Mike & Nia: Super Sad News

Lifestyle
I woke up Sunday morning to a friends very sad Facebook status update. When I asked him what was wrong, he texted me information regarding these two young people. Mike was a member of his fraternity and he knew Nia through him. These senseless acts of violence are saddening. Later in the day I ran into several other people who knew the couple and they all were deeply devastated. I didn't know them, and I was devastated. Death is never something easy to cope with, but when it happens to TWO young people with their lives ahead of them, it hits so close to home. I think EVERYONE can be touched by this story. I grabbed this Essence Article from KittyBradshaw.com and I hope that you can take the time…

Why Wednesday? Gross Fat Chick

Lifestyle, Mis-Adventures
#thisbitch. Why oh why oh why!! Reasons like this and MTV's Jersey Shore are why I'm sometimes ashamed to be from New  Jersey. Who wants to weight 1000 lbs? Why is your LIFE goal to weight half a ton?? And why oh why oh why are people giving her shine? Why is she on GMA and radio stations and being offered a reality show?? If people stopped fueling the fires these idiotic people would stop these shenanigans. How does this woman, Donna Simpson, already hold the Guinness World Record for being the World's Fattest Mother. How is it OK that it took 30 medics to deliver her daughter via C-section?? She can't move more than 20feet before needing a break, but she wants to be fatter?? Can I smack this…

WTF?? Bacon Mmmvelopes??

Lifestyle
EW!! BARF!!! GROSS!! What in the sam hell kinda fuckery is this??? Are people really THIS obsessed with bacon?? Like Seriously?? Bacon MMmvelopes??? The same people who bought you Baconnaise (EW!! BARF!! GROSS!!) have decided the world needs another use for bacon. Because this is what is wrong with the world, not enough uses for pork fat. From their site: "Technology has given us a lot lately. The car. TV. X-rays. The refrigerator. The Internet. Heck, we even cured polio. But what have our envelopes tasted like for the last 4,000 years? Armpit, that’s what. Really, people? If we can’t overcome this kind of minor technical challenge, it’s only a matter of time until some super-advanced race of aliens with lasers, spaceships and a delicious federal mail system comes down…

Why Wednesday: Hide your Food!

Foodie
I think as we sink deeper and deeper into the "recession" people just find more ways to get creative with their crimes and blame their stupidity on the "recession." Latest Act of WTF -- Holding someone up with you MACHETE for some Tacos.. Really though? You just were walking down the street with a Machete and no one noticed??? But right.. where the hell were you at that 16 tacos cost you $41?  At Taco Bell 16 tacos is only cost you like $25 bucks. And like the crazed knife weilding criminal ran out of a building, stole your tacos, and drove away? Why wouldn't he take the tacos back inside, because obviously he was hungry. The logic of some people will never be right to me. This is just…

New ways to scam college students!

Lifestyle
Newest Scam for college kids: being target for "illegal downloads. " An apparently bogus collections agency that sent out letters to Bucknell students demanding $500 to settle the students' alleged illegal downloads. Seriously! That's crazy. Imagine that 10 people actually paid that $500. That's an easy 5k for some scammer. TAX FREE!!! And who is really going to contest that email they get about illegally downloading something? Scam!! It's a scary word and a scary practice. Scammers are ruthless, they don't care how they get you, as long as they get you.  And as time goes on, those scams just get more elaborate. Other scams for college Student's are pretty common: Fake scholarship promises, crazy student loans, diploma mills, and other websites that sell you cheating supplies (which is just…

Sigh ... I hate when bad things happen to shoes. I want to take names and kick ass...  This is a: Fashion FAIL! Who did this to this poor shoe?? And bless the poor soul that actually bought them. Found these via Fredericks of Hollywood as well .they are called the "lambskin cuffed sandal."

OMG!! Real life Final Destination

Lifestyle
HOLY COW!!! I woke up to this news story: An Italian woman who arrived to the airport late for the fatal Air France flight 447 has died in a car accident, according to ANSA news agency. Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol, Italy) and her husband, Kirk, were on vacation in Brazil and missed flight 447 after arriving to the airport late. They were able to board a later flight and avoided being victims of the horrible crash. The couple rented a car in Munich, Germany and decided to drive home to Italy. On their way home, while driving through Kufstein, Austria, their car ended up in the opposite lane and they had a head on collision with a truck. The woman died at the hospital…

Leggings are NOT club wear…

Lifestyle
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…

Recession Jobs: Instant Glory-WRITE A TELL-ALL!

Lifestyle
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…

Swine Flu: America’s latest epidemic!

Lifestyle
(image courtesy of Huffington Post) First there was anthrax.. then it was Bird Flu.. let's not forget SARS and now we have Swine Flu. There is always some new viral outbreak to worry Americans and everyone else who's willing to worry. Maybe I just think I'm so tough that I don't really pay attention to this crap. Maybe its because I'm one of those young people who thinks they are invincible. Or because I just don't believe the hype.. Either way, everyone is all up in turmoil about this damn Swine Flu. Now I admit, when I first heard the words I was like "welp, its good I don't eat pork I guess!!" LOL. I know right, how wrong and ignorant. So to prevent other people from being ignorant, I…

Penis Envy?

Lifestyle
**After being scolded my male readers... I have to warn.. Guys.. be careful when you look down... proceed w/ caution! ok.. back to the show.. *** First I found the Dildo ashtray and I thought that was weird. But to top that off, I have come across the penis shaped bong: Now maybe in one lifetime I might try this, but I would NEVER think a man would use this (well at least not a straight man). But as you can see from the picture there is a man using this, and it does make me question his sexuality.  Does that make me mean? Or just overly aware of  social clues & stereotypes? And I thought this was a great post for the infamous Stoner Holiday 4/20! Thanks Dlisted (once…

Tribadism

Lifestyle
I learned something new today, which is always great!  Someone said they were in the mood to watch some tribbing-and I had no idea what that was. So, being on this eternal quest for knowledge I proceeded to google "tribbing".  Yes, google is wonderful and I don't know how I survive a day without it.  I can't think of a day that goes by when I don't google something... anything.. an image... a name.. a person... But I digress I found out what tribbing was, or tribadism for the more formal.  This is the act of two women bumping kitties!!! (I am going to be PG for the sake that I just don't talk overly dirty and to say it with the other words would just be too vulgar for…

Saber Saw Sex: When Sexual Experimentation Goes Wrong.

Lifestyle
I don't even know how to approach this subject with care. There is no coy introduction that can be used. So let's just dive right into this stupidity:  Two dumb asses decided it'd be cool to mix a saber saw and a sex toy for their pleasure. I don't know what made them think this is cool.  I support sexual experimentation, but a power tool in your nether region? These 2 geniuses decided to attach the sex toy OVER the blade. Then, I'm assuming, he went to work down there.  I'm guessing they wanted to get into a rhythm in foreplay without giving him carpal tunnel. There is no way anyone could convince me to do this and risk being scarred from sex forever!  This is an EPIC Fail. I…

Eat Shit: Literally!

Lifestyle
Imagine if you went to your friends house, or a dates house, for dinner and they took you into a bleach cleaned bathroom and served you dinner on a porcelain toilet.  How would you feel? Kinda grossed out right? Apparently some Chinese people don't feel the same way because there is a popular restaurant, Modern Toilet, making waves in China.  Here is where  you can go to enjoy dinner on a "stylish acrylic toilet" and drink out of a urinal (don't deny it, you know you always wanted to do that!).  Menu delicacies include: diarrhea with dried droppings, bloody poop, and green dysentery-and these are just deserts! I'm sorry, but there is no way you are going to get me in a restaurant that does this.  Not only do you…
