Fret not my lovers!!! I have not quit this gig yet! My postings always slack when I enter the busy season at my full-time job. Much apologies! It also doesn’t help that I’ve been feeling completely and utterly dull lately. I’m in a life rut! But things go on..
I have a confession. Please don’t judge. Lately I’ve been clocking waaayy too many hours of the Disney channel for someone with no kids. But Phineas & Ferb and Wizards of Waverly Place always draw me in! And when nothing else is on, they reallly hit the spot. And then I was in NYC yesterday and crossed Waverly Place! I almost went looking for the Subway Sub Shop. Its true I’m a real geek at heart, and even though I think Disney breeds little child star freaks, they are good for kids.The kids who work for Disney act, sing, dance, do stand up comedy and wash your car. They are little work slaves … and their bank accounts reflect that! I wish my parents sold me to Disney. *wishful thinking* I could be rolling in the Disney dough!!
I also from time to time watch Nickelodeon shows, like Danny Phantom and Fairly OddParents, but I’m starting to feel like I’ve seen every episode. Lately I’ve been feeling like life is emulating entertainment. Nothing interests me. I am seriously just bored with everything. I haven’t even wanted to blog about shoes. SHOES!!! You know how much I love shoes, so this is serious!!I have even stopped using Twitter as much as I used to, because I just don’t feel like I have anything interesting to say. Something has definitely got to give! Stay with me though, I am actively working to change that!
New Year, New ME? Isn’t that what you’ve heard all week (and the last 3 weeks of 20009?) or the fact that people were leaving the past in the last decade? If you’re like me you’ve made the same resolution ten year in a row: save money, do x, and don’t do Y. And why? So we can later count our failures as we transition to the next year, and vow to do the same things over and over again?
But that’s not to knock the significance of the idea of a New Year Resolution, because to some it really is a chance to start with a clean slate. Sometimes someething may happen on New Years Eve’s Eve and you realize that you want to leave that in the past. Don’t dwell on it in the New Year, and that is what your resolution is. And it’s freaking GREAT if you can actually do it. Personally, I take the time during the year to reflect on what needs to be changed. But it’s a matter of actually doing it. In December I bought a Planner. I said I’m going to get my life more organized in 2010, but that was because that’s when the Planner started.
As we entered the new year, I vowed to take Mr. West’s advice and “Go on a living spree.” I want a year life that is full of great experiences and memories with great people. What good will it be if I lived my life and all I could remember was that I retired early at 47 and didn’t have any fun? I have made some tangible goals for the 2010 year:
1. Get into Grad School - This means taking the Graduate Record Exam. I don’t want to do it, mainly because I don’t want to have to pay $170 to take a standardized test that’s going to tell me how I fall along the range of average intelligence. I don’t believe the hype that says standardized test are an accurate measure of intelligence. But I need to build a bridge and get the eff over my personal issues and take them. Then pay the graduate school a fee for them to review my credentials to accept me. I’d be devastated not to get in.
2. Write more – not just here. Writing in general, which is to include short stories, poems, papers, whatever the heck strikes me. Music Guides me and words inspire me.
3. Read more non-fiction – at least 1 per month that doesn’t include a book for class.
4. Prioritize – pretty much, get off the internets all damn day. Yeah, I have a problem. Needs help.
5. Be more family oriented – I’ve been trying for the past year. I’m an only child, who’s not close to her mom, so sometimes I really just don’t care about family events and all those good things. But this year I’ve spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family, went out with a cousin for her birthday, and got myself a (future) god-child. They say family is all you’ve got, so let’s see . .
All in all these aren’t “New Year Goals” they are life goals, because each one will put me on the path to living life to the fullest. Do you have any (NON) New Year’s Resolutions?
Happy Pre-Halloween!! Don’t throw eggs on anyone, or tee pee any houses! OK!
I love to spread sunshine. It may not seem important but I enjoy sharing my little jewels with others, as silly as they may be. So it really bothers me when people have outdated blogrolls. Its one thing if the blogger just hasn’t updated in months, totally another when the blog just doesn’t exist anymore. I’m just saying, its good business to keep it updated. On with the show!!
1. Women want a lot, or that’s so it seems. And I, as a woman, find that I want very little. But this guy, no idea who he is, breaks it down to how to get what you want, with humor -- not in those cheesy Cosmo ways that tell you to sell your soul to the devil to get the man you want. I had never even been on Stumbleupon, but I guess its good that I did!
2. I hate hate hate HATE baseball. Playing it is so much more fun that watching.. But um, these guys in those tight pants. I’ll watch! JadeNY’er wrote this for my girl Kitty Bradshaw’s site. Check it
3. This litte girl is really moving! And she’s not dancing in a way that is overly raunchy, but just in a way that she has this routing down pack! via Alyson Mance
4. The G-Men (the powers that be behind Google-y stuff) are acing this customer service thing apparently. I love tales of good customer service, being in customer service myself. And, whenever someone tells me I rock, I tell them to let my supervisor know, HA! Plus, this story is downright ridiculously amusing. Straight Comedy!
I did a poll of friends to discuss whether Irish Spring was a male soap or a unisex soap. It started off as a friendly debate between someone, but I needed to validate one of our points. After all, someone has to be right.
Overall, most people only remembered the original scent of Irish Spring. You know, the big green or blue bar that will leave your wash rag tinted iwth that color. Those I will stand by the point made by the opposition in that those may be masculine, but others like aloe and micro clean are unisex. What man is ready for lemon scent? I think that Colgate (the distributor of Irish Spring) markets more for me because if they make the soap seem too girly, men won’t buy it. And you have to appeal to the larger market.
Men who use Dove or other “girly” soaps often deny it, or hide it. And why? Because of how people will perceive them?
Now think of this, how does this extend beyond the superficial of what we are talking about? Why do things always have to be assigned a gender? Their are “girly” cars and then “manly” cars. No one wants to be perceived more masculine or feminine than they actually are, correct? Is this more true for me? Are there more implications associated with a male for being deemed as too feminine?
Did it make me question myself when it was made a point that my soap was a masculine soap? Nope, not at all because I’ve used this soap since the dawn of time and am secure in my woman-ness. But would i want to be perceived as tom-boyish, probably not. Perception is the reality these days. Don’t be a victim of perception deception!
1. Want to be a Wine expert? Me too! I happen to LOVE wine, and I’m all for having the right wine for the right occasion. Except, my dilemma is that I hate red wine! But, like the author said, “Every adult should be familiar with wine, even if they do not drink it.”
2. Would you get a piranha pedicure? Part of me finds this midly intriguing but utterly gross!!! What do they do with the fish while they change the water? But I just really want to know how smooth are your feet when its done? Will some people still need that razor later??
3. Need a Plug Rug? So, when I go out and I need to hide things – tampons, cameras, ID and the like, I just stuff it in my cleavage. But I guess not everyone is as fortunate and they need a plug rug. Get them while they’re HOT!
4. It’s a Wheel? It’s a Hampster Wheel? It’s a bed? Yes, that’s right, this is a cool, ROCKING bed! This would be great for getting that perfect angle to watch TV on. And maybe a few other good uses. The site is in some other language, Dutch or German, so I can’t find the price, good luck with that! Consider it your own persona cloud!
It’s been awhile since I spread some love out in the world, but all is well because I’m back at it! I hope this entertains you, because it has to entertain me in traffic court today. Enjoy!
1. Hate your boss or job?This makes the cut because I can relate. Bosses who micro-manage the most menial bullcrap & how that can sometimes cause you to check out. I also have a few close friends who can dig this! (Thx! to The Goodie Bag!!)
2. High Fashion? Sometimes I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I am a mini fashionista, but first and foremost I am a budgetista. I need my clothes to be cute 7 affordable, and if it can double from work to play, EVEN BETTER!! I don’t get what seems to be the high fashion rule, it seems that if it makes the runway it is completely unwearable in actual day to day life. Some of this ish… IDK, what do you think? (Fashion with a Side of Life)
3. Stop Sleeping on Jersey! Despite what everyone says, Jersey is a great state. Don’t let movies mislead you, in fact a helluva lot of movies are filmed here in Jersey, or make reference to Jersey. It always happens, hell in Tranformers 2 they made their way to Jersey. See what I mean!!
New Jersey Don't Love YOU!
We don’t love them hoes! LOL
These tees were designed by a local (local to me is the Monmouth County Central Jersey area) NJ DJ/ entrepreneur.
OK, that’s it for today!
*Muah*

I don’t have a link for this, but did anyone, I mean annyyyooonneee really get the gist of why the hell Sarah Palin was resigning? Her whole speech was just one big run on sentence. And who really cares, its mutha-fudge-phucking Alaska. I inferred from it that she maybe preparing for a Senate Run and others propse its for 2012. I can care less what it is, I really want her to fall off the media radar and give up the analogies. In case she didn’t get the memo Palin, your analogies suck! Tina Fey, please reprise your role!!!! I mean, this lady really writes her own jokes…
Facebooky has all these little quizlets you can take when your bored, you’ve all seen them: What kind of lover are you? What is your sexual personality, How Dateable are you. When will you get married, etc., They are cool to pass the time with sometimes… at least they do for me at work. Today one of my friends took the “What Black Leader are You?” so I decided to follow.
I don’t know how the hell they arrive at their answers based on the questions used, but apparently I’m Angela Davis, which for me is cool because I think she rocks.
You may quietly consider yourself a rebel with a cause. You were not designed to follow social conformities and this gets you in a world of trouble; nevertheless, your opinions are ON POINT. You know what you’re talking about and are not afraid to say-so.
I remember seeing her speak when I was in college and thought she was a great speaker. But then my results got me to thinking. What am I speaking my mind about? Is my voice useless if I spend it ranting about things no one cares about? What is there that can be vehemently spoken against in this new millennium where nothing is sacred? It was so easy in the past, Davis’s generation, to get involved and speak out because things were blatantly racist and unjust. But now injustice is covertly hidden amongst us and when you try to call it out people call you paranoid. They say your overreacting and racism doesn’t exist. OR women’s rights. Plenty will say that women’s rights are no longer an issue and things are plenty equal. What is it that really grinds Cleo’s gears to cause her to speak out. what did I feel strongly for or against?
1. I’m against white celebrities going to Africa or China or Vietnam, or wherever to adopt babies when their are plenty disadvantaged people in our own country. How can we fix other peoples kids when we can’t fix our own.
2. I’m against the illegal immigration of Mexicans. Why should you be given a free pass because of your close proximity to the US?
3. I am against standardized testing being a way to judge the nations kids. The forces schools, in urban areas especially, to teach to the test versus just plain teaching. We want kids to be well rounded not little test drones who get to college and fail because they aren’t getting the proper education.
4. I’m pro-choice.
5. And today it was brought to my attention yet again that I think PETA is a waste of time and space. Can I start and anti-PETA Coalition? I wonder how many members I could atract. I mean seriously, how many times do they think they can throw red paint on someones fur before one of them gets killed? Or how about going to the fundamentals of how people orginated? (sure we’re far from them but hey!) Way back when people had to wear fur, it was the only way to keep warm. You had to hunt your coat down and before you could wear him you had to eat him! I’d be more up in arms over the chemicals and shit they are putting in the beef to then feed our kids than actually wearing their skin. How about protesting against the FDA and their lax standards?
People kill me with their nonsense, celebrities especially (or in this case a wanna be celebrity).
The other morning I was listening to the radio getting dressed for work as usual and they announced Cassie was naming a culprit in the release of her nude pics (some people will do anything for a shot at fame). So I listened intently ready to hear the report.
This heffa, with her goat pitched voiced, had the nerve to say she blames Google and their lack of security for her leaked picture. Seriously? Or you could have a better password idiot. I mean, now we can blame anyone for things that go wrong? Well I have some too!
*clears throat*
First would like to blame Honda for my speeding ticket. How dare you make a US car that has the capabilities of going up to 160 miles per hour knowing that there are no open roads for me to use it. Therefore I shall be sending my speeding ticket and holding you responsible for the increase in my auto insurance due to this driving infraction. If you feel the need to release a car that can do speeds in excess of the speed limits, please insert a manual of roads where it can be used to its full potential.
Next I would like to blame the internet for my lack of productivity. Do you really expect people to be productive when you’ve got all these distractions in place? You have games, contest, blogs, chats and more. I blame you for every deadline I am late for. I blame you for all the hours I’ve wasted. Please reimburse me for my time. I could be rich like you by now.
I mean, these are just a few, so if you have your own, just add them to the list.
UGH. Why must people ruin a good thing? I love a pair of leggings on a relaxing day. Rock them with a tunic and some flip flops and its all good. Or on a day when its raining so you can just throw on the rain boots and keep it moving. LOVE THEM!And even sometimes on my super skinny girlfriends they have rocked them out @ the club or some other even and looked adorable. But let’s be honest, leggings + club = FAIL! You just don’t do it, or if you do it do it right…
Exhibit A: HATED IT!!!
Homegirl has on like 3 different tones & materials. What’s with the random brown band in the midriff area? Sequins & Satin? Seriously? I do know those are Steve Madden shoes spotted @ a Macy’s near you!
Exhibit B: HATED IT!
Trick, don’t you know you look like the Hamburglar??
While trying to find an outfit that flatters your ass, you could have at least avoided looking like a prison runaway. Sheesh!!! And then you have a clutch splattered w/ the Gucci logo??? They should sue you!!! My granny would smack me if I tried to wear that out the house…
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.
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!
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
GM is said to be cutting the Pontiac Line. I can’t believe this. I officially think the people over at GM are idiots! How can you cancel the Pontiac line, but keep them big ass gas guzzling SUVs? Grand Ams are some HOOTTT cars & the Grand Prix isn’t too shabby itself. I mean, come on, look at the body on that car. I wanted one of these so bad when they first released. *sigh* This guy I had a crush on in high school, he used to have one of these. He used to look so sexy driving it, and all the young girls (myself included) would idly lust after him in the way that only teenage girls can. I wonder what ever happened to him….
Now, this comes AFTER GM will received an additional 2 billion in funds on April 22. Who is running GM? They need to be removed from this sinking ship & replaced by someone who knows what the hell they are doing!! They made no attempts to make Pontiac cars more fuel efficient, which is something they must do with the federal funds. I mean, I know it cost money to experient with that, and the Pontiac branded from them being muscle cars. But I do believe the technology is out there to make an energy effecient powerful car. And since you are using my tax dollars (along with real Pontiac owners) I think they owe us at least a shot.
Can someone please someone tell me how Fuel efficient a Yukon is?
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).

New Year, New ME? Isn’t that what you’ve heard all week (and the last 3 weeks of 20009?) or the fact that people were leaving the past in the last decade? If you’re like me you’ve made the same resolution ten year in a row: save money, do x, and don’t do Y. And why? So we can later count our failures as we transition to the next year, and vow to do the same things over and over again?
I love to spread sunshine. It may not seem important but I enjoy sharing my little jewels with others, as silly as they may be. So it really bothers me when people have outdated blogrolls. Its one thing if the blogger just hasn’t updated in months, totally another when the blog just doesn’t exist anymore. I’m just saying, its good business to keep it updated. On with the show!!
I did a poll of friends to discuss whether Irish Spring was a male soap or a unisex soap. It started off as a friendly debate between someone, but I needed to validate one of our points. After all, someone has to be right.
