Back To Reality!!! 2007-04-26 03:01:00 Hi guys! It seems like it has been so long since I have written a regular post! I thank everyone who stuck it out and read the series until the end; I enjoyed doing it, but it was very challenging,given that was one of my first attemps at writing anything of its sort. And it was, of course, the 100% verbatim truth. Here's what's been up since I got back from my trip:-Ben returned. But this time, he had the good common courtesy to die. For those of y'all who have been reading since day one, you may remember the horrifying emergence of Ben. Well, I had not seen him since the first time in October and I was NOT interested in his wherebouts. Monday, as I got ready for work, I saw something that looked like two little mice legs and a tail under a mirror in the bathroom sink cabinet. I dismissed the idea, until later that evening. In better lighting, I could see it was EXACTLY what I thought it was. AGHHHHH!!! There's a very nice 17 year old gentleman who lives upstairs; he's always out
Yes, This Is This The End Of The Story!!! 2007-04-24 05:05:00 For those of you who made it all the way through, thank you for your patience!!!Spike led me to a winding staircase in the corner of his office. As we made our way down, I once again heard a funky bass line. Was Spike Lee about to sing a song to me? Just as I got excited.....SL: Sister Toldja, let me introduce to you....Prince!Oh. My. God. Sure enough, here comes his royal purpleness. He was decked out in an electric yellow lame' jumpsuit, with the cutest little purple pumps to match. And for 47 minutes and 33 seconds, all of my concerns and issues seemed to disappear. Prince Rogers Nelson played some of my favorite jams: "Adore", "The Beautiful Ones", "Purple Rain" and "Call My Name". As he wrapped up the last one, I was so full of Black love and pride and joy, I ALMOST forgot why I had came. ST: Wait a minute. What did that have to do with anything?Prince looked at me real hard and in that disarmingly deep voice he panned "If this is Blackness, who would want to be anywhere but?"ST:
And You MUST Understand That 2007-05-01 04:36:00 Hello blog friends! I had a great weekend! I saw some friends I hadn't seen in ages and I got to have a break from the all the things stressing me out. I hope you guys had a nice one too. I can't believe it's MAY! Where the hell did April go? Shoot, where did 2006? Time is flying. I wish I could speed it up and get me gone, but at the same time I have a lot to do as I plan my journey out of "The Urrrea", so maybe I should try to slow it down. Anyway, forgive me if I continue the inconsistent posting these next few weeks. I got a lot on my plate and a lot more on my brain. And I have to get my affairs in order in order if I really want to chunk up the duece to the place I called home for the past five years. -Big shout out to "Future Dr. Phil". If you read this, just know that YOU inspire me! YOU are the revolutionary and the revolution! XOXO to you, my future baby....doctor. Now go find me a husband in medical school! -I was all hype to tell y'all about how much I dig the new Sa-Ra Read more:Understand
Stressed Out, Stressed Out 2007-05-03 05:48:00 It was one of those days. I so wanted to blow my top at the gig, but I can't do that. Gotta not get fired and all. Dammit!When I finally got home, I saw that one of the cats who lives outside (you know those are my homies) has FIVE beautiful baby kitties! I so want to take one! I gotta get some more cat food tommorrow! I think there's about eight cats living out there total now! I got a village to feed! This "earth mother" stuff has to be expressed somehow, and the cats are gonna have to do for now. You know Toldja loves the kids. Speaking of the children, here is one of my faves- the internet sensation Nia! She's 5 now and these videos have been coming since she was two. It's been pretty cool watching her grow up and I know she's gonna be FIERCE one day! As I always say, I really don't want girl children of my own. Perhaps one at the most. But if I have one, I do hope that she's as darling as this one. I've already got big plans for little Thelonious and Miles and Nina Akua.
Yo. 2007-05-07 02:44:00 What it do, blog readers? Hope alls well with you. I am kinda up, kinda down these days. A lot of stuff on my mind. "A lot's going on, and ain't a damn thing happening", as it were. But I'm keeping it moving.-Today, I learned of the passing of the lady who started my locs. We weren't close, but I was very fond of her. Very special, very vibrant person. It's kinda shocking. I will say more about her when I feel I can adequately do so. -In much, much happier news, Akon is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E! He was dropped by Verizon AND they have pulled sponsorship from Gwen Stefani's tour, for which he opens. That makes my heart smile a bit. See, Akon did some dirty dancing with a girl on stage in Trinidad, and she turned out to be 14! I saw the tape and some pics of her...she didn't look 14 and why the HELL was she in the club? I don't think it's another R.Kelly situation, but dammit, anything that reduces the exposure that man gets, the better. He's really out to destroy us all with his terr
Get It Shawty! 2007-05-09 03:09:00 - Some of y'all might not know this, but I've been trying to get this particular young stallion in my stable for a while. Looks like it worked- check out my boo Chris Brown celebrating his 18th birthday this weekend:(Yeah, that's facial hair. I know you see it.)Yeah, baby. I think we know who influenced that choice of shirt. I couldn't make it to the festivities, but I'm gonna make it up for him next weekend at the prom. It's gonna be lovely. I'm talking classy shit: a pre-fixe dinner at the Red Lobster, with the Sutter Home White Cabernet Sauvignon flowing all night (zinafandel is for losers, step ya game up). Might hit up a room at the Sybaris, but we gotta see where the night takes us. He's young, ya dig? And please believe, your girl is gonna steer him in the right direction. The Pop stuff was cool, but I'm gonna help him make his work a little more sophisticated. I have a feeling we will be writing psalm after psalm after psalm together and he will have an ILLUSTRIOUS ca Read more:Shawty
And I Said "No, No, No...." 2007-05-16 21:45:00 Howdy folks! Thanks for all the well wishes for my graduation! As happy as I am about it, it makes me even more frustrated about my current job. At work on Monday, I kept looking at my Howard Alumni lapel pin and thinking "Something has went awry!" But it will be over soon. I'll keep you posted. Luckily, I am home today with the happiest case of strep throat I have ever had. Seriously, I went to urgent care yesterday like "Uh, can I stay here overnight? No? Well, I don't have to go to work tommorrow, do I?" Between sleeping, changing the thermostat from "Heat" to "Cool" to "Off" and drinking ginger ale, I finally have some good quality time to cuddle up with my laptop and catch up more with you good people. After spending an hour catching up on the gossip blogs, I think I know just what you need:The Black Folks Guide To Appreciating Amy WinehouseSometimes, we have a tendency to get a bit too excited about "De Good White Fok's". We get so worked up when we see a hint of Soul(or anyth
When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong 2007-05-14 16:11:00 Howdy! I know it's been a long time since we've talked, but I have a good reason. I OFFICIALLY graduated from Howard University on Saturday. I have real life actual diploma and I couldn't be more happy. So, you know I had to kick it strong this past weekend.Now, you've heard plenty of stories about me cutting up in the club. This time, I was on my best behavior. However, one of my good friends decided to cross the line this weekend. There have been conflicting reports about how Sister Rate ended up detained by club security. Let's explore them. Here is her version, in her own words:So what had happened was... I was about to go to the second floor of the club, to see my other group of friends, and to look 4 my enchanted love, but instead of taking the less crowded way, I decided to walk through the most crowded part of the club. Now usually I try to say "Excuse me", but I was way too hype/drunk to think about such pleasantries. So I walk past this guy and gal dancing, and I feel so Read more:Keepin

Words To Live By (Inspiration) 2007-05-18 04:15:00 In these trying times, people are seeking shelter and solace wherever they can find it. And as a celebrity (ahem), I realize that many people look to me to help light the way. Fortunately for you, I have taken the time to assemble some of my favorite mantras, quotes and phrases to help you navigate this thing called....life. "Punks jump up to get beat down."This little pearl comes from a Brand Nubian song of the same title. I tried to explain the meaning to my mother. It ended up like one of those old "who's on first" jokes, except worse.Sister Toldja: Basically, it just means that punks- fools, jerks, losers, what have you- jump up only to have their plans thwarted by the more clever and agile folk, such as myself. You get it?Mother Toldja: Um, no. Sister Toldja: Ok. Basically, punks be jumping up and then I beat them down. But not literally. In a metaphorical sense. Got it?Mother Toldja: Why are you saying these things?Sister Toldja: I'm trying to help you out. Now, a punk is a foo Read more:Words

ENTRAPMENT!!!! 2007-05-22 11:27:00 (Note- I did do an entry last night, so scrolly on down if you missed it! :))THE BITCH SET ME UP!!!!!!I AINT SPEAKING TO NOBODY BUT MY LAWYER!!!!I PLEAD THE FIF! F-I-F, FIF!!!!!!All these feelings, and more, passed through my soul last night. As all y'all DC folks know, they got these ignant ass speed cameras all about the city. Studies have shown that the cameras do NOT reduce the speed of drivers, except for when they are approaching a speed trap, and that the city is making millions of dollars in revenue from them. Bastids. But those things are marked quite clearly, so you really shouldn't be getting caught up with them, especially two years in to the program. BUT, who knew about the new speed traps: parked police cars that snap a picture of speeding cars???? Well, I'll tell you who didn't know: me. That doesn't even sound legal. Well, maybe it is legal, since I was speeding. But it's downright mean. I am enjoying the next 23 minutes, until I have to get in the car and drive t
The Run Down 2007-05-21 17:02:00 What's crack-a-lackin? -My alterego, Holly Go Hard, is NOT dead. She's had an unfortunate dry spell due to the misery that is my job, but I'm bringing her back out for the summer. In fact, me and Sister Saludatorian got that ball rollin' last night with our new fantabulous wigs. We look liked like hood Stepford Wives, circa 1997 in our classy sundresses and long flowing tresses. Oh, what a feeling. -Speaking of Sister Salud, she has moved into a new neighborhood and it is GHETTO HEAVEN!!!!! I'm salty I won't be around longer to enjoy it with her, because the wonders never seem to cease in Southeast! And I am dead ass serious, no sarcasm. She lives in a nice part that the Whites have yet to take over; it reminds me of the South Side of the Chi. We went to "The World's Number One Beauty Supply" and the name was no lie! They got the bombest wigs for cheap (with big nets and two combs, so I can effectively tuck in my shoulder length dreads- which are a lovely shade of red, purchased
This Ain't Funny, So Don't You Dare Laugh 2007-05-23 20:42:00 I have always had a view of the po-lice that was a bit less hostile then that of my peers. See, my beloved father is Johnny Law and has made it his mission to embody the spirit of justice (as opposed to simply holding the letter of the law). He is community minded, unlike these "Stop Snitichin" clowns who have contempt for cops in general, with no condemnation for the fools who commit the majority of the crimes against citizens: other citizens*. But I understand, just as he does, how fucked up the po-lice departments in America are. I could go on forever about this, but I won't. I will say that I have experienced something many of us understood for years, first hand. I saw the lack of importance placed upon Black female safety.As I headed home from work this morning at about two AM (!!!!), I stopped at a 7-11. When I got back on the road, I noticed a car pulled over on the side of the street by a closed gas station. I thought that was odd, but even stranger that the driver seemed to b Read more:Funny
Return Of The Chi-Town Dodger 2007-05-26 11:32:00 Heeeeeeey! For those who were worried, my stalker didn't come kill me and my job hasn't (yet) forced me to jump out of an eight-story window. In my quest to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiii-iiiime whilst I'm still in DC, I spent the last few nights in the club. I'm soooo angry- I have to work tonight from 4 to God-knows-when. And I'm supposed to be taking my boo, Chris Brown, to the prom!!!! This is so unfair. Hopefully, some friendly mice will scatter about my feet and my fairy godmother will turn my cell phone into a Christler 300 and off I will go. Speaking of mice, why was there a baby one chillin' on my doorstep the other night when I came home? Just looking at me like "You ain't get no take-out? Damn! I'm sick of Triscuit crumbs! Now open up, I have some disease to spread." I kicked at him and then I just sat outside for about five minutes looking all types of stupid. What if there was a mice party inside, and this one had got put out for disord Read more:Return

Ask and Ye Shall Recieve 2007-05-29 18:43:00 I opened up the floor for questions in my last post. Thanks to those of you who got at me- you got answers from both Sister Toldja (my good side) and Holly Go Hard (my better side). ebz AKA Bougie said:I dont know if I necessary need relationship help ... I dont know if I necessary need relationship help but I have a question...Say you have it all together, you meet a guy, who has a job, and a car but dont have "everything" together, He's in school and has dreams to play in a team over seas. You dont think his dreams are realistic. Do you date him seriously or just date him to have a little fun? are there pros and cons to either or? Can I get a Holly Go Hard answer?Sister Toldja's response:Hey girl! This is a tricky one. I think women should support their mates dreams (and vice versa), but you don't want to hop aboard a sinking ship either. The pros of sticking around include the joy that comes from being a supportive lover and, of course, the love. The cons include potentially bein
Back Down Memory Lane 2007-05-28 20:23:00 I am in a serious funk today and I don't have anything to talk about......sooooo, here is some music that is better than my mood. I'm also opening up the floor for questions. I wanna play "Ask Sister Toldja and Holly Go Hard". Me, myself an eye, I have a unique perspective about things in this thing called....life. And I want to share them with you. My alter-ego, the party girl Holly Go Hard, also will add her two cents. Ask me anything, anything in the world. Not sure what to do with your life? Need relationship advice? Wonder who to vote for in the next election? I can tell you what you need to know. It may not be helpful, but it will definitely be entertaining. Remember: I'm not always right, but I'm always tight.And now, it's time to start the show:De La Soul- Stakes Is HighI know I post this every few months, but I could really listen to it over and over and over!

Race Matters 2007-06-03 22:44:00 Oh man oh man oh man. Y’all aren’t gonna believe what happened to me!I was trying to fit into a complicated parking spot, when an impatient Middle Eastern man trying to drive around me suddenly sped up. “Dude, what’s your problem? You almost hit me” I yelled. And this half-dead waste of space responds “You BASTARD!” and as I am REELING from being called a bastard, he follows with “You….you…. NIGGER!!!”Yeah. What I did after that is irrelevant….okay, if you must know I hopped out the car and said “Nigger? You just called me a NIGGER? Get your ass out the car! I will motherfucking kill you! Get out the car!” But again, that part is irrelevant. How ugly is that? Another brown-skinned person of color calling me that! In a country where half the damn citizens would think he was a terrorsist off rip, he wants to use that ugly word to describe me. Cause he didn’t feel like waiting for me to (quite legally and correct according to where we were) park. When I sent
Who Knew Usher Like 13 Year Olds? 2007-05-31 18:59:00 You ever hear a song and think "Damn, this isn't that hot. But I KNOW it's gonna be all over the radio any day now?" Yeah, I'm talking about R.Kelly and Usher
's "Same Girl". I think it's trash but it's the song of the summer, I feel it in my gut. Yuck. Usher just solidified his place on the Hate List. I started thinking he was one corny, arrogant mofo when he had that huge album in 2001. But working with Kells just completed the hate transition. You know he's engaged to an older woman? Ironic, right? The young man who likes the sophisticated ladies and the dirty old man who likes little girls= radio hit. God fuck America! I'd like to throw it out there that I think Usher's fiancee is very pretty. She's not super skinny and she's not 19 and she's not Creole, so she's been getting hated on hard. The fact that Usher's with a sister like her makes him much less hateable. 'Till he did the song with Kelly. I had a big crush on Usher for approximately one year: 1994. People see
Just A Little Something For Ya 2007-06-06 15:31:00 How the heck did I forget to share this gem?So last month, me and Sister Salud were in our fave bar chilling. A White redneckish man walks up to her and says "Excuse me ma'am. I don't mean to be rude, but I've been trying to figure out your ethnicity all night." See, Sister Salud (the chick pouting in my Myspace profile picture) is Black and Italian. She's from the Debarge tribe of high yallers, not to be confused with the Al & Chris* tribe. Then he says "Are you....Eskimo?" I fucking fell out and died. I texted that one to everyone I know. Of course, Sister Salud decides to run with it. Yes, she was an Eskimo and I, part Eskimo. When he complimented her on her soft hands, she told him she uses an old Eskimo secret formula made from baby whale blubber to moisturize them. She also discussed with him the advancements the Eskimo people had made in time-travel, before letting him know we had to leave the bar because it was too hot, unlike the comforting coolness of our igloos. Moral of
Back To My Roots 2007-06-04 13:32:00 Hello errrrbody! Hope you had a good weekend- I managed to sneak a little fun in. This job has me ready to just.....ohhhhh......but, alas the clock is ticking. Only about 25 more days left in my DC life and I couldn't be more glad. I went to grocery store last night, and who should I see? The assistant manager who wrote me that gross note about how he likes my legs and wants to make my night. EWWWW! I kept my sister on the phone and ducked and dodged all through the joint. I though he had gotten fired- his picture ain't on the wall with the other managers. Maybe he's just a cashier who likes to dress up for work. Whatever, I just want him to leave me alone! If you are reading this, Dude Who Look Like Joey Offa "Roc" But Not As Cute who works at SFW on Chillum Road, I want you to know that you are GROSS! Damn shame. SFW= Sexual harassment From Workers!!! This is why I shop at the Giant! Well, this and the fact that they have the self-checkout and....you know, the thing where I mark t
Take Out The Trash, America!!! 2007-06-09 12:31:00 I have been wishing extra hard that Paris Hilton got sent back to jail, and it looks like my hopes have been answered. Hilton is a cancer on society and while I've never felt compelled to discuss her in this blog before (the last thing she needs is more exposure), this jail debacle has really ticked me off. The obsession with Paris revals so much of what is wrong with America
. Thus, I think that Miss Hilton should die for our sins. We should sacrifice her! It would be such a great PR move for a country that noooooobody is feeling right now. Imagine, what says "America is moving forward and cleaning up" more than ridding ourselves of such a creatin (a Paris-site, if you will). By killing Hilton, we'll be saying "Hey, we know we done fucked up, right? But we're growing and changing. We're taking out the trash in America"! Now I'm not saying we should take out every wonky-eyed, promiscuous cokehead. This is America, people; we embrace diversity. But Paris is just really, really bad f Read more:Trash
No They Didn't..... 2007-06-13 11:17:00 This is the most ridiculous shit I have ever heard in my LIFE.Apparently, in 1994, the Pentagon toyed with the idea of creating a "gay bomb".As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon."The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents."The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explai
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof 2007-06-11 22:39:00 (I would like to give my sincerest thanks to everyone who offered words of condolence and encouragement. My family and I doing our best to cope with this tragedy, and I truly appreciate your support!)Just some random musings today--Chery Coke Zero is the BOMB! It really does taste good! In fact, I think it's sweet enough to mix with rum. Y'know, a lot of diet colas don't taste good with rum (and vice versa), and after having a bartender deadpan "you know, there's very little Coke in a rum and Coke" when I tried to order diet, I had been sticking to the regular stuff. I think that last sentence was a run-on. The moral of the story is that this soda is durn tasty. I may have to co-sign with Sister Webby, who once proclaimed "Coke Zero is so good, it makes me feel bad for Diet Coke." She says that being at a predominately-White university has made her well versed in the world of Coke Zero. I think Diet Coke is White people's Kool-Aid. I'm gonna make it my Kool-Aid too. Not that I'v
One Out Of Thirty-Three 2007-06-10 11:57:00 As usual, I partied this weekend and drank a lot and wore my wig and listened to "The Best Of Al B. Sure". But that really doesn't matter, 'cause I wasn't feeling it. You see, I have a baby cousin named Darryl and I used to play with him and his big sister Kathy when they were little. My grandmother practically raised them until she passed. And the following year, their father (my uncle) passed too. Then their mother's family took them away. I hadn't seen them since their dad's funeral until about three years ago, when their dad's twin sister got in touch with them and brought them to her house for Christmas. They were very sweet and smart and deserved to be raised in a better environment.I told them about Howard and that they should consider it one day. But it didn't matter, because neither of them were doing too well in school. I gave them my number and told them to call me anytime. But it didn't matter, because I was 700 miles away and the type of saving they needed, I coul Read more:Thirty

"Get Me Bodied" 1969 2007-06-15 14:17:00 I'm gonna bite La Bella Noire's steez this once and hit you with a Friday Flashback. Here is the video to Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied", shot in 1969.Confused? You see, this is "Rich Man's Frug" from the film version of Bob Fosse's Sweet Charity. I sent Sir Fabulous Himself a text message last night about how I had to give Beyonce her props, because the "Get Me Bodied" video is so cute. He had this little gem in my inbox within minutes. She even stole that cold ass ponytail swinging! Damn you Beyonce! Just when I gave your ass a compliment! It's still a cute video- it's a lot of fake hair, flamboyant men and false eyelashes, which are the recipe for a good time in my book. However, it sucks that many people will think it was an original idea. Someone could make the argument that people have ripped off our cultural product for years, so what's the big deal? Me personally, I just ride for creativity and innovation. It was a good rip-off, but a rip-off nonetheless. What say you?Sister
A Legend Of His Time 2007-06-19 22:18:00 Many artists come into the music game, but not many stick around too long. Some may cite musical Darwinism, others would say it's all about luck. Regardless, there are very few R&B cats who can say they've been in the game for FIFTEEN YEARS.So, I gotta give it up to this brotha.....Batman, you are that dude. You can say what you want, but there have been two generations of pre-pubecent girls who have screamed for this man. Batman made his singing debut with Immature on the "Bebe's Kids" soundtrack. That was a long ass time ago! In fact, I remember seeing Immature on Soul Train one morning as I was getting ready to go to Discovery Zone. Me and this dude go back. Waaaay back. Now, I didn't really care for Batman in the "I've Got The Munchies" days (oy, what an ear worm!). When the little Hispanic boy left the group and they took on a more, uh, mature (?) sound- it was on and a poppin'.

Look At All These Haters, Watching Me Everyday 2007-06-18 18:37:00 I can't stand HATERS! People who just HATE on you unneccesarily, whilst all you trying to do is quietly shine. I know some of yall thinking "Well, you sure seem to do a lot of hating yourself." To that I say, "Lookie here bitch, I hate on people who in some way, shape, form or fashion disrupt the peace in my life. That can be an annoying singer, a bad driver, a stupid neighbor, etc. Or it could be someone who is simply wack. Bitch".That said, somebody is hating on me HARD and I don't like it. It started when I added myself to the list of notable alumni on the Howard University Wikipedia page. Of course some LOSER with nothing better to do had to try and rob me of my shine and deleted my name. Playa, why you hating? Don't be mad cause you ain't notable like me. Then, I decided to Wiki "Sister Toldja", and what do you know-someone has written an article about me! I'm gonna be a starrah! BUT, the article has been flagged down and tagged for deletion! Again, salting my game. Taking su Read more:Haters

Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool! 2007-06-22 06:09:00 Blogger ate today's piece, which was about how women were just set pieces on Nick Cannon's dumb-ass show "Wild'n Out". Soooo, um...what do YOU want to talk about?*Crickets*Okey doke. When all else fails, I turn to You Tube. God bless Mr. T. He may be the best person on the face of the Earth. Here he is, teaching us to treat our mothers right:Did you recognize Bumper Robinson, also known as "Clarence Sooooooo Fine" from Amen, at the beginning? He was really fine when he got older, I wonder if he still is.Here's the classic "Peer Pressure", with New Edition(!) on vocals:There is so much wrong with this video, it's right. First of all, dude took beer out the garbage. EWWWWW! Second, the little boy who resists the peer pressure has on a mid-riff top. Third, how dramatically cunty was he when he stormed away?

I QUIT THIS B!TCH!!!!- Part One 2007-06-26 16:22:00 Howdy! For those of y'all who don't know, I am officially chunking up the deuce to Washington DC, Pretty Ghetto County and the worst effing job I ever had. As of Sunday, July 1st I am outta this piece! I will discuss where I am moving to at a later date, 'cause I have a temporary residence in one state but will likely live long(er) term in another. That's another story for another day. Let's get this farewell party started. To my former place of employment:How freaking dare you come up to my school selling dreams! I spent way too much money on this fancy Howard degree to be up in anyone's store at one AM folding curtains! Screw you and your "earning potential"!!! Boo, boo, BOOO!

Locked Up 2007-06-25 12:25:00 So, back in 1997, Sister Webby (one of my BFs) was super hyped over Chico DeBarge's new album. I ended up following her advice and buying it myself, and it was quite good. I listened to it last night on the way home from the club and did a little reflecting. For one, the album was called Long Time No See. The "long time" would be the six years Chico spent in jail on drug charges.

So, howdy!Picture this: Chicago, 2002. It was mid-August, and the crew was getting ready to head our seperate ways for college (only Webby and I both went to the same school).I was the first to depart and we decided to kick it strong for the last time the night before I left. Sadly for us, we were all 18 (except for Webby, who was 17) and couldn't really go anywhere fun. We got something to eat and decided to just ride around the city. First, we stopped at Lucky's- a liquor store all the way across town from where any of us lived. You see, Luckys was by our high school and had been "luckily" discovered one mischievious lunch period. As the city had began to crack down on teen drinkiing, we had to stay loyal to
