From G's To Gents

Yeah, this was just a show on MTV... but it was a good show. Well at least the last 4 episodes were. I mean seriously. I think it showed some serious issues that happen within the black community (yeah I know there were others on the show, but thats not what im talking about).

Especially Creepa. OK I'm not trying to have a defamation suit on my hands or anything of the like...but it was obvious to be that Creepa's mom had some "issues". Imm say issues, but we all know what was good with her. Anyway, so dudes dad was killed when he was young, so Creepa had to be the "man of the house". Now this happens in a lot of single mother/lower income households. The eldest boy is expected to take the roll of the father and fulfil everything that the father is supposed to do. The mom tells the boy, you need to step up and do what you need to do to take care of your family....

So OK, you have like a 12 year old boy, that doesnt even have an 8th grade education yet. What can he possibly do to take care of his family...run the streets. The mom doesnt care that her son is out there with the filth and grime of life... she is concerned that she gets money to "feed the family". It's just sooooo sad. Dude was in HVAC school and he had to cash in his financial aid because he was supporing 8 people yo! Come on now.

I wonder how much of that 100,000 he gave to his mom?

Kinky Curly Curling Custard

Yeah, I've heard really good reviews of this product...but of course...it did not work for me the way it was suppose to.

Now its supposed to make your hair like when it is loaded with conditioner...so didnt happen. Personally I dont think I have a hair type. My hair is not a 4c, but its not a 4b, but then it is not a 4a either. I dont know what the hell it is. When it is wet, my hair shrinks tremendously. Not a small bit of shrinkage, I mean it draws up well over 50 percent...it's below my shoulder when blown out and when wet it is above my chin.... and it is really really curly. AND it doesnt tangle except at the ends, where the bulk of the curl is.

Anyway... so the kinky curly did not work for my hair. Maybe because I didnt use a clarifying shampoo nor did I have the "knot today"...but still. I was hoping for SOMETHING. Basically, it took over 10 hours to dry and it wasnt dry completly and it shrunk worse than when i let it naturally dry...WTF yo? WFT.

At least it moisturized my hair like crazy... maybe I will use it to twist my hair.
Products just dont work for me.

Last Twilight Related Post Until I See The Movie

Sorry, just had to put this out there because I forgot to do it earlier when I finished the book. Is it just me, or did Breaking Dawn kinda read like really good fan fiction? (Note I said, really good. Not just garbage fan fiction). It was kinda all over the place and a little wierd. I dont know. I mean I enjoyed the book...but it seemed out of style of the other three books.

I cant put my finger on it, but it just read....wrong.

Who The Eff Are YOU

Let me know who this Russell Brand is? He looks like a broke down Edward Scissorhands. I'm simply saying.

My Thoughts On TrueBlood

So I was really really anticipating this as everyone knows I love, "The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries". So I went to Blockbuster and they had the first episode available for preview. So of course I get it. So I watched it and I'm happy and very disappointed all at the same time.

It was just too much sex. It really wasn't that much, but it's like... this isn't Anita Blake. There wasn't that much graphicness of the sex in the book... so why did they have to overdo it in the movie? I'm just saying. I know it is HBO and they kinda had to sell the series to more than just vamp readers...but still. I was actually turned off. So I guess that means I will be more happy with Twilight then huh?

I'm just saying, they coulda done the sex scenes with a little more class. Just because it was on HBO doesn't mean I'm tryna see all that.

But overall... I'm pretty happy. They got the plot. SO surprised they made Tara black. Love that! Her and Lafayette were the best part. "I don't give a good got damn". YES!

And we all know Sookie was supposed to be on the chonkay side. Why is she a size 4? Just saying.

Overall, I enjoyed beside the gratuitious sex parts. I will watch next week just to see if they tone it down. If they don't, Imma have to watch the rated version. Two thumbs up though.
