I'ma Poet, Don'tcha Know It?

Since I really didn't have much to rant about today I felt like open up my book of rhymes to throw a classic Ian gem out there lol

I write words, some of love, some of hate
Words of past, present, future, and words of fate

Words that help, words meant to erase the hurt
Words that charm, and words that are used to flirt

Words to calm, words that release my rage
Words that I type or words written down on a page

Words that I say, whether in poem, or rap
Words that are said, when I feel I can't hold back

Words that are known, only if I choose to speak
Words that I say, or write, with a certain technique

Words that chill, cold as an Alaskan breeze
Others feel warm, words like the tropical seas

Words how I feel, what’s going on inside
Words that amaze, baffle, and mystify

Words that are plentiful, coming in different amounts
Words that are infinite, so I will never run out.

Craig's Followers

So I’ve decided that I dunno what “Craig” had in mind when he started his “List”, but he couldn’t have foreseen what it has become. I mean is there anything creepier than a Craigslist transaction? I say this to you as a 6’2 black male who really doesn’t feel as if he’s gonna be kidnapped or anything, but think about it… You get these people who always want you to come by their creep pad or even worse want to come to your residence to “check out” all merchandise for sale. I don’t want those random ass people to know where I live! Infact I’m pretty sure that’s one of the ten crack commandments ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRRGlVVZzkE ) “Number 5 …never sale no crack (or in this case craigslist goodies) where you rest at, I don’t care if they want an ounce tell em bounce!” I mean why can’t we meet at a public location or something? And while I’m on the subject of meeting people and comparing these transactions to drug deals… Why does it always have a drug deal vibe when you meet to sell or buy something from someone on craigslist… I mean it’s always in front of some remote location at night, with instructions to pull up to the black car on the corner, roll down the window and make the exchange. I might as well learn the secret handshake while I’m at it… And don’t get me started on all the crazy ass phone calls you get from unrealistic people expecting you to sell whatever it is you’re selling for 10% or what it’s worth… it’s like “I know in the ad I said I needed money, but quit asking me if I’ll take 45 cents and a piece of already been chewed gum for my 50 inch plasma.”… All that being said, If there’s a deal on craigslist I’ll investigate which makes me a proponent of the perpetuating cycle that is Craigslist

Song Of The Day

I decided to go old school today with a song that totally encompasses how I'm feeling so with out the further adieu I present to you the anthem of the day (take that, take that, take that)

Ode To The Popcorn Ball

Today is a sad day as Halloween is officially in the books. Now I’m sure most of yall think that I am mourning the passing of another night of costumed hi jinx, but in truth this is a eulogy of Popcorn balls. I was at Wal-Mart, early last month doing what one does at Wal-Mart (Namely trying to return stuff for store credit, you call it a scam, I call it enterprising), when I saw a display for Popcorn balls – a box of 12 for 3 bucks (you just can’t beat that). Now we all know that I’m quite the hard core hooligan, but I swear to you, I was as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas (I believed I might have even went as far is to let out a 2 step skip). Now at first I thought what a stroke of luck… I love popcorn balls and I have successfully located some… score! Upon further review, someone (who will remain nameless for killing my buzz) pointed out that they were “Halloween special edition” popcorn balls, because apparently people only eat popcorn balls during Halloween. I’d almost go as far as to say it’s an outrage that such a delicious snack is only available once a year, but what are ya gonna do? Sad day indeed. So long story short… although I’ve bought several boxes to stock up, the popcorn ball is now on a 12 month hiatus until next Halloween.

Fear The Beard!!!

It's getting to be that time of year, when the 5 o'clock shadow
that is the staple of my existence turns to a full on beard a la
Baron Davis, so "Beard Up"
