PSA For NOI Muslims ONLY!!!

The Nation Of Islam, under the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and under the guidance of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan IS NOT a Gang! I repeat, "It IS NOT a Gang!"

gang1 [gang] noun
1. a group or band
2. a group of youngsters or adolescents who associate closely, often exclusively, for social reasons.
3. a group of people with compatible tastes or mutual interests who gather together for social reasons

Much of what Minister Farrakhan has shared with the world, but especially with the Nation may tickle the ear of its listener as he berates our oppressors, but that's not by design...

Much of what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad left us, as taught to him by God-In-Person, Master Fard Muhammad, may have the remnants of great lore, hinged on the precipice of spectacular, but his messages are Instructions, NOT anecdotal references!

We are running out of time! We must develop a "get-my-ass-in-gear" mentality post-haste! The light is "Green!" Neutral is a position of readiness without an instruction. But we have an Instruction! Put your self in gear! No more idling! Orientation class is over. "Do For Self" was not to be just a popular catch phrase!

This is a blanketed statement that touches a wide-spectrum of actionary measures. Let's BE PRODUCTIVE!

That is all...

"Love" should never be mistaken for neglect.

This is important... Many of us twirl in our minds how "I" (We) can best please my (our) special people in my (our - this is the last one I'm doing this, I swear) lives. And in my efforts to be warm, accommodating, sincere, and seemingly appreciative I may have overlooked one major thing - "What does she/they want?" My purpose for my actions might be quite valiant but if unwarranted, buttressed by a lacking in quality communication, my effort(s) may not manifest a pleasing response.

Take for instance this scenario:

My queen has just been traveling all day with business clientele and I want to surprise her with a hot meal of her favorite dish. She calls me to state she's back in town, sooner than expected, and needs for me to pick her up. Now I'm in the middle of preparing a potentially pleasant surprise for her and didn't anticipate this breach in preparation time. But I still want to unveil the surprise. So I continue doing what I'm doing, only a little quicker than before, all awhile thinking I have more than enough time to get to her, and she's gonna be thrilled. I finally finish the prep work; the house smells great from the aroma. I look at the clock and see that about 20 minutes has passed since speaking with my queen. I make haste to get out the home to go get her (she's approximately 20 mins away). While in route, I remember I also intended to add decor to the dining room table, but I needed to stop at the store for a new vase I saw a week earlier. It's on the way to getting her, and I figure it'll only take 3 to 5 mins tops to get it. So I make the detour, and sure enough, it only hindered me "6" mins to retrieve it. I'm happy that she's gonna be so happy about what I've done for her to show her I appreciate her. I look down at my phone and see I have a text message. It reads, "Don't Worry About It." I'm about 5 mins away still, and now I'm wondering what does that mean. I get to her place of work only to find she's not there. I call her several times but she doesn't pick up. I text her questioning, "Where are you? - Are you still here?" but she doesn't respond. I look at my watch and realize that 50 mins has passed since the last time I spoke to her...

My point is, though your efforts and intent may be good, without communication, only you know it to be such. Your efforts to showcase "Love" may appear as "Neglect" to onlookers, especially those whom you intend to evoke effect from. This probably could have been remedied with a simple phone call or text explaining the delay. How does one explain why a 20 minute route takes 50 minutes to complete without some communication? My interest isn't to argue tolerance and patience, only communication, opposing perception and reflection.

...just a PVAJewel for the day. Make today a great day!!

Any Woman who will HONESTLY attempt to defend Lil Wayne and his entourage has absolutely no sense of Self-Worth! I admit I'm a little caught up in the production of a YMCMB collaborative track, but that's as far as it goes!! Lil Wayne is often credited for being creative, which somehow translates to him being a great lyricist. However REAL LYRICIST exist in this day and Wayne aint one of them! That's just my opinion on the matter, but back to the subject.

Most of the time I'm listening to the radio, it all sounds like White Noise to me, but today I decided to listen to the lyrical content of some choice tracks. I came across the collab between Lil Wayne and Future, with Drake on the hook (~Good Kush). "Long as my Bitches love me"  was the anthem of the track. What!?!? Seriously!?!?! That's what gets the people going today? Am I THAT out of the loop?? But this is a book report moment, so I'm taking notes. Lil Wayne comes on, and this (in part) is what he spits about women:

...and these hoes love me like Satan...
...and all she eat is d*$k, she's on a strict diet...
...She say, "I never want to make you mad, I just want to make you proud, I say baby just make me c*m and then don't make a sound"...
...these hoes got pu**ies like craters, cant treat these hoes like ladies...
...Yeah, all my bitches love me, and I love all my bitches, but its like soon as I c*m I come to my senses...

Appalling! But what made it worse was while I was listening to it, a young lady in an adjacent car was listening to it too, 'cept she already knew all the words to the song as if she wrote them herself! I was hurt.

All I'm saying is... Without preaching, every women on this Planet deserves better than that mentality against them. Every last one of them! But it's hard to want to defend you when this is what you cater to. I don't want to Hate on Wayne. Fact is, he's a victim too and I absolutely NOTHING him (but that's another blog at another time).

Please have better respect for yourself Queens... You are soooo deserving of respect, but you can't get it if you don't act the part. Forget saying "Leave Drugs Alone!";  LEAVE WAYNE ALONE! Cold Turkey is your best bet!
