Shootin the Ishh: Jayme's Rhymes and Ramblings

Mr. E, BLUFIZZ, and Fran Boogie present:

GRAND PUBA & LORD JAMAR LIVE AT 111 MINNA
AUGUST 1, 2009

This is one show you do not want to miss! Check the promo for details.

In the process of getting to where you want to be in life, I'm sure people come across thousands of self-help books, quotes, advice, etc. that are published to inspire them. I know that I am one of those people.

What I've come to notice is that, sure - they make valid points...but how many of those publications really relate to my specific journey? A lot of them are just compilations of big complicated words that ramble on about things that go straight over my head, around the corner through one ear and out the other. Nothing has ever stuck like the wise ole words of Jay-Z.

Blinded by the sky beyond the clouds
scream out silent sounds
somethin is creepin with meaning so profound
i want to stare until its figure is found
as it reveals it steals me away from reality biting
senselessly nervous resort to nailbiting
though exciting i act as i look through the shaded window
tainted by the combination of dust and rain, i look again
i gain the ability to tear apart the gray
pull each shadow by its end
and make the sunshine my friend
inch by inch it unlocks its colors
while falling leaves stab me in the eye
i cry
but tears of stunned reaction
i lift up my hands in distraction
catch them as they fall with no direction
i see my reflection in the glare of his sunglasses
sweet as black cherry molasses
i squint and salute my eyebrows to glimpse what the sun brought in
the figure awaited/anticipated/and again
i see myself in the glare
i stare and watch the sparkle of my eye
die with one wisp of your soft thumb
im numb.
knees shaking as i fall to the ground and you catch me
enwrapped me/grasped me from my declining presence
your essence is now my savior
illuminate behavior that keeps life to stay pure.

For those who don't know... when you walk into my bedroom, one of the first things that you'll notice is how my purple painted walls and subtle purple and brown accents create a sense of calmness and serenity. As you walk further inside and pass the chocolate brown curtains, you'll come to what looks like a brick wall. In actuality, what some may think is a brick wall, is my neatly stacked collection of PUMA shoe boxes (all labeled with which shoes it contains, of course). Needless to say...I'd really like to purchase these purple and white PUMA hi-tops. *sigh*

Irresponsible Jayme says..."my gub'ment check comes this week and a mere $60 to buy these shoes won't hurt that bad! I mean, it is on SALE and its FREE to ship! :)"

Responsible Jayme says..."i don't NEED a new pair of shoes because I already own a pair of purple Adidas kicks. Not to mention a business, a car note, insurance, mortgage, rent, bills, a dog, and a girl needs to eat and be clean (meaning food and toiletries)!"

Who reigns supreme in this battle? Responsible Jayme. To that, I reiterate the title to this post..."DAMN this unemployed hole I'm in!"

LIVE in concert will be: The Musonics, along with guest performers APlus, G-Dove, and Shawnie Bo. Come out and enjoy a good ol’ Bay Area summer night filled with good music, good vibes as well as Butter B and Big Von on the 1’s and 2’s!
