Are We Crazy By Nature?!

Some people may get on me about this...but if [YOU] become offended, it's probably because you fit the description of crazy. Sorry...I heard the realest answer from my brother this past week. (shout-out)...talking about female and male issues, I asked him in a fit of frustration:

I said: "WHY DO MEN ACT SILLY?!"

then he said: "Because y'all like it."

Wow. Isn't that the truth?? I told my homie that the only reason I can talk about females is because I have accepted my female irrationality and am working on a way to NEUTRALIZE that sucker like a relaxer baby. So my brother stated a fact: that every girl has a "little crazy" in them, so I then questioned whether or not we are crazy by nature or if [crazy] is experienced and then takes off from there. Is our irrationality implanted in us?? I concluded (somewhat) that it is natural for us to be attention driven early on, and control issues are apart of this. Not excluding men, because I will touch on y'all...

Here's the gift and the curse: Females are something like the "eyes" in life -- the good: our nurturing instincts come in handy in many ways. The bad -- our hands are in everything: gossip, girls, guys, life, work, etc. We express our frustration outwardly because it is expected and accepted for us to be unstable creatures. In certain situations, however, that expression may go awry; for example when unstable creatures place their hands on men. Like a zebra playing with a sleeping lion - no bueno baby. 

It's simple - Men are Math (THERE IS ALWAYS 1 ANSWER) and Women are English (OPEN ENDED ALL THE TIME)

In conclusion, I am still in the process of balancing my rational and irrational by nature characteristics but for now, I love being a girl because it gives a reason to be psycho...or do I? To the females, how do y'all balance your female [crazy] and your rational?

[You and that @*$&#! Mouth]

I didn't even write any randoms about myself smh...well this is one of those update blogs. Umm...lets see, three different people asked me my opinion about the "B" word; no, not Beyonce, but the other "B" word. It's got a few connotations attached on to it, none of which are acceptable. I believe the word is losing the power it once had however. Then again, words only possess the amount of power we put into it. Just like how it's acceptable for me to greet friends in calling them birds, hoe, whore, slut, ducks, freaky girls (lol) and so on. Eventually we become numb to words that our ears were once sensitive to because we are surrounded by it daily. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is: What is your favorite and least favorite "colorful" word?

Russ x Child Support

Child support...So there have been numerous reports where Simmons has been ordered to pay a cool $40,000/month in child support payments. Simmons responded:

"Nothing was ordered. My children have a fabulous life, they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I am very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don't have it, I'm coming to live with them."

Why are there so many child support cases and so much speculation about what the parent is doing with the money? Why aren't these funds set aside for future needs? Yeah, the questions go on and on about the financial aspect of child support...I leave here saying, do not forget that there is nothing more important than giving you child the lasting memory of life, which does not cost much except for time.

Mission: impossible??

Can men and women truly be friends who are attractive, without establishing the brother/sister relationship or being diagnosed with the best friend syndrome??

Brother/sister relationships are defined when each party deems each other as a family member to publicly confirm the relationship is purely non-sexual. This border shouldn't be crossed, I mean incest is kinda gross don't you agree? There are those cases of "kissin cousins"--okay, nvm. This is an exchange of limited range conversation; how else would you view your little sister/brother?

The best friend syndrome is when a male and female designate each other as bffs, automatically thrown in to the "friend zone". These conversations are those that you wouldn't normally share with the opposite sex like cramps or the last time you "got some". Your problems and issues are on the table and the person reciprocates with advice and a shoulder (aw) Basically, this is exchange of TMI.

My question is, can two people of the opposite sex, who are generally attractive truly be friends without establishing the family tie and bff sickness? Clearly this question has the ability to be answered, but not without the conditional add-ins.

who is your Tenzing Norgay?

Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first to climb Mount Everest in 1953. When they reached the top, Hillary went ahead so Norgay was technically "second" to set his feet atop the summit. Norgay stressed the unity of teams and basically was that helping hand that Hillary used to reach the top. Now, the real importance of the story is that Tenzing was that quality friend that came through in the time of need. So in your time of need, who was that person or people who are there for you? Maybe they hit you with a "it'll be okay" or a hug, a smile, words of kindnesss, a hand, a speech of encouragement or even just their presence...

who is your Tenzing Norgay??

Dear John/Jane

Dear [____],

You smell worst than sections 8, 9, and 10. I can't believe Ms. Johnson sat us together and that you had the audacity to write me a "Do You Like Me? Check Box YES or YES" note. Good luck with finishing this year as a 3rd year 4th grader.

                              Love, Bilaji (see picture above)

If you were to write a letter to someone or something with thoughts that you wanted to share, what would it say? Sometimes writing can help express how you feel better then face to face communication. Whether this letter be to your first love, hobby, friend, ex, family, it gives you the chance to spill your thoughts of ANY emotion. So what does your Dear John/Jane read?

Scandal Review x Drake

I know I'm late but I had to let this marinate...Finally [stole] Drake's mixtape and I was going to do a track by track review but thats subjective to the listener. We've been holding our breath for So Far Gone for far too long and it dropped late last week. Point. Blank. Drake is posing a threat to the game, not just the rap game but he's on his r&b ish as well. Personally I was surpised by 2 things: the number of track Mr. Graham sang on and the guest appearances. Wayne, if you're reading this, you never cease to amaze me. And who knew Omarion would shut it down on 'Bria's Interlude'?? I'm a sucker for fillers and it's going to stay that way. 

Bottom line: Drake has progressed, So Far Gone is smooth. Its fluid and sexes its way up and down the musical slopes of creativity. There's a song for everyone on this mixtape, clearly. Oh yea, album the art is the truth. Simple and elegant.

Those Darn Dreams

You ever wondered the significance of a dream you had? Like the famous falling dream, where a 1/2 second before you hit the ground face first, you wake up all sweaty, heart rate pumping and gasping for breath? Well I've had two dreams where someone was after me, testing my gangster and I'm not sure if it just meant I should cool out or if I am internally frustrated. It wasn't until the third dream when I finally diagnosed myself with this internal frustration. The first two dreams were wild--not 'Girls Gone'-but just non-sensical. The third dream was just silly but it was more profound than you may think.

[3rd Dream] It was Saturday morning and I was hungry. Odd, nobody is here to eat food with me or watch Saturday morning cartoons, what was odder was that I didn't have dance rehearsal. So amidst the sketchyness, I made pancakes...as I looked in the cabinet, there was no syrup. You can't imagine my frustration with this because then I had to settle for dish soap atop my pancakes. DISH SOAP?! yeah, and it tasted like NuVo. 

In short, the series of dreams helped me realize that I was frustrated, I was settling, I have yet to confront an issue head on, and that even in my dreams, the taste of NuVo haunts my buds. You think it's silly, but it's not.

5. "There are plenty of other fish in the sea" - There are Japanese harpoonists as well...
6. "I think we should see other people" - Look, I've been seeing this other chick/dude for the past 3 weeks and its going really well and you're tying me down. You'll find someone, you're bound to.
7. "I'ma call you later" - You are wasting my anytime minutes and I most likely WON'T call you back
8. "I don't normally do this" - Yeah, I do, and I pride myself on these abilities in doing so

Random Facts Volume 1

So since the Facebook chain note "25 Random Facts about [ME]" is floating around hardbody, I figured I'd list some randoms about myself so you can know me, randomly...not better, because you won't, but randomly. Thanks.

1. The other day I stopped and thought about the way people drink coffee. Have you ever seen someone drink a cup of coffee and if it is good coffee, they just stare at the cup like it's going to reveal some mystical good coffee power that will allow that particular coffee drinker to re-live that 1st sip moment again and again??
2. I'm double jointed...in my hands, I also suffer from Hyperhidrosis (it was a bonus)
3. My mother and I went to the Dollar General once and did a price check on a broom
4. Once, I put red crayons in a washer of whites at the laundromat
5. If I like you, I'll tell you a few lies

A Figment of Our Romanticized Imagination?

Is "The One" a figment of our romanticized imaginations? Do you believe in "soul mates"??

If a relationship is what we make it, why do people stress over having that soul mate fate? "*sigh* we were destined to be together". To each his own, but this is according to [me]. I feel like "the One" is something that develops from a raw like into a greater love. Because we fall in and out of love, there will most likely be 4 to 5 "the One's" in our lifetime, it's just up to us to make it happen and to decipher what category that person falls under. Are they "the One" for a SEASON, a REASON or for a LIFETIME?

Ode to Valentines Day

Mood: IDK, music isn't satisfying my appetite right now, its like I'm hungry but they only have fried okra nuggets at the musical cafeteria. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places...to the mixtape section we go. 

This post is my ode to Valentines Day. Oh and Sir Cupid, I peeped you on top of my building with your Uzi Bow and Arrow, too bad you hit that bird standing next to me waiting for the bus. Nah kid, I got my heart removed back in '03 along with my tear ducts. Ok ok ok, that parts just 4% true...I was stressed over what to write about V-day, I'll admit it...smh all along I had my Valentine sitting there on the other couch looking at me, non-verbally inspiring me to stop stressing over what to write. So to all those who have Valentines that aren't family, not forced, and knowledgeable, congrats, don't break those pockets (even my mom got a joint). To all those hoes that are depressed, relax, it's impossible to deem 1 day out of the year as the day to determine whether or not you can find love. To those who have a Valentine but you're not theirs, I'll willingly be your Valentine. Here's a gift I received from the wife that I want to give to you all...a kiss (or 2), a Laugh (from Josh Days) and some Chocolate.

scandalous...

The Pro Hang-Up

It never fails, there will always be that one person that will hit you up randomly and as soon as their name finds its way across your screen, you let aloud a sigh, growl or even a yell of fury. This is that call that makes everything go down the drain. Your day is going great until this person hits you up; for what? who knows? who cares? Unfortunately, I can't stop these people from calling...unless--nah, nevermind, that involves a shovel. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about anything, I don't focus on those ways, I'm more about an effective way.

The call: This is for the nice people...personally, I don't believe in hanging up for the simple fact that it's rude. Say you're chillin with some friends, even boo luvin, maybe even having some time alone and the phone vibrates. Not the regular vibration, but that vibration that makes your skin crawl UGH, it makes you say "WHY?!". Pressing IGNORE initially will not only prompt another call, but also gives that person a reason to hit you via text.  So pick up the phone, trust me, start talking and carry on a normal convo even though you'd rather shove a sharp object in your left eye then speak to them. Keep talking and hang up on yourself mid-sentence. It's called the "Pro Hang Up". You don't have to give an explanation as to why you hung up on yourself. It works perfectly and guilt-free, like low fat brownies...After the Pro Hang-Up, pressing Ignore is a breeze.

Be rude as you wanna be!!

Club Coke

It's not Henny and Coke but its just as good, if not better. Recently I was put on to this French duo, Justice by my friends over at Fame's Allure...Please go check them out at Fame's Allure. Is it just me, or is it anytime your horizons are broadened, that new found subject is just any and everywhere?? (Thanks Bobby!) Well, just so happens that Coca-Cola is hosting a party at Club Coke to uncover a new glow in the dark bottle design in conjunction with Justice and designer/video director So_Me (Ed Banger Records). The Coke party is tonight in Paris if you're interested; Justice will be holding a special DJ session 'round Midnight. I think this is too fly...

Dancing With These Stars?

This just in--the next season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars, which primieres March 9th, 2009 will feature some familiar faces as always, just faces that don't necessarily go hand in hand with dancing. DWTS upcoming cast includes: Jewel, Steve-O (whhaaat), David Alan Grier, and *drum roll please*...Notorious K.I.M.  How do you think this will turn out???

Good--maybe even great at what they do, idk if Ms. Jewel (ZzzZzZ), Steve (Jacka**), Dave (In Living Color) and Kim (Ms. White if you're nasty) have any business dancing. I just hope the proceeds go to a worthy cause. Let us pray...

Fairytale Slippers

Life isn't always what we want it to be...so here's my youtube friend explaining how Disney has corrupted our outlook on life and its "fairytale slippers"....enjoy

Those Darn Grammys

 

I've got 4 things to say about this years Grammy's.

1. Ri-Ri got the new Smokey Eye but it ain't MAC
   
2. "Swagger Like Us" performance
3. MIA's WTFrick get up + unborn child making its first musical appearance on stage
4. T.I. and all his duets before his "trip"

Let's elaborate...

While watching the Grammy's I received word--these words to be exact: "I heard Chris Brown put the beats on Rihanna because she gave him herpes man"...wow. As for comments, Brown declined and Ri's publicist stated she was involved in a "traffic mishap" and is "fine". Do you believe that?? Neither do I. So here's a clean version: Police said Brown and Rihanna became involved in an argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman (we know its you boo) got out and the argument escalated. The woman (smh) suffered visable injuries and ID'ed Brown as the attacker. Ri decided not to perform "Disturbia" and "Live Your Life" (with guess who? T.I.!!) at tonights Grammy's. Likewise, Chris declined on his scheduled "Forever" performance.

Nasty version: So Chris and Rihanna were beefing reportedly about how he was given Herpes which resulted in him giving her a black eye. Sources say there's a warrant out for Brown's arrest and neither star will be performing (clearly)...you heard it here firs--well, later.

In other news, "Swagger Like Us" was well done. Smooth, very film noir with the black + white, aside from the fact that a particular occurrence made me HATE the song, I liked the performance.  1 word - Classic.

Okay, no comment on the dress. Moving on, maybe I'm crazy but if my child was due the day of the Grammy's, I'd be sitting up in my bed waiting to drop it like its hot man. She needs rest...then again, maybe a "back-stage baby" would be an interesting story to tell. I've discovered the method to MIA's madness.

T.I. is MAKING SURE we see his face before his hiatus even if that means popping out on about 6 or 7 songs...do you friend, do you.

*BONUS* My love for Wayne is undying. 

Blogger V-Card

Okay, so this is my sharing with the world that my v-card for blogging has officially been taken. 

I'm just a girl in the world who felt like blogging my scattered thoughts and random riots, and from time to time it will most likely be 46% non-sense and the rest in all seriousness. I'm here as daily entertainment for questions that make you say "hmm" and video posting that will make you say "where did she find this from?". Thus my goal is to purely entertain in the wildest ways because the mind is nonstop and mine goes 500 over the speed limit.

Feel free to comment or read but don't expect too much, so then I can surprise you while you stop by...Thanks for dropping in, let the nonsense begin...
