New Blogs Coming Soon.....Stay Tuned

Just a quick video about my upcoming blog series "Maaan Sit Yo Ass Down" in which I will pinpoint varying retarded behaviors out in the world and hit em with the "Maaan Sit Yo Ass Down". I will be back on my grizzy with all of my blogs and everything in a bit, just still on my hiatus/hibernation but once it's over...........that's all imma say, yall have a good one...DUECES!!!

My Hibernation (A Little Hiatus)

Ya boy Neo will be on a little break, not for any reason other than sometimes we have to regroup our thoughts, actions, etc and get that balance back so every now and then I have to go into recluse and hibernate (physically, mentally, & spiritually). Life can get demanding at times and between all this work and these projects, trying to figure out where my family and I will be moving to once my job moves futher into downtown, etc I am just exhausted. I just wont be around much so this is merely a heads up to those that actually care enough to wonder. Not saying I won't be in contact with my loved ones or even periodically poppin in and out online but the steady influx of blogs, Facebook posts, & YouTube videos will be kind of at a stand still until I sort some things out. No I am not stressing or ready to choke nobody I just need some time to cleanse the system a little that's all (which we all should do from time to time to get that focus back we tend to lose), so I don't want no one bugging out cause it's not even like that. It may be 2 weeks, 2 months, who knows but when I come back it will be ON!!! I'll be back with the Old School joints of the day & Neo's REALTALK 101 for Facebook, some more videos for my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/mrallenakaneo and the blogs cause I have some great ideas for some new topics. Oh and for all my Joe Budden fans I will be doing a special "30 Days Of Budden" to highlight 30 of his best tracks in my eyes so that those that either don't know about him or understand him can get a better understanding as to why we go so hard for the homie Joey...plus I have that blog about those infamous "FUCK MY LIFE (FML)" people that dont appreciate the air that they breathe so stay tuned. See you all when I awake from my hibernation, DUECES

Special Guest Blogger: Reasy from "Stumbling & Rumblings"

Okay so I was going to go into this full detail and write this extensive blog about what I thought about Tyler Perry's new movie "Why Did I Get Married Too?" but after careful deliberation I decided against it because I already know most won't even get what I am trying to say and I also don't want a bunch of angry people running up on me cause they loved the movie. Was it a bad movie, naw it wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either and no where near as dope as the 1st one but that folks is just my opinion. I am going to leave this one to my homie Reasy and his blog http://threefoureighty.clipz-status.com/?p=725 because he pretty much summed up everything that I felt in regards to this movie so sit back and enjoy the read below:

SIDENOTE: I did notice how Tyler made the portrayal of the women with a very subliminal touch of trying to educate, many won't even understand where I am going with that, THUS the reason I am not writing a full review of my own as it would be a waste of both your time and mine

**WARNING** May Contain Spoilers

So Saturday morning, I went to the movies to see said movie in the poster. So whenever a movie that is geared towards black audiences, the theaters tend to be jammed packed. Fine. Make sure you all do this for other Black film makers as well. Now I saw the first one on bootleg and when I watched it, it was different from what we saw in his previous movies. But you can always tell when you’re watching a Tyler Perry by the simplicity of it. To me it seems as if he doesn’t want to push the envelope in his movies. The writing and character development could stand to improve greatly.

For example, Angela (Tasha Smith) and Marcus (Michael Jai White) exchange about “Why Did I Get Married” should have left on the cutting room floor. Angela’s character annoyed me throughout the movie. I know that her character was written to be outspoken but acting like a plum fool throughout the movie make me cringe while sitting there. Patricia (Janet Jackson) and Gavin (Malik Yoba) seemed as if they couldn’t get over their issues that was preventing their marriage from improving. Sheila (Jill Scott) and Troy (Lahman Rucker) were adjusting to life in Atlanta. Of course they had their issues and thing got crazy when Sheila’s ex Mike (Richard Jones) showed up at the beach house to everyone’s dismay. And last but not least Dianne (Sharon Leal) and Terry (Tyler Perry) is suffering from emotional disappointment.

Now I’ve said this over and over again, Perry’s movies seem rushed. And as I watch, it jumps from one point to the next without letting that particular area grow. The jokes in the movie are meh. A lot of the audience howled in laughter while I sat there like huh? That’s funny? Then the scenes where Janet Jackson said she had to go to a dark place proved so. The anger, rage and raw emotion showed that when you push a Black woman too far, the results aren’t always positive. And come on now, Patricia screaming “Fix it!!” will not solve issues. If that’s the case, the Easy Button that Staples advertise would fix a lot of things.

Overall, the movie was tolerable. It’s like you seen one Tyler Perry movie, you’ve seen them all. It came in 2nd this weekend, doing $30 million. So that’s not bad.  - Reasy

"McNabb Traded To Redskins" (Dummy move of the year by the Eagles)

So let's 1st get the news out of the way, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins for a 2nd Round pick (Pick #37) in this year's NFL Draft and either a 3rd or a 4th rounder in next year's and all I am left with is.....HUH???? (keep in mind I am in no way, shape, or form a Philadelphia Eagles or Washington Redskins fan I just actually kinda like Donovan McNabb and these are just the ways that I feel)

This has to by far be the dummy move of the offseason every year there are a few but this one by far tops any this offseason. Okay I see the trade was needed after all the behind the scenes talk, the contract situation, the current QB situation etc but to trade him to a division rival, wait excuse me a HATED division rival is just retarded. Now you will have to face him twice a season and if you think for one minute he isnt coming to show yall up you are sadly mistaken. McNabb is a good QB regardless of the labels he carries such as "he can't win the big games" and "he doesn't have the heart of a champion" I mean the beat writers that say and start this stuff up are about as idiodic as the people that believe it. Classic case of the QB gets too much credit and too much blame...maybe the blame should be placed at Andy Reid's feet with his pedestrian offensive gamecalling and planning I mean the team throws much more than they run and I guess it's also McNabb's fault during all those times the past few seasons when the Eagles had like 3rd and 1 or 2 and couldn't get the yardage because the team isn't constructed to be a bang it inside and get the tough yards type of team.

This move is actually great in my eyes but only great for the Skins and McNabb himself. Personally I am so happy to see him get out of this city because they never appreciated him and what he was able to do as a QB, I mean they boo'd the guy to no end the night he was drafted...steadily ridicule and shit on him when the team doesn't do good but it shouldn't come as a surprise they do that to all of their teams out here in Philadelphia which is the reason why I hate their sports out here so very much. The moves made by Philly this offseason have been questionable at best but this one takes the cake I mean trading Donovan McNabb to a division rival and the Skins of all teams, I mean isn't it like an unwritten rule that you never trade a good player to your division rivals and in some instances not even your conference foes, SMH.

So no McNabb, no Westbrook (which his departure is a little more understandable) and now you turn your team over to Kevin Kolb??? Honestly people do you really think he is going to be "BETTER" than McNabb.....*holds up C'Mon Son sign and makes the Ed Lover face", I watch football religiously and I live in Philadelphia so unfortunately I have to suffer through Eagles games on a weekly basis (just because I love the game) and I have seen Kolb and nothing about him screams out this guy is ready to dethrone McNabb and lead the Eagles to the promise land, they are better off letting Vick have the job but they really don't want him anymore either but they can't unload him cause his trade value isn't that high. But everyone is so high off Kolb and I can't figure out why, same thing with that kid out in Seattle now...Charlie Whitehurst, I mean I would throw a few ideas out there but thats a whole other talk show...lol

It sucks to see a guy like McNabb blamed for everything, even as recent as the playoff loss to Dallas, no way in the blue hell was that all his fault...I mean yes he did play kind of buns but come on son they had no answers for Dallas and basically got outcoached and I challenge anyone to tell me otherwise. McNabb doesn't play defense, he didn't miss tackles on Miles Austin and Felix Jones (yeah I remember if you McNabb haters have selective memories). All I am saying with this whole blog is be careful what you ask for because you just may get it. You ask for McNabb to be gone, well no you have your wish but the options behind him aren't that good in my opinion and now what's going to happen is this Kolb kid now has all this ADDED pressure (like there isn't already enough playing in Philly) less talent around him than Donovan had and you are going to all expect miracles that will never come to pass and next year around draft time the headline in the Philly papers will read "What QB will the Eagles pick in this year's draft?". Now I could be wrong but generally when it comes to sports I am not. I wish Donovan McNabb nothing but the best and much success with his new team, he can also help to groom Jason Campbell should Shanahan decided to keep the young dude who like McNabb has great talent but gets blamed waaaaaaay too much for subpar team play.

So  to both the Eagles and Redskins fans I wish both of your teams well this coming year and I will tell you all this much I will be watching the Eagles games this year just to see them fall on their faces, just to see the reactions of all the McNabb haters within the city of Philadelphia ESPECIALLY all those corny sportswriters half of which never know what in the flying fuck they are talking about. I will be paying extra close attention to the Eagles/Redskins games this season to watch McNabb demolish the Eagles, namely when the Skins come to Philly I may even have to get tickets to go see that game with a McNabb jersey on just for kicks...LMAO Again this is a dummy move by the Eagles yet great move for McNabb and the Skins, now Donovan can go somewhere where his talents will be appreciated, where his play and the heightened level of the teammates around him will be elevated and noticed, where he won't be boo'd when he is selected in the draft, where every newspaper and writer won't label him....Good Luck #5
