10 Things I Need to Get Off My Chest...

These prices are coming soon to a gas station near you!

Well, well, well...it's been awhile!  I need to vent for a minute...Here goes!

1.  It's apparent that a lot of people in the USA never paid attention to their Civics & Government classes.  When a person is is born to a American citizen, even if that American Citizen is in another country at the time of the infant's birth...guess what?  That child is an American citizen.  My point?  Get off Barack Obama...his mother was an American citizen...his mom could've given birth to him on the moon...and he'd still be...AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!  So find something else to occupy your time.

2.  In the news, there's been coverage about a serial killer in New York City.  I guess my question is why are you divulging all of the information on the news?  Doesn't that give the serial killer a heads-up as to what law enforcement is about to do next? Which defeats the purpose of trying to catch a criminal...They'll never catch him/her at this rate...

3.  I miss college basketball...March Madness was awesome this year.  NBA Basketball just doesn't move me like that anymore.

4.  We need more new shows that are scripted...and get rid of some of this "reality TV".  Let put some of those hard working writers, producers and crew back to work.

5.  Back to Obama.  This may be wrong, but I want him to POP OFF so hard on these Republicans...and then lean back and say in his calm voice, "Cause I'm the MuthaF-ckin President!" He gets the job done, but I don't think I've ever seen this much drama between the President and Congress.

6.  Parents...take a sincere interest in your kids' education.  That's all I have the strength to go into today.

7.  I'm about to be a size 8 by the end of the summer because I'm about to buy a bike because the gas is too damn high!

8.  Back to the Republicans: You clown BHO because of his ideas...but what are you bringing to the table.  Your goal is to make the country better, not grandstanding.  Democrats...I've got something for you too.  Get a some damn balls!

9.  We're all grown here.  Stop making stupid excuses.  You are responsible for you.  It's called accountability.

10.  Conversate is not a word (it's converse).  Orientated isn't a word either (it's oriented).  Stop using them so you'll sound more educated.

Feel free to add to the list! That's all...carry on!   ;)

20 Questions...

15.  Can politicians (regardless of political party) do the job that the people elected them to do instead of just trying to out-do each other?

16.  Aren’t you glad Chicago is finally getting some good weather? 

17.  If the Republicans think that the health care plan is sooo bad, do they have an alternative plan?

18.  Can we add Beyonce and Rihanna to the go away list in Question #1?

Tell me what you think!

To Be…or Not to Be? That is the Question…

I have to say that I’m disappointed in the decision by the California Legislature not to pass Proposition 8. I don’t think that the government should have a say so in who should be together. The LBGT community participates in the very being of having to be an American; by that I mean voting, paying taxes, etc., so why can’t they be with who they want to be with? It bugs me that sometimes our country can be so focused on minute things when we could be focused on that needs our total focus (unemployment…soldiers in Iraq, the economy – hello?).

When I was in high school, I had some teammates that I played sports with that have later on came out of the closet, and it didn’t make me feel different in any way towards them at all. In my opinion...there are two types of people in this world. You are either cool people or you're not cool people. That's it. If you're sometimey, then you're not cool. It's as simple as that. My mind traveled back down memory lane and I recalled some incidents (that I’ve seen & read about) that have cemented my belief that being anything other than heterosexual one of the most stressful things to be in America besides being the President (not equating the two...just making a comparison about how stressed one can be in those situations). When I first started playing sports, my father (and his side of the family) was excited…his daughter was following in a long family tradition of being an athlete. On the other hand, my mom’s family wasn’t having it. I can vividly recall an aunt admonishing me about being a lesbian…just because I dribbled a basketball. I mean, for real…why not ask me first before you make an assumption, huh? That stressed ME out at an early age, and I’m heterosexual, so I can only imagine how it could bother & stress the hell out of someone from the LBGT community.

I watched a TV show where there was a debate among some members of the lesbian/gay community – the issue being: is being gay something that you’re born with, or is it something that you choose to be? I applied it to my thinking: I didn’t choose to be heterosexual; it’s just something that was instinctive to me. But I also believe that there are some people out there that choose to be heterosexual and I think it’s the same for homosexuals as well.

I have a cousin; he’s one of the sweetest kids & he’s about 9 years old. He has what some people would consider feminine tendencies, and he talks with a feminine-like voice. When he plays video games, he plays with the female characters, when he watches cartoons, he watches things like the Powerpuff Girls instead of G.I. Joe (I know I’m dating myself here…LOL), and he loves to dance and sing; he really doesn’t care for sports or any “BOY” stuff. When he grows up, he wants to be a chef (and he’s a great cook). I don’t think he has a clue about what being gay means, but some of our family members think that he’s going to be gay when he grows up because of these characteristics, and they are beginning to treat him awkwardly because of it. It pisses me off that they do this to him. If he is exposed to this; and he does become gay, isn’t that conditioning him to be that way? Isn’t that making him gay without his consent? I guess my point here is that it should be up to that person. Whether being homosexual from birth or whether they choose to be that way…it’s up to them. That’s supposed to be the beauty of living in this country…freedom to choose without being judged for living YOUR life. Tell me what you think! I welcome all opinions, thoughts, beliefs, etc., as long as they aren’t disrespectful…

Random Thoughts that Run Through My Head...

3. What can I do to my hair? I'm natural now...but I'm very tempted to relax it...
4. I could just kick that woman's ass for that kidnapping hoax...time that was wasted looking for you could've been spent on somebody that really needed the help.
5. I'm not even gonna touch the fact that she blamed it to 2 or 3 black men...

6. I think it's time...to pimp my ride...LOL! (Where's X-Hibit?)

14. I wonder how my life would be different if I went to another college.
15. Can somebody please beat the Lakers?(Come on Denver...) I seriously can't stand that lame Kobe Bryant. (yeah! I said it!)

I Miss You...Old Eddie Murphy!!!

I was driving on my way to work this morning...I couldn't find my glasses and was frustrated. I knew I was going to be late...basically I knew today was going to be terrible. When I turned to the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a comedian was doing a hilarious routine...the voice sounded familiar...but I couldn't place it. The routine was SOOOO funny. It made me feel better, then it dawned on me: It's Eddie Murphy!


Here's the two clips they played this morning:






Back in the day Eddie Murphy...not Daddy Day Care Eddie Murphy...now don't get me wrong, I KNOW he is a genius...and I love all of his work (even Pluto Nash...not Meet Dave though), but I miss his movies & stand-up routines like Raw, Delirious, Trading Places, Coming to America, Boomerang, etc. Eddie...come back! I miss you! I know you gotta do stuff for the kids...But PLEASE INDULGE US GROWN FOLKS!

I'm a fan of Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Chris Rock, etc., and they are funny...but can they really touch Eddie? Let me know what you think while you're laughing at the videos....Ciao!

25 Random Things About Me...

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.


Normally, I don’t do these…but I read everyone else’s list. So, I’m gonna do one too…Don’t laugh…

1. My favorite color is blue…I don’t care what shade of blue…it can sky blue, aqua blue, or midnight blue…just as long as it’s blue…

2. I hate when people ask me where I’m going. If I wanted you to know, I WOULD TELL YOU!!!!

3. I am scared that I won’t be able to have children. Why? Because I’m absolutely crazy about them. It’s usually the people that really, really want kids can’t have them and a lady or couple that don’t want kids and/or mistreat/abuse them will have a lot. Ironic, isn’t it?

4. I’m terrified that I will die early in life, and while I am sleep. For that reason, I hate going to sleep (I’m usually up until 3-4am) and I try to get the least amount of sleep as possible.

5. I hate medication. I think that it’s a way for other people to control you; it dulls your senses & makes you into a walking, talking, but catatonic zombie. I also think it’s a cop-out for doctors (they get you in and out of the office ASAP to increase the number of patients they see and make more money; plus I think they get kick-backs from pharmaceutical companies). If doctors took the time to really talk to you, they could find an alternative way to treat you, unless it was absolutely imperative to give you medicine.

6. I am a conspiracy theorist…didn’t you read #5! I think the government is behind a lot of things that are wrong. If you get the time, ask me about AIDS in the USA and 9/11.

7. I am THE MICHAEL JACKSON FAN. I know all of his songs, I know the dance moves. I am praying he goes on tour so that I can go…FRONT ROW! But if I had kids, I will confess that I would never let him babysit…

8. I’m starting to think that I need new friends. I feel like I don’t have a lot in common with them anymore. Plus, every time they have a problem, they call me, I listen and offer solutions and try to help as best I can. But when I need someone to listen to, they ain’t trying to hear anything I have to say…so I really don’t talk to them anymore.

9. I’m really hard on myself. I’m my harshest critic.

10. When I was younger, I used to eat cigarettes (Salem, Newports & Pall Mall). My father jokes that it stunted my growth…if I didn’t eat them, I’d be at least 6’3 instead of just 5’10…lol…

11. I hate stupid people…they kill me with their stupidity. They’re really good too. You won’t know they’re stupid until you’re good into a conversation with them…then you’re like DAMN! I just wasted time talking to this stupid (insert cuss word here). I think if people had stickers letting us know what we are dealing with…the world would be a better place.

12. I love going to the movies. I have to be there to see the previews, that way; I can make a mental note about the movies that I’ll see in the future. If I don’t see the previews, I don’t want to watch the movie.

13. 2008 was the worst year that I’ve ever had. 2009 will be better…I’m sure of it!

14. It took me a long time to find what I want to do with my life…but I’ve finally figured it out. I want to own my magazine and freelance writing (articles, screenplays and songs). My backup plan is to be a teacher.

15. I’m so glad that I didn’t become a lawyer or a doctor.

16. I have an ongoing fantasy that I’m the lead singer of an all-girl band. Kind of like a female EWF or Maze ft. Frankie Beverly. (You thought it was going to be nasty didn’t you?)

17. I love music – all genres. You can look at my MP3 player and see music ranging from Tupac to Steeley Dan. (yeah – look it up, they’re good)

18. I’m still salty about those Negroes that stole my car. Now I have to pay for car repairs (the damages are below my deductible so I have to pay out of pocket) because these fools want to steal. If I see them around my car again, I’ll be sending another note asking for bail money because I shot those fools.

19. I can read and play music (4 instruments), but I want to learn other instruments: mainly the drums, trumpet, trombone, bass, flute and the alto saxophone).

20. I break stuff. I don’t mean to do it on purpose; I just don’t know my own strength. When I do break stuff, I try to fix it ASAP so my brothers don’t make fun of me. They call me the BEAST…lol…

21. I need to lose weight, but I have no motivation. I wanted to go on the Biggest Loser because I think I would do well, but I have no desire to be on national TV with a sports bra and biker shorts…

22. I should’ve taken sports more seriously in high school so that I could’ve received a sports scholarship. I just got burned out (thanks Kenan). I see some women on the court and I like damn! I could kill them in the paint.

23. I have a serious crush on Q-Tip. It may sound weird (and I don’t give a damn what you think), but he is so sexy…totally not what I usually go or in a guy. I saw him in concert last summer and I was so in love…

24. I hate repeating myself to people that I know UNDERSTAND me. What I’m saying to you isn’t going to change…it’s just going to piss me off and make me cuss you out.

25. I’m crazy about my brothers…despite the fact that they drive me crazy, I’m still crazy about them, and will cut anyone that tries to do them harm. Ask some females out there about me that have tried to start some drama with Dean! LOL! I’m so good at it that others have asked to be their Big Sis for this very same reason.

Funny...

Here's a funny clip of Barack Obama:



It just lets me know that he is a regular dude, and he can relate to anyone...LOL at when he tells the worker in the restaurant "Nah...We straight..." HILARIOUS!!!!
