Things That Work My Last Good 1!
There are things that just errrk the hell out of me. This being one. I will leave names out of it because I'm not trying to call no one out. But i honestly just don't like when people act like this. And then hell it's more then one person who act like this. But I don't see the point.
OK on the realest shit I have ever wrote on here. I am fully comfortable with myself! I love me up to stuck up levels. LOL. Sure we all have days when ok we may not feel we are totally on point. But hell I floss on my off days. Its nothing. And I notice that some people aren't in touch with their "Star Player" and feel the need 2 try & drag other people down in order to make them feel better. But in the case of "Empress Journee' " the shit always back fires. HA HA HA HA HA HA I have a lot of friends. Like people I can depend on when shit hits the fan. I can truly call them friends because they have proven their friendship to me. I have very little secrets from my friends. And if they don't know I don't think its a secret. It may more so be something that just hasn't come up. But if they were to ask I would tell them! The few regrets I do have learned to live with. And would gladly share my lessons learned.... In life, love, business. All you have to do is ask. I hold my friends very dear to me. I have a few blog post where you can tell. So I hate when other people who don't realize how close I am with my friends. Come in the circle and try & pull my card. By telling a stories that are meant to embarrass me. But where that whole plot flips on the person. Is when the friend already knows all the "embarrassing" stories. So who ends up looking dumb. HAAAAAAA Really. Only those who have very low self esteem try and embarrass others to make themselves feel good. It's really not a good look on their part. Even going as far as to put their selves in stories they know good and damn well they were nowhere around. Or you taking third party hand me down information. I find it really funny honestly. I've notice that there are people out here who are scared to stand on their own. Scared 2 take the steps to make their dreams come true. But they see you out here grinding not accepting less. & instead of them making their own foot prints in the world they rather ride off your name. What is that. I just find that shit funny. Instead of putting others down to make yourself feel good. You should find another way to feel good about yourself. You really wont get that far that way. Its really time to start feeling yourself. If you not happy with you. Don't take that out on others. find a way to start feeling yourself. I can't help you with your self esteem. Why because thats esteem of yourself. Mine is in tack. I'm good. I know I'm not perfect. But I love my not perfect-ness! I own my faults. Yes I am rudely blunt burp/curse like a grown ass man. Trip on a everyday base. Fall more then most. Have high bitchy moments. I have times where I don't want to talk or be bothered. Who don't. I know I'm one of those people who you either really like. Or curse out under your breathe because you know you don't want to take it there with me. This is me. Love me or fuck off. I'm Just Journee'

I'm Such a Lady
O & seeing that I really don't feel like leaving the bed. Let alone trying to cook i decided to order a pizza (Pizza Hut you already know) & I open the door the pizza man would be BEYOND FINE! I'm saying he was from the Virgin Islands. Accent all sexy! Tatted neck (If you don't know a tatted neck is my weakness!) He had 11 tat's. Seeing that my normal pizza guy is a chunky Mexican cat i really didn't put on anything spiffy to open the door. So when I open the door in my cheerleader shorts & dead prez fuck the world middle finger shirt on. & hair uncombed. He had jokes "You just order a pizza & fall asleep!" But we ended up talking for a minute. Yep I was getting macked on with a puffy face! YEP! I still got it lol.
& yes I know I'm such a F-N LADY for sharing!

Granny Get-N Tatted
I'm so hype!
Needless to say I have a bunch of tat's.
I remember when I 1st got them... well when I 1st started my tat's. Not honestly this is when I had a tongue ring. I was 18 (had a tat already but my mom didn't know) But it was much harder to hide the fact I had a tongue ring. She was HOT! I mean HOT! HA HA HA (I laugh now. OK well hell I laughed then) Screaming "Why would you do this to your body willingly?" lol I mean she went on... For @ lest 30 min's. Just so happen we were on our way to my Granny's house. & she said "You better not let your grandmother see it!" My tongue was swollen so it was really no hide n the fact that something was "wrong". My Granny pulled me aside and was like whats wrong? And I showed her. Much to my mothers surprise she was more amazed by it. & wanted to know "did it hurt, how long idd it take, how do you clean it...." i mean all these questions! Far from being mad. So we ended up going back through this when I got my ankle tat lol. (I really don't remember my tat order) So we are going to go with ankle tat. My mom was mad all over again. "I didn't raise you to get all these tat's" lol. She told me when I was 16 "get tat's when you go to college so i can say you went to college & went wild!" lol my moms funny! But I showed my granny again she LOVED my tat! But she really loved the one I got in honor of my grandfather. Which is on my ankle and foot. She said "If I got a tat when I was younger that would have been the one I would have got! She really loves it!
So to my point!
This weekend we were talking over a plate of satti. When she told me she wanted to go with me next time I got my tat's touched up. My granny cool as hell so I'm with it. Then it hit me.
"Granny let's get matching tat's"
she said no she was too old to get a tat.
which proved my point, that being old was the best time to get tatted! :-) To quote myself "Not like you going on no job interviews or nothing!"
Which made her say
"Your RIGHT! We can get matching tat's"
:-) My granny's the coolest! You know i'm going to tape this one! I'm so geeked up! I tried to get my mom to cave in but she not falling for it :-( But me and granny going to be kicking it! W/ matching tat's & Klondike Bars! :-)
If you want to see how crazy my granny and mom are you can catch them both on Ozy Reigns TV!
Granny is the 1st one that starts playing.
Mom is like three video's in

The Raido....
1st I hardly listen to the radio @ all any more. But hell with all this greatness. MP3 players, IPODS, CDs, XM Radio. Really who wants to listen to the radio. But for the last few years I've noticed why I don't listen to the radio. Nope not because they seem to play the same songs over and over again. But damn.... The radio has turned into one never ending T-Pain album. I'm not hating he eat-n! Get that money! But hell its like on a non-stop T-Pain loop! Errrrrr is he the only one in the world that can make a hit? If so where has the talent gone..... Really.

Journees' LA Journey
I am home now. I had an amazing trip but hell Im a east coaster to the bone! DIE HEART! But I have a special place for the left side. I went over there to spend some time with my fam.(few of my cousins) & Help Ozy on this mission to spread great music to the world. {Side note: You can still download The Exciting Times CD for free @ www.ozyreigns.net! } This trip was a true blessing for us. Got to link up w/ a bunch of folk. Made major business moves. This year has truly been amazing and its only April! LOL. I can't wait to see what else is in store for me. But my thoughts on LA.... Good and Bad.
1. My allergies were the devil out there. I didn't care for that too much. So alot of my pics are going to show me with a puffy face.
2. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles is the most over rated place ever! But the Waffles are banging service piss poor. And its ran by Mexicans.
3. Now me being a non-beef/pork eater! I loved LA for their variety! You can get turkey bacon or sausage Damn near everywhere. Even get turkey burgers @ fast food spots like Fat burger. Even turkey dogs @ hot dog on a stick {O i messes w/ the lime lemon aid! I messes with it HARD.}!
4. They have the best sweets! Like you just reached your hand in the TV and on the food network. O I'm going to miss that! lol Yes Parker looks tasty but we are talking about the cake.
5. Don't fall for it. Tony Tone Toni lied. It rains in Cali. And is often cold! LOL.
6. You can buy any and everything on Hollywood blvd.
7. Its some fucking Odd ass people out there.
Like this Jimi Hendrix impersonator I honestly wasn't going to tip him but gave in. Trust its a million and two of these impersonators and everyone wants a damn dollar. So you really have to pick and choose, or keep walking. But Jimi had "management" they caught me.
and by the way. Some of the impersonators are really bad! LoL Hay I kick the truth. Ozy wasn't feeling this kat. Said he's trying to get paid for moving slow. LOL. . LOL But my cousin Era loved the big finish. He did some mild poppin & locking lol. "Mild"
8. So many people ride bikes & skate boards. Its crazy!
9. Everything closes @ like 2am. So not like the NYC. Or even some places in ATL.
10. Man Hollywood is amazing. War of the Worlds crash... bonkers right... this is a real plane they took apart and made messy crazy what people have the know how to do. Just crazy. I really wanted to climb on it lol. Maybe for Halloween. They even have the Bates motel from Psycho! same spot see how crazy hollywood is?!?!?!?!?!?!? And yep O called me a geek when I got excited about going through who-ville. :-) I did get extra happy.
11. Wii is fun in any town! LOL
12. Traffic out there is so disrespectful its like dents in every ones car! lol.
Y I will not Fly USAIR Anymore
Im just happy to be home.
Trip recap coming....

Thoughts on LA so far....
I have to show you some flicks we have taken thus far.
Ozy Reigns In LA from Empress Journee on Vimeo.
had to get my chicken and waffles on... But the chicken wasn't good.... Don't believe the hype. It should be called chicken and tea.... Because the tea was on point.
{Ozy Reigns & DJ Yahtz} I think the best part of this trip has been getting Ozy's music out on the west coast. And they are feeling the Ozy Reigns take over! But my 2nd fav part of this trip was getting to see my play brother Parker. You may recognize him from being on that show Big Brother (Talk about a raw deal) But he's been my friend for years. Watch out for him because he is making things happen. But you have to check out some of the clips we have taken since we got here. some kids @ vence beach having fun.
Teens having fun dancing! from Empress Journee on Vimeo. Dont get me on this crazy right here.
Snake Man from Empress Journee on Vimeo.
vence glass walker from Empress Journee on Vimeo. Foolishness is not the word. I've done so much thus far and the trip isn't even over yet. :-) Can't wait to show you what other foolishness I can get myself into...
New Music Fr Kam Moye A.K.A. Supastition
MYX Music Label founder Karim Panni says Kam Moye's growth in his music and message are the first things that stand out. He states, "Kam is making next level music, and in my opinion, is easily making the best music of his career." With MYX Music Label's backing and Big Dho's (Hall of Justus) management, Kam Moye plans to showcase his evolution as an emcee with Splitting Image. The album represents the transformation from Supastition's braggadocio personality into Kam Moye, a more conceptual artist. Although still using his alias Supastition for select collaborations and projects, Kam Moye plans to shift his creativity towards the personal and substantive side of the spectrum.
Kam Moye, as Supastition, has a discography to be proud of. He has not only experienced success and critical acclaim with his previous two albums and three EPs, but has also been featured on projects with KRS One, Little Brother, Royce the 5′9, Stoupe (Jedi Mind Tricks), Rhymefest, Elzhi (Slum Village), Bahamadia, Cunninlynguists, Akrobatik, and many others. In 2008, when he began using his birth name, he released his free EP, Self-Centered, which received over 4,000 downloads in less than 24 hours. Additionally, his outspoken music video, "Black Enough?," garnered serious attention and views on sites such as Okayplayer, Nahright, Onsmash, and WorldStarHipHop. As Kam Moye embarks on this new path with MYX Music label, fans should expect the same standard of authenticity, but with a higher level of artistry.

Racism @ The Wal-Mart
J: Damn take over the whole Wal-mart.
And we kept it moving.... -> Now this is when she pushes her cart a side and turns around and says....
WL: What did you say sweetie?
{In my head I said I know this bitch didn't just call me "sweetie". Trust me when I say I now understand what my mothers been telling me for years. It's not what you say but how you say it!}
J: I said you could have fucking said excuse me.
WL: You don't own the fucking wal-mart!
J: You know what Fuck You.... I'm not about to sit up here and go and forth with your dumb ass. & me and my homegirl walks away. When this bitch runs behind me like she want to get her ass beat!!!!!!!!!! But stops short of my personal space line. So she was close enough to feel like she was big shit. But far enough away that if i went to choke her ass. It would take two steps at my fastest of paces. And this bitch says the unthinkable.
WL:
Just because the president is your color! Don't mean you run the fucking world.
(Then she rubbed her are a to i guess refer to my skin color.....)
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW
1st where the hell did that come from because we were talking about her rude ass. B-Rock had nothing to do with nothing.
2nd She was in a store full of B-Rock supporters and trust they weren't having that shit. So a side from me spassing on her dumb ass. Ice jumps into too. Now she getting scared and backing down. No we weren't going to jump her. But she was running up on me like she want the business. And trust if you want drama I can accommodate you with you problems. With no problems. And lawd when you get me and Ice together its a wrap. We have been known to fuck up a few wal-marts in our college years. So this was just a fun flashback to us. The lady started getting scared when Ice got in it though. I guess she thought she could take me because I'm short. O but no please don't get fooled by my whip appeal or baby face. Im not a e-z win! So around this time I guess she started to notice that she said the wrong thing about the wrong man. Because wal-mart was shutting down. Cashiers closed their lines. One came around the way with a broom in hand. This older lady came and stood by me and ice you would have thought we came together. But she was waiting on that chick 2 jump stupid. Trust we were blanking on this lady hard as fuck. My homegirl is a beast out here and dumb as hell told her "You shouting in the right church.... about to get saved."
CLASSIC
And she had a few more good ones in there too. But the police were called. & managers came up front. They came to us 1st (They were both B-Rock supporters as well) I told them what was said. They asked us to calm down. Which by the time they got there I was calm. I really was calm the whole time because other wise they would have been pulling me off her and not talking to me. So I told her what happen and what was said. She got pissed at the women too! & told me the police had been called and they were going to handle it. So the end result was that the lady had like two carts wroth of food in one cart. (It was the 1st of the month.) And no one would check her ass out. And her kids mom I guess is who that lady was. And husband all left her there looking about dumb and mad. LOL My point is I really didn't know that B-Rock being pres. was so painful for people to handle. I didn't know it was that deep. I mean he's been the pres for how long now? Hasn't gone to any other country and popped off because someone tried to kill his pops. Didn't start no wars. Hasn't hiked the gas up $3plus. Hasn't done shit. So why she got so mad and said that shit is beyond me. And further more the pres. is not my "color" I'm a native. So she looked like a ass and then some when it all falls down. Hell At the end of the day I made her feel stupid. I got my candy for the flight. And bonded with my fellow B-Rock supporters. Out come was good. Do I feel bad I didn't pick up a can of pork and beans and smack her into some sense. Yes. But its OK! Because I know her dumb ass had to go to another location and pick out all that food again. But I'm happy to know that there are a gang of B-Rock supports who will attack @ a moments notice for their pres. God Bless America.
