I have people who… at a party will in general think it’s best to control me. Fuck you.

That said I wanted to update you about the U.S.: weather looks okay. High storm warnings for the north region. The economy is still in the shitter.

I have to drive home today and have a garage sale to fix my finances.

Have a good one,
Trav

I totally love this show. I can’t get enough of it. Not only do I love Hip Hop and bboying, but this is something I really want to cover. So rather than starting a whole nother blog for that topic I will just spend the next 3 hours mirroring videos and content of the best shows on the net. That’s right, tons and tons more content. Sounds good right? Well it is; if you like what you see I will be opening a merchandise store soon as well.

Best,
Travis

Didn’t think about what my parents thought about my work/
Didn’t think about what my thoughts thought of you; bizzerk/
Know if she bomb enough I’ll creep up and spit some game/
Got the skill to try to chop up a Mannie Fresh beat, got the skills to scoop it off the street/
Lookin at her hips I see her doin it like a Brazillian, Sorry ma ain’t got time, tryin to stack a million/
A billion page views? Ain’t shit I gotta get to the pit, mosh up the product, keep it legit/
Maybe my lyics suck like a vacuum, but maybe yours are worse/
She looked good but the purse looked better, good enough for a moan/
Samples piled up in my MPC, gotta get to the next XYZ/
Aspire to be a DJ, get up into a three way, can you shake it this way?
Are you down to be a freak girl? Or are you a church girl
Got enough time to stay up all night, thinkin about an all night flight/
Maybe not tonight I’ll have the thoughts that will bring in the cash/
Until that I might just type, might just crash
Worldwide, will I slide or just glide into learning?
I don’t really care, I hear the bass booming, the future looming

Thinking about what to write
On the way to six figures
I see her shape, a slim figure
Bass thumpin, trunk knockin
Speedin, got the hoes jockin
100MPH ain’t doin no stoppin
Pump the shotty, recline the kit
Got my hourly pay goin up so you know i’m the shit
Writing, my sites goin up in the charts
Need my money like a money shark
Can’t read my mind, I’m a lebra
Changing stripes kinda like zebra
Yeeinknow bout ya boy from Houston?
Keep them hoes wantin ta fuck like a cushion
I ain’t got time for luggage, I’m pushin
Got the screens on deck like smoke and mirrors
Reflect off ya face like glasses at palm beach
Can’t get to me cuz I’m high, far out of reach

That’s the question. There is not real answer to finding people that aren’t trying to be someone they are not. If you are a drug user or addict. You are an addict. If you are trying to kill yourself, then I would suggest you don’t. There are many things that people do without even recognizing that they do them. Are you trying to be someone who you are not? Are you buying expensive clothes so that people will look at you? Think about your daily habits and where you spend your money if you want to save money. Mad about gas prices? Walk to work. Can’t stand drinking water? Find your own. Never climbed a mountain? Do it.

My point here is that if there is something you want to do but cannot afford to, don’t do it. Find your niche and make money. Invest that money in smart venues. But don’t blow your money unless you can afford to.

Ford stays open after it opens a new plant today; that is good news for the government and other car buyers who have fords and not imports. Cisco announced a new product today, which is good news for stockholders of CSCO. Seeing the market dominance of flash memory, Intel made a deal today involving flash memory. Also good news if you own INTL stock.

Apparently, according to Google Finance, they (Intel) have created their own company just for flash memory.

Most markets and industrys are up today, at 3:53PM PST.

CWCO is up about +1. Utilities and commodities are still doing fine. More to come.
