new tumblr blog: the omina sessions

aight, so i got the tumblr page up. its BEEN up, but i had no idea what to do with it that would be different…then it just dawned on mi about 20 min ago: why not make a tumblr about the recording studio i work @: omina labs!

so far, ive put up a couple of pics of “upper management”, and one of our FAVORITE youtube vids. i’ll be putting up pics of various celebs that come around (most of which you can already see on our myspace), bay area legends, and our clients. this should be fun!

1st thoughts: twitter not upholding TOS, tumblr dreams, john mccain; die already.

i decided to record mi 1st thoughts upon waking up to utterz. i usually wakeup and read mi daily feeds, new followers and friendfeed via email from mi blackjackII. some innnnnteresting stuff this mornin folks.

one of the topics is one of mi favorite utilities; twitter. mi friendfeed caught something rather interesting, which you can read about here. there is also an update here (via arielwaldman.com).
Not a good move, twitter. after defending you so – this is not a good thang to hear that you refuse to do something about the haters….*tisk tisk*

in this medium of social networking, you KNOW haters and spammers are going to flock to anything BIG. dont let haters do their thing. haters can be GOOD and BAD for our reputations, but lets not encorage them!!!

there goes mi HERO! watch her as she goes!

mi mom was about 16 when she got preggo with mi. she carried mi across the stage to receive her diploma. she put alot of her life on hold for mi. she could have done so many different things. shes a SMART woman.

all mi life, it was just her and i. i wanted a new keyboard every year for mi bday, and this woman would work extra hours just so she could afford a friggin lil casio for mi. this woman worked TWO jobs, and i still complained and threw fits.

as a teenager, i was such a ungrateful asshole. i was a rude, smartmouth kid who was too popular for his own good. and ooooooooooh shit, how full of miself i was! however, mi mom was always in mi corner. she fought the school board tooth-and-nail to keep them from expelling mi (when i stabbed that kid). she even moved outta the greater city and bought her first house where i would be closer to school, as i couldnt go to any school in the district. all she expected was BETTER of mi.

so it really didnt surprize mi when she sold mi bed when i was 16. i had been sellin dope, and turned down the scholarship offered to mi. she STILL gave mi mi 1st car before i moved to Long Beach with mi GF.  when i was hospitalized, guess who would visit & call mi? mi mom was, and always will be mi hero.

nowadays; ma is the glue that holds the family 2gether (i dare ANYONE to challenge that). when our family members are in need (which is quite often), mi ma is right there to offer what she can. she has provided bail, she has paid rents, she has paid off debts, she has saved LIVES, she has provided protection to/from certain people. im TELLIN you, mi mom is the bomb! from about 2003 til her death; mom took great care of mi grandmother. grandma never had to worry about anything. she had A1 health care, and she didnt even have to spend her own money. when i feel like lashing out at the [haters], mom is there to say, “c’mon tof. be bigger than that. i KNOW theyre pissing you off, but let them have their way. thats how you win in the end“. and honestly, sometimes i need that. she hasnt been wrong yet.

i had to make it clear to everyone in mi lil speech at mi grandmas funeral just how important mi mom is to our family.  i could never pay mi mom back for all of her unconditional LoVe and support. so mi aim is to make her proud of mi. even if i never make a nomination, if she wants a seat at the grammies – she’ll have it. and it would be the very least i could do.

so ma – im sorry for putting you through hell as a kid, i thank you for being there for mi, thanks for being mi bestfriend, thanks for being in mi corner when you KNEW i was wrong, thanks for takin care of grandma, and thanks for being an inspiration to us all. i was talkin to old school homies the other day about “bosses” and one said “but nigguh, TOFU’s mom is a got damn BOSS, and always has been!” it made mi blush, cause its so true.

i LoVe you, mom. there will never be another YOU! =o)
