Review of Boosie Badazz – Gangsta Melodiez

Review of the album Gangsta Melodiez by Boosie Badazz I first heard of Boosie Badazz years ago when a sports reporter was interviewing Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch before a game.

Apartment mattress.

I know the best mattress spots in Bell County. Once someone decides a spot is good to dump a mattress then everyone else will agree. 1 dumped mattress will turn into 10 over several mattress seasons.

The Tom Joad Poems

Around 8:30 pm at night, sometimes, some nights, I’ll take half a gummy and watch a sport on television while writing. Usually, baseball or tennis where nothing happens fast, until it does.

Review of the book, “Pimp” by Iceberg Slim

Review of the book, “Pimp: The Story of My Life” by Iceberg Slim Most people have heard that pimpin’ ain’t easy, but have you ever wondered why?
