And just like that.....

Tonight I watched Capitalism: A Love Story. Any time I watch a Michael Moore story I am always submerged into deep thought. I'm not really into politics but I am trying to make myself more aware of the decisions other people are making for me. I think that in today's world people need to take initiative about these things. I have learned that waiting for someone else to take of it will leave you worse off than when you started. Yes, Michael Moore is a little one-sided but I commend him for his bravery! He says/does some outlandish things (i.e. driving an armored truck up to all the big banks and demanding our money back from the bailout!) At least he is giving us another side to the "whole story." Unfortunately I don't really have much to say about it. I feel that no matter what I say won't really do the movie justice. Everyone should go check it out. It's on Netflix that's how I saw it! My last thought from watching it is that: All the teachers, polic...

By now you have ALL heard the term Swag! Or maybe be one of those people that use it! I'm not here to 'hate' on anyone's vocabulary..we all know how horrible that would be! But honestly what does swag exactly mean? Why is necessary to even use? Urban dictionary provides this wonderful definition: Swag: The way in which you carry yourself. Swag is made up of your overall confidence, style, and demeanor. Swag can also be expanded to be the reputation of your overall swagger. You gain swag, or "Swag up", by performing swag worthy actions that improve this perception. A person can also "swag down," by being an overall pussy and garnering negative swag for their actions. Swag is a subtle thing that many strive to gain but few actually attain. It is reserved for the most swagalicious of people. Swag can also be quantified, with point systems existing in some circles of friends. Along with these examples: "I got with two girls last night" "Aw...

What is happening in the world of entertainment? It seems like everyone as just let loose and flipped their lids! Lupe is off calling the president a terrorist, we all know about Chris Brown, Amy Whinehouse broke out of rehab, Wiz has blond hair, pretty sure I heard Diddy changed his name to swag or something stupid like that, Charlie Sheen has Tiger blood and Adonis DNA (-__-), and I'm sure there are plenty more that I can't think of right now! Just someone tell me why this OK! I mean if I went on national television spouting that Obama was a terrorist, with blond hair, talking about Tiger blood I would have been hauled off by Secret Service and later handed over to Intervention. Why is it fine for entertainers to be completely off their rockers and not me?! Don't get me wrong I like not be a cra cra (shout out to my bestie for that term!) But shouldn't we all be held to the same standards? There has to be someone to put them in their place so to speak! Cause I know if...

I wrote a post about this previously but it seems to me that it needs to be expanded upon or at least re-stated! Where on earth did 'please' and 'thank you' go?!?! Does anybody use these terms anymore? I know that amazing terminology such as swag has been added to our vocabulary but does that not leave room for manners! Do I lose any amount of possible "swag" I obtained by being polite to someone (cause Heaven forbid!) I was always taught to be polite. If in 20 years my mother heard I had the audacity to be rude to someone for no reason that would be my @$$! And I mean that! I don't understand how everyone has developed such a sense of entitlement. No one is beneath you. You have no idea hearing please or thank you can brighten a person's day. It's really simple! So I'm petitioning that we add 'please' and 'thank you' back into the dictionary! And if that means that we have to lose terms like 'swag' then so be it!

I couldn't really think of a catchy title for this post. This Sunday is always an emotional one for me. I have always considered myself a daddy's girl. I mean I love to talk sports and build things. Having a father to do those activities with is always ideal. I didn't have that growing up. Now with that being said this is not a post to bash fathers who aren't/weren't there. While this travesty is prevalent now-a-days I am not here to tell these men how horrible they are. Media and other women do that enough. I wanted to write this post because today was an amazing day. My baby sister graduated from high school Saturday and today was her graduation party. Both of my sisters had the honor of having my father attend their graduations. I wasn't able to have that and while at first it hurt me to witness this I have come to accept his efforts. I watched anguish in his face the whole weekend as he struggled with participating in our accomplishments. He wasn't prese...

I love my new hair cut! It is so simple and easy! And luckily I have the face for it! But I am a tad bit tired of people thinking I'm a lesbian because of it! I have absolutely nothing against people who are lesbian I'm just NOT!! And the length of my hair shouldn't be the determining factor! My hair is just short! That's it...Goodness people!

Like everyone else in America I have just watched Rihanna'a "Man Down" video. Now if you haven't seen it already I suggest you watch it before continue to read my post. Only because you might be confused when I make specific references! Now to my personal opinion: I want to begin by thanking Rhianna. I feel that what she has done is very worthwhile given her previous release of S & M. I won't lie and tell you that when that song came on I sang along like everyone else. Even though I'm not really a fan of whips and chains and all that other jazz but it was just so darn catchy! I'm getting off topic again. Man Down for me was one of Rihanna's most moving videos and songs to date. I believe she took a chance on taboo topic. Most of the arguments have been that the opening image of the video is "too graphic." Really? I find that hard to believe. I know that, I like many Americans, have been de-sensitized to violence. So that could be part of ...
