MRClueUin Is On Youtube

Ever read any of my blog articles (anyone?) and started to wonder what I look like? Well now here is your chance to get on the ground floor of an exciting new project. MRClueUin's Vlog is now up and running on Youtube. It started as a fan response to Charles St. Micheal's Vlog show 'Iliketosayfuckalot' and now I'm uploading opinions, poems, and a whole lot more!

So if you ever gave two cents to knowing how I feel about things going on in the world and my own inner world here's your chance! (Come down don't you all rush in at once. Don't want to crash the internet do we? LOL) No seriously, give it a chance and if you like it Click Like and then Subscribe. I'll try not to bug everybody on air to do so but I make no promises. I mean I'd really like it if some people watched. I am a shy person really and this took a lot of courage for me to do this. So Like, Comment, Subscribe, or just come by to watch my new Vlog. MRClueUin is on Youtube!

Wit, wisdom, Oh Heeeeeeelp!

 Oh hey! Your probably wonder wtf have I been all these months. Well in short surviving and doing a pretty sucky job at it as usual. Remember all those great ideas I had for improving this blog. I even had a "Friend" of mine doing some nice essasys on Media. Heard of her? Media Gurl ringing any bells? Well anyway thanks to all my viewers and one followers for at least taking a peek at my musings on my blog. And I would like to apologize but I can't because when it comes to survival you kinda get one track minded about such things as eating, sleeping, paying bills, and trying not to go crazy. You would have thought that having a blog would insure that but...na!

So I have been on the Internet doing many, many, things. Looking for work, writing my book, and watching way, way, too much Youtube. So to balance things out; for my motto is to help people stretch their parameters, I decide to every once and awhile show you things on the Internet that aren't all just gross cartoons, porn, and delightful nut jobs yakking their mouths off.

Such as Mike Falzone. He is one funny mofo that cracks me up with his insightful humor and hipster like good looks. (Though he is so not a hipster by any means.) Mike plays with his band Mike And The Peppermint Trick. He also does cover songs on Youtube as well. It's kinda hard to describe his music style but I liken it to some Indie pop stuff I've heard. Could be wrong. Somebody tell me if so. All in all he has a smooth singing voice and plays his guitar like a pro man! So check that out too.

So why do I have this sudden urge to tell you about this guy? Well I have been watching his videos for a while when I came on to his video named: Sweet Car Bro. At the end he asked his viewers to either buy his book at this site: atcontent.com. Full site addy at the left of this article. Some people asked him if his book was out on e-readers and he was like "Yeah go to this site and while your there repost on you site or post a direct link and get some money every time somebody buys his book.

If I wasn't just scraping by on FS and prayer I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But as it is all I can do is spend sometime telling you about this funny guy with the nice singing voice. So if you can buy his book and hopeful I can get enough money to buy some groceries and pay off my Wi-Fi bill. May not sound so important but without your help I can't write blogs or sell my book. (Which is coming out this Winter by the way. Tell you about that later.) and Mike Falzone certainly needs the money to fuel his artistic ambitions as well. Can't entertain all you lovely viewers if Artist like our selves are to busy trying to find jobs to pay the rent though and that is just a fact of life.

So help me help Mike and other artist by clicking on that site then buying his book. If not from me then from somebody else cause I think his book just might justify the 12.50. did I mention he is a funny mofo? LOL

I have found out that in order to expand your horizons and go beyond your front door you don't even have to leave your front door. So go on to YouTube and discover what's out there. Then slowly walk away from your computer and go outside. Like Doctor Who #11 said when he saw what was on Jeff's laptop. "Get a girlfriend Jeff!". In some cases a boyfriend or something. Go out if you've got the extra spending cash and see what's out there. I sure wish I could.

Peace!,

Youhoo! Nathan Over here! ;)

Sorry I haven't been writing in as much. However this isn't really going to be a new article I'm afraid. Just a shout out to a fellow writer to whom I gave a bit of a boost too today. Then he did the nicest thing ever! Upload a video to thank me!

I had to straighten a few things, well one thing really, about me. Giggle! Due to the fact that I really didn't think that my internet and blog handle would cause so much confusion. Really who would have thought that the initials of my first and last name would have everyone so mixed up? (So cheer up Nathan your not the first to make that error. LOL)

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, I would like to give a shout out to the future Grammy Winner for best Lyrics----Nathan L. (That's N.L. to you all! LOL Little joke, very little.) Cheers buddy!

P.s I've also responded. 

Gurl, Where The Heck Have You Been?- A Year In Review

     

Gurl, Where The Heck Have You Been?- A Year In Review

Gurl, where the heck have you been?! Is probably what you have all been asking whenever you peep at my blog. If not congratulations you have a life or have found a better blog to read. Can’t say I would blame you as I have been totally out of it since August. However if you do have a life and think my blog was worth reading I sincerely apologize for being remiss in keeping this blog up to date.

I have a lot of excuses and at least two good reasons for being hello late, lame, and lazy. One of my reasons were that I am a writer and if this blog was my only project you guys (and my one follower) would have a really good reason to be pissed. (However your mileage may vary.) At any rate I have been trying to complete a short story that I have been working on for the last, oh let’s see, four years or more. What better time to focus than when you’re unemployed, receiving unemployment, and have time in between updating your resume and sending all over the place? Oh yes times are tough but it takes more than economical downturn to get this girl down! LOL

So there I was trying to keep up my major tough writing schedule when I realize that I hadn’t updated my blog! I swear to all that is holy in this world that I was just about to hunker down and do some research when major bills came along. Remember when I promised a new exciting feature where I would go around town and take pictures of so-called fashions for real women then make comments? Yeah, couldn’t take pictures if I couldn’t buy a digital camera now could I? Con Ed must be paid and life is a bitch till you learn to smell the roses!

Seriously, I wish I could have because I saw this really bitchin’ outfit up by Atlantic Avenue at this boutique and would have really, really, loved to take a picture of it to show to my audience…..of apparently one follower and whoever glanced at my blog and then decided to find something more interesting. (No I’m not whining, sniff.) Anyways, I’m really sorry about that one. The second reason? Well, this is going to sound really lame but if you’ve ever had a mid-fall flu cold then you probably will sympathize. I was as sick as a dog! Could not write even an e-mail so much as a snippet of a blog much less work on my short story. L

So now of course comes the lamest of excuses, while I was sick I got hello bored and decide to rise up out of my bed and surf the net. I decided to find out what to do on the internet when bored at a site that right now I can’t remember the name but I know another woman wrote so I blame her. Her site recommended that I watch old Doctor Who episodes. Being low at heel and only being able to afford to pay for my internet service, (shut up), I had no way to afford to go down to my local movie rental store; heck much less be able to play the thing considering I didn’t have a DVD player or a laptop with the latest Cd-Rom attachment. (Shut up I’m not cheap, I could only afford a net book. Yeah, I know, shut up!)

What did I do? Well I surfed the net and came to many sites that offered for a small fee or no fee at all many, many, Doctor Who episodes. So I picked some episodes off of the Amazon.Com website. (They we’re offering a one month trail of Prime membership. Big mistake will tell you later about it)  The rest as they say is history as I got lost in Time, Space and Christopher Eccleston’s smile! Then David Tennant then Matt Smith and all my favorite old time Time Lords. Then of course I had to go on Youtube.Com to learn even more fan stuff and it went down hill from there.

There is this cool guy from Great Britain named MrTardis and he has a Youtube page called “MrTadisReviews” from there I got other Youtube recommendations and started watching this hello funny guy called “The Nostalgia Critic”. OMG, that was one of the coolest three months ever spent by the internet! What was not cool was I was only sick for three weeks in September! So lame! I’m sorry but I will make it up to you. How?

Well two ways. One- I will give you these entertaining guys and gals Youtube and web addresses so you two can lose all your valuable extra-time watching them and Two- Load a clip of Doctor Who. Not much of an apology gift to be sure which is why I am also going outside in the cold to take pictures with my net book and start on other blogs! I swear and I’m sorry and Oh…

…Happy New Year!

Peace!

I'm back. did you miss me? New Stuff from MRCLUEUIN.

Hi everyone in the blogospere! I'm back and my one follower can finally breath a sigh of relief. (That's if he's still following me.) Now if you are new you'll figure out why. (Look at article below.)
If my old follower is still following, then he'll know too. (Thanks in advance for any possible condolences.)
Meanwhile back at the ranch while I was feeling bummed for obvious reason; I was still constantly thinking of possible essay articles to write. Lucky for me politics have been a buzz with many a new issue. It seems it's a buzz a minute with the Middle East, 2012 Election Candidates, and Health Care, etc. Focused on that for two reasons, one always interested in what's going on in the world, two my Dad was the reason why I'm like that and I thought it would be a cool way to honor him.
But if anybody was thinking I was sitting around glum and crying all the time just don't know me. Did that eight months, stopped thought about Dad some more, laughed at all the good times we had, felt sad, then started distracting myself like a motherfucker. So of course like shiny keys to a baby I got distracted but good by this really good game online. Then I thought about the kind of man my father was and what he wanted for me. So I meditated on that and decided to get back in the saddle.
So to that end here are some new titles to look forward to in the coming weeks. (That's right I said weeks not three months out of the year went I poke my head out and see what's up to write about. Aren't you lucky?)

My New Life With Second Life! - My brand new obsession, Second Life! This virtual reality game that has been around for ages and discovered it like it was brand new. There is so much more fun and excitement in this game that it's more fun the a cluster of shiny keys. Of course since this game is full of game players who control their avatars and talk with other game players it's more than your usual game. Drama? Oh yeah! Cool clothes? Natch! Adventure? A whole butt load! Is it free? To start and as long as you can stand it before you break down and buy the premium menu, yeah. Intrigued? Good then maybe if you stop by you might break down and read the new page that will tell you all about it then won't you? Heh, heh, heh!

Real Fashion For Real Woman- Hard enough to be a large size woman in this city but when the fashionistas finally got the 411 on the fact that fat chicks like cool clothes they decided to do to us what they've been doing to you skinny minnies out there. Offer clothes that no one in there right mind would wear on the regular, (or for that matter on any occasion), anybody wearing shiny silver triangles on there faux fur faux leather jackets lately? No? I didn't think so. So on top of trying to see what's the 411 in the city that we love, New York; I'll be taken shots of real woman wearing fashionable clothes that make sense and of course making fun of all the crazy shit I see out there that the fashionistas out there think we women should be wearing. Let's go get 'em girls!

So much to write and so little unemployment cash to spend on carfare to go see them. So if your passing by how about bookpaging all this mess and give little ole MR a shout out, o.k? Peace!

In Memoriam: Charles R. Jr.

Part Three continues with the life and times of my father.

Charles in the second act of his life decided to embark on his dream. A dream that many a smart, young, black man has but because of circumstances out of his control can not, a college education. While he was in his younger years he was helped by his friends to enter college and procure his Associates degree (Note: Not yet completed. M.R)

In Memoriam: Charles R. Jr.- Part Two

......This is Part two in a memorial essay on my Father. As Blogger.com has limitations on so many words per post I find myself breaking up this essay into Three part. Please forgive the inconvenience. M.R.

Of course my Dad was the type of person who knew his own mind and despite the protests of his friends decided to join the U.S Army. Never mind all the rhetoric he was being indoctrinated with, he was an American and found it was his duty to sign up. (I’m thinking that at that time he wasn’t so into Communism as he later became in life. But more about that later. My opinion is so lacking in information that I wouldn’t be surprised to be corrected by some of his aforementioned friends.) So while he was in the Army he was stationed here and about. About this time it was discovered that my Dad had a Mental illness and was honorably discharged. His illness, Paranoid schizophrenia. It did make him less loving, less brilliant, or less of anything. This illness just meant that he saw the world differently than most and with medication and therapy he was just like everybody else except for times when he was in his own world. I didn’t know of his illness in my growing up years, he told me when I was in College. It didn’t change the way I felt about him and it made me understand some of his behaviors when a was little a lot more. I just thought that Dad danced to a tune of a different drummer and I liked the music. Moving on.

This part is about to get murky so I apologize in advance. But it’s such an important part to me and God knows who else that to not mention it would be a crime.

My Father Charles met my Mother Linnett in Jamaica. (This is where it gets murky. But hang in there it’s an Memoriam for goodness sakes not a biography!) Charles was staying with a friend and/or stationed on leave. At any rate they met, they fell into like, (I can’t really say if they loved one another so), and they married. Anything else I could mention would fall under the category of None ya, as in none of your business so there! So Dad left Jamaica and did all the necessary paperwork to get his bride to America. In the 70’s was born to them a little girl, who is the author of this Memoriam. (For obvious reasons I cannot state my name. I am still writing under and assumed name so.) Charles had also adopted my sister D.R a daughter from a previous realasionship. (Once again None ya.)

When I was three years old they divorced but remained good friends, somewhat, throughout the years from what I had observed throughout my childhood. All the rest of their relationship, again none ya. This time it’s because I am not privilege nor is it my right to mention something about an relationship between two people. It was between these two however they might have included some individuals into their issues, so it will remain so until such time as I either get permission to talk about it or the survivors’ death. At any rate my Dad was fond of my Mother and loved me and my sister very much.

I looked forward to the times when he would visit us or whenever he would take us out for a day or a weekend. To me it was like Christmas, Fourth of July, and Halloween whenever he came for us. Dad took us to weekend trips, Museums, Art Galleries, and restaurants. Dad taught us how to behave and act around different classes of society and races. We were taught to respect other people’s differences and taught pride in our own. I liked to think however infrequent those visits, Dad had an impact on me that stays with me to this day.
