Runnin' from the POlice.


...I hope you got your Timberlands on tight, cause I ain't givin up I'd rather duck these motherfsckers all night I'm runnin' through the projects, beyotch They'll never catch me Cause I'm loc'd and trigger happy on the, sneotch Don't say you never heard of me, til they murder me,
I'm a legend Do Thug Niggas go to heaven? I'm rollin with the thorough heads We gettin ghost on them hoes and yo I got no love for the 5 - 0 I'm runnin' from the police...


I think Tupac was one of the greatest songwriters.
He's pretty much the only hip hop artist I listen to.
I'm not too sure about all the hoopla when he died.
East coast, west cast territorial bullshit.
I think he was probably one of those guys who you felt good with.
Kinda like being with the cool kids.

Another sad story about someone so talented dying young.
Kinda wraps up what everybody seems to think.
Maybe he faked his death, maybe he's in witness protection.

Regardless, his music will live on.

Check out this skit from Chappelle.
 (laugh on)

Pittsburgh's goin to the Suuuuper Bowl.

...AGAIN!
I'm so excited! I really love Pittsburgh football. Especially the fans whom I may add, are die HARD. I remember going to the games and getting all dressed up in Steeler attire. Tailgating in the parking lot grilling chicken and sausage. Drinking Iron City and Coors Lite. Ahhhh, those were the days! I remember back in the day when the steel curtain ruled, and passed an immaculate reception. For over 25 years I'd often chant, one for the thumb, one for the thumb.
2006 was that year. Now, here we are again and I'm reveling in the thoughts about how we got here. And hopefully will win yet another title. Yeah, I'll don my Steeler jersey and wave the terrible towel. Scream and yell, pace back and forth, jump up and down, bite my nails. But in the end, not far off, you'll hear a little voice saying, one for the other thumb, one for the other thumb.

Who would have thunk it?

It would start with a hint of green. Everywhere. Little buds on the trees, new grass sprouting from the thawing ground. Lilie's popping up everywhere even surviving through the last snow. The whole earth just seemed to come alive. 

All day thunderstorms, rain pitter pattering on the roof, hearing the thunder in the distance. One one thousand, two one thousand. Everything just smelled so fresh.

Toes squishing in warm mud puddles, rain drops on my tongue. Oh how I loved Spring!
Laying in the back yard, smelling fresh cut grass. The hot summer sun beating down on my face. Climbing the apple and cherry trees and eating the fruit till your tummy ached. 

Sitting on the porch at night watching the gazillion stars and listening to the crickets and frogs. Ice cold lemonade, digging around in the flower bed, long bike rides. Summer was so much fun!
Watching the leaves turn colors, raking them into piles, jumping in only to have to rake them again. Oh how I miss the smell of autumn leaves! Carving pumpkins, hayrides, pulling out the sweaters. Fall was my favorite time of year!

Dropping temperatures, snowstorms and staying home from school. Sled riding, building snowmen, hot dogs over an open fire. Big big snowflakes falling gently on my face. Eating icicles that hung from the eaves. Snow angels, runny noses and frost bit toes. Winter was a wintry blast!

I do miss the four seasons.

Here we have four seasons: cold/sunny, cold/rainy, cold/foggy, cold/cold.

California. Who would have thunk it?

Everybody does it!

I never used to do it around people. Empty aisles, alone in the car, the other room, storage closet. Wherever people weren't, I was. Even that 4 letter word sounds embarrassing let alone hearing it. Or worse yet, smelling it. But, everybody does it. We'd joke and say that's what males do when they bond. We'd almost expect it out of guys, but not girls. Girls are supposed to be lady-like, right? We don't do stuff like that, at least out in public or around people. When I first met him he used to say, "I just wish girls would be themselves, and fart when they have to, because you know everybody does it." I would have been mortified, especially after just meeting him. But, I liked the way he thought. Different than most guys. He wanted a natural gal, nothing fake about him. Better be nothing fake about her. Then one day, it kinda slipped out and I thought I would die. But he wasn't disgusted. He actually seemed quite amused. So, little by little I'd squeak em, sneak em out. We'd laugh and sometimes run from each other. I've become so used to doing it, now I enjoy it. I think he wishes he never said "he wishes girls would just do it."
