Will I Go Crazy Today?

Can I go Vegan?

2010-12-30T14:24:00.000-08:00

On Monday, Jan 3rd, the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart goes down! Where will you be? I was out today doing some initial shopping and perusing cookbooks for potential recipes. Its going to be hard; its going to be brutal; its going to be vegan! I know its possible to do it, but I'm thinking if I make it through, I may enjoy the benefits of "eating clean". How do you go back after that? Some of the

Can a brutha get GPS?

2010-12-19T05:53:00.000-08:00

I haven't been on my grind lately. Sorry. My bad. But, in my defense, some of the shit "was", work related. I've just been too tired. If I would have hired me, I would have fired me by now, but don't trip, knowing me, I would've gotten that job back too. Tsk, c'mon! Its been too much to cover, we've had some "going homes", as we like to say down South, and my better half, lost her

Hip Hop: A Love Eternal Part I

2010-03-19T05:45:00.001-07:00

Its easy to remember where you were when you heard your first memorable hip hop song. I was in Germany when Sugar Hill Gang hit the scene. It was great! The first time I knew hip hop was the air I would breath forever: College: Public Enemy, "My Uzi weighs A Ton," whew! Over the years, we have fallen in and out of Love, hip hop and I, partly because of the direction she has beeen forced to take.

President Obama: Making it cool to be American

2009-11-17T05:19:00.001-08:00

But the comical sight, which saw the President bend almost double, will no doubt earn him nods of approval in Japan, where a low bow is a sign of great respect and deference. I've heard the fallout about this image, the President paying respect to the Japanese Emperor. But, is it warrented? In my opinion, no. The arrogance of Americans is quite astounding. I've traveled extensively around

Wass realy good?

2009-11-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

Today, in a word, was "funky". It was one of those where you don't want to be bothered, or around people, just blah. But I had to really step back and ask myself, 'Self do you really want to be this way today?' I must admit it was better once I looked at it from the outside, I mean, what guarantee do I have that tomorrow I'll be around to make up for my asshole-ish behavior today, feel me?A

Just checking in.

2008-12-03T01:45:00.000-08:00

Hey, what up world? I've go to thank every [one] of you who stops by. Apparently I've got a small reader ship, which I really 'preciate, but comments now and then would be helpful. If not YOU could be considered a "lurker". It's not me, it's the world that gave you that label. Anyway, leave a note, jot down a comment, but at least let me know you were here.Only four three more days until takeoff

When you've got it bad...

2008-11-27T10:17:00.001-08:00

A happy Thanksgiving. I'm spending mine in Germany, in a hotel room--with takeout. As you can see from the snapshot, takeout is not like stateside. One, the language barrier is a b*tch and two, even when you get an English menu, a springroll is NOT a springroll. Those two big mother-effers are not what I'm used to getting at the local chinese spot.When you go to Thang Long Imbiss, the

Thanksgiving

2008-11-25T23:17:00.001-08:00

I have no Thanksgiving wishes; I am still in Germany and waiting to get back the the good ol' U-S-of-A. But, I wish all my fam and friends happiness on Turkey Day. If you get bored, play Ras Kass, Nature of the Threat, those lyrics will go really well with your dinner--guaranteed. On another note, time is running out and I am glad to almost be done with my time abroad. It's been hectic, at

Saying goodbye

2008-11-23T05:36:00.000-08:00

Today was all goodbyes and tears at the airport. The fam left. I caught the underground and the train back to my little German town. With the iPod on random, this is how the tracks broke down:Fussing and Fighting-Bob MarleyThe Way I Am-Oscar LopezSummer Love-George BensonLost and Found-Spyro GyraLovely Day-Bill WithersWell Alright-BabyfaceNo Streets-MarvelDry Your Eyes-Paul TaylorGroove Me-King

I'm sick...

2008-11-12T23:08:00.001-08:00

For two weeks I avoided getting the cold that everyone had; for two weeks I was 'the man.' Then, my throat started to hurt, then the sniffles and now full blown bedlam! I'm trying to fight it, but it's hard getting medication in Germany. I should be mad. I believe my Doctor jinxed me. He wanted to give me the nasty flu shot before I left the country, but I said no, I just don't trust it. So

The Red Pill

2008-11-11T19:02:00.000-08:00

Five days after the presidential election, I am still feeling the after effects of the pill I swallowed. Along with other fanatically happy ‘Americans,’ I still weep for my country. I know there are those that are still doubtful of our president-elect, and the doubters will always be there, but let’s be fair; George Bush was given a full term to make drastic mistakes, and already, the right is

It is not just my dream that, out of this election, something good for the country will happen. From my position in Germany, it is discussed by people from every corner of the World. I do however, find it troubling that already, some are saying, that if Barack Obama is elected President, we will have problems. In case they have not noticed, we ARE having problems. A note, perhaps these same

Well so much for trying to post everyday. I tried. Word. The hotel is expensive on the rates for the hookup; some would say "busted." For the past two days I have been trying to adjust to the time change, hasn't been too hard, I stayed up the first day--mad long--and its been all good since then. Last night at the pub I fell into a conversation, or should I say I jumped in, when a guy asked

Leg 4 (the Middle finger version)Yo after the break, you can never believe what happened. So, the flight was canceled' no word form the counter, just mad commotion from the crowd. Then after the update from the service counter, its off to the "Transfers" counter. Forty-five-minutes later, I have an additional 3-hour-layover to make the later flight. I've been up twenty hours, and we are not happy

When we landed, everyone had the same look of surprise, it was that smooth; we didn't even realize we were on the ground. Wow!?Now I am waiting at my gate for the last flight of this never ending day. I hope ya'll feel me on this, there is something that should

As one of the most culturally diverse cities on the planet, it was evident to me as I made my way thorough the airport.Tell you what, the fam, is due to follow in my footsteps in a few weeks, and I guarantee, it will be loads of fun. I almost

Not only is it close enough to make it convenient, we don't have to wrestle with the Boston traffic, I love it!Air Canada is a new experience, I hope it lives up to what I expect. I have a long layover in Toronto, when I say long, I mean like, five-hours-long. So, I

Lazy Sunday

2008-07-27T14:18:00.000-07:00

Sundays are the best! Not because its the end of the weekend and work is right around the corner, but because you don't have to do anything at all, just relax, and be lazy. I guess that's why I appreciate La Reina the most; if left to my own devices, I would not venture out to some of the more obscure places that I have.So for her sake, today we all went to Buttonwood Farm to see the sunflowers

I guess I was a bit naieve, because I thought it would be a group effort, but no, I was to be responsible for a few little ones, plus my little ninja. Aptly named for her past skills of creeping in the bedroom unannounced. Anyholla, it was good trip. i tried to

Are you, dear lurker, happy paying almost $4 or $5 per gallon, depending on where you reside?

A few weeks ago Kelly Tilghman, a commentator form the Golf Channel, made distrubing comments about how to beat Tiger Woods in fair competition. I, as a fan was appalled. Not from the comments, but from the fallout and total disregard for the remarks and how they were portrayed and received.PGA

I even went so far as to give her the address to my poorly written blog to check out. Yeah, I know, why right?

Will he be selected as the overall number one pick?Many speculate that his size and talent will garner that. But, there are those who challenge his intellectual ability to lead an NFL team

Damn, where you been?

Up early, out of Dulles on the 6 am to Beantown baby. You know what it is, Boston. You smell that? It's the chowdah son!! I am back.It is great to be back in New England. Not that I have anything against V-Ayyyy, but c'mon, it's Boston baby. The bus ride to the terminal was, in a word, crazy. It was packed. I was one of two brothers on the bus. And when my counterpart in the struggle hops on, him

Last night while channel surfing, Supersize She was on the TLC Channel. It follows the struggle of Joanna Thomas, pictured here, as she strives to win the Ms. Olympia competition. First, I was kind of like, whoa. Shorty is mad huge, that's the obvious, but on another level it hooked me because she has basically committed her entire existence to this ONE goal.Everyday is workouts, massages and

I got a letter from the Government the other day/ I opened and read it/ It said they were suckahs........Oops, wrong track. I got a call from a friend of mine two days ago and quite frankly it was strange. Not because of the friend calling me, but the way the call ended, rather abruptly. So, I fired off an email to see what was up with her and if everything was cool.She fired back, that indeed

A simple trip to Borders.........

2007-03-17T14:48:00.000-07:00

So today, Saturday, I had planned to not really venture out, but just hang at the spot, right? Well, I decided to go to Borders to pick up the book I blogged about earlier. So, once I get to Borders, I hit up the station, type in my search request and unfortunately for me, they don't have it. What did I expect right? Instead, I call La Reina to ask about this Puerto Rican cookbook by Daisy

Wow, not matter how hard I try, I can't believe it. Every morning, I break out to work about the same time. Radio station WK##, is like clock work, they always put on "Make it Rain," by Fat Joe. Same time, all the time. You have to love the play list. But---always a but, knaamean. The remix is on blast right now, Featuring Lil' Wayne, T.I., RickRoss, and that pissy-negro, R. Kelly. Is it

See that's that bullshit. So, my dumb ass, decides, to

2007-03-05T09:48:00.000-08:00

Somebody remind me again how is it that R. Kelly is not in jail. I just heard the remix song that he's on with Lil' Wayne and Fat Joe,"Make it rain," bull$hit aside, the beat has always been hot, but how is this pedophile still making music? Man if that was your average dude he would have been guarding his corn hole months ago. Look at me, this, is my oh $hit face...... HOW IS THIS A$$HOLE STILL

Yesterday was, in a word, terrible. My transportation was down and in the shop for service. And, as I stated in the past post, since I am new to this area, I have no mechanic; at least not one I know and trust. So, that meant I had to take it to the dealer’s service department. Yeah, I know what you’re saying. Prepare to be screwed. Like Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction, over a barrel!!

Now we have a winner......

2007-02-06T04:52:00.000-08:00

It's been some time since my last post, four-months I think. However today is monumental. Not because it's Black History month or the fact that I am not in jail. Today is monumental because La Reina, the Yin to my Yang; the tails to my heads; the Hip- to my uncontrollable Hop; has decided she knows what she wants to be when she grows up. [and the crowd goes wild]See it has been an uphill battle.

When I first came down here, to the websphere that is, I had no idea what direction if any this blog would take. It was my way of dealing with the day-to-day bull$hit that I encounter and create a vehicle, through which I could vent. According to my colored mother [her word, not mine] everyone has an input no matter how bright or stupid. Maybe I fall into the latter category or perhaps the

2006-08-18T04:45:00.000-07:00

The PGA Championship has started and the media has quickly jumped on the Tiger, Phil Mickleson pairing. The inevitable attemps at creating drama are just that, attempts. Okay, I play Golf, therefore, I watch Golf, but only when Tiger is in the field. No offense to those who like, Nicklaus, Palmer, Davis Love III or Phil Mickleson. I like the fact that a "calibalasian," is winning. And

It started very innocently, I used to watch the Sopranos on Sunday nights, and for a while that was okay. But, then I would find myself in the store coping the DVD's of seasons past, wathing them in their entirety on the weekends. My boys would call, "let's hit the club," they'd say. "Can't" I

I think you know the ones I am referring to, the "can borrow your shit ones?" They never have what THEY need, so they want to borrow your shit.

So, in respect of that simple yet accomplished fact, my friends, myself, and some cold, cold beverages got down this weekend. And, of course it was Memorial weekend so that meant mad many bar-b-ques to attend. The

It has been sometime since I last posted here. So, I decided to change the page a little to give it a brighter feel, not so dark and menacing. Of course there has been enough material, but I have been way too busy to post about things.

Now teenage sex is being blamed on the media,keep in mind that the same children the article refers to have parents. Are they not on the job? It seems to me that there is a great deal of money being wasted on bull$h!t like this instead of "major" problems. I think if we start to blame britney-britney for the

So, it's almost time for The DaVinci Code to hit theaters. And, I wondered what all the hype was about the book, so I read it. Cover to cover; plot to plot; page by page. It really starts the mind to thinkCould it all be possible? I mean, really, why is the church in an uproar if the book is a work of fiction. On some levels they may actually be validating points made in it. Now, with that

The only difference is, if that happens, Kobe would have them benched, traded, fired, or skullf**ked. In the land of the LA Kobes, it must have been good to see such an arrogant display of outright "ballhoggery." Before you say a word I know "ballhoggery," is not a real word, but

The back tires spun left; I turned the wheel into the skid. The tail whipped back right; I turned right. The car fought like a lassoed bronco wanting to run wild again, the call of the plains beating in its ears. I am dead for sure I thought as I saw the rock wall approaching from the left of the vehicle. Time slowed. No, it stopped. Nothing moved except my chest as I drew in deep pulls of air.

Alphabet Martini's aka A Great way to meet Friends

So, last night was the 'company' Christmas Party, and I know everyone has or will have one. But, this was my first with this company and I have to say it was fun as hell. My lady and I were in attendance and had the bright idea to drink Martini's by alphabet. I don't know if you've every tried this shit, but it was great. It would help if you had an idea what the hell you wanted to drink, but
