Today at around 12 noon there was an explosion in a mall in Waukegan, about 40 min north of Chicago. There are about 5 to 6 ppl injured right now, and my prayers go out to them. Now some reports say that this might have something to do with the gas company being onsite at the mall, for who knows what reason. They had a crew on site and they didnt have the proper training?!?! I mean, we are talking about gas here, you know fossil fuel, combustible light a cigarette and thats ur ass, gas. But it just goes to show you that we live in a world (especially this city) where you can get the job and not have the right training. Now there are a lot of different reasons why you get the job, but you really dont know exactly what it is ur doing there. Its really scary when you have a person that gets a job in.... lets say...... a gas company. You got ppls lives in ur hands literally, and ur not really trained for this job? C'MON!!! This is some serious shit here! What if the same situation was applied to a different position like firefighter, policeman, hell... heres a more common one, mechanic. We're talking lost lives, loose criminals and fucked up cars, does that sound familiar?
Today at around 1 pm there was a mishap at the mini-mall in Downer's Grove. I bought a stereo from a store which i wont name, and they quoted me a price for installation, I was like "oooh that's good!" When it came time to install it in my car, he not only quoted me a different price but went on to say that the new price was a base quote and it could go up even more! Then on top of all that, he couldnt tell how the car was wired exactly so he said and I quote "It might not even work!" I was befuddled. He suggested that I went ahead with a gamble of over $150 that wasnt even close to being 50/50. I quickly asked for my keys back, of course. In their office there are certificates and plaques and shit and they couldnt figure it out. Now if I take it to the hood electrician i know in 3 mins or less he would know whats the deal with the wiring. And my new point is just cuz they have certifications and gold plaques doesnt mean they know what they are doing either. Who can u trust, I guess the Better Business book?!?!?
PUT DOWN THE CONTROLLER AND WALK AWAY SLOWLY
Now repeat after me: Up,C,Down,C,Left,C,Right.....

Dont Write Checks Ur Ass Cant Cash!
Long time to no write. After workin 12 days straight, I have only 2 days off (figures) but the pay is gonna be realllll nice. Now what do I do on my days off you ask? What else? Drink, Sleep and play video games, with some QT in between all that. So I finally hooked up the PS3 and the blutoof to the internet and what do I get? Whole bunch of sorry ass gamers talkin shit. And if u dont know its CALL OF DUTY 4. Still aint beat it yet, just no time and I bought it for the mutliplayer anyway. I cant even to begin tell u how dissapointed I was. First of all I have played 6 hrs in 2 days, making it up to a level 16, I mean, Fps's arent my first pick, nah-mean? Being the video game junkie I am, I figure I could learn the system pretty easy right? Right so Im just shootin some muthafuckas up, u know, M16, grenade launcher, Im increasing my ranks and shit. So on my 2nd hour in I got some fag his screen name Tpag (too fuckin easy!) talking shit, and I just come and take his ass out, stealth style too. You know what I know hes been playin longer than I have, and I was givin it too him, and even worse at the end of the match my score was way higher! I cant even remember his rank, but he fuckin sucked! If you're a loser what gives u the right to talk that shit, especially if ur incapable of backin it up? Can someone xplain?
On the second day man, I was winning matches?!?! For real, I was beating higher ranked ppl too, 50s, 40s, 30, and my rank was like 11 or some shit. I NEED A GAMING CONTRACT RIGHT? Well if you dont think so then I do. How can u have some 12's beatin up on some 55's and shit? What? Man, this thing is addictive too. I love multiplayer games especially sports ones. I used to play games with my brother all the time and when he got older and was still losing, he would be like, this is a waste of time. Well thanx to recent advances in the gaming community, you can get a 100,000 contract, for playing video games! So to me its like playing basketball, you play cuz you love the game, and you know ur not going to go pro, but you playin until you're too old to run. Let me tell u something, I think I have a better chance going pro-gamer then u going to the NBA.

More Hours In A Day
Working any shift but first, will have you thinking about this once a week. If there was more hours in each day, what exactly would you do with them? Working 2nd shift (3-11) my whole day is pretty much gone before it is even started. I make an alright paycheck, for what i do. But a lot times I dont even get to enjoy the benefits, I barely have time to spend the money, and when I do buy something, I barely get to show it off cuz I just dont get the time.
Recently I acquired a car that needs some TLC, just a few things, like a new stereo, really just things I need to customize it. Between shops opening at 10am and me having to be at work at 3, theres only so much I can do in a day. I basically I gotta take things one at a time which is starting to drive me fuckin nuts.
I also recently acquire a copy of CoD4, which has online multiplayer. Now im no fuckin whiz kid with the games, Im ok, it takes me awhile to get used to the games then after about 3-4 hrs it becomes second nature. Im good but I aint good to where I can just skip playing through this game (which is short and very good so far) and jump into some online battles, which im holding myself from doing. I dont wanna come out guns blastin, not hittin nothin and wasting my ammo, gettin laughed at and shit-talked to the whole time. Not winning is one of the biggest turn-offs in playing video games, losing over and over and if I gotta hear some little kid talk shit about my skills, thats compounding the situation. I dont wanna ruin the experience by going in as a novice. The problem is I rarely get the time. The next day I have off, it is going to be dedicated to beating CoD4 and gettin online to snipe some fools.
I bet my significant other is thinking about what she could do with me if she had more hours. (LOL) About this time last year, I just started to get off my butt and decided to do something with my life. Before that I would smoke that green, get a deuce and play games all day, skipping showers, haircuts and lookin all ragedy in the process, my significant other said, she misses that guy. What?!?! I responded, "He really didnt do much for you or himself for that matter" But my guess is that guy was more dependent on her, kissing a lot of ass in the process. She says "He loved me!" WHATEVER

SILLY NEGRO!
I told u that it was gonna get ugly, didnt I? I warned you. I told you that one day this was gonna happen. On the second day of the inaugural week, I came across a comments from a Silly Negro.
SEE LINK BELOW
Though he had some valid points, about Tavis Smiley doing what he can to further the black community, he made some comments that got under my skin a little. First, its enough that we call each other niggas all the time, NIGGA, but you gotta go and call us JIGS?!?! I use nigga all the time but, come on! I hope the ghost of Malcolm haunts your dreams tonight. Second, Barack Obama cannot afford to play favorites, epecially in the public eye. Think about it, if he gets the vote every last black person and mulatto, democratic or republican, he still would be assed out because, we make up less that 20% of the whole nation. He needs to be worrying about this country. Wake the fuck up. Who watches Tavis Smiley? (no offense bruh). He is running for the presidential election, not the chairman of NAACP. (again, no offense) Izrael is right, we dont need another civil rights leader right now, because if we get into the White House things will be better for all of us as a whole.
And another muthafuckin thing that I want to address, just because ur skin isnt the color of charcoal doesnt mean that your any less black. I know plenty of lightskinned niggas that will wear dashikis and African medallions. This has been pissing me off for years, like a dog barking at nothing at midnight, PEOPLE CANNOT ACT BLACK! OK?! I hate it when someone say, oh, Eminem is acting black! There is no such fuckin thing. People act ghetto, or like they have no home training, or even ignorant but not fuckin black. We had a couple of white boys in the hood and they are way more ghetto than ten speeds with systems on them. I am from Michigan (Pontiac) and I have seen that biggest, blackest dudes talk proper and carry themselves in a professional manner, what is he acting white? What the fuck yo?! Y'all need to stop that shit!

You Gotta Start Somewhere!
In middle school, I had dreams of being a journalist. I wrote for my middle school newspaper, which is Earvin "Magic" Johnson's alma mater, you know where he scored like 50 points and sat out the 4th quarter. (Big Ups to Dwight Rich) Writing has always been a passion for me, whether its poetry, current events or just a plain ol journal. Time and time again it has proven to be therapuetic. Though I never went to college for it, this still reamains one of my hobbies. You know people say that rappers like to hear themselves, I like to see my thoughts on a page. And you know what else? Just like music artists, when it comes from the depths of my mind, that it when it is in its best form. Thanks to advances in technology, I can type (or post) my own news and relevant events, and it can be read as if you were reading it from Chicago Tribune itself, there is even room for my glorious editorals!
This is not going to be no online diary or journal, you can forget about that. There will be real life situations posted here, and i want you to comment. There are gonna be a wide range of topics and articles posted here and here are just some of them:
- New Technology
- Sports Talk
- Nex-Gen Gaming
- Newest Kicks and Gear
- Relationships
- Music
Like I said thats jus a few of them, I have a lot of built up What the Fuck?(were you thinking) moments and there is also gonna be the "Silly Negro" section. That will delve into the muthafuckas that try to set us back another 50 years after all that the likes of MLK and Malcom X have done for us Before you open your mouth and talk that shit that you wanna talk, I am gonna let you know that I am black, educated and still in the hood so you can get cussed out and belittled and the same time. I am one of a kind, diamond in the rough, type of nigga that only comes once every 20 years. In conclusion, I would like to thank every single person that passes thru here, and if you actually stop to read, you will be enlightened (fucka comcast).
