Daily Wisdom

I receive Daily Muslim Wisdom and I decided to share this daily wisdom with you all, I really feel the words...hopefully this will open up your eyes & soul, for each day is a new day to become a better YOU!

Water said to the defiled, "Hurry come to me."

The defiled replied, "But I feel ashamed before the water."

Water said, "But without me how will you wash your shame? How will your filth be removed?"

Shame hinders the faith of the tainted who hide from the water.

Shady Business + Imposter = Exposed

J’Adore Magazine reached out to a few folks in the industry, myself included to relay a sincere word of caution regarding a malicious individual who has been repeatedly misrepresenting the J’Adore Magazine brand and reputation.

This fraud is a young man by the name of Zakee Boyd, also known in many circles as “Jesus”– especially among the women he comes in contact with during his weekly escapades at popular nightspots including Dreamz, Pure, Esso’s, Magic City and other popular venues.

After repeated warnings directly from J’Adore’s upper management, Mr. Boyd continues to insist on using our publication for personal gain. Because of his sustained deceit, there is now the urgency to alert the public of this imposter who is benefiting from the hard years of work we have put in to make J’Adore what it is.In the span of the last few months, J’Adore Magazine’s staff has received numerous complaints and reports about his misconduct and misrepresentation. Boyd’s tactics include false representation that he is the CEO, Vice President and/or photographer for J’Adore Magazine and promises businesses and individuals concessions and coverage in the publication in order to gain VIP access, special treatment, perks and other sources of personal gain. Boyd also approaches aspiring models in these venues with false promises of J’Adore exposure, leading to personal visits and impromptu photo shoots. This, of course, is the most dangerous of all of the scenarios and should be taken very seriously.

To be clear, Zakee Boyd was briefly involved with J’Adore Magazine as a source of promotions for J’Adore. His role with J’Adore was quickly canceled after we received several repeated reports of the aforementioned unscrupulous activities.

Ultimately, Zakee Boyd, under absolutely any circumstances, should not be taken seriously as a member of J’Adore Magazine or party of any other reputable business related to the publication. If the J’Adore staff learns that he continues to gain perks under false pretenses immediate legal action will be the results.

Walk of Shame...Keep your head up!

Walk Of Shame Kit

Don't front brotha's in your prickish youth, Saturday morning meant waking up next to a complete stranger in a cold sweat, before shuffling her out the window without so much as an Egg McMuffin. Now that you're a sensitive adult...do the same! But also, give her a Walk of Shame Kit.

I'm sitting her smh because "We" women knows this funny and we know a queen that has took this "Walk". If you didn't value my words in the past as you were leaving out the door I often mentioned to create or grab your "T-Bag"! It's vital...just ask the "real" homies who are nicknamed: Bully, JGD, Heez, Gabby, Indian Goddess,Tybo, Kei, Baby-D and even Drunk Jae lol..I should have created this 1st! ALL of YOU know I have encouraged you to never leave home with out your

"T-Bag"...If your wondering what a T-Bag is, just take 1 guess in the comment section...

Developed by a former owner of SoBe's Automatic Slim's (origin of countless shameful walks), this Foster's oil can-sized kit is compact enough to stash bedside, and contains everything last night's lucky lady needs for a semi-dignified walk home, so thoughtful, it'll compensate for the fact that you were a selfish and brief lover. So she can at least project outward pride to conceal her hungover, rotting heart, the kit packs a 100% cotton OSFM (one-size-fits-most) coverall dress that implies she might have just left the spa, massive full-coverage sunglasses to hide bloodshot

eyes/streaked makeup, and flip flops, so each click of her stilettos on the sidewalk doesn't scream harlotry disgrace. All her clothes you flung around the room can be cinched up in the provided drawstring backpack, which also includes hypo-allergenic wipes for her face and “down there”, and a pre-pasted toothbrush -- if you were well-adjusted enough to be comfortable sharing a toothbrush, you wouldn't be kicking her out in the first place.

To enhance your chivalric cred, a portion of each Kit's proceeds are donated to a breast cancer foundation, and as a postscript to your one-night-story, the kit also contains a Call/Don't Call card, which, depending upon the side left upturned on your nightstand, will make very apparent whether or not your next date means McNuggets. I'm so done lol, I have missed another opportunity & this dude has took my idea.
To be a real gentleman, order a bunch of kits at WalkOfShameKit.com

Rowdy Collection

Rowdy Collection

Available at: The Rowdy Store 784-B North Highland Ave. NE., Atlanta, GA 30306 404.853.3274

From ATL's Dallas Austin (produced Madonna, TLC, Kim From Real Housewives Atlanta =) and Boys II Men), Rowdy's new stuff covers a fuller range of wardrobe needs, maintaining the brand's militant-punk spirit but dialing back its former motley-colored stridence. New torso-wear includes the short-sleeved, surprisingly nightlife-friendly Military Shirt (dusky black, w/ embroidered starred chest pockets), the polar brigade-style Shirt Jacket (white, w/ gold zip, pocketed sleeves, and riotous b&w collage lining), and tees like the black & platinum, ransom note-styled "War, Peace, Rowdy", "Rowdy in the U.S.A." (winged logo, lightning bolts as US flag stripes), and "War Is(nt) Over", with the "nt" spray-painted on, just as it is on Dennis Kucinich's garage door. There's also modestly edgy bottom-wear: the Canvas Jean denim, with leather backside lightning bolts and gold bolt chain accessory; Scottish Plaid Shorts w/ leather star patches on back pockets; and the Boxing Canvas Bathing Suit (white, with thick black outline and black bolt on right leg bottom) -- styled as boxing trunks, much better than your Julio Speedo Chavez getup.

12 Years ago 2day

I wasn't going to blog about The Late Notorious BIG because, for 1 I already posted a comment on the THEflyGIRL's site paying respect and every blog, hip-hop site, social network & underground following will make sure to let it be known that on this day March 9, 1997 Biggie was gunned down by an "Unknown Assailant".

I had a change of mind, as I was ending my night on twitter Diddy aka Sean Combs aka P Twitty updated this:

iamdiddy Couldn't sleep I'm driving down sunset blasting Life after Death! Feels sureal This is my 1st year in la on march 9th since 97 Miss u ...

Despite the spelling of surreal being incorrect, despite that may be one of P Twitty's assistants updating his twitter; I had a brief moment of sadness come over me as I re-read his twit. I live by the Peterson & I pass it daily cruising or walking down Wilshire. I have had those moments mashing the streets of L.A. with the sun roof open & 94.7 The Wave was playing a smooth ballad and my memories along with my emotions came front in center. So I am leaving you with my most memorable BIGGIE lyrics that made me smh & say, "Did he really just say that!"

"Pardon my french, but sometimes I get kinda PEEVED at THESE weak MC's!!"

'lyrically I'm supposed to represent, I'm not only the client, I'm the player president"

"Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns, As I crush so-called willies, thugs, and rapper-dons"

'I had the master plan, I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland, With my man Tutex to take over this projects, They call him Tutex, he tote two techs, And when he starts to bust, He likes to ask who's next?"

"So don't you get suspicious, I'm Big Dangerous you're just a Lil Vicious"

"I spit phrases that'll thrill you, You're nobody 'til somebody kills you"



Back to reality, he was killed...he was somebody, he was a son, a husband & a father of 2...The people who are behind the murders of Biggie & Pac changed history, messed up families & ruined Hip-Hop...your wack.
