But I’m okay now. . The fire actually did not engulf my house like the one in this picture here I burrowed from a fire engineering site, but it did do substantial damage to my property. I lost all my things. My Computer, dressers, clothes, shoes, information, wallet, identity cards, etc. This would explain my idleness here on the net lol. But everything will be alright. However, I do have a peace of mind. I had insurance, so the insurance company will be covering and restoring my place to normal. It’s because of this I am not worried. I was when it first happened, I was down. But now? I’m ready to go. It’s funny at the blink of an eye life can change and alter your plans just like that. I was ready to drop this new project for you called Who’s Afraid of the Dark? My second mixtape too. But it’s been a ‘blessing,’ in disguise, because I’ve had more time to look at the material, make adjustments, make it better. I’ve improved greatly since then. I’m rambling and I’m sleepy. Didn’t sleep for a 48 hours. I’m checking out. Hit you all up later. Take care and peace to you.
And remember African Origins is more than a rap name it’s a philosophy. YOu can check out my music at My Space. Be warned this is old stuff, stay tuned to see what I got coming. I got better amunition.
Yes. Happy 4/20 day. The only day that law abiding citizens smoke up in protest to the ridiculous restrictive drug laws we put up with everyday. Nah, just kidding. If you smoke weed, more than likely you smoke it regardless of 4/20 or not. I don’t smoke it because it does nothing for me for some reason. Maybe I’m not a competent smoker I don’t know. But I do know a lot of people get arrested for weed. Why I guess money. But I have to go along with the proponents of legalizing weed and taxing it. I mean this law would be no different than allowing alcohol(an industry which is worth 155 billion dollars according to the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Society) to be legal. Though weed has been proven to be more harmful to one’s lungs than cigarettes. I still feel legalizing the drug will take power away from the drug kingpins. Not the ones who rap about all the money they allegedly made from selling drugs, but the real Noriega’s. Ya know? But anyway, I’m not gonna write too much because I know people are going to be out there lighting up for democracy. So take care peace. Signing out.
If you haven’t seen it Please know what you are about to see is really revolting.
Edit: This video is censored because the original was taken down.<br><br>
I just had to post this just to show you what people do when they thought few people were looking. I hope Domino’s can bounce back from this humiliation and hopefully this particular Domino’s can make adjustments in their hiring practices. The female employee featured in the video is a convicted sex offender. Not saying people shouldn’t get a second chance, but ….um I don’t want no pervs touching mah FOOD!!!!
But there is some relief (and not the kind put on your salami) and consolation. The two have been arrested and are awaiting trial. And here is a response from Domino’s.
This is a question of integrity, hygiene, and morality. Unfornately people do things when they think noone’s looking. I just hope everybody learns from this situation. The poor owner of the restaurant and the unfornate person who ate that food. Also the perpatrators of these deeds. I hope they serve jail time. Preferably 6 months in jail or something along those lines, for wreckless endangerment. Not an attorney don’t know what you would call their crimes necessarily but something. Ya know? lol Peace out.
People getting robbed and killed for no reason again
Here is the new story that got me going. Sad and angry all the same.
Here is a story of a restaurant worker getting killed after complying with the assailants.
Here is another story of violence committed by the police.
Enough is enough. My brother’s been robbed and everybody I know who’s lived in Atlanta has been robbed in some capacity. I have no real solution. I’m just purchasing a gun. You deserve death if you rob from me or mine. I wanna say Peace out like I normally do. But some times peace brings you nothing but labels of weakness. And perceived weakness can make you an easy target unfortunately. I say death to all thieves. I have no remorse for those who would steal from any person making an honest living. Till next time good night.
Everybody needs to relieve some stress every now and then. We all especially need some release during this economic turbulence.
No money but wanna have fun
Here are some ideas to have fun on a budget.
1. I love observing animals but I don’t want to spend to go to the zoo.
Go to the Pet Store! You don’t have to pay to look at the animals, and you don’t have to pay period to play with them.
2. I want to workout but don’t want to get a gym membership.
Easy solution. Go to the weights section at Walmart. You lift weights there for free. But the dumb bells only go up to 35. You know some of us need 40+ pounds to arm curl.
3. I want to go to the strip club, but don’t have the money or I am too ashamed of being spotted in public.
Ahem…well I don’t know what your moral hangups may be, but if you are really bent on not meeting real women. You can look up internet porn. It’s one of the biggest industries in the world. (You’re not the only one who has it.)
Porn!!
So that concludes my vacation ideas during these trying times. I’m short on ideas. Sometimes it’s good to laugh to keep from crying.
Until next time. Been working on some new stuff. Ready to put it out there. Well I’m out of it tired and sleepy. Peace. African Origins signing out.
I wish I had finished this earlier, for I have predicted a few things which have already come true. For example:
I knew Fedor would beat Arlovski at Affliction Day of Reckoning. I didn’t know how. But I predicted the fight would probably not make it out of the 1st round. And I was right.
Ok. I predict African Origins will be one of the most prominent and dominant emcees in Southern Hip Hop history this year. It’s gonna happen. Trust me.
And oh yeah. I predict a Great Depression II.
Peter Schiff predicts housing bubble and recession:
Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Nouriel Roubini predicted this recession which the Mainstream Media denied for 2 years. And low and behold we have a recession. Now the same people are predicting a Depression if Government keeps up the bail out strategy.
We’ve become a consumer nation as opposed to a nation which produces. After outsourcing all the manufacturing jobs overseas. Americans consume a lot more than they produce all on credit. So now it’s time to pay. Oops, there’s no real money.
The government(Bush and more recently Obama administration) believes certain entities are too big to fail. Wallstreet got a 750+ Billion dollar bail out while the auto industry has to have hearings sell their private jets etc etc. Experts(the ones whom predicted this predicament) believe the market will correct itself. Housing will come back to it’s actual value as opposed to inflated prices. Companies dying can die and rebuild or die and spring new companies elsewhere. But the GOVT will not allow this to happen. Prolonging the process. So bad assets stay companies that should’ve failed remain and they will fail again and ask for more bail out money.
C U all later. I’m working on new stuff, so stay tuned. You can contact me on my myspace. Till next time. I’ll try to have more solutions for you; I need more research though. Peace.
BEAR WITH ME I’M VERY VERY SLEEPY RIGHT NOW. PLEASE READ.
Liberty
I pose this question to you because I am afraid of where this country is going. I am a immigrant who has lived in this country for many years. I love this country and it’s beautiful ideals. What I’ve gained from the blood, sweat and tears of Patriots, Civil Rights Leaders, feminists, etc is invaluable. Though I may critique this country, it is because no country is perfect and this one can always be made better. Right now we are facing very troubling times as a people. This country’s history can be marked with dark and dirty events; genocide, slavery, racism, and subjugation of all women. But America’s timeline is also filled with strong men and women of courage. Who were willing to pay the ultimate price for their beliefs and often times dissent. The forefathers of this great land were flawed by today’s standards in some regards, but they also were people of great vision and wisdom. Writing the Constitution to protect Americans from Man’s lust for and abuse of power.
Constitution
On November 4th, 2008 America made history by voting for the first black president of the United States. It was inspiring for me to see what I didn’t think I would ever see in Obama’s victory. However, there were cries and yearnings for change from American college campuses to foreign countries, like England and Nimibia! Change is needed I agree. Now a days my ideas on change come from Libertarian philosophies: limited government, limited war, individual rights, and protection of land and property. And of course that’s in addition to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I wish we could all rise above this bickering two-party system to see we are actually one.
Neal Boortz
Yesterday on Neal Boortz’s radio show.
The espoused Liberatarian, (who by the way seldom finds faults with Bush or the Republican party um…ever. Emphasis on espouse!) said that
water-boarding is not a form of torture.
He then proceeded to not allow callers to call in and say terrorism doesn’t work. Even one caller informed Boortz of John Mccain’s stance on torture. Mccain a veteran of Vietnam who was toruterd every two hours all the while having dyssentry. If I could paraphrase he said, ‘he is living proof torture doesn’t work.’ But Neal Boortz got more angered and only wanted people to agree with his proclamation.
He even came up with analogies to support his stance.
A.
He said any responsible parent would support torture to save a loved one. Which I guess could be true. But it’s very faulty reasoning, because the choice is strictly from emotional impulse. It is not effective. John Mccain cited every general he knew saying torture is not effective! Why does Neal feel he knows better?
B.
Neal’s second point was even more fallacious. (But what do you expect from someone who thinks slave masters cannot be judged because of the times they lived in.) His next point was presented in a question.
“If torture isn’t effective why has it been used so often?”
I think this fallacy is Argumentum ad numerum. Yea I feel smart! Which means to suggest one’s point is more valid because many people believe it is right or true. But as we know popular doesn’t always mean right. Violence is as old as human beings, slavery has been used for 1000 of years in Africa, Asia, Europe, and 400+ years in America. Uh, any benefits to the aforementioned? Didn’t think so.
People let’s question where we get our news. Who we allow into the minds of our children and grandchildren. I’m not for silencing dissenting voices like Neal did on his show, but I want us all to know of these dangerous opinions. Don’t be unaware of the dangerous strategy of fear and demagoguery tactics. Let’s unite be strong and live.
African Origins signing out. Long post I know. But this really got me going.
Read some Wendy Day among the other music business and econ blogs I read daily. Got caught up to speed. Origins signing out my peeps! B Good 10 months ago
