up your octane

you gotta live life as it comes to you. that myopic corportate, qc, lifestle staying cooped up till the weekend. then being uptight at the party. is absurd and horrible. we are young and single, this is the prime of our lives. live a little. take a chance, a leap. you can get by on 4 hours of sleep sometime or make it till payday friday with a few less dollars than you planned.

my life runs on a higher octane premium going on nascar 108. that two-cycle lawnmower gas lifestyle is lame. step up your octane, before life passes you by.

Hold on to your excuses

it was a classic show from Nas, aka Nasty Nas. unlike common he took the reigns and brought the house down. spitting classics from the top

NY State of Mind
The World is Yours
Life's a Bitch
Represent
One Love
Halftime
Ain't Hard to Tell

and then top it off with...........................
Live at the BBQ

and i wont even mention the rest of his performance, talib or jay.

if you weren't there you are square. thats the only nice way i can put it. I hope you had fun watching Law & Order SVU. And hold on to that $40 and go to one of the exciting non-networking parties this weekend. hahahah.


sincerely,

o2 aka frq

Thats what I'm looking for

here at frq, i am doing some r & r (revamp and re-evaluate aka lower standards). so if you get down like khia in this song, we can make it work. most of my other preconceptions and concernings are now afterthoughts like common interests, good financial standing, getting along with my family etc. if you live within 10 miles of zip code 28216 and you are single, freaky, pretty, disease and mostly drama free, we can make this thing work. especially if you have some extra money on your EBT card to spare or your own CHA (Charlotte Housing Authority) apartment. all deluxe passengers on the lowered standard express can find themselves privy to over 220 lbs of dreamy chocolate goodness that may even throw you a few dollars toward your cricket and/or section 8 or CHA subsidized housing expenses. we can listen to lil wayne o

lol, she called herself a lady. and wanted to meet someone's mother. wow. khia is too much.

Home is where the heart is (28216)

i was on the bus today and observed the westside with new eyes. i know in the past my neighborhood has been the butt of jokes. some of which were very funny, i must admit, but now let me enlighten you on the other side of the tale.

i just wanna give a shout out to the beaties ford corridor, from trade st, jcsu, past oaklawn to lasalle, thru griers grove up to trinity park. this is my area, no doubt.

today i observed and appreciated you in a way never before. looking the the glass of the 7N this morning you, i became part of you. not like usual when i'm transvering on you on my bike or jetta. light here, light here turn, slow down then quentin st, is the usual way of things. today i saw your beauty.

the crape myrtles trees in beautiful bloom, the hard working brothers at the city water works, the gleam of chrome as a youngin hustles for a tip at the detail shop, the array of oils and incense sold in front of Mr. C's, the young tenders shaped and stout at the shopping center and the old perverse passerbys getting an big eyeful, shoptalk an the buzz of clippers at Anderton's, beating the lunchtime line as we all try to cash in on the footlong for $5, the proud father at the busstop with his gorgeous babygirl, the dark skinned sista in all her chocolate glory leaving the dooby shop, ms barbara removing her newport to give the "bidness" to the congregation of teenagers at the edge of her lawn, to stealing some shade in the carport, under the eavesment or taking advantage of the shade of aged and overgrown trees throughout University Park, the regalness of the older homes maintained by our benevolent elders, especially 1600 Beaties Ford, i'm gonna get you somehow, sometime.........and did it tell you i am up to my ears in fresh Quentin St peaches, ripe and juicy, like a farmer i harvest them everyday, you can't get that in Old Stone Crossing, McIntyre, Ballantyne, where you live, not at all. i love Quentin St, University Park and the 28216.

hold on, i have no love for any of those brick huts in University Park or LaSalle or the Texaco beside 77. if you dont know, just trust me.

so for my remaining time in qc, i will be no where else. yeah i'll put in some sweat equity and make this place sexy, new floors, paint and fixtures. then i'll be good. home is definately where the heart is.

The Dark Side had a recruting problem

i guess you think, i'm that nerd. ill be that. but i was watching all of the star wars movies last summer. and as an adult you see things kind of differently. darth vader was a beast. in reality there is no way luke's innocent ass stood a chance against him. with just the designer toga pantsuit he was wearing and that damn light sabre, vader would have flossed his teeth with him or any jedi. rules and etiquette are nice. like the stuff we tell kids to keep there innoncence. but bad would have triumphed over good on that day.

seriously, darth vader choked his subordinates through a teleconference screen. then later he strangled him and appointed his 2nd in command on site. seriously he was a bad motherfucker.

but as i was watching, it hit me. vader had swagger, power, he was the strongeest in the universe, and he had a dope uniform and theme music but he had no bitches. what the fuck?????????? none, whatsoever. even sloppy, gimpy ass jaba the hut had intergalactic chicks. wasnt the chick chained up with princess laya, green and looked like the opera singer in the Fifth Element. you cant tell me there are no bad females throughout the galaxy.

now i have posed this arguement before. and was told that he had no use for women cause his "banger" got burnt off in episode III after the fight with obee wonkonobee. which may explain it all. but after seeing his display of strength and how luke's hand was surgically reattached in Empire Strikes Back, i firmly believe that with that advanced technology, getting a new one would not have been a problem.

and i always thought that was the point in being a bad guy/world conquerer. no rules, means i steal and kill whomever. then at night, have orgies with their women. thats how it used to be(ie the Greeks and Romans). those wee the spoils of war. maybe that will be played out by the end of this millenium.

if i had seen Vader's harem, as a young impressionable child on of those offbeat universes, i would have signed up myself. i'd be darkside for life.

Blind dedication

its pretty self explanitory. gotta step game up like phonte says. "cant get christal with a boones farm mindstate"

4th of July

the weekend of the fourth has been really amazing. from qc to salsbury to gboro back to qc, the kid has been on the run and was rarely seen without a plate in my hand. and this weekend has some surprises, three for the good and one for the bad. getting some long overdue time with my cousin tristan was the most mindblowing. we have come along way from disneyland and the summer at west oak lane in 1986. i admit we didnt mix for a while. but fortunately years later and some maturing, at least on my side, i am very happy that we can start anew. so at times i was in awe cause i was getting to know my cousin for the first time at age 28. its a great thing.

so this is a shout to my big cousin tristan. see in you philly htis fall. i promise.

So i am at work.......(3)

and we get stuck up by some unarmed white trash druggie. all he had was a half-assed threatening tone in his voice and a bottle of vitamin water in the small of his back. once again some real shameful shit. it never stops. and to make things worse. i called the cops and he was apprehended in less than 90 seconds, cause 3 cop cars were across the street cause he tried the same thing there a few minutes earlier.

and i knew he didnt have a gun. i would have bet all of my future powerball earnings on it. once again pretty shameful.......
