Ballbreaker Interview with the Smoking Jacket, up now. Classic Melissa Lynnette bitchery. Lol.

I get great emails. I really do.

2010-06-01T22:30:00.000-07:00

I don't even know how these jokers get my email address. It's not the one linked to any of my pages. Lol.

The email subject: Model Proposition - Can you use $7000?

So of course when I open it I'm expecting some ridiculous modeling scam. Instead I get this:

I have a proposition for you which goes along with my different way of thinking. There are figures involved but please understand the email and not just the figures. Yes there is something in it for you. I asked you because you seem to be pretty tight, well from the photos that is. I travel a lot and I really don't have much time for a girlfriend or a serious one, but I do have needs and this might be a good thing. I am able to send you $3000 a month and sometimes more if we were able to see one another once or twice a month on a personal basis. No I am not trying to pay you for sex and I don't want an escort. I am doing what a man is supposed to do for his lover or what real men should do. Just think I could wine and dine for $100 and eventually still get some ASS right? Not what I am looking for, it waste the little time I have and mostly the woman walk away with nothing or the man keep spending on a woman who decides after 5 dates and $2000 later she is not interested.

Let me explain: If I worked hard all week and gave my lady $50 out of my $180 a week check for hair, gas, car, nails or whatever it would be seen as a noble thing. No I don't think your a gold digger or hoe! because I am not looking for one of those. I want a nice lady who is mature enough to handle this type of relationship, can keep our personal business to herself and don't mind starting a love affair that might later lead to something serious. The money is in the play because I have no time for the wait for sex games and other drama that comes with those relationships. In other words it start at sex. Plus it's fair because men tell women they are in love to get free azz! :) Well if your interested we need to talk ASAP so leave a name and number.

Well if your interested and need some help making the economy work out for you the deal is $7000 or more the first time and $3000 a month if there is no drama. This is not pay or business and not illegal and should not be treated as such. Leave a name, number and more revealing preferably nude photo/s if your interested. If your not interested thanks and have a good one and there is no need to reply especially if it's dramatic. Thanks until you reply.

Working towards my sainthood

2010-03-19T15:47:00.000-07:00

Awhile back I posted this. It's a couple vids about Kiva and a link to their site.

Well today I did something better: I loaned somebody $25. I'm excited.

Now, I know. $25 to most of us is dinner. But the thing about Kiva is that through them, $25 is someone's way out of poverty. Someone's way to feed their kids or care for a sick loved one or educate a forgotten child. So I loaned it. And now, as I happily open up a box that came today from the unhealthy amount of online shopping that I do, a woman in Kenya can better take care of her family.

Do I have to be Catholic to qualify for sainthood? Hmmm.....

Bleh...

2010-01-30T10:05:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading this trashy romance novel this morning. I fell out after work yesterday and so once my nap was over, I couldn't get back to sleep until fucking 4 am so I pretty much read the book in like 5 hours. Whatever. That's not the point.

The point is the chick in the book (who it turns out was real, which doesn't usually happen in historical romances) was supposedly "beloved of the gods". A lot of good that did her, lol. Her mother was raped and killed by Roman soldiers, her husband, the king, was poisoned by his mistress's sons, her kingdom was destroyed and she was forced to be the mistress of a Roman emperor. If that's how the gods "belove" someone, no wonder human life is so often filled with misery and bullshit.

Anyway, I'm reading this book about this poor woman who was led to believe that she was so favored by the gods and so kept taking chances and whatnot, thinking that things would work out and it reminded me (vaguely) of someone: me. Lol! And I don't even consider myself favored by any deity. So why the hell do I still keep trying?

Probably for the same reason she did, poor actual woman from the 3rd century. Because if you stop trying, you might as well "take a dagger to your breast from the shame of it all."

*sigh*

I wonder what February is going to do to me. ;-)

Hi 2010!!

2010-01-07T08:19:00.001-08:00

I'm pretty sure that I never gave a thought to 2010 when I was younger.
You know what I mean. How some people go "in 2010 I wanna do such and such." Yeah. No. I've learned to stop planning. I've taken that "of mice and men" saying to heart. Or rather, it's stomped itself into my heart by means of hostile takeover. The last time I had a major plan not fuck up was when I voted for Obama and I still believe that that only worked because some other person the fates don't hold in disdain voted for him too. Just saying.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, it's a new year. And for once I didn't stay inside, terrified of drunk drivers. Instead I went to New York where drunk drivers have nothing on insane cabbies who literally try to ram into you when you're driving back to your girl's place in Jersey. Nice.

Yeah, that was awesome. Mainly because it's impossible for 2 silly ass chicks who embrace their ADD to not have fun doing...anything. Seriously. Getting dressed made us dissolve into giggles Saturday night. And by "getting dressed" I mean layering tights, leggings, tanks and t shirts then putting on a scarf and a coat and acting like that's the proper way to dress for a winter night on the east coast. =D

I'm snowed in today. I tried to use my magical powers to send all the snow to DC but I guess there was more than that 3 feet they got, because it showed up here while we were in Dallas for Christmas and keeps popping back up. Eww.
I've decided that I'm going to exercise today since I have nothing else to do and I am firmly "fat" right now. Yes, that's right. I'm not just on a no pants kick because they're cute. I also don't wanna deal with anything that needs my stupid hips and waist to cooperate with it because my hips and waist will win. More eww.

Speaking of ADD...see y'all. Pictures first though!

Christmas in Texas. My grandmother, 3 of her sisters and my cousin.

People playing Wii at Ebby's party and Ebby trying to be cute in the background.

Nicci not paying attention to the road in the Lincoln Tunnel.

Courtney. Bomb ass makeup artist, super cute chick.

Some guy with a mohawk who let me take over his hotel room in exchange for a lot of Dr. Pepper.

The bacon sculpture Nicci made New Year's Day at IHOP.

Ebby and her man. This picture is blurry because I had already had like 65% of my bottle of Veuve by this time.

Me and my snow ho, Nicci.

I have an evil expression on my face for no real reason. Or maybe that's my tipsy face. Who knows.

Happy New Year!!

I got these in an email today. Ha!!

This one is my personal favorite. lmao

I love this woman's blog

2009-11-19T16:37:00.000-08:00

Excerpt taken from here:

Notice whenever someone obfuscates the heart of the matter it is always for our own protection?…Please!…Where are the advocates for Black women in church who are like sitting ducks for predators mindlessly heeding the “wait” doctrine?

I am including an excerpt from my book “Black Women Deserve Better” to illustrate this wicked game…

——————————————————————————————————————————

Looking to God for Answers

Yes, I am going there! The only disclaimer I will give this passage is that it has nothing to do with my love for God. I am also far from perfect, but this does not disqualify me from pointing ongoing problems in the church. I do not believe His hand is in many of the shenanigans witnessed in Black churches. When I lacked understanding, my anger and questions were directed at God. God is awesome but still allows humans free will. After tampering with His plan, we can return to the right way of doing things. There has been an unspoken rule not to speak on the Black church’s role in keeping Black women single. Where should we begin? First of all, the Bible is being used as an unwilling accomplice to the “Called to be single” doctrine. From my vantage point, someone is getting a sweet deal in keeping around accomplished, bright, single Black women, with disposable funds at the ready. Call me cynical, but the absence of single Black women eternally free to cook dinners, volunteer endless hours, tithe, and run a gambit of ministries would leave many in a lurch. Hiring out these services would cost a fortune. This is another example of a situation where we all need to ask, Who benefits? Single Black women are often afraid to question this arrangement for fear of being rebuked. Is being a satisfied single the missing commandment? If the questions become too frequent and too loud the “singleness is a gift” mantra is crammed down her throat. In addition, her faith in God is questioned for “Making an idol” out of marriage. From personal experience, this is a major contributor to church hurt. Single women are often made to feel guilty for having an education, career and a place to lay her head at night. Otherwise, where would she live? I do not anticipate church leaders raising up to demand that single men take on a wife and stop procrastinating. God ordained marriage. The directive from Him to “Be fruitful and multiply” comes to mind. It’s the world that has perverted His plan into a “Forever satisfied single” doctrine. We should all pray for God’s direction, especially when making life-altering decisions. However, He will not send a mate via air courier. Singles must get moving! Another deception is that single Christian women have to jump through more flaming hoops than circus tigers in order to be deemed worthy of a spouse. Each book, sermon and seminar will place another obstacle in the way of marriage. The following list of actions includes great character builders in themselves; however, they appear to be used as stall tactics. Here are some of the ”go throughs” which are set before single Christian women:

-Sanctification

-Purification

-Trials by fire

-Fasting

-Waiting on the “breakthrough”

-Learning the art of ”submission.” Practice with dad, pastor, employer, neighbors, male dog, and the grocery boy

-Learning to be content with just the Lord

-Continuously exorcising the cemetery called “the past”

-Do more volunteer work

-Endless singles conferences that usually costs $50 and up a head. How much money do Black women spend on these things? Figure in lodging, gas, food, and purchasing supplemental materials relevant to the conference, and someone is making a mint!

-Working with youth groups, taking on babysitting, and holding other people’s infants to quell the desire for your own

(Update: Now single Black women are called to adopt BonQuisha & Ray-Ray’s & kids without considering the implications!)

-Reading more books advising the Christian woman to do all of the above again

The cycle never ends. That leaves Black women in their thirties, forties, and even fifties (yikes!) still waiting on God to deliver a Christian man in a sanctuary with little to no men. There is a popular Christian author who has put out several “Waiting on the Lord” books. She is a Black woman in her forties and has been waiting for a mate since I’ve began reading her books in the late 1990s. Sometimes I wonder if she is waiting for a Christian Black man in her church to rise up. Or is it something a bit more sinister?…

2009-11-15T21:19:00.000-08:00

I love leggings.

And I want the ones pictured below, but I can't bring myself to spend $348 on leggings because I have yet to wake up and discover that I have become Oprah's daughter in my sleep. Damn.

So instead I have to settle for these. *sigh* Lol.

Working as the BCBGeneration Specialist in Macy's Impulse Dept. this year revived my wardrobe and reawakened the dangerously trendy tendencies that live inside of me. Hence, the leggings. I even have damn shoe booties and various other Jessica Simpson accessories. I should take more pictures when I leave the house but I seriously suck at cam phone pics. I need a paparazzo on my payroll. He will be for TwitPic purposes only. ;-)

Oh yeah. I love Nicki Minaj. Since the general consensus on her is either intese love or intense hatred. Then again I don't give a shit about whether or not she's "good for hip hop" or whatever. What do I know? I used to have a Ma$e cd. lmao
Speaking of hip hop, how long are we gonna let Aubrey Graham be Drake? Is this necessary? Damn you CTV for firing him. Spinner needs a friend and all he has is that stupid band. I'm just saying.

Anyway. Where do I wanna go next? I was gonna stick to the old LA fallback but I also owe Roger Talley a visit now that he's in Vegas. I should just go to McRae and eat corn pudding with Pamma and Aunt Jean for a week.

*-I've been a blog neglectress. I apologize to the like 1 person who follows me. =D

It's been awhile

2009-09-30T22:11:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile but my ADD has been on a rampage lately and I've only been able to handle short Twitter bursts. LOL!

I didn't mean to neglect the (5) people who actually read my blog. =D =D

I'm not working tomorrow. Maybe I'll post a bunch of random pics or something.

I can't figure out if this is worse than another Tyler Perry movie....

2009-08-24T22:48:00.001-07:00

I was browsing here and saw this link and it lead me here.

Y'all...this is why we can't have nice things.

Why does that horrible book need to be made into a movie? And why can't I figure out if this is worse than a Tyler Perry movie? I mean, so few things in this universe are worse, in my opinion, than a Tyler Perry movie.

Let's compare them:

Steve Harvey's book - Regurgitated, plagiarized material, repackaged by a man in a pimp suit and cosigned by fucking Oprah, at whom I am still mad for fucking up Their Eyes Were Watching God, lol.

A Tyler Perry movie - Regurgitated, repackaged stereotypes and bullshit, presented by a crossdressing, chitlin circuit "screenwriter" and cosigned by fucking Oprah, at whom I am still mad for inspiring fucking Tyra Banks and making her think she should talk instead of sit there and look pretty.

It's a close one.

I mean, Oprah did get Obama elected, but I'm convinced that she funds a lot of this crap that contributes to the fucked up condition of the black community so..........yeah.

I might have to get back to you on this one. Either way, I'm upset. ;-)

20 Years Ago

2009-08-05T20:05:00.001-07:00

My uncle, Buddy, stage name, Vinx.

They say that the first man a girl ever loves is her daddy. Which is true, in my case. But, luckily, I was given 2 men, real men, to love before I could even walk (or talk or write or eat solid foods, etc. lol).

Almost 26 years ago, my beautiful. wonderful self was born into this world, welcomed by, among others, my grandfather. Poppy, as I called him (cuz just learning to talk Melissa couldn't pronounce things properly, remember? Lmao). He was, according to my mother, delighted to have his first grandchild. And, as I vaguely remember, he was even more delighted that I was.......a handful, because he liked to watch my mother try to manage me. Parents, it seems, sit in wait for the day when their children have to be parents, so they can laugh at them. Ha!

20 years ago, while stopping for a pack of cigarettes at a gas station, my Poppy, my mother's Daddy, an Air Force veteran, husband, brother, son, was killed. Stabbed to death by some carjacking career criminal the prison system decided they no longer had room to house. For the wallet he willingly gave up and the keys he hurriedly handed over.

20 years ago, some punk broke my grandmother's heart.

When my daddy passed away, one of the first things my mother said (in a laughably vain attempt) to comfort me was that I was lucky to have had a father, a real father, who loved me and raised me and disciplined me and took care of me. In her eulogy, she jokingly talked about how I had (in all seriousness) come home from my first year of college and hugged her, thanking her for staying married to my father, because I had seen what growing up without a man in the home could do to a young girl.

Well........today I read the tribute she gave at her own father's funeral and something else she said touched me (it turns out that my mother is actually as wise as she pretends to be):

Daddy was the first man I ever loved, and the first man to love me. So when I began to look for the man to spend the rest of my life with, I knew exactly what qualities were important. The attributes I found in my husband were the ones I observed in my daddy.

And she was right.

Happy August

2009-08-01T21:04:00.001-07:00

Once again, I am reminded of why I don't plan. It never works out that way anyway. It's simply easier to be prepared for things and let life happen however it fucking wants to, because that's what it's going to do, ya know?

My birthday is in 3 and a half weeks. I am wisely choosing to not expect to be doing anything of interest for it. Heh.

That is all.

Ahem! In case it had slipped your mind......

2009-07-21T21:05:00.000-07:00

Our First Couple is bad as hell!

=D

Am I the only one who has a problem with this?

2009-07-04T13:54:00.000-07:00

I follow CNN on Twitter. They post good shit and I trust them to be a credible news resource. But...what the fuck is this? (Not that I'm blaming CNN for it, just...smdh)

I came across this link: Single black women choosing to adopt - It is apparently a part of their Black in America series. Whatever. Still disturbing.

Since when...since when is having a baby something that you can rush because you feel like you're running out of time, but you're still waiting for God to "guide you to the right man"? And then, to top it off, the woman responsible for that nonsense has 3 adopted children. Yeah. Okay, "sister". You keep waiting for God to guide a man your way who feels like dealing with your baggage. *snort* She is also quoted as saying "I am not going to settle and get married just for the sake of being married". Ummm......let's rework that sentence: "I am not going to settle and have children just for the sake of having children." See how both sound like reasonable, mature things to say as a single woman? Sheesh!

Now please, don't get me wrong. Adoption is a beautiful and selfless thing that renews my faith in the spirit of human kindness and whatnot, but seriously. Adopting a child because you claim you can't find a good man and you're sick of waiting for one is ludicrous. Not to mention incredibly selfish. This isn't an unplanned pregnancy, where a woman might decide to have the baby for various reasons, nor is it adoption because a couple has fertility issues. Children aren't accessories nor are they salves to make you feel better about being lonely. Get a puppy. lol

And of course, the article focusing on the fact that it's black women apparently leading this "trend" did not escape me. Major WTF?! How far is this whole "independent woman" "there aren't any good black men" thing really gonna go? I mean, yeah. Buy Louboutins. Push a Lexus. Fly off with your girls to Jamaica or Aruba. Figure out your own 401k thingy. (something I still need to do, btw) But can we stop pretending that the rapid disappearance of black families isn't a tragedy and/or acting like it is truly possible to make a "family" out of any old combination of people living in the same house? Grrr!

And I refuse to comment on the section of the article where they talked about how adoptive parents are rejecting the dark skinned children.

*sigh*

FYI

2009-06-30T19:43:00.000-07:00

This is to all the black men with non black girlfriends who start acting guilty and special when I walk past:

I don't give a fuck. Stop it! LOL.

Now, no matter how I feel about some of the reasons why black men have decided to stop dating black women, I promise, in fact, I solemnly swear, that I won't bite you if I see y'all out with your girl. Stop calling attention to the fact that you're uncomfortable with your relationship. It's dumb, but it does make me giggle, so thanks for that.

I'm sorry that you feel like every single solitary black woman in this country is mad at you and your girl. But shit. It's not that deep. Stop ducking your heads, shuffling your feet, pulling her close to you, looking at the ceiling, pulling your phone out real quick, etc. when you see me. Please!

Thank you. =D

I came across 2 hilarious links last night.

The first was a list on Model Mayhem. Shameful. Why is there a list dedicated to pictures of men pretending to be "thugs and G's"? Modeling is pretending, list maker. You should know that. LOL

Then......hilarity.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (King James Version)

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

What's this? Melissa posting Bible verses?! Is this a sign of the Apocalypse or something?

Yes. Yes it is. Go buy a lot of batteries and bottled water.

=D =D

I hope they went home after this.......

2009-05-05T21:23:00.001-07:00

and had hot monkey sex.
Because Reggie, that's what I would do.
Kim, same thing.
LOL
Hot ass fucking couple. Damn!

More Happy!

2009-05-05T21:21:00.000-07:00

It's May!!

2009-05-03T12:42:00.001-07:00

It's May and Mother's Day is coming up. Which means............Pamma and Aunt Jean are coming! =D

I'm a dork. I call my grandmother Pamma. Leave me alone, just learning to talk Melissa couldn't pronounce Grandma. So what? lol.

Anyway, she has a twin sister and they are super cute and they live together in a tiny little town in Georgia and because they are like 77 and have nothing else to do (how fabulous), they drive up to see us in my grandmother's old lady car and stay around for a month or so. And they cook. Which makes me extra excited. Because my mother does not cook. It's a tragedy. She buys a ton of Lean Cuisines and then looks at me crazy when I say I'm hungry. *headdesk*

So. They'll be here soon.

Happy!

I was pleased...

2009-04-20T13:38:00.003-07:00

I was pleased that my hair didn't fall out and then I hit up Facebook and saw this nonsense:

I first saw this ad when I was watching an episode of Buffy on Hulu and meant to go to it when I got some extra cash, but then I forgot. But.........I just saw it posted on facebook and now I'm spreading the word a bit more.

Kiva

I went to the club last night....

2009-04-05T10:41:00.000-07:00

I went to the club last night and realized something: Debutantes don't belong in places where the dj shouts out things like "All the baby mamas make some noise!!". Even if that is the place where I finally found a girl bartender who doesn't make a weak ass Jack and Coke. Because.....what's up with girl bartenders making weak drinks? Do I look like I want a weak drink? I just ordered Jack Daniel's. People who do that aren't lightweights. And if they are, that's their fault for not ordering a damn Sex on the Beach or whatever.

But I digress. Who came up with the Stanky Leg? And why is it just a hootchied up version of the Tootsie Roll?

I think I'm too old for clubs. Point me in the direction of a lounge or something. A place with candles. Candle places usually have pot stickers on platters and Gentleman Jack and champagne that isn't some obscure house label. And women who look like they are named LaQuisha with 5 kids and a tacky dress from Gordman's that accentuates how much baby weight they have NOT lost aren't allowed in. Yes. Point me in the direction of that.

Good thing I found a good bartender last night. I bet she wondered why I tipped her so well. LOL

Time is moving quickly

2009-03-30T13:01:00.000-07:00

And I wish I could be in more than one place at once. But, alas alack, I cannot. Hee hee.

I avoid change. It throws me off center and I hate to stumble. That is not to say that I can't handle change, just that I'd prefer to keep it to a minimum. And these days.............bleh. Change is all around me. It's hovering, waiting to fuck with one of my lists.

My new job is pretty cool. Not having to be at a desk before the sun is even fully up is pretty sweet. And I have a new accessory obsession: scarves. It's spring time and they add color, so yay! Besides, what can go wrong when your reward for a good job is a BCBG wardrobe allowance every month? lol Sure beats an office pizza party, I'll tell you that!

The new Axe Hair products smell vile, just to let you know. Don't put that shit in your hair, buy the Gillette stuff instead. Hahahahahaha.

April starts on Wednesday. Isn't that nuts? I think it's nuts. Two seconds ago I was in Vegas, chillaxin. 10 seconds ago I was in New York, actin an ass with The Collective. How is it April? I still have too much to do this year. I need to make a trip to LA before I move. I need to hit up AZ and go see bt. And when in the hell am I going to drag my happy ass to Atlanta? I need more time! And another airline sale. Let's not even get into the fact that I have to go scout out my prospective new home. Bleh! I need a frequent flyer card. Why have I never signed up for one? What was I thinking?

I want some more cotton candy.

Fluffy puppy!!

Anyway..............I think I'm getting sick of "models". They look like they're being put together in a factory somewhere, composed of 5 different options for eyes, noses, lips, tits, waists, hips, legs. Ugh. Half of them aren't even beautiful, they're just...........pleasant enough to look at for a few seconds before you hit the Back button or change the channel. But at least King will never run out of Web Girls of the Week, right? LOL

So yeah......thus ends another random entry. Later, y'all.

Black Marriage Day

2009-03-20T09:14:00.000-07:00

I'm going to do something that may seem a bit out of character.
I'm going to put down the sparkles and frivolity for a second and touch on something "important".
But I can't guarantee that it won't still be a bit shiny; glitter is difficult to get rid of. ;-)

March 22 is Black Marriage Day. I didn't even know that that day existed, but I think it's pretty cool. Anyway, when I went to the website for the event, www.BlackMarriageDay.com, and looked around, I saw something I consider even more "important" - The National Fatherhood Initiative.

Now, obviously, I can never be a father (and thank God, mothers get better presents, lol) but as anyone close to me knows, I feel very strongly about how much of an impact my own father was in my life before he passed away. A child's father is their first example of manhood, for better or for worse, and to me that is something undeniable.

So anyway, this is what I found:
- An explanation of the Legacy Campaign
- The Legacy Wall, which features marriage stories
- A link to the African American Healthy Marriage Initiative (kinda hokey)

Okay. Enough of being "deep".

The.Greatest.Thing.EVER.

2009-03-14T22:28:00.000-07:00

So I was on this sorta lame photographer's page and I saw this book cover among his pics.
It looked hi-larious so I googled it to see what it was about.
This is what I found.

*dies laughing*

Seriously people, this is the greatest fucking thing ever EVER EVER in life!!
Finding this was a gift from the Lord God Himself.
Ransom and I laughed the entire time we were looking at the website.

*dies, DIES I tell you, laughing*

But hey. She's doing her thing, so I can't really hate on that. But.........I can still think it's the funniest thing ever.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help my boy Will out!!

2009-03-14T12:52:00.000-07:00

So yeah. Will Springfield needs people to go tell Bombin' Magazine how fucking AWESOME he is. Because he is super, uber awesome. Just check out all the fantastic examples of his work I snagged to put in this post

Anyway, be useful before you go update your Facebook status and click this - Show and Prove - and leave a comment about how worthy Will is.

Why didn't I watch this show??!!

2009-03-14T03:32:00.001-07:00

So I'm on Television Without Pity just now and this link caught my eye.

Oh.My.God. Why didn't I watch Rock of Love Bus? Why? I wasn't doing anything else. What is wrong with me?

Seriously, guys. Read that. I was cracking up just off the descriptions. Man! I'm gonna go see if I can find a marathon on Vh1.

So I was in Vegas at the end of last month and in between doing absolutely nothing, that man dragged his camera out and Sienna came over and made me pretty. Yay!!

Leos look good in gold.

And Divas look fab in dramatic make up and purple.

*bewb smiley*

See. I told you they got bigger. Haha!

Props to Sienna from FAB Artistry and Mr. Rockwood.

2009-03-10T15:58:00.000-07:00

No really.
I downloaded it to my BlackBerry and since then I have pretty much been unable to resist the urge to check it anytime I have a free second. It's scary. I think I might need some help.

I'm not in Vegas anymore......

2009-03-01T14:29:00.000-08:00

*sad face*

And it fucking snowed the day I came home.
And I left my Pomegranate Rock Star in my baby's fridge.
And my mother fiddled with my DVR and now it's acting funny.

LOL!

Life is fabulous when you're not on vacation, right?

Oh well. It's March. And I finished my taxes last night, so hopefully my refund won't take a million years to get deposited. Then, when I go to my girl Tiffany's pre-bachelorette party in April, I can do some extra shopping. Yay.

I'm in Vegas....

2009-02-22T22:15:00.000-08:00

I'm in Vegas til Friday and the internet here is dodgy.

So instead of giving a shit about being online, I'm going to continue lounging about half naked, giving my baby foot rubs and enjoying not being at home.

2009-02-17T07:17:00.000-08:00

I went back on the Pill last month. It's almost been a year since my last prescription ran out and since I've been in a major, super drought, I didn't see the point in going to the doctor before my next scheduled exam. Aaaaaaanyway........I'm boobalicious right now. And yes, that is a problem. LOL. Most of my shirts are cleavage type shirts, but since I normally rely heavily on a Miracle Bra, it's something controllable. This? No. They're just doing what they feel like, the bitches.

So yeah. I've spent the past 3 weeks trying desperately to not be that chick in the office. You know which chick I mean. The one dressed like she's at a bar instead of at a stupid cubicle at a dumb temp job. Exactly.

I'm pre packing for Vegas, so I "discovered" a non VS bra hiding under a pile of gym clothes and was like "Yay!", thinking that a new bra might help to contain this shit. No luck. In fact, I think the shoddy construction of this random bra (which I am now convinced isn't even mine) is making things worse. Next attempt: my sports bra. *sigh* And no, if your suggestion would be to wear a, say, sweater, don't bother. I tried that. It was a very Pleasantville type experience. I'm also not buying new office clothes. I'm planning to move in a couple months. I need that money for other things. I think I just have to get a new bra. Yay for a trip to VS! Hee hee! I know, I make no sense whatsoever. But bras are more useful than boring office clothes. And they come with matching thongs and garters. I'm just saying.

I can't believe I didn't know about this.....

2009-02-13T12:09:00.000-08:00

Until Nicole told me last week.

Seriously? MAC and Hello Kitty? There is a god!

I got the following from Shopping Blog:

The rumored MAC Hello Kitty products have been confirmed. WWD reports that there will be two Mac Hello Kitty collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. Here's a sample of what you kind find in the Hello Kitty Colour Collection.

The bulk of the items are in the former category: six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin', each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units - one blue, one pink - are $17.50 each. Four Glitter Eye Liners, each $16.50, two shades of Beauty Powder, each $22; three shades of nail polish, each $11; a black mascara, $12, and false lashes, $12, round out the color offerings. Shades range from pinks and turquoises to lavenders and greens.

Hello Kitty Colour items will be sold Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macys, MAC stores and online at maccosmetics.com.

WWD says the Hello Kitty Kouture collection will only be available at MAC stores and maccosmetics.com and it will only be available for eight weeks.

Hello Kitty Kouture is intended to be the high end of the collection. Two shades of Dazzleglass, each $28, each feature a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals on black with a pink crystal bow. Sheer Mystery Powder, $90 and available in three shades, is packaged in a silver powder compact with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals with a pink crystal bow on a black background.

There are also a few other items such as a plush doll ($42) and purse mirror ($22) that will be sold at Nordstrom, MAC stores and maccosmetics.com. The products will arrive on maccosmetics.com on February 10th, 2009 and will be in North American stores on February 12th, 2009 and in overseas stores in March, 2009. However, a waiting list will go live on January 7th on maccosmetics.com.

Go the MAC website. Some of the items (like that adorable purse mirror) are already sold out.

Oh yeah. Don't forget. Dollhouse debuts tonight!!! Yay!!!

Excited doesn't come close...

2009-02-11T17:55:00.000-08:00

To say that I am excited about Dollhouse premiering on Friday would be a fucking understatement.

Joss Whedon, the nice man who is responsible for my like, 2nd favorite tv show ever, and Eliza Dushku, who is just fucking hot, got together (again) for this new series and it. starts. on. Friday!!!!! Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

This link has the awesome preview, but embedding was disabled, so here's some not as awesome embeddable ones from Fox. =D =D

PS to Joss Whedon (not that he's reading this):

LMAO @ the fact that the episode where Buffy loses her virginity and causes Angel to lose his soul is called "Surprise!" Surprise, bitch!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
I know. I'm a mega dork. Deal with it. lol

I have a new goal in life......

2009-02-06T13:43:00.001-08:00

My GOD those shoes are delicious. Nicole found them the other day and sent them to me. Unfortunately I couldn't find them on the designer's website, but I might not have been looking hard enough. The pics were found here or here.

Back to Vegas next Friday!! Woo and hoo!

Oh, and have you heard of Hulu? Because it has old episodes of Buffy for free and that makes it my internet friend, lol.

Nostalgia

2009-02-03T18:59:00.000-08:00

*sigh*

I used to be young. I used to be skinny. I used to dress like I was going to the club everywhere I went. lol

Somebody remind me that when I get some extra cash I need to take my happy ass back to New Orleans. Thanks somebody!

Some old pics I just found from my Xavier days. Jesus God but we were young!

Free Stuff FTW!!

2009-01-21T16:58:00.000-08:00

So somebody sued somebody and it means that the department stores have a bunch of free stuff from people like Clinique and Lancome and Chanel. I got a full size mascara and a little moisturizer pot. Don't miss out. First come, first serve and it started yesterday!

Click for the details, product listings, etc.

2009-01-20T05:28:00.001-08:00

Once again, with tears in my eyes, I witness history, wishing that my father had lived to see this day; this day when a man, so like my father, is sworn in as the President of the United States.

God Bless the Obamas, the Bidens and America. We have much work to do.

If I have my headphones in...

2009-01-19T07:40:00.000-08:00

If I have my headphones in and am reading a book while sipping some green tea, then hey. That's your cue not to try to make small talk with me. I mean, what the fuck?! Does that paint a welcoming "come ask me about the weather" picture to you? If so, go kill yourself, you moron. kthnx

I shouldn't have been so hard on Daddy Yankee and Pitbull when they came out. Because now we have T Pain and Flo Rida. :-( That'll teach me. At least Pitbull is kinda nice to look at.

I think I have tarsal tunnel syndrome. Seriously. And yes, that exists. Look it up. lol This is what "working" does to my delicate constitution. Bastards.

So we can send monkeys to Mars, we can perform brain surgery on people who are still awake and completely rewrite vampire lore (cough cough Twilight cough cough), but there still isn't an FDA approved way to get the body I want without surgery in another country? I blame the hippies for this imbalance. Pills make a man's erection last 7,000 years but pills can't send fat to the right damn places? Well. God bless Mexico. I'm so fucking cereal.

I hate coffee. I hate bad coffee. I hate coffee tasting coffee (shout out to 90210). I hate bad coffee tasting coffee. So why did I just get my second cup? Oh yeah. I didn't have any speed. lmao......j/k......sorta.

I want to go to All Star again this year. Who's buying my plane ticket? And my champagne.

I feel like I've lost some of my ability to procrastinate. This makes me sad. I might have to come up with a real hobby. One that doesn't include coffee. Fuck! This shit is trying to kill me.

TTFN

Obama!!

2009-01-12T16:34:00.000-08:00

I love Obama!

He looks so damn good......

Doesn't Obama look fab next to the POTUS seal? Yes, yes he does.
Mmmmmmmmmmm..............................lol

I guess it's a good thing my CAM asking when my suspension (since Tyler claimed that it was merely a suspension and not a banning) is over has been ignored (and was closed) since I wrote it December 16, 2008.

Things are still run on bullshit and douchery. =D =D

2008-12-30T12:46:00.000-08:00

This will be my 100th blog. I'm totally having a cookie for this. lol

I want to scream. I want to strangle someone right now. I need a drink, a cigarette and a nap.
Why is the most frustrating person in my life the same person for whom I feel the strongest? My brain is so fucking insane. Argh!!

Where is that damn cookie?

Completely out of the blue, some guy emailed me today, talking all this blah blah blah about how much money he has, yadda yadda yadda.

But the best part was this:

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he felt his point would best be made by including pictures of his dick. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks, "Mark"! You made my boring day, less so. =D

The email:

I have a house of my own in manhattan on 5th avenue and well I like to have fun. If your interested in what you see so far then write back. If your offended then sorry..sometimes my humor may not work so good on everyone. I am just looking to hang out and have fun. I love spending money, at the same time I am not looking for a gold digger but when you hang out with me, I like buying things..I work hard and I love to play hard. I got a few cars and bikes and well I wanna have some fun.. all I do is work and have no social life but that must change. I make over 90k a year and all I do is bank it..time to spend it on something and well it mind as well be fun..let me know if you like what you see.

This is why I love YouTube

2008-11-16T13:47:00.001-08:00

If YouTube didn't exist, then how on earth would I have ever seen this?

OMG, I love it! LMBAO!!!!!!!

Lord, this is my fervent prayer:

2008-11-10T14:06:00.000-08:00

Just to clear that up for those who are obviously confused about why I'm such an arrogant bitch.

That is all. ;-)

With tears in my eyes....

2008-11-04T20:31:00.000-08:00

2008-10-29T20:03:00.000-07:00

So Tyler is trying to say that something Ransom said is what caused him to be kicked off?

Tyler is a liar.

If that were true, then he would have given him an explanation, instead of kicking him off with no warning.

The last communication the two of them had is below.

Tyler is really just ass hurt because Ransom wouldn't tell him who the leaks in the mod room were.

Oh, but I will. lol

Tyler, Brian and M.Hana act too damn ass hurt. Frog is a douche. Alex/Alexander acts like a spurned lover, and he is the one who PM'd Ransom out of turn to threaten him when you kept flagging his avatar as being 18+. Caged Gypsy is a mentally unstable cunt. Dean Johnson would be cool, but he continues to bow under the pressure of the rest of you bitches. I know Ginger is the one who was pushing for Ransom to get banned back in July when the rest of you wanted to get rid of Star for that racial insults thread she started. How do I know? Because I get anonymous emails sent through my website from one of you (probably Brian), letting me know what's going on.

Morons. In addition to Stephen Eastwood, Isis, Iona and TH Taylor, there is also an anonymous leak back there. Hope you catch him or her. =D lmao

And then you lock Star's thread and the BBI thread?
What in the FUCK are y'all scared of? Huh, Tyler? What is it, Brian?
Y'all mother fuckers have all the power, remember?
It's YOUR site. It's YOUR rules. But you're running around, throwing people off and locking shit like you're terrified that something scandalous is gonna get revealed.

Hmmmmmmmmm................................

Anyway. Do you. =D

---Had to edit cuz Mister Grumpy Puss wanted me to be more level headed. lol. Ain't that some shit.

If you want to email me, my address is melissalynnette@gmail.com

I know you were waiting for it

2008-10-29T19:46:00.000-07:00

For now, just let me say, that Tyler is lying, but it's his site. He's free to kick out whomever he pleases.

But could somebody please remind him that screen caps don't lie. Thanks. :D

Full story later.

PS - I know why I was kicked off. I'm NOT mad about that. I don't want to be on a site that is gonna power trip like that with one of its most valuable members.

I'm a bit confused....bear with me....

2008-10-23T08:40:00.000-07:00

What's up with all the Captain Save a Ho songs lately? TI, T Pain, Wayne, etc. Can't these men find a better caliber of woman?
Why isn't it trickin' if you got it? Is it because at least you still have some cash left when she moves on?
Why do some people not understand that everything they say to or do is not confidential? You are not invisible.
How did Beyonce manage to convince me to like that "If I Were A Boy" song? Does she have magical powers?
Will the Pussycat Dolls release any of the songs where Nicole isn't singing lead?
Why are women still having illegitimate children? Did they raise the price on condoms and the Pill when I wasn't looking?
Why do people who only comment on my nude pictures think they're slick? I'm not dumb. You weren't drawn to my eyes. You wanted to look at my tits. Stop lying.
Why is it that every time I have a temp assignment in an office, the middle aged middle manager ladies to fatten me up? Look, I brought my lunch. I don't want your cake, I don't want your cookies, I don't want your snacks, I don't want to go to lunch with you. Are you gonna explain to my trainer why I'm sluggish? No? Then stop offering me carbs. lol
Why is Jermaine Dupri's business so nigga rigged? My girl just hit me up, talking about how they haven' t been paying people's salaries. Fail, JD. Fail.
No really. Where is my government bail out?
Why didn't I know about Absolut Los Angeles until last night?
Why do so many men front about how they wouldn't fuck a chick with implants (breast or ass)? Nigga. Yes. You would.
When are people gonna stop asking me to "Go Green"? See, this is why I don't like hippies. Shoo.
How much money, exactly, do you have to have in order to get a black card with diamonds on it? Or...........have we taken bling so far that motherfuckers are decorating their credit cards? Ha.
Sooooo........Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still married? Wow.
What's up with the CW showing reruns of 90210 already? There are only, like, 5 episodes. What happened? If that piece of shit show, One Tree Hill, can limp along for like, a decade, why can't the cheesy awesome sauce that is 90210 get a chance?
Why did it take me this long to get a Blackberry?
Shouldn't Hancock be out on DVD by now? Did I miss something?
How long ago do you think Diddy decided that he was gonna kick Aubrey out of Danity Kane?

Let me know.

People Who Support McCain

2008-10-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

I don't understand people who are planning to vote for McCain.
I also don't understand people who are still undecided. What the fuck do you still need to know in order to decide? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Anyway, back to the McCain supporters. Even if you agree with his stance on issues you find important, Palin is his VP choice. Palin. Palin!! Caribou fucking Barbie. Major fucking fail. What happens when McCain dies and she's put in charge? No really. What? Scary thought? Yeah, it really is.

I mean, Colin Powell is even backing Obama, and he knows way more about this political stuff than silly old me. =D

Besides, Obama is so darned cute! lol

Oh thank you, Jesus!

2008-10-18T22:45:00.000-07:00

The term "Independent Woman" bothers me.
Especially since Beyonce herself has moved past that bullshit. Put a Ring on it. lol
The declaration that "I don't need a man" bothers me too.
Ladies, unless you have Nicole's money, stop singing her song. Besides, she has a man too.

Stop believing the hype. Some songstress' hit single should not be your life's mantra. Shit, it's not even hers. The heffa probably didn't even write the damn song. Ha!

Anyway, I just came across this column and, well, AMEN!!!!

The Bridge: Independent Women
« Thread Started on Jun 11, 2005, 5:19pm »
By Darryl James

“Only call your celly when I’m feeling lonely/when it’s all over please get up and leave.”
--from Independent Woman by Destiny’s Child

I was already confused over the phrase “Black Woman of The ‘90’s,” when the new century opened with the label “Independent Woman.”

There are many problems with women referring to themselves as “Independent women,” but the most glaring difficulty is that out of any ten women asked to define the phrase, as many answers will emerge.

Perhaps it once had meaning, or could potentially have meaning for strong women who are truly independent, but the fact that there is no singular meaning or movement, makes it an empty label.

Any conversation containing the phrase “Independent woman” fails at the onset, particularly because there are no men defining themselves as independent men.

Women who talk about being “independent” need to also talk about how the label has gone way too far, to the point where it is now inconsistent and in many ways cartoonish, mannish and just plain unattractive. In fact, I often cringe when I hear women talk about being "independent" because it usually means that they are not.

In the quest for so-called “independence,” some women have given up substantial portions of their womanhood—the very things that many men look for in a woman. Most of what remains in “ women” is aggressiveness and negativity.

It is not a problem for a woman to be assertive and ambitious, but it is not very attractive when a woman is aggressive.

Women can say what they want about their liberation, but we have not evolved to the point where an aggressive woman is desirable and we never will.

The overwhelming response by some women to men’s repulsion to aggressiveness and negativity is that a “strong woman” is hard to handle. It may make you feel good to declare that men can’t handle a strong woman, but you have to ask yourself what it is that is really repelling them.

My mother was a strong woman, but she never spoke in a derisive manner to my father or to her children and men were never repelled or repulsed by her. When a woman speaks to me in an overly critical and negative manner, I am neither impressed nor repulsed by her strength, I am repulsed by her poor communication skills and distasteful attitude.

The “Independent Woman” phenomenon appears to be rooted in a groupthink program, as opposed to each individual woman defining herself. As a groupthink pursuit, so-called “ women” are more worried about looking weak to other so-called “ women.” Many of them have completely abandoned the concept of building a team, because they already have their relationship defined before the man shows up, relegating his task to “rising to her level.”

One of the most repulsive aspects of the groupthink program is the frequent advice to quickly exit relationships that appear to be problematic. A man can exhibit signs of negative behavior, but without taking a closer look, “ women” are advising each other to abandon everything without trying to work it out—“You don’t need a man,” and now, “it’s just me, myself and I. I’m my own best friend”

Ladies, other so-called “ women” may respect you and support you for your ability to give up and run away quickly, however, at the end of the day, you may find yourself childless, without any prospects of marriage and thirties with nothing but unresolved issues and loneliness. After all, relationships with spouses and children are based on dependence.

Many women who refer to themselves as “independent,” also label themselves as feminists, but those politics are polluted, because many of the things they say have little to do with feminism or an intrinsic movement towards our true purposes together.

When you already have a plan together that has nothing to do with the person you meet, it will more than likely fail.

What we create has to be based on a merger of what we both need and what we both have dreamed of. On both sides, we have to begin to focus on what will bring us together, and what will keep us together. Those things have to be based on what we need in order to survive into the future.

There is too much confusion between the sexes for anyone to make assumptions or hold expectations. What has to happen is two people coming together, communicating wants and needs. When both parties are communicating, intrinsic movement can be made towards building something solid.

I believe it starts with a real conversation.

We need to talk to each other.

Just as it makes no sense for women to sit around in all female groups defining men, it also makes no sense for them to sit around and talk about what we want.

If Black women want to know what Black men want, questions should be directed to Black men.

It’s really not that complicated. For the decent, grounded Black men, raised by and around strong Black women, we want someone who will support our daily struggle. We need most of what you need, which is to have someone help to make us feel good by partnering with us while we go through our daily stress.

That’s dependence.

Being our equal is not the same as being like us. God made us differently, which means that you can be a strong woman without being a man. If you never speak softly and never interact with us in a soft manner, you are less valuable. Our male friends offer us manly interaction. We want feminine interaction from you. Your “sister/girl/friends” may give you accolades for being strong, but we will give you space for being too much like us. Just think about the men who are too much like you.

In closing, there is nothing wrong with being independent. There is something very wrong with declaring independence without the responsibilities that come along with it.

Be strong, be assertive ambitious and focused.

But if you want to be in a relationship, just don’t claim to be independent.

What can I say? I'm bored.

Why won't my laptop charge? =( Not cool man. I'm on the desktop and it's cold in here and I'd rather be under my big ole blanket, watching shit I have on my DVR. But no. I'm addicted to stupid messenger and I kinda haven't gotten used to my new phone's keyboard yet. Sue me.

This song on the Pussycat Dolls CD speaks to me. I have no idea why. lol It's not like Nicole is singing what my heart is saying right now, or anything. hahahahahahahaha (shut up Ebby. I don't mean all of it. =P)

Naw. I'm good. I'm done. I'm calm. Shit. I was calm to begin with, I just let my emotional ass let panic and confusion invade my spirit. That's my damn bad. Whatever. I'm a rider. I will have what I want. I don't doubt it. It's too......proper for it not to happen. And if you know me (and why the fuck are you reading this if you don't, lol), then you know that I am not a decisive person. I waffle. I waver. I can be persuaded (sometimes).
So when I know something, when I feel it, that's...it. Don't believe me? I refer you to my damn tattoo deliberations. Ha!

I want to make some apologies. I thought about it, and I lied earlier today. I have been naughty. *coy devil eyes* So here goes (you'll know who I'm talking to if you're supposed to):

-I'm sorry that I let myself be so swayed by panic that you got dragged into this mess. It's not your fault that you are who and what you are. I wasn't surprised by your actions and as such, I shouldn't have let things escalate to the point to where you were confronted and abused. While I will never like you or your actions, it is not my place to judge you for them nor to allow my anger to cause you harm or discomfort.

-I'm sorry that we are not who we should be. I love you and I never should have let my self centered nature make you feel like you were not important to me or that I did not wish you all the happiness in the world. Over the past two years I have learned who my real friends are and you deserve a place on that list, though you may no longer wish to be there.

-I'm sorry that you are a stupid, bitch made ass pussy. ( LOL Change of pace, people) Don't worry. I'll be there to remind you in case these next 7 days cause some memory loss.

-I'm sorry that you drive me crazy. I'm sorry that I can't think straight when it comes to you. I'm sorry that I frustrate you. I'm sorry that I drive you, lol. *insert the hair pulling smiley* Know this: I adore you. You deserve a medal for dealing with my emotional, irrational, loud, crazy, selfish, spoiled, high maintenance little self. Ass. =D "You're not the boss of me!"

Okay. I can't take it anymore. I need my tv. Peace.

Life is so fucking unfair.

2008-10-17T06:58:00.001-07:00

I hate the world right now. I really, really do.

I feel like I'm being punished for something, I just don't know what the fuck that is. It's the most frustrating feeling in the world. I've been being a good girl lately. lol I swear.

And I still want to know where MY fucking government bail out is. lmao

You mean I get PAID to do this?? Fabulous!!

I just can't do it. Thank God for my good twin and her ability to do my hair for me. Yay for Ebby! Boo for my nappy head!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway....................

Los.Angeles.in.2.weeks.

I'm excited, can you tell?

I finally found that damn orange swimsuit and am just waiting for the ebay listing to close, with me as its highest bidder. Go me...and my last ditch, desperation search. Who knew finding the perfect, orange, one piece/monokini, sexy, cut out swim suit would be so hard? Nooooooooooooooooot me. And as LA gets closer, so does the "end of this year".
I don't think I'm going to have enough for my Christmas present and I'm super hesitant to finance that much. Argh! This is why I don't plan. My plans crap out like 85% of the time anyway. *sigh*

Gustave? No. Shoo. Who ordered another fucking hurricane? Somebody smack that person. Hard. I bet it was the same person who told McCain that it was a good idea to name that woman whose name I keep messing up as his running mate. Major fail.

Oh! I finally started catching up with Rome.
On Demand is one of the greatest cable tv innovations, ever. Atia of the Julii was a a bad bitch. Too bad she probably never existed. According to what I could dig up, she seems to be the combination of a few women of the time and most likely wasn't so awesome. lol

I went to church on Friday. Or, I guess I should say, "church". The 1st Annual Midwest Conference something or other. Except, for some reason, they didn't hold it in a church. They held it in a convention center. Why? I have no idea. When I was active in the church, they fucking held events.........in a church. What a novel concept, huh?
So I went to church on Friday. One of the consequences of being the dutiful, cooperative, enthusiastic daughter that I was as a pre-teen and teenager is that when the Lay Organization wants to enlist long time participants to present things to life time members, I'm the person they call. Meh. So I put on one of my respectable lady dresses and went to (ugh) Kansas City, Kansas and wouldn't you know it. I was the only one who showed up. So I went outside and talked to Ebby and Nicci for like an hour til the shit was over.
But..............when did they stop holding church functions in a fucking church?
How did I miss this? Did someone take a vote on it? I just don't get it. I blame Rev. C, the heffa. Glad she...and her husband...are gone. Back to their million dollar mansion in Beverly Hills or wherever it is they live. This is me praying the YPD can recover from their..."treatment". Hmph!

August 29th

2008-08-29T14:06:00.000-07:00

Today is my daddy's birthday. He would have been 53.

I bought a plane ticket to LA this morning. I laughed to myself because the last time I saw my father, I was leaving for LA. Moving, in fact, to California. Days after my little sister's high school graduation. I was so happy to be going. And my dad left work, drove all the way to the airport so he could say good bye. And as soon as I got on that plane, I missed him. I missed my whole family. Moving away was the biggest thing I'd done in my whole life. Going to college didn't count.
And just 5 short months later, he was gone....................

But today is his birthday. He and Mom would have gone to dinner, seen a movie. Allyson and I would have sent cards and made phone calls. He would have said something goofy and I would have been irritated.

I don't know.......I don't know what my life would have been like without my daddy. My tall, goofy, nerdy, overprotective daddy. My daddy who lived his whole life for his family, whether or not we even deserved it half the time (my sister and I could be terrors when we wanted. Remind me to tell you about the time I chased her ass around with a knife or the time she thought almost wrecking the car was a good idea). My loving, slightly impatient, exasperated with the women who outnumbered him 3 to 1 in his own damn house daddy.

I miss you.

Why Nice Guys Suck

2008-08-10T17:10:00.000-07:00

Original Link

Preach!! lol

Edit: For the special people: I didn't write this. My baby puts it down, thank you very much.
I would never be with a guy like this. Click the Original Link for the original post. :D

So I'm dating a nice guy now and it SUCKS. No other way to explain it, it just SUCKS. He's no challenge. He agrees with everything I say. He's got it all though - a decent job, a nice house, no kids, no psycho ex-wives, and he's tall and cute. Anyone ever seen that Friends episode when Alec Baldwin played Phoebe's boyfriend?? YEAH, my boyfriend is THAT nice. He's just too fucking nice. Nice is boring. I've never heard him raise his voice. He's never aggressive. He has no edge. He won't even drive over the speed limit and that fucking annoys the shit out of me, yet I sit in the passenger seat and keep my mouth shut... watching everyone whiz by us.

And don't get me started on the sex. Oh, excuse me... making love. After he cums (note I didn't mention anything about ME cumming), he rolls over and says "Oh, that was nice" with a little sigh. I KID YOU NOT, he says it EVERY TIME and then he sighs like he has just woken from a refreshing nap. I finally got so tired of missionary and him looking lovingly into my eyes and smiling as he came, that I threw him down on the couch one night and mounted him. At first he was terrified - yes, TERRIFIED. He thought something had possessed me. And it HAD -- it was sheer MADNESS. I fucked the shit out of him that night. And then he sighed and said "Oh, that was nice".

Now that we had the cowgirl position conquered (always with that sigh afterwards), it was time to move on to doggie. His ex-girlfriend never did doggie (hmmm... maybe there's a "nice" ex-girlfriend to blame for his timid niceness?? That bitch...). Anyway, I digress. I tell him I want him to fuck me from behind. Yes, I used the word "fuck" and I didn't care what he thought about it. He gets behind me and enters me, and damned if he didn't say "OH, THIS IS NICE" !!! Are there any 35 y/o men out there that haven't smacked a woman's ass when doing her doggie?? YES, and he's my boyfriend!

Tonight during sex, I think I'm gonna tell him to stick his finger in my ass when I'm riding him. THAT should be interesting.

So for the nice guys out there, my advice is this: It's great that you're nice (to an extent), but have some backbone. Don't be a spine donor all your life. When your girl is out of line, say something. Don't let her walk all over you. Occasionally, be a "bad" boy (being bad doesn't translate to abusive or criminal). Say "No" to her sometimes. Raise your voice and be heard. Say something dirty/sexy to her occasionally. Drink a few too many beers and piss out in public. Smack her ass. Don't ever use the word NICE to describe things, especially sex (okay, that may be a personal pet peeve). Have an interest in at LEAST one sport (or pretend to). Drive 5-10 miles over the speed limit once in awhile. Run an old lady off the road just for kicks (yeah, I'm kidding about this one... just ride her bumper for a few miles). Be aggressive during sex. Take off those damn white socks and Jesus sandals. Grow a goatee for a few weeks. Shave your balls. Stray from your routine and shake things up.

BE A MAN FOR GOD'S SAKE... and the women will fall at your feet.

Whew... THAT FELT NICE.

Don't try to have sex with a metal bench.

Kelli: You're damn sexy, but I still think you are a disgustingly bigoted moron. :D

Tony: I see you're getting it all in while Ransom and I can't say shit to you, huh? Cute, old man.

You know what I find interesting? I'll tell you. I find it interesting that this person only received 2 days probation for what is, in my opinion, an absolutely appalling attack on Dave and pretty much anyone else who didn't agree with her. 2 days! Hmmmm............

-Tony: Fuck you. :D
-Ricardo Sevilla: You are bitch made. You are a coward. You are an ignorant bigot. Fuck you as well.

-Jay: Yes, I've heard of The Crisis. In fact I get it every month. I've been a member of the NAACP since I was 13.
-Tony: Fuck you. I just like saying that. :D
Tony wrote: "You know things are funky when White members email me and ask me what's up."
Bragging about white people coming to you, Tony? I know what to get you for Christmas. Tap shoes.

-Inferi: Hippies shouldn't talk.
-Ricardo: There you are again. Being a bitch. Nice to see your true colors. :)
-Shon: I love you for this post. Hee hee.
-Monad Studios: :D

-MsB: Thank you.

-Womack: Damn! Took you long enough to show up. lol

Last night, in Garry K's silly little thread, Nostalogica Ent, made some excellent points here and here. It's nice to see that someone else "gets it" amidst all of these fucking clowns.

ixxxix (aka Jay Bowman) worded this much better than I ever could have (except I'd like to add that I think Lela is also a hot mama).

Tyler sold the site. I'm reserving comment until I see what really happens instead of simply falling for what they say will happen. I don't have much faith in the ability of the mods to be.......forthcoming at the moment. ;)

I haven't relaxed my hair since the summer of 2005 when I cut it all off and said "fuck it". It's grown back since then, but I'm sick to fucking death of pressing it.

But............I'm a bit scared to put more chemicals in it. Awhile back I dyed it and probably need to dye it again (anyday now), and nothing happened, so maybe it's all healthy again and can handle it. Blargh!

Beautiful is not the same as sexy

2008-07-30T22:30:00.000-07:00

And sometimes, dammit, a girl wants to be thought of as sexy.

I get told that I'm pretty a lot. And beautiful. And gorgeous. In fact, some random lady today told me that I was pretty as we passed each other in the hall. And I appreciate this opinion. I really do.

But beautiful doesn't set anyone's blood on fire. Pretty isn't eye catching. Or maybe it does. Maybe it is. I just can't make the best argument for it right now. Blame it on the hormones. I dunno.

Anyway, my point, the reason I'm being "weird" is hey. Who doesn't want to feel sexy? Who doesn't want others to co sign that feeling? Other than nuns, I mean. Heh.

It pricks at me that I can't just pull of sexy effortlessly. That there's some sort of involved process that has to happen before I can even come close. Ugh.

lol

I probably shouldn't blog when I'm clearly PMSing and feeling like shit, huh? ;-)
