Bluntly Puts: Fuck Fake People

FUCK FAKE PEOPLE. by Felecia Coleman.

Fuck fake people.

Yeah.

Fuck em.

Everyone is fake now a days
No one is themselves
People would rather stack up seventeen magazines on book shelves
Than to look and find their own style because they’re afraid that they’ll fail
And that’s sad
Because you’ll never get anything accomplished if you’re afraid of getting it wrong
So this is me sayin fuck all fake people
And just a warning, this list is long

So fuck you.

Fuck all you afro centric nigga’s who want to call every black woman you see a “Nubian princess”
Where nothing turbans with Dreds and light nothing but insents
Whole time you the main one sayin “was sup nigga!” to everyone you meet
Knowing that hurt your “Nubian” great grandmother who was a slave so deep

Deep.

Fuck all you bitches who want to be all deep and go to poetry slams
Knowing damn well you wont understand
But comment and wave your hand and say shit like “wow man that moved me”
Just because you thought it looked cool in a fucking Love Jones movie

Movie.

Fuck all yall nigga’s who want to rock vintage T’s and only watch independent movies.
When your face book top 3 movies are Don’t be a Menace, Friday, and Blue Streak.

Fuck all you hoochies who all of a sudden want to be classy
Like you can put a dress on a hoe and it’ll slide right past me..

Pass me.

Fuck all you nigga’s who just pass me. When I hung out with you last week
And we on the same got damned street
And u aint even gonna speak.

Speak.

Fuck all yall nigga’s who all yall want to do is speak.
And give speeches.
About how the government is sucking us for all our money like leaches
Yall who carry around big ol’ books like Da’Vinci Code
But in the end
The name on the book is really just irrelevant
You just need something to carry around so you can look more intelligent

Fuck all you teachers who don’t realize yall in charge of young minds and don’t give a fuck what you teach
And fuck all yall preachers who do wrong but next Sunday be quick to tell people to “practice what you preach”

People are confused and think new and improved is always better than the original version
So you flood your mind with image consultants but you drown in the immersion.

Immersion.
Ralph Emerson said that imitation is suicide
And from where I reside
Its starting to seem like I’m the only one that’s still alive.

And I know I’m rambling on
And I warned you that this list was long
But I just have to say fuck all fake people
And I would put this in a song
But its already been done
And I don’t really care to be anything after number one
I’m sorry, I'm sorry if I don’t find being fake and saying I’m the first much fun.

So
fuck yall
Because I aint trying to live in a world filled with robots, manikins and clones.

Where anything and everything in uniform goes
Where we all wear the same clothes
And strike the same pose
Because if we all are in the shadow of everyone else then no one truly glows.

So all I’m saying is if yall really tryna grow and get out your robot steal
We cant steel everyone else style because one idea aint always ideal
And if we all try and be different and we all aiming for surreal
Then soon
Everyone is going to turn into nothing but unreal people

People.

Man, fuck all fake people.
And that’s MY, not someone I heard on the radio, not somethig i saw on Tyra, not something I read in a seventeen magazine, but MY.
that’s MY final appeal.
So to all yall who trying to smash that ongoing continuous copy cat wheel
I got two words for you

Be and Real.

Not trill
But real.

Noddy Photo Shoot

Noddy is a HOT producer out of DMV...

This is his EXTRA hot bangin' photo shoot..courtesy of New Lifee 101!!

The Mind Of Lyriciss

Hello, world. Ain't that what everybody's been saying since Wayne dropped the "Show Me What U Got" freestyle a year ago? Blah @ that. Anyway, I've been blessed to enough to do a guest blog on the New Lifee situational thingy-thing-thing. So first off, my name is Lyriciss, aka Lyriciss Flowz, aka The Voice Of The Metro aka The Hope aka Too Many aka's Will Make You Look Effin' Wack. I am a young hip-hop artist out of the DMV...DC metro area...DC, Maryland, and Virginia...the Middle East...however you want to say that, that's where I'm from. If you can't tell, my mind is a rambling one. That being said, I tried to think of a concept for the blog, then I figured, "well...if the blog is MY blog...it should be a rambling one that relates to me." That being said, I just read HipHopDX (Amanda Bassa, what up?), and they had their "WTFs" and all of that. So I'm going to steal that concept and ramble about 10 things that make me say "WTF". Cool? Cool. Bong.

1.) WTF at the multicolored skinny jeans. Well , on men. That goes for deep V-necks too, especially if you got more chest hair than Chuck Norris.

2.) WTF @ Gucci Mane. Rhymes, gold teeth, black skin x white lips, all of it. Just WTF.

3.) WTF @ my daughter getting her diaper changed and filling it back up in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

4.) WTF @ this new Soulja Boy and Bow Wow song. And as usual in his career, Bow Wow is on the short end of this stick (pause, no homo, or whatever these young bammas are saying nowadays). How so? Soulja Boy is expected to make a song like that. Bow Wow, while expected to be wack...that was a new low for even him.

5.) WTF @ these police checkpoints in the city. Holocaust '08?

6.) WTF @ Bill O' Reilly. Dude...give it up. No one cares about your opinion. Aren't you the same pervert that sexually harasses female coworkers AND you're married? How the hell are you going to give criticism on sexual lyrics in hip-hop?

7.) WTF @ Fox News Channel. Fuck them. Nothing more to say on that.

8.) WTF @ Jesse Jackson. You're the black Bill O' Reilly. Fuck out of here and go back to chasing loose women, you false prophet.

9.) WTF @ sheepskin condoms. Never used them, but just the idea of it. Who sat down and said "yeah, sheepskin is proper material for a penis. Sure, it doesnt protect you from STDs and has a lower consistency on preventing pregnancy than conventional latex condoms, but hey, if you ever want a higher-risk condom, here it is!"

10.) WTF @ the terms "hipster rap" and "backpack rap". Damn, rappers can't just be fresh and be lyrically dope too? Bammas have to be straight A college students on honor roll to spit a little positivity? We're lost out here, joe.

...and that's the conclusion. Wanted something more monumental? Sorry...AA batteries not included. Anyway, if you want to catch more of my blogging, hit my personal blog. Want to check out the music? Hit my MySpace. And hopefully, I'll be dropping in on the New Lifee 101 blog much more often.

Peace & Hip-Hop

All for That Lady, My Momma .

Yo! uhmm, I guess im introducing myself for right now .
Hi! BlogWorld im Jasmine Mary [formally] but most just
call me Grandma, of course its alittle weird to call a girl
thats not your Gma, Gma but you'll get use to it . Lmao !

MyNewLifee

Something to Put On the Brain...

I've watched my Mother and she inspires me like no other Woman .
I could say Beyonce and the whole nine but for some reason this woman
has gone through the worst of all time and still looks back at life with a smile
like nothings wrong .
Raising 3 kids, is work !
Me, My Brother Jason (7), and My Sister Jordin (3) .
My brother and my sisters Fathers are not around .
Jason's Father is a Crack fiend
and Jordin's Father doesnt care .
Then there is my Father...the only one thats really supporting me .
sometimes i say to myself "Im i somehow living a better life because i have a Father figure ?"
I dont know.
Well, anyways this poem
is my way of speaking for my brother .
to inform my Mother that when she gets older
we are going to give her what she never had .
And also for the boys with just a Mother .





Momma never told me more then twice
See my Momma would tell me all the time...
"You deserve all the things in the world!"
Like Black Diamonds and Pearls?Imma Rule the World!
Dont get ahead of yourself because things dont come easy
I want you to take your time
Your success will come like fine wine.
That One talk turned my life into a Journey to find out who i really was
and what i can become in this rapidly changing society.
No longer being a boy...But becoming what my Mother needed in the House
which was a man.
You know she never got anything out of life.
She use to say life took what i wanted from me
I was too lost to know that it was gone..
I dont want to be nor do i need negativity
I am a man...
a full grown man...
A Revolutionary & Visionary
I will not back down from any opportunity
because no one is bigger then i can handle.
I promised my Mother
Black Diamonds and Pearls
Because the ones that are Lost
need to know how it feels
to be ruling the World!

-To my twin brother Dolce.and my Younger brother Jason D. Bailey
and of course my new men of this year.

Comment, Thnk you :)

a legend

So I had the ultimate pleasure of seeing The Dark Knight last night. This has got to be by far one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my life. I am not a big movie person, and it really takes alot for me to consider a movie to be great. The movie right here seriously pushes the envelope. In my opinion, the crown goes to Heath Ledger as The Joker. There have been many talks about his role as The Joker, it's safe to say he murdered it. Ledger could do this role around Jack Nicholson for decades. This man locked himself in his hotel room for a month to get this role right. The eerieness, the psychopathity (if that's a word), the laughter, the darkness, mixed with comedy. I honestly started to get scared of the character myself as the movie progressed. Ledger caught every nook and cranny of the lifestyle of The Joker, and beefed it up to a rough and tough psychopath that seemed to be a total new character. My whole outlook on The Joker changed from an annoying nuisance, to one of the scariest villains the super-hero world could ever deal with. The whole time it seemed like this is how he actually lived. R.I.P to his soul, but just know that he left this world with a bang. I urge you to see this movie if you haven't, I am already planning on the next 3 times I am going to go see it.

New Lifee 101...Chapter..New Book: Love & Basketball by: Liz J

Usher: Lifetime

"Some only call it a life for a season and stay around to give you a reason and to put in your every thing to think its forever…but you’ve given me someone that I can believe it I know there will be times we can’t come to an agreement but I know that we’ll figure out the ups and downs. Tell me are you willing to take a chance? Baby if so… Here we go, let me put you in my hand, come on I wanna be your man Lets do it right, so that you’ll be with me a lifetime..."

Your like, perfection.

Irony is sceptical..., its more like, the destiny neither of us give truth to but, admit, its presence appear strong and powerful

...Elijah.....I want to let you know that, everything that happens between the two of us is as REAL as REALity gets. I feel like, there is something that's, holding you back...something that doesn't want you to give into me..
I'm so different from you, but...we are exactly the same. I want you to..let go, just give into the Lifee I have to offer you......

My intentions are to do nothing but Love you. To offer you a New Lifee that you can access the secrets of the world through. I want to open your hands and sit the universe in them, our universe, my world, and let you rotate it until you feel comfortable with its rhythm, because it matches the rhythm of what gives you Lifee, of what allows you to breath, and live, and ...Love...me....

If a Lifetime is all the time I have to spend with you, I feel like Lifee is robbing me...but to me Time is irrelevant and as long as we are together Time is limitless and Lifee is continuous...

Your motivation is my fuel, so without you I wont be able to keep going...and I can't quit anytime soon, I have to offer you the world first...and since the world is constantly creating and constantly producing and constantly progressing and constantly giving, ...

...we have no choice but to keep going, for
as long as "ever" will give us..

I love you because your so vulnerable but your still a man, so your pride gets the best of you...TRUST me, I don't want to take advantage of anything except for what you have to offer me....Insight, Love, New Lifee....You offer me HOPE Elijah, you offer me comfort....I BELIEVE in a future with you....I believe in YOU..

I am you....

I love to see you cry....it makes you beautiful...your beautiful to me...your a mirror image of my soul, and listening to you understanding you is like past due meditation for me...You complete me in every sense of the word...I've saved you from your environment and... in return I ask that you never give up.,. Your a triangle..Your a leader......well, lead our New Lifee in the right direction....Baby you have no where to go but up, to reach the peak of your existence, and I feel so...lucky...to be a side of your triangle....Like, you help to complete my circle, and you help me to continue to rotate and evolve.

Walking out of my Lifee would be like, walking away from yourself, and I think you have more to offer then you've been giving. Not just to me, and the world, but to yourself... Your Elijah.....Your the other E end of my New Lifee, not to say that my Lifee is ending, because you've proved that New Lifee is constantly creating, constantly evolving, constantly producing.....Your the reason why my Lifee will continue...

Thank you for Trusting me Elijah, I promise you, I have already grasped the world in my palms and i'm ready to release it into yours. I am here for you...I am HERE for you....Destiny?....Destiny exists because you give it meaning.

I love you Elijah. Your the E that ends and begins my New Lifee....Your my purpose, and I appreciate you. I believe in you. Your going to make me very proud....more proud then I already am...Your the perfect addition to my Lifee ... my future...

your my shooting STAR

"reach for the stars, so if you fall you land on the clouds"---Kanye West

I now pronounce you.....

---Elizabeth J

I AM.

a product of my environment.new pair of eyes to the blind.new set of ears to the deaf.a helping hand to the amputated.a voice box for the muted.a cuss word for the censored.the truth to every lie.the cataract in Satan's eye.a life that you never thought you could live.the world's most unusual.

I AM.

joshua[slick]

or slick for short

My name is Joshua Wood, slick to some (hence the joshua[slick]). I'm up on deck with New Lifee 101 introducing to you.....a New Lifee. What is a New Lifee? What are you going to seek? What are your motives to seek what ever it is? Will you love or hate? Will you be rich or poor? Will you be happy or sad? Honestly, the world is in need of a New Lifee and we live in this world. With all seriousness 99.9% of us need a New Lifee, a shift in focus. With that said, the answers to the previous questions shouldn't be hard to find. Challenging every lobe that rest is your pulsating brain is what I love to do. Don't feel threatened feel enlightened, because I bring facts, not personal fiction. Don't be scared to throw apples at Isaac Newton, feel free to smile. I'm no police, I just like to live freely along with the rest of my friends. I enjoy blogging my own thoughts:www.juhstys.blogspot.com, that's where a little more of me will be found. I'm happy to team up with Liz in this movement, I'm trying to set this world on fire (metaphorically). About me, I love GOD with all of my heart, he comes before any and every move I make. I love girls, video games, shoes, MUSIC is my savious, peace, snapples, summer, I am a gemini, i like to draw even though I'm not good at it, and I like to ring people door bells and run. I am still a kid at heart, trust and believe I may never grow up. Which is half the reason why you all will love me. c.h.u.c.h.

BluntlyPuts: TITTS AND DICKS ON PICS

TITTS AND DICKS ON PICS. by Felecia Coleman.

So I’m getting dressed on another regular school day filled with detention, nurse visits, and horny teenagers when I heard the most irregular shit on the radio. On the Cain show (99.5), I turn my radio up to make sure what I thought was said was actually said and yes. IT WAS.

"Studies are showing that parents should get used to nude picture messaging as apart of teen dating."

My initial reaction was disbelief but after a while it turned into total agreement. After all, we do live in a world where actual talent is the first way in the entertainment business and a sex tape is the 2nd. Even though occasionally, sex tapes substitute for cocaine as a fallen TV star from the 90's, heirs, or all-around-nobody's way of getting back in the business. ex: Kim Kardashian, Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, and not to mention SCREECH POWERS.

But I mean seriously, "apart of teen dating"? So the list goes... kissing, flirting, touching, holding hands, and OH YEAH MINOR PORNOGRAPHY. I mean it just doesn’t make sense even though the reality is greater than ever. Ladies, how stupid can you be? do u honestly not believe that your picture’s going to get shown and every single guy in the locker-room/ Spanish class/ football field is going to get a personal peep show of your plump-ones? That pic is so going to get passed around like weed and yes everyone's going to get a hit.

And guys, you may be packin, you may be lackin, who am I to judge? But either way, I know for a fact that girls look at every detail in that picture you send AND COMMENT to their friends. Whether it be "OMG! HAHAHA look at the 1990 windows computer in the background" or "OMG YUCK HIS PUBES ARE SO FUCKING CURLY! HAHAHA!".

And honestly, I mean I guess you sending me a pic of u grasping your mandigo is "sexy", but it gets old quick. and I swear ta god, if I get one more dick pic I’m going to go gay. JK but I will go APESHIT.

Quite frankly, I fear for our futures. really, I do. If nude photo's are the newest most coolest thing as teenagers, I wonder what’s going to be all the rave when we're 18? 21? even 30? We should all be scared... nail biting.. teeth clinching… shakin like a stripper or something this could potentially be serious. This is becoming an EPIDEMIC.

Readers, girls these days are RUTHLESS. I’m talking OD on OC (overdosed on outa control). I mean, teens, can we keep our privates in our pants for 2 seconds?

I hate to blame the music but maybe it really does have an effect on us...DMV, trust me I know we're all gogo heads but do we really have to live our lives through the lyrics "can you take a picture for my camera phone.... she's a camera phone freak yeah" or even "she's a freak and I love it baby" or even "she's a freak if she wanna roll with me?" is this where we get our encouraging and inspiring words?

Well how about these for inspirational words: GUYS give us a break. some girls are pressured by the question "how about you send me something in return babyyyyyyyyy" and please if your going to do it, at least clean up your room a little. GALS don’t get used.
After all, your body is a temple....
Not a public toilet :)

-bluntly put. Felecia Coleman


WORD ON THE STREET
Q: From both experience and the “word on the street”, I know that sometimes nude pictures can get crazy. (as if pornography isn’t out there enough, right!) So the question for this week is WHATS THE CRAZIEST PIC YOU’VE EVER GOTTEN? Here’s the word on the street.




“So im dating this guy and I soon find out that his brother likes me too. Even though im not interested at all. So one random ass night at one in the morning his bro sends me this picture of him like seriously on the hard and im just like “WTF! Why would you send me all this crap!?” I found it INSULTING.” -xxSheCuss2Muchxx

Dear xxSheCuss2Much,
I understand your way of taking it as insulting. Its does say a lot about you as a woman. But on the other hand, if the bro is “abundant”, I say you go smack at him. And your boyfriend. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.. One HARD stone that is! Lmao. Just kidding of course!- Felecia Coleman



“The craziest dick pic I got was funny. The guy actually had a bandaid on it!!! Lmao!” -aLittleLessLethal :)

Dear aLittleLessLethal,
Wow! I can only image how that even happened… -Felecia Coleman



“Craziest pic? The boy was sooo skinny. Like IN EVERY ASPECT. I laughed lol and then I just changed the subject to him like I never even got the picture” -$$TotalPackage:Ass,Men,Money$$

Dear $$TotalPackage:Ass,Men,Money$$,
Smart move. Aw he must have been so offended…well.. We know who got the “short end of the stick” if you know what I mean. haha. -Felecia Coleman



“Okay, so I got these pictures and like she looks like a good little girl but she’s nasty. So she sent me all these nude pics and I’ve never actually seen like a real white girls tits and ass except on tv (lol) but she sent em to me and I thought it was soooo funny because there was no ass in her thong and she was perfectly shaved. It was just hilarious to me… That had to be the most craziest picture.. and her little messy ponytail haha! It was just a mess.” -RobyourGirl

Dear RobyourGirl,
That is soo tough. It sounds like “a mess” lol. Uhm.. How about next time (if u must receive/send/ask for), you send requirements like **NO MESSY PONYTAILS**. Lol at least inform… lol. -Felecia Coleman



“Well it was me and my friend at the movies and this random guy just comes and sits between us and whips it out. It was sooo random! Then he takes my phone.. And takes a picture of it RIGHT THEN AND THERE! It was soo outrageous! !”-JazzMenTurnMeOn

Dear JazzMenTurnMeOn,
Omg seriously? Like.. that’s OD on OC ridiculous. Guys these days are getting bolder! I mean did he expect u to save it as your screensaver or something. I mean sheesh!! That’s by far THE CRAZIEST I’ve heard in a good while. Like omg, you’re in a certain thing called PUBLIC. And no one wants to see your PUBICS in PUBLIC, okayyyyyyy! lol - Felecia Coleman



“Hmmm. Craziest.. Well, this girl actually put cups on her boobs! Swear!”- ^^Dare Elevator^^

Dear ^^Dare Elevator^^,
Lmao! Omg! Well.. Uhm… I guess she wanted you to “serve her up”! -Felecia Coleman


-stay blunt-

Stop The Violence!!!

First off

Shout out to my brovas at Team Major

TJ, Moe, and Jordan, Adam

My niggas since the swingset

It's currently July 14, 2008 12:20 a.m.

Approx. 2 hours and 46 minutes since the party at Ibiza

I had, i guess, a substantial amount of fun

Aside from the bitch ass security guards

Tons of stankin' ass people trying to cut in front of me

And my damp/trodden-on Appetite's

It was one kick ass party!

I'm truly proud to see my brovas growing up

Okay, it was a Team Major party. Shit you can assume: 1. Long ass line. 2. Fakin' ass females. 3. My man getting me in free (shout-out to Bankhead) 4. And the usual suspects (Yayo + Cloud 9, Tay, Nate, etc from Uptown, J Kidd and 1-8 Zone) actin' a damn fool! Love all y'all! Well yeah. Like I said, aside from the rain, security, and lack of female-to-male interaction...oh and the 7 min. Boosie performance; party was wayyyy on point! Team Swagg, Top Notch, all the hood stars did their thing respectively. And Big John was ji on point, so the musical selection wasn't anything to complain about. So ummm...I guess this is where I express my grievance. Ahhh yes. The fight.

As myself, and a couple other people made our way towards the Wendy's, i had my mind on a...idk i was just hungry as shit lol. So, after ordering my #2 with a medium coke, we proceeded to our seats. One of our friends was kind of in a rush to beat everyone coming from the club, but it seemed like only seconds later when I could only make out silhouettes of people racing past the window. Like, four, five females. No offense but sometimes girls are so weird I didn't think too much of it. Nobody did, until "whispers" (you know how that goes) of a fight could be heard from out table. So we're looking at each other like, oh surprise, another fight right? Until...the dudes involved came into the Wendy's. Let me stop right here. Because as we speak, the details and everything are unraveling...so I'm gonna do everyone a favor and shut up about everything.

Well, i could go on and say stop the violence, ban together, listen to "We Are The World", etc. But sadly, that shit won't help. I mean, the people that know me, know that I don't care about little disagreements or beefs. And it might be cliche', but if all 'hoods, crews, gangs could keep the peace, I wouldn't want anything more. I understand that some of y'all are too deep in it. And that this way may be the only way. And if I could I would sit down with everybody and just talk. Like forreal. Talking about like, the Rwanda genocide, women and children that don't have rights in the Middle-East, it wouldn't matter. Most of y'all could give a fuck about it. And honestly, sometimes so could I. But when you look at shit like that. You realize that things could be way worse. I'm done for now pimp. Stop the violence. Please.

NaS...Pressure Busts Pipes

This song Hero, it makes me remember why NaS is my favorite rapper of all time. NaS knows who he is. He is always spitting true shit,real shit, Lifee as it appears to the people, to the common man, nothing surreal or to "fabolous"....





This song is crazy as well....BLACK PRESIDENT, the Obama sample, NaS....he does what he wants.... and i love it....he never seems to lose sense of who he is! Nasir Jones.....Jones...

How come this album is no longer called Nigger?


http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6963

Hip Hop News
Nas: "Everybody is trying to stop the title," Nas stated. "Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what that title will be?"
Apparently, the phrase "pressure busts pipes" has finally reared its head and the controversial title has finally been changed.

I think NaS is very consistant with his music. He keep up with the times, he seems very vocal in politics and the economy and the highlights and low points in his own community. NaS is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest rapper of all time......

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones

You can't keep up with the Joneses!!

Liz Jones

Africa

So this is pic had been taken when we got back to Goree island which is probably the area's favorite and most famous tourist attraction. One of the most frequently visited sites is the Maison des Esclaves (Slave House), a poignant reminder of Goreé's role as the center of West African slave trade. Built by the Dutch in 1776, the slave house has been preserved in its original state.

Fuck The Police!

Ok, before I start my rant on our beloved figures of authority

let me say that I totally realize that there are the very good few of you

that actually attempt to do well on the job

the others, well...

FUCK YOU

So, the story starts on the evening of July 4, 2008, at about 9:45 p.m. As the itis (lol) began to set-in from my Jack Daniel's Steak Strip & Shrimp ($14.95 pretty good) from Friday's twenty minutes ago, myself along with a few other friends, made our way to the Foggy Bottom station. Being only a couple hundred feet away from the station, I could already make out a sea of what seemed to be thousands of fuckin' people! Since this wasn't the first time everyone decided to be a "regular person" for a holiday, i knew this could either end up: very bad, or...very bad. At times, even locals can tend to behave like fuckin' tourists on days like this. So, after about 5 good minutes of manuvering thru the crowd and witnessing a series of obese people almost bustin' their asses, i finally found myself at the farecard machines. Smartrip in hand, I was ready to board that good ol' Blue Line (Mixtape at a URL near you this Fall), and get to B's house in a timely manner. Surprisingly, wow, it wasn't that easy.

As soon as the rent-a-cop-ass security guard mugged on B (at my disapproval of course), i realized that any authority figure to approach us wrong would be susceptable to my aggression. *Side Note: if you don't know me, i can turn really pissy off of people doing the dumbest shit*. Which was about to happen. Me being the anti-social nigga i was at the moment, I had my headphones on, watching B twirl that fuckin' umbrella for the umpteenth time (lol i love you son!). I SAW THE TRAIN COMING! I SAW IT! I don't care if it wasn't ours, but this fuckin' slut-ass-bitch-ass-fake-ass-fugly-ass idk what the fuck he was, let's call him a security guard. Well, he goes out of his way to first: 1. Yell in my ear about stepping back (i guess he didn't like how i took my time because) 2. This bitch prodded me!, didn't even touch, poke, graze, rub; no, prodded me like a fucking cow or something, and then caught an attitude. It was bad enough he confronted me the way he did, but touching me period is a fucking no-no.

He got an attitude once again when I told him not to touch me. "What?". "Don't touch me you heard what I said." I got a lot of complaints so stay tuned. But yeah, ummm, he threatened to get me put out? Some other shit, etc etc. In actuality, I know nothing could be done to me, even by the real police. So, being me, I maintained my cool. I mean, I say all this shit to say (with my aforementioned umm i guess disclaimer in mind), FUCK THE POLICE. I do have a couple people in my family on the force, but they do their fuckin' jobs. They don't dick people every chance they get. I am fully aware that the purpose of cops are to have more authority than the average person, and this is SUPPOSED to HELP people. But it's evident that, a 30-year-old security guards or a cop who was a victim of childhood abuse of some sort feels it's necessary to overexert their power and take out their frustrations on people like me. No matter how many Constitutional Law classes I've taken, or how many times I'll be "in the right" in the near future. Those bitchass ho-ass dirty PIGS ALWAYS WIN. Once again, I respect and even look up to those who do the right things with their power, but for those who don't, once again. FUCK YOU. I def have a lot more to say, but ummm, I'm sure ur tired of reading. Sooooo until next time. =)

Go Skate Day!! Freedom Plaza

Go Skate Day in Washington, DC

Location, Freedom Plaza...

Yo Go skate day this year was crazy! This was the first year I can a skate team there, Grind Lifee Skate, so for me it was even cooler!!!

When you could hear all the wheels carrying drained skaters from half way across DC to Freedom Plaza, you knew you were about to be engulfed by over 200 skaters from all over the DMV area, followed by a handful of skimpy model girls passing out redbulls.

A few skaters stood out, landing kickflips up stairs, 4'11 kids hitting kickflips off a 5ft ledge (total exaggeration,lls), and ppl doing manuals for 2 yards.

Massai, 17

This dude hit boneless after boneless over a trashcan until he knew I had a shot I could blog about....

Wall.e rated G?

So I saw the movie wall.e with my little brother and sister today and I must say it was very good. The colors and images were good to entrance the children but the message was actually to the parents. The idea of the and base of the movie is a very complex one which is about capitalism, corrupt government, and reliance on artificial intelligence. It was also very depressing (but arent all disney movies ie. Nemo). In this movie, this company called Buy-n-Large Basically monopolized the whole world and there was so much waste, humans werent able to live on earth. They left these little robots to consolidate the waste but they all broke execept one wall.e. He develops a personality falls in love with a special pod-bot that was sent to see if there was sustainable life on earth. Wall.e gives her a plant he found, she's picked up by the big ship, they fall in love and its a race back to earth. But the corrupt government programs the ship to never return to earth so it because a fight between man and machine. Great movie. You should go see it. But beware.. the future in this movie is eerily realistic. very I am Legend like. Enjoy... yoyolove.

Dont buy in, u SELL OUTS!

So.....I was listening to a super old Gym Class Heroes cd the other day(back when they were still hungry), and it was this line Travis said that really stuck out to me. He said, "Fuck mass apeal, art is art!". Short and simple, right? Now I'm sure you're thinking.......why are you listening to gym class heroes?LOL.I like their music, so what! Anyway, when I heard what he said, I mean really heard it, wit my brain and not my ears..............it really stuck to me.

Which brings me to todays point.......*And Please Excuse Me, But It Must Be Sed.......DONT BUY IN, YOU FUCKIN SELL OUTS!Ahhhhhhh(sigh of relief). Im sorry, well.......no im not. With mass apeal the way it is now, art isn't even art anymore. It's infecting everybody. Writing, Music, Visual Art, Theatre, Fashion, etc. Wake up people!

Todays homework is go listen to some music, or look at some art, or read a Fuckin book.........but whatever you doin, do it because you like it and it iterests YOU!Peace~ Seace A.K.A. the one and only geek sneaker-freak
