"that's what the whore's do"

It's friday

and i am bored as hell. i have finished all my work and i can't seem to find anything to occupy my time until 5pm. my lunch break was eventful because i had to navigate atlanta traffic in heavy rain and that is not an easy task. now i am back in the office, reclining and blogging. some people may say "what's wrong with that?" well for me this is my most productive time of day so if I am not doing any work it bothers me. well, that's my peace.

aight, so i been sittin on this one for bout a week. shut up, i had to bust it open first before i share. i learned that lesson from the homies, lol.



if u want the whole mixtape, put a click on it.

shoe game proper



see, so this is one of the reasons why my shoe closet is filled to the top and i have begun to stack the boxes neatly on the floor. but never fear, i have sworn to myself that i will donate a pair of gently worn shoes for every pair that i buy. that way i am creating room for what is new and passing on some good merchandise to others. each one teach one. now get you a piece whore!

speakerbox: Rich Hil




yeah so this young man is the progeny of a privileged family. can you complete his last name? anyway, he seems to have a penchant for vowel sounds but its all good because one of my favorite sounds begins and ends with an "o" ;)

i ain't forget

i just have a life outside of this virtual one! now now, don't get offended, i'm just sayin that my real life comes before the virtual one, we cool? good.

i have a secret...

i am afraid of bad storms, don't judge! i think it is their unpredictable nature and power. the fact that our home was struck by lighting and burned to the ground doesn't help either. hell, that is the main reason. what kills me is how the meteorologists get so hype over the storms. there is no other news on right now, just doppler maps with pretty colors, bummer. oh well, what can i do? well, i won't tell ya'll what i really do but you're smart, you can figure it out ;)

anyway, i leave you with this lil ditty. the sample is relevant to the post, if you can catch it!

speakerbox: Jeezy -- Welcome Back



"and i think i tasted egg and cinnamon" cause this video is C R A C K. i digs the gutter realness of it.

song cry

after writing the below post, i felt inclined to follow with this video. i don't think there is a direct correlation but here it is. turn it up, close your eyes, listen with your ears and feel it within! oh yeah, that's an order...lol



in case you want to sing along.

so i have had a few conversations with some friends over the past few days and it seems that some of them have parted ways with their lovers because of less than stellar Valentine pony shows i.e. their guy didn't spend enough, how dreadful. now don't get me wrong, i don't hate valentine's day, its cool. i just feel that it is completely overrated + i am more concerned about what is done on the other 364 days.

so back to the situation at hand: i mean seriously, you're telling me that you have just cut him off because he didn't buy you enough stuff? I would understand if ya'll have been together for a while and he didn't show any appreciation. but, ya'll only been seeing each other for like 3-4 months. besides, its a recession! well at least that's the reason people are using for most things these days ;) me personally, i don't celebrate any of those lil "holidays" until i've been with a man for a minute, i takes my time. gift giving for me is personal and should be memorable. if i am gonna give, i need to know (1) you appreciate me first (2) what your likes and dislikes are (3) what really makes you smile and brings you joy. it's not about the monetary value, the sentiment lasts so much longer. nothing is better than giving someone a gift that they truly like, love, enjoy. they will never forget who gave it to em.

and i'm out...



McNuggetini? not even on my fattest fat girl day would i attempt to eat/drink this. but then again, if you take away the BBQ sauce and nugget garnish it might be str8, lol. the drink itself is just a Mickey D's chocolate milkshake + absolute vanilla vodka, see that's not so bad.

bricks

and no not the kind gucci mane raps about. but the ones that are necessary for building a life.

so today was a productive day. i wasn't certain because i got off to a late start, but then again i was up until 4 am, so that's my fault. so anyway, at work i have been assigned a new project to coordinate/plan, yay! it may seem strange, but i get very excited about making events come to life and i am pretty good at it if i do say so myself. the last event i coordinated for this group was awesome, they were so impressed that they even sent me a gift to say "job well done." so i am ready to get started, i love working with a budget because it allows me to be extremely creative and efficient.

on another note, i made some connections for my business. this collaboration will be awesome. there is a young black entrepreneurs network(Y-BEN) networking function on Thursday that i have invited some potential clients to. this atmosphere will be a great for making new connections and promoting the creative process. visit blakmanpromotions for more information about Y-BEN and how they are connecting young professionals.

now, to get some more business cards printed up cause you know i am fresh out!

call me a hater, but please don't call me a liar. i am speaking the truth on this one. this ensemble gets two thumbs down. the cut off shorts, shiny stockings (WTH, ur in Arizona!) and peep toe pumps? what is wrong with wearing some jeans?

never never land

is going out of business. look at what Michael Jackson has up for sale, ahem auction.

ain't this some mess

so i am walkin towards my car and checking it out as i approach. as i am walking i am thinking to myself "is the sun hitting my car wrong" but no, what do i see? this shit right here. what the f**k! someone hit my car overnight. damn. good news is that the insurance company has not given me any hell. and yes, i will be filing a claim. i am not worried about an increase in rate because for as long as i have been with them, the least they can do is help me keep my car together. shit, i'm almost done payin for it so it needs to look like a car that is being paid for. so with that, hit me if you know someone who can do it for the L -O.

idlewild blue




okay, so i am not too certain about the extended crotch on Dre's pants. the other two looks defintitely show RL's influence on the designer.

if you like it then you should put a purchase on it!

camay

well Ghostface titled a song after this product. i liked the track. but my interaction with Camay isn't so lyrical because my right eye is f'd up off of it. i don't know what i was on while showering but i got a ton of soap in my eye. i have never felt pain like this. here it is 2 hours later and its still burning, WTH? oh and the drive in to work, a miracle. once the sun hit it, it was a wrap. my eye was watering ridiculously, and wanted to stay closed. can't navigate I-75 traffic with closed eyes, but i did!

2.11.2009

and i'm out...

old school playaz to new school fools...

something cool

the gift and the curse a.k.a. girl stuff

well if ur here then chances are that you know me. personally. so with that, it is known that i have large breasts. not a large chest like a damn dude, but large breasts like a woman. it is important for me to support them because am not sloppy. so to do this i must buy bras of quality = money. so i shop here. got measured and she tells me that i am a 38GG. GG = Good God ?...
...and the curse continues, lol ;)

good news for the day

i found $2. and no, not some that i lost, but someone else's $2. i like it tho!

they killin me shawty

i'm just sayin. i was with my homegirl tonite, having drinks, catching up and shit. you know how that go. anyway so at the end of our run we settle the bill. i provide my portion and initially i tell the waitress that she can keep the change. she brings all our money back to the table, so then i say "oh you cool, i didn't need change". so then she like"oh its cool, don't worry bout it" as if to imply, "i don't need your funky ass $2" ain't it a recession? so i politely put my exact change in my wallet and tipped right on outta there. anyway, that's my peace.

my circle is not that big!

... yep, i did it. i erased 50 "friends" from FB. it was good to see that they are alive and well, HOWEVER i have very little interest in all the other ish that comes along with being "friends" . i'm not one for unnecessary chatter, unless i am drunk lol!! anyway so i am 50 conversations lighter, hmmmm...i wonder if the page will still jump without them. doesn't matter, ha!

Modern Art

aight so...

...today was monday, so ya'll know how that go. anyway so i am o-v-a FB. people on there talk about too much private stuff, in public, WTH? for real, they need a life. i don't know why i care so much lol. so i will be deleting quite a few folks and tune in to those i really wanna hear from.

2.05.2009

been thinking about the good old days,
when i was a whipper snapper,
i used to try and get a kiss,
but now it is a heart i'm after.
nope, not bout to hit ya with another quote,
but yep, this the realest shit i ever wrote.

i'm tryna catch the beat...,
but not the one that moves your feet.

so what i'm on right now, is different than it was before
a couple things uncertain, i think that's why i want it more.
anticipation, excitement, eye contact and consideration
is what brings me back, to see what's on your station.
yeah, i can catch your rhythm, but...

i'm tryna catch the beat...,
but not the one that moves your feet.

so do i submit my demo tape
with the hope that this Black man prez agrees i'm great?
or do i remained unsigned hype,
perfecting my skills, ready for when the time is right?

...to be continued...
