I get annoyed when people are like…….. “Oh, you live in Queens….I thought u had a half decent job…….Maybe when U make more money you will move into Manhattan”.

I just thought I would put this out there, cus I hear it too often………..

New York City is made up of 5 counties, which are also called Boroughs. Those 5 Boroughs/counties , Bronx/Bronx County, Brooklyn/Kings County, Manhattan/New York County, Staten Island/Richmond County, Queens/ Queens County, are just like any other county in the United States!

You have good parts and bad parts, granted per capita there are more rich people in New York County (aka Manhattan) than there are In Kings County (aka Brooklyn), but there are also many, many, many bad parts in Manhattan just like any other county in the United States………..

End of the day its all New York, where a One Bedroom in a bad part of Queens, will cost u $800.00 as opposed to the 2, 3 or 400 in Texas………..

I have had people come here and say, “Oh Queens is not that bad”. I think that’s so retarded, that’s like going to South Beach in Miami Dade county and saying” Miami is not that bad”. If I took them to Lil Haiti, or Overtown in Miami, which is the ghetto out there, they would say this part of Miami is bad. That will not make the whole of Miami Dade county bad. Same with any borough in New York City, There are Good Parts and Bad parts…

I love Eddie Murphy but I hate the movie “Coming to America”. I don’t like the way it makes Africans look naive and backward. Which is a Stereo type the general populace here endorses of Africans. Now that I live in Queens, I hate the flick even more, cus much like how anyone that has never been to Africa, thinks Africans act like the way they do in that movie, they think people that live in the outer boroughs are struggling (like how it is in that movie).

I know it’s a movie, its comedy. But like how I tell my New Yorker friends, come to Africa, and ill show you how off ur train of thought is… To my African Friends that have never been to Queens, Brooklyn, Staten or the Bronx come to New York and I will show you how off u are too….

Simple Simple man.....

Earlier.....

Watching the Knicks almost beat the Pistons on TV I heard one of the presenters, Walt Frasier use the word "vociferous".

I was so intrigued that I looked the word up and now I am going to try my hardest to use it in a sentence tomorrow.

I might even do something "vociferously", just so that I can use it in a sentence*.

Dear New York

I Love You...!


I know it would be cheaper and life easier living in any other American city, (considering id get paid the same).
I love u Almost to a fault.

I love ur people, ur music, ur streets ur buildings and ur neighbourhoods (Even Brooklyn). I almost disowned a close friend when she blasphemously said that London TOWN was more culturaly diverse than you!!! I love u that much...

I think I came into my own here.

Through ur music I grew up here, I already knew about the Bronx/Boogie Down, Brooklyn/Crooklyn, Manhattan, Staten/Shaolin and Queens before I even set foot.

There is no judging here, people that live in Brooklyn talk diffrently from people In Queens, or the Bronx. I like the way u treat people that grew up in Virginia and people that grew up in Africa the same, untill U incorporate them and make them natives!


I Know people that have moved out and moved back! I know people that are too scared to try you.

Me and you know that, you have to walk the walk, and talk the talk, New York, New York to understand.....

Dear Summer

I know Jay- Z did a song about you, but that was almost 2/3 years ago tho.

Truth be told I fell in love with you back in Miami, where it’s pretty much summer all year long.

I'm looking forward to you this summer. I have been cold, and bitter, and been discouraged from going out a lot during winter.

I have friends coming to visit and friends moving into NY.

I think I am a little less of an African man because I haven't been to a barbecue for a while now. Now that you are here, I am going to crash as many as possible this summer.

I am going to play as much ball as I can, and go to as many concerts as possible.

Summer I'm happy you have come back to me!!!!!!!

Jus one more Day

I’m in a good mood today!

I gave up coffee and energy drinks for lent, I get an adrenalin rush just thinking about how I’m gna fill myself up with redbull and my beloved/hated starbucks on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Good Friday, gna try my hardest to not to eat meat. I have been eating rabbit food for the two last weeks on my detox (which finishes tonight); I think I can go all out for one more day!
