It's Friday.......... I need a drink!


How can a job that doesn't endanger your life make one so miserable? I promised not to turn my blog into a job-hate rant so I won't go there..... peep this little lyrical lovely for blog-groupies everywhere.


blog to me in a way that I’ll forever want to hold you

caress me with verses that seem to linger in my ear

you penetrate my thoughts with your blogetic presentation

leaving behind mere whispers of a voice I long to hear......


Now that's gangsta!


Before you right-click & copy/paste the above, know that it's COPYRIGHTED.

Seeing as how my work was recently boosted, yes, boosted! As in all-out stolen, thiefed, 5 finger discount, hope nobody saw that 'ish, tooked! Not by a commoner mind you, but a respected well-known member of black religious society. He stole it, he published it, he claimed it but I have the original. I ain't namin names & I ain't trippin since it was my fault I slipped & didn't acquire the rights to my work at the time. But KNOW this, I forgets nothing & it ain't over.... he knows who he is....IT AIN'T OVA!


She's Forever Your Girl!


Too bad nobody gives a damn.

What's the world coming to when Britney Spears can bite the hell out of a cheeseburger & it sells for $500. But Paula Abdul can't sell a date, a shopping spree & a trip to NYC? That's right, noONE bid on Paula's ebay date so the site pulled the listing after 4 days! Now, that's gotta hurt!

As in; Prom date shows up to the prom with someone else cuz he forgot he asked you HURT!

As in; Spending the day at the spa, new hairstyle, new clothes, professional makeup, mani & pedi only to show up @ the party, run into your ex & his new girl has on jeans & a t-shirt that says "Vote For Pedro" & somehow looks 10x better than your azz HURT!

Just sad!

Paula's a hot mess now & we all know it but in 1989, she was the 'ish & I was her biggest fan! Oh shut up... like you don't have someone famous who you're embarrased to say "I used to LOOOOVE them". Paula could dance her butt off & in HEELS at that!!!
Beyonce who!? Let's not forget it was Paula who first donned a pair of pumps & tap-danced, jumped around, & straight got her boogie ON! I loved "Forever Your Girl" but I saw the end coming when she went for album #2 & had a miserable performance (remember Vibeology) at the MTV music awards that left both of us feeling sad, depressed & ashamed. After that, I knew her 15 minutes had officially expired but it didn't matter because it was a hella of 15 minute experience... BTW Janet, Paula will take that "THANK YOU" any time you're ready.

Moment of silence to respect the technique!
Click the link, watch & be impressed....

CELEBRITY RIDDLE:

Q: What do Angelina & Madonna have that Britney supposedly wants???
A: I'll take "African Baby" for 500 Alex.

Ding! Ding! Ding! You are correct!!!

I really hope this news is false. Honestly people, African babies are not handbags, you can't shove them in the back of your closet as soon as they go out of style! If you're a danger to your own kids why screw up the life of a kid that you don't have to buy, oops, I mean adopt.

For some reason, I just see celebs going to third world countries visiting orphanages with their checkbooks out all "I like this one, no wait, wait, that one is soooo awesome!", "Does it come in a 5 or 6 month model cuz a 6 month model would be so perfect for my Vanity Fair photoshoot next month!" "I hear they photograph better".

One thing's for sure, when these kids get older, their going to have one heck of a book deal..


I LOVE BARACK OBAMA!!!


I would love to see him as the next president! Besides really caring about the state of the world, he is very comfortable in his own skin & knows who he is. Plus, he has a REAL family that doesn't just play one on TV. U know what I'm talkin bout. He is genuine & he certainly has my vote whether he runs or not!! No, that was not a typo or grammatical error... WHETHER HE RUNS OR NOT..


A new hotty-hot-hotness has arrived! Thank you Oprah!


(pic doesn't do him justice but it's the only one I can find)



I've been tuning in to the Oprah show every Tuesday to witness the adventures of her road-trip across America with her B-F-F Gayle King. I think Gayle is naturally hilarious by the way..

To meet her fitness goals, Oprah has a road trainer with her courtesy of Bob "boy-am-I-a-lucky-fitness-pro" Greene. The road trainer is Chris Robinson & he seems really easy-going with a great smile & an obvious love of fitness. Gayle's admitted she thinks he's a lovely distraction while O acts like she hardly noticed. Chile puh-leeze. Fine is Fine & HE is FINE! All I can say. Fine.


WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE..... (personal moment interruption)

So, the other day, I had a rough day at work. Okay, every day is a rough day truth be told but as usual I vented to HIM. As usual, he listened, sympathized, praised my underpaid work achievements & so it went. Then, today at around 1:15pm, I received an e-mail from the front desk. The subject was FLOWERS & I immediately dashed out there to see a beautiful bouquet of roses in a pretty glass vase. HE sent them just because he wanted to brighten my day. What a sweetie! 10 years & he's still full of surprises. Okay, now that I've clearly sickened you, here's a pic of the bouquet & I promise I'll move on...




Before I bid you bonne nuit, I MUST share this:



HILARIOUS QUOTE OF THE DAY:


"We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people."
Colonel Gerald Wellman


Honestly, seemingly intellingent people say some of the dumbest 'ish you'll never hear!!

Okay, till next time

Here we are...... again!


By again, I mean - Hump Day. So much to say, so little time......

What a difference, a deadline makes......

24 little hours..... I love that song. I just put the finishing touches on my very first article édité! I'm tired, red-eyed & stressed & questioning whatever made me think I had the chops to write for a living? I don't know how people do it. I'm waaaaaaay too critical of every word that floweth from my pen PLUS I have a huge disdain for proper grammatical structure so WTF am I thinking?! Oh well, I'll keep at it till carpal tunnel kicks in or my bloodshot eyes falleth from my sockets - - whichever comes 1st.

Moving on.....

The story of Marianne Pearl's life is both heartbreaking and inspiring but I had no clue that Mrs. Pearl is a black woman, or is it that she's more like 1/8 or 1/4 or 1/2?? Who knows but it's making headlines since Angelina Jolie, or A.J. as I like to call her, was cast to play the inspiring widow in a biopic of her life. I'm hearing the craziest things about the filming process such as Angie's playing the role in blackface!! Honestly, have you ever?!?

I mean really, does this pic look like blackface to you?



The media comes up with the most ridiculous 'ish sometimes. First of all, Marianne Pearl is light as day & I can't see A.J. even considering such nonsense! In the words of Mike Tyson - "simply ludicrous"!

Word on the street or at least here is that Jennifer Aniston was set to play the part when A.J. smoothly swooped down and stole it right from under poor Rachel. Daaang, sound familiar?!

sidenote: A.J. is one thing but JENNIFER ANISTON!?! C'mon now, she COULD NOT pull that off. (just look at the pics above if you doubtin)

Dancing Drrrraaaaammmaa!

It's not exactly news But there are just a few things I have to say about the "Sara Evans Divorce Rocking Dancing with the Stars" fiasco.

* She seems nice enough but she should've been GONE weeks ago

* She should've been GONE weeks ago because she CAN NOT dance

* Her best dance routine was to one of my favorite childhood songs! (NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY)


* BRING BACK WILLA & MAX since this is all unexpected and now the show will be 2 couples down instead of 1

* Cheryl is the best PRO on the show!

* Emmitt is my favorite "star"!
Example
* Mario is the best male dancer!


BUT ENOUGH OF THAT....


Could it be? Another rather entertaining network production entering my already too-full-to watch-TV schedule?

I'm really feelin the latest series to be added to ABC's Thursday night lineup. Six Degrees is chock-full of interesting characters, buzzing story lines & some not so shabby eye-candy I might add....

* Jay Hernandez (Carlos)
Nice-guy hotness! Carlos is your typical "nice-guy" lawyer searching incessantly for a mysterious bad girl he defends in the first episode.


* Campbell Scott (Steven)
Drunken stupor turned sober hotness! Steven is a brooding older, out-of-work photographer who struggles to pick up the pieces of his fallen career thanks to an ugly addiction that cost him his family.


MY FAVORITE:
Dorian Missick (Damian)
New York Swagger Hotness!! Damian is a hustler turned straight-laced limo driver with a dirty past. But more importantly, he's tres fine - he really reminds me of Mos Def (peep the voice) but his look is less 'off-center' & his voice is REAL NICE! (did I say that already) : ) Me likey... nuff said


Okay, I dished & dabbled enough for today, I'm really exhausted so if this ain't entertaining - pardon my faux pas!

I leave you with a little light-hearted LISTING to tickle your bloggin fancy....

Oh waitaminute, I just remembered I have to share one more thing!!


I heard there's a network execs meeting planned as a result of the Grey's Anatomy Brawl I reported last week. I really hope this isn't the kind of meeting where one of the main characters (BURKE) who doesn't like another main character (MCDREAMY) gets his walking papers in the form of a sudden (gasp!) exit that leaves us wondering..huh..where's..did-you-hear-anything about Isaiah quitting..... WTF?....so I really hope the guys squash this nonsense & let the fabulousness of Grey's continue!!

BUT, let's be real for a minute, say Isaiah does get the ole' boot-in-the-kisser, I want THIS GUY to replace him! It would be tooo much competition for ole' McDreamy & McSteamy combined! TRUST.

Okay, on with the listing....

I'd Love To:

* Win the lottery
* Retire NOW
* Work from home
* Do what I want
* Have no worries
* Sleep as much as I want
* Quit my job
* Travel back in time
* Have my grandmother with me
* Publish a book of my poetry
* Retire my parents (from working that is)
* Know for sure that heaven exists
* Establish the J.I.L. Camp Dream for kids in poor communities
* Have more time to:
- Relax
- Spend time with loved ones
- Enjoy life
- Read
- Take my time
- Do anything... beauty
- Write


That's it for today... thanks for coming out, god bless....?????? (those who KNOW, can finish the rest)
