My girl's down the block right now signing autographs at H&M on 51st and 5th. We're going to have a long talk about this tour when she's done.
I don't really trust Kanye. He might bring out my twin brother Chris Breezy on some dates.
But between me and you, I'ma hit the streets while she's gone. There's a lot of other woman who need my undivided lightskin attention, love and care. Like:
Daily Regiment 1 Win. 6 Loss Overall Record: 15-12
I felt like the Miami Heat last week. My team hasn't been playing up to their potential and it starts in the locker room. But unlike Pat Riley, I've made a few changes.
What's to blame for all the losses is "activity vs accomplishment". When I write out my lists at the end of the night, it's based solely on accomplishments. I found myself being too "active".
But this week I'm making big announcement.
World Tour In Indianapolis Monday I linked up with my man DJ Wrekk One. Wrekk, Travis (Neako's manager) and I really got a chance to build about the project. But after we left the radio station, it was good night Irene. That city is dead on a Monday.
We got in the first thing smoking and hit Chi-Town. The home of Obama, Oprah, Kanye and the guy who this post is named after. Had a deep dish at Gordano's.
I like Chicago. It reminds me of NYC. But unlike Gotham City, it has a culture that's still all it's own. I drove through every neighborhood, every side. It's def a place I have to go for like a week.
Poker Got some Gucci playing cards for Christmas. So I whip them out and play poker against friends, associates and complete strangers at every opportunity. Here's some footage against "Balkan Beats" in the Chicago Sheraton. All in with a 4 of diamonds and 9 of hearts:
Movies Rambo = The Worst Movie Of 2008. Why? -Enemy has a machine gun? Rambo has his bow and arrow. Grenades? Bow and arrow. Time to go fishing in the river? Bow and arrow. Rocket launchers? Grenades? No, Rambo just needs a bow and arrow to take all that shit on. GTFOH -Every woman in the movie is savagely raped except for the star white American woman. GTFOH -It really should be called "Rambo: Sucker For Love". He kills about 400 natives, rides a boat 10 miles upstream and gets shot all over some chick who doesn't even give him a peck on the cheek. He's not being patriotic or fight for honor. It's all over some broad.
I took these DVDs on the road with me: Godfather, Godfather II, aforementionedDonnie Brasco and Reservoir Dogs, The Firm and Lord Of War.

This is why you become a fan. This is the biggest single-season redemption I've ever witnessed and I've been a rabid sports fan for four decades. Even the Knicks' run to the NBA finals in 1999 was not as big a comeback story as the 2007-08 Giants. The Giants have a much better shot to win it all than the Knicks did.

A good entry to read by Seth Godin on your corporate takeover mission. Do you just go to work or are you a "workaholic"? If the blogging on vacation means you're a workaholic, then I'm guilty as charged.
Thursday - New York Friday - Buffalo Saturday - Cleveland Sunday - Cincinnati Monday - Indianapolis Tuesday - Chicago Wednesday - New York Thursday - New York Friday - Miami Saturday - Miami
Why you ask? Meeting with DJs of course. Records don't get broken by themselves. If I'm in your city, please give me a shout.
My Knicks Jacket (3 In A Row!!!) Cigar Case Thug Motivation 101, The Inspiration, Can't Ban The Snowman & Trap Or Die 10 White Brooks Brothers Oxford Shirts 11 Pairs of Sneakers
What are some of the sites to see in these cities? Anything I should be looking out for? People I should meet? Artists/Producers to see? Let a brother know.
I've been tagged by Necole Bitchie to share 7 details about my life. Then I have to tag 7 other bloggers to do the same thing. The whole thing is very gay. But I like the calling other people out part.
Rules: Simply link to the person who has tagged you, share seven weird things about yourself, tag seven bloggers to do the same and include a link to their blog, let each person know that they have been tagged and finally post the rules on your blog.
1. I'm A Lush During the day, I'm a mild mannered Trinidadian-American who sips tangerine frappachinos and wears funny hats (like today). But at night, I secretly go to clubs, drinks bottles, get twisted out of my mind and dub on everyone (pause)!
2. Shyne is one of my all-time favorite rappers
He's not lyrical. He raps about sniffing coke. And he put out two pretty average albums. But his voice, cockiness, bravado and overall cooless (pause to this whole sentence) made him one of my favorites. I bought both Shyne and Godfather Buried Alive. Whenever he comes out of jail, he has a deal as long as I still have signing power. And if I didn't, I would just make him re-famous.
3. Wanna Make Me Mad? Put DJ Sickamore or Sycamore It makes me violently angry to the point I want to stab a intern to death. I get mad at everyone but Necole. It's impossible to get mad at her SEXY self.
4. Walker Not A Talker I like to walk for hours on end and observe people. I usually just slip on my iPod, press play on a audiobook (currently listening to Getting Things Done) and notice trends/women/cars/stupid people/restaurants/fashion. You'd be surprised who you bump into and what you learn about life doing this.
5. It took me 2 1/2 hours on and off to write this blog
6. The Rihanna Obsession It started off as a joke. Now I really search for these pics and get excited when the music comes on. A mutual friend showed her the blog and she asked if I was paparazzi.
7. Hate Cats But this is my favorite commercial ever
My Personal Review Of The Last 7 Days (1/7 - 1/13)
Favorite Quote "If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself."
Bunch of big things popped and little things stopped this week. I'm really starting to balance this "family and friends vs work" thing. When you write everything down, it shows how proportionate (or disproportionate) your priorities really are. Happy birthday Tracy, Candy, Mel and Monica! Congrads to my big sister on getting married. My friend is recovering quickly from rehab. I even got to have a conversation with my mother and my father together. We took a picture. Only our second picture together in 23 years. The first one I was about 6 months old.
Preparation In the "What I've Learned" blog, I said that "it’s scary how one bad decision can last the rest of your life". Tony Romo is that quote personified. He was in Cabo instead of studying game film and made no excuses about it. Now a guy who's making $11 million annually, going to the pro bowl and dating a superstar singer will be remembered this off season (and until he wins a playoff game) as a choker. Moral of the story? Go to Cabo AFTER you win.
So for the next 32 days, there will be no drinking or partying for me. Got some big plans that I need to prepare for. All the holidays and birthdays are out the way. No Romo here.
Fantasy Basketball I know I promised not to check it until today, but I couldn't help myself. I'm addicted. And it's gotten to the point where I Can Make You Second and Ralph don't even write me back. They're losing that bad. It's no fun when the rabbit has a gun, is it?

Another slaughter 2night. I'm going to continue helping you guys until somebody cuts the lead under 400 points. Let's start with trading the following people 2night:
CJ Miles - I don't care if he's starting. He sucks. And worse, his name is CJ. What is he 12?
Sebastian Telfair - For the love of god! Why do you guys refuse to trade him? Do you need him to get another gun charge before you make a move?
Francisco Garcia - What's up with Ralph picking these wack players with gay ass names? Francisco? Sebastian? CJ? Jamario? I see a trend
Jamario Moon - Hahahahahahaha! Bought em to make $ and backfired like crazy
Bonzi Wells - How do you pick up a Tracy Mcgrady replacement who doesn't even start?!
James Jones - This makes as much sense as the Knicks picking Fredrick Weis a few years back. The Blazers barely even play!
Yi Jianlian - See Jamario

"If I spent the same amount of time on fantasy basketball, I'd be #1 too"
That's the excuse that gets you to sleep at night. Truth is, if both of you quit your job, moved to West Virginia with Phil Jackson and only League Pass, ESPN and a MacBook to work on Fantasy Basketball 18 hours a day, I'd still be #1.
Because I'm just better. I'm the iPod, you're the Zune. I'm Goldman Sachs, you're Citigroup. I'm a blackberry, you're a sidekick. I'm the Giants, you're the Cowboys. I'm Godfather 1 + 2, you're Godfather 3. I'm Esquire, you're Details.

*19 year old Sick circa 2004 @ Club Spirit. Sidekick 1 Status
I remember this night. It was Saigon, me and like 1 other person vs 50 Queensbridge guys. 2004. Good times! Read the whole article on allhiphop
So Alchemist’s brother had a birthday party after that at a bar, a little private function. Me and my man, I had this big ass nine on my waist. I always keep a gun on me. I’m just chilling, I ain’t starting no problems with nobody, it’s my man’s birthday, we chilling. Who come up in the club, Saigon. He sees us and comes straight to me. “Yo P, I love Mobb Deep son, it ain’t no problem son, I was bugging, I don’t know what I was thinking about. I love Mobb Deep, it’s nothing.” I’m looking at this n****, You know what son, I’ve said some crazy s**t in my life before, don’t even sweat it. He’s like, Nah, you don’t understand, I’m a fan. I’m like, It’s aight son, don’t even stress it. He keep going on son, and my man said, “Shut the f*** up yo.” He stopped and looked at my man, he just walked out the club. That s**t was funny son (laughs). That was the funniest s**t ever, I’m surprised Saigon didn’t start laughing. But he just walked outside the club. So I said We can’t let him walk out the club like that, now we got to follow him like what the f*** you going to get.
Now we go outside and I hear my man arguing like f*** that, they arguing back and forth. I’m telling him, I’m pushing son like yo forget it, telling my man to forget it. Now I walk away from these n****s, like these n****s bugging. All the time I had the hammer on my waist like I said, but I’m not even thinking about that. I’m just chilling letting these ni***s argue. So I’m like come on, so my man comes and we walking off. Now there were popping more s**t now, it was somebody else with him, I think DJ Sickamore or some other people and then they were amping him up a little bit. So I walked over to Saigon, I walked close to him. I’m like son look, forget it about son, forget about it. He’s like “Nah your man bugging.” His arms are swinging close to where my sh*t is at. So I kind of grabbed his arm and let him touch that s**t like, Son go home. I’m not even like that, I don’t even get down like that. I carry a gun for self defense, if I see it’s going to be a problem then it’s going to be a problem. When I see this n**** it’s not a problem.
This isn't fair anymore. My team's worth 7 million more than the second place guy. And this week is going to be a slaughter. I made 3 trades that make the Patriots look like a junior high cheer leading squad. The brothers in my league don't stand a chance. There will be blood.
But I had an epiphany today. Someone asked me if I'm still in 1st place. I said yes by 680 points. They go "Oh my god! Why are you even still playing? I can't fun to be winning by that much!".
She's wrong about the fun, because it brings be great joy to torture and taunt these guys. But why am I still playing? What am I going to do, win by 1000? There must be better ways to spend my time. It's like Jordan after his 3rd championship.
That being said, I vow not to look at fantasy basketball until Monday. All my players have 4 or more games this week. All are putting up gaudy numbers. I really don't need to monitor my team closely.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to still watch sports. Though when the urge comes to look at the site, I'll just do something else that's more constructive. Maybe finish John Gotti's biography Mob Star, re-read Audacity Of Hope or start Millionaire Traders. Work on my business plan. Make some extra producer phone calls or respond back to the bottomless pit of myspace messages. This will dramatically increase my real life "win/lose" ratio.
Maybe the guys will even catch up a little. Get the score underneath 400. They always swagger jack my players anyway, so I'll give 'em a sneak peak at my starting line-up.
