iRamble - 1 - “Monday”

I wouldnt say that i am an authority on anything, i have written a few blogs, and have a pretty passable following in my personal social networking. But i figure the best place to start when beginning a blog, that you want people to discover and read, is getting personal with your readers, and hopefully making a connection with them in their minds. So this is me taking a small portion of my time to sit down and just write freely, about things that i think of, and how i feel about life in general. Of course all feedback is wonderful, and if you stumble upon me and just happen to take a chance and find out who i am, i hope that something you read, or something i say helps you understand me as i express the feelings of myself.

I have always thought that the world is a place of mysteries and wondrous and grotesque realities. At times it is beautiful but also at other times it is sad and dark, and scares the hell out of me. I see merit and goodness in the selflessness of people, but i also see the evil that can manifest itself in people making it almost unbearable to fathom the lengths some people are willing to go to ruin, burn and destroy others.

i have notice a dynamic shift in my life, in the people i see and interact with, its no longer the practice to hear, and know, but only to base their lives on what they see, as opposed to having any semblance of faith or understanding of “what lies beneath.” This is revelation that i am neither redeeming nor condemning, its just an observation. I see women so bent on their outward appearance that the merits of their personality are severely lacking, especially when compassion and understanding is involved. I see men so bent on instant sexual gratification that they will pick women from the crowd like picking a watermelon from a fruit stand. its disconcerting yet completely understandable. our society has become a very “what you see is what you get” mentality which is fine, it seems to work for the moment.

But when does one ask themselves, what about tomorrow? what about later? what about after the fire has burned out? who cleans up the mess? who takes out the trash? who is going to be there in the morning?

I ask these things out of pure curiosity, i pride myself as being a man of substance, i wouldn’t say that i am man of inherent beliefs per say. But i believe that there is much more people than what is on the surface, much more than meets the eyes.

I don’t hate people truly if i really dig down deep and look at them, because i don’t know them, i truly believe hate is impossible if you are ignorant to 100% of the facts. I have friends 10+ years that i am still trying to figure out.

Please feel free to comment or read some of my other posts, and if your reading this please let me know what you think. I am an open book.

M’advice #2: “All about yo’self!” Wassup my ninjas, Today I want to talk about a few things that have really been grinding my gears this week. I plan to take my personal experiences and write about them, to see if on some level some kind of common ground can be met. Even if common ground means me putting someone on fucking blast and making them feel the need to extricate themselves from the meager existence the have deluded themselves into believing is fault free. So sit back in your chair, or reposition on that there toilet, and get ready for more M’advice. Today I want to talk about “Hypocrites!” now first my friends lets do ourselves a favor and define the word. “hypocrite -(noun) 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. 2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.” - (according to dictionary.com) Now let’s simplify, not that it’s needed of course, im quite positive no one reading this has any problem with their brain capacity and/or retention. This is merely just to set up the pins so I can knock the motherfuckers down, if you smell what I’m stepping in? First of all, the hypocrites I’m talking about today are the bitches/bastards, say one thing and do another, or hate on a certain type of person when clearly that person them-self clearly is apart of said persecuted community. It’s very easy to pass judgement on someone, but blatantly idiotic to pass judgement on your own kind. For example: Fat people, now I a lot of people look at us “fatties” and think oh god that’s just disgusting, or “Jesus Christ maybe you should have a salad instead of another burger there chunk!” which doesn’t really bother me. Because usually people who say these things are completely ignorant the blight and hardship of being overweight. I’m not even going to defend fat people, most of the time it’s about a lack of restraint, and we choose to eat like barbarians to make ourselves look this way it’s our own fault. But usually there is some level of underlying issue in place that is the cause of it. It’s very easy to sit back and judge, people without getting to know that person and why they choose to do what they do. But in essence the same goes for every problem, whether it be compulsive spending, or gambling, or alcoholism. There is always a reason, and hopefully one day there is hope that it will change. That’s just the potatoes of this rant, let’s get to the mothafuckin meat! What pisses me straight the fuck off are people who are fat themselves, and have the nerve! To hate on other fat people, honestly I’ll admit, I have been guilty of this in the past, I’ve said on a number of occasions that i hate fat people. And honestly it was only a reflection on how i felt about myself. This is something I’ve come to change about myself especially when I’ve become a victim of it. But to be so completely unaware of yourself that you find it necessary to sit back and talk shit, and snub your nose at people you are in the same boat as? I know people currently, who will sit back and be one Reese’s Pieces away from holyshit! And then sit there and call other fat people disgusting. Its like a guy saying he hates gay people when his breath smells like semen! Do yourself a favor and look in the mirror bitch, make sure that your the baddest hoe on the planet before you start tossing out accusations and getting on your pedestal to preach to the masses about something. Make damn sure you measure the weight of your words, and that you have the balls to say something to that persons face instead of behind their back where it can get back to that person because in the long run all it will do is make you loom like a lesser life form. It’s very easy to point a figure then to lend a helping hand. And 9 times out of 10 if that person really wants to change something about themselves, it’s not the skinny people we want help from, it’s not the trainer at the gym, it’s not the hoochie at your local GNC trying to sell you supplements, it’s the other fatties who obviously aren’t as bad off as the others that we hope to lean on for help and companionship. Whether its religion, or habits, or just regular daily life, there are judgmental and hypocritical assholes everywhere you turn. Who spend their time looking down on you to and step on you so that they can feel better a out their own insecurities in life. I know that at the end of the day, if I look at someone and disagree with their choice, I will do what I can to help, rather than kick back and accost them for what they clearly have no sense of control over. All of these things are issues Ive been forced to deal with whether i liked or not. Do yourself a favor mr/mrs. Hypocrite rethink your pimp game, grow the fuck up, and if you don’t like what am who you see standing before you, because how they look. Either change your own thinking, or leave that person alone. Because honestly hatred and persecution is what breaks things, whereas a little compassion would really do more good. If I’m not good enough at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best. And by all means necessary, get your fatass on my level. -o’jonny

M’advice #2: “All about yo’self!”

Wassup my ninjas,

Today I want to talk about a few things that have really been grinding my gears this week.

Even if common ground means me putting someone on fucking blast and making them feel the need to extricate themselves from the meager existence the have deluded themselves into believing is fault free.

So sit back in your chair, or reposition on that there toilet, and get ready for more M’advice.

Today I want to talk about “Hypocrites!” now first my friends lets do ourselves a favor and define the word.

“hypocrite -(noun)

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.” - (according to dictionary.com)

M’advice #1: “Daddy is Santa Claus real?”

Wassup peepholes,

I recently posted on my fb/twitter that I was getting ready to start a new series asking my friends,family and random passersby(or however the term is properly used) what topics I should write about. I had some great ideas thrown my way. I plan to make this into a weekly series.

The premiere topic of this series is “When to break it to your kid that Santa is bullshit.” all credit goes to my dear sister. Who also runs a rant blog called gutsonfire.tumblr.com = check it out.

Typically this topic is brought up to parent from a child, with a curious big eyed expression a child will come to their parent and ask “Mommy/Daddy? Is santa claus real?” on the other hand there are times when the topic is approached from a different stand point…like when you realize that your child or someone else’s child is a spoiled little fucker that gets money signs in their damn eyes whenever a Barbie or Video Game commercial comes on the TV.

Historically i could argue that christmas in general is the biggest shopping day of the year which in turn stimulates our economy and the message of Christmas is blown waaaaay out of proportion and turns most if not all children into vile blood sucking fiends that if given a choice between Barbie/Bratz/PS3 Game at the cost participating in a hunger games scenario, as opposed to slipping presents and putting money towards a college fund. These little glue sniffing resource drainers would probably cut their best friends head off.

Granted this doesn’t apply to all children…poor people, and Amish people are excluded. Unless Jedidiah and Samuel are currently duking it out in a barn somewhere for a new sickle to beat wheat stalks, or Ahmad and Aziz are in Dubai trading scraps of food for tinker toys. Honestly the chances of that are about as close as me convincing Megan Fox to sit on my face…(dirty slut, papa like :)!)

At this point parents you have to ask yourself a question, “what do I do?”

Do you oust the poor fictional character and crush your children’s dreams in order to quell the obvious misguided fantasy that has ultimately become our reality? In attempts to some how salvage this simpleton that has sprout forth from your womb or been fertilized by the contents of your ballsack? And hopefully make a productive member of our society?

Or….

Do you be gangster as fuck and let that shit ride? Go all in? Throw caution to the wind and say fuck it! While you transform yourself in a metaphorical spider and weave a web of fanciful lies and perpetuate the innocence of your sublime little ankle biter, so that one day they too can be portrayed on the news for trampling someone at a Walmart stampede on black Friday in order to have ample sacrificial offerings to the infamous dark lord known as Santa Claus! So that one day they too can sit at the alter of greed and malice and pass down a link of bad credit lines and failed progression into the world for generations to come.

It’s a double edged sword no matter which way you look at it, because no matter what you do, it all boils down to one thing. Simple greed.

My “M’advice” to you is, learn the word “No.” not “maybe” or “we’ll see” be straight up and honest. Unless you want to have a child like Dudley from the Harry potter series, bitching about “36 presents, but last year there was 37!” children need boundaries and restraint, and sometimes they just need a good old fashioned asswhoopin. Not time outs, and shit. The word spoiled isn’t attractive, people see the product of spoiled children all the time, like when you see Paris Hilton doing reverse cowgirl via Night Vision, or Lindsey Lohan smoking her kneecaps off and getting the Joan rivers treatment so her lips look like they could be used as flotation devices. Or when you start collecting children like their treasure trolls like Angelina Jolie. And then of course the one word that makes me want to projectile vomit everyone I hear it. “Kardasian.” *vomits*

Honestly get your shit together people, stop the bleeding, remember that at the end of the day, “you never know how strong you are until your forced to find out.”

A little hardship isn’t gonna kill us.

And by god do yourself a favor and get on my level.

That is all.

O’jonny

Oh video games! How I love thee! So 2012 is gonna be a pretty awesome year, though there are some returning series that I love and hate coming back this year but you always have to take the good with the bad I guess, the gaming companies I plan on keeping a close eye this year will be Capcom, Namco, and square-enix. At least for the first quarter, there are a myriad of bad ass games coming out this year but I’m really looking forward to the following. Final Fantasy XIII-2 - simply because I loved its predecessor, there was a lot bad mouthing about this game, but I honestly the game engine was great, the characters were great, (except for Camille and sazh…they are just stupid, not even in a funny way.) But the concepts were great. I have never been great at the stereotypical “turn-based” rpg’s, with the exception of Pokemon which I enjoy more as am adult then I ever did as a kid. I just thought ffxiii was the most beautiful game i have ever seen. Even compared to skyrim, final fantasy has no equal in my opinion. Can’t wait for the next installment. :-) Street fighter X Tekken - Im so hyped up for this game, its the best of both worlds, or at least it will be. The rumour is that there will be 2 games in this collaboration, there will be the current game that will be modeled like a street fighter game only with tekken characters, the next game will be the opposite street fighter characters in a tekken style game. Its going to be odd because of how projectile based street fighter is, but I’m curious to see what they come up with. To be continued…. Zoom

Okay so I know I will piss some people off by saying this, but for some reason there is something about jay-z’s face that makes me want to punch it. I’m not saying the trout mouth prick ain’t successful, or even that he makes horrible music. I’m just saying in my opinion, I think he is far from the greatest rapper alive. He is cool for what style he has and I generally like the collaboration he did with linkin park and a select few other artists. But the greatest? Really? You gotta be fist fucking me…besides big pimpin’, hardknock life, and the new York song he did with Alicia keys this fool is made music that I can’t even take a shit to without wanting to pinch off and change the station. Its cool he’s made his money started his empire so to speak and done great things but I don’t get it. There are many other prolific artists that I would miles ahead of him at least in the talent department. Maybe I’m a sucker for the underdogs, but common and mos def are light years ahead of him. Granted I like my hip-hop more down-south then I do compared to east coast or west coast. This of course is just my personal opinion. I don’t hate the Guy he just annoys me. Please pleeeeease…get off the stage son, and let Drake, lil Wayne, and who ever is hot right now, get the stench of H-to-the-izzo’s stench off the name of hiphop…. Real talk.

So Ms. or Mr. Poison, there has been a lot of controversy around this character for many years, spanning all the way back to the old school side scrolling fighting game final fight made by capcom. A lot of you (by you i dont mean you specifically) motherfuckers give her/him a bad rap because everyone either thinks shes a dude, tranny, or whatever. The point is, this character is coming in the New Street Fighter X Tekken, and along with Yoshimitsu i plan to play them as my first serious team when the game drops in a few months, i think their move sets (from what ive seen on youtube.) may really compliment each other. Personally i think the bitch is hot, and its all pink when the lights go out…wave your freak flag, and get over yourself…shes a bad bad bitch…id hit it…just saying.. Zoom
