Juss a matter of time....

It was juss a matter of time b4 these made it on here. If you are late (like this blog) Kanye West has collaborated with the minds at Louis Vuitton and created a series of footwear. Each shoe is named after friends of Kanye which gives us the Don's, the Mr. Hudson's and the Jasper's. The kicks run from $840 to $1140.

The shoes for the most part are dope. I juss cant drop that kind of cash on sneakers... AND YOU SHOULDNT EITHER!! I would hate for college students across the world to go and blow half if not ALL of their refund on kicks. Look, when I see you, Im not gonna think you ballin, Im juss gonna think u make bad decisions... Ladies if u see an average dude wit some of these on, that man is BROKE or simple!!!...lol

I wanna have a job pullin in 6 to 7 figures b4 I can ever say that I dropped a stack on my kicks..

Oh, If you didnt know about these already, which I doubt, I juss put you on...

Update on the Johnta blasphemy...

Ok so Johnta Austin got some angry reviews on youtube about his new song "Making Love with God" so he commented back (see blog vid below or click here to see Johnta comments).

I must say he cleared up the concept of the song considerably. He made some good points that I can understand. READ HIS RESPONSE PPL here. He is "swat2812"

I would say that one of my reservations with the song was that if he had mentioned that the sex was within a marriage, then it MAY have been aite... Well, in his rebuttal he says that he meant juss that. Ok...Cool. You will just have to excuse me for not thinking that was the case, in that "marriage" was NOT mentioned in the song... at least the snippet that he gave us.

This is the thing about artists and their music. Actually, this is why music can be dangerous. An artist may make a song thats purely and truly is about getting kids to do drugs. I mean, no beating around the bush, they are plainly wanting kids to do drugs. The song may even be titled "Kids Need to be Doing these drugs, Mayne!"lol. After they catch heat for the track they turn around in an interview and say thats not what they meant. Usually, they meant it to be some convoluted metaphor for world hunger and the genocide in Sudan lol. If all we here in the song is "baby wanna pipe, Im sellin dope on the playGROUND!" lol then wut else are we going to think?!! At the end of the day, I am playing the SONG over and over again, not your righteous explanation.

Not saying there cannot be depth in music, cuz some of the best songs are metaphorical and utilize complex lyrical techniques to convey a deeper meaning. But when it comes to GOD, I would say its best to be plain, brah!

-Ono

P.S. We all watched the video! You recorded it naked... c'mon man. You were just having fun and you know it! Spare us the justification, cuz I cant take you seriously...

its not like im not grateful...

Today, my father has set up an appointment for me to visit with the dean of a local law school (the one he went to). No biggie, I appreciate the look. My only problem is that I dont want to get into school THIS way... Nothing is promised, but we'll see what happens. I dont think ANYONE should get their hopes up, cuz only the Lord know what events may transpire...mtg is at 2 if you wana get ur pray on...

-Ono

lets talk recession, everybody else is...

Let me fill u in on my current situation. I am done with undergrad and i am aspiring for law school. In the mean time I'm back in d H trying to find an occupation that will 1) support me (and my party habit. jk)financially, and 2) allow me to gain some experience in the legal/political realm. By God's grace it will be back to school next year around this time...THATS THE PLAN.

Now, my job hunt has been interesting to say the least. I have GREAT contacts in high places and I have visited with a number of people that SHOULD be able to find a place for me. I cant tell you how many lame jokes i have told or how many war stories I've heard of how someone has reached there position. All, to no avail. Its not like I'm getting a whole bunch of No's, as if I am not qualified, its juss I keep hearing the same thing... "well ya know, with this recession and all..."

Look, people this recession is very real. All those outside of Healthcare and IT are really suffering. I believe that it cannot be this way forever and will eventually get better, ALOT better (especially with a president that is not afraid to throw money at the problem.lol). Right now, although, its hard for ppl to find good paying jobs, just as it is hard for ppl to hire good workers for their businesses.

Today I attended a job fair in the Galleria in the Westin Hotel. Never really been to one b4, but I wasn't surprised at what I saw. I could not benefit from it as much as others prolly could, juss because of the simple fact that most of the companies represented were in banking and sales... Anyway, the point of the story is that the event was supposed to prove that "Houston is still hiring". Now, i dont know the numbers, but it was said over and over today that Houston has been hit the least by the recession, and that may certainly be the case. Although, I cannot help but wonder if ANYONE form this event after waiting in long lines to meet with a business rep who has seen 100 ppl close if not similar to you, will actually get a call back...

Dont worry, i cooperated... shoot, I'm tryna get paid! lol. But still. i am not expecting anything from it.

Was everybody in that room just in denial? Could those companies REALLY provide a job for everyone? or was it juss another opportunity to show that their business cares... I dunno.

SO... i did some research. Come to find out, that forbes named Houston the number 1 "recession-proof" city followed by San antonio and Dallas, respectively... WELL, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! lol

good night yall... I think.

-Ono

chea!

Fam peeped this and said she thought it was me , like I would wear it...

Sooooo, there is a popular series on youtube following the lives of the supergroup Ocean 7( Brian Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Johnta Austin,...wutev). Its called "Living the Life". Goes without saying, but these guys are DUMB talented and usually crank out good music. Their episodes are quite entertaining... ANYWAY,

My man Johnta, an up and coming producer/songwiter/singer recently finished a song entitled "Making Love with God".... Boom. lol

Please watch the vid...

I was a lil disturbed...eh, very disturbed at the whole idea. I cannot be the greatest christian, and in no way am I passin judgement, but my homie, my potna, my nucca, my brother in Christ, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!! lol

Mattress Mac fire not an accident!!!

http://www.theeagle.com/texas/-Mattress-Mack--fire-no-accident

officials are saying that the infamous mattress mack fire was arson! read the article.

I cant say i didnt think something was up. Growing up I have heard every rumor about that business from drugs in the mattresses to him running a prostitute ring on the side. I was actually on I-45 when Gallery Furniture was burning down, and honestly i couldnt believe it!

I mean, I hope that this isn't true, but like I said, I cant say I didnt see it coming!

shotout to @MroyPR for puttin me on...

Word is she is cultivating a publishing company (Chain Breaking Publications) that will be featuring her first book entitled "The Growing Seed". The book is her personal memoir about her journey as a young woman to finally accepting Jesus Christ in her life.

She's inviting all ladies (and men too) to her book signing event.

Be free..

So i finally did it... believe it or not this whole blog thing has been a thought of mine for a minute. I believe my sudden increase in free time is what pushed me over the edge... But ya

FREE TO THE RIGHT!!!

The term was coined by me a few years ago. It comes from a lame philosophy that i came up with to describe my surroundings. Though i was in college, i think it can be applied to any environment u may find urself in.

So... People align themselves along a linear spectrum with the extreme ends being "FREEDOM". All those in between represent CAPTIVITY... So the three general groups we are left with are those that are "free to the left" , those who are stuck in captivity, and those who are "free to the RIGHT"...

Now, the captive are a helpless bunch that have been programmed to think that true freedom resides on the LEFT; where all those considered "cool" people by affiliation are grouped. Believing this they lose themselves in trying to impress and be more like the free that they admire. Some will attain freedom by way of the Left, but it is usually extremely difficult, requiring sacrifice of some sort.

Dont get me wrong, its cool being free to the left. They usually are thrusted into popularity, they run things, and enjoy many other perks. I would say that they're only draw back is that they often time do not think for themselves, rather they suffer from the plague that is "groupthink" (look it up).

Ok, so wuts free to the RIGHT all about? These are those people that have managed to escape captivity, by simply not caring... not caring about what the crowd is going to think; not caring about staying within the safe parameters that those that are free to the left have put in place; not caring about offending anyone, just by being you. Really, if you are free to the RIGHT, you dont even care about your position on the spectrum!

So I and all those that wish to be, are FREE TO THE RIGHT!! Free to think the way we wanna think, dress the way we wanna dress, and listen to wut u wanna listen to... Hopefully this blog will demonstrate just that.

***disclaimer***

The philosophy isnt full proof. I understand that people could never be as 1-dimensional as i am portraying them to be, so do not take my perspective as gospel. lol. Its juss an interesting way to look at life (and it makes for a pretty good blog title). Im sure ppl can be free2dleft and the right! Or in captivity, with RIGHT tendencies... lol. I dont know, its all love at the end of the day, and I juss want ppl to be individuals!! -Ono
