Once Upon a Time...

I had time to keep up with this blog. That was long ago, like when I began this thing (2001!) Wow, all those rants about nothing (not really). I've actually been having some somethings brewing lately which has kept me away from posting until now, but it's good, or will be. Here's the shortlist, in random order.

1. I'm on myspace now. Yeah, I mentioned that in the other post. I guess its not addicted yet, but I have sent out a few friend requests today, some to actual real life friends, wow! I'm just trying to network with artists on the flipside of things. My dream is to promote music. One of these days that's gonna be a reality, and I'll blog about that too.

2. I'm dating...I guess. While I'm attempting to keep him anon for now, and not to really name and claim much of anything these days, since relationships can be so fickle, its safe to say that I'm dating again. I'll say this much about the guy: he's 25, a childhood friend of one of my HS friends, I met him in the club (of all places to meet a decent person), and has been quite a gentleman thus far since I've been getting to know him. We've been out twice already, and planning to hang out this Wednesday. Neither one of us is trying to jump into anything, but hanging with him has been quite - refreshing. Usually "refreshing" is not a word that I would use about a guy...this is new. I think I'm being so candid that I'm scaring myself, I'll just stop here with all that.

3. I thought I had a third event to list, but I forgot it. It'll come to me later. :)

"New" Internet Crack

I'm just now jumping on the bandwagon:
Find me on MySpace!

Really, I'm on there for two reasons:
1. Promoting my friends: DDB (they're on soundclick too) & Kesha B
2. Promoting my marketing services

Gotta get exposure somehow. It seems like half the world is on there, so why not?! But I'm still lingering around here blogging here and there when I'm indoors or hiding from people. :)

Barney Thuggin it Out?!

This is crazy and funny. Anyone that can take Tupac's "Hit Em Up" and match it up with Barney of all things, has way too much time on their hands.

"I got punk'd by cupid" and other (V-day) thoughts...

1. I got punk'd by cupid
I emailed this line to my friend June when she left a comment on my site...it's good to know that ppl I know in the real world reads my complaints and run-on sentences. :) Well, really I should have followed my instincts and not rushed into another relationship. Oh well, another lesson learned; I came out of the drama unhurt and empowered. I went over to the bum's house Friday night to get my stuff (movies, etc) and brought my boy Scoe with me just in case my ex tried anything. If anything, he was being a punk, he was too scared to approach his own car, cuz me and my ppl were standing by it. I wanted to laugh but I had to stay focused cuz I had to go all the way over his house cuz he too scared to come over mines (sidenote: he's never visited my place either). It's funny to me, my ex poses as a thug but he's such a punk. So the whole punk'd thing was just to be silly, and in reality he got too comfortable way to early, and wasn't that much of a gentleman, and I was being way too nice when it came to helping him ($ wise), and he took advantage of that. My girl Dal poked fun at me on how I used to react to breakups with all the uncertainty and leaving matters in the guy's hands. I talked to her on Saturday and she asked me "are ya'll still together?" I replied with "hell, I don't care...fcuk him!" She said she was proud of me and that I'm growing up, lol.

2. Love is for suckers
I saw the "Love is for suckers" tee that Tigger was wearing on the V-Day edition of 106 & park. Does anyone know where I can buy one? My mom thought someone would take offense to the shirt. I guess that they're being to serious anyways, get some humor in ya life. On the other hand, they're most likely that sucker the shirt's referring to.

3. The second gig gets the heave-ho...I'm so sick of it!
Yep, I put in my two week notice this week. It would have been on Friday, but my boss was out sick. The setup is stupid and borderline illegal I think. For starters, it's a small business; don't get me wrong I have no issues with small business, I root for the entrepreneur. But...I'm paid like an independent contractor (aka pay my own taxes at the end of the year), but treated like an employee. I prefer to get my taxes taken out off top, too much to worry about around tax time. I'm gonna have a fun time filing this year (sure...)! She guides me through tasks that I could figure out on my own, and she sits thisclose to my face. Really, can I get my 3 feet? Get off my lap! She's extremely picky about how the outgoing items are packed. Really, who cares about fingerprints on the tape or if the packing ship is crooked. I'm sure they're more concerned with the contents inside instead of the exterior. Then again, she's picky in general. About 80% of that is unecessary. And get this, she's trying to get two FT people in a one room office, and probably won't provide any benefits, or take any taxes off top?! That's going to be intersting if she can pull that off! I doubt she will. If she's going to do that, she might as well offer a student a co-op/internship position on a temp basis. Anyway, 2/24 is my last day, and I'm glad. Maybe I'll go and see Madea's Family Reunion or do something to celebrate. Now I can spend my afternoons chillin and looking for a career.

This Video Should Be Put On I-Tunes, ASAP!

...it would make a killing! In this clip we have Fantasia and Jamie Foxx singing at Clive Davis' Grammy party. Classic footage, just watch it and enjoy.

The Quickest Grammy Recap Ever!

Unfortunately it was a 3.5 hour lullaby. People performed (lots of mash-ups), and other people won. But the Kanye and Jamie Foxx performace woke me up. They were dressed like band leaders, were backed by a dancin g band, and there were steppers. Gotta love the Broke Phi Broke though, lol. Look here for more recaps.

Knowing that all the recaps were gonna be on the web somewhere, I shoulda got off my lazy butt and went to see Maya Angelou speak.

So Unfair!

Going through one of many job search sites (I'll be nice to exclude which site) to find myself a decent salaried job, I come across this:

We regret that we cannot consider applicants without a Bachelor's degree and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Goodness, I guess those with a strong work ethic with enduring circumstances while in college with a 2.55 cumulative can't apply. That's why I can't stand g.p.a. requirements! Although companies get talent from the high end of the g.p.a. pool there are some in the middle range that can work just as hard. How superficial! Oh well, there's someone out there interested in my credentials past my g.p.a. - somewhere! I'm gonna continue my search and stop complaining now...

Dave Chapelle on Oprah

It's pretty long, so get comfortable...

Happy Birthday Mama!

Thank you for being you. :)

Coretta Scott King 1927-2006

Like my friend texted me earlier, "...now she can rest with her husband Martin!"

...Leave Me Alone, Stupid Love Song...

I'm addicted to posting videos now. This is the video (finally!) of one of my favorite songs, "So Sick."

The "Amazing" Rhonetta Johnson

They have this American Idol video in the right category over at youtube - Odd & Outrageous!

It's Friday, Finally!

I found this site for video codes while on another site looking at these pics of Jay-Z and Aaliyah...anyway, the video below looked like fun to watch, plus I haven't seen it in ever, so I thought I would share it with all of you. All two of you :) I'm just glad it's Friday. The boss at my second job is working my nerves. She's out of town on business/vacation and how she's gonna have her 16 year old son to stop by to "check up on things"?! Hell, I shoulda been babysitting him! He stayed for two hours yesterday, doing homework! I was so pissed that I got a headache. Right after he left, so did I. Plus, I'm an independent contractor, which means I have no taxes withheld. I just hope I don't owe many taxes on my wages! Needless to say, I'm about to find work elsewhere, or just pick up more hours at my other job until they hire a replacement. Enough of the complaints though, just check out the video!

Today wasn't just one of those "stuck-in-a-routine" days.  Got up went to work, stopped at the store for soup (I'm addicted to Progresso right now) and arrived at home to kick around and relax.  Just wanted to post some links real quick while i'm wandering around the internet...

Check out the Amerie "1 thing" remix
