Catch Me On DigiWaxx.com

blog.digiwaxxmedia.com

A site that I respect & often refer Artists & DJs to be apart of, has graced me with the opportunity to post all over their site - YaY!

www.digiwaxx.com was introduced to me by Acie High, a local Houston Rapper (also UPN the Player winner and Brother of Acie Law of the Hawks) back in 2007 when I took on the position of doing Marketing for his Camp. I was highly impressed with the connections and feedback I would get back from DJs in the US & overseas. I can honestly say I am a TRUTHFUL testimony of the site and its MULTIPLE services and I am excited to have the opportunity to share my two cents.

What to expect:

Exclusive interviews
Tips
Music Reviews
Artist Shine....etc

Mr. Funny Man

Last Saturday night I get a phone call from my buddy, Wil Sylvince, he informs me that he was "near" my city the other day.

CaT: Oh, you were in Dallas, cool?
Wil: No, I said near your city, not in it. I was in Houston.
CaT: Wil, I STAY IN HOUSTON!!
Wil: Oh, yeah, I had a show out there on Tuesday.
CaT: *screams* WTF?? A SHOW WHERE?!
Wil: Bam Bou with Ali
CaT: *screams* WIL!! you're lying? I go to Bam Bou, was just there for Ali's bday last week. WHAT!?!?
Wil: I'm sorry, I thought you were in Dallas still

So yea, I was HOT!! Even more of a slap in the face is I called Ali in May & tried to work on getting Wil out here - SO HE AND HIS MANAGER KNOW I FUCKS W/ HIM!! Okay, I'm clam! :) I still love me some, Wil! I don't know how I came across this video on YouTube today, of him, but gosh he is funny :) LOL @ "You can't even write your writing!"



In case you missed him in Feb after Super Bowl on Def Comedy Jam - here he is!

CathrynMarie - More Than Just a Cute Smile

The other day I made a comment stating that I was blessed to have grown up in such a liberal and culture filled city such as Berkeley, California. I grew up around naked people, gays, goths, homeless persons, skate boarders, Whites, Blacks, Filipinos, Asians, etc. I grew up learning that you accept people as they are and not to judge them. Not to mention I went to the only school in the Nation with a complete African American studies department, Berkeley High School. Yes, I took Ki Swahili as my language of choice, African Haitian Dance, Black History, Black Male & Female Relationships and a host of other non conventional classes. It was also the place that I learned that our very FIRST President of the United States was NOT George Washington but was John Hanson and he was indeed an African American aka OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT.

Over the course of this recent election process I have not shared the same joy most African Americans have - mainly because I didn't allow myself to get caught up in the hype of selecting him as my President because we had the same skin color. I already had it set in my mind that whom ever became the Dem nom that is who I was voting for - by my being open minded and not "taking sides" I never once bad mouthed any of the candidates, instead I listened to what each person had to say and know that majority of their issues were the same (mainly speaking of Hil & Obama). My enjoyment came from watching young African Americans race to get registered for the 1st time (with a slight disappointment) as well as older people voting for their first time. I may not have agreed with their reasons but I encourage them for taking advantage of their right to vote.

Tuesday night I made a few comments about getting text messages up the ass about Obama winning - NO SHIT SHERLOCK! I guess my "tone" was a bite much (lol, I was typing!) and someone questioned my being an Obama supporter or not. Truth is, I am HAPPY & very much OVERJOYED that we have a Black man in office BUT for reasons that our African American youth being able to grow up in a time where they can learn that dreams do come true & hopefully we can get them back on the right path. My 10 year old son has a positive role model that I encourage, instead of Dwayne Wade. I actually wrote this a couple of hours before watching The View on Wednesday and I must say - Sherri took the words right out of my mouth:


Now back to my getting blocked on Twitter:

@BossBeauty i jus blocked cathrynmarie because clearly she isn't clued in on the significance of tonight.. I cant stand ppl who dont support Obama!!

SERIOUSLY? Because I have my own opinion and thoughts, was never disrespectful or say said anything about my not being happy for him, I get blocked? Nott hat I care, I just found it funny. I'm not going to lie, the night of election people started bringing KiTTeE out via Twitter - I don't think the world is ready for KiTTeE. Cathryn Marie is nice and wholesome, leave me alone and enjoy it. Oh and FOR THE RECORD! I personally MYSELF went through and blocked baby girl - I had to go through TOO many followers to find her and remove her from following me; don't take my shine, Becky! I actually have no beef w/ Lil Mama - she's just a bit too negative for me - always snapping at someone or blocking someone if they don't agree with her. She needs some Berkeley in her life!

MrMarcusX: @CathrynMarie What makes you ashamed of being Black?!!! Self hatred is a disease. Seek nearest psycho ward.

That comment came after a joke shared w/ me and Cristal about my voting for Hillary! Even if I were a stand up Hil supporter - I'm less black because of it? Come on now - he actually got under my skin & I had to share a few choice of words with him. People are so judgemental and its SAD; I was BLESSED to grow up in Berkeley, Cali.

As I said earlier, my overall joy of this whole election experience are the numbers - people actually caring enough to go out and vote. I know I probably had people wondering where I stood with Obama, let me put your mind at ease NOW! I oversaw and put together, not one, not two, not three, but FOUR voter registration rallies at the mall I work for - yes, IN CHARGE! I kept it fair and contacted volunteers with each campaign but overall, I have done a lot of things with Houston for Obama. I've had so many Politicians at my shop throughout this whole experience - from DC to Cali to TX. They not only educated others on views of the party they supported but also encouraged voting in general. At one point, my shop sold, Born To Lead Obama shirts. Lets not even get on my SINGLE HANDED LY attempting to put together charter buses that would take people from the mall to poll locations on the 4th, something I contacted Houston for Obama about.

I make jokes and talk ish but it's who I am and because it was a NO BRAINIER to me. Why do I have to be all voice-ful on telling people to vote for Obama if they weren't even registered. How about start at point (a) and work yourself to (b) - in which I have done. It's the same way I constantly encourage people to get tested for HIV - as heavy as I am speaking on it, people assume I have HIV. NO DUMB ASS! Hell, I don't even know any one with HIV (to my knowledge). I took the education my BERKELEY High School nurse, Jacqueline (aka Jazzi JK aka Auntie Jazzi), instilled within me and felt it was worth encouraging others to know. It's not cool to be out here having sex all freely and not know if you have something. I get people are too scared to know, but its best to know than not to. I am tested a lot but majority of the time I am being a supportive friend to a first timer or some one nervous. It's funny how everyone through the course of the past 2 weeks got really excited about voting, their reaction reminds me of people who get a negitive HIV result back - it's easy to see that it was hteir first time. The question is why?

The guys over at Tomwars.com posted this link ww.inspot.org "It’s a site that helps you notify past sexual partners that you contracted an STD and they themselves might be in danger of being infected so they should get tested ASAP. The notification isn’t by telephone or by a face to face meeting on neutral ground. It’s by email."

Now that you've voted - it's time to get tested! Even if you strap up on a regular, remember it's not 100%. Accidents happen - I can honestly speak from experience, RECENT experience. Condom broke, morning after pill failed and got pregnant - nothing is 100%. - www.hivtest.org for more info.

"Tell Em Why You Mad, Son" Day

I must say - Twitter has been kind of off of the hook this weekend with a lot of angry twitts! Ninja is just MAD! Although the back and forth bickering has been entertaining - its also disturbing!

I'm a believer that blogger, writing, etc heals the soul - reading over your thoughts sometimes clears your head and can be refreshing. I'd like to suggest that you guys join me tomorrow and post a "Tell Em why You Mad, Son" post! It's time for a clean slate - Obama will be selected into office and his whole campaign has been about CHANGE and HOPE, well I think it should start at home. Let that anger go and think about the new changes that are ahead with a clear head!

Its just a suggestion - I know today I read some things personally that made me mad and I was going to do a ramblings blog but after reading everyone's reaction behind Shakir's passing and not to mention being upset with J Hud's recent situation, we have gone through an emotional roller coaster. When folks go through something traumatic it is always suggested that Counseling is administrated. Be your own counselor and learn why you're so mad.

*disclaimer I know it should be "Tell Em Why YOU'RE MAD SON - for your proper English readers, but I'm just keepin up with the slang :)*

Just Vote!

This morning I was watching "The View" and Sherri Shepard announced that she was still undecided. I was on twitter and posted said information - lets just say that the replies were something else.

duriechee @CathrynMarie Umm...is Sherri still black?

TheJennTaFur @CathrynMarie WHAT? I do not value her opinion at all but that really is surprising to me that there are still people who are undecided =(

mdsteelergal @cathrynmarie Ok, plz don't tell me that. I mean, I know this is petty, but her non-decisiveness is about to make me chg my VIEW of her! :-)

mdsteelergal @cathrynmarie I mean really. What more is there to know? Do you want to stay where we are, or move forward? Progression, not recession.

The replies above suggest that being a black woman, Sherri shouldn't be undecided & should just KNOW who to vote for. The last two are pretty wide open - suggesting possibly with only days left she should have some idea - which I can agree with. I do not however agree with everyone assuming every black person should be voting for Obama. It urks me that people talk to me like Obama is who I should be voting for - its like being in high school and having that peer pressure. (Please see SHERRI SHEPHERD IS THE DUMBEST BLACK WOMAN ON EARTH)

EyanJ @CathrynMarie i'm still undecided too

JDakar @CathrynMarie She's not the only one

I was someone who wasn't feelin Obama mainly because of this bull crap Robin Hood theory he has; take from the rich, give to the poor. Come on now - how does that show UNITY & HOPE? Obama "fans" say "the tax increase will only affect the upper class" - I live in a city where EVERYONE is tryin to GET IT. Everyone is in "the industry" - say you become that Puffy or that Jay Z - you worked your ass off to get there and now its taken away from you. People aren't thinking about his theories & what he is trying to do because he is some type of Rock Star. None of that money is going to you lower class people - yes YOU (lol).

TheflyGirl @rahiemshabazz Martin, Malcom, Rosa, Medger, Emmitt, Harriett, Nat, Thurgood, Sydney, Jackie...Enough reasons for you

Really? What in the hell has Obama done to put him in the category as these people? Hell, Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton have fought for African American rights more than Obama has - what has he given back besides run for office? The people listed above were not politicians, they are people who have fought for black people. Obama's Robin Hood theory is NOT catering to any of the lower class - a class most of the people listed above took a stand for. *blink*

Ben Stein said it BEST last night while on Craig Ferguson show


I know I probably piss people off with my thinking - oh well. I mean, when it comes down to it I submitted by vote last Thursday (did I mention I voted along side Shane Battier of the Houston Rockets *woop*) & it was straight Democrat - I'm not rich, so its what I am. My boss, a lady who is very well in the upper class, stated that she was voting for Obama because she didn't want to be the one vote who didn't vote for the black man - this was stated after I asked her if she were worried about being taxed up the ass by the man who is Senator to the State w/ the highest tax (10.25%).

sugarlips I don't buy this "undecided voter" B.S. I think people are just afraid to voice their true opinion.

CathrynMarie @sugarlips I totally agree w/ that. the ? if who r u voting 4 is too public now & its pressure if ure not rollin w/ "majority"

sugarlips @CathrynMarie exactly. I think it's the answer to avoid the debate, cuz ppl can't keep their mouth shut

CathrynMarie @sugarlips very tru. Im tellin u, we grew up n an era when you nvr asked a woman her age or asked who someone is voting for. lmao

It's just days left to cast your vote, if you haven't already, don't let majority or pressure be your deciding factor. I am COMPLETELY proud of the change Obama has ignited thus far - rather it be people voting for the first time to vote him in or out, it is indeed a great accomplishment alone. McCain actually all that bad, I don't think he plans to be EXACTLY like Bush, but he may favor some likeness. He is placed in that box because he's a Republican and we were screwed by a Republican for 8 years.

Everyone says it, but I don't think they MEAN it - so I'm going to say it and MEAN it! WHOM EVER YOU VOTE FOR, IT DOESN'T MATTER! Just continue to keep this momentum going and get out there and vote. Don't let someone else get in your head and decide for you.

Defsounds God damn it, Why does everyone I meet think they're an Obama Campaign expert. STFU about it already <== that ish is sooo true, LOL.

Most of ya'll are "Joe The Plumber's" Stop frontin!


LOL @ Joe being a no show 2 the McCain rally today - had John lookin an ass.

“Joe’s with us today. Joe, where are you?” McCain called the into the crowd, “Where’s Joe? Is Joe here with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today (pause) All right, well, you’re all Joe the plumber, so all of you stand up and say – I thank you" - John McCain - source
