Offended much?

URBAN MURAL
Original Article on Fox News
go figure


Is this artwork? Or such a harsh reality that it makes buppies offended? Are you that removed from urban reality or the depiction of it that you never met "cha-cha" or "Ray-ray's girl". Well.. I for one am not. Yes, I was raised in the semi/cityish (yes i made that up!) suburbs. But while I would love to celebrate a mural of Serena, Condolezza, and Mrs. Obama. But I even work in a school, that is of mixed population. I do see "Serena" coming to pick up little Grace with a business suit. However more commonly I spot "Lashay" coming to pick up "Sincere and Nasir" with 4-inch heels , jeans soo tight I know she was at the club last nite! You know with the black weave and purple extensions in the front. While I would like to say Only God Can judge them, the fact is that society has seen the image place out so often. It becomes the norm. So yes I love to see people of all races in a positive light. But this images are ReAliTy for someone. SN: Is it me or does everything "urban" appear to be "ghetto". Just wondering.

For the Luv of Hov....

Snippet for an documentary soon to air on FaceBook. Say hov!

Unsurprisingly Good


This was my first ever Christian fiction book written by a Caucasian author. I know, I know who cares about color. But I just like to support African-American authors. fist pump! I got it from a co-worker who loves books. We usually share our love for good books and distaste for some urban fiction. So naturally I was game especially after she told me she almost chose reading over shopping. I haven't read a book that I couldn't put down in forever. The last one was What Becomes of the Brokenhearted by E. Lynn Harris. R.I.P. When she lent it to me and I saw the cover, I was honestly in no mood to get reading. However Chapter 1 changed that! This story is based on the biblical text of Hosea. In short a man is told by God to marry a prostitute. In turn her gives her the BEST life she could imagine and she turns him away So many times. Although it the book is set during the time of the Oregon Trail I enjoyed it. The book gives insight into how God's love is unfailing, thus a REAL man after his own heart has love too! Love that is unfailing. I could go on for days but just read the book. It won't disapoint IMO. Happy Sunday

Splitsville



Two of my favorite celebrity couples have jumped ship! D-nice & Malinda are just newlyweds. I was really rooting for this couple. Especially after the way Mehki Phifer dogged her out years ago. (Google it!) Her wedding was fab, so was her shower hosted by G.Garvin..Well I hope they can work it out. The other couple I was rooting for was Monica and Rocko. I will admit to d/l I'mma do me...lol I really wasn't rooting for them to get married. Untilllll I saw the nice family structure they had going on. Via the Still Standing Show. They appeared to have such a strong family bond. I knew there had to be a reason she didn't marry him. I'm sure he was probably living in the shadow of her career somewhat. But really Rocko she stayed off the music scene for a while. So you could "DO YOU" I am really upset at how this is going to effect the boys. :( This is a classic case for my arguments against "Shacking UP".

...Monica could've done this record justice.

Love Hurts........It damn sure does Nivea when you get married have twins by an upcoming producer only to go down SPLITSVILLE ALLEY...and have a baby by a tatted-up often high rapper only months apart from his other chic a beautiful WORKING actress...Love :So many people use your name in vain. Nevertheless heres the video:


I like the song though...The fur hood is killing me, all these baby daddies and you couldn't get a mink or a Maybach..or even a nice leather belt vintage maybe, Sheesh..And the I got these rhinestones in a pack of 40 from Jo-Ann Fabric, My cousin Peaches told me this ish was tight BODYSUIT..Looks like she found it in the Lost & FoUnD box @ Trina's School For Girls..Nuff said.

Y.O.G.A.


Yay!.Orgasmic.Go Me!.Ahh
OK OK...I took Yoga and loved.Hence the title of this post. My instructor "Lexie" Turned the lights out and started talking softly. My body instantly went into sleep mode and I started yawning and stretching. Initially I got past my fear of being an obvious novice. The fact that I was the only person of color singled me out too. But it was so Calm and relaxing/ Warrior poses were done on both sides of the body and we did some block movements. This got me hooked. I was so refreshed I stayed up past my normal 9'oclock bedtime. Still waking up on a natural high was pure bliss. I was suppose to go tonite but I needed some me time. Lets just say I haven't SLEEP that good in a while.

I'm BAAACCK!

Okay ....So I know people are reading my blog, besides my "Natural High BFF". So i'm back on BLOGGER...I kinda gave blogger his papers, welll competitors are so great! I tried Wordpress and because I have little to no knowledge of CSS code I was lost. SOOO I moved to TMBLR which I absolutely adored playing with the 1000s of layout choices, I spent a whole day being thrilled with the ease of uploading music and messing with the logistics of my page. Only to create my vision, and realize there was no room for comments. So I slept on it, I actually feel like ppl don't feel the need to comment on my blog. As lazy as I am about posting. Well I added Disqus a comment server. Disqus turned out to be a disaster. Reading the FAQs some Tmblr themes do not support the service. Of course my "took a whole day to make blog" was one of the themes. ..So Im BaCk.
