Growing Up Ghetto Indeed
So this past weekend was so boring for me. The elevator doesn’t work so I was pretty much stranded in my own house (can you believe that?) But keep in my mind I live on the third floor so it’s not like I can’t walk down the steps. Keyword I, my mom leg is messed up so she couldn’t do nothing for the whole weekend. So this is where I come in I had to run errands for my mom (Which I had no problem with) But the actual problem was that it was beyond HOT and I had just got my hair done (yep sounding like a diva right now which is something I am not trust me.) and my hair got sweated out I could not believe it I just got it done. But what do I expect? Heat and long flowing pressed out hair don’t mix. It’s funny because the weather now for this week is still hot but not like it was this past weekend. And plus I’m broke so I have to wait till the first of the month just like all the other ghetto people in this neighborhood ( I’m a Uppity Black just in case you don’t know) I am too outdone right now I’m about to pop in this Jay- Z mix tape to kill my boredom.

Job Hunt Blues Part 1
So because I became desperate I applied for a job at Best Buy. I was going to Best Buy anyway so I was like I’ll try it, the security guard there told me to apply online. So that’s what I did yesterday and so many questions I had to fill out. I’m waiting for them to get back to me but I already know I won’t get the job and it’s not like I really want to work there but I just felt hey I like electronics and it’s a electronic store why not LOL. Stores I really don’t want to work at but something to start me off at least I guess. To be continued...

Q&A with Aaron McGruder, Creator of "The Boondocks
Through nefarious and unscrupulous ways AllHipHop.com has hijacked an exclusive interview with Aaron McGruder from his own boondocksbootleg.com. McGruder rarely does interviews and this was the easiest way to obtain it so we got it. Don't ask how. This a partial interview for your reading pleasure. We're hoping to obtain a second part soon. Wish us luck!
BB: So thanks for sitting down with us. We’re pretty excited about this because we know you don’t really like doing interviews anymore. What made you talk to boondocks bootleg?
AM: It’s my website. So hopefully I can stop anything from going out that, you know... Might start trouble.
BB: Maybe. But isn’t most of your career based on trouble?
AM: I don’t know. Some of it. But at a certain point I just decided I was a private person and stopped doing press. I stopped doing interviews, stopped doing lectures. It killed my book sales [laughs], not that those were ever very good... but yeah, I prefer to speak through the work. There isn’t any dignified way to be famous anymore.
BB: Okay. So you don’t mind if the show causes trouble.
AM: Yeah, that’s different. The Boondocks is always gonna cause a little trouble I guess.
BB: Do you miss the comic strip and the ability to comment on the day to day news, or is that what made you launch the new website.
AM: Well, to be honest, while I was writing the show I didn’t have time to do anything else, so no I didn’t miss it at all. But when we launched the new site it seemed like a natural kind of transition back to the kind of thing I used to do with the strip... just without all the drawing and the deadlines which is good. But it’s been fun. I don’t really run this site --
BB: Yes, I know.
AM: I’ve wanted to have a site like this for a long time... I just never personally had the time to do it. I wish I had done this ten years ago and stuck with it. So it seemed like with the show coming back it was a good time to launch it.
BB: Oh yeah, that thing. Speaking of which, trailer looks great.
AM: You have to say that, you work for me.
BB: Yeah, but people seem to really like it. What are you thoughts on the season 3 so far? Is it finished?
AM: You know it’s not finished, you work here --
BB: Dude, it’s for the interview.
AM: Right, my bad. Okay.
BB: We’re pretending like I don’t know --
AM: No, I get it. Okay, so... No, the season’s not finished yet. I’ve seen a maybe nine completed episodes.
BB: Okay, so I think what everyone wants to know is, what the f**k, why did it take so long to come back?
AM: Yeah. Well... okay. The show is incredibly complicated to produce. Everyone kept saying the show was delayed, but I kept thinking, “no, we knew it was going to take this long. ” Part of the problem is me. The writing process takes nearly a year all by itself.
To Be Continued…

Michael Jackson's Housing Debt Weighs on Estate, Heirs
Michael Jackson lives on through a mountain of real estate debt still on the books at the one-year anniversary of his passing. Due to this and other deficits, his personal estate's money woes remain steep and still affect the family members he left behind.
With little liquidity floating around, eyes are on Jackson's real estate holdings.
So far, the Jackson family home, a 5-bedroom 7-bathroom, 10,476-square-foot home at 4641 Hayvenhurst Ave; in Encino, Calif., where his mother, Katherine, lives, has managed to avoid foreclosure. But just in the nick of time.
The save comes thanks to the roughly $200 million that the singer has brought in posthumously in the 12 months following his death. But while renewed popularity in Jackson's music has helped pay off debt, by no means are his plethora of properties in the clear -- a harsh reality that could affect Jackson's three children and his 80-year-old mother.
Come December 2010, the pop star's estate is expected to fork over $300 million of the $500 million debt that the Smooth Criminal and Thriller singer owes due to over-the-top spending throughout his life and, most excessively, in his final years.
By the end of 2010, Barclays PLC expects the matured $300-million loan that they gave Jackson to be paid in full.
In addition to the Encino home, Jackson's other costly and famed real estate is his Neverland Ranch at 5225 Figueroa Mountain Road in Los Olivos, Calif., a property that sits on 2,676 acres near Santa Barbara. Neverland was bailed out of foreclosure by Colony Capital LLC, an L.A. real estate investment firm that bought the note and placed the estate in a joint venture with Jackson back in 2008. (Colony takes care of the ranch's overhead, maintenance and tax costs.) It's currently not for sale and experts say it most likely will not be converted into a tourist attraction like Graceland, Elvis Presley's opulent pad.
There's also the family's home from Michael's childhood in Gary, Ind., at 2300 Jackson St.
A condo owned by Jackson near the Encino enclave was four months late on loan payments and homeowner dues, so was also allegedly in danger of foreclosing until it was recently paid off. At the time of his death, Jackson was living in a rented mansion in Holmby Hills, a high-end L.A. neighborhood near Bel Air.
Despite his various financial holdings, at the time of his death Jackson was plagued with unpaid bills. The Encino home, which was slated to foreclose on the day after Jackson died, had outstanding debts that included thousands of dollars in utility bills. Several months had passed without anyone, be it Jackson, his mother, or any other Jackson family members making a payment. Besides Katherine and the singer's three children, the offspring of two of Michael's brothers also live in the family home.
For a family that has amassed such massive wealth, the Jacksons were in danger of being without running water because of only $9,000 owed to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Their phone/cable/internet service was nearly disconnected because $1,300 was left unpaid.
Another lesson, perhaps, on the dangers of overextending yourself in property ownership.
