Chris and Rihanna Gate

I know I maybe a tad bit late writing about this but damint I have job, so here's my two cents about the recent endeavors of Chris and Rihanna. Well I'm sure you've all have heard the two songs these two have put out this week, if you haven't been living under a rock but if you have been living in Bedrock for the past week here you go.


So let's go ahead and get into this because people have been talking. Let's start with Rihanna.

Girl, I have actually become a fan of yours somewhere between your Rated R and this Talk that Talk albums I have actually come to like you. But my dear let's just keep it funky. You putting Chris Breezy on this Birthday Cake remix is just..... well its just may not smart career wise. Look I personally don't care about you doing this or the fact that you're probably still riding that spear of a penis he has, we've all seen the pics of that thing. If you've forgiven him for A-Town stomping all over your face, then girl good for you. You clearly don't give a fuck about what people have to say about this collabo, as you've continuously said on twitter. We get it you're about that THUG LIFE as you've so clearly have tatted that on your fingers. Cute for you! You don't wanna be the poster child for domestic violence okay fine, nobody said you have to be but I do think you kind of said that yourself on 20/20 but we won't get into that. Like I said I personally don't care but girl there are a lot of folks that do care, i.e. Miranda Lambert and Elizabeth Hassleback. Since I mentioned them let me get into their asses. Listen I know domestic violence is a serious thing but y'all crying and shit on The View every time Chris Brown opens his mouth is just ridiculous. The boy did his community service and whatnot, if the victim of the crime is over it than y'all need to be too. Protesting him and saying he doesn't deserve to be at the Grammys, which is a musical award show is just stupid. Where this boy has proven he deserves to be there based on his musical achievements. Y'all need to have stadium seats because nobody on this Earth is without sin. I'm not saying what he did is right but Miranda some may say you just be on an episode of Cheaters, being that you pulled an Alicia Keys and stole Blake Shelton from his 1st wife. A sin is a sin and a lie is a lie..... so just keep it cute. Now back to Rihanna look the people you buy you Cds and go to your show aren't really people like me. Who doesn't give a hot damn about you and Chris Brown doing this but its folks like Miranda Lambert that buys your shit. That's your bread and butter baby and they have all kinds of problem with this boy. So what you're doing is alienating your audience and let's be real you don't have a voice like Adele or can dance like Janet. If you really think about it you're very replaceable and you can go to the left, to the left. So just be careful girl but hell maybe you did all this just to keep you're name in people's mouths. Any publicity is good publicity right? Either way good luck to you.

Chris Brown sir, sweetie, little boy, honey chile. Look you did something horrific to Rihanna. Now nobody really knows what happened that faithfully February night but the two of you. Clearly she's forgiven you but the world in general HASN'T. Like I said previously I personally don't care you didn't beat me, my sister, my mama, my dog, or anybody I know but that's just me. This incident is gonna follow you for the rest of your life and the day after you died. It's gonna follow you like Michael Vick and dogs, Michael Jackson and little boys, and Whitney Houston with drugs. It is what it is.... it doesn't mattered that this happened 3 years ago and you and Rihanna are over it. The public is never gonna be over it, so get that through your skull. You need to find a better way to deal with this other throwing chairs at GMA and stealing phones on South Beach. These anger management classes are clearly not working at all. People are gonna to ALWAYS ask you about this, you like the new Ike Turner. This man has been died how many years now and people still call him a wife beater. Welp sir this is you now, so build a bridge and get over it. Stop going on twitter and beefing with wrestlers and whoever the hell else, stop saying you don't give a fuck about what people have to say. Because clearly some fucks are given because you're always on twitter going off. In fact just say no to twitter in 2012, hell how about forever at this point. I will say this, doing these songs with Rihanna has helped you more than her its hepled her. Somw people may come to the realization that if she's over it, than maybe they should be too. So Chris please keep it cool, keep making these R&B/ electronic music songs, dancing like there's no tomorrow and blood is on the dance floor. 

To Chris Brown's girlfriend Kreampie, Kanker sore, Kalabash, whatever that child's name is. Girl look I'm not sure what kind of relationship you and Chris have but it seems to me its an open one. If don't know, well now you know because these lyrics in Birthday Cake, clearly indicate some kind of sexual transaction is going on between the two of them. Let's look at some of the lyrics. Your boyfriend says to his ex in a song this. 

Girl I wanna fuck you right now
It’s been a long time and I’ve been missing your body
Let me, let me turn the lights down
When I, when I, go down it’s a private party


Ummm yeah okay..... if you don't think something is going on between these two, then my dear I'm not sure what to say about that. I just hope you have a plan or something because I would hate to see you  dating Omarion or Lloyd next year because that would be just awful and a straight up now tell me downgrade. Ask Amber rose about that life you don't want any part of that life. Just be careful and watch your back girl because Rihanna wants your boyfriend's CAKE, CAKE, CAKE.

I Am Not My Hair: Part 2

So it's been a month (well a little over a month) since I shaved my head. It's grown out a little bit but more importantly my edges have grown too. I was really concerned about the follicles around my edges being permanently damaged by the dreadful relaxer I got; praise the Lord (or whom ever you may pray to) that is not the case I really thought my edges were gone like Phaedra from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Yeah get into that shit....... no edges at all!!! SMH.




 
Anyway, I had a slight problem with dryness and I might still have this problem. I saw that my hair was shedding a little, so after talking to a couple of friends and looking on youtube. I realized 1) needed to stop washing my hair everyday. Shampoo especially the ones with sulfates have a tendency to dry out your hair. So now I co-wash it with conditioner and wash it with shampoo once a week now. The second thing I learned was to moisturize my hair a lot and that all the products I used while my hair was relaxed are useless; I gave them all away. I now I have some new products that I'm using, I'll probably do a review about them but I've only been using them for about a week, therefore I can't give them a full review yet. So yeah I learned and I'm still learning that moisture is the key. So here's a pic of my progress, if anyone has any tips plese do share.

No Happy Valentine's Day


                                                                            

                                 



Hate Valentine’s Day!!

Fuck Love!!

I wish it was just the 15th already!!!!

These are things I hear and you’ve probably have heard by bitter, lonely, and single people all over the world. When I hear ish like this I’m left to wonder….. who in the hell hurt you??? Like for real is it even that damn serious that these statement even come out of your mouth? I guess for some folks it really is that serious. Look I haven’t had a really valentine since I was like in 9thgrade but do you see me rolling my eyes because my coworker got flowers delivered to her or wanting to jump in Lake Michigan on a cold ass February day. Ummmm NO. Why? Because I don’t hate Valentine’s Day even though I don’t have a valentine. To be fair I am kinda obsessed with holidays in general, kinda in a Joan Clayton from Girlfriends way. But that’s not the point; the point is that it’s a day that love is to be celebrated. So how in the world can you be mad at that, even if you don’t have a significant other in your life per say Valentine’s Day is still about Love.

I mean I know it’s more for a romantic type of love but still it’s about love. Love is love no matter where it comes from, so if the romantic love isn’t in your life at this point in time. Focus on the love from your family or from your friends. Don’t be like the Grinch that stole Valentine’s Day because it really isn’t that serious. Its flowers, candy, dinner, and sex for most couples; all things you can buy or do by yourself without the help of someone else. So don’t be a bitter Betty or Ben its one day I promise you will survive and if you don’t think you can handle all the happy couples that day. Then please stay your ass at home and get I flunked out of college freshman year drunk.

Whitney Houston

                           



As y'all know Whitney Houston passed away yesterday. I really don't have much to say about her death, expect that I feel like one of my Aunts has passed on. I was really devastate by this news. She was/is an musical icon, her music transcended generations..... like I have no words to expressed my shock and sadness about this.As a 80's baby her music has a special place in my heart. I remember her record pictured above was one of the 1st albums I ever had. I would come home from school and play I wanna dance with somebody everyday. I think my parents hid the album from me a couple of times because they were tried of hearing it My heart goes out her family, especially Bobbi Kristina. Whitney we love you and you'll truly be missed. We'll always love you.

Give It Up Turn It Loose


See the thing is that some folks just don’t know their roles in people’s lives. What exactly do I mean by this?  Well a lot of the time people really think that they mean much more to you than they really do. This is not to say that they themselves are about as useful as a used tampon to your life, it just means that they aren’t exactly in your top 5. It’s like when they’re not around it’s not like you’re going around singing Tamia’s Officially missing you. When you see or talk to them it’s cool and when you don’t its cool too. They bring no tangible assets to your life and maybe they did at one point in time but they definitely do not now. The dynamics in the friendship or relationship has change. Hell there may not have ever been any real dynamics so to speak of in the first place.

But to them y’all are like a child and their My Little Buddy doll. Like y’all are Jay-z and Damon Dash circa 2001 in their mind but in reality you guys are like Jay-Z and Damon Dash present day and that My Little Buddy doll has transformed into Chucky. The relationship/friendship fails to exist anymore or has turned into complete and utter shit. Y’all don’t talk on regular basis, y'all pretty much have no idea what’s going on in each other lives, unless it scrolls across your news feed on Facebook. But yet this person ever so often tries to interject themselves into your life. It’s weird and confusing…. doesn’t this person realize y’all ain't that cool.  They’re the kind of person that hears you’re going on a trip with your besties and they tries to invite themselves or get pissed off  that you didn’t invite them. Chile….. we ain't friends that’s why you ain’t going with me to Vegas. Facts are facts and the facts for the most part y’all aren’t FRIENDS!!! You guys are more like strangers pasting each other in the night. For some people that’s a hard pill to swallow, especially if y’all were once tight at some point in life. But people change and things don’t always remain the same. If two people have grown apart that just the facts of life, folks are always so quick to kick a romantic relationship that has grown staler than last year’s bread to the curb. But can’t seem to do the same when it comes to friendships that have degenerated in the same pattern.     

Well I’m here to say it’s okay not to be bff’s with someone anymore because the friendship has changed or is damn near non-existence. There’s no need to be frying today’s fish in last year’s rancid ass fish grease. Let that shit go!!! You don’t have to feel obliged to this person because y’all were friends forever in High School. Well high school is over and idk about everyone else but I’m not the exactly the same person I was in 12thgrade and that’s not a bad thing. Its growth that’s what is and some people grow with you and some people grow apart from you and that’s OK. It doesn’t make you a bad person because you don’t wanna hang out friends from your past. You can wish them the best in life but you don’t necessarily need to be a part of their life. Now to the friend from way back then that doesn’t get this and feels the need to try to bulldoze their way into people’s lives. Stop this behavior immediately!!! You can make some want to be your friend, even if that person was once your very good friend. Stop trying to guilt trip that person because you didn’t get an evite to their B-day dinner. Take the hints and the clues they’re giving you…. You guys aren’t no longer on the TOP 5 level. All the texting and phone call in the world isn’t gonna change that. That person no longer views you as a valid person in their lives, for whatever reason. The reason maybe be as dumb as you ate the last chicken wing at Applebee’s 7 years ago or it could be major like you slept with her boyfriend. Whatever the reason is all the harassing (yes, I said harassing because at some point if a person isn’t responding to your calls, texts, e-mails, etc. it becomes harassment) isn't gonna make them want to be friends again. Sometimes as Usher said you’ve gotta let shit burn and that includes friendships.  This ain't gonna ever be y'all.







They’re some people in your life that even though you may not talk or see to them every day or even every month but they’re still your friend and y’all catch up and its like nothing ever changed. You pick up where you left off; the friendship connection is still intact. Then you have the other people that I just talked above. The connection is dead and gone and you could talk to them every day to the day you die but that connection is just gone and never coming back like Jodeci. Life isn’t an express train downtown; it’s a long Greyhound bus ride across the country.  They are many stops; people get on and off the bus. Some people get on and only get stay to the next stop, some get on and stay for several stops, and some get on and stay for the whole bus ride. So you have to realize and recognize which people are getting on your bus and when to tell them the next stop is theirs because they may not know and you’ll wind up with an overcrowded bus and no place for important people to sit.

Pick Up The Phone


I have several pet peeves but today I want to talk about the one that truly makes me annoyed. Which is people who you haven’t heard from in a while that act like one the phone doesn’t work two ways and secondly they just don’t know how to say Hello in a proper manner after a significant amount of time has gone by since y'all last talked. To my first point the phone really does work two ways. If you want to talk to me just call me… I call the people I want to talk to all the time. If it wasn’t for unlimited minutes AT&T would be raping my bank account on a monthly basis. If I wanted to talk too certain people in my address book guess what? I would just simply call them but I don’t and there’s a reason for that. Either 1) I really don’t wanna talk to your ass 2) I’m too busy to talk your ass 3) I want to talk to your ass but maybe I feel like you don’t want to talk to my ass, so I avoid calling you. Its real simple folks it’s not AP calculus. I’m not calling you for one of those reasons and you my friend usually know which of those reasons as to why my name isn't showing up on your caller ID. If the reasons are unclear pick up the phone and ask me. People usually call other people for one or two reasons to pass along information (either giving or receiving it) or because that person crossed your mind and you want to see how they are doing. So if I’m or someone else isn’t calling you it’s because they don’t have any information for you and they don’t want whatever information you may have for them; or they all together are not really thinking about you enough to actually call you to see how you’re doing.    

Now to the people that actually do reach out and touch someone’s hand but do it in an ass backwards and shady ass way. Please go kick some rocks with no shoes on. What am I talking about exactly? Well these are the people that call/text/tweet/fax/smoke signals whatever form of communication they choose to use and say shit like this: “Hey long time no hear, I was about to chuck the deuces to you and our whole friendship…lol. Hey has anyone ever said you remind them of Olivia from Love and Hip and Hop (or you can insert whatever person you find to be highly annoying)”?  Now you probably haven’t spoken to this person in months and not only have they 1) annoyed the fuck out of you 2) shaded the hell out of you but they have 3) reminded you as to why y’all don’t talk anymore. This above situation has happened to me before and I always wonder what the fuck is wrong with this asshole? Then I say this is way I don’t talk to their ass. Who tells someone I’m chucking the deuces to our friendship? I tell you who does that..... people with too much time on their hands. Bitch please I been did that but I have more decorum than to tell people that; I just fade to black it's easier that way. Just because you added a LOL doesn’t mean you’re joking because we all know LOL these days just means ok or you say it when you don’t know what else to say. Now the second part of the message is what really gets me hot. What the hell do you mean I remind of this asinine character on TV? Like really what do you mean by that? Is it the way I look, act, talk, like what is it? What I’ve come to realize is that these people are doing this to get a reaction out you. See, a reaction whether its positive or negative is better than no reaction to them. No reaction indicates that you really don't give damn about their thoughts or their feelings. They throw shade just to engage you into conversation….. They think either you’re going to ignore it or just laugh it off. Well not this girl, if you throw shade at me, I’m throwing the whole window treatment back at you. Then I’m going to read you like a 2nd grader reading Bernstein Bears books for Book-It Certificates. Don’t think saying little slick shit is the way to go about re-kindling friendships because it’s not. Especially if there’s long gaps of us not being in contact with one another because in all honestly it’s like you knew me abck then but you don’t know me now so chill.

Honorable mention goes to the “Hey stranger!!!” text now this right annoys me to no end. Do people even know the definition of stranger? If you don’t than here it is. 

Stranger (noun) 1) a person with whom one has had no personal acquaintance. 2) a newcomer in a place or locality. 3) a person who is unacquainted with or unaccustomed to something. So you get the point…. Therefore if you have my number and you’re calling me. I'm clearly not a stranger!!! So don’t come at me with that stranger bs, it’s annoying and stupid. It’s just as easy to say Hey, what’s up? But instead of taking the simple route folks stay wanting to be smartasses and jackasses….smh. Well I'm here to tell you this type of behavior isn't cool and it's definitely not cute. So stop with all this passive-aggressive behavior and just say how you really feel, damnit just say Hello it goes a lot further.
