The Break Up (So Long Myspace)

2010-01-09T13:09:00.000-08:00

*Sigh*

It was so hard for me to do this. I thought about it for days, and even lost sleep over it. Tom introduced us, and I fell in love after the first click. The many pictures and songs we shared together were timeless. You never cared about the people I approved, and you stood behind me when I would deny someone. You made boring nights fun, by asking me 100 random questions through bulletins, just to get to know me better. You would never become jealous when I commented on another girls page because you knew I would not leave you, and I appreciate you for that.

*Sniffle*

You did nothing wrong to deserve this myspace.com, but it is time for me to move on. I wish nothing but good things for you, and I hope you continue to make people happy. Goodbye……………………….

Emotional Girls + Social Networking Sites (Twitter, Myspace, Facebook) = SMH!

2009-12-22T23:31:00.000-08:00

Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back! Instead of posting Mixtapes, Videos, or pictures, I felt the need to talk my shit again! It is blog number 100 and It has been a while since I posted my random thoughts and truly do miss posting them!

In this day and age social networking sites have changed the way we communicate with each other. It is funny to me because myspace, facebook, and twitter are used by a multitude of people just to keep in contact with the same 20-30 friends that they speak to on a daily basis. The majority of us, who have cell phones, use our phones to comment on people’s pages, when we could just call that person. I won’t lie to you; I do it all the time. Its cool reading people’s status updates and twitter updates. You get a good laugh every now and then, but don’t you hate it when people abuse status update rights by posting their emotional issues and relationships problems for everyone to see! I see more females do than males all the time.

Emotional girls have abused their rights to status updates & twitter @replies. These girls are online looking for cyberspace therapy.

For Example:

TWITTER

Crzy_SxY @whoevercares I never had a feeling like this for anyone…I think he is the one!
20 seconds ago

Crzy_SxY @whoevercares Why do I always end up with guys who use me! Why does this always happen to me! I’m done with guys!!!!
18 hours ago

FACEBOOK

JANE DOE I told myself I would never fall for him again. I told myself to stay strong but he captured my heart. When I thought everything was perfect he crushed my heart again. I cry every night searching for sympathy and peace of mind. For Christmas please send me Mr. Right!

These girls post their problems online make them more vulnerable for the next guy to come in and do the same thing, which leads to another pathetic status update! These are the girls we want to be with, but not seriously…lol! That’s why I shake my head at these girls! Alright I can’t lie I’ve done this before within a blog post a long time ago when I was all in for this girl, but I will leave that for you to find if it is still around! I’m officially done talking my shit again! Until next time……Happy Holidays!

Cook Thomas

2009-10-25T15:52:00.000-07:00

Going through my random Artist search online, I came across another artist from the North. Representing the T-Dot (Toronto, Canada), Cook Thomas is definitely an artist you want to watch out for. Currently working on his upcoming mixtape Forever & Ever, Cook Thomas is releasing music every week that is just straight Fiyaaahhhh!!!!! With tracks like “No Parachute,” “It’s Time,” “Gimmick,” “Big Amounts,” & “96 Chicago Bulls,” people are finally finding out what the entire buzz is about. Checkout the interview, then go checkout Cook Thomas at http://www.youtube.com/user/CTHOMASTV & www.myspace.com/cookthomasmusic

Mr. Bess: Who is Cook Thomas?

Cook Thomas: Cook Thomas is a rap artist who makes the food the people need. Rap music in my opinion has been boring in the past 5 years, so I’m just bringing some good classic honest music to the table.

Mr. Bess: When did you start rapping?

Cook Thomas: I started rapping when I was 16.

Mr. Bess: Did you have a good life or a bad life growing up? How has that influenced your music?
Cook Thomas: I can’t really complain about my life growing up. Even though I only had my mom around and the conditions of living weren’t the best, she worked hard so we didn’t suffer. I always had food and a roof over my head so I can’t complain.

Mr. Bess: Who are some of musical influences?

Cook Thomas: some of my musical influences are Notorious B.I.G, Nas, Lenny Kravitz, and Jay-Z

Mr. Bess: What set’s you apart from other rappers trying to make name in the game?

Cook Thomas: What sets me apart from 85 % of these guys is that I’m actually trying to talk about honest things in everyday life. When I write, I try and bring a message, a concept and something refreshing. Every time I hear a new song its “swag this swag that”, “I Got Money”, “I wear Louis, Gucci”, “I Got Hoes”. Don’t get me wrong I love all those things and have fun with them myself, but when all your songs are about the same shit, it gets boring for all of us, and that’s what seems to be the problem to me right now. Shit is real generic.

Mr. Bess: Is there an album or mixtape in the works?

Cook Thomas: I have a mixtape in the works currently titled Forever & Ever.

Mr. Bess: When is the release date for the mixtape and what can we expect from it?

Cook Thomas: I’m looking to drop around Christmas time, but I record on a daily basis and leak songs on a weekly basis, so you can check YouTube at CTHOMASTV and www.Myspace.com/cookthomasmusic for my music.

Mr. Bess: So you sing and rap?

Cook Thomas: I’m more of a shower singer LOL! I usually have problems with singers taking too long to record a hook, so I just do it myself. I’m not trying to be a singer or trying to get better in that field, sometimes it just helps portray the story of the track better or the beat might have a certain feel to where I’ll sing something on it. For example I sing on a song I have called ’96 Chicago bulls. I’m singing low because I can’t hit high notes. I am NO singer.

Mr. Bess: The west coast has been dominate, the east coast has been dominate, and the south. What will it take for the north to have that same kind of dominance?

Cook Thomas: In order for the north to dominate, we’ll need to come together and support each other. Here its like producers want to charge an arm and a leg for a beat to an up and coming young rapper, then you have a circle of people who make a little noise in the city, but they don’t want to help anyone else, because they feel bigger than they really are. Also I feel we don’t have enough talented people at the front reppin’ us. The north has a lot of talented people and it’s just the politics are bullshit so the world gets to see bullshit artists…so we look corny. If we can change those things, we can definitely take over.

Mr. Bess: What is the Canadian hip hop scene like?

Cook Thomas: The Canadian hip hop scene is very underground. Like I said before, there’s a lot of talent here, we’re just working for our dominance.

Mr. Bess: Out of the Dominate mainstream artist who have made it out of Canada such as Drake, K-OS, Kardinal Offishall, and Swollen Members. Who do you see yourself working with?

Cook Thomas: I would say K-OS because he has a sound that is so unique. He switches from hip hop to rock to pop, so I feel like that would be an interesting collaboration.

Mr. Bess: Everyone gets asked this question, but name 5 albums everyone should own?

Cook Thomas: Jay-Z – The Blueprint / Lil Wayne – Tha Carter 2 / Nas – Illmatic / Michael Jackson – Thriller / Notorious B.I.G – Ready To Die

Mr. Bess: What is your music making process?

Cook Thomas: I usually just listen to some beats, then write based off the feeling and vibe I get from the beat. Anything I write about is usually real rap, so the process is usually real easy.

Mr. Bess: What can we expect from Cook Thomas in the future?

Cook Thomas: You can expect tons more music and some music videos in the near future.

Mr. Bess: What is the message you have for the world in your music?

Cook Thomas: My message is basically my life story. I’m just being true to myself and the world.

THE LYTICS

2009-10-05T23:36:00.000-07:00

Such Hip Hop acts like, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, K-OS, & Swollen Members, have all emerged to become breakthrough from Canada. The next group to surface from the North is Canadian Hip Hop group The Lytics. The first single “Big City Sound Girl” created a huge buzz on the internet on major Hip Hop sites such as HipHopdx.com, and received high ratings, all across the boards. It was the first track I heard from the group and I had to know who they were. With the door cracked open, The Lytics have busted through, and made a lot of noise with their self-titled debut album. Hailing from Manitoba, Canada the trio of emcee’s (A-Nice, Ashy, Munga), just want to have fun, work hard, and put out good music. With tracks such as Big City Sound Girl, Stay Humble, Try Hard, I’m Here, The Lytics Album is a must buy. Go to ITunes or http://www.thelytics.com/ today and purchase your copy!

THE INTERVIEW

Mr. Bess: Who are the Lytics?

The Lytics: The Lytics consist of three emcee's A-nice, Ashy and Munga. A producer, B-flat, and a DJ Action Rick

Mr. Bess: How did The Lytics come together?

The Lytics: Well A-nice, Ashy and B-flat are brothers, but A-nice met Munga in '03 and decided we could make a little music. Ashy joined the group soon after, and B-flat was producing around the city anyways so it only made sense he'd let us use his beats. Action Rick joined the group in the winter of '08 and has been backing the group on the tables during performances. Now it is what it is.

Mr. Bess: How did Ashy get his name? Did you not use lotion as a child? (I'm not taking a shot at you!)

The Lytics: Damn Skippy, boy was crusty, and you know how nicknames go, it's usually the ones you don't like that stick…Hahahaha!

Mr. Bess: Mainstream stars such as Drake, Kardinal Offishall, K-OS, Swollen Members, have all emerged to become breakthrough artist from Canada. Where do the Lytics fit in?

The Lytics: Hopefully right alongside, with the right work ethic, and the right ears hearing us anything is possible.

Mr. Bess: What is the Canadian Hip Hop scene like?

The Lytics: Well you named some of them already, but I would say it's emerging. I believe we're about to make some noise soon, and if it is Gods will we'll be part of it.

Mr. Bess: Who are some of your musical influences?

The Lytics: They come from all over the place, from Tribe to Souls of Mischief, Slick Rick, Nas, Etc.

Mr. Bess: Who do you hope to work with in the future?

The Lytics: Umm, there are a lot, and our doors will always be open.

Mr. Bess: What is the message you want people to know through your music?

The Lytics: That the industry is changing, and people will have to start putting out good music to stay up.

Mr. Bess: What is the inspiration behind your debut album?

The Lytics: Just trying to put out good music, love, hard work, and fun. You know, just the kind of things that will get you through every day, and make tomorrow worth living.

Mr. Bess: What is the music making process like?

The Lytics: Well B-flat comes up with the beats and then emcee's and producer find a suitable hook. From there we get the verses straight (who's writing what etc.) and then we hit the booth and put it down. Mixings all done in house then we hit up our mastering guy Jay Malloy, and call it a track.

Mr. Bess: Name 5 albums everyone should own?

The Lytics: 1.) Illmatic - Nas, 2.) The Tipping Point- The Roots, 3.) Medians Relief- Median, 4.) Wolfgang Amadeus- Phoenix, 5.) Below the Heavens- Blu & Exile.

Mr. Bess: I couldn’t agree more with you on the album choices

Mr. Bess: What is Life like outside the Studio?

The Lytics: School, Work, Girls, I don’t know, that sort of thing….hahaha!

Mr. Bess: What does it take to be successful in the music industry?

The Lytics: Hard work, good music, and a little faith.

Mr. Bess: What do you think about President Obama calling Kanye West a, "Jackass?"

The Lytics: I don't know him personally so I wouldn't call him a jackass, but it definitely wasn't cool what he did.

Mr. Bess: At the end of your album you guys play around with Auto Tune. What is your dislike toward auto tune?

The Lytics: None what so ever. We found a plug in for it so we just started playing with it. We thought it was funny so we just tossed it on the record.

Dear Life Pt. 3 (Myspace Started It All)

2009-09-26T15:23:00.000-07:00

The Time is 4:32 PM and it is currently 97 degrees in my Part Arizona on September 18, 2009. I’m sitting in basketball shorts and wearing my Summer League Basketball T-Shirt from 1999, while cooking Steak, Rigatoni, & Portobello Mushrooms. My mind began to become pregnant and I decided to compose a small letter to Life today. Here is a small excerpt from the letter. In the next couple of days you’ll see each passage of this 3 part letter regarding my internet addiction....ENJOY!

September 18, 2009

Dear Life,

Well you may ask, what Led to the Twitter and Facebook addiction. Well it all started when Tom introduced me to Myspace. Myspace blew my mind and I was hooked! It instantly became a part of my daily routine, and took up so many hours of my day. I couldn’t wait to get home from school just so I could get on Myspace. I began taking multiple pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror, and I had to keep a camera on me 24/7 so I could upload new pictures on Myspace. No One had my friends than, because within a 24 hour period, I would at least have a minimum of 567 friend request. Not to brag, but I was up there with Tom the creator. I would try to Holla at every girl on there no matter where they resided.

You always had to keep your page fresh with dope graphics, a hot song, and a fly saying. The drama, humor, and time wasted started it all for me! With all the advancements it has be so hard to stop. Please Help Me!!!

Dear Life Pt. 2 (Facebook Confessions)

2009-09-19T15:43:00.000-07:00

September 18, 2009

Dear Life,

As if you thought my twitter addiction was bad it gets worse from there. It has gotten so bad that I have connected my twitter account to my Facebook account. Not only do I want everyone to know my business of twitter, but I feel my Facebook friends should know has well. Facebook is so amazing, because you can poke all the girls you want and they don’t even mind. You have your choice from 1 or 10, but you can poke them all. I love the fact that I know everything my friends are doing, from comments they leave on friends pages, picture uploads, profile changes, and status updates. I know it’s wrong, but I just seen one of the girls I’ve been waiting to talk to for a long time, just switched status to “single” 5 hours ago. I love taking pictures and then tagging people in the pictures when I catch at there worst, but they end up un-tagging themselves eventually. I’m really addicted to the “Like” button. When click on that button you receive a notification every time someone leaves a comment on the picture or status update.

The real reason why I can’t reduce my time on Facebook is because all of the application request I have accepted and must constantly keep track of. I have people constantly trying to jack me for my goods in my Mafia Wars App. I have to keep track of all my animals in Farmville, and I’m always trying to level up my hero abilities. I wish I could take a break, but I’m always getting challenged in scrabble, tetris, beer pong, and poker. I can never say no to all the cause invitations every 4 hours, because I want to be a supporter of all the great causes taking place during my time. Everyday I do a quiz to see how well I know my friends, then to see what Disney Song best fits me, and then I end the night by seeing which female friend will be my secret crush.

Every time I receive a new friend request it is only right that suggest my new friend to all my other friends. I add some really great people and I feel that all my friends should have the opportunity to meet these great people I met online. I know I can call and text my friends but I rather use Facebook chat because it makes a cool popping noise every time you receive a message.

Every time I try to sign off Facebook, one of my friends says something funny and I just have to comment. I will lose sleep at night because I will never back down from a game challenge. I can never pass on the days where 87 people are on the Facebook chat, because it is a Party for my fingers! How do I tell Facebook no?

Dear Life pt.1 (Twitter Addiction)

2009-09-18T17:29:00.000-07:00

September 18, 2009

Dear Life,

It is Me, Myself, and My Mind writing to you today because I have a few questions for you regarding these addictions I have. Rather it is my phone or my laptop I am constantly on the Internet, and when I’m not on the internet, I can’t wait to get on the internet. It has become the new millenniums crack cocaine. I’ve been injected with some many tweets I’m constantly telling people my every movement, location, who I’m with, what I’m eating , etc.

WakeUpMrBess Right Foot, Left Foot, Right Foot, Left Foot…….I am now in the Kitchen

WakeUpMrBess I am currently in my car driving with left hand on the wheel while tweeting

WakeUpMrBess I have arrived at Jack in the Box. What Should I eat?

WakeUpMrBess I should have never ate the Tacos…..#2 in progress…Sorry toilet bowl

I get so excited when I get a new follower. I must always send them a personal message letting them know I appreciate them following me, and I must let them know about http://www.wakeupmrbess.blogspot.com/. I’m sending @replies at people I don’t even know and Re-Tweeting other peoples quotes on a regular basis. I can’t sleep well at Night If I don’t tell all my followers Good Night before I sleep, and Good Morning when I wake up. I lose sleep at night because I stay up thinking of statements that will get the most @Replies, LoL, & HAHAHA’s! It’s so addicting Mistah Fab made a song about twitter(Music video below).

I didn’t want to become addicted, but now I crave twitter everyday. How do I reduce my cravings? Must I go to rehab for twitter? Is there a patch of some sort I can wear?

Tila Tequila gets Choked, Unfinished Poetry, Cool W(h)iP Family Guy Style!

2009-09-06T16:53:00.000-07:00

So I’m not big on Celebrity gossip but when I woke up this morning and heard that Tila Tequila was choked by San Diego Chargers Linebacker Shawne Merriman. I mean Tila Tequila is a small girl and Shawne Merriman is 6'4" 265lbs! Definitely an unfair fight! Merriman May have just ruined it for all the guys by choking her. A shot at love for the guys may be out the picture now. Well that was my 2 cents about some celebrity gossip.

Man Oh Man, I put in a super good workout today! Seriously I gets it in and the transformation is going great. I'm transforming for the good, so I guess you could consider me and autobot...naw'sayin!

I’ve been working on some stuff and it is still in the rough stages but here it is:

Horses with Gucci Manes are ridden by Louis Vuitton Dons
But I can offered Sean Jean
But I smell Good
So I pronounce that I Am King of this Fantasy Land
Where purple haze skies and Kush Clouds
Leave my people dazed and confused
And radio frequencies hypnotize the masses to believe that hip hop is dead………..

So that was that and it needs a lot of work still but yeah. Well I would like to leave you all with one of my favorite Family Guy clips involving Cool W(h)ip!

As I sit Here.........

2009-09-04T09:22:00.000-07:00

As I sit here watching Pootie Tang, while producing another Blog, I realize that Pootie Tang is one of the WORST movies ever made in movie History! So I’ve been working out everyday going through this transformation to get the body of the Black Greek God Zeus Tholoneus King (Please don’t try to Google or Bing)! Next time I come to California I’m going to be a little bit bigger than normal, so watch a Cali Peeps! Truly this weekend I need to call some friends and catch up, and see how things are going. I’m the worst at getting back to people when it comes to phone calls. I want to try to make work this weekend while I’m off so Pick up the phone if I call because it is a rare occasion.

So I was browsing the Internet I came across this photo of Keri Hilson on the cover of Complex magazine. Honestly how can you not like Keri Hilson! She is one of the sexiest women with short hair, and if you don’t think so, you probably like cock and balls (No homosexual offense intended).

I have been slaving since Sunday and it will definitely be a relief to have the weekend off! I’ve been pondering, noticing, and writing a lot during the week so I’ll have some brilliant topics for the weekend! I’ll add a hint of Arizona experiences in there for you all as well! Until then, I’ll leave you with a video from Fresh Daily! If you don’t know, now you KNOW Fresh Can Spit!!!! SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY DAY DREAMERS!!!!!

THE SHOP

2009-08-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

We live in a world that has been polluted by chorus driven Hip Hop with no substance. Smog composed of ringtone rap, swagger, & trends, makes it hard to rely on real Hip Hop as a source of fresh air. It seems like every where you go; it is hard to get away from the Radio Bull Shit. I stopped attending clubs mainly because of the fights, and the atmosphere was always the same. People always say, “I just go to have fun with my friends,” which could be a true statement at times. #1 reason why I stopped going is because the DJ’s play Bull Shit!

I’m officially happy to say that I have found my breath of fresh on Saturday nights in Phoenix, Arizona, at a place called the Hidden House! If you are a fan of Rakim, The Chronic Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre, M.O.P., J. Dilla, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Living Legends, Exile, Oh No, Slum Village, Atmosphere, KRS-one, Little Brother, Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, Erykah Badu, Old School Outkast, Chaka Khan, and the list can go on forever! As I was saying…..if you are a fan of Artist such as the few that I listed, The Shop on Saturday Nights at The Hidden House is the place the be.

The Shop was started by DJ Al Page. Being a DJ in Arizona, he was fed up with playing the music that everyone else wanted instead of staying true to his roots, so he created The Shop.

“My dislike towards mainstream comes from the fact that 99% of that shit is whack. Clear channel and MTV have a system that the average person buys. People are too lazy and settle for what is fed to them. There isn’t one artist on MTV or the radio worth a fuck as far as I’m concerned,” stated DJ Al Page.

The music and the positive vibes is what always keep people coming to The Shop. I also forgot the mention that the drinks are cheap to and you should always tip your bartender. The dance floor is always packed due to amazing the music and the incredible people on 1’s & 2’s. Rather be it DJ Al Page, DJ KGB, DJ Ms. Robs, DJ Osama Big Serg, DJ Dn3, DJ Kris the fist, or the sexy DJ Brazilia, playing best in Underground Hip Hop, Classic Hip Hop Funk, Soul, and Reggae, The Shop is always the place to be on Saturday nights in Phoenix, AZ.

I Was Bored Today

2009-08-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

As I sit here bored out my mind watching MTV’s true and drinking an extremely nasty beer (Leinenpiugel’s Sunset Wheat Beer). The only thing I get out of this show is that there is love for everyone out there. I’m watching a broke fat guy with a beautiful model type looking chick. How did it happen…who knows? Can I hate…No! As I sit here and watch the TV I was thinking. Have you ever made it to point in your life where you get tired of working for someone else due to the fact it is not what you want to be doing in life? I’ve been at the point for a while now, that’s why I have made the move. I can’t wait to finish school and obtain a journalism degree but the same time I would It be amazing to own a night lounge and doing up the way I want it. Being your OWN BOSS would be the dream Job! Lot’s of stress and pressure but everything is done your way! I can’t wait for school to start so I can get back on track, and come back to California Successful! That is the plan in this small journey of mine while having a good time.

Two things I do not like right now are Black Guys in Skinny Jeans wearing UGG Boots and the Skin-It Commercial done in Auto-Tune!

I’m currently listening to the Kooley High Mixtape in my Car out the moment. My favorite track is Kooley is High. Check out the video Below!

Well I’m at a loss of words at the moment….So Arizona Peeps can catch here tonight! Cali Friends feel free to drive out and check it out!

I went out last night and came home at 3am. I would work at 7am, and it just so happened to be the roughest morning ever! Woke up with bug bites on my ribs and I was crazy tired!

D.O.V.N. (Death of V-Neck)

2009-07-30T17:18:00.000-07:00

My creativity was caught in sleeper hold, and is now no where to be found. Can someone help me find my ART? Random introduction for today’s blog but I’ve been struggling with my innovative side lately. I don’t know if it is just me or the 115 degree weather. I may need like 50cc’s of creative juice injected or something. Well this is my page of random thoughts so the introduction fits I guess…..Let’s get into today’s topic!

Well I’m definitely no fashion guru, but the death of V-Necks is near! You can thank all the extra buff people and super skinny people for this blog. Before I get completely into this topic I would like to say that I do own a couple of V-Neck T-shirts that are one solid color and I occasionally wear them around the house.

Raise your hand if you are tired of seeing buff ass people with no neck in your six year old brothers Ed Hardy medieval edition V-Neck. They knew the shirt was too small when they bought it. Is it me or do all the buff ass people wear V-necks with rhinestones, crosses, lions, and cursive logos. If you see one of these buff ass people in the club with a V-Neck, they usually think they are the shit. The funny part is, they are always the one to wear sandals to the club….hahahaha!

NEWS FLASH: Hey Buff Guy in the toddler size V-neck & Sandals! You are just as cool as skinny little me…….Now go find some shoes and a shirt that fits!

Skinny People, Lean People, Thin People………(Pause)………(Sigh)………..Why must you wear the extended V-neck shirts that extend down to the tip of your belly button? You know you doing wrong when you walk out of your home with that shirt on. I’m ashamed to be skinny when I see that. You have actually left me speechless and thoughtless, and I cannot write anymore!

I don’t know if I am by myself, but I would like to see the Death of V-Neck!!!!!!!!

Wake Up Mr. Bess Update

2009-07-18T14:59:00.000-07:00

It has been a long while and I am finally back! I would like to do something a little different today. I gave mainstream radio Hip Hop a chance again. That was probably one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in a while. The worst Hip Hop lyrics of the month, goes to Southern Rapper Dorrough and his verse on the Ice Cream Paint Job Remix. He states, “Mama black, daddy black, uncle black, granny black, catch me in a Cadillac.” Can someone please let him know he needs to step his game up or will it hurt the image?

So lately Mr. Bess has been M.I.A. Trying to find me is like trying to find the clothes pin in an ISPY book. We definitely have a lot of things to catch up on. I now live in one of the four corner states. It is also known to be the home of John McCain, The Grand Canyon, and the Cactus Wren (State Bird). Yes I am talking about hot ass Arizona. When you wake up in the morning it is 108 degrees, and when you go to sleep it is 108 degrees. Since I’ve been here, the hottest day was 115 degrees. That is crazy hot and unnecessary indeed! I went to my first club in Phoenix last night. The club was called Stoudemires in Downtown Phoenix. The place was decent and had a really nice set up, but they did not believe in Air Conditioning. You literally had a two song minimum and then you have to change clothes. Despite the triple digit heat in within the club, people still had the nerve to wear leather jackets and fur boots. It’s crazy how people look for love in clubs which I witnessed last night and it was the first time I saw parking pimp’n work. Niggas never fail to amaze me.

A big part of my agenda is to get these artist interviews up and rolling again. I’m really backed up with a lot of request, but I’m going knock them all out the way. Speaking of good hip hop music, everyone should check out the The Lytics (http://www.myspace.com/lytics). Coming all the way from Manitoba, Canada, The Lytics are helping Hip Hop Stay alive and I hope to feature them on my blog!

A new life, new adventures, new experiences, and a new chapter to add to my life story. A lot of great things to come, and I want to take everyone along for the journey!

The Elevaters Interview (Answers provided by David Noily)

2009-07-10T16:22:00.000-07:00

No homo intended but if The Roots and Maroon 5 produced a musical baby, they would give birth to a sensational group called The Elevaters. This diverse super group consists of six talented musicians with extraordinary gifts. Sam (Vocals/Keyboard), Miles (Vocals/Shakers), Ben (Vocals/Percussion), Itai (Bass/Guitar), Andre (Drums), David (Guitar/Bass). The Elevaters have shared the stage with groups such as The Roots, KRS-One, De La Soul, & Medusa just to name a few artists. They met as students at UCLA while studying different aspects of music. Andre joined the group after seeing them perform live at coffee shop before they had someone on the drums. Their performances have been known to be lively, ingenious, immense, and even divine. The Elevaters debut album “Rising” is a must have. It doesn’t matter if you like pop, jazz, blues, r&b, hip hop, funk, because the album has it all. Some of my favorite tracks on the album are, “Patience”, “Walken”, “L.A. Zoo”, & “Follow Me”. The album is currently on ITunes and available for purchase so you would be doing yourself a huge favor by picking up the album ASAP!

Mr. Bess: Who are the Elevaters?

The Elevaters: Six men, musicians, visionaries, groove-makers, urban planners.

Mr. Bess: How did the Elevaters come together?

The Elevaters: UCLA Theater students making poetry and music performances.

Mr. Bess: How did you guys come up with the group name, and what does is mean?

The Elevaters: In an Elevator. We changed the "O" to an "E" to imply that we have raised our game, and in turn our music lifts your mood, makes you think, move, and we hope it has an elevated intelligence above contemporary pop and hip-hop music.

Mr. Bess: Do you feel there is an advantage of having a diverse group?

The Elevaters: Diversity is a byproduct of living in a city as colorful as LA. We didn't plan it, nor do we think about it much. Our diversity, has helped us with our audience, we feel like we're looking in a mirror when we look out from the stage, you see Black, White, Persian, Hispanic, Asian, Haitian, Mongolian, Djiboutian, the whole spectra of race is in all our faces. The music brought that to us.

Mr. Bess: Where does the Funk, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Elevaters sound come from?

The Elevaters: Take a pinch of Chic, add a dash of Prince, churn in some Zeppelin, knead in some Earth, Wind, and Fire, And then smother it in Outkast, The Roots, and our own very special, top-secret ingredient. Let it rise overnight in the philosophies of John Lennon and Groucho Marx. Bake at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for a one-hour live set and it shall serve millions.

Mr. Bess: Do you guys have a special process for making songs?

The Elevaters: I write everything (David Noily).

Mr. Bess: I’m not trying to cause any trouble, but who would win in a freestyle rap battle between Sam, Miles, and Ben?

The Elevaters: For fun, Sammy. For blood, Benny.

Mr. Bess: If you could go on tour with any 3 groups/artist right now, who would you choose?

The Elevaters: Lady Gaga for the exposure
The Roots for the challenge
Daft Punk for the addiction

Mr. Bess: Name 6 albums everyone should own?

The Elevaters:Beatles- Revolver
Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti
Daft Punk- Discovery
Nick Drake- Pink Moon
The Clash- London Calling
James Brown- No one album, but he's got to be in the mix...

Mr. Bess: Your last album was released May 5, 2007. When is the next Elevaters album dropping and what can we expect from it?

The Elevaters: Better, Faster, Stronger, Harder, Sexier, Tighter, Deeper!

Mr. Bess: What is the best part about performing on stage together?

The Elevaters: There are moments where we're not in control, we are playing our parts- not missing a beat, but we've given the song control of the steering wheel. The music between us has arrested and is moving us. That's when the audience is most akin to putty, because we are too.

Mr. Bess: What is the message you have for the world through your music?

The Elevaters: Elevaters are the soundtrack to this new activated generation that we saw wake from their sleep Nov. 4th, 2009. A hot, fresh, and fun generation that is choosing a new direction of smart, green, responsible, and hard choices to make up for the excesses and shallowness of those that have come before us. We make this revolution sound good!

Mr. Bess: Who is going to win the NBA finals: ORLANDO MAGIC or LA LAKERS?

The Elevaters: LAKE SHOW in 6!!

Plump People & Skinny Jeans

2009-05-31T22:20:00.000-07:00

Well Hello World! It has been a ridiculously long time, and I truly miss all of you. I feel we need to sit down with a drink and have a good laugh. With my Cherry Limeade in hand, I would just like to let everyone know that I’m back on my BS again!!! I’ve been out in the streets and going to a lot of places and the things I’ve been seeing have inspired me. I’m also happy to see my Orlando Magic in the Finals against the L.A. Lakers. I’m going to be bold and say the Orlando Magic will upset the Lakers in Game 6. Call me crazy, but I believe it is going to happen. I would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to all the artist who have participated in the Wake Up Mr. Bess Blogspot interviews. I’ve been getting a good feedback and responses from it. Be sure to check out the next interview post which will be featuring The Elevaters (http://www.myspace.com/elevaters) and also check out the album on ITunes titled “Rising”.

I haven’t written a blog like this in a long time, but today’s topic is Plump People & Skinny Jeans. I’m not one to judge but ya’ll know this simply wrong. It’s like oil trying to mix with water. I’m not the only person who notices these things. Just by the name of the jeans, I’m pretty the emphasis is on “skinny” meaning that these jeans were made for thin ass people! Like Tubby, chubby, fatty, jeans would work for you. Even straight leg jeans would be a right fit. I don’t know what you were thinking picking a size 30x30 when you know you should be in 50x50. I saw this big black in LA wearing some bright neon yellow skinny jeans walking down the street. Both of his legs looked like two big ass Yellow Hi-Liters…..LoL! What made the sight even worse was that in crack was showing also. It was sad to see him look uncomfortable.

IF YOU BUY A PAIR OF JEANS AND THEY DON’T REACH YOUR WAIST WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON, PLEASE BUY A BIGGER SIZE!

Man the bottoms of your pants should not suffocate the top of ankles when you put the on. It was just horrible sight for me everyone. Like I know I may sound kind of harsh and all but 2+2 does not equal 6. It’s just wrong, and that guy knew. Well that’s all I have to say for tonight!!! Thank you for reading my 2cents! I hope everyone enjoys the rest of evening!

Gio Basicali (Thumbs Up!) Interview

2009-05-18T23:35:00.000-07:00

If you are a real person, who likes real music, and has bills to pay, L.A. MC Gio Basicali is the artist for you. He has the whole world feeling good with their thumbs up, as he brings positive vibes through his music. Gio Basicali is one the young fresh new voices coming out of the L.A. music scene. With an self titled debut on ITunes, and an EP titled “I Choose You “ that is dropping May 19th,2009 for FREE download, Gio Basicali is an artist you definitely want to checkout.

Mr. Bess: Who is Gio Basicali?

Gio Basicali: Hip Hop, songwriter, and poet.

Mr. Bess: Busta Rhymes cut his dreads and went with a short clean haircut. What made you cut your dreads?

Gio Basicali: I grew my hair out to have a connection to my father, because he also had locks. I didn’t know I was doing that at first, but in my process of becoming a man I had to know what it felt like to see life the way he did, since he wasn’t there to tell me. I lived 10 years with locks. It was the best experience in my life, but I needed a change. I felt it inside and I was scared at first, like, will people accept me when they are gone? But I realized it is me who makes me how I am, not my hair. So when I realized that, IT was off with the hair. Plus, I love wearing hats and I couldn’t fit any. Or if I could I would hear LIL JON comments all over the place [laughs].

Mr. Bess: What is your “Thumbs Up” movement about?

Gio Basicali: Thumbs up is universal for everyone. For the most part, it is a positive hand signal for “go” or “I’m ready” or “everything is fine.” So when I put the thumbs up, all these things come together, I am ready to go, ready to make things happen, everything is good, I hope they are with you, let’s work together… Thumbs Up!

Mr. Bess: American Pie is one of the highest rated tracks on your debut album on ITunes and one of my favorite tracks as well. What is the inspiration behind the song?

Gio Basicali: My inspiration behind that was my neighborhood in mid-city Los Angeles. My blocks have a colorful mixture of people who do what they have to do to survive. Some work for a living with regular job 9-5 jobs, some are on government support, some are business owners, artists, and others sell “product”, if you know what I mean. For the most part, my neighborhood is calm. No real problems, just real people trying to get by everyday. There is a police station right down the street. These dudes are part of the worst things that happen in our neighborhood, and everybody knows that, so the idea of justice and liberty for all is jaded where I come from. To judge the lower is to judge the higher ‘cause they are all connected. Only one truly suffers for mistakes, and that is the one trying to get by, while the police and government go untouched. I don’t support dealing “product,” and I have a big problem with it and Dope Boy Music. To glory in the idea is sad, and in my neighborhood I also see the results of what drugs have done to our communities and families and because of that, I can’t stand it. To me, when rappers glorify selling dope, it is like a Jewish dude bragging about getting rich off selling information to the Germans during the Holocaust….never going to happen! But with Black people, we glorify the rape and break down of our own, which is why Jay-Z and other like him are whatever to me. See I give him credit [laughs]! But for real, I understand why people do it and that is the sad part. They do it, because life is hard and some aren’t blessed with the options that the rest of us have, regardless of how much they say we have choices. So in the song, I adopted the mindset of my neighborhood, and of my neighbors, and American Pie is what came out.

Mr. Bess: On May 19th the “I Choose You EP” comes out for Free download. What can we expect from this EP?

Gio Basicali: Positive music that you can play as soon as you wake up and find inspiration and motivation for the day. This project is not about me being a dope MC. This project is about connecting to real people, which is the reason that I wanted to give it away. "I choose you" is my theme for the year. It’s like “pay if forward;” use your gift, talent or skill to make the world a better place. I just wanted to give as many people as I could a gift of good music that would aid them in becoming better people.

Mr. Bess: What are the struggles for a L.A. based solo independent Hip Hop artist?

Gio Basicali: Wow! That is a big question. Lack of support, I would have to say. L.A. is real hype beast for the most part, and without real backing it is hard to rise above the surface. It takes real dedication to break out in this game here in L.A. Everyone comes here to break out. Most are terrible, but every once in a while, you find a diamond in the rough. It’s easy to create music now, because you can produce music in your own home, which makes the market place is crazy. There are too many choices, and the ones who ‘suck ass’ always seem to be the biggest pushers [Laughs]! The ones with talent just seem to give up because the fame is not worth not being heard for what we are really trying to say. Most just throw in the towel and keep the low profile. I find myself having to be really creative this last year. I took a break to see if this is something that I wanted to keep at, and out of that time I came up with the song, “Fuck Plugging That Dumb Shit.” It’s like I can’t let the dark side win. So I just took it upon myself and said, look, no matter what comes my way I am going to make this happen. No label deals here. Even if one is offered it would only be as two partners coming together. No giving away master or creative control to someone who could care less about the music and its message. And for that, this game is almost impossible for independent artists in L.A. But I feel the time is here for artist like me. The world is looking for artists like us because when you are trying to improve your life the sounds of commercial music is not hitting, and for that reason Hip Hop has lost its appeal across the board. Thanks to the Internet, we have a window to show ourselves. But even that window has its time limit before the corporation finds a way to block it or corner it.

Mr. Bess: At one time in your life you served as a youth minister. What made you make that transition to Hip Hop?

Gio Basicali: I have always been Hip Hop, even as a youth minister I was Hip Hop. The reason why I left my position as a youth minister is because the religion became a roadblock for me. The rules didn’t add up, and they would like to say it does but it doesn’t. The God that I read about in the bible was not the same God that the church at large is all about. God is not black and white; he is as colorful as the world, and the people he made, he created plain and simple. Instead of becoming the better man I had always hoped to be, I was becoming a lie, so it was time for me to leave. My pursuit of God is very serious. I would consider myself to be a spiritual person, but I am no longer trying to get people to see it the way I do. I am just trying to live it out. I don’t consider myself to be a Christian, but rather one influenced by Christ, teaching based on my environment. So don’t worry, I am not trying to convert anyone THROUGH my music.

Mr. Bess: Do you think you will ever end up back in church as a minister?

Gio Basicali: Definitely not as a profession, but yes, when it comes to the discussion of seeking spiritual truth. That institution would have to be very open minded, though, for me to say what I want [laughs].

Mr. Bess: How do you feel about Hip Hop on the radio?

Gio Basicali: Bullshit!!!

Mr. Bess: What inspires a Gio Basicali song?

Gio Basicali: The Beat tells me what it wants first, and then my life experiences come into play, and then words come out. The mood has to be right for me to create because I reach far into myself and others around me for ideas. I like building with producers who have a clue as to what they want to communicate with their beat so that the energy of the song is right.

Mr. Bess: Name 5 albums that everyone should own?

Gio Basicali: Black on Both Sides: Mos Def, Reflection Eternal: Talib Kwali, Like Water for Chocolate: Common, Aquemini: Outkast, and Gio Basicali.

Mr. Bess: Who are some of your musical influences?

Gio Basicali: Mos Def, Black Thought, and The Roots are my absolute favorite MC’s, and the list just goes on and on. I listen to a lot of music, but the funny thing is, I don’t pay attention to names of songs so I could never tell people what song I am thinking about. I just have to sing it to them to tell them. Maybe I will do a video blog one day with me singing all the songs of artists that influence me, [Laughs]!

Mr. Bess: Who do you see yourself working with in the future?

Gio Basicali: I have to work with Mos Def and Black Thought before I die, it just has to happen. I have always wanted to rock over some Will I Am production. Musiq Soul Child is on that dream list with John Meyer, Kanye, and Herbie Hancock [laughs]! I know I have a tendency to dream big. I can’t see the lines now, but I am hoping that independent music would reach that far into the game where celebs in the game would recognize and be down to build; there now it’s out there.

Mr. Bess: What message do you have for the world through your music?

Gio Basicali: Hope! I want people to find power and inspiration in my music. I want to hear stories, like, “Hey Gio, I was listening to your music in my car and it made me feel good.” This is the kind of music I write, “Feel Good Music.” I don’t want to be that MC who can’t get off the topic of how dope he is. I want my music to feel different every time so that whatever mood you are in I got something for you. I create “timeless music,” because it never gets old. I am not really the artist for trendy hits for the charts on any level. I truly just write songs that I feel will always be relevant and if one of those happens to hit, indeed I will be surprised! No Hype, Just Hip Hop!

Mr. Bess: What advice do you have for up & coming artist on the rise?

Gio Basicali: Be true to yourself, and when you don’t have money, be creative because there is always a way.

Tha Boogie

2009-05-05T13:34:00.000-07:00

If Prince, No Doubt, Outkast, The Fugees, Gnarls Barkley, Timbaland, The Neptunes, Cold Play, Kelis, & Missy Elliot all came together and created a musical baby, you would get Tha Boogie. Coming from Rancho Cucamonga, Ca, Tha Boogie is one most creative groups to come out of Southern California. The group consists of three members, who are all uniquely talented, and have an amazing work ethic. NuSchool (Singer/song writer/Rapper/vocal producer/arranger), Korus (Singer/Song writer), and Lejin (Singer/Music Producer/arranger), form Tha Boogie. They write, produce, record, arrange, and perform their own music. They recently just finished up a 10 city tour across the nation with Raphael Saadiq, and are currently working on an EP which will be released soon. Tha Boogie is a group that has captured the attention of many and should definitely not be slept on!

Mr. Bess: How did Tha Boogie Meet?

Tha Boogie: NuSchool and Korus are cousins and Nu School and Lejin connected in high school. We began to make music together as solo artist and then decided to put together the group later on to be more efficient financially since our family was backing us.

Mr. Bess: Your group has something new to bring to bring to the table of the music industry. How does Tha Boogie come up with that unique sound?

Tha Boogie: We just combined all of our influences to our liking, and found ourselves within that. The music we create is just a result of it.

Mr. Bess: Do you have a special process for making a song?

Tha Boogie: Lejin usually begins the direction with the production. Once he has something he feels like should be taken to the next level, he hands it over (like a baton) to NuSchool to begin the whole creation process vocally and lyrically. Once the demos are done, all three of us get together to record our parts and make it cohesive.

Mr. Bess: Groups tend to have creative differences. How do you get over those humps?

Tha Boogie: We're pretty open to all suggestions, and incorporate each others individuality in the creation process. Plus we trust each other enough in what we do to avoid a lot of those differences.

Mr. Bess: Who in the group has the worst bad habit and what are the bad habits?

Tha Boogie: We all have a bad habit and our habit is that we can be quite impatient and like to keep working.

Mr. Bess: Who in the group jokes around the most?

Tha Boogie: We all have our moments and we love them.

Mr. Bess: Who in the group brings everyone together when things are getting out of hand?

Tha Boogie: Well we are pretty similar in ways of being laid back, and things tend to not get out of hand with us.

Mr. Bess: This question is for Korus. How is it being the only girl in the group?

Tha Boogie (Korus): Well it's cool because I'm a bit of a tom-boy, so I'm use to rolling with the fellas, and plus we're family so it's all love.

Mr. Bess: Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, Janelle Monae, and Tha Boogie all on tour together. How does that sound?

Tha Boogie: It sounds like a dream; it sounds like something we would love to happen.

Mr. Bess: You guys and girl are currently on tour with Raphael Saadiq. How did that come about?

Tha Boogie: Well it was casually suggested by the label, and it was something that went from three shows on the west coast to a total of ten shows with cities like New York and Atlanta included, a crazy experience.

Mr. Bess: Raphael Saadiq is currently featured on your song titled “I see U.” Do you have plans on working with him in the future?

Tha Boogie: Yeah, sure we have a great relationship with Raphael and he's been very open to us and our ideas and what we are trying to do.

Mr. Bess: You are all currently working on your new mixtape right now and mentioned you had a lot of big name features on it. Can you give us any names?

Tha Boogie: There are a lot of people we would like to work with, so hopefully in the future who knows.

Mr. Bess: What is the name of the new mixtape, and when can we expect it?

Tha Boogie: Well we actually made a switch and it is going to be an EP and we don't have an official name yet for the EP, but we are looking at a release for early summer.

Mr. Bess: If Tha Boogie could work with any artist or group right now who would it be?

Tha Boogie: No Doubt!!!!!!!

Mr. Bess: Name five albums everyone should own?

Tha Boogie:

1. All the Kelis Albums
2. Missy-Supa Doopa Fly
3. Outkast-Speakerboxx/The Love Below
4. Any No Doubt Album
5. Raphael Saadiq-Instant Vintage

Mr. Bess: Your music is very unique. What message do you have for the world through your music?

Tha Boogie: You can do anything.

Mr. Bess: Lastly, do you have any advice for any up & coming artist trying to make it in the music industry?

Tha Boogie: Stay in line, and be yourself!

What happend to Hideo Nomo?

2009-04-25T18:13:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a LA Dodgers Fan at all (GO ANGELS). A few days ago a random baseball thought came to my mind…..What ever happened to Japanese Pitcher Hideo Nomo?

In 1995 he debuted with the LA Dodgers. His wind-up was so unorthodox they nicknamed it “The Tornado.” 1995 was his year because he started that year’s All-Star game and also won Rookie of the year. 1996 was also a good year of Nomo. Nike gave him his own signature sneaker called the “Air Max Nomo.” After 1997 he pretty much fell off the planet. From 1998-2000 Hideo Nomo played for the New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, and Detroit Tigers. From 2001-2003 Nomo became rejuvenated, throwing the Baseball as if he just entered the league for the first time. In 2001 the Boston Red Sox signed him and he threw his second no-hitter in his Sox debut. In 2002 he returned to the Dodgers, and ended having his best season since 1996. In 2003 Hideo Nomo started showing signs of fatigue and injury, and his career went down hill from that point on. In 2008 The Kansas City Royals released Hideo Nomo on April 29, 2008. On July 17, 2008 Hideo Nomo officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball.

HERE IS A LITTLE FACT FOR YOU WHACK DODGER FANS: Hideo Nomo is the Last Dodger Pitcher to Throw a No Hitter.

I Denied My Own Membership at the "Gentlemen's Club"

2009-04-20T22:07:00.000-07:00

In the United States the term “Gentlemen’s Club” is frequently used as a euphemism for strip clubs. Wikianswers.com states if you want to become a stripper, you have these four attributes:

1.) Toned Body

2.) An ability to be able to talk and flirt (pretend not to be shy)
3.) Must have thick skin, meaning don’t take anything personally that people might say.

4.) Be a self starter, meaning no one is going to tell you what to do.

In addition to those four attributes, other websites suggested that you have no hair sticking out sides of your G-String, and exercise is a must.

One may ask themselves, “Why is Mr. Bess talking about stripper?” That is a very good question that I am willing to answer. Personally I’m not one who will go to strip clubs often. In my lifetime I have been to a few strip clubs. This one particular day my brother picks me up from work and tells me that we are going somewhere funny. We pull up at the gentlemen’s club in Victorville, Ca. I honestly don’t know what to tell you all right now. It was like I walked into the twilight zone, which featured depressed unattractive strippers, who could not dance. I think a strip club should have decent looking girls that can dance, flirt, entertain, and the club should be appealing at least.

Stripper #1: Was a 40 year mother with three children. She wore a blond wig, and stomach that resembled a beer belly or another child was on the way. She would always mention that she was too old to be dancing, and would smoke after her set. She would always hint about being thirsty as well, but never received a drink.

Stripper #2: So stripper #2 had an ok body. She walked up to me with her head down and touched my leg, and then shook my hand and said her name. When she looked up and smiled, I devoured my gin & tonic in one gulp, and yelled “GOT DAMN,” ridiculously loud in my head. Girl looked like she had been brushing her teeth with Pine Tree bark, and rinsing her mouth out with firecrackers. Girls teeth were F*^$%D Up!

Stripper #3: I don’t have that much to say about stripper #3. She had cottage cheese booty, and needed to step up her dance game. She was doing the Bankhead bounce, and two-stepping her whole set.
I’m going to have to say that was my worst experience ever in a strip club. My brother told me there is a strip club connected to a gas station in Wyoming, which features a one armed stripper. I’m trying to go see that before she gets to old….lol! That was wrong of me! Well that concludes my blog tonight. Be sure to check out the next artist feature interview which will feature upcoming California artists named THA BOOGIE who are currently touring with Raphael Saadiq.

Artist Feature: VERSIS

2009-04-10T23:05:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the second artist feature on wakeupmrbess.blogspot.com. Sorry that I haven’t been keeping everyone updated on my random thoughts, and staying true to my blog a day diet. Despite I go to school full time and work full time, there is no excuse for flaking out on my blog a day diet!

As I said before, welcome to the second artist feature on wakeupmrbess.blogspot.com. How many people get excited when you have a new friend request on MySpace? I know I get excited when I see that message pop up. “I hope it’s a fine girl!” Come to find out, it’s a music artist. Most artists don’t even get a chance with me. I automatically click deny! Well one day I decided to give someone a chance. I got a friend request from an artist by the name of VERSIS. The song that came on is titled “Time’s a Wastin’” which caught my attention right away. He has his own unique style, and all his tracks are definitely worth listening to. VERSIS definitely has a bright future ahead of him. He has the skills and talent to take him a long way, and is someone you need look out for in the future. So next time you get a random friend request on MySpace and it is from an artist by the name of VERSIS, I would just go head and add him because he is making moves!!!!

Mr. Bess: Being that this is your first Blogspot interview, can you let the readers and future fans know a little about yourself?

VERSIS: I'm in this to make people remember the times when the MC was insatiable when it came to nourishment; staying hungry is the key to me. I’m not a songwriting robot, I write when I feel moved. Writing for the sake of it doesn't cut-it for me. I started off as just a fan; slowly, I started noticing I had a way with words. Those words turned to lines, lines to rhymes, rhymes to songs.

Mr. Bess: What inspired you to come up with the name VERSIS?

VERSIS: I initially wanted to be seen as 'the alternative,’ in other words “versus," thus the spawning of my stage name.

Mr. Bess: What made you want to get involved with Hip Hop?

VERSIS: Back in elementary school my cousin and older brother bumped nothin' but the classics.They would play everything from A Tribe Called Quest to the early Black Eyed Peas. I remember listening and asking myself: "HOW do they do that?!" Haha! I got a clue my freshman year of high school. I moved in with my older brother after moms & I had a falling-out. Turns out he had some programs installed on his computer (Reason, Garage Band etc.) I fooled around with that for some time, and then I started writing to my production. My boy from Inglewood, CA, Lucid was a few steps ahead of me on the production. He started sending me instrumentals & I'd get to writing. Sometimes, I’d bring 'em to school via CD and let Foci (featured on "Detonation") hear his and my productions. It wasn't until late '08 that I was urged by a mentor-figure to get a bit more serious about music. Here I am.

Mr. Bess: Who are some of your musical influences?

VERSIS: Man...Not fair….Haha! Let me give you a brief list: Slum Village, Black Milk, SelfSays, Erule, DJ Quik, Black Moon, & needless to say A Tribe Called Quest.

Mr. Bess: March 26, 2009 was your first time on stage at the House of Blues. How was your first experience?

VERSIS: Yes, yes...It was fun. I learned some things that night. If the engineers don't turn your mic up, you gotta turn it up yourself. Haha! I wasn't as nervous as I'd thought I'd be. The moment before I got on stage, my legs started to tremble a little, but I sucked it up, went on, despite I felt the trembles trying to return a few times during the set.

Mr. Bess: In your HOB (House of Blues) backstage video, it is said that a girl went up to you and talked to you. Was that really the first time a girl came up to talk to you…lol?!?!?!?!

VERSIS: Haha! That was Foci trying to burn me in front of the masses. I WILL say that was the 1st time a girl randomly approached me, and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I never did get her name.

Mr. Bess: Random GIRL who kissed VERSIS…….If you are out there, Give him the digits…Hahaha!

Mr. Bess: What is the VERSIS writing process for making a song?

VERSIS: I'd hate to say it as cliché as it sounds, but my everyday life adds to it. I remember certain things from times past, and if they stuck with me, they just may show-up in a rhyme. There has been many times where I'd be in class and something would pop up in my head; I’d scramble for paper, and scribble it down. I'd either start-up something there, or finish it when I'd find a beat to suit it.

Mr. Bess: What message do you have for the world through your music?

VERSIS: Make adversity work in YOUR favor.

Mr. Bess: When can we expect an album from VERSIS?

VERSIS: Haha I felt that was coming...I'm actually working on an EP with my boy, Lucid that should be done sometime this year. Dude's a dope producer, and he is a bit younger than me. I've known him since elementary. That’s all I'm going to say. Oh, and we're BRINGIN' it!!! If you stay ready, you don't got to get ready!

Mr. Bess: Name three albums that everyone should own.

VERSIS: 1.) Slum Village: Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1, 2.) DJ Quik: Balance & Options, 3.) De La Soul: The Grind Date

Mr. Bess: If you had the opportunity to work with any artist right now, who would it be?

VERSIS: I'd have to say Elzhi of Slum Village.

MR. BESS: Personally, I prefer Underground Hip Hop over mainstream Hip Hop, because I feel they have more to say, and a better message. What do you believe are the biggest struggles for Underground Hip Hop Artist?

VERSIS: Some of the only adversities I'm facing is being listened to, but not being heard. People tend to just feel vibes and judge music on just that vibe. I also have to deal with the fact that most of the good lyricists make sounds that fall upon deaf ears for some time. Oh yea……and the MISCONCEPTION of the term "underground." I feel that when some people hear that term, they’re automatically turned-off.

Mr. Bess: Lastly, what kind of tips can you offer for someone else who is trying to get into the Hip Hop game?

VERSIS: Do YOU;"assimilation's not an option"

Artist Feature: DJ A_RON

2009-03-26T21:29:00.000-07:00

Welcome to another day of my Blog, and welcome to the first Up and coming artist on the rise interview. A few blogs ago I mentioned to everyone that i was going to start featuring up & coming artist on the rise on my blogspot page. I have reached out to some people and now I have interviews lined up that you all will be able to read and watch on my page. The very person I got to interview is a long time friend of my mine. This guy got be me into my first Bar and Club before I was even of age. He goes by the name of DJ A_ROn and he is a up and coming DJ on the rise from California. He must be doing something right if he Ryan Leslie giving him a shout out on the video below! Check out the interview, click on the links below, and show him some love. If you would like to be featured on my page be sure to get in contact with me.

Mr. Bess: Most people don’t you as well as I do, so give the readers a little background on you.

DJ A_Ron: Well my name is Aaron, but most people know me as A_RON. I've been spinnin’ on the 1’s and 2’s since 97. The last 5 years I’ve been heavy in the club scene in Orange County/Los Angeles area. I also play the drums, and have been for about 17 years. I'm Filipino and I love food! Haha.

Mr. Bess: What inspired you to become a DJ?

DJ A_Ron: The music was and is my main inspiration to become a DJ. The more and more I got into it and started doing clubs, just being able to move the crowd and make massive amounts of people dance to the music you play was a dope feeling.

Mr. Bess: As an up and coming DJ, What keeps you motivated to keep on doing what you are doing?

DJ A_Ron: What motivates me to continue doing what I do is the constant support I get from my friends, family, my industry peers, and even the people at the clubs I play at. Being a DJ isn't as easy as most people think, but having the support from your family and friends helps. It's also an awesome feeling when you just finished rocking a club and the people come up to you at the booth and tell you that you've made their night that much more enjoyable.

Mr. Bess: As a DJ, who amongst your peers do you look up to?

DJ A_Ron: One person I really look up to and admire as a DJ, is DJ Vice. Not only is he an awesome DJ, he's just as humble as he is talented. He is definitely one person who has changed the face of DJ’n forever. He plays at clubs from Hollywood, to Las Vegas, to New York, and Miami and is co-owner of one of the newest street wear and custom shoe boutiques in Santa Barbara called CRSVR (pronounced Crossover). He's been named the number one club DJ in the nation, with an already booked schedule though the rest of the year. Vice definitely hustles, and I only hope to be half as successful as he is.

Mr. Bess: What do you feel are the biggest challenges for an up and coming DJ?

DJ A_Ron: One of the biggest challenges in being an up and coming DJ is getting your name out there. A lot of beginner DJ’s think they can buy the equipment and DJ at a club over night. It doesn't work that way. You have to really go out there and network to get your name out there, eventually the gigs will follow.

Mr. Bess: How do you feel about the current state of Hip Hop?

DJ A_RON: Hip-Hop today is very much different from when I first started DJ’n. You have artists like Soulja Boy and songs like "Stanky Leg" that are really popular today as opposed to hip hop back in the early 90s. Hip hop is always changing and evolving to the times, and I am very interested to see where hip hop will go in the future.

Mr. Bess: Many people do not know you have produced a couple songs for some up and coming artists. What kind of future do you see yourself having as a producer?

DJ A_Ron: Yeah, I've produced a couple songs for some up and coming artists, the most recent was "Vodka Tonic" for Jennifer Fabian (www.myspace.com./JenniferFabian). It really started off as just a "for fun" project that we did, and it ended up getting a lot of love and support in the clubs. I always wanted to produce music for artists since I started DJ’n and playing drums. Some of today's hottest producers started off as DJ’s, for example Dr. Dre and Just Blaze. I've always enjoyed being a part of the creative process when it comes to music and I hope to do more productions in the future. DJ’s have their ears to what’s hot in the streets, radio, and in the clubs, so that's what makes them great producers.

Mr. Bess: Currently you are part of an online radio broadcast called the Tuesday Night News on http://www.offtherecordmixshow.com/. How have you benefited from the Radio show?

DJ A_Ron: Being a part of Off the Record Mix Show has been great! Just being able to play music via online radio, to anybody tuning in worldwide is awesome! It’s different then just playing at a club. I've been able to meet some great people thru the radio show, from fellow DJ’s, artists, and being able to interview them and promote them on my radio show. I've even made some great friends with some DJ’s and artists that I probably wouldn't be able to meet in a regular setting, if it wasn't for the radio show.

Mr. Bess: Out of all the venues you have spun at, which one made you feel like you have reached that super star status?

DJ A_Ron: Hahaha, I wish I was at a "Super star status" level of DJ’n! One venue that I recently played at, that made me feel like I've "made it" was LAX in Hollywood. That place is such a historical spot that some of the best in the business have played at. It's also co-owned by DJ AM too. When I walked into the DJ booth the first time, that night, there was a poster on the inside of the booth of him. I felt like I was at DJ AM's house, playing on his turntables, so I had to make sure I did better than usual job that night.

Mr. Bess: Also out of all the venues you have spun at, which spot has the hottest females?

DJ A_Ron: Hahaha! Oh man, this is a hard one! (Pause) No pun intended, haha! There isn't just one venue that has more hotter females than the other, but a few venues that have some dope eye candy(s) are LAX (Hollywood), The Highlands (Hollywood), and the waitresses at Mai Tai Bar in Long Beach are definitely dime pieces!

Mr. Bess: What is the hottest song in the clubs right now?

DJ A_Ron: Ron Browz is definitely killing it in the clubs right now with "Pop Champagne" and even with "Arab Money" and "Jumping out the Window"!

Mr. Bess: If you could go on tour with any artist right now who would you go with and why?

DJ A_Ron: If I could go on tour with an artist, it would probably have to be Ryan Leslie. I've been following his youtube videos since day one, when he first produced "Me and You" for Cassie and instantly became a fan. He's a dope producer and artist, and to be his tour DJ would be a dream come true!

Mr. Bess: You failed to mention that Ryan Leslie did a drop for you as well!

Mr. Bess: Who is the best player in the NBA right now?

DJ A_Ron: My dude Kobe Bryant! Hands down!

Mr. Bess: Who is going to win the NBA finals?

DJ A_Ron: The Lakers! Letssss Gooo!

Mr. Bess: Do you envy Tony Parker because he is married to Eva Longoria?

DJ A_Ron: More than you'll ever know!

Mr. Bess: What are 3 things you cannot go without everyday?

DJ A_Ron: My Blackberry, My Laptop, and TWITTER! Haha follow me at www.Twitter.com/DJA_RON!

Mr. Bess: Filipino’s have some amazing foods. What dish would you recommend to someone who has never tried Filipino food?

DJ A_Ron: Chicken Adobo! That's the usual dish that everyone tries first, but my personal fave is Sinigang with the spareribs! Just the way my mama makes it!

Mr. Bess: I can’t deny it…..Chicken Adobo hits the spot every time!

Mr. Bess: No one has been able to answer this question, but do you know what juicy fruit gum taste like?

DJ A_Ron: It tastes fruity to me! Whatever that is?!?!?!

Mr. Bess: Being that you are single, what 5 qualities do you look for in a female?

DJ A_Ron: 5 qualities that I look for in a female are:
1) Style (Gotta know how to dress!)
2) Family Oriented
3) Undertanding (Of my lifestyle, and the work I do)
4) Gotta be able to dance!
5) Gotta have ass!

Mr. Bess: You heard it first ladies! If you have those 5 qualities and more get at DJ A_Ron!

Mr. Bess: If you could ask President Obama to change one thing, what would it be?

DJ A_Ron: I really don't know! I think he's doing a great job so far. Maybe if he could kick down us DJ’s with more money, or just me!

Mr. Bess: What advice do you have for any up and coming DJ’s?

DJ A_Ron: My advice would be to keep practicing and keep grinding. The only way you're going to get better as a DJ is to keep practicing. Go out and network, meet promoters and other DJ’s. Don't get discouraged when you first start out, Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't rush greatness. Be patient and don't let anyone knock your hustle!

Liquid Obesity

2009-03-25T22:26:00.000-07:00

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog on a specific topic. Lately I’ve just been writing nonsense about myself. So before I hop into tonight’s blog I would like to update everyone on some nonsense that has been going on in my life since the last time I’ve talked to ya’ll. Last week at work I was accused of bringing meth to my job, because I was caught on camera eating my lunch next to the box that contained the drug. I had to go through an interrogation, where they would ask the same question 15 different times, but would word it differently to try to trick you. If the drug was marijuana maybe they would have had a case…hahahaha! I’m just playing, because I don’t smoke marijuana, nor do I take part in any drug usage at all. I can’t wait to get a haircut tomorrow, because all the stupid stresses of life are gone. I have hair that has grown on the side of face that looks like Velcro. So if you have one of those Nerf Tennis balls, it will probably stick to the side of my face if you threw it at me. You have officially completed my nonsense section of tonight’s blog.

So today’s topic is titled Liquid Obesity. “Oh my God, I think I’m becoming pregnant with a beer baby!”

“I’ve drunk so much beer over time, and now I’m fat!”

I am someone who likes to drink and try different types of beers. Beer can be amazingly good and amazingly disgusting, all depending on your preference. At one time I was running at least 5 times a week and eating healthy. School started and work became crazy so I could not stay on top of exercising. One day I looked in the mirror and noticed my perfectly ripped abs were kind of disappearing. That moment had to be one of the scariest moments of my life! That next day I ran three miles, and woke up the next morning with my legs in pain.

Why does beer create fat stomachs?

The reason is very simple, because beer is a high calorie beverage, filled with empty calories which our body can do very little with besides turn into ugly fat. A glass of beer can contain 146 calories, which is a lot. Since many people consume more than 1 glass each drinking night, the calories can add up. Other negative effects about beer which may cause a beer belly is that beer makes us hungry and usually makes us eat a lot of snacks. This increases our calorie consumption and the accumulation of stomach fat.

Wow Mr. Bess you sounded very smart….lol! Well I would like to end tonight’s blog with a funny video of Pharrell dancing at a McDonalds in Paris! Crazy guy he is!!!!

Just provided you with some Blah, Blah, and Blah!!!

2009-03-16T21:22:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that if I could sing, I probably would not have any friends, because all conversations would sound like a musical. Anyways, how is everyone doing tonight?

(Silence)

That’s cool, because I don’t like answering people when they ask me questions (rude).
Personally I hate to gamble and I was given four scratchers on my birthday. Like the majority of gifts, I will use it. Out of four scratchers I won $4 on a $3 card. I’m thankful for that scratcher, because that will cover a meal for me or something else important where $4’s will be the deciding factor.

So last blog I failed to mention that every single picture in my camera was deleted! Things happen, and I’m happy that the bulk of them were saved on my laptop, except the photos from that night. It was truly a sad moment, but life goes on, and new moments will be captured.

The weather in Apple Valley, Ca was amazing today. It felt so good, that I put in a little 2 mile run and washed my car!

Awkward Moment: Today while I was at work, and a small Asian woman came in to pay her bill. She did not know how to work the machine and ask for my help. I was not paying attention until she tapped me on my butt twice and then asked for help.

I can admit today’s blog is really boring! Homework drains a lot out of the mind or maybe I’m just a boring guy…..who knows. Well time for me to get back on this homework!

Happy Birthday to Mr. Bess

2009-03-15T19:28:00.000-07:00

I just became another year older today. I just turned 22 years old…..WOW!

Happy Birthday to ME!

End of Blog!

HAHAHAHA!

I’m just joking with all you readers. It has been a while since I posted a blog and I just wanted to have a little bit of fun! We have a small amount of catching up to do. A couple weeks ago, delight came to me in 4 boxes. I’m talking about sweet Girl Scout Cookies. I received my Thin Mints, Shortbread, Tagalongs, & Dulce de Leche cookies. They are all wonderfully delicious in my opinion. I also read an article about a Georgia inmate who escaped from prison to steal 14 packs of cigarettes from a convenience store, and he got arrested trying to sneak back into prison.
(Silence)
I have nothing to say about that!

WARNING: IF YOU EAT SPICY FOOD AND THROW UP, IT WILL FEEL LIKE HELL IS IN YOUR THOART!

I’m still recovering from last night trying to regain some energy as I type this blog. So I went to go take a shower today and there was no soap. What is a man to do in this situation? Well I grabbed the shampoo of course; because I wanted my whole body to be dandruff free…..lol! It is time for everyone to watch college basketball at its best, because March Madness starts on Thursday!!!!! The brackets are out…….Who is going to take it all? I know ya’ll have missed me, so I’m going to get back on my blog a day diet!!! Until next time good night!

SICK DAYS/MixTapes/MARCH

2009-03-05T19:48:00.000-08:00

Hello World! I know I have been the biggest slacker of all on my blogs lately. The last blog I posted was on February 24, 2009 and now we are on the 5th day of March (10 more days until I turn 22)! Since March 1, 2009 I have been sick with the common cold. My nose has been leaking like a broken faucet for days now. If my nostrils weren’t so big would my nose be leaking as much as it is now? Well I don’t ever plan having plastic surgery on my nose in my lifetime, therefore I’ll never know. When I woke up this morning, my lips looked like I was eating powdered donuts before I went to sleep, eye crust was in full effect, nose was clogged, and the voice was groggy. I HATE BEING SICK!!!!!! I even have lost sleep because my body can’t choose between hot and cold.

Well this week I didn’t purchase an album but I downloaded 2 FREE Mixtapes. The first mixtape I downloaded was Kanye West: Live on VH1 Storytellers. This mixtape is 10 tracks of just pure amazing. If you have never been to a Kanye West Concert you must go to one in your lifetime. I like this mixtape because it feels like your at the show and he gives you a lot of insight on why he made a lot of tracks. The version of “Stronger” on this CD is crazy! Check out this FREE mixtape for yourselves.

http://www.mininova.org/tor/2333807

The Second Mixtape I downloaded was by a newcomer who goes by the name of Quest. His mixtape is titled Distant Travels into Soul Theory. It is simply brilliant, soulful, laid back, and relaxing. It won’t be the last I listen to this guy and I’ll definitely be on the look out for him in the future. So give him a chance and listen to him spit over classic soulful joints. http://illroots.com/waxx/DTIST.zip

AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW: WILL IT BE BEATFREAKS or QUEST CREW?

MARCH IS THE WORLD’S GREATEST MONTH BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY IS IN MARCH!!!! IF YOU HAVE A MARCH BIRTHDAY AS WELL YOU ARE MOST LIKELY AN AMAZING PERSON!!!!

I’m Feelin’ Myself a Little to Much (Most Random Blog Yet!)

2009-02-24T20:29:00.000-08:00

What’s Up World! It’s another day, another night, and another blog just for you! Last night at 11:00pm I bought K’Naan’s Album Troubadour on ITunes. Great Music + Something New = AMAZING! Finally a breath of fresh air has entered the music industry. It is a must have album, so go and pick it up!

SAD NEWS: I lost my IPod! What Am I to do? Listen to the Radio…….NOOOOO!!!!! Well I do like Dr. Laura because she puts people on blast about their problems. Now my long walks to class will be silent. Looks like I’m going back to burning CD’s again……*Sigh* Also while at school today I put money in a Pepsi vending machine to get a drink and nothing came out. I was really thirsty to!

UPDATE: I FOUND MY IPOD, but have not got my $1.50 from the Pepsi Vending Machine!

Have you ever met someone more perfect than I? I am a rare breed, so that would be a no for you. I have the body of an African Greek God. I stay in shape by wrestling with elephants, racing cheetah’s, and bench pressing hippopotamus. Anytime I go swimming or take a shower, I always come out dry, therefore no towel is needed. Women love my facial hair because it feels like velvet. Women ranging between the ages of 18-100 faint while in my presence. The last girl who hugged me ended up in a coma for 12 months(She is doing well). One time I slept with an Asian girl. After we were done, her eyes became round. Last year I went on America’s Best Dance Crew alone, and won the whole show. Since I dance so well, I just glide and moon walk to all my destinations. When I sing on rainy days, God opens the clouds, and the sun only shines on me. Back when I was 10 years old Hulk Hogan attempted to leg drop me, but I broke his legs before he could even think about it. I was the only kid nice enough to let the Trix rabbit try his own cereal. Chuck Norris will admit that my roundhouse kick sent him flying through a window on the 85th floor of the Empire State Building. Ever since that time, we have been best friends.

I believe I have took this blog to far now….LoL! I had a good time with it though!

Boredom does not kill; it just makes you think of crazy stuff!!! Have A Good Night!!!!!

Things are going Good but Things could get Better

2009-02-22T21:58:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another day of my blog! It’s been a few, but days back I’m back in the swing of things, since I’m back in school full time and working full time as well. I promise to keep ya’ll updated on my random thoughts, and new updates with the Wake up Mr. Bess Movement! A few days ago I played laser tag, and had a blast. Instead of teams it was a 16 person free for all which was insane. That was my Fun for last week and dinning at PF Changs near Downtown Disney.

Something that I am really looking forward this Tuesday is the album release of K’Naan. His album is titled Troubadour. Check out the album premier at http://www.myspace.com/knaanmusic. I’m feeling the whole album so it is a must buy on Tuesday for me. I’m sorry that I didn’t have a crazy topic to talk about today like I usually do, but I do have something for everyone to look forward to. The Wake Up Mr. Bess Comic Series will be dropping very soon! Crazy I know! It is based of the Life and Times of Mr. Bess with a hint of fantasy and a positive message. All the art work is done by Cary Middleton and you can reach him at http://www.myspace.com/giftedchild06

Something else that I would like to start doing is featuring artist on my page. So if you have any kind of talent hit me up at dbessjr315@aol.com or the sites listed below.

Happy BeLated Valentine's Day + Randomness = Blog!

2009-02-15T20:42:00.000-08:00

“Hey Babe, where is my Valentine’s gift?”

“Baby, you knew I was cheap when you met me.”

“Did you really think I was going to going to pay full price for a gift?!?!?!?”

“Baby I’ll get twice as many gifts the day after Valentine’s when everything goes on sale!”

Valentine’s Day is a day of Love. It is also a day where a man has an excuse to be nice. Many November babies are made on this day. Lastly it is a day for all the lonely low esteem people to feel sad. I don’t know what everyone did on Valentine’s Day, but if you had an intimate dinner in a crowded restaurant, went to the movies, walked on the beach, rented a hotel room, decorated your home for an intimate evening, went to a club, or just kicked it alone, Mr. Bess hopes you all had a wonderful day!

For two days I did not check my Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter. I felt like a smoker trying to give up cigarettes. Those three web sites are part of my daily routine. I check my accounts from my phone and laptop. Can someone say ADDICTION!!!! Did anyone see 5’9” Nate Robinson Dunk over 6’11” Dwight Howard in the Slam Dunk contest?

RANDOMNESS: I had some Chinese food today which made me take the kids to the pool fast!!!! I should have known something was wrong with my orange chicken, because every piece was crispy like a Dorito!

MYSPACE DRAMA = LAME!!!!

I would like to leave everyone with a quote I like by Langston Hughes.

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.”

Small Part of my Weekend

2009-02-10T19:46:00.000-08:00

What’s Up internet World! I missed you all for the last few days. I’ve been out and about these last few days. Life seems so much better when you do have work and you get to relax. That’s why I feel becoming a Vacation Specialist would be one of the best jobs ever! 2009 is still going strong for Mr. Bess. Doors are starting to open; I have acquired some sex appeal (HaHaHa), and the ladies are starting to like me for some reason now. I wonder what the difference is?!?!?!? I don’t know and who cares right! It has been a crazy weekend indeed. I’m no celebrity blogger but Chris Brown and Rihanna are the Ike and Tina Turner and Alex Rodriguez added himself to the long list of sports players who used drugs to enhance their performance on the field. That’s all I have to say about that.

Well I consider my weekend one of the best weekends ever! Relaxation hit its highest peak. Kid Cudi never showed up but N.E.R.D. put on a good show. Concerts in the Mud will make your shoes extremely grimy. If you didn’t know, now you know for future reference. All the girls in riverside you…..I freakin Love you All! They provided me and my cousin with Five Star hotel accommodations and they are some cool ass Friends to have! Hope we get to enjoy many more weekends together! Laser Tag Anyone (inside Joke)?!?!?!

Awkward Moment: While kicking it in the beer garden of the concert, and man appears and says he would kiss another man to see girls kiss?!?!?!

Random Thoughts: Doesn’t suck when you wake up to the smell of your own fart?!?!?! Don’t you hate the fact that your eyes water up while trying to pull out a nose hair?

Well I’m a little off on my blog game right now since I took a break. I’m going to have to end it right now. So sorry to cut it short. Disappointment I know. Tomorrow I promise I post some cool stuff, but what is more cool than pictures of me and my favorite girls from riverside!
Have a goodnight!

Techniques Used When Regular Nintendo Games Do Not Work

2009-02-05T20:39:00.000-08:00

Hello Internet World! Once Again I would like to welcome everyone to another day of my random blog! The weather in the High Desert is kind of crazy. Strong winds and the rain drops are ridiculously large. With weather like this I plan on staying in tonight despite it is the start of the weekend for most. Personally I’m excited for this weekend! Heat 2009 which will include N.E.R.D. & Kid Cudi! In additional to those performers, I get to party with beautiful girls!

IMPORTANT: So my birthday is coming up in the month of March and I’m thinking of going on a cruise. Sounds like a good idea right?

Back in the day was amazing. Osh Kosh overalls, Regular Nintendo, Ninja Turtles, bicycles, hi-top fades, and fun all day, are just a few of things from back in the day. Not having to worry about the pressures in life such as bills, work, deadlines, relationships, fitting in, etc. The main focus of the of today’s blog is Regular Nintendo and the techniques used when games did not work. We all have had are own signature techniques. Rather you would blow the dust out of the cartridge and the system, put alcohol on a q-tip and clean the cartridge, wrap the game around your shirt and blow in the cartridge, etc. I would just like to take you down memory lane with a few techniques tonight.

1. Blow dust of the cartridge and the inside of the cartridge (WORLD FAMOUS)
2. The Rapid Assault: Insert the game cartridge, and rapidly press it up and down.
3. Insert the game cartridge and insert another game cartridge on top.
4. Put rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and wipe the inside of the cartridge
5. Insert the game cartridge in the system and wiggle it side to side gently.

Well that concludes my Blog for tonight. Hope enjoyed! If you have any different techniques that you have used, be sure to comment or send me a message.

SOME DAYS I LIKE TO KICK IT ALONE

2009-02-04T22:32:00.000-08:00

So I didn’t go in the internet for a couple days and people say that I am M.I.A. Is it truly my duty to be online everyday and keep you posted on everything that goes on in my mind………Gosh! Well two days have past and I’m online again to bring you all another blog while rockin’ a huge smile on my face, and drinking this Bud Light Lime!

FACT: SOME DAYS MR. BESS LIKES TO KICK BY HIMSELF AND DO THINGS SUCH AS SHOP FOR CLOTHING, EAT A MEAL, WATCH MOVIES, ETC. IT GIVES HIM SPACE FROM EVERYONE, TIME TO THINK, AND HELPS HIS THOUGHTS COME TOGETHER. HE IS SO COMFORTABLE WITH HIMSELF THAT HE IS NOT EMBARRASSED TO KICK IT ALONE.

Everybody knew about the FREE GRAND SLAM BREAKFAST at Denny’s on February 3, 2009 from 6am to 2pm. I made it there around 8am. Stood in line for about 30 minutes, and then received my free breakfast, with a free glass of water! Don’t worry I left a good tip. Can you believe how ungrateful people are? Some people would complain because coffee, orange juice and milk were not free. It was a horrible sight, but I wasn’t going to let that ruin my free meal. So after my breakfast I headed down to Urban Outfitters. Every time I go to that store I always leave with a bag for some reason. So right now I have a thing for cardigan sweaters at the moment, and for some reason they were talking to me that day. Maybe Denny’s put something in the pancakes, because some how the money grew legs and jump out my pockets, ran to the register, and I left the store with a few bags.

AWKWARD SIGHT: ON MY DAY ALONE I SEEN A MAN WITH A BELLY BUTTON PIERCING. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE?!?!?!!?!?

After I went shopping, my stomach of perfection became hungry again, so I went to Paulina’s Mexican grill in Victorville, Ca. If you ever get a chance to stop by there, the food is amazing. Then I had myself the steak and shrimp dinner which hit the spot. To conclude my night I watched Notorious. I thought it was decent movie. 8 Mile still is my favorite hip hop movie based on an artist, but this good. The actor, who played Diddy, was funny. He had his dance moves on point! Biggie Smalls was a playa, so be prepared to see some sex if you have not yet seen the movie!

Well I’m going to cut my blog short tonight! Leave me some comments, make me laugh, do something!

Does Anybody Know What Juicy Fruit Gum Taste Like?!?!?!?!?!

2009-01-31T10:53:00.000-08:00

Welcome once again to another day in my life. Last night I probably had the best sleep I’ve had in a while. I woke up with drool on my pillow! That is extremely rare for me! That never happens to me! I went to AppleBees for dinner last night and had a steak and shrimp dinner. Never order a 7 ounce steak, because it is also known as the world’s smallest steak. It looked like they put a burnt chicken finger on my plate! The food still hit the spot, and provided me with an amazing slumber; I’m still not going back for a while. This morning I’ve been listening to this song all morning by Q-Tip feat. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, & Lil Wayne titled the Renaissance Rap (remix)! It’s FIRE!!! I can’t take it off repeat at all! I just posted it on my MySpace page myspace.com/dbessjr…..>CHECK IT OUT! Enough with all the morning Jibberish, let’s jump into today’s question!

I bought a pack of Juicy Fruit Gum the other day, and as I was chewing it, I thought about what it tastes like. I know it is good, but what kind of flavor is it? I couldn’t think of anything. Does anybody know what Juicy Fruit Gum taste like? Can you describe the flavor? Is it just me? I’ve asked people and they can’t seem to describe it either. It’s a mystery I guess. I asked a question I can’t answer! Can somebody help me out!!!!! Well that concludes today’s Blog…….I’m stumped! Time to prepare myself for a long Day! EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Men Find Women’s Bodies More Attractive in the Colder Months

2009-01-28T22:12:00.000-08:00

Well I skipped a day, but I am now back to bring you all another blog!

EXCITING NEWS: IF 7 MORE FACIAL HAIRS GROW, I’LL OFFICIALLY HAVE A FULL GOATEE…..HAHAHAHAHA!

Now that news may not be exciting to you but it has sure made my day! I’ll stop wasting time so we can hop right into today’s topic.

According to Anthropologist from the University of Wroclaw in Poland, men find women’s bodies more attractive in the colder months. Photos were shown to 114 men all ages. These men were asked to rate photos of women wearing swimsuits, and bare breasts, and female faces every three months. These men gave their highest scores to female’s bodies and breasts in the winter and autumn, and their lowest scores in the summer time. Researches believe the rarity of bare skin on display among women in winter makes them more alluring.

Personally I find women attractive all year round. If you look good, you look good; rather you’re in a bikini or a turtle neck. This study is an accurate study in my opinion. In the summer time women, tend to show more skin, which leaves nothing to the imaginative male mind. Cleavage and legs is at an all time high in the summer time. During the cold months women are all bundled up, and wear more clothes. In the winter time the male mind, begins to wonder what is under all that clothing you have on. It’s a whole different story when you try to apply to study to places where it stays warm all year round. I bet you don’t hear the guys telling their girls to put on a turtle neck, and some sweat pants. I read this article the other day and thought it was kind of interesting, so I decided to share it with everyone who reads my blog.

I would also like to share my laugh of the day with you all since your eyes are already here. DJ 5’2” posted this earlier on MySpace, and I couldn’t stop laughing….ENJOY!!!!!!

Blah Blah Blah....Complainer!

2009-01-26T22:48:00.000-08:00

Well today is obviously Monday as ya’ll know obviously. It’s a new week, and a fresh start for the multitudes of people. I haven’t talked to the viewers since Saturday. Shame on me……right?!?!?!?! I apologize to the viewers and subscribers of my blog for that. So the types of things I have seen since the last time I talked to ya’ll……..hmmmm????

What My Eyes seen over the weekend: Kids pregnant with kids, girls who like to be treated like shit by guys, crack heads, a man do a double back on a snowmobile, watched James Stewart own the white people in motocross, Boobs, watched a 20 piece McNugget meal disappear in front of my eyes, watched customers complain, seen naked Africans on the discovery channel, watched a little boy go head first into a wall at work (hahahahaha), watched Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, watched a few of my text get sent out and no one replied (LoL), and watched a lot of beautiful women pass by, watched obese people take handicap parking spaces, and I won’t bore you all with this anymore.

So what drives a person to complain so much when they don’t get their way? Tonight at work this lady got all super crazy because she bought like a $75 Bluetooth, and wanted it paired right there and then. The majority of Bluetooth’s sold do not come with a charge. This fat drunken lady wanted the customer service rep to open all the Bluetooth’s until she found one with a charge!!! WTF…..Right?!?!?! Then she wanted to talk to manager, and then she started using foul language and yelling. She was all breathing a hard because she was out of breath right. Then she calls customer service to complain and took down all the stores information, and collected business cards. She was trip. Wasted all that breath complaining when she could hit the treadmill with all that wind she had! Sounds mean, but she got on everyone’s nerves. Complain, complain, complain, complain……..get’s you no where, creates an unnecessary scene, and is annoying! We all do it though….lol!

CRAZY FACT: IT was 129 degrees during Andy Roddick Australian Open match today….WOW!

Where are your Parents?!?!/My Bloody Valentine 3D simple Review

2009-01-24T11:04:00.000-08:00

Good Morning World!!!!! Welcome once again to another day of my blog! Typing while still in bed is comfortable and great. If have never tried this you are missing out. I also have to be to work in a little bit, so I’m kind of in a rush once again. It would make more sense if I was to get ready for work then blog rather than doing this the opposite way around……..Oh Well!

So the other day I saw My Bloody Valentine in 3D. I just want to say DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IN 2D! It is your typical Slasher movie. Girl runs out into the open, and somehow trips on tile floor?!?!?! Suspenseful music plays, man walks around corner, no is around the corner, he pauses, turns around, killer is behind him, man dies?!?!?!!?? It doesn’t matter how fast the people run, the killer walks and catches up to everyone?!?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHA?!?!?!?! So I recommend that you see this movie in 3D. The effects were pretty cool. At some points of the movie it feels like you are in the scene. Some blood might fly at you, bullets, eyes, a jaw, and other stuff, which makes the movie worth seeing in 3D. As I said in the beginning DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IN 2D! Other than that….the 3D effects made the movie worth seeing.

I was at the bowling alley a couple days, and all the lanes were full. So I put my name on a waiting list and went to the arcade, since I had a few quarters in my pocket! I was playing Street Fighter, and while playing, I was listening to these kids play truth or dare. Let’s take into to consideration that these kids are in the 3rd grade (I asked). What seem to be a normal game turned into little kids kissing and talking about sex?!?! In my mind I was like WTF! This little boy with glasses said,

“You get a girl naked, and then you take of clothes, and kiss her. Then you take your pecker and put it in her hole, and she’ll make noises!”

I couldn’t even pay attention to Street Fighter anymore. There is always that one kid in the group that no one once to play with. That one kid turned out to be the snitch of the group. I kept on playing my game, and then I see a mother and father come to arcade and begin to regulate. These little kids straight up lied to the parents. They told them that they were playing the video games, and he was mad because he lost, and he didn’t want to wait his turn. Can you believe these idiot parents bought that lie?!?!? After the parents left, the little kids threatened the kid who told. I had four extra quarters in my pocket, and I put them all in the machine, and told the kids the game had free credits, because it was my turn to bowl. The little kids loved it and ran to the machine play! My question is where are these kids parents?!?!?!?!!?

BLOG Quickie!

2009-01-22T17:59:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a great day today. I know I did because I had the whole entire day off. The weather has been acting up today. “Should I rain or shine,” Mother Nature asked me.

“Eff It!”
“I’ll just make it cloudy and cold,” She replied.

So in one of my past blogs I stated that I like to get my haircut every week. Well that’s how I started off my morning. While at the barbershop today, a man tried to sell me a pair of Jordans.

FACT: I HAVE NEVER OWNED A PAIR OF JORDANS IN MY LIFE!

A sin too many people, and just crazy to most! They have never appealed to me or been my thing.

“Imagination Joined with a Common Purpose”

2009-01-21T22:22:00.000-08:00

January 20, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States. Around 8:45a.m. Pacific Time, I watched him take the oath on the same Bible used for the 1861 inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. The significance behind President Obama taking the oath on the same Bible as Abraham Lincoln is that President Lincoln led the U.S. through the Civil War and freed the slaves.

Many people criticized Barack Obama’s speech that was 19 minutes long. For such a historical moment, most critics expected a monumental speech, which people said he did not provide. Personally I feel he delivered a great inaugural address. Even if you do not agree with me, the sight of the whole event was amazing enough. He is the first African American to assume the highest position in our nation. He was sworn in at a U.S. Capitol structure that was primarily built by slaves, and he took the oath on the same Bible Abraham Lincoln did who freed the slaves.
I titled my blog after a quote that stood out most to me in his speech. “Imagination Joined with a Common Purpose.” With imagination and a common, anything can be accomplished. That is something hold true and want to begin applying to my life. His speech was not just address to us as a nation, but to the whole entire world. I would like to share a few parts of his speech that I liked.

“Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.”

“We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.”

“We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.”

“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.”

“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history,”

It’s cool how Obama took it Biblical and used 1 Corinthians 13:11 in his speech. “We must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.” I believe change will come if we all do our part. If you are able to do anything positive to help create change, make it happen!

A Whole Weekend with No Mr. Bess!

2009-01-19T22:55:00.000-08:00

A whole weekend with No Mr. Bess in your life! I’m sorry to deprive all my readers of myself, but I had things to attend to. Well I’m back in your lives today and I’m feeling great today! Martin Luther King Jr. Day was today and tomorrow our President of the United States will officially be Black!!!! Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States of America. I will be up early in the morning for that, and I hope all of you will do the same, as history takes place.
So Friday I went to see the L.A. Lakers play the Orlando Magic at the staples center. The game was so amazing because my Orlando Magic came out victorious. As you already may know, I do not like the Lakers. I can admit that they do have some great players. Officially as of tonight the Orlando Magic have the BEST record in the NBA! HAHAHAhAHHAHAHAHAH (Villain Laugh)!

What else is cool to me at the moment………Ummmmm……..February 7, 2009 I will get to see N.E.R.D. and Kid Cudi in concert at Heat 2009! Alright…..So a few blogs ago I told everyone that I wanted to take this “Wake Up Mr. Bess” motto and do something with it.

Hello….
Hellooooooo……
Heeeelllloooooooooo………
“Cricket…..Cricket!”

Oh yea….I forgot that it is a Thursday night, and a lot of people around my age kick off the weekend today. Well today I had the entire day off! Amazing, Right?!?!?!?!? I was able to take care of my laundry, wash my car, get my haircut, watch two movies, work on this muscular body of mine, and wear sweats & a t-shirt all day long with my Indian slippers. The relaxation has been very good to me today. So with all this I had today, you would think that I would have a super creative and interesting blog…….HaHaHaHaHa! I don’t think that is the case today or is it?

People always ask,
“Hey Darryl, D.J., Mr. Bess…..how do you come up with your blog topics?”
Well folks, the only way accomplish this is…………DOING DRUGS and DRINKING EVERYDAY!
No…..No….No….Please DO NOT DO DRUGS and PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!!!!!!!
Really people and experiences inspire me create these blogs. My mind picks apart these certain situations, twists them, and then molds them. Then these ideas’s leak out on paper, I type them, post them, and then your eyes view it.

WRITERS BLOCK

I hate when this happens now I must end this! I wanted to be so creative that I just got stuck! Tuesday, everyone should tune in for the inauguration of President Obama!!!!

WELCOME TO ANOTHER DAY OF MY BLOG.....I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU

2009-01-14T22:32:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another day of random thoughts. Today I met a Mexican who did not like the Lakers! Personally I’m not a Lakers fan, but a Mexican living in Southern California that does not like the Lakers……that is rare! Actually two days from now I’ll be at the staples center when my Orlando Magic beat the Lakers for the second time this season. So this “Wake up Mr. Bess” thing is taking over my body like a virus, but in a good way. I have decided that I will be sticking with this, and I have been inspired to do big things with it! I’ll keep all everyone updated as plans unfold. First step will be the logo’s which I’ll let the readers decide on.

So I’m listening to this Colin Munroe Mixtape, and I’m really feeling this. He is dope white boy who brings a new vibe over these hip hop beats for real. I really didn’t know what to call today’s blog, but I do have a few questions for ya’ll………………………………..

1. Have you ever had to heat up parts of the home with just the oven?

2. Have you ever had to use Vaseline as your Lip Balm, Lotion, Shoe Polish, and hair grease?

3. Have you ever used a brown paper bag to soak up the grease from foods such as bacon or fried taco shells?

4. Has there ever been a time when you had no soap or body wash, and decided to use shampoo to clean your whole body?

5. How many people became happy when they were introduce to a lint roller, because you were tired of using scotch tape to get lint off your clothing?

Well all those questions relate to me because I have experienced everything in those questions……LoL!!!! Maybe next blog I’ll throw some random questions in there as well. Well now I feel like reading my book, and playing Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Until next time, EVERYBODY SCREAM………………………..WAKE UP MR. BESS!!!!!!!!

Wake Up Mr. BESS

2009-01-12T22:34:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another day of my random thoughts! Well today I had no random thoughts, so I figured I would just talk about myself today. I hate listening to mainstream music while at home or in my car, but today I was just in the mood for it. Come to Find to out I like that Soulja Boy song “Turn on my swag.” People maybe be like why Soulja Boy?!?!?!?!? I like the song! It’s my new alarm clock ringtone! The chorus is my favorite:
Hopped up off tha bed
Turn ma swag on
Took a look in tha mirror said wassup
Yeeeeea im gettin money (ooh)

So people say I’m a pretty nice person. I look like a beast, but most girls are still comfortable with me. Even girls that are in relationships or are trying to fix their relationships tend to be comfortable with me as well…lol!!! Not my fault at all!!! The most gangsta attire that I own now is a pair of Nike dunks, Levi jeans, button up shirt, a tie, and cardigan sweater. Roselyn Shanchez is super Sexy!!!! I like to get my haircut once a week, because I can. Giving has become a major part of life. It is a great achievement to make another persons day. It is sad that other people become jealous when you are making someone else’s day but it happens multiple times. I really like Rosario Dawson to because she is like Nerdy and Sexy! I believe that David Sunflower Seeds are on of the greatest creations known to man kind. I love collard greens with some hot sauce, but beware of my gas afterwards. Original Skittles and the Original Starburst are the best. I never have been one to yell or argue. It’s a waste of breath when it comes to every life. Sunkist Orange Soda is amazing! Cherry Limeade juice is good to! I’m a fan of America’s favorite football team…….The Dallas Cowboys. The Orlando Magic is my favorite basketball team. Anaheim Angels is my favorite baseball team. There are so many sexy women!!!! My Mama has always told I me I will be successful! Mama knows best people say. I definitely accept it! I would like to pursue a career in journalism and become the owner of my own lounge called “The CooL!” Fried chicken, homemade Macaroni cheese, collard greens, jiffy cornbread, yams, and some hot sauce is a great meal. I don’t mind taking your lady out…….Just playing…….maybe I’m not….lol…..really I’m just pulling your leg. That would be terrible. I hope to get buff by only using the perfect push up. I like board games like scrabble, taboo, scattergories, boulder dash, and other games of that nature. I don’t I’m that different from everyone. We all put are pants on one leg at a time right? Sports Center, Family Guy, MTV jams, America’s next best dance crew, how it’s made, Chappelle show, TVone, Food network, travel channel, G4 tv, are just a few channels and shows that I like to watch. Why is BET not on your list Mr. Bess? BET fell off for real! I think I’m done hurting your eyes with this nonsense today!!! I’m just typing jibberish now! Have a wonderful Night!!!

Good things come to people who wait!
I promise I’ll have a cool topic for ya’ll tomorrow.

So serious, So comfortable, she says I’m silly at times, she says I’m wonderful, Mr. Bess, Yes….She’s chilling with me because I’m comfortable, doing my own thing I’m comfortable man!!!

Store Chains in Danger of Closing

2009-01-11T20:35:00.000-08:00

Wake Up Mr. Bess?!?!?!?!?

I wish I could have today, but today had to be one of the slowest days at work in a while. Gas prices are beginning to rise again, people are not going out as much, people are trying to hold on to their money, and many stores are in jeopardy of closing. Many major chains have already begin to make cut backs by shutting down low performing stores, and laying off many workers due the fact that the economy is on a decline right now. Snopes.com has gathering information from various news accounts on chains that are planning, or have made the following cut backs:

-The Circuit City Chain of retail electronic stores filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2008 and is closing 155 stores across the U.S.

-The Dillards department store chain announced the closure of 21 outlets in 2008, and said it expects more store closure in 2009

-The Foot Locker chain of shoe stores chain closed 274 outlets in 2007 and another 60 in 2008, with more such closures likely.

-The Macy’s Chain of department stores (which includes Bloomingdale’s) closed 11 outlets in 2008.

-Sprint announced in January 2008 that it would be closing 125 out of its 1,400 retail outlets.

That wasn’t even the whole list of chains provided in the article. I just chose 5 out of 28 of them, just to give you an idea of how things are looking right now. I know it will take some time but I hope that change will come soon!

The Phone Works Both Ways!!!

2009-01-09T11:00:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another day in the life and times of Mr. Bess. Hope everyone is having a great day so far, and if your day hasn’t started……Hope you day turns out great when your day begins. I have to be to work in a couple hours, but I’m still down to give ya’ll a little blog!

So the other day I ran into someone at a particular location and they said,

“Long time no see.”
“How have you been?”
“Why don’t you ever call or text me anymore?”

The first two questions are fine, but the last question……the last question was ridiculous in this situation. Now I do try my best call and text people just to say hi, and to see how they are doing. This day I was like WTF!!!! I try to contact you all the time and you just never reply. Why must I contact you all the time just to see how you are doing. Why don’t you try contacting me to see how I am doing…..Naw’sayin!!! The phone works both ways!!!

Now I must attempt to get dressed super fast like super man, so I’m not late for work……Ahhhh!!!!

McNugget Love

2009-01-08T20:35:00.000-08:00

So I spent like 4 hours today in Barnes and picked up 2 books. For one more day and The five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom. He is a great author. Tuesdays with Morrie is another great book by him that I have read. If you have a chance, you should check out his books. So there are some pretty funny commercials out there and this is one of my favorites commercial. McNugget Love is the title of the song. It is comedy to me! One line say’s “Oh girl I know your secret (You Dipin on me?)!” And my other favorite line is, “You got a 10 piece girl don’t be stingy.” After watching this I really wanted some chicken nuggets though!

Guilty Pleasure

2009-01-07T00:42:00.001-08:00

What’s up World!!! Welcome to another day of the Wake up Mr. Bess Blog. I just got back from L.A. a few hours ago, and I would like to say that I love the city! You’ll never see the same thing every day. As I walk the streets, new doors open up in my mind all the time as I think about random things. Give me a bus pass, studio apartment, a bed, and pair shoes, and I’ll be good in the city! So I ate some chicken wings today, and I’m still thinking about those wings. I devoured those wings once they were put in front of me….LoL! “Don’t be fake Nigga, get the chicken!” Hahahaha….All my Chappelle show fans should know about that line from the pixie skit…..hahaaha!

Guilty Pleasure…..Hmmmmmmm! Where is Mr. Bess taking this one?!?!?!?!?! Straight to the bedroom with this one baby! So I’m not saying this has ever happened to me, but have you ever messed around with a human being (Someone of the opposite sex) one night, then the next day you see them with their significant other? Maybe you’re the person walking with your significant other and you see that person you just spent the night with. What goes through your mind other than, “Oh $%!*!” Everyone knows it is wrong deep down inside, but the heat of the moment seems to have caught up! Is one person not enough? Is love not in the picture? Is there a devil and angel battling on the shoulders? Is the combination of Lust and Temptation that powerful? Maybe the adrenaline rush and feeling is greater when you know it’s wrong. I just think the masses love to do it, that’s why the divorce rate in America is really high. If that is the case we should all look into Polygamy so we all can have many significant others…..HAHAHA!!! Something I would never consider but you might!

I don’t even know if I got anywhere with today’s Blog!!! I really believe no progress was made today!!!! Well keep clicking and adding to the views!!! Become one of my many Followers and Subscribe!!!! Till next time……EAT CHICKEN!!!!

Mass Christmas Text Messages

2008-12-24T19:57:00.000-08:00

Well Today’s Blog shall be pretty short and simple. No creativity was needed for tonight’s blog. Many of the people who have cell phones in this world have started the mass text of Christmas messages! If you are going to text me please personalize mine. Let me know that the message is for me by adding my name or something!

Well I believe a contradiction is about to take place because I am about to wish everyone a Merry Christmas without mentioning no names………………….Hmmmmmm!

Merry Christmas to ALL and have a Joyous Day!!!!!

HOW BIG IS YOUR WORLD?

2008-12-23T23:31:00.000-08:00

Someone said, “Wake up Mr. Bess!”

They didn’t say it loud enough, because I kept on dreaming. During my dream I was asked how big my world is. Well that one question leads right into today’s blog.

HOW BIG IS YOUR WORLD IS YOUR WORLD?

Your world is as big as you picture it. The world through my thoughts and eyes is colossal! There is so much out there. I have dreams and aspirations so big, that I have no doubts in my mind about becoming successful. I have developed this “go, go, get it mentality,” so when I do make it, there will be no stopping me. Here is a cool recipe from a hip hop group out of California called Inverse:
3 Parts Hunger
2 Parts Passion
1 Step closer from making it happen

Anyone who is about becoming successful, and doing great things with that success is more then welcome to enter my world. Everyday my world is growing. One question for you………How big is your world?

The Holiday Season

2008-12-21T23:44:00.000-08:00

Hello……..
Hello…………..
Hellooooo………..

Well…..I guess I’m the only one in my lonely mind but I would like to welcome ya’ll to another day of the wake up Mr. Bess Blog. The Holiday season is definitely here in full effect. Have you seen it, heard it, or smelled it? Corny Christmas songs play through ugly moving stuff animals. Santa Clauses skinny & fat are all around to put smiles on people’s faces and collect donations. Christmas lights and blow entities catch are eyes as we drive by on the icy roads of the night. I have noticed one major thing this year that is unlike most years. The stores are a lot emptier this year. The economy went sour, thousands of people have been laid off work, and a lot of people are trying hard to hold on to their money. It is sad that Christmas has became so commercialized, that people stress out over buying gifts, fight over gifts, and even steal gifts.

Tonight I did want to post a Blog about things I would like for Christmas, but after being out tonight, and watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special, I had a change in heart. Personally I love the gift of giving. If I want something that bad I’ll go out and get it myself. I have no reason to be mad if I don’t receive anything. I’ve been blessed this year most definitely, and I am thankful for that.

No mater what religion you are, Christmas is a time to reflect on the people who made you what you are, loved you, cared for you, and stuck by your side. Spend time with the people you love. I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. Be thankful for what you have and do not let greed overcome you!

Super Snow DAY

2008-12-21T23:40:00.000-08:00

If you live in the High Desert, today you were officially stuck in the High desert! It is still snowing as I type this blog. It hasn’t snowed like this in years. What a crazy/beautiful day it has been. I would personally like to thank the snow for helping me and my co-workers get out of work early today. I truly appreciate that kind gesture.

The Crazy things I seen while at work today:
1.) A couple wearing jackets, jeans, and Sandals?!?!?!?!?
2.) Parents carrying uncovered babies in this cold weather
3.) People wearing shorts and t-shirts

I can’t even lie….I played in the snow today and even made a snowman (as seen in my myspace pictures). If you do feel the urge to drive, please be careful. There are some people out there that are still wanting try some stupid things on the road in these conditions. Other than that, go enjoy some snow and keep Warm!!!!!

Las Vegas Trip

2008-12-21T23:38:00.001-08:00

What’s up internet World. I’m finally back from my mini vacation in Las Vegas! Did ya’ll miss me? I just wanted to let everyone know that I am eating Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup with some Apple Juice on the side. It’s making me dance, but it is warm and I enjoy right now.
Rather you go to Las Vegas to gamble, site see, relax, party, eat, shop, or even watch a show, you will have fun! I guarantee it (that statement is wakeupmrbess approved)! I loved my whole entire stay this weekend. Despite the fact I don’t gamble, U still ate well, drank well, slept well, and partied well. Friday evening we made it to Las Vegas and we stayed at Circus Circus. People ask why we stayed there the first night…..The price was right…….LoL! You do get what you pay for. Only one elevator worked that went to are floor level. The ice machine on are floor was broken. The room was great for drinking alcohol, and the beds were comfortable. We went to Margaritaville and had a couple of drinks. The bartender made this like strawberry shortcake drink. That drink was delicious!!!! The rest of the Pre-gaming started in the room that night. The vodka drinks had me feeling pretty good. Tao was the club of the night for us. The spot was crackin’! I must say, I was accompanied by an amazing girl that night……..OMG…….She was Sexy! A lot of that night turned into a blur for most of the group that night. I know I woke up with a fatty headache the next morning, and I could taste vodka. After waking up, we packed up, checked out, made a McDonalds stop, and then went to Bally’s Hotel. Don’t be fooled by the somewhat old appearance of the hotel, because they actually have some really nice rooms. After that crazy night at Tao We required a little more sleep. After the small slumber it was time to eat. I had a nice steak and shrimp meal at the small café we ate at. The funny thing about that café was that all the servers seemed like they were lost in their own worlds. After we ate, we relaxed for a little bit then, began pre-gaming for the next club. That night I became a fan of Gin. Gin & Tonics are great but Tom Collins is a really great drink. It’s one of my nee favorites right now. We all got dressed up and ended up going to Body English. Once again I was accompanied by a super sexy girl that night! Body English is another crackin’ spot as well. I don’t know who the random people are that ended up on my camera that night, but it was a good night!

We all woke up starving the next day. We all went to the Carnival World Buffet at the Rio. Food hit the spot just right, and the Raspberry ice tea was super refreshing. I never had crab legs that were cooked and then put on ice before, but I chomped them crab legs up with some lemon and melted butter! After we left the Rio, went to the Paris Hotel and picked up the $15.00 margaritas. They are some very good margaritas I must say. The pre-gaming started early since it was the last night of partying. We first went to a small Irish pub/casino called O’Sheas which had beer pong tables there. My teammate and I lost all the games we played, but I left drunk. After O’sheas we went to a club called poetry. If you want to party with hella black people, this is the spot to be at. I really don’t remember my last night to well. I woke up this morning with my feet toward the headboard. I woke up just a little drunk but after I took a shower I felt great again. The drive home was kind of cool. It was my first time coming back from Las Vegas with multiple weather changes. We drove through rain, sleet, hail, and snow. The snow was actually sticking to which made a nice picture. Speaking of pictures…..I brought my camera and everyone else ended up on the camera way more times than me.

Well sorry if today’s blog was not interesting, but I had a super fun time in Vegas. I will have some great blogs for you all very soon since I’m on break right now.
Till next time……Wake Up MR. BESS!!!!!!

Internet Bully’s

2008-12-21T23:27:00.000-08:00

So I’m on day 2 of my drinking strike and high desert club/bar ban. I think tonight is like $1 or $2 drink night at a few places for you bargain drinkers out there. So today I went to school and basically listened to my IPod the whole day without skipping tracks which is rare for me. My IPod consist of artist such as: Atmosphere, Black Milk, Blu & Exile, Braille, QN5, Common Market, CRAC, Danger Mouse & Jemini, Danny!, Elzhi, EMC, Giant Panda, Gio, The Grouch, Inverse, Lauryn Hill, Lightheaded, Living Legends, Modil, Median, Mr. J. Medeiros, N.E.R.D., Nicolay & Kay, Panacea, The Procussions, Q-Tip, Rashid Hadee, The Roots, Sivion, Skillz, The Strange Fruit Project, Surreal, Tabi Bonney, Tanya Morgan, Theory Hazit, Etc.

You should check out a few of these artists sometime. You may actually enjoy them!

Sorry to bore you with that introduction, so let’s dive into the topic of internet bully’s. People say I have a lot of time on my hands to write all these blogs, which I really don’t. I just make time, because it is fun to me. On the other hand, internet bully’s have all the time in the world and no life. Internet bullies are just as whack as gangsters and world terrorist. Internet bullies are random people who threaten you through messages, comments, and sometimes even instant messaging. Crazy I know?!?!?!?!? For example:

XoXoBloodgangstaXoXo: if you ever write a square ass comment like that again, I’m finna smack the shit outta ya!

NoHoMo3537: I punk kats for fun, and your song sucks dick! Crips ^^^^^

YUnGthiLLER87: Why you got the color red on your myspace page. Nigga if I see you in the streets, you gon’ get banged on Cuz!

IxamxAxMARTIAN: How you dance’n with that girl in the video. Man I’ll &*$@ your Girl and make her swallow my kids!

My readers, do you see what I mean now?!?!?! Ridiculous is on a whole new level. I guess it is the era where virtual punking and bang’n is the latest craze. The internet is one crazy place where somebody can be anybody!

Awkward Moments

2008-12-21T23:19:00.000-08:00

Well I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! Collard Greens, green beans, homemade macaroni & cheese, turkey, ham, roast beef, yam, etc. Dang………..I’m getting hungry again, so I’m not even going to mention desserts! So right now, I’m going through a little something that has me mentally and emotionally down. I just hope that things get right very soon. Despite that I’m still down to give my readers some random blogs! I bet all ya’ll nosey people want to know what this little something is about?!?!?!?! It could turn out to be great material for my next blog, but who knows if you’ll ever read it!

Well enough about my personal problems, I’ll let you wear those shoes another day, so let’s talk about some AWKWAED MOMENTS! We all have been in some awkward situation; rather you are by yourself or in a group of friends. I think I go through about 3 a week…..actually I think I’m lying. More like 5 a day it seems like. Let me just give you a few incidents and maybe you can relate to them.

1.) While riding in the car you look at the window to see who is in the car next to. As you turn your head, they are already staring at you.
2.) Receiving that one hug or handshake from a customer or random person that last entirely way to long.
3.) When you’re a man standing in line and another man needs to get through the line and his front end grazes your back end.
4.) Having to walk down those long hallways at malls to get to the restroom and another person is walking from the other end. No one makes eye contact till you both pass each other and look back.
5.) Sitting in a car silent car with someone other family and you run out of things to talk about, “Sooooo……”
6.) Standing in an elevator with a random person and they look at you through the reflection.
7.) Tapping on someone’s shoulder to say what’s up to them but come to find out it’s not your friend.
8.) Being at the urinal next to the man who let’s out the huge sigh of relief while going pee.
9.) Opening up the bathroom stall door when you think no one is in there.

Nine awkward moments is good enough. I really don’t want to bore you to death, and I have homework that needs to get started. Yes homework on a Saturday! Well it’s time to cook some breakfast, iron my clothes for work, pick up my co-worker on the way, and head to work, come home to some homework!!!! What a day! Exciting Right! Till next time……………….

Concert on Wheels

2008-12-21T23:13:00.000-08:00

1 final essay down, 3 more to go, and 2 in class finals. Yup it’s crunch time right now ladies and gentlemen, plus I work a full time job, and still find the time to provide you with a lame blog! Whack or not, you still get your blog. Dedication maybe or just the gift of giving since it is the holiday season. Speaking of holiday season, I think I may have to blog about the items I like and hope they hand in my hand or door step, come Christmas time. Let’s jump right into today’s topic so I can get back to my school work.

My Car….I’m riding in my Car! Rather you like to pick your nose in car, release those farts you’ve been holding all day, sleep, change clothes, we all sing and rap in the automobile! Yea some of us sing in the shower, but the real concert begins in the concert. Rather you rock out, sing, rap, & even dance; we go all out in car when alone. The audience may stare and laugh, but who cares, they are not having fun in their car. Long drives, short drives to work, school, grocery store, I have a good time. When the music is on everything gets right for some reason. Sometimes I even feel I make the song sound better. Does anyone else feel that way? Group concerts are pretty fun to. When everyone has there own parts and then come together in attempt to harmonize….LoL! And for the people that don’t have stereo’s in their car invest in a portable radio, play the music on your cell phone, or better yet……Work on your beat box’n skills. Concert on wheels are pretty amazing though! If you never experienced it, I suggest you hop in your car and put your favorite song on, crank it up, and party. You will enjoy yourself!

Well that concludes this evening BLOG! Have a wonderful night! If you haven’t subscribed yet….you are hurting yourself! Do yourself a favor and Subscribe! It’s FREE!

A Crazy day in my Life!!!!

2008-12-21T23:11:00.000-08:00

Some people say the good life is when you have money, cars, chains, a nice house, a beautiful women, and sex everyday. The other day that dream was stolen out of my mind. My Ex-Girlfriend called me and told me I had a son on the way. No reason for us to go on the Maury show, because I was her first and only one. I've never been so damned stressed in my life. How am I going to feed another mouth, when I'm barely eating everyday? Collections is taking everything, because my bills aren't paid. The only thing they let me keep is this pad that I scribble on when times are good, bad, and ugly. Right now, is probably one of the ugliest times of my life. My Car has not worked in weeks, and now my only rides are these limited edition Nikes that I wear on my feet. All I could do at the moment was lean against the wall, while staring at a blank white wall. All of a sudden I felt a tug on my pants. I looked down and seen an image of my child and he said,

"Why do we have to live like this?"
"I didn't have choice."
"I was just created and brought into this."

I ran to the sink, as my heart was racing out of my chest. I began splashing water on my face, and rubbing my eyes. I opened my eyes and turned around to see that no one was there. That's when I sighed in relief, and began walking toward the front. As I took my first step, I tripped over my feet. As I fell, I hit my head on the ground pretty hard on the carpet. When I hit the carpet, I woke up out of this crazy dream I had, and thanked God, that it was not reality!

Sometimes I scare myself When I Write!!!!!!
***Some probably thought it was true***

What are the Qualifications to be black & to use to the Word Nigga?

2008-12-21T23:05:00.000-08:00

Hello Children, teens, young adults, adults, and wrinkled ones! Welcome to another day in my cerebellum. My creative juices have not been flowing lately because I’ve been hearing and seeing the same ol’ stuff. All my ideas have been coming to me while I’m in the shower. Why? I don’t know. Maybe it is the way the water hits my body or there may be something in the steam that enters my pores and activates my creativity. Today I did something pretty good as I always do. I cleaned out my closet as I do every couple times a year, and get rid of items I do not need. Those clothes I will donate to Salvation Army, and give them to families in need at the church with growing children. Applause for me…….Clap…….Clap…….Clap!!!

So let us get on the topic now. I rarely use the word NIGGA but the other day I said, “This NIGGA!” Shortly after I made the statement someone said, “DJ you’re not Black!” So I thought, maybe the pigmentation of my skin instantly turned white, or the person was colored blind. Maybe I’m not qualified due to the fact I tend to annunciate my words, my clothes are fitted, I stay calm, have a mother and father that stayed together, and I’ll end it there.

A Small part of a Qualification list:
*Wear clothes twice your size *Wear Creased Dickie Pants
*Eat Fried Chicken *Eat Watermelon
*Speak in slang throughout a whole conversation
*Wear Silver/Gold Jewelry with a plus size charm
*Wear Air Force One’s *Drink Kool-Aid
*Wear Sunglasses at night *Only watch BET & TVONE
*Wear pants twice your *Talk Loudly
* Put a System and Rims on all your cars

Out of that little list, 3.5 things apply to me. 3.5 out of 12 and I have very dark skin. Not even at 50%. So does that not allow me the opportunity to use the word NIGGA ? Who is the judge of that? DO I need my official hood pass, to at least use the word once a month? Fat Joe and DJ Khaled use it all the time and they are 0% African American. Surprising I know?!?!?!? My mother is black and my father is black. They created me and I came out black. Therefore I am black. I just carry myself differently. Names such as square, corny, oreo, white washed mean nada damn thing in my dictionary. I’m on my way to becoming a household name in a positive way!!!!

THEME MUSIC

2008-12-21T23:01:00.000-08:00

November 18, 2008 was the last time I posted a blog…….SLACKER!!!!! I’ve been very busy lately and my mind has been elsewhere. I’m slowly getting back into the blog mode though. Since I have started my blog I have 1,599 views. Cool, but at the same time not cool! I want millions and comments! Thanksgiving is near, and we all have things to be thankful for such as family, job security, health, friends, and the food we shall chomp up on Thursday!!!!!

Today’s topic is theme music. My question to you is, if you could have one song to play everyday when you wake up, ride in your car, and walk in buildings, what song would it be? My song would be………… (Wait for it)…………..Touch the Sky by Kanye West feat. Lupe Fiasco. Not only are they two of my favorite artist, but it is perfect. Waking up to the Horns, claps, bongo’s, drums, and letting me know I’m on top of the world! What a great feeling that is! Then when I walk in buildings the chorus comes on, “I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly!” There is no better introduction than that! “I’d do anything to say I got, damn them new loafers hurt my pocket!” Great verse, because there have been times when I know I didn’t have the money and I still bought myself some kicks…lol! That is definitely my choice for my theme song, and a song that I will never get tired of!

Leave a comment by letting me know what your song would be!

No Speak-Ey Eng-Lay

2008-12-21T22:56:00.000-08:00

After a long day at work, it turned out to be a pretty good night. I had Cornbread, Collard greens, white rice, pork roast, and a Sunkist Orange Soda. A complete meal to knockout a champion like myself! I know you may have read my title and said, “What the heck is this black guy talking about?!?!?!” Creative title I know! When I write I see the world in a different way at times. My question is…How come as Americans, must we speak louder, pronunciate our words to the fullest, and slow our dialogue down when speaking to foreigners?

Talking like that makes it seem like they are little children. Of course if one of them asked for directions you wouldn’t to say, “First bust a lefty at the cornerizzle, then you gonna see a red stop sign right thurr…….Naw’Sayin….so you gon’ want to pump them brakes son!” LoL! Most of us would be confused we heard some directions like that. I saw a family with an exchange student the other day at Starbucks. All the family members were speaking in a normal tone to each other, and then as soon as they turned to ask the Asian exchange student a question, the volume turned up like 15 notches. Really is it that necessary to turn up the volume when asking her what drink she wanted?!?!? I know I’m notorious for it sometimes when I try to help the Spanish speaking customers pay a bill. “Do YOU WANT TO PAY BILL?” I don’t mean for it to come out that way but sometimes it just happens. Chris Tucker even does it in Rush Hour, “DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?” Jackie Chan even reversed the role on him by saying the same thing. It’s funny how the people of the world operate and it is even funnier when you notice the little things!

It was just something I noticed that I wanted to share with ya’ll!!!!!!

Backpacks on Wheels

2008-12-21T22:52:00.000-08:00

Yes, I know that I missed a day on my Blog diet yesterday; I was informed by some random civilian from New York that left a message in my inbox. I didn’t know people read my blogs. I thought they were no good….lol! My hair hasn’t been cut in like 3 weeks now, so may not even notice me with the excessive facial hair and nappy roots! I was so undercover agent status today I noticed all the rolling backpacks while at school today.

So today I was at school, listening to my IPod, while studying in the science building. I seen about fifteen people walk through the building with these backpacks on wheels. One person didn’t even have a backpack. It was a plastic basket zip tied to metal poles with wheels. Have we all become so weak that books are now over whelm us? I know I’m not the only one but has anyone else ever wanted to run up on someone with a rolling backpack, and kick it like you were kicking a field goal? Backpacks on wheels make more noise and disturb more people than crying babies at grocery stores. The comparison is a little extreme I know, but you get where I am going with it I hope. It’s funny when you see two people with rolling backpacks talking to each other, because they have to yell over the sound of their backpacks.
I can’t wait for the day these backpacks become motorized and the people begin to ride them to class….lol!

Victor Valley College Fight

2008-12-21T22:49:00.000-08:00

Is college supposed to be a place of learning or a battle ground? If you chose place of learning you are correct, but today it served as a battle ground. Now this fight consisted of loud yelling, 5 guys, 2 girls, 2 cops, pepper spray, the word nigga, and the word blood…….Can you guess the race. Well if you chose African American……ding!….ding!…..ding! You are 100% correct!

After my first class today I went to the library to study for a test for my following class. As I was walking outside to go to class, I turned to my right because I hear all this yelling and commotion, “Nigga, Nigga, what nigga…..Blood, Blood, what Blood….Bitch,” and so on. There were five black guys. 3 on one side, and 2 on the other side facing each other. Also included were 2 black girls that were off to the side. The fight started off 1 on 1, and then it turned into a 6 person brawl. A few people got hit pretty hard. Unfortunately one of the girls got caught with a clean punch by another guy. As the cops pulled up, one of the fighters ran behind the police car and said, “Fight is over!” Then you hear the other guys say, “Bitch ass nigga,” and they all continued to fight while the cops were there. The cops ended up pulling out the pepper spray and began spraying people.

FUNNY PART: One of the guys had dreadlocks and was sprayed directly in the face. After he got sprayed in the face it looked like he was getting hyphy and started shake’n dem dreads. Afterwards he sprinted away.

More people began to get sprayed so I left the area. None of the people got arrested which was kind of crazy. All the cops did was say stop, and sprayed pepper spray. Anyways……that was the best part of my day!

Mr. Bess has banned himself from High Desert Bars and Clubs and shall be on a Drinking Strike till December 12, 2008

2008-12-21T22:43:00.000-08:00

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!

We have just recently left the press conference, where Mr. Bess has informed the public on his ground breaking decision. This is what Mr. Bess had to say to the press.

Mr. Bess:
I have stepped backed and took a look at my life. In order for me to excel, some changes are definitely going to have to take place. So I have decided to ban myself from all High Desert clubs and bars. People may say, “Mr. Bess why would you do something like this?” I’m not here to put people down or anything because I know there are people that feel the same way and want to make push toward particular goals as well. Honestly the way I feel when I go out at times, I feel as if I am at one big high school reunion with all the high schools and the people that decided to do nothing with their lives. Their cover up is acting like they are the shit. I can go to these places on weekly bases and see the same people, in the same spot, doing the same thing every time. I feel as if I’m being sucked into that environment when I’m near it. In an environment like that I feel like my life has progressed 0%. Kind of a harsh way to put it but that is the only way I could say it. On the lighter side of things, I personally would like to take a vacation from drinking. Some feel as if it is an essential to life, and I feel as if there is nothing wrong with a little break. I would like a little bit of time to increase the definition on this warrior like body of mine. December 12, 2008 is when I’ll be going to Las Vegas until December 15, 2008. No need to shed a tear or anything of that nature. People will still be able to see me out and about. You’ll be able to catch a movie with me, have dinner, amusement parks, kickback, concerts, sporting events, and you could even call me if you are to drunk to drive home. I have the potential to do so much more with my life and I would like to tap into that potential and see what happens. Questions….Feel free to text me, call me, e-mail me, AIM.
I’ll still be posted NEW Blogs so feel free to check out

Vacationing Is My Career

2008-12-21T22:37:00.000-08:00

So I just got back from a week vacation. No work, No school, No stress, relaxation, and my mind at ease. Now I’m back to interrogating my brain with my Sunkist Orange soda, and snickers in hand so I can deliver these blogs to you! I owe the World some new material, so that is what I am here to provide. Good service like an Asian massage parlor! That line has nothing to do with this blog………..Welcome back to my World of Random Thoughts.

So when you have a 7 hour drive, time to relax, think, and just look out of a car window, so much comes to your mind. So I was thinking if I could make vacationing my career and get paid for relaxing, that would be great. Amazing, wouldn’t you say? All expenses paid, and all you would have to pay for is your meal. The only work you would be required to do, would be to write reviews on hotels and vacation destinations. If anyone knows where I can apply, please let me know. I’ll even put in extra work by taking pictures….LoL! Vacationing would be a great career, until you want to settle down and have a family. Next best career to vacationing would be……..Stay at home Father! If the wife gave me the offer not to work and just take care of the home, kids, and her…….it’s done! I have no shame……HAHA! That will be the topic for another blog.

*REAL TALK>>>>I WOULDN’T FeeL Right not Working and bringing in some kind of INCOMe!*

Halloween

2008-12-21T22:31:00.000-08:00

The only reason I like Halloween, is because it is the one day of the year that women get to dress like sluts (excuses my language) and wear their bedroom outfits/role play costumes. The Eye candy will most definitely be in full effect!My blog is concluded. That's all I wanted to say……LoL! Disappointing….and this is I know….LoL! I feel I have some gut busters on the way! Everyone be safe!!!

SUPER MARIO

2008-12-21T22:23:00.000-08:00

So one day I was playing super Mario 3 and a random thought came to my mind from the clouds up high. Mario and Luigi are drug addicts, favorite drug being shrooms. Yea, their day job is fixing pipes as plumbers, but when the work day ends they start shroom'n. We all have added to their high by collecting the 1ups and Bigmans, keeping them in their world of imaginary creatures in a cartoon worlds. We Should ALL be Ashamed….LoL!!!!

Swagger has Stole Hip Hop

2008-12-21T22:02:00.000-08:00

My Ears have been open, a warrant was issued, and I think I have finally cracked the case on who has stolen Hip Hop. A little fellow by the name of swagger has been convicted of this horrible crime. Swagger is the presentation of one’s self. Swagger took over hip hop when he broke into every recording studio, and hopped on every track. Now everyone cares about swagger, and very few people care about substance. There are a handful of great mainstream emcees and two pockets full of great underground emcees. I can admit….Mainstream hip hop makes a party crack, but don’t you get tired of the same concepts with a different beat. I know that I do! Every now and then I’ll hear a dope song that catches my attention if I listen to the radio. I’m just saying swagger needs to be locked up for a while now, and released later on down the road, and come back with a BANG like the Vocoder…….LOL!!!!!!!!

LIFE is like a Ferris Wheel

2008-12-21T21:53:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another day in my laboratory. I’m still on this blog a day diet, and I feel great. If you haven’t found out yet, I was born with two right brains. The right side of the brain is the realm of creativity. Some new to look for this week is my new poetry page I’ll be putting up. Also I can wait to start my video vlog series as well. I’m going to Pinky and The Brain the internet and take over the world! I like taking concepts that are simple and plain and making them fly for you. Today we will talk about how life is like a Ferris wheel.

So earlier today I was talking to life when I had a break from class. Life is a crazy character and a worthy opponent. Life made me think about a lot of things. To me life is Ferris wheel, and I’ve been stuck on this ride for way to long. Round, and round it goes, and I’ve most definitely had my highs and lows. I don’t know who else has been on this Ferris wheel, but this ride sucks. Round and round, my Wednesdays through Saturday s are the same. I love the people I hang out with; I just get tired of seeing the lames do the same thing. I’ve been a visitor of their club houses so much now; they have asked me to join. I had to decline their offer, because I found out what I wanted to do with my life. I’m finally getting off this Ferris wheel though. I’m working on buying a space shuttle now, because you shall see me amongst the stars, and I want all ya’ll to be apart of my constellation.

I hope you got this concept today! It was pretty simple I feel!
GET IT, GOT IT, GOOD!!!!!

Good is the Enemy to GREAT!!!

2008-12-21T21:41:00.000-08:00

The battle between the positives has baffled my mind for many moons. Many people get caught in the web of Good and just give up. Why not be the one to break free and go on to do great things. Who would buy Frosted Flakes is Tony the Tiger told you, "They're GOOOD!" We all have good intensions, but we hold ourselves to greater expectations. When you become Great you become

Grand

Renowned

Excellent

Admirable

Transcendent

Good will always try to find a way to keep you in your comfort zone but like captain planets planeteers, you combine Grand, Renowned, Excellent, Admirable, and Transcendent, you become Great and Save the day!

The Drug Known As: Drnk Txting

2008-12-21T21:36:00.000-08:00

Yes, I have been a victim and supplier of the drug known as drunk texting. A world wide phenomenon that has swept the nation and now is taking over the world. The drug becomes full blown when you begin to make drunk phone calls. There have been incidences, where people have overdosed, skipped the texting stage, never make a phone call, and just show up at the persons dwelling place. What triggers the mind to call someone at 3:00 a.m. to have a random conversation you probably may not remember? Rather you become a modern day Shakespeare within your text, sound as dumb as Homer Simpson while making a phone call, or even become a phone sex operator because you were so horny; it just seems crazy how alcohol and a cell phone can takeover and make you do the unexpected.

Personally when I have a drink, the alcohol makes my fingers magnetized, and the phone becomes attached to my fingers, and will not leave till I fall asleep. I don't know if that happens to anyone else, but that is what happens to me. A lot of people say the truth comes out when you become drunk, but I feel the stupidity comes out of us. I know most of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about, like a 4 year old trying to explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity. So….after that horrible simile I feel I should stop now!

Caution: Drunk Texting/Calling is just as addicting as cocaine! Take at your own Risk.
Cure: Don't Drink to become Drunken, Drink Responsibly

(I'm Working on it!)

Words don’t kill, It’s the person behind the words that does the Killing

2008-12-21T21:27:00.000-08:00

So recently I just started my Blog a day diet. It helps keep my weight up, my mind sane, and helps me smile through the stresses of reality.

Today’s Topic is: Words Don’t Kill, It’s The Person Behind The Words That Does The Killing.

Today I would like to be Called Philosopher Bess!

A word is a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds of their written representation that functions as a principal carrier of meaning.

I have unlocked my talent with words, but I’m still experimenting, hoping one day I’ll be able to master them. Being that I am in my experimenting stage….I have created a few Frankenstein’s. Having a way with words is great, but when negative outcomes occur, best believe these Frankenstein’s have hearts. At times it has been hard to keep one’s word. Lately I’ve been using these words as bullets and shooting people down. I’ve never been shot with a bullet, but recovery can take a while if the shot caused major damage. Be as good as one’s word, is somewhat a challenge, but I know I am better then my own words. Lately I haven’t been able to weigh my own words meaning I haven’t been choosing my words carefully. Words by themselves are powerful, but the person delivering the power behind the word is far more powerful. In my Laboratory which I call my mind, I’m working on formulas to where my words only cause good vibrations and the effect is positive. Once the serum is complete, not only will it enhance who I am, it will affect around me in a positive way, create new beginnings, and add to the great things to come. These Frankenstein’s have portrayed me as a monster at, but deep down I do have a heart. I thought being the shooter would be fun until I became trigger happy.

Being the Token Black Guy = Black girl with the Super Weave Grabbing You!

2008-12-21T21:21:00.000-08:00

I can truly say that I have a diverse group of friends, and sometimes when we all go out, I end up being the token black guy of the group. It doesn't bother me at all, and I don't mind. I enjoy going out to the bars/lounges/clubs and having a good time. Sometimes I like to have a couple of drinks and just kick back. How come being the token black guy of the group results with the random black girl with the super weave grabbing me?!?!?!? Are there arrows pointing at me, signs around me, or what? Is it rude that I deny them? Shoot them down as if they were my target practice. Maybe I should be thankful that someone with a super weave wants to dance with me. Maybe it is my obligation as the token black guy at times. If I wore baggy clothes would the outcome be different? It could be time for the Mr. Bess experiment!

Drunk White Guy + The Next Episode (Dr. Dre song) = Caucasian Crip Walk

2008-12-21T21:10:00.000-08:00

Jump to the left, jump to the right, shuffle, shuffle, heel toe, twist, throw your hands in the air, dust off your shoes, throw up a west side, and top it off with a Ric Flair, "WOOOOOOO!" This is an equation that never seems to fail. Next time you are at a party or club and The Next Episode comes on, step back and get ready to play I Spy, shake your head in disappointment, then go back to what you were doing!

****Sorry the Blog was super short tonight, but these collard greens, rice, and pork chops hit the spot. I'll definitely make it up next time for all my readers!***

TAP OUT (please go 6 feet UNder!)

2008-12-21T20:52:00.000-08:00

I know I'm no fashion critic or anything. I can barely figure out my outfits some days. Last time I put down the dress that every girl wears. Mix reviews from that blog, but who cares because it is a new day, and a new topic. This time I would just like to pick on a specific group of people. This is for the UFC fighters, MMA fighters, Pride fighters, Inspiring fighters, and people that just like to fight in cages. We know you can fight and all that cool stuff, matter fact you would probably make me tap out, but must you wear a TAP OUT shirt everywhere you go. We know you are a WARRIOR, who can cause AFFLICTION, because you are part of FAMILIA GLADIATORIA, which means you are a SINISTER, COMBAT KILLER with VENUM who shows NO FEAR! Amazing how I took all these cage fighting clothing brands and created an amazing sentence out them. Please hold all your applause till the last period….thank you! Anyway can you please lay all this stuff to rest like FUBU!

The funny thing is when they don't wear these shirts; you'll see some of them in button up dress shirts with 5 buttons undone, and no under shirt. WTF……HAHAHA! Lastly when you are about to fight someone outside of a building, what is the point of taking off your shirt? It is either you going to get beat up or you are going to do the beating up. Does it make a difference rather your shirt is on off? I know if you get tackled on the asphalt, shirtless your back is going to look similar to my ancestors with the addition of road rash.

END OF BLOG

***BEEEEP***

SCROLL UP TO REPEAT THIS MESSAGE!

LAZY FAT PEOPLE

2008-12-21T20:48:00.000-08:00

I love fat people; I just dislike the lazy ones. Whoever labeled obesity as a disease/handicap, is a freak'n idiot! Now the lazy people get handicap signs, so they can park close to their destination. God forbid them if they had to park far. They might be out of breath, or even break a sweat! There are many more handicap/elderly people who deserve the closer parking.

NEWS FLASH: HEY LAZY FAT PERSON, WALKING MAY ACTUALLY BE GOOD FOR YOU!

It has always puzzled me to watch a lazy fat person walk from the parking lot to the grocery

store, get the motorized cart, fill it up with fatty foods, then ride the cart all the way back to their car! WTF! Didn't you walk in? Can't you walk out?

I know I may sound mean, but everyone has an opinion. I'm not talking it is just my pen writing…..LoL! Just to show some sympathy, and add some comic relief……….I know your knees and feet hurt are killing you walk, but it takes time, dedication, and patience. I'm part of the 145Lbs & under club. I'm trying to gain weight so I can look buff in a medium shirt ya dig!

Why Am I Single?!?!?

2008-12-21T20:41:00.000-08:00

I sure do get asked that question a lot. I don't mind it at all, I just get tired of saying,
"I don't know?"

I hear such comments like,
"You're such a great guy,"
"You're so cute,"
"Whatever girl ends up with you shall be lucky," etc.

I don't know the answer to be honest. Maybe I'm too nice, or maybe I'm just really ugly……who knows?!?! Then I got a crazy thought like===================================================> Maybe I am destined to save the world! Crazy thought, I know, but just go along with the concept. Every great super hero had a love interest, but never settled down. What if I did happen to settle down, and that it just so happened I had to risk my life to save the world and never came back. My lady would be devastated. I never wanted to cause pain. I just wanted to always see her happy. So I guess that concludes my blog, and my random thought of a concept!

Yes I’m a Gentleman, But No I’m not Ready For Settle’n!

2008-12-21T20:32:00.000-08:00

So there was a question asked the other day.

"DJ, you are such a nice guy, smiles all the time, a gentlamen.......how come you don't have a girlfriend?"

"Great question," I replied.

"I know i'm no prince charming, but no girl has really blew my mind."

Simple reply I guess you could say. Then she says, "There has to be more reasons why."

In my mind I'm like, "Does this girl have anything else to do, rather than ask me 21 questions!"
Being the nice guy that I am, I went ahead and replied.

"I do enjoy going out with girls. They are the most beautiful people on the planet. There are so many to chose from! I like taking the girls to the movies, dinners, amusement parks, and what not, but overtime the girl I may be interested in at the moment gets boring, and I move .. the relationship title takes affect. I feel I put myself in situations by taking a girl somewhere, where there is going to be a lot of other girls there. Then I get thoughts like....if i wasn't with this girl, what would be my chances with her.....lol!"

"Interesting," she says.

Then she adds, "So you are a man ho?"

"No, No, No," I say.

"Yes I'm a gentleman, But no I'm not ready for settle'n!"

"I know karma will come around. Matter fact I think it's coming around for the 2nd time. The right girl will come around as well!"

Damn Girl, your breath makes my Nose Cry!

2008-12-21T20:22:00.000-08:00

I’m in a feel good mood tonight, which means you shall in up in the state of cachinnation (dumb it down terms: Laughter). I get fuel and I just keep on going! So fella’s, have you ever talked to a girl whose breath is so bad, your eyes begin to water, nose begins to leak, and your nose hairs curl up? What really makes it worse is if you accidently inhale as her first word comes out to where you can taste the fierceness of the breath. Some girls got fire breath like Dhalsim from Street Fighter……”Yoga Fire!” HAHAHAHAHAHA! It really sucks when you have checking out a pretty girl, and when the opportunity arrives to talk to her, the bum like breath catches with an uppercut. Stuff like that ruins the night, but opens the gate for an appetizing Blog!

Bon Appetite!!!

Hope you Enjoyed!
