Hiatus…

I’m not going to do any updates for a while on either this blog or the other, more popular blog. I’m at a point where I want to re-evaluate myself. I have been doing so for a while and I always thought I can do better.

I’ll be back. Just not sure when at the moment. 

The “We Respect Dark Women” tho? That’s got a queue running, so it will still do the 6 posts a day. 

I am not feeling myself, nor the stuff that I’m posting and frankly, when I think of things like that, I wanna… just take a break.

I’ll be back when I’m good and ready.

I saw this at Staples when I went to get ink for my printer. I decided to get it because it’s someplace I want to go. So every time I look at my notepad, I can smile and know I will go there this upcoming year.
Especially since I’m going to see a special someone. :)

Is it Just Me or… #1

When you were younger and you watched old shows in Black and White, have this question ever been asked to your mom?

“Mom, was the world Black and White when you were young? How did you became so colorful when you’re old?”

However…

Weed tumblrs, I am immune to you. 

It’s like “another weed post. Yeppie” and scroll past it.

All of this weed advertised to my eyes and I still don’t have an urge to smoke it…

… by myself.

Sometimes…

I forget that I follow queer folks. 

But y’all always find a way to remind me. I have no problem with it…

but you sorta think I’ll get use to it by now…

You know what I love about this gif here?
That I actually outlasted everyone who given up during the NYC Marathon last year.

My question is..when are you gonna bring back the fun to tumblr man?!! :D LOL Just kidding just kidding. On the real: With your interest in technology, and wanting to spread word to others through the use of technology, have you thought of creating an app for users? An app to get more people connected and engaged with news or with what you're thinking about?

My desire to do this is still present on my mind, via the ThoughtRemixer.com site.

However, my desire to blog isn’t as high as it used to be. Not because I’m bored with it, but more like… I’m stuck. While I was attempting to redesign ThoughtRemixer, my mind was stuck on something… I’m not sure what it was at the time, but my desire just burned out. ThoughtRemixer lay dormant for a while. HipHopJourney (the music site) then came after. It started to become a “what’s the point?” thing by the time I lay off of it for too long.

A few weeks ago, however, the problem I was “stuck on” came up again. It turned out that the problem was what I like to call “the little hata”. Hata always seem to get on my nerves with his bullish look at life, especially now that I reach an age where society looks at me like “you’re no longer young”, even thought I got mad years left. 

It’s a matter of me shaking off this hata. The only way to do that is to relaunch the site in a timely matter and get back to blogging.

As far as the “app”, I do have the ability to make ThoughtRemixer into an App. (An HTML 5 App, but hey, it counts.) I just need to finish adding one more element that will make the site more “stickable”… like how the TheBoondocksFan and Life-Remixed used to be. It’s called “gamification”, awarding points for commenting, login in daily, sharing stuff and earning stripes, getting (real) prizes as appreciation.

We’ll see. I just want to put something up that feels like a progression, not a recession. 

Business (as unusual)

So today, I gotten a call the people that want to help take care of my business name, incorporate and so on. They like the business plan, but they are wondering if I really need to incorporate in the first place. 

Before they go to the next step, they asked me if I have an accountant. My answer was no. They asked do you have your books in order…

What I wanted to say was…

My paperwork that I try to keep together were in a storage place, but I was a little behind in the bills, so along with the last of my life from Phoenix, my data from old machines, my music samples, and the last of my official paperwork is now all auctioned away to the highest bidder about 3 months back and I pray to the Universe that the IRS will accept the “er… I lost all the data of the last 10 years to my inability to pay my bills, I’m lucky to have backups of pictures and my only photo album is on me, so can we like… pretend the last 6 years didn’t happen and start anew?” 

(I am not over the fact that someone got my receipts from the World Series of 2001. Literally. My receipts. I worked those games. Next to the buttons I collected, those are my only proof of being at the World Series! THE WORLD SERIES!!!!)

What I said instead?

I said: ”My books are not as balanced as I would like them, but they pay the bills.”

They advise me that maybe it’s not best to incorporate until I get advise from an accountant. They will consider me after I get accountant advice, since it’s expensive and maybe counter-productive to do an Inc.

So… maybe I should just get a DBA, Trademark and call it a day?

I Make My Own Rules…

So, I submitted a business plan and professional people wanna help me get my business name and corp out there. They want to pay for my business name and to incorporate my “startup”. $1000+ filing fees + states fees. For free.

Now, my business plan is unique. How so? The business plan is from $100 Startup… this Business plan literally has headings like “Ka-Ching” and “Hustling”.

And it’s only 3 pages long, with sentences short and to the point.

Yes. THREE. PAGES. LONG.

And people are taking me seriously

I think I got my swagger back. :)

So basically, it’s either “join us loud & proud or retire in silence?” 
I don’t care how many tell-tell signs that points to the following statement “Queen Latifah is a lesbian”. I don’t even care if she is one at this point. She kept saying her personal matters are that… personal! I don’t know half of celebrities’ wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends. 
This is one aspect of the LGBT movement I don’t like. What about those that don’t want to disclose, not for the sake of being shunned, but more because they just plain don’t want to talk about it?
What about the heterosexual celebrities that don’t talk about their personal lives? 
We keep forgetting that they are also human. Geez… leave this “poor” woman alone already.

i wish there was a mind reading app for making poems

theres words in me. theyre stuck.

a bunch of thoughts and emotions that i just cant breath enough life into. 

a bunch of words on the tip of my tongue. hiding under the surface waiting to sprout

There’s these - words - stuck on netural -
thoughts + emotions escapes my grasp…
Creeping ever so slightly on my tonuge
Vanishes like stars within city lights at night

There’s gotta be an app for that
So I can get the words in that trap
As I shoot them out, filling in gaps
of the strings of the guitar of craps…

wait… craps… raps… er… damn it…

the train left the station after “gaps”.

Put a British Accent on a Black Woman…

… And suddenly, the most boring topics to me becomes the most FASINCATING thing! And if she can change to an islander accent at a drop of a hat, then it’s on like Donkey Kong!

Dating Site Email…

So, I recently got an email from a dating site that I joined YEARS ago and forgot it was active. (I forgot when I joined it, but it was out of boredom) The dating site was actually a Facebook app, so it copied all of my information from Facebook to it without me writing a profile. So, it wasn’t a dating profile.

But I do recall “who I would like to meet” being “Asian, Black/African Descent, Latino/Hispanic, Other”. Now, people still send me messages now. Most of the people interested in me are… White. (Nothing against White people, but the only ones I will even consider dating are those who managed to make me forget that they are indeed White, which sadly, never happened.) 

Today, this came into my Inbox. I would like to share it with you:

“Hello! How nice to see such wonderful man on this site. My heart has started to fight more strongly when I saw your profile and mine internally feeling has told to me, you that, which is necessary to me. I very much would like to learn you better, to share all things about myself with you, because I as open book girl. I would like stay touch with you and so i give to you my e-mail: *BLOCKED* If you are interested in me, that please communicate with me through my e-mail. Take care. Kiss you in your face only with your permission :) x.” 

This is me…
