Grammy's or Garbage?

Was anybody else as bored as I was watching the Grammy's Sunday night? I mean 3 hours of who knows what. Literally, I didn't know most of the people performing or getting awards. Either I'm old or I'm watching way too much Nick Jr with the kids to notice other things. At times I felt like I was watching the CMAs (Country Music Awards). That means way too much praise for country music when it's suppose to be a diversity of music. Also, I don't feel like African-American, blacks or coloreds, whatever we are at the Grammy's, were represented at all. There was very little Gospel, as if it doesn't sell and very little anything else. Adele sweep the floor with all the American artist. Now, I ain't hating, cause the girl can sing, but it was as if the same 4 or 5 people/bands were nominated in each category.
Who are the people who sit on the board of decision makers and vote for who wins or who performs at the Grammy's? Seriously, what in the world was that mess #NickiMinaj did at the Grammy's? Whoever invited her should have been fired immediately following her exorcism. I mean really? The Grammy's was NOT the setting for that satanic foolishness. That should have been saved for her own personal concert, if she's even good enough to hold her own at a full concert. Doubt it based on that performance. First, I didn't get it. Second, couldn't understand a word of it. And third, I'm sure there were kids watching and attending who didn't need to see that stupidity. And don't get me started on the parents who actually DO let their kids listen to music like that. You ever wonder why little Johnnie is a hellion? And don't try to soothe your conscience by saying "music doesn't make people do stupid things."

Some good things I did like about the Grammys: Bruno Mars' performance was very entertaining. He was like a mixture of Elvis, The Temptations, The Four Tops and James Brown all in one. Jennifer Hudson did an outstanding job on Whitney's tribute song. And I was touched by the fact that they listed my brother #NateDogg among those we lost last year in death. I know, he was known in the music industry, but with all his talent, he didn't get his props while he was living. Some in part to Suge Knight's greed and stupidity, really, how you gonna be a business gangster? You ain't the mafia. You from the hood. Learn how to make money, invest money and give back to those around you. Oh, that's right, it's too late to give him advice, he's broke, busted and disgusted. Now, while much of my brother's music was vulgar and used too much profanity for my personal taste, seeing as how I don't curse anymore, the music industry has yet to embrace good semi clean hip hop or even to take those with true talent, like my brother, under their wings and teach them the ropes of what the big wigs want in the music game.

Well, after 3 hours of that, those are the only things I can truly say I enjoyed. Grammy staffers, you missed the mark this year, really. Better luck next time. You got an entire year to listen to ALL music, despite race, color, creed or genre. Try to make the Grammys look like the melting pot this world really is and get the minority music off the back of the Grammy bus.

Condo Complex Parties - Really?

Hey Neighbors,

If a large number of your party guest spill out into the front (quad area) of your condo complex, RENT A PLACE to host your party. It only makes sense, because not only are they taking all the parking along the street they are double parking in your complex area: Can you say inconsiderate? Why do I have to come to a party I wasn't invited to? Not that I would come anyway. I can hear you asking, How do I pay for renting this place? Well, if all these guest are you friends who so badly wanted to come to your party - CHARGE A COVER!
Now, for the parents who insist on having their kid's party inside the complex - you rent the huge jumper which you have blown up in the parking area of the complex (BLOCKING PARKING SPACES). The kids run wild throughout the complex like it's a playground, NOT! And then there are the really bad kids who let the air out of the jumper, WHILE OTHERS ARE IN IT! Where are the parents you asked: inside chillin'.
Is it stupid of me to expect people to be considerate of others? No, No, let me answer, YES it is because these are the days which the Bible describes as the last days when people will be LOVERS OF THEMSELVES! In other words SELFISH!

Don't talk, just walk

Why you got to get mad at me because I won't give you the time of day? First, I'm married and you don't seem to care, even with a visible rock on my finger. Second,  you sagging nearly to the knees and you actually thinks it's cool. You are unemployed (by choice or by force and ain't even looking for work) and lastly you're walking and talking on a cell phone. My advice: save the cell phone money, get a job and then save for something more useful like, a car.

All I've got to say is PLEASE, don't say or do anything. Just keep walking.

CHP officer convicted of killing husband in Compton

So this CHP officer kills her husband. She tells the cops she shot him in self defense. He was driving the car, she was apparently in the passenger seat and she said, "he became verbally and physically abusive," and she shot him in self defense.
First, they were coming from eating at a restaurant - Why did she have a gun? Sound familiar? Robert Blake.
Second, he was driving the car, how abusive could he have been while driving? AWD
I'm not disputing his being abusive at some point or maybe even all of their marriage, I don't know, he ain't here to defend that, however, I do know it ain't a whole lot I can do while driving, let alone beat somebody's butt to the point they get so mad and shoot me.
What did they talk about at dinner to where she seems to have gone from 0 to 60 in a second and shot the man to death. Her husband. The father of her children. Yes, unfortunately they had a 4-year-old and a teenager. Now they are parent less, because of her lack of planning. Let's see: Divorce, counseling, separation, restraining order, have him arrested. Surely she knew this, she's a cop. I mean she was a cop. Now she's a convict, a felon. WOW. 
Now, the judge convicted her and she faces some serious decades in prison. But, after hearing the verdict, she fainted. Really? What happened to the hardcore cop chick who locked and loaded and shot her husband in the head while he was driving them home from dinner? Having worked as a cop for several years, did she really think she was going to get away with it? Did she think they wouldn't investigate and look into all the evidence. Really? Come on now, it's Compton, law enforcement would investigate a jaywalker in Compton if they crossed the street funny. Just kidding. :) Sad, Sad. A family is torn apart and these kids will suffer for a long time to come.

The White House is Black, Deal with it.

With the latest disrespectful act of Arizona governor, I find it amazing that sooo many people (I shouldn't pull the race card, but what else can it be?) hate Obama when he inherited all the drama that is Washington. I have never seen a president so disrespected as much as he. Presidents cheating on their wives in the Oval office and are praised - for WHAT?! Bush puts us in a financial hole so deep we can nearly see hell. And let's not forget these guys got 8 years to continue screwing up. And still no one seems to CALL THEM OUT! Just the Black guy, because God knows full well THOSE people can't run a country. Obama barely got sworn in before the "I'm not racist," people start thinking of a way to get him out of the real BIG HOUSE! It's about time the black man runs the plantation. Suck it up and get over people the White House is BLACK and there's no going back.

Butt word Pants; Fashion statement or Fashion Stupidity

Who thought it was a good idea to create pants with words on the butt of the pants? Here's the problem, or  should I say the problems with that -- it's stupid. I mean drawing attention to one's butt -- Really? with words like juicy, precious, cute, and some even more stupid words. I personally would find it very uncomfortable to know people are reading my butt cheeks because I intentionally put a word across them. And then, there's the fact that I don't want to look at another woman's butt, but when you walk by with these pants on, I find I can't help but read it. It's just like weird and makes me feel YUKKY. The other problem with this fashion, or lack there of is people don't seem to know what size they should be if and when they wear these pants. If your four letter word is now stretched to a six or eight letter word, you should not put the butt word pants  on -- EVER! And I'm not making fun of any one's size because I ain't exactly the size I should be at 5' tall,  but at least I know I shouldn't have a word wrapped around by butt cheeks in public trying to make a stupid fashion statement.
This is definitely one fashion I can't wait to see go out of style.

Must have military connection

why is it when a person, a civilian more specifically, realize u r n the military they feel the need to tell u their uncle, their dad or their best friend's dad's uncle served? Really? @ 6 a.m. when I'm trying to get gas & trying to make 645 a.m. formation, I DON'T CARE IF UR DAD WAS GEN. ROBERT E. LEE. Walk away.

then on the military side, why do some soldiers actually look like the judge said join the Army or go to jail? I just want to say WRONG CHOICE now drop & give me 50.
