I KNOW POOR DR SEUSS TURNS OVER IN HIS GRAVE! BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT IT IS KINDA FUNNY IN A PERVERSE SORTA WAY LOL
THIS IS MY FAVE....
ENTERTAINERS, ENTERTAINMENT, PAST AND PRESENT. REVOLUTIONISTS AND LUMINARES THAT HAVE GRACED THE STAGE AND SCREEN AND TOUCHED MANY A HEART HUMOUR THAT BRINGS A SMILE AND SONGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU DANCE, LAUGH OR CRY. THESE ARE ALL A PART OF WHO I AM AND WHO I WISH TO CONVEY THROUGH EACH AND EVERY PODCAST AND WRITTTEN WORD.....ENJOY...WELCOME TO MY WORLD
I CANT BELIEVE IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
This is the time of year that I put the house in order. I have already bought the majority of my gifts and with a nod to the ailing economy I'm not throwing a lot of parties this year. ( cause I cant afford too) I am buying a tree a really great gifts for my two best friends lenny and Patricia. Without them i would not have made it thru this year sane! I swear God has blessed you when you can really call someone a friend and not believe your exaggerating!
However, I refuse to buy liquor for people to drink and act the fool in my house this year. I am throwing one dinner ONE. and fully intend to do it so old fashion in the damn dining room (PEOPLE WONT BE TEMPTED TO LINGER STUCK AT A TABLE. i CAN CLEAR IT AND THEM) . Really, Why have china and all that old folks crap and not use it? I told Gabe as soon as i kick off whoever he decides to get will probably sell my stuff on Craigslist LOL
My birthday party will be held somewhere else so I'm not stuck being part of the clean up committee AND more importantly, I am going to mass this year and since I am a somewhat practicing catholic I'm going to fulfill my obligation to attend confession at least once within the year. Oh and make it to mass at least once. i did attend like a Baptist church twice in the summer. I liked the music!
I never understood confession at all. I prefer to just talk to Jesus myself but as a kid I couldn't resist shocking the heck outta the parish priest. I use to belong to Saint Bridges Parish and we had this young priest named Father Mark who use to shake his boots to see my black behind entering that booth. Id confess masturbation in graphic detail to him ( I was obsessed with masturbation at 12) till finally the poor man ran from the booth and had me in for one on one counseling explaining their was no need to be so graphic LOL. He all but tole me Could report my sins to Jesus my darn self. I still laugh at the memory and a small part of me wishes I knew where they shipped him off to id like to cal him and shock him with this years foolishness lol
Serious Now, Seriously I'm truly thankful for my life and all God has blessed me with. Even though I see blue days I also see alot of sunny days....This is one of them.....A perfect Fall day!
Man, Lord knows it aint easy. Tonight once again we completed a segment of our Podcast "True Urbane Havoc Entertainment Hour" tonights theme was house and I was working with 3 djs and some independent artists here in Brooklyn, NY.
First off, Im NO DJ. My partna is thats his world but I do have a ear. Plus in 2006-2007 I hosted their podcasts which got pretty good reviews and a pretty good fan base.
It was something to do to make our bond tight. I personally listen to old music even as a shorty I was listening to jazz and Gabe is a head. Liking hip hop and House. But somehow we merged and I got introduced to a brother named Muhammad from Baltimore at a talent show. I was just listening and he asked "what do u think" and I just said what I believed and thats how the concept of the podcast was born out of clips from independent artists.
Imagine my surprise when I was watching BCAT and one of the acts I thought would "make it" had made a nice video and were signed artists.
Its not my bag but I love the energy. I bring my dog and tell the brothers their if me and Patrick dont feel like dancin it aint hot LOL thats what tonight is solely based on me and my freakin dancin chihuua.
Its hard fitting into other worlds. I didnt want a "gay" Or "Straight" podcast. I didnt want talk about gay issues or straight issues and I knew it would be harder when certain activists in certin Yahoo groups dogged me for throwing the DJ Parties and not wanting this or that cause it was about music and fun not pick ups.
I got passed all that and hell if im not proud. Im very proud of the tracks here because I was around during the remixes and everything ...I hope everyone who reads this adds it to their IPOD.
I was thinking about this past campaign. Change was the main focus, the driving point of the campaign.
Young kids screamed for change, middle aged people welcomed change, old people somewhat were wary of change.
John Mccain came from a time when people bought 78RPM records, Electricity wasn't a member of every-ones home and race issues were essential a non issue until African Americans garnered the right to vote.
In his days the press adored the republican party glorying in their wealth and labeling them the keepers of "things as they darn well should be"
During the campaign, I remember the first debate you could almost see the sneer and smirks as John McCain used the old tactics to make his points and state his case. However, the aftermath sealed his fate.
The internet, the TV everyone had a poll. No one liked his attitude and the way he presented himself. he came off as condescending, smug and that to me sealed his fate.
There was a time in America where good, God fearing people bought what the politicians said hook line and sinker as long as they said "God Bless America" Obamas former associate sans minister said "God Damn America" as outraged as we all wanted to be we all said that every time we opened a light bill, or we declined credit.
Oh of course no one said it in polite politically correct America but I'm always reminded of the Marie Antoinette MTV movie where the masses go against her. America re enacted that movie per batum. We just haven't lynched Bush yet.
In the past year we have been lied to. The republican party used scare tactics and Osama Bin Laden as the key to the kingdom, this being the White House and when they got in their. They caught and jailed somebody but it damn sure wasn't Obama Bin thats for sure and the war has dragged on and alot of us are at the point now of "what the hell is the war about anyway"
The old ideas stopped working and though its terrific that we have an African American as president elect. His fight wasn't that hard because we Americans especially us younger ones are getting smarter and smarter and not accepting what everyone representing the Red White and Blue has to say.
We are challenging these decisions and become political thinkers in our own right so while were praising Obama who ran a great campaign we better praise ourselves for waking and smelling the damn coffee
I miss writing these thoughts in my notebook.
The thing when your in a relationship especially a long term one its hard to make friends because people have ulterior motives. I'm no prude but I'm just not into all that swapping and stuff doesn't intrest me at all. I think its dangerous I have seen many heterosexual relationships go under behind that BS. The only thing i see much diffrent in Hetro and homo relationships is the genders so if its not good for the goose....Besides Im just shy. I cant imagine telling someone I love them and sleeping with everybody. HMMM People say you have to hold your head but if you indulge in every passing fancy or whim it could open up doors. I tried it once when I was like 19 ( i think it was Paul who I had this huge crush on and my two friends Bootsie and Marcell when i lived in Fla I still get a upset stomich at the thought. Friends just dont need to see everything on each other! LOL and wasn't impressed at all it was just too many body and body parts for me. Does this make me a prude? There was a gay couple we use to play cards with. They both acted like wimps but they were ok and they actually threw it up in the air. hell, even if i was single I would jump over them to get to someone else! Somethings I just cant imagine!
Whoever heard of a gay prude lol that is funny.
Shawn thinks hes going to be a singer and he doesn't sound that good anymore to me. I listen to the one song he made on a cd back in 2005 and its slammin now his voice has a I dunno its aging he got out of school b4 us so hes gotta be almost 40 that should be his prime? Should i tell him this. Think about this this may be important to our friendship. He asked me to play a song on my keyboards I dont want to. Its all a drag to me.
What a day today was. I took the whole day off and rested. Last night Gabe had to close his Fathers bodega down because the electoral celebrations were hot and heavy in Brooklyn. Which was beautiful except the crack heads sneak in and try to steal stuff so that's not so good. Plus I had to get up and drive and pick him up. He didn't want to walk. I was happy to we went and got chicken nuggets the Mickey Ds on Fulton stays open 24 hours if u drive.
Charles finally got his CNA I'm so proud of him whenever we had to go away wed let him stay at our house. Hes from another country and lives with his Mom and I love him like a brother.
We have a neighbor that has all types of company all night and last night they caught someone trying to climb the fire escape to sneak in his house. Hes a single male, probably gay but defiantely a drug addict which is sad. Why are the supposedly mature ( i use that term verrryyyyy loosely still toying with that 80's shit?
I promised Gabe id stop with the notebooks but there is nothing like riding a bus and just writing thoughts as they come. I read a notebook from 6th grade it said
"antoine coleman is my best friend we are in Ms. Petrizellis class together. I don't wanna be mark Hardy's friend anymore he smells like friend chicken.
Imagine! ive been keeping a journal all these years. I wonder am I addicted. Well i got my writing fix i can clock out and work on dinner.... I wonder what ever happen to Antoine anyway? When I go out to Long island I'm going by his mothers house and ask.
When I heard that Barack Obama had won. I'm not a weeper but I wept. I wept for joy that the American people. My People, looked past a mans skin color and voted for what they believed was the best man for the job.
I wept when I thought of my great grand Mother, My Nana, My Mother all the women and men in my family who always believed that one day America would wake up and put their petty thoughts aside. Wise up and they did.
I wept for Dr. martin Luther King that had a dream and I smiled as I said to myself, "Dreams come true"
I smile and I weep and I pray that Obama lives up to his talk and his dreams because this is just the beginning of a long uphill journey and now to my guests.....
I was wondering why I have this lethargic feeling. Since yesterday I have desperately been trying to keep myself busy and tho my mind races with dozens of inane tasks that require my attention I keep ending up on the couch. Head up or face down asleep.
Finally, Gabe said, This will be the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without your Mom and the second without your Dad and my nose began to burn. That funny feeling you get when you either drink a Pepsi too fast or are about to cry.
I thought I could be stronger than this. I thought I could breeze thru everything. I just wanted the grief to be over and here it is hitting me full frontal and making me feel that Im a big baby that cant cope.
I know its a process. Its only been since April 18, 2008 that my Mom left here and I know she wouldnt be here forever. I know Im blessed with a great life partner and a pet and some friends who i actually care about.
But, theres this little hole in my heart that wants my Mommy. I dont like the grief process its a cagy thing. It attacks and then makes you believe your getting on and then these holidays come and it hits you. You remember the joy of the big dinners and the music and the laughter and all the sharing and you realize its gone but I know I need to build new memories with Gabe and I want to but I cant.
Instead im sitting in front of my computer like a 12 year old my nose is running and I want to cry but know that I shouldnt that really its going to pass.
Maybe years later I will read this and remember how I felt. How I coped..
Gabe told me that maybe we should go to Atlanta or maybe Fla for the holidays just get out the house. But, We have so many plans the expense would set us behind by almost a year plus, I just dont care for either place. Id as soon cope under my own roof.
Thats what I will do. Im going to go online get the recipes for some things and clean the house. Take the next 3 days off and pull the house together get the cards done and take Gabes dad to his Dialysis I love his father almost like my own. But not the same. His father is like a curiousity. Much diffrent than my Dad. But just as strong.
Ill be OK. This moment has passes

Unbelievable the shit that AOL pulled with their journals I had years worth of personal journals that dated back to 2006 on their and I wanted to put it here but when i began pulling it and reading it some of the stuff was intensely personal as it really was a private blog plus i wasnt up for all that cut and paste BS. I had two multiply pages and two AIM pages. I do alot of personal blogging cuz I use to write in a Black and white marble composition book since about 12 and i have so many of those damn things in 2005 i decided to modernize.
I hope multiply doesn't go but i put all my good stuff pics and family things on Blogger cause I doubt Google will be going thru the finical meltdown AOL or rather Time Warner ( the parent company) is dealing with. I'm not even wanting to use their Email anymore.
Yahoo at least says BETA so why people cop attitudes about a test/pilot program is ludicrous. But I like Yahoo (unfortunately) its the people their that are lazy. They never blog. I love em tho.
Hope to meet at least 16 good people here thats my limit cause I like to read stuff when I actually log on.
I'm actually back to using the desktop in the house. I enjoyed my last visit so much with people posting videos that I couldn't see cuz I was using a MDA or sometimes a Sidekick that I called Verizon and had the broadband put back on in the house
A bold move poor Gabe thought I had caught dementia abut he said its good to see you doing something for you for a change. I have Gabe and a 12 year old relative I'm raising so my life is busy, busy busy.....

Have you ever thought you were having a inteligent conversation. One that you would walk away with a gem or too to help your life long journey a better way?
Yet you get caught up in a ridculous chit chat about nothing? Why are our friends like that? Its as if we dont pick our friends just right.
they say friends are a reflection of us. THAT IS SCARY!!!! WHEN I LOOK AT MY REAL FRIENDS IM PERPLEXED AND I HAVE TO DO A INNER SEARCH TO SEE WHAT SCREWED UP PART OF ME COMPLIMENTS MY FRIENDS. tHE ONES THAT ARE ARGUMENTITIVE, DRAMA RIDDEN, FOOLISH. THE ONE WITH THE YEA LONG LIST OF ADDICTIONS LIKE SEX, DRUGS, ALCOHOL.
HAVE MERCY ISNT THIS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT???
Here you go......
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries
are getting dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there
is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars,
but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when a revolve
r is thrown at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
If people evolved from apes,why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are
always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses
are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that
something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running ove r a string a dozen times with their
vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it
down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bu gs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling
off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer
when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons are
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
~~~Now send this on to your friends and make them smile too!~~~
