THE DAILY DIVERSION

TAKING IT BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL...

This will probably be a short post today, since there's not a lot going on. I'll actually start out with my song of the day, since it's kind of funny. Well, to me anyway.

Song of the Day: "You Can't Fade Me" by Ice Cube from AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

This is funny because I haven't listened to this in forever, but I know why it popped up. While I was at home yesterday for lunch my Boo and I watched part of VH1's "Least Hip Hop Moments". In the top 25 there was a segment where Ice Cube directed a video for Color Me Badd. Yes, that Color Me Badd. We all know they suck. Cube knew they sucked. However, a brotha's still gotta get paid, right? He said he was just doing it to bolster his resume. I can't blame him either. I think he's doing okay now, right? He doesn't have to rap for a living anymore, anyway. I still love me some Ice Cube.

Also, there's just something funny about the lyrics:


It still makes me laugh out loud. It has since 1991, when the album came out.

I had several dreams last night that I kept waking out of, but none were extremely memorable, so I didn't write anything down, nor do I really remember anything this morning. However, I did just realize that I forgot to shave this morning. Maybe I'll remember while I'm at home for lunch? Don't count on it though.

However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have enough Cherokee blood in me that I can go a couple of days before anyone, besides Adrianne, even notices that I've actually got facial hair. The only reason she knows is because it rubs her raw when I kiss on her.

Do you ever have those feelings that something just isn't right? Well, I have a strange sixth sense, and right now my "spidey sense" is tingling. My Grandma has been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks now. She went in because of constipation. Well, constipation doesn't keep you in the hospital for 2 weeks. Well, not me anyway. I've talked to her several times and some days are better than others. I've also talked to a couple of people that have gone to see her and they also say something else is going on, but they can't put their finger on it. So, we're going to take a 4 hour road trip this weekend and spend a little time at the hospital on Saturday. When I get this feeling I know I'm not going to be satisfied until I see things for myself.

I also think that it might help her to feel better if she sees me, my sister, or my Dad. I believe my Sis is going up there next weekend, so that will help too. I have this feeling that she's just kind of down in the dumps and depressed because she feels like nobody loves her and she's left all alone up there, and all of that is just adding to her medical problems. I guess I'll find out soon enough, won't I?

I thought I'd close with the Ice Cube thought of the day:

"I took my forty out the bag, and took a swig.
Cause I was gettin' overwhelmed by Bebe's kids."
