When I was younger, I was a big ass Public Enemy fan.You can ask JD lol. My father was in the Nation of Islam, and all my friends branded me as a Militant lol. I mean, I was “militant” as fuck. To a fault sometimes, but that is the life of a “Militant” I guess lol. I wouldnt say I was militant, I was just more into the truth, and I would get upset when people would try to come at me with bullshit lol. Something that still pleagues me to this day, but I’ve been trying to battle that recently. I shouldnt get upset at things like that. Actually, watching Barack Obama effectively handle Hillary and Bill Clinton when they pulled out the classic white people tactic of pressing niggas buttons, in the special white person way, that they all seem to fucking have down pact lol. They went pretty far too. They straddled the racism line and everything. They did everything and used every tactic they could to make this man lose his temper and just bust out with a “BITCH PLEASE!!! Gotdamn shut that shit up already...” or the classic “its because im black”. They went with the stick to your own truth dispite the fact that real truth has been presented numerous times, tactic. They did the shit that McCain is doing right now, trying to be-little this mans accomplishments. They tried thier asses off. It was like by the time that they really felt like he had a good chance of winning, they didnt have long enough to really think and prepare for that, and didnt know how to attack him at all. Nothing would really work. The only two things that even work against the man is 1. his race and 2. the fact that he is a democrat and the country is split down the middle.

Watching Obama brain bang on Hillary and Bill, and then now watching how he is taking it to McCain and Palin. This has really been my inspiration to keep my temper through a storm of bullshit. Obama is clearly out smarting these people left and right. Not only that but he is better than them, at what they have been making a living on since the country has been established. No, I dont mean he is good at putting niggas to work. Well, maybe. Because I dont think all these news people really realize how Black people really get down.
If niggas supported, Micheal Jackson through touching kids, R Kelly pissing on girls, and OJ Simpson killing white people. Supporting a Black man for president, ON VOTING DAY? Especially with Palin running now? I think when the time comes the country will see whats crackin when its actually TIME to do something. Thats just what I think though. LOL aint like niggas havent let me down before.

Anyway, I didnt mean to start off on a rant, I just wanted to show off my new digs n shit lol. Like I was saying, when I was younger, I was a big Public Enemy fan. I had a few PE t shirts. But I always wanted a jacket. Never had the doe. But thanks to Obey, I was able to finally cop me a fresh ass PE jacket after all these years. Couldnt be happier!

Ah yea, dont hate on the Lo Teddy in the corner either bitch. lol A nigga like me couldnt be happier. I got one of the Obey / PE t shirts too. Because that shit goes nice with my Black and Mellow Yellow J’s!

Lastly, I leave you with the lyrics from one of my favorite Public Enemy tracks. Dont Believe The Hype. Fitting, yea?

Back
Caught you lookin’ for the same thing
It’s a new thing check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
‘Cause I’m livin’ low next to the bass C’mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I’m a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend guardian
I’m not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I’m not a racist
Preach to teach to all
‘Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun…
I wasn’t licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I’m the epitome - a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don’t believe the hype…

Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang’em
I’ll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain’t dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don’t tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I’m a different kind
We’re brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin’
I don’t rhyme for the sake of of riddlin’
Some claim that I’m a smuggler
Some say I never heard of ‘ya
A rap burgler, false media
We don’t need it do we?
It’s fake that’s what it be to ‘ya, dig me?
Don’t believe the hype…

Don’t believe the hype - its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98’s boomin’ with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can’t stop the dunk
Comin’ from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there’s a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio’s scared of me
‘Cause I’m mad, plus I’m the enemy
They can’t c’mon and play with me in primetime
‘Cause I know the time, plus I’m gettin’ mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I’m livin’ right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don’t rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can’t swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it’s true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don’t believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I’ll snatch
‘Cause I’ve had it
I’m not an addict fiendin’ for static
I’ll see their tape recoreder and grab it
No, you can’t have it back silly rabbit
I’m going’ to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you’re a writer, are we that type?
Don’t believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
-88 you wait the S1Ws will
Rock the hard jams - treat it like a seminar
Teach the bourgeoise, and rock the boulevard
Some sau I’m negative
But they’re not positive
But what I got to give…
The media says this

lol i could go on and on, but I got shit to do lol. Have fun clicking through the links. But if you do follow them, it might give you a little bit more incite to why I’m such a PE fan. I cant listen to militant rap all gotdamn day tho. Id honestly rather read a gotdamn book homie. I mean, how much fucking knowledge can you fit in a 3 min song? Or an album for that matter. Plus, Im suppose to take some rappers word for it? Chuck D, Ras Kass, Lil Wayne, I dont give a fuck. Ill be damn if I just take some rappers word on something serious and not at least go look it up. Especially with the internet these days, I mean damn. But, anyway lol thats why Im a PE fan, and always have been. Same reason Im a Wu-Tang Clan fan too though. But just throw in some TOUCH NOTCH mc’n and oh boy. Bliss through beats and rhymes.

Back when OSX first came out, I became a Mac user. Dont remember when that was. Maybe 2002. I became a Mac user. Mainly because I came up on one for cheap lol. The one day some how some way, my PC fucked up, and I became a full time Mac user, for years. like… 3. lol. Maybe 2 and some change. I dont remember all the way.

I decided to switch back to a PC, because the whole mac situation just irritated me (lol sorry, not really). And every pc ive ever put together, has run faster than any store bought mac Ive ever bought. Well, some years ago, for no good reason, one of my back up hard drives on my pc just fucking up and died on me. What was on that drive? All my music, and all my pictures. It was about 6 years of pictures on that hard drive. Some people may remember there used to be a photoblog on this site (which is coming back at some point.) all those photos, were lost. All the pictures I had planned to put on that photoblogger were lost. Alot of my memories, just gone. I still have the hard drive. And I plan on getting everything off that drive some day, one way or another. Which my shit died, I shed a few tears. Sigh, around that time, I dont know… I was going through so much, and my whole life was slowly falling apart all around me in damn near every aspect, and I couldnt do shit about it, no matter how hard I tried. This was just 1 more thing to the pot, that eventually led to me having a nervious fucking break down lol. (im not playing lol i really did have one for the most part)

Anyway, way back when, I named my Mac… Darth Uhmah. Because by coping the mac, I felt like I went to the dark side lol. But I was really loving the Mac, so fuck it. I named it after the ultimate representive of the Dark Side of the force. The Darth. Not Darth Vadar particularly, because if youre live like that, youre gonna get the title of Darth… Maul, Vadar, etc. LOL I take pride in naming my shit for whatever reason. I also used to have a hard drive named “Fredie Five Fingers”, “Dr. Orange” all kinds of shit. lol

So on with the story and the point of this post, kinda lol. Recently I switched over this site from using wordpress and a whole bunch of other free scripts around the net to just one simple Expression Engine install, which has been fucking great so far. I did have to break ALL of my gotdamn links, site and everything else. But eh, fuck it, who cares, I dont try to make any money off this site. Its really just for me to practice. Thats why alot of shit on this site never works lol. Because I use this site to fuck up on lol.

However, when I switched to Expresson Engine, I quickly found out, the default templates and the free templates are fucking awful lol. I was trying to get the fuck off my high and perfect horse, and I was just gonna let this site look any kinda way. And I did, I am proud of myself for letting it look like it did for as long as it did. Shit was rough lol. So after a while, and after my work load got a tad lighter. I decided to put together at least just a temporary sitaution that looked better than the last shit. Which this is.

So I was sitting around thinking of something that I would be OK with as a temporary solution, and I thought so myself… Why dont you use something old that you never put up? Which seemed like a great idea, except for I couldnt find any of my old artwork. Turns out, it was all on my old Darth Uhmah hard drive, that I had laid out to pasture because I havent used my G4 for years. So I fire up that bitch and low and behold, I found a bulk of all my old pictures! I swear, I shed a few tears. I can count on 1 hand the times I have cried tears of joy. This was one of them. There are still a ton of pictures that are still lost on that dead hard drive, but i found all the first pictures I ever took. Thousands. You talk about HELLA fuckin Happy? Man, Ive been going through most of them all day. I havent gotten shit done. lol.

So now lol, the site. Since I found ALL of my old artwork, that I havent seen in years. I figure, why not put it up? Might as well. There is a buncha shit I need to put on this site that Ive done over the years that have never seen the light of day. Want an example? Click here lol. Sigh, I think I might actually do something with that too some how some way.... one damn day lol.

About the background image, Uhmah Everywhere. I remember back in the day, a few graphic designers I knew, or knew of rather. Because still to this day, I dont know any of the people I started out with. I just know of them lol. So back in the day, a few graphic designers around the net took the logos from their site or some other design they did, and they would make stickers. They would make stickers and then paste them around their respective cities, take pictures and what not. I always thought it was pretty damn cool lol. I always wanted to do the same thing, but I didnt wanna pay for the fucking stickers, nor did I wanna be a biter. But I still wanted to do the same thing kinda. I also have this thing about me where Im SUPER competitive. So if Imma do something similar to somebody else, I have to 1 up them lol. So I thought it would be dope if I could get The Uhmah ( the moai with the afro lol ) on the side of a building or a truck or a bill board or something. Now, a nigga like myself would REALLY wasnt about to pay for that shit lol. And 1 upping these dudes wasnt all that serious to me, so I was like fuck it, Ill just practice my photoshopping by photoshopping the uhmah on the side of different shit. Turns out I only had time to do 1. This was it lol.

I was gonna touch it up and make it look better. The picture was taken with a 2 mp camera in like… 2002 I beleive. On the freeway lol. Syl and I were going some where. I didnt take this picture with the intent on using it for this. I just have a thing for Disel Trucks. That thing is Im actually scared of them shits. And when I say scared, I dont mean scared in the traditional sense. I just fear them shits on the road. My father used to drive an hour down the 10 both ways every day to work when I was younger, and he used to tell me all kinds of stories about 16 wheelers fucking people up, and almost fucking him up a bunch of times. So naturally when my Black ass started driving, I will RUN like a girl from a fucking Diesel truck on the road. Its hard to tell with the way I drive, but trust me. Im totally scared of them shits.

Speaking of old shit and trucks though, here goes more evidence to go against what I was JUST saying lol

LOL No, I didnt take that picture, but I did make the girl with the fro lol.
I was gonna do a flash project called “The Big Uhmah Trucking Co.” to work on my flash skills, get some practice in, and to use a bunch of pictures I took of trucks. ( I used to have a bunch ). I think I made this graphic in 2002 too.

Ive been going through my old artwork all day too… LOL some of this old shit I did, I think is incrediably lame now… some of it is just bad. ... and well never see the light of day lol.

So now this shit looks different, and I can sleep at night. LOL. This site is a constant work in motion, so if its fucked up. Then so what lol.

Or anybody else for that matter. lol

Since I’ve started fucking with twitter, Ive noticed that you find your self explaining what the fuck Twitter is. Shits difficult. Before I joined, I just didnt fucking get it myself. I think Liz tried to explain it to me a few times, but I still didnt fucking get it. And I’ve been on the internet since 97 lol. To tell the truth, even after I joined the shit I still didnt really get the point of it. But eventually, lol I got it.

So once you join Twitter, you find your self explaining what the fuck Twitter is to people who used to be just like you lol. And you will quickly find, the shit is kinda difficult. Sometimes youre in the middle of trying to tell somebody what the fuck Twitter is, and you find your self, asking yourself. Self, this sounds kinda silly, why do i fuck with this shit again? lol.

I think the real reason that I started fucking with Twitter, was so I could get down to the bottom of what twitter really was. Not really, I was bored and needed something new to fuck with after I got bored with Facebook. So after being blowed and fucking with Twitter for a lil while now. One day I was at a party, and dont ask me how, but somebody started talking about Twitter and of course, somebody asked what Twitter was. And as I sat there and watched (dont remember who it was) try to explain that shit, and served up a cup full of confusion lol. I was pretty drunk and high, sitting watching whoever it was just get more confused, and it kinda just came to me! Ive been on the net for a long time, and I started off in Yahoo chat. It seems alot of people who got on the internet around that time, they did alot of chat rooming. So I know chat, when I see chat. Twitter is alot like chat, a BIG ASS Chat room. So this is what I had to tell this person, and I they basically got it. So I’ve been telling people the same shit, some still dont get it. And I wouldnt call these people dumb, I’d just say they just couldnt wrap their head around it still. Some people just cant see shit in their head like that. (dumb asses lol)

Twitter is alot like chat. Lets just say, youre in a room full of people saying random bullshit. But you dont have to listen to it all. You can select the people you want to listen to (which is called “following"). And while listening to the people you want to listen to. You can reply to the random bullshit somebody said. All the while, you can put your random bullshit in the air, and if what you have to say, somebody else wants to hear. They will too, start listening to you. Possibly replying to the random bullshit you have said.
And like anything else, depending on who you are, and what the fuck you have to say, more and more people will start to listen. In any case, if you have something to sell or promote, this is another way to get the word out about your site… to some degree. With anything, it depends how you work it and what you want out of it.

Youre on your own from there. Because the next set of questions I SUPER fucking hate. So ummm, where can I get a twitter program? Do I have to go to the site just to put stuff up? So on and so on. Thats when I usually abandon the conversation lol. I hate explaining shit and not getting paid for it. And when I do get paid for it, I charge ALOT more. Fuck that. Knowledge is power nigga. AND taxable homie. You had to pay for your college education, you gotta cheese a nigga off for this big bag of internet knowledge Im sitting on over here. And of course, you have the option not to. You also have the option of teaching your self. Like I did. Enjoy. The choice is yours homie. Im getting paid either way. Its just a matter of how much. I could go on and on. lol.

But you get my point. I aint explaining shit, other than go to Twitter.com and look for the good word. Or maybe find twitter fox and get to reading. I already gave you the basic concept. lol Shit, hit me up, I’ll follow you lol. Thats as far as I’m going. I suck? so what.

Honestly. They shouldnt give niggas like me, technology like this. Shits way too entertaining. On so so many levels. At least to me.

OJ Says:

whats wrong with that? somebody gotta do the hard work. fuck the dumb.

lol

We cant all be smart. God doesnt want it that way (according to me and as far as i can tell). Nothing would get done.

Yesterday I was rolling around the internet. Yes, I say “rolling around the internet(s)” because, I dont fucking surf. The “surfing the net” has always been lame to me.

Anyway, so I found this here…

Chilli Red Air Max 95s!
These shits are fucking dope!

I was just saying I needed more red in my wardrobe. Apparently these are exclusively at Footaction, and there are like 12 per store. Which is wack. Im sure there are no 13’s left no where. I just checked, and they’re arent. fuckin shit. Anyway, Im also cool on paying 250 for these bitches. If I find myself at a mall though, Im going to have to pester somebody. Although, I have no real faith lol. I know two people that would really lose it over these shoes. One of them is my cousin John. The other person doesnt get mentioned lol. Although, I would have sooo copped these for her at one point. dah well!
I remember John used to have a Ford Escort that was the same color red on these shoes. We used to say that it was pink lol. Shit was the guts. But now that these shoes have come out, and I’d wear them. I’d say that John was rolling around a “Chilli Red” Escort lol.

Next, taking marketing to a whole new level. Now I dont really know anything about this movie, and hoenstly, I dont wanna know. I just want to show up and watch the shit. Im sure it will be live. Every since Home Alone, I refuse to watch previews for movies that look super great off the back. Actually, it was after I saw Dusk Till Dawn, and i didnt know SHIT about the movie. I just showed up with my uncle, he was like… this is gonna be live, its a vampire movie, shut up and just watch it. I fucking HATE most vampire movies first of all. But Dusk Till Dawn is still to this day, one of my favorite movies. I wasnt ready for SHIT that happen in that movie. Thats how I prefer things. I like shock and awe in movies. Something I dont know. None the less… Im not trying to see any previews for this movie… im about to talk about lol.

Rightious Kill

Maybe its me, but the poster makes me feel like this movie is gonna be super live. Al and Rob, instant magic first of all. Thats what Hollywood movie making is all about right there lol. Secondly Im mad that I really wanna wear a movie shirt..... That isnt a classic yet at least. lol. Kinda makes me feel like Im in Berlin talking to hella europeans acting like Im president lol. (not that i find anything wrong with that lol)

But here is what the site said that I Jacked this from. Because they tell the tail better than I do lol.
