Eu escrevo porque a vida me dói. E me dói em agudo.
Eu canto porque a minha alma não cabe em mim.
Eu danço porque a loucura precisa de um corpo assim.
Eu faço a minha sinfonia, a minha própria orquestra.
Eu me faço de trovadora solitária, que para o rei governa.
Eu sorrio e crio a cena. Meu palco e meu espetáculo.
Eu fecharei as cortinas sozinha e sairei com aplausos.
Eu me dou o luxo de roubar a cena e os holofotes.
Eu encanto se quiser, como o canto da sereia, só por atuar.
Eu faço o jogo e faço as regras.
Eu dito a hora em que você sai da cena.
Eu digo, ainda, quando você deve se calar.
É pequeno, o prazo.
É um simples cenário.
Só essa vida que eu tenho para estrelar.

September 08, 2008 - Ngày tựu trường gặp lại MXH!
Phù, hôm nay - ngày đầu đi học vậy mà đã bắt đầu những ngày tháng: ra đi sáng sớm, lúc về đã khuya.
Cứ tưởng vẫn còn sớm, chắc online vài tiếng rùi ngủ, vừa kịp tắm xong lên xem thử - ai dè đã hơn 11 h rùi. Chắc phải ngủ sớm thôi, bảm tồn sức khỏe, nhưng mà hum nay ngày đầu đi học vả lại một ngày rất vui nữa nên phải viết vài dòng đã (không thì cái blog này héo queo vì ko ai tưới nước, chăm sóc cả
)Quả thật hôm nay vui vì gặp lại anh em, pà kon trong lớp, lại còn được gặp các chiến sĩ MXH nữa chứ.
Lúc chìu vừa tan ra, thấy tụi nó, la toán lên tay bắt mặt mừng. Tụi nó hay ghê, bày bán sách vở + lồng đèn để gây quỹ tổ chức trung Thu cho các em ở Cà Mau. Thấy mình - trẻ người non dạ - liền dụ dỗ bắt mua quà vở. Mình đâu có mua được, lúc sáng mới mua rùi. Thế là tụi nó đẻ ra í bắt mình mua cho học kì sau. Uh thì mua, gì chứ MXH ý nghĩa như thế này thì Ok liền. Thế mới biết, mua liền 1 chục, sau rùi mới ngộ ra: kì sau mình toàn thực tập có học môn nào đâu
, khửa khửaChiều còn theo tụi nó vào KTX bán cho anh em, buổi tối trong KTX thật sự có nhìu chiện rất vui, đi bán rất hăng, toàn 1 bọn chai mặt (trong đó có cả mìn) - đi MHX về đứa nào cũng mất hẳn đi dây thần kin nhụt mà! Tuy nhiên cái này rất có í nghĩa mà, quyên góp cho trẻ em nghèo chứ lị, phải ko nà?
Hơi mệt thật, nhưng rất vui, mún viết nữa nhưng mệt rùi, phải ngủ thui sắp 12 h rùi bibi pà kon, chúc các bạn một đêm ngon giấc. Bibi...
-----
Ah, chú thích: hình ở trên là trong chiến đi Đà Lạt với anh em MXH, tại Thung lũng vàng.

Free Magazine Giveaway
I'm trying so hard to clean out my studio and pare down the myriad accumulations so I can have room to work. I have one liquor box each of back issues of Threads Magazine and Quilters Newsletter (a few other quilting mags thrown in for good measure) which I would hate to just toss in the trash. I stopped my subscriptions to both a couple of years ago, but I couldn't let go of the accumulated issues until now. I don't have time to inventory them or put them on EBay, so I am offering them to my blog readers for the taking. These are all free to anyone who wants to come pick them up in Decatur, GA. No cherry picking, please take the whole box of either or both magazines. Please email if you are interested. If you are not in the Atlanta area, I would be happy to ship them to you at your expense.
Thank you for reading and for helping me with my studio purge!

Linking Scams
Linking Scams
By Vickie J. Scanlon
If you are contemplating looking at other avenues of linking, or you have been approached by another webmaster that's wants to exchange links, then keep these little tips in the back of your mind. Some have happened to me, and let me say, I was not too pleased.
1. The link on the home page to the link directory remains but when you click on the link you get a template style page with a page with no directory content – or some other site. (Cloaking)
2. Changing the click status of a link – What once was a clickable link, is now replaced with bold type, no hyperlink, and thus, not clickable.
3. Your links exists, and are counted by the Search Engines, but the links are not visible or clickable. No value to you.
4. A request for reciprocal links – when you first exchange the links, your link is placed in a heavy traffic area web page– great exposure. But soon, it is buried in the mass of links in some obscure web page that few, if any visitors visit, or it is deleted.
And their link that you so graciously placed on your site -- is sitting on a page that gives them good ranking and exposure. Their link went from reciprocal to a one-way link. Well, I fell for that one – I can honestly say I was not too happy about it – but as always – I learned.
5. Trading links with a high-ranking site – The site puts your link onto their web page directory with one small hitch, there is no link to the directory on any of the pages, and specifically not on their index page. If visitors cannot get to your link – your linking strategies are down the toilet.
6. Watch out for link exchanges. If they offer to give you 1500 links for a nominal fee, don’t bite -- your site will end up being banned by the Search Engines. Investigate thoroughly before entering into an agreement. More times then not, your link may be placed in an obscure place or deleted.
7. You have created a link with a partner and you did a visual check on the site. Everything looks good. Better check behind the web page at the source. (Right click in the body of the copy, and click on “View Source”. If you see “noindex” in the Meta tags this is telling the Search Engines to ignore the page and the links on the page. If you see “nofollow” in the Meta tags – this tells the Search Engines not to count this page in their Page Ranking. Either case will not help you.
8. Using Meta Tag Masking – allows only the Search Engines the ability to see what is behind the masking. You are clueless as to whether they have allowed your link to be seen by the Search Engine or if it is in fact a “nofollow” or “noindex” page.
9. Your link is constantly being moved from one page to another. So when the Search Engines visit – the relevancy of the link can, and probably will change or, possibly will be ignored completely by the Search Engines. If you link is being moved about, you can figure that the Search Engines will ignore the link.
10. Your link is placed in hodge-podge order – For example: Your site is about Affiliate Marketing, the site listed above you is about Cats and the site listed below is about Cars. – Your link has lost any and all relevancy and is of no value to you in the linking process.
11. The cache page is 6 months old or older– meaning that the web page have not been visited by the Search Engines for a long time – and more than likely will not be visited by the Search Engines in the near future.
These are just some of the linking scams out there. If you are starting a linking program, you should try to keep track of what is going on with your links. My suggestion is to do a search in Google for a “Link Management Software” tool to keep track of your links, or if you feel comfortable working with Excel, place all your links into an Excel spreadsheet.

Adee's Matinee
Adee's Matinee- Signs
In 2005 right after finishing the Change album, Khalil and I were bored with conventional Hip-Hop and decided to record a "side project" that was inspired by the images from 80's movies like The Breakfast Club, Fastimes at Ridgemont High, St. Elmo's Fire, The Last Dragon..etc. The routine was...I would come to the studio with a quarter of the most killer Kush I could find smoke as much of it as possible and write to whatever weird beat Khalil put up. At the same time Khalil was recording with this crazy sexy, but crazy Grace Jones (but waaayyyy better looking), Gwen Stefani, Rihanna type rapper/singer, from long Beach named Jeanine (Jeanisis). After hearing thier stuf together I asked Khalil to see if she would be down to lay vocals on a couple of the "side project ideas" and he thought she would be perfect as well...2 months into it we locked in and completed about 6 songs..the name of the project is Adees Matinee...Starring Jeanisis......

North American Trade Union - SPP
Many of our fans have heard us talk for years about some of the plans to evolve the world into one unit of money, government and worship. Now that we are almost a decade into the new millinneum many of those plans have started and come to pass already. Peep these videos about The North American Trade Union / Security Prosperity Partnership and the plan to unify Mexico, U.S.A., and Canada under one monetary unit called the Amero. The process is has started already. The U.S. government began changing the dollar bills 5 or 6 years ago. People were buggin out that they had "big face" hundreds, amused by the pleasant pastels the government chose to use. In reality, the bills are being turned over to get a better count of paper currency in circulation...couterfeit bills was killing these muthafuckas. May not seem so bad to some of you but, the Union threatens to take away soverignty from the American people, Corporatize Canada, and suck all the blood from the Mexican people all at once.
Peep this canadian piece I found on youtube about the threat of the NATU/SPP from their perspective. Often times people may feel our message is slanted because we speak from a Black perspective, but our art is all encompassing and the things that concern us are not just the problems that plague our community but the human family.

L.L. Cool J - Ringtone Murder feat. Grandmaster Caz
I study styles and this brother happens to be a master of many. First of all L.L. came into the game with the same type of ferocious energy that people praise cats like 50 Cent for. Back in the days, it was part of the game for Emcees to strive to take a another Emcees title...L.L. calimed to be the "new Grandmaster", which meant he was automatically shooting for [Grandmaster] Caz and Melle Mel's head. That wouldn't have been a problem if Caz and Mel weren't considered the illest, lyrical emcees in the game. I was younger when L.L. came out, so naturally I gravitated towards L.L. and his claims of being the "new Grandmaster" cause I was probably too young to fully understand the impact Caz and Mel had in the game then...I just liked L.L.'s style, energy, and chains. L.L. seemed more realistic to me, I could identify with the Turkish ropes, sweatsuits and Troops, and although he was lyrical as hell with a great voice, Mel was still on some Afrika Bambataa costume shit...I digress, my point is, even though I have been highly influenced by the styles and art of L.L. Cook J as an artist...there have been times when I wrote him off. You know, just mentally deemed him incapable of recovering from self-inflicted fatal blows. Anybody remember when L flipped his hat style and started rocking the leather Doctor Seuss shit?...I wrote him off then but the nigga came with Boomin System and you had to roll with him,. Well he did it again...I swore I would never fuck with his music again. I would rather respectfully remember the glory years when his releases actually had an impact on the landscape...I considered him in the Will Smith category...you know, niggaz too rich, and credible to judge based on current behavior...but he did it AGAIN with CAZ!!! even the title is dope.....Ringtone Murder...maked me wanna go ERRRRRAH!!!! L on his old battle flow......very few emceed like this left.
