1. After listening to The Cool so much yesterday, I haven't listened to a single Lupe song once...could I be growing tired of the effervescent, positive hip hop that is Lupe Fiasco? I have Young Buck blasting right now, so maybe that answers that question...
2. Jay-Z is starting ANOTHER record label for talent he discovers (because that Memphis Bleek thing really payed dividens).
3. A certain Manny Santana (you know who you are) has informed me that the next time he sees a certain Danjuma he's going to punch him in the face just for the fun of it.
4. I just read this thing that said "Happiness is a sad song". WTF sense does that make?

So, having had ample time to reflect on life and all of its intricacies... i have some morning thoughts to add to this discourse. After all, most of poignant moments come to me swiftly in the night. Pause.
These are moreso for discussion:
1. When The One is an open book, and tells a woman how He is feeling, that He doesn't want to stay up terribly late but doesn't mind if she stops by for a little bit... is it wrong of Him, at the point of becoming extremely tired, to send said woman home after continuous prompting of her to call a cab, so that He can get the rest He so desired hours ago? The One means, should The One feel guilty about sending her home frustrated (not that He does feel guilty, but should He?) That is probably selfish of Him isn't it?
2. Why is it that people feel that its acceptable to try to change your mind/feelings about how you relate to them when how you are presently is the exact way you were when they met you... and how you relate to them now is no different than how they agreed you'd relate to them on the onset of your relationship..?
3. Have you ever been annoyed with how much control you have over your relationships w/ the opposite sex?
4. Is The One a bit too reflective on Friday mornings?
5. Who got $5 on my 6 pack?
Dear The 2nd Black President: LOL at afternoon thought #2. Truism. I think just about every big name rapper who has a label and tried to put on his boys has failed considerably (e.g., Eminem, Nelly, Luda, the list goes on). There are a couple of exceptions, but when you're a superstar it's challenging to find another one as skilled as you, so you end up lowering your standards and/or giving dudes deals just because... For Jay-Z, the Bleek project did pay some dividends to some extent...The Memph Man's coming of age has led to him being Hov's hype man for 10+ years strong now. But give him credit when credit is due – Shawn Carter the executive has marshaled in some successful R&B talent for Def Jam as of late, (i.e., Ne-Yo and Rihanna), so maybe the “I’m not a business man, I’m a business man” will excel in his second go-round at a record label. Re: #4, you should put the 2004 French quasi-documentary, “Happiness Is a Sad Song”, in your NetFlix queue…
Matty aka The One: Interesting reflections there, my friend. Honesty is a moral compass to guide us in our lives. As long as you’ve been forthright and kept an open line of communication with said woman from the beginning of your relationship, you should not feel guilty for trying to kick her out (I mean hey, you tried the subtle approach, right?; but when she doesn’t get the hint from the ‘you want me to call you a cab’ gestures, sometimes you just have to put on that ice cold…). Anyway, if p-i-m-p-ology lessons are correctly followed through, said woman shouldn’t be frustrated when you request some “me time”. Are you living by the rules a la Ma$e? “Number one, you control the situation, you get in their head before you…” Pause.
In response to Matt:
1. Nope, I think it's fine. Although after a series of events where you says "I'm tired" and she sits there looking at you, and you finally kick her out, and she's suddenly frustrated...it's probably because she was waiting around awkwardly for you to make that move playboy...But if you gotta sleep...you gotta sleep.
2. Some people only here themselves...If someone ignored what was on your mind/feelings in the first place, they probably don't understand or even know what you were thinking anyway, now they are just mad because they are in a relationship with someone they didn't like in the first place and should have listened to.
3. It can be annoying...sometimes I like the girl to take control... are we talking about relationships or relations?
4. No, this is about your usual amount of reflection for conversations.
5. I can't put $5 on the six-pack, but I can put $5 on the deuce (math will get you fucked up right?)
