      Down to Business!
    Okay hoes look'a here. I need you folks out there who have yet to register to vote, to REGISTER RIGHT NOW. It doesn't take long and you can do it online. Yeah -- online. All you do is fill out a registration form, they e-mail you the registration and you print it out, pack it in an evelope and put a juicy stamp on it and send it to where ever that shit tells you to.

    I mean really, I didn't even know I was registered -- apparently I filled something out for college back in high school and BAM I was registered. I don't know how that happened but I am. Go figure. Anywho - it took my cousin about 5 minutes to do it. I'm sure you hoes have FIVE MINUTES. If you're here, reading THIS, you got enough time in your life to fill out a damn application, print it, and put that bitch in an envelope. Really, now.

    If you don't. Don't bother looking at me, talking to me, mentioning my name, or even living anymore. You have no substance if you don't vote this year.

    Why so harsh? Because my damn parents worked too mothafucking hard to sit in the hole they are currently in now.

    I remember the days when we used to actually DO THINGS on the weekends -- go out to different events in the city and around NJ; festivals and things of that sort. Now? We can't do shit but drive to Long Island and enjoy the natural festivities that God granted the surroundings. I'm sick of sitting around, not being able to enjoy the mall or enjoy events simply because we can't afford it. We have to worry about putting gas in the car or getting groceries, and all that nonsense. Things were so liveable before Bush decided to play God.

    Right before 9/11 my parents booked a vacation to Cozumel, Mexico for the WHOLE family. We went in March 2001 and I was 12. The next year was hell. Each year since, has gotten worse. I used to be able to afford concerts -- for those who know me, know concerts are a passion of mine -- I went to the VMAs in 2003 because my parents had a surplus from a job my father did and decided that'd be my Christmas present. They spent $375 for the three of us to go. The last concert I went to -- I didn't even pay for. I saw Destiny's Child in 2005 and my father's friend paid for me, mother, and his daughter to go. I would'nt have seen that concert if he hadn't done that. It's been 3 years since. I passed up Beyonce & Robin Thicke, Alicia Keys, too many people.

    I mean, I'm just sick of it. I am shelling out money, that I shouldn't feel guilty for spending because it's my own hard earned money, to go see Janet Jackson next week.

    The point is, people should'nt live this way. This is America. If people work, hard and honest jobs, they should be able to live comfortably. They should'nt feel guilty when they decide they'd like to enjoy their earnings once in awhile. I honestly, feel guilty for spending this money when I know I could save it and put a couple tanks of gas in my car -- or pay off more on my car next month. But fuck it. I'm not going to put myself through hell, to enjoy myself.

    That's why you should vote. So, we don't have to live like this anymore. The honest, hard-working Americans of this country deserve better.

    BA-ROCK THE VOTE!
