line is that reality or voting shows are having there way against the regular shows. American Idol did big numbers as did Dancing with the Stars, then tonight Grey's Anatomy is due for a huge blow out until next season. but strange as it sounds I like the fact that the networks took time off because the writing on most of these shows is pretty wack to me on a whole. nowadays the end of a season just doesn't mean the same because of Tivo, replays of the shows, youtube and other things that have made a tv show only something that you can always go back to whenever. the cliffhangers are only for the Soap-operas these days and even them are on delayed tv so nothing is without seeing these days or so it seems.

drought of the moment
when matters and being serious arrive
like a bus that passes you into the day
and all day you land at work by a few minutes late
what site and what manner of facial expression
have you dared to use and say without using
words directly?
money makes you Broke
Money Makes you Rich
saddness makes you Smile
and Saddness Makes you frown
like a sandwich you can be a Hero
and Be a Villian in the next frame

prayers go out to Ted Kennedy
Tedy Kennedy has a Brain tumor it was announced over the weekend. Kennedy is the Sole surviving Son of the FIrst Family of Politics. He is 76 years old now. He has been given less than a Yer by doctors but you never know and just send Prayers to him and His family. the Kennedy legacy extends too all of the current canidates running now. Barrack Obama who has gotten endoresements personally from Ted Kennedy is also friends with Senator Kennedy. He sends out Prayers as has Hilary Clinton and John Mccain. the Impact and Ted Kennedy has meant for so many people has many Warm Wishers and fellow Human Beings who are praying for Ted Kennedy.
props to the Boston Red Sox's Jon Lester
Pitcher Jon Lester threw a No Hitter Monday night which is always impressive,but when you add in the fact that Lester overcame and fought Cancer that really takes Lester to a whole different level. I applaud anyone who overcomes Cancer and when you have a really Young Guy doing this and overcoming the odds it is something else. in fact another Man who beat Cancer and overcame big time obstacles Lance Armstrong personally called Jon Lester and congradulated him on his Accomplishment. now more than every more people are overcoming Cancer and living and dealing with so many things. but it is still a Powerful statement when something like this happens. Lester is Only 24 but he has lived more than lives than most.

the battles of the Dave's on American Idol
well tonight we have Dave Archuleta versus David Cook. something has got to give tonight and who will emerge as the champion this year from Idol? usually Idol is fairly predictable with who folks think and feel who is gonna win,but these two Guys are very closely in who can Win. the judges and the Media have been pushing for this Showdown. Archuleta has the vibe of what you look for in a American Idol. Mickey Mouse club and very accessible and you can hear easily 3-4 hit songs. whereas David Cook is more of a Album Oriented type of Artist and also has the personality to possibly last in the Industry. alot of wagers and Hype will there to greet these two as they battle it out and this has to be Idol's Most Hyped year though for me I ain't felt Idol really since Season 3 or 4. but the Fox Hype machine is in full effect and this Battle is as tight as Hillary and Barrack.

eyes in the Window
stop wait and listen as the world around you roars
wait a Minute the doorbell rings and what comes next
a signature of time and of this moment is needed
open up the blinds and what shall I find?
neighbors walk down the street as if the Birds
took a moment away and went back to there nests
all through the day time through the Night
what am I waiting for and when exactly
is the reaction to what I'm on the Look out
for due to come again?
if my eyes could talk they would say
as the airplane landed I await
and as the Cars on the Highway pass by
i glance and then I'm reminded
that nothing and everything is all
within Eye View

props to the Country Music Awards
that show last night showed how it is suppose to be done. Live Performances and Professionalism with Humor but a down home feel. a balance of paying respects to Older Artists and acts and also embracing the Up and coming acts. the Grammys, BET Awards, Hip-Hop Award Shows and other Pop Shows could take a lesson from what it takes to make a show memorable and also how to justg Perform from start to finish. now I'm not gonna act like Country Music today ain't watered down as other Music across other genres because Country today is as blurred as Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop,etc... today but the Live show and the Professionalism came across loud and clear and so needed. alot of these award shows I watch and only a handful of acts perform live and the ones that do often are better lip synching because they sound loud and Nasty and be hurting my ears. it was cool to see Garth Brooks being honored and other acts as well. the 3 hours of last night didn't feel that long truth be told. Carrie Underwood was good as was Keith Urban. Rebe Mcentire was cool as a Host as well.
Dancing with Stars Showdown
so who is gonna win on Dancing with Stars? you have Skating Champion Kristi Yamaguchi who right now is the front runner on Stars as we speak and she has been doing the thing since day one. then you have Football Player All Pro Jason Taylor who plays Defensive End for the Miami Dolphins and He has been on point through out the Season thus far. then you got Cristian De La Fuente the actor who has been the comeback kid every since he broke his wrist on Stars. He has actually gotten better over time. the show is doing really good this year and the final 3 performers are all top notch and it's anybody's game at this stage. tonight is a biggie and the finale is tommorow night. 3 interesting finalist with each one having a good chance at snagging the Disco Ball which is the trophy on Stars. the dancing ain't no joke because so many technical things and just rehearsing and doing the basics can be very taxing. should be entertaining as usual.

everybody wanna be a Comedian
got a joke at someone else's expense
but then again this tab of drinks
is on the house until your cards
fold and you can't seem to Pay
in the Mirror of odds
where does your laughter
become the legend of tears
and fears??
be anywhere in the world you want
and have anything you dare crave
and work to being Free
because the closed gates
will forever make you a slave
and when words meet
eyes and make contact
no feelings are Saved

Grocery Shopping
with all the Prices going up the straight up stop to a Costco is a must or at least having the fridge packed. the Prices are steady going up sight on seen and also not so seen depending on when you happen to go to buy something. the basics are pricy as we speak and it might make more sense to buy more because there truly is a rise going down. i mean buying in Bulk might be a thing to happen rather sooner than later. if you drive and with the high price of gas and then going to the SuperMarket it all adds up rather quickly than Later. vegetables, Milk, Butter, Eggs,etc... ain't no joke at the register as I speak. always gotta bring a Mind calculator and not so quick to just toss any and everything in the grocery cart as in days gone by. always reaching for a Coupon, somewhere back in the day I recall My Grandmother having the handy coupon clips ready to go and now more than ever it is a must just as a extra check out lane and oh the days of going to the express lane for a occasional pack of gum, candy bar or Pop are a thing of the past. no money to waste now.

when Paint don't match
like a Painful soulful record I feel scratchy and Patchy
when I think of you
i often day dream and allow my mind
to paint pictures that i long to see and feel
wanna believe in Magic and stars
but the reality of clashes and tension
are forth coming like a bad thunder storm
no candle lights and no heart goes untouched
in a world hungry for laughter
the face with tears fill up a room
quicker than a Umbrella or tissue
can cover the obvious tender moments
where do I run when I can't even tie my shoes?
where do I leap when My Knees won't bend
to Jump?

when warm Weather comes unexpected
this particular weekend where I live the weather is pushing 80 degrees and where I live that could mean all of Summer happening right now. I mean we don't get that kind of heat until july or august. it only happens marginally at best. i had to get outside and play some football and just enjoy this weather because it isn't the norm. i'm use to rain or breezy Springs and alot of lite time Summers but this was something that caught me off guard. the thing about warm Weather is that I don't want to eat as much and I'd rather just chill with some music cool drinks and no lights on. i tend to enjoy this time of the year the most and just relax and try to just vibe off the natural feeling of nature. there are so many activitys to get into and the Ice cream truck right about now needs to be hitting me up because it is a warm,warm day and it ain't playing today.

no digging for Gold
many a story is told
fools rush in to capture
the image and movements
sing like christmas bells
chimes and doors are
ringing left and right
never is it ever a perfect night
what makes my pockets full
ain't all about my wallet
but a sense of being free
when a face needs something
then it's natural and it ain't
about a payback!
but a reason to give
for the more you give
the better you shall recieve

now I know Murdoch is out of touch. now granted Myspace is still big time,but even hearing that once 50's deal with Interscope records is over that Rupport Murdoch is gonna offer 50 a huge deal and stock into the News corporation. now the deal says that 50 will be Paid on his music, books, and other ventures. I think Murdoch is banking on 50's past deal with Coke a cola when 50 sold his vitimin Water business into Coke which reportly neted 50 well over a 100 million dollars and maybe more. problem on the artistic side is that 50 has been past his prime a good 3 years and the G Unit acts are dead. the logo and clothing still sells,but 50 is going more toward doing Film. 50 to his credit is a smart Business cat,but Musically speaking unless he has something in the can that he is holding back until he is free to sign, then I see this going Wood. I'm tripping at Murdoch trying be all Hip and He is on a dead wagon on the artist side with 50,but 50 is smart on the business tip. Mergers of a Artist and a Biggger name Brand are a dicy situation especially when you don't get the Act in there Prime and Peak. so much has to work to make it work.i think Murdoch must have seen 50's water drink where his Big hit "In da club" was used and Murdoch had a brainstorm at the 23rd hour but like Cindrella i don't think the shoe is gonna fit when Midnight strikes.
Oscar Pistorius allowed to participate in the Olympics
Double Amputee Athlete Oscar Pistorius has been allowed by the International Assocation of Athletes Federation to join the Beijing games August 8th-24th. Pistorius also is allowed to join the South African Relay team. alot of athletes who have been amputeed have been competiting more into various sports. this is Ground breaking,but it comes with it's critics. some feel that because of the technilogy and high tech forward Progressions that it gives a Athlete extra added on benefits,etc... I applaud anybody who has overcame or lost a Leg,Arm,etc.... it takes real dedication to overcome. Pistourius has gone nearly all of his life without legs. this is big news in the Sports World and is making headlines everywhere but it is a gift to have any of your human functions and should be seen as a Blessing.

in the sunshine
walking on a dreamy beach
not a care in the world and not a cloud in the sky
stars are hours away and the Moon is on vacation
as is my mind as I'm just drifting off into the mood
and dancing into the noon with thoughts of a good time
and not just to escape but to truly be Alive and feel
the rays of time
never too warm, never too dry,never too anything
because all the layers are smiling and are in a joyous
spirit and the opening of the Sun
has finally Arrived

Charles Barkley and 400,000 in debt at the casinos
today news came out that Former NBA SuperStar and One of the Greatest Players Ever and Hall Of Famer Charles Barkley was 400,000 dollars in the hole on the vegas gambling tables. now the Prosecutor is actually talking about filing charges if Barkley doesn't pay it up. what trips me out is that Barkley can pay the bill and that this thing became made public and also who airs out that they have allowed Barkley this amount of credit. what the Vegas folks are saying is that they allowed Barkely 4 seperate times to run up a 100 thousand dollar tab and then bounce. I mean everybody knows Charles Barkley but if the money is that important than you should get it directly instead of allowing this thing to blow up and of course Barkley has to pay the bill and admit he has a problem. I'm a Huge fan of the Chuckster but this is serious and while he can afford the loot it still isn't a good look. i never like to hear about anybody losing on the crap tables and slot machines,etc........ gotta get some help and Vegas needs to be ashamed of itself by pimping his name out like that instead of dealing with him directly. how many people have lost it all on a vegas table and have to pay or something rather than later and didn't have there names put out like that??

My Mirror back to me
looking at the sight i see imagination
i sense so much to counquer within this world
other times I see the Good,Bad,ugly and indifference
the more i tend to reflect on the purpose
the other ways i pick up on the problems
sideways walking and running away
seem more safer than reaching out
for a hug
can I grab my attention back
into this moment and further
invite my mind into the now
and what happens when other
pictures come through this glass
and want to know why this or why that?
what happens when other dust turns up
and not everything can be wiped away clean?

Lebron James told his Mom to Sit down
Lebron James told his Mother to Sit her so and so on down during the game the other night between the cleveland caviliars and Boston celtics. what happen was that Lebron was a on a fast break and celtic forward paul pierce grabbed Lebron and his movement and speed couldn't allow him from holding on to Lebron and right under the basket close to the floor was Lebron's Mother Gloria who shouted at Paul Pierce and then Lebron told his Mother to calm on down. now this was after Mothers day and thank goodness for Lebron or he might have seen a switch or the evil eye. Lebron did say he was sorry but the heat of the moment and putting everything into perspective makes alot of sense. this isn't the first time that a family member got into the mix during live action or from the sidelines. it won't be the last either. seeing the game and the actual seen unfold was a stone cold trip.
Central China EarthQuake
that was quite powerful and scary with what happen in China over the past few days. 15,000 are said to be dead and another almost 26,000 are buried under ground. seeing and hearing people talking about losing there loved ones just truly griped me and made me sad upon seeing it. I saw a Man who said he lost his wife two kids and mother and father and then he got a call saying it was time for work, meanwhile he had tears streaming down his face. the maginuted of the EarthQuake was 7.9. moments like this show that all is not right within our World. Mother Earth is not happy and messages as this are reminders of this. my prayers and Heart go out to all effected by this tragedy and I pray that somehow this part of the World is able to heal and regain something back. anytime a EarthQuake happens or a Natural disaster it impacts us all and is felt by the whole Globe and this one really moved me and made me feel so sad.

Faith in my Water
glory be in the sky
and long live the moments
in time and gather memorys
that capture and reflect
chapters of life that never stop
ending and only have beginings
joy and pain are words that happen
but not always words you need to live
by
as I become thirsty and look
for that moment to cool
the Heat
another Beat taps toward
my feet
and while I might not be the
richest Man in the World
i can Pray and enjoy the Natural
spiritual sides of the drink
that cleanses the Soul
and spirit and eliminates
any negative forces

New Shirt

wearing this shirt as if i won the Lottery
all fashionable as i own the whole store
nothing special that makes me a millionaire
but a dynamite shirt that showcases a Air
of Confidence and I shall glide with a smile
i smell as fresh as a bar of Dial
and I can not Lie
upon having this item
my joy and soul needed this
clothing to make my day

Annika Sorenstam Retires
hard to Believe that Arguably the Greatest Women's Golfer Ever is gonna retire at only age 37. Sorenstam who is the female version of Tiger Woods and the Irony is that they are both real good friends and keep in touch with each other over who just won a Major,etc.. Tiger in fact said he was sad to see her leave,but that he respected her going out on her own and also how Great she has been. Sorenstam said She wants to start a Family and wants to leave now and who knows she might come back. she has Won 72 tournaments and has 10 Majors thus far. it is always hard to see Greatness leave so soon because as fans we feel we are missing something or being robbed of more. but I applaud Annika Sorenstam for Being a All Time Great Champion and she is timeless.
Sunday Baseball and Pink Bats for Breat Cancer
not only was this past Sunday Mother's day but it also was special in acknowledging Breast Cancer. in the Parade magazines over the past few months Robin Roberts who is a reporter and Journalist for ABC and also a sports commentator over the years has breast cancer and together with Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were all holding Pink Baseball Bats. this Past Sunday through out Major League Baseball quite a few teams and Players either were using Pink Bats or wearing a Pink Shirt as part of there uniform. Breast Cancer while more commonly found in Women has also had Men have it as well and it is serious and should be tested. I applaud what Major League Baseball did this Past Sunday and it showed a Human side to the game.
music artist of the week is Frank Sinatra
hard to believe it's been 10 years since Ole Blue eyes aka the Chairman of the board Frank Sinatra died. he truly was one of the cornerstones of American Popular Music to me. a voice and a instrument that touched so many lives. from Swing, Big Band, easy listening and Pop Music in between. He was a man who fought and defended for other people. I mean he was the answer to the question of who inspired the line in the "Godfather" I'll make him an offer that he couldn't refuse. he was part of Rat Pack which include the Great Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and others. Sinatra was the leader and was one of the Coolest/Coldest Cats to ever rock a Microphone and just phrase with such ease. my favorite Sinata works were with Count Basie and Quincy Jones at the sands and also his work with Carlos Jobim which was incredible. Sinatra could hold notes and have a way with just saying words which you always felt everything he was narrating in tone and vibe. a New very best of Collection of Frank Sinatra's best just came out today and it showcases his Legacy and impact as One of the Greatest Artists Ever.

feet by my door
walk slowly and leap toward the door
leave a sound and ring the bell
paper and smiles come by
and i turn around to catch
the rhythm of the knock
look through the peephole
and who do I see coming forth?
the messenger with a Message
has a expression to greet
and i seem eager to intercept
what meaning and feel
will come up in the context
as the shuffle enters toward
my welcome mat
what is the words that
come from my mind based
foot tapping??

Playboy Magazine in my House
yeah Playboy comes into my house and Both myself and My Wife read it and I said Read it. all the chicks and the pictures all look and feel the same. one airbrush,artifical picture and vibe leads to thousands period. I only like reading the interviews,storys and articles and the jokes. and the facts speak for themselves. more Women overall than Men read Playboy. Hugh Hefner is that dude that most other Cats at some point or another have wanted to be like,but i tend to like the Ladies with some Meat on there bones and Hef's chicks ain't eating no Ham Hocks or sweet potatoes. but the magazine is a Icon and the writing is still top tier with me overall. playboy covers a wide range of topics and issues and has always been that way. I mean the coverage on politics and other social issues is something else.
Suge Knight got cold knocked out
i usually avoid topics on people or anything that is close to the tabloids,but this story and pictures that i saw over on TMZ.com was too good to by pass. Suge Knight finally got what was coming to him. after years of bullying on folks and whatnot he messed with the wrong cat and got knocked out cold for 3 minutes. Knight went back to his SUV with Blood all on his jacket which is yellow. the sight of him on his back was a trip. Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre,2Pac tha Dogg Pound and others who were either bullied or threaten by Suge Knight's antics all had to crack a smile or nod in that sight of Suge Knight on his back. Suge Knight along with Dr.Dre ran the label Death Row Records back in the early 90's before his drama became as known as the music and when his own ego messed up Death Row Records which was the happening label of Rap Music back in the early 90's. some say oh how the mighty have fallen but Suge knight fell a long time ago, it's just he didn't see it coming but whoever cold knocked him out woke Him Up to the truth in 2008. OUCH!!!!!! like ET said.

a honor to know you
what can be said about your pressence
what words come to me when I feel your smile
though many a minute we can be in different
mental enviroments, and feel waves on matters
when our systems connect the universe is hold
the joy and poetry of harmony we share is a bond
places and spaces are never left blank
as we each compliment one another's
meaning and sentiments

OJ Mayo got gifts and Benfits at USC and before
thanks to David Stern's harsh and unfair nobody into the NBA until they are 19 you see a talent like OJ Mayo having to go to College for at least one year before he and others can enter the NBA. but now news has come out that Mayo may have gotten gifts, car, and other things over the past 4 years. I still feel that guys playing ball in College should be paid. all the money made off bowl games in football and championship ball in Basketball and Baseball. also the jerseys that are sold off these Kids in college fills up the schools pockets. i mean this has always gone on and always will. if a Kid is only gonna play ball for a school for a year and has Pro Potential then of course they are gonna look to cash in and rightfully so. this shouldn't even be news but because of it being tied to USC and since OJ Mayo signed a deal with a agency and is gonna be a high draft pick in the upcoming draft lottery then it is. apparently a Associate of Mayo gave up the 411 to somebody at ESPN and another source probably. Money always talks and Loose Lips go even quicker when there is Coin to Be made. nothing new and sooner something has got to give. too much at stake and for such a little time.
congradulations to Greg Maddux 350 wins
nowadays a pitcher winning 350 games is a rare feat. Maddux became just the 9nth pitcher ever to accomplish this feat. 17 gold gloves, 4 Cy Young awards and a Championship in his long Great Hall of Fame Career. the Irony of Maddux is that he looks more like a Lawyer and his pitching isn't over powering at all. he has incredible pitching control and he has never been a power pitcher. alot of other pitchers beat you with fastballs and had more Swag,but Greg Maddux beats you with the simple basics which it is all about fundamentals. Maddux is 23 years into his career and the way he pitches he could go on a couple more years easily. Greg Maddux is living Proof that as long as you take care of yourself do the basics and have things fall into place that you can accomplish milestones such as this. the way baseball is nowadays especially for pitchers and the whole pitch count,etc... there aren't too many guys coming along now that will Win 300 games and barely many that are seeing 275 let alone 350. enjoy and respect a true All time Great because that is what Greg Maddux's.

you think you Pretty?
walk around town like you have the world
on a string and all people will sing your song
but as if you are expecting it to be Sunny skys
once the rain hits you in the eye directly
you couldn't have been more Wrong
beauty is beyond the Skin and sight
but just because the wind blows your way
don't mean it's gonna be that way everyday
all the pictures and cameras can't hide
displeasure and emptyness
everything you see ain't
what it appears under the Light

Viatimin Water and V8 juice adding flavor
i see alot of folks drinking Viatimin water and V8 juice and alot of the reasoning is because each drink looks like Kool-aid or something nowadays. the coloring of the drinks and adding a bit more taste is to try to capture a new audience. i almost wanted to try Viatimin water but I just can't bring myself to. forget about V8 Juice because I don't care if the Kool-Aid Man himself had a big ole Pitcher handy I ain't touching it within a ten foot pole. i like my water all natural and it doesn't need anything in it unless it is a bit more sweeter. i see the various flavors and I get my eyes all excited until I got a taste of it and then I had to Moonwalk off of it. thanks but no thanks the way I was about those drinks as a Kid still is the way I feel to this day and I ain't gonna touch them.

as i run
when i go toward the door
what do I see across from view to me?
like birds and dogs running all across the lawn
in the moment til dawn
why must I avoid and ignore
other beings who are just expression
there movement as I tend to do
never take any specie for granted
and dare not to chant or motion
them to leave
but the strange tension captures my mind
and I just took off
and the Animal was about to do the same

Lionel Richie my Music artist of the week
Lionel Richie who to me is One of the Greatest Musical Forces ever is the Artist that I'm grooving to this week. from his days with the Commodores to his Solo Work Lionel Richie is a Artist who has accomplished it all and tapped into so many styles of music and never missing a beat. as a Songwriter He ranks with the best of the Best. as a Vocalist he has a strong woodsy soulful presentation with a strong Pop vibe and his natural Country tone that has touched many a soul all around the World. I have enjoyed seeing him Live in concert as well and he is worth every cent you got. He is a very Versatile Talent and He is still doing his thing. He is Underrated to Me because somewhere along the way being a dedicated Songwriter who happen to be very successful with his craft got taken for granted. I mean Lionel Richie Co Wrote "We are the World" with Michael Jackson which to me is the Mother of all Charity Songs to this day. as Lionel Richie would say OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a Great Artist and worth listening to.
going to the dentist
never is fun. gotta check teeth and watch out for tarter,plaque and other things such as cavities. the price can be so much for crowns and replacing teeth. root canals are so much along with bridge work. back in the day as a kid it was simple to avoid a bad visit and get some candy. sitting that chair and seeing a screen break down all of your teeth one by one.the technilogy can pin point activity within all of your teeth. told to brush, floss and do the basics which sounds easy,but how soon we can slip up and forget. bottom line if you don't take care of your teeth then you end up pulling them out. you might go through feeling pains or strange feeling within your mouth that just leaves you cringing or uncomfortable and why is that? but anyway gotta make that run and take care of the teeth and just stay on top of them or see False teeth down the road.

love to my tummy
food is the best to the eye
and I can't speak never enough
about what a delicous meal can mean
the smells and warmth that drums
from the Kitchen makes me leap
as if I had wings and I can't ever land
and from door to door i can explore
the scent and just embrace the flavors
I can dream of getting full
but i don't dare want to stop
i savior all of the tastes and
variety that comes on the Plate
and I ain't sharing

Barbara Walters tell all
one of the most important people who is known for getting the 411 on other people now is putting out her own tell all book. she admits to being on tha Low with a Married Man who was a Political figure a Senator to be exact. back in the day 30 years back and still in some places to this day some folks are uncomfortable with a White Woman and a Black Man, but back in the day this was really taboo. anyway Barbara Walters is releasing her Memoirs and talking about her childhood,adulthood and her career. she has been one of the most important people to interview folks over the years of all walks of Life. she has had to battle and make her mark as a Journalist and being at the forefront. 20/20 meant alot back in the day. walters is pushing this Book and it will generate alot of Buzz. walters unloads on folks and holds nothing back. she always had a distinctive voice and she kept you entertained and brought alot of Knowledge to whatever subject she was dealing with.
bad call in the Detriot and Orlando basketball game
in the final seconds of the Detriot Pistons and Orlando Magic playoff game in the 3rd quarter Pistons Guard Chauncey Billiups made a 3 pointer that should not have counted. the clock had 4.8 seconds remaining,but TNT had the offical count down running to 5.2 seconds and that particular 3 point shot counted. the Refs said because of the current rules that they couldn't do anything. funny thing is that rules can always be challenged. now that shot didn't cost Orlando the game,but it did effect the final outcome. alot of people tune out Professional Sports as if it was headed toward Professional Wrestling because they feel the fix or conspiracy is on. I mean favoritism does run rampant in all of Sports as with all of life. it doesn't do Orlando any good when they are told that the refs made a mistake. if you have a scorers table and can review something or take the time, then you should get it right. this is the Playoffs and you have to get it right.

would you bet on you?
if the dice was rolled and you knew the stakes
would you bet on you?
even if you knew that things were gonna go
your way and you could take it to the bank
would you be willing to gamble and
risk a sure thing or would you prefer
knowing the unknown and still
play out the picture?
if the Math played in your favor
and there was no Minus, could you
take that step and raise the bar
or would you stay Below Zero
as if you were chilling out at the north Pole?
would you bet on you?

a Missing Ring
upon seeing your finger Bare
I tend to become emotional at times
and now it doesn't change the obvious
but a symbol of something that is a Bond
leaves me feeling empty upon staring into
the blankness
as i use to take for granted that piece
which was a envelope that sealed a unity
with it not in place
though things are well indeed
something is missing from the
visual which while viewing
photos it stood out like a ray of
Light

I tunes Jukebox
I don't usually mess with I tunes except to see what people known and Unknown have on there play-list. but it occured to me that I tunes is the new modern day version of a Jukebox which allows you to pick and put tunes on your space. it's like back in the day when you went to a local restaraunt and sat there for breakfast or something and you flipped through songs and put your coins into the box and played what you wanted. I hardly ever see JukeBox's anymore. My grandfathers each had a Bar and tavern and I always use to get excited about taking coins and playing the machine. well nowadays you can play the Machine in your crib and enjoy the cuts that way.problem with me is that 10-20 cuts ain't even hardly near enough for me and my tastes. I likes way too much music,but I do understand this modern concept.
Congradulations to Kobe Bryant on being MVP
now this award could have easily gone to Chris Paul who makes a strong case as does Lebron James and Kevin Garnett. but Kobe Bryant won the award. He joins Kareem,Magic and Shaq as the other Lakers to Win the Award. Elite company indeed. Kobe Bryant has evolved a bit more from his Me against the world vibe from only a few years back. He is One of the Greatest Players Ever. now I have had my issues with Kobe over the years and I still feel he could have done more at keeping Shaq out in LA when they were dominating during there Championship years, but there is no denying the impact that Kobe has had on the game. He got help with Andrew Bynum the Young center who ironically just last summer Kobe wanted to be traded in the worst way and also the additon of Pau Gasol who helped the Lakers Low Post pressence so much. Kobe seems at peace with himself and it is good to see a Young Gifted Talent doing the right things on the Court and playing Team Ball. no matter what Number or what Name Kobe elects to go by His Game is still the Same and that is Great and at a High Level.

take my picture
what do you see?
what are the expressions that show?
does a picture tell a thousand words
or is there a meaning that the camera may have missed?
and the time of day or night captured my shadow
and how it was starring right back at me
what was the meaning within the meaning then
and now?
over look the facial wording
and then break down what you gather
come back in time and the face
says so much and yet it is still
and peaceful
if only that picture could talk
and I could channel that person
all of these years later
what did you mean
in that Pose and stance
again??

i have celebrated this particular time and Holiday quite a few times over the years. it is always best to have a full festival and celebration of food,music and friends. when I lived in Houston back in the day i always had great gatherings with friends and truly got into the mood and time. every Culture is meant to be cherished and it is always felt by me. i really get into all of the enjoyment and fun that comes with the Holiday. from the days at school to events and at partys i really enjoy the live feeling and feel good vibe that is felt on this weekend and the main day. my favorite Cinco De Mayo party was back 15 years ago and I had such a great time and I didn't want the day to ever end.
Mildred Loving died today Matriarch of Interracial marriage
Mildred Loving the Matriarch of Interracial Marriage passed over the weekend. hard to believe that only 41 years ago it was against the law in Virginia amongest 17 other states in the United States for couple of different races to be Married. but thanks Mildred Loving who was Black and Her Husband Richard who was White and tragically died in a Car accident back in 1975 which injured His Mildred, they forever together made history. they were threaten with facing a year in jail for there union and they had to leave Virginia and they moved to Washington Dc. they wrote a letter to then Attorney General Robert F.Kennedy who lead them to the American Civil Liberties Union. they fought and challenged Virigina's Ban which was a landmark supreme court rulling that allowed people of all backgrounds and races marry whom they wanted to. Lynn Whitfield the actress portrayed Mildred Loving in a film some years ago. every June 12th is the anniversary of this much needed victory by the courts. the Loving's had 3 kids. there last name speaks volumes because at the end of the day it is about Love regardless of your background. i feel Honored by what the Lovings did. My Wife is White and we still get looks and have had to deal with obstacles over the years,but Love is the most important thing at the end of the day and you just have to deal. thanks to the trailblazing of Mildred Loving who didn't seek out to be a hero but just wanted to be with the Man She loved. she represented so much more. RIP to a very Important soul who paved the way for Love.

you need a hug
wanna be a thug and wanna be bad
the tears pour like whip cream over a
pie as inside your soul the rain never stops
but on the outer wall you would rather
play a Hero than take the well deserved fall
many a time you hide behind a mask
and dare not to face the task
at hand
now you want to be the baddest Man
but without a application for understanding
you end up and just ran
are you guilty or are you insane?
stop and trace back your own maddness
but the frustration of finishing well behind
is the reason why you shall never feel the
Sun

the Bus is Late
didn't think that night
everything in the sky was all right
but then the color said other wise
when it was time to blink
the feeling and message sink in
and beyond that,another soul
is forthcoming and you gotta be ready
no running from the scene now
because the description fits you
oh don't sing the song
because this was meant for you two
and a new heartbeat is all ears and eyes
whatcha gonna do?

David Blane holding breath under water for 17 minutes
David Blane is something else indeed if you are a fan of his. He always is making magic and doing the unexpected. the latest episode from Blaine was the other night with holding his breath under water for 17 minutes. I watch whatever David Blane is on tv and it could be a card trick or a side walk movement. about 6-7 years ago Blane was on tv every sunday night on one of the channels I use to watch and he always had a trick or something going on. I've always dug Magicians and through the years I have always watched and enjoyed the latest forms of Magic. we all at some time and point of our lives like the illusion and the unknown. i always wonder what he will do next? He has been on a serious run of events that still draw huge amount of crowds. when he was in the Bubble over in London a few years back that was something else. He is very creative with his tricks and he is willing to sacrifice his own being for the impossible.

through a Dog's eyes
Man's best friend and the protection is felt
and the expression speaks directly
with the obvious no words being spoken
at a glance to understand
and as the ears wiggle and the movement is noticeable
the barking says so much be it good or bad
but never is it indifferent
and those ways of communication
have a hidden meaning
and you have to read between those lines
but then again Human Beings
have eyes that speak through Vision

Spam turning 30
well of all things that turn another year old this ain't one of them that you look the most forward to. 30 years ago on this particular date Gary Thuerk who was working on a Us Goverment Computer sent a Sales Mail to 393 users offering a crazy deal and the then unknown thing some 15 years later called Spam was born. the Irony is that now, Thuerk is working at places that protect against Spam. back in the day i only knew the name Spam from being in a Can and the real Spam in cyber Space is just as awful as that mess that is in a can. Spam ain't never gonna go away and this turkey is the reason for it. I mean of all the things to be remembered for, Spam starting on the Internet ain't something to tip your cap to. i spend at least 10-15 minutes a day deleting all that extra mess in my junk mail and there needs to be something to truly eliminate it.
MicroSoft and Yahoo Partners???
yeah word is that Microsoft is talking about adding some more zeros behind the already offer. we are talking 50 Billion Dollars. now what would that mean in cyber Space for all? what this means is another corperate Merger of two Powerhouse Name Brands merging under one house and what would that mean for services and whatnot? I truly miss the days when everybody had there own brand name and did there own thing. when and why did everything have to become a Monopoly again? and the people who use these services on the daily aren't getting any cut on the deal between the powers. it's all a matter of time. seeing all the numbers and money involved is just mind blowing and shows how powerful modern technilogy truly is and the effect it has had on so many things in such a very short time.
Kentucky Derby
well today is the big day with the Mother of all Horse races going down today and the stakes are always high. now lets be real, Horse racing ain't the game it once was back in the day, but there is something about the Kentucky Derby that brings the Pretenders, Contenders and Dreamers all out. of course the people carrying the winning Horse and the folks that bet on them and Win truly cash in. the Kentucky Derby brings out all kinds of people who are treating the event like the Super Bowl. in a way it is as Important as the Super Bowl for some folks because all the Money and the winning involved. this event still draws big time ratings and also draws huge crowds for viewing and it is a timeless event in America.

ask the corner
what makes you walk and not want to talk
as the night becomes one long stroll of darkness
and your mind is playing the theme of getting by
where does the sidewalk take you next?
pacing as steps and no traces of footprints
leads you to one on coming car and another pair
of eyes and no words are ever exchanged
but obvious meanings and moments
are agreeed as a nod set in stone
and many legs and rhythms have
tapped alongside this very
road and all trails are usually
one and the same
but if this Corner could talk
it would say, find another way
to explore your Journey

Charlie Weis Notre Dame Coach with loaded comments
so found out that Notre Dame Head Coach and Former New England Patriots Offensive Cordinator and Winner of 3 super Bowl rings while with the Patriots, said that Notre Dame could win easily if they had Thugs and Hoodlums. now to me that is very loaded and racist. not saying other Racial Groups of People can't fit into that statement,but by and large in America I know who that was addressed to. the Media likes to Paint young Black Men as Thugs and Hoodlums. now Weis would say he isn't racist and that he was just talking in general,but ask yourself if you watch Music videos and movies who are portrayed more often than not as THugs and Hoodlums? also note to Weis his tenure at Notre Dame in 3 seasons has been very lackluster. the team hasn't won a Bowl game since he has been there. and last year they stunk up the place by not even finishing average. also another thing to Weis, Notre Dame is a Ivy league College which means that THugs and Hoodlums ain't even allowed on the Campus and you gotta have big Bank to go there. it always amazes me when some folks can get away with saying things such as this and then they are are all shocked when they are called out on being obvious with there meaning and then play the role of Who Me??

if toothpaste erased all
as Toothpaste hits my gums
wouldn't it be nice to clean off the bacteria
of the rot of pain and frustration of haters
and words that spread like wildfire
as if it's the gospel truth?
the stroke of a Brush across the negativity
would polish off the mind and bring a sense
of freshness and open up a new slate
better than going back in time
but instead washing out germs of the soul
that live to eat away at the fabric
of the being
how would the surroundings
then inhale if it could all be
brushed away?
imagine having that kind of
power and also imagine having
that tarter and Plaque
forever flossed with the other
trash

i dream in my sleep
a funny moment occured as I was asleep
and nothing made me move my feet
but my mind was off and going as I just lay
solid
i never even made a move,but my brain
had storys and concepts of things
that i didn't even do and yet here I was
directing and staring in a moment
and was there gonna be a finish
or ending in sight?
and what does my character want
to be the Happy ending?

Paula Abdul slipped on American Idol
most of us just think that Paula Abdul been drinking and sipping on more than things than Syrup. them Wigs and them crazy remarks and off focused comments. but Paula Abdul truly sunk the American Idol ship. she slipped up on the fact that the judges watch the stage dress rehearsal which consist of the evenings Live performance. Abdul slipped on Jason Castro's first performance and she slipped up and said that his 2nd performance was lacking when in actuality it was his first. in truth Castro is a Sleepy time Hack who is only happening because of his eyes and his female base fans. He can't sing to save his life. all of his vocals and presentations all sound the exact same. but Paula Abdul let the cat out of the bag that herself, Randy Jackson and Simon cowell already pre-judge the acts for the evening. this year Idol's numbers are down and the bottom line is that though Idol is almost a Decade long, it's Peak and Prime has done come and gone. nothing new and the bottom line is that aside from Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Doughtery and borderline with Fantasia most of Idol's acts have pretty much desappeared the way of Casper the Friendly Ghost. now it appears that Idol is a Fraud. everything is already in the know. i mean it is tv and nothing is ever live. and going by the voting and the way things have gone down on Idol over the past few years it does really seem like a fix is in.
