Okay... now I know it is just a start... but I am actually kinda hyped by Janet's new joint.  Also the album looks good so far.  It really sounds like she is going back to what made me love her for so long in the past. (Aside of course from the fact she still is hott and sexy as hell.)  I have the video on loop so every time I'm not busy at work I just flip back to get refocused. LOL   I mean this is on that great creative level you don't get from your average artist.  this one takes me back to "What's It Gonna Be" with Busta.

So I surf to MYyahoo page and read my horoscope this morning and today was one of those days it actuallly stood out in bold face letters......

January 07, 2008

1. Gemini (5/21-6/21)

   You might not be the smartest person in the room today, but your intellectual prowess will distinguish you. Speak up when a bad idea is being offered up for a vote. Use all your diplomatic ways to charm everyone into seeing things in a more productive way (your way). As long as you assume everyone is at least as smart as you, there is no way you can offend others. And if anyone's ego gets a bit bruised in the process, that's their problem -- it's certainly not yours.

I guess it was just the first sentence really. "You might not be the smartest person in the room today..."!  So I immediately started looking around comparing my branwaves to everyone else in the room... I WIN!!!! lol  No, seriously, I am a smart guy.  If anything I am an under achiever.  The funny thing is, even though I always tend to downplay my own abilities, for the most part people regard me as one of the "smarter" chaps in whatever environment I am in.  Honestly, I just pick up on stuff faster then most.  I think I get respect because I am not affraid to say when I don't know, but if it's something I want to know or feel I should I get the answer and retain it.  Never the less.... I AM the smartest cat in the room and on the block!  and the most wise!  Now if only I could use that wisdom and intelligence to benefit myself!  LOL    HAPPY NEW YEAR YA'LL!!!!

I have been out of touch with my peeps, not only because of being busy as heck, but also thanks to my crappy LG phone.  even though it is far from new technology I got a Motorola Razor for the low low. (I can't even tell you how i got it.  That's my old sqool side! lol)  Honestly, I have only been using this a day and am already enjoying better reception.  I can actually make and recieve calls and text messages at my job, and that has not been the case for ages.  I don't care what anyone says, the phone does matter! So I am trying to get back to basics of communication.  I already extended olive branches to the folks I been neglecting that were used to hearing my voice.  My current status.....

Place to live.... CHECK

Job....... CHECK

Respect of peers and family.... DOUBLE CHECK

Girlfriend............... accepting applications

new Lease on life............. Oh yeah CECKAROONIE!!!!

lol   Later!

What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007?

Okay number 1 is Prince because.... well it's PRINCE!  Have you heard Chelsea Rogers?  Absolutely the most infectious funky jam I've heard in years!

Talib Kweli would be next.... Once again looking for the perfect beat and dropping some old school style for these young folk that ain't even ready....

Hmmm... was Gwen Stefani 2006 or 2007?   Either way I shout her out too.

Really that is all I instantly latched on to.  I'm sure i'm leaving some out, but I'm not gonna pick 10 just because it says 10.  This is what hit me the most and stays on my MP3 from 2007.

After 12 I'm worse than a Gremlin

Feed me hip hop and I start tremblin'!

Wooooo Wooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jay Queezy is back and about to be better than before, as if that were possible.

My competition, you'll find them in the hospital.

visiting time... I think it's on a Sunday

But notice they only get one day to shine

the rest of the week is mine

And I'll blind you with the light

that the others have yet to find.....

(Big ups to the almighty Rakim and the greatest female emcee ever MC Lyte "as a rock")

So what have I been up to?  Work work work!  things have been hella crazy.  I was talking to my Brotha (if you don't know who that is don't even ask)  I was kinda stressed out about not having a woman in my life, the yin to my yang or whatever.  he had a valid point when he asked if that should even be a focus for me right now(then... 2 weeks ago lol).  The truth is I have not had someone real on my team in that capacity in years.  I got a long list of girls that are truly friends, but no girlFriend.  Now by process of elimination I know i just have to start over from scratch.  a lot of folks just stopped trying to hook up after I went "unemployed".  They didn't stop calling, but they stopped asking me to go out and do stuff.  It's like even though I didn't always pay for everything, people assumed I woud be broke or something.  Honestly I have had more free money than I have in a long time.  Now it's good to have steady consistent employment now, but really I have been doing great.  My brain has finally gotten the reset it has needed for over a year.  I am working amongst people who really appreciate and value my talents.  I am back on point and focused and ready to take over the world.  Yet.... it would be nice to have someone worthy to take the journey with me.  guess I'm getting sappy in my old/young age.  Anywhoooooooooo... I am back and with alternating 4 and 3 day work weeks should have time to hit  the blogs up.  While I didn't see anyone asking "Where in the world is JayQ?"  I know there are those that will be glad to see me about.  To all those, congratulations!  To everyone else.... LOOK OUT!   lol

It's hard to believe that I have been without an official job for 3 months, and even harder to believe I haven't missed any meals as a result.  God has blessed me with talent and life, and since then with countless other things.  today is the last day of my contracted work. I start work at the spot I've been contracting for as of tomorrow.  I have no idea if this is really the move to make, but they have showed with words and actions that they really want me here so I am willing to give it a try.  the last few months I have had so many revelations and reversals of mentalstates.  I have fortunatley managed to stay focused on my family and improving my health.  regardless of anything else, I am clearly in a better position than what I was 6 months ago.  I've always said it's not about money and possessions and recent weeks have been the proof in the pudding for me.  I feel my creativity and overall desire to live long and prosper have returned.  I have done a few pieces and will be back to posting by the end of next week at the latest.  If I have any folks that still check on me here, THANK YOU!  And I truly appreciate everyone who has supported me in any and every way.  That includes those who just listen or read.  Take care.

WORD

What's your alma mater?
Submitted by Lies.

I will always rep West Side High in Gary,IN!!!!  Go Cougars.... with style!

As for college it is all about scarlet and gold... the ever underated Iowa State Cyclones.  There was much more fun to be had in Ames, IA than I ever expected.  I actually had the spot on lock for 3 years.  If JayQ was invovled, people flocked to it.  Dang where did things change?! (Rhetorical)

LOL

PEACE

As the title suggests, I have been away a while and am truly sorry.  I have even been out of touch with my closest friends the last couple weeks(all 3 of them).  really I am still working on my employment situation and on top of that I had a bout with a sinus infection.  Please forgive me as I think I'm back now.  I haven't lost focus at all, I just was having a serious of disagreements with my phone and internet, my two major sources for contact with the outside world.  It has really been a time where I just found myself reflecting on myself and working on some projects that will make ME happy.  I have been piecing together some poetry for my upcoming release (Early 2008 I hope) tentatively entitle "Dark Diction".  People usually see the happy go lucky optimistic JayQ, but really I have been through some thangs and this is my time to put it out there.  Project 2 is a collectin of short stories.  I'm already in the process of sorting which ones are going to make the cut and thinking about a theme and title.  Unfortunately both of these will likely be done wayyyyyy before "Chin Music", by flagship novel in my detective series.  So now you know what's up with JayQ!  I'll be in touch.

Yup Yup
