… it’s the day I get to wake up and realize that despite all the madness, drama and other bullshit that I’ve endured over the past 20-some odd years I’ve survived them long enough to see another born day. The past 365 have been significantly tougher than usual, as this time last year I had just come back from a three week stay in New York and was neck-deep in unemployment thanks to a combination of living in one of the brokest states in the country (California FTsWindle?) and the reverberations of the Hollywood writer’s strike of 2007 still being felt. So, per usual, I took to this site as an escape from the 50-11 freelancing gigs I had to do to keep the lights on in my studio apartment no-room mansion.
Fast-forward six months and this “escape” has turned into a somewhat lucrative opportunity, which in turn has helped me get back on my feet and out to New York, where I’ve always wanted to be, on top of the fact that I’ve proved statistics wrong by not getting locked up, shot, addicted to drugs or dead by the time I hit 25. If anything, I’d like to thank whatever deity that is watching over me from above for allowing me to inhale and exhale each and every day, as well as those whom I’ve allowed into my cypher to elevate me both mentally and emotionally. Extra shouts to the NMC family, and a special shouts goes to my Vegas brother from another mother, because without him this entire thing would not exist (then who would you go to for your daily fix, the online equivalent of the National Enquirer? Bwah!).
Anyways, I got more music to do/articles to write/people to make fun of, so I’ll end things here.

At the end of the day, what we all fail to realize is that, we are alive. As long as we have health, everything and anything is attainable. So the next time you worry about anything that might hit or scrape you, just remember…YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BREATHING FRESH AIR OUTSIDE!
o ya and cali was still the FIRST state to allow medicinal use. so jersey and the rest of u 13 states is still bitin us like u r on the bangin tip
Happy Bornday Mek!
Happy bornday MekDot!!

Original. Your mother’s probably still sure she miscarried. Happy Bornday Mek.
Happy B-day man!

That’s a really nice picture of you Meka…
YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BREATHING FRESH AIR OUTSIDE!
alot of other people do to. doesnt make them any special
But a lot of people are also in chemotherapy, stuck in a hospital, locked up in 24 hour confinement and dead…so if you really think about your statement, it does make the percentage that is able to breathe fresh air SPECIAL.
happy birthday!
Mines tomorrow
Happy Birthday, Sir. Love the site. Just don’t get too into the ‘deity above’ shit. There’s nothing. At all. Remember what it was like before you were born? Same after you die. Church folks are just shouting things that make ‘em feel better. Be good to one another because it’s the right thing to do, but not because you think there’s a golden palace in the sky. There ain’t.
hey we have the same birthday!!!! nice. happy birthday meka!!
hey we have the same birthday. nice. happy birthday meka!!!
@Ray Elec-Hanukkah.
Yeah, uh, fuck you. I can see Bornday, Joyeux Anniversaire, Birthday or whatever the fuck I please.
hey we have the same birthday, nice. happy birthday meka!!!
hah my shit wasnt posting then i check with a different browser and its there.
Happy Birthday man
@Brian. Your statement is as much propaganda as the church ones are.

happy bornday homie!!!
Please don’t let this turn into a religion argument post…lol
Wow swear yall find anything to argue about these days, guess everyone feels they have to prove that they are more intelligent than everyone else and pick fights for really no reason…who the fuck cares how some1 says it, they all mean the same thing….’Happy Birthday/Bornday’ Mekangelo
lmaooo @ lucky to be alive at 25. too much rap Meka.
regardless, happy BDay
We all go through hard times. Getting through them only makes us stronger. Feliz cupleanos Meka!
Happy birthday dude.
If you wish someone a Happy “Bornday” or a Merry “xmas” you have ulterior motives PERIOD, you either hate the person and you just say it cause everyone else did or you hate the holiday or birthdays in general. Its disrespect. Wtf does it even mean? BORNDAY? THAT WORD IS NOT IN THE DICTIONARY so how can you wish it? W.e Cool but “Happy bday?” wtf is bday? Do you mean D-Day? Bday? you lazy typing ass mufucka’s…
“I Swear the next person that come at me on some (B-day, Bornday, Xmas) shit, ima fucking give it to him like a charity”
^wtf is he so mad about
happy birthday mek dot
its my moms too…
happy physical anniversary meka…enjoy it and have a great time tonight (be safe as well)
peace
happy birthday. thank you for giving me something to read daily.
You’re right, ‘Um’. But your name is as much propaganda as what I say out loud before I formulate an opinion. Kidding. Re-read my shit, and it’s maybe a bit strong. But it’s how I feel. Happy Birthday to the man of the hour, and good luck to those that disagree. I’m just saying think about it. A magical man in the fuckin’ sky?!
lol ‘dynamic shots’. Fair enough.
@Ray ElecHannakuh aka Meka’s bodyguard…I’m sure there’s more important things to get worked up about than how some1 compliments Meka on making it to another year…why are you taking offense to what some1 said TO Meka? they were directing it to Meka NOT u..if Meka isn’t offended then stfu and find something else better to do
same born day as my pops, good day.
Happy Birthday
Happy B-day dude.
@Jonnie Hayward aka Let Me Throw My 5 Cents in and get it kicked back at me….
Im not defending anyone, im appalled at society, it so happens that it was once again revealed to me in this post and I FELT like stating my ever so needed opinion in hopes it would change the blind….but as usual, it wont and never will. You are now dismissed, carry on
Did this turn into the Random Acts of Fuckery? Jeez why do a lot of you have your panties in a knot?
Happy Born Meka! Get it in and be safe.
Happy Birthday Meka. Thanks for the music and the watch i won.Best of luck to you and thanks again.
happy bday
Happy Birthday Meka!
Happy Birthday Meka!!!
And Just to get under @Ray Elec-Hanukkah skin
Happy BORN DAY Meka!
Happy BDAY Meka!
and i know i’m late with this but Merry Xmas too!
Seriously what is disrespectful is not acknowledging his birthday not how you say it.
@Ray Elec-Hannakuh aka Let Me Pull A Hissy Fit Over Dumb Shit..U did more than state ur opinion u also went at somebody..and there are other negative things going on society that are more important how some1 wishes somebody happy birthday, if Meka doesn’t think its disrespectful than it is none of your business..matter fact its none of our business its between whoever said “happy bornday” and Meka..ur opinion of how some1 compliments Meka is irrelevant and all ur doing is wasting ur time getting so worked up about it
It’s my birthday also Meka no joke, happy birthday my brotha
- A young man in this game of life
Happy Birthday man. It’s mine also.
