The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute's new website went live yesterday at approximately 7:15 pm. lol

And apparently, Deval Patrick's camp is not as on-point as one would think. Naturally, he got caught out there with the violent offender stuff, but now are you really going to back-pedal so much that you end up fronting on the survivor community? Please don't play yourself, homie. Don't pull the same tricks and simply use them as a photo-op and quotable. Come correct with this one. As unfortunate as it is that the Institute is needed, it definitely has done more than its fair share of good in this city and around the country. Nuff respect is due. Let's hope this makeshift press conference scheduled for Saturday actually has some substance to it.

You can check out the Peace Institute's new site at www.louisdbrownpeaceinstitute.org and if you feel compelled to support, you can either volunteer your time or donate with your checkbook (or PayPal account).

And if you like what you see and need a site built or know someone who does, holla at the god.

when i start to hate me, it's time to pull the plug

so with a few brain cells now recovered, i recall why i used the hoodlum and juelz statements before.

For starters, some people understand me just fine, but others are all too amazed and shocked that I am not a nut-hugger when it comes to Jay-Z. He has his moments, but overall he just doesn't move me...at least not like he could. But again, those that get it, get it, and those that don't will continue to worship the ground he walks on. So anyways, son has some new jonts out on the block and much talk about his impenidng return. yawn. But I was intrigued by the recent controversy and backlash regarding his visit to Ghana and now-cancelled trip to China. And all that hype about the African water crisis tour a few months back and look what became of it. A damn shame.

My man Phonte of Little Brother wrote a brief braindump about why he is doing away with his alter-ego, Percy Miracles, after stumbling acros Ms. Peachez. He always brings it raw. And always makes some very insightful observations abut life in general.

And lastly, this video (alternate link) is quite intriguing; albeit disturbing as well. It will definitely raise some eyebrows, cause some laughs, and spur some uneasy questions. With a name like, Y'all Should Get Lynched, it begs for attention regardless of how much of the song you can stomach. But it did immediately cause me to think of the Pittsburgh preacher who used to wild out on callers to his cable access show. I'm not even certain the word hypocritical even fits here. Yet, I am still scratching my head for both of them.

Just 'cause i have hood tendencies, doesn't make me a hoodlum...

somehow managed to draw a blank after coming up with a title. i did actually have a theme at some point, but lost track of time and my thoughts. oh well. a picture will just have to suffice.



ps: cold showers in the morning SUCK!

we made the front page of the city's website!

the school district's cable access programming started yesterday. thus, so did the unveiling of its official logo and brand identity. plus, we got mention in a press release from the mayor's office. hopefully, we can lure in some new clients on the strength of the free marketing. time to network while the blurb is still on the main city site...
