Did You Know? 2.0

This makes Since!

I think I’m back to normal!

This Month I’ve managed to make over 70 Entries, Maybe 60 worth reading, But Over 70!! That’s Back to norm on my part!. I feel good about it.  With This Windows live writer, its made it much easier to just Blog offline while making the final edits prior to publishing much easier too.

I currently use it with my wordpress as well. the wordpress account is actually my Marchingsport.com account. it makes things very easy to get things done on it as well.

I guess I can say that This moth has put me back in the blogging game! lol

I just wish I could get them readers again. LOL!

What would you do…

 …with 100 Grand?

Mark Henry just Beat Orton!

and so I guess it’s time for Henry to get his Shine on! I hope WWE allows this to happen. Mark Henry is one of my Fav’s even though his Reigns always end on a Sour note.

Randy Orton was pretty Beat up from The Bash last night, and with tonight’s gauntlet. that  tore him up a bit more. Mark Henry probably would have had a tough time with Orton had Orton been at 100%.

That was the best match up of the night. as for The rest… Who Cares? lol

Massive MJ Second Line in N.O.

They Mentioned it on BET yesterday, They mentioned it On CNN as well as Local News Sources. It should be on Youtube (i’ll find it and posted below). I saw the article on Nola.com. it was great. It included pictures and video. but I don’t think it was RAW enough ya know.. it was Raw.. just not Raw ENUFF!..

Here’s a little Raw Footage

Joe Jackson says “Debbie Rowe Has Nothin’ to do with What We Doin'. “

Keep it Real, Joe!

I really need to see an orthopedic

My lower back has been hurting, I can’t bend over right. My left leg is acting up similar to pre surgery and it also feels very uncomfortable just sitting and standing and walking.

These are all the Pre-Surgery Symptoms, I hope the bone didn't slip out of place again.  I also am hoping it’s not sitting on a nerve again.

If I have to have surgery, I just hope I come out walking again. This stuff is hard. man.. I just wish it would go away. I’ve been trying to relax.

Before yesterday It was worse. I think I eased the pain somehow.

LOL I Hate you JODY!! ..lol

Those Baby Boy Moments were kinda Out there!..

Now that i think about it ..lol The Crowd was SHOCKED to hear Ving Rhames say what he said ..LOL

That was wild.

I just want to get a few more posts in before the night is over. But I’m watching this show.

…yeah!

That ending was cool

even though I though Ne-Yo and Jammie was on the Stage together alittle TOO MUCH!  ..lol

Respect to Mike J. Though!

Maxwell’s Back!!

I might wind up buying that album! that dude’s got dat music! Man his last album came out when i was in High School..

BET Awards were Okay

The show started out pretty Decent.. But at this point it’s getting good, Tributes to Jackson. with T Pain, Neyo Jammie Fox Trey songs,  surprising that Tevin Campbell showed out for the O’Jays.. It’s worth the watch though.

That Tribute to O’Jays is great!.. LOL yeah still watching…

 

I kinda guess I'm Live blogging but LOL.. I'll be back..

 

O’Jays are on stage now.. I’m out

Lets hope I’m good for tomorrow

all day my lower back has been aching, it’s hard to walk straight. I hope it hasn’t slipped out of place again. That would mean another surgery. Every now and then I get these pains, but today and yesterday is has been the worst since I was fixed. Let hope it hasn’t I already feel the tightening in my legs I may have to get an X ray. I hope it’s not touching a nerve.  it’s not my muscle it’s the bone.

I seriously have to loose weight. but How and when! because this stuff hurts. even as i type. I’m sitting up now, but I’m hurting. I’ll lay down in when I’mdone. I’ve been doing so all day.  I should go hop in the tub  before i head to bed though.

That Michael Jackson Second-line Tribute is tomorrow.. Lets hope nobody gets shot!

Song of the Moment | Show You The Way To Go

This song is by the Jacksons

Once again, Rest in peace Michael. but this thread is for something somewhat different as well.

I’d like to dedicated this song to all my Favorite Female friends (aka My Hunnies lol). Especially because i know most of them don’t don’t read this blog.

That song would play every night when I would talk to Bethany, it was one of those songs I seemed to make me feel confident about our Togetherness.  

Now a days I’m Single and Boy am I looking… LOL … Actually that song to me represents a feeling I have as if I can make great things happen between whomever I’m with. Like Magic… wow man, Talk about them Jacksons! ..

Well yeah man.. Sometimes I wish I could find a woman with a positive attitude. one that isn’t bent on being superficial in public. Now I know that sometimes its like that. but I’d rather know the real person. not the person I met while her face is on so to speak.

It kinda hurts knowing those who i ’am interested in have no interest in me.  I’ve been told I was Fat & Ugly By Dudes so who knows what Impression Females get when they SEE me.. because mainly that's what they do. They SEE ME. Not many really want to Know me.  and those who do know me, some only know once side of me.

My favorite females on the other hand, they know many things of me. and I love them for being my my best friends. But I know if it ever came to That level with any of them. it probably wouldn’t last.

There’s one I always talk to. I liked her at one time, I could even see us having a lengthy relationship at some point. I think she’d make a great GF. but I really wouldn’t want to be with her for a long time. She’s one I’d rather remain friends with.

I don’t know man, it’s like, after my only relationship I have this feeling that if i ever get in and out of a relationship with a friend of mine. that we’ll never be friends again. and I think that was proven in the only relationship I’ve had.

There are many out there, only few i find attractive….I just hope I could get one who feels me inside and out.

Note From The Book

I wonder how she’s doing

Okay, The other day I talked to my Girl J, She was going through some things. and well I really hope she get that issue straight,  as much she loves him. I don’t think he’s seeing it to say he’s not happy. I just think she should speak her mind to him about those issues. I love talking to her, but I ain’t her man, ya know.  It would be great if I was, but hey She’s In her own with him now.

She Called like “Ya friend been trippin” .. and i was like Who? lol… she was like Wes.. I said Ahh what happened this time .. When she told me what was up it was like.. all i could do was listen. the best I could do is tell her that she really needs to let him Know how she feels about that.  because other than that he wont understand it until yall aren’t together.  Note. They’ve been together for 4 years.. now he complains that Things are going sour. but she says its because he really isnt doing anything to make it better. he just seems to want her for pleasure and stuntin’ Purposes.. I mean, she’s a beautiful girl with a “Status” because of what she does. but she’s just a regular girl with problems like us all. and what they’re going through can be easily resolved if they could come to an understanding of their needs and wants in their lives together. I love that girl and I hate to see her unhappy.

Trouble in Paradise

Due to sitting at this desk for hours yesterday, I find myself up with Back pains. What sux is that it hurts when I walk. I have to rest my body!.

If you didn’t know. in January 2003 I’ve had surgery on my lower back due to a pinched nerve and herniated disk. Unfortunately I’ll forever have pain in the area. Near my Lumbar because of it.  Today is just one of those days where the pain is Back. I just hope I’m up for Partying Sunday during the Michael Jackson Festivities taking place Sunday. 

It sux that I’m in pain. I should be lying down as we speak. I'll attempt to get rest tomorrow. .. Try to stay in my bed ya know.

It’s been 6 years I don’t want to have to have a surgery again. What I really need to do is lose weight. I’m a heavily uncomfortable fat man. and it’s a very sad thing.

Although I love myself. I dislike the fact that I have this kind of problem.

Nobody’s perfect though ..

Michael Jackson Forever!

 

Michael Jackson has Inspired many in the world that we live. He was a GREAT  talent , the King of it all. The Best Their Is, The Best Their was and the best their ever will be… UNDESPUTED CHAMPION OF MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT!

Michael Is Music. that’s all i can say.

I Grew up singing his Music, dancing to his music Just like everyone else.  The First Movie I could ever remember seeing of Michaels was Moonwalker, back in Pre-K 1988. From then, I was Hooked.  I have been looking at Music Videos all day And it reminds me of My Life coming up and attaching those songs to females i may have liked. or  Things I admired etc. 

I listened to Michaels songs in Every Mood, Happiness, Sadness, Excitement. Love… he has a song for every Mood and situation.  it’s just so amazing.

Michaels Spirit will live on in the world of Music. Through Marching Band, their are many songs our bands have played. of Michael’s and The Jackson Family. it’s just amazing that a Legend Died so soon. 

Forever #1 – Michael Jackson CAN’T DIE!!.. HE’S  MICHAEL JACKSON!

I can’t even speak on it anymore..

Mike Will be Missed *Tear*

Note From The Book

So Crazy of a Day

Yesterday I was all Excited in the beginning because of what went on with mu dad, it was all good. Although I Thought it was weird waking up to the deaths of Farrah Fawcett  and Finding that Ed McMahon died..

But Wow man.. They dun Took Michael Jackson away from us! It’s like.. Michael Jackson CAN’T DIE!!.. it’s too unreal!.. but its real!! I was up all night watching his videos with Qui, Ashley and Corey.. just wild..

I haven’t been to sleep YET!. I need to DO THAT..  I Recently Signed up for “Vyoom” … yeah…

 

it’s a shame, I seriously am shocked, I’m talking to J about it on Gtalk.. she’s saying the same.. wow..

 

It’s wild how you receive a blessing and then you ear of THE MOST SHOCKING DEATH IN LIFE!

Pray for the Jacksons Y’all!

Vyoom Sounds Cool.. So I Joined!

Vyoom: Where Social Activity is Rewarded!

So Amazing, I Still can’t believe it.

Someone asked me what was Mikes best song… I told him that it’s TOO MANY TO NAME!..

Just imagine  How the world of Band will be in the fall 2009 season.

View Full Album

Here’s The JFK High School  Cougar Band 1995 playing Rock With You

 

 

Moonwalker was one of the first movies I could remember seeing. Something huh?..

Wow, Michael Jackson is Dead at 50

and I have no words to describe how I feel about that. other than  I’m SHOCKED!!

Michael Jackson IS MUSIC! he is the pure definition of what a true Artist is. I could just imagine how football season will be. All the bands will play his music in tribute.

I Seriously cant believe it!.. oh man

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

1958-2009

 

Unbelievable!!

 

 

I just received some great news

All I’m hoping for is that it is true. This way things will be good on our part, at least for a while. Lets just hope this thing goes through.. Wow man. how amazing a day!

Dang Ya wake up and everybody is dyin!

Farrah Fawcett dies.. after her Cancer battle.

Sux and I Didn’t realize that Ed McMahon died earlier this week. That's a shocker.

That’s Wild to me… Ed McMahon was the Host of Many Things. He was the Man…

That’s too many famous people dying in the same week though man.. Wow!

I should be sleeping

Truth is, I have nothing on my mind at the moment.

I've been observing some things lately and well, none are in my favor. I do find it funny that after I wrote the Dear Jessica Quote from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” in my Facebook status,  Jaren posted “hey Jessica Rabbit” on her page.. lol I wonder why? I guess he knows man. LOL  it doesn’t matter. In fact though. who framed Roger Rabbit is one of her favorite movies.

… I want a Girl I Can See… LOL!

Oh and as for my Girl in Tx,, It could be her voice .. depending on her tone.. but yeah.. Im not Clairvoyant but I know that isn't going to happen for me……

 

sometimes honestly I just get tired of Being “The Friend” .. but hey.. that's just me.

The End Product

So I’m Done with the Editing for now. what do you Think?

On To Another thing though….

I was sitting here talking about Printers, but at the same time, I was thinking of Her.. it’s just something about her other than looks that has seem to grasp my attention. I’m not sure what It is though.  Ever since that moment of Connectivity it’s been a little weird just thinking about it.

She’s One of my best friends and I know she isn't feeling me like that. and I really don’t think I should tell her what I’m feeling because I think it would run her away from me. so IMO keeping her as the friend she Is, is good enough for me. at the same time, I wouldn’t want anybody who knows me to know about that attraction. because when things get across her “dude”. he gets shady. that’s my boy and i wouldn’t disrespect him by “Blocking” so to speak.  that's One reason I wouldn’t don’t want to let my feelings show.  At the same time, She’s not the one I’m truly after. it’s just that The Connection we’ve made as friends has had a big affect my emotions.  and If you’re somebody i talk to all the time  it’s probably not you LOL..

I’m Referring to the one that called my phone on fathers day ..I know she won’t see this, but if she does. She Knows who she is.

as for that other girl.. for my readers y’all already know! lol

 

Note From The Book

That Kodak All In One Printer is a BEAST

Well yeah, I just reinstalled it the right way. I’ll add the software to mine real soon, wirelessly.

 

My Mom bought a new KODAK ESP3 AIO printer for herself due to the last one we had going bad. Eventually I saved the print cartridges and am currently using it for my HP Deskjet F4135 in my room. we have all or Printers Networked. But I rarely use the HP printer. it was for my cousin but she didn't want it. I most recently installed the proper software for it so I’m good with it!

Here’s an Image of my moms printer

it does wonders with the push of a BUTTON!.. and that software is a BEAST!

Here’s an Image of my lame Deskjet

 

I Haven’t really got a chance to EXPLORE it, but now that I have the proper Software I’ll make an attempt to do so

Note From The Book

Here’s a Preview

This is what I’m talking about, The Entry title bar. It looks good to me, but I may have to go darker. I don’t like the way it looks with gold.

I might Try going with a Black gradient.

Okay an Idea just came to mind

What Im going to do is add a Bar to the entry title maybe a maroon one. It will probably do best too! .. thats all i really have to say in this entry i'll have to see how that looks. in a few minutes.
If I don't like it, or start to dislike it in the long run, I'll get rid of it ..lol

Should i Change the Color?

Aight, I know that Changing the color of this blog would be a HUGE DEAL around these parts, LOL. I remember back when it had the Green background. It was kind of ugly. but It worked for me then. LOL.. I’ve had The Green Bricks, Brown Bricks, Grey Bricks and so on. and the color scheme was almost always the same, other than the time I made the title in B&W it didn’t last long though.

I’m not really getting Tired. I just assume that my readers may be.

One of the reasons I still type my Closure in orange is because of my blog being so green in the beginning. I’ve tried other colors but i guess it really doesn’t stand out like Orange.. LOL

If I do, Which colors should I use?

Power Back On

About a good hour ago we had a power outage in my area. I thought it was only Me. so I called my sister to tell her. Then I went to check with a neighbor who was out working on his home. He told me that it was the whole Block, he mentioned that he saw when the lights from the Walgreens went out and he figured we were out.. LOL  I was like, I almost though The bill wasn’t paid ..LOL

From there I awaited for the Entergy guy to turn the lights on. It started to get hot too.  Just imagine, I was getting Hungrier by the minute. I was warming Hot dogs prior to the lights going out. so that SUCKED. I was in here listening to my music and junk and BAM! no power . talk about Halting my Music Relaxation Experience for the moment..

Well. I’m back online Now of course. This means MUSIC!!

I may be getting ready to throw another Wrestling Video on in a second. so be on the lookout for that maybe later on tonight or some time tomorrow.

I FAILED!!

So Today, I received an email saying This Basically..

This letter is to inform you that have earned a failing score on the 9001-ACTIVE COAST Office Skills Test.

Sux For Me!!! .. I thought I did well. They didn’t even give me a score!. I’m talking to my sister now. She Passed!

The State Test seemed easy, I think I failed the because the whole thing is BUBBLE IN! ..lol .. well I’m good though. I’ll just go find a job doing something to get paid..

I know my brother’s going to ask about  this.. he got TRIP when i tell him.. but hey. it’s not like there’s a way to study for That ..LMAO..

Fathers Day with the Family

Gotta love it!.. lol I have a few pictures and very little to say.

It was nice out there to day.. HOT TOO!! .. but hey. It was great being with my kinfolks Taping and taking pictures of Things that happen.  Yep.. Here are a Few Snapshots

Getting ready to head out in a minute. This should have been done earlier but I have to wait on my folks, smh. my dad really didn’t want to go out …but oh well  We’ll be out in a minute.

And Rest In Peace to My Late Grandfather who We will be celebrating the life of Today in City Park.

I’ll be out recording and taking pictures as usual.  Later! yall..

Here’s a Logo Thingy I did, I hopes it looks good when i post it up on the site tonight.

That New Nair Shower Power Works Wonders!

At least it Did for Me, Maybe Not for some other folks Down in the Activity Pit… Although they may be right, I wouldn’t know.

Now, You might be asking, “What kind of man uses a Product advertized for Women”. Well .. A Grown  Man With a Hairy Back THATS WHO!, and Besides, I bought It before the advertisement came out. Also. I’ve had it for nearly a month and had Never used it.

Now Before I truly get started. I want to say that I have No shame in using this product. nor sharing it here or discussing it with friends if need be. Because at the end of the day. it Beats using a razor and getting hair bumps all the time.  I've had hair on my back ever since about 2003. Seems like after having back surgery it just came on and since then has gotten thicker. Other than that I’ve had the Taco meat chest since high school. LOL folks used to Talk about me because i was sweaty  and perspired a lot.  It’s the same reason why I carry a Big Towel with me to this day… That may be a little besides the point of using Nair, But  my point is, having the hair gets uncomfortable after a while so I’d shave. but it seems as if its not enough.  So I had to do something about it and I think I made the right choice with Nair Shower Power.

With that said, I’ve bought shaving lotions for my face to prevent razor bumps in the past. but nothing like this. It works  as advertized. all you have to do is follow the instructions on the back.

With a Brother like me who just cant Shave my back nor actually Apply, I had my mother apply both coats to my back as i did my chest and stomach area. I let it sit for nearly 10 minutes as I shaved my face and prepared my shower.  I Proceeded to Shower. Then with a Swipe of the sponge a whole Heap of hair came off my chest.

That made me feel Great too. because in the past with razor bumps and things This was just Amazing!  I didn’t think it would work. I also got most of my back hair off. When I finished showering I had my mom throw another coat on a spot that i couldn’t remove from my back.  Other than that.  It worked GREAT! I’d recommend that for anyone who needs to remove body hair. 

Now All I Need is MORE!! Why? Because I may have to use it on some other parts.. yeah yeah.. Them parts .. BUT HEY IM A MAN .. Sometimes the beast has to release itself from the midst of the Jungle! ..LMAO! without it, it makes you feel REFRESHED!

Did I Mention that This was the New Thick Formula? ..lol well yeah It is, There are a few people on Youtube giving Reviews on how It didn’t work on their Legs. Well hey. it Sure worked on my Torso. It’s the same one as the picture shows.

I’ll be Getting some sleep in a minute. But I’ll say one thing. Ay Brothers out there. If you are looking for something to remove that hair. whether you want it or not…LOL.. Try This Product! it’s a little under $10.00 at Walgreens.

I guess the only risk would be damaging your skin if instructions aren’t followed.

It Works I Tell You! Believe The Book!

Blogging: The Thing I Love

So I just got through reading Two Blogs in relation to blogging and microblogging. @ one of the Blogs (Renaissance Black Woman ) I saw this quiz about being addicted to blogs.
Here's my Result Only 6% More Addicted than her. LOL.
67%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

Well Hey, After reading those posts about blogging I kinda sorta felt like taking that quiz. I also want to touch on .. but first, I'll let you know why I blog and how i've progressed ( I guess)

OKAY! .. HERE GOES!!

I Actually started blogging basically because I needed a way to get things off of my chest. most of those things were personal situations that couldn't post on an open message board. I figured that if i blogged. I'd maybe get comments from folks. I never expect people who personally know me to become daily readers. although I've found out on a few occasions where my sister had read my blog to find things out about my first and Onl relationship. but that really didn't matter to me as much. it doesn't change my blogging style.

Back in 2004, everybody was singing up for xanga's and myspace which at the time was very similar to Xanga. people used them to blog. at the time. blog sites werent being syndicated. I saw those sites but i figured that If i'm going to blog, I don't want to be connected directly to people I know. I'd rather have them comment anonymously if need be. Therefore I joined Blogger.com. why? Because it's specifically for blogging. I still have friend who use xanga, but back then it was like a fad. folks i know stopped using it long before myspace got popular. at the same time. people who wrote in their Xanga's didnt realize that they were Blogging. THAT's why the site went out of style so fast... the folks who use it now are mainly true Bloggers.

I Officially started this Blog in January 2005. Within days of welcoming myself to the page. I had Relationship issues, as well as fun stuff to blog about within months i had death in the family. i blogged about that as well. There were many Crazy things I blogged about as well. Different things as it relates to my life, Technology, Forum postings, Photos, random quizzes and things on TV. I had made a few Thousand Views by then. My Blog wasnt as Kewl as it is now.

With "Life" Occouring, the biggest thing since i started my blog was the oncoming of katrina. 4 days before Katrina i added the hit counter to the site. due to my blog posts during the weeks after katrina. it landed on CNN as well as many other things. Thats when I realized that people were REALLY reading.

I used to have 60+ Entry's a month, I slacked up after 2006. i came to N.O and I couldnt blog everyday. i even vowed to not blog as much by waiting till many things to happen before i actually post an entry. I had Entres I called "Silent blogs" back in 06 mainly because I didnt have online access. since then though. Slacked off alot. at the same time. I realized that over the years. i've become better at writing and everything. .. I' still do write BAD but just Not as bad..LOL!!

In Recent times, I Have been Blogging at my old normal pace. but not only with personal entries. Sometimes I blog to show off videos I have made. or to inform the people that things are going on. Sites like facebook have been part of the reason I don't write here as much. But at the same time. It gave me a reason to begin blogging Normally... Why? .. it's because people have gotten so fixed on Microblogs, I felt that it was the perfect time to allow my complete thoughs roll out in here. Because it's not "whats hot" right now.

I've blogged about how I feel about Twitter users in the recent past, they don't know what they're doing, they only know that like facebook or myspace hat they're Commenting to status changes. They really dont understand the Twitting concept. .. there are great reasons to use Twitter now. but i refuse too. I've even tried a twitter alternative purposely but it wasnt "for me" .. LOL ..At this point. I Still change my status on facebook to get reactions from friends.. I just dont understand people who say "go check my twitter" in their facebook statuses when they could just write what ever they want to write in their facebook status boxes ..lol and the odd part is that some of them have private twitters. yet they allow anyone to "follow" them

I've been Blogging for nearly 5 years and I plan on being a forever blogger. I may even get a Dot com Domain soon. With that said. I just may call it a night. BUT FIRST!!.. i think I must say this...

I appreciate the people that read my blog, even if i you don't comment on it. sometimes it makes me feel weird when people tell me they read my blog. but hey My Blog is public. Why would i put something online if i didn't want people to see it? lol yeah this is my personal blog. but it's how i share my life with the world. and i'd rather stick to detaild posting rather than an incomplete thought. I would like it if other Bloggers and readers decide to follow my blog by clicking the google friend connect. I know that following was a 'twitter" thing. but hey. it's worth it if you want to keep up with other blogs.

I love the way This site has the host (blogger) as upgraded since the time i started. I'm not like the greatest writer in the world but hey. I plan on Keeping this service. And with a Name like "Note From The Book" . I should Trademark that title ..lol many people assume that i'm either writing a book or that i wrote a book. .. NOOOO! .. Book is my alias .. reffering to myself as "The Book" .. as for the Title. oddly enough with me I got the idea from Published Books, You know how theirs allway the Page that has an Authors Thesis usually titled "A Note from the books editor" or "Notes from the Author" .. Writing these Entries are like writing "Notes".. and according to Facebook. They ARE notes ..LOL so hey.. even though my blog was created before facebooks existance LOL.. yeah.. The Title is Basically ABOUT ME! .. You wan't to know anything about me. it's all here for You!

The Cameras I've Owned Since 2002

In 2003 I had this Cheap Digital cam a Vivitar Vivicam 10. I believe it ws a 3.0 megapixel cam. around that time 3 megapixels was "standard" ..LOL it did me well for the time. even tho my pics were blury as hell
My 2nd camera was the an HP 3.1 cam, it did me good, Simple but low quality video. I used it a LOT..

I had the Fuji Finepix s5100 when my small cam broke in 2004... til 2007
it went bad in like 06 so i bought a new one, it was a 5mp

2008 i had that s5800 it did me well. I loved it.. But it Fell too many times.. 8 megapixels

now i use the fujifilm s2000hd its fine for me now.. but i'll upgrade when the time comes

The Owls are Hooting

I've realized that the things I say Truly matter to people a long time ago. but now I see that I have a few people watching my posts and going back to Figure me out. I guess they don't trust my judgement.

Here's what happened. I Had a Conversation with a Girl, Lets Just call her "Girl-E"
we were talking via facebook and she shared her thoughts with me about expectations for he upcoming tryout session ...

The same day On The Band site I run, I posted the Direct opinion of Girl-E on the website. .. So yesterday I got a message from her saying "I was informed that you mentioned a conversation we had on your site, please refrain from mentioning my name" .. so I said "yeah .. Cool"

Which means that SOMEBODY's Watching me and assumes that im lying. I bet when Girl-E confirmed it was true and they felt stupid..

Either that or they just started hooting to be messy.. as if I didnt know what i was talking about.

lol but you know what. at this point I just want people to understand that when I say something as it regards to a marching bands & discussing events with people that it is certain. I would not say anything to exploit those females in any form.

I feel that It's best to get the thoughts, and opinions from the Actual members of these squads rather than believing the lies and rumors that are usually posted here. as an administrator of this site. it's my responsibility to release factual information.

With that said, To all those Non believers, who are Watching me... I will not lie when it relates to the people I speak with. Therefore, No Confirmation is needed when I speak of these dancers. Please Note, If info gets to me it's usually true. I would not sit up here and spread false information on a site that i am running.

those who Know me honestly and truthfully. Know That I speak In support of all of those dancers

Those who feel the need to investigate my posts. i guess you've seen the light.

SMH... How can you do that to me when i said nothing wrong.. how could you not believe me. as admin of that site my goal is to always have these members viewed in a positive light.
...
I don't understand why they question my authority....

And Then I was RIGHT! ya know!..lol

If only I could let her know how I really feel.

Honestly, I've been lying to people and lying to myself when I say that I have no feelings for her and that she's just a good friend. Truth is.well Yeah she Is a one of my best friends. but it's wild because I would not mind being her man. She probably knows that I'm attracted to her, but being that I'm not showing it. she probably is good Knowing that with that. It would be great to make that final connection. but she's been with the same dude for years. and I'll never step in a mans way to take his girl. I have no intentions on doing so. infact. he's cool people. It's just that I have a habit of denying my true feelings for her because I'm so cool with her. She's told me about a situation where one of her fiends used to be her BF. and when they talk he starts trying to push himself back in to her life because he assumes that she want's him in hat way. But she doesnt like that. so she'd all me. I enjoy talking to her. and because of how i am. I really respect who she is and I won't cross that line with her.. but some times I wish it could be more.

She's not single and I couldn't be the one try to take her away from her dude. I like to call her my "hunnie "as well as complement her looks, i know her dude won't like it. but he assumes that everybody is after her anyway. but iono man. i guess I feel this way because i know so much.. at the same time. The Connection was made back in March and. I know she felt it at the same time she cant act on that.. there is so much i wan't to say. but I can't explain it. nor could I tell her in person. nor online. I'm talking to her on Gtalk now.

it's crazy how I get with women. I'm a very shy guy. but when around friends i'm very much open. it's just that I'm not sure how to release my feelings to a female without running them off by saying to much. at the same time. I wouldn't want to be with them because i have this weird fear of loosing friends. it's like. I know that Dating someone would tarnish a friendship as it has for me in the past.

I just want to get it through that I do. I know others see it. I think its cool. I told her that I even claimed her a few times. it sure makes me look good. LOL. It's a shame because a friend of mine who also told me that I was a Captain hopper and it's almost true. but it's not that. its just that these girls bestow the qualities I want in a woman. LOL. at the same time. It's hard to focus on just one.

For me, Being Single is Cool. yet at the end of the day it's a lonely place. and if i could get me a good one i'd be happy.

Explanation of what I'm Feeling

Honestly, If somebody knew exactly how i felt they'd understand. but they wont.

I Honestly feel that I'm missing something or maybe someone In my Life. which is it. I don't know. But what I really need to do is Relax my body and mind. after an eye opener. it's like. I need a new way of adapting to real life again. I've been Inside so long til the point that all the people a socialize with are happen through electronic devices.

I really need to free myself and go out and step into the darkness for a little while. What I mean by that is.. Just going out to socialize with people just because I can.. I was at Wal Mart Yesterday and it was like a Primitive Moment.. As if I was Just Exploring how Humans Behave again. .. it was so weird.. but it was real..

Iono.. Man, I just need to get out more. at this point I really can't explain. it's like. I'm stressed out because I'm always home Being nothing. .. I find Joy in being out. but at the same time. it depends on what I'm doing.. This is a great time to free my mind..

.. it's like, The way things Happen and my associations with people are just cool. but most of those people I don't see in real life at all. They're hundreds of miles away. I mean man, I love my Friends but Its not like I can just up and see them every time i wanted too.

So Crazy.. honestly I miss being around them. I wish i could be around them More. but maybe its time for me to just get out and be Gone.. away from Negro Technology ..LOL

yeah I guess............. I'll be Back on Later

Note From The Book

Talk About Stress Relief

Today I'll be going WWE: Extreme Rules! ..

I really need something like THAT to take my mind off of the Daily Grind. I've been stressing myself out over Nothingness. it's time for a change. I've been trying to talk more with "AI". But I guess Texting with a general but non-continuous reply doesn't help me on my part. so I didn't TxT back. but even getting that was cool .lol

I talked to Alicia about getting a new cam. she's got a Canon i wonder what kind though.. shew I need a Nikon.

Speaking of that. I talked to Quisha about how now days everybody wants to be some form of entertainer or Model. Not a Bad thing. But yet its like Everybody wants to be a Celebrity.. thats not Good.. When I go on facebook its like. everybody wants to be a Model or something.. My thing is this, If everybody gets their chance to be a model. who will be there to take their pictures? Everybody wants to be The Star. Nobody thinks about the guy behind the camera. lol

It's like. without Media people. Celebs would be lame.

Shame, I just got up

After a Day of no Sleep. I wake up and it's 1:30.. So I guess I'll reflect on yesterday.

I stood up all day night before last because I was talking to Ashley about EVERYTHING as usual. I expected to be leaving at about 9:am to head to wal mart but nah. my Brother and Nephew didnt get Ready.. in fact my nephew was up all night as well and fell asleep. I tried my hardest not to sleep and I found myself exhausted by the end of the day.

We wen't to walmart at about 3pm. The one on Tchoupitoulas LOL "The St. Thomas Wal-Mart" .. I we made it there and i see FRED with the HEAD! .. man I havent seen that dude since 2002... I spoted Him and His Wife Onya LOL i think im spellin that right ..LOL .. AND HIS KID! ..lol they have been together since we all were at Kennedy. I had to get his number because he has the Band FOOTAGE i Need! ..lol .. Other than that I saw Dejuan in there.. yeh Dejuan from my Phillips days ..LOL.. Man I havent seen THAT kat since Pre Katrina too. LOL

I'm tellin ya, you go to That Wal-Mart at any given time and you WILL spot folks you know.. The only thing i HATE is that. It's The Hood Walmart .. TOO MANY PEOPLE were in there ..LOL it was like Being in The Hood FO REAL.. shew man when u think about it .. It was the Hoods Replacement ..LOL.

Wow man.. Uhh.. When I got home I was Too Tired. I took a Nap on the sofa and Avoided having to watch my nephew ..lol.. I think i went in at about 7 or 8 and JUST got up ..LOL

Ain't That Something.. Honestly yall.. I'm Stressing and I need More Sleep. Too Much Death is happening and between That and the Non Sleep.. Yeah. I need some REST

We All Have Things We Go Through..

And then their are other things..

The Big News this week in the HBCU World is Professor Edwards Death & now Yesterday's Funeral Services. According to Adran as well as a few others it was Beautiful. I'm still waiting on Footage other than the News Video. I Have Yet to post anything of the funeral. to the main Marchingsport website. but I will soon.

Also today Niqueta's Funeral. ...One Unforgettable Life will be laid to rest. Thank you for being you. you've served your purpose. She's been a blessing to many, Now her life is celebrated by her family and friends all over the south as well.



Although this doesnt Fit in here, Yesterday I got some bad news from my friend Quisha, after a day without conversing with her by phone. she told me she needed me for comfrort. unfortunately I didn't call anytime that day. Well a Friend of hers was killed after a fight. the guy was shot in his face and run over by the guy who shot him. this all happened infront this guys mother. How sad. That is the kind of thing that makes me sick. Even after discussing Murder and death with her prior to this guy being killed. Sensless acts of Violence in Louisiana. SMH.

At times I don't know what to say about murderous crime other than the fact that cowards Kill.

Young Jeezy's Thoughts on a Black Easter Bunny

I've been looking at 2-cent.com videos today, all due to that boy B-Mike posting this video
Young Jeezy / Black Easter Bunny

It's real funny, you should check it out. I love their work, very creative. not easy to do. but very productive. I'm glad its a home grown project as well. i hope they become a big thing. because they represent the cities youth in a great way.

Check them out at this website http://2-cent.com/

They Call Me J Simpatico, cuz I B Simpatico

lol Pardon Me, I just learned a New Word that kinda-sorta represents what people say about me. Many who have met me or know who I am say that I'm "Good" or "Nice" as in the way I am.

Honestly, I was Looking at a Picture I was took of myself yesterday and i said "Man, That's Kind of a sinister look on my face. at the same time. I thought, why look at it as being sinister. So that's when I thought.. Why Not Be "Nice" ..lol


Therefore Simpatico

Although the Origin comes from the word sympathy, It it's an adjective for Likable and Pleasing. IMO It Suits me just right, so I'm Good! ..

.. Thats why I Chose This for a Facebook status and Title of this Entry ..lol
They Call Me J Simpatico, cuz I B Simpatico

(J for Joshua. B for Book) .LOL

Hurricane Preparedness

I got the State of New Orleans Address by mail .. yesterday part 4 came... Honestly I didn't read it because Technically I know the State of Turmoil already. but Truly, The main focus of the letter was Hurricane Preparedness. With that said. it's already in the news, there is some kind of depression in the Ocean somewhere... But really though..Am I ready for a Hurricane? NO.

First off, I need a Good and Large Duffel Bag for my goods. Other than that. I'm Broke and we All know why. .. now, with that said.. LOL.. I realize that many are buying Portable Digital TV's. My mom bought one last year. It's real nice.

I hope we DONT have to evacuate this year for ANYTHING. ..I just don't want to deal with sleeping on a floor this summer ..LOL.. .. Shame. Its 4:43. I should be sleeping. Oddly enough This is the only time i really can blog without being bothered. Weird huh?

"Back to Reality"

I Believe that If their are any hurricanes, They'll all Be Weak. The Hurricane Center wont always be right. at the same time. it's best to be safe than sorry.

..Just a Thought

I Saw a Clip of North Korea's Nuke Test Footage. The Explosion was GREAT!.... If only USA Could send a Missile Through the Eye of a hurricane. I think it would Stop the Hurricane all together. because the Explosion would most likely change the wind patterns due the power of the blast. with the mixture of the smoke and water particles all in the air. it would just make the storm Go away.. at least that's My theory.

I seriously believe it could be done.

cool site, but not really

So I registered an account with Plunk.com., I don't think im going to have it for long. I only got it because I was looking for Twitter clones. The weird part is that This one is like Twitter with a timeline. Plunk is kinda cool, Kinda Slow. but it works. I don't think it will Last.

It's a Canada based company, and the interface is real simple use. I wont be adding the widget to my sidebar though. because I don't Expect to have it for a long period of time. I'm using it as a Status updater for a facebook account I've been using only to play Mobwars with. at the same time. I still will not get Twitter. LOL

The thing is though. I guess i signed up to Pretend to be someone that really doesnt exist. But it's cool. It's funny Because Instead of a Bird and Tweeting, its a Fish and Your Plunking ..LOL

The coolest thing is that you plunk in Real-Time so to speak ..LOL.

Anybody using it and want to add me... can connect to me through This Link.. but please dont expect me to my hyperactive on this site. .. but do expect random madness.

Click HERE. My name on it is O.Micron "Omicron".

it never fails

i just ruined a good pair of pants again!! .. well not really. My Pocket RIPPED on the left side . The stitches where the pocket attache's to the waist area.. This is like the 3rd GOOD PAIR of pants I ripped in this way in a 2 year period .. SUX! ..

i guess I'll sow them together.

I'm not a Voice to be heard

Well, No I am. LOL...

I've been thinking about Podcasting or atleast Voice blogging or what ever you call it these days. Cheese Biscuit has been asking and encouraging me to start a talk radio show. i've been thinking about it for months now. Last time i tried, it was a failed attempt. Technically it was a radio show. but I canceled my account. Infact i think i still have software from that program on here.

What I want to do though is have something online where i can be free to say what I want. but yet on the order of a Morning show. ya know? .. at the same time. i don't think people would want to hear me .. bad enough, i'm not a good writer. sometimes i don't see why people read this blog..

I just want to broadcast myself! LOL .. I need "Black & Blues Radio" to make the return ya know. LOL..

Smooth Jazz and Acid Jazz sounds good about this time of morning.. .. I should be heading to bed now..

Another one about Niqueta

Today I logged on. knowing she won't be there, but oddly enough her name was user name online. Honestly it made me smile for a moment. but thinking about it made me sad. Her PC was left on.

I talked Via facebook and IM to a few people about it. there's a thread on SWACFans.com about her death, unfortunately my account locked so I couldn't say much.

May 31st... it's like you logged off and left us forever. .. so unexpected..

Something.. Just Something..

My Condolences to her family. and to all those also mourning her loss.

May her Soul rest peacefully.

A Friend Gone So Soon

I got some shocking news as i logged on to facebook Sunday night. I saw the status of a Friend of Mine saying "Rest in Peace Niqueta Redd" Just seeing that Shocked Me... I went to her page and her last status was "I'm not feeling so well this morning" .. and sadly sometime Sunday evening she passed.

What a Shocker.. I Honestly am still speechless, knowing that she battled with heart troubles and also had a succesful heart transplant. It saddends me to know that That she died on us..

it's like like I was Just IMing with her the other day telling her how i was glad to be making strides with getting my fraternity organized. .. It's wild because I wanted to continue that conversation. but I wasn't logged in on YIM till after I heard about her Passing. She Even posted on My Facebook page yesterday.. I typed "Discovery Channel, Woo!" and she replied "That was my QTPi Name" Refering to the Sorority she belonged to.

Here it is.. (May 30th Entry)



We Met back in 2005 during the SWAC classic events... She was one of the coolest people I've met from the SWACfans site.

here's something she wrote about me back in December 2007 in her "Love Y'all" Entry on her facebook notes.. it wasn't Much, but I appreciated it

Joshua - Bookman "Yams" come on dude ...new word ha ha. But really you bring a special spark to our conversations as RANDOM as they may sometimes be.

As a Friend I respected her greatly, just seeing that .. I'm tearing up just reading that.. yeah "Yams" is one of my crazy innuendos .glad to know that i was part of "The COALITION" too ..lol

Well.. I'm Just letting you know That I'm shedding Tears for you.. cause i can't really say anymore.. you just left us all without warning.. So unexpected.. Wow........

Rest In Peace Niqueta Williams, "May 31 2009" You'll be missed.
