This might be shameful....

But I can't get this freakin song out my head! I love it!



I know it's sad

Pretty Fly for a White Guy

I will admit, when I was younger I only ever liked White guys. I mean there were NO black boys in my little Catholic school class until like 3rd grade so they were I knew.

Not sure what happened or when this occurred, by I "crossed over" and I loved and appreciate my Black males. Sure there were White guys I thought were cute but that was about it. And after high school, it was OVER especially considering few guys I were around were kinda lame (yeah I said it).

Cut to college where I'm pretty much removed from White people in general (that's for another post!). However, I saw that new Jamie Foxx movie Law Abiding Citizen, over the weekend and I spent the entire time drooling over Gerard Butler!

I felt like making a list of White guys that could get it....(in no particular order)

1. Gerard Butler (he's newest to the list)

2. Jude Law (I mean did you see him in The Holiday?)

4. Johnny Depp

5. Channing Tatum

I could probably come up with a couple more...but let me slow my roll!

Precious: My Commentary

I was one of those unfortunate people that didn't get to see Precious this weekend because everybody and they momma did. Even though I'm in the midst of a stressful week, I took the time this evening to go see it. And now I'm gonna took a little more time out to give my commentary on the movie.
First, I better see some Oscar, Golden Globe, and all that ish nominees come out for this movie. Everyone, and literally everyone was good. Mariah suprised me (she looked a lil rough without the makeup) and I didn't realize how sexy Lenny Kravitz was until I saw him stripped down to a regular looking man in this movie. Mo'Nique...DAMN! I mean I freaking hated her! I'm still trying to remind myself it wasn't real because she was that good. Gabourey Sidibe was spectacular...she made Precious come alive and seem so real.

The movie addresses an issue that is a serious problem for all but particularly in the Black community. Men raping and molesting young children and women allowing it to happen.

In the end when Mo'Nique's character confesses to the things she did she displays a hatred for Precious for "taking her man". It was disgusting and disturbing that a woman can look down on her own child and blame them when the man they are with is abusing their child.

It's not that uncommon actually. It happens all the time but nobody ever knows until it's too late if they ever find out at all. Kids are afraid to talk, mothers blame their children and choose a man over there own child because they are hungry for a love of their own.

I'm happy to see this issue being discussed more and brought to the forefront (I've seen it in two films now in 2 weeks) and I hope that people begin to wake up and stop this monster from continuing to ruin children.

A Surprise Hit

Finally took Kid Cudi out of the CD player to pop in Wale's debut (well debut to me) Attention Deficit.

I know I've been in DC for 5 years now, I should be familiar and comfortable with Wale, but I don't like Go-Go so I was a little turned off. However...

I LOVE IT! Wale is another breath of fresh air and he's actually talking about something good. I just hope the money and the fame don't ruin it further down the line. I'm kinda wishing I had paid attention to the guy before now, lol.

I couldn't find my current fave, "Let It Loose" feat. Pharrell, but here's another track I really like called "Diary".



P.S.: I got tickets to see Kid Cudi in Cincy this January!!!!!!! I had to share that with somebody, hehe.

Happy Birthday to Ya...

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To Happy people like you--
Happy people like
What a beautiful

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame street...

How to get to Sesame Street  

I remember singing that theme song while chillin over my grandma's house enjoying my childhood (and waiting for Ghostwriter to come on). Happy birthday to the show that brings joy to the lives of so many!

Over-hyped

I'm by no means a Rihanna fan. I won't say she got what she deserved either. There's no excuse for a man hitting a woman regardless if some of them deserve it sometiimes. But this whole Rihanna-Chris Brown thing is being ridiculously overdone in my opinion and I was over 9 months ago (a.k.a. when it happened)

Rihanna is by no-means special, women are victims of domestic violence everyday. Because she a celebrity, however, the whole thing got blown up a lot more than it needed to be.

I thankfully caught the end of the interview Diane Sawyer did on 20/20 last night and I'd seen a few clips of her talking about the incident. From the little bit that I saw, I felt Rihanna didn't really want to break up with Chris Brown. I'm sure after the restraining order expires he'll be secretly smashing, and in my opinion she only did it because her publicist reminded her that she is a public figure, women look up to her and sticking with Brown would send the wrong message. Ooh and those corporate sponsors would have dropped her a$$ (and I'm sure that girl wants all the money she can get, I would).

This story represents that good ole news value of timeliness. She's got an album coming out (so does Brown) and after avoiding the press, jet setting everywhere, she knew she needed to gather a little more public sympathy and finally give it from her side. The workings of a publicist is stamped all over both of them. Chris Brown's bowtie and puppy dog eyes on Larry King Live, Rihanna's crisp look and statements about setting the right example for women and such on GMA, none of this seems real to me.

I try not to judge or jump to conclusions (am I contradicting myself? maybe) about what happened because I wasn't there and we'll never have the real full story unless we were.

In the end, however, I feel sorry for both her and Chris Brown. I'm a believer in love and they both admitted and made it clear that they really love each other. I'm sad that the circumstances forced them to lose that. 

In the end I wasn't feeling the interview at all and I'm really ready to move on from that topic...I think Chris and Rihanna have.

Softcore Porn

Just viewed the new Trey Songz video for "I Invented Sex" (thanks to MissAmazin for the heads up), one of my favorite songs o the latest album Ready.

And....

Well....

It's like softcore porn! One of the hottest videos I've seen in quite a while. I mean he is like having full on foreplay with the chick (although they seem to lack chemistry). I got a little warm just watching it! Trey Songz' sexy level just hit a new high with me!

Check it out....

Song of the Day: Lauryn Hill "Ex-Factor"

I love this song. It's one of those songs I can just relate and that touches me some kinda way. This was the song that really turne me into a Lauryn Hill fan too.

When me and The Boo were broken up and going through our ish, this song used to bring me to tears and it still kinda does. The lyrics just summed up everything and all that I was feeling during that rough year that we were broken up.The whole ex factor can really be a trip, the hurting, the confusion, the love and nobody captures it better than Ms. Hill. I want her to make a comeback!

Check out the video below. Have a great day!

All the talk in the world, Lost in the world, Till you finally let that thing go

Paranoia (n.): a thought process heavily influenced by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion.

Paranoia is a mofo. It can ruin things, it can turn you into a crazy person. When you suffer from it it overwhelms you, takes over, and consumes you.

I was never paranoid before. I always felt pretty good and secure about things/people in my life. But somewhere along the road of life, things happened and those things turned me into one of those paranoid people.

"You've got a f*cked up attitude, you're gonna be single forever." That's what this guy, I will refer to him as Herb-Man (because this most likely won't be the last time I refer to him in a post and that is also his Yahoo screen name), once told me. Mind you, Herb-Man had the nerve to say these things to me after it was revealed he had a girlfriend the entire time we were involved.

It seems like after I got duped by Herb-Man I was got duped a few more times even by those I never thought would do me that way. I became paranoid.

Paranoia can ruin things like relationships. Your heart tells you one thing but your paranoid mind tells you another and usually the paranoid mind wins.

My question is how do you get over paranoia? How do you let go of the things that made you paranoid in the first place? I really need to  know....

There's No Payback So There's No Lay Back...

In my opinion, for quite a few artist, the music industry is one that chews you up, savors the flavor and then spits you out. They gotta stay skinny and they only allow a few artists to pass through the esophogus and go through the digestive process (I'm doin the most right?)

I was watching MTV Cribs and the first dude up was T-Pain...SMH.

He's got a lovely crib, very pricey (several cars, elevator, classy stripper pole in the basement)...but he hasn't had a song out in a few months and if I've learned anything in this recession that pricey ish can really drain the bank. AND with Jay-Z calling for the Death of Autotune and everybody and they momma doing it...what's the man gonna do now?

The news has been filled with reports of "entertainers" and their current broke status. Does this mean the end of this ballin out of control, flashy trend? I sure hope so...

Check out this funny video from The Daily Show where Slim Thug discusses the impact of the recession on rap here.

It's Up To You, New York, New York!

I just peeped Jay-Z's new video for "Empire State of Mind" and while it wasn't quite what I was expecting it's still hot! I especially love Alicia Key's hair a big ol gold earrings. I've been wanting a pair like that for years now. This song always makes me wanna hop on the Chinese bus or the Megabus and go visit my sister...Check the video below!
