I always have SOMETHING up my sleeve.
You can't expect me not to!
Before I go into that, let me first say this....I AM still going to do Pink Dots. TRUST ME, the flame for that has NOT burned out at all. I'm actually going to be taking a photojournalism course this August as well as a photoshop class. I KNOW that I launched the site somewhat prematurely but call me anxious...I did all that before really LEARNING about the craft. Anyone who knows even a small bit about me knows that I DO NOT like half assing on anything. Therefore, I'm not going to load pictures that aren't up to par! I refuse to. So until I get the equipment I want (lenses and everything else is EXPENSIVE), it will remain under construction...at LEAST until the fall! If you aren't sure what site I'm referring to, its my photography site called Pink Dots! Although not up yet, feel free to bookmark it and check it out! I will say that I can't wait.
Nonetheless, as previously stated, I always have something up my sleeve...and anytime I'm ready to pull it out, I am always trying to think of the most COST EFFECTIVE way to start it. Sometimes, those can make the best ventures. Although not extremely profitable, they can still assist to some degree.
I had been toying around with some type of editing business for a while. I have a ton of friends (and even RANDOM people) hitting me up ALL THE TIME, asking me to edit their webpages/blogs, go over their resume/cover letter, read their book/manuscript, help them with graduation or wedding speeches, college papers, etc. I think that it's b/c as I've said before, errors do not slip by me. I may type something out MYSELF and have an error in there but as soon as I do the read through (I do not read as I'm typing), it "pops" out without me having to look for it. So I've decided to do something to help others with their editing. If it's a service that you think that you could benefit from, definitely check out the website once it's completed. I will do the layout for the site today (on paper) and my webdesigner will do the magic! I'm super hands-on so I couldn't imagine just throwing it all in his hands and saying "Do It!" LOL! The name of the company is Write Way To Go and although the site is NOT up yet, you'll get the idea once it is! Again, I know that it's not something that will make me rich and quite frankly, that's not what I seek. However, I noticed that I was offering this service to quite a few people, both individuals AND larger groups, with absolutely no compensation. However, my time was involved and while I would love to be on some We Are the World, We Are the Children type stuff, I must say that time IS money.
If you or anyone you know can benefit from an editing service, feel free to hit me up about it. I will have a full list of services available by NO LATER than the end of the week. On the flipside, if it's not your "thing," no need to tell me about it. As previously stated, the idea is not to get rich b/c I think that it'd be impossible. I will, however, utilize my know-how to assist those that may not "know."
HOLLA!

PS: I'm pretty sure that you're wondering how I plan on handling all this PLUS school. Not to worry, my friends. Trust me when I say that editing comes easy for me. My eyes automatically gravitate towards the 'wrongs' and I'm usually done within a few minutes, depending on the items' length. Obviously for things such as short stories and manuscripts, I'd need time but again, these things will all be discussed on the actual website! Ciao Bella!

Had to Post This
I'm not a fan of posting lyrics b/c lets face it...most lyrics these days are either extremely repetitive, over thought or just simply not that great!
However, being a HUGE fan of T.I. and ALL of his greatness, I felt compelled to post part of the lyrics to his latest hit, No Matter What!
He has truly come full circle. This song sort of makes me sad that he might be facing jailtime. DO NOT GET ME WRONG....you do the dirt, you do the time. That's just the way it is. I do NOT support anything that violates someone's parole. But hell, at least he wasn't pulling an R. Kelly and touching on little girls! I just wanted to share these with you b/c those FEW lines truly helped me to see 'something.' Hopefully you'll appreciate them too!
All you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic
Use it to your advantage, Avoid insanity
Manage to conquer every obstacle, make impossible possible
Even when winnings illogical, losing is still far from optional
Away Indefinitely
It's amazing how you can be 'aight' one second and then suddenly, you get some information that makes you say "Damn, that truly fucked up my joy?"
Either or, I hate getting "bad" news, as I'm sure everyone else does...I'm really really aggravated right now b/c I've had to reposition myself and plans based on this ONE thing. And now the shits fallen through.
I don't post these things for pity...no need for it b/c as with anything else in life, you gotta keep it moving.
I'm just thoroughly aggravated...so much so that I MIGHT (not 100% sure on it yet) not go to school until January.
My parents are going to be pissed...and I KNOW that I have to do what's best for me but SHIT!
We'll see. Nonetheless, if I don't answer your messages for a while, trust me, it's nothing personal.
I'm just taking some time out to figure out HOW I'm going to work this "situation" out...HOPEFULLY before it's time for me to start school in August. I clearly THOUGHT I had everything set to go and now this.
OMG I am so frustrated......

The Ideology of Bitches
I swear....people get on my LAST nerve.
I don't get the whole "ask people for advice then get mad when they give you a dose of reality" mentality.
There have been several times when folks have given me advice that I was NOT too keen on..but I dont lash out on people b/c of it.
I have a "friend" who is always hyper-extending himself for other people. But when he does and they shit on him, his feelings get hurt. OR when he does stuff for them, he ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS finds a way to throw it back in their face.
My question is...why bother? Why bother to do things for people if at the end of the day, you're not going to do anything BUT complain about it? Now let me correct myself...I am in NO way saying that you should not do for your fellow mankind. What I am saying is that if you're going to put yourself in the position to HELP, dont sit up and bitch about it. Play your position and keep the shit breezing.
Further, why call yourself lending a helping hand to folks if you're only going to mumble under your breath that your little feelings are hurt b/c they didnt respond in the way that you wanted them to?
Listen, I am all for helping folks out when they need, if at all. I really am. I have done a ton of shit for people in the past and never once will you hear me mention it to them OR out loud to anyone else. Why? I dont believe in doing that. If I do something for you, its simply b/c I felt like it should be done...PERIOD. If I put my neck on the chopping block to appease YOU, its b/c I think that you could benefit from it. Its not b/c I want some accolades from God almighty or anyone else. Im doing it b/c its within my realm of possibility. Im doing it b/c it was put in my heart to do it. But no matter what...even if you turn around and dog me out about that or ANYTHING else, I will NEVER retaliate by throwing it back in your face.
But people who do for others then complain about doing it just irk me like no other. Thats like...if you go out and donate blood...but complain about it being too long of a process, or saying that the needle prick hurt...or saying that you really DONT want to do it...but you do it anyway and COMPLAIN!
NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THAT BULLSHIT!
I get so tired of bitches...and by bitches, I mean PEOPLE in general b/c its been proven that MEN can be bitches too!
Stop walking around here, acting like you're big shit...hyper-extending yourself for everybody and their mama...but then when someone takes you out to the wash and uses you all up to be damned, you complain about it like you didnt see that shit coming. Stop acting like you're just "returning blessings b/c you've been blessed" b/c its BULLSHIT when you do it and then literally cry about what you've done.
When you do for people, you do it b/c you want to...not b/c of any expectations in the end.
When you come to ME complaining about what you've done for this chick or that, worrying about being walked all over and I REMIND you of what YOU said, dont even THINK about getting mad at me b/c I reminded YOUR ass of shit that came straight from your own mouth.
What the hell kinda fuckery is that? Seriously.....
IMO, its bitch like...period. Point blank. DOT COM!
If you're going to do for folks, STOP BEING A BITCH AND JUST DO IT! But when I REMIND you of when and why you said you would NOT do it again, DONT GET MAD AT ME. I aint the one.....

Obama, the TERRORIST
I am writing this letter for obvious reasons but in case you're a little absent minded (which I wouldn't be totally surprised if you were), let me offer a bit of reasoning.
Once Barack Obama won the democratic nod, he and his beautiful wife, Michelle, took the stage. They embraced each other and offered a gesture where they "bumped" fists. In the black community, this is commonly referred to as giving a person "dap."
After this gesture was witnessed around the world, you offered commentary, questioning whether or not it was a 'terrorist fist jab."
And this, my friend, is when all hell breaks loose.
As an American, as a HUMAN, you're entitled to believe whatever you want to believe. Your opinions may or may not be warranted, but they're opinions all the same. No one has the right to tell you that you're not entitled to those opinions. However, when those very opinions have the ability to insight mass chaos and leave the world wondering if a Black man in office could cause terroristic issues, then not only have you shown pure bred idiocy but you've also shown that you're highly irresponsible in your commentary and should leave that to those who are able to reason, use logic and apply every bit of it to each word that comes out of their mouth.
Since you're working for Fox News, I'm not a bit surprised of the opinions that you share. The "journalists" and commentators at FN are known for having insanely radical views and have no issues in adding a hint of racism at every turn. And while this may be the case, that still does not give you or anyone else the right to use such a large media outlet to implant the seed that our next president could indeed be bumping shoulders with the likes of Osama bin Laden.
One thing I will say is that in the black community, we have experienced so much. We've gone through slavery, being told we can't vote, having our family and our lives ripped away from us at the seam...to help your ancestors build this country. We've been raped, murdered, ostracized, neglected, abused, overlooked, underpaid and anything else deemed necessary to keep us 'in our place.' In the process of it all, we HAVE learned to maintain while keeping a smile on our face and still rising above all that's been dished to us. Additionally, we've come up with ways to express our sentiments towards one another...ways that I don't expect YOU or any other commentator at Fox to understand. But because you lack a general sense of understanding doesn't mean that you should apply your own meaning to what we do. Rather than accepting or at the very least ACKNOWLEDGING that this is indeed history in the making, you and several other political enthusiasts would rather overanalyze something that the black community (and others who have paid attention) knew about all along. It's really not as serious as some of you would like to make it.
I digress....
You have given a new meaning to the old saying "putting your foot in your mouth." Maybe next time, we should try something a bit more permanent. Afterall, black people ARE terrorists, right?

My Day
So today, I check my email. The professor for my Crime & Delinquency class sent a message to me stating that I did an 'excellent job' on the assignment and that I got an A! I was super crunk about that, especially considering how last week, I got a B+ on an assignment. I was not happy about that at all but I also knew that it was my fault. I really didn't do everything that I was suppose to do to earn an A (meaning I didnt read the chapter in its entirety, I rushed through the work, waited until the last minute to do the work, etc.). I deserved that B. But I feel that I redeemed myself and got an A this week! Very crunk....Woot woot!
Now, on to other stuff. I got a text message yesterday from a friend who wanted me to go to this 'gathering' with her. I spent the majority of my weekend laid up in the bed, watching TV and going over some homework that's due this coming Friday...but I figured that Id go and at least show my face really quick so that I wouldnt appear to be a TOTAL hermit. I threw on some jeans and a baby tee and headed out for a VERY brief second.
What's funny is I get there and there are a few people there that I recognize from various Myspace pages but the FUNNIEST thing is...I saw two girls there who I do not care much for...who have been behind some crazy drama involving my name online and didnt think that I knew about it. Well guess what...I did. And its so funny to me how people have a LOT of shit to talk via Windows Media Maker and behind screen names on Myspace and other messageboards but yet...they get the opportunity to say something to me, LIVE & DIRECT...but instead spend their time huddled in a corner, sweating like they have gas or something. I am in no way implying that Im some sort of Billy Bad ass. But the only thing that I AM implying is that if you're going to be bad ass against ME, talking shit at every corner, thinking that you're hurting my feelings or 'blasting me' but yet you cant express these same sentiments to my face, knowing good and hell well what YOU did, then you dont mean shit....period. One of my favorite things to say is...I dont NEED cosigners. I walk alone in my thoughts for a reason b/c when shit hits the fan, the majority of the people who you TRY and drag into your mess end up looking stupid b/c they speak out of line and have no clue what in the hell they're talking about. Why should they...the drama doesnt involve them. But Ive noticed that in this ONE incident where this broad tried me and got her face cracked ten fold, she chose to drag other people in it...so these people, in HER defense, talk an immense amount of shit behind a computer screen...not knowing what they're talking about, not knowing what spawned my actions against her, not knowing what SHE did first...but yet they speak as though they're the authority...just leading the way in a "We-Hate-Jia" campaign. LOL! And then I see you out with at least one of the girls thats assisting you in your online efforts and neither of you say anything?
Yea, God is really looking out for me. I think that He truly IS making an effort to at least get me to 'do right,' b/c had this been say...I dunno...about a year to almost two years ago, I probably would've gotten toted off by Dekalb County police. I have a bad temper...and I have worked very hard on it. It takes a LOT for me to "just let it go." I am usually so mouthy about things but over the past several months, I have made an effort to change that b/c for one, cowards dont deserve an extreme amount of acknowledgment...two, I found that it just gets me nowhere but into a more angry state...and three, there's no point in fighting a battle where Im trying to disprove someone elses bullshit...ESPECIALLY when they refuse to acknowledge their own.
A while back, I had some vids on the 'tube where I basically blasted this guy that I went out with...I had our phone conversation posted and dogged him out. Because I DID feel remorse (even though dude was really full of it), I deleted it and said that I would not go online and put someones business in the streets like that again. I might tell a story about some twisted shit that popped off, but never again will you see me posting pictures, calling names, or trying to run another persons mess in the mud. At the end of the day, most people who peruse my sites dont know who the hell Im talking about...so why do it?
I digress...I'll let people do what they do and I'll just do me. I still have a LONG way to go but Im very happy with my own progress, even if no one else is. You can call me whatever names you'd like, believe anything you hear about me and hell...I even give you permission to spread it. But Im still gonna smile b/c Im 100% content with me...and thats all that matters.
PS: Thanks to my parents for reminding me!

I'm not sure if I should give this kid an Oscar or get him a doctor's appointment with the quickness...
Either or, this is HILARIOUS!!!

Open Letter to Supahead
Dear Supahead,
Perusing various gossip websites today, I saw where several reported that you sent a text message (to Perez Hilton) pleading for help after allegedly suffering from abuse at the hands of Darius McCrary, bka Eddie Winslow from the hit TV show, Family Matters.
Now, just in case you forgot WHICH plea Im writing about, lets recap:
Before you get to rolling your eyes and sucking your teeth, let me first point out that I was one of the few who actually gave you props for blasting these ho-ass entertainers for stepping out on their wives and girlfriends with you. I applauded your strength in saying what you had to say (and providing many of us a decent read in your first attempt at writing). A lot of people dogged you out about what you did...and although I dont necessarily agree with kissing and telling (especially when you're aiding in the deceit), I do believe that when a person is doing wrong by their lover, they deserve to be OUTTED.
With that being said, after reading your plea, it makes me question your motives. You see, the whole "selling point" of your book (besides the gritty details and naming of names) was that you wanted to let other young girls know that they did not have to choose your lifestyle, that you made the decisions that you made out of a desire to get ahead...you saw that the plan faltered and realized the error of your ways. Your book was tell-tale model on how NOT to conduct yourself and you even advised your readers not to take the route that you did. Convincing the world (and OPRAH) that you had changed your ways, most of the world became prepared to believe you.
Then you released part II of your 'confessions'...and the quick read let your audience know that, beyond the shadow of a DOUBT, you had not changed at all. All of the talk about changing was simply a farce created by you and your marketing team to sell more books. I was sorely disappointed at the new read but I digress...why should I expect you to be an extremely gifted writer anyway.
But none of the aforementioned is the purpose for my letter today. I am writing you b/c I think that you're stupid.
There...I said it. You really do play yourself at all costs..and when the shit hits the fan, you holla "foul" or play victim.
After convincing everyone on how much you've changed and seemingly taking a stance in the right direction to further support those efforts, you slowly but surely let your weakness show. In one interview, you're raving about how great of a man McCrary is, how he is a "really good friend." But in the text message you sent Perez, you're typing what HAD to be at LEAST two pages of texts on how this man has gone upside your head...not once...but for MONTHS. And you stayed. For what? Dont get me wrong...I would never make light of domestic situations and feel that abuse is NOT something to joke about or make light of. However, I take a real issue with a woman who's attempting to lead a flock by one tablet, but governing her own life by a tablet thats totally different. You tell girls not to follow the same path that you have but there are several reports (and radio interviews) where you admitted to continuing on with some of your former ways...still ranting and raving on any media outlet you can about how this person or that one is foul but YOU slept with them. Here you are...wearing this Superwoman uniform, pretending that its made of armor but the tag reads 100% cotton....extremely weak if I must say so myself.
Im not sure what point you were trying to prove....if any at all. The only thing I can tell you is...seek help. Seriously. I highly doubt you'll find refuge in simply writing about change yet making absolutely no efforts towards any.
Peace
Perusing various gossip websites today, I saw where several reported that you sent a text message (to Perez Hilton) pleading for help after allegedly suffering from abuse at the hands of Darius McCrary, bka Eddie Winslow from the hit TV show, Family Matters.
Now, just in case you forgot WHICH plea Im writing about, lets recap:
Before you get to rolling your eyes and sucking your teeth, let me first point out that I was one of the few who actually gave you props for blasting these ho-ass entertainers for stepping out on their wives and girlfriends with you. I applauded your strength in saying what you had to say (and providing many of us a decent read in your first attempt at writing). A lot of people dogged you out about what you did...and although I dont necessarily agree with kissing and telling (especially when you're aiding in the deceit), I do believe that when a person is doing wrong by their lover, they deserve to be OUTTED.
With that being said, after reading your plea, it makes me question your motives. You see, the whole "selling point" of your book (besides the gritty details and naming of names) was that you wanted to let other young girls know that they did not have to choose your lifestyle, that you made the decisions that you made out of a desire to get ahead...you saw that the plan faltered and realized the error of your ways. Your book was tell-tale model on how NOT to conduct yourself and you even advised your readers not to take the route that you did. Convincing the world (and OPRAH) that you had changed your ways, most of the world became prepared to believe you.
Then you released part II of your 'confessions'...and the quick read let your audience know that, beyond the shadow of a DOUBT, you had not changed at all. All of the talk about changing was simply a farce created by you and your marketing team to sell more books. I was sorely disappointed at the new read but I digress...why should I expect you to be an extremely gifted writer anyway.
But none of the aforementioned is the purpose for my letter today. I am writing you b/c I think that you're stupid.
There...I said it. You really do play yourself at all costs..and when the shit hits the fan, you holla "foul" or play victim.

Procrastination
I know about my assignments weeks in advance
But since Ive started these classes, Ive consistently done the same thing every single week....
Turn in an assignment on Friday, receive the NEXT assignment, not even LOOK at the damn COVER of the book, wait until Thursday night, go over what the lesson SHOULD be and then RUSH to turn it in by Friday at 5pm.
I am almost afraid of how Im going to act once Im back in school with SEVERAL more classes that Im responsible for.
Even now, Im sitting here blogging, looking at MTV and thinking about shit that has NATHAN to do with this damn sociology assignment I have to turn in.
I swear I am the most unmotivated motivated person I know

So Attitudes are POSITIVE Now?
Oh Lord, here we go....
NOW I remember why it is that I don't add celebrities (or wanna be celebrities) to my Myspace page.
Sometimes, much like models, certain tv personalities and the like should simply be seen and not heard (outside of a script, that is).
No idea why this person is on my page...maybe it was an impulse thing but eh well. A deletion is in the horizon. I'm browsing bulletins and see several that say "Support this artist," "Add This person," etc. But one type of bulletin that always sticks out no matter what are bulletins that say "CHECK OUT MY BLOG!"
And I always fall for it....ALWAYS.
So I go to check out this blog entry and the whole thing reads like the autobiography of a 2nd grader. In this blog, this person is basically saying that the world (and beyond) is hating on her because she helped to make a certain TV show more entertaining, that she had it going on, was educated (even though I spotted SEVERAL grammatical errors throughout) and b/c she "managed to have a (stank) attitude" and still "landed on a TV show. This, my friends, serves as the reason why she deserves more accolades than those who shared the show with her.
Yea, you read it correctly...b/c this person managed to have a less than pleasant attitude/personality, this was the reason she received/receives so much hate.
I guess I missed the memo but...this is what we're giving rounds of applause for now?
Chile boo....the only benefit to having a stank attitude put on BLAST is that the world (including other business professionals) get to know why they should not bother dealing with you. Having your attitude put on blast does not boost ratings, it does not make you appear more intelligent and it surely doesnt allow you to be the "most hated"...at least not in the ways that you're thinking.
People slay me..they really do. I have a "friend of a friend" who was actually involved in the casting of this season of this particular reality show. He was ALWAYS texting me..."Jia, you really need to let me get you on here. It could mean big things for you."
Big things? Picture that madness.
It bothers me that people think that acting a pure bred monkey fool is what makes you the business. It not only speaks volumes of a persons' personality but it resonates like a Bose surround sound system on where your life is GOING. Anytime you feel that you're moving mountains like Usher b/c of your stank attitude and physical flaw, there's problems. People are not hating on you b/c you're just THAT bitch...they're HATING you b/c you appear to be A bitch. There is a huge difference.
Im just amazed at the things that people get excited about. I definitely respect any womans hustle...when you're able to go out into the world and grind like there's no tomorrow and manage to come out on top, you deserve a salute. But when all that "success" comes from peoples (correct) perception of you...a perception thats not so grand to speak of..and you STILL think you're on fire....I can't help BUT laugh.
And blog....
Sincerely,
Jia

How do you guys (who have it...be it bootleg or actually purchased) feel about Usher's album?
I took the time to actually listen to it all the way through a couple nights ago and I must say....if Ush was going to come back like this, he shoulda stayed his ass in daddy-land and left the music making for the young whipper snappers that are slowly but sure taking his place.
I have always been an Usher fan. When he released 8701, I just KNEW he solidified his place in this world as a bonafied star.
When Confessions came out, I was like "OMG Usher is so amazing."
Now this shit.....dont get me wrong, I love me some Love In This Club (Check out my PS when I get done ranting about Ush) but the rest of the album is truly not all that. If you're going to keep us waiting this long, you should have come back with something much harder than what you came with. But I digress. I was reading a friends blog where she mentioned not feeling the song "Moving Mountains." I will say that I like the LYRICS b/c I can most certainly relate.....but Usher is singing WAY out of his register on that song and Im willing to bet my left tit that when he attempts to sing this song LIVE (remember...LIVE is what makes the difference), trust that it WILL...without a DOUBT....sound like shit.
I remember a while back, Usher made a comment after hearing his critics go off on him, DOGGYSTLE, about his lack of ability to sing live....saying that he's always cracking, always going between pre recorded tracks and live....just sounding like boo boo.
His response (and Im SO paraphrasing)? "You try putting on the show that I put on and tell me how easy it is to always sing live."
My response? One word, two syllables (can you believe I MISSPELLED that word in my elementary school spelling bee? Everytime I have to spell it out, I get PISSED OFF)....anyway back to the one word...N'Sync.
Let me tell you something..I was a die hard NSync fan. Seriously...and once I found out that they ALWAYS sing live, while still pounding their fists to the sky talkin' 'bout some "Bye Bye Bye," all other artists became shit to me. IMO, dancing does not mean you can not sing live. Michael Jackson did...Prince did it...NSync did it. Why cant you?
Nonetheless, I am sorely disappointed with Usher's album. I couldnt be a hater b/c Im happy for anyone thats successful. And thats my word. But Im just upset with my Ben Vereen-esque friend. I had the biggest crush on him for so many damn years but he just blows now.....
Im fully prepared to accept the Usher fans and their attacks....haha!
Love,
Me
PS: (I told yall I had one....) I would say that I dont mean to offend. But I wouldnt be me if I didnt say it anyway.....
Love in This Club is not...and I repeat...is NOT a song that people should go ballistic with on Youtube. I have seen MANY MANY covers of this song on Youtube and with the exception of ONE person (dont worry....I wont reveal WHO), Everybody sounds like shit singing it. Its just not one of "those" songs. I hear mufuckas running out of breath on the "sippin' on" part.....I hear mufuckas messing up the RUNS in the song. I hear people TRY to make it their own and sound a HOT ass mess. Im sorry people but stop singing this damn song on Youtube b/c 99.9% of you DO NOT SOUND GOOD SINGING it.
Ah...I feel so much better now (Don't laugh, Momo)

Winding Down
Well, I just completed lesson three for my crime and delinquency class. I dont know if its that my focus has changed or if I REALLY find the topics we discuss to be interesting. I just know that doing the homework is always easy for me and Im so freakin' detailed that if she would ever give me a grade less than an A, Id seriously question "why?" lol Good times, good times...I hope that I keep this momentum going forward. By June 13th, I have to choose a book (be it one on her list or an approved one that I choose) to write a book report on. There is this interesting author by the name of Andrea Dworkin who writes a lot of books related to women and male supremacy and how it all ties into the sex industry. Of course Im going to choose HER as my focus but its just a matter of choosing which book to write on. Nonetheless, the paper has to be anywhere from 5 to 8 pages long. Cant say that I miss those at all LOL! But Im going to work it out as best as I can. I think that Im the queen of BSing enough to not only answer the question, but add a lil 'funk' into it so that I get a great grade. I took beginners sociology (cant remember whether UNC called it 101 or 100) and I had a student teacher who insisted on making us write, write, write. He always wrote a note on my papers saying "Nice detail...excellent job!" LOL Eh, maybe he meant "Too wordy, bitch....trim down some of this fat." LOL!
Anyway, I was sitting here thinking. I booked a UHaul to transport my things back to NC. But then I thought about it. About two weeks ago, I sold the couch and two single chairs that were in my living room, as well as the entertainment system and 36" television. Additionally, I sold the dining room table and chairs (I NEVER eat anywhere near the damn kitchen. My mom would beat my ass if I told her that I literally sit in my BEDROOM and eat whatever I want!). I did this b/c I didnt want to have to worry about storing anything when Im back at home. After thinking about it for a while, I think Im going to also sell my bedroom set and BIG screen TV before I go too. That'll make it hella easier for me b/c then, I will ONLY have my clothes/shoes and little things to transport..and those could EASILY go in the car. Saving money, honey...saving money. Its going to be 'weird' not having most of my things anymore but..by the time I get done with school, Im ALMOST certain that I will be headed to grad school somewhere..and I still wont need the furniture (I will definitely be in grad school housing). Besides, I think it'd be a nice "Good Job" gift to myself if I buy all new things. That being said..if you know anyone that wants to buy an urban contemporary bed with the matching night stand, tell them to holla at me. And even though Id hate to part with it, I think Im going to leave the TV up for grabs as well. An inexpensive way for someone to get a few trinkets for the crib.
I am REALLY buggin' out right now b/c I have not had sex in a WHOLE lotta weeks! LOL! I wouldnt say that Im one of those that goes through withdrawals if I dont have sex but I do love it. These dudes are just getting on my nerves. Im finding that I dont have nearly as much tolerance for things as I did even three months ago. Im not complaining though but it seems hard for 'them' to understand that. I have a funny story that I have to share on Youtube maybe later this week. Hopefully you guys will get a decent laugh from it.
Admittedly I have NOT written anything in my book for about three weeks. Between school, work, trying to get a lil fit-fit before school...I can say that I havent had time. Maybe its a project I should pick back up next summer, when I know that I will only be working part time and also just taking a class or two (or maybe three lol). I can honestly say that I dont feel bad about NOT doing anything with it either b/c you know what...I get tired of pushing myself OVER the top too often. It can be extremely stressful.
Can anybody believe that I have the TV on BET right now, watching ComicView? I swear, BET was that hotness a couple years ago...and now, even COMICVIEW is garbage.
Well Im off to bed. I have some mandatory things that I have to take care of at work tomorrow but I WILL be off on Sunday and Monday.
I hope that you guys have a great week.
PS: Usher, your ass still sucks. I saw your GMA performance. Retire already....

Shay "Buckeey" Johnson
I swear I do not understand some people....
With the wave of sex tapes sweeping through Hollywood (from both A and D list celebrities), it seems that most would learn their lesson and NOT go there.
I guess I should feel somewhat lucky that I could never be blasted in that way and if it did happen w/someone that I was dating and gave a damn about, I could say "And?!?" and mean it....
Oh well, you can view the tape by clicking HERE.
OR you can copy and paste the following link into your browser:

Either or, no one can deny...she has a REALLY nice booty!

Blacks & Plastic Surgery
I am not in a video posting mood..I may do one on this topic later in video form but for now, you must READ :O)
I recently received a message from one of my Youtube viewers who stated that within a week's time (from the receipt of the message), she'd be undergoing several plastic surgery procedures, one of which being a nose job.
She is black.
I recently had a friend who got some work done...she is also black.
My question is, why is it that when you seek to "change," its usually called self hate?
When I use to perm my hair, I would participate in messageboard forums where the "natural" girls called me "ashamed" of being black b/c I actually perm my hair. I have been perm free for four years and refuse to go back..but even then, I didnt perm my hair b/c I was ashamed of who I am....but moreso frustrated b/c at the time, I didnt know how to handle my own hair texture.
Ive also said this in blogs before but at one point I considered getting a nose job. This wasnt b/c I was ashamed of the structure of my face but b/c I FELT that my nose had no structure. Its just round...not black, not white, not asian..but round with NO structure. If someone would've said to me "Oh no..you can NOT have the surgery," I dont think my life would've ended nor would I have cried and cursed the angry Gods on high b/c I couldnt "fix" my nose. Hell one day, I may still do it...who knows. But do I hate myself? Not hardly

Shawty Lo....Sitcho Ass Down
Matter of fact, take a seat right next to Usher's ole half dancin' ass....
I dont know whats going on with this beef between TI and Shawty Lo and quite frankly, I dont give a damn....
Whats irking me is that Shawty Lo even has the audacity to THINK that he has ANY type of flow game when compared to TI.
Who gives a shit where either one of you are from...the bottom line is, YOU (Shawty), in all your peeling skin ass'ed glory...will never EVER sell as many records as TI. Some of you rappers make me damn sick....acting like just b/c you came from a certain city or grew up in that damn city that you somehow OWN the shit...like you the Mayor or you were given a key. All of you sound like some whiny ass bitches, claiming "sets" and shit like you run it. Hell if yall want to argue over something, argue over who gonna pay Jia's rent this damn month....or argue over paying back my damn student loans. THAT is a legitimate argument that either one of you could win for all I give a damn. But arguing over a location? Man, sitcho ass down.
Im not even speaking from a groupie standpoint but rather a "listen to your damn album" standpoint. You made a whole song off a word that doesnt even exist (Dunn Dunn), bouncing your flaky ass around on camera with lyrics so SIMPLE that my TWO YEAR old NIECE is smirking at your ass.
"I come thru in something real foolish...they like...boy you a fool."
Mufucka, sitcho ass down...have a warm glass of water and wake up from that nap b/c you're clearly dreamin' if you think you're better than Clifford Harris.

All of you sound like some whiny ass bitches, claiming "sets" and shit like you run it. Hell if yall want to argue over something, argue over who gonna pay Jia's rent this damn month....or argue over paying back my damn student loans. THAT is a legitimate argument that either one of you could win for all I give a damn. But arguing over a location? Man, sitcho ass down.
Im not even speaking from a groupie standpoint but rather a "listen to your damn album" standpoint. You made a whole song off a word that doesnt even exist (Dunn Dunn), bouncing your flaky ass around on camera with lyrics so SIMPLE that my TWO YEAR old NIECE is smirking at your ass.
"I come thru in something real foolish...they like...boy you a fool."
Mufucka, sitcho ass down...have a warm glass of water and wake up from that nap b/c you're clearly dreamin' if you think you're better than Clifford Harris.
Men! ARGH!
First off, I want to start this entry by saying....some...SOME....men never cease to amaze me.
I am single right now. I won't say HAPPILY single but I am. As is life...you can't rush a relationship. You have to let go and let God...I TRULY believe that. Just b/c I wouldn't MIND being involved doesn't mean that I'm just going to accept ANYTHING that's handed to me.
With that being said, I'm single..and SOME men make me very happy that I am that way for now. It's amazing how many men are willing to step to the left on their girlfriends or wives. The very same ones that sit up and talk about OTHER dudes and what they do in the dark are the very ones doing that same shit and usually without any remorse. I just dont get it. If you don't want to be involved, then dont get involved with anyone. And if you're too greedy to remain faithful, at least tell the girl that instead of holding on to the big secret that you're involved. And some of these dudes are ones that I was working on 'something' with...and for one reason or another, it never worked out. Thank GOD b/c you'd probably be running behind my back trying to fuck every broad that gives good head. SMH
Another thing I want to complain about regarding the men folk....dont sit in my face every chance you get and continuously tell me that you're 'sorry' for something you claim to have never done but now that you have a new chick in your life and speak candidly with me of your exploits OR ask me to 'exploit' with you, you expect me to believe that you didnt do the same shit with me. Im sorry but the bullshit saying "Well maybe you were special" is a cop out and a damn lie. I aint special if she aint. If you're willing to (or have) cheated on your new chick, then there is a STRONG ass possibility that you cheated on me when we were together too.
I swear...people, in case you dont know...HIV/AIDS is real. You might think you're invincible, you may think that you just cant get that monster..but you're wrong. There are people around you everyday who have the disease and you know nothing of it. Basically Im saying that the world is just too filthy to be trying to have more than your fair share. Sex is great...trust me, I love it. But I dont love it enough to ever help anyone cheat on their significant other, especially if you and I were once together (or working at it) and I know how she may feel.
Not a good look
