12-21-09 Damn Sinbad! 8 Million?! I’m praying for you brotha. You ain’t paid nary a tax in like a decade or something? Just don’t end up like Wesley Snipes. New Acronym:MJTTDIDABMJ Til The Day I Die And Beyond I am really not excited about the holidays. Big thank you shout out to those who check…

12-18-2009 OOOHH, just remembered. In that Rolling Stone book there’s a pic of Mike on the Scream set giving the middle finger. When I saw that I said…OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…out loud. Broadway by George Benson feels so good. Triumphant. I can just ride this song forever. I like the determined nature of the song, the energy. I…

A bitch is pissed the fuck off this morning. Half-assed managing is something I cannot tolerate! Mrs. Fields really ain’t worth the money you spend for them. Those Oatmeal Peanut Butter Scotchies are gooder than a mug though. So I decided I would try because I couldn’t fight it. I would do it so good…

Was on my way to Whole Foods to get some vocal-eze at the suggestion of my vocal coach for scratchiness. I said, don’t go over there, but some how the ay I took to get to Sherman Oaks too me past Hayvenhurst. Recognizing that made me realize that I do exist. I take up space…

You know, I’m not used to seeing Mike be rusty. THIS IS IT was pretty rusty. He never lets us see him rusty. I need to take a dance class. I miss motion. I’m sad, perpetually. Rarely am I genuinely happy. People ask how I am and I say, Can’t complain. But that’s just a…

I did not let James Brown happen again! Stevie got Pipes! I just went by myself. Ledisi, India Arie, Robin Thicke, Mary Mary and Mosaic were really good. And the super surprise of the night…MICHELE! Yes! She is just so cute and a very dynamic performer. I love the faces she makes. She is so…

The Grammy Museum:At the Grammy Museum the Mike Exhibit was nice and expanded. There was a listening booth where you could watch videos like Dirty Diana, the sped up version of Smooth Criminal, You Are Not Alone, and Black or White, minus the best part-the tantrum. They had stations that you watch videos on with…

12-12-09 Shanice and Tasha Scott from Xscape can do similar runs. They create a very similar sound. So is today NO HOT WATER DAY? I have tried on 2 occasions to wash my ass in foreign places, but to no avail. I forgot my moisturizer too. Now I bet everyone will be done left the…

12-10-09 My chin looks like a damn star crunch! I hate the freaking lip trill! It’s my voice lesson nemesis. Something is amiss. Something that brings me great joy: making sure people know that I AM NOT from here. Old Vietnam veteran from chi-town rolled up on me like “you dressed like its snow on…
