I always tell everyone that I don’t listen to the radio because it sucks. Well, its true. Lately I’ve been letting the alarm radio run while I get ready for work in the mornings. I’ve been listening to Ed Lover and his crew’s morning show on Power 105.1 fm and I enjoy it when they are talking. It’s the music that kills me. The radio runs from 7:05 am to 8:05 am and in that hour, Monday through Friday, I hear the same 5 songs. What the hell, with all the music out there, you can only play 5 songs during this hour? The songs usually are:
1. Usher – Trading Places: I liked this song until I was forced to listen to it daily. Now I just want you to be you and go home…
2. Ron Brown – Pop Champagne: I think Skillz had it right when he said, “we in a recession you ain’t poppin’ shit.” HA!
3. Neyo – Mad: yeah.. I’m not going to bed mad, but I have woken up mad because this song is always on.
4. Jamie Foxx/Ne-Yo/Fabolous – She got her own: I think this song is ok, but when he says, “she takes pride in saying she paid for it” I snark and say, NOT ME. I enjoy saying it was a gift, it makes me feel loved. And I get to save my money… I’m just sayin… You can be “independent” and know how to graciously accept gifts . .
5. T.I. ft. Rihanna – Live ya Life: UGH.. Why hasn’t Rihanna fell off the face of the earth yet?
To be fair, the 5th song varies from time to time, but the rotation circle is pretty slim. Maybe I’m only meant for talk radio. If Ed Lover doesn’t do something about this, he’s going to lose the coveted AM drive time slot to Mr. Steve Harvey over on WBLS. Steve is awesome in the morning and WBLS has a better musical selection. ED if you’re reading this: HE’S COMING FOR YOU! (as if you care).

What better way to talk about random things than with a Far Side comic strip…
Random Ramblings..
1. I commute now to work since I recently moved. I noticed a few things, besides the fact that most people cannot drive.
-yellow cars almost always drive fast. If ever you are in a rush-get behind a yellow car (not to be confused with a taxi)
-People do NOT know how to merge. Merging creates the absolute worse traffic congestions. I avoid routes with heavy mergers because I hate sitting in traffic and I don’t like to let people in front of me.
-living farther away I am actually more punctual for work than I am when I lived ten minutes away. Go figure.
-I’m overly aware of rises and drops in gas prices. AND I now try to make sure I pay cash for gas since it is normal now to charge two different prices for cash and card, which think is highway robbery. WHO THE FUCK CARRIES CASH!! WTF!! I miss my old EXXon I used to go to, it was same price.
-Is EZpass really that easy? I mean kinda, yes when you’re going through those like big 7 lane EZpass sections, but other times, I debate about it. I mean yes, only have to slow to 15 mph is better than a complete stop, but why can’t I zoom though at like 45? That would be even more convenient. I’m just saying! But it is great to know that when I’m down to my last 2 dollars, I don’t have to save $1 for my toll.
I thought of a lot more while I was driving home from work today, but for some reason now I can’t think. FREAK! I will update this as I get the new ideas..
2. Things I found wrong with the Notorious Movie.
-This “biopic” had no point. Yes, we are telling the story of Christopher Wallace, but from who’s view. Was it how his mother saw him? How his friends saw him? I felt that this lack of vision really hurt the (barely there) plot line.
-Anti-Climatic.. yes, I knew everything about him. I knew he sold drugs, I knew he got “discovered” by Puff and that him and Pac were cool. The point of a biopic/biography/whatever you want to call it is to let people know something they didn’t know about the character. Give them the hidden details that they secretly are dying to know. Although in this paparazzi age nothing is a secret.
3. They movie neglected to have any real relationships developed. He met Kim, fucked her. If him and Puff were BOOYYYZZZZ like Puffy portrays that wasn’t shown in the movie. Him & Faiths relationship wasn’t even developed. This made for loopholes. I mean, one minute him & faith were fighting the next she had a baby. WTF!! I’m glad this movie didn’t get my duckets!
-Derek Luke is better than this. Seriously. WTF man. I love you!! Why are you playing Puffy? seriously??? All the other acting was cool… And Angela Basset. why? Ur getting ER money now!!! And was this really a passion project? Lemme know girl!
3. Why the hell is winter in full force? It is colder than Alaska’s uncle out there. Damn global climate change. Naturally here on the East coast we have cold winters, but this one has been brutal. I’m deeply saddened.
4. the other day I was driving and I saw PeptoBismo pink stretch Hummer… I mean seriously.. did you really need to put an obnoxious car in such an obnoxious color? Why must you torment my eyes.
5. I signed up for a class this semester. And yay, I’m excited but I reallized I have an undergraduate mentality in a grad School world. I need to get reacclimated and adjusted quick before I realize I wasted my money! I am excited for learning and using my brain, but not for having to read so much in 3 days.
6. The economy is NOT an excuse for everything. “Officer I was speeding, but you know.. blame the economy.”
7. speaking of tickets, I got a ticket in the mail after New Years, at my old apartment. The ticket says the offense occured on 10/3, but was dated 12/29. And mailed to me on January 6th. What kind of blasphemy is this shit? How do I dispute something that happned 32 years ago? Being that they lost my ticket for so long, I’m losing theirs. which probably isn’t the best idea, but I’m satisfied that its a great retaliatory act.

So, with all the movies I want to see I ended up at the movies on Saturday seeing my bloody valentine because my friend saw everything else. MBV is a 3-D Slasher film, however we weren’t able to see it in 3-d we had to settle for regular. If a movie is released in 3d all theaters should have to honor that. But I digress.. Here is my review, I will try not to spoil it for everyone… too much..
The only person I recognized fully in this was the guy Kerr Smith, who was on Dawson’s Creek and he was on Charmed, so he stood out. All the others had faces that looked familiar, but I couldn’t place. Although the main character was definitely sexy, his voice was yummy! LOL! Lots of gore in this movie, from the very beginning. This is where they give the initial action that leads to the course of events 10 years later. They definitely should have developed this more, spent maybe another 15 minutes on it or something. There are some loopholes here. Why did Harry Warren go biserk? What led to the initial Valentine’s Day Massacre? What Harry Warden did was insane! I was gripping my seat like ” Oh no he DIDN”T!” But I’d still like to know why, that loophole bothers me. But Slasher movies come with many loopholes, they are not known for seriously strong plots. Oh, did I mentions this was a remake, I didn’t know that until I IMDB’ed it, which lets you know of course that as with The Day the Earth Stood Still I did not see the original. Ok. So basically something tragic happens and fast forward ten years later something else tragic happens which is what the movie is about.
This film is Rated R… guess what, there is some full frontal nudity… I was SHOCKED. I was not expecting that, hell I hadn’t even heard of this movie until it was suggested. Homegirl fights the killer -NUDE! Why do all killers have to have a one piece uniform/mask-think Michael Myers in his button up or zip up thing… and think Jason in his overalls… why do they follow this formula. I mean, in this movie I guess it works because you aren’t sure who the killer is, but Jason & Mike have been killed like 42 thousand times… what gives?
OK, back to the review without giving too much up… Basically this film follows most of the standard slasher film rules-confused girl over who the killer is, lots of gore, twist at the end. But it works.. and it works well. I did not meet one person who saw it this weekend who said it was bad. Must be the 3d! Check it out and tell me what you thought of it..

Ok.. here is my Inauguration coverage, and maybe the end of the ObamaRama that has been plaguing us for the past year or two. I am kind of happy that the election is over and the inauguration too. I am happy with the experience and am ready to actually see “CHANGE” in process. I know its not going to be tangible right now, but I’m tired of all the talk. I wish the Obama’s the best of luck, and I really am super proud of having been able to witness this in my young life.
So, Kitty over @ Kittybradshaw.com (thanks again for the tip!) told me about this letter making its net rounds from the Bush girls to the Obama girls. So I did my digging and found it over at the Washington Journal’s site. No matter what the Bush girls do with their lives I will always think of them as raging drunks.. but then again that’s how I think of most people, LOL. But after reading the letter, I think the most valuable thing they could have said was about not seeing your father through the worlds eyes, but by your own eyes. He’s a father first then the President. Although that may get lost over time and in translation its a very real statement to make. And although the Obama girls, Sasha and Malia, are very young they are entering foreign territory. The Bush girls kinda knew what was ahead from when their Grandfather was president.
This letter should have focused on the pressures that now await them in their growing years. I mean, all that stuff about friends and museums was great and fine, but no one can prepare them on how to deal with your teenage years, and teenage rebellion, under the watchful eye of not only the secret service but from the American People. And, honestly, Sasha & Malia have it worse being the first African-American (or Black whatever you prefer to call it) first children. There is twice as much, hell 3 times as much, pressure on them. The world will be waiting for them to make one wrong step. Sad but true…
Here’s their letter:
Sasha and Malia, we were seven when our beloved grandfather was sworn in as the 41st President of the United States. We stood proudly on the platform, our tiny hands icicles, as we lived history. We listened intently to the words spoken on Inauguration Day service, duty, honor. But being seven, we didn’t quite understand the gravity of the position our Grandfather was committing to. We watched as the bands marched by — the red, white, and blue streamers welcoming us to a new role: the family members of a President.
We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children. We stood on the North Lawn gazing with wonder at her grand portico. The White House was alive with devoted and loving people, many of whom had worked in her halls for decades. Three of the White House ushers, Buddy, Ramsey, and “Smiley”, greeted us when we stepped into her intimidating hallway. Their laughter and embraces made us feel welcome right away. Sasha and Malia, here is some advice to you from two sisters who have stood where you will stand and who have lived where you will live:
– Surround yourself with loyal friends. They’ll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.
– If you’re traveling with your parents over Halloween, don’t let it stop you from doing what you would normally do. Dress up in some imaginative, elaborate costume (if you are like us a pack of Juicy Fruit and a Vampiress) and trick-or-treat down the plane aisle.
– If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for “Smiley.”
– And, a note on White House puppies–our sweet puppy Spot was nursed on the lawn of the White House. And then of course, there’s Barney, who most recently bit a reporter. Cherish your animals because sometimes you’ll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide.
– Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.
– When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.
– In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!
For four years, we spent our childhood holidays and vacations in the historic house. We could almost feel the presence of all the great men and women who had lived here before us. When we played house, we sat behind the East sitting room’s massive curtains as the light poured in illuminating her yellow walls. Our seven-year-old imaginations soared as we played in the enormous, beautiful rooms; our dreams, our games, as romantic as her surroundings. At night, the house sang us quiet songs through the chimneys as we fell asleep.
In late December, when snow blanketed the front lawn, all of our cousins overtook the White House. Thirteen children between the ages of two and 12 ran throughout her halls, energized by the crispness in the air and the spirit of the season. Every room smelled of pine; the entire house was adorned with thistle; garlands wound around every banister. We sat on her grand staircase and spied on the holiday dancing below. Hours were spent playing hide-and-go-seek. We used a stage in the grand ballroom to produce a play about Santa and his reindeer. We watched as the National Christmas Tree was lit and admired the chef as he put the final icing on the gingerbread house.
When it was time, we left the White House. We said our goodbyes to her and to Washington. We weren’t sure if we would spend time among her historical walls again, or ever walk the National Mall, admiring the cherry blossoms that resembled puffs of cotton candy. But we did return. This time we were 18. The White House welcomed us back and there is no doubt that it is a magical place at any age.
As older girls, we were constantly inspired by the amazing people we met, politicians and great philosophers like Vaclav Havel. We dined with royalty, heads of states, authors, and activists. We even met the Queen of England and managed to see the Texas Longhorns after they won the National Championship. We traveled with our parents to foreign lands and were deeply moved by what we saw. Trips to Africa inspired and motivated us to begin working with HIV/AIDS and the rights of women and children all over the world.
Now, the White House ballrooms were filled with energy and music as we danced. The East sitting room became a peaceful place to read and study. We ran on the track in the front lawn, and squared off in sisterly bowling duels down in the basement alley.
This Christmas, with the enchanting smell of the holidays encompassing her halls, we will again be saying our good-byes to the White House. Sasha and Malia, it is your turn now to fill the White House with laughter.
And finally, although it’s an honor and full of so many extraordinary opportunities, it isn’t always easy being a member of the club you are about to join. Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were seven: as our loving daddy. Our Dad, who read to us nightly, taught us how to score tedious baseball games. He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV. Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: remember who your dad really is.
Jenna Bush is a writer and educator, the author of the book ‘Ana’s Story’ and the co-author, with her mother Laura Bush, of the picture book ‘Read All About It.’
Barbara Bush works for a public health-focused non-profit, Global Health Corps, and previously worked for The Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

I’ve mentioned BlogXilla here before because the guy who writes that is pretty dope with his content and stuff. With my move and everything I haven’t had time to read regularly, so I’m catching up on stuff today and read his 4 chicks you will meet on myspace. I think they were pretty general, but very on point. It made me think of what type of chick am I? Which Myspace stereotype do I fall into.
First let’s outline the 4 he describes:
1. The One-line Chick: Definitely not me. In fact I hate when guys like this hit me up. why did YOU hit ME up if you don’t have nothing to say?
2. The Designer Fashion Chick: Definitely not me… Well except for the use of alliteration, I love alliteration but I try not to use it in a materialistic way. I like to combine alliteration with personification to think of creative myspace names.. lol. And I do NOT type in caps unless I feel the need to express strong emotion! LOL
3. The Cool Chick: Now this is me (or at least what I think is me) I’m pretty cool & down to earth and I love to post my favorite songs no matter how unpopular they may be. And just because I think I’m pretty awesome…
4. The Single Mother: very broad category. She can be cool as hell or total gold digging psycho!!
I like his general categories, but he doesn’t speak much about them inter-mixing (hahaha is that a word?? oh well I’m keeping it). For instance its very highly possible that a #4 can be a #1. And you can have a label obsessed seemingly cool chick. She is just more discreet. All these types are very real, I know I get so sick of seeing “MS. She got her own” or “America’s Next Top Model” So… biting… I I think we should have the type of guy you meet off myspace..
Guy you will meet on myspace:
1. The man who wants to hit it. All men consider women they meet on myspace jump-offs. Do not expect a relationship to develop from a man you meet off myspace, especially if several women are commenting on his page calling him “baby”, “boo”, “babe” or any other term of endearment. These men have no scrupples. They want you to call them after they send you a first message saying “Whats Up?” Now, there are rare instances of other situations. But please tread carefully ladies! LOL

From Parade Magazine.. Obama’s Open Letter to His Daughters:
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn’t make up for all the time we’ve been apart. I know how much I’ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.
I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.
That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.
She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It’s a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.
I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you’ve had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love,
Dad
This was touching.. Its crazy.. by this time next week, he will officially be our president, not the President-Elect. I am excited and nervous about whats in store for the American future. I believe in what I interpret his vision to be, and can’t wait to experience the next few years. If you think about it, this is the next great era, there are going to be countless books and memoirs about this monumental time in US history. This is big.

So, back before Christmas I blogged about the Campbell family from New Jersey who had beef with ShopRite over a birthday cake. A brief recap is that these idiots named their children after the Nazi Regime. They have a son named Adolf Hitler Campbell, 2 daughters named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Campbell. Well today, I was directed to a Yahoo article that said that these children have been removed from the home-a home decorated with Swastikas and other Nazi paraphernalia. I couldn’t have been happier. These people are fucking nuts! And this is what happens when you bring all this unnecessary attention to yourself. The article doesn’t state why they were removed because its against policy, but it should say because the parents were idiots! They should have let ShopRite have their stance and move on. But NO! They thought they would garner some attention and probably eventually lead to a lawsuit.. FOOLED YOU!
For the sake of the validity of the removal of the children I hope that the Division of Child & Family Services (DYFS) has a better legal basis than the fact that they hold blatant racial beliefs and named their children cruel names. Everyone always wonders what is really in a name. A name is everything. It is the first thing people see on a piece of paper when your applying for a job or college or even a loan. I have joked that I need to go by my initials and my last name because I feel that my name isn’t the best name out there, and we can deny it all we want-people believe in stereotypes. The name Lashenique Thomas will get over looked no matter how qualified she is for things… so imagine the shit Adolf Hitler would have went through…

What is wrong with TV? With Viacom in particular.. First they bombarded people with the Flavor Flav show, Flavor of Love. Then it was Rock of love, For the LOVE Of money. Fuck LOVE! OR at least the Viacom STD filled version of LOVE! I guess its really the production company, 51 minds productions fault, but damn Viacom keeps buying them!
The next real chance at love (ha, look @ that!) is for Ray-J, you know, “ain’t that Brandy’s brother” Ray-J, and its called…. “For the Love of RAy-J. Yes, these folks who get paid the big money are so creative. They are getting paid millions of dollars while the people responsible for teaching our children. WTF! This festival of famewhoring begins on Feb 2nd.. Basically a bunch of random chicks searching for reality TV fame are competing to be the “ride or die” chick for the dick that banged Kim Kardashian. (side note: I heard that the sex tape was ok… that his tool was noteworthy…).
This skanky version of the Bachelor will be filled with all types of Tom Foolery I’m sure. Ok, Let’s go over the names of the unlucky 14 clinic patients. Why do they need to give all these ho’s nicknames? And who the hell thinks of them? What ever happened to just being Nancy Sue and being calling you that.. Nicknames have to be earned, or at least to me. I hate when I just meet someone and they are like can I call you XXX for short.. I’m always like NO, you can call me XXXXXXX or nothing at all…
(pics can be viewed over on VH1)
1. Atomic Bomb-she kinda looks like Hoops from Flavor of Love season 1…
2. Cashmere
3. Caviar: why would you want to be associated with fish no matter how expensive it can be…
4. Cocktail: raging drunk of the house?
5. Danger: pretty girl who fucked up her face with a tattoo… Now I love tattoos, have 3 and will prob get more, but NEVER… EVER!! on my goddamn face!! she should have been named stupid..
6.Fiesty
7. Genuine: standard plus size girl…
8. Hot Cocoa
9. Lil’ Hood: why do people continually want to be associated and stigmatized as hood? NEWSFLASH: HOOD PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO BE HOOD!!!!!
10. Naturalle
11. Stacks 12. Stilts
13. Unique
14. Chardonnay: ???? word??
If you want to lose some brain cells.. go ahead.. watch.. but please.. when your eyes begin to bleed.. don’t call me…

OH HELL NO!!
I love/loved www.tickle.com. So imagine my surprise today when I decided I was going to go get my test on and they were closed. IDK what sparked this. They had some good ass tests on their site. I have a folder in my Gmail dedicated to my Tickle results. I have my sexual persona, my personality type, and my subconscious mind among others.
Formerly known as Emode.com, Tickle was founded on the belief that personal insight and connections to others could be both scientific and fun. Tickle was the leading interpersonal media company, providing self-discovery, and social networking services. Their results, if you answered as honestly as possible with the choices, were usually so on point. I read online that they had psychology and marketing experts from Harvard, Yale, Duke, Northeastern, Washington University in St. Louis, SUNY at Albany, and The University of Kansas on staff. I remember when it used to be eMode.com too, LOL. I wonder what the site upkeep was there? They had over 200 tests, some PHd Certified.
If you type in tickle.com they will refer you to other career based sites, but its just not the same. The biggest one they are boosting is TestQ.com, which doesn’t seem as fun or interesting. Sigh.. I’m sad.. I guess I’ll head over to blogthings.com and b.s. over there…

So.. ladies (and maybe a few gents, you never know) now there is a new use for that ‘thing’ you got last week at the “Pleasure Party.” I found this at one of my favorite blogs, Dlisted.com (written by Micheal K, who I don’t know but I feel like I do because he’s hilarious) and I had to share this with you guys! A vibrator ashtray! Who would do this? Who woke up and said you know what, I think this penis and clit stimulator would make a great ash tray? Do they use it for both purposes? Or is it a situation where they got a new one, and they were like hey, why waste money? I’m confused.. And what room of the house is this? Is this a centerpiece, does it spark conversation? But most importantly, EW! smoking kills! (and this could lead to an infection.. smoke remnants all in the va-jay-jay).
Second… According to Page Six (via Dlisted for me) some man wants to paint a 6 foot nude Rachel Ray, using oils and PAPRIKA! Pap-muthaf’in-Rika! I think I have heard about all the different artistic methods now. I guess its a good thing you can get Paprika for like 99 cents. But I wonder will he vary it up with some Smoked Paprika, to give her that smoky glow in certain areas. The artist name is Alex Gardega, and he must be crazy obsessed. I mean don’t get me wrong, 30 minute meals is my ish. I avidly watch,between 6pm-7 almost daily! But I could never see this, it would ruin my view of her as this wholesome cheesy food network girl… I just can’t imagine this…

Old people are not playing when it comes to protecting themselves. I guess they figure that someone’s got to do it… A few months ago I posted about Leda Smith from PA who apprehended a burglar in her home. She held him at gunpoint and made HIM call the police. Leda must have called her girl Sandra in Michigan and told her to get one in case she gets robbed because Sandra did the same damn thing.
Sandra was home on Sunday night splitting wood for her fire and making vegetable soup when she heard ruckus (her words not mine, I swear. I say fuckery not ruckus) outside. When she heard the ruckus, which included footsteps around her yard and deck, she grabbed her gun and called 911. A few minutes later Cyrus Brown bust through her Patio door. Apparently his car hit a utility pole and he then decided to break in? What happened to knocking and asking to use the phone. That’s what usually happens, well not anymore because you can still get shot doing that. Sandra said, “Immediately, I felt there was danger because he was so desperate.” I have never met a non-desperate robber, well i don’t know any robbers, but I assume you have to be to break into someones home. Or just plain trifling. Sandra, feeling this danger from this desperate man told him to get down on the floor, and if he came any closer she would shoot to kill. She also wanted to see his hands at all times. Is she a retired cop? Or was her hubby? They have the 911 recording out there where you can here her demanding him to get down. Granny 2 wasn’t playing. She said forget to injure you, I’m going to kill your ass.
Sandra was really happy to have had a gun because she heard about people dying in their own homes, but she wasn’t trying to go out like that. However, apparently she hurt her poor little aged heart. All the excitement has landed her in the hospital. So I wonder if she can sue him for damages? Why didn’t he turn around and run when he saw her gun?
I can imagine Sandra in the hospital getting daps from her girls. They are all like “You go girrrrlll.” My favorite quote of the article was her friend, “Don’t mess with the gray haired people! We still got a lot of fight in us.” CLASSIC!
