-Perse's Birthday was on the 6Th and we celebrated it at Catch 22 where we celebrated Killa's Birthday. As you may or may not know I partied so Hard at Killas Party that my camera Broke. So no Pics from Perse's party, at least none that I have.
-Dirt's Birthday was on the 25Th and on the 27Th we celebrated it at Club Taj, which Ironically is on the other side of Catch 22 lol.
- I learned that I went from bad eyesight to flat out Astigmatism in my right eye, joint ruined my day when I found out but its all good I guess.
- I got my new Curve 8900. BlackBerry is where its at Meng!
- And thanks to my Myspace page being hacked, I now have a new page, so Add me, my URL is www.myspace.com/enobull2

WTF is a Father?

Fa•ther[fah•ther] n. -
        1.  a male parent
        2.  A man who exercises paternal care over other persons.


This is the dictionary's definition to the word 'Father', so technically, by definition EVERYone on this planet has a father because as we all know, no women alive can reproduce a sexually. But for those people (like myself) who say or feel like saying "I don't have a father" allow me to speak on your behalf.

See in my almost 22 years of living, I've been with my Family which consists of My Mother who is my best friend, My younger brother who is also a best friend and my mothers husband (my biological father, but I no longer consider him to be so.) In those 21+ years My Mothers husband has made both his physical appearance and financial aid present to my brother and I but I personally feel that it takes way more than both to make a man a "Father."

Let me tell you all the things that My Mothers husband has taught me: 1. How to Drive (which I would have eventually learned myself) 2. How to ride a bike (which I love to do so naturally would have picked up on as well) and 3. Always shake after I urinate (C'Mon, that one is a given.) So why the need to air him out via the world wide web? Well I've disliked My Mothers husband for longer than I can even remember, but out of respect to My Mother and respect to the fact that I am the fruit of his loins I've pretty much, for the most part kept my severe dislike for him to myself. But it wasn't until recently that it was brought to my families attention that the fuck is a Cheater, Liar and all-round asshole deserving of nothing more than a decent funeral entitled to any and all mankind. The words out of his mouth to My Mother were and I quote: "I am tired of Edwin (my real name for those who didn't know), Rudy (my younger brother) and I'm tired of you!" Well News Flash asshole, I been tired of you for as long as I have had memory, but for you to speak those words to my mother pushed my dislike for you over the top converting it into hate! So I've always said "Yes, I have a father, but I'm still from a single parent household" but now after disowning him I say "No, I don't have a father" I'm sure many people can relate, in fact I Know a few who can. Its always been a wonder to me how a man can start a family that he's not ready for and in time grow to be tired of them. So for those in search of their father in this vast world, and for those who don't know what its like to have one, take my word for it (from MY experience) they're not all they're cracked up to be.
In fact when Anthony Hamilton said in his song "Coming From Where I'm From" that he's scared to have kids and grow up to be like his Daddy was to him, I don't think there was anyone else listening who agreed and felt those words more than I did. So if you ever hear me say "I'm not having kids" understand its just my fear speaking out, fear of becoming worse than the piece of shit man who came before me.

So if My Mothers Husband is reading this, which I'm sure he's not because it would require the basic knowledge to use a computer I'd like to say: "I'm tired of you too nigga, and the sooner you leave me and My Family, the better. I can't believe My Beautiful Mother has put up with your Bullshit for the past 23 years. I'd say more to you but I fear that any more words would cost me severe frustration that could possibly lead to breaking my phone in which I am typing this passage and care more about (my phone) than I care for you!"

To all the real Fathers in the world, like some of my uncles, friends and so on and so forth: Keep up the good work, to all those like My Mothers Husband.... God be with you, cause he and I know very well that I'm not.

First Sunday

Can the Church say Amen?

What's going on folks? I know its been a while, but I'm sure the lack of posting built anticipation. Well I'm back and I'm here with a story to tell. First of all my weekend was real coo. I came home from work to my new phone, chilled with the fellas, Danced to Buddy's music in a club after seeing a dike fight a bouncer, Took my Cuzzo Hernan to my Tattoo Shop to price his first piece (Check out his Blog to read about it--I''ll be speaking more on it later in the week) and it all came together today with an unexpected trip to Church.

Lets go back to this morning: I woke up today to the sound of my phone ringing and on the other side It was my homegirl Bebe. I was supposed to go with her to her Church for some College student event that was going down, but I couldn't make it because I had no money to travel.... so after going back to sleep I was contacted by my homie Chris (http://cfkphotography.carbonmade.com/ the amazing photographer that a lot of you already know I have been working with for a while) and he asked me to join him at an event that was happening at 4. To my surprise the event was a Youth Sermon at Calvary Baptist Church in Queens. (Shout out to my people in Queens, My 'Boobie Cat'-I miss you Baby and Kya-Where you hiding cutie?)

Now I haven't been to Church besides funeral services in YEARS, but the reason for that is a completely different story all together. So being there gave me an unexplainable feeling. But once the Sermon began I was literally moved like I never have been before. Now for those of you who have never been to a black Baptist Church, its like a concert celebrating God lol. The pastor began speaking about things and I swore he was talking to me. He mentioned such things like the youths emphasis on their "Swagger" here on earth, when its the Swag that leads to heaven that's important. This pastor gave me everything from the word of the Lord to an in-depth review of T.I.'s Latest album lol. I literally can't begin to explain how well this man preached and how much he moved me, so I wont try. I just wanted to share with you how good I felt to be in Church again. Despite the 4 hour duration of the service, The pastors Jokes, the Choirs music, and the Brooklyn Visiting congregation's children getting Light and doing the 5G's (Both heavy street dances) kept me entertained and made me think "maybe I need to come back to Church" well it was a great day, and all I could think to myself is what Mylez tells me all the time: "There's no such thing as Coincidences" I couldn't make it to Bebe's Church although I wanted to, but ended up being picked up and driven by Chris to a different Church to "work". Its almost as if I was meant to be in a Church today and that's exactly what happened.

It was a great Sermon, and a Great day, that topped off a great weekend.
Stay Tuned for more on my Weekend. I might have some Pics from Perse's Party and my homie Dirt's Girl's party.

Well Stay Up and Stay Tuned!

Past&Future Fashion (Marty McFly)

Aight so to those of you who don't know, my Top 2 favorite movies of all Time are 'The Lion King' and 'Back to the Future part II'.

Today's Post is of the ladder.
Quick Back Story: The movie released in 1989, so me being 3 years old I don't remember seeing it at the time. But by 1992 the VHS cassette had been out for 2 years or so, I was 5 and you could NOT get me to stop watching it. It was originally my uncles movie but till this day I have it because I would always cry when he tried to get it back. I used to drive my Uncle and grandmother CRAZY watching it because I'd watch it at least 3 times a day, but that's all besides the point.

The reason I wanted to Blog about it was because one thing that I've always admired about the movie was the Costume Designer's vision for the characters. Me being an aspiring fashion designer (Start and own my own clothing line) and photographer its only natural that I notice the little things as such. Marty McFly played by Michael J. Fox was the cool 17-Year-Old who hung out with "Doc" Emmet Brown played by Christopher Lloyd a scientist who built a Time Machine out of a 1983 Delorean. In the first movie they went back to the past from 1985 to 1955, but in the sequel they went to the future to the year 2015.

Upon arriving to 2015, Doc Brown suggested that Marty change into future clothes. Now you all know I'm a huge sneaker fanatic, so seeing Marty "Lace" up a modern day pair of Nikes with Power laces was something that made me wish I was already in the future so that I can buy my own pair. But the sneakers weren't all, The Red, automatic drying Jacket, which went quite well with the simple Red T-Shirt was also something that made me think: "Wow the future is gonna be so cool". Kudos to Alan Silvestri & Joanna Johnston the Costume designers responsible for the first movie and the sequel. The reason I also mention the first is because Marty's main outfit and one of the Jackets he wore in the 1955 setting of the movie were simple yet eye catching, and that's what I strive for when I get dressed, what I in vision for my own clothing line. So with all that said I Hope ya Enjoy some of these pics from the movies.

Well I Just hope that me posting this is not a jinx and that It goes back to its (now) regular state of garbage. I guess what I'm saying is I'm proud of where music is at this moment. I've complained about it being at a dying state for a while but it seems to be on its way back up. Shout outs to all mentioned and please people keep the garbage in the trash, ONLY support the real music that's out there, keep it quality, not everything that shimmers is Gold.
