The Bug...

I hate getting sick!

As some of y'all probably already know, for the past two weeks I've been sick. I've had some bad days and some okay. For the latter half of the first week, I couldn't talk...at all. Then add in the breathing problems, fatigues, headaches, weakness, sore throats, chest pains and chills. Yeah, pretty much hell.

Aside from still making it to my classes, all I've been doing is drugging myself with the usual Nyquil, Dayquil and Robitussin. The occasional Mucinex DM. My best friend decided to try and get me out of the house after 3 days last Saturday and she wouldn't let me sleep. All I wanted to do was SLEEP! I was mad at her the whole night. Then, of course, since my grandmother's 85th birthday was this week, there was a BIG ASS party I had to try to make it through. I did...then fell out afterward.

Since I already had an appointment with my doctor to discuss the results of my knee MRI (which came out good...no surgery!), I decided to ask about the cold that seemed more than a cold. She diagnosed me with upper respiratory infection. Yep...the damn common muthafuckin' cold. And guess what? I've been prescribed Amoxicillin and some kind of cough medicine called Benzonatate, which look like some BB gun pellets. So more fatigue, sleeping, nauseousness...then *stop reading now* D.I.A.R.R.H.E.A. Nasty, I know. I skipped out on some classes too. Hopefully, I get better soon...or I'll be heading to the one place I hate - E.R.

Throughout all of this, that didn't stop me from updating the blog when I could. Oh, and there's a new banner. Yay.

White Chicks Got It Too...



Event host Ryan Cameron said it at the end of the video - "If you can step, YOU CAN STEP." The white sistahs with soul ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha noted on the event website that they were more than ready for the national final of the Sprite Step-Off Challenge: the largest national step competition in history. These girls did NOT lie. ZTA SHUT THE SHOW DOWN!!! They were committed, ready and unfolded as the underdogs that won to the tune of $100,000. Go ZETA TAU ALPHA!!! These girls deserved it.


Now, of course, you have some of those African-Americans that are stuck in the "color line" mind scheme of things that are being vocal about these girls winning the competition. What's the problem? They're WHITE! *Gasps* But wait...aren't we in 2010??? Besides, who said that there were ONLY African-American Greek fraternities and sororities, and that they were the ONLY ones that step? Granted, ZTA studied but they came hard and went home with the trophy. 


And I hear the Deltas were pissed and walked out because ZTA got standing ovations. From the looks of it, the Deltas fell pretty flat...HARD:

Let's step outside of your little boxes people. Everything isn't always black v. white. Stop the hatin' and congratulate. ZTA were better and they WON! #YouMad?

VOTW: The Fray - How To Save A Life

My all-time favorite television show on Earth is the popular ABC hit "Grey's Anatomy". I would stop and drop any and everything to make sure I tune in to every single new episode. It was a requirement. Everybody that knows me know that every Thursday between 8pm and 9pm central time I am NOT to be interrupted. No phone calls. No text messages. No emails. Twitter ONLY to discuss what's happening on GA during that hour. When the "Superstition" episode aired in the Spring of season two, a song was featured that I barely paid attention to but liked the melody. Luckily, GA used the song as its theme to promote season 3 that fall, which I found the song was "How To Save A Life" by a (piano) rock band named The Fray. The triple platinum chart-topping song became my second favorite song of all time, which is why I chose it as the Video of the Week for the blog.

The song is about someone wanting and trying to reach out to a friend that is in trouble but doesn't know how, when it might be too late.

Lyrics:
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

Black History: The Little Rock Nine

 
L to R: (sitting) Thelma Mothershed, Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Gloria Ray, (standing) Jefferson Thomas, Melba Beals, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls, NAACP president Daisy Bates, Ernest Green.

The Little Rock Nine were a group of African-American students who were enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957, who were initially prevented from entering the school by then-Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus until then-President Dwight Eisenhower intervened, allowing the students to attend.

After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled their decision in Brown v. Board of Education on May 17, 1954, declaring establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional and called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) began to register black students into previously all-white schools in the south. After the Little Rock School Board agreed to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling, they implemented a plan for gradual integration of its schools, which would begin in September 1957. The NAACP registered the nine black students, selected based on excellent academic performance and attendance, to attend Little Rock Central High: Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Thelma Mothershed and Melba Beals.

On September 4, 1957, Governor Faubus deployed the Arkansas National Guard to support segregationists when they threatened to protest and block the students from entering Central High. Initially, Faubus supported the high court's 1954 landmark decision but he didn't want to risk losing support of the Democratic Party in the upcoming gubernatorial primary for supporting the integration. At the time, southern conservative Democrats dominated southern politics and were mostly segregationists. The stand-off caught national headlines and President Eisenhower intervened, warning Faubus not to interfere with the court's ruling. On September 24th, Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army to Little Rock and federalize the 10,000 member Arkansas National Guard, taking control from Faubus' hands. Once the Army took their positions, the Little Rock Nine successfully entered school on September 25, 1957.

The students were still subjected to physical and verbal abuse. Although one student, Minnijean Brown, was suspended and expelled then transferred to a school in New York City, the remaining 8 still attended Central High. At the end of the school year, Ernest Green became the first African American to graduate from Little Rock Central High.

Tiger apologizes for being a Cheetah...



Good morning. If you’re not wearing my wedding ring and you didn’t come out my nutsack, I don’t owe you shit. Fuck all y’all. Have a wonderful day.

That’s what Tiger should have stated during his press conference.
He was calling out words like he can’t read and putting on the worst act ever. Did y’all see those tears trying to come out? He’s trying to get that Kleenex endorsement. He knows damn well the media will not leave his wife and his kids alone. SNL will eat this shit alive.

He could have done better with a sit-down with Diane or Barbara would have sufficed.

Alright, time to get serious for a minute.

How I feel about public apologies: FUCK IT! Why was this a big deal anyway? Nothing is owed to us but the people involved. In this case, it was his wife and kids. I hate when public figures come out giving public apologies because, in my opinion, it’s not sincere or genuine. Even if they unsuccessfully “appear” saddened, sincere or genuine (see: Tiger Woods). It’s just a forced attempt to repair their public image when, really, NO ONE CARES! So what if you couldn’t keep your dick in the pants (Tiger, Bill Clinton)? So what if you threatened to shove a tennis racket up somebody’s ass (Serena Williams)? So what if you like to rape white hoes (Kobe)?  We still love them and respect them. Granted, we will still be making fun of them but you get the point (see: Crackney & Mooriah).

Tiger didn’t cheat on me, you or anyone else but his wife. Elin dealt with it when she beat the shit outta his ass with that golf club (Tiger ain’t fooling nobody by denying that). So, in the words of one of my besties, anybody that felt that he NEEDED to apologize to us clearly needs a life.

Michael Jordan. Shaquille O’neil. Chris Brown. OJ Simpson. Hell, even Alicia Keys.  They are all human just like the rest of us. They’re bound to fuck up at some point. On to the next one…

By the way, maybe now Tiger will only mess with the black chicks cuz you know they don’t tell anything… #justsayin.

Pay up!

In the case of baby Nixon, Matthew Knowles...you ARE the father!

Maury isn't even needed. See this?
 
Same head shape. Same mouth. Same eyebrows. Same chin and cheeks. Same bald head. 
That baby mama gotta be 5,000 percent sho!

Turns out a judge ordered him to pay $20,750 in support for the month of January, $8,200 a month for child support and 100% of all uninsured medical costs. Word on the street (how 90s of me), he already gave the baby mama $10,000 for the medical and baby stuff costs.

This is the baby mama:

 
 
C'mon, Matt. If you couldn't do better than Tina then you could've done better than this.

SMH.

Black History: Ali - The World's Greatest

 
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them...
A desire. A dream. A vision.
They have last-minute stamina. They have to be a little faster. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."

Usher...the superhero?

I'm dedicating this post to my one of my best buddies....Steven. :-)

As we all know, multiplatinum R&B singer Usher took the stage this past Sunday night to open the most boring but record-breaking (almost 109k in attendance) NBA All-Star game to date, which was held in Dallas (I hear the night life was shit and people were saying H-town was better, hehehe). Anyway, Ush was looking like something straight out of a lame superhero comic book:
 


I'll admit that the "Daddy's Home (Hey Daddy)" song grew on me and I immediately took a liking to the other song "There Goes My Baby". But Usher lost his steez ever since he hooked up with MANteka. And all these publicity stunts - marrying a man and having 2 kids then the messy divorce and trying to stage a hook-up with his ex-chick Chili (of TLC) - are not going to help him get back that "Confessions" magic. I hope he doesn't think he can make a comeback with a lackluster performance wearing carpi pants and a plastic body shield.

 

CLEARLY not a good look. Smh.

Whoopi v. Wendy???



Whoopi throwin' shade at Wendy. These seems mess-ayyy!! I wanna know what happened!!

Big face HUNNID!!!

Yep, I'm already at my 100th post.
When I started this thing, I didn't have clear direction of where I wanted to go with this blog.
Hell, I didn't even know what the hell I was doing.
But I kept going anyway and now look where I am.
I'm dedicating this post to all of you - my followers and readers.
Seriously, without y'all, I'd just be another crazy fool that needs to be committed.
Now...I'm FAMOUS!!
Lol, ikid. Seriously, I love all of y'all.
Thank you all for putting up with crazy ol' me and hopefully you'll stick with me for the next 100.

Ugh! Valentine's...

Candy. Flowers. Jewelry. Dates. Sex. Cuddle. Love.

It's February 14th. Everywhere you look, you see pink and red everything. Everybody excited about the gifts they received from lovers, friends and sideline ho's. I can't take this shit...

I don't believe in Valentine's Day. It's pointless. Seriously, tell me what do you do on this "holiday" that you cannot do on the other 364 days of the year to show your love for someone?

In my opinion, it's an excuse for men and a weapon for women. Think about it. Men go all out of their way, spending money they probably don't even have to buy gifts and treat their lovers out just so they can get some pussy, ass or even dick, if they're on that team. As for women, if they don't get anything, they'll get mad and put the coochie on lockdown clink-clink. Then the poor "cheap ass bastard", as she will call him, will be stuck in the doghouse.

Seriously, the person that I end up with better not have any expectations. Well, maybe except one person...*winks*

Black History: African Free School

 
The African Free School was an institution founded by the New York Manumission Society, an organization that advocated the full abolition of African slavery, in November 1787 in New York City.
The organization's members were all wealthy and influential white men, founded by statesman and abolitionist John Jay and included Alexander Hamilton among its members.
The original institution, the first free school founded to provide education to the children of slaves and freemen, was a one bedroom schoolhouse that held about 40 students. By the end of its term as a private school, there were a total of seven schools and had educated thousands of girls and boys.
The school was founded just nine years after the society helped a state law passed in 1785 that prohibited the sale of slaves imported into the state. The law also eased on the manumission of Africans already committed to slavery. In 1835, African Free School was integrated into the public school system.

Some things should be left alone...

Like the classic "We Are The World". Before the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the newly re-recorded "We Are The World 25" ('25' for the 25th anniversary of the original song), which was done to raise money for...wait for it...HAITI! That's all fine and whatever but when you take a classic hit song, remake it with different people and the end result comes out like this:

A bitch named Life...

Just when you think you're about to take a step forward, this bitch named Life steps up and knocks your ass back 100 yards. Today, I found out how true those words are. I received some news that seriously pissed me off. I'm talking about needing-to-break-something pissed. I felt like giving up, as if all the trying and everything that I've worked for was done for nothing. For a moment, I felt like God wasn't there for me. I know, I know...it was foolish of me to think that. I still have my faith and realized that I have to keep going. It's nobody but Satan that's trying to keep me down. Well, guess what? I just got back up again, dusted off my ass and I'm pushing back. I got a really good talk of encouragement that gave me motivation to keep trying. It's hard to do sometimes but I realize that life is about the fight to survive and to get where I want to be. It's good to know I have a great group of people in my life (y'all know who y'all are). After some prayer time, I decided to listen to iTunes and the first song that plays:



Whitney Houston.::I Didn't Know My Own Strength::.

The Climb

Darkness is all I can see
My eyes are wide open
But there’s no light to guide me
Lost, confused…where am I?
How did I get here?
Keep walking, a little voice I hear
Sounds from all directions
I keep moving, paranoia growing
Fear in my eyes, my hands reach out
Nothing but air is what I grab
Rushes of wind blows against me
Help, I cried out
Not a body in presence
Shivers, tears, my legs are giving up
I fall down to the ground
Paralyzed with fear
Unable to move, I cry
I surrender…

Get up, that little voice speaks again
So commanding
Demanding to keep going
Exhausted and weak
Don’t give up now
“I picked myself back up”
A song begins in my head
I push myself up to my feet
My legs still tired
Suddenly, a light appears
My feet are heavy like bricks
Dragging, desperate to reach the glow
So determined, I had to get there
I couldn’t struggle any longer
No more of this darkest hour
My faith giving me all the fuel I need
To reach the light that leads me from this dark
Pushing myself with such heart and hope
So much I never thought I’d find within me
You’re almost there, that angelic voice
I made it…I conquered
I’ve reached the mountain’s peak
Stronger and wiser I come out on top
Grateful I am for Him not giving up on me
This bitch named Life dealt me some bad cards
I wondered how much more can I take
But I’ve learned how to play smart
I refuse to lose…I will not break

By the way, my best friend bought me a 6 pack of Budweiser beer. You know, the ones in the bottle? Unopened, I took them outside and threw each one of them against a tree. I felt so much better, lol.

New Music Tuesday: Sade & Monica

British soul singer Sade finally drops her first album after ten long years of absence from the music scene and she doesn't miss a beat. Soldier of Love, the ten-track album which features the smash hit first single of the same title, picks up where Lover's Rock left off. Sade remains true to her soulful sound all while keeping current with today's musical climate. With the second single, Skin, beginning to pick up pace, I can't even tell which songs to check out. The album in its entirety is just that damn good. GET IT!!
 
In stores and available on iTunes now!!

Celebrating fifteen years in the music business, my number one favorite R&B singer Monica is off to a good start with the release of her new smash hit single, Everything to Me, the first off her upcoming fifth studio album, Still Standing. With just two weeks of radio airplay, the song, chosen by Monica's fans during a back and forth battle with executives at J Records, currently sits at #31 on the Billboard R&B charts and climbing. Mo returns to her roots, bringing us that powerful, soulful voice that gave us classics such as Why I Love You So Much, For You I Will and Angel of Mine: talented vocals, real lyrics...just all out SANGIN'!! The single is now available on iTunes and the fan download day is set for this Friday 2/12/2010. Just in time for Valentine's Day.
 
Click HERE to get "Everything to Me" now!

The return of real, quality R&B music was started by Maxwell and Whitney. Monica and Sade is helping to usher its complete return. I hope Bouncy gets on board during her six-month not-so-much-of-a break.
