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!!!!!

The Rihanna Navy

I really like Rihanna, I may not be a 100% stan for her like I may with Beyonce or Mary J. Blige but I really f*cks with her. So let’s just get this out of the way. Is she the best vocalist? NO. Is she going to show you how to ride it like Ciara? Hell No!! But she still gives me life. First of all this girl’s work ethic is crazy. She’s about release her 3^rd album in three years, yeah that’s right three album in three years. Tell somebody else who’s done that? People are still waiting on Dr. Dre’s Detox to drop, which will probably be on the 32^nd of December. While recording these albums she’s been on tour too, and these albums have been successful to. She broke some kind of record in the UK this year for having however many number one singles in however many years, nobody’s done that since Madonna. So for her not to be able to sing or dance, the b!tch stays making hits. So yeah get into that, unlike some other artists (Keri Hilson and Ciara I’m talking to you).

So what is it about Rihanna that keeps her relevant and her making one hit after another? Well, I think people really started to pay attention to her when Umbrella came out and she cut her hair into that asymmetrical bob and stop trying to look like a Beyonce throw away. Okay then she cut her hair again and became a fashion symbol, I say symbol because I don’t think the word icon fits her yet. People use the words legend and icon too loosely. I love the way Rihanna dresses I’m always looking to see what she has on in magazines and blogs. I think she’s one of the best dressed people on the scene today but would I say she’s a fashion icon? No, those spaces are reserved for people like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Bianca Jagger. Only time will tell if she reaches that status. Anyway she’s got her fashion game on point, people started to pay even more attention. Then the infamous car incident with her and Chris Brown happen, which I’m not going to talk about but then she got even more attention but she kept it moving and put out more music and she’s now the artist she is now and I love her.

I like her because I think how she’s portrayed out in public is who she really is for the most part in private. She just seems like she’s a girl that likes to have fun and doesn’t have a problem putting hoes in their place when it needs to happen. If I could hang out with any female celebrity for one night it would be her, because I’ll probably have the time of my life. As much as I love Beyonce I think it would be boring as hell if I were to hang out with her. We’ll probably just get most Popeye’s chicken and grade soda, watch old Destiny’s child videos, and I’ll listen to her talk about how Jay-z made her put her love on top. Girl bye, that doesn’t sound like a good time. Rihanna on the other hand, it would be like a scene from Katy’s Perry’s Last Friday video, with a mix of Beyonce’s Party Video. We would just party like it was 1999. Now that’s a girl I could roll with. I’ve also become a Rihanna stan because of the fact that she constantly shades people, especially on twitter. She just doesn’t seem to give a f*ck. Like if you come at her sideways she will come for you too. I’m sure we all heard about the Rhianna and Ciara twitter fiasco earlier this year, well here’s the link if you didn’t Rihanna and Ciara twitter beef .

 Rihanna came for Ciara’s ass and in my opinion Ciara deserved it…. How you gonna go on Fashion Police talking about Rihanna wasn’t nice to you at a Grammy party because she didn’t speak to you. First of all that wasn’t the question, they were asking about her dress, not if she spoke to you. Secondly, heffa who the hell are you that people have to get up and speak to you, the Queen of England? GTFOH… but when Rihanna said “Good Luck booking that stage you speak of”. I laughed for at least five minutes off that, because we all know Ciara has no recording contract as to date. Oh the shade. Then there’s the infamous “B!tch because I’m black “ tweet earlier this year too. Here’s the link to that 'Cuz I'm black b!tch. How many other celebrities would have said some ish like that other than Khia and Gangsta Boo? Not many and that’s way I love her now. She just wants to have fun, drink her Jameson and ginger ale, and keep it cute Caribbean mess. That’s why I like her; I have apparently been drafted into the Rihanna navy…. Lord help us all.  

I'm Just So Unmoved

I think I have a problem when it comes to dating, this problem I speak of I'm  kind of just starting to realize its a problem or I've just admitted to myself that maybe a problem.  I realized this when I saw Rhianna's latest video, in the video she was totally into this guy. The highs (although some of the highs seemed to be chemically induced) and the incredible lows of love were all on display, they were in the moment and felt all of those moments.  She's ALL THE  WAY INVESTED in the relationship.

 Well that ain't me and has been me in a long time, my experience is more like this video. Daria....., sigh this is my dating life. Going through life and various experiences and just being generally unmoved by the whole thing. Look this b!tch is reading the newspaper at a basketball game, she refuses to get involved at all and that's how I feel 98% of the time when it comes to dating. I just don't emotionally invest in dating and dealing with dudes, I'm romantically tapped out. Do I get emotional (no Carl Thomas)? Yes, I get upset and pissed off all the damn time. I'm invested in the things I care about like my family, friends and my career. But when it comes to dating I'm chilling like Daria. I'm more likely to get upset that Glee didn't come on because of the World Series or they effed up my coffee order at Starbucks, than if some guy didn't call back like he said he would. Look at Rhianna in the video she's in the middle of nowhere in a mud-pit with her boyfriend. I rather not, well at least not with any man I've dated or I'm currently dating. I'm there if that's where my friends are, otherwise you're going to have to count me out. Anyhoo, even when I'm talking to a guy or on a date with one, I'm thinking about other things. Like I'm wondering if the new issue of Harper Bazaar came in the mail or why Jennifer Lopez thinks we believe she's driving around in the Bronx in a Fiat... girl bye. Okay, I'm digressing again. I shouldn't be thinking about those things, should be trying to get to know this person, right? But at last that doesn't happen. Lately I can't muster up the energy to actively participate in dating and it most definitely takes two people to date, I'm just out there half assing it. I'm doing things like meeting guys, grabbing their attention (which I actually enjoy) and then once they want my number or to go out I turn into Daria. Once they want more from me than what's number and my sign, I'm like no thanks. I'm out here catching and releasing dudes.  I feel like dating just takes too much energy and I'm so about the 20% energy iPhone life right now. I just can't seem to put forth that much effort right now. I rather have a smooth seat somewhere, watch Head of the Class and go drinking with my friends. Than to sit in some restaurant and listen to some man talking about why The Blueprint was Jay-z's best album or whatever the f*ck. I don't feel like telling some man about why I didn't go to a HBCU or the story of my life, in short I guess I don't feel like dating. Well, I at least don't feel like doing the initial stages of dating and you have to go through that part to get to the relationship part.


 I'm not exactly sure what my problem is or if this is even a problem (it probably is). I'm not sure when this happened or how to change this behavior. Maybe I've met one too many bamas and they've left me disenchanted and jaded. Then again maybe I've allowed myself to feel this way. I keep thinking that a Michael Ealy look-alike is going to show up and shake me to my core. I know that's pretty much never gonna happen because that's not real life, but a girl can dream, right? Maybe this is a phase or maybe it isn't. All I know is that I just can't participate in all the fuckery that goes on in dating right now. I'm a firm believer in showing up and showing out and putting your best foot forth, but nowadays I'm showing up unprepared and just not giving a f*ck. Oh, so and so didn't call back or his trippin'. It's cool I'm going to eat wings and drink bud lights with my friends and have fun. That's where my head is at and that just isn't my style when I'm in regular mode. The last couple of guys I've dealt with said they couldn't get a good read on me, that I was very nonchalant and unbothered about our situation. They were exactly right, I couldn't put it better than that. That's how I felt about them and about dating in general. So I think I'm just cool out on the sidelines and drink a Hi-C juice box and let y'all have at this game of dating for awhile because I'm being very much like Lebron in the 4th quarter....  just non-existent.
