Can't Nobody Say Nothing Bad About Mrs. Michelle Obama!
“People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” -Michelle Obama
run to her side like a concerned mother running to a panicky injured toddler. I come to her defense like Johnny Cochran for OJ.
“Don’t nobody say nothin' bad 'bout my Mrs. Michelle! She aint never done notin' bad ta nobody...not nobody!"
What a shame! A travesty this is. I love Mrs. Obama to a fault. Blame it on her classic, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis- era style, or the way she so practically presents an argument with humor, or the man she stands beside. I want to believe in her and have thus, made her, alone, the great black hope.
Forgive me world. I'm human.
But people want a reason to discount Barack Obama. Please don't make Mrs. Michelle the scapegoat. Her comment was a slight in fracture. A faux pas if you will. Let's try covering our eyes, as we have done so often for 'dem good ole boys of our past (or shall I say of our present).
Agreed?

Beyonceitis is so Contagious !!!!!!!!!!
Hello World!
This week has been just plain Jane. Nothing exceptionally exciting , just “normal” I guess. The only exciting part of the week was when a friend of mine gave me a link for a Beyonce fan blog Beyonceitis. On this blog, the writer pokes fun at Beyoncé, her family, and others who may dislike Beyoncé. She does it in a rude yet hilarious way, you must at least have common knowledge of Beyoncé and her career thus far (i.e. her clothing line [House of Dereon], her endorsement, her family, her haters, what she wears to various performances/award shows, etc).
The brilliant beautiful black woman who writes this (of course it’s a black woman, who else could capture my attention by drawing me in with such intelligence and knowledge about my girl Bey!!!!) uses an exquisitely over the top ghetto vernacular which is one of the funniest things about Beyonceitis. Obviously I really love this blog and will be hooked until the end of time.
May the good Lord Jesus anoint Beyoncé’s wig and Freakum dress giving her the strenff to kill, yet another, performance booked by her father and manager Matthew Knowles years in advance. AMEN!

Ignorance Never Dies
A friend of mine recently showed me this little (well its really long) excerpt from someone she went to high school with. Please read it and share your thoughts.
“im gonna start this by telling you that Black, African American, Colored, Nigger, what ever you yourself call them they piss me off sometimes. this is not coming from a single incident i just have thought this for a while and it is black history month.... let me say that again Black History Month! are you serious what did they do so great to get their own history month.... we dont have an american indian month we dont have a white history month, come on man! all you see on black history month is a bunch of programs on black history thats great i guess because it is our history and people need to know history but why have a month why cant we just have it along with the other stuff on the history channel i love the history channel but dont wanna have black history for a whole month sure they play "white history " what is white history? world war 1? ummm no im pretty sure there were black people in that world war 2... nope they were there too. the cival war! HAHAHAHA yeah ok, black people think they are the reason for the cival war so you got me there.no its not white history or black history it is just HISTORY it happened it did not just effect black or whites it effects everyone you think the only people the american cival war effected was america hell no.im not saying that it didnt because obviously we were most effected, im saying that it had an effect on all of the countries Africa probly next to america because all of you people who think all slaves were forced on a boat go do some research, yes there were slaves who were forced to come over but there we also some who came willingly. AND there were some who were SLAVES in
These are some extra comments she found from facebook.com: Insolent moron continued:

just a quick clarification about the jewish people. A lot of the times the jews were not kept as slaves, just tortured and killed. We however just want to say, thanks for taking it all in stride as we continue to take over the world through the media and the financial side of government.

My 2 cents: I really wonder why people waste their time sound so utterly unintelligent. They're trying make it look like they're making a big valid point, when in reality, they just sound ignorant, puerile, insane, and so out of the blue its not even funny, not to mention they HORRID grammar (I know I’m not perfect either…)
With all the hateful bullshit they spewing you’d think he was Hitler’s grandchild or something. I know there's ocean full of people who still have an ass backwards view on life, but it's still really sad how we as Americans have no progressed one bit…shit is just more “hush-hush” I guess or they are much more passive about hatred.

Genealogy is cool!!!
Hello World!!!
SO SORRY ABOUT MY ABSENTEENESS…Well I’m sure some of you are wondering what the hell I’ve been up too…Well I’ve been living my life like it’s golden! My laptop is back and in perfectly good working condition, besides that it just been all rainy and boring.
OH! This weekend I was watching Oprah: Tracing my lineage (or whatever the show was call with Oprah in the title) and Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was helping her decode her pass. He was able to trace her genealogy about 6-8 generations back. Well about midway though the program curiosity got the best of me and I start o search Google.com for ways to trace my genealogy. A couple of Google searches lead me to Ancestry.com. I signed up for the 14 day free trial membership and started the search. Boy was I shocked at what I found, so far, I’ve found family records (WWI Registration Cards, Land Ownership Certificates, Death Certificates, etc.) I worked on this all week and am still working on it!!!!!!!!!! I even called my great aunt (89 years old) who told me that, “we have European blood in our veins baby…” (She literally said it like that) Portuguese and Spanish to be exact. She couldn’t remember the names or the place they hair from or even where went when they got to the U.S.(old people…) She only knew that he was (supposedly) a Moorish nobleman in Spain and when the Moors were driven out of Spin he fled to Portugal for a few years then came to America (don’t know why he fled…hopefully for something juicy like murder or a sex scandal) she didn’t even know what year (she could have made all this up to keep me on the phone) anyhow he came to America and fast forward 400 years or so here I am trying to straighten all this shit out.
So once I get all my family matters in order I will have (hopefully) traced my bloodline back to like the 1500s. HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?! I have already found records on my great-great-grandmother who was born in 1850 so I’m well n my way. You should try and search your family on Ancestry.com.

Again, this was meant to be posted last week but sue to little to no access to a computer and whatnot…so here is my last overdue blog.
Ok, after just reading what I wrote it doesn’t make any sense to post it cuz…well I don’t have to give a reason. I’ll just post the little Celebrity Scoop new I had.
Celebrity Scoop
Aretha Franklin trashes Beyonce for calling Tina Turner “the Queen”…now does Aretha have such a fragile ego that she has to trash other young and successful stars? I think she’s blowing this way waay waayy waaayyy out of proportion… Matthew Knowles (Beyonce’s father and manager) put out a statement:
“Beyonce referred to Tina as a `queen’. Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. “I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”
There is this person in my class that looks somewhat like an woman (a ugly woman with stringy hair and huge bifocals) who sounds/talks like a man. Is it a transvestite? Who knows, I live in

Hello World!
I wrote this last week but couldn’t post it until I got my laptop back…blah blah blah…here it is.
I swear
I guess my point is, why do people choose to get down with the get down in a college parking lot at 9:30 in the morning? Are they homeless? Super horny? Mentally instable? Probably a little of both.
“Black History Is No Mystery If You study It Everyday” Josie Teal
Sorry about the delay in blog posts
Sorry about the delay but I’m back now. I finally got my computer back from HP YAY! I thought they took forever but it only took like a week.
As I sit in my car in the parking lot finishing up some homework, I can hear Tupac blasting away like 5 cars down form me. It was 12noon and lots of people we just hanging out in/hear their cars(is that weird to anyone else?) but I had work to finish! Who cares if it was a nice day, not a cloud in the sky and no rain expected for a week…Umm..then a half naked man rode by on a unicycle and I knew that I should just leave, leave and never return. During class the teacher said that the homework wasn’t gonna be due until next week, which really pissed me off cuz I just spent 20 minutes in a flutter trying to complete it….oh well…everything is for a reason right???
CELEBRITY SCOOP
Did ya’ll hear about the Rihanna and Jay-Z spat? Apparently, that is according to (Media TakeOut.com), they had an argument at a Grammys after-party. When Rihanna won whatever award she immediately ran up to Jay-Z and hugged him (in front of Beyonce!) She didn’t hug her parents, manager, or publicist, but Jay-Z. Now if that isn’t some messyness mixed with sluttyness I don’t know what is…but then again this is just a rumor…so what do you think?

Beyonce and Tina Turner Give Magnificent Performance at 2008 Grammy Awards!!!
2 repetitive hours of the same dumbass questions later…
The red carpet wrapped up and everyone geared up for the GRAMMYS!!!!!!!! Alicia Keys gave a very lackluster opening speech…blah blah blah...Carrie Underwood did a great job with her hit song “Before He Cheats” and Rihanna and some old ass band did a very colorful duet/ medley thing…blah blah blah…more tribute stuff and old washed up starts presenting…Kanye West did a soul-stirring tribute to his mother the late Donda West. After, he won an award for…something, I forget…and gave a long(long because the Grammy people played the “hurry up and finish” music on him) but I don’t remember what it was about because I was playing on the computer…Alas, we go to a commercial break and return with Cher in some exotic and expensive looking get up. She does a nice little introduction for Tina Turner and Beyonce.
LADIES & GENTLEMEN THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR WEEKS
Beyonce starts off sitting in a chair, the beat of “Déjà vu” thumping away in the background, she says, “Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan. She goes on to do an interpretive dance of sorts as she describe how so many African-American women have paved the way for her to thrive in the music business. Here’s exactly what she said:
"Historical women who have performed on this very stage. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being on this stage. But I knew I need all the right elements.
Like the beat of Donna Summers.
The spirit of Mahalia Jackson.
The jazz of Ella [Fitzgerald] or Nancy [Wilson].
(band, gimme some! ("jazzy" bit of "Deja Vu" plays)
Lena Horne, Anita Baker, Diana Ross. Gladys [Knight], Janet [Jackson], and the beautiful melodies of Whitney [Houston].
The legacy they have bestowed are simply irreplaceable (to the left, to theft) {she really did say that} But there is one legend who has the essence of all these things; the glamor, the soul, the passion, the strength, the talent!
Ladies and Gentlemen stand on your feet and give it up for the QUEEN!!!"
Tina comes down the stairs as the music to “What’s Love Got to do With It” plays. She gets to the mic and smiles as if to say (Yes, thank you. I am great aren’t I…FUCK YOU IKE!!!) lol she then goes on to sing a song that I don’t know. After those two song s, she tells the audience that she would like to, “bring out the lovely Beyonce”. Beyonce sashays down the stairs in a very va va va voom sparkly dress. They do some of the classic sexy Tina Turner talk as they get ready to sing, “Proud Mary”. Beyonce and Tina let their hips rock from side-to-side as one arms sways to the rhythm and the other stays on their hip.
They each take turns singing a line from the song and then break out into the classic up tempo dance break. Beyonce and Tina looked flawless as they, “popped, locked, and dropped it”. They were, “rollin’ on the river” until the last second. At the end Tina gives a kick and Beyonce plays an air guitar. Next, they walk off stage holding each other’s shoulders and laughing.
WOW! Yet another unforgettable and spellbinding performance, this definitely is one for the history books!
The Grammys continue on but I start flipping channels and eating more than my fair share of cookies.

Beyonce Is Forbes Top 10 Earning African American Star
Not only she is one of the wealthiest woman in the music business, she is one of the top earning African Americans! You go Beyonce!
The Grammys and my broken HP Laptop
So how is everybody doing out there in blogland? I’m listening to The Beyonce Experience Live Audio on my iHome. And just thought I’d remind every one that Beyonce will be performing with Tuna turner tomorrow at the 2008 50th anniversary Grammy Awards!
Also I just wanted to say SHIT! My laptop no longer has the wireless connection in the “My Network Places” folder. So I had to get on the phone with HP and go through all the rigmarole…I finally got a hold of someone named Philip with a very think Indian accent. I was a little perturbed so I asked him where he was. He told me India and I said well what’s your real name…because I know ain’t nobody named Philip in India.
3 hours later
After trying several attempts to reboot, reinstall, etc. He said he could send me a box to send it in to the warranty fixer-upper folks (can’t remember the real name). I said my laptop is out of warranty, he told me he’d take care of that since I was so patient with him.
So that it really…I haven’t really been doing much. And since The Beyonce Experience Live Audio is almost over (She’s singing the finale, Irreplaceable) I’m gonna go shower and go out and have fun in the sun!

School Pulls Spiked Hot Chocolate Recipe Iowa Junior High School Pulls Student Newspaper Over Recipe That Calls For Schnapps
Officials at a junior high school spiked an edition of the student newspaper because it contained a recipe for hot chocolate that included peppermint schnapps.The January edition of Stillwell Junior High School's quarterly Tiger Tracks was pulled off the racks when the boozy recipe was discovered, Principal Tim Miller said. A student at the West Des Moines school submitted the recipe, which slipped through the editing process, Miller said. Miller described the mistake as an honest one, saying the student who submitted the recipe thought schnapps was a type of candy.
Now, I know and hopefully anyone who reads this knows that that student knows what peppermint schnapps is. And him telling the Principal that he thought it was candy is a just a lie(a bad lie)but a lie nontheless. And what Junior high School has recipies in there newspaper? Not that that's bad cuz I love to cook and wish my junior high school did that....I wonder how many kids asked thier parents if they could try it? and the parent was all shocked and appalled LOL! I wonder if they'd pull a recipe for bourbon chicken? The alcohol does brun off...right?

Beyonce Named one of the Wealthiest Women in Music
Tardiness is Indeed a Disease Affecting the Community
In my Intro to Sociology class people arrive EXTREMELY late! the class is from 6:30PM – 9:30PM-class really starts around 6:45pm and ends around 9:15pm- so you’d figure that people wouldn’t arrive to class no later than…7:15pm. Possibly 7:30pm at the latest if there was a personal Emergency. Anywho, class is going just fine; semi-boring lecture, secretly TXTing friends, etc. Low and behold someone comes in, loudly no doubt, at like 7:37pm. He runs and grabs a seat in the back. No biggie, right, so class goes on…but at 8:45pm some jackass strolls in all loud and shit and sits his happy behind smack dab in the front. I just don’t know how you can come in so goddamn late! If you’re gonna come 30 minutes before class is over just don’t come. Period Point Blank! In fact drop the class altogether.
Ok, that’s enough mf me ranting and raving for the day…YAY! Modern Marvels is on the History Channel. Until next time gentle readers : D

Hello World!!!
I knew getting material for this blog would not be a difficult feat; my life is a perpetual shit show! LOL!
I was listening to Chris Brown’s “With You” and quickly realized that he stole the melody from my girl Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” (To the left, to the left…lol). Who gave him that right??????????????????? Well maybe the melodies just sound similar…

A better blog is coming soon think of this one as filler!
If I could figure out how to get my TV to stop blacking out and flickering I think that would be much better. I'm trying to picture what they are talking about, it's hard when you can't actually see.
By the by, I'm watching Angel (the vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) I really miss it.
There is a small chinese woman rummaging through the garbage cans on the side of my house. Quite starnge really. Beyond nuts actually.
So, off to do laundry, clean, and then something even less fun...the gym maybe(more like Starbucks! LOL).

American Idol oh how you have gone way passed bad and straight to HORRIBLE!!!
I just finished watching American Idol and all I have to say is, OH FUCK NO!!!! Do people really go on that show thinking they are Kelly Clarkson or Fantasia Barrino? I swear they are paid to jump round and scream and then cry when they are rejected...MY GOD! And what really takes the cake is how they are playing up everyone's sob story(granted some of them are very tragic) I don't care! I wanna hear some good singing and laugh at the bad ones....the only sob story that kinda touched me was this one girl named A'Disa? or something, anyway, she was from a small town and all that jazz. She sang whatever song she sang, but did it well...unlike Temptress Brown who, also, had a tragic sob story. She sang "And I Am Telling You" form the Musical Dreamgirls (Beyonce...dats my girl!!!) which is a really hard song to sing even for the professionals. So, I just had to write a little something cuz American Idol has become just terrible... when do good shows like Heroes, Army Wives, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hell even Ally McBeal...any of those show would be better than stupid ass American Idol.
Now I'm watching House which I've just recently gotten into....Dr. House is hilarious!
Super Tuesday!!!
Today I had a test in my Anthropolgy class (which I was not prepared for), but due to my [fading] knowledge of Latin/Greek root words and just being smart in general, I managed to finagle my way thruough. Hopefully I did well XD
Last night I was watching P.Diddy's Making the Band 4 and let me just say; that was the funniest most ignorant mess I have ever witnessed. First off Danity Kane seems to be way more skilled...well at least they have honed their skills a whole lot more than "the band" which doesn't even have a name yet. Anyway, what was funniest was when Diddy asks Danity Kane leave the room to speak with his boy band. They we discussing some pointless shit when Diddy asks bandmate Robert if he has, "Bitchassness " in him? He gets all scared and profusely denies his bitchassness....Diddy may be talentless and gay but he sho is funny!!!
Quick Sidebar: Why did my teacher lecture us about voting and how women struggled to get the right to vote and all this liberal bullshit about voting, well THANK GOD she cut the test in half so we could leave early and vote? Which is probably why the test was easy...What is the world coming to?
VOTE BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!
P.S.
As I was witing this blog entry I was listenig to this stupid yet hilarious Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcast; Cool Refreshing Zima (check them out http://coolrefreshingzima.blogspot.com/) They're funny and cool :P
P.P.S.
This blogging shit is exceedingly titillating!

After much discussion and procrastination I have finally decided to staart my blog. (YAY!) So, from time to time I will share random little short stories/ journal entries about my life...Ummm well that's all for now.
