Dis is Dedicated to the Bloggers... Not all, but some.

They sit there watchin on the side lines
Not even known if they ass was on the line
Could they make it out in time?
So quick to criticize
Yet they never realize
That the story’s different
Every single every time
You just Mind your business
And I’ll mind mine.

They just wanna site there on the sidelines
And criticze
Media got them mesmerized
Can’t keep track of what’s happening in they own lives.
Don’t know which way to go
Cause they’ve been filled up with lies
No discernment.
And it’s urgent that this madness cease
Until folks deal with the real
There won’t be no justice or no peace.

Changin' The Format for '09

Something about my whole internet swag is going to change very soon.
In time to ring in the '09.

In fact, a lot of things.

I needs these blogs to be journal spaces and sounding boards so i'm going to stop pretending to be addressing my hordes of followers on twitter and get down and dirty with this branding business.

I need a place to be dream self.
More brainstorming. Less performing.

Besides boomthreads was never really meant for public consumption and appealing to the lowest common denominator.

so all that to say, many things are changing.

if you are looking for the lasted trendy bandwagon to hop on board, you're gonna have to look somewhere else b/c ogechi never was and never will be about that.

if you are looking for bonafide soulful connection and creative experience, we will be bringing more of that. it's multi-media, baby.

soooo, i will henceforth be merging boomthreads.blogspot.com with therealogechi.blogspot dot com underneath a new heading which will be ogechi.blogspot.com if i can get that domain...

hold a min.
let me try.

Peace!

A novel idea, eh?
When can we start doing stuff like this in America?

The elders are also involved.

Even the light skinned brothers get in on the action. ;-) Clearly for the people.

They always get the girl...

Organization. Power.

Rites of Passage.

Gangasta body art.

Um.. I'm really not mad at this.

My auntie gave me this wonderful album as a teen and introduced me to this revolutionary concept via classic Brazilian music. Highly recommended.

This is the late Clara Nunes singing "Ijexa" celebrating the group. Enjoy :-)
