” Trip To The Moon “

Hi Family,

I hope you guys didn’t think I was still somewhere hungover from New Years Eve. Not at all. Actually most of the people I came across in New York were too petrified to drink. ” Leandra’s Law”

a new law in New York State that makes driving intoxicated with children an automatic felony really had an impact. Even the normal alcoholics were drinking soda and juice. I was really impressed

when I saw one of the normal alcoholics sober driving the other drunk people home. Now there’s a man that has actually learned something. He’s determined to get two thousand ten off to a good start.

This is definitely a year to be on top of your A game. Unfortunately some of us are in the game but still don’t know how to play the game. Of course nobody is perfect but I think their is a thin line between

imperfection and plain stupidity. I really thought all the black athletes learned something from the Plexico incident. No sports enthusiasts can deny that the Giants are a better football team with Plexico in

the lineup. What we also should have learned is that no one is indispensable. There’s a person right next to you that wants your house, car, man and woman.  I am sick and tired of these modern day

cocky athletes that take their careers for granted. When did we ever hear of Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Walt Frazier, Dr.J ,Willis Reed or Hank Aaron come into a locker room with

a gun. Someone please tell me what was on Gilbert Arenas mind. Activist in communities across the country have been working diligently to deter our youth away from guns. Here we have two of our

so-called role models in the locker room acting like two thugs playing cee-lo on 125th street. Then again I can’t even use that analogy because they’ve moved our black asses out of Harlem. A ratio of

ten whites for every four blacks. Now that’s a damned shame but so is this incident. Commissioner Stern was quick to initiate quick punishment in the form of an indefinite suspension. That adds up to

147,000 dollars per game for ” Gun- tot tin- Gilbert “. When I listened to Gilbert talk about the incident he mentioned that everyone knows he’s a jokester. Well brother 147,000 dollars ain’t no joke in this

kind of economy. Now I don’t know about the rest of the family but Poppa could use 147,000 dollars right about now. That’s not some little bit of dough. What a way to start off the New Year Gilbert !

To my brother, former N.B.A. star Jayson Williams the only thing I can offer is my prays. Just charged with drinking and driving for crashing into a tree along the F.D.R. drive in N.Y.C.

I’m sure most of us remember the incident with the accidental shooting of his limo driver. I guess the worst part about that incident was that he tried to cover it up. Well anybody that

doesn’t believe in karma maybe you will now. Anybody that believes that they can violate another persons life and continue on without repercussions is mistaken. Just ask Micheal Jackson.

Didn’t the father of one of his child molestation accusers drop dead. I can vividly remember one of my own experiences years ago. Fired by my jealous forty year old boss unjustly. Didn’t he

drop dead a few years later from an undetermined illness. Here I am still here by the grace of God. Making music and writing on this blog looking forward to a blessed 2010. If you treat people

right nothing but blessing will flow your way. I’m not here to wish bad luck on Jayson. It’s so ironic because I just took a photo with him three weeks prior to the incident during his birthday

celebration in Jersey.Very nice brother but it’s time for him to wake up and smell the coffee. Be a man and take responsibility for your actions. To jump in the passenger seat like he wasn’t driving is

so cowardice. Some of these young brothers really need advice. Talk to comedian D.L. Hughly who loves to drink but has sense enough to take a cab home. Don’t  you think the limo driver is rolling

over in his grave saying,” Jayson you could have used me last night huh”.

We ended the year with the ” underpants bomber ” and now we’re starting the year with a bang. Who would ever think that it would involve ” Chicken McNuggets. A woman

in Toledo, Ohio bashing out the drive-through window because the McDonald’s ran out of  ’Chicken McNuggets”. Now I never met this woman in my life but I know she’s over three hundred pounds.

This is not the women you want to marry. God forbid if we run out of groceries at the house. I know for sure I’m getting my ass kicked. What direction are we going in to react this way over a food that’s

not even healthy. This story is very comical but also very tragic. It demonstrates the frustration level that exist in the world. People are ready to jump into a rage at the slightest little thing. Heck one of

George Bush’s lawyers just beat up on his wife in New Canaan, Conn. A broken nose and jaw. What about music producer Teddy Riley bashing his daughters with the Guitar Hero. Homeboy wanted

another hit. Another incident of rage evident in Las Vegas recently. A shooting because a mans social security check was reduced. Just traveling around the tri-state area I couldn’t tell you how many

times I’ve over heard, ” I don’t wanna have to go to jail tonight “.We have definitely reached a boiling point. Yes there is a very serious morals breakdown in our society right now. There has even been a

report of a couple getting caught having sex in the church. Now you know that’s nasty and a true sign that we could all be headed to Hell. Now I’m not about to let all this hard work of being good go down

the drain and sit in Hell cooking marshmallows for the rest of my after life. The Temptations had a hit called ” Ball of Confusion “. They say the only safe place is on an indian reservation. In 2010 the only

safe place is on the moon. We all may need a one way ticket just to keep our sanity. We all may need a ” Trip To The Moon “………………….Rest in Peace Percy Sutton.
