P.T.S.D (Post Thanksgiving Special Delivery)

"Remind me again not to ever piss you off..." - Angel/CoWorker


1:40 second round TKO by punches. No submissions. Used a full mount and had to eat a right before coming down with the rain. It lasted a good 20 seconds before he gave up and dropped his hands. Once he ate a good left and some elbows it was over. There was blood, but it wasn't mine. Fair to say though he took me down twice. Not hard enough because I instantly locked that ass in guard and worked from there. I had the first round and the second was mine as well. Job done, party over.

So, what have we learned from all of this? Some still and will knuckle up to squash a beef. Most muhfuckas these days shoot first, but I'm not a muhfucka now am I? Before some of yall go and look for some way to shoot down what just happened, lemme remind yall one thing:

I never said I was against unity and the spirit of brotherhood and all that. I never said I was part of any cycle that's killing black men off the face of the earth.

What I said was I have a beef with a former friend, and because of this he and I both chose to fight to settle it. Not some in the streets shit either, somewhere controlled so one doesn't have to grieve over the other. No one gets a call home saying that their man ain't coming. Being almost 30 you learn to overcome and overlook alot of shit. Everyday? I don't think so, even in my young years.

Now it's over, and it's back to reality. Whether we can have a beer and watch football is beyond me. Yet there's a big part of me that's been trying to move on, and now I can.

Hope turkey day was aight for yall, I worked and yeah I was there 15 hours. (You care? Save me a plate)

"Muhfuckas done took the day off to see this shit...." - J*Surin (MMA Fighter/CoWorker)


You would think that the week of thanksgiving is all about football and shit. Not in the 07' though. Know this, on Tuesday, The SoD and H20 got some shit to settle and I'm well prepared on my side. I took the time I had off to work on my striking and high kicks. (Thanks to someone I have opened my hips quite a bit since last you dig?) I could already kick, but not high and controlled. I was put through the wringer trying to get it right. Now that I did, someone just might catch a CroCop unexpectedly. I did say I was looking to knockout instead of submit so maybe it just might happen. On the other hand, my ground game is vicious so no worries there. I just hope I don't get caught, last thing I need is to be on the receiving end of a good right. It's reality that it just might happen, but the Capricorn in me stays confident that I'll win.

Good always overcomes evil.

My Pats still running shit, and my Celtics are not that far behind. Seeing that BC is number 17 hopefully they wake up. Not their fault though as the BCS is like the worst ranking system in all sports. With only two losses, it sucks that they are overshadowed by teams who don't even have a strong conference yet are in the top 5. Funny what a couple of losses will do to you. Just know that we are going for the Championship next week, and no disrespect to my people's in VA, but we gon' fuck yall up.

The book is almost done (yay) and to the people constantly asking for a shout out and shit go head'. I can't put everyone in there that helped inspire me simply because there's too many. I can however say that there just might be a poem dedicated to each and every person I know that has been there for me through this whole process. From my first poem and on. Alot of yall is special to me, don't let this book be your way of figuring out how special you are. You dig?

This Friday its Club Charisma in Hartford, day after Thanksgiving. Big up B*Child for hosting LoveJones Cafe this past Wednesday. I see you are doing it big and I have your book which is fire I must say. It's gon' be something to slam with you. Can't wait to get it on. Speaking of which, we should get together for a duet on the CD. I can see us doing Field's Finest ala BIG and Hov. We'll see though, time will tell.

T*Baby, ain't no falling off, shit is tighter that buttcheeks on a hot day, nothing but straight crack.

K*, take your time and do you....it don't matter if you write in years, we here and not going anywhere. Besides, any of these fucks stopping life just to look and not talk are lost in the sauce anyway. You know the lurks be out there, fuck em, and us if you have to. Sheeeeit, you got big thangs goin' hate it or love it, the matrix is what you make of it dig me???

On that note I'm out.

3:25 in the first round....KO (by high kick :D )

"....you know its' goin down when you get here..." - Smokey Smurf

Someone done went and fucked up the church's money. You damn right, my sister from VA done found me, and yeah we talked last night. Only a prelude of things to come and more posts for that ass. Know this though, when we link up, its normally curtains for the opposition. We two peas in a pod and when you have a combo like us coming to your town, house, or block, just know to hide the kids....this ain't no G rated shit here.

We done been through it, but in the end we always knew how to link up when shit hit the fan. This time she looked for me and found me via myspace. Yeah the shit is good for something I guess...nah, let me stop. I'm promoting my poetry through it and well it's working out for the most part.

On another note my Pats are still undefeated, Boston College with one loss, Celtics undefeated, and well you already know about the Sox. Nuff said and moving on.

It looks like I got some stops to make going down south....yall better have something on my tank!!! Nah, kidding, can't wait, it's on once again.

Aight, gotta run, it's raining and I'm going puddle jumping.

"When he comes back, yall already know what the deal is...." - My Supervisor

Fuck you pay me....no really fuck you pay me. I don't know how many times I gotta say it but damn, it's the truth ain't it? I'm so sick of the back and forth about the parameters and intangibles about the place in which I work. I come and do my job, those kids got love for me and trust me with their lives. I make it happen for them as if they were mine, take me away from the equation and there is hell up in harlem. Now that I have 3 weeks to think and pursue other projects, I wonder how the fort is holding up. I got a call yesterday that confirmed everything.

"You ready to come back?"
"Why?"
"Cause the kids aren't doing anything until you get here"
"What do you mean?"
"They all are on strike and won't do shit, except eat and play gameboy's, they aren't talking to the staff on your end of the week except Diesel"
"Oh shit for real? Oh, well what you want me to do, go on speaker and address them all?"
"No, you don't have to do that, but it would be helpful for them to hear your voice"
"Then I should be on the clock"
"Good point"
"Nah, it is the point, they knew what they were doing, they broke it, let them fix it."
"You're pissed aren't you?"
"No, disgusted. Can't wait to come back, but still disgusted with the place."
"You got the spot when you get here, I already told the Number 2 that when you come back there's gonna be some issues."
"You don't have to do shit, I'll handle whatever comes, all you do is sit back and watch."
"I see"
"No, you will see soon enough"

and that's that. Fuck you pay me, enough said.

My crew is reaching out from all over, and you know what? It's about to be back on again. I wonder after all this time how much we have grown, and learned. I know I learned alot, both good and bad. It's the way of the world. I still am me for those asking and yeah it's still all good. First stop is the bean to check the second family of mine and then it's down south to make it happen with D*Unit (my sister). All before my b-day and yeah yall, I can't wait for that either.....who cares if it's a month and change away.

We all can dream can't we?

Hey Tbaby* you betta still be celebrating.....

I'm out yall be cool
