Ya know... as I sit here and watch "Enter tha Dragon" sippin' on my Tahitian Treat Fruit punch,a thought occurred to me. Fourth of july ain't what it used to be.
Remember the very thought of blowin' some ish up,was all you needed to get up that day. Tha bbq, tha family coming over, tha liquor flowin' to tha point,you knew some harmless (Although embarassin' ) ish was goin' to happen. (Like tha time my uncle thought he could be Dr.J. And he ended up needin a doctor.)All in all,It was a good time had by all. And tha fireworks....mannn tha fireworks....sheeeeet.
Now, with tha money troubles, weird azz weather, and of course...we just don't know how to act any friggin more, we don't enjoy like we used to.
Well this holiday change that ish!!!! Go out get some food, get some drink, get some (Fill in tha blank)!!!! but make sure you make some contact with friends and family.Also use some damn REAL fireworks!!! Not jus' lil Dayron's sparklers, some M80's, Cherry bombs, hell, Go yer hands on tha ish they use in third world countries. ( Adult supervision required )
So whatever you do, Make this fourth a great one and let me know how it goes.

Freestyle..(Random thought)
What's good guys? It's been a roller coaster of emotions these last couple of days. In tha days past, tha world has lost people that were endearing to them. Farrah Fawcett,Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. All left us too soon. All three left lasting impressions upon this planet. And all three made us do something that we rarely do, even though we are confronted wit this everyday. These people made us think about our own mortality.
I know for me, when hearing of Farrah Fawcett's death I felt an immediate saddness. The most I knew of her situation, was what the media portrayed and her T.V. special I saw a couple of weeks ago. And the moment I found out, My first thought was for what her family was feelin'. Then as I was playin' that thought out in my head, tha next bombshell went off. Michael Jackson was rushed to tha hospital. My heart sank because, even at tha beginnin' of tha coverage, it did'nt sound well.
In the end, tha world had lost a beloved entertainer. People around tha world started gasping for air at tha loss of these two very iconic and influential people. Then, a day later, tha world felt tha loss of Billy Mays. T.V. pitchman who had tha ability to sell you anything, and personality in abundance.
Much of tha coverage has focused on Michael Jackson. Tha tributes, tha B.E.T. awards, MTV and the like. As much as tha media has covered these tragedies this weekend, it has made some of us start to think of, when its our time. We have all, at one point had that thought of how we would die but, most important for some, will we be missed.
As tha weekend progressed tha range of emotions I've experienced have ranged from sadness, feelin' lost , to thinkin about when my demise may arrive. Don't get me wrong, I did'nt ponder this ish, but it was a question. How many can be as loved in tha numbers as these people were? As much as people ridiculed Michael Jackson, There were those same people with heartfelt sadness.
I guess after all the emotions have played out tha only thing that is left is to pick up and move on and live life. The questions will always be there, but let's work through them. Also.....ya ready......wait for it......CELEBRATE EACH DAY YOU'RE HERE!!! (did tha back row here dat?) don't let what's gonna happen cloud what could happen. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING OR ANYONE FOR GRANTED!!! from this moment on, say "I love you" to as many people as you can. Let's not wait til someone leaves this earth to show then ya love them.
And keep also in mind, EVERYONE we lose is special!!! not just those in tha public eye. When your time comes ( And it will ) Know that you are loved, and you have loved.

Track 18. (Open letter to...)
What's good my friends! (I know...why so chipper huh? ) Well.... I guess this is the part of my so called therapy that I make a breakthrough. trust me when I tell you, this is a breakthrough for your azz here. As I have gone on my journey of life ( Sooo friggin Hemmingway huh? ) I have lost touch with those that i've met along the way.
I never was good at keeping up with tha people, that have influenced me throughout my life. The people I knew from high school, as well as tha people i've encountered up until now, have been somehow lost along tha way. But that has changed this week. I talked to one old classmate of mine (via Facebook. I'm startin' to embrace this new fangled technology.) we chatted about the old times of course, as well as catchin' up on everybody else. I realized something as I chatted wit her.
I've been stooopid ( Don't spellcheck me mofos I know. I be educated. ) All this time the very thing I miss, has ALWAYS been here. NOTHIN' BEATS THA LOVE OF GREAT PEOPLE!!! The people I know from high school, all tha way to my ole neighborhood are tha people that love me, regardless of tha things I do.
I need to let everyone know that in order to become great, something greater influences you. ( Deep ish huh?.... Too much Cherry Juicy Juice. ) To me that something greater are my friends and family. Almost overnight, my Facebook page has blown up ( no sex doll ) The very people that have propelled me to have tha courage to put my life out here for all to see, are suddenly back in my life.
I make this promise to them as I type this open letter. I will keep in touch. I will be there when you call. I will listen to anything and everything you have to say. I want my friends back. People like this only come around once in a lifetime. For me I feel like I got a second chance.
Also to my teachers and mentors that are readin' this now. Thank you soooo much. You gave me tha tools to put a voice to my art (Man... I gotta lay off tha Juicy Juice )
For those just tuning in..... Go forth and find those played a positive influence in your life.... who knows it may lead to your second chance.
Now... let's ALL keep in touch! Follow a brother on Twitter (MAYHEMM09) also Facebook me ( No nastiness ) matt.lloyd3 I hate to sound like those e-mails you get but..... Pass this along ( tee hee ) I LOVE YOU ALL ONE LOVE.

Track 17. (Public service announcement )
Testing 1,2,...testing 1,2,...what's good people? I wanted to drop a line to say..ONE LOVE (Always) and to let you guys know tha summer is in effect.(D'oh ) No matter where ya live, what color you are, or your sensability, you still could be a contributing factor in tha alert level escalating.
No i'm not talkin' about tha terrorist alerts (sheeet, that's tha easy one ) tha alerts i'm referring to are the Coonery,Beanery,Douchebaggery alerts. (C.B.D.) Understand, everyone's included. (except Asians/Chinese, ya NEVER see them on "Cops" ) NO RACIST DAMMIT. As it gets hotter tha days become more uncomfortable. let's keep in mind that we all don't do well in heat. Despite us negro folk coming from some hot regions and my hispanic bretheren, coming from some cookin' some Chorizo on a rock regions we don't do well (white folks you're a toss up. upper/middle class do well,poor white trash, not so much. )
No matter where ya from, if tha day reaches 90 or above, sometimes tha wrong decisions are made.We sometimes let our emotions guide us down a f#$@ed up path. We as people have to learn restraint this summer. In a time where the respect for life is at a low, we gotta stop contributing to the statistics.
I guess my point basically is.....PUT THA FRIGGIN GUNS DOWN!!! (I know I gotta stop shoutin' but s#$@! ) I don't give a s#$% about fist fights, you can walk away from those. But you can't walk away from bein' shot or stabbed. Its gotten to tha point where kids can't play on a friggin block no more.
To those stumbling across this rant and think this is not about them...fine. To those who actually had tha nerve to say f@#& you to this....guess what... this song is about you.
Let's keep tha alerts down to fashion and debauchery, not destruction.
For a play by play of tha alert levels Follow me on Twitter (MAYHEMM09) It's free. also hit me up to give me your status. No matter what happens....ONE LOVE.

Track 16. (Random Mind Wander)
YoooHooo it's friday! Man it has been that kind of week. Just a series of random ish that's been interestin' and would make ya say....WHAT THA?!? From tha personal, to tha current events its been a friggin trip.
Let's start wit' tha Swine/H1N1 flu. Question: They can come up wit several types of penis pills, pills for depression and even a vaccine for just about anything. But they figure out how to treat this "Super Cootie"?!? what tha... THEN North Korea decides they want to launch ish towards Hawaii. Hawaii is like that cool ass cousin that does'nt eff wit nobody. How do you eff wit' those who aint effin' wit you?(Don't have them TIE that lai around ya neck) Oh yeah, I suppose PETA is reeally hard up for spokespeople (since Pamela Anderson went all...uh...what's tha techincal term....ah poor white trash ish) So they let Andy Dick step up and take tha reigns. Hey Michael Vick is'nt doin' ish right now (just sayin' you would've had a bigger draw than tha guy from....uh....uh.....er...er...oh yeah Newsradio)
Let's not forget tha IPhone......Movin' tha F**K along. As for tha personal end, It astounds me to see people judge others,on everything from looks to lifestyle. Here's a secret ladies (Fellas don't you friggin leave, you're next) Ladies, here's tha truth....There's no such thing as a ugly woman physically.(Shut up guys let me explain) Now tha only thing that could make a woman ugly to me is her attitude. If her attitude is stank, then it relfects upon the physical. If her attitude is positive then she's radiant.
Now for tha fellas. (ladies stick around,it funny) Now fellas here's your thought for tha day: you can achieve sooo much more wit' the opposite sex if you do one thing.......you guys ready.....wait for it....wait for it...JUST DON'T TALK SO DAMN MUCH!!! A woman has ALREADY decided within 5, count em' 5 minutes of meetin' ya ass if you get any more of her time. The more you contribute to tha coversation and not dictate, the more you got a shot.
As for tha Lifestyle aspect, two words: DO YOU. you're tha one who has to live wit' you. You're tha planet, we're just in ya orbit.
That felt great!!! I know, I know a little lengthy but rants have no structure, ryhme or reason. Drop me a line we'll be even. ONE LOVE.
Please Follow this rant on tha Twitter (mayhemm09) or Facebook me (no nastiness) I need tha company.

For tha stressed out. (Interlude)
I was catchin' up on tha latest in tha news (o.k. tha Television section but I skimmed tha rest ) and I found a really disturbin' trend. It seems that for most of us going through tryin' times, we get tha notion not to stick around, to see how those times work out. Suicide seems to be tha choice that most are choosing.
Now i'm not gonna rattle off statistics and graphs, and all that other ish that would show that I have a modicum of intelligence. Eff that. ( I only have 30 minutes for lunch ) I'm not goin' to get into all tha religious aspects of it either. What I will touch upon is somethin' a lot of people need to believe, once they start havin these thoughts: S**T GETS BETTER!!! And...uh..NOTHIN' IS THAT FRIGGIN BAD!!!
Now i'm not gonna sit here and act like I know every facet of your life. But take it from a guy wit' a dead end azz job, TWO count em' two sick parents, and a host of insecurities and everyday ish. I should've overdosed on Flintstones chewables ( That's right I probably could'nt get suicide right either ) long ago.
Look this ain't no PSA. I'm just tellin you that WHATEVER you're goin through, just talk to somebody. ( Hell, e-mail or Twitter me ) People don't have to solve what's goin' on wit' you, but they can listen. Sometimes just talkin' to someone, tha answer to what you're goin' through is clearer. You gotta keep yourself in tune to yourself. You are the only one that can make YOU better. Besides if you need help (REAL therapy. Not my blue collar ish. ) that's not a bad thing. Just stick around will ya? some of us care.
As for those who thrive on seeing others fall...EFF EM'. sticking around is tha best revenge.
As I said, if need someone to listen or even laugh wit ( no singles ad! ) Twitter me @ mayhemm09 or Facebook (look right) I'm not a certified therapist but, listenin' and typin' don't cost shit.
