These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things & People

I’m not Oprah, that goes without saying.
I’m not handing out Volkswagens or whatever else she’s been giving away this year. I do freely hand out snark and sarcasm only because it comes naturally. Recently, I’ve been quite lackadaisical when it comes to writing on this site, mainly because my C cups runneth over with the day job and the job that I actually enjoy doing, I’m left with little spare time.  But, You ‘tole Harpo to beat me? Oprah has inspired me to start my own list, that I’ll probably update every week, if I don’t forget.

Kevin Avery

I love a man with freckles. It’s even better when that man is actually funny.  Kevin Avery is a writer and comedian from San Francisco. He’s Read more [...]

McHammer & His Jay-Z Illuminati Fantasies

When I think of rap beef, the first ones that come to mind are always  East Coast vs West Coast, LL Cool J vs Cannibus, Nas vs Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj’s nose vs Lil Kim’s nose and whomever 50 Cent feels like picking a fight with when he’s bored.  Last month in Kanye West’s, “So Appalled” song, Jay-Z told the truth took a jab at McHammer:
Hammer went broke so you know I’m more focused / I lost 30 mil’ so I spent another 30 / ‘Cause unlike Hammer 30 million can’t hurt me. ~Jay-Z
Apparently McHammer was offended by the truth, and took this newly formed “beef” to twitter, and referred to Jay-Z as “Hell Boy”, taking more jabs at the supposed Illuminati influences that Jay-Z is under. As if that Read more [...]

Chelsea Handler, Kanye West, Ellen’s Son & That Excessively Pale Taylor Swift

Two hours and 15 minutes of my life that I’ll never regain again were lost last night. I knew I should have watched True Blood instead of the MTV Video Music Awards.  I can only describe those two hours in 4 words: A Cornucopia of Bullshit. The biggest disappointment of the night was the host, Chelsea Handler. Her jokes were horrible.

People in the audience knew her jokes were horrible, but of course they had to politely clap for the cameras. She confessed that she was “high as a kite”, who knows if she was joking or not, but you’d think whatever drugs she took would have made her funnier, hell, it worked for Richard Pryor back in the day before he would hit the stage.  According to Read more [...]

Takers, Rock The Bells & Lauryn Hill

My weekend in a nutshell:

Takers:

I only went to see the movie because Idris Elba was in a pair of underwear.
The movie was like Tyler Perry’s version of Heat. Chris Brown and T.I. should stick to music.
Idris Elba should stick to walking around movies in his underwear, preferably with his British accent.

Rock The Bells:

Women, when you’re attending a concert at an outdoor venue, do yourself a favor and leave the wedge heels, stilettos & platforms at home, when you fall, people will laugh. Never mind, go ahead and wear them comedy relief is always good.

Last year I attended RTB and I did notice the drastic changes this year in regards to the access the “press” was Read more [...]

Nicki Minaj: The Raymond Babbitt of Hip-Hop

Shawty Imma only tell you this once, you the illest (dat for dat dat dude)
And for your lovin’ Imma Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something all the girls want
You’re like a candy store
And I’m a toddler.
You got me wantin’ more and ma ma more of
~Nicki Minaj, Your Love

One of my favorite movies of all time is Rain Man. I’m sure you know the story of Charlie Babbitt having to take responsibility of his brother, Raymond Babbitt, who was portrayed in the movie as being autistic?  Charlie Babbitt (played by Tom Cruise- pre-crazy scientology eye) learns that Raymond had an uncanny ability to count cards and used it to his Read more [...]

Dear Lil Kim’s Face:

Dear Lil Kim:
I’m really not sure where to begin, but recently I came across a photo online and needless to say, I was taken aback  a bit a lot. To say that a lot has changed about your face is an understatement.
You went from looking like this:

To looking like this:

Sure, you started out as the quintessential black girl lost story and hip-hop was an outlet for you. Granted, no one is still sure if you’ve actually written any of your own rhymes, but that’s besides the point. Your face has been on the cover of countless magazines, and every time it appears some where, you’re gradually turning into a geisha looking prostitute that was attacked by an over zealous cosmetic surgeon and Read more [...]

He’s The King of Pop, There Ain’t No Higher

Last night before the kid fell asleep, he asked me if I thought Michael Jackson was in heaven and if the angels were dancing to his music.  At that moment for the first time since last year, I felt my eyes well up.  I lowered my head and the tears came streaming down my face. At my son’s age, Michael Jackson meant to him, than he did when I was 11.  Not a day goes by in my house without hearing a Michael Jackson song coming from his bedroom. He’s moonwalked down grocery store aisles, Target parking lots, and of course has thrown in random crotch grabs, but last night all he wanted to know was if Michael made it to heaven.
In my answer I tried to be as ‘diplomatic’ as I could be, because Read more [...]

Janet Jackson: Slaying Heauxs Since 1982

Last night, watching the season finale of American Idol was the farthest thing from my mind until I saw a tweet stating that Janet Jackson was making a surprise appearance. Immediately I turned the tv on and hoped I hadn’t missed her performance.  3/4ths into the show, I thought somebody must have lied, because my ears were verbally assaulted by past idols covering songs by some of my favorites artists, like the Doobie Brothers, Chicago and Christina Aguilera. So because I gave up, I started flipping through the other channels during one of the American Idol commercial breaks. When I finally found my way back to American Idol, once again another song was being butchered, this time it was Janet Read more [...]

According To Jimi Izrael Black Women Are To Blame: The Denzel Principle Review

For the past several weeks “The Denzel Principle: Why Black Women Can’t Find Good Black Men” has been sitting on my nightstand just collecting dust and waiting for me to get around to reading it.  First off, I figured I could go into this book review with a clean slate for a few reasons:
A) I had no clue who Jimi Izrael was until a few weeks before I received the book
B) Why wouldn’t I enjoy reading another book by a man telling me what’s wrong with women, particularly black women?
C) A & B
After receiving the book I still ventured out to find more info on lowercase (j)imi lowercase (i)zrael. jimi izrael is basically a jack-of-all trades. For those unfamiliar with Mr. izrael, he’s Read more [...]

Is That Your Cervix or The Black Hole?

A few days ago Michelle Duggar announced that she was pregnant with her 19th child. Yes, you read correctly 19th! All of the world was in joy when they made their announcement on television. Nineteen children. She even has a grandchild on the way as well. I’m all for a woman doing whatever she wants with her cervix, but I think they’re taking the concept of  ‘going forth and multiplying’ a little too far.

As a mother of just 1 child, my mind can’t even begin to grasp the concept of having 18 more children running around the house.  Apparently, the Duggar’s, because of their religious background, have opt out of using birth control. To each his own, I suppose. Birth control definitely has Read more [...]

DC Snobs & Strippers Without Poles

I truly think if my week started out on Tuesdays, it would be a lot better. Every Monday for the past few weeks, I’ve laid in bed past my normal wake up time of  5:30 a.m. I give myself an extra half hour of contemplation time. Contemplation time usually consists of me contemplating whether or not I’m going to actually get out of bed and head into the office. Unfortunately, for the past couple of weeks, me in an office on a Monday, just hasn’t happened. So as I’m laying here right now in my bed, it looks as though I’m not making it in this Monday either.
I can’t say I had the most exciting weekend to wrap up my month long birthday celebration. I was supposed to spend it visiting friends in Read more [...]
