Hang it up

Hang it up

I’m all for trying your best and being all you can be. I firmly believe that one must get and keep an optimistic I’m a winner mentality to succeed in life; but one must also accept one’s weaknesses. Sometime you got to keep it real with yourself and say hey I gave it a shot and you know what I think it’s just not in the cards for me to do this.  

Yeah you got to know when to chalk it the game sometimes and accept an L.  Everybody has hang –ups and short comings in life. When faced with your hang ups hang it up and let it dry.  Having said that here’s a list of scenarios in which a person should definitely hang it up.

Hang it up if you are an x gamer and have been doing stupid stunts on skateboards and bikes for nearly a decade and you’re not on any professional teams or have any commercial endorsement deals. Hang it up bro it’s not in the cards for you to be a daredevil. All you’re going to end up doing is becoming a paraplegic.

Hang it up if you love clubbing but you can only go to clubs that don’t have a one drink minimum or a cover charge. Um you probably can’t afford to go out every single weekend either. You most likely wear the same damn outfit every time you do go out. You can’t by the bar, hell you probably can’t pop one bottle of some cheap shit.  You can’t make it rain, you can’t afford a VIP section, you can’t parking lot pimp, you can’t by a wing basket or a shrimp basket. Hang it up. Buy a bottle of knock off Ciroc call some friends over to play some bones and spades. Don’t go out to the club! Hang it up.

Hang it up if you want to be a singer but can’t sing a lick.  When you sing do people bite their bottom lip? When you sing do people roll their eyes or stop you before you get to the bridge of the song? Are you in a choir? Have you ever won a talent show? If you can answer yes to the first two and no to the last two guess what. Yo ass can’t sing! If you’re in the single digits, preteens, late teens and early twenties you might get better in time. If your beyond that age just hum or sing in the shower because all the voice lessons in the world aint going to help you. Don’t sing because you can’t!
 hang it up!

Hang it up if you love the idea of finding that special one and being in love if you’re a nympho. If every story you tell involves people making out, clothes coming off or some type sexual act or some type of misogyny then hate to bust your bubble but you’re a horny mof. If you can’t control your sexual urges you’re never going to be in a healthy relationship. You need medicine, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Jehovah,  JAH,... all of em. . Maybe losing your porn collection might help out too. A steady relationship just aint in the cards for you. Move to Cali and pursue a career in the adult film industry, but for the most part hang it up!

Hang it up if your over 40 years old and your still gang banging. If your lieutenants are your teenage sons and nephews in their twenties. You might be past your prime.  You need to take that do rag off, pull your pants up, pull that one pant leg down, and quit making an ass out of yourself.  If you approach a woman in the night club and say hey baby girl let me holla at cha to get her attention,you might be living in the past. If you have grey hair and still wear French braids, or Indian braids hang it the fuck up! Your tour of duty is officially over OG. You need to quit hangn out with them babies and grow the hell up.  You need to join a lodge and do some old guy shit.

Hang it up if you hail from another country and don’t write, speak, read, or understand your native tongue. Especailly if you’re Asian or Latino WTF. I know the American culture is pretty amazing. We got McDonalds, stove top mac n cheese, American Idol, and MTV but damn it if everybody in your family speaks your native tongue and you’re the only one that doesn’t you might as well hang it up and just say you're Caucasian because you suck at representing your nationality.  Seriously!

Hang it up if you’re a blogger and all you do is blog about celebrities on your blog. Um newsflash them mof got money. If their famous and on TV their probably getting paid. They don’t give two shits about you trashing them in your timeline on twitter, especially if they drive an Aston Martin.  You’re wasting your time. Get some fresh air and a life.

Well can’t talk about everybody else without talking about myself. I’m black and live in Iowa, I’m under six feet tall, I’m middle aged with no children, I’m chunky, and my hair is starting to thin. I’m trying to make a love connection with a 22 year old chick that lives 3 states away from me that I met on a social network.  Yup. I hung it up aloooong time ago.
Life's a crap shoot and you have to take a chance to win. but when you gamble you also got to know when the cash the chips in.

Racist or idiot?

It has been several a weeks since the senseless death of a seventeen year old youth by the name of Trevon Martin. The African American community in Florida is outraged and wants immediate justice.  Many people that have heard about the story of his unfortunate demise and say that there was no warrant for that type of force to be used against that young man. The neighborhood that the tragedy took place was a safe one and no gun violence ever occurred there.

The burning question is did race or just plain old stupidity play a role in his death. It’s increasingly becoming common for black males to lose their lives at an early age due to gun violence in America. The Usual prescriptions for gun violence include law enforcement, gang activity, accidental weapon discharge, and domestic disputes. None of these are a factor surrounding Trevon’s death.

He was gunned down by a self-appointed neighborhood watch official. The key word is self.  Who asked this guy to patrol the neighborhood?  Who told him he could be a block captain? Nobody Told George  Zimmeramn to defend that block. Zimmerman was acting under his own free will. He created this entire situation for nothing.  Everybody wants to know if Zimmerman would have shot Martin if he were a white teen wearing a hoodie. Since when did wearing a sports hoodie become grounds to shoot someone? I personally feel that race played a role in it but I also believe idiocy played a bigger role. Guns don’t kill people. Stupid mof’s with guns kill people.  Did you see Zimmerman’s mug shot? He looks like genius huh? (not)

I believe justice will be served. I’m just afraid that it might not be served quick enough. I’m really afraid that there might be a riot if immediate justice is not served. One thing that my people have proven time and time again is that we will rise up in a fiery anger if we are treated unjustly.  I hope people can just keep their cool and keep in mind that the wheels of justice turn very slowly. There are people incarcerated right now and are contemplating pleading out to lesser charges for a crime that they did not commit in the first place just in hopes of seeing the light of day again before they get too old to enjoy it.

This is my blog and that’s my opinion.

 I’m dying to hear opinion.   Leave your comment on  the comments section of my blog and remember; If Hallzies not bloggn about it’s not blog worthy!

World Star flatlines

The infamous World Star hip Hop site has recently been decommissioned.  That’s right World Star got shut down.  If you liked the content on World Star then you’ll have to go elsewhere to view such videos.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with World Star Hip Hop I’ll try my best to break down the site. World star is like a bootlegged version of YouTube.   Some of the vids posted on there are satirical skits and other video clips contain African Americans getting filmed in compromising positions. They have everything to gang fights, to people jonesing(playing the dozens, ranking, dissn etc.) on each other to family dysfunction. They also have rap beefs, celebrity gossip, and UMM… I don’t know what to call people like her but Kat Stacks. (Skeezer See older post on Hallzies blogs for definition)

Many African American leaders and  celebrities  rejoiced about the site being shut down. They said media outlets like that are tarring apart all the accomplishments and progress the African American community has made as a people. They say that the images and content on media outlets such as World Star depict a negative image of African Americans and perpetuate stereotypes. Hip Hop artist say that the site has nothing what’s so ever to do with the art form and is a mockery and disgrace to Hip Hop.

I have been guilty of indulging in World Star Hip Hop vids from time to time and yes as an African American male I’m a little ashamed of myself for finding amassment in some of the disturbing imagery on that site. However, isn’t it just as retrogressive to tune into radio shows that instigate and encourage on air rants? Isn’t wrong to watch movies and listen to music that advocates ignorance and violence?

Well we can go back and forth on what’s wrong and right but the bottom line is money. That’s right. Money. The green stuff.  There is a market for tripe like that. The only way to combat things like that is to not support it.  You don’t buy they can’t sell. It’s that simple.  Don’t subscribe or thumbs up or file share it.

So whose fault is it that content like that exists in the first place? It’s not the white man’s fault on this one. That’s our people acting a fool like that.  That’s our entertainers in rare form on shows like that.  The responsibility to not have that type of content falls on us. Shutting down World Star isn’t a triumph it’s just an eye opener for how out of control were getting as a people. It’s like anything goes now. There’s no such thing as the word no, Saying no comment in interviews ….you might as well be speaking in Greek cause nobody gets it.

Well I’m all commented out on this topic but feel free to leave me your comments.

As Always: No Celebrity gossip, just real talk on my blog.

Talk about an elephant in the room

 Talk about an elephant in the room. Barack Obama is hands down the most disrespected president in American history. Sure some of his policies are a little shady and he didn’t live up to more than half of his campaign promises, but in the world of politics who really ever does? The thing that gets me about the disrespect is that most of the people that disresect him  claim that race isn’t a factor.

I say yeah right . Matters of race are like substance abuse problems. One must admit the problem exists before it can get resolved.  Americans get outraged when people of color speak out on behalf of Barack. Then they question their motives on why they voted for him in the first place. I don’t know a whole lot about the world of politics but can somebody please answer the following questions for me.

 Is it a common political practice to yell at the president of the United States in public? (Jan Brewer)

How many days should a president be referred to as president elect after being sworn into the White House?

Is it acceptable behavior to call the president of The United States a Liar in a press conference? (Joe Wilson)

Has any president in in the American history of politics ever had to be subjected to a progress report reflecting the number of campaign promises they kept after being elected?

Has any other president of the United States received produce?

 (watermelon email?)

I don’t know about the rest of all you guys out there in blog land but these things seem a little rhymes with spacial to me.

If I’m jumping the gun on this please feel free to enlighten me.

Not Blog worthy

5 things that are not blog worthy

#5. The cinnamon challenge.

 How freakn bored was the person that thought up this dumb challenge? Hmm I'm bored I think I'll try and eat a tablespoon of cinnamon. FOH!


#4 Twitter beef.

 Ok, First off what happend to just pubically telling someone that you don't like them? Why would you get on twitter just to blast someone else or call them out? That's not blogworthy at all that's really just cowardly.



#3 Video Skeezers:

 If you were born in the late 80's or the 90's you might not know what this term means. I'll try to do my best to break it down. It's 80's slang for groupie.It also reffers to a woman out for monitary rewards such as money, hair and nails, clothes,car, drugs, liquor etc. in exchange for sexual relations. Skeezers are very similar to prostitutes except for one key factor. A prostitute only cares about getting paid for their services. They don't want to socialize or be seen with the John(person paying for sex) after the date is over. They also don't care about the John's popularity or social standing in life. However, with a skeezer bragging rights are just as important as the money. The John must be a famous celeb or baller.(a popular and wealthy drug dealer)  They want the world to know they have slept with an important person, because they want to feel as glamorous and  important as the person they've slept with. After a skeezer's date is over they linger and go out of their way to be seen with and socialize with the John. 
I felt that I had to resurrect the phrase skeezer for this blog piece because that term describes woman like that so well.  These f*#ck'n  skeezers are writting books, starting youtube accounts,  and blogging about all the celebrites that they have skeezed with. Skeezkers are not blog worthy at all. The only thing their doing is making it hard for females that are actually trying to do something  positive with themselves and earn an honest living dancing in videos, I'm not knocking a skeezer's hustle but their recieving way too much free press for spitting venom and semen on celebs.  Damn skeezers!


#2Pets.

 No lengthy reson behind this one. I don't own any pets. Nothing against people that do but in my opinion reading about them is boring and a little creepy.


#1 Celebrity gossip:

 I myself have been sucked into reading smutty dribble. With all the natural disaters, money problems, and social issues pleauging the world today, who wore what on the red carpet should be the least of an individuals concerns. While your worried about what their doing I guarentee they'll never even know you exist. Unless you work for a widely read magazine or media outlet your opinion is not important. Those famous people you love to rag on and gossip about are living life and enjoying the fruits of their hard labor. They have a life. You should try getting one. If your reading or following my blogs you can't say get a life to me because I don''t do celebrity gossip on my blog. If I refference a celebrity it's in a positive or or just as a colorful euphamism or purely saterical. On Hallzie's blog you'll read about personl gripes I have, clever observations, real talk and real life. When you start your own blog you can blog about whatever turns you on. All those things
I named don't intrest me in the least.
