The Riddler is coming...

The Dark Knight returns in 2011.

And I cannot wait.

Oh, hell to da naw!!!

Meet the Coles. This family is the center of a new TLC reality series, ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY. Big as in literally, like the Klumps. And BLACK too.

Am I over-reacting? I DON'T THINK SO!

This shit is playing into all the stereotypes there is about big black folks. "I've been eating fried chicken since I was 2"...???????? I ain't down with this at all.

And I thought BET was bad enough....

A decade to remember...

Sorry I haven't been updating, guys. I'm still fighting a cold and have an earache. The blogging must go on... The past ten years has been certainly one to remember. A lot of memorable things happened, both personal and historical. I thank God for getting me through these years. There were times I probably wouldn't have made it but I'm still here, and I look forward to what the next decade will bring. Here are some of my most memorable moments of the last ten years (2000-2009):

• Y2K - don't act like y'all didn't stock up on everything when you were told all the electricity would shut down...
• Presidential Election 2000 - the 1st time G. Dub cheated his way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave...
• The deaths of Aaliyah in 2001, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez and Jam Master Jay in 2002, Gerald Levert in 2006, Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes in 2008...
  
• 9/11/2001 - the day the world stopped moving; this is THE biggest, most significant even ever...
• Iraq War - G. Dub lied about the weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein caught but bin Laden still free...smh...
• Janet Jackson's 2004 wardrobe malfunction & J. Timberlake punked out - on repeat for several weeks lol...
• High school graduation - #shoutout to Forest Brook class of 2003...
• Accepted to and becoming a University of Texas Longhorn - Hook 'em Horns!
  
• The death of my grandmother - that morning phone call I'll never forget...
• Myspace, Facebook, Twitter - what's next...
• Columbia space shuttle disaster (2/1/03) - I thought it was a rocket or some fireworks #honestly
• Tropical storm Allison; Hurricanes Katrina, Rita & Ike...
• Snow Days - Houston had like 3 or 4 of them...AND an ice storm...global warming, my ass!!!
• Line dances - Stanky Legg, Cupid Shuffle, Michael Jackson shuffle, Bunny Hop...what other dances? LOL
• Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) - need I say more? ♫ Now WAIT!!♫
• Avian/Bird flu and H1N1 outbreak - Swiiiiiiiiine...
• Miracle on Hudson - the plane landing in the Hudson River...
• The Assassination of Neda (Iranian Election) - the videos shown on CNN...man...
• Balloon Boy and the White House Party Crashers - the hell wrong with these people?
• Whitney Houston - Being Bobby Brown #KissMyAss, Crack is whack, the Wendy Williams interview, teaching us how to smoke a coke-laced weed while reading the Bible...Crackney had some moments, didn't she? LOL
• Attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day - a tighty whitey bomb?! #CmonSon
• Octomom - crazy ass...
• "You got Chris Brown'd!" - sorry Ike...#KanyeShrug
  
• Tiger's a Cheetah...
• Michael Jackson dies - the day music stopped playing...
  
• Year of the Fallen Stars 2009 - Brittany Murphy, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Senator Edward Kennedy, Patrick Swayze, Natasha Richardson, Billy Mays, David Carradine, Steve McNair...

And I cannot forget two of my favorite moments - G. Dub chokes on a pretzel and ol' Dick Chaney shot his friend on a hunting trip. That's mean, I know...and I don't care. C'est la vie! What a decade. On to the next one...

I love my family...

...especially during the holidays. No matter what happens with us, I know I can always count on them. Well, I couldn't count on them this time. There was no big drama or boxing match to make it a big memorable event. The last big showdown was Christmas 2005, and that was THE best, lol. I know, it's sad wanting my family to fight each other for my entertainment but if you'd spend just ONE day with these people, you'd be saying we should have a reality show.

I did have a NICE Christmas, though. I spent half the day with my Louisiana folks and the other half with my mom. My niece was so happy to see her Tinkerbell and Princess and the Frog gifts. I watched my little cousins faces as they opened their presents then we ate the annual Christmas gumbo (I told you my family is Creole...they hail from Louisiana). I got a couple of gifts, even though I don't care for getting them. I've outgrown that and told these people not to get me anything. My aunt and uncle gave me a tie, knowing very well I don't dress up at all. My best friend got me the 12 megapix-5 optical zoom digital camera that I been looking for, which she owes me for breaking my last camera anyway. My mom got me a box of Turtles (can't go wrong with that) and an Amex gift/debit card thing. 

I guess you can say a little drama, if you call it that, did happen. My mom's folks were supposed have the get-together at one of my aunts house but she never answered the phone for 2 days. She finna get it, if she hadn't gotten it already.

To top it off, I witnessed my mom attempting to jerk and re-enact the Single Ladies routine. I have appointment with a therapist in a few minutes. #ShadeSoldSeparately

Looking forward to that one crazy drunk on New Years...

Storytellers...of erotica...

As I wrote in my introductory entry, I’m a writer. When I was younger I used to write lyrics and poetry. During high school, I wrote short amateur screenplays. By college, I transitioned into kind of a soap opera-like untitled scripted screenplay. Now, I have 2 unfinished novels that I started writing about 3 years ago. Due to school, I haven’t had much time to write like I used to. I thought about posting some of my work here but, you know, Beyoncé might be waiting to steal credit. As good of a writer I am, so I’ve been told (#Brag), I haven’t reached the level of writing good sex scenes or stories. The thing is, I'm a Scorpio. We're major freaks by nature. I did phone bone once but it never did much for me. The real thing though - in the bedroom, in the kitchen, the living room, the driveway, a room full of people sleeping - is a different story. *Winks* So why can't I put erotic action on paper? I think I should try it out for practice soon. #2010ToDoList.

 I have to give a #shoutout to my friend and fellow blogger Steven, a developing author who’s been writing some hot erotic stories. Check him out. I sure could use a few pointers from him. #ShamelessPlug: Welcome To My World…

Yep, you read it right. Clifford "Tip" Harris is a free man.

2009 has definitely not been a good year in entertainment.

Is He or Isn't He?

Earlier Sunday, the shocking news spread through Twitter and blog sites across the web like a virus. The suburban up and coming white boy rapper Asher Roth has come out of the closet to reveal that he's gay. (No, Eminem is not the only white boy rapper these days) According to the rumor, the I Love College hit-maker had recently appeared alongside Lady Gaga and out & proud gay American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken at a Gay Rights Parade, came out of the closet last week and will make an appearance on E! News this week around the Christmas holiday to admit he is, indeed, a "gay rapper". Supposedly, he had also confirmed he is the gay rapper discussed in the controversial book, Hiding In Hip-Hop: Confessions of a Down Low Brother in the Entertainment Industry, by Terrance Dean. And he resides in a gay section of New York. He has also reportedly been dropped from his label, SRC Records.

Surprised? I was...kinda. I was skeptical too.

Well now,  apparently the president of Roth's record label are dispelling those rumors:

As Executive Vice President of Loud.com / SRC Records, I would like to address the recent internet rumors about Asher Roth:
Asher Roth is not gay, and is not scheduled to be interviewed on the E! Channel. Furthermore, Asher has not been dropped from SRC Records, and is a top priority at the label after having sold over a million copies his "I Love College" single. Asher is currently working on his next album for SRC.
DJ Vlad
Executive Vice President Loud.com / SRC / Universal
CEO, VladTV

It didn't add up. Asher supposedly came out "last week" to an UNNAMED SOURCE and we're just now hearing about it. He was at a Gay Rights Parade in an UNDISCLOSED city. This WHITE dude is the "down low BROTHER", or in urban lingo - "BRUTHA", that Terrance Dean wrote about and has yet to confirm nor deny. If that hasn't made you skeptical yet then get this: around the Christmas holiday he's supposed to appear on an entertainment news program to admit he's gay...WHEN HE'S SUPPOSEDLY CAME OUT LAST WEEK!! #ImJustSayin.

So, is Asher Roth one of the Kidz or not? I'll keep my warm "welcome to the klub" and wait to hear from the horse's mouth. *Wendy voice* How YOU dewin?

Aunt Mary & Sistah Keys...

This past week, the ubertalented Alicia Keys released her somewhat anticipated fourth studio album, The Element of Freedom, and it is nowhere near any levels as her previous albums. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good album. It’s just not great. I feel like Alicia’s work had gotten better with each album, with As I Am being her best. The 1st single, "Doesn't Mean Anything", was decent but a carbon copy "No One". The next single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" is a better, fresher track that got me wanting this album. There’s a collaboration track, titled “Put It In A Love Song”, featuring my favorite bouncy bottom, Beyoncé…it should have been left alone. Miss Keys lost 2 points for that mess. Freedom should have been a step forward but instead, it’s three steps backwards. Tracks to check out:  Love Is Blind, Unthinkable (I’m Ready), Love Is My Disease, Distance And Time. B- *In stores now*

Side note: Swizz Beats was the inspiration for Alicia looking like a bird on the album cover.  

The Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul, Mary J. Blige, earned her title when she released her debut, What’s the 411?, with a new sound in the 90’s. Since then, Queen Mary has given us some classic albums, including My Life, Share My World and Mary. Then came No More Drama. It’s not a classic, in my opinion, but it was a hot album that broadened her fanbase. Love & Life was an epic #fail. The Breakthrough breathed new life into Mary’s career, becoming her best-seller and birthed the now-classic "Be Without You". Growing Pains was nice but a few steps backwards. Now comes along Mary’s 8^th (I think) studio album, Stronger With Each Tear…

…and MAN, am I disappointed. I loved the fun joint, "The One" featuring Drake, but it isn’t what I wanted the album to be about. When "I Am" was released, my anticipation kicked up for this album. I was sad to see "Stronger", which features my baby Chris Brown in the background, wasn’t included. As I listened, I noticed myself getting bored halfway through the album. In the end, I dumped the album from my iTunes, leaving only 5 of the 12 tracks: The One, Said and Done, I Am, We Got Hood Love and Color. I know she’s happy and all but I need another Share My Word-My Life kinda album. I’ma need aunt Mary to get it together. D- *In stores 12/21/09*

In Living Color...

Maybe I’m the only one but I think there’s a double standard among black women.

The other day, my cousin and I were talking about our current favorite TV shows. She mentioned one show that both she and I used to watch…House. I stopped watching because I boycotted the Fox network, all thanks to Fox News Channel, which I despise. What struck me was the reason she stopped watching –Omar Epps’ character was given a non-black love interest. She went on to say, with glee, how Shamar Moore’s character was initially given a non-black female love interest but later, shortly after, a black female lover. Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Reggie Bush, Russell Simmons…that’s just to name a few. She’s always denouncing when black men date outside their race. Yet, she cheers when a black woman has a man of any race, white or Hispanic or Asian, instead of a black man. *By the way, my dad is married to a Hispanic woman but she’s never said anything about it…at least in my presence.*

My baby mama Halle Berry, for example: (a) her character roles in Monster’s Ball, The Rich Man’s Wife & Perfect Stranger and (b) her baby daddy-slash-lover Gabriel Aubry. Another example: Sanaa Lathan in Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys. Speaking of Tyler Perry films, I Can Do Bad All By Myself finds Taraji P. Henson’s character falling for CSI Miami alum Adam Rodriguez’s character. (I never saw the movie so I’m assuming they may have gotten together, knowing T.P.’s film history) 

Why is it that black women have problems with black men being in interracial relationships but it’s okay for black women to have a little “jungle fever”? Black women come up with all kinds of excuses for their reasons of dating outside their race: no good black men left, they’re either married or gay or bi/DL, have no job or are man-sluts, can’t treat women right. The list goes on. Some even claim men of other races are more goal-driven and treat women better than black men. *Blinks* Just tear the bruthas down, eh? But when it comes to the “bruthas” ditching the “sistahs” for other women of other races, these same black women complain: all these beautiful black women (BBW) available, they’re intimidated or can’t handle strong educated BBWs, they’re scared or suck-ups, bourgeois or think they can boost their status/image.

What’s worse is when my cousin, same one from earlier, said she hope the Saints lose and Reggie Bush blow his back or his knee out…all so Kim Ho-dashian can leave him. *Now…you don’t go around jinxing my future baby daddy like that.*  Father Russell said it better:

“That’s pure bullshit. I prefer funny, charming and yes, beautiful women. I like Black African women like Ms Tanzania, Flaviana, or Kiara; and I like French-African like Noemie Lemoir. I like African-American women like Porschla and Katie Rost. I like - no, LOVE – Asian-Black women like my children AND Kimora Lee. Oh, and I like Swedish women like my old girl Tova Johannsen. I like blond Texas girls like my ex girl Julie. I like Danish girls like Heidi Albertson. I like Puerto Ricans like Heidy Alliende. I could go but the point is made. I’m sick of racist self hating women suggesting that I prefer this and that. I prefer hot funny charming non-cigarette smoking, non-fur wearing women from any place in the world.”

My black sistahs, #GetIntoIt! So what if a brutha like a little White, Mexican or Asian. Ain’t nothing wrong with dipping into a little vanilla every now and then. It’s almost 2010. This racial double standard among black people, period, has gotta stop.

Houston. Annise Parker. 12/12/09.

My hometown. The new mayor. History.

Why, you ask? Miss Parker is an out and proud lesbian. After more than a month of intense campaigning during a hotly contested runoff, Annise Parker has been elected as the first openly gay mayor of the city of Houston, defeating former city attorney Gene Locke in a solid victory. Houston is also the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor. Several smaller cities have openly gay mayors, including Portland, Ore., Providence, R.I., and Cambridge, Mass.

While I applaud this major victory for the GLBT community, especially in Houston as it shows we are moving forward, I have to admit that my support was for Locke. Yes, Locke is a black man and Parker is a lesbian, however, although some Houstonians may have casted their votes based on those two factors alone, I didn't care about that as neither of those were reasons for the direction of my vote. For me, it was about the future of my hometown and who I saw as a better fit for mayor, and that was Gene Locke. I look forward to seeing mayor-elect Parker in action over the next two years. I'm glad that I was able to witness such an historic victory for our community.

History, pride and victory is now the celebration. Let's hope this will bring U.N.I.T.Y. and not the ignorance in people, and we can move on and help Annise Parker make this city better.

"This election has changed the world for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Just as it is about transforming the lives of all Houstonians for the better, and that's what my administration will be about."

-Annise Parker, Houston's 1st openly gay mayor

Hilariously Ridiculous...

Really now...

LEAVE CHEETAH ALONE...

Since November 27th, the mainstream media has been covering EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. in the case regarding the private matters of world famous pro golfer Tiger "Cheetah" Woods. Ever since his late-night single vehicle accident, the public has been speculating what happened at the Woods home, from his wife beating the shit out of him with his own golf club to him sleeping with many other women. To date, a total of 12 women have come forth, from party girls to congeniality contestants to porn stars, and the number continues to rise. The media even provided the public with details of the new revised prenuptial agreement, in which Mrs. Woods is rumored to receive nearly $300 million if she and Tiger were to divorce. I figured with entertainment media lingering a little this would all blow over after a couple of days. Boy, was I wrong! Every news media outlet - evening, local, national, entertainment, sports, web...you name it, it's included - STILL continues to report new details every day, all day...and I am SICK of it all. Just the other day, there was a frickin' BREAKING NEWS bulletin about Tiger's mother-in-law being rushed to the hospital. A recording of the 911 call was released and cameras were rolling when she was wheeled from the ambulance into the hospital. WTF!! I'm sure that woman felt her privacy was violated. Can they PLEASE leave this man and his family alone to deal with their PERSONAL & PRIVATE matters? There are more IMPORTANT matters that we should be worried about like national security and the wars, health care reform and the economy. Hell, I'm more worried about global warming than Cheetah *ahem* I mean, Tiger being a playa. It's his fault he messed around with bitches that couldn't keep their mouths shut.

SUSAN BORE-YLE...
This ol' bat named Susan Boyle sold more than 1.2 million records in the U.S. within two weeks of her release, beating both Crackney and Moo-riah COMBINED, and a total nearly 4 million worldwide. The jazz covers set, I Dream A Dream, is on track to sell another 600K in the U.S., denying my crush Chris Brown a potential number 1 spot. This is really amazing, no lie, considering the state of album sales and the music business BUT I really don't understand the hype about this:

 

SuBo has a really great voice and all but...she's a BORE!!! She's only good enough to put me to sleep. I can understand her selling like hot cakes because of the hype but DAMN!! Guess all the old folks had enough of most of the crap that's taken over the radio. #KanyeShrugs

I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U...

H.A.T.E.U. is the 2nd 3rd single to be released from her flop album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel. This definitely wouldn't be a Mariah video without her body being digitally altered to appear slim and fit. I feel Mimi would have done better releasing Angel's Cry instead of this, which would have given her SOME kind of success. Honestly, it's the only hit, aside from the crapfest called Obsessed, on the album, which has sold less than 400 thousand copies to date. The word is she's prepping a remix album. SMH. She might as well hang it up and take at least a 2 year break, let people miss her. I still can't get into this cd. Good thing I didn't spend my money.

Lambs, don't be offended and attack me because I don't like the cd. It's not that serious.

Sexy Inventors & Painters, Barbies & Money...

Young Money featuring Lloyd .::Bedrock::.

Never understood the hype with these...people, especially this Nicki Minaj AKA "Barbie" thing. The first official single, Bedrock, features almost the entire roster of the Young Money family - inlcuding Drake, Weezy, Tyga and some other unimportant rappers - and guest stars former rat-looking Murder Inc flop singer Lloyd who comes out of nowhere. I can't even begin to tell you what I think of Nicki's image. I heard she had some platinum blond wig on 106 & Park. *Cough*Lil Kim*Cough* Anyway, I just can't get with this gimmick. I'm convinced Weezy writes both Nicki and Drake's verses. They all sound WAY too similar. And the other rappers...well, they suck. Side note: Fake or not, Nicki has a nice rack and ass, and I never noticed how cute Tyga actually is...in this video.
Young Money's We Are Young Money and Lil Wayne's Rebirth drops 12/22.

Trey Songz .::One Love::.

I admit before the Ready album, I hardly ever thought twice about Trey Songz. Good thing he dropped a mixtape titled Anticipation. That made me pay attention to him. Well, that and the fact he upgraded himself into the sexy category. I downloaded Ready when it leaked and later spent my $13.99 on the physical release. One of the best male R&B vocalist and album of 2009, second to Maxwell of course. One Love is the 5th or 6th single (I lost count). I can't get enough of his album cover. #drool
READY is in stores now.

Speaking of sexy singers, my current main celebrity crush Chris Brown released his 3rd studio album Graffiti today. It is a good album and I know you all downloaded the leak version. Go buy it anyway.

Shameless Plug: Rihanna - Rated R also in stores now. Get into it! (Not tryna be funny...)

The hell...?

Are these people SERIOUS?!
First of all, I'm not understanding why people are calling this health care reform "Obama's Health Plan" or "Obamacare". It isn't HIS plan. There's a House bill and there's a Senate bill, neither of which President Obama has yet to place his signature. HE didn't come up with ANYTHING on either bills. Congress did. The ONLY thing the Prez did was adapt the IDEA of a universal health care plan to revise the system and help those who currently cannot afford health care, and left the planning up to the members of Congress. It's the same idea that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had when she ran for president during the Democratic primaries.
Second of all, this ad was filmed and released based on the "beliefs" of 12% of voters? Hell, half the damn country believes in Big Foot and UFOs. Besides, according to that exact same Rasmussen report, 67% disagreed with the sentiment that opponents of the HCR are racist, while 21% were not sure. I guess any small amount was significantly enough to prompt an ad campaign. #ChilePlease
I'll be honest: I'm not one to pull the race card in every situation and I do believe that SOME of the opposition to the Obama administration's agenda is fueled by racism. I just don't believe ALL of the opposition is based on racism. Yes, racism still exists and a lot of people in this country are racist, however, I doubt that many Americans are accusing the entire opposition to HCR as racist at ALL. Nope, just that supposedly measly "12%" we're soooo worried about.
This video is a ridiculously idiotic move generated by right-wing conservatives as a defense for an imaginary attack. The video in itself is practically racist. Notice that there's only TWO Blacks, ONE Asian and ONE Hispanic out of a total of 21 people. Sadly, these people, I believe, were paid actors selected to participate in this video. I mean, do you really believe ALL of them are the least bit of a racist in real life, even the little 3 year old? Yeah, sure Republicans, that little "racist" baby knows how to agree or oppose on a major political or social issue. *Insert sarcasm here*
Mr. President will not have an easy term and will continue to scrutinized based on his skin color, and that is the truth. In case some people didn't know or fail to realize, the Prez isn't 100% Black anyway. Shocking? Yeah, you were only looking at the shade of his skin. That is complete and blatant disrespect to his mother and maternal grandparents, all of whom are white.
Anyway, the health care reform is a serious issue in an attempt to revamp the current hack of a health care system to help the poor people, in which the majority is non-white. Racist? Maybe, maybe not. Why anybody would oppose to health care assistance that could replace what they're paying an arm and a leg for is beyond me. In fact, I'm not even seeing how this overhaul is going to be a "government-run system", only that it's going to be accessible to all so that the industry doesn't rip people off as they have been doing for years. If only people would take the time and do some research. Whether you agree with me or not, I support HCR. I hope people are smart enough to see this 'advertisement' for what it is.

If anything, the Tea Party of 2009 was full of blatant racists.

Dear Chris Breezy...

After watching your 759th not-so-revealing and repetitive interview on 20/20 regarding the Rihanna Beatdown of 2009 incident, here's a couple of suggestions:
1. Fire your current stylist. Please. The sweaters...stop.
2. Hire a speech pathologist. There's no reason for your speech to be the same in 2009 as it was in 2005. There should have been SOME improvement.
3. If you're not going to give any of the details about the incident - you know, like when the bitch you beat up threw you under the bus a few weeks ago - then STOP DOING FRICKIN' INTERVIEWS ABOUT IT!!! We don't want to hear you repeat the same shit you said in the first 758 interviews!
4. Can you hook me up with your team? They are certainly working wonders for your career.
5. You don't need Rihanna. Slide over this way...*oops, did I say that?*

"Graffiti" drops this Tuesday, December 8th. Pick up Rihanna's "Rated R" while you're at it.

TEXAS WINS!!!!!!

Colt McCoy threw his 3rd and final interception that resulted in Nebraska taking a 12-10 lead with 1:44 left in the game. I was blood-red PISSED. 

Then I thought, maybe Colt and the offense company will surprise us. There was still enough time left. All they had to do was transform into the super powerful team they were in the 12 weeks prior. They have just enough time to get into field goal range and win this game.

Yeah, I know. The Longhorns offense put on a horrid display, piss-poor performance the entire 38 minutes and 16 seconds of regulation. Colt was sacked 9 times and scored the lone TD. They only rushed 38 yards and Colt passed 184. Terrible.

But Colt managed to get them to field goal range. I stood up. I was praying and cussing at the same time. I know, I'm going to hell. That's a given anyway. 

3rd & 13. I kept saying, "Go for field goal!!" Everyone else in the room was against me and my Longhorns. They were still pissed we managed to beat their precious sorry ass Texas A&M on Thanksgiving. Oh well. Back to the game. 

Colt & co. decided they were going to try for a TD throw. I knew this wasn't going to go over well. I was going KAH-RAY-ZEE!! With about 5 seconds left, Colt snapped, ran towards the sideline and threw the ball out of bounds as the clock wound down. The Huskers celebrated, everyone around me cheered.

Suddenly,

there was a call for review of the play. Replay showed, with the clock, the Longhorns had 1 second left thanks to the NCAA rule: once the ball hits SOMETHING, the clock must stop. Just our luck.

Hunter Lawrence is up. 4th & 13. 49 yard field goal. I felt the same way I did when the Texans were playing the Titans. I was going to tear shit up in the house if Hunter pulled a Kris Brown. The Texans kicker, not the Ike Turner wannabe singer. The Huskers tried to distract Hunter with a time out but that didn't phase him. 

Snap. Hunter kicks...and it's GOOD!!! Cheers, confetti & Big 12 Champions trophy. All is right with the world.

 

Next stop: the BCS National Title Rose Bowl.

The thing about miscommunication...

Yesterday, I was an emotional wreck. Learning the news about a death of a close family member can do that to you. My sister broke the news to me early that morning. After finally calming my nerves down, I decided to say good-bye to my uncle via a post.

That was at 11:31 A.M.

No more than two hours later, I finally talked to my mom and learned that my uncle is in fact still living. However, he's brain dead. The thing was, when she got the call from my aunt, who happened to be so emotionally distraught and unintelligible of course, which is understandable considering, my mom couldn't even understand a word my aunt was saying...but managed to make out the word "dead". Still being alive would still make things hopeful but the news of being brain dead diminished that hope.

Today, a decision will is supposed to finally be made. I stood by my uncle's side yesterday, praying and hoping he'd wake up but I also said my possibly final good-bye. I guess I've come to terms and accepted the situation and what's bound to happen next because I'm doing so much better now. Now, we have to focus on my aunt and their children.

I won't delete yesterday's post because I'm going to keep that as a tribute. Guess I'll let you know when the time comes...

Diana Ross has 0.

In contrast, Beyonce has 10 (solo) and Alicia Keys has 12. They'll soon have more than Aretha Franklin, who has 18 to date.

The Grammy's are a joke, and have been for years.

Much to their already diminishing credibility, the Grammy's revealed their list of nominees for the 52nd annual awards show, to be held in late January 2010. Beyonce leads the pack with 10 nods, Taylor Swift follows with 8. Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West and Maxwell tie for six, while Lady Gaga and Jay-Z tie for 5.

Whitney Houston, who's the biggest comeback story of the year and her team pushed up the album by one date to meet the Grammy deadline, was COMPLETELY snubbed. Granted, this isn't the Whitney we know from "I Will Always Love You". Years of smoking cocaine-laced weed and wear & tear has affected her vocals but I LOOK TO YOU was indeed a solid R&B album and has reached platinum status in the 3 months since its release with no major hit single. I guess Crackney doesn't care anyway since she has a record 412 awards. Kanye was also snubbed for Record and Album of the Year. Even the incredibly vocally talented and hilariously funny-face-making Chrisette Michelle was snubbed.

I'm not even going to waste my time on Taylor Swift. She just better give Kanye the proper thanks.

Bouncy received 10 nods for her album I AM...SASHA FIERCE. #Secretly, I like a few of her songs. Granted, the girl works her ASS (which is a beautiful one, at that) off and I congratulate her, however, seriously? I mean, think about this: in 1999, Lauryn Hill's MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL received 10 nominations, in which she won 5. CLASSIC album. Based on the quality of IA...SF, is this album REALLY worthy of the 10 noms? For the record, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" should have been up for Record of the Year instead of "Halo". Come talk to me when she releases quality, non-disposable and classic material that will be remembered ten, 20 or even 30 years from now. In the meantime, I'm going to finally learn this Single Ladies routine.

♫All the single ladies...♫

Angel's Cry

December 2, 2009. 7:52 A.M.

Phone rings. I answered. A few minutes later, I hang up, walked out of school and got in my car.

As I drove home, I kept pulling over to regain my composure so I could make it home.

He was supposed to be getting better. He was doing fine.

8:24 A.M.

Closed my bedroom door. The waterworks began.

It hurts. He's gone. I keep hoping it's all a dream but it's real. He's gone and he's not coming back.

I start thinking about his wife, whom he JUST married. I start thinking about his very young children.

He was just fine on Thanksgiving. A little mistake and it cost his life. He had finally awaken two days ago and he was doing fine. How do you accept that? How do you deal with something like that?

I'm not good at handling things like this. I shut myself off from everyone and neglect taking care of myself.

I can't go back the depression. I refuse.

Thankfully, I have my family with me now. We just have to help each other.

Dear Uncle Jr,

We never expected this to happen. I wish you could still be here.

You didn't get a chance to live a full life.

I guess the good thing is you're up in Heaven sitting next to Mama Joyce now.

Give her my love. We miss you.

Bye Bye.

It's World Aids Day.

Get tested.

Know your status.

Wrap it up.

One moment of pleasure can lead to a lifetime of pain.
