You're Wearing the Wrong UNIFORM

I've touched on this subject before but I never really went into detail, so here it goes!


You can't really judge a person by their appearance these days because people are not wearing their appropriate uniforms. There used to be a time when bad girls dressed like bad girls. Now its gotten so bad that good girls dress like whore's.....why? I don't know.....that's a uniform I wouldn't want voluntarily. I'm tired of seeing broads dressed like Jackie O when they act like Marilyn Monroe....those are two COMPLETELY different types of female. A nice pair of pearls or a pretty little necklace does not MASK the fact that you're kind of a SLORE! But this does not apply to females only.....there are PLENTY of fellas running around rockin their "GEEK" swag, tryin to be Jay-Z or pulling off the "Rock!" look Weezy style. But no matter how many stee-lo's they jack most of these dudes are still grimey ass niggas that really ain't bout shit. I really need for people to stop putting on different uniforms if they can't fulfill the Job Requirements. You don't see me waking up...going to my closet...pulling out a cop uniform and being like "U know what....I think I wanna enforce the LAW today!" If you put on your "Sophisticated Lady" uniform then your actions should MATCH. People can change their style up, but I feel that when you do personalities should change as well....because you normally look the way you feel, right?!

Crown Royal On Ice

NOT the drink!

This is what I like to refer to some people as, people who have a certain QUALITY to the tone of their voice. Have you ever heard someones voice that sounded like sex? A sensual tone that reminds you what it feels like when silk hits your skin! A voice that when you hear them say anything it feels like someone just gently ran their fingers across the back of your neck? STOOOOOOOOP! My sister says Marsha Ambrosius voice sounds like sex (the singer from Floetry). And I would have to agree with her on that....b/c almost every song on the Floetic album gave off THAT vibe. I actually have one particular friend who's voice sounds like Crown Royal On ICE to the highest extreme. This man could be talkin about GREEN EGGS AND HAM I tell you.....and I wouldn't even notice it because as SOON as his lips part my mind starts creating the type of visuals that show up with censor bars already IN THEM! The kind of voice that makes you want to be the WORDS that come out his mouth, so you can actually feel what the sounds feels like rolling off his tongue. He has the kind of voice that when you haven't heard it in a while and then you suddenly do everything around you stops. Or the kind of voice that when you miss a call from him you ALWAYS want him to leave a message, so you can listen to it then save it so you can hear that Crown over and over. The kind of voice that when you get a text message from him you imagine him actually saying the words, making the text THAT much better! I've made a lot of comparisons so you can read this and try to understand just what I'm saying....but I'm just gonna end with ONE LAST example: A Crown Royal On Ice voice, HIS voice, when you hear it its like every word coming out of his mouth represents a kiss he lays on every inch of your body, from the top to the bottom. I'm done....no really I can't keep this up! I know I'm not the only one who knows a Crown Royal On Ice or two....LADIES.....act like you KNOW!

Sidenote: I got the term Crown Royal On Ice from a Jill Scott song entitled "Crown Royal"
Here are the lyrics just in case you've never heard the song:

"Your hands on my hips pull me right back to you/I Catch that thrust give it right back to you/ you're in so deep I'm breathing for you/you Grab my braids arch my back high for you/your Diesel engine, I'm squirting mad oil ah/Down on the floor til my speaker starts to boil/I flip s**t/Quick slip/Hip dip/And I'm twisted/In your hands and your lips and your tongue tricks/and you're so thick and you're so thick and you're so Crown Royal on ice"

A Go LIVER (pronounced LIE-Verrrr)

So while I was writing "U'd still smash tho," I was listening to Get it Girl by Chip Tha Ripper and he used the term "Go Liver." I had never heard the term before but I was pretty sure I had a good idea of what it meant, but just in case...I did an urban dictionary search. It's basically someone who is ready and willing to engage in sexual activities whenever, wherever, however. Immediately I was like "That's not cute!" but then I thought about it a little longer....lol! That may not necessarily be a BAD thing. If you think about it there is probably at least one person that could turn you into a Go Liver whenever they're around. I feel like if you're not a Go Liver with EVERYONE then that's fine, and maybe there is just one person that brings that side of you out, so I say HEY.....go for gold...in fact if you're reading this...STOP RIGHT NOW....hit up your Go Liver immediately and tell them you're ON YOUR WAY!!!!!! Hahahaha TERRIBLE :P

U'd Still Smash Tho!

Dudes run their mouths just as much as some females do, which is a mind blower to me. I hear guys talkin about the different chicks they're talking to or beatin down, and you should hear some of the things they SAY! Whore is reemerging as a very popular term for the loose jawns out here in the streets....I'm hearing it being used more frequently these days. But back to what I was saying....I hear dudes calling these chicks whores and all this other stuff and they talk about all the ILL shit these chicks do and SAY, but I'm like..."U'd still SMASH THO!" I don't wanna associate myself with some skeezy ass nigga, sometimes ignorance truly is bliss and if I don't know ol' boy is scummy then it could be a good thing (or NOT). But if I know he's one step away from being a PROSTITUTE why would I still wanna mess with him? Ewwww.....nooooo sirrrrrrrr. But nigga's will know these chicks are so called "WHORES" and still bang with the broad. I mean if you still gonna beat then you could at least stop talking about the chick because you're only BUT SO MUCH better than she is.....what's the old saying...."You are what you EAT!" LMAO ewwwwwww!

Can't Keep Me Anymore

Have you ever witnessed a bad relationship and wondered why the people don't just get out?!?! You're probably thinking to yourself..."no one is happy any more, the good times seem so far away and its better to just let go." But can you imagine how hard it must be to let go? You know the relationship isn't the way it once was, but you just keep believing that it will get back to the what it used to be or even better. As soon as you've made up in your mind that you're finally gonna let them go, you just keep replaying all the good memories, all of the I Love You's, the future that should have been, and for a second all of the pain goes away. Then once you get in that mind state you try to figure out what went wrong and if you can fix it because you don't want to risk missing out on the reemergence of the "Old You" (in reference to the other person). Then you're right back where you started.....still holding on. Is it wrong to love someone so much that no matter what you always want to hold on?

"I've been changed and rearranged and it's not like it was before, and when the sun shines I'll show her why she can't keep me anymore....me anymore.....she loves me"

808's

When tracks first started leaking from Kanye's highly anticipated album 808's and Heartbreaks, a lot of the critics were being quite skeptical and RUDE. They were saying he was "Experimenting," and other things like that. But me being the R.O.D. supporter of Kanye that I am, I never doubted the man! From the moment he first performed Love Lockdown....with his grey suit on and that lit up broken heart....I knew Ye was about to give me something I didn't even know I needed. 808's is good from beginning to end, bottom LINE. Ye starts with Say You Will, which is clearly about his ex-fiance and it's damn near everybody's favorite track on the album. Then he goes into Welcome To Heartbreak featuring my future husband KiD CuDi.....this song is about how Ye has been grindin thus far to get all that he has, yet he doesn't have the simple things in life, like a family or just time to be with his loved ones....I mean DAMN....your God sister got married by the lake and you couldn't even stay for the CAKE? That's tough Ye....cake is CLEARLY the best part! Moving on.....next up is Heartless, where he's talking about a cold hearted broad....THE END. I love Heartless as well....but let me tell you why.....that BEAT DROP in the beginning right after he does the chorus.....ILLY.....I immediately rock the shoulders like "You need to WATCH the way you're talking to me YO!" But it's not all about heartbreak on this album.....just when you think you're gonna have to cut yourself, Amazing begins to play...."my REIGN is as far as your eyes can see!" Jeezy blesses this track and does a pretty good job......very much expected from Mr.Jeezy Hamilton. Love Lockdown has enough bass to blow someone's speakers out....turn this one down a little when it comes on, let's not have an incident! Paranoid is just catchy as HELLLLL...."Why are you so paranoid...you worry bout the wrong things, the wrong THINGS!" LOL! But Real TALK No SHIT.....people don't be so paranoid that will drive Mr or the Mrs away. I'm not gonna lie...when I first heard Robocop I was NOT a fan...this is the one song that had to grow on me and it did "OK...Ok ok." Funny story about Street Lights....this was featured on an episode of Grey's Anatomy...a show I watch faithfully and get a lot of good music from. I'm not sure what I was doing....b/c I was paying attention during the entire episode, but I somehow did not hear them play Street Lights...and not a snippet...but the ENTIRE SONG! Needless to say I was pissed when everyone told me I missed it, but WHATEVER! Every time I hear Bad News I wanna go out and SALSA....is that weird? I don't think so....long story short, I like this track TOO...."Oh you just gon' keep another LOVE 4 YOU (that was for you JUSE)". In comes the Vocoder Abusers Anthem...See You In My Knightmares featuring Weezy Wee. EVERYBODY Loves this song......I mean it bangs, but I think people just fall into the Gillie Hype....OH...I mean Lil' Wayne Hype. Coldest Winter is apparently about his late mother Dr.Donda West.....it's sad just like the situation but the song is of course GOOD. Pinocchio Story is the last track on the cd and it's a live version. What bothers me about this song is the screaming fans in the background.....I mean this man is pouring his heart out, crying and shit....I'm pretty sure now is the one time where you should stop being a fan and just be a supporter by giving him your undying attention. If I had to rate this album on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this bad boy 9.5 hearts(and not 10 b/c one of them had to be broken...for heartbreaks...get it? lol) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. People can say what they want about Kanye and 808's.....the man lost his mother and his fiance around the same time, if that nigga wanted to rap about crayons I would listen. A lyric in the Coldest Winter says "Goodbye my friend, will I ever love again?" I mean I doubt Kanye will ever read this, but YES Ye.....you will Love again.

Let me count the WAYS!

American Apparel is a clothing line that is made in the US of A and they make SURE that you know it! No sweatshops for THEM. While on the website I came across this scarf that you can wear a million and one different ways.....its soooooooo nifty. It's the Unisex Circle Scarf and its only $28, so go to the website and check it out!

The Simple Things (pt. Un)

Have you ever thought about the five senses...sight, touch, smell, hear, taste? They're such simple things but could you imagine what life would be like without one of these senses?

I'm going to start with TOUCH

Imagine if you didn't have the sense of touch. That means you can't feel the warmth of the sun on a warm day or the sensation of water hitting your skin in a hot shower. You wouldn't be able to feel a good firm handshake (I hate limp ass handshakes....man the fuck up! lol). No point in petting fluffy puppies because you can't feel anything. No running your fingers through anybody's hair (ladies if you are running your fingers through a dudes hair, that nigga better have locks or be John Stamos....b/c nigga's with long hair in this day and age are not POPPIN!). Now let's dig a little deeper: You know that feeling you get when you wake up next to *that person* and your arm is around them or their arm is around you....could you imagine not having that sensation? TERRIBLE.....just plain not good is what not having that feeling would be like. Next time you touch something and you get a good feeling, think about not having it and appreciate it all SO much more.

Ghostwriters

I feel like if you are a rapper and you have a ghostwriter then you need to change professions! I don't think I could even ghostwrite for someone.....like I'm listening to the radio and I see nigga's feeling my shit and they don't even know its my shit? I understand that some people don't want the shine....but I'll be damned if someone who didn't work for it gets it. So apparently Jadakiss is a ghostwriter, as well as Jay-Z, T.I. and Gillie Da Kidd is a writer for Lil' Wayne. Do you see all this recent shine this nigga Wayne is gettin? No wonder Gillie pops shit about this nigga on his mixtapes...HE IS HIM....HIM IS HE...WTF? Nas, Skillz, Pharoahe Monch, and the D.O.C are all ghostwriters....for people like Will Smith, Dr.Dre, Diddy, Foxy Brown and even BIG were mentioned. BIG is some people's favorite rapper and you mean to tell me he didn't even write some of his shit? Just goes to show why Tupac was always better in my opinion! The ghostwriters say they don't feel "undervalued," but I mean WHATEVER.....if they're fine with collecting whatever money they get paid for their services but no credit then I'll leave it alone. But I'll never look at some of these so called "Rappers" who use ghostwriters the same way EVER again. Ohhhhhh the Fakerrryyyyyy!

How did we get here?

"How did we get here?"

I realized that I was asking myself that question a lot towards the end of 2008 in reference to former friends or associates. In 2009 I'm going to turn over a new leaf in regards to how I handle friendships. Normally if someone does something wrong I think to myself "does this person have characteristics that would make me want to keep them in my life in spite of whatever situation has just occurred....or can they be let go?" I don't know any murderers (as far as I know....I wouldn't put it past some of these nigga's though!)....so I think I'm gonna start giving people more chances. I know that if I messed up I would want another chance to right my wrongs. One of my best friends gave me a second chance and if he hadn't I don't know what my life would be like now, SERIOUSLY! I know what its like to have a friend taken from you, so I don't think I'll be letting any more go unless its really not up to me. We meet people for a reason and I think we should take the time to figure out exactly what that reason is.
