Happy New Year...

Hello world... I would just like to say Happy New Year for the ones who got to make it to 2009. I would like to acknowledge anyone who has lost a love one in that crazy ass year we called 2008. My prayers are with you all. I hope you all have a prosperous New Year, be safe parting and bullshitting tonight; and please no drunk driving.

:( Bye firefox...

Google just won't let a nigga have SHIT!!! First it was the search engines... then the slew of applications they came out with that is just so much better than the others (i.e. Google Maps). Then they came out with a fuckin' phone (T-Mobile G1). And now they're trying to put Firefox out of the web browsing business with Google Chrome.

Damn... I was starting to like Firefox... OH WELL... For those who don't have Google Chrome you can download it here.

What it is people... now when I started and named this blog 'The Take Off,' it was in honor of us... (NO.... not you...) but us... It's about to be 2009 and it's time for us to take the fuck off... In 2008, we finally found ourselves and figured what we wanted to do with our lives... And uhh... this upcoming year is when we move into our next phase of our lives and get closer to our dreams. And if you pussies aren't with us, your against us. But either way we're still going to make it.

I'll be the first to say it... iLLa (No you sum' bitches I ain't talking about Illa J, sorry no disrespect but I don't know you fam...), I got faith in you dude... you have something that most people out here doing music don't have (*cough* Soulja Boy *cough*) and that's TALENT. I've witnessed it. Now my dude... Let's make these people witness...
