You know what time it is..

Time is such a factor that so many of us use incorrectly.. Most of the time, when i think about it, it is because we're so young -all people- in reference to, time, the only thing that is infinite(and God). I dont think that it ever was a concept for us to fully capture as i do with most things of the world. I mean we do things, that really make no sense if we really acknowledged life in respect to time. I been real down about alot of things i care not to share;because i believe some things in life should remain private. But even things like depression or bitterness or just plain negativity are things we dont calculate into the importance of time. We are all just a blip (if that) on the map of time. Our life span's are snappier than hookin' up some Ramen Noodles - and that shit is fast. Its chains and generations that sum up history not one person, those icons that do are just as they sound, symbols of an era. And even some of them sadly get forgotten. Take a second and think about icons of my culture and the value of black history month; to a generation, the concept has almost come and gone... But im not gonna go there, it was just an example. .
I think of the 17 year olds dying from heart attacks and 30 somethings dying of cancer. I think about the hoards of people that I've asked "does time seem like its moving faster" and the demeanor they respond, so avidly that "it is". Truth is ( and we all already know it , but never apply it.) we will come and go and as big as some of our crews and clans are, most people will never no you existed (over time, of course). So with everything friends, utilize your time. No, better yet, maximize your time. Find the balance between maximum fulfilment and recklessness and use it up. Dont let your precious days here go to waste. Dont feel me, just ask some one a little older than you. I bet they could tell you what they could've done with 5 or 10 years.. Shit, I bet you can ask a couple (responsible) people about if they had their weekend back, they break down the shit they could've got out the way to make there week smoother.
Real shit, this is something I've thought about for years. My mother always told me as a kid, young black men have a shorter window of time than anybody else to get there act together so I've always kept the concept fresh. But when your grown and you see what seem like milestones pass you by, valuable moments pass you by, you see bridges burn , you see your friends, colleagues , love ones crash and burn, you get the picture- then your compelled to let everyone you love know.. One luv yall , it is what it is. -Q.

-Did you know that Paul Pierce really is The Truth(and NBA Finals MVP)?

-Texas is so damn hot. We've reached like 8 or so record breaking days, probably 3 or 4 in May.

-Yesterday was Junteenth, here in Texas- Dont know how long ago it was but this day Black folks became free citizens. I think the govt changed the reparations deal and dished out SLAB and some rims (through SSI checks of course).. I don't know but every Juneteenth thats all you see- and alot of skin lol..

-I really need to step my shoe game up. never been the type not to be on top of this sorta thing. CLNMike got me thinkin bout gettting a pedicure since im on shoes..

-Why cant the fast food clean industry they shit up like Chick- fil-et?
(Drinkin a damn cookies and cream milkshake with nuggets ya hear me)

-I was wondering in all of my blackness would I (if I was in a position to) take a bullet for Our soon to become prez Barrack "The Rock" Obama. hmmm

-Kobe got exposed.. And it took me SO many years to enjoy the dude- That dude is not down with the Magic Hour lol (remember that!?)

-Dont everytime you here the beginning of 'Jodeci's Come&Talk To Me'- the intro part right b4 the song- you think its about go down like its never gone down before? (the hip hop beat version with the piano in the intro) MAN!!!

-Am I trippin or is T-Pain fucking up the whole RnB game..

-Speaking of Obama; been reading his book "The Audacity of Hope" and im enjoying getting more comfortable with the person I've voted/ing for

-Haven't heard any good jazz music in a while..

-Since when is turning 18 considered stepping in to your grown-folkz status..

- Of all the bloggers I follow regularly Miz CLNMike and Eb da Celeb were the only people I saw that were enthused to write (a lil to a lot about the Celts/Lakes)

-I miss my mom so much. We're not supposed to have this type of (physical) distance between us.. She needs me, as I do her.

-Why are these fool ass niggas out here on that wet?
- And how did X pills turn into Skittles? Dont fuck wit mah Starburst!

- I love God and he blesses me in so many ways- I will never be greatful enough.

- In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets.. Thanks Jay.

-Have yall heard of Ledisi, damn yall she's cold.. I know if you got TWC digital cable you can catch her on one of those RnB music stations lol

Playaz Circle

[from monday /9]
So I was enjoying the day off yesterday. Nothing unusual, you know just the groovy green Sunday.. Al Green, Celtic Green, and that oh so good goody green that your auntie used to step off to smoke and come back all giggly and smelling funny. I love Sundays. Get to get back in to you, square off all your ends you know. If all else fails- plain ole rest is good for me(which fits the bill of the first two ironically).

Anyways I was sitting among freinds watching the game(Eb did you see ya man Rondo do the old Skip- To- My Lou move on Frenchy, well Tauriaf?!!), having a good ole time.. And yess i will get back to the game.. But yea watching the game bbq'n and shit. Something just wasnt right though. It almost always seems that way: and sometimes i could have a ball! At first thought I thought it was me being vein which very seldom I can be sometimes (from within now- no bitchassness aloud up in here lol). But then I started thinking about (at the time) random people from my recent past. I realized that I was thinking about my circle. I havent been home in going on 5 years.. It's wierd because in a way I feel I never left home-though I miss it so. See, I'm one of those people that function within a circle- All you lil Ms and Mr Cleo's ya boys a libra so do with it what you may.My circle kept me funtionable,kept me kept me grounded, kept me safe, kept me live, and most importantly kept me happy. A lot of NYC cats can relate. We had Crews of all sorts, like for the street, for partys, to kick it ya dig..

My Circle is no longer. We scattered the country like rouches jumpin out of cups of koolaid when lights in the hood get turned on. You grow up and move on or sometimes get set back.. The stage im currently going through in my life keeps me reluctantto call them or to see whats up, It's a stupid thing but you know, i'm keeping it real with myself. I dont beat myself up to much because I know i'm missing them, home in general.

Yo shouts to everybody crew - it could be your elementary crew to your college crew. And those of yall that had a crew. I gotta hit mine up. I'm planning a trip in the upcoming months so I'm trippin.

What was the deal with yall crew or circle?
Im bout to lay it down, -Q.

Nightcap

Twilight.. Its my time right now.

I'm just kickin it tonight in the bed and im flippin, you know-the channels.And all of a sudden this old recurring thought of mine scratched his ass out of my brain and jumped right on top of my last muhfuckin nerve: Why the fuck is the damn George Lopez show on every damn night!? ! I mean, I got nothing against George Lopez but that shit aint late night TV. Take that Seinfeld shit off too! damn

My favorite late show was the Arsenio Hall Show. Man nowadays i miss that shit. Not a good adult show thats entertaining on tv.. Im stuck on sports history and food shows (if i watch tv- that shit is a rare habit) now. These were some others..


Mash
Taxi
Martin
Looney Toons (CTN)
Tom and Jerry
Law and Order
NYPD Blue


Thats just a few.. Oh and did you know BET put A Different World back on TV? Anywayz what was that show you took it to the bed with? That show you ladies snuggled that brown round on your boo with.. Or fellas that show you knew you could pop on with your shorty and you know you could do what it do? Well yall its cutty time. Yall stay up -Q.

WELCOME TO THE ROMPER ROOM

What a Foundation to start a blog off with...
Strength

Love

Success

Friendship


..without really saying a word.

My Congrats go to the Obama family. They bout to do it big baby, and do it the right way.. I actually believe that as trying as his feat will be -and we all know he already gets the Garbageman of the millennium award-will be fun for him/them. in turn that will make the job more productive and fulfilling (meaning more rewarding for us as Americans). Oh and to my fair-skinned sistahs and bro's out there who dont know thats a freindly gesture call a pound (another form of handshake) or some dap.

Man we gonna have some fun and chop this shit up yall!! This is going to be the everyday spot, so fucks wit me. -Q


Step out your shadows and proudly walk in your blessings. one luv
