Thanks Dad…

Big up to all the fathers to our styles.

One of m y co-workers heard from another co-worker that I made videos on the YouTubes. On sight unseen I was asked to make a video that would be given to the people from America’s Most Wanted in the hopes that my co-workers missing father might be found and the case re-opened.

I doubt any municipality will be concerned with finding an elderly Black man, dead or alive, but maybe the interconnected networks might be interested. I dedicate this video to all of our fathers, here and passed on. Fathers complete us just as mothers nourish us. I hope you all have a happy Father’s Day.

From 24-7 To 7-11…

Relax Internets, I will NOT be doing any type of running programme. I just liked the picture that appeared when I Google Image’d ‘Poland Spring’.

I’ve returned to shopping at 7-11. Mainly because no one else is open at 2am in Freeport. There is an all-night arabic bodega open in Roosevelt but why do I have to drive to another neighborhood just to feel like a human being?

I didn’t buy a Slurpee or any drinks laden with sugar or corn syrup on this run. I’m back on that water kick for the summer. I’m looking to excommunicate all beverages with sugar in them, except prA’li alcohol. And even then it will just be vodka and club soda.

The summer is the time to put up or shut up if you are going to get back to looking like you did in your glory days. The internets is not ready to see me in that light. Truth be told, neither am I.

Happy Juneteenth Internets…

Can you imagine the news of negroidian emancipation being broadcast via the internets?

There would never have been a Juneteenth celebration.

Black people TWitter would have blown its mind.

All Day I Dream About Sic (Semper Tyrannus)…

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

The Virginia state motto is the latin phrase ‘Sic Semper Tyrannus’ which is translated to mean ‘Death To Tyrants’. Peep that deep blue background. Last summer adidas released a pack of Rod Lavers with all of the colors contained in the commonwealth’s flag.

This summer I’m going to try and change that old marketing slogan which said ‘Virginia Is For Lovers’ into Virginia Is For Lavers. Highlighted by the classic Rod Laver adidas with the royal blue sole to match the state flag colors.

I’ll let y’all know as soon as I have the t-shirts printed.

No One Can Do It Better…

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

The Dallas Mavs ‘chip had me reminisce on my favorite Metroplex mic controller. Dr.Dre’s protégé The D.O.C. was rhyming harder and more precise than any midwest rapper I had heard up to that point. If not for a car accident in which his vocal chords were damaged we might be holding The D.O.C. up in the G.O.A.T. pantheon.

One thing was for certain and that is the undeniable classic which is his debut album ‘No One Can Do It Better’.
