my sickness

So the poem I made a few days ago about the flu I had I found out was just a battle of my War On Sickness. I went to the doctor and found out that I have bronchitis, which would explain my painful coughing for the past two days.
I was given some antibiotics to help me get rid of my bronchitis, and some "lean" for my cough. The cough syrup honestly taste great, but will put your ass to sleep in as soon as 30 minutes. Thanks to the syrup, I'm finally getting back some of the sleep I've lost. Tuesday - Friday I got a total of like 16 hours of sleep, whereas the average person would get about 22-24 hours in that span.
I just took some syrup so imma pass out soon. Word of advice to everyone: if you can go see a doctor, don't be stubborn like I was and try to beat it with over the counter drugs.

"The Flu"

To the sickness I loathe, can't stand, and despise
That has kept me from sleeping, for three of these nights
That has made my muscles ache
Almost in tears
I haven't felt this sick from you
In so many years
I can't stop coughing, sneezing, or fussing
I just keep on taking pills, cough drops, and some cussing.
I feel like you're on your exit
But you don't wanna leave
So imma keep taking these meds
Until you get the hell away from me.
My nose won't stop running
As I continue to sneeze
Hoping that every blown nose
Is the last blow for what just won't leave...

Sneak(er) Peak

Oowee look at what I stumbled upon. There are two players whose signature line of shoes get a lot of love and respect in Seattle, Ken Griffey Jr. & Gary Payton. Their shoes were not only stylish, great performance shoes, but were a representation of Seattle...at least to us.
Got these bad boys at Goodwill for $7!! They need a little work, not much but they're in okay shape. I plan on getting em right for Spring time. Yeeeeah!!

Sneak(er) Peak

Today's kicks are some classic red Vans. You can't be from the Left Coast and not have owned a pair of these or Chuck T's. Gotta stay with the black sock, otherwise you'll look like Michael Jackson when you sit down.

10 Jokes About Kanye's Pants

As most of you saw, last night Kanye came out during Rihanna's halftime performance of the NBA All-Star game to perform "All Of The Lights" off of his album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Now the song is awesome, one of my favorites on the album...Kanye's pants on the other hand not so much.

10. My sister's prom dress was made of that same material


9. Kanye's pants double as aluminum foil, perfect to cover your Thanksgiving turkey while it's cooking in the oven.


8. I bet you the Crips gave Kanye a pass on this outfit. "Nah homie, you've beat yourself up enough with that outfit."


7. If you were to put Kanye's pants into the microwave it'd start a fire due to his pants sparking


6. I know when you pull jeans right out of the dryer the zipper is burning hot...are Kanye's ENTIRE pants burning hot when pulled out of the dryer?


5. The correct color of Kanye's pants is "Little Richard Red"


4. Amber Rose just lost more popularity points due to Kanye wearing those pants. "Damn girl you were f'ckin with HIM??"


3. "MJ gone/ our n*gga dead"...well you sure have kept his bed sheets alive by wearing them Kanye


2. Stevie Wonder said your pants were making his eyes hurt


1. As soon as Kanye jumped on stage, I felt the fillings in my teeth start to hurt like when you chew on aluminum foil.

Your girlfriend's friend: What it's like

Okay I've decided to talk about something that I'm sure a lot of men go through but never talk about. I, myself have gone through this so many times that it's almost second nature for me to handle it the way that I always do, but not every guy in my situation may know how to.

I've heard from so many men "man my girl doesn't like it that I have any female friends" and I can understand that, and that's because women are bitches. Yeah I said it, women are bitches; mean, evil, cut your throat in your sleep evil creatures. It's not their fault, they just understand that what they have is a good thing and it's in their nature to protect what they have by any means, and when another woman is trying to take what is theirs they will kill that woman in cold blood at the very thought of that. Fellas how many times have you heard, "it's not that I don't trust you, I just don't trust her"? Well that explains their mentality (even though it sounds like BS to us men).

Here's a scenario that most of you don't really hear about, or at least men you don't really hear about. Think about the times your girl has had a homeboy that you necessarily weren't too sure about, you think he's actually up to something. The problem only gets worse when she tells you that there's nothing going on between them, and that she actually considers him one of her closes friends.
Now I myself have been on the side of the man, with my ex whose closest friend was a guy whom she's known since high school. I paid some attention to it but after meeting him I stopped worrying about it.
I have also been on the "her friend" side of things which I currently am on now and well IT'S WACK.

Fellas no matter what you say to some of these men to convince them that you're not going after their lady, no matter how many times you see him, no matter what she says, if he's insecure about himself you'll only be adding fuel to the fire. I have done nothing but try to be nice, decent, and polite more so for my homegirl but it has done nothing. 
I am used as ammunition to take shots at them which is unfair because why use me against her? 
Does it really matter why I'm friends with her friends on Facebook?
Why didn't you just tell me you didn't like me when you saw me?
Why bring my name up when you've never met me in person?


I've grown up with women all my life, and for whatever reason that I STILL can't explain to this day, women feel comfortable around me. But not like the "They'll sleep with me" type of comfortable, but they I'll eat a whole tub of ice cream in front of you without you judging me type of comfortable. This apparently makes men who are insecure uncomfortable, but what isn't talked about is how the friend feels. It's hard because as a friend to her you want to be nice to the boyfriend because all you hear from her is how wonderful a guy he is. But as a MAN you don't want to fuck with the person at all because they're behaving this way.


Like I said before, I've gone through this scenario many times so I know how to handle myself in it. I thought it'd be interesting for some of you guys to read about it and just gain a new perspective for the other person as this side doesn't get talked about often.

"Miraculous" by Willie The Kid

I love this song right here. Everything from the beat, the chorus, and the lyrics. Perfect music to ride to.

Incredible Ant Colony video

The video speaks for itself. Damn near 10 tons of cement just to fill the whole thing out!! You made not enjoy it but I sure did...but I also love the show Planet Earth.

Funniest office meltdown EVER

There's always that joke about white people and what'll happen when they get fired from their job, "Oh watch out, Dale is gonna come back tomorrow and shoot the whole office up" and every gets a good laugh while Dale loads up his guns for the morning.
Well rather than taking the time to let his anger fester and turn into something bigger, this man decided to just lose it on site. I have never seen such an office meltdown but I am SO HAPPY that it was captured on tape. Kudos to you sir for bypassing the 7 day notice and putting work at a standstill for about a day or so after destroying all that equipment. Peep the peaceful music, almost soothing while witnessing all the chaos isn't it?

Why humble is the best way to go

If you haven't seen this video yet consider yourself LAME...or just not as much of a Youtube junky as myself. This video right here ranks Top 10 in my favorite Youtube videos of all time. I commend him for taking the risk of going into the ring after putting on such a show. The funniest part about this video other than the ending is that the song that he's going out to is HIS OWN SONG!! Could you imagine Mike Tyson going out to a song that he rapped?? Incredible!

Facebook name changes

As some of you already saw on my Facebook status, I have an issue with Facebook allowing people to change their usernames. Sure I understand that if it's your own page you should be able to make it into whatever it is you want it to be, but to a certain limit.
There are some people who are NOT supposed to be given the creative freedom as everyone else, because what happens is that they make themselves look like a damn fool when their creative juices flowing. The real issue with the Facebook names isn't so much people changing their first or last name to their middle name and last name combination (e.g my buddy Terrance changing his first name to Avery which is his middle name), it's the ghetto people who want to change their names to ignorant ass shit. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about.

Real Name: Jonathan Gathers -------> Jon Jon Trapstar Gathers
Real Name: Denise Summers ----> Necee Fancychik Summers
Real Name: Marcus Johnson ----> Young Pistolholder Johnson
Real Name: Alicia Walker ------> Licia Lightskinredbone Walker

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! When Dave Chappelle said on his show "We shoulda never gave you niggas money" he might have been on to something. There are times when you are given the opportunity to be creative, and some of those times you jump at the opportunity, and other times you leave it alone. For most of the people in the Black community, I think we should just leave Facebook name changes alone. I know that some of us don't go by the name that is on our Facebook, or go back some sort of variation of it, I get that. But to add an alias to a name that you don't like just to make a name that no one in their right mind would select is well...just stupid!

New look for the blog

Hello Everyone,

First let me say thank you for taking the time out to read this. You could be doing anything right now but instead you're reading my thoughts and feelings, and for that I thank you so much. For some of you who check out my blog from time to time you notice that 9 times out of 10 I'm posting up poetry, and don't worry I'll continue to post up my art. I have decided to take a different approach for a little bit just to change it up and make it more entertaining for my viewers. What's this mean?

*Videos

* Pics

*Random thoughts

*Music

*And pop culture stuff.

I'm looking forward to changing up the blog and making it more inviting for more than those who just love to read my poems. Let's see how far I can take this whole blog thing and I can only make it happen with my viewers so once again thank you.

the ref

I should apologize for these thoughts I've thought
Wondering if you're achievements are really just fluff
Softened by celebrity named pillows
Vacation spots and egos
Ideas soaring like eagles
Lost in your life wondering if we're even equals...
But oh so close we are, you and I
The man you hope for for me died
You talk to me as if he were I or vice versa better yet
Lost all kinds of connection and respect to him
Upset about your neglect from him
You push me away because you won't let him in
You settle for moral victories because life taught you "forget the win"
So many foul moment but you see only the ref in him
I had to talk DOWN to my dad before I could let him in
He had to be diagnosed with Cancer before my heart could get to him
I know you've lost in the past with men
But with this one bet
But this time, bet to win.

Can't Call It

Fear is a factor
My body simply works as reactor
To ambitious thoughts that float up
Expectations with that grow wings
But perseverance is also present
To hold my hand through reality
Protecting me from pain
Though some is healthy
Lord help me
As we both walk in the presence of sinners
Though I myself have sinned in the process of being a winner
Or least the closes thing to it.
Inspired by a painful song
Soul full of spirit
Embrace that feeling
But no need to fear it

30 Seconds From Now

I'm tired of having this degree and nothing to show for it
Except calls from Sallie Mae, man fuck it
I'm tired of not going back to selling weed
To make the money that I feel I need
I'm tired of there being no good jobs
I spent thousands for this degree, but what's that mean to ya'll?
Nothin, so let's open up the discussion...
I remember when I was a young man
College never seemed like a plan
More like a wish
Even though back then I was taught that is a degree is what you get
Then a job will follow behind it
Reminded by this economy
That this dream of mine is more liike an inomally
But what's stopping me
From robbing a corner store as I think about it more and more
Actually you know what
I have a part time job which is more than some peoples' luck
Some people have no family, job, or motivation
I have all of the above
I guess life is tired of me bitching
Where's the love...

Bread

Money on my mind like I keep 20's in my pillow

Planting my seed in the hopes this money tree might grows

Repetition like stepping to the line for a free throw

But the pressure's on

I tried to live my life right but life taught me how to live it wrong

Saw things I didn't recognize

I just knew that what I was seeing was really wrong

Dope fiends washing the cars like what are they really on?

That wavy feeling that stunk up the whole house

From the stove to the ceiling

Late nights alone trying to sleep with that spooky feeling

Ya'll know what I'm talking about?

If not I don't really wanna illustrate it

But it's better than you watching as I demonstrate it

Made me who I am now even though back then I would hate

But I was too young to do anything about it

Helpless as I had to take it

Wait I thought this was about mula

Cheese, cheddar, gouda

Bread, ends, money mothafuckas

Bottom line is signed by "Profit Margins"

Initials by Capitalism

Realism.
