Brayvooo!

I just watched THE BEST SHOW EVER on t.v.
I hate mtv but this show is beyond my wildest imagination.
Take the Stage...I am in love. These kids are talented and get to dance every single day [my dream]. Ugh this makes me wanna go back to dance school like seriously. These kids broke out into a full on dance battle. I dream of moments like that in BFS but alas they are only dreams. The first episode was good in my book. They showed you who the characters were and had enough drama to not make you wanna puke. Seems a little scripted but I don't think it is. Hopefully it doesn't become as annoying as Laguna Beach was [smh @ me for watching 2 seasons of that bull].

Oh! and the hip hop dancer, Tyler, is a sexy mofo. I'd smash.

I also just watched Obama's interview on Jay Leno and may I say that I loved it. I love everything this man does but his interview was very normal. He spoke about the issues and still made jokes with Jay. Bottom line: good, no GREAT interview.

peesh from the slim one until something else catches my eye...

Black History Month Is A Serious MUST

Well on my return from D.C I was greeted with the protest of The New York Post. These fools printed a very much racist cartoon mocking the 200 lbs. monkey attack and Obama & the stimulus bill. I was told that they potrayed Obama as the monkey and from then I knew that it was a definite problem. When I finally saw the cartoon and the sorry ass apology that was released I was outraged. That was the worst apology I have ever encountered in my life. "Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon"...no it isn't. Not when a monkey is being used to represent someone and a BLACK person at that, where in America a monkey or ape has been used to describe a black male. Read Native Son, hell look at all the caricatures. "The monkey represented the stimulus bill"...but the cop saying "they are going to have to find someone else to write that stimulus bill" doesn't make it seem as if the monkey was intended to be Obama? Whatever. I don't accept that bullshxt of an excuse. Shxt like this shows that there is still a serious need for Black History month because people do still think in this backwards way even though we have a black president in office. There are towns where people are not getting the most positive picture of black folks and they need black history month to show them that we are more than just a bunch of thugs and whores on BET, MTV, and ,VH1. We need black history month to counter act tom foolery like this. We need black history to reflect on not only the good but the bad that people try to hide. From the golliwogs to the moron rapper who thanks the slave masters for bringing us to America to get this money and ice [yes Soulja Boy I am calling your bitch ass out], we need to counter act those things. For if we do not know our past, how the hell are we going to know our future?

Once again this has been the most uneventful black history month in my opinion and with 6 days left it needs a spark.

There Is Homework To Be Done But...I'll Finish It Later

Alright I have been slacking this entire week. It has been a serious while since I've blogged and I feel a lil sad [just a lil cuz this slim thugg is trying to "thugg" her way into college, ya digg??? [lmao @ that phrase]]. Anyway as I was going through some gossip sites, I stumbled upon a story on mediatakeout about Rihanna's fingernail *blank stare*. It is a known fact that I am not fond of this chick, I like her music just not her but I clicked that link to see what the hell they had to say about her now [don't know why I did but oh well]. Well this time it was about her fingernail. She has an Obama pic on her pinky and it is cute I must say. What my issue is that they were praising her for it but during the campaign time when pictures surfaced of "regular" people doing that to their nails ["regular" meaning the non famous and fabulous] they called it ghetto and hood. Even the people who commented on the story called it ghetto but a few of them changed their minds this time talking about "Oh thats cute, I wanna get mine done". Ugh it makes me sick to see people change their ways just because some celebrity did something. If it was hood to you before she did it, it should still be hood to you now. I never thought it was hood, I thought it was great because you know I love the oh so amazing one but I never did it because I'm broke as hell and skinny bxtches gotta eat. Anyway I have an english paper to go bang out so I'll be back around 4 am.

peeshhhh.

Yeah I Cried So What?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I have my President Barack Obama playlist on here [three songs so far, I'm coming along lol]

So enjoy 'Barack Campaign', 'Celebration', and 'My President Is Black' until I can get some other stuff.

He has been the president for about 50 minutes now. [I'm telling you all, CNN is on point].

Congrats Mr. President.

The Oh So Amazing One >>>>>> School.

I'm not in school today. They can't make me go. I mean honestly, school or living history? It sucks enough that my mother's attempts to get us to DC for tomorrow failed but to be in school and not see the entire event? Pshhhh learning my ass. I love my mother for trying though because I know she wants to be there just as much as I do. Man if only we had a place to stay or if we were caking...::sigh:: next time I guess. I just find it a little horrible that hotels made rooms ridiculously expensive for this date knowing damn well that there is a recession. Hotel rooms costs more than our rent! Smh but enough of this complaining, time to spread some joy. My television has been glued to CNN for 3 days now. Normally I hate CNN but this weekend, they have become my best friend. Non stop Obama coverage, WHAT??? I have officially bonded with CNN. What president do you know of that had a 3 day celebration and had celebs offering to do concerts for free? I don't even remember Bush's inauguration. HELL I didn't care. I have always wanted to be apart of the fight for my people. Ever since elementary school I've found myself daydreaming about being apart of the civil rights movement. I saw myself in my white sweater with a pink skirt, white socks, black mary janes, and my hair in a nice bun walking down the street with a sign or in another scenerio I was in jail cell soaking wet from the fire hose, singing songs of freedom with my fellow protesters. All I know is that some way, some how I wanted to be apart of history and now my dream has come true. The older folks can say "I was here when Dr. Martin Luther King made his famous 'I Have A Dream' speech". Now I can say "I was in my living room, watching Mr. Barack Obama become the 44th president of the United States on my big ole 72 inch HD television" lol. I can't watch history on some dinky little tv, I must see it on the best. It will make me feel as if I was there because I really and truly do wish I was. Just to be in the atmosphere, to breathe the same air, to share the excitement of others. But alas I am here in Brooklyn and I am content because at least I am alive to see this day. Many people have died for this to happen and I am here to see it. I can tell my kids about it, I can tell my grandchildren about the excitement the day after Obama won and watching the inauguration. I remember that night as if it were yesterday. I was IMing people and then I looked up and I saw that Barack's numbers had gone past the winning point. "Oh my God! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! MOMMY! WE WON! OH GOD WE WON!" Yes I lost my voice and yes I danced around the living with my mother and yes we made up a song but it was all for a good reason.We really did do it. We took one large step in racial equality in America. Sure having a black president wouldn't fix everything over night and it surly does not mean that *poof* racism is gone. No no no no we still have to fight but this in itself is a win because many of us thought that this would never happen in our lifetime. I thought I had to wait until I was well into my years to see this happen. I'm not gonna lie, I had no faith in America when it came to race, HELL I still don't but this alone shows me that I can be proud of my country. I am in disbelief. I still can't believe that the 44th president of the United States is going to be Mr. Barack Obama. People are wondering how long the Obama honeymoon will last. It will last forever. I have faitht that Obama will pull this country through the bull that Bush has left us in. Abraham Lincoln was faced with the issue of slavery and division in the U.S and although it had to come to war and we faced many hard years ahead...he pulled through and is considered one of the best presidents ever. Obama will be fine. He has God on his side and everyone is praying for him so matter what at least one prayer will be heard. Enough of my rambling because I know I lost myself somewhere in this post lol. *cue music* "MYYYYYYYY PRESIDENT IS BLACK, MY BANGS ARE BLUE..."

*update* as I sit here on my couch I can say I have changed my mind about wanting to be in DC. There are entirely toooooo many people there and I am not one for crowds especially ones that large. Everyone looks like little colorful beads lol. It's a sea of people, 2 miles to be exact. I am content with my television as long as my president and his fam are doing okay. The daughters looks so cute. Michelle is gorgeous. And Barack is...just amazing in all ways contending. Am I the only one who feels kinda sorry for Bush? And Cheney should have stayed home in that damn wheel chair! Aretha looks awfully nice in grey. And that pastor was gooood.


Welllll I gotta go now, I'm sorta tired of typing....sorta.

Aight so watch CNN, MSNBC, and all those political channels for the Obama celebration.

'Cause the skinny bxtch said so.

Just When There Was A Glimpse Of Hope...

Violence marred an afterparty for the recent release of the Biggie biopic, “Notorious,” leaving four men stabbed in a New York City nightclub.

According to the Associated Press, a party advertised as the afterparty for the film premiere, left a 21-year-old man in critical condition after being stabbed numerous time, while three others were stable.

The stabbing took place at the Djumbala club is in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn on Saturday (January 17).

At press time, what sparked the incident is unknown, and police would not release any further information.

While the party had been promoted as the “official” afterparty, “Notorious” distributor, Fox Searchlight, said it was not related.

Just couldn't keep a promise could you! In the name of Biggie, just couldn't do us all that one favor? I don't care what it was. Unless these people hurt or killed someone in your immediate family there is no reason for there to be violence [period]. And it just had to happen in Brooklyn right? Ugh bottom line...black folk this has got to stop. Everywhere we go cannot be marked by violence. Big died because of senseless violence, that alone should have stopped people but then again...humans are humans. I am giving you all until 11:59 pm January 20th to change your ways. It is a new day people! We have the oh so amazing one officially in office and he is showing you all that we can go further in this world than we ever thought. Please stop the stupid violence and make changes. Next time you think about stabbing or shooting so & so think about the consequences and where that is going to get you. NO WHERE!
