Dear You:
I have spent a lot of time thinking should I write to you about the feelings I have inside. This letter I am writing is not meant to hurt you. I do know that by the end of your reading, that feeling may become apparent. So I am here to apologize before hand. Over the course of our relationship, I have loved you like no other and you, in return, have given me the strength to push on when I thought all was lost. There have been times when I thought, “why me”? And there you are to comfort me and to ask without saying any words, “why not”? I have never had someone so persistent in winning my heart and capturing my soul like you have. Perfection is a word used too loosely nowadays, but you, define the word perfect to a tee. I am grateful for all you have done and for the things I know you are going to do: that is, if you stay around.
I guess I should get this out of the way and let you know I have been cheating on you. I can’t say that I loved someone as much as I have loved you, but I have taken my focus off my love to you and given my attention to someone else. Do I blame you? In a strange was, yeah. Even though I know I am in control of my actions, it was you that decided when you wanted to be there for me. Sometimes when I tried to talk to you, I never got a response. I felt ignored and unloved. You know how much I long for attention. There would be times you would see me crying and not once did you give me the solace or comfort I desired. I did it out of spite and anger. I chose not to care about the consequences, because to me, I was dead to you. I was an after thought. You had way too many people in your world to care about me. I know my impatience was selfish, and I am learning how to deal with it.
There is an old adage that says “you never miss a good thing until it’s gone” and even though I am capable of handing you this letter, I already feel like you are gone. I feel empty without your presence in my life. The way you joked with me, gave me advice and wisdom. How you looked out for me in trying times. It’s easy to remember these things now, seeing how I was so shallow to forget theses very same things when times got hard. Love is supposed to cover a multitude of things and I feel guilty for not knowing which things it covers. I remember you telling me how cold and callous I was just dropping people from my life. How unremorseful I would act by placing blame for our division. I always promised you that you would not be like the same. I vowed not to treat you like the rest. In the end, I did the very thing I swore not to. I do feel bad about it. And I still think, if you would have just listened to my heart, this could have been avoided. If you would have believed me when I said I needed you, we would still be together. HOW COULD YOU JUST NOT ANSWER MY HEART!!??!!
You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m dying now. Not in the emotional stage. My life has been shortened by my transgressions. I don’t know how much longer I have to tell you what’s in my heart. That is the point of it all. That is the reason I decided to reach out to you now. I don’t want the extra burden of not letting you know how much I love you. Not how much I loved you but I still love you. Every tear, every drop of sweat, every breath of you body, I crave. I hope that you will find the love that is equivalent to what you give. My soul feels better letting this out, but I know I should have done it earlier. I don’t have a clue where our lines of communication got tangled and I know that we both gave our all at a point. Now it doesn’t matter. Remember me for the good times and for the things I did right. Remember me for the person you saw before all this got crazy. Remember me for the person that treated you like royalty. It may not change the past. It may even confuse the future. But for today, know the truth. I LOVE YOU…………..
SIGNED,
ME

I LOST IN TUG OF WAR TO AN OCTOPUS!!
Good evening to my friends…how are you all doing today??...I am still on a high from last night!!.......the Essential Entertainment family went down to Waco and made history!!!....wow!!........now I have to get ready to rock Mambo Café tonight….and of course, I cant wait for that either……such a busy week……such a productive week…and we will top it off this Sunday with the Essential Victory concert!!........I hope you all are feeling as good as I am feeling right now…….
Well the backlash continues…..today, my frat brother was relieved of his duties here at work….now the reason behind it is still vague…I have heard two different stories…but my theory is…….its because of “the letter” from last week……now you may ask how does that letter have anything to with this guy getting terminated…..well, hear me out……the manager that was in question, was removed from her position and put in a different department…….no matter if this was the right or wrong thing to do…(believing if it was somebody else, they may have been terminated), there could have possibly been some anger towards the “middling workers”…..vengeance will be somebody’s………letters like that will be used to keep order in a workplace…..so now, if you screw up the least bit, you will be reprimanded….once something of that magnitude is uncovered, everything hits the fan……dotting I’s and crossing T’s if you will…..now is the time where you have to watch everything you do…all they need is a reason……..
I have a car that doesn’t run….2011 Cadillac Convertible……I have four tires but only two on the axle…..my engine is laying in the grass, and my steering wheel wont turn…….I haven’t used my turn signal in ages and the trunk wont open……
I know this old man….he has a 1967 green Chevy Pinto….possibly, the ugliest car I have ever seen…….but under the hood is a beauty……and he keeps up the maintenance……and he has never had any engine failure……and drives wherever he goes…….
IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH!!!...........
Sometimes we think because it looks good, it is good…..sometimes we get complacent or expect certain things to “just be”……..we have to understand that no vehicle can run properly without the proper parts and no company can function without that same unity……if we even take a look at the Cleveland Cavaliers this season….yes they had the MVP of the league on their team……but they didn’t have the best team……when you are working with people, you all have to have a common goal….thank goodness cars don’t have egos…imagine the life of new rims……fresh tint, or even a sound system….every time I drove past a beautiful woman, my music would go up, my brakes would stop and my spinners kept spinning, or my engine would idle to show off its horsepower…….yes, God created us with all individual talents…….but sometimes, we have to put away the individual for the collective………
Last night was evidence of this…..everyone that was with us did not perform a song…..but, everyone performed…..we went down to Waco as a unit, carried ourselves as a family, and was received as superstars….if we would have went down their with only our own gains as the intention, it would have showed and we could have possibly wasted a chance of a lifetime……stop thinking about how great YOU are all the time…..start think about how great WE are when dealing with your business partners, in whatever avenue…..IN UNITY, THERE IS STRENGTH………
THIS SUNDAY……THE MOST EXPLOSIVE CONCERT OF THE YEAR!!!.....THE ESSENTIAL VICTORY TOUR HEADLINED BY SPACESHIP OHAYSES AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….ALSO PERFORMING WILL BE SKYRON, MR. PROBLEM, DEREK DAIDER, WYZE, ALSACE, MOMU ENT., AND CHAMP……WE WILL BE ROLLS ROYCE…9220 SKILLMAN STREET IN NORTH DALLAS…DOORS OPEN AT 3PM…….TICKETS ARE $10 IN ADVANCE AND $15 AT THE DOOR……..WE ARE RAISING MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY!!!...DONT MISS OUT!!!!!........
I am so excited!!...the way God has positioned this show and helping everything move forward is so awesome….I was truly nervous about this event, but its amazing how having confidence in Jesus will change everything…….I am not the least bit worried about what is going to happen this Sunday….I know we will have a great turn out and everyone will definitely enjoy themselves….if you are not doing anything, come on out and fellowship…help a family and support the community!!!.......
Well, I think I am about to wrap this up…..so here it is for today my friends……Rika’s Quote of the Day……….
“The best way to guide your own behavior is to make a commitment to always be a good example”
If you are doing right, you shouldn’t have to worry about if you are doing wrong……..
Shout outs to my man Hale…haven’t heard from you in a sec so I just wanted to put that out there…told Castro I expect to see yall this Sunday…….any excuses??.....totally don’t want to hear them…….need you to stay in my ear…God has a purpose for you in my life!!!...........
Love yall!!!

GET YOUR OWN GPS!!!
I almost forgot to write today….been tweeting, working, face booking, and everything else today…….how are you all doing?....I am still sleepy….5 in the afternoon and I need a powernap like never before……but of course, I will not be getting one……I hope I come to you all in good spirits………I am doing well……had a weird night…..was going to speak on it but not sure now…….and tonight is another day in the adventures of Spaceship Ohayses…………
Tonight, Essential Entertainment’s own, Derek Daider will be live in concert in Waco…..I cant wait to see him perform in front of his hometown……to make things sweeter, ya boy Spaceship Ohayses will also be getting a piece of the spotlight…..not much though…..its not about me…….the whole camp is car pooling down there and I am really excited about tonight’s event………..one thing I am learning is that there is unity in strength……….
I will be performing at the Mambo Café downtown tomorrow night….ladies free before 11….this is a very nice club and if you want to come and chill and enjoy yourself, this would be the place to be………its on Lamar Street....sorry for not knowing the address off hand…..
And Sunday……THE MOST EXPLOSIVE CONCERT OF THE YEAR!!!.....THE ESSENTIAL VICTORY TOUR HEADLINED BY SPACESHIP OHAYSES AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….ALSO PERFORMING WILL BE SKYRON, MR. PROBLEM, DEREK DAIDER, WYZE, ALSACE, MOMU ENT., AND CHAMP……WE WILL BE ROLLS ROYCE…9220 SKILLMAN STREET IN NORTH DALLAS…DOORS OPEN AT 3PM…….TICKETS ARE $10 IN ADVANCE AND $15 AT THE DOOR……..WE ARE RAISING MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY!!!...DONT MISS OUT!!!!!........
Not really going to touch on much today…….time is not on my side and I have to make sure I am out of here on time…..but I do want to touch on a something…….I was talking to one of the members of Essential Entertainment and we are trying to get on the same page as far as our vision…..I told them, in order to be a great leader, you have to be a great follower…and I don’t mean on twitter……so many times…myself included, we want to be the top dog….the head honcho…..the BMOC……it doesn’t work like that……when I placed myself on a pedestal, God quickly removed me…….and when you are removed quickly, it hurts a lot more……..I have to continue to allow myself to learn and take a back seat when needed……even last night…I wanted so bad to grab the mic and work the crowd to my liking……but what I did was pay attention….I listened to other MCs on the mic while they were getting the crowd hype…..some of the things he was saying, the mannerism, the songs……that’s not me….but if I want to be the best……..I have to know how to keep a crowd hype…not just the people in the crowd that get me and my style…but everyone…….so I sat back and chilled…and when I was able to get on the mic, I practiced…….I made sure I covered my bases on the things I was learning……and no one knew I was sharpening my skills….
Well, ima cut yall a break today…pray for our safety on this trip……I hope to see you all sometime this week.....a few of you, I expect to see….and more than likely, I will call you out BY NAME on this blog…….so you may want to confirm with me before then………
And here it is……….Rika’s Quote of the Day……………
“You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.”
Shout outs to my girl Rika…she is going on to greener pastures at her workplace and I pray that God guides you and leads you in the right direction……..as long as you have email at your new gig, I’m good!!!..........

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR WITH NO FACE
Wow!!.......it’s crazy how we can feel ourselves getting in a rut….and its easier to not realize when we are out of it…….its all a matter of perception…….how are you all doing this hot afternoon??......well its hot here in Dallas…the locals would call it “normal”……..I am feeling so good right now…..alot of beautiful things are happening in my life insofar as Essential Entertainment is concerned……the team is looking strong……everyone is getting on the same accord……and I am truly seeing the growth in each and everyone of us…..including myself……God has righted my disposition and shown me the errors of my ways……..now, I am prepared to take on the objectives he has set forth for me…not saying I wasn’t before……but I have had a work out……and I have been lifting mental weights…….
Can you say you don’t believe in something even if its contents have some truth??.......a few weeks ago I did one of those “what does your name say about you” quizzes on face book…….I cant remember everything it said about me, but there was two things that really struck a nerve…….it said that I am lazy……and it said that I like to avoid conflict……meaning if there is something I need to do, I will bypass it or ignore it instead of addressing it………and I agree…….I have found myself getting way too lazy……..my mental says the work isn’t hard…..whether it be cleaning my crib, cooking, handling EE business, or coming to work……but my body says rest, lay down and procrastinate…..find something else to occupy my time……..now when I get home, I try to force myself to handle business….instead of being on said face book or playing poker, I could be downloading pictures….adding to the websites…….networking with people……..its a bad habit that I have…always been used to working under pressure…..even in college, I didn’t write a report until the night before; two nights at the earliest……and it has made me complacent…..those words that I read forced me to create a wedge between what I read and what is the truth…..I don’t want to be known, even in my mind, as a man with great talents but a horrible work ethic………
And then the avoiding conflict statement…….very, very true……no matter how mean some people think I am….I don’t like to be a mean person…….sometimes it is hard for me to make tough decisions…….and I never want to burn a bridge…….I think I over think situations at times…….wondering how I will be perceived…..I remember even when I was married, I allowed my wife to leave….I knew our tenure was ending……I knew we didn’t have a relationship…instead of being vocal, I waited….and when she finally did leave, I was relieved………and I could say it wasn’t my fault……or I could say she was the one that left…..it was easier for me to point her as the cause of our divorce…….knowing that we both hurt our marriage, she was the one that left……..its my defense mechanism…….all my life, I have been used to people leaving me…being fed up with me not assimilating to their wants and needs….and when they get tired of it, they go……even associates….they would use me for what they could…..money, popularity, attention, a hang out spot, rides…….and when they didn’t need me anymore, they go…….so I have always figured, if I hang in there long enough, the next person will go…….now that I think about it, I do that a lot………smdh…….
FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL THE MOST EXPLOSIVE CONCERT OF THE YEAR!!!.....THE ESSENTIAL VICTORY TOUR HEADLINED BY SPACESHIP OHAYSES AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….ALSO PERFORMING WILL BE SKYRON, MR. PROBLEM, DEREK DAIDER, WYZE, ALSACE, MOMU ENT., AND CHAMP……WE WILL BE ROLLS ROYCE…9220 SKILLMAN STREET IN NORTH DALLAS…DOORS OPEN AT 3PM…….TICKETS ARE $10 IN ADVANCE AND $15 AT THE DOOR……..WE ARE RAISING MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY!!!...DONT MISS OUT!!!!!........
Some of you may know, I am always concerned about the turn out of any function I have……I am a very competitive person….at my job, I figure most of the people up here don’t support me…..yeah, a lot of them say what they are going to do…..when it comes down to it, they typically have a reason why they didn’t show up…and truth is, it gets me down at times…..until now……LET GO AND LET GOD!!.......I am believing that if he wants this program to run as awesome as I believe it will, that is one less worry I have on my shoulders…..its still crazy to me how people doubt your dream……actually, its not…….and I will no longer have a pity party up here when I get asked how my functions went….Dallas is a huge city and I know that more than enough people will come out and support the show….and we can all be believers in unison once you see the concrete evidence of God’s greatness towards me!!...........
I’m about to leave but I have something very important to say to women…….ladies, if you are calling a guy…and he never has time for you until one day…..then you guys go on a date, “get together”, or even converse on the phone for a long time……don’t get mad when you don’t hear from him the next day…..he was busy before yall kicked it and I guarantee he is going to be busy after that kick it moment………its amazing how women think one day of pleasure is going to make a man sit down and spend his free time with you…..so please, don’t ask me why he hasn’t called you…….he’s probably doing what he is always doing!!..........
And now ladies and gentlemen………Rika’s Quote of the Day……………
“Instead of overreacting, try under reacting because this response shows wisdom, patience, and peace.”
Shout outs to my girl Donna…….I promise I will do better and stay in contact with you……..you are so awesome to always check up on me……I better see you this weekend!!!

MY LIFE, YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!!!
SIX MORE DAYS UNTIL THE MOST EXPLOSIVE CONCERT OF THE YEAR!!!.....THE ESSENTIAL VICTORY TOUR HEADLINED BY SPACESHIP OHAYSES AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….WE WILL BE ROLLS ROYCE…9220 SKILLMAN STREET IN NORTH DALLAS…DOORS OPEN AT 3PM…….TICKETS ARE $10 IN ADVANCE AND $15 AT THE DOOR……..WE ARE RAISING MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY!!!...DONT MISS OUT!!!!!........
U know I had to throw that out there…….seems like I have a lot on my plate again…..this time around, I’m going to let other people eat as well though……how are you all doing today?...I pray you had a great weekend…I know I sure did!!.....but I did learn that me…and heat…are not a perfect combination……I know for sure I have to repent for my sins…because if its this hot in hell, I don’t wanna go…….and they said its dark down there too….hot and dark?....nah, I’m good……matter of fact…how is it dark if there is fire all around?............just a question……….
I had band practice this weekend……you talking about fun??!!!.......it was the best exercise I have ever had………I wish I could have stayed longer……I mean, I would still be practicing if it was up to me….well, at least when we were in the house on Saturday…..on Sunday, we practiced on top of an apartment complex…..that was so awesome….folks so nosey, they couldn’t help but see what all the noise was…and there goes a crowd….so you know I had to get down…..then I realized that we were closer than I usually am…….not a great feeling…..going 110% in 90 degree weather may not be the best idea…for future references………if you get a chance, check out practice on you tube: www.youtube.com/spaceshipohayses
The other day I was talking to this young lady and she was attempting to charge me up for knowing so many females…….I thought about it for a second and realized she missed one important fact…..I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE PERIOD…….after much consideration….(I really didn’t think about it that much, it just sounds better)……….I came to the grips that I know somebody in almost every state……..is that a bad thing?......I don’t think so…you never know when and where you may get a layover….and you never know where God will take you……the thing is……women talk more than men……..and I am somewhat of an advice column whether I want to come to grips of if or not…….I’m like a talk show via blog…..and I don’t have many guests…besides me…and people I choose to write about………last week, I put on my facebook a topic about women going through their man’s phone……now the women….they made sure they responded on my page…the guys…..they sent a message to my inbox………half of them probably realized they didn’t want to jump in that discussion with a bunch of rowdy woman….don’t blame them one bit……I didn’t agree either….I just posted it……
Why is it that women always want to know the why??.........that’s not a question I am good with myself…….I do a lot of things…….some just at the spur of my brain……and I honestly don’t think about it…..if I don’t want to talk to you, do I have to have a viable reason?.........wanting to know the why hurts a lot……if my girl cheats on me, it is what it is…….even at work…we see stats on the last day of the month….then two weeks letter we get the “final stats” for the month…..alot of times, they aren’t the same…and some people wanna know they why……and guess what?...most officers up here don’t have the answer…and they give us the run around…and people get frustrated because they know we are being lied to…….but a person saying “I don’t know” usually doesn’t suffice…..so we complain….we moan….and we get aggravated………all because we wanted to know the why………
So I have been writing this blog for over a year now….and you know the one thing that amazes me?.......how people say they don’t know what’s going on in my world until I write something about them…..then, out of the blue, I’m getting text messages…..emails….phone calls….remarks on facebook…..and even people that are not subscribers know what’s going on………to you people….I want to thank you today…….no, I may not know all of you out there that is doing this, but I have to say…….its better to be talked about than not…..and I know when I do see you, you will respond the same way you always have been….very fake……now you ask yourself, “Spaceship, are you venting or taking shots?”…….no……I had a small talk with someone that is a subscriber last night and it really put things into perspective……..when you treat people as important…..meaning friends, relationships, boos, and things of that sort……they will make you feel important……sometimes by simply letting me know the bought a song or ring tone…….or acknowledging they read the blog…….but when they feel less than…..they will attempt to ignore you and your purpose…..but the truth is, they can’t……because they are now a part of it……whether they want to admit it or not, they will continue to keep up with me….juuuusst in case, I happen to make it big…….they can come back into the fold as if they were supporting me the whole time…….I got it now though…its all good…..I already know who they are…….my remember is not all the way gone………TRUTH………..
Trying to figure out what I am going to eat tonight……….I made some awesome hamburgers yesterday, but I’m tired of ground beef……spaghetti, tacos, meatloaf, sloppy Joes, hamburgers………I think ima cook a duck and some dressing tonight, watch wrestling and then head to my homeboy’s album release party……..yeah…..that’s what ima do………or either some oxtails and cabbage………
Well I am about to tuck my tail up out of here…….and for those that get it…….here is Rika’s Quote of the Day………………………..
“Today picture yourself as the happiest person that you know and watch how contagious this enthusiasm for life is.”
I am learning that…….I used to have an infectious attitude towards life…….always happy……so jubilant that people thought I was high…..(well I could have been)…….when things starting hitting the decline, I saw my attitude changing and the people around me……I feel bad for it…..and now….with prayer three times a day…..I see myself in better spirits…..its a mind state…..how you feel inside will reflect how you look on the outside…….you cant love thy neighbor if you don’t love thyself!!!!........
Shouts out to my man Drama tha King……..check out his new mix tape and everything he is working on…….sorry I had to leave early bro……my face was hurting………
Love yall!!!!

U know I had to throw that out there…….seems like I have a lot on my plate again…..this time around, I’m going to let other people eat as well though……how are you all doing today?...I pray you had a great weekend…I know I sure did!!.....but I did learn that me…and heat…are not a perfect combination……I know for sure I have to repent for my sins…because if its this hot in hell, I don’t wanna go…….and they said its dark down there too….hot and dark?....nah, I’m good……matter of fact…how is it dark if there is fire all around?............just a question……….

MENTALLY HANDICAPPED..AND STILL GOT A TICKET!!
I’m thinking I should write a little earlier on Fridays……people are not going to stick around the j.o to wait on my writings…and being perfectly honest, I wouldn’t either……..how are you all doing today?........I am incredibly sleepy right now….and I went to bed around twelve……after I got home from ft worth………but I think I know what happened…around 3, I woke up with a migraine……head was pounding….and I couldn’t truly go back to sleep to get that dynamic rest…….got to work and took a BC so I am feeling better in that regard………and then when I did get up this morning, by looking at the sky, I was sure it was going to rain……to my surprise, it ended up being 1000 degrees today…….and heat drains me too……..
I want to thank you all for the great feedback on the blog……sometimes, I do wonder as to whom is reading….who is digesting……and who really cares…..I think that is one of the downfalls of being an entertainer……and lately, I have been getting a lot of emails thanking me for the words I type…..I want to say now, don’t thank me……I am only a vessel used by God to say things that we already know…..its not just me and the things I go through……we all have this book called life and it takes some chapters to get through the end…….even in kid books, a conflict arises…..all I try to do is give some insight on what I do to get over the hump….sometimes good, sometimes bad…….sometimes, I allow things to get worse than what it is……but through it all, I still have joy!!...and of course you guys……..going back and reading some of these blogs show me a great journey…….and it does encourage me to continue pushing forward…….
After reading ole girl’s resignation letter yesterday, I definitely am more conscience of spell check….but to those that laughed at her…..spell check doesn’t help if you spell the wrong word right!!!........
Most people have vehicles…..most people know that there are places where they can’t park…there are signs that show us where we can or can not place our car…if we do, there are consequences…….sometimes, we receive a parking citation….sometimes we can get towed…..and even in rare instances, we can get our vehicles broken into…wrong time, wrong place….
I guess what I am trying to say is……DON’T PARK THERE!!!.....in our lives, we sometimes park our souls in places where we have no business…whether it’s a relationship, friends, jobs, or our environment……and then we wonder why things are not going the way they should…we wonder why our hearts are being towed and stored for us to redeem….because we lost it……we were in such a haste to do what WE need/want to do, we failed to think about the ramifications of our actions……in life, we all have a role to play…and when we fail to stay within that order and go against the parameters given to us, discourse is soon to follow……we then have a tendency to blame everyone else for our ill advised fate…when the finger of our own hands should make a direct U-turn………
And even when we do park, we need to be cognizant that eventually, we have to move……if your car stays parked too long, there is a possibility your vehicle can be….broken into, vandalized, stolen, a letter taped to it, towed, and even your gas can disappear…….we cant allow ourselves to stay in the same place too long…we must forever continue driving towards success and making every possible effort to keep our vehicle from being harmed……..
Its not a tough task…we must realize that every action has a reaction….every cause has an effect…….and every course has a destination……..sometimes, we do the things we do simply because of laziness….we don’t try to compromise or become better due to habit……we are selfish, spoiled, and angry creatures…..after all, we are animals…..but we all have brains….which gives us the opportunities to make wise decisions……if you are trying to get somewhere….if you are looking to journey to a place you have never been before…..or if you are simply attempting to get back to where you once were….DONT PARK THERE!!!........
SUNDAY, MAY 30TH, ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINEMTN WILL BE HAVING ITS FIRST “ESSENTIAL VICTORY CONCERT” AT ROLLS ROYCE…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, ALSACE, WYZE, DEREK DAIDER, MOMU ENT., CHAMP, MR PROBLEM, SKYRON, AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….PROCEEDS WILL BE GOING TO A LOCAL CHARITY…..I DO ASK THAT YOU ALL CONTRIBUTE AND COME OUT TO THIS EVENT…….
All jokes aside, I really want to see you all there….even the people that don’t necessarily like me (I’m talking to you)……and the ones that only read the blogs when they pertain to them (yep, you too)……even if you cant make it, tell someone…you never know how this may affect you or your loved ones in the future………I am very excited about this event…..if you do need a ride, let me know….I will suggest that you ask some of your friends that do have a car to come with you and bring you…………
Fyi: in my opinion, there is not anything better than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread….with a cold cup of milk!!.......I’m just saying!!!.......
Okay, think I am almost done for the day…….so here we go!!!!........Rika’s Quote of the Day……….
“Grow and learn from every situation no matter how insignificant because to stand still is really going backwards.”
Shout out to my man Vincent Tucker…..I got you fam!!...let me know when you want me to come up to the station and we can make this happen….I appreciate you checking in on me every once in a while…hope to see you at the concert next Sunday!!!..........
Love yall!!!!!

SOMETIMES ITS NOT EVEN GRASS; MORE LIKE ARTIFICIAL TURF!!
Good evening beautiful people!!...I hope you are all doing good today…I am feeling grand…..still a little sore from yesterday, but I will be alright……I thought I was going to have to bash someone in this blog today….due to what I feel was a vey immature act….but knowing a little more about the situation, I will give my insight into the events that happened and hopefully, make since of this crazy world………
Now around 3 this afternoon, I notice one of my co-workers walking to the exit with three bags in her hand…..now I didn’t think anything of it…up here you can get Avon, Mary Kay, snacks for kids, or some people just realize they have too much stuff at their desk……I did sing “Bag Lady” in my head……but like I said, I didn’t think much in the way of drama……well nine minutes later, I received an email entitled, “FAREWELL”…….well, it was her resignation letter……and she sent it to the WHOLE COMPANY….Vice President included…….I couldn’t believe it….the hood in me has always heard about this happening and was cracking up on the inside thinking this woman had the gall to do such a stunt……at the bottom of the letter, she even had the audacity to put other places that were currently hiring……it was the talk of the building today…..I also found out that sent another email to her manager and other managers in her department detailing why she decided to make the choices she did…….to me, it was a big mistake……how dare she?....she must not be considering that if another job calls here for verification that they will tell what happened……
I also found out that what she was saying is true…and this is the problem with corporate America…..upper management never listened to her……other people on her team has quit for the same reasons as this young lady and nothing has been done to alleviate this cycle…..is it because they know how disposable we all truly are?.......does upper management really not care about its employees?.......its a very difficult thing to work for someone that will not listen to your problems……we all try to be content at our jobs……but reality is, if you are not the pimp, you are the hoe…….now, this young lady did not have the best “numbers” in the company, but a lot of people don’t have the best stats…….and there may be a reason why….one quote I have heard a lot lately is “where there is smoke, there is usually fire”………maybe her complaints are valid, and they pushed her over the brink……..in corporate world, we rarely have anyone truly to talk to about our issues…..yes, there is this thing called HR…..but seriously folks, whose side are they on?.........I know I have been to HR before and nothing was done…….and now, the fell off the cliff……..I hope she already has another start date somewhere else……..
SUNDAY, MAY 30TH, ESSENTIAL ENTERTAINEMTN WILL BE HAVING ITS FIRST “ESSENTIAL VICTORY CONCERT” AT ROLLS ROYCE…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, ALSACE, WYZE, DEREK DAIDER, MOMU ENT., CHAMP, MR PROBLEM, SKYRON, AND ONE NIGHT STAND…….PROCEEDS WILL BE GOING TO A LOCAL CHARITY…..I DO ASK THAT YOU ALL CONTRIBUTE AND COME OUT TO THIS EVENT…….
A lot of good things are happening for Essential Entertainment right now……next week is a full schedule of events for the team and I am really excited….I need to start stock piling sleep now….I actually went to bed right after the LAKERS won last night!!.......it felt weird but I had absolutely nothing to do……I did cook one of the best hamburgers of all time!!...two patties, grilled onions bacon, and A1 Sauce…yummy to my tummy!!...oh, my bad, tangent………next week, I need you all to com out and support…make sure you come out to the Mambo Café next Thursday as Spaceship Ohayses will be live in concert…also, the Essential Victory Concert will be held as stated above…….I am asking you guys to come check ya boy out!!...........
Had a talk with a good friend today….and we were discussing the difference between friends and those that say they are your friends…….and its big…….some people are there in your life masquerading as if they are there for you…….some people wish for your failure quicker than they wish for you to succeed…….I never want to be rude to people but its hard for me to detect at times….I am getting better at recognizing it……..and its allowing me to move past bs and focus more on what I need to accomplish as a CEO of a Fortune 500 company……..real friends support you…….clingers abandon you at the most opportune time for them…..life lessons………
Well its almost closing time here folks……I do want you to pray for my homegirl Destiny……she was in a car accident and I just ask that you give her strength during this time…btw, where the heck is Ms. Evans?????...I am so missing you??.......call me and let me know you are okay!!!...........
‘nother tangent…my bad…..here it is folks…….Rika’s Quote of the Day………..
“It’s very possible that our problems may not be as big as they seem and could sometimes actually be a blessing.”
That is very true….I am so learning that…………
Shout outs to my girl Ms. Williams……yes you……wow…I guess life does come full circle…….I appreciate you more than you may know…….you are pretty awesome!!...AND I KNEW YOU DIDN’T LIKE RED TOE NAIL POLISH!!!!!......
Love yall!!!!
