Heavenly Portrait

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shabooie to all...it says I haven't written anything since June. (Pharrell in "Grindin" voice) Draw-lin! Well things have definitely been moving and shaking since then. New job, first episode of a new show (We're Just Talking), and new friends. But I will make a conscious effort to discuss these items in great detail this week. Right now, I was listening to "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys, and put a little rhyme together, called "Heavenly Portrait". It's a little piece talking about my vision of the right woman, and how that matches with God's (Follow him at @TheoriginalHOVA jk). Check it out, and let me know how YOU feel.

Midnight’s arrived, and I’m impatiently waiting/

Dreaming of what you will be like, I’m creatively painting/

An image so vintage, a classic illustration/

Then I wake up and draw some more, this time a correlation/

I wonder if God’s the one painting; I’m just holding the frame/

Do our visions match up; are our ideas the same?

I know how this will be/

Because I see her every night, like The Wayans on TV/

She’ll be a show stopper with a sparkling personality/

And a smile so rich it could restart our economy/

Mahogany melanin...it runs like water/

That I’ll drink from every day; I’m always thirsty for her/

She has every damn right to be arrogant/

But the girl gives me her all, like she's a Samaritan/

Call her Claritin; she seems to clear my head up/

A sexual nature so strong, Mr. Clean would mess the bed up/

That’s what I see, that what I see/

Dear Heavenly Father, please cosign me/

Place this special woman right beside me/

And I’ll give this world life, Iike I’m an IV/

A beautiful gift from you, I’ll always adore it/

Deservedly so, she’s a heavenly portrait.

The Adventures of Captain Save-a-Ho, America's Most Misunderstood Hero

"Dude, hear me out: they gave Batman one, Thor, even Captain America...when's BLANKMAN getting a new film? You know he deserves it." Al Gore, 'We're Just Talking' While the quote was originally written for comedic purposes, I admit to privately celebrating the less popular and promoted superheroes of my time and before. Great protectors such as Colossus (first superhero with a high top fade), The Flash, and my favorite...Meteor Man, were commonly overlooked while guys like Batman and Superman soaked up the limelight. Buried even further below these 'underground' heroes however lies a figure that serves and protects more commonly than any of the previously mentioned figures, and NEVER gets the respect a defender of their credentials. They've saved more people than all of the Justice League members combined and never needed an alter ego; they simply go by the name of "Captain Save-a-Ho". Though speaking in a mildly facetio...

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...
