BREEZY I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU

BOY WHERE YOU BEEN
I get positive feedback when I do these question answer joints, so this time I really tried to give you one worth reading. I hope you enjoy it. If you don't see a good question please feel free to hit me up bawriter@gmail.com

1. Do you really expect people to believe you have been with so many women?
I really don't care if you believe it or not. Most of the dudes I know have fucked a million girls and most of the girls I know have like three different dudes that they got in rotation. If a dude haven't gotten a lot of pussy he may need to make positive changes in his life. Unless you really don't care and if that is the case I really need you to get some fucking goals.

2. What attracts you 2 a woman?
I have no idea what it is but there is an "It" I remember when I was asked this by different women I would give pretty much the same answer. I like smart girls so I like a woman that if you ask them a question 9 times out of ten they will know the answer. I like women who are confident but not bossy. I am a sucker for eyes, lips, and skin. I like full lips and a pretty smile straight teeth and soft skin. I am more attracted to black women than I am to any other race, but I love women from other countries or women that have several different cultural backgrounds. I am a booty man also you really need to have some backyard for the boy.

3. How many times have you been in love?
I have thought I was in love over a million but really only two times.

4. Has someone ever read anything you wrote about them and got upset?
Yes, very upset. I wrote something about my son's mom and she wasn't very happy about it at fucking all. I gave more information about her than she was comfortable with. There was good that came of it because after she read it she called me and we got all the issues off each others chest. There was some yelling but now we are cool. There have been friends and family members of people that have called asking me to change names or make things a little harder to figure out. My boys have also gotten into some shit because of what I have written. A few guys have gotten divorces and a few girls have had the shit slapped out of them. Once I wrote that my friends lie about "we going out with Breezy" that started a bunch of shit also. So for the record if a guy says that he is going to kick it with Breezy it is true we are going out to grab a few beers and there is a good chance that he may have to call you later and say I had them at some chick's house watching Canadian porn.

5. When I say the word love what comes to your mind?
Family

5a. One word answer you don't want to talk more about that?
No

6. Tell me what about love makes you so quiet?
Hmmmmm…..well I never really figured love out. I have been in what I thought was love but when you add time to the equation I think it was nothing more than me finding someone that I loved having sex with. I fell for bodies and faces not really girls. I was in a relationship that started when I was 19 and I feel sometimes that was the one. But at the time I was too immature I didn't know how to be a man for her. I was only concerned with getting what I wanted not what that person needed. I learned a lot from that relationship, shows me everything I did wrong so being a predator I know when a dude needs to get a woman in a relationship.

7. What do you mean by being a predator and when to get at a woman in a relationship?
The beginning is where most dudes fuck up and women start playing like the Bobby Fischer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer) I mean guys like grand gestures to let everyone know that this is my woman and I got this for her. Is that a mistake? No, as long as what you are doing can be continued. If you buy her flowers and candy for no reason every Saturday, you gotta keep doing that. You miss doing that two or three times you are going to hear about it. And if you give a less than what they would consider a good excuse get ready your girl is about to get other options….yeah I like that get other options.
A woman on the other hand will not do shit that she wasn't going to do in the first place. If she normally makes breakfast she will make breakfast, if she normally likes to suck dick she will suck your dick. U understand you are nothing more than an addition to her regular routine. Now if she really digs you then she will go above and beyond. But for most women you got to put in some real work to get to that spot daddy. That bullshit when she came over when you were sick to take care of you. Your ass is sleep on drugs she is over there to see A. If another woman comes over or B. Find out if another woman has already been over there….O yeah if a woman is at your crib turn your phone off and put it under your pillow or mattress. Don't just leave it on the table besides the stand, think people think. Sorry lets move on to another question

8. You don't seem to trust women, is that the case?
Not the case at all, I trust people to always have their best interest at heart. It is a person's nature to make sure they can get most of what they want before they just start giving up the "Prince Charming" fantasy. I trust women to be just like everyone else to get what they can get and keep it moving.

9. Some woman did a number on you didn't they?
No more than the next guy. Don't worry I have given a few women grief.

10. Since you have so much advice for men why don't you put something out there for the women?
I can't teach Jordan how to play ball. Really most women enjoy that I tell dudes stuff like this because they have said it a million times but it doesn't sink in. How many times have you told someone don't start doing what you can't keep up? I just said the same thing but I made it clear for the average dude to be like "Damn, I get that phrase now."

10. What is it like to be in a relationship with you?
It's interesting because it takes a lot to really even get close to me. I dated a girl for over a year and I told her that I had a brother that was killed at a club one weekend (never happened, I just heard some dude got shot at a club and told her it was my brother.) I told her that I was going home for the funeral and I never called her again. That was after a year. There is a girl I almost married that thinks my middle name was Abraham…again never happened. I don't know I just don't like people knowing enough about me to hurt me...Yeah that is it.

11. So you just lie all the time?
I use to lie about stuff that didn't matter like I have a buddy that says his middle name is French …….this dude dad and mom are from Canton, MS and you telling people you got a French middle name c'mon. That is one of those it really doesn't matter and if it ever does I'll clear it up.

12. Don't you think that a relationship should be started with honestly?
Sure but when was the last time you were totally honest with a dude that you just met? That shit never happens you lie about if you are seeing someone or the status of the relationship you are in. I am not trying to say that women are the only ones who lie, men lie also but I don't think you should put your hand on a bible until real shit starts in a relationship. Until then it's just somebody cool to go out to eat with and fuck.

13. How do you feel about the president?
He is a gangster; this dude took the election and started a fight with a country just so he and his people could get rich off oil and government contracts. Then they are all moving to Dubai. It all comes down to making money. I will not really speak on this but I heard something on the fucking Simpson's that I cannot quit thinking about. Homer asked why would Fox the television station that is known for shows that are totally left wing owned by the same company that owns Fox News. Think about that Bart Simpson and Bill O'Riely get a check from the same place.

14. Who do you look up too?
People who own their own businesses are the shit to me.

15. Why is that?
Because they dictate how much they will make and they give others jobs. You will always learn more working for a private owner than working for a large company. The guy in business for him self has everything from networking experience to the craft itself. Always remember kids no one will pay you like you pay your self.

16. Do you have your own company?
Hell no I need insurance, do you know how much that shit cost? LOL I am setting everything up but I am going to keep my job also that way I can get vested and have a retirement set up ya dig…

17. Why don't you write as much as you once did?
Busy, and I am not as inspired as I use to be. It's my fault because I have not been pushing myself, to create. The best way to create is to a constantly surround yourself with people that are artist also. Secondly try to always visit and people who amaze you. They don't have to be an elder statesman but just the cool uncle or the cool cousin that you hardly get to talk too. If you have an arsenal of family, friends, a view of your world and people who are focused you should be able to do anything.

18. How do you feel about a few of the controversial things going on with rap music? People saying that Hip Hop is Dead and the N word?
Okay, FIRST AND FOREMOST if you don't buy what you consider good hip hop from STORES, not the car wash not borrowing a copy from your boy so you can download it. If you don't BUY what you and only you call GOOD HIP HOP from the stores and go and support these people at the concerts, then don't ask what's wrong with the music, because you are what's wrong with the music.

Secondly, I think that there needs to be an understanding from the East Coast about the West and the South. Although Rap Music came from the East out west and down south is where you really saw cats starting the independent rap labels. Those two coasts drove around and sold it out of car trunks. So you gave them the art but like any artist will tell you today make sure your business is together before you do anything. I don't think it is right that so many artists from the east coast have to suffer because they were not where they needed to be with their contract knowledge. But that should push you to get at these young cats and tell them what they need to know. When you are great at passing knowledge real knowledge not the knocking down of cats just getting their hustle on that is how you become a legend. I think that if coast really got together and started doing more than just singles together I mean started owning venues and their own independent stations not only would hip hop reap the benefits but all of music will.

Third…….If you live in an area of the US that has small business owners that sell music you should support them. Because when you go to a discount chain store they put whoever in the music department and when you go there and ask something as simple as "Hey man I want to hear some Hip Hop beats but I want some new shit" I think the person working in the music department should be able to point you towards the new Alchemist beat cd or my personal favorite Donuts by J Dilla. to give you a jewel if you leave your knowledge to people who don't give a fuck about you what do you think you are going to learn. Step up quit being a bitch and get fucking grown. You may save three bucks but really man if you spend that $3 you can get a cd the information on the hot spot to go out to listen to that type of music and some earlier recordings and some rare material. But if you don't spend your money on what you consider good music don't be mad at what's on the radio just like if you didn't vote and you could I don't think you have a right to trip on the president.

Point number four, Hip Hop is constantly be broken down into more and more categories. You have the East Coast sound and you have the southern sound and then you have the west coast and the mid west sounds. From there you have the old school and the new school rap. Now let's break down each of the elements that I have mentioned. It may be true that all music has new and old school, but most people have to agree that if you don't listen to Rock and Roll it may be hard to tell what part of the WORLD a band hails from. You also see the respect that so many other genres of music have for those that paved the way. They separate us because it's easier for them to pick us apart when we have internal conflicts within the music. It's fantastic rap music out there, but you have to take it upon yourself to find good music. Invest in what you put into your soul I guess that is the best way to put it. If you don't care what comes out of you then fuck what you put into it.

And lastly, the word Nigga well I'll just say that I think it is almost impossible to ask someone to stop using a word unless you change the life of that person. Maybe we can change what the word nigga means. That way we can keep saying it but we have to open it but in doing this changing of the meaning of the word we have to let everybody use it. So I'll toss in my definition of the word Nigga to see if it is picked up. Nigga means a person that is blessed with mental and physical greatness. A nigga is born of non-white ancestors responsible for all great literary, engineering and musical advancements through out the world. And a nigga is a person of dignity and respect to be praised and honored for the hardships that they have had to face. Yeah I like that being the meaning of Nigga but if you got something better hey let me know. I am a nigga that will gladly be corrected. Hey, Richard Pryor didn't stop saying nigga till he visited Africa. Maybe if the people of color had enough resources to travel and see what the world has to offer they would not only stop saying nigga they would forget the word even existed. But if I asked you today to stop saying the world Starbucks if you drink coffee or the word pussy if you worked in the porn industry, that shit cant happen. Until the environment that gave that word life is no longer in existence Niggas they are here to stay.
B………R………E………E………Z………Y

You miss me really?

Hey baby, I know, I know it’s been a minute, but when I wasn’t on my grind you know I was thinking about you. Now come on don’t bother me with questions tell me what have you been up too. You were on the verge of doing some big things so I had to step away for a quick second. I had to give you enough time to forget what you didn’t like about me and make you miss everything you did. So what’s up let me come through a little later, I’ll bring a little something to eat and a little to drink we can sit back turn the TV and the lights off and just talk. You know I miss how soft that body of yours is; if it’s cool I’ll give you a little back rub that should make you forgive me then what ever happens after that is between you and me. You know every woman needs a bone in the closet…… you can take that phrase how ever you want……huh? Nah I promise I won’t write about it…….unless it’s funny.

I got a call from this sexy ass light skin woman with the long black hair. Super nice body got her own shit you know money and crib. (yeah bitches we look for that shit just like yall do) It’s perfect she is a GROWN ASS WOMAN…. no roommate, no other motherfuckas at her crib just me her and the possibility of me swinging dick like Mayweather throwing jabs. I pull up in the front and she opens the door. I walk up the walk way and she greets the kid with a Heineken (If this shit ever gets published I better get free beer for life)

We sit on couch and she turns the big screen and we start talking about nothing really. Then here comes the kissing shit. I really don’t like kissing at all but I can smell she Scoped it up for me. Now it is true I have done some kissing in the past, but I think that should be saved for someone you really a damn about. I know there has been at least one dick in this girl’s mouth…… possibly right before I got here. (You think men are the only ones who knock out two and three a day you better get your head out of your ass and peep game) As a personal favor to everyone you are fucking ladies go on and shoot a fresh coat of toothpaste and mouthwash in that hoe before a player come through. That way he doesn’t feel like throwing up when you rub tongues. We talk and she gives me the bullshit, “This is your first time over here you aint going to get any tonight.” I hate light skinned cute chicks they think the sun rises and sets for their asses. I quickly diffuse the situation by saying “no biggie I got some back up head in case you tripping.” She called me an asshole I said thanks.

Now when it’s the first time I go to a chicks crib I like to make sure that they feel as comfortable as possible. They already have nerves you know “I hope he doesn’t see flaws in me or my home” I like to get that out of their head so if they see I am relaxed they can follow suite. I compliment everything from the smell in the air to their taste in furniture, unless their shit looks like shit then I just laugh. Why let them think that shit is banging if it aint,(I got that from Marc Will) I might not fuck but at least I got something to make fun of them about when they say they would never give me no pussy…LOL yeah I have laughed my self out of a lot of ass. But honesty, simple courtesy goes a long way, so if she does have a nice home let a woman know.
You must adjust this for each tax bracket, that means if you dealing with a six or seven digit female acknowledge their taste and show proper grooming if you don’t have this you should call your grandmother. Back to my story if you have questions about how to handle that type shit shoot them to me personally bawriter@gmail.com ,

I ask her why is it someone so beautiful isn’t seeing anyone she replied that she does but they always seem to go crazy. “What do you mean?” Well there was this one guy from my office and he was cool at first but then he became so possessive. He gets mad if he sees me talking to someone else. (I didn’t find out till later but the cat whooped her ass and that is why she broke it off) She said that after they stop seeing each other he still tries to push up on her. After we talked a little and kissed a lot more I started in with the intimate questions. What is the freakiest thing you have ever done? “Well nothing to compare to you Mr. Throat Skeeter, but there was once when I was seeing a guy he bought another couple over and well… we switched partners.” OMG I can’t believe that I just told you that. (Okay the moment you hear anything that sounds like I gave you more than I had intended, your golden because she has become more comfortable than she even realizes.)

From there I explained that everyone tries things when they are in relationships especially if they really are in love with their partner. There are many men that never ate pussy until they met that one girl now they don’t see anything wrong with it. I don’t judge people when it comes to sex, sometimes it takes more to make some people cum than others. Your very sexy I can imagine doing all types of things to you to make sure that you melt every time I put my fucking fingers on you. (I have no idea where that shit comes from it has to be the lack of blood in my head because my dick was hard as that first time you almost beat Super Mario brothers on Nintendo.)

I picked her up wrapped her legs around my waist and walked her into her bedroom, and laid her on the bed. I snapped that bra off and released them titties. I really aint a titty dude but damn this bitch has some SEXY ASS TITTYS. Nice, very nice, damn she has some sexy ass titties I mean GOT DAMN she has some sexy ass titties. I slid my fingers inside her and started making circles on the top of her pussy using my thumb to rub her clit. (You got to be able to multi-task) The second I started she raised both of her legs straight up in the air and wrapped my head up. SO (fuck I hate admitting this bullshit) yeah I ate it…..not long enough for her to nut she started wilding out and said “ST….ST…… ST….ST…..Oh God……Oh FUCK……SSSSSS……..stop.” I hear stop and I stop don’t fuck around boys cause the very worst thing you can do is get a fucking rape charge. I don’t know all the penalties but NONE OF THEM can be good.

She told me that we were getting too far out of hand. She could not believe I had her in the bed and I was there less than an hour she has never let anyone do this before.(I wonder when I lie is it that easy to spot) I laid on my back and she moved her head to my chest. When she was laying on my chest I slipped out the RED BARON (what you don’t have a nic-name for your dick) She looked at it and started rubbing it. I asked her to “give him a kiss”, she took that and ran slap off with that little suggestion. I wanted her to cum also but as the saying goes “if you don’t cum when I cum you cum when I come back.” She took my amazing graces with a gulp and a smile. We talk from time to time but she hasn’t asked me back. I didn’t really get it until I talked to TonyJ about it. He said that she isn’t looking for a fuck buddy she is looking for a MAN. She gave you enough to go crazy until you get the rest. She is trying to put you in the COBRA CLUTCH. As you know this is a grown as woman, if she had someone else you would be safe but she doesn’t so you were on the top of the list. After that conversation I don’t even tell her hello anymore. I can’t do it if I settle down completely then what would I have to share with my fans. I figure my life is my art and when I stop fucking beautiful women with mental problems how the fuck will you make it through your work day without wanting to kill that bitch that keeps asking you where your going for lunch.

What have I been up too?
I got my second promotion inside of two years and I got a job writing for an online web site that is going to print in August so be looking out for it the web address is http://www.unsignedthemagazine.com/

How is your son?
My son is doing great he just graduated from pre school, proudest day of my life.

Are you still coming to Oakland in June?
As far as I know yes but I got to check to see if that is still going to happen.

What are you listening too right now?
Lil Wayne “Greatest Rapper Alive pt 2”
Devin The Dude "Waiting to Inhale"
Dave Barnes “Chasing Mississippi”

What is up with the book?
I want to be honest, I don’t know. I was working with some amazing people but both of them have so many of their own projects going on. I just may pay them for what they have so far and take it to print myself. It is still up in the air but as soon as I have something nailed down I’ll tell you. I should have kept my mouth closed about it until it was farther along. You live and you learn I am new to introducing a product just as I am new to being an artist but when it is ready I will defiantly let the world know.

What happened to the dentist chick you were thinking about getting with?
It was a waste of time, I tried but I don’t chase shit but money

Who is in your bed right now?
A piece of hot pussy with a strippers body, why you know someone who loves to be loved and not bothered tell them to send me a pic my email is at the top of the page.

You ever NOT fuck who you wanted to fuck.
Yeah that happens all the time. I guess the really good girls know that I am not looking for anything but material to write about. That sounds so much better than Pussy, and lime green sticky.

What will your next post be about?
I guess chicks I wanted to fuck but didn’t that sounds like some real shit. I am also going to put my will on the site. It will be a living document but the world can read where I want every dime going. Hey check it out if I know you I may leave your stanking ass something……..

I am so fucking focused right now.

YoungBreezy.com is 2 years old

Before I get started I wanted to give props to my boys Jay Clipp and DJ Cuzzin B and the true school movement. They are part of the TrueSchool camp that includes the producer 9th Wonder and there is a story on them cats on www.allhiphop.com check it out and hit me up if you want either of their contact information both of these dudes are sick on the tables and I promise that they will put your spot on lean.. Here is the True School web site http://www.trueschoolcorp.com/ ...........OK now on to it

I haven’t said anything to anyone but 1/27/07 was the two year anniversary of my blog. Since so much of my life is shared only through the written word I felt it’s best to celebrate with my fans. That’s right……… I have been writing for 2 full years now. At this point I consider myself somewhat of an artist. I am not in a position where I can let my art support me but I do see how things are going, and I am very positive about what is in the works. Today I read some of the post that I written and it is positive to see my development over the past two years. Along with learning about how to write I have learned about myself. I don’t look at anything the same way I did before I committed myself to be great at this sacred art. The art of recording details of my life and my opinion on the times I live. I do this because I want those who are here now to see how much we all have in common and I want the future to see what we were battling and what we found to keep us going.

Creating something changes who you are or at least it should. It is from the creation of anything that you look back and you see what you are capable of producing. Something should happen, you should see something that makes you proud or you will see something that will make you want to work harder to make something else better than what you have now…….You see people are only capable of creating what is inside them, when that is realized you will take stock of who you are. What investments have you made to make yourself a better person? Questions will arise, you will ask yourself is this the only level that I can create or am I capable of more? The answer to that is simple everyone is born with greatness inside of them. It is the choices we make everyday to either help that greatness or kill it. Much the same way a plant is given life by some things and death by others. It is a living thing just like we are and it produces just like we do. It needs protection from the elements and when given light (truth) and food (encouragement) it grows.

The first thing that had to happen to me as an artist and as a man is that I had to stop lying to myself. This happened in a several forms, I lied about being a good person, I lied to myself about me not caring about my father, and I lied about what I was working towards. These were lies that I told only to myself, I didn’t pretend to be more than I was to anyone else but I told lies to myself that kept me in the same circle of failure. Secondly I had to come to terms with the fact that God (Or what ever you see as the higher power) treats everyone the same. The devout church attendee sees no less trouble that those that do not get out of bed on Sunday mornings. But when you learn to humble yourself and see through your issues and learn to become a vessel of good works and good intentions, hard times become easier to bear. Then others start looking out for your well being so the everyday struggle of dealing with the world becomes easier than trying to make it alone.

Next I had to really start working and stop relying on my methods of influencing people. I had to say to myself does my work speak to who I am? If someone was to see what I did would they speak as highly of me as someone who knew who I was. I think too many people rely on who knows who they are and not what they can accomplish. I had to adjust my attitude and ask my enormous ego a question. Am I doing everything in my power to make this situation better or am I just complaining? Struggle is the common denominator, if you cannot produce something of quality from nothing how can you say you deserve more than anyone else.

From there I started spending time with people that were where I wanted to be in their personal life. People who were right with themselves treated family and friends as if they were vital to their existence. I saw how much influence a Grandfather has on his grandchildren. I saw how a man’s duties are more than providing money he has to provide guidance and protection for everyone that carries his name or that is brought into his life. I was in a car with a cat that said “man you see why I can’t flip them thangs no more…that shit would kill my grandfather. This way is slow but I don’t have the heart to hurt Pops.” I saw that every one has a family and when they stop running from it and start running towards it they can find a peace that they will find no where else. I saw brothers and a sister who dedicate time to insulting and beating down each other unite like nothing I have ever seen when their father had a serious health issue. Now I treat my real brothers just like the brothers I gained outside my mother’s home. I am lucky to have them; they beat me up until I learned how to defend myself. And my father didn’t give me much but he did give me something very important…… he gave me life.

Two years have made a very powerful impact on me. I have learned a little about the Bible and the meaning of line They saw it was good. I have seen the greatest comedian of my lifetime and shook the hands of countless individuals who strive to be more than their imaginations can comprehend. I get emails from Paris from people asking about my mother; they say what I wrote about her still makes them cry. I get emails from Los Angeles, CA people asking about helping my son get into a summer soccer program. I get text messages from The Bay when a model is having trouble with this dude that plays in the NFL who doesn’t come see her when she is sick.(LOL) And all my friends ask me everyday what is up with that same model.…… I have answered many of the questions I had but it only to lead to more questions. But that is good because now I know more and that makes me better. Hey, I smoked herb with my uncle and my cousin the weekend we buried my Grandfather. It was the first time my family was all together in a very long time. I saw all my cousins’ kids playing around the house where I grew up. I met family that I hadn’t met before and it was like we have been friends forever. For the first time and saw how much my family really does love each other. Yeah I can’t wait for the next two years…………..Thank everyone that has ever read a word I wrote and had emotion because of it. Bless all of you keep me inspired and in line with what’s real…….Happy Birthday YoungBreezy.com and BreezyJr. My son…….. He turned five on 1/30/07. Freedom and blessings to the real and Fuck you haters……..

Marc Farts in Public and The Peanut Gallery Needs to Shut the Fuck Up

I just got a call from my boy MarcWill. I need his help on damn near everything creative that I attempt so I had to get permission before I mention his name. Well as of late I have been doing research on different types of meditation. He knew that I was on this shit now and he told me about a Yoga class that was going on near my crib and I should check it out. I thought about it and a lot of the stuff I have been reading in religious text as well as your common self help publication will mention something about the benefits of meditation and Yoga . Worst case scenario I’ll see some sweaty bitches putting their legs behind their head. What is wrong with a man looking at something like that? The experience and what I am getting from it is something that I will discuss at another time. But back to MarcWill he said and I quote “Man I knew that I should not have had that rice an hour before I went” Dear readers if you ever hear someone start a sentence with I knew I should not have….trust me sit it out it’s always a good story.

MarcWill said that he was in a pose that is called I believe is the Cobra Pose. Since he and I have olny attended a combined 5 classes we may be off with the name. That is when you are laying on your stomach and your face is pointed up. This puts a little pressure on the stomach. Well I'm sure that you want the point by now...... in the dead silence calm of this room…MarcWill blew the booty flute. I think he compared it to a cannon….The funny part is he prayed not that no one heard it but to God he asked only that it didn’t stink….LOL That was for you Courtney I hope it made you smile.

Now that is enough of that ass shooter talk, lets move on to more civilized things. Lucky for me, I have a lot of beautiful female friends. I don’t know what it is but I thank God everyday for the ability to make beautiful women feel comfortable around me. If you are also blessed with this gift high five to you baby boy. One of my many female friends is my girl is Lips and Legs she is the one holding the sign on the top of my page that reads “Take Yo Ass To YoungBreezy.com” well she is a college student in B-Ham Alabama and she has taken a part time job at a wonderful establishment called oh what is the name of that place……………………HOOTERS yes that’s it. I knew it had something to do with Owl conservation of some sort, what wonderful wise animals those owls. But she has said that she has been getting a few dirty looks to say the lease.

The Peanut Gallery Needs to Shut the Fuck Up

Recently, I took a job at Hooter’s and I decided to come home and do a little research on the internet to find out what I was in store for. I really wanted to know, on average how much money they made so I could start planning a budget. I wanted to know how much the girls who worked there liked it. I personally knew a few girls who worked there and they seemed to always be broke. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t digging myself into a ditch. I also knew several people who worked there who were paying for school with the money they made. I just needed some more facts and opinions.

I was extremely disheartened by how many hating ass females had to throw their two cents in. “Hooters is a step up from being a stripper.” “They’re just escorts who serve chicken wings.” “They’re dumb bimbos who aren’t smart enough to get a real job.” I was highly offended, and shocked by the fact that most of those women who said that were a)fat b) ugly or c) had never set foot inside a Hooter’s restaurant. When I went to fill out my application at the particular Hooters that hired me, I was approached by three very beautiful, very friendly girls. One of whom was on roller skates. I never once looked at their breasts, and I have been known to have bisexual tendencies. They immediately asked me about myself. I told them I was a student and I wanted a stress free, fun, good paying job to help me out while I was in school. They all pretty much said they were students doing the same thing.

While the whole purpose of the organization is to have attractive looking women enhance the overall fun of the restaurant, the suggestion that just because these women don’t mind wearing what they wear makes them bimbos is proposterous. In case you have lived in a cave on the west end of Central Park and haven’t been exposed to society since 1983, the Hooters girl uniform consists of a tight fitting lowcut tank top and orange “daisy duke” athletic shorts. However, any person that doesn’t have cataracts and who has actually been in a Hooter’s restaurant can see immediately that the outfit covers more than a swimsuit that you’ll see on a grotesquely fat woman at any beach. I’ve seen women walking in the mall with less clothing on. The suntan pantyhose that are worn under the shorts are so tight and NOT see through that I’m shocked the blood flow to the legs continues after a long shift. You’re not allowed to show tattoos or piercings, and your image is supposed to be that of a wholesome cheerleader. Last time I watched that cheerleading competition that comes on ESPN I noticed the outfits.....well exactly what outfits because they were so hoochiefied...okay, I’m exaggerating a little, but you get my drift.

I think women who have nothing positive to say about Hooter’s girls are the same women who have to hav e sex with the lights off. They get offended easily when a man gives them a complement. They constantly stress over their love handles and whether or not they are beautiful. They get angry when they catch their boyfriend eyeing another chic. These women lack the self esteem to work at Hooter’s. They lack the personality to make $100-$200 a shift. I feel sorry for them. Having a degree, or a job at a law office, or a job at some posh salon doesn’t mean shit if your personality sucks. And no, anyone can’t prance around in short shorts and flirt with men. Some women lack the tact to know what to say to a man who’s getting rowdy to put him in his place without losing a good tip. I think that takes skill and the ability to control of your emotions.

Being a Hooter’s girl obviously takes confidence. I’m a communications major and I love to talk and flirt with men and women if they want. I also love money and I love good food and sports. So why not work at Hooter’s? I’ve been an assistant manager at a shoe store. Hated it. I’ve worked in customer service on the phones for a bank and absolutely hated waking up each morning. I’ve worked at a car dealership and hated it. As a former model, I’ve decided to start using what God gave me. He gave me a brain, and I’ve used that to earn myself a 3.6 GPA at school and a spot on the Dean’s list. He gave me looks and a sharp personality, so now I’m going to use that to make me some money.

For the women who always have something bad to say about Hooter’s girls, take a second and think before you talk. Have you ever been in a Hooters? Have you seen these girls screw any of their customers? Have you actually seen the uniform up close? What exactly is so bad about working there, or is it that you just lack the balls to do it yourself so you’re going to make yourself find something wrong with it. You know women are funny that way. So I hope females read this, especially the ones who have dogged Hooters’s girls for so long. And I’m not just saying this because I’m about to start working there. Even before I applied or thought about applying, I went to Hooter’s quite a bit and always enjoyed the waitresses and thought they were really fun and had wonderful personalities. Why? Because I’ve never been insecure of myself. Even if I went on a date, I always knew what I had to offer and was never jealous of the girls. Some people just need to grow up and stop being haters.

Obama to enter 2008 White House race
By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent 19 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) of Illinois jumped in the 2008 White House race on Tuesday, promising to bring Americans together and "change our politics" with a campaign that could make him the first black president in U.S. history.

Obama, a freshman senator and rising party star, formed a committee to begin raising money and hiring staff to campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to succeed Republican
President George W. Bush' SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' President George W. Bush.
He plans a formal campaign launch in his hometown of Chicago on February 10.
"Our leaders in Washington seem incapable of working together in a practical, common sense way. Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions," Obama said in a video message announcing his bid.
"We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans," he said.
Obama, 45, is the fifth Democrat in a White House race expected to be led on the Democratic side by Sen.
Hillary Clinton' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Hillary Clinton of New York, who has not said whether she will run but has promised an announcement soon.
Obama's candidacy has stoked enthusiasm among grass-roots Democrats looking for fresh-faced alternative to Clinton, who some fear is too polarizing to win a general election campaign next year.
Obama's visit to the early primary state of New Hampshire last month drew sold-out crowds and more than 150 journalists, creating early enthusiasm for his bid.
In his statement, Obama said the decisions in Washington over the last six years have put the country "in a precarious place."
"But challenging as they are, it's not the magnitude of our problems that concerns me the most. It's the smallness of our politics," he said.
Clinton leads early polls of the Democratic field, but Obama's standing has risen sharply in the last few months as he pondered a bid.

The Life and Death of Hip-Hop......Word?

How many of you are really Hip Hop? Can you trace significant points in your life to a song, a movie, or an special outfit that you wore only on Fridays? Do you remember the first time you saw New Jack City or you saw someone wear Hammer Pants to school? Remember when you told your mother what NWA stood for and that look in her face? Have you ever cleaned your sneakers with a toothbrush, or better yet have you played a TAPE till it popped, or have you played a tape at all? How about this one have you tagged your name on a desk, or can you still do the Michael Jackson? Hip Hop cannot be defined because it is and had always been much more than just music. Hip Hop is energy and the basic fundamentals of physics dictate that energy cannot be destroyed only transferred in different forms.

I was listening to the Moni Love and Young Jeezy interview that took place several weeks ago and it followed an interview with Lil Wayne that appeared in Complex Magazine. Wayne’s comments were and I will paraphrase “How is Jay Z saying he needs to come back and save hip-hop, you had your run now your time is over.” These words have started or at least vocalized the opinions of many of the Southern artist. At the same time those comments outraged many artists from the East Coast. I think what people don’t understand and where Moni, Jeezy, and anyone else buying into this must realize; Hip Hop is more than songs. Hip Hop was here before rap music, that’s where a lot of so called purist are having problems. Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit is Hip-Hop, Richard Pryor's album Bicentennial Nigger is Hip-Hop, and Dolemite calling cats Jive Ass Turkeys is Hip-Hop as well. It is taking the sounds of your world and transforming them into rhythm and meter that reaches far beyond the scope of its maker. It is an announcement to the world of your conditions and the ability to showcase your artistic creativity. Hip-Hop is as much J-Prince as it is Berry Gordy. To try and put it into a box goes against every argument that validated as an art thirty years ago.

I grew up in Mississippi and the first time I heard someone acknowledge the spelling of my home was a southern artist. Big Boi saying it’s the M-I-Crooked letter, hearing him and hearing groups like The Geto Boys and UGK sounding like people that were in my hometown gave me something that can only be compared to KRS-1 saying the Bridge is over. Or the electricity that is produced when someone says is Brooklyn in the House. I will admit that I have a preference, and my preference is going to be those songs that I have an emotional attachment. But I cannot discredit any new or young artist because that would mean that my mind is closed. To say that so the average reader can understand how can I not like music that is for the kids when my mother who grew up on The Jackson Five would always turn up the radio for me when Candy Girl came on.

To reference what I said before Hip-Hop can never die because it is and will always be more than just the music. It is a social commentary on where we are at this point in the world. It is a look at the artist condition, their history and where they see themselves in the world. Say It Loud I’m Black and I’m Proud is Hip-Hop, Nina Simone singing To Be Young Gifted and Black is Hip-Hop. From The Windows to the Walls is no more or no less Hip Hop than It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Right. I feel that if Lil John had come out the same year as Two Live Crew he would be considered a legend. We and when I say we I include everyone that found something in the music that was not present in our lives, from words of an experienced ladies man, or the strength of a sister yelling Who You Calling a Bitch. It taught you what kind of person you had to be to make it. It gave a nation the ability to see that so many of our conditions are the same. From this nation to all over the word the belief that there are social injustices but if you have a beat and a recorder you can tell your world your story. That is Hip Hop to take almost nothing and turn it into a rhythmic account of who you are.

As far the other elements of Hip-Hop not being represented you have to understand that in the south we didn’t grow up with subways and graffiti. We grew up with backyard cookouts listening to our uncle’s Rick James and the Isley Brothers records. Having said that we grew up with our grandparents playing gospel, and blues. These genres are made with very minimal equipment but the elements that make it important are the soul that is captured between the lines. I think it is good to see people like UGK and Big Daddy Kane doing songs together. Because they understand that it is not about egos it is about pushing the music to another level. That shows a mutual respect and a breaking of barriers. We should want more artists like Chuck D, and Ice Cube who are approaching many of the same issues but from different perspectives. Today the radio still plays what ever the radio plays but that has never been the medium of choice for real Hip Hop. In the interview both had valid points but for Moni Love not o say that Hip-Hop is dead is a slap in the face of the people that made this an art. Blues isn’t dead but we are not supporting the artists that create it, the same can be said for Jazz. There is enough diversity in the art to find what ever you are looking for but the discipline to dig in the crates must still exist. Don’t wait for Clear Channel to tell you what’s hot. If that was the case would you ever have heard I Got A Story to Tell, or Ambitionz of a Rhydah. Or would you have felt the chills I felt the first time I heard Retrospect For Life.

Anytime that there is a notable amount of money being made you will have outside influences trying to get there hands on it. There is a scene in the movie Dreamgirls that shows a local label that made a popular song. As soon as it became too popular a major ripped it off and re-released it. Hip-Hop started making money that’s when it not only hood cats that were artistic started making it, but people who will do anything for money also started. If you want to change that you should invest in groups and people who you feel make quality music. If you don’t like it the first several hundred times you hear it your opinion should not change when you are in a club on your third drink. And finally, if you don’t like the music that is being made, the simple solution is don’t listen to it. That is what I told my mom when she said she didn’t like Big Daddy Kane.
The East Coast is the birthplace of Rap music no one disputes that, but the south is adding its flavor to the sound. That should be appreciated and celebrated and it should push artist to make from not only the East but all over the world to add their flavor to the music, the culture, and the experience. Long Live Basquiat; long live 9th Wonder, long live the DJ K-Slay, Long live swagger and baseball caps, and God bless Hip-Hop. The rumors of it’s death have been greatly exaggerated….Breezy

Ehren Watada refuses Iraq deployment

This was taken from the Yahoo news page I didnt see the writer of the story but I copied and pasted this from the yahoo web page. feel free to comment


Conscientious Rejector?
First Lieutenant Ehren Watada still refuses Iraq deployment orders, calling the war illegal. A six-year prison term could result. Preliminary hearings are set for Thursday.
By the Hot Zone Team, Tue Jan 2, 6:38 PM ET
Email Story IM Story
First Lt. Ehren Watada, a 28-year-old Hawaii native, is the first commissioned officer in the U.S. to publicly refuse deployment to
Iraq' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Iraq. He announced last June his decision not to deploy on the grounds the war is illegal.
Lt. Watada was based at Fort Lewis, Washington, with the Army's 3rd (Stryker) Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. He has remained on base, thus avoiding charges of desertion.
He does, however, face one count of "missing troop movement" and four counts of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." If convicted, he faces up to six years in prison.

Watada's court martial is on February 5. A pre-trial hearing is set for January 4, with an added scope of controversy: the Army has ordered two freelance journalists, Sarah Olson and Dahr Jamail, to testify against Lt. Watada at the hearing. Both journalists are fighting the subpoenas.
Kevin Sites recently spoke with Lt. Watada about the reasoning behind his decision, the controversy the decision has caused and how he is dealing with the repercussions.
Lt. Watada spoke on the phone from his family's home in Hawaii. Click here to listen to the full audio version of the conversation. A transcript of the interview follows.
KEVIN SITES: Now, you joined the Army right after the US was invading Iraq and now you're refusing to go. Some critics might look at this as somewhat disingenuous. You've taken an oath, received training but now you won't fight. Can you explain your rationale behind this?
EHREN WATADA: Sure. I think that in March of 2003 when I joined up, I, like many Americans, believed the administration when they said the threat from Iraq was imminent — that there were weapons of mass destruction all throughout Iraq; that there were stockpiles of it; and because of
Saddam Hussein' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Saddam Hussein's ties to al-Qaeda and the 9/11 terrorist acts, the threat was imminent and we needed to invade that country immediately in order to neutralize that threat.
Since then I think I, as many, many Americans are realizing, that those justifications were intentionally falsified in order to fit a policy established long before 9/11 of just toppling the Saddam Hussein regime and setting up an American presence in Iraq.
SITES: Tell me how those views evolved. How did you come to that conclusion?
WATADA: I think the facts are out there, they're not difficult to find, they just take a little bit of willingness and interest on behalf of anyone who is willing to seek out the truth and find the facts. All of it is in the mainstream media. But it is quickly buried and it is quickly hidden by other events that come and go. And all it takes is a little bit of logical reasoning. The Iraq Survey Group came out and said there were no weapons of mass destruction after 1991 and during 2003. The 9/11 Commission came out and said there were no ties with Iraq to 9/11 or al-Qaeda. The president himself came out and said that nobody in his administration ever suggested that there was a link.
And yet those ties to al-Qaeda and the weapons of mass destruction were strongly suggested. They said there was no doubt there were weapons of mass destruction all throughout 2002, 2003 and even 2004. So, they came out and they say this, and yet they say it was bad intelligence, not manipulated intelligence, that was the problem. And then you have veteran members of the
CIA' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> CIA that come out and say, "No. It was manipulated intelligence. We told them there was no WMD. We told them there were no ties to al-Qaeda. And they said that that's not what they wanted to hear."
SITES: Do you think that you could have determined some of this information prior to joining the military — if a lot of it, as you say, was out there? There were questions going into the war whether WMD existed or not, and you seemingly accepted the administration's explanation for that. Why did you do that at that point?
WATADA: Certainly yeah, there was other information out there that I could have sought out. But I put my trust in our leaders in government.
SITES: Was there a turning point for you when you actually decided that this was definitely an illegal war?
WATADA: Certainly. I think that when we take an oath we, as soldiers and officers, swear to protect the constitution — with our lives as necessary — and those constitutional values and laws that make us free and make us a democracy. And when we have one branch of government that intentionally deceives another branch of government in order to authorize war, and intentionally deceives the people in order to gain that public support, that is a grave breach of our constitutional values, our laws, our checks and balances, and separation of power.
SITES: But Lieutenant, was there one specific incident that happened in Iraq or that the administration had said or done at a certain period that [made you say] "I have to examine this more closely"?
WATADA: No, I think that certainly as the war went on, and it was not going well, doubts came up in my mind, but at that point I still was willing to go. At one point I even volunteered to go to Iraq with any unit that was short of junior officers.
SITES: At what point was that?
WATADA: This was in September of 2005. But as soon as I found out, and as I began to read and research more and more that the administration had intentionally deceived the public and Congress over the reasons for going to Iraq, that's when I told myself "there's something wrong here."
"I saw the pain and agony etched upon the faces of all these families of lost soldiers. And I told myself that this needs to stop."— Lt. Ehren Watada
SITES: Was there any kind of personal conviction as well, I mean in terms of exposure to returning soldiers or Marines — the kinds of wounds they suffered, the kinds of stories that they were bringing back with them — did that have any kind of influence or create any factors for you in coming to this decision?
WATADA: Sure, I felt, well, in a general sense I felt that when we put our trust in the government, when we put our lives in their hands, that is a huge responsibility. And we also say that "when we put our lives in your hands, we ask that you not abuse that trust; that you not take us to war over flimsy or false reasons; that you take us to war when it is absolutely necessary." Because we have so much to lose, you know — the soldiers, our lives, our limbs, our minds and our families — that the government and the people owe that to us.
SITES: Was there a fear that played into that? Did you see returning soldiers with lost limbs? Was there a concern for you that you might lose your life going to Iraq?
WATADA: No, that had nothing to do with the issue. The issue here is that we have thousands of soldiers returning. And what is their sacrifice for? For terrorism or establishing democracy or whatever the other reasons are. And I saw the pain and agony etched upon the faces of all these families of lost soldiers. And I told myself that this needs to stop. We cannot have people in power that are irresponsible and corrupt and that keep on going that way because they're not held accountable to the people.
SITES: You know on that note, Lieutenant, let me read you something from a speech that you gave in August to the Veterans for Peace. You had said at one point, "Many have said this about the World Trade Towers: never again. I agree, never again will we allow those who threaten our way of life to reign free. Be they terrorists or elected officials. The time to fight back is now, the time to stand up and be counted is today." Who were you speaking about when you said that?
WATADA: I was speaking about everybody. The American people. That we all have that duty, that obligation, that responsibility to do something when we see our government perpetrating a crime upon the world, or even upon us. And I think that the American people have lost that, that sense of duty. There is no self-interest in this war for the vast majority of the American people. And because of that the American soldiers have suffered.
There really is a detachment from this war, and many of the American people, because there is no draft, or for whatever reason, because taxes haven't been raised, they don't have anything personally to lose or gain with this war, and so they take little interest.
SITES: Do you think
President Bush' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> President Bush and his advisers are guilty of criminal conduct in the prosecution of this war?
WATADA: That's not something for me to determine. I think it's for the newly-elected congress to determine during the investigations that they should hold over this war, and pre-war intelligence.
SITES: But in some ways you have determined that. You're saying this is an illegal war, and an illegal act usually takes prosecution by someone with criminal intent. Is that correct?
WATADA: Right, and they have taken me to court with that, but they have refused — or it will be very unlikely that the prosecution in the military court will allow me to bring in evidence and witnesses to testify on my behalf that the war is illegal. So therefore it becomes the responsibility of Congress, since the military is refusing to do that. It becomes the responsibility of Congress to hold our elected leaders accountable.
SITES: Now this is the same Congress though that in a lot of ways voted for this war initially. Do you think that they're going to turn around and in some ways say that they were wrong? And hold hearings to determine exactly that, that they made a mistake as well? It seems like a long shot.
WATADA: Right, well I think some in Congress are willing to do that, and some aren't. And that's the struggle, and that's the fight that's going to occur over the next year.

Lt. Watada with his mother, Carolyn Ho, and father, Robert WatadaPhoto courtesy:Jeff Paterson/thankyoult.org
SITES: Let me ask you why you decided to go to the press with this. In this particular case you're the first officer — there may have been other officers that have refused these orders, but you're the first one to really do this publicly. Why did you do that?
WATADA: Because I wanted to explain to the American people why I was taking the stand I was taking — that it wasn't for selfish reasons, it wasn't for cowardly reasons.
You know, I think the most important reason here is to raise awareness among the American people that hey — there's a war going on, and American soldiers are dying every day. Hundreds of Iraqis are dying every day. You need to take interest, and ask yourself where you stand, and what you're willing to do, to end this war, if you do believe that it's wrong — that it's illegal, and immoral. And I think I have accomplished that. Many, many people come up to me and say, "because of you, I have taken an active interest in what's going on over in Iraq."
And also, you know, [I want to] give a little hope and inspiration back to a lot of people. For a long time I was really without hope, thinking that there was nothing I could do about something that I saw, that was so wrong, and so tragic. And I think a lot of people who have been trying to end this war felt the same way — that there was just nothing that they could do. And I think by taking my stand publicly, and stating my beliefs and standing on those beliefs, a lot of people have taken encouragement from that.
SITES: You've said that you had a responsibility to your own conscience in this particular situation. Did you also have a responsibility to your unit as well? I just want to read you a quote from Veterans of Foreign Wars communications director Jerry Newbury. He said "[Lt. Watada] has an obligation to fulfill, and it's not up to the individual officer to decide when he's going to deploy or not deploy. Some other officer will have to go in his place. He needs to think about that." Can you react to that quote?
WATADA: You know, what I'm doing is for the soldiers. I'm trying to end something that is criminal, something that should not have been started in the first place and something that is making America less safe — and that is the Iraq war. By just going there and being willing to participate, and doing my job, or whatever I'm told to do — which actually exacerbates the situation and makes it worse — I would not be serving the best interest of this country, nor the soldiers that I'm serving with. What I'm trying to do is end something, as I said, that's illegal, and immoral, so that all the soldiers can come home and this tragedy can come to an end.
It seems like people and critics make this distinction between an order to deploy and any other order, as if the order to deploy is just something that's beyond any other order. Orders have to be determined on whether they're legal or not. And if the order to deploy to a war that is unlawful, if that is given, then that order itself is unlawful.
SITES: How did your peers and your fellow officers react to your decision?
WATADA: I know that there have been some people within the military who won't agree with my stance, and there have been a lot of members of the Army of all ranks who have agreed with what I've done. And I see it almost every other day, where someone in uniform, or a dependent, approaches me in person, or through correspondence, and thanks me for what I have done, and either supports or respects my stand.
SITES: You've remained on base, and that's been a situation that can't be too comfortable for you. Can you fill us in on what that's been like there?
WATADA: I think that for the most part, people that I interact with closely — I have been moved, I'm no longer in the 3rd Striker Brigade, I'm over in 1st Corps — treat me professionally, politely, but keep their distance. I don't think anybody wants to get involved with the position that I've taken, either way. People approach me in private and give me their support.
SITES: Tell me about the repercussions you face in this court martial.
WATADA: Well I think with the charges that have been applied to me and referred over to a general court martial, I'm facing six years maximum confinement, dishonorable discharge from the army, and loss of all pay and allowances.
STES: Are you ready to deal with all those consequences with this decision?
WATADA: Sure, and I think that's the decision that I made almost a year ago, in January, when I submitted my original letter of resignation. I knew that possibly some of the things that I stated in that letter, including my own beliefs, that there were repercussions from that. Yet I felt it was a sacrifice, and it was a necessary sacrifice, to make. And I feel the same today.
I think that there are many supporters out there who feel that I should not be made an example of, that I'm speaking out for what a lot of Americans are increasingly becoming aware of: that the war is illegal and immoral and it must be stopped. And that the military should not make an example or punish me severely for that.
SITES: Do you think that you made a mistake in joining the military? Your mother and father support you in this decision, and your father during the Vietnam War refused to go to Vietnam as well, but instead joined the Peace Corps. He went to his draft board and said, "let me join the Peace Corps and serve in Peru," which is what he did. Do you think in hindsight that that might have been a better decision for you as well?
WATADA: You know I think that John Murtha came out a few months ago in an interview and he was asked if, with all his experience, in Korea, and Vietnam, volunteering for those wars -- he was asked if he would join the military today. And he said absolutely not. And I think that with the knowledge that I have now, I agree. I would not join the military because I would be forced into a position where I would be ordered to do something that is wrong. It is illegal and immoral. And I would be put into a situation as a soldier to be abused and misused by those in power.
STIES: In your speech in front of the Veterans for Peace you said "the oath we take as soldiers swears allegiance not to one man but to a document of principles and laws designed to protect the people." Can you expand upon that a little bit — what did you mean when you said that?
WATADA: The constitution was established, and our laws are established, to protect human rights, to protect equal rights and constitutional civil liberties. And I think we have people in power who say that those laws, or those principles, do not apply to them — that they are above the law and can do whatever it takes to manipulate or create laws that enable them to do whatever they please. And that is a danger in our country, and I think the war in Iraq is just one symptom of this agenda. And I think as soldiers, as American people, we need to recognize this, and we need to put a stop to it before it's too late.

Hustlers

I work with a large number of people that did not grow up around men and women who hustle for a living. Hustle means more than sell dope to those who automatically put it in that box. It means anyone who chooses how much they are going to make. The worth of their time and expertise is not dictated to them by some unseen face at a company. To keep it simple nobody will pay you like you pay yourself. This goes across a limitless scope, but I will focus on those that public opinion or those who say that “it's not right.” I mean women that strip, people that rob; I am talking about anyone who does not get their money from working the traditional 9-5. So if you are not accustomed to people living like this you may have issues in seeing what they get out of it. Why would you risk your freedom just to make a few extra dollars? If you get caught you are going to go to jail? Aren’t you worried about your freedom? Aren’t you worried about what your parents will say or what people will think?

Yes you do worry about what your parents will say. You worry about what the preacher says. But I have seen preachers totally change the way they preach when the right contribution hits the offering. I have seen mothers shut the fuck up when all the bills get paid before they see it. I have seen women leave the man they want, to be with a man who had what they wanted. As far as jail goes you live in jail everyday of your life. Every morning you get up earlier than you want to get up. You put on cloths that you really don’t like to wear. And you spend at least eight hours of your day with at least one person you cannot stand. Its muthafuckas telling you what time you can eat how long you can be gone to shit and take a piss. You can’t use your fucking phone when you want. Everyone around you is trying to stab you in the back. All this shit just to keep the shit you really wish you could throw away. To stay in an apartment that you wish gave you more room. To keep a car that you really wish was in better condition. God forbid you get there late. God forbid that you have to take a vacation. But I have benefits, you can get your own health insurance from a private company and it will give you better coverage than most of the companies in the US. Why because it is tailor made for you not a bunch of people that you will never see. When was the last time you had sex in the middle of the day. When was the last time you cashed a check and all of it was for your enjoyment, because you covered this month’s expenses 6 months ago.

The common person on the street selling tee-shirts makes about $150 a day. If you make $1000 every two weeks he is beating you. And he doesn’t have to take piss test. He doesn’t have to ask can he be off to go out of town. As a matter of fact he can make money while he is out of town. I want to say thanks to Marc, Jay-Clipp, and Allen for showing me the rabbit hole. I want to say thank you and I am committed to putting myself through another 4 years of learning. That means in four years I work for me and me only. I hope this inspires you to say fuck a 9 to 5 I want a hustle. I want to control my time. I cannot tell you the entire route I have been taking but I had a realization the other day made things very clear to me. If all you have is a result of you doing the best you can with what you have. Ask yourself the question: am I happy with where my life is and the things I have done? If you are not happy or to say the least satisfied you have to learn more. You have to give your self more knowledge than you have in order to get out of life what you want. You have to humble yourself enough to gain more knowledge and understand that it will take time. I haven’t been writing because I have been trying to learn.

I also want o say R.I.P. Kermit from Mississippi State University. He passed away in a helicopter crash in Iraq; he was a soldier in the Air Force a father and a husband. He was also a good dude. I remember Kermit from college we lived in the same dorm. It’s funny how many great men and women are dying in this war. Who will be left to run our country……. oh yeah the rich kids that didn’t have to join because they have enough money that going to the reserves for college money isn’t an issue. Kermit always wanted to be in the service sleep in peace playboy. Take care of your people, I’ll get at you……. Freedom

Just Wait

I burned two in the car, so I’m moving very slowly as I walk towards the club. I can hear the music echoing outside. There is a beautiful girl with a very loud voice standing outside talking to a dude that doesn’t care what she is saying. I see scattered people standing around before I enter, I say my various hellos to those I know and ignore those that I don’t. I walk into the club and melt into the crowd. The lighting inside gives the appearance as if everything was a mixture of vivid colors offset by the calming darkness I Slide around the bar to a location that puts me right in front of the DJ. I order an import and settle in between the bass line and fruity loops escaping from the speaker. As the notes find a home in my subconscious only inspiration and escape is requested. I am taken by the faces and shapes of the various women wearing perfumes that all smell of sexy. The bar tender is a little slow so I choose to order two the next time I see him. My zone is interrupted for only a moment by a bus boy as he bumps a table with some flyers on it. I decided not to pay attention as he quickly cleans up the mess he made.

While sitting at the bar I notice that two women have sat next to me and they are quickly surrounded by the lames begging to bankroll their night. I don’t say anything but I had more game in tenth grade). I gently tap the one sitting nearest to me on the arm and ask her politely “may I put my foot on the little bar between the legs of your chair?” Why did you ask me that, you could have just done it? “I don’t want to assume that I can just take over your space. I would much rather be invited to stay.” She gave me her number and told me to call her that night. I let the lames pay for her and her girl’s drinks.

Again I focus on the music. I came here to hear François and Clipp destroy the tables. Clipp walks in and passes me some smoke. I lit it with some matches on the bar as the flame became the sun of the universe in my hand I smelled the combination of tobacco and fire fill my nose. Honey taps me on the shoulder and says here I think you were drinking one of these. Apparently she pimped another import for me. I sipped it slowly and blew the smoke away from the crowd. They are not the kind to appreciate the gentle smell of ashes being created. I give her a kiss on the cheek and walk out side. I call my boy and tell him man I bet it would be sick to write about a normal day when I don’t even do shit. He said that shit would be boring I said nothing about me is boring, just wait. So this is a regular night for me, please tell me how you spend your time…….

Food for your soul.....

This was sent to me by my girl Yella......

She is one of the sweetest people I know. I call her my little big sister because i am older and taller but she is much more mature...She is worried about my people and she wanted to shoot me some knowledge on what we eat and how we are taking care of ourselves. Check it out.....
Ill be back next week with another tell of ass, game, bitches, and keeping it real for you baby....Breezy


Welcome fellow sojourners to this ‘cool’ reprieve (from work, school, and other boring bull that is sometimes called life), that is youngbreezy.com… my name is Yella, Yellabud. I’ve stopped by today to share some simple truths with you; consider it a little ‘health’ food amongst the juicy morsels of politics, sex, the game, spirituality, and other goodies you often find here. In the course of your life, you will know someone, or perhaps it will be you, that needs some type of emergency care. Whether it’s banging up your knee badly while hoopin, an incident at your home/work, or a car accident, it’s a pretty safe bet that first aid/safety will be an issue. Here are a few things everyone should know.
Everyone should take out the time (it normally takes like a Saturday to do) to get certified in CPR and First Aid. The chances of an incident (heart attack, cardiac arrest, etc.) becoming deadly are drastically decreased if the people around the victim know these techniques. No one is asking you to be an EMT, but you’d be surprised the little things you’ve picked up along the way that are WRONG. Maybe you’ve heard that when someone has a seizure that you should restrain the person, or put something down their throat so that they won’t swallow their tongue. That’s incorrect, folks. Besides making sure that they are in a place where they won’t cause damage to themselves or others (near sharp corners/objects) and have room to move, you shouldn’t really do anything to the person. While a person is seizing, there isn’t anything you can do for them outside of calling for help and getting their meds, should they be around. Here are two other common myths… 1. When you get a burn, put butter, Vaseline, oil, ointments, etc., on it. You’re not slowing down the burning, but rather accelerating it, so PLEASE refrain from doing this! Rather, rinse the area (if it’s a small burn) with cool (not freezing) water for twenty minutes and cover lightly with clean gauze or cloth until the burn can be treated by a health care provider. 2. You should tilt your head back when experiencing a nosebleed. While the blood may stop flowing out of your nose, it’s also stopped flowing to your brain (at least efficiently); this can cause the person to pass out. Instead, lean the head forward, get gauze or a clean cloth and pinch both sides of the bridge of the nose until the bleeding stops. You should call for medical assistance if the bleeding continues for longer than fifteen (15) minutes. There are many other myths I could address, and if times permits again, I will discuss them (when Breezy sees fit).
Moving on to another topic of import; heart conditions. Heart disease is among one of the top three killers of Americans, particularly African Americans. Diet and exercise are the number one prevention tools, followed by medication, but I’d have to say knowledge is paramount, as well. Here are some things you should know about heart attacks, cardiac arrest, and strokes. If you didn’t catch it just from how the previous sentence was phrased, there are some major differences in those three events. Here are some quick definitions… a heart attack is when one or more major vessels of the heart have a blockage, which leads to death of the tissue surrounding the blockage and preceding onward (b/c these areas beyond the blockage aren’t receiving nutrients via the blood). A cardiac arrest is when the heart ceases beating, for any number of reasons. A stroke is defined as when a blockage travels into the vessel network in the brain and, like the heart attack, tissue begins to die. While all can be and are life-threatening events, they have different signs and safety measures that should be followed. With heart attacks, the person will often be sweaty, be nauseous, complain of a crushing sensation in the chest, or pain in the abdomen, down the arm, the neck, or the back, between the shoulders. They also will deny needing anything other than a minute to rest and possibly an antacid (they think they have heartburn). At any point, the person may lose consciousness and if they stop breathing, CPR should be initiated. Have the person sit down and try to relax and call for EMS, immediately. In the case of a cardiac arrest, the person will normally lose consciousness, whether that lasts for a moment or for a long period of time. In this case, after checking for breathing, help should be called for immediately and someone begin CPR. If you know nothing else, performing the chest compressions are the most important. The American Heart Association has changed the breaths to chest compression ratio from 2 (breaths) to 15 (chest compressions) to 2 to 30. This is because it is more important to get blood circulating than the oxygen flow, at least in the beginning. When a person collapses, unless choking, they usually have enough oxygen in the blood to get by, but if the blood isn’t flowing to the brain, vital organs, what good is that? How do you do the compressions? Glad you asked! Place the heel (the bottom of the hand, palm down, near the wrist) on the center of the chest, just around/below the nipple line. Place the other hand on top of the already positioned hand, and lock out your elbows (keep them straight). For adults, press down into the chest about an inch and a half to two inches and thrust quickly. For children, press about an inch. If the child is small/frail, use just one hand. For infants, use two fingers (the ring and middle fingers), rather than your whole hand. Everyone gets the same amount of compressions (30 compressions followed by 2 breaths).
So anyway, start CPR and if an AED (automatic external defibrillator) is available, use that, ASAP. Even if you’ve never used one before, they are pretty simple to operate, just remember to turn that joint on. J The machine has voice prompts and it’ll tell you what to do every step of the way. Lastly, let’s talk about signs a person is having a stroke. There’s a very simple way to determine if a person is experiencing a stroke, versus having a heart attack. There are lots of acronyms you could use, but here’s an easy one… remember the first three letters of the word, stroke.
S- smile
T- talk
R-raise arms
O
K
E
Ask the person in question to smile for you, talk, and raise one or both of their arms. If they are unable to perform these tasks, they are very likely experiencing the beginnings of a stroke. Have the person sit down, remove any tight/constraining clothing and call for help immediately. In cases of stroke, if the person can get medical attention within the hour, almost all of the damage that was caused can be reversed. Additionally, in cases where people have an episode (heart attack, choking, etc.) and CPR is administered, their chances of survival increase into the 90th percentile. The Bible says, and it’s quite true, that our people perish for a lack of knowledge. I would be amiss to know this information and not share it with all that are in my scope to do so. Many may already know this stuff, but if this reaches just one person who didn’t know, I feel like it’s been worth my time. That one person could be the one to save your life or the life of a loved one.
Until next time, be easy, cut down on the grease, and know that your belly isn’t the only thing that needs nourishment. Feed your mind through conversation, education, and all other types of worthwhile exercise. Be blessed.

The Next Edition: By Black Soprano

You have to understand something about this life. There are people out here that will kill you……I really want you to understand that. There are people that will murder you in your sleep and fuck your wife in the bloody bed in which you lay. There are people that have made a commitment to never live one day of their life with less than $10,000 at arms reach. These are people that make jokes out of terrible things including what they did to the body. They only take seconds off never a day, that is too much time not to be on your grind. They have horrible sleeping habbits. They always go to church but they dont listen when they get there. They have groups of friends that hardly see each other but they are as close as brothers. And if they ask someone in another group to take care of something for them it will happen. There are people in this world that live better than you and they always will. You cannot fuck with everybody. Because there are people that will kill you right where you stand and from there go home and play with their children. All that matters is money nothing else. If it is not more money for the family then fuck it and everything about it. If it does not put more money in garbage bags under the fake panel in the floor…. fuck it. You see America is the greatest country in the world if you can afford it. Why did I say all this shit? To save the life of someone who has no idea. Don’t let your pride be the last thing you are remembered by. Then again it's your life if you want to go hard then do so. But oneday you will run accross what many call the wrong muthafucka at the wrong muthafucking time. Trust me if you keep looking for em you will meet them one day. I got a email from Black Soprano he wishes to give you a little more game. I hope you enjoy if not fuck it......... I did.


The next edition . . . . . ."It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you - without a strongrhyme to step to......" - Rakim

What's up niggas and niggettes. Pull up a chair and peep some damngame. It's your boy, Soprano - as Breezy calls me or Raynathan Skuggsas L.A. calls me or even Kevlar Moneyclips, which is one of mypersonal favorites - or as always Big Sexy The Giant Killer.Let's begin where the fuck we left off. Let me address some commentsto my last commentary.First up, some nigga/niggette typed this:

I have seen all of you no good bastards around Jackson. Fuck all you niggas Posted by Anonymous 3:49 PM

My haters are my motivators. Yes, we are no good. Yes, we are bastards. Yes, we are around Jackson. But fuck all of us? Come on. Don't be like that. Why be a brick around all this water of game and be happy sinking you ragged ass to the bottom of the ocean of pimp shit? Be a fucking sponge on this shit. Make like a mop and soak this shit up, Damn.
Secondly, this lame shit:
Breezy if that what you choose to be known as you really need to find better role models. Posted by Anonymous 3:50 PM

I detest this type of shit. A motherfucker wants to criticize the play called, but offers no fucking suggestion of an alternative in the huddle. Better role models? If we are what Breezy wants to be, and we are...., what fucking better role models can he have? You? Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Name me a better role model for a young pimp likeBreezy, than and old pimp like his Uncle L and various other Knights of Niggadom. Role model these nutts.

Up third, these props: It is cool that all of you guys are street dudes but you are really working to make something positive of yourselves. Young Breezy I think your a real talented cat and I hope you go far that was som pimp shit giving props to your Uncle L for that game he gave you Posted by Anonymous 3:53 PM
Bravo, nigga. Bravo. Damn. Look at this shit and learn younglings. Ain't nothing wrong with giving props - especially when props is due.The Bible tells you to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Shit.

Last and most certainly least, this nigga:There is no fucking way yall do half of the shit you be talking about somebody would have killed you by now there is no way. Posted by Anonymous 3:53 PM

Somebody pass me a #2 pencil, cause this nigga is trying to test me!Are you an ass? Do you know who the fuck I am? Do you know who the fuck we are? What would really blow your damn mind is the shit we cannot write about. Nigga like you celebrate kicking it in for a weekend in Houston - nigga we kick it for a week in the foreign countries. You thinking we don't do have the shit we talk about, nigga we don't talk about have the shit we do! Nigga, you don't have to post a comment, just because commenting is anoption. Matter fact, nigga, you don't have to read this shit or even visit the fucking world wide web - let alone Breezy's shit. But you come here seeking to have your cup runneth over. Nigga, turn from your player hating ways, humble yourself and soak this shit up. Now with that done, let's move on to today's Funkin Lesson

(you niggas ain't ol'skool - that's some X-Klan shit - google 'em nigga - I ain't got time to teach you ere'thang and typing is a bitch). Today's Lesson:Don't Go Looking For What You Don't Want To Find or Don't AskQuestions if You Can't Handle The Damn Answer. I was motivated on this topic by Breezy's cheating commentary. Be ye male or female, peep game.",

It ain't necessary to try and find out, let alone find out, if your bitch or nigga is cheating. What you need to do is try and find out if your bitch or nigga is making you happy....(Note from Breezy"they will not be able to handle this but the Black Babe Ruth is giving it to them).....If you happy - content, pleased, satisfied, etc - what the fuck does it matter. If you not happy - disgruntled, left hanging, hungry, etc - move the fuck on and find a motherfucker that gets you off in the areas you need to get off in. Everybody is a pimp and everybody is a hoe (niggas like us are just pimps more times than not - but crawl before you walk - don't try to be like us just yet).

Even if a motherfucker thinking they pimping you - if you getting what you want and need - so what - act like ahappy hoe.

Bitch: I don't want a man that's gone cheat on me. He gotta be with me and only me.You are a stupid bitch. Worse, you are a stupid lonely bitch. Such a man does not exist. You can make him happy as a hog in slop and he still gone roll around in some other mud.

Nigga: Shiiiiiit, my bitch would never cheat on me. I got her ass sprung. She love a nigga dirty draws! You's a dumb nigga. A bitch can play you like you can never play her. Pussy is much easier to give away than dick is. Don't sleep. You setting yourself up for one of them homicide/suicide crimescenes. A bitch will give that pussy up just like you will give that dick up. Just know, it does not matter. As Breezy says, wrap that dick up or bitches, make that nigga wrap that dick up and be happy. As long as your getting your fill, why worry about some cheat shit. Everything is everything, what will be will be. Damn, even LaurynHill tried to tell you niggas that shit - and that bitch is crazy!
Until next time . . . . . . .


I cant wait to see what them haters gonna say this time

Holy Smoke

I am really the most blessed person on this planet. Because I am surrounded with people that I feel are honestly steering me in the right direction.

I have several friends all of them inspire me to do great things. Margina & Derrick, Jennifer, JEFF, NikkiJ, TonyJ, LA, Tim A, Lefty, Skipp Coon and most important........ my son BJ. These are the people that I know I can depend on. But I will discuss all of them just a couple cats here in Dallas.

MarcWill is a dude that is on a mission to be considered one of the greatest artist that ever lived. I went by Marc's crib the other day because he and I were working on the outline for my book. I dont go to his crib often but I'm over there a few times every coupe of months. It never fails if I go by..... he is working on something ELSE...He is on a relentless persuit to not only contribute to the world or art but to make it easier for those who are seeking information to find it. He understands that we as a community have to work constantly to make our work take care of us and everyone that enjoys it.

My DOG Jay Clipp- Honestly LOVES soul feeding, inspirational, music and art with every fiber of his being. I get inspired by people like Clipp because he loves what he does and he loves the fact that he is dope as hell at it. He is also a deep dude that loves his family and LOVES sistas more than Sally haircare products. To sum up what I get from Clipp he helps you see that the world is round. What you put out will eventually come back too you. You look straight ahead sir, You look straight ahead.... LOL.....He kicked the crap outta me in Madden last weekend and he kept saying that to me..You Look Straight ahead sir You look straight ahead. Then he said I should write a blog about how when we are kids playing stuff like Tech-Mo Bowl, a cat that really didn't play the game could kinda just keep calling the same plays or trying dumb stuff to see if it will work. Simply put hose days are over.... if you think you can try that on 07 Madden you will get your face kicked in the ground. If you really think it's a game....... go over to Clipp's house and get your football squad embarrassed.

Any way I got a buddy another buddy named DayWalker. He is a cat that I am cool with really stable dude married, established at his place of work, use to be thug a$$ dude(typical cat i am cool with). But I asked him to give me a little something to put up on my site like once a week dealing with the word (he is also a youth pastor) I know, I know,..... your saying BREEZY hangs out with Youth Ministers....Yes, Yes I do. I like people that are real about life and I admire people that can see things in their life that they don't like and make a change. Some people make this change by throwing themselves into sports or music OR WRITING. He made his change by throwing himself into the word of the Lord. I write this blog for several reasons, but one of the main reasons is I want to do is inspire you to do something great. I introduce you to DayWalker --------

If you've never heard the word “autarkes”, don't worry... I hadn't heard it before I looked it up today. I didn't look it up out of some deep spiritual movement. I was just talkin with a friend who had a question. Not really a problem, just a question that he wanted a “possible” answer to. The thing about it is, I kinda felt like at certain moments that I was reaching for answers. Not because I couldn't identify with his situation, but because I really don't know how I got to the point I'm at. My life story aside, my friend is doin good. I haven't known this cat a long time, but what I do know about him, I like. Drive, seriousness, humor... mad humor.... an understanding of family and responsibility and a need to be successful and creative. What's not to like? At this point I have to say that some people may not feel what I'm about to say, but most people with think about it and decide later whether or not it's true...

Happiness and Joy ain't the same pill. One is blue and one is red. Only the red pill gets you to reality. That word “autarkes” is a greek word and it means contentment or Self-content. It's a hot word for right now, because, people are chasing it in it's purest form: Peace and Joy. You see, Happiness is situational. When I was drinkin' I was happy. When I was high I was happy... but, when I came down I had no Joy. Joy is a matter of being content. Having Peace is a matter of find that Joy.

We spend so much time chasing the “stuff” that makes us happy, that we forget to get some Joy in life. I am by no means a minimalizing-deprevationist. I drive a new truck, my wife drives a new car and we are the first people to live in our house. We don't ball, but we live good and we have Joy in our living. That does not come from stuff, it comes from truth... truth that says “if I ain't got this stuff, I still know how to have joy”... don't get it twisted, if I lose my job, cars, and house, I will not be happy (I'm not stupid). But, I will still have my joy. If my wife leaves me, I'll still have my Joy. I have Peace and with Peace comes Joy... Joy in truth... truth from the fact that it's all going to be just fine. One way or another, it's all going to be fine and there is no reason for me to run up in a school and kill 5 little girls that ain't done crap to nobody.

“Autarkes” shows up a few places in the Bible, but the best is in Phillipians chapter 4... it's in verse 11, but the verses before that are hot as well. Some people think Phillipians chapter 4 is a high minded treatise on what Christians should or should not expose themselves to, but really it's about how we should treat each other and love each other. Paul starts with a request that two people who are arguing, stop arguing. Then he goes on to explain in verse 8 how follower of The Way should think about each other. With a good understanding of that, we find verse 11.
King James: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Modern Language Bible: Not that I mention this because of need, for I have learned to make ends meet in whatever situation I am.
Find some peace and stop looking for stuff you want or need to make you happy.

Peace and blessing, my boy ------Breezy!!!

DayWalker said that he is going to send me something once a week. So to all my sinners if you don't go to church you can always stop by www.YoungBreezy.com and get you some Holy Smoke.....Freedom
