Dad and I went on thursdays and when I got to school on Friday, I would tell all my schoolmates that I was the 6th Jackson! Ya know, the one Joe never talked about. Talking bad about Mike would get you punched in the face.<br /><br />There's a story about him and his brothers doing a mini-concert in South Memphis on top of a building. I don't know how true this is because I have heard plenty of people talking about it but no one has ever said that they were actually there.

The Jacksons set a record breaking 4 sold out concerts in Los Angeles. I was twelve and can still remember what I had on. Dark blue baggies and a white and blue no-collar shirt. Our seats were so high up in the Coliseum, I almost had to bend over when we got up to dance. Dancing all in the aisles.<br /><br />Over the years, my love for MJJ has lessened while my appreciation of his music stayed the same but hell, I liked the black Mike. I aint scared to say it. I just never could get with the straightened hair and the bleached skin but the cat is still the greatest entertainer ever to me.<br /><br />Yeah, music died yesterday and the world will miss you!Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-86295386259492728622009-06-13T14:08:00.007-05:002009-06-13T14:25:16.431-05:00Cough It Up, Al!<span class="two_column_articlesummary">The lawsuit in Shelby County Circuit Court against Al Sharpton's New York City-based National Action Network seeks nearly $70,000. </span>The Peabody Hotel in Memphis has filed a lawsuit against the Rev.

Student must also wear a white long sleeve or short sleeve shirt with a collar. However, school colors allowed.<br /><br /><br />One student said, "I had a white Aeropostale shirt. I had my gray belt. I had some skinny leg jeans and my flats and some leg warmers.”<br /><br />So why did this outfit land this student in the Principal's office?<br /><br />This student is a BOY!<br /><br />The principal called him into his office and said that he needed to dress like a boy and his sexuality is getting too outrageous at school and that Gaderious going to have to find some place else to go. Gaderious says he usually wears a fitted girl's collared shirt, a long sleeve undershirt, cargo khakis, and tennis shoes or flats.<br /><br />The dress code is unisex so there is no such thing as a "boy" or "girl" uniform. MCS policy says the principal can say something if the attire disrupts the learning environment or creates a safety hazard.<br /><br />Gaderious says, "I don’t start trouble with anyone. I’m just a normal student.”<br /><br />Gaderious has since filed a complaint with the Board of Education about the principal’s demands that he change his clothing and hopes to get a response back soon. He wants to attend a winter formal and prom and wants to be able to buy his outfit, even if it is a dress.<br /><br />Should this type of behavior be permitted in public schools? At what point does self expression become a distraction?<br /><br /><br />P.S. I know I have been a little lazy in posting but work with me yall.

Detectives say he had been shot in the chest and taken to the Med in critical condition. Stevens died at 12:56 a.m., Friday, January 2, at the hospital.<br /><br />Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument between the store clerk, Yahya Murshed, and Stevens.

Simpson crapped the hell out. He was convicted of kidnapping and an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13 and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary of his Los Angeles murder acquittal. A Las Vegas jury deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial. He'll be sentenced Dec. 5.<br /><br />The 61-year-old OJ was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for getting five more old geezers to go with him a year ago and do a kick-door on a room @ a hotel-casino in Las Vegas to seize his sports mementos — including game balls, plaques and photos — from two collectors. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed and one even said that OJ had asked him to bring a gat with him.<br /><br />The case was brought about by Thomas Riccio, a collectibles broker who tried to bring in the FBI when he heard that two memorabilia <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4_I3jCGESXTPdZYa_1SDLoSNvQVInw3ST9uDCL7LnDGPt04oB7qPlTmYAAblSrW5i7bugEJW7A-R9y_jcRFbichPsOIwc_f5AKIpQodZY8Y4VBI9TFGgKhQ5hRRfJODJo0EltGdtgCI/s1600-h/oj.jpg"><img style="margin: 5pt 5px 0px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4_I3jCGESXTPdZYa_1SDLoSNvQVInw3ST9uDCL7LnDGPt04oB7qPlTmYAAblSrW5i7bugEJW7A-R9y_jcRFbichPsOIwc_f5AKIpQodZY8Y4VBI9TFGgKhQ5hRRfJODJo0EltGdtgCI/s200/oj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253745087160354834" border="0" /></a>dealers were planning to sell Simpson artifacts. He didn't get the FBI's attention so he helped set up a "sting" by promoting an anonymous buyer who turned out to be the Juice.<br /><br />Riccio rented a hotel room away from the Las Vegas Strip for the meeting and planted a digital recorder in the room. Riccio then sold the recordings of the six-minute confrontation for $210,000 before turning them over to police eight days later. The recordings were sometimes inaudible but Simpson's voice came through loud and clear when he said, "<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Don't let nobody out of this room.</span>" and those words formed the core of the prosecution's kidnapping charge.<br /><br />Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a sentence of at least two years behind bars and could bring as much as 30.<br /><br />The judge immediately ordered the Juice to go directly to jail pending sentencing which she did not have to do. Judge Glass could have let him stay free on bail until sentencing but we can all assume she will keep Simpson incarcerated through the appeal process as well. I read that the standard wait for the Nevada Supreme Court to hear and decide an appeal is about 2 years but the Nevada Supreme Court can take as long as they want to take and often takes longer. So even if OJ succeeds in appealing the jury verdict and have that verdict vacated by the Nevada Supreme Court, those two or more years will most likely be spent behind bars.<br /><br />As of now, OJ is no longer a free man and will not be for quite some time. Simpson will stay in jail until sentencing in December and then he will be sent to prison in Nevada. Because of the seriousness of the charges, there is the real possibility he will be sent to Nevada's maximum security prison. Simpson could get anywhere from a few years to a possible life sentence. If a gun had not been involved in the case, probation could have been a possibility.<br /><br /><p>From the beginning of the trial, OJ and his lawyers argued that the incident was not a robbery, but an attempt to reclaim items that had been stolen from him. The defense portrayal of Simpson as a victim of shady characters who wanted to make money from his famous name,and of police officers who saw his arrest as an opportunity to "get" him and avenge his acquittal over the murder charges didn't work.</p> Prosecutors said Simpson's ownership of the memorabilia was irrelevant; it was still a crime to try to take things by force. Four other men charged in the case struck plea bargains that saved them from potential prison sentences in return for their testimony against Simpson and Stewart. Some of them had criminal records or were otherwise compromised in some way - for example, one was an alleged pimp who testified he had a revelation from God telling him to take a plea bargain.<br /><br />I truly believe that this trial was just part two of OJ's trial for allegedly murdering his former wife and that white boy , Ron Goldman 'cause when does taking back your OWN shit constitutes armed robbery? And can anyone really believe that the Juice can get a fair trial when all jury members were white and majority of them were women?Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-16287086201682724512008-10-05T12:33:00.000-05:002008-10-05T12:33:48.134-05:00This Can HappenI can't remember where I got this from or who wrote it but I thought it was well worth posting.<br /><blockquote>Yesterday, that FEMA camp down outside of town was only a tree farm. Occasionally there had been some trucks with workers going in and out. People tried to get the workers to chat about it, and all they got was a disinterested stare. They were all illegals anyway. Work was work and the economy is in a recession.<br /><br />Tonight as you sit at home with your family watching American Idol, the program is interrupted by a news brief from CNN’s Washington desk. A female Army captain in battle uniform is reading a report about some kind of nuclear device that has detonated within the City of Houston. No one has yet claimed responsibility.<br /><br />12 hours later, with every update, CNN shows the faces of a dozen dark haired men with Middle Eastern sounding names. The FBI had raided their apartments and found large amounts of documents and other evidence, - video tapes, parts, tools, and rolls of lead foil. The scene shifts to a news crew and team FBI investigators at one of the apartments mentioned. He holds up a driver’s license – Ahmed Tehrani. Other documents a reporter holds up to the camera reveal that Ahmed is a graduate physics student at the University of Texas, an Iranian immigrant.<br /><br />CNN cuts away now to a hurriedly arranged press conference at an air force base, somewhere in North Dakota. He announces that martial law had been put into effect one hour after the nuclear detonation in Houston. He confirms everyone’s worse fears. For all 50 states and US protectorates, all civilian air travel and railroad travel have been shut down.<br /><br />All police, fire services, public and private telecommunications facilities have been feudalized under Homeland Security. Active duty, national guard units and Blackwater security forces are in control of roads, bridges, fuel, and food warehouses. The President hardly paused when he continues to mention that the November elections will be cancelled due to the present state of emergency.<br /><br />Because perhaps, you’re a different kind of bear, you become vocal about the arbitrary dissolution of Congress and the mass arrests and detentions, under cover of numerous executive orders issued over the course of the previous eight years. You smelled a rat. You spoke up.<br /><br />Flash forward a month: You are in line at the local ‘Freedom Camp”, being pushed along, away from your FEMA trailer. The Blackwater guards are harassing some of the more stubborn ones. You see many with bloody noses and bruises, in a line that stretches for three blocks.<br /><br />“You all stink”, says one. “We’re getting all you maggots over to the showers so you can get decontaminated. It’s for your healthy and safety.”<br /><br />“I’m hungry, when can we eat?”<br /><br />“Not until you get decontaminated. Now shut up.”<br /><br />You realize that the place you are being walked towards is an old meatpacking plant, but there are no animal in stockyards anywhere nearby to butcher. First, they come along and everyone is shaven down. Those doing the menial work are illegals, They walk up to each person in line, taking their valuables away and putting them into crates. A woman follows behind, says she’s from the Red Cross, and asks for anyway interested in donating blood. They’ll be able get their lunch without having to wait for the decontamination. Many agree and are walked away from the line.<br /><br />You are about to ask the woman why it would be safe to give blood if you hadn’t yet been decontaminated, but suddenly she moves along and someone else is now asking each person in line for their name and social security number. Two old men in the line begin They mumble, unable to remember their numbers. They’re ignored as the line suddenly begins to move again. The line continue to surge every twenty minutes or so, then halts.<br /><br />You smell smoke, an acrid, awful thick greasy smoke. Just beyond the shower building you, see a plume of black smoke slowly. You hear whispers in the line know. You can’t see, but you can hear someone scream, as he’s being clubbed down by three Blackwater men. The screaming stops.<br /><br />You look around again and shake your head. How could this have happened? you say to yourself. You feel a rising pitch of vomit climb up into your throat, and then all you can do is double over and retch. You are not the only one doing so. A rotten smell hangs in the air.<br /><br />There is nobody there to rescue you. You cough and wipe your mouth with your sleeve and look around, angry now. One guy suddenly dashes out of line, heading towards a line of trees a hundred yards to the west. He gets 30 feet and then he’s gunned down by Blackwater men. He could have waited - he could have bought some more time, maybe a minute, maybe more. What did it bring him to be a hero and try and make a run for it? Nobody cared. You’re still here and he is not. You smile.<br /><br />More Blackwater guards have arrived. They begin joking amongst themselves, pointing at the sullen men queued up in the long march to be decontaminated.<br /><br />One turns and makes eye contact with many. You all smell like I hope there’s some soap left by the time you reach the shower. Only clean pigs allowed here. The other Blackwater guards begin another loud round of laughter.<br /><br />The line continues its occasional surges forward. It has been hours. There must have been a thousand ahead of you, but thankfully, you near the building.<br /><br />You hear muffled sounds within the building, unable to make out the words, the meaning. You hear doors open and close. Then you and others move quickly through a hallway, and told to remove your clothes and put them on the floor. Helpers walk up and down the hallway now. The helpers cheerfully tell everyone that their clothes will be tagged and returned after they’re decontaminated. The mood brightens a bit around you. You can even hear a few joking. Orders are for everyone to remain calm and quiet. You're reminded that there is plenty of warm water for everyone. It becomes silent now, as you all shuffle slowly towards another door. When the door opens, the helpers guide you in and you’re told to not bunch up together, and reminded that it's selfish to waste too much warm water.<br /><br />You look up and see shower heads above you. You want to ask why the floor is not wet, but are afraid they’ll beat you if you raise your voice.<br /><br />You notice now that the room smells of urine and death. Before you can say anything, the doors slam shut and the lights go out and a gas slowly rises up from the showerheads towards the ceiling.<br /><br />You think to yourself - there might still be time that someone may somehow burst in to rescue all of you. You hear sobbing and realize it is coming from you.<br /><br />And now you take in one long breath and your mind begins to fade to black.</blockquote>Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-28771052668863882592008-10-04T10:35:00.005-05:002008-10-04T11:15:41.718-05:00It's the Weekend, Baby!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisSMEcz_fKiwf4hAodjw7EKgtB6HPVmRgRzl0JxD0Dnn5POhJ62NzMdR8zituCLW8E9NuyhxBBh2awYG9FuTjd4SveYB58kUPRhnHYEtWgMZ7TJOFSs7OYtFctoYY_2SxTnJf2f3l7IME/s1600-h/X.MA1.1222459361.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 5px 0px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisSMEcz_fKiwf4hAodjw7EKgtB6HPVmRgRzl0JxD0Dnn5POhJ62NzMdR8zituCLW8E9NuyhxBBh2awYG9FuTjd4SveYB58kUPRhnHYEtWgMZ7TJOFSs7OYtFctoYY_2SxTnJf2f3l7IME/s200/X.MA1.1222459361.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253330732448897170" border="0" /></a>Well, the football season for my younger son's team is over.

After going undefeated and winning the district championship last year, our record this season is 3-3. We have one chance to make it to the playoffs though. Corry Middle needs to beat Riverview. This was my son's first and last time playing football for JPF Middle School since he's in the 8th grade.<br /><br />Whitehaven High is still undefeated in varsity football. We are now 5-0. Had an open week this week but we gotta play Hamilton on the 3rd. <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:85%;" >(RawDawg, what you gots on the game? I accept paypal, bruh!!)</span> We beat them 50-0 last year, I think. They don't wanna see us!<br /><br />I have made it out of my second month of my 6 month probationary period @ my grind. All the old heads keep telling me to just walk 'em down slow because the spotlight gets dim after your six months are up. Keep a list of the things that bother me and address them accordingly AFTER my six are up.<br /><br />I can do that but I keep bumping heads with one of the guys on my team. He dodges and flodges. You know, dodge work and flodge like he's working his ass off when the boss comes around. Which only puts more work on the other two of us, me and North Memphis' Finest Mike G. I will tell yall about him later. I gots plenty to write about that cat. He aint worth a DAMN!Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-78234943170636825332008-08-24T04:20:00.002-05:002008-08-24T13:20:57.478-05:00No Child Left BehindThe No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is federal law that reauthorized federal programs geared to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools.<br /><br />No Child Left Behind should have been the mindset of all who listened to the parents of 5-month-old Caleb Janowski last week when Janowski defended himself and told Shelby County jurors he and his wife had both thought their 5-month-old son was asleep in his bedroom after what he described as a "<span style="font-style: italic;">hectic</span>" family outing back in September of 2005.<br /><br />Gerald Janowski told the jury he and his wife both thought the other had removed Caleb from a third-row seat and their 5-month-old son was asleep in his bedroom after he and his wife took Caleb and their other three children to their soccer games and shopping but about two hours later when his wife asked him where he had put the boy, they allegedly realized their mistake.<br /><br />How can something like this happen? Their excuse is total bullshit. Both thought the other had removed lil dude from the third-row seat and he was in the bed asleep.<br /><br />Maybe my kids are the exception and not the norm 'cause they look out for one another. Big brother watches lil brother. Twin girls always stay together. Brothers looking out for their sisters. Why didn't none of the other kids tell them they forgot to get lil dude out? Guilty.<br /><br />Then neither one of them checked on lil dude after being home two damn hours. When my children were babies, I checked on them regularly if they weren't in eyesight. Even now at ages 10, 13 and 16 I will still look in on them. They got a 5 month old. Neither one bothered to check on their child. They Guilty!<br /><br />And what's the time limit on jury deliberations? I read that jurors in this case only deliberated for about 12 hours over two days before a mistrial was declared Friday in this <span style="font-style: italic;">criminally negligent homicide</span> case in the heat death of Caleb. Tell those lazy bastards, some of us work more hours than that over two days. Guilty!<br /><br />Both parents will return to court on Sept. 26 to learn whether they will face another trial for the death of their 5-month-old son who died of hyperthermia in the rear seat of their family van on Sept. 10, 2005. They better hope my black ass don't get jury duty!Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-38474178348080850292008-08-24T01:07:00.003-05:002008-09-28T14:28:01.031-05:00Brillante Blog AwardStill trying to adjust to my new schedule so I haven't posted this week but I am back. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitx2pJmj9DuSmtj3w5sO73Ac6HT0TgIfkM9A9yXRfej8OHlGfMU_RKJduz38Wam3C0ju2QHLML1LXAsEf8CrZICx6csvxcg-Ce27o8-AAGhA0ZTyK-wycfrFkmLXwwWeDDEw6Z77cehmI/s1600/brillante_blog_award.jpg"><img style="margin: 5pt 10px 0px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitx2pJmj9DuSmtj3w5sO73Ac6HT0TgIfkM9A9yXRfej8OHlGfMU_RKJduz38Wam3C0ju2QHLML1LXAsEf8CrZICx6csvxcg-Ce27o8-AAGhA0ZTyK-wycfrFkmLXwwWeDDEw6Z77cehmI/s1600/brillante_blog_award.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Truth over @ <a href="http://enclave-lion.blogspot.com/">The Enclave</a> is my folk up the Missippi River.

I started this while sitting here trying to relax my mind after getting on my older son for the umpteenth doggone time (<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">it's always something</span></span>), my mom hates me. What makes it so bad is she been hating me for awhile. Not<span style="font-style: italic;"> hating on</span> me but really and truly<span style="font-style: italic;"> hating me</span>. How I know? 'Cause of what she said to me when I was younger. I didn't really listen to her at the time, her words kind of went in one ear and out the other. What did she say to me? I'm gonna tell ya. Back then, I didn't even realize what she was actually saying to me. Many times she told me, "<span style="font-style: italic;">One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you</span>". God bless him, my older son is 16 and you guessed it. He's <span style="font-style: italic;">juuuuuuuuuust</span> like me . Don't know if he's gonna make it to 17 though 'cause I swear I am gonna kill him. I am past the why, I've just about moved on to the how and when. Hell, I shouldn't even be writing this. Probably can be used as evidence but I know I can trust yall not to be snitching on me though, right???<br /><br />And I won't even get into how when one day while sitting around watching my two sons playing, guess they were around 5 and 2 then, I was bragging to Moms about how I was the last male with the family name that had boys so I was the one who carried on the family name and that mine was the "<span style="font-style: italic;">last of the red hot lovers</span>." I got so full of myself that I told her that I was planning on having one more "<span style="font-style: italic;">little playa</span>" before I was 30 so I can buy a personalized tag for the back of the ride. <span style="font-size:130%;">MY3SONS</span> but guess what? She turned to me, looked me dead in the eyes and told me that I wasn't gonna have any more boys, I was gonna have a girl. "Matter of fact, ya gonna have twin girls"is exactly what she told me. well, to make an already long story short, we named that "<span style="font-style: italic;">last son before I am 30</span>",the little "<span style="font-style: italic;">playa from the himaLAYas</span>", we named him Robyn and Ravyn. Ya already know, twin girls...<br /><br /><br />I'm just kidding about Moms hating me. She loves me and I love all my children. Even my older son. Yes, they get their good sides from their mom and I am grateful for that. I wouldn't trade my baby girls for all the world. They love they daddy. I'm still gonna kill my son. Just kidding. <span style="font-size:78%;">Nahhhhhhhh, I aint kidding. I'm killing him!!!</span><br /></div>Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-91047685377751680902008-08-11T21:34:00.000-05:002008-12-09T04:57:49.954-06:00Now & Laters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPkSf931e7htW6hvpV49Q1KxtTM8cYJpgOWSuaCpv31QEue8zMRVhgVtknVOKMEfKYnbWcTrWnlGdky4O6bHttPevnSFOvhaU3ynDI0fQXI-1NkdVW1ydQs6ie2uwXKCMBFjJ6pEDOUQ/s1600-h/Now_And_Laters_by_LoverOfSherry.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPkSf931e7htW6hvpV49Q1KxtTM8cYJpgOWSuaCpv31QEue8zMRVhgVtknVOKMEfKYnbWcTrWnlGdky4O6bHttPevnSFOvhaU3ynDI0fQXI-1NkdVW1ydQs6ie2uwXKCMBFjJ6pEDOUQ/s200/Now_And_Laters_by_LoverOfSherry.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227007764243110482" border="0" /></a>Today was the first day of school.

It would be nice to think that I've finally gotten through to them but at the same time I wonder how long this gonna last 'cause it's still just the FIRST DAY.<br /><br />I always tell them that it's best to do what you NEED to do NOW so you can do what you WANT to do LATER.Saucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07309961185447619484noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961760605413750534.post-35281501722642199982008-08-10T23:53:00.003-05:002008-08-11T00:05:53.216-05:00R.I.P.
