YES!!!! ITS THE INKSTARZZ.COM BLOGS

Edgar Allen Poe, Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou… Ok I’ll stop here only wanted to name a few, but let me ask how many more will there be like you? These days the greatest writings will go unread. Yeah, sad but it’s true.

You see pen met ink and they both met the pad all they wanted was A’s in school because things looked more promising as a grad,

They formed a little study group and taught people how to heal, they gave the whole world a way to express what they feel

They were all doing great but I guess things got a little boring

A class clown named gossip came along and they all tried to ignore him

You see pen, ink and pad gave people a way to express how they felt about self

Gossip wanted to make everyone forget about self and talk about everyone else

Ink and pad didn’t budge

but pen slowly found a way

to secretly start meeting up with gossip every day,

They start taking over the world one topic at a time,

Ink and pad felt the burn as true writers started to decline,

Gossip gained fame once he linked up with T.V., T.V. was the place everybody wanted to be,

Gossip found many supporters

And pen started to feel the neglect,

But pen really got the picture once gossip met up with this new thing called the net

Net came with computer which means gossip no longer needed pen, now that’s three lost jewels who’s talents are slowly coming to an end

Ink, pen and pad contributed so much,

but with technology they’re rarely touched,

Now gossip rules all since it’s with radio, the net and T.V.

Which means ink, pen & pad will soon be able to stop gasping for air and be put out their misery

This long anticipated performance takes place September 19, 2010 at Numbers in Houston located at 300 Westheimer. Doors open at 8pm and show starts at 9pm.

Your misery is their pleasure
Motherf*ckas ain’t about shyt
But act like they down for whatever
Snakes think they clever
Wanna slither through your yard
Shyt all in your grass
But the minute that they need you
Their lips pressed all against your ass
Smiling in your face
Put a bullet in your back
Assassinate your character
Add fiction to the facts
F*ck your girl
F*ck your man
Turn around and shake your hand
Diss everything you do
Then claim to be your biggest fan
I see you looking like DAMN those actions can’t be true
But if you pay close attention, you will see I’m talking about you
Disloyal, dishonest, can’t be trusted gossiper
Talk down on others then act like a philosopher
Not happy with self, pray for others? demise
Weak simple coward can’t even look yourself in the eyes

Being a male, I’ve grown accustomed to being labeled certain things, such as: a dog, a pig, a liar and all types of things of that nature. One would think that if something has been going on for so long that it would soon change but the outlook on men has been the same for centuries. It seems like the female species came out the womb crying and saying “Girl he aint sh*t!” I wish there were some type of way I could do some kind of research survey to see how and where women get this mindset. Now I know men from earlier generations may have earned some of these negative titles that we have to deal with today, but what will it take for the men of today to get that negative cloud from over us? There are so many differences between then and now but somehow we still have the same wrap. For example, one of the major differences is, back then, the bad men were messing over good women (well, what seemed to be good women from the exterior).
These days the women should have the negative wrap.

Look at it like this, it’s a known fact that there are some men that have no respect for women, but now it seems like there are even less women that have respect for themselves. When you watch all these music videos and look around online, as a man you have to wonder if any of today’s women are worth being solid to. Honestly, when Kat Stacks is considered a role model, you have to question what’s going on with all women in general. Take a step back and be honest; it seems as if all the females walking the earth have the main goal of getting a tell-all book, getting a reality TV show or becoming some online sensation. It’s like they’re all gold-diggers. Now that may not be the case, but hey if a woman sees or hears about two men cheating she’s going to label all men as dogs. So why can’t men label all women as the ones that they see?! The odd thing is that it’s starting to seem like a lot of the men are ready to settle down, but can’t find that one girl that will love him for him to settle down with. In the day where men are out numbered by woman, it’s basically offset by the fact that most of the women are stuck in a little girl mentality and blaming the man instead of pointing the finger where it needs to be pointed (at other women).

Now this is where the ladies ask the writer “Where are you meeting your women? What type of women are you dealing with?” and the writer would simply respond by saying he’s dealing with women like you. Now as a man it can be said that men have to learn how to stop treating our good women like whores and start leaving the whores alone, but that’s really difficult when it looks as if there’s only 1 good woman out of every 8. So ladies the next time your “he aint shyt” syndrome kicks in, remember maybe he “aint shyt” because you “aint shyt” or maybe he bumped into one of your girls that “aint shyt” and now he feels like all women aren’t worth giving a shyt about…..sound familiar? Anyway, the kings want their queens back and I’m sure it’s vice versa so let’s all get our selves together and make some babies.

PS LADIES: Remember all men aren’t bad, Maybe you need better judgment, realistic standards or a glance in the mirror at yourself to see what you’re doing wrong. Well as always thanks for reading.

Men, you’re next….stay tuned…
