Never gonna change" ~Ashanti

I've been on the apartment search looking for a reasonable yet affordable place to move into. I know I've mentioned moving before but this time I'm serious ... "The Case Of the Shiftless Negros," has much to do with me moving out and getting my own place.

Your probably wondering who the Shiftless Negros are and what they have done to be coined the Shiftless Negros in the first place. I think we've all stumbled across Shiftless Negros who don't want anything out of life ... They sit around waiting on someone to hand things to them. They always seem to come up with some type of excuse as to why they haven't done anything with their life. In my case the Shiftless Negros happen to be my brother and our cousin. All they do is sleep all day and try to live the life of a rapper. At times it's funny to see them 'work.' My brother sleeps until 11am only to get up to play video games (This morning it was Grand Theft Auto) or make beats on this keyboard sitting across the way. Since he lost his house keys I'm forced out of my bed at 2am in the morning to open the door for him. He's gotten comfortable with doing nothing all day. Maybe I'm been too hard on the brotha ... But it irks the hell out of me!

I just finished paying a $253 telephone bill and no one seem to know who was making telephone calls throughout the state of California. The car insurance went up because my brother continues to get tickets and he has no worries because he's not paying for the insurance ... I am. It's never really concerns the next people when they don't have to pay for something out of their wallet.

I could go on and on about my brother ... but I'll stop there. All and all he's shiftless -- and he knows it because I've told him numerous times. I talked with my father the other day and during the conversation he made the following statement, " ... and don't say "Like Father, Like Son." I had to laugh when I heard him say that because I didn't have to say it .... He had beaten me to it.

I know I'm a little late to be reviewing the Grammy's, but I feel I must. Was I the only one who caught Mary's singing "No More Drama?" I felt every last word that came out of Mary's mouth ... I think I'll stop there with my critique of the Grammy's because I could go on and on.

Alright ... I'm Gone
