But when you talk about what I do and don't know, then I have no choice to assume that you speak out of ignorance. This is not real beef so on the real, I have no problem with you.

First of all, I never de...@Omi: Dude, this is old. First of all, I never denied that I said you could reach me...that is very blatantly written in my statement. But whereas you take reach me to some far-fetched meaning, you can "reach" me on my cell or you can "reach" me at my e-mail address. So dude, you need some time to just sit and chill on that. Everyone doesn't use "reach" in the same sense that you do, perhaps...<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I made the comment about internet beefs by saying that I don't do them either. So I really don't see where the misunderstanding is in that. If we both don't do them, then what exactly is this about?<BR/><BR/>I don't have to admit shit. You have quoted me and I have not contradicted myself. You keep throwing stuff out there, but I am not deny what you are saying. So what exactly are you trying to prove? <BR/><BR/>Just as I said, I didn't come on HC's site putting @Omi because I was trying to beat you up. I put that because I was directly responding to you and not just making a general comment in the comments section. So, in order for you to know that I was speaking to you, I put @Omi...simple as that. Don't question what my intention was because you don't know it. Very plain as day, I wrote the words "us" in my statement, showing that I was being all-inclusive as well as generalizing...<BR/><BR/>This is very pointless at this point. I clarified myself to you...either you are going to accept it or not. I do apologize to HC for blowing up his blog like this...my bad, dude. As for you, no apologies are forthcoming because I don't owe them to you. You want to go around pointing fingers and then talking about people that you know and who you are talking to in order to do this and that. That is irrelevant. Granted, I made a generalizing statement, it was for the purpose of making us come to a realization rather than arguing about who is doing what. I don't have to quote for you what I am doing and what I am not doing because it is not for your benefit that I am doing it. So, I will drop it because this is someone else's blog that I am disrespecting with all of this. If you want to "reach" me (and I say this how I meant it and not how you take it), then let me know. Otherwise, you need to drop this fake beef because it really isn't worth the time it takes to write it...Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375129935248659718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1126050139920755732005-09-06T16:42:00.000-07:002005-09-06T16:42:00.000-07:00@MaverickHonestly, you need to re-read your statem...@Maverick<BR/><BR/>Honestly, you need to re-read your statements and then re-read mine. I never said to reach me anywhere, you did. <BR/><BR/>I never said anything about internet beefs FIRSt, you did. All i did was say that I don't do them. <BR/><BR/>TWICE, you have not addressed ANY of the issues I discussed in each of my comments and YOU have not answered the questions i asked you in the my second comment. <BR/><BR/>Come on dude. admit it, YOU got personal when you put my name at the beginning of your comment. I was only defending my position. I expect ANYONE to do the same if i put their name at the beginning of a comment and pretty much question his or her integrity or work. I don't understand how you can do that and then ask the person you offend to "admit" one thing or another. I also can't see how you can place my name at the top of your comment and then say that you were making a general statement towards everyone instead of "anyone." <BR/><BR/>Here is the kicker, YOU SAID "So...big homie...if you have anymore beef to take up with me, let me know and I can give you a place to reach me. Just as bad as people who do this anonymous posting is people beefing over the internet...once again, you don't know me either..." <BR/><BR/>then you said "As far as meeting somewhere and what not, it is not that serious. I said you can "reach" me...if you wanted to discuss it, I have e-mail...I have a phone. If it was something else, then it could have been something else. But whatever it was, it would be on you and how you approached the situation."<BR/><BR/>I think someone else needs to do some "admitting" and apologizing. <BR/><BR/>the only person I need to apologize or admit anything to is Humanity Critic because I am on HIS blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1126049179394200622005-09-06T16:26:00.000-07:002005-09-06T16:26:00.000-07:00great post & thanks for checking out my blog. alo...great post & thanks for checking out my blog. along the lines of kanye's rant against dubya, did you hear what diddy said about katrina?

Hell, this is one of the most truthful ON THE NET. I'm angry at myself for being so naive; thinking that black americans (you know we get the lowercase "A") who vote the wrong way would be taken care of. None of those people were considered. When I was watching the news 72 hours before Katrina made landfall I kept repeating aloud, "What are the poor, elderly, and disabled going to do? I haven't heard evacuation plans for them." <BR/><BR/>Now all of a sudden, people are surprised? This tragedy shouldn't have become this bad. All those buses, helicopters, etc. should have responded as soon as meteorologists said, "This is going to be the worst storm this area has ever seen, and chances are that people who remain will die." They didn't even stay through the storm's initial landfall.<BR/><BR/>With such a bleak prognosis, I was naive enough to think people would do their jobs. Come on! FEMA? The National Guard is in Iraq! Fire fighters and transit authority officials are doing the Guard's job. The president has reduced the funding every year for New Orleans' levee system.... and we're surprised?<BR/><BR/>I'm so angry I'm still crying. I hope your friend is okay. I heard from one of my friends and almost broke something when she told me what she went through.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002891733873540805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1126041620995423482005-09-06T14:20:00.000-07:002005-09-06T14:20:00.000-07:00@Omi: I put @Omi, not because I was attacking you,...@Omi: I put @Omi, not because I was attacking you, but rather because I was commenting on things that were written in your comments. I did that because HC has a huge following and to really know who anyone is speaking to, you have to do that...so I wasn't coming at you like, "Brother Omi ain't doing shit." In fact, I said "...but what are alot of 'us' doing...nothing," which is not directly pointed at anyone. So you felt the need to personalize the comment on your own...<BR/><BR/>As far as meeting somewhere and what not, it is not that serious. I said you can "reach" me...if you wanted to discuss it, I have e-mail...I have a phone. If it was something else, then it could have been something else. But whatever it was, it would be on you and how you approached the situation. So you might need to chill out and just take my statements like I am taking your statements. I may have missed something in what you wrote...tensions are high right now. But you are evidently missing something too...be big enough to admit that. And the whole tooting your horn thing...chill with that too. Because while you are planning all of that stuff, people are still dying...as you and I are talking.

First of all, I didn't come at you. I just said that I didn't feel the blame fell as much on the mayor as it did on the federal government, which it doesn't. Then yes, it takes money to maintain a levy (sp??), but that money is not funded in majority by local funds. And don't come at me with what you think I know and don't know, because just like you said, you don't know me...<BR/><BR/>You want to get on the defensive about what you and your capoeira club are doing, but I never said you yourself were doing or not doing. My statement was a general statement about the blame that is being placed all over, and it was not directed at you in particular. I am clarifying that with you, but don't approach me on some internet beef shit because I am not for it. You may have read my blog, but I didn't place blame on the mayor anywhere in there.
