[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

In light of recent events and the majority of the cB community generally wanting to bring together a closer community, I took the liberty of re-starting a thread that BrandonSaunders started a while ago. I thought a new one should be made, to start fresh and new and this way we could all get closer. I think this is one of the few topics where we SHOULD have a version 2/3/4 and so on, because it's a topic where I am asking, as Brandon asked that we all share stories and opinions and feelings and interact.

Reference to his topic, and ideas of questions and such to ask can be found here : http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...=115046&hl=


As Brandon said :

For the most part, most of us are nothing more than screennames and links to networking and blogging mediums.

Lets take the opportunity to get to know each other. Feel free to ask someone (in here) a few questions about them; something that has always interested you about the person. Try to maintain proper decorum, but make an effort to reach out to someone instead of wondering what someone is really like.

I'm an open book. So I guess yous can all start by asking me something.

This should be fun...

This time, you could start by asking me something, or asking someone else something that you've always itched to ask about.



Im Isabella. Im 14 going on 15, but people usually mistake me for somebody 16-19. Not really because I have an 'old' looking face but because of my general appearance and demeanor. I know online i seem childish and immature to many of you, but that's becase this is the internet and I dont give a f**k. But to people I know in person, they see me as very mature and grown. Maybe it's because of events in my life that have made it hard for me to have a normal childhood. For instance, I used to find solace in gang life and activity because I thought it was somewhere I could fit in and find respect and power but then my long term boyfriend and whom i believe to be my first love was shto and murdered and I realized this wasn't the life I wanted to lead, living each day worrying whether or not it would be my last or if I'd wake up tomorrow. I was molested, physically and sexually abused by 2 different boyfreinds and a friend of a friend. I look for love and reassurance in all the wrong places because my parents are ... the epitome of a failed marriage. All i have known from my parents is hatred. All they do is fight and yell and take it out on the children. Im also not exactly poor but yet, my family barely manages to live paycheck to paycheck. Any questions ? Does anyone want me to go into depth about the gangs, the abuse experiences, the family ? Feel free to ask questions.

well atleast part of that does make me think of myself and the young love thing and you were pretty young when he died.
So on so on.

I'm not going to tell you had a hard life though, because its life. No one ever said it was going to be simple. =/

Well I'm Holly. Most people on this site hate me. Because people take things differently then how you really meant them if you were infront of them talking about it. Anyway if anyone ever wanted to know anything about me then well go read my introduction in the moderator introductions. or Just IM me 0_o


I don't think anyone will take this topic seriously. Atleast some have =/

I guess you could say so. In comparison to many others I guess I have. But I am learning to appreciate that I have had a tough life because it makes me stronger in the long run. At the time of the events, I felt alone and weak and worthless, stupid and naive. But now, years, months, weeks later I look back on the experience and take as much wisdom from those experiences as I can. Many, many of my friends come to me for advice and say that they think i have all the answers, and many refer to me as their therapist because I always help them with advice one way or the other because I have been through a lot. I think people who have had easy lifes, lives that they just sail through from one great thing to another are cheated of a better living. As the saying goes, you can never be truly happy until you've been truly sad. Without something to make you appreciate what you have, how appreciative can you truly be ?

^ That one right there. Sorry if this comes off a bit rude but what are you trying to accomplish in telling me "it's life." In the quote of mine I just showed you I think i pretty much state Im grateful for the hardships.

akss me a question

Where'd you learn about aaall the music and producers and new bands and all the music in general that you know about ? I remember you and Brandon knew A LOT and i used to wonder how you'd figure it all out.

when i was in middle school i sold bootleg cds and i had over 60 GB of music. there was this one site i always went to (itsbx.com) and they had every single album you could ever dream of available to download for free. i downloaded everything i could and i eventually started listening to them. there was no friend who introduced me to good artists so it is kind of amazing that i have such a different music taste lol
