Real Talk!

I'm surprised at how accurate this is.

Does this make me bourgeoisie (that is SO like the hardest word to spell)?

Worth Watching!

BET's "Bid 'Em In." When I first saw this I was flabbergasted, I didn't know what to do with myself...

"What? BET is showing something positive?! WHOA! It MUST be the end times..."

But seriously, this is a very powerful commentary on the slave trade. What made me even more excited was that I saw it during the afternoon so there is a chance that some of these young kids saw it too. It's dope... tragic, but dope...

And speaking of tragic...



One of my favorite pubescent groups of all times DRU HILL made an appearance on this radio talk show and acted a doggone fool. Word on the curb is that everything was staged but ultimately this just might be a pathetic attempt to assimilate back into the music industry. In the words of another one of my favorite rappers: I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE... I still got love for y'all though.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Like anyone cares! But anyhoo, these are things that I have pretty much changed my life in some way, shape or form.




Texas Football. Every time I hear the Texas fight song... I cry a little bit.




My razr. I've had it for about two years and it's pretty durable, considering that it's been without a battery door the whole time.

L'Oreal High Intensity Pigments! Finally... makeup products that don't seep into my skin and become invisible within an hour's time. I'm a total junkie -- I own H.I.P.'s foundation, eyeshadows, eyeliner and lip gloss and I love them all.

Garnier-- boy I was SHOCKED to discover that Garnier works a lot better on my natural hair than all of these other ethnic products (as they're called in CVS). Especially their soft curl cream... man that stuff is crack for the scalp!

Dial soap... keeping you germ free since 1948!

The Bible Experience. I love to listen to this right before bed... but they know they were wrong for casting Blaire Underwood to be the voice of Jesus. They should not have that fine specimen planting seeds of lust in the hearts of vulnerable women when they should be focused on the Word of God... now I'm not saying that I'm one of those women... but if I were, I'm just sayin' though... STOP JUDGING ME!

Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. MAN this is stuff is expensive but it'll be worth it when I want to get my graphic design on. Since I'm a broke college student, I'm on a savings plan so that I can own it someday.

My Ipod Nano. In the words of one of my favorite rappers, "Wherever I go, it goes." Seriously, I'll remember my Ipod over my keys and wallet. I now know that I have to get my life together because I don't know how proud I am of that. BUT it was worth the investment.

More later... PEACE

Yezzir

I love The Roots, especially ?uestlove. Dude is a BEAST on the drums, mayne... I'm trying to get on his level HAHA! Anyhoo, while making my rounds on Okayplayer, I discovered ?uest's take on a song by another group I absolutely adore, Gnarls Barkley.



Simple, yet raw. I love it when one of my fave artists syncs to the music of my other fave artists. Speaking of rawness...



75 BARS!!! DOPE!! But dag, Riq G's... did you really have to pour gas in his mouth like that, though?

And... I'm still flyer than the rest of 'em...



Whoo... PEACE

Man, I Should Never Have Another Off Day... Like... Ever

Man. This senioritis business ain't no joke... today was my first off day in a while where I had no imposed obligations to school, work or meetings and I took ADVANTAGE of it. I had plans though mayne... a to-do list and everything... it went something like this:

STUFF I HAVE TO DO TODAY, MARCH 2, 2008:

1) Go to Church

2) Catch up on readings for class

3) Attempt to finish at least one of the journals due Thursday

Instead... it went down a little something like this:

STUFF I ACCOMPLISHED TODAY, MARCH 2, 2008:

1) Woke up at 1:30 P.M. and missed Church

2) Reminisced over birthday cards my dad sent me when I was 15

3) Went to HEB with my mama

4) Killed time on Youtube and Blogger

5) Wondered when all this bull[sic]ing is going to bite me in the butt

But it wasn't a total waste... today I began considering adopting my father's last name. My parents were married when I was born but after they divorced I was given the opportunity of taking my mother's maiden name and I did so (I was 8). After my dad passed in '03 I felt like I lost an important connection forever and this might be my way to re-establish it to some extent. I have his sister's (my aunt) address and I've been considering contacting her to gain insight on who my father really was... another reason to stop bullin' I guess...

Man I need to go read a book or somethin'. I feel so triflin'.

Oh and this is a pretty dope vid... Zoe Kravitz is a dope heroin addict and the cinematography is great. "How could you deny me so vehemently?" He betta use a triple score word. Go Jigga.

Until next time... PEACE
