Ohhh Dwayne......Oops I mean Wayne

Watch CBS Videos Online

So Lil Wayne came out of his Cannibus and Codine induced stupor to conduct an interview with Katie Couric. My friend says Katie looks scared. My favorite line: " I'm a gangsta and gangstas don't ask questions" Ok perhaps I spoke to soon about him not being on something. She had every right to be scared I would be too!! Ignorant he is for sure but at least he did better than Cam'ron who on his CBS 6o Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper took his devotion to "Stop Snitching" so far as to say if a serial killer was living next door to him, he would not tell but would just move.

You Say Recession, I Say Depression

So I was watching the news today and a man had the nerve to say that we are in a "mild recession" and we are no where near the actual economic definition of a depression, so people should stop saying that term. ..... I believe he may be smoking some good drugs to even have the nerve to say this.

Monday 71,000 people were laid off and it continued through the week, two families died in murder suicides this week due to unemployment, United States Postal Service says if things do not get better they may have to go to 5 days a week versus their six (Which won't be a huge change for me since besides stealing my Essence Magazine my postal worker only comes every other day) and finally the Girl Scouts are going to start putting less cookies in a box!! So he may not think we are in a depressing but whats going on is mad DEPRESSING. To me thats enough for me to use any term I please and for him to sit on down!

Other's who need to sit down in this Depression are a wealthy couple in Florida who paid $150,000 for what a South Korean laboratory claims is the world's first commercially cloned dog, Lancelot. Lancelot Encore is reportedly an exact duplicate of Lancelot. These fools spent 150k for a dog!! While I sit here and eat Top Ramen years out of college they are spending money on Lassie 2.0. For $150,000 I'll go fetch...... I mean it is a Depression.........

My President is Black......... and Young Jeezy and Nas are Officially on My Hall of Shame

My "View" at the Swearing-In Ceremony

I mean I really need people to actually listen to the full lyrics of this song, as if the hook "My President is Black, My Lambo is Blue" was not ignorant enough. Its pure jibberish and people are chanting it like drones and wearing t-shirts with the slogan on there!!

Anyhow speaking of T-shirts, it was my distinct honor to be living in D.C. for the inaugural festivities of our 44th President: Barack H. Obama and our 47th Vice-President Joseph R. Biden. The weekend from the Opening Ceremonies to the Swearing in was Fab!! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I say that not because I have any doubt something so historical will happen in my lifetime, but because I will never ever expose myself to the cold and waiting outside again like that! For 2 days I was out in freezing temps. I am from the Midwest so I am used to the cold, but I am not an Eskimo, they need to really consider moving the inauguration to the summertime or better yet indoors to the Verizon Center!!

Anyhow back to our favorite t-shirts. So in October, I caught Mr. President on the Big Tigger Show aired here in D.C. and when asked how he felt about his name being on t-shirts, cups, and hats. He said : "He is just happy to give a brother a job" Ha! My President is Black and Funny. However, he had nooooo idea that he would be his own stimulus package. There were so many hustlers in D.C. you would have thought it was a Obama hustlers convention. I saw
T-shirts (slogans included "Black is the New President" , "the chosen one" [I def did not buy that. I do not get involved with false idolatry], "Obama Mama" Triple XL Tees with Obama in glitter and saying the Champ for our gangstas, and then just all the shirts with his face on them, no slogan needed )
homemade buttons,
flags with and without his picture,
hats
Barackulors (Yep Binoculars with Obama's picture)
hand warmers: which I bought on my own prior to the weekend rather than buying from hustlers!!
Obama Oil
Obama Pretzels
and the most inappropriate yet The Obama Condom (Regular old Durex Condom slipped into a second package with our Commander and Chiefs picture)

These things were sold everyday near metros and downtown. The only thing I could not find were Batteries!! For my camera which eventually started dying!! Anyhow I am sharing some of my pics with Toyetalks viewers. Enjoy!! Despite the cold and crowds, I can tell the little Toye's that I was there!

Crowd to the "We Are One Concert" Lots of Walking that Weekend

Military Pressence Was in Full Effect!

View of The Lincoln Memorial Coming to the Concert

Then President Elect Obama and Michelle Obama walking to their seats

Amongst Many artists including Sheryl Crow, U2, Stevie Wonder, Mary J Blige, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Garth Brooks (Who may I add brought down the house... uh the field rather to the point I may get one of his CD's or at least an illegal download) and many others. Here is my b John Legend

6am Inauguration Morning. What we found coming out of the Metro....Chaos and minimal police pressence where needed

I need the city to have done better! I was without a ticket but managed to get around the police while all these ticketed people waited to get through the 3rd street tunnel. If found out later many of these people got stuck in the tunnel and never saw the swearing in.
Walking through the 3rd street tunnel for probably almost a mile was crazy seeing as we saw maybe one police officer

Out the tunnel and onto an on ramp. Really........ Only for Obama


At 9am we are finally at th capital. We left my house thats 5 miles away at 5am

The Swearing in of Joseph Robinette Biden my Camera died after this for a bit

Got power back in time to catch peoples reactions After Obama's swearing in

HAPPY 2 -DOUBLE 0 -NINE!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well 2009 is here and I am blessed to see another year and if you are reading this so are you!!

So with the new year comes Resolutions. Some people say that they will go on that diet or stop cursing or even perhaps finally finish an unfinished project. However, I would like to give pause to one point. Didn't we say these same things last year? I know I did. So now I am supposed to get a whole new sheet of paper and make another list of things I may not do. Lets do some real conversation here. Just add to the list from last yr. Why waste paper??? Then if something has been on the list the last five years. Just cross it out. You are not doing it! So that leaves you with hmmmm maybe 2 -3 goals..... the ones you added this year. Now cross out the unrealistic goals. So at best you have one goal for 2009. The fact you have one goal now is probably best. You may just reach it!!

Anyhow I resolve to post more frequently on here amongst other things. Lets hope this does not go the way of my resolution last year to stop watching Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is
