News ... Keeping you on the up and up

DJ Kaos: Love The Night Away (Tiedye Mix)

^^^^Something that Tehran needs about now. When things like the current situation in Tehran occur it makes you put life back into perspective and realize how good you actually have it. I didn't watch any of the available feed primarily because I didn't want to be sad. Reading the news reports from CNN and BBC is enough for me. The abuse these people are going through from tear gas to being beating by batons, hosed down by water, and kicked is ridiculous. I wonder what President Bush would have said about this... lets say problem. [Music change-> Julianna Barwick: Bode] Would he have intervened??? Would this have been seen as a threat to the war on terror. As for Barack's decision to stay out of it: I think that is the smartest decision he has made thus far in office *don't get me wrong the way that he killed that fly was beast*. But yeah idk I wonder how this is going to play out... [Yacht: Psychic City (Voodoo City)]

IN OTHER NEWS


Stay away from Nestle cookie dough... it has been recalled for E. coli

What do you think of Obama granting some benefits for the homosexual community? I think it is great!!! :) CNN critics say it is too little too late, I feel like how can it be too little too late Obama has only been in office for 6 months!!! What is he suppose to do bend over and grab his ankles for a social issue that is not of vital importance?!? Don't get me wrong I think that human equality based on sex, race, and sexuality is important hell I am affected by two out of three but I personally think that the financial crisis as well as the living situations for the majority of the American population tips the scale of importance just a little bit more... don't you???

[Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Skeletons]

These next two tidbits of new brought up some discussion between me and two other people... Lets look at Usher & Tameka and Nas & Kelis... For those of you who have been living under a rock both "Hollywood couples" are getting divorced. Now there are three things that you should never talk about amongst others money, politics, and religion. In a way this deals with all three. My position is that marriage basically is a legal contract stating that since we are getting married I in way am giving half of myself to you and you are doing the same and that due to these circumstances I am now able to get XYZ benefits and a tax break. Now if we divorce and I am the bread winner in our family it is my responsibility to give you half of what I own, plus alimony, and child support if we have kids unless already prearranged.
Chick & Guy think that marriage is about [Jay-Z & Wallpaper: D.O.A./ 99 problems (remix) ] love and blah blah blah {hey I am biased}. They believe that in the event of divorce that there should only be child support involved. Why you wonder??? Because for one the non-bread winner should have been able to save some money while being married and was able to live by their own means before marriage and still should be able to after the fact. [Martha Wainwright: Factory]
I decided to through a monkey wrench in and ask the question what if it comes to light that the husband is not the father of the kids. What if the wife had been having an affair the entire time while being married??? You won't be surprised by the differing views.
Now according to the law IF while being married and your wife bears children those children legally are yours. Paternity does not matter. Why? because you are the father figure and the system doesn't care about the husband or the wife for that matter. It is all about the kids.
Guy said basically well ain't that a bitch and that he doesn't agree with that. Understandable. Chick gave an interesting view... Is it wrong? Yes Is it right? Yes. I mean if you can honestly say that after how many years that you would [Hercules and Love Affair: Blind] just separate yourself completely from a child you are lying to yourself. Also, take into account the emotional heartache of that child.
I found my view to favor Chick's. I mean I think that the husband should be apart of the child's life. But I also think that is unfair for the father to have to pay child support to support a child that is not biologically his... But I think to be in a child's life emotionally you also need to be there financially and I continue on and on...
Now I am rambling so I am going to stop now...

Done for now... Deuces!!!!

Just something new

I am sitting here trying to decide what to write on. What is important to me at this moment in time. I realized that I am about to be 20 years old and I have no direction in my life. I have no idea what I want or who I want to be. Actually maybe that is a lie. I want to be happy, responsible, and all that blah blah blah but it is more than that. I don't have any passions or ideas. But I am trying to do something new and a part of these ideals is to try something new. So lets see... I am going to break this up into books, music, and fashion... Maybe my blog will give me some direction into what I want...

Books:

  • I am reading a new one it is called Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall & Denver Moore. Thus far, the book has potential. It is based on the lives of the authors. Ron starts out as a modern day slave (The scene is set in the late 50s) and Denver is the guy who achieved the American dream... I am not that far in but it seems interesting...
  • Next on my reading list is Shanghai Girls by Lisa See


Fashion:

  • Peter Franco Sneakers... crazy thing about them, they aren't sneakers... but you should check them out...
  • I feel like yellow is going to be the color of the year... or "the new black" even though black can never be replaced
  • I am really feeling this smell I found it is called Lolita Lempicka... AMAZING

MUSIC!!!! People to watch out for... if you didn't already know
  • Grip Plyaz
  • Jahvon
  • Melanie Fiona
  • Bathgate
  • Nexx Level
  • Stalley !!!! I love this dude

So today I was thinking that life is like the music. Some people are the mega hits some people are one hit wonders some people are the songs that you will never forget. And there are the songs that at one point in time made you so happy to hear and now you cringe when you hear the back beat on a remix. You don't even need the words just a slight reminder of it. Now the question that I am now trying to figure out is what if you are in the car and your friend loves the song and you don't do you change it??? Or what if you haven't heard it in  a while do you think your feelings will change??? Idk I know this is random... I am working on something here... So work with me.

Upsetting

How is it that Jay Electronica and Q-tip are banned from Xavier's campus? Last year our musical guest was Cassidy... I mean really as I saw online today when Nas said hip hop was dead he must have been listening to the radio! But seriously artist like Jay Electronica and Q-tip give music that is food to the mind; Cassidy on the other hand... not so much. I understand that people receive different messages from songs or whatever but lets be real what variety of messages can you get from the album B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story. I mean this is my personal opinion

Young Dro and Yung LA, Wayne, TI, Drake, Mums, Dj Don Cannon, Jadakiss, & this stuff you need to be put on to
