The Killa is on his way out of town. I was about to do something I know my mother hates and that’s pack a bunch of dirty clothes that I was going to wash in the day before we headed to Mississippi. Instead, I’m in the middle of my second dry cycle for my jeans/button downs. It’s the little things.

Anyway man, I cannot WAIT to see my mom and dad and sisters! I mean for real, I don’t think I missed them this much during my FIRST year. I can’t wait to start cracking jokes! I can’t wait for that first bite of turkey and dressing. I can’t wait for that feeling that you get when you can’t eat another bite and you want to unbutton your pants and lay on the floor!

I need to get out of HERE more than anything else though, to be honest with you! Sooooo…..I’ll get back post Thanksgiving unless I get some computer access in the interim!

So last night me and the homie Eman went to the OLD SCHOOL Sunday night spot, the Beer Seller downtown. On nights when the Titans play out of town, they have a 2 for 1 special on Pitchers of ALL of their draft beers so why WOULDN’T I go there? Hmmmm????

So me and Eman are enjoying various beers, watching Ladainian Tomlinson SINGLEHANDEDLY win my matchup in the fantasy league that I’m the commish of, when in walks the local trivia guy.

I don’t know how many of you DON’T know, but back in my Morehouse days, I was a member of their very first National Championship Honda Campus All-Star Team. I am on point with the trivia!

So I sat anxiously, waiting for the guy to come by with the score sheets. I’d done local trivia before at another bar back in the day with Rodrell and a former friend. We did okay, we had the best team name “three black guys” and we came home with a few prizes.

Well I decided that last night me and Eman were going to top that performance, and BOY did we. We finished up the first round having only missed ONE question.

By the end, while we were VERY drunk, we ended up taking home the title! Fifty bucks in bar money (which will be spent on pitchers and jagerbombs surely), but more importantly, the shock and awe of the other ten teams in the place (with the exception of one dude, all white).

Eman is being modest about it, but we couldn’t have won without a few of his timely answers, like the Lemon joint.

All in all though, it’s nice to know that the Killa still has “the touch” (In a Marky Mark in Boogie Nights/Transformers the Movie kind of way)

First of all, thank you to everyone who showed some concern as I lay dying! I thought I was on my way out for a second there.

So Kanye West has done it again. Done what you asked? Opened his mouth and stuck his loafered foot into it.

In December’s issue of Essence Magazine Kanye is quoted to have extolled the virtues of misengenation, claiming that we wouldn’t have “video hoes” without it and then going further to refer to people of mixed heritage as “mutts”. Don’t worry though, says Kanye, it’s okay because that’s what “we” call them in the hood.

This is the last straw with this guy, I’ve absolutely had it man! You’d think that someone who’s had his jaw wired shut would value speech and thus think before doing it, but alas it doesn’t seem so.

I mean it was bad enough that he jumped on stage at an awards ceremony claiming that because his video cost a million dollars and it had Pam Anderson it should have won the award it was up for? Huh? So on those merits, Baywatch should have won an Emmy and Borat will SURELY win an Oscar (well….actually Borat SHOULD! Go see it if you haven’t!).

Kanye made one timely statement in his comment about Bush and Katrina, but it doesn’t give him carte blanche to make other ludicrous statements. Especially after his track record of making comments about the worth of a college education (just because you beat the odds doesn’t mean that’s the way for everyone or even the majority).

This dude’s arrogance is unchecked. I for one am sick of it. Get a grip Kanye!

I’m officially sick as hell here! Like I barely got out of bed to type this/make some tea sick. I took a packet of Theraflu and that helped a bit last night, but man, I’m over here in agony!

My fever isn’t that bad otherwise I’d walk up to the hospital.

Apparently Tyra Banks show today is about underwear and she’s going to be in her skivys the entire time. So for the first time in my life I’m going to watch her show as long as I can stand to. Who knew she was so annoying? Maybe I’ll watch it on mute!

Someone fed ex me some orange juice!

The Killa exercised his right to vote today in a steady rain. I went out with the homie Anya and went first to her precinct (mostly white) and then mine (mostly black). She had to wait in line a while, I did not….I kind of knew right then how the day would go for the candidate I supported, Harold Ford, Jr.

Still I held out a little bit of hope. I reasoned that even if Ford didn’t win, perhaps the House and MAYBE, just MAYBE the senate would go over to the Democrats (who I don’t FULLY support mind you, but they are better than the status quo). And yes, I still hoped that Ford would pull it out versus Corker (which in turn would help swing the Senate to the Dems).

Well it appears, pending the recount in Virginia, that I may have partially gotten my wish. Will it make a difference? I doubt it really, as long as Junior Bush is still in office, but it was worth a shot.

Meanwhile, in Ford and Corker’s race I really have to say I’m disappointed in the level of mud slinging on BOTH sides, but primarily in Corker’s case. The Playboy Ad (which featured a blonde playmate claiming to have met Ford, A SINGLE MAN MIND YOU, at a Playboy sponsored party) which OBVIOUSLY was intended to stir up resentment from people prone to racist/old school ideologies was the lowest blow. I honestly don’t know how politicians can live with themselves with some of their antics during campaign periods (and sometimes afterward).

More than anything else, the South had a chance to make a statement about progressiveness, and instead chose to show that skin color is still a major factor in who leads them. Days like today make me want Barack to wait. Who knows what he’ll be forced to endure!

For those faithful 2 or 3 that have stuck it out and are still reading ye olde Killa Blog I have good news for you. A BIG change is blowing in the wind. No I’m not putting this old dog down. Not yet anyway.

Myspace has really put a hurting on this joint though, I gotta be honest. It’s a one stop shop. I can blog, look at pictures, comment, sta…I mean errrr….get to know people.

I don’t have to worry about approving comments because of spammers who leave hundreds of comments a day! That is probably the single most annoying thing about this site or the internet in general. Spammers are the devil! But the Killa…or rather O.J. as it were….has something FOR YOU SONS OF BITCHES!

On another note, can I say that each year when Halloween passes, I’m saddened, not because I really feel an urge to get dressed up and eat candy, but because that means it’ll probably be 350 days until I see Halloween 4 and 5 again! Man I love those movies more and more with each passing year.

This is evolving into a random entry I believe…..oh well roll wit it baby like Stevie Winwood!

You know what else annoys me? Top ten lists that start with number one! Why the heck should I read any further? I already know who wins! Learn to write with some suspense why don’t you!

Are you watching the Wire? You should! Man this season is INCONCIEVABLY better than I imagined it would be. Well besides the decidedly unfavorable male to female full frontal nudity rate this year, but hey I’ll fast forward 30 seconds for the masterful story they are telling this season.

Heard the Games new album? Well apparently neither have I. It seems that I and everyone else on the net at large has been hoodwinked. The label put out a decoy album, and to that I breathe a sigh of relief. Only ONE serious banger on the one I had a hold of. He and Kanye are going to be in ALOT of trouble. Plus he’s crying on a track. I’m tired of conflicted ass thugs who need hugs, either be hard or soft.

Well I need to concentrate on this poker tourney. Leave a non-spamming comment or two!
