Jay Z vs. Chris Brown
Jay Z should do himself and the rest of the world a favor. That is of course STAY RETIRED!! Not interested in your album, but the movie is something to SEE! Word on the street is that Chris Brown is expected to beat Jay-Z in sales for the first week. Well, when you think about it general people would buy the Jay-Z album from the bootleg man, while these hot thangs, also known as young, horny teenagers, are going to spend their parents money to purchase Chris Brown's album! We'll see!
The Black Out
Last week they tried to have a Black Out, where black people were supposed to not purchase items from places that weren't black owned. I don't think it was a success for so many reasons. My top three reasons being :
1) It was the first of the month!! Rent had to be paid, bills had to be paid, and food had to be bought! Some people can't wait until the first of the month! They were dying to get to the store and get the things they needed for their households!
2) Truly for anything of this magnitude to work you need better planning and make sure everyone knows why it's being done. Alot of people called into radio shows wanting to know the justification in them not spending money on that day.
3) You need more than just one day to show America how valuable our spending is to the economy. For this to really work, it should have been the entire weekend, not just ONE day!
Those are my reasons why I think it didn't work, besides the MAIN factor that Black people as a whole have lost sight of what community is. We had just as good as neighborhoods as other races until the 70's hit. That "it takes a village to raise a child" days are so past us now.

Friendships
I remember as a kid being told, "Treat people the way you want to be treated", but it seems that never really sticks with children. Yes, everyone does NOT receive that message from their parents, but a some damn point in your life somebody has given you that message.
I guess my problem is always wanting to treat people nicely, with respect while maintain a realist approach to every situation. College, of course, gets you to start critically thinking about every piece of life. Over time I've had to evaluate several friendships and decide if the person and their attitude or whatever they bring to our friendship was worth me keeping them around. Some people got the boot and others are approached from a different angle. Knowing how much of what I should say or do around these people.
So as I rap up these reflections on friendships, I have realized you have to treat people the way the want to be treated. They don't call you unless they need something, you return the favor and not call them until you need something. They don't show up to things you invite them to, cool, but please remember you will have an event and I will return the favor of not showing up!!
One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
Henry Adams
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
