Mr.Pushaman

I'm not currently in any type of relationship, but for some reason it popped in my head that some times men can be like drugs to women. The man I'm describing will be titled "Mr.Pushaman." This man is so bad for a chicks health that he can cause weight fluctuations, like all of a sudden you are 10lbs lighter or 15lbs heavier and just not the woman you used to be. You can start losing friends over him, or your family members are concerned and they feel that they don't know you anymore. This is just not a good look! No man is worth having your family worried about your well being. But sometimes ladies get involved with Mr.Pushaman and they turn into fiends and the only thing that can make them feel better is unfortunately him, but what they don't understand is that yes, it may be hard to let him go, but you'll be better for it in the end. There are signs to let you know if your new Mr.Man is actually Mr.Pushaman. If after ya'll start talking your girls start saying they don't see you at all or EVER, then it's probably b/c you are spending all of your time w/ the dope man. If your mom starts leaving you messages everyday just "checking" on you, it's probably b/c the last time you talked to her was when you were telling her about your new boo (and that was a MONTH ago). If you stop doing most of the things you like, adopt his friends and spend all of your time with them, then your basically kickin it at the crack house with all the D-Boys. GET OUT FAST....before they start asking you to hook them up with some of your girlfriends which is the equivalant of running key's for those niggas! It's just like drugs, so baby do yourself, your family and your girls a favor and just say no!

5 reasons to get on your computer

Everyone should have access to a computer at their own leisure simply so they can visit these five sweet blogs anytime they like:

1. Stuff Educated Black People Like is a blog basically writing on things that EBP's like. Its a parody and all in good fun. I was reading the one about getting dressed up and was WEEEEEAAAAK

2. Stuff White People Like is where it all started! It's just as equally funny.

3. Improv Everywhere is the neatest thing EVERRR! They basically cause scenes in random places and video tape their happenings.

4. Black People Love Us! is HILARIOUS. Enough said, just go to the website and you will understand.

5. The FAIL Blog shows a lot of pictures where people, animals and situations just FAIL! It's PRICELESS!

Bitches & Sisters

I'm going to open up with Jay-Z lyrics:
"Sisters get respect, Bitches get what they deserve
Sisters work hard, Bitches work your nerves
Sisters hold you down, Bitches hold you up
Sisters help you progress, Bitches'll slow you up
Sisters cook up a meal play they role with the kidz
Bitches in the street with they nose in ya biz
Sisters tell the truth, Bitches tell lies
Sisters drive cars, Bitches wanna ride
Sisters give up the ass, Bitches give up the ass
Sisters do it slow, Bitches do it fast
Sisters do they dirt outside of where they live, Bitches have niggas all up in your crib
Sisters tell you quick you betta check ya homie
Bitches don't give a fuck they wanna check for ya homie
Sisters love Jay cause they know how hov is
I LOVE MY SISTERS I DON'T LOVE NO BITCH"

With that being said....I ask....What has happened to the Black Queen? I'm only wondering b/c I recently came across this video of women trying out for a Plies reality show, and it left me speechless. I really have nothing to say except that we have got to do better!

How much are they paying you?

So while watching the Making the Band 4 live portion, I noticed that as Donnie came out, Sway was like "look at his swagger!" And Sway sounded very convinced that he believed what was coming out of his mouth. So I have to ask...How much are they paying you? Sway is not the rasta VJ he once was! He has been turned into some robot who says things like "look at Donnie's SWAGGER." First of all his name is Donnie, eliminating all chances of having swagger. The only other Donnie's I know are Donnie Whalberg and he would have been better off if his name was Mark. And Donnie Simpson who hosted Soul train and..........no, no that's it.....HE ONLY HOSTED SOUL TRAIN! So what the HELL is Sway talking about? What is Sway talking about at all nowadays? I guess people's integrity comes with a price, and I bet his ain't even as high as it should be! SMH (thanks Rahsaan, lol)

Believe the HYPE

So I went to the club on Friday, in downtown Norfolk and of course we were partying! So one of the girls I was with (Ashley aka Barbie) purchased a bottle of Moet & Chandon Rose' Imperial NV. Now I had heard that Moet tasted like rocks, but that Rose'......oh believe the hype! It tasted sooooooooo good, to the point where I tried to find a bottle in the liquor store two days later, but all they had was the normal Moet & Chandon. And for all you slow asses out there buying these bottles in the club for REDICULOUS amounts of money, they sell in the store for like $45! So I would never buy a bottle in the club, it would have to be a really special occasion, REALLY SPECIAL! Like "I just won the lottery and can actually cover this expensive ass tab" special. But that Rose'......lives up to the Hype! Mmm mmm Good!

What's your Addiction?

"What's your addiction? Is it money, is it girls, is it weed? I've been afflicted...by not one, not two, but all three" ~Kanye West

So....I went to my first ball/cabaret type affair in early February. And being that it was my first one, I decided that I would go all out and do it BIG. So...if you actually know me, then you are probably aware of the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of dresses OR High Heels....but I decided that I was not only going to get a dress and high heels, but a short dress and VERY high heels.

I bought these black, tan and gold platform pumps, with about a four inch heel. These suckas were so bad that I kept them on ALL night, like a G! And now....I'M ADDICTED! I feel that platforms are so much more comfortable than regualr heels for some reason and I love them. So if there are any ladies out there reading this and you are like me...not too fond of high heels, then go out and get you a pair of platforms and say HELLO to your new BFF!

Are We In This 2gether

"Would you live for me? Now shorty tell me would you die for me? Are we in this together, are we in this together, tell me. If I was locked out with no money could you hold it down for me? I just gotta know for sho'....are we in this together...are we in this together? Tellll meeeeeee!" Those are the lyrics to the Day 26 track "Are We In This Together." This is currently my JAAAAAAM! This song is so good and I listen to it over and over and over and over again. I don't know what it is, but its just so damn good. This song needs to be everyone's ringer for your Ride OR Die. Your R.O.D is that person that you know is going to be there for you NO MATTER WHAT. You're hungry...they will give you the last bit of food they have! You need a ride...they call you when they're outside to pick your ass up! You're having a shitty day...they have some inspirational words to let you know that it's gonna BE ALRIGHT! You want to go out but you don't have the scrilla? They tell you they GOT YOU. Ladies.......Fella's........find your Ride or Die, but u have to be in it together....no half steppin! And when you find that Ride or Die, you need to show some reciprocity so that you don't lose them because a true Ride or Die is hard to find. Many like to call themselves a Ride or Die...but when you need them the most they might not be what they're all cracked up to be!

Accept God's Gift......and thank the Lord he BLESSED YOU!

Coincidence's...some can be good, others not so much! Luckily I recently experienced a very satisfying coincidence. One of my girl's peeping the blog recognized the person in my main picture(random? uh....yes!). She then messaged me on facebook asking about the picture and telling me more about the fella in it. Come to find out the picture is of Rahsaan Alexander(pronounced Ra like rapper and Saan like sand), known to some as "God's Favorite Rapper." Rahsaan is a Brooklyn based rapper who was born in Georgetown, Guyana. Rahsaan has the 3 main qualities of a great MC: lyrics, delivery, and vocal tone. I personally like my artists' to have so much conviction behind their lyrics that if they said "I piss GOLD," that I would really have to stop and think..."I wonder if this nigga really pisses Gold." All three of these qualities are exhibited on the rep yo set track Georgtown. WOTS(word on the street) is that his live shows are also force to be reckoned with. His music provides for all types of listeners. You got Sneaker Store Terrorist for all the Hip Hop FashJawns, and Pucker Up for all my Jilted Lovers, then of course All That for the ladies "...Grab my shoulders, lose composure, now you can really feel it deep inside." Ooooh....yes GUURRRRL, he went there! Rahsaan recently won the "Best Male Solo Performer" award for 2007 at the Underground and Indie Award show. After listening to his music and chatting with the kid, I can truly say that Rahsaan can be initiated into the Hip Hop Super Hero Justice League. He's out cleaning up the streets, ridding us of the Hurricane Chris' and the Soulja Boys of the world, helping to remind us why we all fell in love with Hip Hop in the first place! And I would just like to say thank you God's Gift...THANK YOU!
