Sheees Baaaa-ack!

And thank goodness!




Thank you, Jill!


Wow, I can finally openly gush with joy over this cd. I've had the advance for a little while, but I tried to be considerate and not gloat, LOL. I went out to purchase a SoundScan-able copy today, and people, please support my girl. It is SO worth it. My only request that I have of Hidden Beach ( or Jill herself, you got that scrill to do it yourself, ma!) is that a single and video for "My Petition" be released by October so that come November, people will have had a little to ponder over, as if the past 4 years haven't been enough.

Support good music people!

You can say what you wanna...

But Serena is a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD ( meaning very good, of course!) chick!



The media is trying to play her, regarding her choice of gear for her opening match at the U.S. Open this year.
Face it, white America, you CANNOT fuck with this chick.
PERIOD.
Get over it! To loosely paraphrase on of my favorite comedians, Paul Mooney;
Black people have rhythm, grace, and style. American white folks wanna be us, but DON'T wanna be us. You also hate the fact hat we can outdo you at sports you tried to exclude us from. Live with it, and stop fronting and trying to throw shade. You'll live longer and more happily. All that envy welled up inside you can kill.


*thinks to self, that sounded VERY hateful* Well hell, so have all the articles related to Serena been this week! Hmph!


Nah, but really, WHOEVER is hating on this chick needs to stop. She is smart, beautiful, has killer athletic prowess, she's creative, and SHE's RICH, BIYAAAAAACH!


Tee hee. Rant over.

I've just come to a conclusion about something.

There's someone I REALLY cannot stand! It's taken me about 5 years to come to this conclusion. You know how some people just can't stand to be wrong? They're like that! However, when this person has no choice but to condcede to being such, they have to just HAVE to have the last word! Disgusting! Petty! I just feel foolish to have just been picking up on it after all this time. I have an uncanny knack for pegging people immediately, but apparently this person was flying under by bullshit radar. Well I'm hip now... this bitch's signal is reading like .
The good news is, I don't have to be bothered with them, and so ends my random rant for the day!

Stop the presses, I'm blogging twice in one day!

Yeah, so I just wanted to pop back in real quick and hip you guys to MySpace. It's kinda like Friendster, but in my opinion, better. Mostly because is has a lot more melanin in the joint! It's also a lot more user friendly. So... wanna see my profile ( and a couple more pics of me)? Here ya go! I think I have a pretty respectable amount of friends there without going overboard. Some people have HUNDREDS of friends! Like, do they REALLY know these people? I've found myself rejecting friend requests there, because I don't know the person from Adam, nor Eve. I've even had a freaking marriage proposal in my inbox! How serious it was, I don't know, but homeboy looked mad suspect. Peeps are crazy as hell, I tell ya.

So yeah, if it appeals to you, sign up, and we can be friends! But like, only if I can basically figure out who the heck you are, once you join ( or if you're already a member). Random internet people are creepy. I don't talk to strangers.

*grins*

Man, I knew this was coming!

If you know me at all, you know that I'm an avid lover of music. I'm also a part-time undercover budding artist as well ( but we'll leave that topic for another time, yes, we will!), So it's only natural that my child would love music just as much as I do. After basketball,one of my pre-teen daughter's favorite pastimes is beating on any hard surface she can find. Tables, books, walls, etc. If it makes a sound, the babe will beat. She decided during the first week of school that she wants to play in the band, and play the drums! *rimshot* Lawdhammercy.

Lover of music and the arts that I am, I want to encourage her to do whatever she wants, since my childhood and teenage dreams were strongly discouraged and frowned upon ( that's a whole 'nother entry too). However, I sure did try to steer her to another instrument! Flute perhaps? ( like Harold Laws!) Sax? (Najee!) Trumpet? ( Dizzy, Miles, Roy Hargrove!) The reason? No good one really, just that I thought that maybe another instrument that involved the movement of air might be quieter than one utilizing tapping and banging would. *shrugs* So, band tryouts were earlier this week, and to appease me, she tried out on the trombone, and kicked ass ( my lil J.J. Johnson!), but she threw down on the drums too, so I guess since she PLEADED with me over the drums... drums it will be. I really think she just gets off on doing things that most other girls don't do, but we'll see. I'mma just let her get her little Cindy Blackman on.


Bang Bang.

It's that wonderful time of the year....

So I've successfully gotten my daughter's first week of school under way... I'm glad... She's glad, but I'm already noticing other parents' lackadaisical attitudes about school in general. This is why Georgia's public schools are among the lowest rated schools in the country. Yes, I can partially blame the government, but if parents don't do their part at home, as well as fight for their children in public forums and being proactive when the gub'ment provides the oppurtunity... then they're going to just... be dumb!
I feel myself about to get "soapboxy", and I don't want to ruin my good mood I started to day with. But I'll be back!

Daaaaaaaaaaamn!

Rick is dead y'all!

He was cold as ice long ago, but now he'll be cold....forever!

I am not sad at all! I have nothing but good memories of Rick James; my parent's and relative's tales of his debauchery and onstage antics, Dave Chappelle's homage that put him back on the map, he and Teena's Ceephus and Reesie impersonation last month at the BET awards, and of course, the music! Hell, I even named one of my links after an old Rick James song!

Let me take a moment here and dance to my all time favorite Rick James songs, "Cold Blooded"


My condolences go out to Rick's loves ones. To everyone else, don't be sad! IT'S A CELEBRATION!

Dammit...

Jam, why do you always have to have these cool links?

If you love music and musicians click here


*sigh* I'm sucked in, y'all.


So yeah, anyway, I went and met my formerly-internet-now-real life acquaintence yesterday. I only stayed a short time because I'd already made plans with some family members.
I wish I'd stayed longer because I had a great time! She and her children are dolls!
I'mma call you , girl! LMAO!



The outing that I went to with my family was to the movies to go and see Spiderman 2. I fell asleep. Can you believe that? I won't say that the movie was bad, because I slept through half of it, but I WILL say that it's very very TALKY. I'll have to go see it again to give it a fair and complete assessment. The actions scenes that I DID catch were badass, although frighteningly reminiscent of the last installment of The Matrix.


Okay, off to explore more of that cool link!
