Time Waits For No Man Or Woman For That Matter...

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin' slippin, into the future..." Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller


I have been working on a paper all week for a class that I have been taking and let me tell y'all, it's kicking my ass! So much so that the I am literally brain dead sitting here trying to write this post. So my Soulsters, this one is most definitely going to be a short stint.

Mention number one: Just an FYI, there will be a new podcast coming for In NYC next week!

Mention number two: I will say it now, congrats to Jay Z and Beyonce. According to all of the news flying around, they should be married by now. Apparently they were to marry today here in NYC. Good for them, I wish them the best. Now let's move on...

I am last on the draw with this one, but I think it's worth a mention. Photographer D Blanks has a wicked exhibition out with celebrity "Alter Egos", which is what his show is appropriately called. He enlisted celebs such as Eva Pigford (ANTM), Ciara and Kim Porter to name a few. Check it out, his work is quite impressive.

My girl Vivrant Thang went to see Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and has reviewed it on her site. Check out what she had to say.

The basketball gods seem to have finally awaken from their slumber! Isiah Thomas is ALMOST out of the Knicks organization (thank the lord!!), I know, I know - one step at a time. Being a basketball buff, it has been quite difficult and perplexing to watch this man literally single handedly screw the once prestigious organization of the New York Knicks. The Knicks have gone from a once exceptional basketball team and organization, to a sexual harassment lawsuit and one of the worst teams presently in the NBA. And that was all by the hand of Mr. Isiah Thomas himself. I thought his days for playing dirty during his time with the Pistons were done. Well his president position is now occupied by Donnie Walsh and lord does he have some spring cleaning to do. One position down, one more to go y'all.

Late mention: I'm sitting here watching Mary J and Jigga on David Letterman and Jay Z is a hoot!! Well he had me cracking up, along with the studio audience. I honestly didn't think that David would be interviewing them. I thought that they were there solely for entertainment purposes. If you didn't catch his remarks on R. Kelly, you need to check it out. I know it was old news, but it was JOKES!! Scroll down the page, you will find the video on the left hand side, last entry. And "Can't Knock The Hustle" is a classic joint that is no joke.

And lastly, I promise I will have a REAL blog posting come Monday. I will at least leave you with the flashback of the day. I am in a funky mood, so I figured I would go with a house classic. There is a video for the song (I had no idea) , but the quality is not that great. So here's a substitute. I feel a soul clap coming on...




Hear y'all soon...
