So in my world, Thursdays have recently become “Spin Class Thursday.” So every week no matter how tired I am and I drag my ass to the 6:45 pm Spin Class at my gym. Now, I’ve been doing this class for about 3 weeks, so its fairly new, but its pretty cool. However, if anyone has taken a spin class they have realized that this bike hurts your ass. Not in a “Oh my god! we worked our glutes hard today,” kinda way, but in a “Damn, my ass is sore kinda way.” No matter how softly I try to come down on my seat, that damn piercing seat makes my ass hurt.
I don’t know if everyone knows what a spin class (or a cycle class as some call it) entails, so I’m going to tell you. It is a class, with an instructor, and you ride a stationary bike. Basically you use increasing levels of tension and various speeds to simulate outdoor cycling. You might crank your tension up really high and stand like your peddling up a steep hill, or you might sit and pedal as fast as you can to pretend your racing. Sometimes you do different “routines.” You might reach back and “GO!” as my instructor yells, or you might lunge forward just to make sure your hitting all your muscles. I’ve only taken this class with one instructor and he’s pretty good, not horrible choices in music, but he’s a talker. And if its one thing I dont like its people who I don’t really know talking to me at the gym. Like, he tries to get you to talk back, “how you feeling out there…” you know stuff that requires a response. Now, I’m not much of a talker in certain aspects of my life and that bothers me. Especially when they force you to talk back. I don’t do well under pressure.
Why can I see the lips of your camel? You are epitomizing the term “fire crotch.” Didn’t your doctor ever tell you that when you wear jeans too tight you increase your chances for vaginal infections. I feel so dirty just looking at these pics, I never want to be this close to another woman’s slit… Please… let some extra fabric into your life. And why bright ass pink bell bottoms. I mean, did you somehow invent a time travel machine and were on a ‘trip’ in the 70s. If so, please share your invention with the masses.
My dearest Coco, where are you anyhow? I always knew that Mr. CoCo, I mean Ice-T bragged about him being a P-I-M-P but shouldn’t you be sold to better hotels than your local Econo Lodge? I mean at least have your John’s splurge for the Days Inn… I’m just saying girl.. You know you could do so much better than that cheap telly. Sigh, I know he can afford better on that Law & Order salary. I’ve heard TV money is good.
Sincerely,
Now I’m blind

Ladies… Please take this as a warning… nothing should spread your va jay jay lips that far. No one wants to be able to see your lips in public, or in private here as Coco is, because i’m sure its just her and a john…I mean, unless your naked. No one wants to see va jay jay. I mean, I do think as a woman you should make sure that your jeans/pants feature your womanly assets. I mean you don’t want that baggy man crotch, but you damn sure don’t want your seam to be penetrating you. I mean seriously, she must not be doing any walking…
I love this commercial everytime I see, because its just so cute, without being too cheesy like those say no to drug public service announcements. I caught myself sitting on the couch one day singing, “those boys are much too much.” I like the fact that this shows a father daughter relationship, because those relationships are extremely important. Especially for black women, too many of us don’t have father figures at home. I think that all girls; white, black, asian, indian-whatever their ethnicity need strong male role models. It is these relationship that shape the relationships that we have with males for the rest of our lives. You find some women looking to fill a fatherly void and you sometimes wonder, “Well, what is she doing with him,” or sometimes you see the girl searching for it by bed hopping, looking for that male to take care of her. We see these tarnished relationships reflected in different ways every day. The same is with boys. Many boys need to have a male role model to show them how to fix things, how to be a man. Instead of having to grow up with this innate sense to be the “man of the house.” Like Janice Huber (The first Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel Air) said in her recent Essence.com article “I feel like there’s so much decadence in the world right now. I feel like our children have really been corrupted with sex and violence and the need to fit in [by adopting] the whole thug-wannabe, gang-wannabe [mentality]. The role models out there are really dangerous,” this is true. She is not speaking from a place of older versus younger. I am young and I believe this. So I try to be a role model for my younger cousins. But I do find it kind of sad that there has to be an initiative to promote fatherhood. It is sad, and frankly appalling. I mean, even like Barack Obama said during his fathers day speech, “any fool can make a baby.” And this goes for women too… any one can give birth, but it takes a true soul to stand up and be a parent. On the website for the National Fatherhood Initiative I saw that they were more than just public service announcements. They offer a variety of tools and resources for fathers in various settings. They had community based programs, healthcare programming, school programming military programming, corrections and christian based programming along with information for balancing work and family. I wonder how many people, who have children, have seen those commercials and really visited their website. It makes me no difference because I don’t have a child, but if I did…and they had the motherhood initiative, I’d check them out.
Disclaimer: This is solely my opinion and I don’t represent any one elses views or have any facts to back up my opinion…
So this weekend I went to see Jack Bauer, I mean Keifer Sutherland in the movie Mirrors. And I have to say that over the past few years I have lost faith in scary movies. So many have been . . . whack for lack of a better word. I can’t pretend that there haven’t some jewels:
The Saw series
The Hills Have Eyes
The Ring (only the first one)
But so many have been remakes of past movies or of popular Asian movies. I mean, movies in general have just lacked any sparkle of creativity. in the past 5 years there have been more remakes than original screenplays and more movies from comic books, cartoons and TV shows than successful blockbuster films, but yet actors are steadily making more and more money.
Anyway, I went on Saturday night to watch Mirrors, which I suspected was a remake of an Asian film and after some research yesterday found out it was, and it was good. The story features a down on his luck cop who takes a night job at an old department store. He begins to realize there is something fishy with the mirrors, and sets out to find out what is up before his family is destroyed or he is killed like others before him. Now, I enjoyed this movie but I still had several questions that I don’t want to ask in fear of giving too much away, but I am going to ask some. I wonder were the “mirrors” selective in who they chose to harass? And there are some questions I have about the ending, I mean how did he get there if . . . .?? And Is he dead or alive? I know they left it open to have room for a sequel, but dammit I need my questions answered. And I mean seriously, an abandoned burned-down department store in the middle of NYC is straight unrealistic. First off, Macy’s Herald Square would have put them out of business and secondly new yorkers aren’t much for Saks has the luxury game on lock. And why were they not rebuilding, if someone admits to arson the insurance would cover the damages. I’m jus saying-logistically I saw error in that. And then why hire patrolmen to protect burned merchandise?? Not well thought out or they cut those scenes.
As far as the acting-Keifer Sutherland is Jack Bauer in everything that he does. He would need to take a role like Nathan Lane in the birdcage for me to not see the Jack Baueresque-ness of him. Paula Patton as his wife wasn’t horrible, but in typical horror movie fashion she was wishy washy. Long periods of doubt followed by belief when she needed it. The son, he didn’t say much but he didn’t need to. There is always that one child who bonds with the alien/demon/creature and helps it- that’s him. And the daughter, I knew who she was from the CW show “the game.” She plays the biracial daughter of two main character and alas here she is also playing a biracial daughter.I guess she’s a good actor for a kid. I find it hard to be harsh to child actors…
Overall, I don’t regret spending the cash or the time to see this movie. It had me jumpy. Had the appropriate number of gory scenes to satisfy that blood craving you need with a horror film and the effects weren’t horrible. As long as they don’t go shuffling around the cast I guess I might.
I don’t know if everyone knows, but I have an addiction: to shoes. Preferably, heels that are 4 inches or better. Three and a half is nice, but four is wonderful. Anyway, once upon a time in a land I call “internet heaven” I purchased a pair of shoes from Steve Madden online. Ever since then they email me with new arrivals and clearance sales and the likes. So when I checked the email today, I saw that they have these shoes available for pre-order. I introduce you to SLASSSH. At first I was like wtf, and open toe boot. but the more I looked at them I saw the potential – Me, in a skirt showing a little leg, hair blowing in the wind. Oh yes, it was magic. OH, and I love the platform look in my heels, its a necessity. Makes for much more comfortable shoe wear. I also love a low boot because I have HUGE calves, so it is hard to find boots that will fit over the logs I call legs. Damn me for having perfectly sized feet, LOL!!! Now, I don’t believe in paying full price for anything. So I will NOT be pre-ordering anything. I will wait and see if they get sent to Macys and take advantage of my nice coupons or when Steve email’s me some new coupons for 10-20% off. I love SLASSSH but I love my sisters Sale and Clearance even more. So guys, these are on my wish list along with a few other choice shoes.
Finally, I have won something! I’d just like to thank everyone who headed over to phonesexlife.com and voted for me in the contest. If you’re unfamiliar with it, go check out the entries again, and just check out her blog, its infinitely cool! I mean, I didn’t come in first place, but second is pretty darn cool considering I like my prize, lol. As a second place winner I get a permanent link of My Girl Quest, a cool blog, some Entrecard credits, and one month on phonesexlife.com’s blogroll… So that’s exciting! Yay, I’m glad i wasn’t that one person who didn’t win a prize.
I am going to dub this duo the “North Jersey Ninjas” since Shinobi Warriors doesn’t work for me. I wonder if they received training watching Ninja Warrior on TV? That show really tests people physical strength. Anyhoo, here we have two ‘modern day’ ninjas, Tadieusz Tertikiewicz and Jesse Trojaniak, of Clifton, NJ. Side note, despite what people say New Jersey is a pretty damn popular state. It is mentioned in damn near every movie and we produce many great talents, none of which include these two. The mission of the North Jersey Ninjas is to rid the area of drug users and dealers because they feel it is their destiny to stop their “impure activities.” Talk about a “war on drugs.” These two prepared letters to leave at the houses of individuals they singled out, what measures they used to single them out, who knows. The letters stated”
“Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified yet merciful force.”
One of these letters had been delivered to the 16-year-old girlfriend of 20-year-old Tertkiewicz. I guess he dumped her because he wasn’t fond of her weed problem. I wonder if they have a problem with alcohol abuse because that can be pretty vile and sadistic. Drunks are usually more violent than crackies. Anyway, the North Jersey Ninjas have been apprehended and charged with weapons possession and Tertkie was charged with harassment too for sending his ex that letter I guess.
Its weird to have a modern day vigilante group who wants to stop people who have “committed the sin of passing impurity.” Who does uphold purity these days? Is it passing impurity for doctors to push perscription drugs for that’s that could be cured more naturally? Isn’t it impure of the meat industry to inject the food we eat full of hormones and then abuse the animals? Or to douse our produce with insecticides? Isn’t war impure? I mean, seriously, Ninja Vigilantes with a vendetta against drugs of all things! Its not like drugs aren’t a huge problem, but I don’t think threatening drug dealers is the way to get them to stop. They also stated in the letters, “wind guides us to those of impure heart and intent.” I wonder if they were guided in the direction of President Bush? Did they mail him a letter to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue because I know his heart is impure. What is up with all these crazy groups-you have the Westboro Baptist Church making a statement against Bernie Mac’s funeral all in the name of Christ. I thought the last vigilante group was the Klan, but even they are making a comeback. Well people, you should just remember, “the road to hell was paved with good intentions.”
So yesterday while I flipping through my September issue of Essence magazine while working out, I came across a one-page article about India Aire starring in a revival of Ntozake Shange’s “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.” I was so thrilled I damn near fell off the machine. I personally have not read the book, but I have heard how inspiriting it is, and what I have read from Ntozake I have loved. She is phenomenal. I think I am going to grab a copy of this book from amazon the next time I purchase a book. I have to keep an eye on this production because I absolutely have to see this. I really wanted to catch the all black revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof but I missed it, so if I miss this I will kill someone. I tried to google information, but couldn’t find any information dated after July 30. All the information said that India Aire’s debut will be postponed due to lack of funding.. I am praying that this comes to Broadway or off-Broadway because I need this in my life. For those who don’t know, “For Colored girls…” was First produced off-Broadway, the play soon moved onto Broadway at the Booth Theatre and won a number of awards, including the Obie Award, Outer Critics Award and the AUDELCO Award.

So, I am quite new to this blogging thing, and as you can see I am constantly changing and updating and growing. So todays lesson was finding out the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org. And i can say it wasn’t quite what I thought it was and I still have many questions. I found out because I had been trying to upload a plugin. and I read all this tutorials and help sites that just kept saying, “use a plugin with wordpress” never differentiating between .com and .org. So I followed allll the steps and still had no luck. So I then go back into the available forums and frequently asked questions and find that yes, you can use plug ins with wordpress, just not the wordpress I am using. So for now I will not have the plug ins that I am interested in, and will continue to work with what I got. Because after all, “If you lack what you need, then use what you’ve got.” I am perfectly happy here on my new wordpress.com home and I’m sure if the need be I can be guided on the steps to converting my .com home to .org home and assisted with a host and all that good stuff. But as it is, I am a rookie and just learning all the ropes and i am OK with that. After all, what can I do besides throw it up and watch it turn into sunshine
So, I joined a contest on one of my fellow blogger site, A Phone Sex LIfe, so now EVERYONE has to go vote for me. My entry is under the name of Desire.

And even if you don’t vote for me, which you should, at least vote for someone so that it makes it interesting!!
p.s. I need to find some cute catchy ending phrase, like how on Gossip girl, she’s always like “XOXO Gossip Girl.” Damn… any ideas.. Maybe I’ll hold a contest and we can vote on the best phrase .. Interesting idea .. I’ll definitely look into it…
Voting is until Saturday, so have fun exercising your right to vote! Vote Here!!!
Every time I’m updating my playlists on my iTunes I always wish that I could see if a song is already on a playlist and silently prayed for the iTunes Gods to add that user-friendly feature. And before I tell you about my blunder its important that I note one thing, I consider myself pretty iTunes savvy. So imagine my surprise when one day I right clicked on a song to see something and I noticed the options, add to playlist and shown in playlist. Usually when I add to a playlist I kinda just drag and drop. I’m also assuming that this isn’t a new feature since the last itunes update was for iPhone fixes and etc. So I felt like a complete idiot. Why didn’t anyone tell me this whenever I mentioned it. Now I’m wondering what other features, in Itunes and other programs, am I not taking advantage of. I mean, people call me for help with their iTunes problems. So how could I have missed this. I feel like I need to retake my itunes Tutorial. Sigh
Granny ain’t no joke!! I swear my grandmother would do something like this! This here is Leda Smith of Point Marion, PA and she don’t play. Leda was home chilling, probably watching reruns of Golden Girls on Lifetime or Judge Judy when someone broke into her house. So Leda went and got her gun(a .22 caliber revolver), which she had because there had been a string of robberies in her area, and busted that two-bit burglar. Wait! It doesn’t stop there! She then forced HIM to call the police while she kept him in her sights! She said, “I said, ‘what are you doing in my house?’ He just kept saying he didn’t do it.” Yeah, you didn’t do it, but yet you’re here underneath the head of my gun. I’m sure Leda fell for that one. The kid who did it was 17, this is what every teen delinquent needs-some hardcore old lady punishment. This particular kid will be facing criminal charges for attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court.
I can just picture this scene in my head. (this is how it goes, there is not truth here that I know of)
Leda in her floral armchair hears a noise upstairs in a room. She walks to her bedroom and grabs her gun, and rolls up on him real soft like. She points the gun at his head and says, “What are you doing in my house.” He freezes and holds his hands up and kinda whimpers, “I’m sorry.” So Leda then proceeds to tell him, get on the floor. And he drops to the floor lying on his stomach. And she takes her Dr. Scholls and then kicks his legs apart and kinda has him laying there eagle style. She then reaches for her nearest phone and hands him the phone. “Call 911.”
“Lady, I’m sorry can I please just go.”
“Boy you better to me, I said call.”
“Please, I didn’t do it. I swear it wasn’t me.”
She kicks him in the groin, “Call!”
“I’m sorry,” he says while crying.
Granny then holds the gun still on him while he tells the dispatchers what the situation is while crying. When they get there she tells them, “It was exciting. I felt like I was in a Chuck Norris movie.” Ok, she didn’t really say that, but she did say it was exciting.
So yesterday on my daily scroll of CNN I came across an article about some colleges and universities that hope to change the legal drinking age to 18 from 21. I think this is a bad, bad, bad idea. So I spoke to some of my friends and got their opinions on it-surprisingly many of them supported the idea, for a number of reasons. Many of them said that sure, since people sneak and do it or because if you can vote you can drink. If you can enlist you can drink. The universities that support this idea feel that by lowering the drinking age they will reduce instances of binge drinking.
I have a counter argument for each of those proposed reasons for supporting the reduction in the drinking age. While my logic may be flawed, it is still my opinion and I will try to explain it as best as I can. Let’s go.
So because people sneak and do it we should allow it? Last I knew, sneaking things was a part of growing up. You have not had a full adolescent experience unless you were sneaking something. And if you lower the drinking age to 18 you will have more people actually in high school drinking. Can you imagine 18 year old high school seniors (and juniors) drinking with 14 year old freshmen. I take peace of mind knowing that if my high school student is going to sneak and drink they worked hard their efforts to deceive me. An 18 year old is more likely to buy liquor for that underage 16 year old. A 21 year old, sure they may support their 18 year old friends drinking but not someone as young as 16. Because face it, in America there are a large portion of teenagers who are around 16 who are going to parties and drinking. But just because they do it, doesn’t mean we should condone it.
As far as being able to vote or enlist therefor you should be able to drink at 18, I cannot agree with that. Well, first things first. I don’t agree that 18 year olds should be able to enlist. They make these decisions very blindly, and recruiters prey on young high school kids with the promise of a free college education if they enroll for some fake ass sense of patriotism. It is bullshit. Perhaps that is why I don’t think its just to say if you can enlist you can drink. Because a lot of 18 year olds who enlist do regret it and are just there serving out what they’ve locked themselves into.
People are more informed when casting a ballot than they are about the consequences of drinking. I bet if I asked an 18 year old about Barack they could answer that more quickly than what are the repercussions of alcohol poisoning is or what the legal limit is when it comes to drinking and driving. It is about awareness.
The colleges that are pushing for the Amethyst Act are not doing so from an altruistic point of view. They are looking to alleviate their liability in instances where drinking occurs on campus. It is easier to fight for the lowering of the drinking age than to police students more heavily. No one wants to be the bad guy. Let’s talk about teens and driving. Teens are responsible for a large number of accidents. Lowering the drinking age will lead to more instance of accidents and higher rates of drunk driving. Because face it, teenagers think they are indestructible. Hell, sometimes I do at my age. Expect to see drunkteens, texting and driving while smoking a cigarette talking to their friends in the car.
But I do know who is in favor of this.. call Anheuser-Busch and see if they object.
I may be one of 5 people who are looking forward to Solange’s album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams. I loved the first single, “I Decided” and I just saw this video this morning, and I like i too. In certain parts of the video you REALLLLLYYYY see the family resemblance between her & her ever famous sister Beyonce. I love how Solange plays on the shit people talk about her, in the video she’s singing atop a can of Solange, Can I sing soup… amusing. And she has this freestyle out to the industry, “Signed Sincerely” which I really like. So, she has found a fan in me… And because of that, on August 26th, I will download her album with glee… I mean, I did think of pre-ordering it at amazon.com because its like 7.00…
Oh, and I was totally loving the video until like the last minute, where she is wearing this yellow green frock that looks like Big Bird’s feathers with a splash of Gatorade. Horrible!!! she needs to fire her mother as her stylist!!
Once upon a time I lived off of caramel iced coffees from DD. But over the past few months I’ve been relying on the Green Mountain coffee provided by the convenience store at my job. But every so often I manage to still get my beloved coffee from the Dunkin. So yesterday, I was visiting my hometown, and it was about 5 pm and I said hey, I haven’t had my coffee today. So I went to the one that was closest. I pull into the drive thru of the combo Baskin Robbins/ Dunkin donuts and I say to the speaker ” can I have a medium caramel iced coffee with skim milk and sugar.” Nice nd polite. I should have known something was going to go amuck when she asked me how many sugars. No one had ever asked me that in all the years I’d been drinking these iced coffees. So, I spurted out 3 because a medium iced coffee is pretty big and I wasn’t sure. But as I approached the window to pay I was full of dread that the iced coffee would be too sweet. Thinking to myself all that sugar and caramel syrup I’m gonna have diabetes. I wonder if it’ll be finished when I get to the window, if not i’ll tell her only two. They really have never asked me how many sugars I wanted.
So I pull to the window and the lady says my total is 2.77. I look at her with my blank face, which I reserve for stupid people, and I say for an iced coffee. She, being the ever so professional DD attendant is like “yup, wanna see your receipt.” I laughed because its not like I didn’t believe her but I was taken aback by the increase in cost from my local DD, where my iced coffee only cost me 1.99. I mean, I realized the cost of damn near everything has increased, but sheesh an increase of sixty cents for a coffee.
Today I was robbed by DD. Don’t they regulate the prices to have some sort of consistency in their stores, or can managers hike up prices and justify it on a sinking economy, and if the economy is so bad why hasn’t the coffee anywhere else gone up??? Yes indeed, today I was robbed.
And the coffee wasn’t that good. Over priced DD didn’t shake it so my ingredients would mix well. Glad I didn’t go for that donut too.

So in my world, Thursdays have recently become “Spin Class Thursday.” So every week no matter how tired I am and I drag my ass to the 6:45 pm Spin Class at my gym.

Not in a “Oh my god! we worked our glutes hard today,” kinda way, but in a “Damn, my ass is sore kinda way.” No matter how softly I try to come down on my seat, that damn piercing seat makes my ass hurt.

Now I’m wondering what other features, in Itunes and other programs, am I not taking advantage of. I mean, people call me for help with their iTunes problems. So how could I have missed this. I feel like I need to retake my itunes Tutorial. Sigh
Granny ain’t no joke!! I swear my grandmother would do something like this! This here is Leda Smith of Point Marion, PA and she don’t play. Leda was home chilling, probably watching reruns of Golden Girls on Lifetime or Judge Judy when someone broke into her house. So Leda went and got her gun(a .22 caliber revolver), which she had because there had been a string of robberies in her area, and busted that two-bit burglar. Wait! It doesn’t stop there! She then forced HIM to call the police while she kept him in her sights! She said, “I said, ‘what are you doing in my house?’ He just kept saying he didn’t do it.” Yeah, you didn’t do it, but yet you’re here underneath the head of my gun. I’m sure Leda fell for that one. The kid who did it was 17, this is what every teen delinquent needs-some hardcore old lady punishment. This particular kid will be facing criminal charges for attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court.
