This Dude is Serious Too...

Ok, I just about die everytime I hit play on this. It's gotten to the point that I dont even have to watch it, I just listen & laugh now. OMG! Youtube will be the death of me. If only I had the patience to look myself.

Supa Nova Slom- Midnite. Enjoy!

Songs That I Am Ashamed to Say I Enjoyed...

There are times when I put my Ipod on shuffle. I have about 3,000 songs roughly, so it can get pretty scary. Here is a list of currently shuffled songs that made me chuckle or look puzzled when played.

10. Terrance Howard aka Dee Jay, Maine! Dee Jay!(that's how Taraji P Henson said he like it spelled out on his chain)- Whoop That Trick- Hustle & Flow Soundtrack
This song is about the worst thing I have ever heard, but it is absolutely hilarious if you partake in things of the green variety. The movie was even funnier. "Im in chaaaarrrgggge" kept me lauging for at least 2 hours, which is about the length of the movie. This song is about how all Memphis music sounds. Guilty pleasure: Actually saying "Whoop that Trick" in a crowded Memphis club.

9. Sisqo- The Thong Song- Unleash the Dragon
Wow. "Dumps like a truck, truck, truck. Thighs like what, what, what. All night longggg. Let me see that thonggggg." I was about 16 & used to frequent teeny bopper clubs in Memphis. I used to sweat to this joint & I was wearing my thong th-thong th-thong too!

8. The Pack- Vans
I dont even wear sneakers at all, yet alone Vans, so I really should not have been rocking to this at all. I have one pair of Nike Shox & they are as clean as the day I bought them. I cant relate.

7. Ghetto Twinz- Responsibility
I laugh at this song. My homegirl & I used to recite this like we were going through it ourselves. "Well if I didn't write rhymes, where the hell I'd be, and if I didn't pay rent, where the hell I'd sleep. I ain't depending on my man cause he ain't worth it, and if I did depend on mine I'll be a stuck out chick. I keep my eyes on my riches, women do the same. Ain't no love in this game ain't a damn thing changed."
Right. Who remembers this song? I need to be shot.













6.Alicia Keys- No One- As I Am
Yeah, I know. People really liked this song. I did too, but it quickly fizzled. They played this song wayyy too much. This is how the hate started. I remember my girl had some friends in town & we all decided to kick it at my house. They bought the beer but forgot something at the store. I told him I would ride with him. Do you know this dude blasted that song from his Impala speakers? I mean singing and tapping the steering wheel full on. Alicia was literally raping my poor eardrums at a rapid pace. THE SONG WAS ON REPEAT! We got back to my house & he asked was it on my Ipod. Update: He went in the store to get condoms. I didnt get the memo that beer makes the panties fall. FAILED MISSION.

5. Young Dro- My Girl - Best Thang Smokin
Oh, yeah! Retro "I Kissed a Girl". Be it that I have actually had a girl & a guy this was particularly funny to me. The line "We be ballin, you be callin. Why you over there again?" Ahahaha. I could just see a guy asking that shit....because that girl over there is doing stuff that you dont know how to do...haha.

4. Webbie- Gimme That- Savage Life
I should be so ashamed for the rights of women for shaking my toosh to this & similar Webbie jams. He was insiting that if I didnt give it to him, he was just going to take it anyway. "You know you want it girl. Dont act like you dont want. Girl, you want it just as bad I do." What if I really didnt actually "want" it? Whatever "it" is.

3.Plies- Shawty
I hate Plies. He's dumb. "Soon as I seen her, shit, told her I'd pay for it." Pay for what exactly? Im not sure. Now, in the video he payed some girl's rent who had received an eviction notice. Im assuming she slept with him after that.

2. J-Lo- All My Love- That Was Then, This Is Now
J-Lo cant sing. (Jaime Fox said it best in his comedy special) Listening to it now was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. LL Cool J was the best thing that happened to this song & his part wasnt anymore dope than her cooing. It was origionally done by Debra & Ronnie Laws & it should have been left that way.

1. Lil Flip- The Way We Ball- Underground Legend
Maybe music has got faster but this song is extremely slow & remedial. I blame it on the syzzurp. "I'm Lil' Flip, I'm back on the scene, freestyle king. Brand new piece, same byzentine. I'm still sippin lean, I'm still watchin "Scream". I love wearin platinum, but my favorite color's green. I'm hoppin out Ferraris, my house is three stories. I'm still independent cause Jive couldn't afford me. The meetings were boring, for real I was snoring." What the fuck? I could have made that shit up myself.

Honorable mentions:

Trina featuring Kelly Rowland- Here We Go
Young Joc- It's Going Down
The Spice Girls- 2 Become 1
Bow Wow featuring Chris Brown- Shorty Like Mine
Yo Gotti- Shawty
Maceo- Hoe Shit Down

Hope you enjoyed.

Americaaaaa, Fuck Yeaaaah!

In regards to comments made by Dallas Mavericks player Josh Howard.


"2. To call slavery genocide is inane. Genocide is the intentional killing of a goup of people. The last thing the slave traders wanted was a dead slave. Moreover, the slaves in America generally were better treated than the slaves in Africa. And the silver lining of slavery is that because of slavery, millions of blacks now have the opportunity to live in this land of opportunity."


*We still live here with people who think like this.

Oh.My.(Insert whatever you worship).

My OCD

So, I finally found out where the damn strings from Lil Wayne's song "Comfortable" with Babyface came from.

They were at the end of Alicia Keys song "You Dont Know My Name". At about the 4:20 mark it goes into a string instumental to end the song.

Voila! The strings appeared.

For now a part of my Obsessive Behavior can be put to rest. I still dont know if the strings are an original composition by our lovely friend Kanye & that is bothering me.

I could have sworn I heard them in a movie or another track in a completely diffrent genre.

Le sigh.

Im out of Xanax too.

Le BIG sigh.

Gobble-de-guck...

Why on earth did Big text me?

Big: "Hey, Love. Long time no hear."

Me: (Duh, I dont like you.-non verbal-) "Who is this?"

Big: "I guess I have the wrong number."

Me: "Dont be a jerk. I have a new phone."

Big: "Big."

Me: "Oh, hi."

Big: (No response)

None needed.

I seem to have kirked out on my lovah. Probably scared him. My monthly seemed to have put me in a very horny disposition along with the hormones & supplements I take on a daily...lol. Wow! I was having dreams and all. I guess Im not going to be getting laid anytime soon.

Insert sad face.



Oh well. I should be ok. I met a guy. He's a chef. Seems nice enough. I might be a little faster than him but I need to slow down anyway. I was sick this past weekend & he made me some veggie soup. I asked him what was in it & as he started to speak all the beautiful fluent chef words I lit up with glee. Parsnips? Have you ever heard a guy say Pasnips? Hell no! I swoon. Why was he born on my birthday? We might have a little too much in common. Male geminis I have learned are much diffrent though. Very.

So, needless to say there was no "Classic" weekend for me. My ass was in the house sneezing & sweating out Theraflu. Why does that stuff wake you in the middle of the night feeling crakish? I always wake up in a cold sweat with a serious dry mouth that water alone cant cure.

Did you know that most over the counter sleep aides are in fact just Benedryl? People would always laugh when I told them I took Benedryl to sleep. My absolute favorite allergy medicine. Plainly put: You sneeze, you take Benedryl, you sleep, you wake up, no sneeze. Who can complain? Which brings me to my next rant: IN-FUCKIN-SOM-NIA!

I cant sleep. No matter how hard I try. Thought about seeing a doctor while I still have this good ol' work provided insurance. I'm too lazy to look for a doctor in my network. It involves online & time. So, I went to visit my local Walgreens, looking like a damn idiot. I had on a shirt that would clearly show my rings under my shirt, some terrible Old Navy powder blue shorts, Tar-get flip flops, a headband, raggedy pony-tail, a jacket, my glasses, & a purse that clearly does not go with my outfit of shitdom. Im patrolling the self meds section & WTF?!? You mean all this time I have been taking Benedryl when I buy these expensive ass sleeping pills? So, I go pick up the Benedryl. It has 25mg per pill.

Benedryl: 25mg per pill. 25x3=75 = no sleep anymore

Sominex: 50mg per pill. 50x2=100 = we shall freaking see

Wal-nex: 50mg per pill. (Same active ingredients+ 3 bucks cheaper) = Sold!

I proceeded to then go ask the Pharmacist if there was any over the counter that had more that fifty milligrams. You would have thought he thought I was a crackhead. What he doesnt realize is I havent slept through the night in over 3 days. Screw you. How dare you judge me?



At least Im not Tyrone Biggums. At least I didnt sell your house to have a $250,000 crack party...LOL. I just want to go to sleep. Seriously...

The Wal-nex did work. I just wonder how long it will be before I have to increase my dosage by another 50mg. I slept like a baby. Roxy was all warm. She was probably just happy I actually slept. She would usually come from under the covers & stare at me like, Woman, will you stop moving please! I envied her in all her doggie freedom...the damn snoring and all. Yes, my dog snores. All 5 lbs of her. Loudly.

So, my seemingly quiet neighborhood is not all quiet these days. I live in B-wood which is a small affluent suburb in Nashville. The last past few nights it has been the "Ski-mask" way around these parts.




Part of the reason I dont sleep. (Que Cee-lo's song "The Night-time")

[Cee-lo]
Late in the evening
there is the thieving and the trickin and the trappin
and they ain't actin
We make it happen
We'll get the guns on anyones and get to clappin'

The nightlife the dark side of the city
Gon' be on 24 inches and be defenseless
The nightlife the dark side of my heart
Where no one really knows you and no one supposed you
The nightlife the dark side of my soul
Where if somebody crossed you, kill 'em up off you
The nightlife the dark side of the moon
Where the sun is scared to come

Take me where the darkness is still beautiful

The night is gonna getcha
ahh it's gonna getcha
The night is gonna getcha

[End]

That's how it's been feeling lately. People are getting real desperate around here. All I can do is pray and try to not worry so much. I do think that they are targeting Hispanic families that live on the other side of my neighborhood. They havent really ventured down my way yet mainly because it is patrolled constantly by police. They think it is the same guys & they are getting pretty bold. They did three apartments yesterday & they shot a teenage boy in the foot. Man...I think to myself sometimes & I just shake my head. I have been so blessed in my life but the people who have nothing to live for but the day to day: They simply scare me. Mainly, because they are ruthless in pursuit of the things that they think that they need.

Im just ranting now. I need to get back to work. Peace & Safety. We need it these days.

Lock your doors! The recession is fucking with people's rational thinking.

Love.
