Man v. Wild=Grossness

I had a post a while back where I proclaimed my love for Man v. Wild and all that is Bear Grylls. However, with this new season of Man v. Wild.... my feelings are changing. This show is kinda grossing me out.

In the first episode, Bear is in the desert and he's overheating so he decided to pee on shirt and wear it as a head cooler. Yeah, when this happened, it oddly enough didn't gross me out. However, I was LOST when dude peed in his canteen and drank that ish this season. Yeah I know he didn't want to die of thirst... but dang his pee. And why did they add all kinds of gulping sound effects?

And they've turned him into a raw meat eater too. Before, he used to find food and cook it... now Bear'll just find a rabbit or dear or something, slice him of a piece of meet and just go at it. Blood and ish all over his face.

Just wow.

WTF x978

Someone please tell me why everytime I go out with one of my friends.... let us call her Geanne, something always goes awry? Please let me know? This is going to be short and sweet. Went to a club with my friend and her friends. One of the dudes was mad drunk and wanted to go home. Geanne said she would take him home. On the way home, pass by a whole bunch of volatile Asian men and hear a gun shot. Keep driving... hear a second gun shot. I proceed to get under the dashboard (yeah you read that, I snatched that seatbelt off so fast and was under there in a quickness) Geanne screams "Ew dude threw up". I think she's talking about person that caught that bullet... no no... She's talking about the em-effer who is behind me. Threw up all over himself. I freak out and somehow hit her car shift into neutral and she starts screaming and ish and is yelling and me while....man it was just BAD. So then we get away from the shooting.... but then i hear all this gurgling and dude throws all kinds of up but this time all over hear cloth seats.

Some more happened but it's not important.

What I need to know is what would compel someone to drink so much that they get boo boo faced like that? Come ON!!!!!

The N

Yes yes...it is time that I step up on my soapbox once again and proclaim my love/hate relationship with the TV station known as "Noggin/The N".

A couple of years ago, when this channel first surfaced... I loved it mainly because of "DeGrassi...The Next Generation". Now they network has a myriad of shows about sex, drugs, and all kind of other ish. Yeah, what's the problem you may ask. The problem is that this network's demographics are pre-teens/teenagers with the occasional young adult such as myself. They aim this ish at teenagers which is not OK.

I don't so much have a problem with DeGrassi because honestly, most of the stuff they talk about on there is real and they don't so much focus on sex and drugs and drinking. Yes, they may have the occasional episode, but I believe it's necessary because it is a part of teenaged life. Now this new show called, "The Best Years" is not OK*. It's about this group of college students which reminds me of soft porn. Once again, this would not be a problem but it is right after Degrassi... so people are naturally going to watch it. Honestly, that show on MTV like 8 years ago called "Undressed" had more dignity than this show... it called itself what it was... lightweight porn for teens (and it was on at 11... a more appropriate time, not 8 damn 30).

And what, there was this commercial on last week (didn't see it on this week so I think some one may have complained and they took it off) where there's this dude from Degrassi who gets out of the car and then this girl from "South of Nowhere" tongues him down and then he turns around and this girl from "Best Years" tongues him down as well and then all three of them head down to the dance floor and proceed to bump each ways reminiscent of sex with dude in the middle (yeah I think they were supposed to be dancing but they were just all off beat and ish, it looked awful).

It just seems to me that that young teen generation is about nothing but sex. Yes, it has always been prevalent but just broadcasting it seems really weird to me. The N's tagline is, "It goes there"... but seriously, The Best Years is just dumb.

And no I'm not just talking out of my ass because I do watch DeGrassi... faithfully, but then again I am 23 and have been watching it since Junior year of high school when they were in middle school and the only thing they had to worry about was looking up porn on the computer (great episode by the way).

I'm not exactly sure how to feel about "South of Nowhere". The two black guys in it are cute, so I can't really complain.

All and all... the N lost a couple of points with me for "Best Years". Yeah, I'm sure all of the pre-pubescent horny teens love it, but come ON now. Be real man... be freaking rea.


* Not to mention COMPLETELY inaccurate. A freshman would never be a captain of a college basketball team regardless of how good they are. If dude is such a star, he would NOT be sharing a dorm room with "regular" people. And why are those people always hanging out at that bar? Hello... underage drinking much?

Piles

Who the hell is this Piles person? Just extra grimey with no rhyming skills. How did you get a record deal anyway? I was watching Making the Band 4 and when that went off, they did that little music preview thing and he has some song out with him and T-Pain. It was just ew. There was this part when this chick is bending over the sink and cleaning and he sneaks up to her and grabs her from her behind. Why did they chick even look slightly disgusted when she turned around. I think she was supposed to look surprised maybe.... she looked mad disgusted. lol. great.

My How You've Grown

OK, so I just got back from seeing "Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix" and all I have to say it.....grrrrreat. How dare unnamed news paper give it a 2.5 stars. What the freak ever. I will write more on this when I am a bit more coherent. What I will say is it is amazing to see how the actors have grown up. Rupert Grint aka Ron has grown into quite a handsome young man in a wierd/off kinda way. How dare he be kinda built. Seamus' jawline was a bit manly...thus majorly disturbing. Neville wanted to get all tall and ish. Harry, still short as ever, but the face was totally different...not the young chubby face we are used to...

Very wow. At least Hermione looked the same.

Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald...

...are quite possibly the best "blue eyed soul" artists out there (yeah, I'm pretty sure that neither of them have blue eyes, but that is neither here nor there).



And they are live... no voice modification or NOTHING. Straight up pure talent.

Breakdown O' The Year

Rock's breakdown on Hell's Kitchen was possibly one of the best documented mental breakdowns ever in life. I had to watch it twice it was so good. WHAT IS SO ORIGINAL ABOUT SOME CRAB AND LOBSTER BISQUE!!!!!! lol

That is all.

Actually no it isn't... why did the girl that got eliminated look like that? She look like Corpse Bride or something. I think she probably got so stressed she stopped eating herself.


NOW that is all.

Charm School Reunion

First, let me say that as much as I like Monique and as much as I believe that she is a genuine person... I do believe she was putting on just a little bit. Second, WTF is wrong with these girls? I mean seriously... I saw no change in any of them except Saaphyri and Leiline... Saaphyri wanted that money so bad she figured she had to change. Let's go down the list:

Toastie: Uh did she even say anything?

Brooke: Can you say looney? I mean she is seriously a disgrace to women everywhere. I hope she doesn't think she's classy because that was the trashiest ish I have ever seen in my life. And why was she looking all hateful when they gave Leiline 10,000 dollars? I mean I know she didn't think she was going to get it after the way she acted... it's called Charm School for a reason...

Courtney: How dumb can you be? How is someone going to give you a entertainment deal and then you make a joke about them? Dumbest thing ever in life.

Saaphyri: Weave was much better than the finale. I actually think she did change, but stayed who she is at the core which is a good thing. I don't care what

Larissa: Ole fake @$$ New York. No, she can't even be classified as a New York because New York's whole villain persona is an act. Larissa is just straight up like that... like she's entitled to something. Sit down and learn how to talk... thanks. And I'm mad that her mom was backing the way that she was acting up. Not even OK.

Shay: Yeah... I still don't like her. I don't care. And I hate to say this, but I agree with Larissa, Shay was trying to act like she had nothing to do with the picture incident. Come on NOW.

Becky: She's funny. No, I'm still not laughing with her... I'm laughing AT her.

Shatar: Simply tripping... she really is in another world....Disney quite possibly.

Another Again

This song by John Legend is just wow... I had never really listened to the words, but the words are wow. They make me tear up just listening to them because the words are so real.

"She's not the best but she's all that I know"?? My goodness if that doesn't just tear at your heart.

I have no earthly idea why I've been so emotional this past week... actually I do, but that's neither here nor there.

Wait wait, there's more... how about Mellosmooth... I just relistened to that after a couple of years and oh my gracious if that doesn't make you feel good... there is something wrong with your inner plumbing.

The truth in The Truth About Cats and Dogs

So I first saw this movie when it came out (on HBO of course) and I liked it, I thought I was cute. Yeah, I was in like 7th grade and really didn't understand that this movie has sooo much truth in it. I was watching last night and even though it was a comedy I was moved by it. Probably because the main character reminded me of myself in sooooo many ways. Low self-esteem is a biotch.. seriously though.

But my absolute favorite part of the movie... can anyone guess? The part where they were talking on the phone all night (sans the phone relations part). She was fully able to be herself without holding back because dude couldnt see what she looked like. It's so sad because I feel like that at times...not because I don't think Im attractive, but because I'm not what society tells people is attractive so sometimes that gets drilled into my head. But anyway... that part just really kind touched me.

Other than that, the movie kinda irked me cuz dude was wierd.

Making the Band 4: 07/03/07

Is it just me, or do shows that feature men do better than shows that feature women? Ok I guess it is just me because I am watching this show simply because they are dudes... not because there are any cute guys because there aren't, but because there is bound to be less drama.

So far, there are some guys who can sing (D'Angelo) and then there are some guys that think that doing a couple of runs with vibrato means you can sing (most of the other guys). Guess what, it doesn't. I makes you look awful.

And someone PLEASE tell me why everytime Puffy (I refuse to call him Diddy... you started out as Puffy, Imma call you Puffy) walks in, they do this dramatic slow down ish? You are not that special. You cheated on your wife while she was 2 4 month olds at home with one THE trashiest looking female member of "your band" like 5 months after you proclaimed in Essence that you were a changed man? You are ish dude. But whatever... main point being, the slowing down ish is not necessary and extremely egotistical because we know he be in on the editing part telling them to do this because I know no one else did that ish but him. Egotistical bastard.

But I like your show, not because it's yours though...

Charm School Finale

Was anybody other than me surprised by the finale of Charm School? They were all crying and snotting... I actually think this show turned into something other than trying to get on TV for some of the girls. I was surprised. I mean all of them were snotting and carrying on. For a slight moment, they left me with a some warm feelings inside... but then I was like HOLD UP. This is Charm School, it's not even that serious.

I was happy Shay was not in the running. She wanted to act like the picture scandal was not her fault and she was all upset because they "turned on her". Trick you were acting like the third biggest b-word in that house (next to Larissa and Brooke) let's be real with out lives. You got what you deserved.

I am not sure what to think about the ending though. Yes Saaphyri deserved and needed the money and for that I am happy she won. BUT, based on what the show was supposed to be about, Leiline shoulda won. To me, Leiline definatly grew the most out of everyone. But then again, Saaphyri didn't have a home and stuff and they were trying to help her out... but I still feel like she didn't change at all.

All in all, I take back everything I said about this show before I watched it. It actually did have a good premise and turned out to be much better than Flavor of Love because it wasn't focused on shaking the goodies. However, I think Monique started feeling herself a little bit too much in that headmistress role. I think she really started believing that mess.

How You Gon' Rip It Like THIS Son??????

How you gonna rip it like this son?! How you gonna rip it like that son! I don't play that, because it's action. I'm talking bah bah bah Cause I'm black son. I'm the black sheep, the real black sheep! Dood-le dood-le doodle-doo. Talkin bout ungh! (proceeds to do the Kid N Play with himself)
- Dave Chappelle

How can you NOT be a fan of someone that writes that? I mean seriously?

I have also come to the conclusion that the second season of Chappelle's Show was indeed better than the first season. The first season was good much in the same way Shrek was good. You've never seen anything like it so you are going to be enthralled by it. However, the second had better content.

Spaghetti Spaghetti, rippin it up, rippin it up....that is all

SYTYCD 06/28

So not feeling Danny... why was he hysterically laughing when he found out he was in the bottom three? Like he wasn't supposed to be there or something. Cocky SOB. And why were his pants so freaking tight. Made me very uncomfortable.

I must say Jessie KILLED that. That was seriously impressive. I didn't know that that was her style of dance. The moves were going with the music... just hot. She is my second favorite female dancer next to Sabra. And her dance with Pasha was great... better than fake Bette Midler.

Sarah is impressive to. I like her. I can't really say anything else, but it was good.

Anya was awful. She can't really help it though since she is a ballroom dancer. I mean what was she supposed to do?

Lauren coulda done more. To me she just kinda stood there in her little bustier thing.

Jesus was good and Neil was good. But they both kept spinning a bit much for me.

Cedric needed to be in the bottom, but hey, that speech got people voting. Is it safe to say that he may be the equivalent of Sanjaya? No not quite because Cedric really does have talent.

The judges are ridiculous.... Jessie was the best. They are ridiculous. Anya and Lauren were BOTH much worse than her. WTF? Wierd she actually looks like Jaime Pressley. I am so over this dumb ass show. And they let Jesus go. WTF? WTFF (freaking). This show is absolutley stupid. And what did they beep out that he said? Extra awkward. ABSOLUTLY RIDICULOUS

Randomness

I cannot stand when people walk with their hands down. I've already said this in a previous post, but I just had to revisit. That signals a serious lack of confidence in my honest opinion. It's one thing not to acknowledge someone that you know that is passing your direction, but it is completly another to just constantly walk with your head down. I think that says that you arent confident enough in yourself to let people see you... and it is really uncute. Yeah, I said uncute.

Another thing I can't stand... the way it smells in the hospital section of where I work. It does NOT smell sanitary. Most hospitals have sort of a sterile smell to them... a clean and crisp lysol-ish smell. No noo.. Not where I work. It smells like rotten meat with some kinda nasty scent over it. Everytime I go to the specific level... I almost gag. If I knew how to throw up (I havent thrown up since I was 3 so I think it is safe to say that I don't know how) I am sure I would. Very not-appealing.

Isn't it kinda silly that the only thing I have time to write about anymore is So You Think You Can Dance? I mean really. Maybe this means I am getting tired of this whole blog thing?

SYTYCD 06/27

Oh my goodness! Poor Pasha. What in the world was that? I mean seriously.... why did they choose that no dancing red head to dance with him? He couldn't even lift her up. It was just soooo awkward. Pasha did good... but it was just extra weird. Why did Debbie Allen say he was dancing with Bette Midler. Very wow. Pasha was "daring"... he had to be to pick her up (nothing against chunkier people... but she was kinda bigger than him).

Sarah and Jesus: I LIKE Jesus! No matter what style he does he GETS IT. I mean come on, for the "krumping" he looked a straight cholo. LOL. Had the attitude and everything. Sarah was good too. I think the music had a lot to do with it.

Cedric and Shauna: I will admit, it hurt me too much to see this dance. Although I do like his little speech he gave at the end. I think his main problem is that he's really tall and lanky and can't really control his movement (which is why his style looks so cool). And Shauna is rather good. Mary didn't have to be so harsh though.

Lacey and Kameron: NOT FEELING them. Yeah there dance was good. But just because you are effing behind closed doors doesn't mean the world needs to know about it.

Danny and Anya: I actually didn't like it. I felt no emotion. It looked like hip-hop by the numbers.

Dominic and Sabra: They are good. I mean seriously... she started dancing 4 years ago and he has had no "formal" training and the killed that. Dominic even had the hip action and everything

Hok and Jaime: GREAT. My favorite for the night by far. Jaime is very talented the movement she went through at the beginning was amazing. I'm talking about the upper body movement. It looked like she was kinda pop/locking softly very nice. The arm thing got me... woooo. So impressed by her. And we all now I like Hok... he used some of his moves but still did very good on the other movement. Music was perfect too.

Lauren and Neil: It was solid. But honestly, it didn't blow me away or anything. I can't even think of anything to really write about it.

Who SHOULD be in the bottom 3: Cedric/Shauna (lets be real)...Lauren and Neil...Danny and Anya.

If Sabra and/or Dominic goes home tomorrow...Im not watching anymore and I mean it.

That What If's

Just got nostalgic…and when I get nostalgic…I get to thinking. Yes yes… shoulda woulda coulda’s are stupid and just a waste of time. But hey, I feel it, so here goes. If I had one more year of eligibility… I so woulda been the ish. And that is not even saying it in a cocky way. I was hurt for three years out of my four years of eligibility. I didn’t start getting good workouts in until that last year. I mean seriously… how do you go from not being on the top all time performances list… to being 3rd in one year? It’s kinda funny because I think; what if that pivotal night I had where I was deciding my future, I decided to train for track instead of training for the LSAT. What woulda happened then? Would I have run a 22 something (pretty sure…97 percent sure I woulda). It just kinda hurts when you think of the shoulda woulda couldas. And for that matter, what woulda happened had I not cared about school 95 percent and track 5 percent. What if I woulda cared 75% school and 25% track? Would I still have been going to a top 20 law school then? See, this is why I don’t like that think…lol.

Chea!

So I went to the fair tonight to see Boyz II Men and can I say it was hot! I mean seriously. Dudes are still sexy 10 years later... AND they can still sing. I was getting chill bumps... just straight greatness.

SYTYCD: 06/21/07

Um kay, so I am angry about this one. I mean seriously. First let me recap the performances that i remember.

- Lauren and Neil were awful and anyone who says that they weren't was not seeing the same thing I saw. Actually, let me back up Neil was decent...Lauren was doing nothing. People are just voting for her because they know she dances with Tice Diorio. BFD. They needed to be in the bottom.

- Jessie and Pasha: loved the dance. At first, I was a bit scared for pasha when the got jazz, but he handled it, possibly better than she did. However, I don't think Pasha shoulda stayed. He did NOT dance for his life. Last week they voted that dude off because he didn't dance for his life, so they shoulda done the same this week. Even though I like Pasha...

- Lacey and Kameron: yeah Im not sure what I don't like about this couple. Maybe it is the fact that the are obviously "eff-ing". I am not sure. The dance was OK...

- Sabra and Dominic: I was really impressed with Dominic...I was worried about him. Sabra did good and I am really starting to like her. Last week I coulda done without her, but I liked her this week.

- Jimmie and Shauna: Jimmie was getting it in this dance...I mean getting it! He was popping it and stuff...very entertaining. Shauna was "dance by numbers" yet she stayed because she danced for her life. Jimmie left because the judges have serious issues. Jimmie was my favorite by far and he's gone. Very boo.

- Cedric and Faina: Cedric was very boo...Faina was aight. But in the solo's the were the opposite... Faina was extra boo and Cedric was good. She left, he stayed. Not sure how to feel about this. Although I think his solo dancing is sexy...his partner dancing is hurting and as much as I didn't want to see him go... I think he shoulda.

- Natasha Anya and Danny: As much as I don't want to like him, I must admit he is GOOD... And I really like Anya. Not much more to say.

- Hok and Jaime were OK. Hok was getting the hips at the beginning but it faultered at the end. They also looked kinda wierd because she's extra bigger than him. Honestly, they coulda stood to be in the bottom too.

- Sarah and Jesus were cool too. Loved Jesus...he was all commanding and stuff. Sarah actually is doing much better than I thought she would.

So that's my take. JIMMIE shoulda stayed GDit! And why are the dudes like 80 times better than the females this season? I don't even hardly notice them.

Randomness v.7

- I think watching "Best Week Ever" slightly tipsy would be fun (not that I've ever been tipsy). I was just watching this weeks when the Asian Cowboy passed out standing up and was laughing so hard I started crying.

- Why are there so many attractive janitors/patient mobility specialists where I work? I am just trying to figure it out. I mean.... hawt.

- On that note... I feel like I am in that scene in "40 Days and 40 Nights" where dude is in the coffee shop and sees all these women naked because he can't have them. Yeah... that's me... just a bit more PG. Everywhere I go...I feel like there are attractive men just calling my name. It is awful in the very best of ways. I think part of it is is that I am not used to seeing attractive men WHILE I have a boyfriend. In college... all the dudes were hurt, but now that I get out and see other people, it's like WOW there are attractive dudes out there. It's not a temptation thing at all, but I never noticed it before and it's crazy.

- Im glad Joanna is gone from Hell's Kitchen, she whined toooo much.

Dream Within A Dream

Oh yeah, was that dance Cedric did to this Wade Robson song hot as hell. I mean seriously. I was feeling it... I mean not just hot dance wise... it was sexy as WHAT. I feel kind wierd saying that being that he is 3 years younger than me... but hey he's legal right? LOL.

And the song it's self is not bad either.

EDIT: Oh shoooot! I found out he's 23 too.... no more feeling bad about it. That MF is HAWT!!!!!! And just like I said in this post.... men who can dance up their sexy level x5.

SYTYCD 06/14

How tall is Shane Sparks? I mean really. Imma give him a good 5'3.

I think the couple that left needed to go home. Both of them did their final dance like they didn't give two boo boo's about it. I didn't like Ricky's hair... it looked so greasy and very unappealing. And note to girls without a big chest area... just because you don't have large chests does NOT mean that you don't have to wear a bra. We all got more than we were asking for last night when girl did not have a bra on and was poking out everywhere.

That Cedric guy is so cute (in a baby kinda way)! You just want to pinch his checks. However, his dancing was not cute... it was HAWT.... LOVED the movement.

NOT feeling the girl that danced with Tyce Diorio... she has that hidden cocky that just really isn't cute.

Oh yeah, and they are really starting to annoy me...trying to be cutsy and stuff. Coming up with different and "quirky" ways to put their number on the screen. SOOOO annoying x 15. That's why I liked Pasha because he just stood there and smiled. It was classy. But these little kids just up there acting all stupid and stuff trying to show personality. It looks totally contrived and you look foolish. But then again I am 23... maybe that ish attracts pre-teens and teen... I don't know.

SYTYCD 06/13/07

Hok could so get it.... I mean seriously though. He is quite possibly the cutest Japanese guy ever (well him and Ken Watanabe, but that is neither here nor there). I loved the part were he was on his knee sliding. HAWT. The Jaime girl tried though... not her style. She popped a little, but it was very meh.



Anya... I just like her. She's go the attitude and the stage precense. Why does she look like Natasha from America's Next Top Model though? Danny was awful. He had on heels and the belt was awful. I think he is cocky... yes he's a good dancer but my goodness.



Lacey and that other dude were absolutly great. She surprised me. Like Mary said, I don't know what I felt, but I felt something. Favorite routine.



Sabra and the other dude. Disco is always very meh for me. They might be gone might be gone.



The couple that supposedly did the sexy dance... it was HORRID. I mean horrid.



Sara... I LIKE HER. Jesus (Imma call him Chuy). I LIKE HIM. I loved the dance... I don't care what anyone says. Wade Robeson is a good coregrapher.

DUUUUUUUUDE....

so why today was a reading a blog and someone mentioned that Harry Potter might indeed by one of the missing Horcruxes? Oh my gracious gee... why had I never realized the possibility? I mean seriously. It makes total sense... they can't both be living... we know that... be what if Harry finds out that he is a Horcrux? I think he will be willing to die, but I don't think he will have to... some wierd turn of events is going to happen though. OH MY GOSH I CANT WAIT UNTIL IT COMES OUT! AHHHHHH!

Keiko Matsui

is the best pianist ever (sorry Philippe Saisse, your title has been recended... you now get 2nd place). Before I listened to her Wildflower CD, Philippe Saisse was in first and she was in second, but this CD is just amazing to listen to. There are so many levels of feeling in her pieces...i mean layers upon layers. The songs are the kind where you can listen to a song 5 different times and concentrate on 5 different elements and get 5 different feelings. My favorite songs are Flashback, Eldest of All, Facing Up, and Reflections.



I was listening to Eldest ofAll today and if vaugly reminds me of the culmination of excitement in an epic Movie when someone is victorious and is standing ontop of a mountain top. Just strong emotion. I just got chills eating my Burger King.



But seriously though.... she has 10 plus albums and all have a different feel but still manage to keep that Keiko Matsui vibe. She's just freaking great.

The Asian Cowboy

WTF is up with this dude? I mean seriously. I didn't know people were really allowed to be that emotional. He was crying before stuff even started! Come on now. Get yourself together dude. And he was trying to act like he didn't know where all the emotions were coming from. Whatever dude, you know you act like that all the time. He has extra stores of estrogen built up somewhere cuz that was just not necessary.

Ew, and why did that chick come on with those shorts on. No behind having self. It was actually really gross because it was saggy.

And I am sorry I have got to say this, mainly because of the black utility heuristic/linked fate theories, but I do NOT like Joanna and want her gone as soon as possible.

The Break-Up

Intresting movie.... the funniest part was the gay brother... otherwise, it really wasn't funny. It's kinda real though....

How To Toot

Please tell me how one "toot's that thang up". I am really interested to know. What I imagine is someone on a handstand doing really nasty things and stuff.

Kathy Griffin is one funny person. It's the way she delivers the stuff. GREAT!

Akon, WTF?? You canNOT be serious.

What the hell is wrong with Akon?? Please tell me. Yeah this is old news, but I kinda forgot about it until I saw a clip of him actually throwing dude into the crowd. OK. So first, Akon gets in trouble for dry humping a 14 year old in a Trini club. First of all.... what WAS THAT? It was actually disturbing. I know in the Caribbean clubs do it a little different but dang... really Akon? I thought you were a singer, not a "man friday". And then Akon threw a dude into the crowd because he threw something onstage. Why did he think that was OK? The kid threw a little piece of paper on the stage, and then Akon proceeds to invite him on the stage, grab him between his legs, hoist the boy over his head... and TOSS him in the stage. Just extra wow.

Oh yeah, AND you're 35 trying to act like you are 24. Everyone knew your butt wasn't no 24... And I've heard of making little changes to your age in certain situations but 11 years. That is a bit more than creative license don't you think?

I like Sherrod Small from Best Week Ever. He's funny.

Shut The Front Door!

Why did Benji's sister say that when they let her in the top 20? That made me giggle. I thought they forgot to bleep out the eff word. lol. So this is so far who I'm liking... just off the first couple of weeks. I know my opinion is going to change after the first week. Let's see though:

Anya: Loved her audition piece with the dude.
Faina: I am just partial to ballroom/latin dancers. She's cool.
Hok: Need I say more. The things he can do are ridiculous.
Jesus: Loved his audition piece, plus he seems nice. He has LIFT.
Lacey: Benji's sister... I'm liking her. I like her style and the dance she did with Benji was hot.
Jimmy: They didn't show him. He's black gotta support.
Sabra: I'm mad they didn't even show her. Just WRONG. I bet she will be the first to go. But she's black... gots to support.

Worst Lyrics Ever

"Konvict music Nappy Boy OOOOWEEEEE" - T. Pain.

When and if someone finds out what this means, please inform me because am I really interested to know.

Really Disney? Really?

Yeah, so there was nothing on TV so I turned to the Disney Channel as a last resort. The Proud Family was on so I was like... eh OK. This show is straight up and down ridiculous. Why do they make the characters talk like that. Why did someone just say, "That's some real spit yo". Gaaaa dog. This makes me sad. But should it? Should I be happy because it is a "real" representation of African American youths? Or should I be upset because it is perpetuating the stereotype that we don't know how to talk and/or act. And yes, like I said before... I think of EVERY thing consciously. I don't know why, I guess it's a gift.

The Way You Move

MAN! I didn't think it possible... but the cover version of Outkast's "The Way You Move" is quite possibly hotter than the original. Kenny G and Earth Wind and Fire just blew this song up in the best possible way. And I can't believe I heard it for the first time today when it came out in 2005. What is up with that?

And Kenny G. actually sounds rather good in this song. I usually don't like his style... as a matter of fact, I could say that I hate it. It is just to lovey-dovey la la la with no soul. Saxophone to me should have soul at all times. It is just a must. Kenny G. just be looking like he never tips the sax up... just never. But on this song, he got the soul part and everything. And Maurice White's part at the end was nice... didn't so much like Philip Bailey's part. His voice just can't do what it used to... but Maurice's can.

Anyway, if you like Smooth Jazz or "The Way You Move", check it out.

Randomness v.6

So why is there a lady at my job named Cliche? Please remember that I work in RICHMOND.... Also tell me why there were peanut shells in the ladies restroom stall a couple of days ago? Was someone relieving themselves while shelling peanuts? I am just trying to figure that one out.

June LSAT advice:

1. Do not try to guess the experimental section of the test because you will get it wrong. Please trust, I tried and got a 48 percent on the Reading Comprehension. NOT HOT. Luckily, I got a 97 and 92 percent on the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning respectively my score still averaged to be OK (well better than OK but whatever).

2. Don't stress on the stupid people asking questions. They are trying to psych people out and prolong the instructional part of the test because THEY aren't confident. I mean really, the questions they be asking were answered in the first part of LSAT class and in the first chapter of home study guides.

3. Get there 5 minutes early... not an hour, 30 minutes or even 10 minutes. 5 minutes. Anymore time you are going to start wondering and making yourself unsure of yourself... and that is not too good.

- It sucks that Barnes and Noble sells every possible subject matter in study guide form but they don’t have any introductions/study guides for substantive law courses. Dang, I wanted to get some background on some subjects because Imma be straight LOST in Civil Procedure and Torts and Property. And wouldn’t it be a trick-a-docious if I got those three my first semester?

- Is it just me or was Real World Denver one of the most relatable casts in the past 10 years? The ones before them were just dumb, but at least they had some substance. They actually HAD a job… not producing a SxSW video that they probably didn’t do, or running a ship. I actually made it a point to watch it bi-monthly. I wasn’t addicted to it where I watched it every week. And Tyree is kinda a cutie. That body thickness is a bit frightening though… And I recant my statement that Vegas was the worst season. NO NO. That title goes to Chicago. That was awful. All I remember was Aneesa’s nakedness and Tanya's kidney stones.

- I absolutely hate (and I don't like to use that word) when people go out in public in pajamas. Pajama pants is one thing, but full pajama top and bottom is just not cute. Also, I don't understand this "new" fad of wearing a towel outside when it's cold. Wearing the towel like it is a shawl. And it be those ugly Scooby Doo towels and stuff. It is NOT cute. I was walking to work (remember once again... Richmond) and I saw this little high school like chick was outside walking and she had on house slippers, pajama pants a ratty old tee-shirt and one of those small ass Baby Phat puff coats WITH the Scooby Doo towel thing over it. Just looked straight awful.

San Francisco Reader

OK, so there are a couple of readers from "San Francisco" that are repeat visitors and I am starting to wonder if they know me.... Wierd. Those readers.... do you know me? Tee hee hee. If you do come forth so I can know who's reading my mess. Lucky I dont say bad things about people huh.

A New Niche

Have you ever noticed (well first let me say that I don't know if this apply to other states but it SURE applies in CA) that the vast majority of parking lots are owned by Ethiopians? Is that their niche within the Californian economy? I mean seriously. Asian people tend to own dry cleaners and beauty supply stores, Southeastern Asians tend to own the Mini-Marts, and apparently Ethiopians own parking garages. The last three jobs I've had, Ethiopians have run them... hmmm

Investor Gadget?

Please tell me why this chick on Charm School said "Investor Gadget" in a hella serious way. InSPECtor maybe... or InVESTIGAtor but surely not Investor gadget. I am pretty sure he is not trying to find a place to spend his money.

Why is VH1 coming up with a show called "Rock of Love"? I mean really? I wonder if anybody is actually going to watch that show. The title doesn't even make sense. Rock of Love? Flavor of Love at least sort of made sense, but ROCK... yeah how bout no. And who is that dude anyway? Maybe I just don't know him because I don't like that good ole time rock and roll. I don't know. And why do all of the contestants seem just extra countrified? I guess the people on the outskirts of society were tired of not seeing themselves on the ABC/NBC dating shows and felt the need to make their own now. You NEVER saw any black people or country people on those shows that made it past the first elimination. It just didn't happen. I guess VH1 is the new haven for those on the outskirts of society... kinda so they feel normal because they see others on TV just as effed up as them.

Real World Back to Vegas???

Why did they decide to do the Real World Las Vegas again? It was the most not-popular season... in my opinion at least. And have these people not moved on with their lives yet? They are in the same place that they can just up and leave their homes and go on this show for 3 months. I am concerned. Im trying to figure out why no body has a job that they aren't allowed to leave. Arissa looks like old... OK not in a bad way but she looks really mature.

Randomness v.5

- Do all Laila's have deep voices? Laila Ali and Laila Hathaway both have the deepest women voices ever in life. I mean, they still sound like women, but they are just really deep.

- I hadn't heard from on of my so called friends in like three months and then I get this MASS email from here talking about her relationship woes. I'm just like... is this really appropriate being that I haven't spoken to her in about three months. I am just saying. Am I really expected to respond to this? I mean seriously, it is actually kind of offensive to be honest. It's like you don't return my last email and then you mass email me three months later? Man eff that ish.

- Iota House= house of debauchery= a good freshman year.

- Why are southern people so nice? When me and my parents were at the Texas Relay last month we couldn't find a cab. This white dude heard us talking and asked where we were staying and he offered to take us to our hotel. I was all weary about it, but my parents thought he had good intentions (they are from Texas and Arkansas... extra country roots) and he did... just took us to the hotel, didn't ask for any money or anything. And then why did this lady at my job give me her son and mothers phone numbers because they live in Austin? She was like... you always need to know as many people as possible. So SWEET.

-Summer TV is going to suck... sorry it's just gonna suck. Sans SYTYCD

- How much is too much contact informantion? When you have someon'es email, AIM, and cell phone, is that just too many ways to get in contact with someone? Espe.cially if they are of the same sex and not your significant other? I am just saying.

- I feel like gmail is monitoring my emails and that is making me a bit uncomfortable. Why on the side bar is information pertaining to the content of my emails? Not necessarily the titles... but the inner content. I don't care if they are trying to be helpful and organized... I don't like the Big Brother feel of it.

-The Golden Compass is nothing like Harry Potter and how dare people say it is. People extra lied to me. It wasn't a bad book... I give it a four out of five stars. The Subtle Knife seems like it is going to be better than Golden Compass... I especially like fact that there are like four worlds interacting with each other. We'll revisit this assesment when I finish the book.

- How long will "The Ex-Wives Club" be on TV? I give it three more episode before mid season cancellation.

- Why did the education firm I worked for earlier this year think that they were a law firm trying to do billable hours and stuff. Making people write .6 and junk for stuff. I didn't know what it was when I was doing it, I just thought they were extra anal, but yeah... they were doing extra much.

Best Lyrics Ever

"She's sticking closer to you than the bread on the meat of my sandwich". -BBD

If THAT isn't lyrical genius, I don't know what is.

Posers

So yesterday was one of my high school friends graduation party. Me and my other friend went at 1... sang 90's to early 2000's music the whole way up and had a pretty good time. Then we hung out with her family for a while. Then we hung out with her friends. Now here's the interesting part... we went to a "club". So we get there and there one of her friends is already there with another one of her friends and some black guy (one of the girls was Iranian and the other was Mexican).

So basically to make a long story short... it was a "white club"... and you know that when there is a white club there is always the trolling ass black guys looking for white chicks who are going to think they are special... the black chicks who are always dancing alone because they didn't know what kind of club they were walking into but they paid so they aren't leaving.* It is just so disturbing to me. There were about six very cute black girls (myself included) there and no one seemed to want to dance with us. And none of us minded, because I didn't want to dance with anyone there either BUT it is the principle. And the black dudes that were with some of my friends friends just seemed so freaking happy that they had them and Iranian and Mexican on their arm. It was just so damn ridiculous to me. Thinking they were just the ish... and they looked stupid. Like big ass POSERS... trying so hard.

And I am not a racist and it's not that I have a problem with interracial dating. If you happen to fall in love with a person outside of your race... that's fine. But when you specifically look for women outside of your race... that is when I start asking questions? What is the problem? Did you go to an all white school and they made you hate yourself so much that you steer clear of anything pertaining to your race? Did your mother beat you or something and made you hate all women of your kind? Do you for some reason think you are better than your race? I mean someone tell me what the problem is.

And once again, I am talking about people who strictly date other races because their race isn't "good enough". And I know the whole, "You are attracted to who you are attracted to" bullish

I also don't necessarily get how someone who is socially conscious be with someone who is not of ethnic decent (doesn't have to be the same ethnicity). I didn't say date, I mean long term. Because if you are socially conscious, I just don't understand how someone who has not experienced some of the same injustices can empathize and understand some of the things a person might me going through. I mean, if you aren't socially conscious, then that is a different story because you are comforted by the falsehood of equality but that is a whole different story.

There are just so many beautiful intelligent black women who are just being thrown to the curb because mainstream America does not tell people that we OK to be with. And this is not just to black men because if ya'll dumb asses don't want us, that is absolutely fine... it is just sad that the world has come to this. It's like they feel that no matter how smart and beautiful a black women are... they just aren't good enough. If I was still in undergraduate studies, I would write a paper on this.

*One of my friends told me that the most undesired demographic of people are black women and Asian men. Conversely, the most desired group is black men and white women. I wonder why exactly this is? I mean really.

Riddims

It still amazes me how different all dancehall riddims are and yet the are so similar (in a good way). The all posses pretty much the same parts, there just switched around a bit. So the new ones for 2007 I like include....

- Heathen
- Drumline/Timeline
- Red Razor
- Gully Slime
- Nookie

Heathen especially has that beat pattern I like... kinda the same like the b'more club music. That same basic pa... pa... pa... pa... pa pa... pa etc. Just makes you wanna get on the floor and gyrate... in a classy way of course. LOL. Brings me back to good ole days of freshman year in the RITZ!!!! Yeah, it was a ghetto club*, but hey, they played the best dancehall in DC at that point.

* Ghetto meaning torn up couches, sticky floor, just kinda grimey. I suppose I coulda used the term "dive", but who uses dive in terms of clubs? I mean seriously. That term is for bars. So although I don't necessarily like the work ghetto.... it shall suffice in the situation as I cannot find an appropriate substitute.

There's a girl who wears those little heals that are almost flats and she walks so hard you can hear it on carpet. It is quite disturbing.

Can I Introduce Myself?

So the wierdest thing happened to me today. I'm walking down the hallway of my job (my job is so boring, I take breaks by walking across the whole building for fun sometimes) and I see this dude walking toward me. Note: I see this dude sometimes on my daily walks and I always thought he was kind cute or whatever. So Im walkng down the hall and I pass him and then I stop by a window for a minute hoping to lengthen my little walk. And out of the blue... I hear "Excuse me". So I turn around and it's the dude. So he asked my name and blah blah and that was it. THAT WAS IT. Never in my life have I had a cute guy just come up to me ask my name, what department I work in, and stuff like that. NEVER. Well, it happened sometimes in MD, but NEVER in CA. In CA, you get those dudes that really just try to holler at you at every possible oppertunity. No one ever just asks you your name or anything like that. Even the not grimey dudes just come with lines and junk. I was just so shocked... one, dudes dont introduce themselves anymore... and two, he was a cutie.

Ladies wearing men's cologne... tsk tsk

There is this lady at my job that wears men's cologne and it is kinda confusing. It smells GOOD, and I always turn around to see who it is and it's a LADY? Do you know how disappointing that is? You turn around hoping to see a nice looking man, and it's a LADY????? Just rude...

Randomness v.4

Hospitals are the most depressing and boring a just blah places ever. Seriously though. No wonder the characters on Grey's Anatomy are the most unstable people every invented. And, correct me if I am wrong, isn't your medical internship only one year? Even on the specialty tracks such as surgery? I'm pretty sure they don't go on for three years like Grey's Anatomy would like us to believe.

Why is it that harpists (people who play the harp... not people who harp on situations) have a constant serene sort of smile on their face? Does the music make them feel like smiling all the time, or is it in a contract (written or verbal) that says harpists MUST have that little smile on their faces while playing? Not hating, just saying.

People with crazy eyes scare me. Not the lazy eye or eye conditions, but the crazy eye stare/look. You know, when people look at you and their eyes kinda bug out and they look all intense and stuff. Good example, Leilene from Charm School/Flavor of Love. Her eyes just look constantly crazy, especially when she is confused or something. I would hate if she was close to me and she looked at me with those humongous eyes. But whatever, they can't help it.

Do people who are crazy KNOW they are crazy? Do the believe that they are making rational decisions? Is there a point at which they snap back and can recognize rational behavior from irrational behavior? If not, how do we know that we aren't crazy? Its just weird to me that people's minds get so messed up sometimes that they don't even realize that they are crazy. And I am not just talking about clinically loony people... but even people who are just eccentric and what we like to call weird. Do they KNOW that they are acting in the way that most people would classify as abnormal?

The Era Of...

Remember the era of the "Lil's"? Around early 2000's? EVERY rapper had lil in some part of their name... Lil Kim, Lil Mo, Lil Wayne, Lil Zane, Lil Romeo, Lil Jon, Lil Bow Wow, Lil Scrappy, Lil Cease, Lil Flip... need I say more. You couldn't turn on the radio at not hear something from a "Lil". Anyway, now I think it is the era of the "Yung/Young"... Yung Joc, Young Jeezy, some person I've never heard of named Yung Berg, some dude named Yung Dro... and the list continues. Do you recognize this is not original? And what's with the misspellings and abbreviations? Anyway...

I'm Disappointed

With myself that it. When I first started writing this blog... I used to kinda write about interesting things... now I just write a commentary basically on life... everybody does that. I guess trying to get into law school and holding down a job got to me huh?

I am also disappointed with Shrek 3... I was not a happy camper in the theater. There was NONE of that original Shrek humor in there.... Goodness.

Astelin

I've been taking Astelin for about a week now and I can say that it is doing pretty well (knock on wood). I haven't been sneezing and the breathing has been cool. Let us hope that it works because taking benadryl every day and having to drink like 5 bottles of water and day and having your hair break off because the meds are drying you out is not the business. OKAY!

*PS... I really don't like when people say "okay" after they or other people say things. It is supposed to strengthen what you are saying... but it completly weakens it with me because it the OKAY!!! just kinda shocks me and I loose concentration on what you were saying. Thank you in advance.

Randomness v.3

Saaphyri from Charm School is actually kinda pretty if you really look at her hard. She doesn't have typical pretty features or anything, but he features are different and somewhat stunning. I was shocked at one of the pictures they had of her on the vh1 website, she really looked nice. Also, she seems kinda smart. Well, she seems like she has common sense at least and I like the words she chooses. And she really needs the money... she needs to win.

Cledus T. Judd from Celebrity Fit Club gets hotter by the weigh-in. I'm kinda uncomfortable saying that being that he used to be really fat and slimy looking.

DaBrat annoyed the hell out of me at first... but she is cool with me now. Everything that she says is right on the money.

Dustin Diamond (aka porn peddler) is seriously looney... freaking looney. He has a serious issue and it runs deeeeeeep. He really acts like the world owes him something. You are a nobody dude... live with it and move on with your life. Why are you even on the show if you don't want to lose weight? The fact that you are on this show and don't even want to lose weight means that you are desperate to get attention in anyway you can.

Kimberly Locke was crying over something Dustin said???? That was absolutely ridiculous.

Harvey was hot when he said "...don't you ever in your (explicative) cartoon life". LOL. What is a cartoon life? Does that mean his life is a job. That's funny. I also like when people say "I'll wear your ass out" Great!!!!! He is great... he's the best. And he's kind cute too.

Site Addiction

People say it all the time and it is so true. People who blog in one way or another are attention whores. Seriously people. And I realized this about myself a couple of days ago when I signed up with Google Analytics. Some people want outward attention, others just want a sense of validation. The later is me to some extent. I just want to know that other people are reading what I write. I write it for me... but then again, I write it for other people or else I wouldn't have made this public for everyone to see. Back to Google Analytics.

I just wanted to see WHERE people where people lived who were coming to my blog. But now, it is kinda becoming an obsession. OH! Let's see who read my blog today. WHAT? My reader count today is down 20... that is not hot! Why do I get 75 percent newcomers and only 25 percent repeat visitors? Why if so many people visit my blog does no one comment.
I was at work thinking about these questions. Having such a cool way to see how your blog is doing and having nothing to do at work is not a good combination at all.

Secondly... I feel like I need to admit something. A couple of summers ago, I was addicted to two website. Here it comes... The Knot and The Nest. No, I was not planning a wedding or planning family life, I was just on the message boards for the DRAMA. I didn't have a username thus, I couldn't comment, but everyday after track practice I would go on both these sites and read through the posts. It was so interesting to me to see how other people saw life and how other people lived. It had been over a year since I had been on either of these websites and just for the heck of it, I went on both of them yesterday, just to see if they'd changed. The Knot's website looked the same, and the message board was updated a bit. The Nest was completly redone message board wise and was kinda overwhelming at first. But one thing that stayed the same... the people. First of all, there were still some of the same people on there that were on there over a year ago. It's like dang... I know the constant bickering is funny for a while, but doesn't it get old at say... year 3? And the same kind of people were on there too. I

Albuterol

Why everytime America Ferrera/Betty speaks, it sounds like a monologue? Just all breathy and everything. And she kinda sounds preachy too. Very boo.

Side Note: Henry is Harrison John from "Popular". LOL. WOW! I am impressed. He grew up!

Extra Boo

American Idol is a crock. Melinda Doolittle can sing rings around these people... I am so done. But we knew she wasn't going to win. When you let a whole bunch of little pre-teens with cell phones loose.. stupid things happen and this is just an example of one of those stupid things. The judging system is just dumb... they should at least do it like they do thier "sister show" So You Think You Can Dance. The experts judge who should be in the bottom and then from there, America chooses... not this bullish way American Idol does it.

Never will I watch American Idol... part on principle and partly because I will probably be studying to hard and will have to devote my well earned TV time to better shows... like ANTM or DWTS. LOL.

Speaking of ANTM... I didn't like Jasleen at first... but she's OK now. I'm just glad Natasha didn't win.

American Idol: 5/15

Um, yeah. I really not be hearing what the judges are hearing because I am sorry... but Melinda was AWFUL on that first song to me. Maybe I just don't like the song... but I just heard terrible. The second song was better for me, nut she just seemed to be screaming. She really likes to kick. lol. And I really think Melinda wants to go home... now you KNOW you she shoulda sang "My Funny Valentine" as her choice song. Maybe she is just waiting to pull that out next week, I don't know. But I really don't know if she is going to stay with that. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!!!! Jordin was not doing for me either. Well, her first song was OK, but that that second song was just NOT it. She can sing one genre... that slow stuff... but if its fast, its over for her. Third song was definatly her best... it sounded good. But I still don't like her. Blake was just OK... but it seemed like he was not on beat or anything. His voice shakes too much me... and think I'm tired of him... actually I think I am tired of them all because none of them did anything for me. It was like Chris Richardson reincarnated. Robin Thicke song was kinda hot... but maybe because I really liked the original version. It was extra copycat though.

So what... they just don't criticize them at this point?

Conclusion: Melinda is going home.

Wait... why did my mom try to vote for Melinda and she accidently voted for Blake and jerked the phone away when she heard his automated vote. LOL. It was great.

Biter Ass Biters

Let me preface this by saying I am from the Bay Area... so I do indeed know what Hyphy music is made of and blah blah.

But anyway... hyphy started out as this purly Bay Area creation... with it's own beats and everything. But over the past months, I have noticed this trend. OK actually, I shouldn't attribute this to the hyphy movement... I changed my mind. This is going on the radio stations out here. A lot of times when they mix songs... the put in beats that sound like baltimore club beats. Anyone who knows baltimore club music knows that they all have different beats, BUT there is that one sterotypical beat that one thinks of when one thinks of baltimore club music, such as this or this. That boom, boom, boom, boom boom. LOL. Classic.

I was really excited when I heard this beat and started getting it with my seat in the car... but then I was like WAIT. Not hot. I mean, it's OK to take ideas from other people... but it's like... your extra late on that. Thanks so much.

Why do all of the professional women dancers on, "Dancing with the Stars" always stare at their partner when they are speaking to the Samantha lady? I mean really. Do they tell them to stare at their partner in an awe struck way? I don't get it. In fact... it reminds me of those little kiddie pageants where they are supposed to flirt with the MC when he comes and sings by them (which is disturbing in itself... a WHOLE nother post). I mean I know they are proud of them.. but to me it's just a little bit too much.

And the announcer finally said LAILA instead of LINDA Ali... that made me feel very good.

The ENT Doc.

Oh yeah, I got so heated about the "Road to Health" I forgot to tell about my visit to the ENT doctor. So... I have been having SEVERE allergies since the induction of spring... so sever that I have had four psuedo anaphylactic responses in two months... Yeah, not so hot. So I go to the ENT doctor to examine my adenoids. Doesn't sound bad right? Wrong. In order to see the adenoids the doctors have to stick a camera up the nostrils. They sprayed some anesthesia up my nose then stuck this long instrument up my nose and told me to do all kinds of coughs and swallows with this thing up my nostrils. It was horrible... I almost felt as violated as I did when I had to get a shot in the patooty. Good thing... I don't have to get the adenoids out. Bad news.. Im probably going to have to take benadryl everyday for a while now which makes me incredibly thirsty... But that's better than surgery right?

"American Dreamz" and "The Terrorist"

So I am watching "American Dreamz" and it reminds me of a mix of of course, "American Idol" and the movie, "The Terrorist". I can't decide if it was good or not... OK, it wasn't good, but it was decent. Oddly enough, it had a LOT of similarities to "The Terrorist", I seriously think the dude that wrote "American Dreamz" saw "The Terrorist" and liked it and really wanted to make another movie like it. It had the same basic plot, except "The Terrorist" was about the Tamil Tigers and "American Dreamz" is about some radical group in the middle east. Malli's whole family was killed by this guerrilla group, Omer's family was bombed by and American bomb. Malli joined a terrorist group to avenge her brothers death... Omer joined a terrorist group to avenge his mothers death. Malli gets placed with this family who is supposed to be teaching her botany... Omer gets placed with his cousins who are teaching him to sing. Eventually Malli comes to love this family that she is put with and starts having second thoughts about the attack... Omer comes to love his family and somewhat of America and starts having doubts about the attack. That's where the similarities end because they don't tell us what happens in "The Terrorist". It's not an American movie so they didn't feel the need to spell out the ending... they let the viewer decide what happened. In "American Dreamz", Omer has a change of heart and doesn't do it.

But in all seriousness... I wonder if the writer of American Dreams saw this movie... the similarities are uncanny.

Im Elderly

I graduated from college a year ago today. I am elderly.

Road To Health and the ENT Doc.

So I am listening to 98.1 this morning and Tavis Smiley was on there promoting his, "Road to Health" tour sponsered by Kaiser Permanente. So he was calling off all of these random facts about health in the black and brown communities and it was extra disturbing to me. And it really wasn't anything new, it was just the fact that I guess I was listening to it on the moring commute not expecting to hear it. Except he lost me when he said that the black community has produced historically the best athletes yet they are the most unhealthy people... there is no correlation. Just because A does not mean B. Come on now Tavis. But seriously, it is so sad that black people are so unhealthy. And a lot of it is all about eating. Actually, I think all of it is all about eating. In the old days, black slaves had to eat things that were NOT supposed to be eaten because it was the only thing they were given. They were not given the more "healthy" parts of animals... naw naw... they were given the parts that white people refused to eat (uh lets see... chitlins, pig ears, feet, hamhocksm, gibblets all come to mind and more). That junk is not good for you... I don't care "how good it is"... it is not supposed to be consumed by humans. Blacks in the past ate this because they had to survive... but blacks now eat it because of tradition and it is making them unhealthy. It's all about this culture of good soul food... but man, you are becoming so unhealthy because of it.

It makes me think of the movie, "Soul Food". I had never thought about that movie until I watched a "Boondocks" episode where Riley goes to say how the movie was about a black family who ate alot of bad food. Then "big mama" got sick and died of all the things that black people usually die of and then the family kept the tradition alive by gathering every Sunday and eating the same food that probably contributed to big mama's demise.

I can't help but think that things that help instill a culture in black people are also killing us... hmmm. Think about it.....

I Got Canned Heat Ya'll

I think Canned Heat is one of the best dance songs made in the 2000's (how are you supposed to say that by the way? DO you say in the 00's??). And I don't mean the best dance song like you would dance in the club... but overall dance song. The beat and melody are so simple yet ridiculously addictive. I mean come on, Napolean Dynomite killed it to this song... it was good in the finale of "Center Stage"... Ryan from "So You Think You Can Dance"* did his best solo dance to this... and finally, Maksim and his brother and Karina and some other chick danced to it on, "Dancing with the Stars". This song worked with all of these seriously different genres (freestyle, ballet, modern, and some sort of freestyle Latin dance respectively).

But overall, the extended version just makes you want to get up and dance. It is impossible for me to hear this song and NOT start dancing to it. And that's what music is all about... making people feel something.

You know how doesn't have canned heat though? The Warriors. I don't understand what their issue is. Well actually I do.... they are too short and the judges cheated against them today. It was so obviously ridiculous to me that the judges wanted to cheat so blatantly as SOON as the warrior started to lead. I almost feel as though because they upset Dallas so badly, people just really want them to lose just to prove that their win was a fluke. All I am saying is don't cheat. Warriors need some canned heat though seriously right about now... maybe they can take some for Maksim and his brother.

This was totally random... but hey, I'm a random person so what do you want me to do?

*By the way.... "So You Think You Can Dance" comes back on MAY 24th! YAY!

Um, Yeah, What?

So why is there a song by guitarist Paul Brown called, "The Rhythm Method"? Seriously though. I don't understand why he titled a song after a method of birth control? I wonder what he was thinking about when titling the song... like what was going through his mind. The song doesn't even have sexy undertones or anything... it actually is really good driving music... so I am really not understanding why he decided to name his song after some birth control.

Is THIS What Black IS?

http://www.zshare.net/audio/bootz_going_off-mp3.html

This Bootz/Larissa character is absolutely ridiculous. She just said, "I'm just showing you what black is" on the radio to someone. Naw chick you just showed everyone what ghetto is. That is what you are showing people. It's not even cute... and she swears it is. Do NOT bring down the whole race trying to say that is the way black people act? You are a disgrace to the race. You are absolutely foul and shameful. And then she is trying to act like she has reason to act the way she does.

But you know what... here's the thing... the argument is basically about how Buckwild is disrespecting the black race by the way she acts. What's funny about it is that Bootz wants to say Buckwild is disrespectful to what she's doing... but Bootz whole person is disrespectful. She disrespects pretty much everyone she comes in contact with... she's on a radio show talking like she is. It is absolutely uncalled for. She's disrespecting the entire black race by saying she is what being black is really about. Is that what you want people to think black people are? Just ignorant and disrespectful? And it's worse because she's a black WOMAN. People already think poorly of young black women... why would you perpetuate the stereotype even further?

Well if being black is acting like Bootz... I don't wanna be black anymore. Imma be African American or a person of darker than "average" pigmentation then. lol. It's called learn how to have an intelligent argument without screaming and cursing like a banshee. It's called learn how to respect others opinions so people will take you seriously and not see you as a spoiled ignorant child. No one thinks people are worth the time of day when they act like that... they are just eventually dismissed.

You know... this whole show disturbs me. YES I watch it for comedy... but then when you think about it, it's not GOOD. If people outside of the black race what this and haven't had much contact with black women... this is what they would think we all are like. "I Love New York" wasn't so bad for the men because they weren't acting up.. they were just constantly drunk. These chicks are just shameful!

And you know what... I don't care if people disagrees with me... in fact, I welcome dissenting opinions. I'm about to get my doctorate in arguing... I need the practice.

Shorty McShort Short

Why are Apollo Anton Ono's legs so short? I am just trying to figure it out. And the high waisted pants are NOT helping. lol. However... he is kinda hot dancing huh? If he wins I won't mind... but of course Imma vote for Laila! Come on now.

Side Note: Maksim is absolutely HOT... no no HAWT!! He would so get done. I mean seriously. That does he did tonight to the Jamiorqui song was absolutly hawt. His brother actually could kind get done too... Which continues my theory that if you can dance... it hightens your sexy level about 3 points higher than what it would originally be.

Second Side Note: The rock step is the coolest step in dancing.

American Idol: 5/8

Now, tonight wasn't that bad for me... maybe because I really like the Bee Gee music. The judges were absolutely off tonight for me. I really liked Melinda, mainly because that is one of my favorite Bee Gee songs. She sang that second song too... I don't care what anybody. She is simply the best singer there. Always on pitch. So what are they saying she needs to throw away the technique and wow her? Paula is on something serious. Blake's performance was kinda uncalled for... the beatboxing was out of place for me. Although I do like the song. I did like the music to the second song. But his singing was horrible! And what was up with that transition in the middle? Im just trying to figure. And I swear he forgot the lyrics for a minute. I really liked LaKisha.... it was different dang! Give her a break. I'm worried about her though with that second song. Again, I didn't like Jordin.... The judges are really getting on my nerves because it is obvious who they want to win. I mean, she has a nice voice, I will give her that... but it is NOT all that they make it out to be. Yes, they said Blake is not going to win... it is between LaKisha, Melinda, and Jordin. So why can she change up the style but LaKisha can't... it's just ridiculous. They know that she will sell more records than probably Melinda and LaKisha combined NOT because she is better because she simply isn't... but she is more sellable to middle white America which is who this is targeted to. And this isn't a race thing... it just is what it is. And I am not trying to take anything away from her... BUT I really don't think that she is all that they make her out to be. It's OK for her to sing in the same style... but it's not OK for Melinda... WHATEVER. I am so sick of this.

Conclusion: Blake is staying... Melinda or LaKisha. They always get rid of the best person at this stage...THIS SHOW IS SOOOO FRIGGIN RIGGED. Oh, she's surely gone... my mom keeps calling to vote and she keeps getting though....GAAA DAWG.

Rick James=Better Than I Thought

You know, Rick James was really a good artist. The four songs they play repeatedly on the radio and the songs that people know him for really aren't good compared to all of the other songs he has made. I really don't like, "Mary Jane" or "Give It To Me" very much, so initially, I was under the assumption that I didn't like Rick... but he has got some good songs. And what's even more... he could actually kinda sing. And the instrumentals at the end of his songs were kinda hot too. This goes for so many artisits though. I used to think I didn't like Marvin Gaye because, "Let's Get It On" and "Sexunal* Healing" just don't do it for me either.

The same goes for Earth, Wind, and Fire. I have been a fan of thiers since I was about 3 years old. I remember dancing to "Fantasy" while my mom was vaccuuming when I was itty bitty. But they play the SAME four songs of theirs on the radio... and never breach out to some of their best songs. "Sun Goddess" is the best song just for the record.

Conclusion: Mainstream radio music sucks.

* I spelled this "Sexunal" because I don't want some pervert ending up here because he was looking for some special healing if you know what I mean.

Randomness v.2

Desperate Housewives: I liked Tom Scavo's little threatning monolouge on Sunday. It was kinda hot. Especially the part when he basically said, You better leave my wife alone because the best you can have is if she has a moment of weakness because she will NEVER leave me. That was kinda hot. Then he lost me on the part when he was like, I'll love her just as much as she hates herself for doing it. Yeah, I'm not so such about all of THAT.

Krayzie Bone's CD, "Thug Mentality" would be a really really good CD if he wasn't talking about killing someone on pretty much each song. The beats and melodies are really nice. Yeah it's old, but I had a throw back day in the car today.

Are You Serious: Paris Hilton is petitioning to your governer for a pardon for her possible 45 day jail stint.... if they really pardon her dumb ass after she violated her probation stipulations, I really AM never coming back to California because that is just ridiculous. You broke the rules, deal with it like a normal person. I mean seriously... who are you? What have you contributed to the society except for, "That's hot". Be real with your life. Deal with it. And then her mom wanted to get all up in it saying it was ridiculous and a waste of taxpayers money. Why is it ridiculous? Because she thinks she's somebody? So... if it is ridiculous for her, then it better be ridiculous for everyone else who breaks the law. Geez.

Annoying much?: So there is this DJ on this radio station that REALLY annoys me. I don't understand his/her "accent". It's just like super duper ghetto... and that is the only way I can classify it. It isn't southern, Californians don't have accents, it's not northern, it's not anything but just straight ghetto. And the thing of it is... the guest on the show talk just as normal... and he/she constantly uses this accent almost (well it seems to me) to fit it. It sounds totally contrived... you know when you can tell someone's accent is false... it is just absolutly horrible. And he/she always throws in some choice slang words at oppertune times... it makes me cring soooo hard. Why do I listen you ask... because they tend to play good music at that time, so I just bear with it.

Screech Gone Looney: Screech (no, he doesnt even deserve to be called his real name now) is absolutly looney. He has the personality that I absolutly can't stand. For some reason, he really thinks he is entitled to something. Like the world owes him something. Dude, like Kimberly Locke said... You are a GD child star with a porn tape out who has to sell tee shirts on the side of the street to pay your GD mortgage. And he was going to sit up in those confessionals and talk about those people so bad, and then try to be their friend the next minute, and then when caught... he was going to act like he didn't say anything wrong. Wait Wait! And THEN he has had two or three "breakdowns and threatend to quit, but then decided to come back when everyone begged and kissed his ass to come back"s since the show started and it's only like episode 4. I wouldn't say nothing to his dumb A.... peace out... homie. You are foolish and you probably were more mature when you were 12 playing Screech. Thanks in advance.

Local Honey: I drove up to Capay to go to Cache Creek on Sunday and I spotted a place that sells honey that is supposed to cure allergies since it is 100 pure. I am nervous... but that would mean that I would have to stop taking my allergy medicine to see if it works huh?? No, I'm straight.

Yeah, you really aren't cool... sorry

I can't say it enough... but I just don't really understand why people like T-Pain. He sings with a vocador (the thing that makes his voice shake), he can't write, he steals people's verses and to top it off...he's not even remotly cute. I mean how do you make it in the record business with lines such as, "I'm In Luv (not love) Wit a Stripper" and "she made us drinks to drink, we drunk em (got drunk)... and now I think she thinks I'm cool". I a really confused by this.

And then, this dude gets arrested in Miami because his show went over and he flipped out like he really was somebody... throwing the mic and everything. Let us be appropriate, mmmkay? What's the word for a man diva? Well whatever it is... T-Pain +3 is really trying to be it. Not that diva's have reason to act the way they do... but usually when you act like you're the ish.... you kinda are. You aren't some heavy-set dude from the "M-I-A" with dookylocks in his hair.

With all that being said... the beat of Bartender is kinda nice... but his lack of lyrical content and just overall grimeyness just kills it.

Don't Hate, Just Look and Appreciate. Thanks

Yeah, so one of my track coaches was telling the graduating seniors last year how we were going to be hated on by everyone at our grad school/jobs in the next year. Why? He said because of the track body. I was like, "Whatever, it isn't even that serious" and kinda ignored it, but I am finally starting to get this reaction from people. It's really sad actually. It's almost like people are so insecure with how they look, they have to always say something about someone else. People are always going around commenting on my body in one way or another. The remarks range anywhere from "You have a really cute shape" to "You need to eat". The comments closer to the first one, I don't really mind, but the second comment is just so wrong on many levels. First of all, I am 134 and 5'5.... which is like a GREAT ratio. I don't need to eat, the problem is is that YOUR ASS needs to STOP eating. I am sorry your BMI sucks, but there is no need to hate on my because of it. And sometimes, it's not even the comments, it's what's NOT said. I'm starting to notice people staring at me. And they are never looking at my face, there are always looking at my middle sections. Last comment, so today, this lady was like, "I have to eat steamed broccoli and cauliflower everyday at lunch so I can look like you. You're ridiculous". I wasn't offended by this comment, but it was the comment that sparked this post. It's almost like it is unnatural for people to be in shape anymore and I really don't understand why.

And another thing that bothers me, people act like I didn't work for what I have. I worked out 6 days a week and twice on 4 of those 6 days. It took a lot of sacrifice, so don't act like I am just so lucky that I look this way.

This is just coming up for me because at work, I wear "real people" clothes and I am not always in sweats and stuff so people can see the shape. When I go to law school, it's back to tee shirt and shorts for me... this attracts too much attention. And no I am not being cocky because anyone who knows me knows that I am on the opposite end of that spectrum.

Body Glitter, Gold Teeth, and Baby Blue Jumpsuits

So what do all three of these have in common? According to 106.1kmel, it's Pretty Ricky. Body glitter though? Is that supposed to be sexy? And the combination of body glitter, gold teeth, and baby blue jumpsuits is just not appitizing. I really don't get why women (ok back up, preteens) like them so much. As I said here, they are basically just Jodeci with 95 percent less talent. And maybe the body glitter and jumpsuits could possibly look good on attractive people, but they all look so greasy.

Oh yeah, and why on American Idol last night, did Jordin see the camera looking at her and tried to squeeze out some fake tears? I really have had enough of her. The fakeness is not cute.

American Idol: 5/1

I haven't commented on American Idol in a while, mainly because noone did anything that stood out to me. Yesterday, however, was a different story. Blake's rendition of "You Give Love a Bad Name" was hot! Well, the first 45 seconds of it at least... the way he slowed it up was nice though. Um, Jordin's song frightened me.. and to think before I actually liked the song. She was simply out of control... as E-40 would say, she was doing 7 much (not too much, but 7 much). Melinda was cool, of course, not my favorite, but she still sounded good. I didn't like LaKisha too much, but Simon obviously did enough to sustain some lip glossage. And the gloss was still on there while he was critiquing. Was anybody else uncomfortble when that happened? I mean, I literally cringed. Simon does like the black women though... I think his girlfriend is 1/2. I like Phil, but he just did nothing for me tonight. And finally, Chris was cool. He tried to act like he wasn't bothered by Simon's repeated comments on his "nasalcality", but he sure did cut that ish out last night. lol.

Oh yeah, why did I know and at one point or another liked 4 out of the 6 songs? I guess I am a semi Bon Jovi fan and didn't even know it.

Twins? pt. 2

I think Baron Davis is just Black Thought from The Roots in disguise.

I'm just saying...
