Starting Over

Well If this wasn't the BC then idk what is. Yes, I cried the whole process. But seriously after it was over I couldn't stop looking in the mirror. So different from my comfort zone. Hate to say but long hair might be over rated. So short hair + natural = me freaking out, but I will try to maintain and keep up. *crosses fingers*

Over It

.....Frederick that is. Seriously when I entered college 3 years ago. I can truly say I haven't looked back since. I'm very blessed and fortunate to have made it out of there. If I wasn't away at school I honestly don't know what my life state would be right now. So when people say "oh you've changed" hmmm, damn right I did. I've learned so much about myself since being away at school. A learning experience I wish many of my friends had the opportunity to enjoy. Now my life is moving and Frederick is in the past. I have no doubt in my mind that anybody that has moved on from there wouldn't say the same thing. And no I haven't forgot the fact that yeah I was born and raised there. Being in a new atmosphere has showed me there's more to life then settling for a minimum wage job or having babies to keep a relationship. Which is all I see when I think of my fellow peers "back home." So forgive me if my outlook on life has changed. PS. I'm educated from the #4 HBCU in the country. What did u expect? *guilty laugh*

Beeeday

I had thee most bashful birthday. Surprise party, dinner and drinks, sleepover, night at the bar. Sad thing is I have no pics. The ones from the surprise party are "too hot for TV" or internet in this case. Never been to a male strip club but if it was anything like the party, its def an experience. I truly enjoyed my 21st. now I just can't spend all my money at the bar on friday nights lmao. But no seriously.

....And the Grammy Goes To

So I watched the Grammy's and the only thing worth talking about is Cee-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow's performance. Can I just say this was the most AMAZING thing. She was so nervous and cute. His outfit (which is homage to Elton John), the puppets, the colors..... yea I'll vouch for all of it.

I Am Not My Hair

Well after being more overly obsessed with my hair then I thought. I decided to take a huge step and ATTEMPT to go natural. Now for anyone that has done my hair knows how thick it is so truly this will be the ultimate challenge. But I'm not bold enough for the BC so I'm just gonna try it by cutting ends gracefully. I'm excited and nervous about the outcome. If my hair was to turn out like Tracee Ellis Ross I would probably build my own church and be its own pastor because that would be a miracle come true. But its gonna be a whole different lifestyle and maybe I'll actually learn to do my own hair. Also I'm not a patient person and I know this won't happen over night *sigh* .....And it begins.

Oprah's Just Like Us

Yeah, Oprah ain't inevitable to everything. She's a coon just like us. She found out she has a long lost sibling, which is always awkward *cough* Anywho the thing that stood out for me was the way her mom reacted when Oprah was questioning her. Ummmm whats the word HESITANT. It rung a bell to me because thats how my mom gets when you've caught her in something. And yes the next question is "What is next?" I mean Oprah might take her on a few trips here and there. As far as giving that bama lump sums of a Mil. Doubt it. As a "behavioral scientist" (as my professor would say) a couple things came to my attention. it funny how both Oprah and her mom dealt with pregnancy. Her mom didn't tell anyone she was pregnant and gave a baby away and Oprah tried to have a secret pregnancy as well, but the baby ended in miscarriage. So now we have to wonder what psychological issues could have been passed down genetically. Interesting. PS. You still my girl Oprah

Meet Me On Bourbon

Well we're headed to the big easy for Spring break 2011. I'M TOO DOWN. I'm sure the pictures will say 1000 words, but the fact that we'll more than likely wake up taking shots might be a concern. I have no idea what to expect which is making it even greater. The parades, floats, costumes, clubs, "Fat Tuesday" itself. Did I mention were staying in the French Quarter, 3 blocks away from Bourbon street, and its not even a ratchet hotel, it has a bar, continental breakfast, pool. Kudos Keyan. Take Off March 5th......and the countdown begins.

PostSecret

Yeah, what he said

This why everybody needs a gay friend, to put shit in prospective. I mean seriously what rebuttal can we fight back with. He's absolutely right!

The More You know

According to Plato in his "Symposium" humans were born with 4 legs, 4 arms, and 2 faces After they talked of climbing up to heaven and replacing the Gods Zeus split them in half to weaken the humans. Plato then writes that humans have been looking for their "soul mate" ever since.
Oh those Greeks got a story for everything. Cute

Tomfoolery

Clearly this is an example of how drunk people create ratings. If anybody was to ask me who or what the hell "Watch What Happens Live" is a week ago I would of had no idea. But thanks to Regina and Ms. Jackee clearly I'm aware. This was the funniest shit I've seen on live TV EVER. Drunk and acting out. I LOVED EVERY SECOND.

Homegirls from 'round the way

At Hampton or college in general we have a title called "back home friends" which are the friends from your hometown. Well these are my homegirls Taraji and Toni. I love these bitches. No explanation necessary.

& That's Fine

This nigga right here. Yall know I've loved him since there timeless, yes TIMELESS "Songs About Jane" dropped back in '02. Now I've never had the itch for white privates, but this picture is Fabulous. is it the tattoos? the red nail polish?? the hair that starts mid-thigh??? the non spartan abs ???? I'm not sure but I'm left wanting more. Kudos photographer you've done your job.

What I Won't Do

Is be "the other women"....yet again. Clearly its just getting unacceptable. It's a disaster lmao but no seriously save yourself ladies. The fact that he can flaunt his bitch and you can't say shit will utterly drive you crazy. The constant wonder if he's with HER. The bi polar feeling of should I be mad or just stay quiet. The wondering of "why don't I have what she has?" Eww and then wishing they would hurry up and end their relationship so you can take her spot. When your in the right state of sanity you realize you don't want her spot he goin do the same shit to you. Oh but lets talk about when you don't even know your the other women. Lordy if this aint a slap in the face. *SIDENOTE* If this does happen to you stay away from social networking sites. Fortunately, I didn't tell twitter my feelings and drama bullshit hourly and it saved my reputation as "Bitter Black Bitch." or I like to think hehe. I learned to follow my gut. PLEASE see the signs. Guys are not hard to understand their black and white, we as women make that grey shit in between. Example; if a guy wants to talk to you, he'll call, if he don't he don't wanna talk to you. Now us as ladies we'll say "oh, maybe he's busy." This is a big ol' -_____- Ladies why are we making it complicated. The excuses you start to make for him get ridiculous. So for your own sanity let it go, you don't deserve "the other women" sash, I sure aint wearing that shit no more. I mean scroll up and look at that face, other woman my ass.

Reality Takover

With my illegal cable back I'm back in the game. They've managed to do it again, provide me with entertainment with these questionable shows.
----"I used to be fat"
First reaction - "Damn I'm lazy as shit" This show makes you feel like "damn why am I on the couch right now?" I sat and ate cupcakes this last episode by the end i felt a little disgusted with myself lmao but no seriously. Glad these people are setting an example to anyone who has issues with their weight. I don't know who motivated me more the trainers or the actual people.
----"16 & Pregnant/ Teen Mom 2"
First Reaction- "I'm going to hell for laughing" There is not even an estimate of times I called one of these girls a "dumb bitch" All I do is smh when I watch this I cannot believe half the stuff these girls say of what happens to them. But they are teens I guess. Taylor Shrug.
----"Basketball Wives"
First reaction- "Here these bitches go" I'm going to write this as if these girls can actually see it
Shaunie- Please, please act your age. Yes, Shaq cheated with homegirls sister but if you stalk that girl (Gloria) one more time I will be forced to call Vh1 and tell them them to rename the show "Mean Girls Adult Edition" Seriously Shaunie your a grown ass women calling your "posse" to ambush THE SISTER and badgering her about her own relationship is clearly middle school.
Gloria- I got a little more respect for you this season. I'm glad ur out the bandwagon, but at the same time don't try to act picture perfect its gonna come back right in your face. You and Suzie having a relationship strictly on the fact that yall hate the other girls is gonna get you so far. *SIDENOTE* As being a person who has first hand seen buddies become "bfffffff's" off the fact that yall have a common denominator makes you look elementary. All you do is gossip about how much you hate "her" not really the typical foundation for "bfffffff's"
Suzie- Learn to watch ya mouth, the situation may have been blown out of proportion but when someone feels betrayed they snap. I'm glad you realize you don't need them either, do you, get your career, and go about your life it'll piss Evelyn off so bad cause you don't give a shit. *SIDENOTE* Yall have realized that when you don't give attention to the people that don't like you it make them more mad right, you know since your going about with your life like you should.
Royce- Your like a cute child. But I must say the way you set up that ambush attack made u lose some cool points. I'm waiting till someone pushes you over the edge I wanna see that inner raft I know You have.
Jennifer- You are so dumb *Antwon Dodson voice* Please get a divorce, the man damn near virtually already signed the papers in his head. He's cheating you know it, hell we know it and we only see yall an hour a week. He doesn't want to seem like the bad guy so he is gonna wait until YOU ask for the divorce. No fucking way in this devils hell I'm texting my husband to set up a date. I should not an apv out on my husband. And yes we get it you don't want a divorce because your a commoner well its time to move on sweety, he's doing him with or without the divorce and you the one looking dumbing sending pigeon carriers tryna find him. You might see that if you get ya head out Evelyns ass.
Evelyn- HAVE A FUCKING SEAT. Clearly you saw yourself on TV and got a little excited. I'm here to let you know without this show we clearly would not know who the fuck you are and with the show your pretty much still irrelevant. Yes Suzie talked shit, we all have had this happen, make your adjustments and move the fuck on. So you were tryna rub into Gloria's face that she doesn't have a ring, let me remind you that you waited 10 years and still aint get a ring. GROW UP. I can't wait till Tami get her hand on you
Tami- You are my homegirl in my head, along with Wendy Williams, Amy Winehouse and Tiffany aka New York. Anywho I'm glad you actually bring the reality into this. You don't beat around the bush which is why I respect you. You also clearly show that you don't need this posse. Your Awesome in my book.
-Sigh, now back to the TV-

Peace & Good Riddance

Well there you have it folks, start of the new year. We say it every year "This is my Year!" Last year I was so convinced that 2010 was bout to be thee BOMB year...well it was a bomb lmao. But I've learned my lessons (yes more than 1). This year is about making me a healthier person. In every aspect; mentally, physically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally. I've got a lot planned and there not going on the back burner. I thought I've don't everything I could to be the best potential person I can be but damn there's sooo much more I can do, I been missing out. So we can say goodbye to 2010 and all the fuckery that may have came along with it and never look back.

Wit My Late Ass

Soooo I went home for the holidays to good ol' direct TV and caught up on ALLLL the movies. But the one that stuck out was "Slumdog Millionaire" my jaw was dropped the whole time. I see what the Oscar hype was now. I've seen documentaries on India's street children but damn this depict of it was just shocking. Not to mention the nightlife seems nothing but dangerous sheesh. Also all that he went through to get back with Latika, over and over, man I need a nigga like that lmao, but no seriously. Kuddos to the movie.

Fab Bitches with Tattoos

Tattoos, yeah I got a few of my own *swift eyes* when getting a tattoo it raises so many questions...Where? Color?? Will it turn out ok??? What will everybody else think???? And after 5 I myself have even wondered why I got this or that. But at the end of the day you wouldn't have gotten the damn thing if it didn't mean anything right? Of course I want more but at the same time I don't wanna look "rachett." Oh and then there's this thing called a "career" so yeah I need to be able to get a job. But then I look at these bitches who make me think "its just art, self-expression" type shit and I'm at a cross roads yet again.

#1 on the "I don't give a fuck" tip my girl Amy

#2 This ol' sweet and innocent songstress Marsha who is a badass deep down. She also has 1 on her back, the other arm, forearm and chest

#3 Keyshia has come a long way and yes, now I do consider her FAB

#4 Can't forget my homegirl Mary

Children x Awesomeness

Ugh wish I could find Black SLASH "ethnic" pics

Vouch

Now y'all know I'm the last person to claim to have "beauty secrets" especially when I don't do shit out of the ordinary. no makeup, homemade remedies, etc. nothing. But dammit I gotta vouch for these two products. If my skin don't feel like silk, no seriously, and its winter....I'M SHOCKED. Twice a week I "exfoliate" (in quotations because I'm doing what I THINK is exfoliating lmao) my face with that dove and that shit has me thinking I'm Halle the next morning. Y'all betta get on!
