I Love It When You Call Me Big Poppa!


I originally intended to write about " My bloody Valentine", but as it was sold out. I decided to see Notorious. I was curious. I mean we have all grown up listening to Biggie. We have heard the stories, we didn't really truly get to know the man in life. So the only thing left was to know him in death.

The movie simply put is good. How accurate? Not so sure. If you want to be gullible and believe everything you see and here than you will love Biggie without taking that into consideration. Now I like Biggie, and I am a fan, but he isn't as innocent as this movie possibly portrays him as. Yeah he did sell drugs, yes he did have faith and Lil Kim, but we are only given a sneak peak of the beef with Tupac. To be completely honest While both men are very influential in Hip Hop even after death, we know that without the whole East Coast/West Coast Rivalry neither man would have the type of celebrity that they both have attained. It is almost as if in death they gained more fame than they actually had in life.The movie never goes into who shot biggie. The movie never really goes into Lil Kim's real relationship with him( Blog later)

Verdict: The Movie is good.However I just advise that you come in with an open mind and leave doing research of your own. This did make me like Biggie's music more. I did walk away with a better sense of who Biggie was!

The Real World: Brooklyn





So It is January with many shows returning back after long Hiatus (in the case of Nip/Tuck) and some not so much. The shows that i am following right now are 90210, Bad Girls Club, Nip/Tuck( my true addiction) and The Real World: Brooklyn( Well we will see how long this captivates me).

So let's see... Instead of Seven strangers picked to live in a house, we are given eight. Four guys and four girls " Well sort of" as Ryan put it. There is a trans-sexual! Oh *shock*Gasp*Gasp. Like only every other show is putting a Trangendered person on. Now he or shall we say she is not a very convincing woman and everyone can clearly see that she was once a he. She stays mum on the subject, not sure of whether or not she shall tell. JD who is gay and can kind of identify with Katyln wants to go to dinner and discuss things with her. Ryan gets upset and asks " Why are you taking it to dinner without the rest of us?" Can we say salty much? anyway he may not have realized that by using the pronoun "it", he was being offensive. I won't dwell on that however he then moves on to his next question to JD." Are you Gay?". All of you who had that extra perceptive gaydar working were accurate JD is Gay.( Notice how i said he was gay before i knew for a fact?)...
Well in any case the show was pretty uneventful except for the hot tub(Which it is not the real world if the cast doesnt' strip down and hob in the tube, but even this was yawn worthy), I have no favorites... I doubt I will see the season to the end, I'm pretty disinterested.In fact, I'm indifferent. Pretty upset that every black chick as of late that gets on real world decides to get a bad weave (remember last season Brianna with those nappy ass braids?).
Maybe Next Week will present Some of that Home Grown Drama Real World is known for, only time will tell.

Ryan-The Homophobe/Army Man

Scott- The Virgin/mormon

Sarah- Girl who liked Girls. But now is in a relationship with a guy.*Emo-ish

jd- The Gay Guy/Nuturer* Who you wish wasn't.

Katelyn- The Trans-gender individual

Deaven- The Token Black Girl* Terrible Wig

chet- The Meat head who lives in the gym.*Made me think of weird science

I don't know her name ( and too lazy to look it up)- Girl who will prolly get jealous.

Kells

I have been saying I was going to write this blog for a very long time. It didn't make 2008, but In 2009 why not?

With songs like " The Greatest" and " I believe I can Fly"or what about" Sadie" (classic) .... it's hard to think of R.kelly as a sexually charged individual who is having sex with young teen aged girls. Then you hear his other songs like "The Greatest Sex" or " Sex in the kitchen" and let us not forget about " bump and Grind". So While we recognize that this man is a genius, let us not forget Aaliyah. Wasn't she secretly married to him at one point? Wasn't she his protege' like the girl in the video? I don't plan to really drag Aaliyah through the dirt here, because in the situation she was a child. Now that she is no longer with us, she can't really tell her side of the story or to what the extent of her relationship was with R.Kelly.

So he is innocent?
Really?
So that means that every person who is ever assaulted by a person with enough money or enough clout can just be paid off, or just fade into the background altogether. I can not stand a pedophile. Not that any one really likes these individual, but they are just a whole nother level of sick individual. I am however a psychology major and i have to see why they do these things. When it comes down to it we all have personal preference and the things that we like and want in a future partner. I know this is twisted, but follow me. I like light skinned guys that are at least 5'8. You may like Dark Skin guys who are 5'2 in any case it is what you like. Now here is the sick part, some people are wired differently they like prepubescent kids. They like when the body isn't fully matured.

R.Kelly was asked " Does he hang out with teenagers?" To which he responded." Define teenagers." Was he really serious? Anything ending in teen is a teenager. He is so far from reality, but i am confident that he hangs out with teens all the time in that case. Let's hope from now on he keeps it at the legal consenting age of 18. I don't care how fast a 14 year old is she has no business doing an old man.And Vice Versa.

So My verdict is this. Those who are genius, also have been known to be a little different than most. Some are eccentric like Einstein, some are pedophiles like R. Kelly and MJ.

We will discuss MJ later... If you disagree with me call my bluff. Say what you believe.

...but what do i know?

So I was gone for a minute! I've missed this!!! So what's new with me? Well the semester is over... and after everything... I still managed a 3.5 GPA. so I am happy about that and proud that i didn't let drama mess up business. Now i know why they say never mix business and pleasure. So i plan on doing what i do best, playing hard, and working even harder. Can you believe i got an A- in precalc? Me either...lol... Anyway, a lot of things were thrown into the air.

Also, My new word or phrase is : "I'm indifferent"... I think it sounds better than saying i don't care. It sounds a little more like some thought went into my response when i say it. " Do you like this shirt?" - My response..." I'm indifferent"... bitchy? Slightly.

I feel like this year was a year of many firsts. But I learned to except everything and roll with the punches... That's what life is really about... Being Proactive and not reactive. Calm under 500 degrees.

I've looked over these many blogs and realized where i was and what i was thinking at the time each blog was written. I am not even mad at any of the situations anymore, because they are all laughable. sometimes laughing is the best medicine and the cure to everything. I'm out...

Blogs on deck:
" Memorable moments in entertainment:2008"
" My New Years Resoultion"
" He is the reason, I have such a big ego"
"Kells"

Rehab...

I know i said i would not be writing anymore blogs until the 20th... but this i can not help.

"And I'll never give myself to another the way i gave it to ya..."- Rihanna ♥

I feel like i finally checked out of "rehab" and i feel like this was a really bad "trip". They say that if you love something you should let it go, and if it comes back to you it's yours. I don't necessarily believe in that anymore. I thought that i could move past the hurt and not think of it anymore. I thought wrong. The fact of the matter is rather than cleaning up the situation and making things good. We (This guy i met my freshmen year in Ms. Baldwin's Eng 101 class) decided to sweep things under the rug. According to 12 steps, the first step is admitting that there is a problem. He pretends that things are all good, and he will hit me up, when it seems pretty convenient for him. Does he ever stop to think that he is impeding my progress. I am having fun, meeting a lot of guys and they think i am pretty. Never once has he ever said anything that validates why he continues to try to communicate with me. When i asked questions about the status of what "we" were he would dodge the question. I didn't ask because i wanted to be exclusive. I asked because i was talking to someone else at the time and i was trying to evaluate whether i should take that step with the other guy. Silly me, because that guy is awesome. He has been there when things were just ill. He cares about me and all that he asks is that i am honest with him. When I experienced the shooting incident, he was there.However the game completely changed earlier this semester. I forgave that indiscretion, because i was not jealous nor will i ever be.Let's face it i was talking to someone else too, but i never made it official. He picked her for whatever reason and he liked her more than me. It was cool, because it is not the first time nor will it be the last that another female is chosen over me. It happens to the best of us. I was going to give things a second try, but after he was trying to get with my friend(via facebook) like i was not going to find out, I was just like," girl let it go." So there you have it. I am over it, and over him. I am having too much fun, to even consider going back to a time before, When I wasn't that pretty girl everyone wants to hang with on the weekends :)

Leave me alone( until December 20th)

If you are trying to get me to do something right now, you are setting yourself up for failure,because the fact is this, i don't have the time nor do i have the energy! If your name is not precalc... methods... sociology, Human Development, abnormal psych, you don't exist right now, and you are not important....Right now. So do not be suprised if you get snapped at, I am not in the mood, and i need to do well. This will be the last blog until December 20th, yeah 18 days. That's when i will be done with my finals, and also when my bestest Darron will be back. So maybe I will not even write one until the morning of the 21st! Stress is something real, and i don't need other things complicating it. Like Diddy said " Emotions will have you kicking yourself in the ass". I can't afford emotions or this revolving door that is my life!

Pressure

Tis the season for all the professors to throw everything at us, but the kitchen sink! Tis the season where we get no sleep, and wonder if we really absorbed anything that we just read. I am feeling pretty pressured right now, but with no pressure comes the inability to appreciate any of the fruits of your labor. Working for someting is so much more rewarding than when it is easily given. This philoophy can be taken into all facets of your life. When you don't have to work for something, you don't appreciate it... When you know mommy and daddy are gonna pay for your mistakes you rarely learn the lesson. ( Then again this is coming from someone who is spoiled) The thing is we all forget what importance the simplest things have because we are so preoccupied with the big things. "Breathe. Stretch. Shake. Let it go" MASE said it best. Live your life, and worry about what you have to do, keep your eyes on the prize! This too shall pass, and you will be all the better for it. It's the little things in life we forget. When you get back to the basics all the convolution no longer is relavent!
