Hanging with the Living Legends of Hip-Hop

I met some really cool, chill down to earth people this past weekend. I guess I thought that they were going to be different because they are famous and in the limelight. We had a Legends of Hip-Hop concert (Tone-Loc, Digital Underground (much love to Pac), Naughty by Nature and Coolio) here last weekend and I was invited because a friend of mine is a good friend of a few of the performers. So I get as dressed up (in order to be comfortable) as I was going to get after I got home from work and head out. We get to the concert and someone comes to get us and the gate with some passes. We go in and go back stage and I get to meet Mr. Funky Cold Medina himself and his really sexy (at least to me) compadre Puba (sp?). We go back to the front and find us a seat where we can see the stage and everyone else. *Wink* brings us a few Coronas each and we just sit back and enjoy the concert.

So as NbN finishes, T comes out to where we are sitting and it’s getting dark. When TL was performing, my friend got a shout out from the stage and you know of course-all eyes were on her. So, alot of people are coming up to her all excited because SHE got a shout out. Y'all need to go sit ya asses down somewhere and get out of peoples face, lol!! The funny thing is that when T came out to chill with us, nobody saw him. I guess because the sun had gone down. Way to be in cog-negro T!! We then go back to the back stage area because its time to roll out. I keep my cool and don't act like a crazy ass person who has never seen rappers or stars before:

1.) I don't act like that. What’s the point?
2.) I don’t think that would have been appreciated, and
3.) It was neither the time nor the place, but still I don't act like that.

I get pictures with the sexy compadre (also got his autograph), Coolio, and Shock-G. I compliment them all because I think they truly are icons and Legends of Hip-Hop. I grew up listening to their music, (at times when I wasn’t supposed to be listening to it) and I was excited to be able to actually see them and hear their music live and in living color. I was really impressed during the Digital Underground set when Shock got on the keyboard and started to showcase his other musical talents. That man can play his ass off!!! Anyway, I digress. I was really excited to be in the company of some of the most talented and influential people in the music industry.

We leave the concert and head back to the hotel, were we wait on another friend to come join us. We freshen up and go on upstairs to one of the performers rooms. We take a few pics, laugh, clown, smoke and leave. We go to a club here and have some drinks and take more pictures. Because of where I reside, liquor cannot be served after 2am. That’s some whack bullshit. So as we are leaving, we are just standing around talking and laughing. We leave, they leave and me and my girls contemplated going back to the hotel. We didn’t and we should have. Ah well. It'll happen again.

I had fun and to be in the company of some of the greatest Legends was a thrill. If any of them ever read this, I want to say,

"Thank you to you all for letting me hang out with you and treating me like a friend. Let's do it again one day."

Peace.

Shut the fuck uuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppp!!!!!

While at work today, this chick who sits in my area starts coughing. No one says anything because due to her smoking it happens all the time. I didn't say anything because I dont like her ship-hip ass. Well, today her coughing fit lasts a really, really long time. So long that people are actually starting to look up from their work, or stop walking to turn around to see what the hell is going on. So one girl speaks up and asks her, "Hey (blank) are you alright?" Now let me tell you something else about me right here and right now. To me interference is a B.I.G NO-NO. If I am not talking to you then you have no fucking right to open your fucking mouth. So, no sooner than the question was posed, her hammy armed friend bellows out, "She's okay!! She's okay!! She's been sick and thats why she is coughing. She already said it and I didn't want her to have to repeat herself."

FIRST OF MUTHERFUCKING ALL, NOBODY ASKED YOUR GREEN AND ORANGE HAIRED, PIGFACED, BEADY EYED, ARMS AS BIG AS ELEPHANT LEGS ANTYTHING DID WE? SO YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SIDE NOTE

*Please note that I am not making fun of those with a little extra because I have some extra myself. Its just that I really dont like these two bitches because they operate with ulterior(sp?) motives all the time and they have done some things at work in the past that I just dont agree with and choose not to involve with people who will just as soon smile in your face but stab you in the back.

Does it ever stop?!

Its bad enough I have to sit by her and I REALLY don't care for her. But she TALKS. AND TALKS. AND TALKS. AND TALKS!!!! I think she talks just to hear herself talk sometimes. She really grates my nerves!!!

Come on now!!

I am antsy right now because my sister said that she is going to the store and I said that I would go with her since i am feeling good today. (I have been ill, but more on that in another post.) She is taking her sweet time like she always does. By the time she decides she is going, I will probably be on to something else.

Today

I am having such a hard time at work today. I am sleepy and my head is trying to hurt and I am hungry. Thats not a good combination.

I almost died today

First the ants were trying to make a home around my computer table. I figured they were after the cup I left on the table with some Kool-Aid or something sweet in it. Got those under control. Then after that I notice a black line going down the wall in my bedroom and I was like OH HEEELLLLLLLL NO!! So I go and get some bug spray. Not Raid or some top of the line name brand. I bought this $2 can of ant and roach killer from Family Dollar. I get to work spraying the window sills. Now I can handle Raid fumes, but this shit....!? I was coughing and gagging and now my throat hurts from coughing so much. I thought that this was surely the end of me.

In spite of the shit almost killing me and me having to sit here with the patio door open with the air conditioner still running....there is not an ant or fly in sight...well alive that is.

Playing Nurse....well Auntie Nurse

I know that I haven't posted in a while...I have been busy. My dad was in the hospital Friday because once again he has OVERDONE IT! My Dad is a 69 yr old heart patient. He is okay now but whats iggin' me is that I didn't know until like 730 pm and he was in the hospital since about 4 or 5 o'clock that day. I got off work a little early and my 8 year old nephew called me and said that Daddy said that he was hot and cold. I asked him if Daddy needed to go to the hospital or if we needed to call EMSA and since Fattenin' likes to play so much he was like, "No, Mr. Angry Man." So I figure him and Daddy had been outside and were just coming back into the house. So I tell him that I will call him back. I go home and crash on the bed. I then wake up about 7-ish to call my trout of a sister to see if she is at home so that I can go get my laundry. She then proceeds to tell me that Mama and Daddy are at the ER at Baptist. I'm like what the hell happened? Is it Mama or Daddy? And why didn't you call me sooner than this? She tells me that she sent a text message to my cell and called my cell as well. I say why didnt you call the HOUSE phone, Franchie? I was too through then. I said let me get on up here to the hospital and see what the deal is. Long story short, Dad is fine and they think it was something that he ate. What a relief!

Anyway, today I'm playing Auntie Nurse to my 5 year old neice, who was sent home early from daycare due to a 102.xx temp. Also, there has been a reported case of strep throat today. Not her but some other child. How convenient. At this moment, she is lying across my lap snoring away and heavy as hell. Me and Grandmother are about to take her to the doctor to see if indeed she has contracted this virus.

****intercom clicks on..."Auntie Nurse Tish...we need you in the Pediatric ward....****

Until next time.

Somethings never change..and random thoughts

I used to be a person quick to make a decision about people before I get to know them or about them. After years and years of doing this, I still do, sort of. Although I still tend to make a decision about a person(s) before I really know them, I dont do it so quick anymore. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. And my first thoughts are almost always "johnny on the money". For those of you that don't that....My first thoughts are almost always right.

I am starting to figure people out.

It's really funny how people try sooooo hard to give you enough information to make you ask questions so they can dangle the info or get some satisfaction out of keeping whatever information they have to themselves. I have recently discovered that in time, things will eventually come together and while they think they have the upper hand...they really dont.


***********************Another post coming soon!!**************************

All day long

Matt has been bothering me all day long. He started as soon as he came in. He has been harrasing me, writing me mean notes and saying things he really should not say. he was talking about my nails and though they REALLY need to be done, he will not pay for the required fill-in so why should he say anything at all? Although, he may not see it this way. Then he goes off and says that this Congo looking lady is my mother. What kind of shit is that?! Then to top it all off...he made a joke about the Beloved, deceased Beady Bee!!! I almost died.

I think you watch too much T.V.

Saturday night me and two friends went out to a local club. Well, we went to 2, one because it was 50 cent beer night and the other because the first club was a DRAG. We get to the second club and are sitting/standing and taking in the crowd when I notice this guy. He is grooving to the beat, dance moves, choreography-- all that. Then I keep watching this character. Thats when I notice that on each and every song he knows all the words AND the dance moves from the videos. I think to myself this guy watches way too much TV. Perhaps he has studied the videos and mastered the dance moves so that when he goes out into the clubs he can WOW some unsuspecting soul.

WOW.

Dammit!

Well, I didn't get to go to Star Wars yesterday. Stupid bank transactions. Well, I guess there is next time or DVD. Matt is trying to talk crazy to me and I am not going to let him. I will not listen to such banter about how slow time is going. It is not going to go any faster because you make mention of it.

Today

Today was an average so-so day. I think the only productive thing that I did was sign up for my benefits package at work.

I am going to see Star Wars tonight.
