Too much or too little?

Is it ok to show too much or too live attention? That’s a question that a few friends and I have been discussing for the past few days. This trip has really given me a chance to explore different things and truthfully, I wish I wasn’t enjoying myself so much because I am now wondering if I should move back here for good. Yes, it would be tough at first but then again what would I lose?

So my dude Bobby is an introvert; he met this girl Tyna, who’s an extrovert. And while Bobby is not afraid to show his feelings, he’s cautious and very careful. Tyna on the other hand, she’s always telling him how she feels etc. They haven’t known each other for a long period of time so Bobby doesn’t see the need to show this girl too much affection too early into the relationship. Now, if I was asked this question a year ago, I would tell him to just put all his cards on the table and if she doesn’t jump on it, then, let it be. But now I feel differently about it. So I told him to do what he feels is best. But my friend Marco, who’s an extrovert, thinks that Bobby should reciprocate Tyna’s act and she let her in on his feelings even though its only been a short period of time and they haven’t even spent that much time alone with each other.

But then again, if Bobby doesn’t express his feelings, she’ll probably start wondering about him and where she fits in; so either way, he’s in the dog house. Too much or too little??? I am not sure if ther’s even an answer to that. You probably just have to follow your instincts and see what happens.

Express yourself if you have something to say about this topic…

History...Are you ready?

It’s a beautiful day in the nation’s capital and here I am chillin with some friends and we’re debating whether or not to buy into this ‘change’ motto. I am not questioning his motives or his experience, it’s a matter of me buying into it. I don’t care if the world is ready or not; I could careless if my hommies think I am a bad person for not embracing this candidate from the get-go, my thing is, will it benefit me? What are the advantages of voting for him verses the other dude? Will things improve that significantly if he is elected? Those are some of my questions and here we are, in one of the world’s best cities, we’re unable to enjoy the fall weather because we’re too busy discussing this election.

I wonder what Haiti would be like if we all took the time to share our opinions before casting that vote. Peace and love folks. Nov 4, 2008, history is upon us. Are you ready?

Less than a month to go

So let's than a month to go and Obama is leading in all the polls. More people have been registered in the history of voter registration and things are looking very bright for the democratic party. I know a lot of African Americans can't believe but its about to happen folks. A black man is going to lead the most powerful nation in the world. so what does that mean for African Americans? What does it mean for people of color?

Yes, Obama is a different kind of brother but we must take into account that he is the most complete brother to have ever run for the big one. He didn't just anihilate McCain in last night's debate, he sent the guy packing. Actually McCain fired 2 of his advisors this morning, one for writing a very racial satire and the other for some bogus reasons. To make matters worst, mcCain's wife jumped on Obama on some vote he failed to cast.

It's going to happen but its not going to be pretty. We're 27 days to election day and every single day is going to bring a different accusation, different poll numbers and more WALL STREET alerts.

Hope y'all ready for the ride. Keep it cool folks. If you immigrants can't vote, go to church and pray for a better America.

UNITE THE PEOPLE, UNITE THE CAUSE, UNITE THE POWER

The time is fast approaching for the long awaited first annual Rap Kreyol: Unity is Power Benefit Concert in Port-au-Prince, Haiti


MIAMI, FLORIDA, October 2008- In Haiti, the current life expectancy is 51 years of age and 80 percent of the population are currently living below the poverty line. It is often easy for us to forget how lucky we are as a nation. Despite this, two companies are coming together to make an impact on Haiti; Shakaitutu and Prodg (Prodigy) Promotions have come together to unite the cause and unite the power.

Both based in South Florida, Shakaitutu is a multi-service production company with a strong collection of clients within the Haitian entertainment industry and Prodg Promotions is an organization founded to help promote the “achievements, efforts and good will” of Haitians in America. Prodg’s mission is “to create and foster a sense of national unity and pride in the Haitian-American community living and working in the US and abroad.” They do this, “by educating, inspiring, and motivating one another and by helping to foster, both in the Haitian Diaspora and in the US as a whole, the most positive perception of Haitians” (prodgentpromos.com).

At the beginning of organizing this ground breaking and extraordinary concert, these two companies were a separate entity. Now, however, they have come together to unite as one for the good of the Haitian community. Both companies felt that in order to spread their positive message to the people, they had to unite themselves in order to unite the people and the cause.

The purpose of this concert is to inspire entity to Haitians both living abroad and in Haiti. Not only did Shakaitutu and Prodg Promotions come together for this event but artists from the US, Canada, France, and Haiti are also coming together for the spectacular and humanitarian event to unite the power. Some of the headliners include Bennchoumy, Mister G, Tiwony, and I & I (from South Florida).

This concert will go on to benefit not one but two organizations in Haiti: Ecole Vincent (School of St. Vincent) and Theo’s Work, Inc. Ecole Vincent is both a school and a clinic for children with visual, mental, and orthopedic problems while Theo’s Work Inc is a non-profit organization founded to support humanitarian efforts in the South of Haiti.

The event will take place on December 20, 2008 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and is expecting to have approximately 5,000 people in attendance. If you can’t make it to the event, the event will be coming to you as it will be broadcasted live on HaitiStream.com, as well as recorded and rebroadcasted on local network television, both in the Caribbean and in the USA.

Not only will concert goers be able to enjoy music from this genre from all around the world but they will also be able to see the joyous look on the children’s faces when they are presented with gifts just in time for the holidays. The Shakaitutu team has been collecting both money and toys for the children in order to surprise them this holiday season.

Making a difference is what made these two companies collaborate and become one; there’s no telling what they cannot achieve and with this collaboration they will be unstoppable for they have the skills, the talent, and the powerful hearts needed to succeed. The time is now to get involved; the time is now to unite the people, the cause, and the time is now to unite the power.

The Good Ol US of A...How do you see it?

Who would have imagined the nightmare that this country now faces? That crock of s**t in Iraq and now the financial meltdown of the country. When Bush first won, I gave this brain deficient the benefit of the doubt and said okay give him a chance and let’s see where this goes. Eight years later I can't believe the amount of damage this assh*le and some of our congressional leaders have done to America. That war with Iraq has to top the list, all that money, time, and lives wasted on that part of the world. When will we learn that whenever we get involved with The Middle East, we get the shaft?

Iraq, Iran, and Israel. The three I's that cause the rest of the world to go down the toilet. They blow up s**t,hate each other and we have to play referee. Let that part of the planet slaughter each other. When the smoke clears, we deal with whoever is on top. Just don't get involved and we'll save a lot of stress over that anus part of the planet. We have thrown away so much money on that cesspool that we lack the cash to take care of our own nation. Too busy worrying about foreign policy and our place in the world's standings. When are we going to get a leader with the balls to say "F**k You”, we’re going to take care of ours first.


Foreign Aid should be the first to fall. Stop sending billions of dollars overseas trying to buy friendship. Your country has a problem with money; don’t come knocking on our door because we have our own headaches and people to sweat over.

But all that is chump change compared to the economic meltdown that is around the corner. The bailout is in full effect. A lot of other people outside of New York and Wall Street saw it as being a handout to a bunch of greedy and dishonest bankers. Maybe they're right. That "hick" in the Midwest and out West may have more brains than some of those Harvard-Yale grads. When FDR was elected president, he was faced with a crisis a lot bigger than the one we face now. He heard the same doom and gloom scenario that this clueless Treasury Secretary was screaming about last week. (You want a blank check for over seven hundred-fifty billion and no restrictions as to how the money is doled out? His ass was shocked when Congress said NO!....Your current plan is not acceptable. Take your ass back and draw up something more workable). Which they did.


Roosevelt did not panic nor was he rushed into anything. He kept his cool and used his smarts to get America out of the mess it was in. He did not listen to or give in to the so-called experts. He weighed all the options; all the while he kept Wall Street cooling its heels. He ignored the noises of disaster and led. I can't imagine Bush being in the same camp because he gets on the national airwaves begging for the American people to back up his plan for giving away all that money in one fell swoop.
This lamebrain had to be kidding, all this happened on your watch. You saw it coming and you did nothing because once again we involved in Iraq and the foolishness there. People want to vote for McCain and that's their right. Yet we can't afford four years of this craziness. I don't see the senator as being a Bush clone, but he has voted along too many lines to think that he won't be. What really blows me away is that all this mess has gone down in eight short years. It’s like we went to sleep only to wake up and discover that the house around us is on fire. I’m not wild about McCain, but if he wins I will say a prayer for him only because the problems he or Obama will face will be monumental and overwhelming. The mess may take ten years to clean up. I don't envy any one of them; the jobs they will face come next January.
