Hidey ho my fellow abnormals!!!......I hope you all are doing and feeling good this Wednesday afternoon…..I have been sleepy since my arrival to Earth this morning……I partied very hard last night…maybe too hard for a Tuesday night…nonetheless, I am alive and kicking…with only a few hours left in my work day……..
Been noticing a few things…..if you know me, you know I notice a lot of things…..but that’s a different angle…..there is a war going on outside that no one is safe from…..its an epidemic far worse than disease and is much more detrimental the younger you are…..my friends, I present to you….JEALOUSY……..
Last night I went to the club for a gala event…..and it was poppin!!......I really enjoyed myself…..during the night I notice two groups chant battling as the music played….it was cool....I know both acts rather well…and I figured it was pretty harmless advertising….well one of the groups got on stage and had a pretty awesome show…during their performance, the other group continue with the chanting…..now, in my opinion, I did feel this was disrespectful…give them the floor and shut up….but I didn’t say anything……after said group got off stage, an argument ensued…….why you may ask?...well one of the members of the group not performing felt that the group performing was talking about them……he swore it was freestyle…..I couldn’t help but laugh…….in the mist of his rant, he stated though, that “ they think they all that anyway!!”…….how does he know….and furthermore, why does he care??.........at the end of the day, unnecessary pepper spray, people being kicked out the club, And a group not being able to perform was the result……all because of…………
My homeboy met this girl AT THE CLUB…….they have been talking for about two months and everything was going well…….one day, he explains, he tells her his displeasure for her going out on the weekends with her female friends…….even though he works most evenings……..this put a strain on their relationship……well one Friday, she tells him that she was going out and he decides to take off work……he goes to the club before she gets there and finds a place to scope her every move……she walks in the club and proceeds to have a great time…..while at the bar, a guy approaches her….they laugh and my friend is pissed……for 5 minutes, he stares at her talking to this guy and enjoying his company….he cant take it anymore…..he bull rushes over there and proceeds to grab her wrist…..the other guy at the bar spins him around and hits him so hard he wish he was a pillow……….he falls to the ground, security comes to escort him out and he screams that she is “a bunch of curse words”…….later on, he finds out that was her brother…….got his ass whooped all because of…………………..
Man been working at the same job for 10 years…his best friend at the workplace has been there 5…..most days, they go to lunch together, sit by each other and knows each others family well……the guy that has been there for 10 years reads that there is an opening for a higher ranking position at the job…so he applies…..he tells his friend to apply as well….better percentage I assume……well, the friend gets the job……and the 10 year vet is fuming……he feels in his heart he has more credentials, more experience, and is a better worker……..the relationship strained, one day he flies off the handle at work and every minute thing that has happened in their relationship is exposed…….the whole company is shocked at what they are hearing…because he did it in front of everybody…..while online looking for a new job, the 10 year vet realizes he lost his occupation all because of……………………….
And these are some instances…don’t get it wrong….a lot of times I think we miss our blessings because we are too worried about others…..I learned a long time ago that when you see someone getting blessed, thank God……that means he is still in that line of work…….but what do we do?...we get upset and find ways and reasons to bring each other down…….our minds are so messed up, we will do what we can to spoil a mood if it is not beneficial to us…….arguing before our mate goes out or has something important to do……not supporting each other…….hearing and not listening…..a total lack of care for mankind…..praying for downfalls……..there are many ways we are jealous of others…and many ways we don’t realize we are acting jealous…..as great as life is; its not that serious people….lets worry only about our own progression and encourage others…….life isn’t a competition all the time….sometimes you have to be willing to share the wealth………don’t get caught up angry at the world all because of…………
Well, this wraps up this edition……I love yall…..I hope you enjoyed this reading….sometimes I know what I want to write about and sometimes I just write…..today was a little bit of both….im getting fed up seeing the bull crap…..especially in the industry I am in……lets support and love one another…..realize that your next breath is not promised to you……..
Love yall!!!!

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU THAT I WONT STOP!!!
Wow……I’m actually writing today…..I missed you guys so much…..really didn’t have anything constructive to talk about…..been doing a lot of reshuffling in my life….nothing major…just had to focus on being a better man……and with that, I had to give a few things up……how have you all been?....I hope to find you all in good spirits and as joyful as possible…….I’m good…ready to get off work…..like always…I guess the more things change, the more things stay the same……..
I want to sincerely thank everyone for their concern……not being funny when I say this…but I truly didn’t think this many people cared…..there became a point when I let my own insecurities take me away from the joys of life…..I begin to believe that the blog was only for my entertainment…in a way, I began to take them for granted…..I guess you never really know how many lives you touch by putting a magnifying glass to your own issues…..I want to give a special thank you to my strength and conditioning coach, Derek Daider…….even though we work together on this Essential Entertainment journey, he was there as a big brother, refusing to let me stay in my rut regardless of circumstance…..no homo….I love you bro…….
Been going to church on a regular lately…..and to be honest, sometimes I haven’t wanted to go….it seems as if Jayla knows if she is staying at my house, church is on the menu….so she makes sure I am awake and I get my butt up and go to church every Sunday…..what more can u ask for in a daughter you know??........it was funny because Stephanie forgot her car seat this past Saturday and she was upset!!.....I mean, if we could understand everything she was saying, she probably cursed her mom out……she was not happy about possibly missing church…..but that’s the push I need sometime….it would have been easy for me to roll over and go back to sleep…..but what this generation is missing…myself including…is an active faith…..and that happens when you actively pursue the grace of God……..
I think the best thing that this time off did was give me a clean slate with people……and events…..I feel the business aspect was getting too personal….as I mentioned before, I felt censored…..and I have come to grips that I should be…..its not right for me to blatantly give my side of the story to the masses and make someone feel like they are being attacked……in the same light, it was due to me showing more affection then I should….catch 22 if you will……I appreciate the people I meet and I definitely don’t wanna burn bridges…..I just have to learn to keep my mouth shut or say things with a more diplomatic perspective……all because I have this forum does not allow me to be brash and rude and uncaring of others….if I continue that path, I will reap what I sew…..don’t get wrong though….I will continue to voice my opinions……I will continue to give you insight into my world and my emotions……and I will continue to be Spaceship Ohayses……..
I have realized there are times where I feel loneliness…..its easy to think because Spaceship is everywhere and does everything, that I don’t have a void in my life…..I do…and I spend a lot of time denying it…..I find every source of an excuse to stay alone…to not have that rock beside me…..is it fear?...is it the fact that I feel I will disappoint?.....is it that I know that I am too busy?....not sure…and no this is not my calling for my own reality show…..I’m ready for completion…..on all fronts…..the tricky part is how do I go about doing this…a good friend of mine told me my problem is the wall I have up…on all fronts……and she was correct……how this wall was built, I don’t know….and what it will take to bring it down…that’s a good question……but I am focused on aligning myself up for greatness……no matter who it hurts in the end…….
And I think I just answered my own question….that has been my problem…not wanting to hurt people….and in the meanwhile, I have been hurting myself….playing with my own emotions…and pulling myself back from my rightful place in society……
And this is not a sad song; but yet, a resurrection if you will…..as much as I type, to live it is hard…..for I am human…..and a stubborn one at that stuck in my ways since I was 9……every night I pray that God will help me change my ways, actions, disposition, and course….and most days I forget my own prayer….until I lay back down…..I may not write everyday like I used to…..I may not have something funny to say all the time anymore….but I will make a promise to work as hard to be a better person……to be a better father, a better artist, a better employee and employer, and a better man…….it will take time…….in the end, that’s all I got……….
Once again, I missed yall so much!!....make sure you follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/spaceshipo

YOU CAN'T BE ME!! I'M EDDIE KANE JR!!
Good evening you guys…..I know I am a little bit late today…that’s because my schedule changed at work…..so I am here until 9…yeah, I know…missing wrestling and everything….but I am cool with it…….hope you all had a great weekend…..mine was rather busy……and scattered…..I think that is becoming the definition of my life……scattered…I’m starting to feel like the chicken with its head cut off…..going every way but don’t which one is right……almost didn’t blog today….in one of those moods again……boy, I tell you…RUTS SUCK!!...haha…that rhymed……
Before I begin writing I want to send a happy birthday to my girl Robin……happy 44th birthday love…you look good for being a cougar!!...GROWL!!!!
But on a serious note…yeah, I almost didn’t write today…been doing a lot of soul searching……I was talking to the pastor of the church I attend and one thing that stuck out about our conversation is my honesty….yeah, I write to you guys most days…and I try to open up myself and let you see the insides of a hungry entertainment…..but I haven’t been honest with myself……I take a lot of things and put them in the back burner….knowing how important it is to stay positive and not talk to much about my personal life, I have, in some regard, started to cheat myself……he told me I needed to write…..I informed him I do write….and he explained that even though I write these blogs, I don’t write my feelings ENTIRELY…..I write what I want you all to read……and its an accurate statement…..I cant talk about everything on here…..I know too many sensitive people……over this past year, I have been censored because of what some people have felt was a “shot”……rather it was a relationship with friends, family, or associates……my shows, their promoters, owners, and artists…….or simply a random question or thought I have because I am Spaceship Ohayses……its amazing how people that “think” they know me opinion differs from those that actually do know me….it has never been my intent on hurting anyone or making anyone feel uncomfortable about a situation or circumstance…….
And that is one of my issues…..justifying my actions….I don’t know if writing this blog is worth it anymore….I think I need to get back in tune with myself….I was watching the Behind the Music episode on Jennifer Hudson yesterday and they were talking about her being asked to do a movie shortly after her mother was killed….she told them she couldn’t jump into another character because she was still trying to figure out who she was now after that tragedy……I feel her pain…..everyday, I jump into my Superman suit of being Spaceship Ohayses…….I realize that I have yet to spend one day crying about my grandmother…..even though I spend most of my days wishing I could talk to her…..and not just through heaven……no matter what I go through, I have to be Spaceship and the pains I feel are building up……me being me just shrugs it off; who cares anyway…people see me and want to laugh…..want to debate, and want the pleasures met in some aspect…I wonder how my life would be different if I would have taken time to adjust to this change of having my best friend gone….I used my music as my crutch…….thinking I was as invincible as any other superhero…..I guess I am not…..
Some days I wonder if I did disappear…..just fell off the face of the Earth for a spell, who would notice?.......I’m not really sure of that answer and may not even care for it, but I think that option is imminent…..I need to get away and make some sense of what is going on in my world…..I write because I know I am imperfect….I try to spill my guts without giving too much to the masses….I would hate for someone to use my weakness against me……most of my life, I have been the rock; a foundation for those who didn’t think they could continue on……even though I knew my battles were mounting, I believe I could always win…I WOULD always win…….it just has always been that way……
I feel like Mike Tyson in fighting Buster Douglas……he was the baddest man on the planet…feared by all that came against him….he won many fights even before the bell rang….and once he was knocked out, not only was it hard for him to get back up on that day, but essentially, his career was over from that point on…….
I don’t want that for myself….so before I get knocked out, I need to regroup…..I need to make plan what truly my issues are and where I need God to help me…..I have never been this weak in my life……I have never been on the brink of going crazy like this….everywhere I turn, it seems like another obstacle……..everywhere I run, another problem…….so here I am…..standing….in the middle of my deserted island, begging for help……..
Its kinda ironic that my name is Ohayses…….my mental state of mind is searching for that oasis right now…..I’m drained…almost too fatigued to continue fighting……when do I ask myself is it worth it…..when do I say, I have had enough…….when……is it over?.....
To all of you, I thank you for your patience with me on this journey…..life is about results, and quite frankly…I haven’t shown much…….I promise that I will make all of those that truly care about me proud……..its time to shed some dead skin……its time to jump into my destiny……..but first….I must fall in love with someone I have forgotten in this process towards immortality……ME………
Love yall!!!

SKYDIVING WITH CONCRETE KITES
Whew!!...thought I was going to have to work tonight…..and in actuality, I was scheduled to……but I talked to one of the supervisors and I get a free pass…..although, my boss isn’t here today, so I am not in the clear…..just pray for me…..how are you all doing today?.......I’m sleepy…hell, I guess I stay that way though….I hope you all have a great weekend…..and if you are looking for something to do, here it is……ALL NU GROOVE SESSION TOMORROW NIGHT @ MURPHYS PLACE.....GROWN AND SEXY AT ITS FINEST!!......EVERYBODY FREE BEFORE 10:38!!!.....DJ BLAST ON THE ONES AND TWOS!!!...9410 WALNUT STREET.....IF YOU COMING, BRING A FRIEND!!...........
Last week was cool……we had a nice crowd…I am definitely looking forward to even more people this weekend…..its kind of cool to go to a spot and not having to worry about how many people will be mad at you by the end of the night……..their only purpose now is to listen to some great music and to enjoy themselves……and that’s exactly what I will be doing as well…..sitting back and enjoying the evening with great company….YOU!!!...........
Don’t forget about the Essential Yard Sale also going on tomorrow……..it will be at the corner of Spring Valley and Preston…….and if you have anything you may want to donate, please let me know…we are always in need of more things to sale……my goal is to donate at least 50 book bags to local children who can’t afford their own….remember, EDUCATION IS THE PASSPORT TO THE FUTURE; FOR TOMORROW BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE WHO PREPARE FOR IT TODAY- EXCELEENCE WILL BE TOLERATED”…...you know what’s funny?.......they used to say that during our announcements when I was in high school…and to this day, I still remember it……and there are so many things I don’t remember…….the power of the brain…….
A little disappointed today…..I had a client call in that we have been chasing for a long time……I made contact and took care of the situation….but upon further investigation of my work, I saw that I made many minor errors……now the supervisor that caught these errors talked to me and told me not to be discouraged…..but I am…I pride myself on trying to do a job correctly…….I like to do this right…and when I don’t, I feel like a failure in some aspect…I know I wont lose my job over it……I even know it was a great learning opportunity……I guess I just need to get on the ball more…..
There was something he said that really stuck with me though…..and it ties into something my grandfather used to tell me….”don’t be a jack of all trades and a master of none”….that’s what gramps said….this boss told me not to do a lot of things at 10% and nothing at 100%...eventually someone is going to have to come behind and finish that 90%........and that’s not a good feeling……sometimes I think I do try to dabble in too much stuff and not become a master of what I am really good at…I remember in high school, I played basketball, football, baseball, ran track, wrestled, and chess……..good at all of them…but not great…..and here at work, I must make an effort to work diligently at one task before I get sidetracked with another job…….just food for thought…….
Driving home last night and I couldn’t decide what I wanted to eat…there was McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Long John Silver’s, Raising Cane’s, and a host of other restaurants to choose from……I started thinking…….what if there was only one place to eat?......what if Burger King was the only option outside of cooking at home?.......what would their prices be?.....how about the taste of the food?.....the customer service?....how packed would it be?....and would they ever change their menu…….I realized, “Thank God for options!!!”……
In life, there is always competition….if there wasn’t how would complacency affect us…..we must always attempt to become better, because somewhere….someone is trying to take your spot…..even in this hip hop world I live in, I know one thing is a fact….there is somebody waiting on my to falter………I remember eating 300 big macs in a row…(not in a day, but every time I went there)…..it got boring…….it became commonplace…and eventually, I became disgusted with its taste……I used to not want to eat anywhere else but McDonald’s………options and competition create identity……
When we see something that is a threat to us, we have two options….we can either curl up in the corner and quit…or we can re-invent ourselves to become better than the obstacle ahead of us……what remains true is that the competition cares what you are doing, but doesn’t care if u succeed or not…….in fact, they are praying for your downfall…….if you look at life, everything is a battle…everything you long for, you have to compete for………while the winners and losers may be gray, the fact that they exist is black and white…….
I am a guy that pretty much likes things as is…I don’t really step out my boundaries on clothing, food, music, and point of views…….but I do love to hear and learn about other things……we cant become prejudice to thinking our way is the only that matters……we cant believe that because we eat over here, that this is all there is to eat in the world…we must understand that options are present and must respect them for what they are…….don’t get caught up thinking that no one is invincible and your preference is perfect……opinions are yours, but options are for everybody!!!!........
Well I am about to end this daily ritual…..shout outs to Rhonda….HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AS WELL LOVE……man a lot of my friends are having birthdays this week…..sucks that my funds aren’t where they need to be…….as I told you earlier, thank you for being in my life…thank you for being there for me….THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIENNNNNNDDDD!!!!.......I hope you have an awesome weekend and you and Tonya don’t party too much!!!........
See yall sometime tomorrow my fellow Martians!!!!
Love yall!!!!!!

I am a guy that pretty much likes things as is…I don’t really step out my boundaries on clothing, food, music, and point of views…….but I do love to hear and learn about other things……we cant become prejudice to thinking our way is the only that matters……we cant believe that because we eat over here, that this is all there is to eat in the world…we must understand that options are present and must respect them for what they are…….don’t get caught up thinking that no one is invincible and your preference is perfect……opinions are yours, but options are for everybody!!!!........
Well I am about to end this daily ritual…..shout outs to Rhonda….HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AS WELL LOVE……man a lot of my friends are having birthdays this week…..sucks that my funds aren’t where they need to be…….as I told you earlier, thank you for being in my life…thank you for being there for me….THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIENNNNNNDDDD!!!!.......I hope you have an awesome weekend and you and Tonya don’t party too much!!!........
See yall sometime tomorrow my fellow Martians!!!!
Love yall!!!!!!

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NEEDS WINDEX!!
So I am still here at work…and it’s raining outside…the things I would do right now to get some sleep!!...how are you all doing this evening?......I’m feeling good……got some good rest last night……but you know my work is never done…..one more day until the weekend…….and even then, I still will be busy…..with all that I do, I so love the life I live….at times, it does get bothersome….sometimes, I wanna rest…….but I know better…plus I have a fear….if I rest for one moment, I will miss something and my opportunity may pass me by……..
Well, in 7 days, I will be headed to Reno for a show…..didn’t think I was going to go but now it looks like a reality…..its weird how I don’t get excited for a lot of things….but I do get extremely nervous…….for most of my events….I guess it’s the anticipation of if the crowd will enjoy themselves…….from open mics, to the black history program, to any endeavor…at the end of the day, I wanna be memorable…and if that doesn’t happen, I feel like I did not complete the mission the way it should have been…….
Not much to talk about today…..or so I say……its funny how once you start using your mind to think, other things come out……and I think that’s one of the blessings of writing everyday…to be able to open a channel of my mind that I know I wouldn’t if I didn’t use this blog as a platform to vent……it is great to go back and read a lot of what I have written….sometimes…..sometimes I have to drink truth serum and take a look at myself……although I may write a lot of meaningful things, I have to be mindful to practice what I preach……and it is hard….especially living in this world…..of course, I am no saint……I do try everyday to be a better person than I was yesterday…..some days I succeed…and some days I ask what the heck is wrong with me……I guess that’s the price of humanity……
To reflect on myself is a good thing though……when I was younger, I never thought any cared for me…..I lived in a “dog eat dog” state of mine……growing up in Flint, you pretty much had to…..I had my grandparents, but once I left the walls of Harriet Street, there was no guarantee I would make it home that night…..of course I had my hand in the hood cookie jar…….my mission was to be like the big dogs of the world…with no financial complications and all the power and clout I could muster……my dream was not to be someone of purpose, but someone with power…..
Moving to Mississippi, I felt I had an advantage over my peers….growing up in what I considered a fast pace and metropolitan lifestyle, I was not accustomed to the homely nature of the South……there was this hospitality that I was ignorant to………a realm of graciousness that was not becoming of my disposition…..I was eager to stay on my pedestal….the “ I am better than you” mentality was easily displayed in classes, card games, smoking, shopping, and anything else I could think of…..slowly though, being so isolated started to wear on me…….I wanted to be appreciated in someone other than myself eyes….but of course, I had too much pride to articulate this…..through an unsuccessful marriage and moving to Texas, I gut my wall back up…….its better to stay guarded than to be hurt……tears were for the weak….its better not to show my weakness to anyone because they could use it against me………..
Here I am, 12 years after my original migration, a total shell of my former self…..its crazy how through all the trials and tribulations, I still attempted to maintain a hardness about me……but the growth that I have seen within me only came out once I realized it was okay to share my feelings…still, I am not good at it…and may never be for fear of getting hurt……but its okay to tell someone that I care about them now…its cool to appreciate others for the things they do for me….its okay to reach out for help when I am weak….I used to think I was going to die a lonely old man…..no one would even know I was gone for a few days or weeks……I know I have people that love me and I have to show them that same respect…..its harder for me than what you think……and not because I don’t care…I have been used to disappointing people when they become attached…whether it was a girl, teammates, family, or friends…….it became acceptable and a protocol in my eyes…….get close, have fun, become disappointed, become distant again……
I am here to tell you….if God wanted us to be alone, he wouldn’t make babies……don’t allow your stubbornness to restrict the blessings of people in your life…whether right, wrong or indifferent, people are placed in your life for a reason….some people are in my life to help me stay on the straight and narrow…not to be a friend……everyone you meet wont tell you sweet music…some of it is designed to make you a better person……thank you for all that you guys do to help me become a better me……I am prepared more than ever to walk across that bridge to success with all of you on my back…..the burdens I thought were too heavy to lift are becoming a memory…and that pride I used to have, has disintegrated to humbleness…..
Well I won’t continue to be long winded…hopefully; you all get the point…thank you for molding me……
Shout outs to my girl Necole…..happy birthday big eyes…love you so much…guess now I have to take you out for ur birthday…..where are we gonna go?......Krystal’s!!!!!.....and a slurpee from 7-11!!...lmao!!...you know I am kidding…let me know when you free…..I wont be free for a few weeks but hey, rain checks work!!!...........
Love yall!!!!

DEATH AT A FUNERAL?.....HE STILL OWE ME MONEY!!!
Wow….it’s Wednesday already…how are you doing today folks?.....I am doing a lot better…went to sleep with a headache and woke up with the same darn headache……needless to say I got to work late….about an hour and a half late….but I did call in so I wouldn’t get reprimanded…..and the boss I called didn’t come in until 12…..smart ole me…….but they cant say I didn’t call at least……I guess I love these weeks where we don’t have to work on Monday’s due to the holiday……even though I did, its still making the week go by pretty fast………
THERE WILL BE NO ROLLS ROYCE TONIGHT!!!......I REPEAT, THERE WILL BE NO ROLLS ROYCE TONIGHT!!.........
Yeah I know….bummer…..but this is the life of entertainment…ups and downs…..growing pains…..do I know if I will be hosting another open mic in the future?......no……and in some regard, I am not that upset…….I think I needed to take a break…..it does give me an opportunity to look at the competition a little closer and not just hear say…….working consistently at one spot can sometimes place you in a bubble…you cant see what’s going on around you…..and if you don’t know what you are up against, you can lose sight of your goal…….so for me, I am going to prepare for this yard sale this weekend and the Groove Session Saturday night…I hope to see you all there!!.........
What is up with folks bringing their kids into the workplace?......not only is it dangerous but I also this its not necessary…..its crazy to me that people would want to parade their child around people here……letting folks touch and hold your kid….getting all up in their face and treating the child like a pit bull…….call me old fashion but I think its inappropriate….also, if I cant get in the building without a badge to work, why should they be allowed to come up here just to walk around and distract the work progress?.......
You know, throughout my day, I think of so many life lessons that I face…..I am usually so eager to write them all down but for some reason, I never do….its usually because I am actually in the act of doing something and I try to remember my topics….but I don’t…..until after I blog…….
But I was discussing something with my co-workers earlier that I do remember…..we were talking about losing and finding things……this morning when I called in, I expected to be at work no later than 9…..I figured I could wake up around 8:30, get dressed and get to work on time…needless to say that didn’t happen…..I woke up by 9, and hurried to get ready for work…….now, I’m dressed, badge on, and a bottle of water to drink on my way to work…….I walk outside my house, lock my door and go to my vehicle……I DON’T HAVE MY KEYS!!!.....no biggie, I go back in the house and look for them……..I couldn’t find them…now I had them not even 8 hours ago when I came home last night……they weren’t in my pockets….they were not on the table or my couch that I sit on……I scrambled trying to hurry so I wouldn’t be later than I was……then I got frustrated…..I stopped, looked around and bam!!.....there they were on the floor next to the door…….in all that haste, I didn’t think to look on the ground to see my keys…I picked them up and hurried off to work……….
How many times do we scramble find something when the answer is right there in front of us……we look in all the wrong places, thinking that “possibly”, it could be here……and we know better…I know times where I have misplaced my keys and I am looking in the bathroom for them…I know darn well its not there……..and we have a tendency to live like that…….we wonder why our destiny, ministry, job, or family, is not taking off like we think it should….where are you looking?..........why doesn’t she like me the way I like her…..where are you looking?........why my obligations are not being prioritized and carried out properly?.......where are you looking?.........if we want to find the key to get us from point A to B in our lives, we must look in the appropriate place…….
And another thing that happens…sometimes…….we even get distracted…we begin to look for one thing…find something else….and forget what we were looking for in the first place…..I was looking for my keys this morning and found my Best of Mr. Perfect DVD set….now if I didn’t have to go to work, I probably would have put it in and watched some of it…….luckily for me, I knew what was most important at the time……but how many times have I been guilty of letting distractions take me from my destiny…….excess detours will lead you to a longer journey….and in some cases, uncomfortable journeys…….even when I am driving down the street, I may turn into a restaurant instead of waiting at the light…now by the time, I get to the other side of the restaurant, the adjacent light turns green and I still have to wait…….ugh!!!!.........
Lets not be so impatient that we miss what is right in front of us……its our blessing and that’s why it is there……and then we get upset and frustrated because we cant find what we are looking for…….ask yourself…..where are you looking??.........
Well I am about to exit, stage left……I love yall…..I really do……it is so comforting the feedback I get from you all………some days, I really don’t want to write….I feel like I have nothing to converse about……but then I think that the reason I write is not because of me…..some of you are getting touched and I am learning a lot by putting my life under a microscope…no I wont always be right in my opinions……..I wont always be accepted for my comments….by now, I actually expect someone to write me and criticize something I write…oh well….that means it is having its purpose……..
Shout outs to my man Brian Mullins…..he hipped me onto a great networking opportunity on Monday and I just want him to know how much I appreciate it……you know, you don’t have to talk to someone everyday for you to be cordial….or helpful…….it is people like him that makes what I do worth it and I want to thank you so much fam……you are an angel on this Earth………
Love yall!!!!!

THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVERS.......
Hello to one….hello to all…..I hope I come to you in good spirits…I pray everyone had an outstanding 4th of July weekend…….I truly worked all weekend……..Sunday morning and yesterday afternoon was my only chances to rest…and felt guilty about Sunday…..missed church and I know better……..hopefully, it wasn’t the deciding factor of me going to heaven or hell…….sunny all day and now…..BOOM!!...the rain cometh down……..and I am supposed to pick up some things for our yard sale this Saturday……..yeah, it will be a continual thing so come out and get some great deals…….in the process, you will be helping Essential Entertainment on its next big event!!!.........
I don’t like seeing people leaving work before me!!!!.....it just seem like this last hour goes by so slow……and no…..I cant come to work early…..it would be purposeless…if I came to work, I would not be productive and that is something I don’t like doing….I am already paranoid so being here with nothing to do and wasting time, I would get frustrated myself…….that’s the good thing about writing you guys…it makes this time fly by…..sometimes I have to hurry up with what I am saying so I can get my butt out of here and leave……..
Had a lot of fun Saturday night….its been a long time since I have had my own club night….no rapping, no hosting, no hoping people come, and no animosity……I was able to sit back and chill…..and the crowd definitely enjoyed it……it was a really good feeling and a lot of positive feedback…..I hope to see you all come out and chill with me next Saturday….yeah…..he is going to give this a shot and allow Essential Entertainment to bring the Preliminary Groove Session to you all every Saturday evening……….
So this weekend I had something really cool happen to me…….and it showed me that patience sometimes pays off……I was getting ready to perform at Club Halftime…….for their Hood Idol/ Movement Birthday party….well this one artist that came to Rolls Royce and won a few weeks back…he has an issue with me……apparently, he thought he was going to win the $250 on that night…….even after I informed him THAT NIGHT that he wouldn’t…….well since then, every time I have saw him, he has had something fly to say…..now to my people back home in Flint, I know what you are thinking……..yes, I am not punching people in their face for no reason anymore……I am an entertainer and being in that spotlight, I have to contain myself now….I do not want a bad stigma placed on me or my conduits…….so I caution myself not to make of fool of what I have worked hard to build……..well Sunday….which was the night of the performance, dude shows up….I even warned the promoter that this may be the night he gets that issue…….hey, at least I warned them!!.........well the artist comes in and he calls me over to him….AND HE APOLOGIZES!!.......it was a very good feeling…….not because he apologized to me….because God touched his heart and allowed him to be humble enough to get over the miscommunication……if he is going to take his music to the next level, he cant run around thinking he can handle folks any kind of way….everyone is this game isn’t as nice and full of compassion like myself…….I love to see growth in people…..it may not be because of me, but I know God used me in his plan to help give this young man some wisdom………..
My point being…let’s not let our egos burn bridges……we need not jump to conclusions and mess up the things we have worked hard for to prove how “street” or “gangster” we are………no one will agree on everything, but just think about how many times we have disconnected from someone because of pride or something petty……I have been guilty of it many times in my life and wondered why God would miss me on some blessings….He did it so what makes us any better than him??.....it kinda baffles me when I think about all the things I do in my life that I act spoiled about when God deals with it everyday….folks talking about me……not having money………struggles of the world………I am actually become ashamed of some of my attitudes…..if anything, I need to go to my tag team partner and determine a plan to make my life better than it was yesterday………
My mojo……gosh I love it…….lately, with all the great things that have been going on within Essential Entertainment, my mojo is soaring to a new stratosphere……its not into a realm of cockiness or conceit, but I simply am starting to see the rewards of all my hard work…..and my team…I don’t think I could have asked for better people to ride this journey with me…..one thing I want to say to all up and coming entrepreneurs……..business is business and personal is personal…….get people to work with you that are able to separate the two….that are willing to work hard and motivate you….if you are not around positive and like minded people, how do you ever think you will escalate………its about trial and error……..its about making good decisions and knowing the strength and weaknesses of not only those around you but also yourself…….make it a priority to treat all of your comrades with respect…don’t bark orders and make demands…treat them like people and respect will be granted to you……these are things I am learning....and for that, I am grateful……..
Well, I think I am about to get out of here…if you haven’t yet, make sure you become a follower at www.spaceshipohayses.blogspot.com and www.twitter.com/spaceshipo as soon as you read this………I want to make sure I can connect with you all because it is you that made me who I am and I want you all to continue on this journey with me………..
Shout outs to my girl LaDondra…it is her birthday today and I want to send her a very special birthday wish…..to my best friend Kelli Nicole and my niece Ms Rhiyan….happy birthday ladies…I love yall soooooooo much……….please teach me how to tweet like you……….
Love yall!!!!!!

Well, I think I am about to get out of here…if you haven’t yet, make sure you become a follower at www.spaceshipohayses.blogspot.com and www.twitter.com/spaceshipo as soon as you read this………I want to make sure I can connect with you all because it is you that made me who I am and I want you all to continue on this journey with me………..

SPEECHLESS AT A DEBATE
I guess I am here my friends!!.......how are you all doing today…..I am good…..still at work and ready to get off….by the time you receive this blog, some major events could have possibly transpired…but, who would really know…….had a pretty good day…..trying to stay focused on the goal at hand…..and become a better individual everyday……..
So we are currently past the half way mark of the calendar year today….July already…..wow….seems like the year just started………and now we are getting ready for the fattening holidays…..the 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas……I think next week, I will put my Xmas wish list together so you all can collect your pennies and see what it do……
I need to correct an error from yesterday…..I gave a shout out to my girl Chris from U.B.E……TOTAL TYPO…….Chris is a male and he made sure I knew that……I was thinking one thing and writing another….I do sincerely apologize for the sex change I administered through my writing…..remember people, if you are trying to get heard, or if you know someone that is trying to get their music out, get at me…….Chris is doing excellent things with his mixtapes and he has A LOT of connections………I’m just saying…….
THIS SATURDAY, ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE HOLDING THE 3RD OF JULY GROOVE NIGHT…….WE WILL BE AT MURPHYS PLACE…THIS ISNT AN OPEN MIC……YOU WONT HEAR A LOT OF THE NEW SCHOOL MUSIC…THIS IS A GROWN AND SEXY EVENT, ONLY FOR THE GROWN AND SEXY…….FREE FOR LADIES BEFORE TEN……..TEN FOR EVERYONE AFTER……VIP IS AVAILABLE………9410 WALNUT STREET IS THE ADDRESS……COME OUT AND CELEBRATE THE 4TH OF JULY WITH SPACESHIP OHAYSES AND THE ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY…..NEW YORK’S OWN DJ BLAST WILL BE ON THE 1S AND 2S………
ALSO, SATURDAY MORNING, ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE HAVING A YARD SALE ON THE CORNER OF PRESTON AND SPRING VALEEY AT THE OLD EBENEZER WORSHIP CENTER SHURCH……14000 PRESTON RD IS THE ADDRESS……IF YOU LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NICE AND INEXPENSIVE, PLEASE COME CHECK US OUT!!..........
Yeah I know…busy is as busy does………..
Oh my…the funniest thing happened today while I was walking in work…..so I was walking in with one of my co-workers and this young lady walks by…my co-worker is very sensitive to strong smells so one whiff of this young ladies perfume really messed up he lungs and breathing….but she was good……well, one of the managers saw this as he was walking past her and wanted to see if she was alright…by the time she caught her breath to tell him everything was good, she apparently smelled him and his cologne was either as strong……if not stronger…than the previous young lady’s….oh I was tickled….then when I get upstairs to my area, he comes to asked me if she is alright……he makes a comment saying that she may need to get that checked out…..nah playa, maybe you need to stop drowning yourself in Brut before you come to work……
Got a small dilemma and I am trying to go about it the right way…..got this co-worker and he is the type that I think doesn’t really have many friends…except probably his girlfriend….he spends a lot of time in other people’s conversations and routinely spreads rumors….the issue is…NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING TO HIM??!!!.......DID I MENTION IT’S A GUY!!!??........
(quick tangent)….I am learning that there are a lot of caddy dudes around these parts…..I thought women…and not to sound rude or anything…were typically the ones that talked behind folks back, but geez!!!.........
He has never done anything to me…besides attempt to tell me about other people….I just don’t think I want him even in my rotation….and I am not feeling like defending someone else at this particular moment….should I just shut up and ignore what he says to me?....or should I say something hoping he gets the picture…….
I remember my grandmother telling me, even a child can tell you right from wrong…..I’m seeing an epidemic where people don’t feel like they can learn after a certain age……they know it all and change is not going to happen in their mentality……I think that’s the best part of writing these blogs for me…I can see many errors of my ways…..I know that I am changing for the best and I am trying to prepare myself to be a good husband, boss, teacher, whatever God plans are for me…….its wild how I see people day to day thinking that their way is the only way but at the same time wondering why downfall is imminent in their life…………
Have you ever met somebody that you had to be mean to?......I mean, you try to be nice to them and it never works…or they take it too far??.........
Well, I think I am about to retire for the day…….sorry about the brain farts…..not much in the mind of Spaceship today…….
Shout outs to my girl Ms. La……..you just don’t know how happy I was to hear from you yesterday……..I told you I got you and I promise that I wont be far away whenever you need me…….and a special shout out to my girl KayDee……….enough said……..
Love yall!!!!
