BREAKING NEWS

I am going to see Kanye West this Wednesday!!!!!!

I am SO........... excited!! I am taking my step-daughter. She is 19, and when she asked me where we were going, I told her it was a surprise, but to dress up. "Dress up, hip-like. Nails, hair, you know - you need to look real cute. We are going to get pictures taken."

My son says she will figure it out, just like he figured out where we were going, when I took him for Easter brunch to one of our town's nicer restaurant's. He told a girl at the restaurant where he's the asst manager that his mom was talking him to brunch for Easter. She says, "Oh are you going to Shenanigan's on the water in Tacoma?" "No, we're going downtown somewhere," SO SHE TELLS HIM, "The only place downtown where they serve brunch is the Oyster House. " Sure enough, that was where we were going! He thought he was SO........... smart! He says, "I'm a good detective." Oh brother.

Anyway, Kanye was my son who passed FAVORITE. He had me come upstairs to our office and listen to ALL THE WORDS to Jesus Walks, even before it was released. He had downloaded it. He said, "This guy Kanye is going places mom."

We played Jesus Walks over-and-over, as over an hour of his friends passed by his casket.

My niece and nephew love me to play the first song on his College Graduation CD.

GOOD MORNING..... GOOD MORNING....
Good morning Mr. West Mr. West Mr Fresh.
Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh

Homie, this shit is basic
Welcome to graduation
Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning
On this day we become legendary
Everything we dreamed of
I'm like a fly Malcolm X
Buy any jeans necessary
Detroit wear cleaned up
From the streets of the league
From an eigth to a key
But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
From the moments of pain
Look how far we done came
Haters saying ya changed
Now ya doing ya thing
Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning Good morning
Look at the valedictorian scared of the future
While I hop in the Delorean
Scared-to-face-the-world complacent career student
Some people graduate, but we still stupid
They tell you read this, eat this, don't look around
Just peep this, preach us, teach us, Jesus
Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness
After all of that, you receive this
Good morning Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Get on down
Get, get on down
Get on down
Get, get on down
