Welcome to 2007

"It hurts my neck to look back in my past....so I don't". -DaChamp


This was a quick year for some, and others it was a slow torture. I looked back on my posts and realize that if I wasn't getting at someone, I was recovering from some type of letdown in some way. Not as happy as I was last year, I managed to come back and make some things happen that brings my level back up. Although I know the vast amount of haters out there, it's you fucks that keep me moving past yall. In other words, keep talking your shit, I look at you with a middle finger up and a smile, gotta love that huh?

I'll break it down in 3

The Pain:

C&S - Fuck you for everything you did to me, because of yall I set myself back instead of move foward, those 18 hour shifts were no joke, and not only did I suffer the pain of the physical, yall opened me up to racial profiling, exploitation of immigrants, and the worst business form of corporate prostitution I have ever seen. It's god that I left yall even without a job to fall back on, the way I saw it, it was either me or yall, and I sure wasn't going to let it be me.

The Aftermath of C&S - You would think that something good would come out of this place and you know what? It didn't, I lost too much when it came to that place, and I find myself putting back the pieces in my world that I lost because of that.....onward and upward dig it?

Loose Lips - No it didn't sink the ship this time, but when cats go loose with the mouth you tend to wonder where the hate is stemming from. Earlier this year I had to come to grips with someone out there who has a problem keeping my name out of thier mouth. What bothered me even more is that what was being said I had told someone out of confidence. There is nothing more hurtful than when you say something to someone you love and they tell someone you can't stand with hope they won't use it against you. When they do, it's like WTF? Trust broken, now what??? You forgive, but can't forget. This has been bothering me for some time now, because this person still seems to want to get at me.....sigh.

The Setbacks - We all have them, but mine were too big this year, with the job holding down most of my year, the things that I wanted to get done I couldn't. The time I could sit down, I slept. The time I could think I was trying to fix things in my life. I lost so much trying to gain. It took a toll on my relationship and my friendship, never want to go through that again, I look foward to not having that happen.

The Anger:

My Pops - No not the talented blogger from the Bean, but my sperm doner who decided to shoot himself not too long ago. A relationship broken, I can't fix to save my own life. It is rather unfortunate that I haven't seen him since that last visit where he showed his ass. Still yet, I can't update because I don't care anymore, how's that for angry?

MySpace - You gotta love those bitches who talk all this shit on their platform and then go private so they can't be exposed to their own bullshit ex: myspace.com/jrtheking . You want to have a site to highlight yourself? That's fine, when you start talking out of your ass and then go private so no one can see what you have to say but your friends? That makes you a bitch, it also weakens your fan base as it is limited to people who take the time to actually listen to what you have to say. Mind you this is the first site I'm speaking on here folks. So my words to you is stay private. Shit, I have enough friends, just know that even though I'm well retired from the ol' hood games, I'm still qualified to put it on that ass on sight. No internet thuggery here, just real talk for your ass. You know why King*.

Excuse Me Miss?!? - Can't go without talking about the birds in the world. Sho* A* P* M*(not you but YOU). Throughout this year, yall have become headaches at one point or another. Some of yall had the gall to even try and tell me that you would make suitable replacements for the void I had in my life. Yet, here you go looking for a 'comforter' to go with your remote controlled handheld to make it through the night with. Next year there will be more, and yes I have no issues with shutting yall down. Just bugs me how some of you think sometimes. Damn.

The Highlights:

The Job - Back with the kids, leadership position, doing what I do best. The turnaround came on September 11th, call that left handed luck, but hey, I can go back to school and I can search for a job that pays me my due at the same time. Trouble don't last always, and to think after C&S it took me a good two weeks before I landed it. What you say Hammer??? "Proper".

The Circle - You drop some and pick up others, it's the way of the world. To the ones who've been there T*Baby, PrincessDom*, A$*, The Fire Element (welcome home), AY*, CMack*, Ebo*, Mist1*....yall have been great with everything. I can only hope you all stay on level, as will I. Let's get it for 007 shall we?

The Projects - Coming back to play basketball (hey Pops* we still lookin' for cats with that 'has been itis' feel free to get at me), working on a book, writing articles, learning about myself, staying in shape, performing poetry, still blogging, the list goes on and on, bigger things for this year, will surely keep you all posted on that.

Shout Outs - To My lil' brother JJerk* who had his baby on the 30th, to T*Baby, who took another step in life over the holiday, K* who is killing them over at Orato, Mi* who had his baby last year, all of you get love from daChamp* keep doing what yall do.



I'm out yall be cool for the new year.

Try to stay away from the neckbrace...I will too.
