random typings on my blueberry

I've never posted 2 my blog via my phone so thought if give it a try this am! Hmmmm guess ill do a recap 4 my #1 fan/love of my life/my Janet Jackson in atl :)

Months ago my Roomie told me my blog makes my life seem boring & I must admit it def does, but it just moves too fast 2 blog about! Ill never be 1 of those super cool bloggers w/ 50 trillion followers, but I'm happy w/ my 1. ... Hmm looks like I'm not getting on metro right now bc that train was too packed & wouldve had 2 hold on instead of type.

As I listened 2 the radio this am I heard a caller on DC 101.1 call members of his fam bam "livers w/ legs" which I think is hillariously sad & heard too many t.I. Songs I swear I hear more songs now that he's goin 2 jail than I did b4. How come there's no outrage & hoopla about his gun charge last year & folks refusing 2 play his songs like there is/was 4 Chris breezy??

Woohoo! On the train & off 2 work prob have 2 end this soon bc don't get service under tunnel. Good ole red line is always stopping on the tracks so guess ill keep typing 4 now. Sooo taxes r done & I'm super happy about that. Fiesty carribean lady from hour block who did em told me 2 challenge her next year by getting married, havin kids & buying a house! Told her nah, but ill donate more 2 my charities. Ok gotta go b4 tunnel

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG I WAS SOO SCARED ALL OF MY DAYS WORK WAS LOST 4EVER B/C I HIT THE TUNNEL RIGHT AS I WAS SAVING IT! ok, at work now, must go well, work. closing thoughts:
- i'm overwhelemed by seeing obama every week. i understand he's trying to be a more visible, people's president, but it starting to smell like good pr to me
- the idea of polygamy is interesting to me. how do we know we're supposed to be matched 1 to 1??
- reading an interesting book called the wordy shipmates by sarah vowell & it's super good, but i NEVER alot time to read it, so i'm only on like page 8 & i've had it for weeks
- 3 of my favorite people are having a smoke cigars, sip wine & read get together on friday! knowing them they'll go all out & have the hugh heffner smoking jackets, loafers, ascot (if they owned a monicle, they'd probably have that in too)
- ummm guess that's all... wish there was a way to automatically import tweets into a blog entry then my life would be 10 times easier!

song o the day: turning me on (keri hilson ft tpain & wayne)... "... & the oa-k-ley shades go so hard with it" :) good job to tpain for only cursing 4 times & still having a solid verse!... interesting keri hilson verse, but i like her bc she's from atlanta...of course i loooove wayne's verse

tax, smax & mr president's picks

3rd times the charm! apparently nancy killefer, obama's pick for chief performance officer for the federal gov, has tax issues as well...

she failed for a year & a half to pay employment taxes on household help. an ap article goes on to say "in 2005 the DC government had filed a $946.69 tax lien on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help"! funny b/c yesterday i changed my book of face (facebook to the rest) status to say how funny i thought the quote from senior republican was: "Listen, no wonder that Democrats don't mind raising people's taxes, b/c they don't end up paying them themselves."

song o the day: what i would tell obama's background checkin team- relax max (dinah washington) & take your time, no skimming embarrassing details... this song is totally awesome! 1st heard it on a doubletree commercial & i couldn't rest until i figured out who it was. then it just so happened there was a documentary on bbc about her i found a few months lata.

let the games begin, oh, i mean festivities!

let the games begin... ok more like festivities begin for eden. not crazy about the name, but i've never been on homecoming committee so can't talk; i'm mad the video on the homecoming site is so serious!!!!

we went to mccxxiii (1223) for the fashion show after party last nite... met my friends in the super long line (apparently they were there for almost an hour), went in & realized there were more folks in line than in the actual place (hate when places do that so it can look like it's the place to be)... everyone was on the 3rd floor & ended up running into some folks i knew. coolest part is that i knew the dj (he was my year at hu). it's cool to see someone doing well & achieving their dream...

next stop on the partay train is loooooooooooooooooooooooooove!!!!!!!!!!! (can you hear the faint "chu chu" in the distance)? ha, i crack myself up!

election coverage-
don't really feel like talking about last debate b/c everyone's torn it apart & the subject feels a bit hackneyed now... plus though it's my blog i like staying neutral on most topics.

with this said, i burst out laughing when smoe said it looks like obama's been, smoking everything under the sun b/c of the color of his lips. i loved mccain's antics (body language, smirk, sly remarks)... i'm sure this was 1 of the most popular pics on the web yesterday & me likey so i had to include it:


and now it's time for his close up (classic)







was sent the following video this am & it's amazing that some people believe barack is an arab & did being arab become a kiss of death after sept 11, or has it always been like that?? i personally like arabs. i was telling someone every other time some news channel is reporting on a bomb or suicide attack & there's a group of mugshots i often think 1 of the guys is cute... think whoever i was talking to called me "sick" or agreed, cant remember :)

in other news-
also, as bbc is 1 of my 5 homepages that pops up when i get on the internet, i saw a super interesting story. it was all about peter norman. he's the other guy that was on the olympics award podium when tommie smith and john carlos threw up the black power fist... (b/c bbc is amazing) in addition to having eye opening stories such as that, they also have really essential news such as "the leggy blonde" being pregnant w/ a calf turns out it not about a hot chic & bestiality, but the 1st asian pachyderm (hence leggy) to be artificially inseminated (hence preggers); it also has tufts of blonde hair (hence blonde)!

new word-
learned it after eading the comments section on the peter norman storyquotes
(n.) chuff- A rude, insensitive person; a boor; (adj.) chuffed- very pleased; "I'm chuffed to have won"

learned a new word yesterday too: septuagenarian (a person who is 70 years old or between the ages of 70 & 80)... yeaa for learning! too bad i feel like my spelling is getting worse b/c there are systems to finish my texts & spell check & abbreviations, o well...

songs o the day:

i can't go for that (no can do) & maneater (both hall & oates)...so soulful. they always look like they have so much fun, plus no matter your musical tastes you can't fake on Daryl Hall (the blonde, who's aged quite well) & John Oates (dark hair & porn mustache)!! 1 of my fav duos ever

bobby (dis)may

so bobby may is the McCain campaign's chair in Buchanan County, Virginia (& treasurer & former correspondence secretary of the Buchanan County Republican Party). i'm super late but just got wind of his editorial in va's voice, which was apparently picked up in sunday's la times. below are just a few quotes from the racist article:

"Obama would hire the rapper Ludacris to paint the White House black”

"Democrat's administration would divert more foreign aid to Africa so the Obama family there can skim enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream"

May also joked that Obama would replace the 50 stars on the U.S. flag "with a star and crescent logo," an Islamic symbol, and that his policy on drugs would be to "raise taxes to pay for Obama's inner-city political base."

"Mandatory Black Liberation Theology classes taught in all churches - raise taxes to pay for this mandate. Put Rev. Jeremiah Wright in charge...."

"Appoint Rev. Al Sharpton as Secretary of State, Jesse Jackson as UN Representative, and let Bill Clinton handle all other "foreign relations" ... As long as Hillary doesn't find out...!"

read full article here; kinda hard to see, but worth it...

why are ludacris & 50 cent (also referrenced in editorial) always pegged as examples as the epitome of all things bad in rap?? think it was pepsi who dropped luda bc they said he had a "gangsta rap" image (from what i've heard he's a nice kid), then turn around & hire the osbournes for the same campaign? the osbournes are no brady's (do they have a foundation to help people b/c luda does).

on another note, let's say 2 guys do the same act on the same day w/in the same span of a couple of hours. both are arrested, but a grand jury voted to indict 1 on 3 counts, and a different grand jury voted to dismiss all criminal charges against the other b/c he was deemed a professional stunt man... sketchy huh? & these are the realities conspiracy theorist thrive in! but seriously folks, over the summer 2 men scaled the times building, reaching the roof before being arrested. The first was Alain Robert, a 45-year-old French stuntman known for climbing tall buildings; the second was Renaldo Clarke, 32, of Brooklyn, who said he wanted to draw attention to the problem of malaria... the latter was indicted... oh the disparities live on.

(don't judge me) but was watching newt on hannity & colmes (which happens like every other day) & the hosts got off on a tangent, and alan asks sean what he would do if a fam member came to him confessing they're a liberal, sean replied, "i'll lay hands & hannatize them!" now greta van susteren's on interviewing palin (who advised her to let her hair down?), b/c both of their voices are annoying i'm finding it hard to concentrate. greta just seriously jumped from title 9, basketball to bill ayers to rev wright. she took "a pass" on rev wright question & said she'd "let john handle that one". are vps the only folks privy to these passes when they dont wanna answer hard questions?.. next up, an interview w/ laura bush. should be interesting!

ps- when/why did cindi mccain get some fire in the belly?? doggoneit, betcha that barracuda is rubbing off on the heiress, rise above it cindi, your husband calls you names, but don't let em bring you into the mud slinging...

joe 6pack & the media cycle

am i a nerd b/c i was literally glued to the tv watchin live covered of the senate on cspan?? yea, probably but don't judge me :)

after almost falling asleep, decided to go pay the landlord. he franchises a robecks up the street from our apt, so very convenient; plus i loooove smoothies (2nd fav beverage, after water) so it's great when he makes me a free 1... when i told him it was good chattin w/ him but must get back to watch the news b/c senate approved $700 bill (no longer called a bail out, but a "rescue plan"). he then shook his head & said politics is politics and it's not going to benefit "us" anyway, i agreed, but was tempted to (jokingly) say that palin claims she's here for the average joe 6 packs, so maybe hope isn't lost for "us"... heard some commentator say at the rate the economy's going joe 6 pack may only be able to afford 3, ha!

after switching back & forth from msnbc to fox (i like the differing biases)... a lot of speculation about palin's performance tomorrow nite & showing (good) clips of debates she had running for gov & (not so good) clips from katie couric interview- i.e. she couldn't name a supreme court ruling she disagreed w/; she reads every paper ever; she'll be back right after these messages w/ examples of her running; lastly & possibly most appalling she'd "counsel" girls who are victims of rape and/or incest to choose life, that just doesn't make since to me...

in other news, watchin comedy central now & realized a new season of south park comes on next wednesday!! when did the colbert report get so funny?? if you saw it tonite you'd get the following hilarious quotes: "campbell's gonna make me mmm mmm rich!"; "sarah palin gutted joe biden & wore him like a pants suit"; "one nation under gay-baby"

lastly, for the the 1st time in vibe's history (15 yrs) they're endorsing a candidate: john mccain, ha! jkjk they endorsed obama... ok enough blogging. off to go look over a powerpoint for work. yeaaaaaa for presentations?! surprisingly yea b/c i like practicing my public speaking in front of different audiences. goodnite & goodluck :)

laugh now, cry later... the daily show

laugh now, cry later, not just a tattoo on an ex's arm but a relevant phrase. courtesy of ED, just got the following clip from the daily show about black women's butts! ok ok false advert, the whoooole thing isn't about the tuckus, it's a clip discussing mccain & obama in an old folks home. at 3 min & 40 sec a woman makes a comment about michelle obama's butt being big, and the guy's like don't all black women have big butts to which the lady replies "depends on which tribe they're from"! it's kinda funny, but very very sad. check it out here

argh, i feel blah today. maybe waking up early to work out isn't good for me... ok just looking for a way to get out of that routine, i prob feel frazzled b/c i need to take a break from everything/everybody & try to relax. plus feels weird to be w/o my padgekins (cell phone)...

random, but just heard the risk of being in a car crash goes up on election day, so choose to vote not die & drive safely kids!!!

song o the day:
love of my life (erykah badu ... pretty song, grrrreat video.
you got me (roots feat erykah) ... such a classic song! love questlove's drum semi-solo towards the end.

what kind of place...

what kind of place do we live in when:

• We judge presidential candidates by their mom’s marital decisions? I heard this pastor from Harlem on the radio this am saying he was raised to believe “white women who married black men in the 50s & 60s were trash” therefore “Obama is trash b/c his mom is trash”… then went on to say whoever calls "Bristol Palin white trash b/c she’s a teenage mom is terribly terribly wrong and doesn’t know the meaning of trash". Pastor Manning is nuts, see for yourself.
  
• We judge vice presidential candidates by their fashion choices. Ok ok I can’t even lie as a person who loves thrifting, I’m impressed that Sarah Palin used to frequent a vintage shop in the last frontier state! :) and is it just me or does she kinda sound like the mom (Martha Generic) from Bobby's World?
  
• The Chairman of our Committee on Ways & Means doesn’t pay taxes? (amongst some other shady actions)... oh, Charlie
  
• I have to pay $50 (up from $25, up from original price: free) if I’m not a good packer, or if I have to transport more than can fit in a carry on and 1 checked luggage...
  
• ...and I’m not even touching the financial entities (i.e. Lehman, Fannie, Freddie, Bear Stearns). But i am saying kudos to the (soon to be only) Bank of America as my brother works there… but um, can he get a raise, and not have conference calls at like 11pm? Banker’s hours smanker’s flowers :)
