Current Newark Underground Happenings, I Suppose….

Sometimes I don’t think I can help it, politics just calls my name and I come running. But, it is not my life, Jesus is my life, and I need to remember that. Been a little busy this week, so have not really been able to write a quality post like I would have liked. But, I have accomplished the last Christmas video that I spoke of in my last post, and I am so pleased with it, truly believing it to be a James 1:17 video, straight from the Lord. Here it is:

Whenever I make a youtube video, I am reminded of (I think) “Start with an earthquake then slowly build to a climax” (of which I’m not sure who is the originator of), and of which I attempted, even if I didn’t succeed, to do.

In a way, I do consider it one of my babies of the year….

You know, I’m laughing to myself, because I never remembered the “build to a climax” part of the quote. Not sure if that is going to change things for myself.

So it’s Sunday evening, and I just wanted to chill, didn’t even want to go to the gym, figuring maybe I could just take it easy on Sundays and leave the rest of the week to do whatever needs to be done. Perhaps finding the rest in the sabbath sort of thing….

Well, it isn’t often that the Mayor of Newark (@corybooker) responds to any of my tweets, though I have to give him credit for responding more than might be expected, but he surprised me with this direct message a couple of hours ago:

“This one isn’t picking on me. The council is outrageous and should be cutting the spending. I can’t do it. Its the legislative branch.”

He was responding to this tweet of mine:

“‘@Giambusso: For Newark City Council, a fat budget in lean times | http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/for_newark_city_council_a_fat.html‘ why u like pickin’ on @CoryBooker so much? Lol”

Now I made that comment out of jest because I once seemed to see the starledger writer @giambusso take a shot at the Mayor through an article, an article which I force to elude me due to time and boredom constraints.

Truth be told, the above article (about the “fat budget”) I never read in full but said (through DM) I’d do so to the Mayor. Of course I didn’t say when…maybe tomorrow *eyes looking around as if able to detect anyone’s thoughts of “baloney”*.

Actually, when it comes to Newark politics, I am curious what is to become of the @occupynewark movement that is currently occupying…Military Park in downtown Newark.

Through their own tweets they have supplied their latest legal right, which seems to state they could only “occupy” until 9pm yesterday. Guess the “Occupy Movement” don’t respect squat, what a shocker. LOL! See how I get hot when it comes to politics???

Anyway, why should I care?! After all, they seem to blend right in with all the open-air drug dealing that I suppose to see (in Newark) anyway. Forgive me now, cause I really do love Newark, but even today, I saw two dudes standing on the corner of some vague storefront (and maybe it was Irvington, which for some reason I hate to admit because it waters down my argument [but even if doing so adds to the credibility of my honesty, even if I do say so myself], and can’t help but think they were only standing out there to sell drugs. Maybe I’m wrong, but I couldn’t look at them without knowing they would display if only in their eyes how dangerous they were.

So now I’m mentally comparing @occupynewark to open-air drug dealing, I wonder what’s next….

After reviewing this post, I have to confess I’m planning to tweet it directly to @corybooker, @giambusso and @occupynewark, and that with full knowledge that the dog that barks the loudest does not necessary receive the food from the master but most certainly the dog that has favor does. This I know from personal experience. PEACE
