(Picture) *salute* to this person who is CLEARLY at work passing time on the blog..
I actually do this for folks just like you...among other things. Great way to pass time. @ looking at past events. Enjoy your stay. Don't be a stranger now..ya hear?
Hello...If you are HERE because you got the link from the OG Nitty show...
A few things:
1. FIRST OFF...Thank you OG Nitty. 'Preciate the look. Period. Here is the link to his show...
2. This is my blog. So that means I put what I want. As opinionated as I am, I am just as FUN LOVING. The topics vary. Matter of fact, there is a nice little write up here that sums up what I am trying to say. So let me just GET TO THAT RIGHT NOW...
I think this covers the whole 'ITS JUST A BUNCH OF WOMEN HERE..I AM SO DISGUSTED WHEN HE GETS SERIOUS/I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY ON THE REAL STUFF BECAUSE OF THE PICTURES/POPULAR POSTS BULLSHIT....
3. Thank you for coming...
So if you heard my rather 'passionate' radio spot about 15 minutes ago on 'People out there not willing to learn..." and are expecting me to be singing 'We Shall Overcome' all over....naw...But some of that is here. It is all of the person that makes up me.
I'd go up to the Search box and type in Grown Folks Talk if you ABSOLUTELY must find out what all the 'fuss is about' @ what Nitty said...

On opinions: Just an excerpt of a pice that was sent to me by 'Good Cop'...
If you don't know who 'good cop' is and you follow me on Twitter, PAY ATTENTION. Half of the Black OddCouple. Inkonegro.
I am sure this comes off as rather 'odd' for a person who PUTS HIS OPINIONS ON FULL DISPLAY from time to time. I think I can do it though because....well...like I said...IT IS FROM TIME TO TIME. So I am not talking about those that do that...It is the 'overdoers' I am alluding to here...@ me posting this.

When it comes to opinions, we're all living in an intellectual Costco, where it's volume, volume, volume.
It wasn't that long ago that opinions were something carefully considered and weighed, so that they'd stand the test of time and reflect well on the author. Thinkers were like gourmet chefs laboring over an elaborate meal they wanted to be perfect. But today, opinions are Big Macs -- thrown together hastily, served by the billions and not very good for you.
You probably don't want to have as many opinions as you have. But everyone around you has them. There's cable news, of course. Glenn Beck has plenty of opinions. So does Keith Olbermann (late of MSNBC and soon of Current TV).
When you sell opinions for money, the way Keith and Glenn do, it doesn't take you long to catch on that the more opinions you have, the more money you make. So, like radish farmers who grow more radishes in order to get rich, Keith and Glenn create dozens of new opinions per night.
But here's the problem: They're not very smart opinions. And they're forcing everyone around them, including you, to also have far too many opinions. We post them on Facebook; we tweet them; we express them in comments on Huffington Post or Town Hall. We've become junior-grade cable goons -- but paid much less.
We get angry too, just like Keith and Glenn. What's the point in having an opinion if it's not an angry opinion? If something upsets us -- like a member of Congress and a bunch of innocent bystanders being shot in Tucson -- we don't mourn, we fulminate. We assign blame. Or we deflect blame -- angrily.
It's hard to find the good guys when one side is self-righteously accusing the other side of lacking civility as if that were any more likely to spark violence than movies or video games, and the response is, weirdly, to defend a lack of civility as if it's a good thing.
Opinion inflation has invaded every aspect of our lives. It causes us to post our opinions about our dry cleaner on Yelp. Did you used to have an opinion about your dry cleaner, or was he just sort of there, like a shrub or a parking meter?

an educated and deeply spiritual person. A recent blog by him...Follow him at one of the many places listed below..This should dispel any notion that underneath that uniform there lies a quiet humble dude....

Hey, everyone. This afternoon I took time to share a small thought on twitter, and was happy to have it start some discussion with fans who are following me. If you saw the tweet, you may have noticed others talking about some private messages I was sending to clarify what I had originally sent.
I’m not an argumentative person, and twitter would be the LAST place where I would want to publicly give the impression that I was debating people. So, I thought I’d take time to write a post (something a little longer than 140 characters) that would let anyone see the direct message perspective I enjoyed sharing with the folks on twitter who were talking back to me.
From my theological study, and I certainly don’t know everything about the koine Greek, the abbreviations XΣ, XP, and XC were ancient symbols that the early church used to represent the word “Christ” and not “X.” In all ancient icons, nowhere is Christ symbolized by “X” alone. Nowhere in the Greek language or Church history is the letter “X” a symbol or representative of Christ. In English, of course, it stands for unknown.
I know this is something that has been debated for years, and both perspectives can quote their own wikipedia articles. The main opinion I want to emphasize (which is hard to do in 140 characters) is our need to recognize the origin of the Christmas season. I think most people can appreciate the importance of preventing materialism from replacing the observance of a ritual that is important to so many people’s faith.
So forgive me as I continue to figure out the best way to use twitter. I know it’s not going to be a place where I fight or debate. I don’t mind it being a place where I can connect with more people.
Thanks for interacting with me.
You folks are great!

Someone (more than one person actually) asked me for Mizz DR gifs.....
Okay, I found some. Now if you don't give props, like I am getting ready to do for the person who made them, I won't put them up here anymore. That is how it works.
Shoutout to http://redlightsextion.blogspot.com/for providing the gifs. Good stuff. Good site too btw.
Go here to get the gifs of the stills you see up there..
See how easy that was? Hope you can do the same if you happen to use this as your avy somewhere in the Internet World.
Stop pushing people in the back then & work on your footwork Dwight! @ being fined for blog comment.
He was fined 35K for this little tidbit. I will say I think the fine was excessive but the comments were pretty close to being silly. Only 'cause we already know you feel that way Dwight. The frustration is CLEAR ON YOUR FACE when they make the calls.

Mz. Berry's open letter to Ray J.
Interesting. I know a lot of people will clown her for even having feelings about the man. Yeah, it is easy to see targets out of those glass houses, I know. Bombs away folks.
As a member (and a person's whose blog has been cited in see: Sanaa Lathan twitpics) Global Grind, I will backlink you to the original post...HERE.
Dear Ray,
I know that you and I are clear on where we are along this journey together, but I get a lot of questions about us…especially after that reunion show fiasco…and thought it wise to openly express my thoughts and feelings – for clarity’s sake, for honesty’s sake, for peace’s sake.
It is true that we are in different places on so many levels. Yet, there is so much acceptance, understanding, and compassion between us. We share an unshakeable respect for each other’s position along this path of life. For me, it’s because I’ve been where you are. For you, it’s because it’s a place you’re on your way to.
I came on the show for the experience, and left with a sense of freedom I’ve never felt before…the freedom to love with the innocence of a child – against all odds. It was like a crash course in love! The funny thing about reality tv is that the life you lead while on set becomes your “reality”, and once filming ends, reality sets in. For us, that reality is that you love me for what I represent now, and I love you for who you’re destined to be. The blessing for me, though, is that I left there reassured of what I want to create for my true reality!
It goes without saying that growth is a part of life. What is more rarely addressed is the difficulty and challenges that may accompany that growth. It seems to me that whenever you find yourself on the precipice of change, right there in the bottom of the ninth, you’re thrown a curve ball…and it’s usually the same ball we’ve played with for a while, the one we’re comfortable with, the one that feels familiar…and it is very hard to resist hitting it…even if we know its likely we’ll strike out. There’s not a lot in your life and current lifestyle that would push you to change and grow. I get that. But there is something in your spirit that’s calling out to and longing for change. I stand here as a symbol of what that change may look like…once you’re truly ready.
In the meantime, let’s continue to celebrate who we are to each other in this moment.
With….Love…Peace…and Positive Energy (LPPE)

(Nods head to all of you who are probably not used to seeing
...the site like this.) For those of you who are like 'What the hell is he talking about NOW?', I pulled the feed that sends blog posts to Facebook.
If you came over from Facebook, again my apologies for having to pull the feed there. I was debating doing so for awhile now. This will work out better though if you just come STRAIGHT here to begin with. I must tell you though, many of my posts were actually not 'pulled' straight to Facebook for a majority of reasons. Two of which were content and at my own personal barometer of what I wanted to show up in my timeline. I say that to say that the site is 'balls out'. I don't hold back here so some things you missed you are gonna see. Whether you decide to keep come visiting is your decision, not mine. If you decide to stay, welcome! If you do not, thanks for coming and see you when I see you.

Two ways (three) to look at this. Kanye's Blog Picture..
One could take the 'he is disrespecting her' approach things. You know the whole 'If he cared about her he wouldn't 'let' the World see her like that....' or the whole 'He is pimpin' her out take.
Then there is my way of looking at it. Thanks 'Ye. She is grown. You are grown. It isn't my business other than to enjoy it for what it is. Not my business why. The end. (At least for me.)

Correction. Changed the blog now....
It is here to stay so I hope you like the look. The old look was really nice (hell, I wouldn't have picked it if it was not) but it was time for a change. Wanted to spread things out a bit. Don't worry, I will still be making posts about BBs and stuff. I just think this be a whole lot easier to read and fit things on.
Let me know what you think..Yes, I said let me know what you think IN SPITE of saying it is here to stay...lol....Sue me.
