T.I gets his Vote on yesterday in McDonough, GA

I wasn't surprise to hear that T.I. was casting his vote for change yesterday in Henry County located in McDonough, GA around the same time I was voting. This was Tips first time voting, and probably won't be his last. In the past alot of us probably thought our votes never made a difference. Well, that concept has changed as you can see. From Urban to Corporate offices, brothers are beginning to step it up.

Scared Americans

Many people are fearful of what they can't see. They look for a way out and fill that thet can't breath. The economy is in a rutt, and food prices are up. They're looking for a way their families can eat. My answer is vague, you must kill fear by having faith. Faith in goodness and yourself, that in hard times the shift in power is from richest to rags and rags to wealth.

Rumor Report: "They are spiking our Gas so that it burns quicker"

Gas prices have dropped a little. It's still not enough. However, there has been talk that Oil companies are spiking our gas supplies with Ethanol so that it burns quicker causing us to spend more on gas. Greed is a mutha!

Some info on how this works:

The octane number determines how fast it burns.Ex, 89 octane, un-blended fuel will burn the same speed as as 89 octane fuel blended with ethanol. Now, if you took some 89 octane fuel and mixed it with some ethanol (don't try at home), it would increase the octane number and slow the fuel burn.Keep in mind that the octane number (the fuels resistance to detonation under high pressures) is different than the energy content of the fuel. Ethanol has less energy than gasoline does, so you will have to burn more of it to produce the same power. Hence, spending more for Gas even at lower gas prices.

The Obama Assassination Attempt

I was hoping that things had really changed in America. Everyone thought about it but it was not the talk of mass media. Was there going to be an assassination attempt? An educated black man running for President of the United States and having a good chance of making it. This sound familiar doesn't it. The last man many fear to be President who could bring change was Martin Luther King Jr. Now, Obama has his name in history for times to come as the Black Presidential Candidate that made it. There obviously are good people in the world and it is evident that many people's ideology has change since MLK days.

According to CBS4, at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver.

My question is to every one..."Why are the perpetrators being held on drug or weapons charges instead of attempted murder?"

CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass reported one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards."
Law enforcement sources tell Maass that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."

The story began emerging Sunday morning when Aurora police arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. He was driving a rented pickup truck in an erratic manner according to sources.

Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, wigs, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and 44 grams of methamphetamine.

One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.
... authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, identified as Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say Adolph broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later. Sources say he had a handcuff ring and was wearing a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.
A third man -- an associate of Gartrell and Adolph, Nathan Johnson, 32, was also arrested. He told authorities that the two men "planned to kill Barack Obama at his acceptance speech."
...The U.S. Attorneys Office has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon. The U.S. Attorney in Denver said it does not believe there is a credible threat to Obama or the convention.
"It's premature to say that it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out," said a U.S. government official familiar with the investigation. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The Miguel dining experience

Miguel family and Neighbors, Photographyed by Pree Dammond


Amigo and Miguel, Photographed by Pree (Miguel is wearing the hat)

I remember thinking back to when me an my Ex-girlfriend would spend our times together at the local Mexican Restaurants in the Metropolitan areas of Atlanta. Casa Grande on Peachtree St across from Intermezos was one of our favorite dating hang out spot to eat. Now, that I think about...We started our relationship off on Margaritas and Tortilla Chips. I was broke and she was caring. She was down to earth and cool as hell. Well, this past weekend after a quick photo shoot with SJ Photography. I had the pleasure of dining with Miguel. He had just bought a grill and was ready to burn. Miguel had prepared fillet of steaks, grilled onions, grilled jalapenos, and a guacamole mix. Those that know me, know I hate guacamole that is until I've tasted Miguel personal recipe. The steaks were exquisite, and the guacamole superb! I even tried the grilled Catus, which was different. It had a unique flavor, plus Miguel advises that it's good for your digestive system. Now, many of you probably won't get the chance to dine with Miguel due to the spontaneous nature of his grilling. I was blessed to experience it myself. Miguel authentic Mexican entries are non like what you will experience in town. I've conclude that the only way to get true authentic exotic dishes is to visit the homes of these international cooks. Restaurants... however nice, are just not the real deal! Please be-friend those of different ethnicity...if you don't you're losing out!

Keeping it One Hundred my dude!

Keeping it One hundred!

Let me be the first to let you know, for those that don't know what this term means. "Keeping it One Hundred" means staying 100% true to yourself and others. Lies are for punks and if you are truly witty about yourself you will know that the truth is the best game of all. It has been said that the truth shall set you free. This has been the case for me time and time again in relationships, friendships, and business relations.

For example: What does a fool gain from lies about his or her financial statues. A fool pretends to have what he/she has not and by doing so digs a deeper ditch for themselves to die in.

Why pretend? Just keep it one hundred. At least this way, you won't be a broke ass.

"Keeping it One hundred" is a philosophy of mine and I assume this is why people value my opinion and ideas. I live my life trying to experience more and more everyday. I take the time to smell the roses. I choose to play the game of life. I choose to enjoy life's great creations. I would like to think that I have a diverse perspective on places, creations, and people. I plan to increase my knowledge and experience in all of these things til the day I die.

So to conclude if there are things that you would like to change in your life, or you just want to work on bettering yourself. Start by "Keeping it... One hundred."

Jennifer Hudson’s Mother and Brother Shot to Death

Very disturbing Celebrity News:

Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were reportedly found shot to death in their Chicago home Friday afternoon (October 24).

According to breaking news reports, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said officials were dispatched to a South Side home where the bodies of a man and a woman were found, with police saying they believe the shooting was a domestic incident.

A prayer goes out to Jennifer Hudson and family...

ARE WE IN A RECESSION???

ARE WE IN A RECESSION???

There are people who skate around the world Recession. No one wants to finally admit that the US economy is in a Recession. Look around you. I went to Public grocery store last night to purchase things for a meal. I rarely buy a lot of groceries because I hate to waste food, and being that I’m a bachelor the trips to the grocery store really don’t bother me much… it’s just a stop on my way home.

At any rate, I was not amazed to find every item in the store that would be hunger fulfilling was an average of $3.00. A bag of Salad was $3 bucks. Now something is wrong with that. I would almost be better off eating fast food because there’s not much to save anymore from grocery shop. Don’t get it twisted…My health is way more important than saving money so I will continue to shop instead of eating out too much.

Gas prices are finally starting to drop, but is this a sign of another Great depression.

Read the following insert from MSN money talk:

Light, sweet crude was down $4.64 to $63.20 in premarket electronic trading this morning, despite an announcement from OPEC that it will cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day to try to stem crude's recent slide. Three months ago, crude was selling at an all-time high of more than $147 a barrel.
Ministers with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries had been divided over how deeply to cut exports to try to reverse the price slide, given the prospects for a recession in the United States and Europe, as well as recent forecasts from China for slower growth in 2009.
A sharper slowdown in China would likely cause crude prices to plummet even if OPEC holds firm to its production cuts.

The Great Depression

After reading Articles like this, I draw a simple conclusion. This is the time for families to stick together. This is the time for friend to stick together. If there is anyone you love, this is the time to strengthen those bonds.

A lot of people are trying to save money more than anything now. Saving actually hurts us when where in a Recession. Save = not circulating money back into the economy.

For this reason, I understand that Obama’s need to increase Taxes is a valid one. I do believe in McClain Free trade philosophy. We do need free trade, but there should be some restriction on corporate Out-Sourcing. There should be some tax placed on companies that outsource. Taxes shouldn't be so outrages that it cuts all the profits that generated from the decrease cost of labor but the funds generated from the tax should go directly to the State not the Federal Government at which that business resides in. This is my take on the situation.
We could enrich the value of life in that state by distributing those funds to the State. There’s nothing wrong with having State resource that empowers those that do business on State land. This is a volatile market so we have to be careful regarding government control in our everyday lives. We need strengthen checks and balances between Federal and State Government.

My review on "The Comedy experience" Wednesday @ Cenci Lougge

Pree Dammond Reviews:

I would like to start my review off by thanking everyone that made this event and my experience an enjoyable one. Eve and I, really appreciated the love Maurice.

Cenci Lounge is located in the East Atlanta area on Glenwood Ave. This venue has a unique look and appeal if you like the look of an old school open mic room in someones basement. I like eccentric places so the decor was delightful to me. I really enjoy the original Art work that was posted on the burnt orange walls. You could tell this room had a very local business type of feel which i think is what the owners are going for.

As far as the comedian performances:

Comedians and comediennes that stood out the most were Toni Tone (BET Comedian Host), April Body(Atlanta's Hottest Female Comedienne), Clayton(from Elimidate) and Jareed Harrish(Comedy Gold). These guys and gals ROCKED!! even if the show started an hour behind schedule...NO Fault of the promoter of course.

The Comedians had me falling in and out of my seat. I'm sure the Chardonnay had a small roll to play in that but for the most part they did their thing on stage.

I do have to admit, the set up was not right for any comedian performances but who really cares as long as you're having a good time and laughing your rump off. There wasn't a stage and the lights where terrible for the first 10 minutes while the host was warming up the crowd. Being that this was their first comedy showing, we definitely got to attend another comedy experience at Cenci to get the full impact. The crowd was less than packed for their first night, but I'm sure this will change shortly. Great Comedy room for comedians to try new Jokes! I can tell that once you get the hang of stand up it can become addictive. The rush you get from the crowd applauding your performance has to be exciting.

Out of a possible 10 points. I rate this room a 7, based on over all appeal and growth potential for the East Atlanta area.

Mens Fashion trends for 2009

The Deep V neck shirts:

I'm really on the fence about the expected fashion trend of 2009. It has been said that the Deep V neck is a hot look for men, but what about bird chested guys, or hairy chested guys. Is this really appealing to women? I've heard mixed stories from women regarding hairy chest men. Some ladies adore it and other do not. For the most part, the women i meet say they like a little hair on a man's chest. They consider it sexy. We all ready know the answer for bird chested dudes. Keep it in the cage dog! In the picture above Nelly is rocking a deep V...I'm sure ladies out there don't have a problem with him wearing it. I think I'm going to have to experiment for myself on this one to see if women really think it's a hot look. I don't mind putting myself on the spot for the benefit of the people, plus the way i rock it can't be matched.

I would love to hear a woman's perspective on this look!

Wife moving in Pretty Cleaning Lady moving Out!

Today on the morning show with Frank Ski and Wanda, a woman had wrote into the radio station (V-103) expressing their sentiments on what to do with this Beautiful Cleaning lady.

You see this Woman was engaged to be married towards the end of the year and had discussed with her fiance her moving in process. They had agreed that she would move in before they finalize the marriage.

Well, one day she was packing up her things and had decided to take somethings to her new home. When she got there to her surprise was this gorgeous Brazilian cleaning lady. The lady introduced herself as Maria the cleaning lady.

The woman knew that her husband to be had a Maid service due to how busy his work is, but she had no clue that the Maid was as beautiful as Maria.

To conclude, the woman is asking the question. How should she confront her husband to be on what to do with the cleaning lady?

My thoughts:

I think that the wife to be should have a little more self-esteem in the matter. It's obvious that this woman has been the cleaning lady for a while now. It wouldn't be fair to fire her because she's a beautiful woman. On the other hand, what wife says goes in my book. I would still think firing her is the wrong thing to do. I would suggest getting to know the cleaning lady before making a decision on this woman's lively hood. This woman could be supporting a family or worse be a single mom in unfortunate situation trying to provide for her children. Plus, women all over have work so hard in regards to gaining respect in the work place. The Women of today want the job based on Merit, not beauty. Women today, want to be taken serious...for their mind not their bodies.

I can't hold you back from your dreams and I won't try.

You say if you stay in Atlanta you will die.

The way you fly in and out of my life makes me want to cry, but im strong so my tear ducts remain dry.

We share the same passion and goals...it seems you were made for me.

When apart we both grow...just hoping together we'll be. I'm a good man and I hope you realize that...without you I'm cold which makes it harder to come back.

15 Million dollar Stripper Shoe Lawsuit in Florida

I had to share this with you guys. Stories like this one really amaze me. There are hundreds of millionaires being made everyday. You ever wonder how? Read below...I also got a little eye teaser for you at the end.



Charles Privette from Broward County, Florida is filling a lawsuit on Pompano Beach Club " Booby Trap" which is a Strip Club in Florida. Charles claims a dancer's stiletto flew off her foot, shattering a mirrored ceiling and hitting him in the eye while spinning on a stripper's pole.

I personally think this would be a crazy story to tell your kids, when they ask you how did we come into money. How would you explain that?

Play video to get a glimpse of what Charles experienced.

Colin Powell publically supporting Senator Obama

I'm sure that Colin Powell's support of Presidential Candidate Senator Obama comes as a shock to many. It has been rumored that Colin Powell support of the Senator is rooted in Racial affiliation. In other words, there are those that think Powell is only supporting Barack because of Race. This thought is ridiculous. Colin Powell is a very high ranking Official in three Republican administration. It has been stated that Colin Powell was considered to be the mostly likely African American that would have has a chance at becoming President of the United States of America in one point in time. Colin Powell has led the victorious U.S. military during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. He is considered to be a very respected military leader.

Colin Powell decision to support Obama is said to be directly related to the his opposition of John McCain negative campaign ads against Obama. Colin believes that Barack Obama is more suited to lead America out of the financial predicament that we are in. He also feels that John McCain running mate, Sarah Palin is less suited for becoming the next President of the United State of American than Baracks running mate, Joe Biden if God forbid something tragic was to happen to the President.

Pree Dammond escorted by Actress/Model Eve Carter during BET Hip Hop Awards Weekend

BET Hip Hop Awards Weekend was a blast. I had the privilege of being escorted by my friend Eve Carter Actress/Model currently residing in NYC. With so many places to go this weekend, I felt the need to embellish on one of my greatest personality characteristic...spontaneity. I'm a very spontaneous person, some people hate it, and some adore it. I rarely give notice, but my friends and I typically have great admoration for one another. We are very accepting of each others characteristic flaws and perfections so skating through venues is no problem for us.

There's one venue that you must visit when in Atlanta Ga, and that's Over da Edge Restuarant and Lounge owned by Ray Hamilton. I rarely eat full meals at night, but I must co-sign on their signature Spinach Dip. The chips are freshly made on spot, and the dip it's self is like non-other I've tasted. I will definite visit this venue again to get a more in depth experience from their menu. If the spinach dip is that good, the entrees have to be astonding.
Last but not least, I would like to thank those that visit my site. Over the next few month, I will cover alot of different topics and reviews on the City life in ATL.

"Some say my opinion matters." For those that do, Enjoy what's to come from Pdammond.com

"My apologies Beyounce, it was Jasmine Sullivan not you"

Okay, my mistake.

Earlier, I posted a question asking was it Beyounce who sings "Bust Your Window". I thought that the song however creative and great, still inspires those with anger management issue to vent on innocent vehicles and that's just not right. So this is my official apology to Beyounce Knowles, but you must admit...Doesn't Jasmine Sullivan sound a little like Beyounce.

Jasmine is definitely sizzling

Preezie makes "Honorable Mention list"

I didn't win first place this month but I did make Honorable Mention for my Song. I submitted "I miss my baby" which was a song straight from the heart. I had so many mixed emotions that inspired me to write this song. I had just lost the love of my life. I didn't know what to think. Was it my fault? Was it hers? I was bitter, angry, and resentful in all the same time. I was humble and regretful as well. I wrote a series of songs expression my emotions at that time some hurtful some not. At any rate, I want to share with the world my Honorable Mention listing. To view my listing click the link below.

"Patience is a Virtue" by Pree Dammond

Patience is said to be a virtue. I know this to be true. I've realized alot through not having. I've came to accept that I can change everything. I can visualize my success and my prosperity. I can manifest light at the end of a dark tunnel with Faith. I've learn that patience is a great attribute to have. I've learned that it take maturity to unravel the misteries of why patience underlines Faith.

You see having patience keeps you calm, it keeps your mind open and focused at all times. I have patience and I am thankful for my blessings. There are still wants and there are still needs. I know now, what i didn't before. I feel it more. I appreciate alot more than i did before, so in the future I want ignore... those things/feelings/characteristic/virtues that are so hard to come by. All in all, having patience is a virtue and in time good things will be reveal so I can fly.

"Did Beyounce Bust Jay-Zs car Windows out?" What!

Did Beyonce write a song call bust his windows out? This morning I could have sworn I heard her new song on the V-103 radio preaching about how good it feels to bust out a guys car window. Now, I don't know how most feel about this, but I feel that she's sewing negatives seeds in the universe to make a buck if in fact that was her song.
I'm going to keep my ears open for that one. It's enough craziness in the world without a rampage of pissed off women going around busting car windows out. No offense!

I've been in the cut long enough

Last night I had a dream. I guess some would call it a nightmare. My dream was about movement. I can't explain everything in detail at the moment, but believe me my dream was an eye opener all over again. "God gives me the strength to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the things I can not." For this reason, You will hear my thunder as soon as i have unpacked all of these boxes. "Preezieeeeeeee"

I have an internal bleed by Pree Dammond

I feel like I have an internal bleed.

I am happy, I have peace, but I am un-eased. I am blessed by God and for this reason, I have peace. My lively hood needs are met, for this reason I am happy, but I am un-eased.

With all the joy in the world at my foot rest, there is one desire that I can’t seem to put to rest. I have lost, when I have gain. I discovered love, in the course of passionate mingling in the rain.

I embraced her in my arm against the stone, and fell in love with her moans. I know this Woman, for 5 years I’ve known.

My past has caught up with me, so now I moan not in pleasure; it’s more like a Groan.

The internal bleed I speak of, comes from my heart. It’s like a small leak of part of who I am not. The old me is dying…even now as I write, it would seems as if I was crying for this woman whom I’ve known.

5 years it has been and in ever part I have grown. I have grown to realize life, and I have grown to see my own lies. I have grown from within like a Red-Wood, a strong man till I die.

I choose to prosper, even if I have to live with the pain. I choose to not foster, the doubt of not having more joys in the rain.

I welcome the storms of life with vulgar optimism. I love the tides of life…Ups and downs are more like adventures when I feel them.

I am an Aquarius man, and bear the mark of a King. I am blessed with Talents un-seen.

I feel like I have an internal bleed. There so much more to me….that most will never see.

I have an internal bleed, but the rest of me lives on to climb the highest mountain ever dreamed. I am Pree with the inheritance of the season of fall that brings vibrant colors to all.
