- My new favorite show on TV (of the few I watch anyways) is "How'd You Get So Rich?" on VH1 and TVLand. I get inspired by watching people who didn't play basketball or make music show off their ridiculous houses, cars, etc. I don't think the tv makes enough effort to let people know A)How much money is REALLY out there, and B)Most millionaires made their money with their MINDS.

- I, like about 5 million other people, downloaded Jay-Z's new Blueprint 3. Dude went in like he always does, but this is coming from someone who believes Jay is the best ever. Favorite tracks are "Thank You", "A Star is Born feat. J. Cole", and "Young Forever feat. Mr. Hudson". Is it just me or is Jay swaggerjackin Kanye again? Kanye had a record wit Coldplay. Jay had a record wit Coldplay. Kanye had a record wit Mr. Hudson. Jay has a record wit Mr. Hudson. (things that make you go hmmmmm...)

- I really, really, REALLY didn't wanna run today, but I dragged my a$$ outta the house and went ahead and did it. I didn't regret it. I'm of the opinion that discipline over body translates into discipline over other things in one's life. And it helps that you look good naked too right?

- Again, I, like about 4 million other people, listened to Drake's "Forever feat. Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Eminem". Most people say Eminem kilt it, but I think that Drake went the hardest. He just sounded more "hungry" than everyone else to me. Plus, I'm not really a fan of fast-rapping Em. Em was second-best tho. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised by the new material that I'm hearing from Drake. With his buzz at "Obama might run for the White House" status, I was assuming that the only way he could go was down. He's seemed to do the smart thing and stay his a$$ in the studio and insulate himself from the hype. Can't wait for his album.

- I revamped my resume today and I think it looks damn good! I've got a career-planning specialist reviewing it, and I'm thinking she'll give me the thumbs up!

- My second favorite show on TV is(was) the T.O. Show. The show did a great job of showing us "Terrell" as opposed to "T.O.", whom we all knew. But I did want to get a little more background on how in the hell he met Mo and Kita. Where in God's name did they come from? I think it's amazing that with all their diva antics and seeming "control" over T.O.'s life, the public has never seen or heard of them before.

- Listened to Trey Songz's new album "Ready" again today. Thought it was so-so the first time, but gave it a second chance and didn't regret it. Quality music. Favorite tracks "Does He Do It" and "Say Aaaah feat. Fabolous". Maybe this will be Trey's album that takes him from "consistent gold-seller" to "consistent platinum-seller".

- A few of these folks in the music industry are so very lucky I don't have a buddy pass. I swear I be havin the mind to hop on a plane and come see these foos. From sending me to voicemail when I'm callin about money YOU owe ME, to talkin gangsta on the phone, I swear some of these people don't wanna see me in person. I ain't Deebo, but I ain't Smokey neither. Respect it.
