We. Need. To. Do. Better.

We need to get our priorities straight as a country. I'm sorry. It feels as if we're focusing on the wrong things because we don't want to face the bigger issues. So when the bigger issues get too big to ignore, we have the nerve to act shocked. No. You (America) knew this was there all along. Let me explain a few issues here...

Peggy Scott Adams-"Bill"

Just heard this song for the first time last night in the sacuary of my aunt's car. Or at least I thought it was a sancuary. Out of pure curiousity, I asked her to play this song. She laughed and told me to find it on her iPod. Though I was momentarily distracted by songs of hers titled "Your Divorce Has Been Denied" and "A Woman Knows How To Please Herself" (yes, it is about what you think it's about.), I finally found what I was looking for. My thoughts on the song?
....

WILD!

I haven't felt that  special mix of feeling devastated and laughing uncontrollably since I heard that damn "Candy Licker" song when I was a teenager. Is THIS what our folks were listening to back in the day, pre- R. Kelly? The subject itself isn't brand new to us, but still....it is kind of shocking to find out that the same people who told us to slow down and not be so loose etc. were the ones listening to this. It makes you wonder...what else did they do back then?

Nevermind, I don't wanna know.

Enjoy folks. And remember ladies, make sure you AND your man knows exactly what he wants. Smh.

Pharrell's Strange XXL Interview

So I'm watching this video, and after the first fews seconds I could hear my brother's voice inside my head saying "I TOLD YOU HE WAS ON DAT $#%T!!!!" Now, I'm not trying to start a rumor or anything, but...really Pharrell?! Really?!

*insert massive eye roll here*

That wasn't even funny. It was just....strange... the dude on the other end should've cussed him out on camera. That's what I would've done. Boy bye!

Chile, anyways, enjoy I guess.

Antoine Is Looking For You!

Okay, the situation itself is not funny. It's disturbing. You'd be freaking out too if you wake up to find some stranger attacking you! And I was prepared to get all huffed up and outraged over the situation right along with them. Arming myself with comments about security and things of that nature.

Then along came Antoine.

Chiiiile...

I thought he was the dude who attacked her at first before I pressed the play button.
but no, he's her sister (yes I said that right, genetics be damned *snaps & twists neck*). The minute he opened his mouth and delivered his opening speech, my soul closed it's casket. Antoine took this from being tragic to downright hilarious.

Serious tip though, I hope they find the guy and put him away. And I'm glad that Antoine was actually there.

And remember that Antoine is looking for you! So you can run and tell THAT....HOMEBOY!

Is Kissing Cheating? And The Glorious Apple Scene.

Okay, so the subject is interesting. Is kissing considered cheating? In my book it definitely is an act of disloyalty, but quite a few people seem to disagree. The main excuse seems to be "it's just a kiss. What's the big deal?" Well, I'd say that if it was just a regular peck, I'd be fine. But when you go in like the dude in this video does with the apple, then we have a serious problem. How you figure that's "just a kiss"? Help me understand how you seen innocence in the act of licking the back of someone else's throat besides your significant other? But again, that's just my opinion. Anywho, enjoy the apple scene!

Pharrell Talks About His Tank Chairs

       First off, I'd like to give a Happy Belated Birthday wish to Pharrell. Don't ask me how old he is though. Not a clue.
       And now to the video. He talks about the new chairs that he's designed with Emmanuel Perrotin called "The Tank Chair" They're...interesting.... This isn't the first time he's designed some weird furniture, but tis time around these chairs seem to be less spooky. And although this may not be something that I would get hyped about, his vision is quite respected around these parts. Let's compare the two chairs shall we?

I'm...just...sayin'...

Cocky?! Exit. Stage. Left.

I fail to understand something here. Ladies (and Gentlemen) please riddle me this: Is there anything even remotely attractive about assholes? Seriously. I'd really like to know. Let me just jump right into the rant.

When I see a guy being an ass, somewhere in the back of my mind, pure hatred begins to blossom. When I was younger, I used to be attracted to some guys who were complete assholes. But the older I got, the more I saw (and continue to see) that these same men who were so full of "confidence" were nothing more than arrogant, lost and miserable little men looking for someone to overpower so that they can feel better about themselves. One would classify them as bullies, but chances are that if you stand up to them and tell them off one good time, they break way too easily. In fact, it is my personal belief that the bigger the asshole, the more you'll find large amounts of insecurities and shortcomings mixed and congealed together on the inside like pie filling. Maybe he's afraid of women? Maybe he's afraid that you'll walk all over him? Maybe he has a fear of abandonment/closeness? Maybe he has mommy issues? Maybe he has daddy issues? Whatever it is, he's using his ego to cover it up. He's not comfortable in his own skin, and can't exactly live up to the expectations of being considered a Grown Man, nor can he even began to grasp the concept of what it means to be one. Plain and simple. So instead of learning how to be one, he puffs out his little chest and dons a nasty attidude. He fancies himself a "Man" by treating others like shit and considers himself above everybody else. He begins to believe that everything he does and has done in the past will go unpunished. He is, of coarse, wrong, but he won't listen to anybody when they tell him this. He simply refuses to see himself for what he really is. So how is this type of male sexy? I simply fail to understand...
And apparently, so does he...
So therefore I say, I simply cannot stand assholes! And if I see one, I simply turn my head and keep it moving. I want nothing to do with them.

End Rant.

D.O.S (Death Of Swagg, and your cousins....)

This shite right here is the reason why the word ''Swagg'' is no longer in my everyday vocabulary. If you ain't talkin' about a valance or a curtain, then I refuse to listen. Who the hell let Vonquasha 'nem  in the studio anyways? I swear...

My own inner hoodrat has more class than this. If you've enjoyed this musical selection, then please turn off your computer. You are no longer allowed to use the internet. Now go to bed! Shit!

Well...Really Pharrell, I Just Can't.....

So last month on my new blog called Shoe Lust: An Unhealthy Craving For Soles , I did a post about the Christian Louboutins studded mens sneakers with the $1200 price tag. When I saw those I said "Hey, those are kinda cute...", when I saw the price tag I said "Not for that price!!" and said so in the post. Now this pic of Pharrell has shown up on the net of his wearing the same shoes. Have a look...

I still say no. Not for that price, and I will not be swayed otherwise. That is all.

Death and Dismemberment! Brought to you by Melo & Axe

 WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK, LIFE, EYES, AND INSIDES!

Here's my verdict for this video....
Your backwards random bored ill-shaped high cholesterol heavy breathing after every third word silly hoodrat no shame nor common sense having cousin Melo needs to re-evaluate her life. Ladies does this turn you on? Does this make you wanna switch teams? If anything she gives new meaning to the saying "scared straight". Chiiiiile.....

PSA TIME: 115 Out Of 800 Girls Pregnant In Chicago High School

I would say that this is unbelievable, but then again it isn't.

The first question is instinctive: who do we blame? The teens? The parents? The school system? The system? There are so many places to point fingers at, and a person only has ten.
But then again, a more important question comes to mind: what can we do about the entire situation? Because from what I'm seeing, if the amount of teen pregnancy is that high in that school, then think about the number of kids who probably have STD's. Now think about the fact that this just one school, and there are tons of schools out there all over the country going through the same thing.  God bless and help those girls. Smh.

Something has to be done.

Dignity On A Leave Of Absence

Yes, I admit it! My guilty pleasure as of late has been female vs. female fuckery.

    I'm talking from the slick, sideways, nasty, or just downright vicious comments left on myspace/facebook/twitter, right down to the "B.O.B (bombs over Baghdad)" cat fights. The rate of women (and even some men) young and old putting there dignities on hold and stepping down from their thrones to go "handle a bitch" is growing everyday. You see it online at your favorite social networking site, on the street, in the stores or malls, on tv, at somebody's house down across the street, in schools, even in the church. Women everywhere are saying "oh hell naw, this bitch..." , taking off their earrings and getting ready to BANG!

All for what you ask?

Over a MAN!


     Now although this isn't exactly new to any of us, it  has become a growing  problem. I haven't really noticed it until recently. I was online, cruising the scene and checking up on friends, when I saw something that tickled me to death! As I was looking through on of my male friends page and being nosey I checked out the comments part. This chick was going in on another female with the classic "step up off my man" speech. Now, putting aside the misspelled words and severe lack of punctuation (which was the really funny part. I was like "please don't tell me she got past grade school with this shit? I fail to understand!) I thought to myself, "Is it even all that Shakespearean?" And that's when my eyes opened and I saw it; Women everywhere doing the same shit, on a much grander scale. I even went to World Star Hip Hop to see some of the cat fights. And while it was all quite entertaining, it got me to thinking: Why?
     My Mama always said one thing in various ways: "I am not gonna stress over one piece of man". And you know what, she's right! I know love can make you do some crazy things, but seriously? All the bitching and fighting over the same dude who is probably working on chick number three while y'all are busy snatching each other's hair out and beating each other to a bloody pulp. The only one who really wins is him. If you must beat on somebody, beat him! If you have to cuss somebody out, cuss him out! If you feel the need to go in at every female that says hi to your man, then maybe you need to look at yourself and the relationship, because there is obviously a trust/security issue going on there. If your man cheated, let him go or work it out. If you're with a guy who has an ex openly pining for him, then LET THEM! Yeah, I said it. Let Them Pine Away! The way I see it, as long as your man or the other woman don't truly cross the line, then the relationship should not be shaken by yours or her jealousy. If you're the piner, then maybe it's time to let go. And to both parties: if you've found him, you can find another one. Men are definitely NOT on the endangered species list baby, there's enough for everybody. I don't care if he has money, gives that good pipe, drives a nice car, pays the bills, has a good job, or a job period! It just even worth it to throw your dignity and self respect to the side just to "handle that bitch".

     Ladies, we gotta do better, for ourselves and for each other. Be the bigger person. Step away from the situation or handle it like adults. Didn't we leave all that bickering and arguing in the school yards, cafeteria's and hallways in high school? I'm just sayin'. Just remember that the younger generation are watching us. Is this the example we want to set for them?
