♫ How’s It Goin’ Down – DMX http://lala.com/zCSxI

Maaaan, this reminds me of the late 90’s, summers in New York, when it got hot, muggy, and nasty after a short afternoon shower up on the Hill (up in Harlem with my Dad for Harlem week), but the honey’s were so fly with attitude…

[Chorus:]

“All I want is you, all I want” [Background]

What type of games is being played, how’s it going down?
If it’s on till it’s gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what, they gon try to give me a nutt
Just honeys wanna give me the butt, wha..

What I learned…

Sunday evenings will now be titled, What I learned Sundays, recapping the prior weeks events etc. This week’s entry, will be the last two weeks.

– Went to do karaoke for my girl Kat’s birthday, unfortunately didn’t get to do my song I signed up for, ran out of time.
– Did I mention it was “Yo Karaoke” at Pal’s Lounge and Joi Gilliam (your favorite singer’s favorite singer), my favorite female artist of all time was there…I even got a hug!!!
– I re- learned…common knowledge…that although their computers are garbage, Apple peripherals (not the moronic iPad) are the hottest guilty pleasures (iPod, iPhone).
– Google Maps on the iPhone is the $H!T!!!

With an apple for my teacher cause I knew Id get a kiss
Always got mad when the class was dismissed
But when it was in session, I always had a question
