Police Recieve Report Of Newborn Infant In Trash At Walmart…
To All The Kids Who Survived the 1930′s, 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s…
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930′s, 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s:
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts, or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren’t overweight because, WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes after running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CD’s, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms…….WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good .
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it?!

Chacarron: Possibly The Worst Song/Video Ever…
Hehehe…a while back my friends got back from Cabo and they had seen this video in a taxi or limo or something. Anyway, when they got back, someone found it on YouTube and emailed it to everyone. Famous just refreshed the email list today…so here I am posting it on the blog.
This shit is so damn funny and sad. I don’t know how homeboy got a music deal or a video made….but ‘thanks’ to whoever ‘found’ this guy. Heheheh…Chacarron!!!!
WeFunk: Deep Funk, Underground Hip-Hop, And Rare Grooves…
A good friend of mine hit me up last night and during the course of our conversation, he told me about a free online radio show/site that I needed to check out called We Funk Radio. This morning, as I sat down to do the usual at the computer, I loaded a show from that site and have been listening since. This site provides free streams of a ton of their shows (looks to me like they’ve got around 500 shows in the archive). So, if you want some dope jams to bust while your at work or around a computer….hit this site up and enjoy. This is definitely the kind of stream that I could say most of my friends would dig.
If you do decide to check it out, leave a comment on here and let peeps know what you think.

No commentsBuju And Junior Reid Fight(?) @ ‘Best Of The Best’ Show In Miami…
It was not a pleasant sight for onlookers who witnessed a confrontation between Buju Banton and Junior Reid at the Best of the Best show held in Miami on Sunday, May 25.
Both entertainers and their respective management teams are tight-lipped about the backstage confrontation.
When contacted, Jarrett, a member of Junior Reid’s management team said, “I cannot confirm anything about anything.” He said he would first have to speak with Mr Reid. However, when THE STAR called back, his phone rang without an answer.
In the meantime, eyewitnesses have leaked their versions of what they say transpired.
According to one source, it seemed as if the two (Buju Banton and Junior Reid) had been carrying some ill feelings from before.
Different version
Both Junior Reid and Buju Banton were backstage when Buju apparently tried to ‘hail’ Reid. Reid, however, shrugged Buju off, saying, “mi nuh want nuh hail from nuh byman…Buju yuh a hypocrite.”
It was at this point that they got into a tussle and a crowd converged to keep the two apart.
However, another source who was also at the event, gave a slightly different version.
“Dem (Buju and Reid) did a argue literally, is like dem start throw word an di whole ting cause a big confrontation, but it neva get too physical,” the source said.
“Is like afta di whole ting Buju start pull him button dem, cause him shirt did button up to him neck, an is like him did a try fi relax and regain him composure,” the source who was a patron at the event said.
When contacted, Joey Budefuco, promoter of the Best of the Best show said he was not aware of any incident backstage involving Junior Reid and Buju Banton.
The Best of the Best show also featured Beenie Man, Sizzla and Assassin.

Well, for me this personally just solidifies the opinion of Junior Reid that I had developed after he went on that quest for MTV fame a few months back. I mean, this dude claims he’s Mr. “One Blood” and yet his most recent song activity is pairing with some of MTV’s weakest lyrical ‘sensations’. If Junior Reid had any conscience, I think he’d stick to the high road and steer clear of the “just-add-water” rappers that MTV so proudly promotes. If I was gonna say I’m Rasta, I’d be sure to keep my musical pairing with singers/rappers/MC’s that spoke of positivity, unity, and things that go along with the Rasta faith.
Anyway…a bit of a rant bout Junior Reid, but shit…who’s he to call Buju a hypocrite? Junior Reid’s got one good song on his roster that he wrote 15 years ago. Maybe he should worry bout making ‘good’ music again.
peace,
