Solange

Now I usually don’t do this, but I would like to take a moment to talk about Solange Knowles. I’m loving her!!! I don’t know when or exactly how this came about but damnit Beyoncé’s younger sister is giving me life. I love her hair and its fabulous whether she’s wearing her actual hair, wigs, or box braids. I also love the fact that she told some magazine… Essence maybe that she was not the poster child for natural hair, that she was her own person. Here's the link Solange talks about natural hair, although she got some backlash from the natural girls around the world. She still gave no fucks and said she meant what she said but she could have chosen a better why of saying it. Her fashion sense is a little off to some but I love it. It's got to be hard to be the biggest pop star of our generations sister and find your own way. Solange has manage to do just that, she may not have been apart of Destiny's Child but she's found a way to step into her own Destiny.

 

Now I may not have always been here for or a fan her music when she first came out and was playing around in Lil' Bow Bow's videos. I was like girl..... we already have 3LW and now you want to be the solo version.  Please try again Miss because I''m not feeling it.

 

Well she did exactly that and dropped this little gem. I absolutely loved this album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. I felt like she had finally come into her own or she stopped trying to be what others thought she should, Beyonce the lite verison. Maybe after going through a divorce and having a kid she had something to talk about, whatever the case she found her groove. Recently she put out an EP True, and its amazing I love it!!! I knew I would when I heard the first single off of it Losing You. 

How can you not love this??? But even more recently she covered one of my favorite songs Make it Hot by Nicole Wray.... they need to do an episode of Finding our Missing on her, because honey has been ghost since 2001 at least. Anyway Solange covers the song and I love it. Solange covers Make it Hot . Is Solange ever going to be as big of a star as her big sister? No but do I think Solange cares about that? Absolutely not. She marches to the beat of her own drum and if you don't like the rhythm, I'm sure she would tell those people.... sit your ass down and don't dance then.

Why I Don't Go Through Phones

If there's one thing I refuse to do anymore in a relationship it is going through my boyfriend's phone, facebook, twitter, linkedin, AOL, blackplanet, or whatever the hell else. I implore you good people don't do it either, there's no happiness for you there. If you don't want drama then leave his/her phone alone. Here's why..... I once upon a time while involved with a guy looked through his phone without his knowledge. Although it didn't lead to 808's and Heartbreaks immediately, it was the beginning of the end for us. What I exactly found in his phone wasn't grounds for immediate dismal, like he was wasn't sending dic pics to the local tramp or anything but he was in contact with other girls and there was some slight flirting involved. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper after finding the info. I had to put he's phone back on the coffee table when he came back from outside and had to sit there watching House. Like I didn't just read on his phone him text some trick "How things going at work, sweetie?".

What really pissed me off about the whole situation was that, I couldn't give him the Prince side-eye and bust his shit wide open about texting bitches and calling them sweetie. Why? Because I was wrong for going through his phone, so therefore saying anything to him about it would've been an admission of guilt and I wasn't going to add insult to inquiry. So there I was stuck.... I had to play it cool. When all I wanted to do was slap him in the back of his head and throw his phone out the window, I was mad as hell!!! There he was on the sofa cooler than a polar bear's toenail and me madder than a son of a bitch. After about an hour or so, I realized the only person I should have been mad at was my dumbass. I was the one sitting on the sofa mad as fuck and he's over there with not one fuck given. I couldn't react because if I did what whatever piece of a relationship we had at that point would've just vanished.

If I said anything he would've gotten mad, we would've had an argument and then I would forever and always in his mind would've been that sneaky, untrustworthy, paranoid, and 1-3 steps away from being  Glen Close ass in Fatal Attraction. So that night I decided to never to that shit again to myself. Like I was having a shit fit in my mind but on the outside I had to act like Mary Poppins or something. Telling myself just a spoonful of sugar will make the lies down. 

For the next few days every time that boy said he was going out, there I was sitting around smoking cigarettes at night (I honestly think I played that song on repeat for a week after going through his phone... smh at myself). I was driving myself crazy, thinking was he really at his boy's house or is he with that bitch? Did he ask her how her day was today? All kinds of questions ran through my head. Questions that never would've been there if I had never looked through that dude's phone, a week before that I was walking around singing "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood". A week later I'm on some Kelis "I hate you so much, right now" shit but I did it to myself. If you go looking for trouble, don't get mad when you find it. So after that I decide to keep my sanity, and not take up a part-time job of being Nancy Drew. I just couldn't do that to myself if it gets to this point.....

      

Ummmm then yeah it maybe time to give it up and turn it loose. I mean you know when shit isn't kosher in your relationship, going through the trouble of becoming the newest member of the Hardy Boys isn't going to ease your mind, when you find whatever it is your looking for. If anything the info you're looking for is going to send you over the Edge of Glory, so unless you're ready to let the relationship go to the landfill or have the "talk" about what's really Eating Gilbert's Grape in your relationship. Leave his/her phone alone. 

Got 2B Real: The Latest



I know I've talked about this web parody before on the blog......but damnit these videos are hilarious. I promise it’s funnier than ANYTHING you're currently watching on television, unless you're watching old episodes of Martin from Season 1-4, that last season without Gina was just weird. I watched this morning before work and I cried real tears laughing at this. Between Fantasia making up her own words like "rudity" and Beyonce telling her "Fantasia I could give you two magnets and you STILL couldn't make ends meet!" Jesus..... I was dying laughing at this. The video above is the latest episode of Got 2B Real, and the shade that's being thrown in it!!!! Rihanna's umbrella from 2007 couldn't even help.

You Can Blame It On Me

I wasn’t expecting him to get down on bended knee a la Boyz II Men or anything but I was expecting him to acknowledge he was being a totally asshole. Just saying something like “my bad” would’ve been enough but no even that was too much for him. Instead of he tried to sweep it under the rug by saying giving me some flimsy excuse and I’m quoting “ I don't like that whole acting like someone you’re not, people should just be easy.” WHAT THE FUCK?? First let’s address the be easy aspect of this statement. What does that even mean? When T.I. said Be Easy off his classic Trap Muzik album, I took Be Easy to mean you better chill the fuck out before someone tries to knock your head off. So what is this dude talking about people should be easy?? I’m confused….. what people should Be Easy? Me? I was being easy because I seriously could have pulled a Beyonce and ringed the alarm or gone terror threat level red on his ass. Instead I was easy like a Sunday morning. The only person that should have been easy that night was his ass.

The part of the above statement that really took me for a loop was the acting like someone you’re not apart. So, by him being a totally dick and a sloppy ass drunk that was the real him, right? If that’s the case honyechile he can keep the real him to his damn self. There’s no way you can take last Friday’s night’s events and he doesn’t come off as being a totally ass. So by him saying people shouldn’t act like something they aren’t, he’s saying his behavior wasn’t a one time thing or totally out of character for him. He’s a jackass and he makes no apologies for it.  Which is fine for him I guess but on that particular night I didn’t go to that bar for all that. I wasn’t expecting him to have the manners of Prince William but I didn’t think untrained dogs would be better behaved than him. For this grown ass man to sit up there and act like a buffoon and then turn around and say “hey, I was just being the real me”. Well, sir I see no problem with me tossing your ass like a banana peel into the trash because honestly at this point that’s how I view him like trash, the day after Christmas trash at that.

So what happens to trash? Well shit it gets trashed and thrown away to a place far away. That’s exactly where I have banished him to a place far away. This guy thinks because he brought me a drink and told me he likes me he gets a steady place on my roaster of men. Well, sir I’m here to tell you that is absolutely not the case. Please get the fuck out of here with that. Especially since you showed your ass first and now that I’m not returning calls and text messages, I’m the asshole. To that I say GOOD DAY and GOOD NIGHT. In my *Cher from Clueless voice* AS IF, I just want him to snatch his life back from wherever the fuck he left it. The dude told me, people should be who they really are from the beginning right? Well damnit I didn’t like that person so decided to abort mission but I’m the asshole. Okay well you can blame it on me if that makes you feel better. At the end of the day he’s still an asshole and I’m over dating assholes. So I guess that’s that folks.

Got 2B Real

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this web series on YouTube called Got 2B Real. If you haven't prepare yourself to be amused. I don't remember exactly how I came across this web series, I think someone retweeted the creator's(  @PattiLaHelle) tweets on my timeline. I do know this though, I'm grateful as hell I found it because my dear it's funnier than anything I've seen on TV is a long time.

The show is a like a Diva Parody show with Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Donnie Warwick, Rhianna, Mary J. Blige, and whole bunch of other folks. The show is completely fictitious but completely hilarious. I when I tell you I laughed so hard that I was crying I'm NOT exaggerating. This is the second season of the show and it's already three episodes deep. So I'm postiong the episodes from this season, but I suggest looking at the season one first. But yes please get your life to this!!!!!

No New Year's Resolutions

This is going to be my last post of the year, I want to thank each and every one of you that have taken the time to read this blog. This year has been a lot of different things some good things and some bad ones. This blog has been one of the good ones and I hope that 2012 brings bigger and better things to this blog and to everyone who reads this blog. So have a safe and Happy New Year and see ya in 2012. 

Well it’s that time of year where people start to reflect back on the past year. The things they did, the things they didn’t do. The relationships they gained and the ones they lost and just about everything else between. People start to plan for the upcoming year. Some of these changes maybe minor some maybe major and New Year’s resolutions are being made.

So what’s my New Year’s resolution, well simple to live my life like Beyonce’s Party video, to just do better than before that’s it. It sounds simple but when it’s put into practice, shit can get complicated. I know all things I should be doing and the things I shouldn’t be doing too. For example losing weight is a part of a lot of people’s resolutions, I know what I need to do to accomplish that goal, and I do it at a mild pace. I exercise but I still eat like it's freshman year in college half of the time. Guess what? I’m not going to lose any weight by doing this; all I’m doing is maintaining my weight. I don’t gain any but I don’t lose any either hence I need to do better. The same thing just with other aspects of my life such professionally I KNOW I need to go back to school, but just thinking to the application process makes my head hurt. Welp, I just need to suck it up take an aspirin or something and just do it like Nike.

When comes to dating I can do better in that department too. Look I know myself and I know I’m quick to dismiss a guy for any little infraction. So maybe just maybe I could ease up a bit. I could stop acting like I’m going on a trip to the dentist when I go out with guys and put forward more of an effort. If I put the same effort I do in my friends half of the other things I enjoy into dating…… I’ll probably be married by now if I wanted to be. So generally I should probably do better when it comes to dating. I just need to do better in life in general. So this year I’m making no resolutions because I feel like an idiot by March because I didn't stick with them.  I’m just going do things better than what I have been doing them.   

Is He Serious?

Who's ever encountered a man and within 48 hours of knowing him, he's asking you to do or just about some dumb sh!t? For example after your 1st date. You text him to tell him you had a good time but instead of replicating that sentiment he hits with this bullsh!t, " Hey can you sent me a naked pic"? WTF??? So you re-read the text because you can't believe this fool asked you some sh!t like this but there it is in black and white. How do you go from hey I had a nice time with you; to send me a naked pic, did you miss the memo? Is this what's really up in the world now? Dudes using groupon on dates and then in turn asking for naked pics to add to their own personal soft porn collections. There are so many questions to be asked but the big one that comes to mind is, what the hell do I look like sending this guy a naked pic? A hoe and not just a hoe but a $2 hoe at. Why would he think its okay to ask some foolishness like that? What happened in your Katherine Heigl/normal ass date, that would prompt a man to ask you for a naked pic. SMDH..... well dudes who do things like this have some balls on them and what they are doing is letting those balls hang.

The younger me would've have went all the way off on some man if he asked me some sh!t like this. The older me wouldn't and doesn't do such things any more. All I would do now is simply say "NO or "Yes I do have naked pics but I'm don't sending them to you". Then again since he didn't precisely identify have kind of naked pic, I would send him a pic of a penis. It would all depend on my mood, but I what I won't do is cuss him out. First of all he's probably not worth me cussing out in the first place and secondly I know why he's asking me that question. It's not because he thinks you're a hoe, its because he's trying you. Just like the Grammys tried the entire f*ck out of Beyonce by not nominating her for any real awards this year. I'm still listening to her 4  album and the Grammys are nominating Kelly Price for R&B song of the year.....  WTF yeah, okay its whatever. Sorry I went on a little rant.

Well that's basically what this idiot is doing trying the f*ck out of you to see what kind of response he'll get. Also he's asking you this because believe it or not, its worked before. Yup, he or someone he knows asked some ratchet ass girl this same very question and she sent a pic of her damn near busting it wide open. Dudes who do this are either dumb as f*ck or wildly brilliant, I haven't decide which one yet. See asking question like this is an easy way for them to weed out women. Its a way for them to see who's DTF (down to f*ck) and those who aren't DTF. Its a way to tell the jumpoffs from the girls with potential to be girlfriends. So in a way its kind of brilliant on their part, since all men are trying to f*ck anyway, all this is doing is speeding up the process. If a girls sends a pic back she's DTF like right now and if she doesn't she isn't DTF, well at least not at that moment. Also when a girl tells him no, he can say some sh!t like, " I was just playing" or " It was just a joke". Yeah right... but that's his way of trying to save face. So now that you have that information maybe the guy isn't an asshole or a perv and you shouldn't be to rash in your decision to kick him to the curb. Maybe he's just a guy and that's what guys do, try to find DTF girls in the most efficient way possible. It might make him a little childish but not necessarily a douchbag. What do you guys think?
