"Time"

Time
Do you have it?
Not hours and minutes
but the infinite occurance of past, present & future
Time is neither mine nor yours
Time we are yours
So don't tell me we have all the time in the world.
Live the day to the fullest
Not as if you have tomorrow to make it up.
Live for the moment
(Like you own it)

Our most valuable resource wasted,
Wasted on the past, not living in the present and formulating the future.

If you could just look past the past by putting your past in the past
Live each day to its full potential granted second chances are rare to come by but we're given a fresh start in life everyday
makes the uncertain gift of the future a little more clearer
day by day.

HOE [the double standard]

Here's my point of view on the matter.
Ladies, you complain about them
BUT I really don't SEE or UNDERSTAND WHY?

Christina Aguilera really explains in her song, "Can't Hold Us Down" feat. Lil Kim

"if you look back in history
its a common double standared of society.
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
while the girl can do the same but yet you call her a whore.
I don't understand why its okay
the guy can get away with it, the girl gets named." -Xtina

True.
This has been an issue throughout time.
The more girls the dude gets the more of the man homie is.

"Here's something I just cant understand,
if a guy have 3 girls then he's the man.
He can even give her some head or sex her off
but if a girl do the same then shes a whore." -Lil Kim

The lyrics are blunt & abrasive but the truth usually is
and I agree with it [and the lyrics] 100%
Offended?
Well you shouldn't be you see...
I have higher standards for women.
Having hoes is more of man thing!
WOMEN should be ladies and know better that to be treated as such and to even do the same because I feel you should/can/will do better.
Don't get me wrong men shouldn't treat women that way from the beginning but with females on the receiving end or enacting the in such behavior it doesn't make me think you any better of you.

Food for thought,
Michael.

My 2 Cents (Advice...)

Take my advice; I'm not using it anyways...

Well in actuality, you should.

My 2 cent is 2 cent well earn and should be taken with much consideration.
I say this not in conceit or cockiness because that's I'm definitely NOT but because I care enough to give it to you and not see you fail or lose your way. And regardless if you consider me a friend, if I consider you a friend of mine I will honestly do whatever it take to see you make it and never see you cry, hurt or mad.

I realize I give out wise, sound and understanding advice out to friends & family (as I've been told). I know it's because I truly naturally am a nice guy and hate seeing people doing bad & distraught. I genuinely love to see people doing good and thriving on their own 2 feet, making something of themselves.

I know no matter what you're going through there's someone out there who wishes they could walk in your shoes.

So it kills me to see individuals I honestly care about pain, sad, etc. and if as cliche as it sounds I would do anything to turn the frown upside. I've always been the big brother with friends and fam always looking out for everyone and it truly comes from the heart. So know if my words hurt it's 'cause they're a bit blunt but its 'cause I care. And if I'm there for you when you're down or at your lowest then you can rest assure I'll be there when you're feeling good and at your greatest!

Yet I know some people would only listen to me if I was a mp3...

#MusicMonday: Dev feat. The Cataracs - "Bass Down Low"

Dev feat. The Cataracs - "Bass Down Low"


"If you want to get with me there's some things you gotta know...
I like my beats fast & my BASS DOWN LOW"

Originally, "Bass Down Low" was The Cataracs' track
but I guess they gave it to DEV
and either way its still a smash
CERTIFIED straight club banger
[Although I prefer the Cataracs' verison better]

"I'm like 1, 2, 3 Okay! Can I get a little Goose in my OJ?
Eryday like my birthday and we sip champagne when we thirstay."

the moving panoramic part right before the chorus is so SICK!
the fashion
SWAG!
[like @DEVisHot likes to tweet]
the whole party aspect
the all female chest poppin' scene
just dope.

Let me get in & be a part of something like that, Dev
straight gutta
that's why I luv DEV

She got some hot lines
but again I have to post
the Cataracs' verion

Cyrano's captain swag & Campa's jacket
[I want to jack]

"Homegirl all on me like a magnet
talkin' bout "I don't give it up that quick."
Huh? like we ain't heard that shit...
She a freak like a cover on a mattress."

it's the Cataracs

I suffer from...

An overactive mind,
a heavy heart
I get too far ahead of myself
and I tend to forget about myself
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
I got it right but it was all a dream.

My thoughts run a million miles per hour
Sometimes in life I feel devoured
My soul's gone awry
My body ain't alright
I'm running on E due to no sleep.

I know if my mind, heart, body & soul ain't in it,
I'm not in it to win it.

You can't buy time and I'm just waiting on mine.

So I grind until it's my time to shine.

Pandora.

This semester's study sessions have been provided by none other than

[internet radio]
I just log on & turn it up

Homework gets done to Pandora.

Favorite Station:

Mutya Buena

Soul, Blues, R&B, Soul, Jazz

#MusicMonday: Dev - "Booty Bounce"

Dev - "Booty Bounce"


I've been listening to this joint for while now so here she is...

Dev,
most known for singing the chorus to
Far East Movement's smash hit single Like A G6.
The chorus is not ONLY sung by Dev but
the chorus is from her single
"Booty Bounce"
She was first picked up by the group The Cataracs,
after recording and touring with Cyrano + Campa of the Cataracs
it was only a matter of time before Dev got a record deal of her own.



"DJ put that record on that's my song, that's my shit!
Poppin' Henny XO all these hoes on my dick."

Dope ass shit
if I do say so myself

Shoutout to Hellz Bellz
[for the fashion]

So glad fly music: beats & lyrics are back in business

is nothing short of a monster track
in recruiting some of the music industry's heavy hitters
Ricky Rozay, Minaj & Jigga
(no pun intended - Rick Ross)

Everyone did the damn thang on the joint
except I have to say the breakout verse on the song
is....

barbie bitch

NICKI MINAJ



Leader of the Barbie Nation destroyed
haters & naysayers
her crazy ass flow slayed!
truly complementing the track!!!
NOT a 100% Minaj fan but I gotta give mad props to her for this accomplishment.

here's a fan made video

crazy sick accurate impersonation

"AHHHHHHHHH I'M A MOTHAFUCKIN' MONSTAH!"

#MusicMonday: Diddy Money feat. Drake - "Loving You No More"

Diddy Money feat. Drake - "Loving You No More"

madd kudos for this collabo
Dirty Money x Drake
real lowkey beat & feel
real dramatic especially with the piano strokes
like a break up that must happen
but can't simply 'cause of the love that remains
Heartbreak, heartache & the love won't break
"Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself"

just... if you've been there you can relate.

I'm just a big Dirty Money Crew fan
I'm so boarding that Last Train To Paris.

-------

Speaking of the devil Diddy...
Diddy has made plenty groups in his day
Da Band
Dream
O-Town
Day26 + Donnie Klang

but no other Diddy disappointment disappoints like Danity Kane.
hearing Dawn on this joint takes me back to the days of DK
this track is so reminiscent to something the girls
would do like "Ride For You" or "He Can't Love You"
I still be missing them...
Danity Kane
[Shannon, Aundrea, D.Woods, Aubrey & Dawn]

I heart HATER

This phrase is my #petpeeve

this little hip-hop motto
has seemed to spread like wildfire into the mouths of the masses.
I just don't get it. Why people are focusing so much of your time, money, energy and efforts into someone you "hate" ? It's pointless to me. Nonsensical.
You giving them way too much credit and lead way for them to do what they do best (which is hate). I understand they "motivate you" and all... but you ain't constantly gotta let that be known to the world. People talk about haters like they ain't got anything else to do. Like they run their lives and if that's the case you need a reality check because YOU letting them RUN your life which means you ain't doing shit for haters to hate on. Plus, I'm sure most of these so called "haters" are a figment of your imagination 'cause unless your talked about or hated to the point where you can't live your life #HoeSitDown. Especially if you're the type that need to trash talk others (the haters) to feel better about themselves. You yourself are a hater with absolutely nothing good to say. With all that BS that spews out your mouth... I ultimately could careless about shit that don't concern me.

Don't hate,
Mikeman

First WEEK of School

I started school August 23
rough first week back
I'm taking...
ACCOUNTING 230 / 240
MATH 212
COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS 105

First day is always filled with boring syllabus talk as the professor blabs on about class expectations, student requirements, etc --- crickets were head campusewide it was so boring.

Classes
ACCOUNTING was something familiar for me as a business major. I'm taking an 8 week class for both ACC 230 & 240 to get it all over with. After the syllabus chatter we got straight to work since its a 2hr class. Straight to the point which is why I like this class despite me disliking accounting haha this class should be executed swiftly & deadly! (Even though accounting isn't my strong point...)& having this class at 8 is tiring since I'm still in sleep mode. Nonetheless, accounting is an evil I must conquer to acquire an Associates degree in Business.

MATH bores me. I don't like math. Never did but I still put in the necessary work to make the grades I want in the subject. Hoping for the same with this class in Calculus.

CIS (Computer Information Systems) feels like Computers 101 so far... don't know much about the this class since we haven't done much but that's all a matter of time until I'm drowning in CIS work. Until then this class is so boring I almost fall asleep everyday in this class.

So that was my first week of school.
One more semester after this then AA,
Mikeman

My life...

Awhile ago I had a good long and deep talk with my mom.
It was about my education: my schooling & career.
I needed refocus or guidance in my life. I was truly at a lost or standstill
as for what I wanted, what I was doing or where I was going with my education. I know I was on [the right] track but I was unsure of what track I indeed was on. But after the 3 hours talk I can confidently say despite my setbacks and mess ups...

I will be. . .

Graduating from Glendale Community College
with an Associates Degree in Business
in 2011


Then I will be. . .

Graduating from Arizona State University
with a Bachelor's Degree in ________

[Technically, I'm not exactly sure of what I want to major and minor in.
I know I want to study marketing as my focus in business and that I want to double minor in French & Spanish or minor or double major in Liberal Arts. I have a year to figure this all
but I'm beyond happy to know I've came up with this idea]

Bachelor Degree bound,
Michael.

#MusicMonday: Cuban Link feat. P!NK - "Play How You Want"

Cuban Link feat. P!NK - "Play How You Want"

an old song
back when P!NK first came out on the scene and did r&b
back when Cuban Link rapped with Terror Squad.
Still a huge fan of rebel ass PINK
IDK what happened to Cuban Link
this used to be one of my favorite song
never knew of P!NK could get on a song with a little Latin vibe
just a hot little song from my past
off of Cuban Link's unreleased album 24K back in 2000
haha...

"Its Pink and Cuban Link.
This is the club with a Latin swing.
So if ya wit' it baby
Blaze up a blunt
Drink till your drunk
Ain't no rules where we're from.
Do your thing, Play how you want
Its Pink and Cuban Link
Cause he be shinin' like a diamond ring.
Now we be bringin' it straight from the Bronx
Drinkin Dom Pérignon
Till six in the mornin'
There's a party goin on!"
