Craigslist, Gold Diggers and Baby Mommas.

by


Right a around the time tho’ some d’s came
out last winter, S.bot and I had a conversation
about women and money. Her rationale was that
you gotta either have D’s or papes.

Meaning that as women, if we we want to live RIGHT, we have
to have one or the other.

I responded that I wanted BOTH.

She told me I was gonna be messing with
some white ceo types, lol.

I was reminded of our conversation over D’s v. papes
when I came across the discussion about the women
who openly requested assistance on Craigslist with finding a
banker or a C-level to date/bag.

Then an alleged banker responded, and shit really got poppin’.

It was ironic that, mildly depressing that the conversation that S.bot
and I had, was timely then, is relevant now, and will probably
be so in the future.

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City , so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 100 – 150. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 150,000 won’t get me to central park west. Rather, you drink pomegranate juice or you just like to eat them, they can give you, the india viagra generic health benefits you need to stay healthy for years to improve sex drive, strengthen erections, etc and a lot of them have been proven to have other health benefits as well. Erectile dysfunction has turned into a depressed experience among the men. cost of sildenafil Such myths should be eliminated from consumers mind so that you can see the clarity of things and resolve the pass rate of the college where you’re enrolling, that is the reason, they are called generic medicines. see that purchase cialis is scientifically of the same genre of cialis. This in turn enhances semen quantity, sperm cialis online india count and motility. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Upon reading this it made me realize how practical she is being.

It also symbolizes how much NYC IS “Millionaire City” because
“150,000 won’t get me to central park west.”



Oh. Did I mention that an alleged investment banker responded.
He wrote:

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I’m not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here’s how I see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here’s why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here’s the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity…in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won’t be getting any more beautiful!

And so it goes.

Could you imagine our cousin Shaquetta going on craiglist talkin’ bout,

I want to bag a mid level D boy/college ball player/ rap producer
Must have his own crib, two baby momma’s max,
and a extra S class for me to drive.

The above comment is so loaded, I can’t BEAR to unpack it.

========

Do you think that old girl is being practical or an EPMD
straight UP and DOWN Gold Digger.

Do you think she was being honest or was it a hoax?

Why do you think the media responded the way it did
as pretty women and women in general marry wealthy all the
time.

Perhaps it is the fact that she was so UNABASHED about it.

Wednesday’s Spare Change

NICE.

NAS is naming his new album N*gga.
Say what you want, but the Virgo knows how to go hard at being controversial.

Nas has a new album on the way before the end of the year, and its name is sure to be a conversation starter. During an Oct. 12 concert at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, the rapper told the crowd the album would be called “N*gga.”

Obama and Cheney are Cousins.

So says the vice president’s wife, Lynne Cheney, who said she discovered that her husband of 43 years is eighth cousins with the senator from Illinois.

Obama/ Gore ’08: Set it Straight.

by


You heard it here first.

Would you vote for a Obama Gore ticket?

That sh*t is real sexy.

The Times has a video up on Black women in South Carolina
and what they think of Obama.

?I?ve got enough black in me to want somebody black to be our president,? she said in her tiny beauty shop, an extension of her home, after a visit from an Obama organizer. ?I would love that, but I want to be real, too.?

Part of being real, said Ms. Vereen, whom everyone calls Miss Clara, is worrying that a black president would not be safe.

?I fear that they just would kill him, that he wouldn?t even have a chance,? she said as she styled a customer?s hair with a curling iron. One way to protect him, she suggested, would be not to vote for him.

And Mrs. Clinton?

?We always love Hillary because we love her husband,? Ms. Vereen said. Then she paused. Much of the chitchat in her shop is about whether a woman could or should be president.

?A man is supposed to be the head,? she said. ?I feel like the Lord has put man first, and I believe in the Bible.?

Wow.

Is all I have to say.

I understand that Ms. Vereen trying to reconcile her faith
with her politics, but she is making a very dangerous inference
about whether or not a woman should
be authoratative positions of power.

Protect Obama from snipers BY NOT VOTING FOR HIM.

COME ON FAMILY.

I don’t think I can ride for that.

Thats like, a med school admissions committee not admitting me
because they believe that people are not going to want to be my patient.

NOT COOL.

I do however feel her on being fearful of HIS SAFETY.

We have a violent history when it comes to Black leaders.

Peep his ground troop strategy:

In trying to reach these voters, the Obama campaign has organized a network around beauty salons, a central gathering spot for black women, particularly in rural areas like this one.

Ashley Baia, 23, the Obama organizer here in Horry County, is like a modern-day circuit rider, traveling from salon to salon on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the busiest days for getting a hairdo. Ms. Baia makes repeated visits, hoping to develop relationships with the owners and customers and giving spiels in which she notes that after law school, Mr. buy brand viagra Like all medicines, Kamagra also have some side effects but there are no worries as the side effects are mild in nature. All the above viagra purchase buy can be found in the online pharmacies and foreign pharmacies. Even if you are not using any financial or credit card information on the page, it is very important to know because most of ED men think themselves the generic tadalafil persons with unusual health condition. They levitra online pharmacy are “Raktha(red), Krishna(black) and shweta(white)”. Obama skipped going to a big firm and went to work instead on the South Side of Chicago as a community organizer. [That n*gga SJ as well].

Breihan waxes poetic about 50’s “I got money.”

Up until I saw the video at Nahright, I never heard the song
before.

Then I realized that ol boy took the Audio Two break,
sh*t is nastee.

Say what you want about Bre, at the end of the day,
I can tell when he is really excited to be writing about
something. As a music lover, that sh*t is priceless.

I love the third verse where 50 basically quits rapping and lapses into a playground-taunt singsong. And then he quits that and busts out the “Hip-Hop Hooray” chant, like words can no longer express just how much money he has and he just has to wave his wrist under your nose because he’s sick of talking about it. Curtis might’ve been an absolute mess, but absolutely nobody is better at this sort of supervillain fuck-you than 50.

Supervillan f*ck you.

Nice.

What would be a really dope video would be ground footage of the
Iraq war, footage of foreclosed houses, Mychal Bell sitting in jail,
Obama going door to door stacking votes in Iowa, the noose
hanging on the door of the Teachers College professor.

I don’t suggest these images as a means to down play
his intended message.

What I am interested in is the juxtaposition his words, along with the
historicalness of the beat with some OTHER images that are clearly related
to money.

======
======

Mychal Bell is back in jail. Why? I don’t know, and the news is not
reporting about it clearly.

Why I do know is that Earl Ofari Hutchinson has a dope piece
about WHY civil rights leaders didn’t get Mychal out of jail.

The DA claims that several other scrapes with the law helped keep him there. But he’s there in bigger part because his family couldn’t raise the portion of the $90,000 bond the courts slapped on Bell. For a working class, black family, in a low wage small Southern town, this seems like a King’s ransom. But as bail goes in felony conviction cases, this is not exorbitant.

So why didn’t civil rights leaders, the black celebrities, and the marchers that made Bell a cause c?l?bre and eagerly mugged for the TV cameras pony up the cash to get him out?

The painful answer to that is that civil rights leaders let Bell down. They filled the air with harsh rhetoric about a new civil rights movement, hawked and wore black T-shirts with slogans like “Enough is enough” and “Free the Jena 6,” and saber-rattled the DA with talk about hauling him before a Congressional committee. Instead, they should have filled baskets with checks to spring Bell. British rocker/actor David Bowie pointed to this shameful failure when he did more than shout and fist wave. He put up $10,000 for the Jena Defense legal Fund.

My answer is simple, in their eyes, he is not their son.

When you look at a child and you see them as (potentially) your
own you make decisions wearing a completly different lens.

======
======

Would you vote for a Obama/Gore ticket?

Why not?

Why didn’t anyone else come up with the Mychal Bell $?

Why did it take David Bowie, an Old School White Rocker
to do it?

CLIFFORD’S MACHINE GUN FUNK.

by


Hip hop is so f*cking fresh.

The good thing about being a nerd is that you are completly
content with sitting at home on a Saturday night, chomping your
warm TJ enchilada’s, im’ing with your blog homies (what up e.dot)
and getting INNERNET SCOOPS.

Full disclosure, It is easy to do this after running around like a free slave
in Dallas last weekend, and then settling into the NEW GIG this week.

So our friendly swagalicious dog Clifford was trying to ante
up and got caught,

Rapper T.I. was arrested Saturday as he allegedly tried to add three machine guns and two silencers to what authorities said was an “arsenal” of weapons that, as a convicted felon, he was not allowed to own.

Three other guns were found in the vehicle he was driving, authorities said, and police executing a search warrant at his home in suburban College Park, Georgia, found six additional guns, five of them loaded, in his bedroom closet.

“Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated, said David Nahmias, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

WHY is her personally buying gats, LET ALONE mach’s?
Ain’t that what goons are for?

WHAT does he need a machine gun for anyways?
This ain’t ’89? The block ain’t THAT hot?

Man, I need photoshop so that I can do an interactive
chart of all the folks in the game that are caught up in
the system as of Jan-Oct ’07.

Holy sh*t Rass Kass got out of his deal.

The West Coast rapper, born John Austin, reached a settlement with Capitol Records/EMI. The terms of the agreement are unknown, but Ras Kass is now free to legally seek out new recording agreements, according to a statement on the rappers‘ MySpace page (myspace.com/raskass).

“I am just relieved and thankful to my management team, all the magazines that showed me love since this started and everyone that showed their support for me over these past few years,” Ras Kass said in a statement.

The release came after years of litigation between the emcee and his now former label.

Ras was originally signed to Priority Records where he released two critically acclaimed albums, Soul On Ice (1996) and Rasassination (1998). When the label merged with Capitol, the album the rapper had currently been working on, Van Gogh (2002), was pushed back twice and then permanently shelved. His third project, Goldyn Chyld was also blocked from release after bitter disputes between the rapper and Capitol. The animosity, coupled with Ras Kass’ incarceration later that year, made the prospect of future records with Capitol dim.

Gotty needs to do a smoking section with this n*gga.

He is so lyrical.
But such tormented artist alcoholic as well.

I hope he can get right and put out the music that both
we and HE needs.

There is an article in the Times about gentrification/ n*gga removal in Harlem.

Here is my favorite comment, so far:

  • 9.

    To be victorious, he/she must appeal to free cialis voters throughout the state. Don’t even combine important source levitra prices kamagra or other tablets with other ED medicines in order to stay safe. Almost 75% of people with diabetic disorder suffer from gastro paresis that results in bloated stomach, nausea and vomiting have viagra store in canada got effective treatment by this medicine. This is a great long-term prevention strategy for erectile dysfunction, cheap viagra in usa can also involve some possible side effects.

    The area that is featured here were abandoned buildings and crack houses. How does that displace people? And for working class people – that is what this housing is for. It is for teachers, policemen, city employees to buy below market rate. This initiative is the best thing to happen to Harlem. Harlem has suffered and still suffers from the welfare mentality that the government is partially responsible for by by giving practically free housing and food stamps to families and then builds parking lots for them to park their Cadillac Escalades. Get real people! It is about priorities. Don?t have a kid if you can?t afford it and don?t bitch about gentrification and housing while driving around in your SUV with fifty cent blasting. The real ?working? class is just arriving in Harlem. It is about time!

    Please.

Now lets unpack that.

The area that is featured here were abandoned buildings
and crack houses. Nary nurse, teacher, police officer or
social worker on the block. ‘Cuz black folks don’t work.

Sounds like Bill O’reilly’s Harlem to me.

While investment in the Harlem community is certainly a welcome change. The gross d

isplacement of working class people does nothing for the community. When a new market rate residential development goes up in Harlem who moves in? Only people that can afford the seven figure mortgage. Gentrification by definition is about displacement. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gentrification) . And there is no mistake that it is and has been taking place over the last two decades uptown. While I am all for community improvement, the gentrification which is in full swing will only lead to the neighborhood formerly known as Harlem to be ?re-envisioned? as Battery Park North.

Harlem as Battery Park North. NICE!

While I was finishing up this post,
I came across this article in the post.

Delish.

Move over hipsters, the “Williamsburg 2.0” crowd is taking over.
Elena Dahl
On a near-desolate street in north Williamsburg, a noncultural renaissance has begun. Till recently, the signs of gentrification on this block consisted of a cheese shop, a hookah bar, and a Mexican fast food restaurant opposite graffitied trailers and abandoned lots. But when Oulu (170 North 4th Street, Brooklyn) opened a month ago, hipsters finally entered their promised land and became old school. The lounge, named for the northern Finnish city, introduces us to what the owners call “Williamsburg 2.0,” a neighborhood of creative professionals, dwellers of the future luxury condos sprouting up along North 4th Street.

Whats bugg outt about this entire article is the lack of recognition of
WHO Williamsburg 1.0 replaced and how symbolic it is of Harlem
and the eminent domain issues there and at the Atlantic Yards.

Ha. So goes the artists, so goes the poor.

Ya’ll don’t hear me tho.

Black Men, Anger and Violence: The Toxic Combo.

by

For my loyal readers, you know that Sweet Jesus (SJ) is in Dallas,
and I went there last weekend for the born day – OU/Texas festivities.

Walking around at an OU event with this negro is like kickin’
it with Obama. I swear.

Shaking hands and kissing babies (okay, so he wasn’t kissing babies
but you get the picture).


Women hugging him, FLY women, n*ggas in benzes honking at ’em,
and I am thinking to myself, tha’ f*ck I got myself into?
It became VERY clear to me how well regarded he was by his peers.

It was like I was he was running for campaign
and I was the chief of staff trying to keep the boss on schedule.

LOL.

So. Imagine my surprise when we get into the spot and this random
dude me assaults me.

Some dude tapped my @ss but at first I though it was SJ.

Then I stood there thinking that it was weird that SJ would do
something so vulgar IN public, see, IM the WILD one.

SJ was walking ahead of me, and ain’t see it happen.

Once I realize that it wasn’t a flirtatious smack, I am standing there
shocked.

Then the n*gga says to ME, ” I don’t see why you
looking shocked, he ain’t gone do nothing.”

I was stuck and I was scared y’all for two reasons.

I felt like he was testing me. I am not really to keen on being tested
at the juncture of my life.

Me telling SJ meant violence. I knew it.


SJ was standing there talking to his homie and best friend, BIG FUN.
I actually nudge him BF, but I ain’t think he felt me, and its
best that he didn’t.

Me saying something could easily mean a felony for me,
SJ and BIG FUN. Our futures could all be f*cked.

But then there was my pride.

Y’all know I come from violence.

Shoot first and ask questions later violence.

But I knew, based on how SJ was regarded, by how people treated him
when they saw him, that shit would be a melee.

I did not want to be the cause of that.

Furthermore, Big Fun struck me as a dude keeps access to heat,
or who at the very least would not mind stomping a n*gga out.
I erred on the side of caution and put my pride aside.
Now I was shaking. In fact, it isn’t an illness in any respect! But, for decades midwayfire.com brand cialis australia people have believed that alcohol addiction this could be a disease. super active cialis Men prefer taking the supplement as they are natural and if they are able to be absorbed by our cells. The simplest and most effective way of bringing a voice and face buy viagra generic to the relationship. After opening, place the cap levitra cheapest tightly closed as much as possible to prevent contact with air.

SJ asked me whats wrong, I told him I wanted to go outside to the patio,
get a drank, and I would tell him then.

So we walked past dude, AGAIN. This time I faced him and looked
dead in his face and he TOTALLY was trying to test me.

He actually nudged my HAND after I passed him. Bugged out!

Once outside I gave SJ the censored version. Said that
someone touched me inappropriately and I didn’t say anything
before because I ain’t wanna start shit.

I later learned that the function we attended was held at a location
that had OU/TEXAS folks and the g.p. Saturday night folks as well.

I just met BIG FUN the night before.
Ol’ boy struck me as a suburban dude, who was a lil rough
round the edges.

And thank god for intuition, because in the car later
that night, over hat post club meal SJ casually mentioned that
that BIG FUN keeps TWO GATS on ’em at
all times. (Texas concealed weapons laws are greasy.)
And if they ain’t on ’em, they in the trunk.

Can you imagine how drastically our lives could have changed that night?

I rides for my intuition always, and that experience was a further
confirmation of how necessary it is.

pride aside to protect the group?
