The great COP debate

Ok, so I had and issue today which prompted me to make that statement below. What happened to me is as simple as a cop lied to me about the way something would be handled. I despise liars. It's not the 1st time it has happened. I had no way to know that it would spark a great debate, to my surprise which included one of the good apples in the bushel of cops. I know there are good cops but I keep running into the bad one. Not all of my occurrences are for legal issues, some were just happening to see them off duty at gatherings and such.

Let me give you and example. I was driving down 95th street here in Chicago when I saw a Marathon gas station being robbed. I did everything a civilian is supposed to do. I called 911. While was stuck at an abnormally long red light and was able to witness the robbers going in and as they exited. As 2 of the criminals ran out (three went in) a cop car pulled up next to me. I waved to get them to roll down their window. When they finally did I told them the gas station was being robbed. They told me "I'm off duty now" while they were still in the cop car. I was in shock the light turned green and got on the expressway and hoped the person inside wasn't hurt. "Serve and Protect" yeah ok.

These are some of the comments my facebook post prompted.

Dazelle Yvette I hate cops... how are we supposed to trust to let them serve and protect when they lie to you. THe bastards!

Until you need police assistance

Unless it is to give a ticket or some other money making objective, the police rarely offers assistance. The lack of respect that members of the police force complain about comes from them moving away from what they are supposed to be doing, protecting and serving, and instead looking for ways to raise funds for the department.
Sad that there are more bad apples than good in the bushel...

and what to do when you need assitance from cops themselves....if I kill someone I go to jail. If they kill someone they take a nice vacation with pay.

Don't knock it unless you live it as they do, it is always easy to give opinions from the outside

My my views is not based on opinions is based on personal experience with them. As much as some may wanna live in a fantasy world...not every cops is honest. Just like not every cops is a bad one not everyone is an honest one. There is a lot of documented history of cops being locked up for being dirty....those are facts not opinions. I work with law enforcement as well so my opinions are also from the inside.

hmmm... how to answer. The truth is that they would rather give a ticket (get ur $$) than protect you. They find time to show up in court for your stop sign violation, but cant find the drug dealer that is blowing trees in their face! Y when taxpayer money is suppose to cover their expenses, do they have quotas on tickets to fill? Someone defend that!!

Amen, because it is normal to stand on a corner of an abandoned building at 3am where no buses run, and it's 10 degrees outside and they drive by to give us a ticket for a tail light out. Go figure, I worked on that side and it is stupid...

Why our children need proactive parents.

So, I have come to understand why I say on my son's teacher's all the time. It pays to be proactive. I got a notice that my son was receiving and F in English...the language he speaks and Literature...the language he read. This was more than alarming to me so I sent his teachers an email to get a full understand of what was going on. Its no wonder why some kids struggle in public schools. I moved to share the emails that were exchanged between one of his teachers and myself.

Before reading this I have to say he was missing assignments they have since been turned in and he has been restored to the A-B student I have always know he is.

Without further ado...
FROM ME
Hello,
I am more than a little concerned because I got a report that states Austin is receiving a F in English. I have not heard from anyone and I have no idea why this is the case. Communication has seemed to come to a total halt. I can only work with you all if there is communication and if it is constant. With that said. Can you all please let me know what is missing, late, and or needs to be corrected.

FROM HIS TEACHER
Hello-
Thank you so much for your email regarding Austin's grades. You are correct that Austin has an 'F' in English. He turned in one assignment very late and received 15/30 pts. However, currently he has 0 pts for his Greek God and Goddess Domain project that was due on 12/2. I have asked him at least three times for it and he has said everything from he left it at home, to my mom is checking it. We are now in 2nd quarter and I feel it is time that Austin begins to take responsibility for his work. Ms. TEACHER is there to help him get packed up at the end of the day, and then Mrs. TEACHER is there as well to double check his homework. Are hope is that you can log on to PowerSchool to check Austin's grades, and missing assignments as frequently as you would like. This will allow you to have a better idea as to what assignments Austin has/has not turned in, as well as his current grades for all of his classes.
I also wanted to let you know that Ms. TEACHER will be emailing you as well. Austin was apart of her book club, and did not turn in his journal, which was a major part of his grade. Ms. TEACHER asked him multiply times for this, and again he did not turn it in. His current grade for book club is 250/ 500 which is a 50%, this is a major part of his Literature grade, which will cause him to have an 'F' in Literature as well. Please encourage him to get this journal into Ms. TEACHER, as soon as possible.
I hope this helps answer your questions. We are all looking for Austin to take responsibility for his work and turn it in when it is late. Please use PowerSchool to help keep track of the assignments that he is missing as well as his grades. Please let me know if you

HOLD UP...No this trick didn't!
FROM ME
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my email. I am more than sure that Austin brought his assignment about the Gods and Goddesses to school because I helped him with it. If things are getting twisted as to which assignment is which then I would need some clarification. As I have been from the beginning of school I am a very proactive parent in my son's education. I am sure you are aware of that. Austin has an IEP to assist in these manners, as a matter of fact, we had a meeting to specifically add homework help. The IEP gave him extra time to write down his assignments and Mrs. TEACHER to assist at the end of the day. If Austin were able to do these things without assistance he would not have an IEP. There are several days that Austin's assignment book comes home not signed. I have no idea if he was assisted or not. I spoke with you in the beginning of the year about the homework page on the website. I even offer help to update it if needed. It was barely updated and that is why Mrs. TEACHER was added to the homework help process. If Mrs. TEACHER is to double check his homework then I have never heard anything to the tune that his work wasn't being turned in. Getting Austin at a level where he can be self sufficient is the goal but surely you don't expect that to happen in one quarter. IEPs are not put in place to work in one quarter. I am well aware that I can check the PowerSchool site but I only used that when we were having problems and I was alerted of such issues. So, having said that, I would love if we can go back to our communication level we had at the beginning of the school year. I know it's extra work but it's why we had a meeting to institute an IEP for my son int the first place.

Respectfully Yours
Dazelle
My thing is if you are going to try and be snippy... as an English teacher where in the hell did you get your degree... Don't be an ass if you're not going to spell or grammar check. Now, I know I make my share of errors but dang!

Sound off! Whatcha got to say?

It could have been any of us

I know it's been a minute since I wrote on the web. I have a lot to post so let's get it.

I was watching the news tonight which is something I try to avoid because I find it depressing.

Tonight I was drawn to this story because it could have been anyone to have fall victim to Maury Travis. This was a man resembled nothing less than a monster, he was a serial killer. By tracking Mapquest's search engine they pinpointed the IP address of 33-year-old Maury Travis, he was captured finally but not before claiming between 12 and 20 women's lives. It is still unclear as to how many women actually lost their lives at his hands and we will never really know. Three days after his capture he hung himself in prison.

He not only killed these women but he tortured, raped, and video tape the acts. The videos released showed that he terrified his victim and forced them to completely submit to him before their lives were taken untimely at his hands. Travis could be heard telling one victim, "I can't hear you! Say it clear!" She responded, "You are the master it pleases me to serve you"
There are 3 women who have yet to be identified but the more the pictures circulate the better the chances become for a families to have closure.

I find it terrifying that people like this live amongst us and can blend in just as the friendly neighbor everyone loves. Please people be aware of your surroundings your life is to precious.

What year do we live in?

Ok, So, this has to have a disclamier so that no one gets offended. So, that was my disclaimer:

Anyone who knows even a little about me knows that I am not a racist. Since I have moved up to the Northern Boonies I have come to realize that there is still a group of Caucasians who don't realize that time has evolved and the shit they pull might get them knocked the hell out if they encounter the wrong African-American, lucky for the ignorant heffer that I sat near today in Applebee's I am not that easy provoked to rise.

I took my son to eat dinner and have conversation just to have a little us time. Shortly after we sat down the mother and her two children sat down behind us. Her teenage daughter started talking so loud that the table in front of me turned around. She was reciting a proposal of some type. It sounded like for a dance or something. (no I wasn't eavesdropping as I said before she was VERY loud) at first I thought how cool an enterprising little girl. Then she says and I will throw in something like "and it will help the Africans" please keep in mind this is for her school so the "Africans" she spoke of were the kids in her school...(how do you know this Dazelle you might ask) Well, because her mothers cheers yaee you're learning. That will look good down the line. Then she says even though they have probably lived here all their lives they are still Africans. WTF....

I got hot within my skin. I couldn't even sit there. I told my waitress we had to be moved. Then I told her just as loud as they were speaking how ignorant the people behind me were and what they said. Please keep in mind my son and I were the only African-Americans there. So, I want to take this time to thank God that I have grown in strength and restraint...Thank you God for giving me wisdom and temperance...without him I would have been the one to knock her the heck out.

I can only assume that this is the type of person who would say...I have a Black friend. I am sick to my stomach. Today I actually said... "some white folks get on my damn nerves."

The missing elements of BET's Award Show

So, just like many of you, I felt the awards show lacked some luster. I enjoyed what I was given on a comedic level but I was left hungry for something.

All of the hype around the show told me it was going to be something spectacular. I have never watched the BET Awards show 1st time running. I had to see this one live. I stacked my self a wall of goodies all excited and ready to be swept away. Well, that boat didn't sail. I have the missing elements for the horses mouth...

This was sent to me from one of my twitter friends after I read I just knew I had to share with those who weren't connected to the same friends.

This gives us a look at things in different preservatives. There were some performances that bugged me... Beyonce was one of them. Though she sand the hell outta the song it just didn't fit to me. Now I understand.

What's going on world. I haven't really blogged much since getting this account, save for putting my video work up, but after last nights BET Awards I had to say something. So many thoughts ran threw my mind last night after I watched the awards and here they are.

I did not work the BET Awards. I was there with the DP that I worked with on Girlfriends and I was there observing the show rehearsals from the control room. As you all know I go hard on twitter and the reason for a lot of my excitement was due to what I saw in rehearsal. I was one of the few people that saw the rehearsals prior to the show airing and for some reason or another a lot changed from what was originally supposed to air.

Here is what changed. Alica Keys and Wyclef were supposed to sing "Heal The World" after they accepted their humanitarian award. Beyonce was first going to sing Smooth Criminal then they changed it to I'll Be There/Halo and then she sang something from her own album the day of the show "Ava Marie". T-pain rehearsed signing "Rock With You" and that was on show rundown as well. I'm kinda glad he didn't sing that though. Then on top of all of this, of course there was the Chris Brown drama. As of Friday Chris Brown was slated to perform and he was going to sing "Man In The Mirror". I've heard a lot of rumors as to why he didn't the most talked about one being that Jay-z had him pulled from the show. Not sure if that's true but I will say this. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Al Sharpton, Joe Jackson and some of the Jackson family all sat in the front row in the same row. Jay-Z and Al Sharpton have said publicly that they do not support Chris in this situation and that they sided with Rhianna. Entertainment is way more political than a lot of you may know and the mere fact that he did not perform caused such a big distraction could you imagine what may have happened if he did. This night should have been all about MJ.

With that said I would have tweeted during the show but my phone died and all I left you with was feelings of excitement about the show. I am a director but first and foremost I am a fan of a lot of these artists and I was sitting in the crowd enjoying great music like everyone else. If my phone didn't die trust me my messages would have been a lot different.

First off I love Jamie Foxx and I think he is an amazing talent. With that said I do feel that he promoted his concerts too much and him and Neyo performed way too many times. There are too many talented performers in the industry to have them sing three or four songs each. You can tell they didn't have much time to rehearse as he constantly asked if the feed was on and he walked off stage numerous times when he was supposed to be on stage. That's more of a timing thing and with two days to get ready I'll give them a pass.

In regards to the performances. I loved the old school soul music tributes with Guy, Keith Sweat and New Edition. I loved Beyonce, Jay-z, Maxwell, The Young Ojay's and the new Ojays. I thought Tevin Campbell was random as hell and I have no idea why he performed. I think that was supposed to be Chris Brown's spot because on the production schedule it just had special guest named in that segment.

Here is what I hated about the awards. In regards to the lack of the presenters announcing the nominees at the time I thought was warranted but looking back it seemed rushed and awkward. I hated Don Cornelius being anywhere near a mic and I also found it odd that so many people swore when they knew the show was live. The Baby Boy skit was in bad taste and Ving Rhames...I mean what the hell was he doing. There were way more MJ tributes and cover scheduled that for one reason or another just didn't happen. There was no news about The Game as much as they re-run the episodes and with them possibly acquiring the show I would have thought the cast would have at least presented an award. Why the hell did Young Money bring out all those kids when they where singing about fucking every girl in the world? Jamie went to the top of the balcony and did a segment with the fans everyone seemed so ghetto. Everyone was mugging for the camera, holding up CD's and calling their boys, SMH These were the times during the show that I actually covered my face in embarrassment.

There were some positives. I love that BET honored people that weren't entertainers and celebrities; doctors, mayors, lawyers etc. Our young people need to know that you don't have to be a rapper and an actor to be successful. A man proposed to his girlfriend during one of the commercial break, I wonder if it aired? Jamie Foxx was funny as a host and his MJ outfits were on point. Janet Jackson at the end. She was so strong for doing that. That alone made the show worth it.

All in all I am still a huge fan of award shows, I mean, where else can you see 20 different performances in one night. I feel like BET tried to do too much and maybe they should have either dedicated an entire segment to Mike or did an entire show all about him. I definitely jumped the gun with my excitement for the show but if you would have saw what I saw then you would have said the same things I did. I so also think that it's a different experience seeing something live rather than on TV but it is what it is. I truly hope that BET steps there game up next time and they learn from this experience.

Thanks for reading

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

There is a time and a place for children. I am pretty sure that you can remember your life before you had children. I myself am a parent and I strongly feel that you should have the decency and respect of adult time when you have a young or unruly kid. I went to a restaurant late last night it was after 10pm so for me that's late. Children should not be allowed to hang that late. Now granted it was a Friday night so there is no school tomorrow. I can see if you have a teenager you are having your bonding time but you know what expect out of your teen. However, when you child is 5 and under order your shit to go.

No one wants to hear your fucking child screaming through the restaurant. No one wants your child to run up to their table and say hi and sticking his/her motley paws in their fries. No one wants to see you running through the restaurant to get your kid. If you are the parent who sits there and eggs them on ask "what are you doing? Where are you going?" saying "I see you!" all while giggling right along with them, everyone in the joint want to shake the shit out of you too. You know there were times when you yourself wondered why some folks weren't controlling their kids. You have just become that person. Let me assure you that you are not only person in the joint with a kid. Generally speaking at 10pm most of us just left ours with a sitter or they can be at home until we get back. Follow suit and leave your kids at home after hours.

Have Women come to this...

I was having a conversation with one of my male friends about relationships. Our conversation was spawn because I asked how his dating profile was working for him. He has had a profile on one of the largest black dating site for a while. He decided to take a new approach and asked me to write his verbiage for him since he has a hard time writing about himself. So, I got all the detail on what he wanted and didn't want and I ran from there. The one thing that he adamant about physical attributes. He had to have a woman who was in shape and not afraid to work out with him. Simple right? Right! So, I pumped out his profile text and uploaded my masterpiece. When he saw the page he loved it. Great... my deed is done.

This morning while speaking with him, he told me he had to change his page. Naturally I wanted to know why. He said "I was getting hate mail from that". That was a little shocking to me so I had to to go back and see what I wrote.

The part that cause hate mail

The woman I am looking for is an out of the box thinker, can hold an intelligent conversation about current affairs or mindless drivel about reality shows. My girl doesn't have to be built like a model but it is a MUST that she is healthy and wouldn't mind going to the gym with me. She has to be able to have fun in front of a camera cause I love to snap photos.

I need for the woman out there to tell me what in the world would make you think a man is arrogant from this statement? I automatically assumed it was the women with more to love kicking dust at him, but it wasn't. It was mostly the women who are appearing to be in shape. Has it come to pass that we as women don't see the possibilities of staying fit. Do we all think...(well do you all think) that is inevitable the you will get fat so that comment isn't fair? I am hear to say it for the brothers who fell they can't say it cause women will hate them. It's not hard to walk around the gym lap a few times. If you can't afford a membership. It's not hard to walk around the damn block. Hell learn to push away from the table. Now, before you jump on me I know some folk are just thickalicious and it is what it is but, you can still look good and be healthy. If you feel that you aren't happy with your body...do something to prevent the downward spiral. Cause when a man marries you and you let go... so does his eyes. Oh shut it up! I am aware that all cases are different. I know some men just look regardless and I am not saying we all have to be a size 2. Women want men who take care of themselves can't you give that at least in return? Come on give me feedback on this one cause I am real confused.

Easter Train Ride

Pay close attention to the picture. The face you see is the one that pretended to be a teenager in efforts to get sympathy from Metra officials (metra it a transit train in Chicago).

On Thursday April 9th I set off to my girlfriends house for the Easter holiday weekend. My 11 year old son and I got on the Metra train and I took my cat, bubbles. Not a problem right? I get on the train and I take her out of her travel case, that conductor tells me that I have to put her back in. All gravy! So I put her back into her case and continued our journey to the other side of the world it would seem.

Running short on time my son and I scurry over to Union Station. Hind site it 20/20 I should have left a little earlier to make a more seamless transition from one train to the next. I am trying to make a train to Grayslake and time is short. In our haste I decided to forgo buying a ticket in advance and I decide to pay on the train. I go to get on the train and the guys tells me that I can't bring animals on the train. I tell him the I had her on another train. His response was and I quote "I don't care what you did on the other train, you can't bring it on here". My response was and I quote "shut up (waving him off with my hand) I ain't trying to hear what you are saying". So, I proceed to the next train where the conductor there tells me that I indeed can't bring bubbles. I start in on the same story that I had her on the other train and he then sent me to the ticket office to get approval.

Off the the ticket vendors I headed, bubbles and kid in tow. When I get to the window I pulled the wild card of agents. This zany chic starts to do what she calls the kitty dance in her booth (WTF). My only thought is how can I work her over zealous personality to my advantage. I elected to revert to childhood and pout. I am sporting an Afro-puff hair style and little to no make-up. She assumes that I am a kid and the my son is my little brother. Desperate to get on the train I didn't correct her. I tell her I don't know what to do and I can't leave my kitty. So, she saunters off doing the kitty dance to get someone higher than her because I told her of my problem. Five people came back to the window with her, none with the authority to approval Bubbles.

(FLASHBACK) as I was going through the turnstile this short guy opened them up and said "gotta make a path for the Queen". I smiled and headed to the ticket counter. (BACK TO THE STORY)

The 5th person to come up is the guy who flirted with me... Oh yeah, I see my in. I keep eye contact with him and pull at his heart-strings. He then tells me to follow him. My son kept an eye on where he went so after I finally purchased the ticket(I was over charged for my kid) we headed in that direction. My son attempted to have me head in a direction that led outside to an area that just didn't set well with me. So, we waited until he came back in. When he came in he gave me the beautiful cashmere coat hand crafted in Italy(BONUS). He told me to wrap the coat around the cage and don't make eye contact with anyone... he proceed, when you get on the train get on the 1st care you come to and head to the tail end of it, shove the case on the floor and keep it covered with that coat. I started to the train and he called me back gave me his card and said if I got stopped he didn't tell me anything. Long story short a really nice Metra dude (who shall remain nameless) tried help me smuggle my kitty on the train.

So, I get in the hall with all of the conductors who saw Bubbles before but I just kept on my path. I felt the heat from them starring. I kept going. We got on the train and I did exactly what he told me to do. Finally on the train I was just about to sigh a sigh of relief until the conductor from the train got on. I started talking to my son saying absolutely nothing. He asked me if my sugar was low LOL (no I am not diabetic). He headed in the other direction looking high and low literally. When he gets to my car I try not to look at him and he comes right up to me and says "where's the cat". I totally froze unable to say anything. Then he said "oh she is covered, okay just keep her covered". Talk about nearly having a cow... I now know the feeling.

Once the train started moving I felt better so I called the nice guy and thanked him. He then told me the conductor on that train was a friend of his and he asked him to look after me. He did just that he checked to see how I was every 10 minutes. The woman next to me realized what was going on and offered me on of her mini bottles of wine. I gladly accepted!

And that was my train ride from hell.

Obama's income...If you made the money would you care.

I was tooling around the net this morning and I came across and article about President Obama's taxes and how much he made. So, I got to reading all of the comments and then felt compelled to write my own. Now, we all know I can be long winded... Yahoo wouldn't let me get everything out so I had to finish it up over here. The article that caught my eye was "The Obamas and Bidens File Taxes" Read it here

My response isn't to the article itself but the loony responses it captured.

My Response
Dude the President's salary is $400,000 a year. While I sit here and wish I made that much I didn't apply for a job the earns that much. Now, I am almost sure he hasn't gotten that entire check yet... call me crazy but he hasn't been there for a year, correct. They did mention the two books correct.... so I don't have to. As for the drop in there income. Michelle did have a job. She was an executive and the University of Chicago Hospitals. Don't take my word for it look it up. It is easy for us to be bitter over how much they are making. The sad part is they did everything they were suppose to be paid top dollar. While some of us are highly educated maybe we haven't tapped into our true calling to make the top dollars we desire. On the other hand everybody won't make that type of money anyway.

Hey here is a thought. Why don't you look up the sales of the books and figure out how much they made. Little hidden secret. Authors make more money off the sales of their books than Vocalist make off their albums.

So Nikki here is to making more than your fav. Mary J.

Is it a Coincidence or a Conspiracy

I have been trying to hold this side of me inside but the current affairs won't let me. I couldn't help but notice that it may be possible that sabotage is in the air.

During one of President Obama's many meetings McCain( you remember his opponent who kept mentioning "Joe the Plummer") may have opened a can of worms when he made the statement. "I don't think that there's any more graphic demonstration of how good ideas … have cost taxpayers an enormous amount of money." see the entire story

Normally we would write this off as simple banter form Republicans to attempt to throw salt on the Democratic President. I would have never mentioned anything or even written this blog if just a few short days ago, the schematic plans to marine one didn't leak out. If you didnt' know but I am sure everyone heard.

A file-sharing glitch reportedly has put engineering, cost, and communications details about President Barack Obama's Marine One helicopter in the hands of Tehran. NBC affiliate WPXI in Pittsburgh reported Saturday that a Pennsylvania-based security company called Tiversa uncovered the classified information at an IP address in Iran's capital city. see the entire story

Hmm... something is fishy in Denmark. Could it be that this information was leaked to the very country that President Obama is setting his focus on now in an attempt to do the unmentionable. Is it impossible to think that now the President actually has to get a new helicopter for his own safety? If this is the case then he is now force to go with plans that may be compromised, or rigged for failure. Could this be a way for the Republicans to throw more salt on the President in an attempt to make it seem that his is misusing the taxpayers money?

It is my firm belief that if anything happens to the man that many of us call with affection"My President" it will only be from the inner workings of the government. Most people want to see him succeed because we need him to. We as a people NEED the help. The only people who benifit from his failure is government.

Racist or stupid

The picture here of the White House with watermelons on the front lawn titled No Easter Egg Hunt This Year was sent from the personal email account of Dean Grose, the mayor of Los Alamitos, California.

Now it is my understanding that he sent this stupid stupid email to a businesswoman and city volunteer Keyanus Price, who is black, she said she received the e-mail from Mayor Dean Grose's personal account on Sunday.

Is anyone thinking what I am thinking?

I understand there is still racism and people who will crack a racial joke here and there. I can admit I have but I am far from a racist. I can believe that he may not be a racisit. My problem come in when the man says. "He said he was unaware of the racial stereotype that black people like watermelons. He said he and Price are friends and serve together on a community youth board.
Bottom line is, we laugh at things and I didn't see this in the same light that she did," Grose told the AP. "I'm sorry. It wasn't sent to offend her personally - or anyone - from the standpoint of the African-American race."

Now lets stop and think logically for a minute. Even if the man did receive this email from someone esle( I am giving him credit for not creating the image). Being an intelligent human, wouldn't common sense kick in and say... This is something that may not be appropriate. I would think that a man wise enough to get elected to office would not be a drone and simply push the forward button.

I think that he simly sent it to eveyone in his folder not thinking. The only thought process he had was hehehehe this if funny FORWARD! He just forgot to pay attention to who all recieved it. Hence, the unemployed mayor.

Twitter Flush Out

I have been on an off of Twitter. My profile and been unlock, lock and unlocked again. Through of my decisions on who should I allow to follow me and should I limit it, my answer has now come to locking my page.

On my commute home today, I over heard a guy chatting with some chick about marketing and how its easy to blind follow someone and snag their viewers. The way he was doing it isn't new to any of us. It is quite simple in fact. He goes to a popular persons page and looks to see who is viewing them. Then he goes on and follows about 20 of that person's viewers. Once they start to follow him back he then... in his words "give them the boot or your page gets cluttered".

The reason he boots the people is so his messages will be the only ones basically visible on his page. He page is back loaded with marketing. Now, I have web marketing pages myself but I am not sneaky on how I do it. I am not trying to trick anyone.

He uses Google Adsense and let me 1st say it a legal way to make money online. The trickery is what they frown upon. Since his links aren't actually hidden on the page you click, technically Google won't even give him a smack on the wrist.

So, I am electing to block my updates and approve who is becoming a follower. I would hate for you guys to fall prey to a guy who is simply looking to spam you all. It is so easy to create a page even if Twitter suspends your previous so now I have to go on defensive with Twitter preying stalkers.

Having said that, I am about to delete everyone I haven't heard from at all. I love to meet new people but If you are a stealthy follower then buh-bye!

Have you found this to be the case with your users? Do you think I am over reacting? Sound off let me know!

Whore is Hustling REBUTTAL

O.K. So I said "Whoring ain't Hustling" will a friend of man name J decided he wanted to play devil's advocate. So, we have decided to make this a He Said-She Said Posting.

Since I like the idea so much will be continue with these types just to get you opinions on both sides. Without further delay I present to you

He Said-She Said
Whoring is Hustling
by
J

Whether it’s right or wrong does not take away from the truth that prostitution is hustling.
In some cases a prostitute may have to work harder for their money then others to get their clients.

Data backing me up

To copy the definition of “hustle” from here it is:

3 a: to make strenuous efforts to obtain especially money or business b: to obtain money by fraud or deception c: to engage in prostitution.

So by the very definition of the word hustle in the dictionary whoring is hustling.

In most cases prostitution or whoring however you may feel comfortable saying it, is in most cases more honest than other hustles. Now what do I mean by that? A prostitute is being honest and letting one know that he or she is willing to do acts as long as they get paid. You have some not all but some man and woman that lead people on by giving them the impression that they have an interest in them. By doing so they get as much as they can financially from that person. Yes I’m taking about gold diggers. If you look up the definition of a gold digger it is: a person who uses charm to extract money or gifts from others. Yet that is not against the law. A gold diggers lies yet that is legal. A prostitute is honest in letting you know they want money in exchange for their services yet that is illegal. It just doesn’t stop there. You have your realtors, lawyers, politicians, officers, and I can keep on going that mislead and lie to people yet it is an acceptable hustle. I’d rather deal with honesty if you ask me.

Now what is really so wrong with prostitution as long as it is being practiced safely and by that I mean using protection. It is their body that they are using and they are not hurting anyone. If anything they are providing satisfaction and in some cases fulfilling someone’s fantasy. Now is that really so wrong? Yes they are using their body to get money but isn’t stripping using your body and looks as well to get paid? Isn’t sex operators using their voice to get paid by turning someone on and getting them off? Are they hurting anyone? Yet all those are hustles as well. Some people may not agree or think those are respectable jobs yet they are a hustle as well.

Sometimes someone does not want to deal with the stress and issues of the dating game and just want to enjoy the company and satisfaction of another. No headaches, no strings attached, and sometimes yes even cheaper. You date and date and sometimes even get lead on. Spend all this money on courting someone and they may not be honest with you and let you know they not interested. Paying a prostitute for their attention and affection that you may want at the moment in some cases is a lot more convenient then going thru the dating game.
So why am I bringing up prostitution and dating comparisons? To point out prostituting is a service provided by someone who gives you what you ask for in exchange for money where as others may lie and take advantage of you and get nothing in return. With prostitutes at times may get you more bang for your bucks.

In closing I wanna say this, I’m not saying I agree with prostitution or not I’m just saying it is a hustle respectable or not. Maybe a good topic for discussion to follow “Whoring ain’t hustling” should be “Should whoring be legal”.

Another one bites the dust

Okay ! Now I have told my friends that if they are going to be an exotic dancer there are three things they need to know. The three rules are so basic that they are flawless.

Three simple rules to going into dancing.

Get in
Get On
&
Get OUT

There is no secret to the meaning. It is as clear as the platforms they wear on their pretty little feet. It is not code for:

Get in the club and find a trick
Get on a trick and ride him into the sunset or get on drugs
or
Get out of the club by way of being fired for breaking the basic rules of the club

So, having said that, a former friend of mine has gotten the boot from the *Litter Box. I can understand if you were fired because they caught you not reporting all of your money because they take way to much from the girls. I can even understand if you were released of your contract by not agreeing to bleach your hair blonde as one of the managers so desperately wants all the girls to do. My poor poor idiotic former friend fell hard after I was no longer there. She fell into the drug girl crew. She not only fell she allowed people to cloud her vision.

This chic not only started making less money but she gained weight and lost her focus. We are talking about a person who it wasn't unheard of to make $800 on a day shift. So, this is the second person to get fired because she was caught with cocaine in her bag. Oh wait the other girl's cocaine fell out of her bra as she was checking out to go home.

I swear exotic dancing isn't about sex, drugs, and dumb girls. Exotic dancing is a stepping stone. You are not there to make friends. You are not there to make a career of it. It's plan and simple. Stack your paper!

Get In
Get On
&
Get OUT

Get in a good club and established
Get on the list of girl who they call for to VIP or Get on your Grind
(make what you can within a year or 2)
&
Get OUT~~~ Really Get the hell out of the business

* is a place which detail will be given in my book

Whoring ain't Hustling

Ok so the title implies a great deal. I am pretty sure some of you may disagree. I welcome all you have to say. If you are a Whore (street slang hoe) then what you are doing is not a real hustle. It may be a lifestyle but it sure as hell isn’t a true hustle. You may think you're getting over or getting one leg up(no pun intended)
but, you are really just in a vicious cycle of nothingness.

Data backing me up
HUSTLE: to obtain by energetic activity b: to sell something to or obtain something from by energetic and especially underhanded activity c: to sell or promote energetically and aggressively d: to lure less skillful players into competing against oneself at (a gambling game)

Now, what that says in layman's terms: get out there and get on your business. Most of you get respect because you are making it do what it do and others, what you sell might piss some folks off but… it’s still totally legal all 50 states.


Escort: a term for a woman paid by the hour, not the act, but usually for sex. A prostitute. Often, higher quality and cost compared to street

Laymen’s term: you too are a whore. You might get paid more but, rest assured, you are still a Whore.

Whores have gotten creative as how to find tricks too. I have even seen some pose as net models to lure them in. Some even have their own hub. Let me say this. A hoe is a hoe! We all know what and who you are. You can change your name, cut off part of your face in pictures, blur your face, but your IP address never lies. If you have to hide what you do, should you be doing it at all? Is there someone you don’t want to know what your illegal deed is that you do? Here’s an idea! Why don’t you take your talent of posing for pictures or designing your elaborate site and build a paysite, now that is legal across all state lines. You can live an easier life if you untie the mattress from you back. Standing upright would feel great. You could finally kiss your loved ones feeling free of wondering ...where the penis in my mouth last night has been.

I will be the first to admit that in the past if I could have been paid crazy money just to hang out with someone, I would have been all over it. Now, if you want to mount me or even imply... an As$ kicking is sure to happen. I am not touch or user friendly. I have always carried mace and a weapon and I have never been afraid to use them. Oh, and you don’t wanna make me call my boys.(shouting out loud...Raaaay Raaaay LOL) Since we don’t live in a world of candy-drop houses and pure goodness, I will stick to being a worker in the rat race of life. My hustle is tight!

If I have ruffled your feathers then you my friend just might be a whore. What you are doing is illegal and prosecutable in 49 states… (Yes stupid even Nevada) Being a whore in Sin City will have you calling your mother for bail. What will you say? ...Mom, I was out on my hustle and the po-po just picked me up for no reason. So, that would not only make you a jailed whore but a stupid one too.

In closing I would like to say this. I know folks who walk on both sides of the line. This isn’t a knock at them but reality is reality. If you are wondering where the 1 state that having sex in exchange for money is legal and indeed a real hustle, I’ll tell you but I will not post it in my blog. Click Here.
