And My Weekend Went A Lil' Somethin' Like This..., Shake It!, BGC, and D&A...

"It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges..."

All I can say is wow! Today is a National Holiday that recognizes the man who fought for MY equality. Where would we be if this amazing man had not blazed a trail for us? It wasn't even that long ago when things were segregated. My mother tells me stories of her taking the bus as a kid with my grandma, and asking why they couldn't sit in the front. What if Martin Luther King had said that he was too tired, or had no time to put in all the work he did? 2010 is all about conjuring your inner MLK, who knows what could happen? You never know until you get off your ass and try.

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to live through the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's. Everyone was so united, fighting for a common goal. Now it seems that everyone is so complacent, we have no real purpose in life. Let me tell you something though, it would have been on if a motherfucker would have sprayed me down with a water hose, or let some dogs loose on me. Tryna racism me, I don't think so! Wettin' up my good clothes and shit, awww hell no! No bullshit though, I would have kinda gotten life from the "Whites Only" signs though (kidding...kinda).

I'm hoping that everyone enjoys their holiday off, and make sure you slap a white person today (even if you are white). It's just only right. It's the only way to get back at their ancestors...lol. Sorry for only blogging once last week, I was busy! I received tons of hate mail for not updating. Hate mail is so over, especially the kind where you cut and paste the different sized letters onto another sheet of paper all the while wearing gloves! We should start to send more hate letters, it's more personal than calling...

My weekend kicked off on last Monday when I met my peeps out ,we finished the night off at Steve's Bar Room for the weekly Hipster Overkill party. Big ups to my girl Eve and D.J. Dimitris, thanks for the shots! The music was killer, and the vibe was amazing.

Fun times...

On Wednesday "The Crew" met at Ceiba for their late Happy Hour (we were celebrating a special "Mike Day" celebration). It's the best place on earth (next to Chik-fil-A), everything was half off. The mojitos were tasty, and got me right where I needed to be--tipsy!

After Ceiba we headed over to 18th St. Were were gonna do ESL (Eighteen Street Lounge), but decided against it--The Spot (right next door) it was!

(don't ask me why this picture came out so small)

The party wasn't normally our style, but we had a blast anyway. Put me in a room with a bar, and some music and I'm good!

After that last shot of Jameson, I was DOA (dead on arrival, not death of autotune--thanks...). Thank goodness I was off the next day to recoup. Not long though before I was out again....

Thursday was the "Art Salon" event at the Hamiltonian Art Gallery on U st. Jamar and I went to meet my peeps Mer and Drew there.

There they are talking to th enice lady sitting on the desk. Get into Mer's bag! New Gucci Cruise bitches!

Here is some of the photography displayed in the gallery. I really liked this series...

After the gallery party, J and I went to grab a bite to eat at Policy.

Hi J! Little did we know, there was a frat party at the bar. Well, it wasn't technically but there were acting as such. Being loud and chanting some crazy shit, there wasn't even a football game on. Besides, it was like 9:30 and they were already sloshed! If I weren't trying to enjoy a quiet bite, they would have been fun to hang out with. After and hour of them yelling, it was quite annoying.

After dinner I met up with everyone at Napolean (shout out to Omar Popal), we headed downstairs to the champagne bar. It was a good crowd and a nice way to start the night out. After Napolean, we headed to Steve's where we damn near shut it down. We witnessed debauchery at it's best there. There was a girl who I could have sworn was pregnant dancing and drinking like she was a contestant on America's Best Dance Crew. Then there was a girl who was trying to battle Precious for dark skinned and overweight backing all that ass up on a nice little white boy. He didn't know what to do with all of that, he was just standing there looking lost. THEN apparently after I left, there was some freak girl on girl, guy on guy type shit going down. All of this was happening from the same group of people--I like them (blank stare).

The next day, I was dead at work. The time never let it's foot off the brakes all day. It was a mess. After work I went home and went straight to bed. I was tired, besides my liver needed to rest.

On Saturday night, I met up with Horace and Dionne at Vinoteca. Upon arrival, I could tell they were shit faced. The looks on their faces gave it away, well that and also both of them said, "Dude, we're so wasted..." After finishing a bottle of wine there, it was super late. We headed to Recess. The party was aiiighhht. We stayed there for a little bit and after headed to Cheers, I mean Steve's.

Garai (one of DC's best photographers) was there looking fly.

We literally shut it down..."Where'd everyone go?"

Picture of the broken vending machine at Steve's...

That's why I like the vibe there, it's so chill and laid back. No one is trying to be something they're not. No bullshit though, when I took this pic it was around 4 in the morning. I was hungry as hell, and was about to break the glass to get those chips on the top row of the machine.

After a long night I turned in at around 5 am, and hopped up at 8:30 to get ready for work. I was the first one there--play hard, work hard! Last night was a "man down situation", so no partying for me. Today I have to go home to visit the folks. We have to take a family portrait (I swear to God if you laugh...). I just found out that our shoot isn't until 8 p.m., we had to try to accommodate 8 different schedules which is always a hard thing to do. Pray that my parents got a good photographer that's not gonna be on some Glamour Shot type shit! I swear to you that i'll leave. Not gonna have me holding a rose looking over my back...I don't think so!

Happy MLK day you coons and crackers! (Sorry...)

Shake It

Have you guys seen this Shake it weight? I was in CVS yesterday and spotted it. I had never seen it in person, but the commercial just looks like a conjure. I'm glad they're trying to market it as a piece of gym equipment, but that ain't nothin' but a hand job practicing machine. Besides the commercial looking like soft porn, who the hell is gonna lose weight by shaking that barbell thing. Maybe that's how I've stayed thin all these years (blank stare)? Who knew you could burn calories by giving a handjob? Hey guys, that could be your new approach, "Hey girl, you know you can lose like 10 pounds if you gave me a handjob...?" Women would be pressed to shed some extra pounds, so guys all over the world would be gettin their gherkin's jerked! Ladies save your $19.99 plus shipping and handling, just grab the nearest guy you see and ask if you can borrow his penis for 3o minutes a day 3x a week. I'm sure he won't mind.

Bad Girls

Ok, so I'm embarrassed to say but my new reality television addiction is 'The Bad Girl's Club'. I always watched random episodes, but it was never must see t.v. for me--now it is. Even though all of the girls look like their pussy's smell, I get so much life! Flo (pictured above) is from New York, she claims to be bisexual. I think the real tea is that no men want her ass in L.A., so she turns to snacking on carpet.

Note to Flo: If you want guys to like you, perhaps you should act a little more feminine? Not too many guys want their women grabbing their crotch and smoking like a trucker? I'm not a dating expert, but I'm just sayin'.

Natatlie (pictured below) is the self-titled bitch of the house. She boast that she has pull in L.A., and she does, but I'm still not understanding why? She looks like she rummages through the trash outside of 'Forever 21', and her weave is shot to shit! I'm sure she gives great Becky though...

If you have nothing better to do with your life on Tuesdays at 10, check the girls on Oxygen.

Oh hey, by the way, please don't tell anyone that I watch this...

D&A

What a happy day it must be for lonely women and creepy men all over the country? Male prostitution was legalized last week in Nevada. The owners of Shady Lady (don't laugh) escort service was given the go ahead to start selling dick and ass out of their brothel. Since last week, they have hired a male named "Markus". He apparently has not received any business yet, but they expect huge numbers (side eye). "Markus" is only accepting female clients at the moment, but a spokesperson for the ranch says that they are open to having "Markus" service male clients.

I couldn't

see

EVER having to pay for some dick. All of the free dick roaming the

streets out her, and you have to go swipe a card? Hell naw! It's not that serious. And I'm sure "Markus" ain't even all that! Get Trey Songz, Nelly, Pharell, Ocho Cinco, or Dwight Howard out that bitch, and I may consider? When I say consider, it means like 5-1o dollars! Payin' for dick--How dreadful!

If you or someone you may know might be interested, call Shady Lady directly to set up an appointement...
