{Thoughts}Child Star Turned Rapper, Orlando Brown’s F*ck My Fame

Well, well, well…what the hell is going on here? We have new music from child star Orlando Brown entitled Fuck My Fame. For those of you unfamiliar, Brown was a child actor in the 90’s starring in many movies and more recently the Disney Channel tv series That’s So Raven, opposite Raven Symone. I’ve read the recent claims that Brown has gone off the deep end (as many child stars do) getting locked up, drugging out and making claims about his sexcapades with other child stars (no shade). In any event, I can’t help but wonder what the hell is going on with child stars REALLY? Are they trying to shake the squeeky clean child image? Are they bored with all that money? Are the just people trying to be people and express themselves? As a functioning member of a non-child star society, and a regular Joe, I’ve noticed that ALL regular Joes have an opinion on what happens when you are in the limelight at such a young age etc etc. The fact still remains that our opinions, no matter how well articulated are just that…OPINIONS. I am not the person willing to sit down and execute hours of research and case studies as to why people do what they do…rich or not. Kudos to those who give that many fucks. In any event, for the sake of this blog being free, clear, and open minded, I wanted to give Brown’s single Fuck My Fame an unbiased listen…and it ACTUALLY isn’t bad. Could just be me, but I’m all for individuality and deep end madness too. *shrug* Check out the video and lend me your thoughts.

If You’re Reading This, It’s too Damn Early

Happy New Year, Folks! Another year is gone by and the celebration is almost over. I just had a birthday and joined the arthritis club for seniors. In any event, while celebrating the New Year/Birthday I saw a boat load of problems unfold for people while enjoying their alcohol. I saw a guy get hit by a car.I tried to defuse a domestic dispute that could have been deadly. I saw people going to jail for fighting and I tried to remain calm while dealing with a drunk friend who wanted to drive.

If you are reading this, it’s too damn early.

We are in the 9 o’clock hour. I didn’t get to bed until 3am this morning, but I’m already awake. I can’t help but wonder…isn’t it too damn early in the year to be in jail, dead, or under someone’s parked car? Is it too damn early for me to give the side eye to the upcoming events of this year?

Happy New Year to everyone who is up early and plotting how 2016 is going to be even more awesome than 2015.

Thanks to The Sun

What’s the plan big Man?
Alone I journey familiar streets
The birds see me, the trees know me well
I tried to put sunglasses on
I hate walking by myself
Loneliness is all around
But I’m never by myself
The sun is always shining,even
when it’s hiding
Who needs a reason to frown?
The seasons are due to change
Any day now
Just waiting for the leaves to fall
