The Introduction

So yesterday, May 7th marked the introduction.  I was in Barnes and Nobles and it hit me.  Why was I gonna buy another book.  I have 162 books in my house right now, 58 of which I still haven't read.  And here I was again about to buy someone else's views again, someone else's opinion yet again.  Not that I have anything against reading or buying a book.  What I'm saying is why not write my own shi*, I mean stuff.  

I stormed out.  Cause you know what?   This is a recession.  And somethings just got to get cut. Did you ever think you could read your way into the poor house?  I know for sure I have spent at least $1000 on books over the past three years.  Are you kidding me?  

So now I am in "Rockn' Joe" a coffee house on Rt. 27 in Kendall Park, NJ to bring my views to the masses.  To try to blow up on the internet.  Why not?  I'm just telling the truth, we all trying to get somewhere.  And what shall we talk about you ask?  "John what will be your angle?" 

I don't know.   And you know what? It's really not important!  Just tune in.  We may rap about sports, we may rap about the government, we my rap about women, men, the plight of African Americans, the inner city school situation, hell who cares!!  Cause you know what, we all got a voice and we all wanna read something.  Sometimes it may be inspiring and sometimes it may be depressing, but that is what life is about.  Take the good with the bad, the ups and the downs, the black and the white.  And the good thing is you don't have to hear my big mouth. You can hit that big X in the corner of your screen if you don't want to read anymore, or if you got an apple computer that red spot in the upper left hand side.  

Yeah that's it, freedom of expression.  And you have the freedom to not read.  But why wouldn't you?  If you don't know me you'll get to know me, cause I feel like I got a lot to say.   Been all over the world so that qualifies me right?  Who cares what you think?  I was asking myself.  I do that from time to time.  I talk to myself.  Cause I know whatever I say, I don't have to worry about a disagreement.  

The newspaper is on the verge of extinction.  Facebook, Linkedin, Myspace, Twitter you get all ya news right there.  Why turn on Channel 2 when I can go right to www.espn.com or www.msn.com or better yet right here and read Celestial Views?  

So that's it ladies and gentleman.  That's the introduction.  It gets better from here.  So much to talk about, so much time to do it.  The average life expectancy for black men is about 70 years old.  http://www.webmd.com/news/20080611/life-expectancy-reaches-new-record. Which means I got about 38 more years to write.  That's a lot of lines, words and experiences to share.  And I'm out!
