WTF Moment of the Week...

September's cover of Black Enterprise


1:27 pm Lunch...TODAY!

I'm walking to my vehicle...An entrepreneur comes up to me looking like a run away slave...He walked like a kid on punishment trying to sneak back into the house after late night of kickin it...But anyway...He came with that "you want to help brothah out" rap...You know the ones pushing their cds at the gas station type...Well I give everybody the bennifit, so I stopped and listened...THIS NINJA HAD SNAKES ON A PLANE & IDLEWILD ON DVD! I mean WTF?!? I asked him did he hit up the early matinee? He gave me a WTF look back and walked off...LOL...I don't think he was ready for that one...All I got to say is _ _ _ _ _ _ (fill in the blank)...Well have a safe bootleg free weekend...(shrug shoulders) Well it sound like the responsible thing to say...Now I think Imma go home and enjoy my free cable...I'M JUST PLAYING! I'M JUST PLAYING! (looking around...quick dash for the door) I'll keep you posted

Relationship/Love Post...

I really don't know exactly where this fit in, but i googled relationship and this is what popped up...(shrug shoulders)


Well I had to stop my creative juices for the first mental post of the day...I didn't think it was approriate for this family friendly atmosphere (looking away)...I will give you the title though; Undankbar...Ikke Anerkendende...or Desagradecido (No matter the language, it's all the same)...Maybe if I can tone it down a little bit and some way work it out without giving too much details on the individual and associates involved, I might just post it...I really don't think it's possible...And some people might take a "l" if I do so...Because I don't know who reads "Through My Eyes"...Or maybe I'm at a point that I can really care less if they read or not? Yes, G. Cornelius was a little bit on the (pause)...Well it goes like this...This mutha...STOP! STOP! STOP! Okay...I can't discuss this right now...I might have to get in the booth and make a beef mixtape or something...? But anyway let me go on before the flesh enters...Anyway it seems like as of lately the words that seems to be leaking out of everybody mouth is relationship/love...From every angle...It really started when I went home to see my folks a few weeks ago...My mom and I just playing catch up...You know...The usual...So how's work...Then she goes on and on...Then THE DIG begins...She start to bring up the past-present questions...You know? So how's soinso? What's going on with her? And who's she type stuff...Then we got into this in depth conversation about love, life, and my future...Then I leave that conversation to another similar chat with Charlie B...He start dropping that "you know she's the one" type knowledge...And from that weekend up til today that's been the hot topic...From blog post to late night conversation...From department lunch meetings (which are close to worthless) to every movie, reality show, or video watched...I don't know if God is calling me out? Or is he just preparing me for another chapter? I mean don't get me wrong...I love the thought of a single soul inhabiting two bodies...I want that! I just don't know what these run in's are about? Well let me go before I open up a can of worms...I'll keep you posted

Wait!

She Could of At Least Dropped Some Chicken, Fish, or Something Before She Wasted That Hot Oil!

BAY ST. LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI...I know you all heard about it right? Edna May Sanders, 45, has been accused of killing her husband by dumping hot cooking oil (grease for all you...well you know)on him...

Police believe she heated about two quarts of household cooking oil on the stove, allowing it to reach a simmer before pouring it over her husband's head, chest and arms. (I don't believe AP actually rights this stuff)

Word is that the couple had been married only a short amount of time...Anyway...Now Easy-Greasy Edna is on the run...It's got so serious that they have brought in the FBI...They say that she has been tracked to Louisiana...Word on the streets of Plaquemines (?) she dropped the 2 kids off at her ex-husbands (shaking head) house...And he gave her $500 (shaking head again)...She is still on the loose..

But just in case...If you have any information as to the whereabouts Edna May Sanders, call the FBI at (601) 948-5000 or the Hancock County Sheriff's Department at (228)467-5101...You know...Got to do my service to the community...And I want her to get caught because she wasted some good oil...You know how much you can do with 2 quarts of oil? Just think about it...








Now enough about that...I had a birthday on Sunday! It took me this long to recupe...I had a crazy weekend...Starting from the drive home (shot out to toothless truck driver that ran me off the road) to the night of Patron (shot-out to Dr. E)...And a special shot out to some of the sponsors of the weekend...Toyota, Calvin Klien, Adidas, Paper Denim, Banana Republic, Lacoste, Vans, Creative Recreation, Chello (good looking out homie), Lupe Fiasco, Outkast (Idlewild...but don't tell nobody), the sour cream-cheese pound cake my mama put her foot into, Jason's Deli, Red Bull, Tropicana, Cruzon, Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Gray Goose...I think that's it? Well until next time...I'll keep you posted

On Aug. 1, 1945...

A baby boy named Charlie B was born on a farm in Fordyce, AR...And everyday I thank God for creating him...Because there would be no me without him...I can truly say that my first 2 decades on this earth were filled with questions and warring with my father...We were at each others throats all the time...It took me being away from him for a couple of years for me to understand what I had...And who I was...More like how blessed I was...I have the closest thing you can ever get to profection as a father and a model of a real MAN...I get alot of fowards from friends on the whole "what type of man are you" tip...And it so happen I got one today...And when I got to #12, my face lit up like a bottle rocket:

12. MR. RIGHT
a. He loves God and takes his relationship with God seriously
b. He is intellectual, brilliant, and capable of taking you there mentally and emotionally
c. He will love you even when you are not lovable
d. He has a career and not a job!
e. He acknowledges his faults and strives to be a better man
f. He understands a relationship is built on a 200% quota - 100% him and 100% you
g. He doesn`t have a bunch of kids and babies mommas - he`s smarter than that
h. He is a true best friend and everything you ever wanted in a man
i. He was cute when you met him. But, after spending sometime you see he`s fine as hell!
j. He can dress - knows the difference b/t formal, semi-formal, professional, business casual, casual, and since we are just chilling let me throw on some sweats and a fitted hat.
h. He loves his mother and respects women

Smiling, because that is how my mother feels about my dad...It was just a blessing to see that 365...See my father be that GUY...He's the guy that all my homeboys want to be like and all my lady friends want to marry...I kid you not...I still have exes calling me asking about my father...My mom get's a kick out of it...LOL

The guy is amazing! A modern day Job...My father has been through the fire...Never seen the man complain about too much of nothing! Sometimes I wonder if a doctor told me that I was legally blind and losing my hearing, what would be my response? What would my relationship with God be like? Well this happened to him about 8 years ago...Has it slowed him down any? NO! This only motivated him to be a better MAN, which I think is impossible...But he always finds something to improve on...

I only hope and pray that I can be half the man he is...And let me finish up before I get emotional...All I want to say is that Pops I love you...I'm thankful for you...And hopefully one day I can be as cool as you...Happy 19th/61st...I'll keep you posted
