Strahan's crazy 8 to play

You know Brett's started this ugly trend,of retiring and coming back for more money in football.At least"M.J."did it soley for his love of basketball and inspiration to keep playing.Now Strahan.You can't-live without http://www.sportsviews.com./
What is it-now?it use to be goin into the off-season players if eligible made beelines to"free-agency".If no-agreement for x-amount was reached to re-sign with their-teams.



Usually-handled by their agents on their behalf.Strahan and the Giants have bumped-heads from this"left-shoe dance"in the past.Thoughts were it was resolved.I can't-knock"the hustle"of getting what you can",it's how much-more?8.2 million.Had I known in the future the ridiculous-salaries athletes would be-given I'd've stuck with basketball.But my fate was sealed after breaking my left-leg counter clockwise in a bad-bike accident."I'm-blessed"to have writing and art as successful-careers.



Yeah,the money's-guaranteed if you get it"Strahan"and you probally-will.But like I said in the Ucho-Cinco piece your career could be over"in a blink".There are factors weighing the balance you may have gotten the money as 50 cents the rapper says but it will-force you to do something other than your-true passion....football?..well maybe not!.I can't-believe,I put Good-To-shoey Goodell in this post.Why is he in my thoughts? he was part of my sample-writing"wait"he-reinstated"pac-man"Jones to the NFL,Vick there's hope-yet.

Friend indeed

It was Sunday before last 8/17 a sunday evening.I was a"bit down",though I'm positive most-time.That day"I wasn't".you all know blogs are an open-book of the author's-life mines no- exception it's been open for a month(lol).My dismay with "bloggin' had came to a head"though I've done it for a year"it's just the whole waiting to "get-paid thing".

Unlike my and other freelancer's-hustle selling,creating-art or submitting articles for mags where there's "no-doubt"at time's you're-paid immediately.This format I hope changes-soon.Anyway I got my hustle-on grabbed my best-real dvds"no-bootlegs"and left to sell them.I went to my boy, John and showed him what I had.He asked my price?,I said "just$7"and he gave me$14.I'm-like "Man",I wasn't-expecting this!. At time's your-friends know when you need-help!.I'm-humble and that moment"re-enforced"it.

We-"finally"got to chill-out watch some movies,Final-Destination 3 was on!.Because "Slik-J"as I call him,be on the go! and hard to catch most-times.I'm glad that day,my friend of 16years"had time".My mood and power-moves have improve since his-help that day.This week I got a better-paying opportunity online.Maybe it's the allignment of the stars?"but it's also the Leo's-way, to help!.We're-both low-key Leo's.If there are any("Non-Materialistic")women,perferribly-white.Looking for a man that's been on his job 15years at Georgia Tech,hardworking, good and fun-guy.If interested email,maurice_wll806@yahoo.com.I'll have John contact you.You know the adage,of being a "blessing"to other's,I thank god 4 blessing-John to be mine that day!.

"Ya think"7/15/08

NFL commish Roger Gordell says rookie-salaries are "ridiculous".Here's are some solutions comissioner,start the rookies at minimum or what the practice-squad players make En massed of $50,000.00-$250,000.00.For their first-full season if they "exceed goals" set by the team/owners they get their "signing-bonus" added to what they currently make.If they perform past that whatever other "incentives" plus re-negotiate upcoming-contracts for the next-year.Those are just my suggestions!."Sportnation"until next update"stay-locked".

Bumrush at the Atlanta Fulton County Library

The conditions at the facility through the week,the patrons are subjected to witness the "antics of regular-people with short-fuses",people whose elevator doesn't go all the way to the top!with"killer-hygiene"and the homeless.It starts sundays at 2pm.I know because I unfortunately don't have a personal-computer will soon.Whose time is "the security-officers on?,"Mental-note"as if you're-open to listen!you are to open sundays at 2pm not 2:05 in there just-conversating in "full-public view".Weekdays at 9am for all the aforementioned-issues stated earlier you could at least open on time!.

You-don't and near riots "result-literally" people be pushing,cursing you name it!."It's not that much preparation in the world!for staffers at the location.You log-on your computers for the days-transaction with the patrons,sort,arrange your carts of books,dvds to re-shelf,"It's not rocket-science"then you deal with us the public!.

This blogging's part-time I work retail,I know how to deal with people at a "fast-pace"it slows but don't-stop!.I have to ask on general-principle does the actions of certain-patrons excite you?to deliberately incite"the foolishness",you have no-life other than to mock-others!speaking un-professional and spraying air-freshner!.I'm no-saint but everyone has some sense of humility and respect!."Deplorable-unsanitary"bathrooms locked-down due to filthiness,feces,urine over toilets.Left by"destructive-people" with nothing better to do but try making other people feel their inadequancies and self-hate,loathing!.You staffers could be "politically-correct" and not-admit people on the grounds of"bad-hygiene"you would be appreciated for your effort!.How people come there and become-immuned is beyond me?!.I don't have all the answers but the ones I suggested are simple-enough!.

The Secret/My testimony

I recently read "the Secret"it intrigued me!.If you are into positive-thinking then this "metaphysical-offering's"for you.I'd gone through another moment of dispair,I guess you can call-it that!.Recently recovering from appendix-surgery and going back to work then my 9-5;also dealing with "negative-energy"(people)needless to say this book gave me a"pick-up".Though I was making-changes in my life!before"the sixth-twist of fate",I'd experienced more on that-later.I guess in gods-eyes or the universes it wasn't-quick enough "whichever you choose to acknowledge!".Well the zen-like teachings center on "channeling"having the mind-set of visualizing-positively what you want!or to most people the addage,"karma"what you put out,you get returned tenfold!.

"I believe that" so,I'm some what-bias.As I read the small-book then I started"focusing"on tweaking more-positive affirmations!and less on things heightening my stress-levels!.That once I re-evaluated them;"we'ren't worth the effort I afforded them to have over me".I saw-change and for a month(peace).I don't-dwell with"negativity"by listening to gossip or being around those people!.The book showed-me what you think your life becomes!.The book is not a cure-all and its detractors critique it as such with their-banter,"It stole some from the greatest-book of all,"the bible".

There are similarities but however a person is positively-receptive and influenced to make changes to benefit their life-better is the point!.Whether it's their finances,self-improvement,relations is what I got from it.

Oh,that sixth-twist of fate(6th near-death)experience I spoke of earlier,I will clarify.I would have died had I not listen-first to "that whisper"you hear people speak of in situations like mine.They say "God"spoke to them well he had plus my friend'Trice said to check myself into the hospital-immediately that tuesday afternoon.I left from work the doctor said had I not done so I would have-died."I'm a walking-testimony"literally.5.Survived a robbery at gun point at point-blank range on my oldest-sons first birthday,that changed-me forever!.I had a quick-temper then but learned-perspective for my-sons sake and mine!.Life is too-short for stupidity!.

4.Had surgery to remove a rare-birthmark that could have become cancerous,3.broke left-leg counter-clockwise(ouch,like jason friday the 13th-style)due to a bike-accident,2.stuck a brand-new ice pick in left-hand at age 8,9 had the sense to calmly and slowly-remove it!,"it missed-arteries",1.nearly-bled to death from a cut to my right-hand resulting from "fighting with my cousin"over a toy glass piggy-bank yeah,then at an early-age I was about money!.I use the bible-solely reading certain- scriptures to get me through"major-problems" but I implement what I learned from "the Secret as well!".

"Reminisce"

As I look at u-both sleep-peacefully,the memories-flow like a slow-current of water down a river.

I'm taken back 2 our first-meetings officially,ackward,calming you letting me know you were cool in accepting-me clasping my hand with yours,telling me you knew who your parents were.

Your oldest brother doust-me while being weighed,that-boy!.Then those "Special-first"sounds,coos,belches,words..daddy,mama playin',walking getting into things through your adventures!.

Then came the diagnoses,epilepsy,asthma one less dire than the other but could develope to that stage."2004"the year & summer we never have prayed so-hard for "Gods"-mercy and "grace"."As you the youngest"-"endured"a sleep u may not have awaken from."God"-answered our prayers"though you have no-recollection,It's all good!.

Now you both think you're-grown and smellin'-yourselves pants-saggin' you've lost your mines!.I came-up in hip-hops early days &"That's not it".

We've had to resort to "tough-love"for you to understand,"we're the parents".But the thrill's knowing "It paid-off"you both doing your-desires,writing new-chapters"knowing we're here 4u-unconditionally!.

"In God we trust",yeah-right?!

Those words made famous by our-forefathers!of this country,that I inhabit.I'm Not a deeply-religious man;I perfer-spiritual!but God's-leading me to write this"In God we trust",yeah-right?!.If that's the case this-chaos wouldn't exist!.What I'm saying has been said,done before probally.But
look at the relevancy in the world and in Gods-words and draw your own conclusions.These our current-situations,(results)the scriptures-comparisons:Deuteronomy32:13-40 working some what backward but you will
understand 13.flourished in the stony ground(then the u.s.economy)the lords people grew rich,but rebellious;they were fat and stuffed with food.(the supreme world-power)they sacrificed to gods not-real(darwinism,cloning)they forgot their-god their "mighty savior".the one who gave-them life!.

(Gods-frustration),21.with their idols they made god-angry 20.I'll No-longer help them 22.my anger flames-up like fire and I'll burn-everything on earth!.(remember the second-coming)(23)I will bring on them endless-disasters(katrina,tsunamis,viruses-immuned,super-bugs)with a "killer-resistance" 24.they will die from hunger,fever and terrible-diseases!(droughts,famine-poverty,recession)these are the events he spoke of regarding-feeling "his-presence"eventually the end of how things-now are on earth!cause the new-world(after-life)will-be by his rule only!.

25."War will bring death in the street"(Iraqi-war);terror will strike in homes(home invaisions,parents,kids killing one another!).young men and women will-die;neither babies nor old-people will be spared!(prayer/God taken-out of school!)."The war's not yours",It's Gods!and his-vengenance 36.the Lord will rescue his people when he sees their strength gone.He will have mercy-for those who serve him,when he sees how helpless they are.37.The Lord will ask his-people"Where are those mighty-gods you trusted?".(His mercy with-stern warning of repercussions!)39."I and I-alone,am "GOD";
No-other god is Real."I-kill" and "I give-life","I wound and "I heal,"No one can oppose what I do?"."As surely as "I am the Living-God"there's more but I'll-conclude here.

"The rich developers get richer"

It seems no-matter how much as I one of many-blackmen making a positive-impact in our-communities and beyond.We can't-ignite the other "influential-ones" to do the same in their-communities!.Albeit we can't-help us all if they refuse-it!but It's just-disheartening seeing "the potential-in our race go to waste".Right-now here in West-Atlanta there's a boom in "housing-development"don't-believe the news of "gloom-doom".
To be exact the west-sides historic-neighborhoods,Bowen homes,Hollywood courts I used the past-tense because this year thats what they'll be,"history!".

Due to re-developement by "white-developers"I can't-knock the hustle! but I can speak and invest my black-dollars with my people!.This hustle's bland and "cut-throat"to my people since-slavery they should've saw it coming!.as usual instead of us becoming franchised "working-together for our own good economically".Theres those of us that rather stay "disenfranchised".Because of envy,lack of trust for one another!.Again all "opportunities-squandered" but Not for the white-man or his cohorts-foreign(Middle-eastern,Asian).

Ever "the opportunist" to reap-profits that could've gone to us!.Haven't you all-learned you're-not getting a "bargin" you're getting re-sold property thats "over-priced" with some amnemities-woo-wee!.Condos,townhomes,refurbished-apartments (you can't-rent)unless u got close to "A-1 credit"."How much-more" my people before U-Realize "it's systematic"& for us to combat and"overcome"to prosper we can only-do it!"there's no-love lost" on the black-race!.

"vick"

Jack was nimble but not quick
as Mike Vick.The house of cards-folded
tumbled bricks on Vick.

bourgie-media glossed out hicks
a bunch of tricks unto the next-vics.

mikes supposed-clique used him as a come-up
lick.But he's not innocent cause he lent.

Unfortunate the charges stick
black-people are again sick

"How does a rich continent become third world?"

In Africa,the two region's Cairo and South Africa control their commerce.Cairo's tourism the
pyramids and south Africa's hotel/resorts.The racist-ideology of South Africa's
apartheid ravish the other state's o the continent.Kenya now in political-uproar due to the last-election's where a revolution has amass unjust bloodshed.The region is in ruin's due to genocide and poverty.We see the deplorable picture's on christian television.Sierra Leone's supplier of the world's blood-diamond's!.I'm appalled from the vicious army violence and it's minion's bring suffering even death to the worker's in the mine's.
http://www.blackplanet.com/keepnstitches36/

The army allow's greed above knowledge and respect to rule them.What is perpetuated that their senseless murderers who are inferior globally and look for constant assistance regarding
food and basic supplies.Like we the minority their descendant's in the united state's.They need to know two thing's learn democracy of their resources.As it permeates monetarily i ntheir country then globally.Be passionate,enthusiastic to cultivating their crop-land's to dig well's for water,food to prosper.Mis-management of profit's from diamond's et cetera brought poverty unto them.Once they do for themselve's it will make a difference in them as a people."Self-reliance is good for the soul as well as pride!.

"Fantasia's close-call"

For "tasia-fan's"myself included "Tasia"as she's affectionally-known
were all curious to what happened?to the "beloved-songtress" after the Color-purple musical concluded.Speculation amoung performer's of the production was that she purposely-cancelled performance's
"for more attention".


"Truth-is" a song from her debut cd,"Free yourself"she had to have emergency-surgery for a cyst on her vocal-cord's.It had been diagnosed by an American-Idol doctor Fantasia had requested his service's after she felt her voice was closing-down"on her.As a result of the cyst unbeknownst to her.The doctor also treat's other celebrities.The doctor said the cyst was of"abnormal-size"the largest he'd seen!it was cause for concern.Well as it turn's out the cyst was "benign" and successfully removed.

"Tasia"after a short-recovery and being cleared by her doctor resumed-recording in the studio.We're glad your health's better!and that we can continue enjoying those raspy-pulling at your heart-string song's of your's!.

"Jay-Z face's copyright infringement suit over looping-"R"logo"

name's have been changed to protect litigant

(keepnstitches36)

I have checked out;the account's of the alledged "copyright infringement suit" against rap-mogul,Jay-z.This comes from a reliable source a fellow freelance-artist/writer with whom I'm conducting this phone interview.Why don't you introduce yourself?,(so-sik),so-sick(keepnstitches36),thank you for that(so-sik)No,thank you for granting me the opportunity to express myself on the issue!.(keepnstitches36)please divulge(so-sik)the extent of it is "Intellectual-property"jay-z excuse me Mr.Shawn Carter may or may not been-aware that another artist owned that cursive looping-"R".

(keepnstitches36)let me interject;you believe Jay-z has blatantly used the logo to rub in your face because of his status?!(so-sik)Yes,this is to acknowledge me as the creator/ and rightful-owner of the cursive looping-"R",Not he or his company Roca-wear.They have the"RW"that is unique!.In regards of marketing,look the design"was for my line of tees,"Reyse-Inc"now "ReysesikArt Inc".That I came on the scene with on a whim I designed and sold in 1991 when I moved to Atlanta.They were the "follow-up"to the championship bulls tees with the caricature of "Jordan atop the world sipping a coke" with the trophy by his side!.

(keepnstitches36)Well?(so-sik)"let me stop you",Please you were about to ask why-now?!.It has not been for lack of not trying to "pursue-compensation".When I became"painfully-aware"of my logo's-usage it was 2002!.I saw it on a "bootlegged-cap" that jay-z had not put-out or conceived,yet this man had on one at"H.E. Holmes train station"here in Atlanta.

Then it was the" Domino-effect"I saw it everywhere,Chris Brown,Ciara wore it in roca-wear ad's!.Then I was "struggling to make end's meet"and to en masse a counter-legal attack,I knew I needed money!.(keepnstitches36)And now(so-sik)from resources I've obtained help that I we'rent-aware existed for graphic-artist with no representation.Jay-z's marketing has major-backing"it is exact to mine the usage of the"R"and the color-scheme of the caps;as I drew them."The subtleties went out the window"of giving jay-z the benefit of the fact unbeknownst to him!.I feel he thinks he's entitled"to take it"Because I'm an unknown,I've thrived as an artist for 16-plus-year's!."I'm not backing-down"because he has money!.


Jay and his people at Roca-wear"blew-off"the email I sent 2005 speaking of my intent.They sent an auto-reply saying they'd look into it!."Well they were-forewarned".The twist of fate came this week ago last-saturday.Upon me again emailing my intent this time along with a copy of "the original-design"to the office's of Volunteer lawyer's for the Art's in Atlanta and the headquarter's in New York.I returned a call I got from the Atlanta office by an intern para-legal.Do you know she tried discouraging-me after asking me the year I created the logo which-legally I can't disclose!.

She said due to the year's passed "the statue's of limitation had expired!"."I'll make this clear",I will not "give-up" my fight due to a "supposed-technicality".(keepnstiches36)"So-sik"thank you for that and "the Exclusive".To all you "established-artist"you have the money to "thoroughly-check"if there's a logo,"signature-mark",content that is similar or exact to your's!."Take-time"to dot your "I's"and cross your "T's or this will happen to you!.
