Happy Juneteenth Everyone!
Time for another Random Thoughts
Thank the Lord for people noticing me, there once was a time it seemed I didnt exist. the world turned crazy dont treat me shady baby, people noticing me.
Grits
You may or may not (probably the latter) have been wondering what Ive been doing with my time. Well, becoming a millionaire is hard work. My music is on about 25 web sites (but I only keep up with a few of them.) In the past week or so Ive been getting a lot of e-mails and messages from random people around the world. Some cool, some weird, some stupid but all appreciated. In the past week Ive added a group of people about half the size of my friends list to my mailing list who requested me to do so. The thing is, I dont have a mailing list. (Besides the random mass e-mails I send to you guys. btw, write me back you ungrateful jerks.) I really dont know what to tell these people except thanks and visit my main web site. I owe this recent surge of interest to my realization that people dont really want to think. At least not at first. So, I gave the people what they wanted: Punch lines and metaphors. Such as Youre not Sarah Jessica Parker, so why the long face & Im not the type of guy to get mad and walk away/ so you can call me R. Kelly cause Ill get pissed to your face. They dont want to hear about the AIDs epidemic in Africa or my constant bouts with self doubt.
I dumbed down for my audience and doubled my dollars/ The critics hated me for it but they all yelled Holla!

Now... if only I could learn how to double my dollars.
You may be wondering to yourself What the hell is JuneTeenth? No I didnt just make it up. If you are not African American and from Texas youve probably never heard of it. Well gather round children, Uncle Leehs got a story for you:
on June 19 ("Juneteenth"), 1865, Union general Gordon Granger read the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, thus belatedly bringing about the freeing of 250,000 slaves in Texas. Within a short time, Juneteenth was marked by festivities throughout the state, some of which were organized by official Juneteenth committees. Some of you history buffs may remember that Lincoln (or should I say Frederick Douglass) freed the slave on January 1, 1863 with the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. Well, youre right. Juneteenth is the celebration of the freeing of the Texas slaves... 2 and a half years late. I don't know what's more fucked up. That it happened or that we celebrate it.
In a few weeks Im going to be back in Texas. Its been over a year since Ive seen my family. Im only staying 5 days. I cant imagine being with my family for longer than that. Its not that I dont like them, its that I just feel weird around them. But I need to see them again. Then last time I say my brother was in a courtroom. All, Ill say is that he never went to law school and he was wearing a suit. An orange one that said county on the back.
Hey, fat girl, come here are you ticklish? would have been a better title for number 4 in my last journal. I think about stuff like that all the time.
I was at Blockbuster with a friend not long ago because she wanted to rent some movies. During the transaction, she handed the cashier the movies, her card and the money. All I did was stand there beside her. For some reason the (female) cashier handed me the movies, the receipt and she almost handed me my friends check card. It seemed like she was under the impression that i was in charge. I thought that was kind of weird. I pointed this out to my friend in the parking lot. she said it happens to her all the time. Ah, the perks of having a penis. Oh, and I bought and cooked dinner for those of you that may think I'm a cheep bastard for making her pay for everything. It wasn't a date anyway. It's never a date.
Im thinking of posting portions of my manuscript in here but Im not sure. What do you think?
To everyone I haven't talked to in a while: Sorry
To everyone that hasn't talked to me in a while: I still love you

"Perks of having a penis." Never heard it put that way before.
