What I've learned from 2008


There is SO MUCH that I've learned during this fine year of 2008. Here's a list of things I've encountered which helped shape and mold me into the fine young woman that I am today.


- your Ex's DO end up having kids with other folks and you'll find out through MySpace (thanks MySpace....the ultimate relationship deal-breaker)


- Valentines Day can be celebrated during your lunch hour and you cannot go back into the office wasted thinking that you'll be able to function as if you're sober


- You're heart can be broken more than 1 time by the same person if you let it happen


- If you get dumped, don't go get wasted at the bar every night of the week with friends. Not only will you not be as productive as you once WERE, but you could also end up in the ER and loose your Gallbladder......(yes this happened).
- It can take up to 8 months of you aggressively looking for a new position before you actually land one that you want, even during a recession.
here comes the more uplifting things:
- YES WE CAN!!! You can watch someone you voted for (after loosing two elections to the dumbest man on earth), WIN AND BEGIN TO CHANGE THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN
- You can give as much as you can to those that need it more than you even when you're not rich in any shape or form, you're still doing better than almost ANYONE ELSE in the world. I can prove this theory because you're reading this at a computer......does everyone have access (even if it's not your own) to a computer??? NOT EVERYWHERE.
- You can learn from your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who will tell you the things that matter in the world and put you back in your place.
- You can find the strength to keep on doing what you do best and be the best person you can for yourself and whoever is close to you in your life....in the end, there's always hope and change. You'll get to live to see that happen in your life too.

Mammas Boys....a MUST SEE!!!!


We won't discuss what happened at my Holiday Company party....but we WILL discuss this fantastic new show that I will faithfully watch every Monday night on NBC called (very appropriately), "MAMMAS BOYS"


holy crap what a waste of folks....and as usual fantastic entertainment for myself on a Monday night. They had a sneak peak this past Friday and I watched it for you,....but it "ended" with one of those crappy cliff hangers (TO BE CONTINUED...). I hate when they do that.


Let me just expose a little bit of what great things you'll see on this show; it's about three guys who are all basically poppin' out of the same tummy. Typical New Jersey style Jewish mothers...one is super Catholic and ridiculously raciest it's unbelievable....and every black girl on that show calls her out and one tries to fight her!!! It's simply magical I tell you.


Watch tonights episode with their FIRST elimination......it's CLASSY with a K, I promise :-)

GOT FASHION ON THE MIND?...ME TOO


forget the gifts and the holiday spirit, I've got FASHION on my mind and the only thing that's making me get through this day at the office (besides coffee) is the ability to watch endless amounts of CATWALK shows on youtube........










You're welcome!

I LOVE ART!!!!


Art just makes me flat out happy, it makes me even happier when I see that there are SO MANY talented artists that I don't have to search hard for that are right in my own backyard. Lord knows I LOOOOOVE going to shows and fairs in Brooklyn and Manhattan, but lets me real, I just don't have the time all day to do that stuff.


BEST PART of my day today was learning about this place




enjoy dem apples!


MORAL: surround yourself in art, it will inspire you and make you do things you don't regret ;-)

This is something that you and your friends WILL be sending around to eachother and singing as well as playing over and over again, as if it's a REAL song on the radio ;-)


ENJOY:



Happy Tuesday to you and yours and youress (new word....you like?....tough)

WHY NEW YORK HATES ME & I HATE PARTS OF IT BACK...




So I went to NYC this weekend to catch up on my artistic side of life and learned a few things which I knew, but I didn't want to see for myself. Here they are in no particular order:

#1 When you go to a restaurant in NYC and they ask if you made reservations and you tell them no, DON'T EAT THERE. They will hassle you until you leave because you're "taking up space from other reserved customers". Was I not eating while I was sitting there? I can't tell you how hard it was not to cuss his bitch ass out and make a scene. I seriously have never dealt with anything on that level of rudeness and all that jazz in my entire life and I have worked in a super expensive nice restaurant in DC before and never heard ANY of my managers talk to ANY customer (regardless of if they've made a reservation or not) that way. Not only did the manager walk by me and my friends spot and ask us if our third party was coming yet every 2 seconds, he also made it CLEAR that they had other guests coming to the restuarant and he needed the table and we had X amount of time to order eat and leave. I SH** YOU NOT, here is the restaurant and I didn't get the managers name but I will NEVER go there again. Also side-note, when you eat there and they say SALMON, it literally means that they will only be serving you that one item on a HUGE empty plate and charge 4 times the amount that you should for that. I regreted that entire dinner "experience" and I will NEVER, I repeat NEVER go there again in my life. You'd think that if you payed a sh** load for your meal then at least the atmosphere and staff would be good to you, (well our server was awesome) but the manager needed to be hit across the face with a frying pan Indian style. NEVER GO TO: BAR STUZZICHINI



#2, Every guy in the city thinks that they're Kanye West or Pharrell Williams wearing those NERD ALERT fake "reading" glasses with the thick black frames. I can't WAIT for my kids in the future to look back at pictures and be like, "mommy...they didn't even need to wear glasses, so why are they wearing those big funny looking nerdy glasses mommy?" and I will proudly answer to my kid, "well honey, that's what mark-ass-buster-bammafied-sons-of-bitches wear when they feel that they have nothing to bring to the table except for some trend that everyone else is doing already. We also call them un-original-bammas sweety."



#3 tourists in NYC. Now I KNOW that I don't live in NYC so I can be considured a "tourist" as well....but lets face it, I'm talking about the ones that stand still in the middle of the sidewalk that will get "BLACK FRIDAY WALMARTED" all over the streets when I'm coming through. Lets repeat that shall we??? DON'T STOP ON BUSY SIDEWALKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET WALKED OVER. I wanted to punch everyone and their moms in their corny mid-west-style "Christmas" sweaters and turtlenecks. I wanted to trouble them to a warm glass of "shut the hell up" but realized that I wasn't near any vendor that served warm liquids to cheerfully share with every tourist in the street near me at the moments I needed it most. I turned into a grumpy New Yorker as soon as my plane landed, it's kind of a tradition for me ;-)



#4 Brooklyn doesn't connect to other sections of Brooklyn on the subway....I thought that if you're in Brooklyn you can get to all sections of Brooklyn that you need to without hailing a cab.....WRONG. Apparently you have to go through Manhattan just to get back to another section of Brooklyn. This is frustraiting and takes up about 2 hours of your life just WAITING for the trains to come that you need at that moment. Not fun or cool.


#5 BUY A SUBWAY CARD....I "double-teamed" (as the NYC undercover COPS like to call it) with my friend and got caught. Now I have to pay a ticket that is about 14 times the amount it costs for a $7 card that gives you multiple rides to and from where ever you need to go in NYC. DUMB


I have a new found appreciation for DC and I'm not even kidding you. Not only is my apartment larger than a closet, but it also gets me into the city (in any section) in about 20 minutes. Now THAT'S BEAUTIFUL in my eyes.

WORD UP SON!

Strange Dish and ISH


There are so many strange things that I've discovered about this world and who has help make it what it is today. Not only was the news of the trampled WalMart worker on Black Friday strange to me, but so was this Flamming Lips music vid.

Today's DEEP THOUGHTS....by Semra






So I was thinking today about how strange my dreams at night have been (they involve subba diving and fighting in castles....don't ask), but aside from THAT, I was also thinking about great tag-team collab for music that hasn't been done yet, I know it could and would be FANTASTIC when it does happen.






GWEN STEFANI + PINK = glorious music in my ears






Also, on a side-note, we'll call her African Queen sent me something interesting for those that want to measure themselves when they're at "FULL CAPACITY". Yes this is real, and this is what money is going towards instead of third world countries that are in desperate need of survival items. It actually makes me wanna throw up a little bit when I really sit down and think of a marketing team at a conference table discussing this product. Here it is, what the WORLD has been waiting for:

Britney Spears....just like the rest of us....ummmm


Last night was the premiere of Britney Spear's MTV doc called, "For The Record" Don't worry I watched it for you so you didn't have to. This doc was based on what her life has been like since she appeared at the MTV VMA's this past year. The doc itself in terms of shots and feelings it captures of her I thought reflected a different light than the high flashing lights that target her face in tabloids on the regular basis and make her look HORRIBLE. In the mind-set and season of "giving" I actually found myself feeling really badly for her. Not in that crazy way like that guy on YouTube who was crying about people bugging Britney Spears and all that jazz of psycho-ness, but in that, "she's just like every other clueless Southern girl I've met before in my life" kind of way. She admitted that her choices in who she trusted and hung out with were not the best for her OR her kids; she also discribed her life similar to Ground Hog day as in, waking up and feeling and seeing the world as a strange and scary place.
She wants to TRUST others in an UN-trusting kind of world. Everyone is suspect, and if you're a celebrity you get to live in a bubble because the photographers are HANDS DOWN CRAZY. To see them fighting eachother because they need to get that "ONE SHOT" that nobody else will get and they will be able to live off of it for the next 7 months simply AMAZES me. It's no different than seeing third world countries that fight for their food when the food supply that is donated gets dropped off in the sky. The way they scurry in between cracks of the streets and seep through the walls is truly a scavenger style life they choose to live. It really made me think to myself, "why is fame the way it is?" I don't believe that it has so much to do with the person as much as what they may represent. Which is simply based on ATTENTION....something all humans need in order to feel like they have meaning here. Everyone wants attention. Nobody in the world wants to feel like nobodies looking at them 24/7, the ones that DON'T are usually feeling that way because some sort of abuse took place in their lives which is understandable....Britney said while being interviewed that she didn't like to use the term "victim" when describing her in tabloids etc. Nobody wants to show weakness when they've got a spotlight projected onto them. Who would???
So my question is...why is everyone so pressed for Britney Spears??? Is it because she reps what society WISHES they could have? To me, she seems like that friend you might have (or have heard of), that you saw in ONE extreme and all you were doing was hoping that they would come back to who they were and stop being something that they're not. I think that she HAS gone through enough sh** in her life to make her finally realize the choices she's made HAVE a consiquence, I also know that she's NOT in much control of it because she doesn't shout out loud enough to have it. She needs to be a more demanding person like Madonna or something. THEN and only then, will she stop living in this bubble and make the bubble her BITCH.
WORD Britney, let me be your life coach mama...I will switch up the gears and put your mind back into the place that it should have been in, in the first place.

THIS IS WHAT A BAMMA LOOKS LIKE IF YOU WERE EVER CONFUSED


Music has hit a new low. Instead of making room on the airwaves for actual singers, they've cleared the path for anyone that has a tone-def voice but sings with one of those computer vocal thingys that Akon / Kanye West / Britney Spears / Pussycat dolls / Snoop Dogg/ T-Pain ......the list goes on and on. Do you see the connection with these people? That's right, they're NOT SINGERS although they "pretend" that they are and they're AWFUL when they do try to sing. It's an amazing thing actually because they've somehow been able to step ontop of actual REAL singers and artists and replace our ear drums with CRAP.


Mind bottlin' isn't it???


What lead me to this conclusion? The answer is simple....Akon is in our office right now and I want to throw something at him since he's part of this "movement" of crap music.

NO DOUBT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN LIKE HUMPTY DUMPTY WHILE GREEN LEAVES SHOP




If you know me, then you know I'm OBSESSED with No Doubt. My favorite band of ALL TIME, hands down. Which makes a lot of sense with why I am the way I am which is ALL OVER THE PLACE AT ONCE. Well folks, I just got GREAT news that No Doubt is coming together and will be going on tour in 2009 with a new album!!!!!! That's right! You heard it first. I couldn't BE MORE pressed. This also means that I will be going to as MANY shows in 2009 as I possibly can because I can't get enough of No Doubt EVER. TRUST THAT


Wanna learn a bit more about the gossip? NO DOUBT NEWS




Also, onto other news.....time to get that plane ticket to Amsterdam if you haven't already....they're starting to close down the "coffee shops" and by 2011 they will have completely shut down everything unless you have a written doctors note explaining your "condition" I KNOW I KNOW....I was upset as well when hearing about this magical "free" land closing shop :-( Wanna learn more about it?

Times are hard on everyone....


It's times like this when I sit and wonder.....wonder how do we cut back on un-needed items in our every day lives during this hard ecomonic time.......some of the wealthy have even started to really cut back. Read this article below that tells all, I think you might find it helpful in your life (if you're in this situation as well).

WHAT DOES DC HAVE TO OFFER YOU???


I've grown up in this city, written poems about it, experienced fantastic times in it, and then some not so fantastic times. Most people that aren't from DC move to the area because of jobs. That's basically it, this is a city of constant transition due to the job market. A huge melting pot for all types of folks from around the world in every profession, but what stands out to me the most is the fact that so many folks don't accept this city for what it has to offer, but instead try and compare it with other surrounding cities or something.
DC has a huge history, it's dumb to say that it doesn't posses "personality" because it does. Its constant changing wave of types of people make it that way. It's not a predictable place, it's a controlled environment due to country landmarks, museums as well as having our nations president down the block, so there's a bit of uptightness, but that's because it's THE MOST THREATENED place in the whole US.
So I always wonder why SO MANY folks claim that they HATE DC. When people get TIRED of any environment, they tend to drift and look for something new, but HATE? What's there to hate? This city might be expensive at times but that's because you're not putting energy into finding a good bargain. You can go through this city and find PLENTY to do without paying a dollar, THAT'S MY WORD.

So for folks to say that people aren't kind here, or personal enough...well this isn't the SOUTH so that southern hospitality will only surface when folks from the south move up here. I like this city because it literally has something for everyone, AND those that complain about it aren't SEEKING to find things to do enough; but TRUST ME, there are places to see and all that jazz. Below are some of my favorite things to do and see in DC:


























PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!!!!!!
MORAL: My favorite term to come from DC.... "BAMMA" so many of them and so many ways to use that term. Use it wisely and don't abuse it, or we will take it away from you.

Ways to Improve your life for 2009


We're getting to the end of another year. Hopefully it will continue to end in YOUR FAVOR instead of going all wack and out of control, but I can't promise you a thing. I've noticed around this time of year magazines have the EXACT same themes every single time; they consist of the following:

- holiday foods to prepare this season (it's always pretty much the same thing with maybe ONE new twist)

- New BODY (work out plans)

- New exercise equipment that's created (info-mercials up the waaazzoooo on TV)

- New relationship advice (how to plan for that special someone for the upcoming Hallmark made-up "holiday" AKA: Valentines Day).



NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW.....they always put the word "new" in front of something "old" because they know that there's only so much NEW stuff they can come up with for that next year. Don't deny it either because you know it's true. The goal for everyone I ever encounter in life about the NEW upcoming year is this: SELF IMPROVEMENT

Whatever level of improvement you're looking for, there will be something to help you go into that direction. But folks lets be honest with eachother. You've read my blog long enough now to understand where I might be going with this, almost 100% of the time (unless you're literally dealing with a life/death situation), you will not change as much as you HOPE, because in the end you're always going to be stuck with yourself and not too many people like dramatic changes in their lifestyle (unless it's SUPER NEGATIVE)....or if you're in jail etc. Since there's not too much you can do while you're in there anyways.


So when you're thinking about picking up that magazine that's about to tell you the "SECRET" to a happy new you this new year....put it back on the stand and know that without it, you will really FACE your own reality of what CHANGE you want and need in your life and save $5 too!


Moral: not all lessons are learned through large magazine companies, change yourself on your own first.

New pet PEAVE of the week


So I don't know about you, but I'm not a BIG "texter"; in fact, I can't be because I have THE most ridiculous old school cell phone on the planet therefore I dislike texting. Not only is it one of the most LAZIEST things I've ever heard of, but it's also SUPER impersonal. I understand if you're at a club or some LOUD venue, or you're not supposed to be on your phone....but again, that seems kinda pressed too. What did we do before cell phones? I have an answer for you, we f**king did everything we normally do now without being BOTHERED or worried that we missed a call! PLAN AHEAD PEOPLE, then you won't need to use your cell phone every 2 minutes.

Now I'm just like you, I don't want to be bothered all the time, or checking my phone for missed calls all day long like SOME people I know. Although my cell phone is sitting in my purse pretty much all day, I'm not dependent on it (except for time because I don't have a watch).....ramblin' I know I know, I'll get to my point. Anyways, I got a text the other day to call a number to get a voicemail........................................................are you f**king kidding me? Now I have to get charged for a TEXT and then call some random number to recieve a VOICEMAIL.....news to the person that did this to me: PLEASE CALL MY CELL PHONE AND LEAVE A F**KING MESSAGE LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES.


What's even cuter about this whole "situation" is that when I called the number to listen to the message...I have to go ONLINE to register my cell phones number in order to even LISTEN to the message!
New message to the person that sent me this stupid text and voicemail, I'm not returning your calls...EVER.


HAY DA DIT!


Moral: JUST KEEP IT F**KING REAL!

Best Relationship Advice EVER!!!!


So, as I'm sitting here trying to figure out the concept of life and how having a stable relationship happens, my girl Michele wrote me one of the most AWESOME-EST (new word), things a friend could ever write from one friend to another when contemplating how one should be recognized and treated in a relationship:

"Any guy that had a chance with you should be saying to himself, this girl is so funny she makes me pee my pants a little on a regular basis, so smart that its embarrassing to get into intelligent conversations with her, and so hot that she could def do better than me. I really need to do whatever is humanely possible to make sure I dont screw this up because I am the luckiest man on earth. If he doesnt realize that, if he doesnt appreciate you, if he doesnt spoil you to death and make you feel like the queen of everything, then he is a f***ing moron and lets be honest we dont put up with stupid people."

She kicks MAJOR ass people.


MAKE IT A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!


Moral: There are such things as REAL people...Michele is one of them, you're lucky if you know her personally, I know I AM!

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT OBAMA!!!!!!


I can't joke today...not with what happened last night. Last night was truly a monumental night on so many different levels. I've never seen two speeches that made me appreciate Obama and McCain at the same time but it happened for me. Both were respectful with no low blows, nothing that upset me, if anything it lifted me.


Just knowing that our country will be under a much stronger power that brings promise and change to foreign relations as well as MANY other events that will happen to the American people positively, I must say I am now PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. I know it does sound cliche when everyone mentions "CHANGE" in every other sentence when talking about the future, but if you really sit back and think about it that is the only way to describe what lays ahead in the path for this country. When people get tired, they change whatever it is that is making them feel drained....this came at a key moment when MANY had given up on their own.


This is good people,...I got goosebumps watching everyone celebrate downtown in DC, as well as NYC....Chicago....EVERYWHERE man. It feels SO good. I hope you all feel as good about this as I do. It's time to celebrate and embrace all the events that comes this way for America.




Peace & Love,

Some like it HOT...others...not so much...




Halloween was YAwesome! I encourage everyone of every age and type to slap on a costume during this extremely unpredictable time. Yes I'm somehow trying to merge both Halloween and the elections into one topic and am strugglin' right before your very eyes.




Sarah Palin was a HIT on the streets, and everyone that dressed up like her did the same thing, SLUT IT UP. I swear, not one of these "females" seemed to even bother with anything except to figure out how to slut it up.




girl: "i'm gonna be a toothbrush this year for Halloween....what should I wear?"


friend: "ummm....just wear a towel and say that you 'just got out of the shower', but make sure you don't actually wear ANY clothes underneath the towel"


girl: "that's SUCH a good idea....gosh you're so creative!"




I'm still not sure about how or why Halloween got to be so slutty but it has, but then again there are LOTS of other things I still can't figure out in life. Like dirty south rap, or country music.....just not sure why they are around. ANYWAYZZZZZZ




I was JEM for Halloween this year and then the following night I was GIRLS GONE WILD.....which are the two lovely pics you see above.




I HOPE YOU VOTED TODAY IF YOU ARE REGISTERED AND OF AGE....




YES WE CAN!

Dan Aykroyd...creates one of the 8th wonders of the world


That's right ladies & gents, SNL's very own former cast member Dan Aykroyd has now put all of his time and energy into something most of us have only DREAMED about....he has discovered and created Vodka that's bottled up in a crystal jar (if you will) that's molded from an actual human skull! WHO DOESN'T DREAM OF THIS DAY COMING?


He has by far discovered one of the 8th Wonders Of The WORLD! Who would have thought that a crystal skull would get you so wasted off of delicious Vodka????


Now either I have an enormous drinking problem OR I'm easily amused....TRUE & TRUE! check it out yourself


and when you're done watching that and want another strange distraction check out this guy that beatboxes to the Inspector Gadget theme song!

BIG MOUTH IN LONDON..Lily Allen news


Lily Allen is finally about to break out with a new album. This one will help me get through other tough times in life. I've always loved Lily Allen for two reasons:

#1 she was found on MySpace and became somebody from that, not too many others have

#2 she's British and everything always sounds better when you have a thick English accent that not too many others can understand, it makes you "exotic"


If you believed number 2 than you don't know me that well. She talks sh**, and keeps it real and it goes RIGHT...it don't get no RIGHTER!!! Lily and PINK should get together and make a song, that would kick every other LOVE songs ass out the door! I'm waiting on you Lily!!!

Flava Flav, worst wanna-be-actor on earth

I was flippin' through channels last night trying to find something worth watching on regular TV (thanks mom and dad for not ever putting cable in the house). Apparently I've been spoiled with my stolen cable at my apartment because I know I can fill in endless amounts of wasted hours watching cable crap TV. I'm drifting from my point though...someone at UPN or My CW or whatever the hell that network is now calling themselves now, decided to give Flava Flav his own sitcom.....................................................................................................................................................................................I know, it took my a while to think about what idiot would do that. As if Flava of Love wasn't hard enough to watch, they decided to have Flav memorize lines for a sitcom with some poor actors and throw in every stereotype and fake laughing tracks to make it seem like it's a good show. Well ladies and gents, it's NOT. It (as most things I dislike), made me throw up a little bit in my mouth when I saw it on my TV screen. It's just so damn hard to find good TV now-a-days. It's usually only found on Thursdays. Every other day of the week broadcasts crap.

Lets lay out the characters of this show that Flav stars in:

Flava Flav - rich uncle that's super ebonics ghetto and shout-talks for every line out his mouth since that's the only way he knows how to talk

Husband - Flav's cousin who is a well off realestate agent that only sells to celebrities in California (where the show takes place). Married to gold diggin white skinny blonde woman with two mixed teenagers

Wife - Gold digging woman who married only for the riches and neighborhood, has no mom qualities about her, acts as if her kids aren't even hers

Daughter - almost what Christina Applegate's character was in Married With Children [TRASHY HOOCHIE STYLE]

Son - nerd alert!!! He's wearing clothes like Carlton Banks from Fresh Prince as well as stealing that character that was already made in the early 90's

Maid - Old Asian lady who wears stereotypical asian servant-clothes with those flat rice field picking hats that you would wear out in the fields. She has lots of one liners that basically make every stereotype of Asians put on the front line.

One word can best describe this show called UNDER ONE ROOF.....that word would be AWFUL!

Moral: bad TV is just that...bad TV, don't waste your time on it ever, you'll regret it.

Janet Jackson Cancels Tour...and more news


I was going to try and grap some extra tickets to the Janet Jackson Tour that was going to be in DC this Wed......but I guess I'll just have to dream about it and be glad that I didn't spend a CENT on it since she's cancelled her entire Tour. That's right ladies and gents, Miss Janet has decided that due to her on-going health issues, she won't be able to successfully continue the tour. To be honest, I'm not sure if she will ever come back on a tour like this either. Can't she just do the same stuff that Madonna did as she got older? Whatever Madonna has been doing has been working out GREAT for her and Janet was in that same line of entertainers for my generation. What's good Janet?


Onto other news, I was watching this mini doc on Current.com and found out that 1 in every 2,000 babies are born with ambiguous genitals!!! I just hope I don't have those same issues when and if I decide to have kids in the future.


HAY-DA-DIT!


Moral: Don't always expect those icons to pull through when it comes to preformance time...you may get disapointed like Janet's fans

Britney Spears (her real come back)......


Have you seen Britney Spears new music video for that song WOMANIZOR??? Well consider this an exclusive if you haven't. I'm pretty sure that this means that she's back since this is one of the only new addictive songs she has that's just come out.




Moral: not everything she does turns into ash

Fro-Hawk...or vagina landing strip?


I'm a bit confused with hair these days. Especially since not everyone can get away with them. When someone does something drastically different with their hair, it's because they're either bored with their current look, got out of a completely different life style phase, or just broke up with someone and wanted to switch up their moods and style. All of which are fine ideas and I think that everyone has been through this at least once in their life.


My issue is specifically with the FRO-HAWK. Now I think that this works much better on ladies or guys with long hair because...well...they have LONG hair. For the rest of you, (especially dudes), this makes you look like you have a vagina landing strip. I'm sorry to be the one to say it but it's true. Please just shave it off completely and start all over again.


I blame Diddy and his followers for this one. It's like Mr.T gone bad :-( And I love me some Mr. T folks. I even have a carry around key chain of Mr.T expressions....you think I'm playin?


I PITTY THE FOO' !!!!


Moral: Just don't do it

Who the F*** is Plies????

After reading one of my girls old posts on her blog, I realized something. Who the F*** is Plies? There was a whole YouTube video of these horrid classless dirty south hoes that were trying to be on some coming up reality TV show about an "artist" (if you can call him that), from I-don't-know-where-and-don't-care-USA named PLIES.



Now I like to stay up on my music scene and I know most of the major musicians out there to this day, but as far as SOME of the folks in the rap game, they've slipped through the cracks because they're AWFUL and make horrible rap music. Plies can be added to the AWFUL catagory. Here's what I know or have learned in the past 15 minutes about him:



- He loves to wear gold grillzzzzzz

- He loves hoes (big surprise with the classy females that are going to be featured on his reality TV show....unsure of what network is going to be picking up this crap, probably VH1,MTV or BET).

-He LOOOOOVES wearing a giant necklaces that has a HUGE Nacho Libre wrestling head hanging from his neck at all times.

-He's about to release his third album....anyone heard of the first two? no??....exactly

-He likes to pose in pictures pretending to shoot something with his nuckles (SUPER COOL!)

-He made that song called "SHAWTY" with T Pain...which just happens to be the same song I hit the snooze bar to in the morning when my station ends up playing that and I can't stand waking up to that BS.

- oh I guess he made up that "song" HI HATER....lets be clear about this though, is it still considered a song if all you're doing is talking over the beat with no technique?...Answer is NO



Moral: Plies..............FAIL

JUST FLAT OUT BAD TV



So despite the highlight of TV last night (which was watching the debates like most other folks that care about what might happen to our country), I was busy watching the new season of THE REAL HOUSE WIVES OF ATLANTA on Bravo.....whaaaaaaat!!?? Lets begin with the materialistic-ness that surrounds EVERY SINGLE ONE of these shows. They had the first one in Orange County, CA. followed by the NYC style and now dirty south style. It's like they really have nothing better to do than to throw parties for themselves and talk about what they're wearing. Do folks honestly give a sh** about this type of stuff? Let me take that back because I know that some people do, they're also the folks that I can't kick it with EVER because they're not in a world of reality and are usually dumb as dishwater. Or are people just amazed at how superficial everything is on the shows like I am, so they can't stop watching it? It's like watching a train wreck. It's gotta be one of the two...right!??? It's like when MTV Cribs came out, and everyone believed what they saw. Ummmm I personally know that more than half of those folks borrowed cars for one day, or rented them for one day to show them off as if they owned them, when they definitely didn't. But the general public is just THAT DUMB that they believe anything and everything they see and hear on TV (sh** is depressing).

So after watching those bammafied gold diggin' wives that don't do sh** but spend their husbands money all day and year long, I moved on to an even more despressing show. This is called "I want to be Paris Hilton's new BFF" (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit while I typed that). This is a show about 13-15 girls and guys who want to be Paris Hilton's tools, and have the most stereotypical personalities picked out of a bad Disney movie and don't even personally know Paris; they just know the same things that everyone else in the world knows about her, which is that she's a whore, horrible in bed and has made herself into a celebrity by not doing anything at all. They have challenges on the show such as: who can drink the most and club hop all night with Paris without throwing up. REALLY????!!!??? That's a f***ing challenge?

Lets create another show called "GANGS IN LA" and where gangs will have drive-by's of Paris and her tools of "friends" and just get rid of them all together at the same time :-) They serve no purpose and are a waste to human-kind. Anyone down for this?........


Moral: Don't be a tool...EVER

Teenagers still bother me




So as I'm walking home from work past the construction site near the Metro that they've decided to work on in the middle of what's about to be WINTER....(dummies), I was walking by a few different groups of teenagers that clearly just come to the bus stops in downtown Silver Spring to kick it and be as loud as they can for NO reason except to get approval from their other "going-no-where" mini-me friends. I have one of the largest bags on earth that can fit a small child in it, this is why it's also known as a BABY CHANGING BAG....I didn't realize that that's what it was until I'd already purchased it....side-track to the point of this story. So as I'm walking by this one group of yet again loud and obnoxious teenagers, my bag hits this girls butt. Now my bag hits just about everyone that crosses it's path, it's sorta my bags "thing" if you will. But this fat ass girl turned and goes "ewwwwww why'd you touch my butt" (mind you I had my iShuffle BLASTING in my ears as to not hear nasty old men hit on me when I'm walking home...but I heard her LOUD ASS through my earphones). At that moment there were so many things I wanted to yell back at her, like,



"sorry that my giant bag feels like a hand to your obese teenage body and ass, apparently the fat on your awful NBC news break body thinks that anything touching it might just be a hand; go eat 4 more Big Macs fatty, I know you're thinking about it already"



But, I didn't and I wasn't even facing her so I just kept on walking.






Moral: teenagers, stay in your rRIGHT/ NORMAL weight range...I know that things are happening to your body at this time in your life, but weight shouldn't be something to think about.

R KELLY WILL NEVER STOP


I just saw something that made me wonder where all of our wasted money is going towards these days......apparently some of us have been spending it on him. You know what's so amazing about R Kelly though?.....he can literally TALK SING about just some random old conversation. That's really all he's been doing lately. "TALK SINGING"


The BEST part about what I'm about to show you is the very end...I can't tell if it's real or not, but that sh** is HILARIOUS SON!!!




Moral: Just because you can sing, doesn't mean that you have anything worth while to sing about.....

Sometimes Q-Tip just shows up at your friends store...


Last night I went to an event that made me miss being a DJ again :-( I went to my friends clothing store (which is the sh** by the way on Florida and U St. NW DC), and ended up watching Q-Tip perform some of his new songs from his album coming out next month. Here are the things I learned during this excellent experience:


1) Hip Hop is still alive and breathing

2) Real hip hop crowds do not consist of stank a** people, or over-hyped up folks

3) There is such a thing as an artist who doesn't sell out for some BS

4) Classic hip hop performers (like Q-Tip), are bringing hip hop back to the first days when folks were just trying to make it and would perform on a soap box just to let you hear their music and what they had to say.

5) Q-Tip will be performing in a school gym near you :-) ...no seriously, he's taking it out of the regular music venues to doing this sh** from the bottom up all over again, even when folks already know his name.


I LOVE him....hands down. Not only did he make my ears smile with his music, but he just got me through the week with knowing that he's bringing FRESH SH** BACK! It's really good to know that I don't have to listen to fake a** sh**, or folks that come on WAY TOO thick and HEAVY on the radio. THE GAME is a perfect example of taking it heavy...or G-Unit...or Lil Wayne...the list goes on and on. I'm glad that a regular a** dude (who happens to be a Hip Hop icon) could come into a clothing store and perform new great hits. We can call him a HIP HOP CLASSIC.


THANK YOU Q-TIP, I WILL BE GETTING THAT NEW ALBUM!!!


Moral: Support true and real artists...not the made up sh** that you see in the stores now

hurray!! Everyone's a whore!!!!



It's that time of year again, when every woman gets to dress up like a hooker and every guy gets to put zero effort into a costume and just be a jerk at clubs that host Halloween parties. Folks, it's about to get EXTRA sloppy. I have a love-hate relationship with this "holiday" festival. But I still have a kick a** time over a sh**y night when I'm out on this night. It's time for those creative juices to start flowing with different ideas. Basically if you're a girl, the less you wear the more compliments you'll get. TRUST ME, it's the whores holiday, take it up and do what you do because deep down inside every girl wants to slut it up for a night and have a valid excuse.




But more importantly, how DID this come about? When did the trend of dressing like a total slut take place and out-do those that actually were creative and put a lot of thought into their costume? If I end up having kids, and one is a girl, I better NOT see her wearing the stuff I've been seein' for the past 5 years out in the streets or she'll end up in em'...that's my WORD.




THOUGHTS?




QUESTIONS?




CONCERNS?




HAPPY pre-HALLOWEEN!!!

DEBATES 2008


So things have been extremely busy for me life-wise and office-wise (surprisingly) this week, and since I have some of THE most creative friends on earth with talent, I decided that my fantastic lady CHANTAL should have her chance to shine on today's blog subject :-) Topic, the debate from Friday night


Ok, here are tonight's odds:

-McCain mentions POW camp more than five times: 4-1

-Obama will use the words "hope" and "change" in the same sentence: 2-1

-McCain dies mid-speech: 12-1

-The camera will cut to Sarah Palin in her backyard, rendering whale blubber into oil with her children, Trapdoor and Ratchet: 8-1

-Kanye West, Wyclef Jean and Talib Kweli emerge from backstage for a mini freestyle everytime
Obama makes a "hot point": 5-1

- McCain savagely rips the moderator's esophagus from his throat with one hand: 17-1

- Fox News irrationally speculates about something that didn't happen : 1-1

- Upon conclusion of debate, Obama morphs into a human sized dove and soars out over the crowd, dropping heart shaped American flag pins that float down on little rainbow parachutes: 3-1

- Ralph Nader appears as a surprise guest and recycles himself into a re-usable cloth supermarket bag live on stage: 25-1

- Hillary Clinton is arrested in the parking lot of the Ford Center, after being spotted on top of a hot dog van, holding up the severed head of Joe Biden, loudly reciting an ancient Sarawak chant of the Kayan-Kenyahs tribe: 16-1

Not how I like to spend my evenings....


Last night I went out with two of my girls for dinner and drinks to celebrate LIFE and all the roads it takes us on. During that celebration I was EYE raped by a stranger sitting on a chair that was about 15 feet away from where I was sitting with my girls. They told me at first that he was staring at the back of my head for about 5 minutes, then he was just straight staring at me. I looked at him hard enough to be able to tell if something was wrong with his eye or something....nothing was wrong, he just had a staring problem.


What made it even worse was that he was out on a DATE with some girl who was petting his hair while she sipped her wine and he was staring at ME! Creepy as sh**

Folks, all of this was just TOO MUCH for me to handle so I hope that you don't have to go through what I did last night.



Moral: watch out for eye rapers, they're out there and they're NOT pretty

WHY THERE SHOULD BE NAP TIME IN THE OFFICE


I loooooooooove my sleep. I mean I REALLY REALLY love it, I'm a grumpy person in the morning without it and I don't drink coffee, so I really do need all of my sleep or sometimes someone will get stabbed.

Now wouldn't it be logical for all offices to provide standard NAP TIME for 20 minute power naps IF needed? You know how folks always compare old people to children and how life comes around full circle. Well why waste the pleasures of NAPS when we all know in college we took them between classes and all that jazz!? They make the world a happier place. If you're one that LOOOOVES to just drain yourself for the whole day so that you have ZERO energy by the end, then by all means, keep on husslin'. BUT...for those of you who adore sleepy time just as much as I DO, then people, lets make this movement NOW!


Lets start a study; get some type of research company to support this theory (because you know deep down it's true), and help build a better America and WORLD! I believe that if we all had enough sleep, we wouldn't act out, or jump to conclusions and all sorts of problems would be solved.


WHOSE WITH ME?


Moral: Sometimes sleep IS more important than sex

Why I love YouTube


Dear YouTube,


It's been some time since we've spent endless hours staring deeply into eachothers eyes, wasting time all day when I should be "working" BUT....you're just too damn temping, especially when you have things like THIS:




So my sweet little YouTube, if you keep tempting me, I'm sure to get fired and put out on the street for watching these during office hours...and for that...I thank you.


Sincerely,

GO F**K YOURSELF FRIDAY'S...




Check out those hilarious T-shirts that I think everyone should buy right now. So many options and ways to offend folks, they make great presents for any special occasion, great shirts to wear right before you pop the question to your girlfriend too, it just FEELS RIGHT.

Any fart, so what is today's item of news you ask yourself? Great question and I have a fantastic answer for you.


Today's topic is GO F**K YOURSELF FRIDAY.....hurraaaay! This basically is my mentality today and it might be the lucky day where someone realizes that I'm not doing a damn thing in the office and will fire me (crossing fingers now). Should I just sit here and log onto HULU.com and watch ENDLESS amounts of TV shows that I haven't seen since the early 90's so I can make SURE that I get sent out of this place in style? I'm thinking YES.....my parents would be so proud.


This is literally all I have today, I'm THAT f**king tired..oh one bit of REAL news today: It's "Talk Like a Pirate Day".....and you should find out what your Pirate name is

NEWS NEWS AND MORE NEWS


There were a few things that I read about that have been going down that interest me and probably will interest you JUST as much. Here they are:

*Hacker gets into Sarah Palin's email account and pulls up some more dirt. It's wrong that they hacked into her email account, but I hate her so whatever.
HACKERS HELP PUT PALIN ON BLAST

*R Kelly was intereviewed on BET about being set free into the world of young women and underaged ladies. Worried about your daughter? You probably should be.
R KELLY, RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!

*MTV's TRL finally a goner! Wooohooo, one of my least favorite shows that saturated the minds of children accross the USA is finally going to close down it's doors. After a 10 year run, they're saying goodbye to bad pop music and screaming 15 year olds crying in the background....now if only BET could take off their knock off version of the same thing 106 & Park. Yeah I SAID IT!
MTV says bye to TRL

Why I love Matt Damon again



I just peeped the mini video of Matt Damon talking about his opinion on Sarah Palin....and all I have to say is that he took the words RIGHT out of my mouth. I couldn't have said it better. I also got a kick ass email with pictures of protestering residents of Alaska with all sorts of catchy phrases knocking on Palin. My sister-in-law even told me that one of her friends that lives in Alaska said that more than half of Alaska hates her because they feel that she's an extremist and doesn't represent anyone living up there.


AGREED






Here's the clip from Matt Damon talking about Sarah Palin...enjoy it, I know I did.








Moral: the proof is in the pudding

Jen is getting married to WHO?...he's a bamma


Jennifer Hudsen could do SO much better folks. I know I don't know this PUNK/ Puck....whatever his name is fella, but I know that he looks like a douche and so he just might be that, also he's a tool for being on that show "I Love New York." That so called "woman" is a hotghettomess.com folks.....I still can't believe how scripted all of these shows are etc. and she's just the defintion of GROSS. She reminds me of Wendy Williams. Can you imagine those two together? YUCK




I digress, I love Jen, I think she's cute, has her own little style, can obviously sing and I LOVE the fact that she out did Beyonce (who is played out and over in my eyes...why are people still pressed?) in Dream Girls. Here's the mini article on JEN's Engagement




So Jen's been dating this dude for less than a year. I have a rule (this is just my personal rule from experience), but you really don't know a person that well unless it's been over a year. This isn't always the case for everyone, but I think that most relationships FAIL in a sad way when people get so caught up in the beginning for the first few months...it's like there's nothing left by the end of the relationship. Again, that's just MY opinion on it.




Moral: know who you are and who your significant other is before you pop that question, or slip on that ring...just my heads up.

Where are my ladies at?????????


Today is one of those Monday's where all I want to do is have nap time, eat some Goldfish, drink some juice, and maybe design a new top and listen to Lauryn Hill.......but where IS Miss Hill by the way??? My ears have been hurtin' for something good to go in them. I'm completely unsatisfied with the music scene right now (like many of you out there are too), and I just can't seem to see where or when females will start to take over in an overpopulated MALE industry (big surprise, that's like EVERY industry). I would LOVE to see a change and SOON!


With girls like Palin's daughter not using condoms because there's no music groups out there like TLC was there for me with Left Eye and her condom over her eye to remind me that you need to STRAP UP before you DIVE INTO this, it's hard to see that these little girls have nobody to really look up to. Hannah Montana doesn't count because that's something FAKE to look up to and I hate fake people, we have enough of that in this country.


I just wish that Lauryn would write and sing again like she was put here to do. I know she had that strange Willie Wonka look-a-like style going on for awhile and folks flipped out and knocked her and said she went crazy. I might be one of the only supporters of her Unplugged CD because she really talked about issues that needed to be addressed. I wish that it had gotten more play than it did. Kanye stole a hook from her in his song, ALL FALLS DOWN.


LADIES LETS MAKE A CHANGE...oh and voting for McCain due to him having a so-called "woman" rep their party doesn't count. She's trying to control PERSONAL ISSUES out there for the rest of us, this should not be allowed in politics ever in my eyes.....


SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE UPDATE ME WITH WHERE LAURYN HILL IS PLEASE!???


THANKS!

Palin....and the debate of the WOMAN...



So I hate to turn this blog into anything besides meaningless information and opinions...BUT, I have to put my personal political foot down on a few things. As you have probably figured out by now, I'm a pretty liberal person. That's just me, and if you're extremely conservative then that's fine too, I honestly don't knock peoples own style, BUT...when it interferes with a womans body or circumstance, then I differ A LOT with peoples opinions.




This whole Palin being a woman and "breaking the glass ceiling" for other women...I'm just NOT buying it. Here's the situation and how I see it...Obama had this upper hand with the conversation of CHANGE and how he and his party would make those differences in our country as a whole, then he brought on board Biden because of his politics and experience with WORLD RELATIONS (something that we've been lacking for the past 8 years). This is brought up EVERY time I travel overseas so please don't argue with me about this because you will loose.




So then there's McCain (I don't have a HUGE problem with HIM specifically, but I differ in his options on a lot of topics), I actually don't mind the guy that much otherwise; he's no Obama (that's for sure) and I'm not voting for McCain, BUT...it might not be the end of the this country if he got elected into office if it wasn't for one other person that would be put in there too and her name is Palin. Now THIS is where the bad stuff starts to paint into the picture of reality (or in her case, lack there of since she's lived in a bubble since birth). I know the arguements of how much the VP doesn't affect what the president does and what the whole purpose is in having a VP in the first place, but lets look at one person that's changed the face of VP's in our history and could be compared to the DEVIL...his name is Chaney and he's a SCARY MUTHA F**KA. He's the reason why there CAN be bad decisions made if you have a weak president...or one that would pass away as soon as they were elected (McCain is a prime example of that happening), which would then mean that Palin would take over.




HUGE PROBLEM, among the fact that Palin won't allow anyone to interview her (because Republicans are trying to cover all the WRONGS with her family and their past and need time to do this), she is not the type of "WOMAN" that I've grown up knowing or being close to or admiring, or one that even cares about other womens rights! She's a clone of what every conservative MAN on earth has wanted from a woman (one that agrees with them ALL THE TIME and just stands there and doesn't do much else)...well folks she's THAT woman, that much is true and proven with everything that comes out of her mouth.


I found out something this week that really pissed the SH** out of me dealing with her as well. Her city was charging fees to victims of rape for kits that help fight off diseases etc. (anywhere else you go to in our country they are FREE because nobody CHOOSES to be raped), it's a crime and should ALWAYS be punished, so what does our friend Palin do? She punishes the victims! What a wonderful human. Apparently she's THAT religious that she believes that RAPE is "gods will" and she wanted to make a point by being Satin and destroy women who are helpless victims (what a great person to represent out country).




So here's another article that I read today from The Washington Post about our friend Palin and apparently the women that are impressed and support her because she's a mother and a multi-tasker (fart). I wish they would have come to ME and asked my opinion, seems pretty biased with the types of women that they picked to interview...but whatever, not really that surprised since it supports the view of the article to begin with.








Moral: Fight for something worth fighting for
