In the world, things are truly fucking crazy. People STILL getting blown up in Iraq, there's a black man running for the president of the united states (left uncapitalized on purpose), price of gas is the number one thing people talk about (which should be, why niggas are still getting blown up in Iraq?). Its just crazy. A part of me wants to say I projected things to become like this, but if i did...i'd just be one of the billion people who already made the forecast.
So is the flooding and devastation in the midwest equal to the flooding and devastation in New Orleans? Think on that.
Speaking of New Orleans, I went to that great city a coupla weeks ago and I must say, it's definitely a place that everyone needs to visit at least ONCE in their lifetime. We only stayed for 2 days, but in those days we had a lot of fun. We went on a swamp tour, which was like Eve's Bayou like a muh, and it was gravy. You know its fucked up when the first question you ask the "skipper" of the boat going thru the swamp is, "ay...any muhfuckin snakes out this joint???" Like, i KNOW there are snakes, but i guess i just had to ask because of my dislikes for jake-no-shoulders. Fortunately we didn't see ONE snake...we did however, see a rack of gators. At one point of the tour, i got to feed an alligator (lets not get it twisted, i put a piece of chicken on a long stick and fed it to him...it's not like my big ass went jumping in or no shit). That whole experience was cool, cause I got to see how strong an alligator really is. This one in particular decided that it wanted to eat the stick as well, and me being the great guy i am, was trying to save the stick but once i felt the sheer strength this dude had and was gonna bring my big ass in with it, no more stick. He just turned his head and almost dragged me in, needless to say, his strength shatted on mine. The next day we met up with Marcia's mother and we went on the "city" tour. This was also great and maad informative, until we got to the 9th Ward.
You know how in all them Weezy videos, or baby or cash money niggas they are in the hood and it's like, bleek as shit. Well, it's now just ultimate fucked up. Seeing all the damage and the lack of caring for these poor people who were fucked out of their houses and property was gut wrenching. The entire time in my head i was saying, "if these were white people, would it be like this?" But on the flip side...i was mad at the niggas who were there just sitting around doing nothing. Like, literally sitting next to a pile of trash and chillin like he's watching it so no one will steal it. Im like, c'mon dude...get a bag or somethin and clean that shit up. I understand that when you have nothing or when everything you know was taken from you in one fell swoop it's hard to get motivated to do the right thing, but damn...3 years later and niggas STILL sitting next to piles of debris and trash...ridiculous. No wonder other countries are starting to look down on us, we can't even help ourselves. But on a lighter note, i did some drinking and ate some good food...so that in itself was worth the trip. Oh, another thing...it's a different kinda hot down that jont. If you think DC is hot and humid and all that shit, you haven't experienced 90 degrees at 8AM...yes, it's that serious.
Our next mission, Costa Rica. We are going for a week in August and it will be my first "real" vacation since like, 2000 or something. I can't wait. I'm gettin so antsy thinking about it.
I've been tryin to watch a movie everyday...that's somewhat like a goal of mine. It's tough, cause i've learned that i have to truly be in the mood to do so, but it's getting easier. Most recent on the list (for new movies) are No Country for Old Men and Sweeny Todd. All i'll say is this, nigga in Old Country was supremely fuckin crazy and Johnny Depp in Sweeny Todd was just OC. Watch em if you haven't, and even if you don't like them, you can alway say you tried.
In closing, Barack Obama has a lovely chance of winning this thing. I really and truly hope he wins, not only for Black peoples' sake, but for America's sake as well. It's about time white people can look at a black man and not clutch their purse/wallet...it's been too long.

Yeah I blow my fuckin weed if you're out of skunk
