Loud people urk me.


OK, here's another one of my pet peeve pieces. Today's happen to be one that happened a few days ago.
So the last day of school came and went and I'm on Spring Break. So far, a very rainy spring break. ugh. And my last day in my web design class, there was a girl who had received a phone call. Now, you think she would just take the call outside the classroom or something...you know, common curiosity (?) or whatever. Well, NO! She wants to be different! She wants to take the call right then and there in our quite classroom where people are working and take the damn call. And it wasn't just a quick "hey, I'm in class, call you later". NO, it was a long conversation about what?! I don't know! She spoke in spanish the whole time. She's Jamaican!! Then she was loud with it! And her voice sound like she had a bad cold or something. I was this close to walking out the room...that's just rude. And after her 30 minute convo, she didn't even apologize to the people she disturbed. That's some BS. But you know what, I'm glad she did it. Gave me something to talk about. lol
So next time you're in a public place and it's quite because people are, I don't know, working! Keep in mind, you should be considerate and just step out the room.
Til next time...

You're turning me off...


For a while now, I knew about Keri Hilson. Wasn't til earlier this year that I really started hearing about her. She's a talented writer, an interesting singer and (I guess) her style is ok. But why hasn't she made it big yet? I mean, isn't she really catching on? She seems to be doing everything right, right? Wrong! And that's my post is about today. Why Keri Hilson haven't blew up yet-My version.
1)Her voice isn't commercial enough. It's commerical...maybe a little too commerical but there's just something about the way she sings that hasn't quite picked up with the in-crowd.
2)Her style. You ever seen her album cover? (what's that you say? you didn't know she had one out? damn, damn, DAMN!!-florida from GoodTimes) Anyway, about that album. Well, first of all, what is she doing?! She's sitting in the middle of an ocean? puddle perhaps? I don't know. She's sitting in her grandmother's living room arm chair. Hmmm... There's a odd color sunset behind her. Her hair is...well, the way she usually rocks it. And those clothes! Ugh...leopard skin print tights under some kind of tunic shirt/dress thing. And the whole color of the album period...disaster. Way too much is going on in that album cover...*Shaking my head in slow motion*
And last but not least....*drum roll*
3) she's Keri Hilson. There's nothing wrong with her. She actually does have talent but you notice that all these behind the scenes people are jumping out of the woodwork? Everyone is trying to make an album. Be the next, I don't know, Ne-yo. All these song writers are good writers and I'm sure they can sing their butt off because after all, when you write a song for someone in a pacific way you want it to go, you have to sing it to them. BUT, that does not mean you should take your career on the road which you probably make more money writing than you do trying to be an entertainer. That' s just my opinion though.
Now, before anyone gets all offended and defensive...I have no problem with her. She's cool. She's talented. I think she should just stop with the solo thing...that's all. Keep writing and appearing in videos.
Til Next Time....

Bad choices, careless thinking


You ever have those days when things are going ok, not great just ok, and then something happens and it just get so much worst!? Yea, me too.
Well, I can say this all started yesterday. My day was actually pretty good. I got a free drink at Starbucks just because I took the time to talk to lady that was working. She was nice. :) Then I got some free chocolate from one of my favorite chocolate stores...just cause. In return, I brought her a smoothie. I went to work, it was kinda busy but cool. The day went by fast which was good for me because I didn't wanna be there. LOL I talk to my bff on the phone for a minute until we were disconnected. Then I headed to one of my co-worker's house. She was cooking dinner (which was actually some food she promised me) and ended up inviting some more people over for the food,too. We talk for a while (while Family Matters was on in the background, hehe) and she finished cooking. Finally, the people she invited came over. We talked, played some random game "brutle honesty" since we didn't have any Uno cards. Now, I was happy I wasn't a klutz all day...until just when I was leaving, I spilled a full cup of juice. Not only it got on the table, it got on the floor and my very expensive phone that I didn't even have for a year yet. *sigh* Always Fubu, right? I ended up getting home very late and had people worried and mad. Stupid me, didn't call and a lot of this could of been easily avoided...or at least just took the food and ran. hmm... So, the next day (which is today) I didn't exactly get up on time for work. My phone was also my alarm clock. I had my back up old fashion one with the bells... it woke me up too early. I'm tired as crap right now. I got to work an hour and a half late. My manager was giving me a hard time, too. I don't care though. After work, I went to T-Mobile to get another phone. I had to call the insurance company which lucky I had. :) Then they gave me this terrible old school bootleg loaner phone to borrow until I get my new one in the mail. This thing suck! It's in black and white, the buttons are hard to push, the applications suck and ring tones...ugh...don't get my started. And now I'm at school trying to figure out this 3D program for the um-teenth time...*sigh* Could of been worst, right?

Random iz what they call me!?


I was talking to a really good friend on the phone the other night and she was telling me that she reads my blogs. I was like, "thanks! that's great! I'm glad someone does!" She told me that after reading my blogs, I am very random. lol. I guess there's nothing wrong with that. After all, I am, kinda.
So, every so once in a while when people actually wanna comment on my post, I get those angry people who curse me out because my views are different from theirs. Isn't the whole point of blogging is stating your opinion? Who says you gotta agree with them? damn. for an example. I mentioned in the Keyshia Cole post that I always get people cursing me out about that lady just because I don't think she's God's greatest gift to R&B. I'm sorry I don't feel that way. News flash: Everybody isn't going to like what you like. But for sure, someone was sending me an very angry message about how jealous I am of Keyshia Cole and all the things that didn't have anything to do with what I was saying in the post. Hmm... ok. And then I get some angry rapper mad because I told my experience at West End mall. Honestly, I don't think anyone in the right mind would like that place. For real. I mean, even Ryan Cameron (V-103) said he wouldn't date a girl who shopped at West End for a date. Come on now. It's not just me.
I'm not going to stop saying my opinion on things, because why? Who am I trying to please? If you don't like it, don't read it. I don't read, watch or entertain things I don't like. Why? Why waste your time? And for those who know me personally know I don't mean any harm on this stuff. I'm just talking/bloggin...
Anyway, I gotta go to school.

Food Porn: Chocolate Fondue


Hey...it's that time again. I know it's been a while.
Another tasty edition of (yes, that's right) Food Porn!

Today's delicious post is...Chocolate Fondue. Yes, dark chocolate fondue from the Melting Pot.
It can be milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate...how about that yin yang?
Dark cherry chocolate or a banana foster. :) Yummm! Are you into flambeed fondue in front of you? If so, you'll love that silky white chocolate swirled with disaronna amaretto which is flambeed right at your table. Talking about flaming hot entertainment! (Yeah!)
Rather have pecans and caramel in your chocolate? Try the flaming turtle! Also flambeed! Whichever one you choose, you know it's going to be a winner! :)
Get you some fondue and let the chocolate turn you out! ;)

Adele gots my vote!

I been listening to Adele's album and I'm like, "wow, that girl can sing!" I love her album. It's a breathe of fresh air for once. And I watched that "chasing pavements" video. Classic. It's really artistic. I loved that, too. Those people dancing on the ground...very creative. I just had to comment on that.

elevators


You know what's so dang annoying to me!? When you're in a building and someone who has nothing in their hands or if they do, it's just a notebook and they take the elevator to the 2nd floor. What the f*** is up with that?! I mean, why can't you just take the stairs? I just don't get what walking up a few steps is going to do to you instead of getting on an elevator, waiting about 30 seconds and walking out. Oh well...maybe I'm tripping.

I went to West End mall & all I got was this damn weave?


Ok, so yesterday was my only day off of the week. (I work everyday) So, I decided to go on a little exploring adventure with my boyfriend. We went to the most ghetto-est mall EVER!!! It's called West End. (Atl.GA.) That place is so ghetto!! I kept hearing all the stories and myths about how that mall is. First of all, it's more like a plaza than a mall. Just one floor of so called stores. When you first walk in, there's people arguing outside in the front. Busted cars or cars done up with rims and loud music. Kids all over the place. There was NO air conditioning inside of that mall. NONE! It was hotter in there than it was outside...not to mention it was cooler on the train than it was in that mall. So sad.... The only stores they had was a few shoe stores, a music store, resturants like ricky's ny style pizza and jaquan's chiness express. (made up names) There was a store in there that was basically like a cross between the dollar store and big lots. A store that does nothing but weave. SMH. Jewelry store/those stands that sit in the middle of the mall. Oh, and get this, there was a store where strippers buy their gear. WTF?!?! What's really good?! I mean, it's funny because I was talking to my BF about where do you buy clear heels. Then next thing I know, I see a bunch of them in display in front of the store window...along with some other things...ugh. I guess on the bright side, they did have a Rainbow store. Man, who am I kiddin'? That was the WORST mall I ever went to in my life!!! I'd rather buy my clothes off the side of the road in the middle of nowhere of a truck from an old southern farmer named Hank.
Well, I got that out of my system. I'm not going there again. Next time, I'll just believe the roomers. Til next time~

Where did that come from?


I was in a deep sleep. I was woken by my huge orange cat. He was staring at me for the same reason every morning he wakes me so dang early. He was hungry.
It was very cold in the house this morning. I thought the heat was on. I heard rain. So, I thought it was rain. Duh! After my boyfriend left, I got up about 2 hours later so I could go to work. I got ready to go, I opened the door and WHAT THE HELL?!
Snow...it was frickin' snow everywhere. On the first of March. Odd weather. I wasn't prepared for this. I was hoping they would cancel work. No, they didn't. I should of known since the first interview with that job was on a snowy day like today. It was so pretty and nice and fluffy. I wish I was off to play in it but I could only look out the window at it. It was continuously falling. Beautiful. We don't get snow very often here, so it was very nice. :) All in all, it was a good day.
Til next time.

A love story between a Paraplegic & a monkey


You know what movie sucks REALLY bad?
Monkey Shines.
Yes, the old one. Why do I say this? Well... I never actually seen that horrible movie til last night and man, did I regret it! I remember back in the days at the age of 8 going to Blockbuster with my mom and brother looking for movies. My brother always wanted to go to the Horror section. I hated the horror section. Every once in a while, I'll go over there and see what's the fuss about. Well, I saw this particular movie cover of a stuffed monkey with a bloody razor blade. Creepy...
And I always thought, "Man, that movie probably is scary as crap!!!"
Fast forward um-teen years later, and I see this darn thing on OnDemand (some free movie channel) and decide to see what it's about. Big surprise, that shit was the WORST ... ugh...just terrible...BAD...I can't even find the words for that bull!
In a fuckin' nut shell, that movie was about some dude who just got through bangin' his girlfriend and goes out immediately for a jog soon to be hit by a truck and becomes a paraplegic. His friend, some "genius" who injects strange fluids into monkeys to make them "smarter" and some chick who trains monkeys to do things around the house for lazy humans. They give this man in the wheelchair a monkey and it does stuff for him and somehow is able to link with his thoughts and crap. Then the man realize the monkey is bad because it killed his mother, best friend, his asshole doctor-who could of saved him from being a paraplegic and his ex girlfriend-who got with the asshole doctor after she found out dude was paralyzed from the neck down. Ending: Dude takes a huge bite out of the monkey's neck and ripes him/her apart. And he gets another operation so he can walk again. Ends up with that lady who trained the damn monkey.
HOW LAME IS THAT!?!?!? UGHHHH! That was waste of my time and energy and memory. I could of had a V8. Dammit!!
I know I don't usually curse but that movie was pretty Fuckin' bad. Not as bad as the Gingerdead man....DON'T SEE IT!!!!
Til next time...
