When Friends Speak Da Truf!

I think there is no better way to start the new year than by ridding yourself of thoughts and opinions -- no matter how stank or judgemental -- that you have of whoever -- especially your friends. Keeping stuff inside and talking about others to everyone else except the person you talkin bout is pointless. Dontcha think? And if you can't speak the truth to your friends -- and a true friend should and would be able to tell the difference between evil and just plain ole' keepin that shit real -- then who the fuck can you tell the truth to? Well Wyclef is talking about his friend Lauryn again. When he tried to reach her directly, he could only get one of her personalities, so he has to tell whoever will listen so that it makes its way back to those that are around her and maybe someone will finally help her. He says: "You're up on YouTube, half of your face has red makeup, the other half green, and your hair is barely combed. How you gonna let people see you like that? Someone is pimping Lauryn right now. A true friend would say, 'You have to check yourself into a psychiatrist.' I reached out a few times. I spoke the truth to her, but I realized I wasn't speaking to her but one of her personalities." -- Wyclef Jean on former Fugees member Lauryn Hill. (Giant) How great would it be if 2008 was the year of the come back and the come up? Like what if Lauryn decided to get help and find the source of her hurt and her mental meltdown.....and then made an album about it. Bumchukawowow...that album might could be one of the best ever made ever ever ever. What if Amy decided that crack really is wack and that her genius can't be limited to just one dope album? And then made an album about that. I can't even fathom the hotness. What if Britters decided that being a mom was more important than fuckin papos and eatin' Taco Bell and stoppin' at gas stations just to walk around the bathrooms barefoot? I could give a shit if she made another album....it would just be great to see this bitch finally get her shit together. Things could really be different this year.....and that's the best part about life, isn't it? If you are given the chance to wake up tomorrow, you can always make things better. It's never too late....until it's too late.
