G's to Gents..

big shout out to my girl, who inspired me to write about this.. you know who you are..

so yea, i'm guilty of watching the MTV show "G's to Gents".. blame it on the internet.. but i sit and catch this show online each week.. now, i'll be late every dang week, but i make sure i watch it.. that and some other shows..

but this show has me addicted.. another pseudo reality show, hosted by Fonzworth Bentley (created by Jamie Foxx), that talks supposed G's and turns them into Gentlemen..

*cough*

bullshit

*cough*

from the first episode i was like "where did they find these dudes?" G's?? really? gangsters? OG's?? really?? from where?? well, that was answered immediately, as they provided their hometowns.. i know people in Detroit and other cities are UPSET.. on some, "nah, that nigga ain't from here".. i apologize, but i had to drop the n-bomb.. it fit.. and nah, it's not a show full of Blacks.. everybody has a shot to take that label.. but them niggas are bitches.. punks.. whateva you want to call them.. they are far from a G, and far from Gentlemen.. but what's crazy is that they would be A LOT closer to being a Gentlemen than they ever will be as a G.. just ain't happening..

all of them soft.. a couple have heart, but heart doesn't make you a G.. i know some dudes i grew up with that would love to smack the ish out of them dudes just for posing.. shoot, in some cases, i want to get my slap in..

you got a dude that was on the show, that just needed a few hugs when he was younger.. dude had a temper, but dang if i ever felt like he would be a threat to me.. say whatever he want, but i would've just laughed at that dude.. another dude is the epitome of "doofy".. i can't think of a better word.. he's soft.. lacks any ounce of sense.. looks confused all of the dang time.. it's like the women that get their eyebrows done and it is arched in such a way that they look like you just asked them a question, and they responded with "huh"?.. well, he has the same way of making a face that shows he is utterly confused at every possible moment of the day.. and i feel bad for him.. i really do.. doesn't belong on the show at all.. belongs more on I Love New York or something.. or an episode of Dave Chappelle, but he wouldn't have to act.. he would just stand there, collect laughs for looking doofy, and get a check.. that's it..

but yeah, y'all have to check out this show.. if i'm lying i'm flying.. peep it.. it's worth it..

now, i have no clue who is going to win this show.. i haven't even paid enough attention to figure out what they win.. the nonsense is just too much to actually concentrate or act like this is a legit show.. it's just entertainment for me.. so i apologize for not giving you the rundown, cuz i really don't have one.. i just laugh.. make messed up faces, and wait for next week's episode..

i'm just sayin'..

Smart Stupid People..

i'm sick of y'all..

really, y'all are just stupid.. those of you that fall into this category are those of you who believe you're smarter (much smarter) than others, so you try to prove it each time out.. but when you try to prove it, all that you prove is that you are actually stupid.. right now i'm talking about some Black people..

i made this comment:

"the one thing i love about my people is that we are good for showing our ass eventually"..

that came from this chick trying to play games with other people's lives.. talking slick.. trying to act slick.. trying to run her mouth.. and every single time she tried to act smart, she just showed how stupid she really is.. it's amazing..

here are some ways to spot Smart Stupid People:

1. they talk to you about your own close people/friends/associates, not realizing those are your close people/friends/associates
2. they don't know when to shut the eff up
3. they confuse their lies
4. they argue with you, and you can switch it up midstream on them, and take their side, and then they'll flip and argue your side, but will do that wrong, and then try to flip back, but they are lost
5. they will say "i really like you" or "it's no one's fault" but RIGHT after that they will say the opposite
1. y'all might need an example on that.. you know like when someone will say "my team played hard, but they played so soft"..
6. did i say that they don't know when to shut the eff up?

that's just a start.. i'm sick of these people.. seriously.. i'm making my baby powder shirt as we speak (yeah, the clothing line is finally launching in the next month).. cuz i need to start smacking fire out of people's face.. yesterday i almost got into a physical altercation, just cuz i wanted to get this chick of my girl's back.. there is also this dude that i know the next time i see him, ain't shit to say.. just a fight.. i don't even get like that much anymore.. but this dude has been asking for one since May.. lil' fat mickey fickey.. him being fat doesn't matter, but that's just where my head is.. y'all MIGHT think i'm playing.. i MIGHT get in trouble for even typing this.. but at this point, i really don't care.. dude been talking slick, not getting me my money, and lying consistently.. dude ducks me.. had him come by a spot i was in, saw me in there, and took off.. i give it to him.. he has good luck or some angels.. cuz there have been moments when my people told me that he appeared at a spot i was just at like 5 minutes after i left.. his problem is that i know where he and his family live..

his other problem is that i'm going hard with the boxing thing.. really hard.. i know the numbers with my eyes closed.. second nature now.. throw in the various combinations, and while i'm bragging, i'm bragging.. point blank.. i won't skate around that.. i always felt that i was nice with my hands since growing up on the South Side of Chicago.. lil' dude with heavy hands.. (Herm, don't play).. but now i can fight traditionally (instead of southpaw).. now i know how to throw check hooks and "four plus".. so, yea, dude is getting it.. i told a few of his friends already.. they replied:

"he's just going to have to take that.. we ain't gonna allow him to go to the cops, etc.."

that's all i needed to hear.. plus i just got a check.. i got some money to escape if need be.. C3, i ain't gon' leave with the whole check, but i can't be an episode of Oz.. i know you feel me..

i'm just venting.. but i'm starting to strongly despise Smart Stupid People.. it's not about a degree.. but in many cases, these people don't even have a GED, but will profess like they were Cornell Barack Winfrey or something.. aka your next rap superstar..

i'm just sayin'..

You Are Embarrassing Me..

this dude is an embarrassment.. this dude interrupted my viewing last night of watching the Olympics.. for some reason NBC and Bob Costas felt the need to interview this dude.. something about him being the President or something.. who knows.. but this mickey fickey is just plain stupid..

it's embarrassing that the U.S. has to call this dude its President.. that this dude is known across the world to be the most powerful man in the U.S.. that this dude some how has the ability to call the shots.. i don't know if y'all were watching, but that man couldn't answer his own complete thought, let alone a question from Bobby Boy.. and that damn look/smirk? it's ridiculous.. instead of tapping the mic, i always want to tap his head and be on some "is this thing on?".. i'm just sayin'..

i can't pinpoint what he said that had me mad, because i think it was everything that he said and didn't say that made me mad.. it was him breathing that made me mad.. it was him on my tv that made me mad.. if there was one moment i wanted the picture to go out, it was that moment..

all i know is that we have to garner much more respect across the world with a guy that's as intelligent as Barack is.. i know the world has been like, "i've been talking to myself for the last 8 years, cuz this idiot don't have the lights on upstairs"..

i'm just sayin'..

Scary Sights..

ok, so the photos from the Beijing Olympics came out.. this is just one of them.. is it me, or is this a scene from X-Files or some other scary futurist alien movie? Taken, anyone? V? (ok, that's old school, so y'all might not all get that)..

now i realize that this is after some fireworks went off, but dang if it didn't look scary.. a few of them did.. since i debuted that apocalypse joint the other day, this reminds me of it.. but, i'm excited about the Olympics.. i always planned on being there, then Bush happened, and then the economy tanked, and then i had to realize that there was no way i could make my first visit to that country.. but it will happen in its own time.. i know that.. but i will be watching the US give it to cats across the board.. basketball, swimming (Phelps owns that pool, dude was bred for that), track.. we got that.. soccer? yeah, i'm praying..

but yeah, i'm excited about the Olympics, but i don't think the rest of the US is.. for the first time that i can remember, there isn't much around that i see people excited about it.. maybe it's Bush.. maybe it's the foreclosures.. maybe it's the economy.. i just don't feel the love..

am i wrong?

Signs..

this is my new ish.. each week i'm going to try to put together more signs that the world is coming to an end.. in my inaugural edition, i'm just going off things i meant to blog about, but never got to it.. enjoy.. feel free to add your own..

1. Sperm Donors being forced to pay child support.. Now if this ain't a sign, i don't know what is.. i was watching Good Morning America today and they had a feature on this.. dude even had a contract with the person he donated his seeds to, saying that he wouldn't have to provide financial support, and the judge said that wasn't enough.. so i started to listen more, and i know some of these cases hinge on the sperm donor having some form of communication with the child.. but still, since when is a binding agreement no longer binding? and isn't the ish called "sperm donation"?? in this recession, men are going to have to find another way to get some bread in their pocket.. $20 ain't worth 18 years of child support.. i'm just sayin'..
2. McCain meets with Daddy Yankee to discuss, of all things, immigration rights.. Nigga please.. Daddy Yankee? Can someone check to make sure this dude is legal? McCain depicts Barack to be a cross between Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton, and then flies Daddy Yankee out to meet him? i would've loved to be the fly on that wall, to see McCain (already hard of hearing) trying to understand Gasolina.. was there an interpreter there??
3. Gas prices.. when you have a $10 bill, and you can only get 2 gallons? yea, that's an issue.. i sat over the weekend contemplating if i was going to spend $20 for some gas.. i decided not to (i'll get some tomorrow), cuz i was like, that will not even move my gauge.. i'm not feeling this ish.. on another note, it was nice of that one church that bought $15,000 worth of gas (i know they got a nice write-off) and sold it for $1 a gallon for up to 10 gallons.. now that's what i'm talking about.. you could have my $300 check, if you allow me to be able to have $1 a gallon gas for 2 months..
   
4. Luke has a reality show.. nuff said..
5. i'm actually going to watch the Teen Choice Awards tonight, just to see that dance battle.. sigh..
   

Q Murder..

I'm on my fitness kick right now.. Training with Optimum Fitness on a personal level, and then with ARC Fitness on the weekends, doing fitness boot camps.. Some of y'all know that i've been at it for a bit (with a few breaks), but i would say that i've been going hard and non-stop for about 4 months.. from that, i got the nickname "Q Murder"..

i really don't give up when it comes to the workouts.. i've tapped out on a few of the really crazy joints that i was doing trying to keep up with the trainers during their own workouts.. i've even thrown up a few times.. had some dizzy spells, all that.. but because i kept coming back, and kept giving it my all, i got that nickname.. i told them that i would be coming.. that i was placing bounties on cats' heads.. and i am now making true on that promise..

i'm proud (no ego, ok, maybe a small one) to say that cats ain't seeing me no more.. i already have the top slot in Harlem on this fitness stuff (non trainers), and every Saturday, more and more people are coming for my head and for my spot.. i'm letting y'all know right now, that it's not happening..

a few weeks ago i debuted the 1-arm, 1-leg pushup which y'all can see me doing in the picture.. blew their minds.. i figured out i could do it about 2 months ago.. but didn't spring it on them.. to top it off, i did it after doing 2 consecutive workouts.. none of the trainers could do it.. so i was floating, and i became a street workout legend.. my forte is pushups and pullups.. i can do just about any pushup that i can dream up.. i haven't done the 2 finger, 1 arm pushup that Bruce Lee did, but i haven't tried either.. i don't think i'm ready.. my newest joint is really getting sick on the pullup bar, though.. i'm working my way up.. flips on the bars.. core isolations on the bars, all that good stuff..

i feel better than i have ever felt in my life.. i'm almost positive that i don't have any body fat at all.. none.. i'm trying to beat Father Time.. trying to stay as young and fit as possible.. i owe it all to Triple Platinum (my trainer).. dude made me believe in myself.. i'm hoping to soon start a youth fitness program, cuz this is important.. i'm seeing too many fat kids around.. i'm not saying you gotta be skinny.. i'm not saying you gotta do workouts that i'm doing.. all i'm saying is that you should be active.. shoot, you have to be..

i already know my body isn't the same.. shoot, my left knee is not a good look for me.. if i play ball (like i did last Saturday -after my workouts, but i still won), i can guarantee that i'll be limping for 2 days.. guarantee it.. i need to see a doc, but when i messed it up last year, i was diagnosed with a sprained MCL.. really nothing to do for it.. after paying those medical bills, i'm good with a doc right now.. eventually i'll get it checked out again, but for right now, i'll just be prepared to hang up the sneakers on the balling tip..

but yeah, i felt the need to blog about this, because i'm really trying to make this youth thing work.. i'm still a lil' fella.. by working out in the parks on Saturdays, a lot of kids come around.. i love it.. love them.. and so i try to get them involved.. since i'm not 6'3" and 239lbs, i'm realistic to them.. so i need to ride this thing out.. 1 child at a time..

Q.

Dance Machine..

it's been a minute, but i was inspired last night.. so much so that i woke up today wanting to blog about it..

so it started with me watching Step Up 2.. yea, i Netflix'd it.. didn't want to see it in the theater, cuz i felt a certain away about it being based on white dancers that aren't even from the street.. but i got over it enough to have it in my Queue.. well, last night i watched it, and i was VERY entertained, i won't front.. them cats can move.. i mean Hi-Hat (GREAT choreographer) did the majority of the choreography, so many props to her for that.. but the dancers were sick..

yea, i might have had an issue with the main character's best/signature move being this - in the words of Riley from the Boondocks after he was called the N-Word - peep the S-Word episode - by the way, this is the longest run-on sentence ever - "booty dance, do the booty dance, booty dance, do the booty dance.. ok, if you don't get that, then go buy the 2nd season of the Boondocks.. yeah, that was her best move.. moving on..

they had all types of dancers in there.. sick..

so, as one of my favorite shows is MTV's America's Best Dance Crew (America, y'all suck!! Can you get the voting right, please?? How in the heck is Fanny Pak still there? In the final 3?? Really??), i'm on this dance stuff.. been on it since last season.. so after watching the movie, my mind was going crazy.. shoot, i woke up this morning with the YouTube clips in my head.. and that movie in my head.. Crazy.. here's my issue..

YouTube..

my guilty pleasure when searching for any and everything, but right now i'm on this whole dancing and catching crazy workouts on YouTube.. so, back to the point.. dancing.. last night i stumbled on this:

M&M Cru vs. ACDC

peep it.. dude from Step Up 2 is in the ACDC crew.. basically they challenged Mylie Cyrus and her girl Mandy to a dance competition.. really, it's not a competition at all as ACDC is just retarded.. sick with it.. And Adam grabbed about all the best dancers to form his team.. well, this thing spun out of control as it became the 1st online dance competition.. M&M came back, but so did ACDC.. once you click that link, just look at the other videos.. shoot, ACDC even had Chris Brown join.. and you know he's retarded with it..

so i started to think how it got to this point.. started to think about cultures being mixed and then straight snatched.. i'm not hating right now.. cuz after i thought about it this morning, it's typical.. Black ppl need to get better at owning their own creations, instead of having others snatch it, then flip it, then make loot off of it, then in some cases become better at our own ish!! (see Asher Roth).. i sat there thinking why we can't just put our own stuff out there.. this young white boy, Adam, basically rounded his ppl up and they were all down with it.. could you see Blacks doing that?? that quickly? even turning a profit by making ACDC tshirts.. it's crazy.. it also hurts..

we can't join together for nothing.. yeah, i said it.. nothing.. we suck.. point blank.. we can cry all we want, but we need to take the blame for this ish.. letting our stuff go, and then when we see it going, we don't even try to get back in on it.. we just complain (maybe like i'm doing right now)..

with that said, i'm starting my own dance crew.. i haven't figured out a name yet, but i already have 2 members.. cuz as i started to think this morning, we already have been dancing together.. it's me and 2 women.. 1 older (slightly younger than me) and 1 younger (over half of my age).. the youngest one is the star.. she can dance her lil' behind off.. the other woman can as well.. me? shoot, i just make up dances.. i'm like a bootleg choreographer.. i make up dances to my favorite songs on the fly.. my issue is remembering them.. so, "Don't Touch Me" by Busta Bus?? yea, i have that dance down.. so does the older woman in my crew.. hers is for females, mine adds a masculine flair to it..

i'm definitely a nut, so don't mind me.. we wouldn't be battling ACDC, cuz we ain't that nice.. but i'm seriously going to have our crew do some stuff.. starting later this month, cuz we ain't all together right now.. but, i'm going to come up with a name (y'all can help), and then i'm getting our stuff up on YouTube.. we might have on masks or something, but hey.. i won't talk about it, i'm going to be about it..

stay tuned.. and also check those dang videos.. crazy.. it's worth it.. just click the link and enjoy!!
