P.J.A. = Public Journee' Announcement

Yes I think its time for a P.J.A. (Hair & Make Up done by Era of Glam Inc. glaminc@gmail.com)
Now a little background on what I do. I'm a personal promoter in the indie hip hop world. So I meet and work with a lot of different people. On a lot of different projects. & I'm far from being a chick stuck in some type of box when it comes to music. Good music is good music rather it be dance, hood, crunk, R&B, Neo-Soul, lyrical hip hop, pop, rock... Whatever {Feel free to test my knowledge} But I have a major problem when it comes to stuff like this......: My homeboy is in the music world. He often tosses me business because hell I am the best at what I do. I appreciate the look out fully! But the other day my ultimate pet peeve accrued. He refereed this I guess group to my company.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Is all I can really say. I have never heard of these Kats before and I guess this is why they need help on the promotions side of things. But the guy calls me and I PROMISE I thought he was speaking some 3rd world language! All I could understand was

"A Mayne................................. yeah manye .............................. you know mayne"

And it took a hell of a lot to even figure out the manye. I Honestly couldn't understand this man or in his words mayne. I don't know who taught this man how to speak but I'm pretty sure Mushmouth had a lot to do with it. I guess he caught on that me and him wasn't communicating to the point and put on his interrupter! Who wasn't that much better. But I got the point. But I'm thinking these two non-talking motherfunkers are calling themselves rappers. If you can't talk how in the hell are you going to rap? I honestly don't even want to hear that mess. Yes I'm calling it mess because the man couldn't hold a conversation. So how the fuck is he going to hold a crowds attention.
People take this music business as a game. Its really a career! Its a real business. You have to practice You have to take pride. Don't just think you can get up on a stage and stand there spitting off a million and two 16s. Sorry it don't work like that. And I more importantly I don't work like that! If you don't take pride in yourself and your work. Don't ring my bell. Text my phone. Or try and give me a cd when I'm out. Because I don't operate like that. My team is ever ellite. I deal with people who are focused and who take pride in mastering their craft. Whatever that may be.

Moral of my blog today is.... Don't come to me 1/2 assin! Your wasting your time.

And please for those who have done this... Stop busting out in 15 min freestyles when I'm on a date or out with my people. Just give me your card and keep it moving. I'm not puffy I can't do shit with your freestyle. Save it for 106 and Park!

Random MoMentS With Journee

OK just to get the V-Day recap out of the way. It went great. I didn't get to bust a balloon sadly Photobucket" border="0">

(But I hope someone out there held me down.)

Honestly I think GG is secretly boo-ed up. (I know how rude lol) But I had a ball. Spending the day as it should have been spent. I took myself to the park. (I took a video of it still don't know if I want to post it. lol.) Spent time with my baby brother (He was my official Valentine!) Hung with the parents lol (My family is crazy!) Zipped by granny's house! & off to a day of hanging with my cousin Era Photobucket" border="0">! (She is also my hair and make up artist. I get that question a lot, when I'm out on business) Me and my cuz-o hang all the time! (She too is one of my best friends.) Now the 1st stop on our V-Day adventure was to get something to eat! And for some odd reason they put us in the back! By the fire place! I'm like come on. The hostess says "O we are seating the whole dinning room today." Now my my cousin didn't believe me. But I think they did that for one of two reasons. Either 1. They didn't feel like single women should eat alone on Valentines Day... (How Rude!) or 2. They thought we were Lesbo's and wanted to keep us hidden! How RUDE! Normal single ladies go out on Valentines Day too!!! (Haters) Then we went to this store.... Where a creepy nice guy kept stalking us with his eyes... Which lead us to the thought we prob. reject the men we should give a chance. But the nice strange guy was too strange...... For us! lol. Then we went to Micky D's..... Random VBlogs my very 1st one! LOL.

We are crazy I know... I left my cousin and went to hang out with one of my BESTEST friends Bishop

Me and Bis have been friends for something like 9 years. So yeah he has earned the right to be called one of my bestest friends. & after much shit talking on my part lol. We had the Guitar Hero show down! LOL... Just a taste of some random moments in the life of me! & I wanted to see if I liked my new cam. I don't know if I do or don't right now. LOL. But over all had a great day! Just hanging with good friends. Hay its all about the love. & PS I know my laugh is hard lol.







Over all, I hope you guys had a good day too! I should be back with some great thoughts come Monday. Been thinking about a good topic just got to focus.
