This is the day that the Lord has made…I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!!......howdy folks…..I pray that you all are doing well this afternoon….OMG, it is so hot here in Dallas……90 in May….are you serious??!....so, so serious…….but I am doing pretty good……just got out of a meeting that I think will be very beneficial to my success hear at work…….and I am usually the type that don’t care for meetings……especially up here…..but it was worth it…….in my opinion…..so I will take the information I received and run with it…….
Got a few things to discuss……not many…so don’t fret……I wont take up too much of your time today…..I don’t think……
DON’T FORGET!!!.....TOMORROW IS DJ LADY JA-ROQ’S OPEN MIC SHOWCASE AT ROOLS ROYCE…WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING ANOTHER $250 FINALIST!!....DOORS OPEN AT NINE….SHOW STARTS AT TEN…….AND IT WILL BE GOING DOWN FOLKS……$5 ENTRY IF YOU ARE OVER 21…….ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST PERFORMING………9220 SKILLMAN STREET…….NORTH DALLAS…..
So as I was walking to my car this morning, I saw 2 men picking up concrete…..one of them was in a truck…the other was directing……well, the one driving the vehicle, you could tell he knew what he was doing……almost cocky in his work…….going back and forth, moving the concrete and doing his job with such regularity, he probably could have done it blindfolded…..but then, the other guy directing tried to get his attention…….but he chose not to pay attention…..warning after warning came and then without another opportunity to stop his tracks, he fell and got stuck in a ditch……..his crane couldn’t move…..he couldn’t lift that crane out of that hole…..no matter how hard he tried……eventually, the person that was directing him, assisted him in getting the crane out of the ditch and back to working again……..and I bet he started to listen then……
I realized this is our life…….sometimes, I……and I will use myself due to the things I go through……we have a tendency to think life is a cake walk……we get so comfortable with the usual, we don’t take the time to listen to someone who is trying to make sure we are going in the correct path…..and God is our director…….he tries to give us direction to live our lives in harmony….but of course, we don’t listen…we think we know the answers……heck, I’ve been me for thirty years……you cant tell me anything I already don’t know…….and then what happens……BOOM!!!......I fall straight in a ditch….once again, not listening or asking for help, I think I can get myself out the ditch myself……I pull, tug, squirm, and anything else I can think of to get out that darn hole……but I cant……and in the meanwhile, I am not doing anything but becoming more tired……can’t forget I still have work to be done AFTER I get out of this predicament……so then, with all the pride and ego inside of me, I finally ask for help……..and God looks….he laughs….(yes I believe he has a sense of humor)…….and he helps…….when I could have paid attention in the first place……..now, as weary as I am, I have to continue working and get the job that he has asked of me in the first place, finished…..wow life has so many lessons……..
SUNDAY, MAY 30TH, ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINEMTN WILL BE HAVING ITS FIRST “ESSENTIAL VICTORY CONCERT” AT ROLLS ROLLS…START TIME IS 3PM……YES 3 IN THE AFTERNOON….TICKETS ARE $10 IN ADVANCE AND $15 AT THE DOOR….PERFORMING LIVE WILL BE SPACESHIP OHAYSES, WYZE, DEREK DAIDER, MOMU ENT., CHAMP, MR PROBLEM, SKYRON, AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….PROCEEDS WILL EB GOING TO A LOCAL CHARITY…..I DO ASK THAT YOU ALL CONTRIBUTE AND COME OUT TO THIS EVENT…….
Now I do wonder this…except for my haters…..why not come support??.....we can go to a club where nothing will be gained, but in the instance where it will be beneficial to the youth and our community, we don’t come out……its amazing how nothing matters until it pertains to us….no struggles, sorrows, and tribulations are important until we are the ones needing assistance…..come on out and support this excellent event…….
Told you I wouldn’t be long today…like a pastor trying to see the football game…….but before I leave……..here is…….Rika’s Quote of the Day………….
“When you feel the need to tell someone how bad your day has been, tell them how good it’s been instead.”
I challenge you all to speak more positive things in your life…let’s not be defeated before we try it…I hear way too much drama in this world….lets compliment folks…….and God’s blessings will shine on you always…….
Shout out to my homie Veronica……we have the same birthday and act so much alike…but in the end, she is like a big sister…or a older sister that was big until she got the surgery……thank you for your words and being there when I need you…even when you think I am not being serious……….
Love yall!!!

HITCHIKING WITH NO THUMBS
How are you doing today?....I am feeling good…..well, I am getting there…working on a master plan to get my finances in order…I sure hopes it work……the thing is, its something I really didn’t want to do…but its looking like a necessity…….I pray you guys had an awesome weekend and enjoyed yourselves in this crazy weather down here…mine was cool……still a lot of things I need to get done…..
Such as cleaning my house…now I did finally fold the clothes I washed……last Monday….I know…..lazy is me…..I promise when I get home today, I am going to focus on cleaning that junk basket……and that’s all it is…..junky……its funny because I was sitting at home yesterday saying to myself how bored I was…..but I looked around and saw how much my crib needed attention…….so that’s when I decided to start cleaning up….and as soon as I did…Jayla woke up…….so I couldn’t do as much as I had finally planned on doing…….I have to do better!!!.........
DON’T FORGET TO COME OUT THIS WEDNESDAY FOR DJ LADY JA-ROQ’S OPEN MIC SHOWCASE!!...AT ROLLS ROYCE…..9220 SKILLMAN STREET IN NORTH DALLAS……WE ARE STILL IN THE RACE FOR $250!!!.......FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE……BRING YOUR “A” GAME!!!!!..........
So last week we are up there and are outside chilling before the show and we see a police car……..did I tell yall about this?.......next thing you know, we saw another…..and another…and another……and then about 30 more….I was like WTF??!!!...major Set it Off moment……you know, when Cleo was getting that issue at the end…that’s what it felt like…..no one could have been able to escape that…..not even Jesus……and the worst part about it…somebody outside was like, “Man! I bet I could rob guitar center right now and not get caught!”……..damn shame I tell you………
Just when I thought it was safe to come back, I may have to put a hold on the blogs again……I may not since I write most of them at work…….but I still have some issues to take care of…….just when I thought it was safe, the devil attacked me again this weekend…..and he hit me very hard………and I was almost in a very weak state……but this is why I love Stephanie……I may not like her at times but she tells me what’s real…….its crazy how we can give good advice but are so horrible at taking it…….we…and I do include myself…….never like hearing the words we give to others about how God can change situations very quickly……
I wonder what he feels about that….I mean, I try my best to be positive for other people….and at my most critical time, I find myself with the urge to give up…….sad….depressed…and not knowing where my source of life comes from…..yes, I know all the answers…..and I know how great he is…….I hope he is not mad at me for frontin’…….and when it boils down to it, that’s what I am doing……frontin’ like I trust him………..so not good….I need to trust him regardless…….without having to see his plans before he does them……..
Speaking on trust…I was talking to this young lady the other day and she was telling me how she likes to go through her man’s phone……..even if he is not her man yet……I asked why…she said because she can and she is just like that……for me, I don’t think I could date a woman like that….off the bat, you are telling me you don’t trust me…..but you wanna make this work?......I don’t get how that works……..I wrote about this on my facebook the other day and tried my hardest not to respond……of course, I couldn’t help it though…….I know some females that have been in my phone and they wonder why they would never have a chance at being with me……..that is so irritating…..men don’t care about things like that…..we don’t need to see the hurt to be hurt….unlike women……yeah, I said it……..even if you do have that inclination, you want the other person to just tell you, or you are gonna look until you find something……and may even lie about looking………now that’s funny……I had someone look through my computer once…and lie about it……..but its all good…….how can u trust someone like that??........im just saying…….two wrongs don’t make a right….but it will get you left!!!!.....ha ha!!!..........
Well, I need to leave early today…….I have to run some errands to get myself out of this conundrum I am in…..please continue to pray for me…..and for you haters…..you can pray for my death…..its cool…..im used to it………..
And here is……….Rika’s Quote of the Day……………………………
“If you are waiting to be happy, you never will be”
I am learning that one……..I was once told, when you die, you will still have things in your inbox……and in the meantime, I will continue to be happy and love the life God has given me……….
Shout outs to my Essential Entertainment family……I hope yall read the email I sent yesterday….the takeover is here…….I love each and everyone of you guys and I thank God you are apart of this movement….PUT YA PINIKYS UP!!!...........
Love yall!!!

TAKE UR INBOX OUTSIDE AND DELETE IT!!!
It’s Friday!!!...and raining like a mother!!!....how are you all doing today?.....I’m feeling pretty good……ready to get off work….got a lot of running around to do tonight but don’t know if I want to due to this rain…….I have been sleepy all day……came to work and hardly did that…….but I didn’t slack all day……I hope you all are doing well and if you are in the Dallas area and you are going out tonight, please be safe……I don’t want to hear that somebody I know was hurt for being careless….no club or party is worth it…….and I will do the same……
Wow, the cavaliers lost last night……in a crazy way, that’s what keeps me going in the music industry…..you never know who is going to win…a lot of times I get frustrated because the game down here….its not about what you know……its about who you know…and I know a lot of the opportunities are going to friends and people they know and have heard about….but eventually, my time will be coming up…its all about holding fort…most people thought the Celtics didn’t have a chance…they were too old……injured….and didn’t have a player to match the skill set of LeBron James…….and what happened??.....besides on game in their series, Cleveland got out played, out worked and out hustled…….and that’s what I have to do…..work harder, be smarter, and do things with my TEAM that no individual can stop…….
I truly dislike my new phone…I thought getting one of these Android phones would make a lot of business easier……jokes on me…this thing freezes up, doesn’t delete my text, doesn’t get all the text in, and the screen is way too sensitive for my fat butt…….its crazy how when I had my cheap phone, it may have not worked well, but that’s what I expected….now, with this “upgrade”, I thought my phone problems would be solved…..nope…..seems like its getting worse….I guess I shouldn’t depend on a robot…….
And what’s up with people that always think you are talking about them??.......can a person really be that paranoid?.....I’m at work and there is this woman that sits by me….first, she is an ear hustler…don’t even be talking about her…then when we are discussing something and the conversation gets animated, when tries to join in……after her attempts fail, now she gets mad and think we wont let her be apart of the conversation because we must be talking about her…no sweetie….what we are talking about is not your business……even in my blogs or on my facebook, you would be surprised at how many people respond only when I am making comments about them……am I taking shots??....or is that guilt??.......inquiring minds want to know………
I miss Saturday morning cartoons…..I don’t even know if they have any on but I know they aren’t the greats of years past……I bet if they had better cartoons on in the morning, it wouldn’t be so hard for me to wake up…..Jayla likes them, but Yo Gabba Gabba doesn’t count as a cartoon……more like a sesame street rip off……I remember growing up…cartoons were on til 12……at 12, we would watch Soul Train and use the Zoom Broom….we couldn’t afford a vacuum cleaner……as the microphone……have our own Soul Train line and then after it went off, we cleaned up…..next thing we know, its 3 in the afternoon…….now, if I don’t have to work, I wake up about 12 and the day just drags…..but its not a day of relaxation…its more of “now what did I forget to do?”…….
Just found out in the month of June, we will be having mandatory OT……..what exactly is mandatory overtime??......isn’t that some type of contradiction??......if you are giving OT, it should be optional…..but no, you are telling me I have to work extra hours…….I assume that’s a good thing…..as I need the money……..but dang!!......the summer is going to be a hard one for me….my prayers are seemingly being answered, so my tenure here may not be long anyway………
Hopefully, I will have the tickets for the concert by Monday……the flyer is looking excellent and you all will probably be getting that tomorrow…I truly hope you all can make it out…..this is a very important event for me and I am happy that I can give back to the community……..
Well I am not going to keep you all long today……here it is folks…..Rika’s Quote of the Day…………..
“We have never before had today and we will never have it again…don’t waste it.”
I have to live like this…..I know that today is another opportunity for me to be great……I want to commit myself to doing everything I can to be better than I was yesterday…..
Shout outs are in order to my girl Krystal Shanti…..don’t get weary……..allow the Lord to show you what he wants to reveal to you…….you have known me for a long time…….I have had my ups and downs…and I am still standing…….you are destined to be great……..
Love yall!!!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen……I pray you all are having a good night this evening and are ready for the upcoming weekend…..I am feeling good today….a few more blessings this afternoon…a breakthrough on a “friendship”………and just overall feeling really good……trying to get into the habit of praying three times a day…..or when someone is attacking my spirit……its working to, for I don’t stay in a rut for too long……now work???...it’s the same…boring and I am so ready to go…….but hey, gotta pay bills you know……..
Had a very interesting conversation on Facebook today….if anybody gets a chance, check it out……I love some of my friends on there……….it is truly an honor to be able to indulge with intellectual people….now are they are sensible??.....of course not!!.....neither am I so I don’t expect them to be!!!......we all have our beliefs and I love when we can agree to disagree…..folks are so hilarious……
Now I want to put you all up on some of my upcoming events……now I know you may not possibly be able to make all of these, but the 27th and the 30th, I really want you all to come out……..

Had a friend call me today about a major, life-changing decision today……and no matter what kind of “advice” I give them, I will never be able to comprehend the ramifications of their decision……like marriage…I could never tell one of my partners to leave their wife…..what if they have kids?....what about their valuables and possessions……I love being me but understand, I don’t have all the answers…no matter how great you think I am……….
Well I am about to leave……and Rika didn’t send me a quote today……BOOOOOOOOO RIKA!!!!......but I have one…I made it up by accident……I like it though…..so here it is…..Spaceship’s Quote of the Day………..

So last night, I am on my way to see Stephanie at the Steak and Shake over here…..I’m thinking I hear a draft from my passenger window so I try to raise it up…now, this window doesn’t work too good so I try to be careful with it……..then I heard something click…next thing I know, the window falls completely down in its crack……so not a good look……..eventually I pick it out of there……with the help of some needle nose pliers and use every flyer in my car to tighten the tension between the window pane and the window frame………I so have to get that done today……and still the devil cant take my joy!!!!.........
You know how yesterday I was talking about not doing any shows as of late??......well, since Saturday I suppose….up until today, God has filled my schedule for the whole Memorial week…I may have one or two days off, but besides that, He is totally blessing me…..and I need to credit the way I think for that…when I was down, not knowing where my blessings were, it was hard for me to see them…..I’m not looking for them now…..and I think that’s why we don’t give thanks as much as we should…when a blessing does come to us, we take it for granted…or we allow people to say we are lucky….what is luck??.....I believe the word comes from Lucifer……think about it and look at them……the devil gives you luck…a false sense of security…….that’s why its so sporadic…no one is lucky all the time…..duh!!!!........
The connections I was looking for, the ability to do the things I need to, the work ethic….they are all coming back to me…..I have to keep my mind motivated…I became idle for a minute there….and it wasn’t good....as long as I am busy with Essential Entertainment, I know more and more things will come my way…….and this smile isn’t fake……..
But some things just don’t change….women…..and I say this with all sincerity…..STOP WEARING OPEN TOE SHOES IF YOUR FEET ARE BUSTED!!!....I mean seriously…no man wants to see that…no matter how much you don’t care…..and please don’t give me that, “if you don’t like it, get them done” crap……you should care……
Why are there people in the world that start arguments for no reason…….I was at the 7-11 down the street from my house last night and there was this young man in there…white guy…well this black guy comes to the door and the white guy asked for some change….I already knew he was going to ask so I asked him before he had a chance to ask me…..killed that thought real quick…yeah, I asked a homeless man for a dollar….try it, it works…….but instead of simply saying he doesn’t have it, he goes on this rampage cursing this guy out and getting in his face…..do you hate yourself that much dude?.........
Well I am not going to spend too much time with you all today…..hopefully I can get you all an itinerary of my Memorial Day events by tomorrow…I will say that Essential Entertainment will be holding the 1st ever “Essential Victory Charity Concert” on May 30th at Rolls Royce…..mark that in your calendar…….we will be donating half of the proceeds to a local charity in the DFW area…I am truly excited about this event and I hope you all come out….and you don’t have to go to work on Monday, so no excuses!!!......
There is something I am forgetting…….oh yeah!!!....Rika’s Quote of the Day……….
“Nothing happens out of order or by chance so look for the lesson that can be learned from each of your experiences.”
I am such a witness to that….make sure you become a follower: www.spaceshipohayses.blogspot.com and check out the music if you haven’t: www.reverbnation.com/spaceshipohayses ...............
Shout outs are in order for my homie Ms Evans……..I hope you are well today…really miss you at work…you all pray for her…she was in a car accident and we look to Him for your speedy recovery……..
Love yall!!!!!

BAG OF WEAKNESS FOR SALE!!!
Should I?.....or should I stay gone??.....that is the burning question……but at the end of the day I missed you all…….its been a crazy past couple of weeks and in this writing, I may give you all some insight of what I have been able to get through……not all the way but I am starting to see the light….its still far……I’m getting there though……how have you all been??....gosh I have missed you…….its hard not articulating my feelings to you….I felt it was best though, as I was beginning to see myself as too negative for your lives………to those that genuinely expressed concern for me….I do thank you………I’m so used to only worry about my feeling and emotions, I didn’t take into account how tied our destinies truly are……..well, where do I begin??.........let me attempt to break down what I have been doing………and what I will be doing!!!........
FAMILY:
Its been a very weird few weeks for me……I talked to my father’s parents last week…….my and my grandmother had a long talk and she informed me that she would be telling my father I called…..I didn’t really care……figured he wouldn’t call me anyway…sure enough, he did….and just like last time, he told me he would call me at least once a week……he continued to apologize for not being a good dad…….I wont say that I took it with a grain of salt…….but I took it with a grain of salt…….he called me again last night…..two times in a week span……that’s probably more than he has in my 30 years of living….and you know what?........I was happy to see his name on my caller ID……..
Now my mom and I have truly been working on our relationship…or maybe our conversations……..now when we talk, I find myself not so much ready to get off the phone with her……..we joke, call each other names and now I am getting an idea of where my humor comes from……..I think this is all that I ever really wanted…..there is an old adage, “if you don’t learn from history, you are bound to repeat it”……I never knew who I was….why I did certain things, or think the way I do…..bridging this gap with my mom is really doing wonders just for my overall attitude……..
FINANCES:
With all due respect to those going through a recession……..I have been recessed since I can remember……the times I have went through these last couple of weeks have almost been unbearable…….Quita, Rhonda, Robin, Brandon, Tahj, Lisa, Chanell, Mama C, and everyone else that has lent their time, ears, money, and patience with me…..I so thank you…….it has been hard…….to wake up and not have any food…..to get paid and have nothing to show for it………to borrow and cant give back in a timely manner is very frustrating…..and I wanted so hard to become isolated….I never want someone to think I am abusing them or using them or taking advantage of their love…….but you guys would not let me…….you forced me to smile in spite of……you know, when the devil is bothering us and people say” you just going through a storm”, I try to believe it……I know I believe it…but my faith was tested…….no, I am not out of my circumstance….but I feel myself getting stronger…….
RELATIONSHIPS/FRIENDS:
The word friend is very loose right here……I have a hard head…..and I try to see the best in people……the truth is though, you cant……and when that storm does come and you have those situations in your life that take you away from what people expect you be, you find out who really loves you…not cut for you, like you, or want to have sex with you….but LOVES you…..unconditionally……..to those that stood by me, prayed for me, and made sure I was okay, rather they were mad at me, upset with me, confused with me….once again, thank you……..
One thing I don’t discuss on my blog is my relationship status….and I don’t really want to know because I don’t want anyone to think I am calling them out or putting them on blast…….but hell, it is my blog isn’t it??........its hard trying to settle down with someone when you can stand on your own two…….I have allowed myself to be my own worse crutch………but in these past few days, I realized a lot about relationships……..you know what?...ima leave it at that……….
GOD:
“Something about the name Jesus”……..I know my faith has been built as of late……even went on a fast…..one of the hardest things I have ever done…but He told me to distance myself…..and I did…..and in that meantime, I did increase my faith…..I have been going to church…..I have had a more praying life nowadays…….and that’s the key…as much as I breathe, I need to pray….now everything else I talked about tied together……..some people left, some people came, some things, I totally stopped, and things are working themselves out….as much as I take time to say how good my God is, I have to really digest that….and its hard…I’m used to being mean, selfish, shallow, invincible, scared, lonely, hurt, and hated…..but why??......and why must I continue to think this is the direction my life will take…….
I found myself crying a lot…….and I definitely wasn’t used to that!!...was it because of my grandmother?....was it because of my multiple eviction notices?...or the lack of food in my fridge?......it’s easy to make these the reason….I thought I was having some type of mid life crisis…..God was just breaking down my soul……….for so long, I refused to show any emotions……”it is what it is”…..but its not…and we can change what it is if we try……….and that’s my starting block…….all the pain, the animosity, the frustrations…..they will be there…..I just cant let them take reign over my soul……..
Thank you all for being there for me……and thank you for those that prayed for me….and thank you to those that chose not to deal with my foolishness……..I am glad you showed me your true colors….and I don’t fault you at all………Essential Entertainment, and myself will be better for it……guns are blazing…..life is a journey……and I will never say I QUIT!!!!...........
Well, I hope to see you all tomorrow at Rolls Royce…….yes, I’m still hosting open mics….even that became a source of anguish for me……but I got through it……if you know anybody that needs $250 in their life, tell them to bring their butts to 9220 Skillman Street by 9:00 tomorrow night…….
I love yall….I so really do………
