I cried a little, but I’m alright.
Y&R will yield me 1 player shy.
I’ll say a prayer for her fam tonight.
Then I’ll propose a toast to a wonderful afterlife
and down a double-shot of PASSION FRUIT – SKYY.
No. This is not a sad occasion, Ms. C was 84.
And we’ll go on to sing the songs of ‘how we do adore.’
She was a staple on Y&R, I don’t know how they are going to make it.
I’m sure the writers will whip something up and the actors won’t have to fake it.
Life. She is funny and Jeanne Cooper was a blast.

And I can only pray to live a life so full of pizzaz.
DON’T DELAY
Celebrate YOUR LIFE today.
Politics ain’t pretty, but it sure is a hoot.
If you want to be pres. – gotta raise lots of loot.
Must make running a country, look like a day at the beach.
Must be suave but not be impeached.
Sign patriotic contract with no release.
Rule over all – even if only half of the population like ya’.
Vote often on every government level, or politics will bite ya’.
No. I don’t reckon politics is pretty but it sho’ is necessary
to unite us in contract – the democracy we carry.
This years presidential debate is going to be hoot.
Each candidate starchy clean and standing on mounds of loot.
Mitt Romney is doing his thing. It’s my pleasure to watch him,
though I think in the presidential debates – President Obama’s gonna squash him.
I’m influenced by the poll numbers by Quinnipiac and ‘nem
and am noticing Romney is loosing his favorability hem.
President O is on a roll and it’s only September.
I had to poeticize about this moment – for it’s one I want to remember.
See ya at the polls!

Love is best shown though a hug – so give it.
If you’re faced with a problem, ol’ prayer still works.
And when things come back GOOD – go ahead and twerk.
Life is at hand – don’t miss an opportunity
to dance, to laugh, to be inspired, to sing…
Do what you feel — because it’s only a moment.
A good life is at hand and you’ve got to hone it.
It is my very wish that we all be content.
Your life is a good one. It is heaven sent.
No matter what the circumstances, or what foul thing you’ve done.
There’s always time to change whilst you walk under the sun.
You’ve been living a good life and yield respect to all in every venue.
Your life is a living legacy. Keep it up. I encourage you to continue.
Life is at hand – it’s about the take and the give.
Take the opportunity today to live the best life you can live.
You deserve it.

Honest water fun for the Summer lover.
T’was the same that claimed life of young Kyle Glover.
Today Usher Raymond is heart broken –>ditto is his ex
Because they’ve lost a loved one with a big energy connect.
A couple of weeks ago, every media outlet read
about 11-yr old Kyle Glover being pronounced brain dead.
It happened in the water, at the beginning of a new week.
Kyle and a 15-yr old friend were run over by a jet ski.
Tameeka called 911 while praying toGod this wasn’t the end,
for the driver of the wreckless jet ski, was in fact a family friend.
The driver was not drunk. It was an accident on all accounts,
and as a result of such thing, we’ve lost a spirit of immeasurable amounts.
Children have big spirits and it’s always sad to see them go.
Please pray for Tameeka and her other 3 children as they continue to grow.
Please pray for Usher Raymond – he’s certainly got his hands full.
Life is short, be a vibrant sport. Living any other way is just bull.
Honest water fun for the vibrant Summer lover.
God has another Angel in tow, he now has Kyle Glover.
Don’t ever stop praying for the children: especially yours and mine.
Without their energetic lives our world would lack sunshine.
My Story
Life has been good to me. Life has been swell.
I met WordPress in 2010 and it’s already 2012.
I started my own Entertainment website in January of 2004
when BlackPlanet & Myspace couldn’t hold my bandwidth no more.
I was completely independent – it was just me and ol’ Startlogic.
I had no webmaster experience just a research happy noggin.
The Qui Entertainment Network started out with me just writing in rhyme
serving up a mixture of world news facts, a dash of gossip and 2/3 of sunshine.
In 2006 – I met Sir Fab5Freddy
and my love of The BIG APPLE has every since been steady.
Not because of meeting one man – but for all [from him] that I have learned.
Fab may appear to be floating on clouds; though his clout is solid & well earned.
He’s a HIOP HOP STATESMAN and an African American historian as well –
who keeps scores of documented binds atop of his low bowed shelves.
I read and I read, though I learned much more from taking notes.
I made good on everything he told me to – each suggestion he spoke.
He recommended script writing school, so I could learn the proper 1-2-3′s
of STORY: Principle & Structure as taught by Robert McKee.
I FOLLOWED THROUGH.
I then sought to conquer filming. My approach: professional – no faker;
I joined an Acting Conservatory and then took classes @Video Maker.
The year was finally 2008 and I’d saved quite enough to spare
for a MacBook Pro that was packed with loads of film hardware.
That purchase was immediately followed up
with acquiring The Studio of FINAL CUT.
Quite a nifty investment that I’m still learning to hone;
In the process of –opportunity relocated me to a new home.
The year was 2011 and the exact day was in the month of November -
We moved West, with our production invest — a gamble — I do remember.
And so here I am today excitedly pushing my reel cause;
Creativity is 90% of me – part perfections and beneficial flaws.
The benefit of endless creativity tho my methods are so unorthodox.
In Griot I give credit where credit is due and it’s you [o' reader] who rocks!
You’ve been through it with me since the beginning – so to you –> I’ll always be true.
I’m Qui
Expanding Qui Entertainment everyday and still giddy about kicking it with you.
I refuse to say RIP again –
(even tho I just did) to Whitney Houston.
I won’t make this another sobering piece
about the grim reaper and those that he’s seized.
I refuse to say RIP again — so I’ll say “Hello”.
LIFE is at hand and we’ve got a long way to go.
Love is on the wings and “needs” remain steady.
Sex is still in fashion – just ask Ms. (White) Betty. lol!
LIFE.
So while I refuse to say goodbye – I insist on keeping on trucking.
I may not write another sad piece, but I’ll always be up for some HUGGING.
)))))))HUGS((((((((
I refuse to wallow today in any way that forfeits reflecting my best.
Let us run with veracity and conquer SUCCESS!
…Like Whitney Houston did.
You know she started when she was just a kid…
and so, the world notes her absence – she is already missed.
Kiss! Kiss!

Her LEO sis.

Documenting LIFE OUT LOUD
My Big Momma crossed over the other day
She was 81 and did so without delay.
It was old age – things started shutting down…
I, with the rest of our family gathered around.
Her passing was dignified- she got right to it.
The staff at Hughely Hospital helped us all through it.
In my spiritual eye, it was natural & I wasn’t skerd.
We labored her going out like a family labors a birth.
Dignified
I was strong… I cried.
I was happy for the transitional score,
because old age isn’t Big Momma’s burden no more.
We exited the scene like we were off to revel in fun.
Big Momma was like Jay-Z said, “On to the next one”…

5th Annual TEXAS BLACK FILM FESTIVAL @ Studio Movie Grill Wed. 2/23-Sat. 2/26 10am-Midnight
Okay – Okay I’ve got some BIG DEAL NEWS:
The TEXAS BLACK FILM FESTIVAL will screen a QUI FILMS hue.
“THE CAUCUS” is the name of our short film thats been chosen & given rights
to premier on February 23, 2011 @ 8pm on the Festivals OPENING NIGHT.
I’m happy – I’m giddy. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Last year I claimed “I’D ENTER” then opportunity opened up with ease.
Oooo Weee.
Giancarlo Esposito (Big Brother Julian) hosted the TBFF last year,
and the spirit of his knowledge that impressed upon me like college – is still near.
Insightful stuff.
He encouraged us to persevere and conquer the roughs.
…and I did.
This years film festival finds me ‘not hid’.
This is a huge milestone for me personally and professionally too,
I’m Qui
Digging the constant support of thee & am thrilled to be on debut.
Woot! Woot!
and Ooo!
To: All who are pulling For: My good, “THANK YOU”.
So it’s the first week of 2011 Alas -
I’m in to win it, taking names and kicking fast. lol!
You thought I was going to say kicking ASH. (+/-)

Rooting for our collective prosperity in 2011.
WE BID ADU to the Spirit of GOOD LIFE -
She served us well and she FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT.
Concluding the life of a beautiful WIFE & MOTHER:
Yesterday ELIZABETH EDWARDS braved the end and “crossed over”.
Her life was not an easy one. Many journies were uphill.
Coveting her husband whilst she was sick – was solely a HUNTERS thrill.
A woman in her youth when she met and married her beau.
The Lord said “be frutiful” – so for JOHN she birthed fo’ [4].
And sure enough adversity came at the expense of politics and lack of personal privacy,
but when it came to handling all with grace — Liz’s name sits atop of the hierarchy.
Her strength will be missed, but not ever forgotten by one ME.
I’m Qui
and I thank God she suffers no more – her sweet spirit has been set free.
(Ms. Elizabeth Edwards lost her life to Breast Cancer)
We’re 2/3′s into the month of July
and b.s. news continues to be nigh.
BP is still having issues, though a testing cap [for now] will sufffice;
We’re killing off fish for far longer than we’d wish– thus I’m ordering veggies and rice.
I say “We’re killing off the fish” – because BP is not in this dung alone.
There’s nothing we: AMERICANS like more than our “transportation jones“.
We simply can not do without the frick fracken oil.
Not even if it means our human existence could end in spoil…
at night I toss and turn for future turmoils.
Pres. Obama keeps his nose to the grind stone; Mr. Obama is duly on his job.
But someone in the WH fell for the ‘okey doke’ and encouraged the resignation of Shirley Sherrod.
The NAACP has apoligized for being apart of the duped mob.
In an effort to denouce racism, yoo-hoo’s and anything of the likes
We’ve forfeited research and have performed a face @ nose spite.
only afterwards…do we see the light.
I-yi-yi.
Black News seems to be EVERYDAY these days- There’s so much to pick and choose from
I prefer to paint it in Griot form – makes for a unique an interesting conversational sum.
Mm-yum yum. lol!
Be ye Informed and Be ye Entertained,
I’m am she, a POETIC beast: Ms. Qui is my name.
The News is poetic, insigthful and insane…

We’re destined to die from the day we are born
As of May 9th, 2010 — REST IN PEACE Ms. Lena Horne.
Stormy Weather didn’t come into play on the day that she crossed over,
She reaped good seeds for her PIONEERING deeds. She was a good seed sewer.
Graceful was her entrance onto the stage and her quiet exit followed suit — in style.
I remember Ms. Horne as the (black & white) film star who invoked a little colored girl to SMILE.
The little colored girl was me; the little colored girl is grown today.
What Lena Horne lent me during her TV view has and will continue take me a long way.
We’re destined to die from the day we are born
As of May 9th, 2010 — REST IN PEACE Ms. Lena Horne.
I digg your positive educational style!! Keep doing you!!
It’s February already – in the year of 2010
and I’m digging The Harlem Renaissance all over again.
Reading the literal and jazzy deeds of the 1920′s and 1930′s
invokes an internal fire that ‘edges me on’ to be word wit flirty.
I’m a few years past 30 and I’m doing real good.
I don’t know IT all though much is understood.
Give back to my hood and my people on a whole will thrive;
Keep unity, knowledge, good will, and peace alive. Thrive.
Together we can make it.
Black History is more than a month – I can’t fake it.
I am sexy, black, and perhaps even voluptously fat –
though I’m working out without a doubt to change the weight of that.
Once it was made absolutely clear that: our President is black
Haters lined up to petition to take Black History month back.
I doubt if we’ll so quickly give up honoring the American calendars acknowledgement & designated auto-dated fuel.
I suppose one could ‘shut up an entire race of people’, if they yielded them each:: 40 acres & a mule.
I’m by no means a ‘stand and wait’ kind of chic nor am I a ‘slacker seeking reparations’.
I’m just a black woman who likes to put things on your mind thorugh Griot conversations.
Are you thinking?
[...] grown mind is leading the charge today; It need not be the weekend for me to erect such a say. I do it because I dig the feeling. Uninhibitedly grown – the route is so [...]
I would have Twitted this – but it’s going to have more characters than 140.
In need to blow off a lil’ steam – I’m writing & lip biting – Oooo Lawdy.
An herbal shorty (stuffed hardy) will do me no good at this moment in time
I’m craving to get high off of good knowledge nigh – from a well cultured mind.
Who doesn’t like good head?
I would have Twitted this – but I think the preliminary rules made me agree
that I would use no more than 140 characters and ride the fence of PG
…and well… y’all know me – I’ve got a plethora of things to say.
and I’m hardly disciplined to PG when I’M ON femme word play.’
Let the good mind be fed.

Caveat: Let no puns fall to the curb.

I’m a poet at heart with a specific & broad writers pen;
I’ve been writing in this manner since I was about 10.
28 years have passed & I’m still going strong,
I’m a digger of knowledge – not ingnorant prone.
This is the first of many poetic thwarts that I’ll post on this site.
I appreciate you overlooking our construction updates –while tapping the mic.
Go ahead – follow my lead – drop an oral seed… exhale & write what you like.
