1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!....

Ladies & gentlemen, boys and girls, Loyal Subjects and other assorted crazy people. Welcome to the 1 year anniversary party for the dopest, flyest, most original, and happiest blog on Earth!!!! It's been a wild ride since August 19th 2005 and so today we're going to have a blast! To start things off I've invited Marvin Gaye to sing the National Anthem. Now before he comes out let me just say I've never sang this song in my life and don't condone the singing of it but what you are about to witness is some remarkable stuff. Remember when Whitney sang the anthem at the Super Bowl? Well multiply that about 34. Ladies and gentleman Marving Gaye!




I told you Marvin would put the stank on it! He worked that so good you could put that on a slow jam mix. Thanks Marvin. We miss you!

Since I first started this blog 1 year ago there have been lots of changes. Changes in my life, changes in the world, and of course changes in my template! We've had friends come and go. There have been beefs, boasts, and bullshit. Well today we're re-visiting all of the fun and sadness. So if you showed up late or took a break, today we're covering it all. O course it'll probably cause more beef but who cares! If it's one thing that hasn't changed it's my pompous, arrogant, and who gives a crap attitude so let's get busy!!!!

Ultimately I want to make this celebration about you guys. Your comments on my posts throughout the year have already shown how you feel about me and what I write and so now let's take a little stroll down memory lane....

The Loyal Subjects

Grant- Grant has been with me since day one. Literally. I didn't realize it until a few weeks ago that he actually was the first person to comment on my blog that I didn't know and he actually commented on my very first day of blogging. You are a strange bird but anybody that has put up with my nonsense for that long deserves a shout out at least.

Danielle- D's Crunk Corner was the first amateur blog that I was really impressed with. She had gadgets in her sidebar and she had blogroll broken down into two sections, a idea I would later steal for my blogroll. She also routinely had over 50 comments on each of her posts and later upwards of a hundred or more. Danielle was also the first person I beefed with online. She took offense to an innocent comment made by GP and kept emailing me to "get her in check". I ended up saying she smelled like cheese. Danielle I am offering you a public apology for all that nonsense. You were cool before you lost your mind. I forgive you and I hope you forgive the King.

Georgia Peach- Your cute. A little arrogant, but cute. I'll watch your blog progress and see what else interesting you have to say. That was GP's first comment on my blog back on August 30th 2005. It was also the start of a great online friendship. At one point she was even recognized as my Executive Producer. As much as I tried to keep her sheltered from the rest of the world eventually lots of others found her and she found lots of others as well. I don't see or hear from GP that much anymore because of that crooked little place called Myspace but she's a lifetime member of THE DYNASTY!

Andrea aka BrownSoul- Sept. 3rd is when the brown souled queen showed up in The Kingdom. And like Grant she still shows up every now and again. I joked with her early on that she was my favorite commenter because she alwasy agreed with me. I pretty much still feel the same way! LOL! Holla at me Queen!

Leesa- Sept. 8th the second loyal subject of european descent came along and brought with her a heart in her writing that always makes me smile and a mind that, well, is freaky as hell. She's a hell of a writer and as stated before she was the first blogger to link me and I was pumped for about 2 weeks because of it!

Jackie- There's a song by the Commodores call Night Shift and second verse goes something like this: Jackie(Jackie), hey what you doing now
It seems like yesterday
When we were working out
Jackie, you set the world on fire
You came and gifted us
Your love it lifted us higher and higher
Keep it up and we'll be there
At your side
Oh say you will sing your songs
Forevermore, evermore
I love that song. Anyway it describes my relationship with J to the tee. She first visited my blog on the post that turned out to be the most comments I'd ever had at that point so I was quite excited. She was charming, witty, and funny as hell. I think she was the second blogger that I actually talked to outside of the blog. We emailed each other all day long fussing, joking, and whatever else we could think of to help us pass our boring days at work. She always challenged me on my blog which was something different at the time. Now everybody tries to do it but back then she made it so much fun. The time she was around was the the golden era of my blog. I write better when I'm upset and at the time I was going through some really tough things. She helped me through that period with her humor and kindness. Eventually she would become another person I beefed with although it has always been more subtle as I have too much respect for her to ever say anything disrespectful in front of all of yall. Miscommunication is a bitch sometimes. If you feel I wronged you in anyway I Jacquelyn I want you to know I never intended to and I apologize.

Mwabi- Happee2bnappee is how I was first introduced to Mwabi. She won a contest to become the newest member of the Dynasty. She disappeared for awhile though but I've heard she resurfaced. If you're out there Mwabi holla at me!

Rell- My homie Rell made his first appearance in October. I have had very few regualr male readers and even less African-American ones. In fact Rell is the only one(Well he's the only one that comments). He loves Carolina and Jordan as much as I do. The only problem with the dude is that he's a Cowboy fan. Hey Rell the Cowboys are just the pro football version of the Duke Blue Devils!!!

Video X- VX was an interesting case. She first commented on my blog back in October and a few months later was part of a group that tried to really trash the King. But I did see the humor in it all and we were able to squash the beef and we've been cool ever since. Shouts to VX!

Nikki- Nov. 3rd Nikki typed her way into my life and changed it forever. Her first comment? i agree. the end. That was it. And my first thought is this is a person with very few words. Well let's just say my assumption was just a tad bit off. This woman does things with words that i thought were previously impossible. She constantly shocks me. Actually if you liked any of my posts from the past few months it's because Nikki has been masturbating my mind and the climax is the words you've been reading. She inspires me like no one else. Oh and she also designed my blog! Which reminds me, it's time to switch it up again Nik!!!

Laa- LaaLaa was the next high yellow chica to capture my attention and she still has it. Seriously Laa is one of my favorite bloggers and it has nothing to do with her complexion. She's just really cool and down to earth. Laa is a lifelong Dynasty member. I'd also like to take this time to address the notion put forth by some that I seek out the bright(light skin) female bloggers and attempt to mack them down. Not true. I mack ALL female bloggers! HA! Hold me down Laa and start that study!

Cool AC- Arleta, I think that's her name I can never remember, first commetned on my blog in early December. She's one of those people that's always stating facts and figures. The know-it-all type(LOOK WHO'S TALKING!) that gets on your nerves after about 13 seconds. Check her comments on your pages or her blog and you'll see what I mean. She sits up on a really high horse and points out the flaws of any and everybody not named Cool AC and she wonders why.....wait...I'm supposed to be nice. Cool you're ummmm.....well you're not a bad person per se but....never mind. Thanks for kicking it as long as you did and all that jazz.

Koolbreeze- The lady with all the babies also was a newcomer in December. She's one of my all time favorites as well. She calls me out on her blog for not posting(you didn't think I saw that did you) and harasses me in the comment section. Congratulations on the new baby Kool and I still say you should've named the little crumb snatcher after the King!

Goddess- The Goddess stumbled across my blog when she first started blogging back in December and has been a LS ever since. She's truly an interesting character, so much so I did an interview with her once. She's white but I lover her anyway! Kidding!

Chele- Chele was another December baby. Dang what was I posting in December?! Anyway she is another excellent writer and provides hilarious and insightful comments and the factthat she's attractive doesn't hurt. Go buy her book!

Missy- Missy found me right before the new year as well. Ok I've really got to go back and read the December posts! I love Missy or whatever name she's going by now(NegroPino). She fusses at me for rarely stopping by her blog but I'm going to promise to do better Missy!!!

Kween- LMAO! This one is just funny. Kween is well, I guess the most loyal subject of them all. Since she first commented on my blog on Jan4th I'm not sure if a day has passed that she hasn't visited. Mostly it was to steal my ideas, promote her on blog, and to plug her plays, but she stopped by nonetheless. Her presence really shook things up around here. And when I say shook things up what I mean is a lot of my more establised base couldn't stand her and the way she flirted with the King. In fact she's probably 47% of the reason a lot of my original subjects stopped showing up. But I don't fault her she was just doing what it is that she does. What I do fault her for are those wack pictures of me she keeps putting up on her site. Cease and desist Kween or I will chop you up and feed you to pigs!

TTD- Yall call her TTD but the King calls her Tif. Kween entered the scene Jan.4th and her homey Tiffany wasn't far behind making her first appearance Jan.9th. Tiffany is one of the coolest chicks i've met and that's probably because we have the same sense of humor and usually agree on stuff. She's a basketball fan and that's always a good quality in a female. Along with Kween, they ran off some of my "friends" by coming on my blog and just talking to each other about stuff only the two of them knew about. My inbox was flooded when these two showed up and the contents usually went something like this "I hate them bitches!" LMAO! I was seriously looking for a way to ban them but I'm glad I didn't. They are odd for sure but they are mad cool and didn't up and leave me even when other newbies showed up. Where I'm from we call that "real".

No1:uKnow- A few days after that on Jan. 11th No1 visited the good King although back then she was known as chclt~tits. She's my homey and I tried to get her to change her screen name to KNOWONE. Get it? It's a double entendre! Anyway I just always call her Beaverhousen. I like how Beaverhousen feels on my tongue. Wait a minute! Get your minds out of the gutter! Gtalk me baby!

BK Diva- The Diva changes her name a lot too. She's been extremely sweet since she became a LS and she's an even bigger flirt than me! Holla at me Reesie!

There's just so many people to shout out! All of you guys have made my blog hot and happeneing. Keep rolling through and if you stopped for some reason then come on back! There's always a spot waiting for you at the Palace!

And to show my love for all you guys I've invited the pre-cracked out Whitney to perform a song for you guys that expresses how I feel about you! Enjoy.




Do you hear that haters?! It'll take an eternity to break us! The chains of Amistad can't hold us! Yeeeahhh!!!

This past year flew by and it was all because you kept me laughing or arguing, or just inspiring me by the things on your blogs. All of you. I appreciate you sticking with me even when I am tripping. This blog has been so much for for me and it has also been therapy. Thanks for all your advice and friendship albeit internet friendship it's still a form of friendship nonetheless. You're awesome and here's to another year of my nonsense!

And so to close the show I tried my best to think of a performer who could truly capture the essence of me, this blog, and all of you. Ladies and gentelman Gnarls Barkley!






Thank you. Thank you. You have been far too kind. You could've been anywhere in the world but you are here with me.

Happy Blogiversary. =)

nikki said...

dude, i'm not helping you change this template again damnit. thanks for the shout out though. you've made it easy for us to come back (that is until you stopped posting for weeks at a time). then i had to start sliding your name further down my blog roll until you stepped it up again this week. with the way rell's talking shit, you might be in front of him shortly.

and rell? shattup. LOL

everybody knows i'm the most concise blogger out there. i keep my entries to no more than a couple of sentences because i realize the importance of keeping the message short and sweet. i mean, my attention span is way to short for me to engage in the endeavor of writing anything that lasts longer than about three sentences. i figure whatever a person gotta say, he or she can say it in five sentences or less. otherwise, they're just filling up space with inane drivel and inane drivel is like phlegm that gets caught up in the throat, kinda like when bush choked on that piece of popcorn while he was watching that football game and someone came in and saved him from dying i think.

damn, i really hate whoever did that shit.

Miscommunication does lead to complication, but through it all it's been an interesting ride. Glad you're still around, D.

Happy Blogversary D-Dot!

You know I didn't get a shout out.... but that's

I don't remember how I found your page but
I am glad I did. A Gemini Dragon such as myself deserves no less than a kingdom and following...

I am proud to be apart of the kingdom and and long as I'm not excommunicated- I will be for life.
If you buy me a "kingdom" cloak they can bury me in it. Buy it for me K? :)
