Throwback



Let me just say that I want every birthday that I have from this day forward to involve this kind of entertainment. Please understand that I do NOT mean male strippers. I mean, sure, some ladies love them, but I'm not one of them. Just don't find them to be particularly sexy. What I do find sexy is the heated hotness that is Bryce Wilson (playing Toni's love interest in the video). I love sexy chocolate with nice eyebrows, lips and lashes. YUM-ME! But seriously, this video is like 12 years old and there haven't been many more that featured an array of hotness such as this. I find that to be a problem. J, Q and whoever else is reading that knows me, please start planning to make this scene of big playing cards and hot men showing up to my penthouse suite waiting to be rated a reality. I'll love you forever for it. That being said, I must be more proactive about getting back in shape. I was supposed to work out today but I have decided to play on the computer instead, which is not a good choice. I think I'm going to have to get a picture of Mr. Ross and place it on my computer screen to remind me of what I don't want for myself. Anyway, I have stuff to do and it involves getting off the computer and out of the bed, so I'm going to work toward that. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Pink Pants

I didn't wake up until 3pm today and it felt great. I haven't had that much sleep in a long time. I should probably follow that up with more sleep so I can get up in the morning and FINALLY go to the gym so I won't be mistaken for Rick Ross. Anyway, last weekend or the weekend before that I went on a work pants frenzy. I got new running shoes at a liquidation sale which was cool. I also got a pair of pink pants. I know. Pink pants. I mean, they looked so cute on the manniquin. And they look cute on me but they're pink. Not soft pastel pink, but pink pink. Almost peptol bismol pink. Not as hot pink but pretty pink. I'm not sure that I can or should wear these to work but please believe that I'm going to try. My laptop is hot and I need to wash my face so I'm going to bed but if you have any suggestions on how I can tone down the pinkness of these pants feel free to leave me a comment and let me know. Caio!

March Husband



I love this song. I'm really going to have to go out and buy all of this dude's albums. Raheem DeVaughn is officially my March husband. I love him.

10 Things You Should Know About Me...

1. I never go to bed when I should.

2. I love to play songs on repeat.

3. Shopping all day makes me physically ill.

4. I'm really shy.

5. I remember more than most people think I do.

6. I can always find a sponsor.

7. I want to be a nun.

8. I have control issues.

9. I hate exercise but I love the results.

10. I'm the hardest working lazy person you'll ever come across.

Mixtapes

Friday night, I decided that it would be a great idea to freshen up my Itunes playlist. That was not a bright idea. In fact, it's never a bright idea. On average it takes about an hour to delete or add a new song. Knowing this, I decided to start this process right before I went to bed. I told myself it was only going to take 20 minutes tops, but that turned into 2 hours. I blame my mixtape problem for this. You see I've always liked different types of music so in order to make one complete tape I had to mix it up. Sometimes this meant recording a song off the radio. At other times it was recording a song from another tape. Either way the process was pretty ridiculous. You would think with the all the advances in technology making a mix CD would be alot easier. I'm here to tell you that it's not. Depending on where I get the song I still have to try to cut off the DJ talking over all the good parts. I still have to decide the order of the playlist. I still have to start all over if the format isn't right. And in some cases making a mix CD is a little worse than making a tape. Case in point: if I messed up on a tape I could just tape over it. If I mess up on a CD, I have to get a new CD and start over. I'm saying all of this b/c I chose to use my good, valuable bedtime to make three different playlist for a friend of mine. I will not get paid for this. My CD's probably won't even be reimbursed. And it's cool. It just takes so much time. But he deserves to hear "Dedication 2" and every other song Wayne has been on this year and I feel it's my duty to help out the less fortunate. Besides he told me that my mixes are sick and flattery will get you everywhere with me.

The Wait is Over!



This right here, is a certified example of pure awesomeness. First of all this magazine is sold on a website entitled "House of Nubian" where you can get anything from a bezeled out watch, to incense, to a bed in a bag. Hustle man has officially moved to the internet. All the convenience of the incense & oil man at the touch of your hand. Secondly, the title of the magazine is F.E.D.S. or Finally, Every Dimension of the Streets. This has provided me & JYR with so much entertainment over the past week. She was also responsible for finding this beautiful mess, so it's only right that I share her synopsis of this great piece of literature. Check it out below.

"That is def someone's Uncle LeRoy "Tuskegee Red" Watson, hottest dice player and numbers game runner this side of the Mississippi. Seated next to him is his longtime bottom chick Dottie "Yellow Bone Boom Boom" Washington. They met at a strip club in '72, where she worked as a cocktail waitress/bathroom attendant. Tuskegee Red asked for some of her sugar and they've been making sweet Kool-Aid ever since. After a brief stint in the state pen on some light RICO charges, T-Red was released and became a gas station attendant at the local BP, which he later bought for $250 and a jar of pickled pig feet. He and Dottie never had children, but they do have two teacup poodles and a Rottweiler they consider family.

Upon closer inspection, I am pretty sure that picture was taken during a conjugal visit. If that isn't a prison uniform he has on, I don't know what is.

Seriously, this magazine is like the Sister 2 Sister of street life."
Exactly.

It's Been A Long Time, I Shouldna Left You

I finally figured out what the problem was with the format. I wanted to post, but everytime I would come to my blog the format would be off and I would just get so irritated. At first I thought it was the Superbowl videos, so I reluctantly took them off and things were still f'ed up. I soon realized it was all b/c of Ginuwine that everything was so jacked up. He must not have appreciated my post. In return he put a small case of roots on my blog. I guess all is forgiven now b/c everything's back to normal. It was a long, rough week and a long informative weekend. I'll catch you up later. I'm sleepy so I'm going to bed.
