My Christmas Wish List...

Since I graduated highschool and left my teenage years alone, I've NEVER received a christmas gift I liked and I've ALWAYS been stiffed by a significant other/girlfriend with the 'el cheapo' or the 'I'm sorry, it's been a rough year' aka NO GIFT. Sad but I don't hold it against any of them (except that one girl I bought a gift and she never even accepted it...or was it two girls? Or wait was it 5?)
Anywho...if I had a wish list with no limitations, and Santa was Bill Gates or someone, then I'd probably ask for these:

Dolce and Gabbana Limited Edition Swarvoski Crystal Ski Mask

Gyroscopic Helicopter

Louis Vuitton Damier Keep All 60

Cannon SLR EOS 7D HD Camera

Yeah I can do some damage with all the above.....

Big Sean - Crazy and some more ishh....

So I used to date this girl named Shesha Bobbitt who was crazier than a long haired loon. Close friends always asked why I neva wrote a song bout her. Well I just did. Had to change the title to Lorena Bobbitt whom is a chic that cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt's penis. They were from Buffalo NY (where me and my... family used to reside) and the incident happened in Manassass VA. Anyways this video is a rendition of some things that transpired between us! LOL Big Shouts to BIG SEAN.... here is a link to the real Lorena Bobbitt Story

He's Just Not That Into You or not...

My home girl Pussy (yes that's her "REAL" nickname) said I had to watch this movie. I'm getting to that age where I'm ready to settle down. So fellas learn how to NOT give these signs off because it can be detrimental to a relationship. But of course when you deal with a chic that gives you these signs...then begin the fade to black process, let her roam free and do your thing.

Home-Online-Jobs.org is a SCAM

STAY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR AWAY from this scam... I did it to investigate oh don't worry....my $49.99 is on it's way back lol. Do NOT go to this address: www.home-online-jobs.org I didn't even link it because I really don't want you to go there.

What's YOUR MVP (Most Valuable Proposition)

This is a great Video about a marketing concept called most valuable proposition (MVP). It's very intuitive and explains how to create your own MVP that helps you stand out from competition. Click the ring to view the video and check out the script below:

KEITH ROSEN: Here’s an interesting statistic: 99.99% of every person DNA on this planet is exactly the same. It’s only that last .01% that actually makes us unique. So, think about what makes you unique when it comes to your competition. Unfortunately, saying that you have a great product, service, warranty or guarantee—it’s no longer enough and in actuality it reinforces the similarities between you and your competition. So, what can you say that will make you sound different and unique that will separate you from the rest of the pack? It’s by creating your MVP, also known as your most valuable proposition.

(voiceover continues) What’s the MVP Focus?
-Product
-Service
-Feature
-Warranty
-Unique Customers
-Unique Staff
An MVP can be either a unique product, service, feature, warranty, something unique in your customers, something unique in your staff or employees that no one else can claim or virtually no other company can claim. To trigger your creativity and develop your MVP, here’s one thing you can do: exploit the obvious. Think back on the days of Domino’s Pizza when they said, “30 minutes or less or it’s free.” Well I’m sure at that point there were lots of other pizza places that were delivering pizzas in 30 minutes or less. However, Domino’s took that concept and exploited something that was so obvious, turned it into a marketing vehicle that made them one of the most successful franchises in the world. The other day I was sitting in an airport and I looked at one of the advertisements in the airport lobby and it said, “Four out of five of the world’s largest banks run Oracle Software.” Talk about something unique that no other company can claim, that’s what I’m referring to when I say, “exploit the obvious.” So, take the time to think about what you’re currently doing that you might take for granted of. As I mentioned before, maybe you have an exclusive client list. Do you offer something like a fair price assurance where you can guarantee on delivery? How about on something that no one else can deliver? For example, one of the manufactures out there of vinyl replacement windows is a company by the name of Traco. Now, when you pick up Traco’s brochure, it has a picture of the statue of liberty’s crown. Why? Because Traco was the one that was commissioned to replace all of the windows in the head of the statue of liberty. Can anyone else claim that? No. Is it something unique and different? Absolutely. So, take some time to think about what you can offer that sounds different and unique so that when you leave a prospect or walk away from a meeting they’re going sit there saying, “Well, gee, I’ve never heard that before.”

TSA - This is Seriously Asinine (get it TSA? lol)

Ok I know I've been quiet for a while but I'll update you on EVERYTHING I've been doing....everything...but first this:

Kanye West - Runaway (Full-length Clean)

Love him or Hate him...this man is a genius.

Club 24 Police excessive force. With A-Squad and Tokyo Boyz watching.

Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow (OFFICIAL VIDEO) Rostrum/Atlantic

I like this song a lot....no lie

Young Alpha - E.E.M.M, PROMO

Young Alpha aka Logo gives a teaser for his new track Estes Es Mi Mundo by the way...this was self directed

Carty-Yeah - Purp Purp (La La) - Produced By Johny 5

One of the most talented rappers on earth has to be Carty Yeah...and I know him personally. He's been rapping and singing before Drake was even thought of....do your research. Google him as they say and enjoy this Track produced by Johny 5 called Purp Purp (La La)

You-you-you-you already knooooooooooooowww

Chalant - Get it On feat. King Kan

This track is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire....and I'm not just saying that because I'm on it.

Onto the Next one.

Sometimes you gotta cut the fat in order to stay lean. Working it out just makes you sweat. This is the case with a close one. You ever had a friend, or partner or loved one, or even notion that just didn't quite 'cut the mustard?' Didn't make it to the next level. Perhaps you thought it was you, when all along it was them? And what happens....they give up on you? Or, instead, they stick around...suck the life outta you, until you tighten up your boot straps and kick them to the side street, cuz you still want to keep an eye on them.

Other times still, you want to just dissolve the connection and keep it moving, without looking back. 9 times out of 10, that's the least followed route, and probably the most important way to carry on. My advice; quell the past and move on to the next one!

50 Tyson- "I Aint Gonna Lie" OFFICIAL VIDEO (Feat. T-Jeezy & Nerdy Star)

Anything is possible! Big shout out to 50 Tyson who suffers from autism. At first I was skeptical about the producers of the track because I felt that they were trying to make money off of him, but at least they created some awareness go to AutismSpeaks.org to donate and learn more about Autism.

Ain't no party like a King Kan party cuz a King Kan party don't stop!

My Sexy Charm included......lol!

Legato Pryce feat Ihsan Bilal "No One" now on iTunes

You should click the pic above to go purchase it from iTunes for less than the cost of a pack of Trident gum....yeah you should do that like RIGHT now

=)

She bangs, she bangs....

I had to make a quick entry about one of my most FAVORITE things a woman can do to her hair...and that's get bangs. I don't know if it's the connotation behind the word BANG or the fact that it's subtle yet sexy ambiance is delivered by cutting away major portions of the frontal part of your hair.

Whatever it is, I have a super soft spot for a woman with bangs and a nice smile especially if she has a great attitude to match it ....

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Naomi Campbell unveils Louis Vuitton World Cup trophy

Amidst all the machismo and predominately male dominated ambiance of the world cup, comes a subtle air of savoir faire for fashion within the sport...it actually surprised me when I found out that my absolute most favorite fashion house of ALL time Louis Vuitton, had constructed the official carrying case for the World Cup trophy...amazing. Even more so amazing to me was that Naomi Campbell was chosen to unveil it and be the spokesmodel for this event. Special plug for one of the models I manage: Rea Kim whom would expand and incorporate fashion with life in such instances as the aforementioned.

Producer Bangladesh Blasts Cash Money

Artists and owners of intellectual property need to take heed to situations like this. They arise often. Protect your art and your craft.

I think Waka had the best verse LOL "...A, B, C, D, E, F, G..."

Dangerous Life.

Sometimes you gotta live on the edge, take that chance. Jump that cliff, dive in that deep end, play chicken with that opponent, shoot blindly.

In the two-way relationship of life and death, love and hate, someone is always gonna come out the loser....no matter how you try, don't be the sucker and remember just like THEY are thinking they are out for self, you gotta switch modes and be out for YOURSELF. Because no one really is selfless in this world, nor do they put their 'all in' like they claim.

It's a Dangerous Life....and we all gotta live in it, but we don't gotta LIVE IT!

*Shout out to all the 'Dangerous' women out there that do all the wrong things, better get right before you wreck yourselves.

Fútbol Deporte Nacional

So recently I've been taking lessons doing the Meringue, Salsa and Bachata. Now this has inspired me to get even fancier and get my penguin suite out to do the Tango!!!

Been gone for a while, coming back with a JUMP OFF!

So I've been neglecting my blog as one of my very wonderful friends was telling me this morning. It's not done intentionally...a brother has been busy!



As I check the last entry, I see I completely forgot to mention my Avon Breast Cancer walk that I partook and completed in. I raised over $1,800 with the help of friends and family!

I have also neglected to mention several shows that myself and A-SQUAD my label, has been involved in.

That has been taking up most of my time, along with everything else I do in life. My priority has been the music, the artists that I work with. And the two beautiful models that I manage.

I also have to give a big shout out to the wonderful Friends and Family that I have, for ALWAYS supporting everything I do... I honestly have not a single complaint in life right now, and I'll continue to work hard to attain all of my goals, as well as the goals of the several men and women that I represent.

Before this year is over, I shall be making several toasts to the success of one or more of these talented people. So watch out for us and keep supporting...now let me get back to updating this blog.

HE'S BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!! "GUCCI!"

WOWWWWWWWWWW PEEPS THIS!!

It's Latin night out there (if you know me, you know I probably got more Latino friends than black or white friends) anyways Vanessa is notorious for coppin' at least 3 Ciroc bottles, and sharing them with the crowd....and buying 3 bottles of Rose....but she never drinks those...as a matter of fact, NO ONE drinks them...she sprays those bottles on everyone and everything!!!! AKA Champagne Showers lol

Clothes, Cars and Carousels should not fool you. I had to let those people that do all they can to boost their ego to no avail know that there is an ugly bi-product that is produced when they do all they can to look good in the public eye. Majority of them remain genuinely unhappy, use people and abuse the luxuries of life for personal gain.

The shirt sums up what I think of these people....I am selling them for $1,000 a pop to these same people...but they'll never get it....this went over their heads. I promise you lol

SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME NOT...AGAIN!

"...Shake and Bake Ricky Bobby..." I mean Ricky Butler

This is just one of many vids of my boy Ricky Butler. He's a creative, comedian, impressionist, actor, singer/rapper (I'm telling you!) and humanitarian all rolled in one! Make sure you check out his website that contains everything you need to know about him. He's constantly making a name for himself...so check him out and show some support.

My Momma warned me about women like this...

This chic is disturbed...rumored to be educated, but disturbed. I've met some in my life...run into them everyday almost. They just aren't as vocal LOL.

Fellas be warned. RUN. There are plenty women, other than these. North America is but one continent out of 7.


Have a great weekend.


Disclaimer:

It's a 58 min video but it's worth to listen to her confused ranting so you can know the difference between B.S. and Creativity.

Hagover, and over and over again...

So I finally watched this movie the other day on the 62" (it doesn't compare to the really big screen, but oh well good company) And I must say, I'm happy for you, and I'ma let you finish, but this would have to be one of my favorite comedic movies of all time....of ALL time... (KanYe West reference) lol.

Now THAT's a crumpet!

Eat your heart out....I'm going to LONDON BAYBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Talk about 'tongue twisted'

Evidently it's a new trend in bod modifications........
Great.....I'll stick to tattoo's and sane piercings thanks. LOL

Side note....I could think of a couple of chics that this could benefit....lol

This is how you jump into something...who needs a 'chute?

So the scene is Russia in a snowy apt complex or dorm. And some students decided it'd be cool to free fall from a 5 story building...till the cops came and nabbed one...

We totally could've done this here in the D.C. Metro area during the Blizzard...I would've so jumped...............

yeah right.

Maybe.

Dirty Paper with Dead Presidents

That's what I really think about money...It doesn't hold any value to me...and that's the same thing this guy thought apparentaly...well almost similar. He gave away ALL his money because it didn't mean happiness to him. I wish everyone could find a man, or woman out there that thinks like this. That's how I think. Not too long ago, I met with some friends about music and the question arose about what we were all in it for, everyone said the money...everyone except King Kan of course. I said eff the money, I just want people to hear me and be moved by my music.

I can't wait to get ridiculous amounts of money, so that I can show how much it really means nothing to me.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, everyone is different but in God I trust...

So it's Wednesday February 17th, 2010 and thus begins the season of Lent in the Christian Faith. One of the most prevalent characteristics of this religious season is the giving up of a substantial sacrifice in memory of Jesus giving up His life for the forgiveness of man's sins.

I personally in the past have given up sex, food items, even drinking nothing but water (that actually did wonders for my already healthy body). This year I am going to try my best and delve into a BIG sacrifice..... shopping.

I'm the only straight man I know that spends more time in a mall than a woman, and who loves to shop more than women. I really really love shopping! It's a well known fact. So we'll see....

ooooooooooooor I may just give up seafood....

Ladies....was this neccessary? From Russia with NO Love

Found this on worldstarhiphop.com this is how black men get misrepresented in the U.S.A.

Thanks ladies for slandering the good guys...that's why our preferences shift shades....I'm just saying.....

Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) (Available on ULTRA MIX 2 NOW!) OFFICIAL VIDEO

In the midst of the Blizzard of 2010 that we are having here in MD, DC and VA and some parts of PA , DE and WV I can't help but to wish I was in Miami, my 2nd home listening to some Reggeaton and sipping on some cold beverage.

Enjoy this video that puts me in the mood....

Calle Ochco... I will see you soon.....

RUMBA!

Subliminal Criminal..... He stole her heart....

This is how you lame (expletive) dudes need to get innovative in asking that woman that you've been courting for 3+ months out..... Let her know in all subtlety..... You wanna be her man:





Take a hint from the purveyors of peace, love and trees (LOL)

Ahhh, very nice! Yahhh!

So there are very few things that will make me stop and do a double take on a woman (believe it or not) ESPECIALLY if I am with another woman...and that's if I smell the scent of the above perfume. It's called 'light blue' by Dolce & Gabbanna, the famous Italian luxury fashion house.

It was created by Oliver Cresp in 2001 and has been a revered favorite amongst clientele and renowned perfumers alike. It has a crisp amber base accentuated with fruity tones that stay true to it's scent even after a long work day.

I absolutely LOVE it on women and I think it is one of my favorite along with Narciso Rodriguez and Balenciaga Paris. Yeah It's like that....

Damn that Ground Hog

So I'm sitting here at my computer wondering what I'm going to do with myself as potentially 20 inches of that white cold fluffy stuff comes burgeoning down the east coast. Well while some are shacking up with their secret someone's, or leaving the area for the perfect hot spot retreat, or even better yet just catching up on some alone time...I'll be out and about. Yes out and about (L.O.L.) and in my haste I have made yet ANOTHER purchase that may have been the most random and spontaneous ever...but who cares. I copped me a Moncler jacket. I've always wanted one, but was never too thrilled about the heavy price tag it came with. Until I had to iterate what I already know...I'm a pretty savvy and highly resourceful man. I am supposed to let nothing but the best touch my skin...that's why so many have come close but no cigar (and I ain't talking flesh neither lol)

The above Branson Jacket is what I expect in 5 biz days (hopefully)

look out for the fake one's below. Also here is a write up of how to spot a fake:

Can you smell what the KING is cooking?

So I'm re-visiting a scent I flirted with about 2 years ago: Creed It was introduced exclusively at Nordstrom, and eventually spread out to other Tier one type establishments that were fit enought to carry the brand. I fell in love with the scent, not the price, but today I embark on a journey to purchase my favorite selections of creed shown below. Compulsive shopping is a mo-fo....

CREED Imperial Millesime

CREED Silver Mountain Water

CREED Green Irish Tweed

CREED Virgin Island Water

Don't Ask, Don't Tell.......... Makes me wanna GAG!

Don't take that the wrong way. In essence, I support the notion to repeal the aforementioned mandate sanctioned way back in 1993 by President Clinton which was formed as a step towards systematic acceptance of LGBT's in the Armed Forces.

It was one of the items brought up during the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. I said I wasn't going to do a review of the actual address, as every Tom, Dick and Harry has their say in it, so I decided to touch on some of the issues that were roused up.
The repeal is an even better way to say "Hey we accept you as the humans that you are, and your right to serve openly in the army with or without your sexual orientation disclosed"

I personally don't see the big deal in why the repeal should not be granted, just as long as LGBT community and everyone else respect each other's rights and laws.


On a side note...it's kinda like relationships that don't work out with that whole don't ask don't tell B.S. You know, you never get an answer if you weren't 'asked' for it. So how would one know what to ask for without potentially crossing a line for asking? Food for thought, perhaps for a more in depth blog on that topic, on a later date.


Meanwhile, you can find the article on hopes for a repeal at the link here.

Mariah Carey - Up Out My Face ft. Nicki Minaj

Nice video...you can hate all you want on either female, but you cannot deny their talent (LOL)

ha ha but yeah this is a potential anthem, I presume for the ladies...the title is very appropriate for girl vs. boy or even girl vs. girl beefs....

'...get up outta my faaaaaaaaaace...'

For Her....... LOL

All I know is Ball, Good....and (CONTEMPORARY CULT CLASSIC)

Okay so, there is no point in this really...it's something my boy Charles aka "Nard" sent to me out of the blue. I wonder how he'd feel if HIS dog "Rocko" was like hand banana...even though he's sorta off anyways!

LL COOL "HEY"- Liquid Leggins, not for members only.

So I've been noticing this trend of super shiny leggings since the latter part of fall of 2009. And lo' and behold it seemed to have exploded during the not so cold, not so warm days during the winter season. They are appropriately named Liquid Leggings. I personally love them on women, and compliment them, friend, family or fan all the time. I have heard a lot of women speak highly of them, and a few denounce them as tacky. But for the most part they just do a body GOOD!

Either way they are here to stay for a while. There is even a whole blog on leggings. So ladies Yay or Neigh? Fellas I think it's a yay all the way! :)

Help Heal Her ------> Haiti needs our help.

I usually don't like to post blogs about tragedies because the world is filled with enough bad news as it is, but I had to do so for this cause. As most should know by now, The country of Haiti experienced the greatest disaster of it's time on Tuesday. It was an earthquake that devastated the entire nation and subsequently the world! It registered at 7.0 on the Richter scale, which is Major, and had about 30+ aftershocks some of which were even higher! The death toll has unofficially been clocked at almost 100,000 or more. Truly sad.
More information on CNN.com

In every effort to support the cause I have done research on the best way to contribute for relief efforts and have found the site: Charity Watch to be helpful in your search , thanks to an old friend that works for the IRS who came up with the site.

Let's do all we can to educate ourselves about this tragedy and help in any way we can to support the Haitians and all affected.

"...Over and Out..." Roger!

So I saw a young girl playing with her baby sister or brother the other day and I couldn't help to wonder how exaggerated her/his crying was when their older sibling kept messing with them. Because 5 minutes later the baby was over it...whatever 'it' was.

Now as babies grow older, they are taught and 'programmed' certain doctrines into their life. Like how to talk and listen; how to laugh and cry; and of course how to love and hate. Ultimately these doctrines are all influenced by parental and environmental factors.

In the past, it would beget me as to why on earth it would take so long for a person to get over an incident, no matter how small in magnitude it was. As opposed to how GOD forgave the world of all it's sins combined, through Jesus.

And it hit me... it's just the way they were 'programmed'. And of course the other huge fact; they are not GOD.

So can they be de-programmed. Now I think that all depends on if they want to be or not.

To me it's like losing weight. Some people seem to do all they can to get rid of a few pounds and it never goes when they want it to, until some crisis comes along. Others, well others are open to change depending on their level of openess.

It's hard for a person so set in their ways to forgive or forget an issue or major inconvenience in their life. Weather it was via a person, place or thing.

Dwelling on that issue can be extremely detrimental for forward progress. There is only one other viable option in that case. When down and out and there is no way to deal with it... you are gonna have to shut up and do like the pic above says:

GET OVER IT

Time of the essence? Don't feel like wasting more...?

Give 'em a LIL' PUFF of.....

My 1st Poem

I think I posted this once but ehnn who cares here it is again:


It wasn't really about my shadow (Duhhh)


There through my brightest moments and my darkest plights

You ride with me by day, but seem parked at night

I know you are always there, sometimes real subtle

You've shared all my joy, and harbored all my troubles

Through the hardest thunder storms and lightening

Your presence has always been calm and inviting

But of late, after the rain and the morning mist

I have noticed my shadow, has a longer drift

Less meaning and heart like a shorter kiss

Unless I'm dreaming, my thoughts are missed

I used to stumble, you would soften my fall

Now when I trip, I feel you less, often, not at all

I would walk for days to a fork in the road

Then you brought me comfort, with the course that I chose

Now when I come to a trail and don't know the way

I cannot see you around; you have lingered down the lane

And now I feel a pain, it's soft but evident

My shadow has gone astray, yet it seems it never went

Omnipotent, omnidirectional, omnipresent

How something can be so obvious and yet not so apparent?

Perhaps I lose sight that no matter the outcome

You'll always be apart of me until my light's gone

Someone needs to see me....

HI!

Back to the Future.

So I tried to stay on the Music and Arts tip because some of the fellas said I was getting soft with all the relationship talk on the blog. But I had to come back to it again with a recent conversation I had with a friend. Like I stated earlier in a blog: a new year is equivalent to new beginnings, new endeavors etc. So revisiting things in the past can be immensly detrimental. (especially damaged projects, people, perspectives).

"But what if?"

Well, what if, what?

What if the moons, stars and the planets are perfectly aligned with each other, and all parameters were good, a fail-safe switched put in place and blah blah blah...what then?

Then you take a personal risk...amongst other things.

But ultimately it is up to you to make that decision. Do you want to risk going backwards and potentially wasting time and energy unless it is worth it?

When is it worth it? When it's something or someone you love and/or can't do without.

And how can you tell when you have a person like this. Here's a test:

If you can't stop thinking about a person, and almost everything you do or say or smells reminds you of them and if you think about them when you are with someone else, then one of two things must happen, you must get some sort of closure, or you still have intense subdued feelings for them.

Some Scenarios:

Maybe an ex that ended up in Jail, or relocated for some reason (job, new relationship, change)....maybe they evolved ways while locked up or while removed from what he/she knew from before.

Or maybe a daughter that was super wild and out of control....maybe she went into the army, went overseas and shaped her act up.

Or maybe it's an idea you had for a businuess... couldn't get the backers or investors you needed because you didn't have the right knowledge at the time....maybe you went and studied and hired resources that helped gain investors etc

All the above are scenarios of "what if's" on the positive end for you...

But what if it's too late?

I for one never like to rush into things because you never want to get stuck with something you are not prepared for. It's kinda like going into battle with the wrong type of resources and getting stomped or stuck (circa Vietnam and Afghanistan). I know some others that may rush because they feel that their time is running out, or that they have learnt from a previous relationship and that they are capable to figure indescrepancies out. But it's not always the case.

I say, once again never assume (refer back to this blog).

At the end of the day, you're going to have to do what's right for you because if you don't love yourself or treat yourself the way you want to be loved and treated, then the next man, woman or thing won't.

So, I say go back to the future (or the past lol) if it's divinely worth it. If not, keep your tunnel vision focused on a happier future and never turn back to what was lost in the past....cut off all ties.

A quote to live by: "It's easy to get lost, but very hard to find your way back"

That's why GOD is my map and guide. Cheers.

I hope this helps you ;)

Let me tickle your fancy.......MISS FANCIE to be exact!

"I am an interesting person. I'm not trying to be a DJ or Fashionista. Fashion allows me to dress up in my emotions. Music allows me to express myself in ways that words cannot define. I just want to share the things that I fancy in life!"


Those are the words of my good friend Ayana aka "Ms. Fancie". Ever wanted to discover art, music and fashion through the eyes of an individual with natural personality and substance, who knows what she's talking about (and looks good while doing it LOL). Well then that would be Ms. Fancie. Make sure you subscribe to her blog.... www.MissFancie.com

This is great read right here. Enjoy and thanks TC.


"Infidelity is complicated. There are now stages and categories of extramarital affairs and as you see on the news every week, things are starting to get messy. Even though it's been happening since the first relationship was created, "creeping" has now been brought from the shadows to the limelight. I refuse to contribute to anymore about the golf player who recently was "caught up," but his situation made me think, "Why do these ladies settle for being number 2?" The answer is complicated. Some of them don't see themselves as number two, some of them aren't even number 2, and some of them are just f*cking groupies. Let me break this down for you real quick:

A true "Number 2" is different from these random chickens who are out here tricking for Louboutins. A number 2 is someone who the married party actually has deep rooted feelings for. They could be their "soulmate," or "the one who got away." I know you're thinking, "Well if they are soulmates, why didn't they marry THEM?" You never know the reason for that; maybe they never got along, maybe other circumstances prevented them from tying the knot. A number 2 gets privileges, trips, gifts, and a long term contract. If something ever goes wrong in the marriage, the number two is next up, and ready to roll. Alicia Keys is a number two. Had poor Swizz Beatz calling Mashonda with the Harlem Nights quote: "Yeah, Mashonda, it's Swizzie. Yeah lookit, I ain't never coming home no more. Take it easy."

Not to be confused with the "Number 2," is the "jumpoff." Lots of ladies who creep with married men think they are 'Number 2's" or wish to be, but they aren't. See, jumpoffs don't get the same treatment as number 2's. They might get shoe/suit money here, rent money there, but they are only used for one thing. Some are used for sex, some are used as a trophy, and some are only called when the married party is in town for the weekend. Jumpoffs are the ones who will make the front page of the news when they realize that they will never become a number 2. Their frustration will cause them to suicide bomb their way into the media, telling on both themselves AND the married person they crept with. Number 2's have their own agenda, so this wouldn't even be an option for them. Those jumpoffs however, are independent contractors, and have nothing to lose.

In a perfect world, folks wouldn't be out here creeping in the first place, so none of this would even be an issue. But in a world of greed, deception, booty injections and Vigra, we have to put up with who is stepping out on who, with what, when, and for how long? And please don't think this is just about women who run the streets with married men, because trust and believe there are just as many women who have their number 2's and their jumpoffs as well! Their husbands might treat them well, but they are either swagless, broke, or their penis is teensy weensy. So to all of you "other women" out there, as you get ready to meet your married boo for a night of undercover fun, look in the mirror and ask yourself, which one are you? "
