Men, foot care is not just a female worry, so even if you don’t go and let a professional do it please take the time do it yourself. I know there are some stigmas and stereotypes that surround men who go out and get pedicures, but I say damn all that. Some straight guys say its a “homo” thing to do.. but how do they figure. Pedicures come with a foot and lower leg massage, full nail care, callus treatment, and moisturizing so unless your getting some nail polish I don’t see how that makes it in any way gay. I mean, most men enjoy a nice massage, sooo… what’s the problem..
Here is where this thought began to ruminate, just so you don’t think I’m coming out of left field. When I was on vacation it happened to rain a lot. So one day, I’m sitting on a step, avoiding the rain waiting for my ride, and this group of 4 guys walks over to the area also trying to avoid the rain. Being that I was sitting down, I had a good view of their footwear/feet. When I turned my head I saw the ugliest pair of man feet EVER!! So, being the person that I am, I had to sneak a picture. I managed to finagle around him to get a picture of his feet. HE caught me, but not before I snapped a pic for you guys.. check it:
So after he catches us he begins to ask me and my friend do we think his friend is cute. “No, but we think you’re feet are sexy!!!” And we died laughing. The sad thing is, he wasn’t a bad looking guy at all, but his feet looked like they belonged to a 65 year old man. There is nothing sexy about Chewbacca feet. Get it together guys.
Why should you care about a foot care regimen? Um, well it will prevent the funky odor and women appreciate that. If you want a foot massage you better not have nasty ass gnarly toes poking out! And if you take care of your feet you can avoid calluses. I’m just saying guys! If not for yourself do it for others! If I can keep myself groomed so can you. If you don’t get pedicures, please own a toe nail clipper. Thanks!
In all my teenage glory I used to be an avid droolee fan of Allen “The Answer” Iverson. My high school years were full of Sixers Jerseys and Cleo Iverson written in notebooks. I thought he was just the best thing since sliced bread. I watched every playoff game, Olympic game and All Star game that featured my future husband. My best friend also had a crush on him too, and we could both lament over his sexiness.
Fast Forward a few years and the Allen Iverson of today is merely a shadow of the man he used to be. I came across an article question whether AI would be signed next year as he enters free agency due to his last failed attempts at leading other teams. I would love to say, “Sure why wouldn’t he?” gloating on his greatness as a player but unfortunately as I got older (and my lust for him died down) I didn’t follow his career as much and unfortunately I heard more critiques of him than praise on television. He was accused of being a ball hog and a sore sport among other things which have led to his demise.
I question, why is it OK for Kobe to be a ballhog but not AI? Is it because the league leaders fancy Kobe as the second coming of Jordan? (oh wait, that was BEFORE Lebron came along). Is it because Kobe’s antics don’t prevent his time from living up to the glorious Laker legend? Or is it because his coach wants him to be that way? I don’t know, nor do I care so much to figure it out because I’m a bit of a Kobe hater, but either way, we all know that its all a matter of media perception and if Kobe can survive a huge rape trial what’s Iverson’s problem? Is it the same problem the NBA/Media has with Marbury. They are assholes. They aren’t as charismatic as people perceive Kobe to be. Is it fair to him to lose his thunder because he can’t play well with others? Yeah. In case Iverson forgot bball is a team sport, which I guess is the one thing Kobe sometimes reminds himself.
I do feel bad for Iverson. It sucks to fall so far from glory. I mean, after the Sixers he failed tragically at Denver & Detroit (double D’s!!!) and now he risks not being signed at all and with his famous attitude I don’t know if he’d even line up an announcer position, what would he do next?
I’ll tell you what he needs to do. Get his goddamn act in gear. Be the player you used to be. Realize that not all critique is bad. You many need to fall back and be a support player to be able to come back to fame. A good leader knows when to follow and he needs to adopt that mantra. If Robery Downy Jr. can comeback and Chris “The Birdman” Andersen can come back after leaving for a drug binge for 2 years, you can have an attitude adjustment. I mean seriously, if you love the game (and I know you do AI) you’ll suck it up.
How bad is it that the article’s author has said that he wouldn’t even select AI for his pick up basketball game because of his ball hogging! It just goes to show, attitude is everything. Ok, I’m done my rant, which may not be totally accurate or concise, but it was how I was feeling after I read the article.
Keyshia Cole, LOVE HER! – Something about her rocks my world! And not in a sexual way! This is an excerpt sxomeone posted of an interview she did with Sister 2 Sister Mag, my granny used to subscribe to that magazine. It was pretty cool.
Sugar High – How much sugar is 19g really? How does your food stack up? Thanks @onebaddboo!
What is Good Hair? – So this is an ongoing topic for many people! Tyra was talkin about it on her show and then I saw this article, I haven’t read it in its entirety but I plan to as soon as I get a chance. I mean, I’m so sick of people telling me I have “good hair.” WTF is that???
Everyone is always trying to be a star or some sort of “celebrity” to gain fame. What is America’s obsession with instant fame? And why do us non-famous people feed into the madness? I have been ruminating on the idea of everyone wanting to be a celebrity for about a week now and then it re-emerged today while listening to the radio, so when that happens I have to share my thoughts, I mean it would be WRONG not to, right??
If you don’t believe that everyone wants to be a pseudo-celebrity all you have to do is look on Myspace and see everyone with hundreds of pics (half of them in their bathroom mirror) with captions like “please stop hating” or “you know you want it” and further proof can be found in the countless girls consistently going to clubs just to pose for pics on allniteparties.com or 7days7nights.com or whatever Club Photographer is there that night. This is just getting out of hand. I blame people like Paris Hilton & Kim Kardashian who are famous for being rich and don’t do anything but pose for pics. These girls (I’m sorry I can’t call all of them women) are trying to emulate that! And then I blame people like Tila Tequila who’s claim to fame is having the most Myspace friends and then getting a reality show. Then you havepeople like New York from Flavor of Love. IF people stop watching and supporting this crap it would go away. So now everyone is trying to claim reality show fame or internet glory. Newsflash: you’re not a celebrity. Celebs don’t take their own pictures, others do! You’re just being an attention whore!
Next up, groupie book writers. I thought this was to be a craft stuck to by video slores who screw for screen time and scorned baby mothers, but apparently everyone thinks they deserve a tell-all. Why do we care what position she screwed Little Wayne in? Why do you care if he licked her back with a tongue ring?? Seriously? And they aren’t really writing it. They are describing these situations with as much detail as they can muster up and someone else is penning it. I wish this blasphemy would stop. The last straw for me was this morning, I was listening to the radio and apparently some guy got beat up on the stage with Snoop Dogg and his crew…So now he wrote a book. WTF? So you want to write a tell all about getting your ass kicked? Seriously? Rick Ross’s baby mother has a book. Who cares??? So what you screwed the fat man and got knocked up?? I’m sorry. I will not spend my time or my hard earned money on this crap! This is a disgrace to REAL literature everyone. And this is why no one wants to read non-fiction anymore, its convoluted with all this mockery of real stories. Bitches wanna get rich for being a slut. Newsflash: now your a prostitute!!! Sex in exhange for money. Tsk Tsk
Sorry, I went off on a tangent.
Please help to stop the madness! I’m not going to pretend that I don’t want to “make-it” as a writer, blogger or whatever I decide to be a killer rock-star in. But I’m going to work damn hard at it, and I’m going to value my privacy. I like being the person invited to things and having people wonder, “Hey, who’s she. Why is she here, what does she do?” Mystery is great!
OMG! I just LOL’ed during this whole video. Lebron + Kobe as puppets is funny. I’m an avid Lebron fan and I think he’s a comedian in many of his commercials.. & he just made MVP! Go BOO! (yes..I would make babies with Lebron, I think he’s sexy, don’t judge me!!!)
Oh HELL YES!!! This shoe is my shoe-fantasy. It’s everything I could ever want all wrapped up into one overly expensive shoe. Alejandro Ingelmo’s Mitra sandal is fantaboulsly awesomely amazing!
This shoe has it all:
-5 inch heel
-Peep toe pump
-Leather
-Mary Jane style
-Hidden platform
Please tell me what is NOT to like about this shoe? OMG. They have freaking ROSE GOLD detailing! I have a shoe similar to these, Steve Madden Reede, and now I feel jipped There is a reason shoes like this are so damn expensive ($795), so I don’t drain my savings account. Fan-FREAKING-tastic! I want this shoe in my life so much. But unfortunately I won’t have it unless it goes on a 90% off sale.. Sadness has engulfed me . . . .
At first I was just going to post a few of the lines that I felt were inspirational to me, but then I decided I’d be doing everyone a disservice by that. So here it is, the Desiderata. There is some debate about whether this actually was first discovered in a church in 1692. After a little digging on the internets, I decided the folks at snopes.com were reliable enough, and they said NO! Apparently it was written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann. Enjoy
I love summer and not only for the warm weather and super tans I usually get. I love summer block buster movies. The biggest budget action films almost always come out in the summer months. In honor of the opening of summer season, I’d like to list the movies I’m looking forward to this summer, besides Wolverine. Ready??
1. Star Trek: I’ve never been a Trekkie, but I love Zoe Saldana so I want to see her in action. Speaking of action, this movie looks packed with it. And YES I am only going to this movie to see her & the action. I can care less about Star Trek (please don’t kill me Trekkies!!)
2. Transformers: OMG loved the first one. Me & my former roommate probably watched this movie once a week while we lived together. Shia LeBeouf really did a good job in the role of Sam Witwicky. And I heard there is more time dedicated to actual Transformers in this one. 40 new mechanical delights to witness.
3. My Sister’s Keeper: While this isn’t an action packed movie I’m still looking forward to it. Its based on a Jodi Picoult novel, and while I’ve only read one of her books, 19 Minutes, I think if I read more of her I’d love her a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed 19 Minutes. I recommended it to all my friends because I felt the story was just that engaging. Anyway, the previews for this look so good, even with Cameron Diaz. I’m prepared to be the sap that I know am.
4. Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince: Need I say more than Harry Potter? These movies are starting to get really dark & delightful. I’ve started reading the books, and those are good too. I will probably be finished all of them by the time this movie comes out, so I can be on my toes with anxiousness to see how they bring it to life.
5. Inglourious Basterds: Quinten Tarantino + Brad Pitt + WW2. This movies been in the works for sometime and its finally here!! The Basterds are Americans who travel to Nazi occupied France to brutually kill Nazis.. and who can blame them? I’m looking forward to all the wonderful Quentin Tarantino violence. And dammit Brad Pitt is just one helluva an actor-that’s something you can’t deny him.
What movies are ou looking forward to this summer? Not sure what’s available then go to IMDB and check it out!!
I have been slacking on spreading sunshine lately, both online and off. I forgot to call my aunt and wish her a Happy birthday on Sunday-such a bad neice!! Here’s your dose of good reads for today!
1. The 10 Commandments of Condom Use : This needs to be in a textbook somewhere. So many people (adults and teens) aren’t properly schooled on proper condom ettiquette. Take heed!
2. Do you have home training? : Take this quiz and find out! Yes, its another top 10, what can I say? Today I was in the mood to count, had to flex my math skills!
3. So wrong, but yet so true. I loved this comic, don’t know when it first hit the internets, but I couldn’t help laughing.. I’m sure you will too!
Their is the timeless argument about men, women, and who pays for the date. Many women, myself included, feel a man should pay. Some men feel that women should pay. Especially in this age of Ms. Independent. Now, I work hard and I don’t really care who knows it, but I’m not one of those women who boasts about how she has her own. In fact, every time I heard that song by Jamie Foxx, Fabolous, & Ne-yo I’d cringe when he said “she takes pride knowing she paid for it.” Not that its a stupid bad thing but not everyone enjoys that. Personally I’m happier when I’m using something that was a gift, it makes me feel like someone loved me enough to buy me something they knew I’d enjoy, like my Keurig coffee maker. Or a piece of jewelry. It loses its luster knowing I bought it for myself (and probably the reason I don’t buy myself jewelry). Every time I use it I think of the person who bought it for me and it brings a smile to my face. I never got the girl who always had to boast about what she did for herself, NEWSFLASH: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO TREAT YOURSELF GOOD! You don’t get a reward for doing what your supposed to do. You’re supposed to keep a roof over your head and clothes on your back, its essential to life.
OK, back to the topic at hand: Dating in the new world. Guys are starting to feel that women are equal to them in terms of money and etc., so they should be paying. And I can’t blame them for feeling that way when people are screaming it down their necks. I was listening to The Ed Lover Morning Show the other day and a listener called to ask about this same thing. She asked why do guys want you to put out after they paid for a few dates or something along those lines. And Ed simply broke it to her: In dating, just like anything else in life, people want a return on investment. If you are NOT Interested in this man beyond the friend zone, let him know so he can go get a return on his investment somewhere else. And I can’t say that I disagree. I mean, when your just getting to know a guy, sure its fine to let him pay, but once you make that decision that you don’t want to take it to the next level with him, its not fair to expect him to keep buying you dinners and even gifts, especially in this recession. It’s just selfish. I remember there was one time I wanted to go out. I was sitting at home bored really craving some T.G.I.Fridays. I also happened to be a little strapped for cash. So I didn’t want to call up a guy and invite him out because if you invite someone out, you have to be prepared to a) go dutch or b) pay for the outing yourself. So I had to ignore my Friday’s cravings that night. Do I think it would have been a problem finding someone to pay? Probably not, but its just not proper etiquette in my opinion. But every girl likes to feel wanted by a man, and they like to know they have someone who will do it for them.
Its pretty girl syndrome. Everyone knows a girl like this. Pretty girl syndrome sufferers are chronically late, they almost always have a guy on stash (even if they have a boyfriend) who is willing to give them money or take them places or get things fixed whom they’ve never had sex with. These people are simple enamored by their beauty and love to be in their presence. The pretty girl knows this and takes full advantage of it.
My suggestion? Hell, I don’t think I have one. OK, I’m lying. I’m all about being courted and I won’t take a guy seriously unless he courts me. That means paying for dates, opening doors, and being a gentelman. Now, I’m not saying you even need to spend a lot of money. I enjoy bowling nights, happy hour drink specials, buying dinner and I’ll cook it. Now, being that you’re courting me I should act accordingly. I won’t snap at you in public nor will I gawk at other males in your presence. I will listen to your ramble on about yourself. I think girls need to cut all this bullcrap about trying to be “equal” and having “sex like a man” with no attachments because its just stupid! Stupid I tell you! It’s not as easy as it appears and most of the guys who are out there sleeping around are searching for something they just haven’t found yet! I definitely don’t want someone to expect me to pay for dates, or even ask them out. Just stop it ladies.. don’t make it bad for girls like me
What in the Sam Hell kind of Tom Foolery is this? This picture is creepy! I had to share this because I’m kind of just sick of talking about the swine flu (or Chittlin’ Flu as Kitty called it)! LOL. I’m so over it..
OK, so I was going to do a review on this movie (or maybe just on Hugh Jackman’s hot sexy nakedness, but then I read Jess’s 10 reasons why you need to see this and after reading her’s I don’t feel there is much more I can add. I believe that it is a good writers job to know when they can add to the discussion and when are they just being pointless banter. So NOT to bore you guys anymore.. here you have it:
Jess’s 10 reasons to see X-Men Origin’s Wolverine
Wolverine is all angry and sexy in his clothes that just barely fit,yet at any second you’re waiting for them to just completely rip off *yes Wolverine Hugh Jackman is my white boy crush*
Hello?! Mutant fighting!!! Especially Sabretooth he’s a total badass actually lemme make it specific, when they run up in the Nigerian diamond house and you see what everybody can do
They don’t hold back, there were a few times, no lie, that I covered my eyes…those mutants are bananas man…and that William Stryker?! Such great acting!
Chrisette Michele’s new album Epiphany drops tomorrow, May 5th and I want you all to know what your getting into before you click purchase in iTunes. I loved her first album and I loved her when I saw her in concert, so I was really looking forward to this new cd. I can’t say I’m disappointed with her sophomore effort, but this album is very different than her first one, and that isn’t a bad thing.
I AM, her debut cd was, in my opinion, full of positive songs. I mean I loved Be Ok,Let’s Rock, Like a Dream, Is this the way, and Good Girl. There weren’t too many songs that made you think of relationships/men in a bad way and I really thoroughly enjoyed it. But this cd, I feel has a more gloomy vibe. From the opening track, Epiphany you notice the difference in the attitude of the singer. Of the 12 tracks (I know, I’m pissed it’s so short too) I’d say half of them are songs about break-ups and the such. I wonder what sort of personal dealings CM was going through.
Also, I feel like its noticeable that she didn’t do all the writing on this cd. I feel that the writing quality is drastically different than her first cd, I think the songs lack the total amount of soul that the first had. Not that they aren’t good, just not AS good. I need to find someone who bought an actual cd so I can look at the jacket to see who wrote what, but that’s not important.
My favorite songs on the album:
-Epiphany of course
-Porcelain doll
-Another One
-Notebook
-Mr. Right
Honorable mentions: Playin our song, What you do..
5/12 tracks isn’t bad at all. I love the fact that not every song sounds identical and the production is good. I’ve probably listened to this cd about 5x since it first came into my possession and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her again in concert!
Overall .. 4/5
Oh.. and did I mention I think this girl is GORGEOUS?? Very beautiful girl!
Dope. Crazy. Perfectly Imperfect. I'm not the best writer and probably not the worst either, but I am happy while doing it. Stick with me and you'll never be bored! I mean, maybe you won't and maybe you will....
