I don’t really have an angle for this post so I’ll just jump all over the place, bear with me. I just feel like putting something up here since the last post ended on a negative note. I really don’t want to make anyones life difficult but some people won’t let you live……I’m going to liveI am living.
Side note:Guess who was just taught how to strike a word out on html? haha I’m about to OD with it. I am OD’ing with it.
I feel bad about my performance during this inauguration weekend. I should have been way more active and more involved.
*Excuses For Not Partying As Much:Parties were too crowded, lines were extra long when we can’t skip the line, we skip the party.
*Excuses For Leaving The Inauguration Early: I was sleepy. Went straight from a party to a breakfast spot to THE breakfast spot, props to Jabari for putting a dude on to “Steak N Eggs”. From there I get in a line that stretched probably 10-20 miles. Imagine being surrounded by 3 million tourists who don’t understand the act of NOT stepping on your shoes. Imagine 15 degree temperature with no gloves and no scarf (props to the lady who kept giving me her tissues for my nose and the girl who helped me zip my hands inside my coat…2 much black+2 much love=4ever). Imagine taking pictures of monuments that you can see from your house, and then realizing that it makes no sense. Imagine being told that you can see more from the TV set than the people there in person….imagine no cell phone service. Imagine leaving with your frost bitten toes and fingers.
Props to everyone who stayed and thugged it out. I fully understand why. “It’s nobody fault I made the decisions I made, that’s why I’m still paranoid till this day..”-Jay-Z
Speaking of the Jigga man. Man that was too real to see him performing “History” on that stage. Like that’s the stuff movies are made out of. Shout out to Beyonce, Kanye, Usher, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Rihanna and everyone else who pumped life into this town this past weekend. Especially you, Ms.Rosario Dawson who I ran into stalked twice. What a woman.
Mr.Obama I know I’m not saying anything new here but you deserve to be commended a million times. You and you’re family exemplify all that’s good with the world. Struggle, perseverance, faith, hard/smart work and knowing how to handle success. You’re teaching showing men how to be naturally cool again as opposed to forcing. Your wife is showing women how to be strong, determined and beautiful without being bitchy and condescending a tad bit snotty. Your daughters are already serving as role models for their age group as well. Keep it up sir and good luck with the Presidency. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is a stones throw from where I live. Hit me up for basketball one of these days.
Back to politics as usual now.
Highly upset mannn. I don’t really go to Ben’s Chilli Bowl but I’m always right there on that street or at least close by. Why not yesterday?
“Nah we straight”…hahahahaa, this dude is the coolest.
This is how it should be. The homeboy Jigga enjoying New Years Eve in some foreign land with his girl and bumping one of his classic songs. What more can you ask for?
1)Circuit City Girl Copped From Her Own Store2)Sean Of The Famous Firm Copped In Ohio, 3)I Copped In DC
The CD is flames. Jut rode around DC bumping it and taking pics of people who I saw buying it.
*Had to edit…again…post #100 is big. Thanks for the support thus far. Let’s do it Cent’Anni (100 Years in Italian)

Was on Feb 11, 2008 and the experience shaped my next 8 months in more ways than I could ever imagine. So I think I’m going to go to the final pre-election rally tonight in Virginia. Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Good Morning America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is feeling great out there. If you’re a weekend fan? It’s the weekend. If you’re a cold weather fan? It’s cold. If you’re a warm weather fan? It’s warm. If you like music? There’s tons of great music to listen to. There’s basketball on TV again, football, baseball playoffs. There’s books etc and etc.
Speaking of things that occupy your time, the cd is 70% done and I’m excited as I’ve been in years. No first week numbers, no release party, none of that. I’m just excited to have a project that I put my all into and that I know people will enjoy.
The workout/training is 70% done (you can never really be done working out). After Nov 15th I’m going to resume regular routine as opposed to this mad man stuff I’ve been on lately.
Speaking of being on stuff lately. The future Mrs.Phella is -70% found. No prospects, no potentials, nothing. Everything fell apart (mostly because of me). I’m starting from scratch.
Howard Homecoming is in the air and ole Phelly will be around for most of it. Hope to see some of you out there.
Tomorrow is Cheesecake Saturdays…”this is what ya’ll all been waiting for ain’t it?”
