Be my Joneses

Be my Joneses

 

It was said that it is not so much important as to what goes into your mouth but what comes out of it, which is a maker of your character.  A very good word historically used as a negative connotation is Joneses meaning basically neighbor.  It is a saying to “keep up with the Joneses.”  Suggesting that you be in competition with your next door neighbor, sort of like they by a fence and you buy a more expensive fence, they buy a car and you buy a better car.

 

But in actuality the term Joneses is a friendly and non competitive term.  I call on the Hip Hop community to replace the terms “Nigger” and “bitch” with “Joneses.”  I call on them to say in there songs “be my Joneses.”  Because like Rev. AL Sharpton said, you are what you say you are.

 

Let us bring back a community to raise a child mentality and be truly neighbors and not allow ourselves to just simply be victims on the system.  A change in mentality is in our grasp, we can determine our destiny, by changing how we speak and therefore changing how we think.

 

It is like the new Mafia is a non profit organization for the betterment of our communities and not a self destructives movement of surviving by any means, because we are packed in the projects like sardines.  We have to address our circumstances and the situations we are facing such as the expansion of prisons, wars around the world and the AIDS pandemic; single parenthood, illiteracy and the symbolically castrated Blackman?

 

As simple as it may seem, a major step in the right direction as a new greeting of camaraderie (Friendship) is to stop calling your brothers or sisters Niggers and bitches and say “that is my Joneses.”  I call on major Hip Hop community to introduce this concept into their culture.  Personally I really like some Hip Hop and Rap music, but I am embarrassed by it; I think the term Joneses will sell more records and allow the music to reach more homes.  At least consider it. And most importantly it would create a safer community and brotherly and sisterly love among our youth.

Is the Blessing from giving to others?

Is the Blessing from giving to others?

 

Up to now I have been a one man band, writing, composing and performing my music and songs, I have a screenplay with copyrights and another registered with the writers guild of America and now I am in the process of trying to find help as I help others.  The only expectations I have to satisfy are my own.  I worked with Janet Jackson for the last two years or year and a half vigorously and it was all games from as far back as the inception of my offering of services, so if my work got nowhere it was because I was depending on help from the wrong people, people who take and never give.  Janet has been very self seeking!

 

Now I am working with family and friends in my life today and not just promises and if something comes of my ideas great if not I enjoy thinking anyway, so I am doing what I like to do and that is come up with ideas and from the look of things more people should try to use them and I would get paid as a result of this.  But some people are set in there ways.

 

Nothing is written in stone and outcomes are yet to be settled with Chris Brown, everyone counted out Magic Johnson with HIV and he made a load of money as a result and is still kicking.  If Chris play ball he has an opportunity to get paid like he never dreamed of, can you imagine being a spokesperson and celebrity for the pharmaceutical industry, in the mental health industry?  These companies will get in line to get him to use their brand to promote their products.  We have a lot of sick kids out there sedating themselves with street drugs to not deal with emotional problems stemming from drug addicted parents to single parenthood, to abusive homes and violent communities to a age and time of war, the economic crisis and they are afraid and drug abuse is a reaction.  Chris has the power to change that through endorsements.

 

I need to help the right people for a change; instead of people who use my knowledge and never compensate me.  My next project may well be with the Underground Movement and it is in the process and again organizing projects is a pleasure to me, see what you fail to realize is I am doing things with my personal time that I will do for free, but I know I have value, my only problem is I help people who may not have my best interest at heart and not that I help people which is a good thing, like a young lady told me “if you do it for yourself you are selfish like them, but do it to help others.”  An open hand can receive!  I will never stop giving not all people are selfish users.

 

The Message of the Day

 

Your head may be full of wonderful ideas but what’s the point if you never do anything with them? That’s an observation rather than a criticism but deep down you know it’s time to turn inspiration into action. Aim high. Act now.

The Sun in Cancer at this time of year makes all things possible, so why are you trying to go back and change outcomes that have already occurred? Put the past out of your mind — it’s no longer of any importance.

Can Chris Brown come out of this like a Rose? How!

Can Chris Brown come out of this like a Rose?  How!

 

Chris Brown Should Plead Mental Disorder? A must read to understand the rhyme and reason o the scheme of things.

 

Once these requirements are successfully addressed and a diagnosis is made and for this article purposes I will say he is diagnosed as Bipolar, however I am not a psychiatrist or lawyer and cannot diagnose Chris or give him legal advice.  However from a business standpoint I can address the issue at hand.

 

Like a Rose:

 

Chris Brown is diagnosed as Bipolar Disorder; he has a history of emotional problems that is known; this was not just an episode.  This was a part of a character defeat according to his own mother, who thinks he is mentally ill.  True or not true he remembers his mother being physically abused.

 

His lawyer has to find a case to set precedent in his case that due to his mental condition the event is mitigated by the circumstance of his mental disorder.  Now he will have a wallet and some money still in it.

 

Next we have to address the endorsements he lost due to the event mitigated due to his mental disorder.  To do this his lawyer has to apply the Americans Disability Act of 1990, as Amended.  The question of law is:  Can they discriminate due to a disability and can he be stigmatized as a result of a mental disorder.

 

Finally, Chris Brown after therapy and with a new attitude can for example endorse ABILIFY by Bristol Myers Squibb, a medication for Bipolar Disorder.  Chris Brown can become what Magic Johnson is in HIV medications to the Mental Health pharmaceutical industry.  Kids with problems will no longer be ashamed of medications because Chris Brown takes them.  And an unfortunate and sad incident can ultimately save lives and help get our kids off of street drugs.

Chris Brown Should Plead Mental Disorder?

Chris Brown Should Plead Mental Disorder?

 

As we all heard Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assault against Rihanna, so the question is not do Rihanna win a civil lawsuit against Chris but for how much in damages will she receive.  In criminal court you have to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, while in civil court you have to be found guilty by a preponderance of evidence.  One being absolutely guilty while in civil court it is 50.11%.; he admitted to absolute guilt, why is beyond me?  Maybe he has a mental problem?

 

There are elements to a tort or in civil court a wrongful act that damages can be sought after by the injured party.

 

Rihanna has a strong case I suppose in my humble belief for a civil lawsuit for damages for both assault and battery.  Because he pleaded guilty to assault and all the evidence points to a clear case a battery in civil court and remember the level of proof is much lower than criminal court.

 

Assault:

An assault is the intentional putting of a person in reasonable apprehension of immediate harm.  It is an offer to do harm.

 

Battery:

A battery is the intended, unauthorized, and unprivileged touching of a person.  If the plaintiff provokes the battery, this can mitigate damages.

 

Problem:

How is Chris Brown going to convince the civil court where the level of evidence is a preponderance of evidence that he was provoked to batter Rihanna, when he already admitted to assault?

 

I think Chris Brown’s troubles just started, especially if he is hot headed, I mean five years of probation is not easy to complete to start with a small mistake in judgment can mean a violation.  Maybe he might be able to convince the court he is bipolar or something and is in need of medications.  He is in a bad situation anyway you look at it and a properly diagnosed mental condition might be his only way out.

 

Everyone is in agreement that he need help, the question is the level of help needed and the higher the level of help needed the better are his chance to come out of civil court with at least a wallet.

 

Chris Brown pleas Guilty & More

Chris Brown pleas Guilty & More

 

Chris Brown plea bargains to a felony and get no jail time, but was put on 5 years probation, 6 months of community service and must stay 50 yards away from Rihanna while on probation except at industry events whereby the distance will be reduced to 10 yards.  He has to spend 6 months in his hometown Virginia I guess to do his community service.

 

I think Chris Brown is very talented, not to take anything from Rihanna and he should really focus on staying out of trouble, because it is so easy to violate probations and end up doing time.  If I was his management considering the state of the music industry and economy I would get him into a couple of movies so he can eat, and make a couple of albums on the down low and wait until this blows over in about 4 or 5 years and explode in a big way, because from here on will be bad publicity every time they are in the same place, so why bother.  That said!

 

I am going to be honest half of my problem was my air conditioner was out of order that it was finally replaced and I sleep good not in a cooler apartment, not to say things said need not have been said, put often I am passive aggressive instead of assertive, then on occasions I am assertive, in the case of the recent past I was passive aggressive, because I over heated and called myself being humble suffering in silence until I could not handle anymore and that was the case with Janet also for a lot of years.  But I know I am n being held down and regulated because you think I will become very aggressive towards people I found offensive to me.  But it is always better to be assertive even if it means hurting someone’s feeling on occasion as Chris Brown duly proved in his aggressive act.

 

To be honest I am tired of this tit for tat bullshit with the so-called movers and shakers.  I am made to look like a fool and am getting nowhere fast.

 

Finally, I think we put together a really nice studio for my nephew and his crew; they just have to schedule studio time into their lives and go to work.  We have some setting up to do, but I think they have all the essential components to do quality work

 

Message of the Day

 

A Sun-Pluto opposition on your birthday means you will be at odds on a regular basis with people in positions of power. But that’s okay. You need to be tested as you will soon be in a position of power yourself.

Try not to spread yourself too thin today. You may think you can do it all but your body and your brain will regret it if you push yourself too hard. Focus only on what needs to be done — leave the rest for another day.

Chris Needs a Lawyer & Happy “B” Day Rihanna

Chris Needs a Lawyer & Happy “B” Day Rihanna

 

Happy Birthday Rihanna, I hate to say it but when Chris Brown beat you up you may have hit the Jackpot.  Chris Brown was a fool and is in camp stupid, he does not need a Publicist or someone for Damage Control unless he is a lawyer because he needs a lawyer and fast.  He does not need a criminal lawyer he needs to handle his civil lawsuit.  In criminal court it takes beyond a reasonable doubt to find him guilty, which may be hard to prove without an eyewitness, to crazy charges like attempted murder.

 

Chris Brown’s biggest nightmare will come in the form of a civil lawsuit whereby I predict he will be found guilty of assault and battery and not in criminal court for attempted murder due to the threat of killing her prior to committing battery and not attempted murder.  In civil court it takes a preponderance of evidence which is anything over 50% guilty in the jury pool. 

 

Now I am not a lawyer and as a paralegal I am aware of UPL (Unauthorized Practice of Law) so the best I can do is tell Chris he needs a lawyer, but cannot give him legal advice.  I mean Rihanna does not look like the picture of her on web anymore, how I know please do not ask but I do know for certain.  But it is undeniable that Chris Brown went way out of bounds and cause Rihanna damages and the only real damage control is probably an out of court settlement and that takes a lawyer and his professional advice.

 

Camp Rihanna is not stupid and knows that Brown’s career will benefit both parties in an out of court settlement that can prevent a criminal case and the bad publicity that will come with it.  I think Chris Brown’s only way out is an out of court settlement with Camp Rihanna.  Perhaps now a secret insurance policy might surface to settle this matter.  Happy Birthday Rihanna for walking away from an abusive relationship with millions and a few bruises that African SHEA butter will heal. 

 

Janet Jackson ends Professional Ties with Jermaine Dupri.

 

Regardless she should recover damages in civil court, from show cancellations to promotional outings missed, plus she was beat up badly, she will do well and get paid for getting out of a bad situation.  Now if Chris settles out of court, they can never have a relationship again, but she can publicly accept his apology and wish him well and not help with the investigation due to attorney advice and get a restraining order for a few years and make him pay for her bodyguard of her choice if within a certain distance say at a Grammy event or another award show.

 

 

The Ebony Latest Gossip Winds

The Ebony Latest Gossip Winds

 

Two strikes on the Ebony top 10 couples.  Chris Brown just beat down (Physically Assaulted) Rihanna and Janet dumped Jermaine Dupri over management problems so they say.  Tabloid love affairs are for publicity.  Now that Janet left Def Jam and JD got fired, we will see just how much love is involved.  I mean really and not for record company publicity!  I use to respect Ebony as a real magazine it is merely another tabloid. Now the question is does Rihanna have grounds for a civil suit against Christ Brown and her record company for putting her in this dangerous situation.  She just might have a huge pay day for the damages to her and her career and losses due to the assault.  It is said they told her to date him for publicity even after they broke up some two weeks ago.

 

 

I had to ask Janet what did Jermaine do to earn the honor, take her to a shoot out in Atlanta and vomit on her for his birthday and take a bunch of photos getting drunk, screwing up her tour.  Playing both sides against the middle with his negative blogs through his blogging network?  I could go on with this list from fake marriages to lust at first sight; I could have accepted this from Rolling Stone or the New York Post, but Ebony Magazine-Tabloid?  How do you even mention these dysfunctional relationships in the same Magazine as the Obama couple on the cover?  Is that all President Obama is to you is an entertainer?  You are an epitome of black people and the black community?  I use to think so, but not anymore.  Shame on Ebony!

 

Answer to the economic woes & the Celebrities role

Answer to the economic woes & the Celebrities role

Date: 11 February 2009

 

A Mars-Saturn aspect on your birthday will bring challenges to do with your wealth and your earning power over the coming 12 months, but it will also endow you with the energy and the ambition to turn those challenges into triumphs. You’re a winner.

You appear to believe that to win you must gamble, but that is asking for trouble. Saturn in your opposite sign of Virgo warns in no uncertain terms that you must steer clear of taking risks that are not absolutely necessary. So how many are necessary? None

First of all what does Ebony know about relationships:

Tabloid Love Affairs are Fake!

 

Chris Brown just beat down Rihanna and Janet dumped JD over management problems so they say.  Tabloid love affairs are for publicity.  Now that Janet left Def Jam and JD got fired, we will see just how much love is involved.  I mean really and not for record company publicity!  I use to respect Ebony as a real magazine it is merely another tabloid. Now the question is does Rihanna have ground for a civil suit against Christ Brown and her record company for putting her in this dangerous situation.  It is said they told her to date him for publicity even after they broke up some two weeks ago.

 

The economy:

I wrote a very important article about the economy and the only solution and in short; these are my instructions to America.  Buy American products and it will create jobs.  My are words to the President is he must create tariffs on imports to make American companies more competitive with cheap labor nations.  Please read this article by clicking this hyperlink and read the article and the comments because a reader brought it to my attention that I forgot the key to the solution which are tariffs.

The Stimulus Breakdown Legislation Hyperlink:

I do not gamble and why:

Let me tackle the idea that I think I must gamble; I do not gamble because I am programmed to lose, it was an agreement I made with John Gotti, that I did not just go to a casino and win a bunch of money to get me out of my rut.  We agreed was that it would have  been too easy for me to mind fuck the casino out of money.  As for the legalization of casinos these are administrative arrangements, the gamblers are the consumers and not the casino, all the games and machines are designed for the casino to come out ahead and after the cut is taken the residue is split by the customers.  Therefore whatever is needed by percentage it can be arranged to support the budget of New York City and New York State, it is a numbers operation and is really not a game because we already know the outcome.

The Legalization of marijuana is no gamble:

 

Again I do not use street drugs; I do not help sleeping as do all of my mother’s children my siblings.  But marijuana use is a matter of fact and is not going anywhere and is harmless compared to alcohol, tobacco and fire arms.  So why not add it to the Administration and tax it, it would pump billions of dollars into the tax revenues.  My only concern is how it is licensed to sell; it would not be fair to just give it to the same old people who have the liquor licenses based on background checks that are biased.

 

The Bottom line:

 

The bottom line is this today, add tariffs to imports to make them too expensive to not buy a American, legalize casinos in New York City making NYC the absolute tourist attraction and legalize marijuana and harvest the California crop and tax it and regulated it in the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fire arm and Marijuana.  That would be real change.

 

Also I mentioned that we should put the SACD on the market, this is move about creating new product lines.  We want people to buy but offer them nothing different but the same things computers and MP-3 players, we have to create new products and make the ones we sell last, you do not sell people stuff to break down or constantly upgrade them to keep people buying the same thing over and over and expect people to buy.  It is bad business and it is wrong.

 

That is why I want Janet as well as Michael Jackson to add SACD cuts on their albums to introduce the technology and I want technological experimentation sponsorship to introduce these technologies to the consumer. And I will go a step further, I own a DVD audio player built into my DVD player.  So why not build Blu Ray DVD that is a DVD Audio Player and a SACD Player to give the consumer all the options of playback.  There is enough music sold to be heard in all formats, being SACD, DVD Audio, CD, MP-3 and iPod.  Give people options and let the people decide what their personal standard is.  Also, I want P. Diddy and Michael to push for the legalization of casinos in New York City, this has to become news and not just my blog.  New Yorkers should be given a choice less health care or casinos.  These are the choices more taxes and less services or more product lines.
