Humility

Be Easy.
Be Happy.
Be Humble.

I think I just found my new motto. Had a decent day and a chill evening at the 33 Restaurant and Lounge maxin' and relaxin' with the crew. I also got to catch up with my homegirl April who moved back to the area recently. Something that she said caught my ear though. We spoke about a lot of things, among them Boston's social scene, life in general, and why LSmoove would not be successful with any women from Nashville. But the real highlight came when she mentioned that she was more focused in her life and came back with a specific plan in mind. Originally, she was here looking to do one thing and found that it was not quite what she expecetd. Then, when she ended up on the left coast and and she resorted to being focused on making career moves, the atmosphere flipped the script on her. So now she's back in Mass with a renewed purpose; intent on being happy, fostering that career, and letting some people fall by the wayside. It's not like I plan on dropping any friends anytime soon, but I felt what she was saying. It's kind of like that chain e-mail that goes around about being either being positive influences in your life (adding & multiplying) or negative ones (subtracting and dividing). I always like to claim that I'm still the same 'ol crazy Eric who laughed like a hyena and used to have hoop dreams up through 9th grade.
But I bet there's sure to be someone who disagrees. But you know, I got my goals; just like I wrote in my high school yearbook - Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished.

Been like that since back in the day

Black Moon had a track on Eclipse ith a SICK horn called, "Why We Act This Way." That song can literally put you in a trance.

If you see me and I don't give you dap
Don't worry I coulda been in a hurry or I might not like you
See I change like Michael but I don't mean skintone
Did a lot of traveling and been home

I've seen your kind before you're not original

That line came to mind because I peeped an episode of OZ last night in which Lord Jamar appeared. For the ignorant, LJ of BRan Nubian. If you're still clueless, keep it moving. So anyways....why was there a hurricane today in Boston. I literally got so wet in 10 seconds that it made all of the collective sweating I did the previous three days seem completely irrelevant to life itself. You'd have thought someone flushed on us.

Now back to some Lord jamar gems:

Even Monty Hall can have himself a ball if his assets are in order

What's really scary is you're somebody's daughter

You thought you had a sweet vic, a nice pick,
but you didn't anticipate that I might be sick.

Then you're gonna taste blood in your mouth, it's gonna flood south
to the ground, and you're gonna know I don't fcuk around.

Lord Jamar will live long, cuz I give strong blows the heads of my foes.
Dread flows, gives me power as it grows.
Watch how rass-clot or you'll catch the speed knot,
heed not, and hell will be your home,
Lord Jamar, Sadat, as we swell your dome.

Let us rewind to a time we was right and just
Nowadays we just fight and bust

Word is bond and bond is life

Just Do You

Apparently, the United Church of Christ, a national religious organization, has passed a resolution in favor of gay marriage. Ok, no show-stopper here. Now can we just keep it moving. More fuss than necessary.

And to reiterate, I love Black people. But the niggas need to go, son. Two more shootings last night in Dorchester; one of them at a family cookout. July is here. We gotta do something else to get the gats off the street. Just because you're grown doesn't mean you are truly a grown-a$$ man.
