A Long Couple of Weeks...

Its good to be back...

I took off a few days to hit the road for business...

And I get back in the office...And it seems like I had every kind of paperwork awaiting me...From contracts to proposals...Not fun...

At all...

But now its time to play catch up...



Anybody that knows me can tell you that I love to keep my thread game up...But right now I'm on a mission...My mission is to find out what kind of Nikes Mr. West was wearing in his Grammy performance...I've been checking every sneaker head site every since that night, but no positive news...

I found some info from an article in NY Times’ The Moment...He said he "can’t talk about them because they’re not out yet." We all know that Nike gives celebrities and athletes shoes, but giving 'Ye his own silhouette? Thats not fair at all...



Say it ain't so Gold Man...



MARCH 7, 2008

A Key West street performer known as "Gold Man" was busted this week on a warrant charging him with selling crack cocaine to an undercover officer. Daryl Brooks, 45, was arrested Wednesday afternoon, in full costume, and booked into the Monroe County Sheriff's Office lockup on the felony drug rap. Brooks did not have the chance to remove his face paint before posing for his mug shot. Ain't that some ish! Before Key West police stuffed Brooks in a squad car, they took a photo of him in his outfit. Why they gotta do Gold Man like that! He is a legend in them KW Streets (tear to my eye)...According to an incident report, as Brooks sat in the police vehicle, he allegedly confessed (shaking head) to a cop: "It wasn't even mine, I sold it for a friend. I needed the money so I could take a day off from my day job as the Gold Man." Brooks added, needlessly, "You know when I get high, I do some stupid stuff." Brooks is being held in the Monroe County jail in lieu of $35,000 bail. (TSG)


Some body please go put 10% on Gold Man...

But before that...It ain't even mine? Gold Man...Come on...

Moving on to more foolishness...



FEBRUARY 22, 2008

A Florida doctor bartered painkiller prescriptions in return for sex from at least five female patients, according to investigators. Benjamin Malalang, 70, was nabbed yesterday in a police sting launched after one of the women approached Jacksonville cops with details of the pills-for-sex deal. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrest report, the woman said that "within the last year" she began performing "a sex act on Dr. Malalang" in return for prescriptions for Oxycontin, the powerful painkiller. She told police that the encounters occurred at the home and office of Malalang, an acupuncture specialist. Following his arrest, police said, Malalang admitted trading prescriptions for sexual favors and said that four other female patients took part in the illicit arrangement. Malalang, pictured in the mug shot at right, is facing a felony charge of trafficking in illegal drugs. He is being held in lieu of $25,000 bail at the Duval County lockup. (TSG)

24 Hours of Snow and Foolishness...

First off...My bad...

Had a busy week...And plus I had to get ready for the arrival of the O.H.A....And you know how that be...We had a good time...I'm just glad she was able to get out of here before the Lord wanted to drop ice cubes in Midwest...


But its been snowing for 24 hours in the Wauk...An inch of snow per hour...

AN INCH OF SNOW PER HOUR...

What in the hell was I smoking when I made this decision to provide MU with my services and move my bama ass to the Wauk? I mean my decedents come from a tropical region...You know? We ain't built for this...LOL


But anyway...

Since I have had a day to myself (first and only snow day)...I will spend talking about random stuff that has been on my mind since the last time I posted...

Okay...

Speaking of the lazy...


FEBRUARY 1--Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons. Bill No. 282 is the brainchild of three members of the state's House of Representatives, Republicans W. T. Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, and Democrat Bobby Shows. The bill, which is likely dead on arrival, proposes that the state's Department of Health establish weight criteria after consultation with Mississippi's Council on Obesity. It does not detail what penalties an eatery would face if its grub was served to someone with an excessive body mass index. TSG

The Gun has just been on point this week...


FEBRUARY 5--When cops pulled Tina Williams over for erratic driving Sunday afternoon, they discovered that the 46-year-old Florida woman had her seat belt priorities scrambled. The glassy-eyed Williams, who reeked of alcohol and subsequently failed a series of field sobriety tests, was traveling with two passengers in the back seat of her 1982 Ford station wagon: a 20-year-old woman and a 16-month-old infant, who was neither in a car seat nor somehow belted in. However, Williams did make sure to secure the vehicle's other precious cargo. As noted in the below St. John's County Sheriff's Office report, deputies discovered that a 24-pack of Busch beer was placed in the front passenger seat and "was seat belted in." Williams, who was charged with drunk driving and child endangerment, said, "I don't know," when deputies asked why the child was not safely restrained. She claimed to have "had a few" when asked if she had been drinking. And when asked for her license, Williams replied, "I never had one." -TSG

A Week Of People Being Out of Pocket...And Just Flat Out In The Wrong...

Where to start?

Okay...Marlo...



Marlo meets with Vondas, who doesn't want dirty money — meaning bills that are literally unclean — from the street. He prefers the clean way Prop Joe delivers his money and sends Marlo away.

Marlo Stanfield...You in the big leagues now...I'm very disappointed...

Keeping it real Wire around here...

Michael...



You going to leave your post all day to go hang out at Six Flags with Dukie and Bug...? Without telling Chris...I mean...Are you getting high on your own supply...You know Chris is crazy! He kills anything walking...Looking at him...



This man will open you up just to have a story to tell...

Keeping it youthful, because they are our future leaders...Which is scary by the way...

Soulja...



Stop Playing...

“I think if y’all did it right now, yeah, I deserve to be on there. But back there, when y’all did it, I probably didn’t have the status that I have right now. I’m Grammy-nominated. If I look at the new list and I compare myself to all 10 of the artists and some don’t add up, I’ll be like, ‘Wow. I should be #1 if it’s right now. I’m #1.”

Soulja Boy was more candid when asked how he ranks specifically against alumni of the first Hottest MCs list, like Weezy, ‘Ye and Jay-Z.

“Right now, yes [I’m hotter than them]. Today, January — whatever the date this is — 2008, yes [I am the hottest].”



This when you know the game is on a decline when "Ringtone Rappers" think they have rank as a MC...LOL

Okay...Next...

Billie Pelley (left)...



JANUARY 23--A 20-year-old female corrections officer is facing sex assault charges for allegedly performing oral sex on a male inmate on New Year's Eve in an Oklahoma jail. Billie Pelley told investigators that she entered inmate Bobby Mann's cell and began kissing the 37-year-old inmate "for a while." She then advanced to servicing Mann, but "stopped after thinking about what she was doing," according to a probable cause affidavit filed earlier this month in Okfuskee County District Court. By then, however, Pelley's encounter with Mann had already been recorded by a surveillance camera. When a dispatcher, Andrea Million, subsequently entered Cell 10, she found Pelley sitting on the side of Mann's bed. During an interview with a sheriff's investigator, Pelley admitted the sexual contact with the prisoner, who is awaiting trial on a bomb threat count. Pelley was charged last week with forcible sodomy, a felony, since Mann was not legally "capable of giving legal consent" because he is in custody. Prosecutors concede, however, that Mann, not surprisingly, consented to the oral sex. While Pelley quickly bonded out of jail after her arraignment, Mann remains in the Oklahoma lockup. -TSG

Stopped after thinking about what she was doing...?

Stopped after thinking about what she was doing...?

All American Football League...



(head down)


All American Football League to hold first draft Saturday

The All American Football League will hold its inaugural draft Saturday in Atlanta. The process will supplement rosters built on a core group of former college stars assigned to the league's six teams based on geography.

The AAFL will begin play this spring as a minor league with a twist: teams are based in college football hotbeds and hope to draw support from those fans during a down time for the game. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas will field teams filled with players who attended schools in those states or neighboring states.

Players must have earned their college degrees, exhausted their eligibility and been evaluated by league coaches after attending an AAFL combine to be eligible. The list of committed players is heavy on quarterbacks, including Chris Leak, who led Florida to the 2007 national championship, and Tee Martin, who guided Tennessee to the 1998 title.

The league's 10-game season opens April 12 with some Friday night games but most on Saturday. Teams will bring 60 players to training camp and will have game-day rosters of 46. Player salaries will range between $50,000 and $100,000.-USAToday


WHY?!?

All I have to say is I hope you can cash that check Tee...Ef a check...Just ask for straight cash...

Speaking of that bread...
