Jacki from the Block

"Police are looking for the person who shot two women in Brooklyn, killing one and sending the other to the hospital.

Police say it happened around 12:45 p.m. at Jerome Street and Linden Boulevard in East New York.

Police sources identify the fatal shooting victim as Janette Martinez, 22.

Keila Ocasio, 20, was wounded.

Investigators say they were shot in the head.

Sources say the women were taken to Brookdale Hospital where Martinez was pronounced dead on arrival.

A hospital official says Ocasio is in critical condition.

Police sources believe the shooting may have been a result of an earlier fight involving Martinez and another woman."


That happened 4 blocks from my house. In broad daylight. To people younger than me. And some have the balls to question my issues with travelling alone at night. fuckin incredible.

....Minorities will kill each other over the most minute (my-noot), insignificant things. Yes, I said it.

they actually got it right...

Dear NY Post

Dear Editor:

I'm trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our president has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon?

If that's not what you intended, then it was stupid and willfully ignorant of you not to connect these easily connectable dots. If it is what you intended, then you obviously wanted to be grossly provocative, racist and offensive to the sensibilities of most reasonable Americans. Either way, you should not have printed this cartoon, and the fact that you did is truly reprehensible. I can't imagine what possible justification you have for this. I've read your lame statement in response to the outrage you provoked. Shame on you for dodging the real issue and then using the letter as an opportunity to attack Rev. Sharpton. This is not about Rev. Sharpton. It's about the cartoon being blatantly racist and offensive.

I believe in freedom of speech, and you have every right to print what you want. But freedom of speech still comes with responsibilities and consequences. You are responsible for printing this cartoon, and I hope you experience some real consequences for it. I'm personally boycotting your paper and won't do any interviews with any of your reporters, and I encourage all of my colleagues in the entertainment business to do so as well. I implore your advertisers to seriously reconsider their business relationships with you as well.

You should print an apology in your paper acknowledging that this cartoon was ignorant, offensive and racist and should not have been printed.

I'm well aware of our country's history of racism and violence, but I truly believe we are better than this filth. As we attempt to rise above our difficult past and look toward a better future, we don't need the New York Post to resurrect the images of Jim Crow to deride the new administration and put black folks in our place. Please feel free to criticize and honestly evaluate our new president, but do so without the incendiary images and rhetoric.

Sincerely,

John Legend

Standards

I'm biased. I came to this conclusion today on the train. I am really and truly, biased. And I dont feel bad about it at all. It's a personal choice. I, am an "oreo". Black on the outside, white on the inside...keep up guys ;-)

I am completely put off by boys that have their pants hanging off their asses. I'm even more put off by these same people, and what I call 'hood speak'. Really, I cant help it that I speak eloquently. I enunciate, i'm verbose, I can drop big words and not be shook by it (grandiose =0p). I need a little bit of intellectuality. I dont think its too much to ask. I dont require a masters. You dont even have to use big words like I do. But I just cant see myself associating too hard with the guys (and girls) that are so comfortable with this state of mind.

It's not a way of life. It's not 'where you're from'. Its a choice. Wearing jeans around your knees was not born of 'the hood'. It was born out of prison. Do the research - they dont get belts. You shouldnt be so proud of it.

It may appear as if i'm putting myself on sum super pedestal - 'oh ur saying ur too good for me?' ...Yes. I am. Sorry.


Pull your pants up. Put on a belt. Say "hey what's up," instead of "yo ma, what's good wit u." Then maybe we can talk. Carry yourself with a little more respect, I'll have more respect for you.

GodSpeed Asa



Do you watch One Life To Live? Then you know Asa Buchanan. The godfather of the Buchanan Clan. Asa Buchanan, after nearly 3 decades of chaos, died in 2007. The show had a memorial celebration for him on their 40th anniversary last year (think about it, he was on the show since 1980, and the show just turned 40 last year) . It was touching when they brought back all of his older sons/nephews/nieces that had left the show over the last 10 years.

This weekend, the actor that fulfilled the role - Philip Carey - passed away. I didnt realize he was sick in real life, and that the illness compelled him to leave in the first place. I'm saddened by it.

"The tall, deep-voiced actor began playing Asa Buchanan, the strong-willed Buchanan family patriarch who could be ruthless in business and would do whatever he had to do to protect his family, in 1980.

Carey was diagnosed with lung cancer in early 2006, said Hogan. He took a leave of absence from "One Life to Live" to undergo treatment and returned to the show later that year.

Carey's tycoon character died in his sleep in an August 2007 episode but was brought back twice in video wills and appeared on the show's 40th anniversary episodes in July 2008; Carey's last appearance was on Dec. 29.

"One Life to Live" cast member Erika Slezak (Vicki) said she was "incredibly fond" of Carey." -

I think...I might be in lust with one of my drivers.


And i've come to terms with that, and am quite ok, considering he affirmed that he's quite in lust too.


That makes for fun conversation during the work hours =0)

Too young?


Kim Petras, who used to be Tim, might be the world's youngest transexual. And possibly the next big thing in music?

Despite being born Tim, Kim states that she wanted to be a woman from the age of 2. After turning 16, she legally got the operation to make her a female.



Kim in the before time

"I was asked if I feel like a woman now — but the truth is I have always felt like a woman — I just ended up in the wrong body," she said. "I can enjoy swimming, and bikinis, go in the changing rooms without a problem, everything has changed because of this operation. I just can't wait to put on my favorite bathing suit and go swimming like I've never done before."

Kim already has a modeling contract, and released a CD.

The Problem

I have a problem with hood rats. That problem is exacerbated when they throw the hood out for the public to see and i'm forced to be in the presence of such behavior. I'm not holier than thou. I'm not high and mighty. But i am not going to go home. get people. and bring them back to my place of employment so that they can beat up who would be my boss. That's stupid, crass, and unnecessary. That kind of behaviour needs to be reined in. hard body. Ugh. Why must you lower yourself to such a level. It's embarrassing to you and everyone that has to endure.

These Boots are made for walkin...




The fact that it's Noah's Arc, one of the best shows (and now movie) ever, if anyone wants to make my valentine's day worthwhile - feel free to find and purchase those boots and express mail them to my waiting feet. Darryl is too fierce and I am overly envious that he's flaunting them so hard.

Mrs Jones: Ain't no time two people staring at each other, or standing still, loving both with their eyes all equal. Truth is, someone is chasing someone. That's the way we's built. So, who's chasing?

So when i want to, I can go back. look. read. and enjoy all over again. I should look into that.

An entire month of 2009, already over.

Another 18 weeks gone. Time surely flies. Today marks the end of football season. I'm soooo depressed about it. In a few hours, we'll either have a super defense leading, or the sickest takeover ever by the most underrated team this year. Who do you think will win?
