This month we have finally gotten over the single thousandths hump for the month and into the ten thousandths mark! This may not mean anything to anyone else but me an a couple other people but it is really remarkable. I am happy but that doesn't mean I'm content with the mark we have made. I want more of course and will get more. But this is a good feeling. I could remember when our first issue came out and just getting 100-300 hits was crazy because we barely promoted except to the people we knew and on Facebook and Myspace. Now without even having to remind people, we have viewers checking out the new info and new issue daily. That's just more motivation to make bigger moves and do bigger things for the magazine and our readers. Thanks you all for sticking around.

Aint No Love in this city.....
I told Mario that I didn't want to talk about the Hip Hop Awards in the magazine for the single reason that people would say "this nigga is just hating cause he aint win". But i'm gonna shine light on a small situation that happened to me before the awards.
Thursday, I called Deavon Hammonds, one of my great journalist, and asked him to put Brandon on the list for JENESIS (which is stupid cause he is part of JENESIS). He then went to tell Duane Mohamed ,or however you spell the niggas name, that he needed to be on the list. Duane goes to say "isn't one of them already nominated for writer of the year?" and Deavon says "yeah but Thomas does mostly interviews he's not a article writer". Duane continues saying "Why is he up for the nomination?" Deavon tells him "the people voted for him thats why" Duane says "Do I have to take him off then". Let's stop the record right there. I'm not even gonna talk about it but I'm gonna let you think what would Thomas say if you know me. *Oh yeah for the groups that attented the event that were nominated, they only received ONE comp ticket and if you had five people in your group, 4 of yall was paying. That was clearly a nigga moment*
To keep it moving I'm going to preview some of my new A-Side ideas that I think will be funny.
The first is about "Businesses not promoting there selves correctly and crying about not getting business." This will be funny because if you live in Pittsburgh you see businesses closing months after they open and most likely they say "we got no support, the people don't know what their missing."
Second, "Why are clubs and promoters copying each other and hurting the night life?" This is funny because Pittsburgh has sprouted more promoters than there are open venues in the city. If another 'bad' promoter comes by me again and screams "We Da Best" and I pass by their event and it's only the 6 dudes in their group, the only 6 friends they have, 3 fake models, and two door men they prolly gonna pay out of their own bank account again I'm gonna explode.
Lastly and probably the funniest, "Why do women cock block?" Does not need explaining. I think in my short stint of club time, I have been blocked better than the opponents going up against the 07-08' New England Patriots. So many women have went to the Pro Bowl off of me in the past five years it's ridiculous. I am positive that every man alive has at least one story they can tell of the one time they were in the club or anywhere that when they went to speak to a lady, either a lonely fat fire breathing or short tree branch wielding bitch known as the protective friend came out of nowhere and successfully sent you home mad. See one just one incarnation of these so called "friends" below:
I'm done for this thought. And if you haven't heard, Soulja Boy said he is the hottest rapper out right now. Let that sink into your brain.

New Year New Whatever
What's up? Happy New Year....yeah whatever. Well to pick up from turning tricks and saving Brian and Brandon's life in the car fire, there is a lot of work to start doing.
With our edition to Mr. Dones to the JENESIS Team, we are filling out good again in the squad. But, we are losing one to London. Mr. J.D Thrasher aka Jamar Thrasher is going to study abroad and he will be greatly missed. But he will keep up and have a new column like a journal for the mag with all the shit he is getting into.
As of late not to much has been going on. JENESIS Magazine was nominated along with some other good sites as Website of the Year for the Pittsburgh Hip Hop Awards. I was also voted Journalist/Writer of the Year. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I've been writing to get that nomination haha j/k. I give it all to my staff for holding it down this long and giving JENESIS readers that good brain food. UPS is also up for Best Duo/Group. You can vote at www.pittsburghhiphopawards.com
I hope no one made new years resolutions cause you won't live up to them by Feb 1st, and I hope people stop saying "everything happens for a reason" as an excuse for something they lazy ass didn't do correct in the first place.

JENESIS Happenings as of late!
This is Thomas from JENESIS Magazine. This is my first time on here so I'm just gonna throw a few things out there and call it a night. Maybe I'll get some of my other writers to blog on here also to help me out.
JENESIS has been making moves as of late with plenty more to come in the future. Starting from October, Brian and I went down to South Beach in Miami, Florida for Business/relaxation work for the magazine. Turned out a pretty good time except for me getting drunk and losing my phone the very FIRST night we where there. But, we were taken care of the whole time. Kaaren let us come through the Versace Mansion and see what the people outside were going crazy for. Sam Hall of MiamiParties.com treated us to a free night of clubbin at Dream( check them out at www.miamiparties.com) . Shout to MIA Skateshop, Solesinc.com, and Workmens.com for for letting us take photos and feature them in the Welcome to Miami section in the magazine.
Also in October we were featured on the "Taking Care of Business" radio show on WAMO. November was a busy month also. We had a successful launch party at Privilege in the Strip November 10th. Packed the place and made a nice run for the party of the year in Pittsburgh. The launch party also set us up for the feature on Channel 11 anchor Darieth Chisolm's show "Impact" in which we were interviewed about JENESIS. Only if you were a old ass person or watched it when we told people to watch it you got to see a glimpse of Brian and I.
Well I think this is enough for now I don't like talking to much and I already went over my limit for today. Flipside
