R.I.P MIchael Jackson The King Of Pop

Friday June 25th will forever be remembered as the day that the world as well as the music landscape changed. Its a day when

everyone in the world will forever remember where he or she was when they received the stunning news about the passing of

music icon Michael Jackson.



This Friday marks the one year anniversary of the king of pop's death.





How many of us true Michael Jackson fans would have ever thought that we would turn on the television one day and hear

about Michael Jackson dead at the age of 50? (if you just raised your hand your a damn lie!) it's Michael Jackson after all

The man who created thriller, the man who's music that people of all ages danced to



no matter how he looked



in which ever era fans remember him from







It is safe to say that there will never ever be another genius, Icon, trend setter, record breaker, humanitarian, ground breaker

as Michael Jackson. Like many of you I'm just disappointed that I will never get the chance to see him perform his craft on the

stage, However I am more mad at the fact that I'll never get the chance to meet him one day and ask him how me managed to

perform this dance number (my favorite of his all).




While gone from the world physically Michael Jackson's spirit will forever live on in the world through music , television as well

as movies. While words can never describe this entertainer and performer I thought I would take the time out to show u the

man at work

R.I.P Mike

Is it Worth the Train ride? And Bike riding in NYC!

Welcome to New York City the city that never sleeps,




its also the city where prices constantly rise and people struggle to survive.

Welcome back readers its that time again when I give you a laugh as well as a message of information wrapped in motivation,

You've read the topic so now its time to start. Is it me or does it seem like the price of NYC public transportation keeps rising?

every time us New Yorkers cut on the new there's talks about a fare hike of some sort there's even been talk about cutting the

school metro cards






However with so much going in involved with these fare hikes, us New Yorkers should be asking our selves a question

"Is it worth Train or Bus ride" and the answer is No!! we are not getting our moneys worth. While I've decided to exclude the bus

from this topic for various reasons I wanted to focus on the NYC trains at hand for reasons that some if not all of us can agree

on.

Does it seem like we are waiting longer and longer for trains to show up?





and then when they do show up you have to get on this crowded ass train



If you said yes to both of these questions then you reader have either gone through or go through the same experiences as

the other million or so New Yorkers. With that said if we can all raise our hand, how many of us have rode the A train either

going towards queens or Harlem?

If you've raised your hand then you know what I'm talking about, they should call this train the life of the train system aka

the Entertainment train. From the kids selling candy not for a basketball team but to keep money in their pockets to the

panhandlers trying to make a quick buck



You can not enjoy a decent train ride even with you Ipod on full blast, but its one thing that really makes riding this train the

most annoying.








While I'm not the type of person to joke about the homeless, However I will say this there are too many on the trains these

Not only can we not sit in a car that they are stretched out sleeping in, but every two stop on this A train



(and I literally mean two stops) there's one right behind each other with a cup in their hand asking for spare change.

So now not only do we have to pay 2.25 for a fare but now we also have to empty out out pockets of spare change to the

homeless also? now ask your self this question reader "Is all of this really worth the train ride?" Really?! .

And just when I thought I seen it all on the NYC trains (not just the A train) there's always something new that wasn't there

before. Have u been in a air conditioned train car and suddenly u smell



That's right I said it cigarettes, just like the title says "I couldn't make this ish up if i tried". My question is who said it was

cool to light up a boogie on the Train?! Really?! So now not only do we have to hear the panhandlers get harassed by the

homeless for our spare changer and occasional church goer''s sermon, but now I we all have to sit on the train like this




All because some idiot forgot rule number ONE!!




now really ask your self this question "Is it really worth the train ride?".


With that said its time to move on to my next topic, riding Bikes has come back in style again!




while I dont have too much of a problem with this trend I will say this to all those people who ride their bikes all around the

city , stay off the the side walks, these guys will give you a ticket in a heart beat.




And what ever you do remember that you are riding in New York "Get the eff out of the way!" City, so while your blowing

through those red light zig zagging in and out of traffic



with your ipod blasting away try to be alert for Cabs, trucks, buses, people and of course fire trucks and ambulances cause if

you don't chances are you'll wind up inside of a ambulance.


With that said I'm done leave me some feed back people, rather u want to be annoymous or not, I'll take it,

til next time, tell a friend to tell a friend!

Aggravation Heat and Facial Tattoos

I'm back!!!! i know its been a while since the last time i wrote a blog, i apologize i been a little busy with work these days and

besides I've been trying to come up with a topic worth talking about, and then it hit me. Mother Nature is bi-polar ladies and

gentlemen! that's right when she's happy we get the heat, when she's mad we get rain and all types of cold weather.

However instead of going on and on about the different weather types we in NYC have been facing I've decided to just focus

on one the long summer of aggravation heat.



For those of you who don't know what Aggravation Heat is (aka nigga heat ;niggas do stupid shit, niggas don't know how to act)

Aggravation heat comes from the result of a very high intensity of heat, its a time when everything becomes aggravation, i

should know because I'm getting aggravated just sitting here writing this blog in my living room as my fan blows out hot air.








Walking to the store becomes aggravating, waiting for the train or the bus in the high intensity of heat is aggravating

people around you become aggravating and my favorite, every one of your sentences end with the phrase

"It's too hot for this shit!".

How ever there are cures for this aggravation heat syndrome, first thing you need to do

( if your like me your going to follow this too) get a damn air conditioner if you don't have one by now





Second thing get in some water or near it! there's no need to be hot and sticky







And last but not least get your self a slushy!!!!




Follow these cures and you won't find your self cursing people , punching people in the face, catching heat strokes.

Now on to my second topic of discussion and this topic has been all over my timeline on the twitter

Facial tattoo.




First of and for most who gave the green light to make getting a tattoo on your face a must have thing, was it this guy?



And if so, in the words of my cousin Taqiy, "who brought this guy to the party?!" lets seriously look at this growing trend

of a issue, all if not some of us has seen a person with a crazy looking tattoo on their face and we've all thought the same thing

or at least had a similar thought when examining this tattoo

"what would make a person get a tattoo on their damn face of all places?"



Now normally i would have some sort of answer to this thought, but with this topic i am just as confused as the rest of you

reading this, well maybe not too confused I've come to the conclusion that you are making some sort of bold statement

with a tattoo on your face, well more like a billboard on your face.







With that how crazy does a person have to be to get tattoos that look like this? (warning this will make your face turn up)







With that said LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON THE PAGE how else will i know if you read the blog? and be sure to check out my

other post if you haven't by now..til next time!

High Prices,3D IMax & Bad Remakes...Your new night at the Movies?!

Another day another issue is what my counselor in college used to say around this time of the year, but thankfully I'm not in

college around this time of the year. So with that said I want to thank each and every one of you for the feed back that you've

given me on my blog post as well as the support that you've shown me, and with that said its time to get down to business!

Movie theaters as we know it are changing dramatically by what seems like the day. So you thinking about going out on a

date or just going out with some friends to check out the newest blockbuster staring (insert name here) be prepared to dig

deep!

After standing on the long lines inside the lobbies that include everything from crying ass babies, teenagers, old people, pan

handlers and occasional drunk people,





you make it to the ticket window and as for two tickets, now depending on the the type of movie that your trying to see

(either Imax or not) your about empty half of your wallet



an

Now its like this if your going to see a regular movie, single ticket your looking at $13.50 and if your on a date your looking

at $27.00 damn dollars now really who they think want to pay that damn much for a movie ticket?! really? but then its gets

worse. lets say you want to see a movie in IMAX, now I haven't been to any IMAX theaters yet just for the simple fact I am not

looking forward to paying 14.50 and in some special cases $16.00 damn dollars for one movie tickets and don't let me get

Started on the price for two IMAX tickets.

So with that said me move onto the the over priced concession stand and I do mean over priced concession stand the

pictures speak for themselves







and this is just the popcorn and the fountain drinks, we haven't even looked at the over priced candy and bottle water.

So I'll say this the smart thing to do in this situation is sneak your snacks in! and why not? it saves you extra money

and the time and hassle of dealing with long lines.

So Now we move on to my next topic of discussion, IMAX and 3D movie



While this may sound like a good edition to the newest way to watch a movie along with the invention to the Bluray

(whoever invented that needs a Nobel peace prize A.S.A.P) Why does everything have to be in 3D? seriously!




What am I gonna get blood on my face from the movie prop? is Shrek gonna jump out at me? really?!





And why does the volume have to be so damn loud? can you imagine if this IMAX thing was around, when

movies such as Die Hard, Lethal weapon, Terminators and the Matrix's were out in theaters? Do you have any idea how def

and hearing impaired some of us would be by now? Not only do we get to leave the theater with severe migraine headaches

but we also get to leave with loss of hearing also (your thinking it, I'm just saying it).

And now to my final topic of discussion, some body should really tell Hollywood that they are about to destroy classic movies

from the 80's as we know it, take these two movies for example








We all know the plot, we all know the characters we've seen all of the sequels (some were good some were bad) and we all

well maybe some of us own the entire collection on DVD. So why does Hollywood Keep trying to trash classic movies like

these? Just makes no sense for good movies to be remade into trash! that's right I said it TRASH! (your thinking it I'm saying it!)

So with that said somebody tell these people to STOP IT!!!! go trash up movies that we really don't care about like Free Willy.....

Oh wait they are remaking Free Willy! smh BlackBerry straight Face

Part 2 Mohawks,Skinny saggin jeans, ACG & Polo boots

Its rare that i get inspired to write as much as I've been doing lately, let me start off by saying thanks to every one for the

feed back that you gave me on part 1, and now its time for part 2 just as i promised that I would.

Like I've been saying before the 80's are trying to make a come back with a vengeance! its the year 2010 and the world is

seeing various signs of things that occurred in the 80s making a reoccurring role in today's society, the different style of music

videos (check Rhianna rude boy video to any 80s pop video) to TV shows being turned into movies (see the A team movie)

we've recently been seeing fashion as I've been mentioned in part 1 being brought back, most recently the Mohawk.



This trend is sweeping the world every where these days, you've seen this on guys as well as girls, regular people



as well as celebrities.








While I'm not the type of person to bash people about their choice of fashion I will say this, when I was younger if you sat in

a barber chair and told him you wanted a Mohawk you were snapped on and laughed out of the chair and the shop

and to walk around in the street with this insane hair cut was just society suicide.

(in other words people laughed and pointed finger at you everywhere you went)


But I will say this, with all the fashions that we've seen come and go so far when are they bringing back

The shearling coats, flatops and Gumpy hair styles? ( do any of you young kids know about this?)











And with that said its time to move on to my next topic of discussion. In what was dubbed the worse trend of the 90s and is

still be used by today's youth, ladies and gentlemen the pants sagging trend.




While I'll admit as a youth and away from my moms I would sag my pants

( i made sure to pull them shits up before i got home) just to fit in with my classmates at the time, but then something

happened I grew up early and realized that i hated pulling up my damn pants every 2 damn minutes! from that point on I made

sure that I didn't leave the house with out a belt on, which brings me to todays youth, pull ya damn pants up young man!

we don't wanna see your boxers and in some cases nasty ass!!

If you've never been witness to this trend then obviously you've been living under a rock for god knows how long? here's a

little chart of this whole pants sagging trend.



From the sagging trend a offspring was born in what may be the secound or third (depending on how you rate it) worse trend

of America, known as the tight jean era aka Skinny jeans.



I think this trend might have started with the rock stars who some how inspired future rappers (insert name here) who in

turn inspired todays youth, now I dont know about about some of you but as a person of a certain age I like my pants to

fit on my ass right, not tight, not baggie but just right! besides as a guy I walk around with too much in my pockets to wear

skinny jeans (keys, wallet, phone...).

Not only has this trend become a must wear fashion in todays society

(i dont think any man of a certain age should be following this by the way) but it has some how linked back with its

predecessor of the past the saggin pants trend, so as it stands in todays society

Skinny Jeans + sagging = this



I can go on forever on what's wrong with this picture but I can't so I'll simply say it like this, I'll be glad when this trend is

DONE!

Now with that said its time to move on to my last topic of discussion ACG and Polo boots







I'll admit I am not a fan of either of these thing, not only do they both cost too damn much

(unless u can afford them and pay your phone bill in the same month) but they are simply just ugly! plain and simple as that

these thing look like hiking boots! but yet people of different ages are wearing them and I just won't ....unless im going

hiking in the woods..lol

With that said leave ya comments on the page dont be a stranger!

Til next time
