Now that my creative process is winding down (not to say that it ever leaves) I’m able to get back to my normal self of hanging out and joking with friends. I was out in Fairfax, Virginia for a few hours on Saturday and sheer madness took place. From playing baseball and football in the street to me winning a teddy bear hippo (pictured above) in one of those machines that people swear you can’t win from. Thanks to modern technology, some of those moments were captured for your viewing pleasure.
Woke up this morning glad that it was only a dream. Craziest thing ever. I’m currently on my second bid as a vegatarian (you can read the story behind that here). Tomorrow will make it a full week and honestly it’s very easy this time around. I haven’t had any cravings to eat meat at all, or so I thought. Went to bed last night full on veggies thinking it was all good but at some point during my sleep things got ugly. I was being forced to eat chicken tenders by someone. I can’t remember who or where, only the torture. Tender after tender being fed to me and me eating them without much resistance.
Is this a sign that I’m soon going to revert to my meat eating ways? Should I avoid chicken eaters? Or is it an even bigger sign that I’ll soon be tempted by someone or something? Who knows. All I know is I hope I don’t wake up in a cold sweat again.
I have a confession to make. This past week I had probably my best week ever as far as working out and eating healthy goes. I mean I was locked in and focused. The problem is part of the deal I have with myself is that for every good week, I am entitled to one “cheat day”.
See if you’re a normal person that can do things in moderation that might work but me, I’ve never learned to do anything halfway. It’s either I’m eating all the way healthy or I’m out of control and eating like The Klumps or Diddy. So yesterday subconsciously I grabbed a HUGE piece of fried chicken and ate it; my first piece in almost 2 years. Now you’re probably saying “what’s the big deal with just a little wing or a thigh” right? WRONG, it was an INGTHREAST (WING+THIGH+BREAST). The biggest ingthreast you’ve ever seen. Bigger than the plate I was using to hold it. Then I washed it all down with a sugary beverage; another thing I usually don’t indulge in.
There’s really no moral or good ending to this story. I ended up catching the itis and going to sleep, then I woke up this morning and my chest and back felt like someone had stabbed me. I was literally about to die. Once your body is conditioned to not eat stuff like that, eating again is like a death wish.
I’ve learned my lesson. Never again.
This is very monumental. Actually it’s not. It’s just post #200.
Congrats to Uncle Charlie Wilson. I think two weeks ago I posted that his album will be in stores, don’t know if any of you actually went and bought it but regardless he had the number 1 album on the Billboard Charts. That man makes some of the smoothest music ever.
Speaking of making music. When I first started to make songs I used to never write my stuff down. You know how most rappers say they do that just because Jay-Z and Lil Wayne make it seem so cool? That’s not me. There’s really nothing so cool about it. It’s just a technique that works better for some. The benefit is that it frees up your delivery. Music wise I’m my biggest critic and every time I write a song and read when I record it, I literally want to kill myself. You can hear the split second hesitation in the delivery, the uncertainty of what word comes next, and all kinds of other technicalities. However when I develop it in my head and record straight off memory, the songs usually turn out great. Think of it as driving out of town and having to look down at a map as opposed to someone who is from that town and has mastered the roads. The person that’s mastered the roads will be able to just cruise and drive freely with no hesitation or anything. So even though I’m not full time recording anymore, whenever I do, I’m going back to my old style of memorizing as opposed to writing.
Had to scold Simone Carlene on Twitter the other day. There’s already a shortage of people who offer a unique perspective on things, can’t have the few that still do it taking hiatuses.
Speaking of Twitter. What a fun place. I like it because although it’s addictive, it’s really not time consuming. If you read and write at even a 7th grade level you can Tweet all day and still live your normal life. It’s not like Myspace or Facebook where actual time has to be invested in it. The most fun part for me is that it allows me to freely study human psychology like none other. I mean it should be illegal. It’s high school all over again, except worse. People catch feelings, fall in and out of love, argue, back stab, tell lies and all types of stuff. That’s the negative. On the positive side there’s lots of laughs to share and good networking to be done. It sort of cuts out the middle man between fans and their favorite celebs. No need to read a press release about Rapper X’s show when Rapper X is tweeting all about it live from backstage. Also it let’s you see how cool some people are. Example being Solange Knowles. I always thought she was a bit funny style but I was way off. If you read her Twitter you’ll see that she’s a real cool person that’s misunderstood by the media.
Randomly ran into Audra at the club Friday night. Kids these days.
March 1st was a dreaded sports day. Shaq got the best of Kobe, my Lakers lost, Lebron won, just awful.

It’s snowing outside I’m not in the mood so Music Mondays is cancelled.
Holla
Happy Valentines Day to “All the Single Ladies”, the ones “With A Ring On It” and everything in between.
Scroll down just a bit and download that Lissa Monet VDay mixtape if you haven’t done so already. Heard it’s doing wonders for the gameless guys who aren’t the best of talkers. Just push play and ride to the restaurant. Remember to get her the Lobster (hahaha, inside joke).
Sidebar:why do people share inside jokes publicly? shouldn’t it just stay inside? why tease everyone else? oh, maybe so the people who do know about the joke can get it and laugh? I’m not sure.
I digress, happy Valentines once again.
Oh and remember, “it ain’t tricking if you got it”. Not like got it, but like got it, get it? Nevermind

“I know I’m contradicting myself, look I don’t need that now”-Jay-Z
Today is full of me doing things I said I wouldn’t do. Things that if I become addicted to might ruin my life. I need a psychologist again. This idea of making decisions all alone is getting old.
First off I made my return to Macy’s Ralph Lauren section. I did so good for the past 6 months (partly by choice and partly because of recession), but today it all came crashing down. I walked in there and all those colors, all that soft cotton, so precisely stitched and cut…mannnnnn.
Also I said I would never get a Twitter because I know how easily I become addicted to things and overdo them; it’s the reason I never gave into drinking or smoking. Well Twitter is one thing I couldn’t say no to. www.twitter.com/phella The one good thing is that it’s teaching me to keep my words short…it has a word count so I can’t rant forever the way I do on here.
And last but not least I swore off clubbing. From like August to October last year I was a “party animal”. Bare in mind party animal for my standards is about two parties a month. Normally I play the crib and keep to myself but I caught the party bug last year and couldn’t be stopped. Tonight I’m making my return cuz one of my homies has a reason to celebrate and I think I’ve done the crib thing to death. I tell you one thing, the future Mrs.Phella will NOT be there. Every chick I ever met at the club ended up semi-ruining my life.

I’m wondering what’s gotten into me recently. I’ve gone completely toy/gadget crazy. In the last week I’ve purchased two vacuum cleaners (having OCD just became twice as fun), a PS3, Guitar Heros World Tour, a karaoke machine, and a new navigation for the car that talks in several languages…I like putting it on Spanish to see if I can avoid getting lost.
The PS3 was purchased so I could watch Blu-Ray dvds but that Guitar Heros set was just calling my name and now I’m hooked. Every night around 3am I get busy on them drums. So much so that I’m thinking of getting into real instruments. Never knew it was that much fun.
Even more fun than Guitar Heros is the karaoke machine. Very cheap (something like $40) but more fun than you can imagine. I got these disc sets that come with the all the words; kind of like your very own background vocalists while you get your off-key on similar to Jay-Z’s “AND I WISH I NEVER MET HER AT ALLLLLLLL”. I think when I get my money right, one of the first things I’m doing is opening up a karaoke bar. Just $10 to get in and you can sing your heart out and watch other people do the same. We’ll call it “Phelly O Key”. Good idea, no?
So yeah that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I don’t know what kinda husband I’m gonna end up being but I know for sure I’m gonna be a good dad. My kids are gonna be like a bunch of Diggy and Russy’s…no JoJo though, I’ll kick him out.

I decided to hit the reset button on all my crushes. Above is the criteria that I go by in Phantasy Dating. 
Keyshia Cole is still cool and all but she has an album coming out and won’t be able to provide the attention I need. That -30 for being too goal oriented really cost her.
Bria Myles used to be front runner but she is just getting too OD with the pics she takes….cool to look at, but I don’t think I can wife something that (I know) everyone has seen. She unfortunately got a negative 1 gazillion because of her tainted past.
Chicks like Sanaa Lathan are a little bit too cliche. Every dude mentions her in their top 10. Her Fantasy score is extremely high but we don’t do cliches over here. We like New New.
Speaking of “New New”. Lauren London also has an extremely high score too but we need more power moves from her career wise to certify that she’s not a GD. 
For some odd reason I really like Rocsi off 106 and Park. Obviously she looks good but that usually isn’t the deciding factor. I think it’s because she has that “I think I’m too good” attitude that I love. 50 Cent would put her in the negative 1 gazillion category but I don’t believe Fif. She gets disqualified because she replaced, Free, the ultimate Phantasy dater.
Taraji P Henson (Howard University Girl) is also back on the playing field. I hadn’t seen her in anything for a while until the Jamie Foxx/T.I. video. She’s super smart and always smiling, plus she has that sassyness that Rocsi has mixed in with some humble pie. I think she wins for now. She fits into every positive category on the list plus tons of bonus points for things not mentioned.
That’s it for Phantasy. As for real life, I always catch borderline crazy joints(that’s what I say). Or they’re normal and I make them crazy (that’s what they say). “You should see how I am around girls, I ruin them all”-Jay-Z
“I love being single when the world gets cold though/f*ck iced tea I just need some hot coco”-Phella (Unreleased freestyle)
Pretty Self-Explanatory. You wouldn’t drink iced tea in the cold would you?

Shout out to the homie man. Dude is doing his thing. This is hilarious. And Wayne’s cool and all but I think it’s about time someone pointed out that laughing after each average punchline doesn’t make it hot.
