HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

Right Now I'm Feelin' Like This.


I guess it could be all the rainy weather in NYC...boooooooooooo.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

And I quote, Wiki, that is:

"Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.

While outnumbered, the Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had known no defeat for almost 50 years. (WORD TO YOUR MOMS - DOWN WITH THE INFIDEL, B-RAE's aside) However, Cinco de Mayo is not "an obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.

While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. However, a common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which actually is September 16 (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish),the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico."

PROPS AND SHOUTS TO MY MEXICAN BROTHER & SISTERS -

I was gonna insert a picture of a regular wearable sombrero, but felt the "Sombrero Galaxy" was more fitting to my mood right now, that and I REALLY need sleep.

HOWEVER, We gon' get it in later on today at some authentic hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in Park Slope. TAMALES!!!

Hasta Luego,

The 1st Time I've Been Psyched about a new R & B Singer in a While....

I've officially been bitten by the R.Les bug.

He's a perfectly gentlemanly beast in the Studio.


TALENTED AND FUNNY TOO(@ 3:22)



This track has catalyzed me to get off the behind and go to the used instrument store and get a trumpet/cornet ASAP, like I've been sayin' since the marching band days of yore...


ALBUM IN STORES NOW (DROPPED TUESDAY, FEB.10, 2009)

OH NO!!!!!! WHY YOU GO AND HIT RHI-RHI CHRIS!?!

Whether a fan or not, I think we can all agree, such a PYT! All the GYRL's are sending you Blessings, and Well-Wishes for a Speedy Recovery Rhianna!!!

DOMESTIC ABUSE IS NOT, REPEAT, NOT COOL, OR ACCEPTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO (AS FAR AS ALL HEARSAY) YALL'

So I just started this blog, and do not in any way, shape, or form want to get into the habit of blogging about celebrities, this ain't that kinda party, or blog yall', check out Perez if that's what 'cha lookin' fo'! That being said, there are moments in our collective pop culture that have a greater impact than we may want to acknowledge, and I'm afraid this occurrence between Rhianna and Chris Brown is one of those moments. I must admit, I was truly saddened to hear this news - two, young Black powerhouses in the Industry! Whether or not their relationship was/is? destined to last, you NEVER want to hear about situations like this...I mean domestic abuse!?! Yuck!!! Not to make light of the situation, but partner assault is so early 1990's - I actually thought that went out with burning down your boyfriend's mansion. And there's a lot of hearsay as to what really happened between the two; what I do know beyond the shadow of a doubt is that IT IS NEVER OKAY TO HIT A WOMAN, even if she did give you herpes.(which is not confirmed, and is probably just a vicious rumor). "You, young Chris Brown, should've asked some serrrrious questions before you went lickin' and stickin' mister...you feel me?" (Okay I'm done giving imaginary advice) One GYRLfriend of my mine has an interesting theory that a certain young woman beater's evil green eye was cast upon his beautious ladylove during all the Grammy festivities and hoopla...I mean the bank pulled from chewing gum doesn't quite compare with cosmetics, but again, all specualtion. When something like this happens to someone in the public eye (no pun intended WHATSOEVER), it just makes you think how you would deal with the same situation. All I got to say is "I wish a n**** would!"... Nah, nah, j/k (kinda sorta), this is SUPER SERIOUS,and I am quite disheartened by it, and hope both parties can amicably resolve this, and that Chris Brown, who, we allegedly hear, comes from an abusive background, gets the help he needs while he is still young before this wrecks him any more than it already has. DON'T BEAT YOUR WOMAN!!!
