My 1st Time Voting

This was my first time voting this past presidential election. So I video taped the historical event and documented it for my future children's sake and to share it with the world. So here it is...

Parade Wrap Up

Party in Paradise

Meeting Friends in Paradise; PRICELESS.

Strolling Through Paradise

Phillies Parade

Oh it aint over. This is a national holiday.

I Know It's Been a while, but I got something....

Been busy, simple as that, will video blog on that a bit later. In the meantime, got some old stuff that may put a smile on a couple faces as well as a upset feeling in others stomach. Ya well, I was pretty damn happy either way...

What's The Beef?

Ive been hearing a lot of comments about the McDonald's Commercial I have posted on my blog. Of course it's funny to me or I most likely wouldn't have put it up there. Most of the response is the same. What's the Beef? The response that says this commercial is somehow racist, or wrong in some way or that it makes black people look bad. How, Why, What would make you think that? Have we forgotten the bee-bopping white guy and his rapping buddy...Was that not funny as well? Why is it when an all black cast and black spin get put on something it always has to get judge differently. I pray to see the day this nonsense doesn't exist.

Maybe It's Just Me - "Stand Out"

This is going to correlate directly with my theme song (if you don't know what that is simply scroll down). I don't know if it's just me getting to old for my age or what but I don't fully understand or should I say go along with certain things as it seems most people do. Now is it just me or do most people say they are original now and days and that they aren't followers and so on and so on. Well if that's the case, what's up with everyone wearing scarves, INDOORS, as a fashion accessory. Now once again, maybe it's just me. I understand trends come and go, but at the end of the day, I was never one to really follow a trend because as I said they eventually go. Granted if i really liked a trend and it was something I could see myself always doing it even when people stopped, then yes, I went along with it. I used to wear scarves when it was cold outside, OUTSIDE, now I don't even want to wear one (yea sounds stupid) because I don't want to look like I'm following a trend because that is so not my thing. Anyways, maybe it's just me, but this whole rocking scarves INDOORS on top of Sunglasses when you not a celebrity with a buncha cameras in ya face just aint groovin with me.

Another thing is the slang that comes and goes. Now granted we all fall victim of adapting to it most times because its simple sometimes its to keep stuff somewhat of a secret and other times it may have started out as a joke and just stuck and other times it just really works and you couldn't imagine what took its place before it came about. A good example of a slang word or phrase that needs to be in the dictionary is "jawn/jaun" (however you spell it). It is one of the best slang words developed in philly. I didn't realize how much of a philly thing it was until I got to college, where I found myself actually explaining on multiple occasions the proper usage and definition of the word. It simply takes the place of a noun/pronoun. It's great. Now on the other end of the spectrum there's this whole "in my bag" movement. Like seriously, I understand what it means, and where it's going but at the same time, where the did that come from and why? I'm just not a fan of it, just say "I'm fly," "doing it," "showing off," or one of those originals. Like I said in the beginning, either I'm getting to old for my age be just going with the flow or I'm just more in tune with that them song than I thought. Stand out...

Bump on the head comclusion...

So I have a basketball game today at the Y league and I wasn't thinking about it for the most part until about 2 or 3. Anyways, this weekend I went to support my man Dre at an arena football league tryout. Being there led me to some interesting conclusions. For one, I really am a better athlete than I give myself credit for. Dre really does throw harder than most NFL quarterbacks. I could really be one of the best athletes on the east coast. Outside of that, I saw a number of people I knew that wondered why I wasn't trying out, and the answer simply was, "I'm not a football player anymore, I love my body too much." Most people understood that. Then, on the other spectrum there were people who I've played against in many basketball leagues who asked what I was doing there, and I responded with, "I'm a football player, this is what we do, I'm not really a basketball player, I just do that for fun and to stay in shape." Obviously we have a problem here. If I'm not a basketball player by natural talent but not a football player by choice, what am I? Then ironically I realized that my favorite player in all sports is MJ and his first love was football and baseball, but he ended up the most recognized if not best basketball player ever. Sometimes, its really not about what you want. Once again, these messages are settling in and really setting my course for me. What does all of this mean? I'm not a football player, basketball player, or any specific player, I'm a person blessed with great athletic abilities and need to use them because God gave them to me for a reason. I just pray I don't make anymore bad decisions. This game tonight should be interesting. Paul the knowingly "gifted" athlete will be playing tonight. Should be entertaining.

"In The Beginning"

This may not be "The Bible" but when its all said and done this will become an epic (confident aint I) to the masses. I'm a man of many words, thoughts, and rather intelligent ideas. I have been sharing these on other networks such as direct, facebook and myspace. My right hand man Dre (and I'm not gonna say No-Homo, I think that whole shit itself is gay) urged me to start my own personal blog because he thinks the masses should hear my thoughts. So here it is, "E-T-C" anything and everything that's going on in the world and in my mind. UNDERSTAND THIS, THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS aka "J.M.T." Like the original Talent use to say, "It's just comedy," these are just my thoughts, and outside of that, it's what's going on in the world. You don't like it, kick rocks, if you do, subscribe and enjoy. Stay blessed.
