| | I know I should be sleep, I have a busy day ahead tomorrow, but this weekend I have been moved...how do you deal with life when you get the most deadly curve ball possible? This is not about me, but I just couldn't imagine, or really have taken the time out to think, if I had to deal with cancer or something to that degree, or even worse recurring or terminal illness, what outlook I would have. All I can do is thank God I am blessed to be healthy, but at the same time it is really sad, especially when it hits close to home. My grandma's family decided to throw a "Celebration of Life" party this whole weekend on my Aunt's block. I only got to go Saturday evening because of work, but those few hours were definitely worth it. I swear it might as well been a family reunion, probably was in disguise, as I saw so many of my older cousins I hadn't seen in a long time. Even my Aunt Jackie came, if she comes it must be something big, cause she lives in Texas. I was like daaaaaaammmmnnnnn...where all these kids come from! Then I heard music coming from my other aunt's driveway, and you know that was it for me. The DJ was killin it, jammin all these old skool hits, I had no choice but to boogie woogie. Honestly I try not to show off, but when good music calls, I'm sorry I have to answer and we had a beautiful conversation that night. I finally proved to my stepdad I can actually step, he used to tease me about it, but that night he just watched in amazement. I guess I am new skool with old skool flavor, that's just the "old man ed" in me. Now my older cousins think I'm "all grown up," they "slept" on me for the longest time, but that's cool at the same time I understand while they were chillin on the playground I was chillin in the playpen or something, but I was there lol.
So I missed basically most of "Taking It To The Streets," when I rode by on the bus, there were a bunch of peeps out there, so tempted to hop off and check it out but I had to go to work. I went to check it out after work, but it was already over, I really wanted to see Lupe Fiasco, Brother Ali, Fabel and all of them, I know the event was probably dope as hell. Oh well, so I'm walking through the event while it's being torn down and I run into this dude with a Zulu Nation puttin some knowledge on these young kats and I just listened, man he was on point, talkin bout the real gansta's then and dude's now who wanna be's, wanksta's, callin rapper's out on all this trash talking, especially T.I., conspiracies, etc. Basically this dude moved me, and so now I feel so much energy, and I can't say too much, all I can is do. You'll will see what's up.
