January hasn't liked me much........
Have I been doing things wrong? (Well I know what my secrets are) Is God trying to shake me up and show me something. (That could be possible) Why has this opening month filled with random jarring obstacles? Life is always full of issues but the way things have hit me over the past 30 days I truly can only laugh at it to prevent breaking something.
No "woe is me" cries over here but damn It'd be nice to breath a lol easier.....

Layla Sola x Uptown Collective Q & A
On the heels of her "Shit Mixed Girls Say..." video Ms Layla Sola has nice 1 on 1 session Led Black from The Uptown Collective. Here's an excerpt from their convo as Layla shares some of her beliefs.
" I am my own Hero is a creed that I live life by. I’ve always thought that as I mature, one of the hardest things to do would be to hold onto the integrity of my true self as life’s challenges confronted me. It’s a struggle, and I think one of the best ways to remain steadfast is to live life with passion and to be true to your inner voice. I am my own hero means being someone you can respect and feel proud of no matter what happens. The series draws on the inner strength of its subjects. Many of the subjects are inspirational people who I believe represent the very essence of I am my own Hero, such as Malcolm X, Thurgood Marshall, Billie Jean King or Steven Hawking; and these people I call Superheroes."

Lemme' Talk About School For A Sec......
“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid. We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down. Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that. Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly. Some use better technology. The point is, it’s possible. So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.
Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

So My Friend Has a Crush on A Hood Rat
Ok, ok the colorful title is a bit for effect cuz everyone involved is pretty cool for the most part. While coming home late last night I got a short BBM from one of my guys to hit him up today. He wanted my feedback on something. Long story short he's a good guy, no kids, no criminal record, educated, etc....but he's developed a thing for a girl he knows. She's attractive but seems pretty cool with her ghetto celeb type life. She's not a bad person from what I've seen.....she can be a bit loud and over the top from the one interaction I've had with her but it is what it is. Anyway, my boy tells me he finally stepped to her on some "I know we're cool...." type stuff and from he's words she didn't wanna take things to the next level. She didn't really reject as much as she hit him with the relax 'Friend Zone" response. This clearly didn't sit well with him so I asked me what do I think.
"Man, I'ma be real with you. In spite of everything you feel you're bringing to the table and its a lot, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have that attraction, that spark for you. The truth is you bring more to the equation than she does. Ideally you'd show her things she hasn't seen, open her view point up to things bigger then what she deals with presently. Unfortunately I've learned that no matter how much sense it makes in your head that she should want to rock with you, the reality is that she will more then likely stay within her element and deal with folk that dont compare to you at all. They'll be some bare surface superficial thing that has her feeling this guy or guys and it will make no sense to you. Be clear. As long as you have a crush on this female, yes I said crush, you're gonna be in funny state trying to figure out why others get the shot you want. It's classic and it happens to us all. I suggest you fill your space with another or other women...."
Curious if he'll listen. I expect he'll try to talk to this girl a few times before getting the hint.

XXL Notorious B.I.G Anniversary Cover
From his kids T’Yanna and Christopher “CJ” Wallace and their mamas, Jan Jackson and Faith Evans, to his closest friends like members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. and others, many got their chance to share stories and more to pay homage to the beloved MC. Most even disclosed rare, never-before-published photos of Biggie from their personal collections, which are featured in this month’s issue. Since Big was one of the most swagger-jacked rappers of all time, there’s a list of the 100 best Biggie bites, a look a what The Notorious One might have looked like at 40-plus, and much more.

Knicks Leaders Openly Seek Answer For Poor Start
I don't over react. I know that this NBA season will be an odd one for a number of reasons, but with all that said the Knicks have too much talent to be in the position they are in. I've never been a fan of coach D'Antoni and the way the Knicks built this team while positive in the overall layout is now completely void of the quality guard player needed to succeed in the league today.
Following Saturday nights double OT loss to Carmelo's old team Denver, there was much soul searching in the NYK locker room.
“A bunch of stuff comes into mind when I’m just sitting here just thinking,” Anthony said. “Maybe I should take the blame for the games that we’ve been losing. The offensive struggles. The coaches do run the offense through me so I’ll take it. I’ll take that blame.”
Anthony is playing hurt and has the shooting percentage to prove it. He's made 35 of his last 105 shots since spraining his left wrist and right ankle. As a result, Anthony revealed he is considering shutting himself down until he gets his body right. He plans to address his medical status with the Knicks’ training staff on Monday.
But Anthony’s issues aren’t just physical. Eleven months after the celebrated trade with the Nuggets, he and Stoudemire are struggling to develop any chemistry. And Anthony, aware of the criticism around him, acknowledged that he could be the problem — maybe.
“I think we as a team need to do a better job getting Amar’e the ball,” Anthony said late Saturday. “I don’t know. I have the ball in my hands, maybe it’s on me. Maybe I need to get him the ball a little bit more. Help him out with that.
“I don’t know. Me and Stat will talk, probably tomorrow, Monday, try to figure it out together. If I’m doing too much I want him to tell me. I want the guys on my team to tell me if I’m doing too much and we’ll handle him like that.”
“Maybe I need to stop shooting a lot I don’t know,” Anthony said. “It’s just a bunch of stuff that goes through my mind right now. Obviously, that’s the case when the shots are not falling. You start thinking that maybe you’re shooting too much.
“For me personally, as one of the leaders of this team, the way the offense goes through me, maybe I shouldn’t put all the blame on myself but that’s just me. I’ll take it. I can deal with that. I can deal with that pressure.”

It's Deja Vu All Over Again!!!!!
With my Knicks giving me reason to hit the bottle heavy it was a great end to my Sunday not watching Eli shake off 20 tackles and to throw 300+ yards of clutch championship caliber QB efficiency. Leading The Giants back to the Superbowl vs the Patriots. I was a fool in my boys crib back in 2008 when the G' Men took down the Pat. Hope history truly does repeat.
So who is the more elite Manning QB Hmmmmm?????

Look What The Internets Found!
“I retired five months after it was released,” Skee-Lo says, drinking coffee at the Denny’s on Crenshaw and 37th, a few blocks from the home he shares with his wife and two children. “Not only did my label [Sunshine] take credit for producing ‘I Wish,’ they took all the profits. So I refused to shoot any more videos, promote or record music. I’m not their slave. I wasn’t working for free.”
If you're from my era than we can only think of one when I say "I wish I was a lil bit taller, I wish I was a baller..." Yes the miniature MC Skee Lo how's 1 hit wonder summed up the plight of the under dog all those years ago quickly went MIA after his song 1st popped. Curious where I disappeared to? Check it out as he resurfaces....

Checking In With Myself
I started Vlogging around 2006. It was a way to express myself while slowly utilizing technology that was new to me. About a yr into it a recorded a 7 or 8 part rambling rant. It was sparked by a female close to me but set off a lot of things that had been swirling in my head. I'm not gonna load the vid. Its on my youtube channel. Nearly 5 yrs later It's interesting seeing myself in the emotionally vulnerable state. I literally told myself after watching that vlog that I'd never be in that position again. To my surprise I've kept my word. Not to say that I've stopped feeling cuz that's far from it but to have taken full control of these emotions is quite the act of progress in my eyes.

Friends Must Hold To Limits As Well
I think with your friends it's natural to turn a blind eye to certain things they do. We all have pet peeves, faults etc....but have you ever been going about your business just to realize that you've let a friend slide with A LOT of questionable stuff for you real good reason? It's like well their ok around you so I'll just ignore the rest of the package? Truthfully that does neither one of you any good. Well that's been happening to me recently. Gotta take care of that for real cause folk aren't gonna change then you have to eliminate yourself from the equation.

A King And His Daughter
King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. King claims to have been tongue-tied when speaking to her. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”

What Makes A Villain?
“A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”
