The Money Wallet

This is so kool, kinda wanna get me one. I just hope it doesn't cost a hundred dollars to get one of this...I always found it quite ironic that you have to spend money in order to get something that you put money in. Shouldn't wallet be free? Makes sense to me...

Glee's Busting Your Windows

Mercedes (actress Amber Riley) from Glee, sings the Jazmine Sullivan's car-bashing hit "Bust Your Windows"
ahhh, makes me excited about this show...There's so much buzz around, this'll defintely be a hit show....
check out the video.


=================================================================

BB Updation

Pretty good episode...okay I wanted to do a thing about how I feel about each person & thier stance in the competition, but that's too long...so here's a shortened version of that:

• Ronnie: Officially do not like him. Please send him home next week, he's just so happy he's still here, like he did it....please.....I don't like his attitude, plus he like backstabbed everyone in the house...so he should go...
• Lydia: This (I want to say the b-word) girl is WEIRD. She watches Jessie's while he's sleep. Then she wore this like mustache thingy, I didn't get it. I think the BB house is making her crazy, like coo coo(idk).
• Casey: Had to wear a banana suit this week cuz of the POV competition, pretty funny. He also went home today. Do NOT like that! But he cracked me up at the live eviction. He called out Ronnie & Jessie, too funny! He said Jessie has the IQ of "ironically, a banana". Just shows you teacher get no respect!
  
• Jeff: I'm now putting my money on him to win. He's a person I would like to see win, he would be like the underdog, come back and beat Jessie, Natalie and Ronnie.
  

Also in the episode, the cliques were dissolved, which is going to be really interesting, people really have no ties together, you know they can't really depend on other people. But they also brought in another thing of power: Coup D'etat (think I spelled that right), anywayz in the next 2 week on the day of eviction, they can change the nominees (1 or both), but they have to like keep it a secret till they use it. Also America gets to vote for who gets it. I'm voting for Jeff.

Don't know who won HOH cuz it one of those long endurance ones, but I'm gonna cheat and look it up now. And the winner is: No ONE! Russell & Jeff are battling it out (GO JEFF!)
I'll update about who wins later....

*Update: Russell won! Jeff & him came on an agreement for Jeff & Jordan to be safe. I don't know if Russell will keep it, but he might since, the cliques are finished. This is even a better time to vote for Jeff for the Coup d'etat....*


=============================================================

Housewives of Atlanta = DRAMA!

I am officially a fan of this show now. It's so crazy! NeNe is a mess, Sheree is a mess. They all a mess! It's such hilarious-ness. Today, the new season premiered. And thanks to Comcast Digital Cable, we have Bravo so I can watch it!....ha...

(a pic of them last season)

Okay at end of today's episode Sheree totally got into it with the party planner, like crazy, like they was about to fight, ya'll. I must say that it's like alot of uncessary drama, it seems. It's alot of he say, she say, which is stupid to base "friendships" on....
but of course I'm going to tune in every Thursday, cuz I have nothing else betta to do with my summer, and it's drama filled & quite hilarious....hahaha

==========================================================

other than that I'm chillin,

Youtube Mania! 56th edition

yeha......

Youtube videos...watch 'em cuz I already have...

1.New Boyz "You're A Jerk" OFFICIAL (SPOOF)

another by alphacat, really funny. "You're Cute!" hahahahaha

2. Rant on Music (Remade)

okay this dude is hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud. too funny. But you know what he says is true, you know music, or mainstream music is not as "deep" as it usta be. That's why I enjoy soulful music, it more so has a message, and of course soul.

3.Mariah Carey - Obsessed

okay speaking of popular music. I love this song, even though it not really about anything, and is quite repetitive. weird...the video is actually pretty funny. Mariah making fun of Eminem, apparently they've been having this beef ( i prefer chicken), kool song though....

click here (or above), embednesss disabled...why?

4.Stephon Marbury Crying (Official)

okay, you know gospel songs make me cry to unexpectedly so I feel him on that. It's a little weird to do that on a live vlog thingy. And I just wish he would've said something cuz it's really awkward to watch someone cry for 5 mins. People's comments are also hilarious...

Note: Dude singing in the video, doesn't seem to be making things betta. probably cuz of that off-key singing.

5.New Boyz "You're A Jerk" OFFICIAL Music Video HD Extend

this is a kool dance. if I learn it I will post a video of it (w/o the skinny jeans). I will first have to make an effort to learn the dance...yeha... I like how the song says "You're A Jerk....I kno" ( in my white girl voice "That's totally what a jerk would say! " ).



that's it!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Things I Don't Like...

This is going to be a new "segment" on my blog. Probably won't be that often, but
it'll be my chance to rant about stuff.
So this is stuff I don't like.


1. Virus, the Computer Kind.

They suck. So my house computer was running all slow. Then come to find out my mom clicked on something, that downloaded this program called Personal AntiVirus (Ironic), so I spent like Sunday trying to get it off the computer. Had to download this Macaffee (<---that's not how you spell it) that got rid of Virus and such. anyways it good, cuz it was free with Comcast internet.

I got all the stuff off there now, but it still runs slow, especially on my user profile, and my dad's apparently. But it runs faster on my mom's. it just sucks, so I'm totally abandoning that slow computer, and it's back to my laptop (now that I found a good, stable place where I get internet, ironically on the computer desk, hahahaha).

2. Mosquito Bites.

They suck, too. I have one on my left arm, and it sucks. I have no idea when I got it, I think it had to be Friday cuz that was the only time I was outside at night time, and when I got all itchy.
I just really don't like em. They itch, and even though you scratch it, it still itches. uhhhhhhhh. Could totally do without them right now.

3. Kids Shows

Suck big time! Doesn't help I have a 9-year old brother, who watches the most babiest stuff ever. The annoying thing about kids shows is there is always some type of stupid song, that talks about nothing helpful. And it's just really annoying to hear that, like Seriously, kids aren't that stupid! Like they're not (totally).

Don't get me wrong I love the classics, Barney, the Wiggles (okay maybe not a classic, but love them anywayz). but all this other stuff is just annoying and I don't like it.

Yes this are things I don't like. That doesn't mean they're the devil. It just means they annoy me at this present moment, and I wish they would go away (like the devil). yeha okay they are....

hahahaha
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Random Updations (whew)

So Monday, was Big Ten's Media Day, where each football coach talked and answer question. sounds pretty crazy. well not really. I never saw Fitz speak, but luckily LTP posted the video of Fitz. here it is (on LTP, = Lake the Posts btw). Couldn't get the vid to load (slow wireless connection). check it out though.
so here's a photo.

(ahhhhh)

Can I just say I love Coach Fitz (of course I can). And for the umptenth time I am so excited about football. It'll be nice to who's gonna be on offense. I think our defense should be solid. So hopefully we'll have some people who will score points. I'm sure we will.

so excite about football!.

=================================================================
Random Note:
speaking of NU, i'm on a NU calendar for the month of January (just call me Mr. January <---so lame!) for NCE at MLK day thing....still can't believe I'm in it. I mean like I do with any calendar I just flipping through it, looking at the pictures and I see myself, and I just like OMG!. For one, I didn't know people were taking pictures of me, but I knew they were taking pictures, of course. And that means that someone thought that photo was good enough to be on a calendar. Idk, just makes me even more happier to be at NU, even if I'm just on a calendar.

================================================================

BB Updation

so Jessie is HOH. um Michele won POV, took herself off, and now Jordan and Casey (offbeat clique, who's a 5th grade teacher). I don't like this, like Jessie had no real reason to put him up, like dude's not coming after him. I just think Jessie's really scared cuz Casey has come really close to winning some competitions. Hopefully, people will not vote Casey off, I like him, I think he's kool, although I must admit Jordan's ditzyness is quite hilarious and entertaining. but whatev, it doesn't really matter.

it's pretty shocking that Ronnie has not been put up. This might've been a mistake on Jessie's Part...idk we'll (me & my other personalities) see.

==========================================================

Overall, I'm good. Summer's not eventful, but I'm so enjoying it because before I know it, I'm gonna be so busy, it'll be pretty difficult to find time to chill, and I'm not going to like that. So, I will enjoy my break while it lasts.

other than that,
I'll holla atcha later!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

ummmmmm....yeha too lazy to come up with a creative title....

that could've been the name of this blog....
but whatev...
I've realized I'm updating just about everyday now.
That's kinda scary, cuz apparently I'm not doing anything with my summer...
hahahahhaa

just a couple (dos, mbili <----ahhh I miss Swahili!) thingys to talk about....
==============

BB Updation

I think I'm officially obsessed with this show. Wouldn't you say? but ummm yeha. So Laura went home. Expecting Ronnie to go home this week. He was not nominated, but that doesn't mean he won't be backdoored. The people up for elimination is Jordan (popular) & Michelle (brains).

I realized while watching this show, that I actually would never wanna go on this show. I think it would be kool to go through the experience for a couple of weeks, but you know no amount of money would make me go through that stuff for like 3 months...it's just foolish-ness...I mean you're not going make me eat slop for nothin....I mean I'm not that money-hungry....but who knows maybe....probably not.....

oh there was this weird thing on the show today. Two girls were "fighting" over Jessie...??? why??? I just think I really don't like this guy, even though he might be really kool person, he was such a jerk on last season, that that's (???) all I think about when I see him/talk about him. Funny thing is I don't even remember exactly what he did last season.....

hahahaha

============================================================

I don't really have anything else to update about (question: tell me what you think about this? NO!, who are you destiny's child? Then what?, Why don't I just make this a post about big brother? Save the hassle...)

I was gonna post a picture...but I'm way to lazy to look one up.....soooo

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Who actually needs a title? just read...

BB Updation

so ol girl, umm Laura , from the Popular clique went home. Ironically I thought she would be the most likely to win (see how wrong I was), but this was before the first episode. cuuz there was vids of all the cast online, and I watched them. She just seemed the most determined, and was like she came to win soo I thought she would. But she went home mainly becasue she ran her mouth too much, she was talking smack about the HOH, Ronnie, not such a good thing. So she went home, NOT Russell. I think that may come to bite back Ronnie in the butt, actually I think he might be going home next week but who knows, crazy big brother.

Yeha, he might not go home, because Jessie is HOH (again, ughhhh)..and they're supposed to be in a alliance, but who knows well see. Most def on Tuesday.

=================================================================

VBS Updation

Last day was on Friday, it was an okay program, not as many children came back that was there doing the week. That seems to happen every year, but what can you do?. ummmm it was good though. I'm definitely glad it's over, cuz it was kinda stressful, but not THAT stressful. It was also TIRING. but now I don't have nothing (ooo double negative) to do per say...but I'll figure that out. I'm thinking about joining the choir thing for a musical at my church, but I don't know if I want to...we'll see....but for VBS that's it....

===========================================================

Eagle Eye

Saw this movie today, one word: CRAZINESS!!. Omg! This movie was ridiculous in the beginning, got kinda boring, predictable towards the end. I won't reveal to much of it. but Shia LaBaeof and this other lady (Michelle Monaghan...???) are seen as terrortists, and are basically running for their lives. Basically it's a set up. But by who? Pretty good movie, got and kept my attention.


==========================================================

Black In America: Part 2.

Watched the first part of this. and I guess it was better than the last one, can't remember what "Part 1" was like. But you know there was def a theme this time: Tommorrow Leaders. Basically showed people who are preparing and those becoming those Leaders. There was a small shout-out ,if you will, to NU. One of the people from the show who was of main focus, is (went?) to Kellogg, so that was really kool to see. I think it also gave a more diverse specturm of what it means to be black in America than what I remember from the first one. pretty kool, I guess.

They're supposed to be doing a Latino in America also....interesting.....my question is should they do a White in America? Or do we all already know that story!

===========================================================

NU Football Season

Just wanted to say I am so excited for the upcoming football season at NU! (for the 70th time). triggered by a football game. the Big Ten Network showed the game '08 against Illinois (our rivarly, and interestingly the nearest Big Ten School to my house). We won this game. and It just got me so excited to watch the game and see our football team winning (all that purple), and also to faintly hear the band in the background....it's just way to amazing. I saw a clip of the band once, like 2 second clip of the band, and I went crazy!

Here's highlights of the game, awesome!



Just mucho excited! AHHHH!
GO 'CATS!!!

Random Tidbits and such...

"The Invisible Man"

Pics from Damn Cool Pics. Check out the original post here. Totally amazing how good some of these are.
This is kool cuz I was totally thinking about this a couple of days ago. Like how hard would it be to have something that'll make you invisible. Like each and every one of your particles will have to be unseen by human eye, would you have to genetically change stuff?...idk how that would work?
(Reason for this thought: I think my brother was watching that Muppets in Space movie, and there's this part where the muppets become invisible, and it got me thinking about it. ) anywayz check out the pics.

(there's more, but you should check out the post, cuz I didn't want to post them all)

VBS Updation

Today was pretty much the last day of VBS, the last day of teaching. Tommorrow, Friday, every class does a presentation, and that's about it. It was pretty good today. I was actually getting really used to it. I can say I really enjoyed myself this week. I was expecting it to be very hard, and just tiring and down right boring. But you know it was good. I just kinda wish we could've got more people to come. But it is what it is. God got it all in control.

Next week, I'm just gonna be so bored, well probably not. I can say it'll probably be uneventful, but you know you never know. If it is you'll know and if it's not you'll know so don't worry about that...

==========================================================

No BB update, didn't see it tonight of course becuz of VBS, updation on it tomm....

Youtube Mania: Numero 123456789000000000000

hey another round of this....
watch 'em.....

1. "DON'T TRUST ME" : SARAH PALIN

this vid is pretty funny. Sarah Palin is pretty funny. I just like the chorus of this song...plus Shane Dawson is hilarious.



2. LANGUAGE PROBLEMS!

I have general communication problems, forget Language Problems, but I do have moments like why did I say that? that doesn't even make sense! yeha watch this vlog.



3. NeYo / Ne Yo crying in Manchester. Concert Postponed and Crow

This was just generally weird, I though maybe he was crying cause of song he was singing...nope...um crying cuz he couldn't perform or something its just really weird. To me, if you're gonna cry, can you cry offstage? cuz that was just awkward.



4.Praise & Adoration sings "Spiritual Medley"

I did find a video of it (YEHA!). the Spiritual Medley by Sounds of Blackness. not the original group butthey did a pretty good job. I just felt like this song would be really hard to perform live, probably cuz I have exactly gotten the medley/notes down yet. so it was kool to see someone perform it...



5. Chris Browns REAl apology

okay hilarious. that's all I have too say. I was laughing hard....almost on the floor.



6. The Soup: MJ Montage Mania

This was my problem with the whole Michael Jackson thing. Like people talking about stupid shit. Like seriously you have nothing else to do with your life. I do admit this was pretty funny.....




alright that it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

The Wiz- the Movie

okay, so I bought this movie on DVD, aftre hesitating whether or not i should buy it. and I watched it lasted night, and I was like this movie was/is Amazing!

my favorite character, the one I would mostly likely like (??) to portray in stage production, would be the Lion, played by Ted Ross, this character is funny, and Ross is amazing! Tidbit: He was actually the lion in the original Broadway production, probably why he does such a great job. He doesn't really look like himself with all the make up & costume on (photographic evidence below).

Also he also sings one of my fav musical songs I'm a Mean Ole Lion (the background is amazing, the trumpets, the whole arrangement, amazes me everytime, AND the snarling of the Lion, like whaaa)

Ted Ross

(he passed sometime in 2002, i didn't know that : ( R.I.P. )

as the Lion

(looks completely different)

my second favorite one would be the Scarecrow, beautifully portrayed by the late Michael Jackson. and watching this movie last night I was like "MJ did a great job!" like i never really notice before, but everything he did was very sincere, like u really get the feeling he's this scarecrow. oh & love his quote at the end of the film.

Success, fame, and fortune, they're all illusions. All there is that is real is the friendship that two can share.

This makes me kinda upset he didn't do more movies, but hey. this one is great.

I know I'm getting very analytical of this movie (which is a secret passion of mine, not so much a secret anymore), but I really discovered that this movie has a deeper message about Freedom.

if you look at it, the Scarecrow was stuck up on the pole , the Tin Man was stuck under Tiny, and the Lion was stuck in the Lion stature thing. For various reasons they were stuck and weren't free until Dorothy came along, who ironically was stuck in this land called Oz. The Scarecrow was stuck on the pole because he was listening to people (the crows) telling him he could never get down, the Tin Man stuck under tiny, his past lover or whatnot, she was bringing him down, and the Lion stuck by his past of not showing courage or what not.

AND after they kill Evillene,they, along with all the workers, sing A Brand New Day, which to me is the time in which everyone receives their freedom. Freedom from those things that held them down/back. Then, coming to only find out that this "Wiz" which they looked to get their freedom from, was also stuck, behind his dishonesty, and his own past of not being able to get elected to office. But after Dorothy helps everyone realize their freedom, she is able to be free, and return home.

Overall, I think maybe the people who wrote this was just saying to people ( i think more so black people) is to get Free, stop letting people hold you back, and those things you don't think you got, look within yourself it's there, you just have these obstacles holding you back and you can't see that you possess what you desire. ( this is HEAVY!!!!)

I'm just really glad I bought this DVD, now I can watch it anywhere, pretty kool.
btw this movie is def a Black-tackular one.

aight

Updations! Again.

Hey another day in my world....
read if you care, even if you don't you should probably read it anywayz...

VBS Updation

Pretty kool, Still really enjoying teaching the kids, some crazy stuff going with some VBS staff (heard from director's mouth herself: people showing up late, blah blah), but it's all good. It'll all be done in 2 days. Today's lesson was about Peter denying Christ (well the whole week has been about Peter and his relationship with Jesus) and basically I'm like what was wrong with this people, jokingly.

Like Jesus was like to Peter you're going to denying me 3 times before the rooster crows, and Peter's like NO, I would never to that (I'm sure he was very serious). But he sure did deny him three times. But I mean how are you supposed to respond about that to Jesus, "Yeha, you know what Jesus, I am". But anywayz basically the lesson was about forgivness, even though Peter denied him 3 times, Jesus still forgave him. Amazing. So forgiving.

But yeha that was today's lesson. I remember Tyler Perry talked about forgivness on one his plays, that's a heavy and really serious topic that people don't really recognize. People be carry around stuff against people that they should just let go, it ain't no good for you to walk around with that stuff. Forgive and let it go. Cause it ain't doing nobody no good.

And I think that's becoming more apparent for me being a teacher, you gotta realize that people are human, they make mistakes, that's the whole point of forgivness, ain't nobody gonna be perfect, we try, but we not. So why hold on to this stuff, that's pretty much gon happen anywayz, I mean if ain't one thing then it's another. but yeha....

sorry for the rambling (but this is my blog...soooooo bite me! )

=============================================================

BB Updation

this was the first thing I watched today, there was nothin on tv. Anywayz, so remember how I was saying Ronnie was thinking about backdooring Russell? He didn't do it (SUCKA!). I mean I kinda didn't want him to do it cuz I felt like people were ganging upon Russell and they wanted him to go for personal reasons (stupid), like he cussed Lydia out or something. And Lydia started like crying and was like "no one should be talked to like that". I think she had to be faking, you can't be expecting people to meet 12 strangers, and not expect to cussed out at some point, i mean yeha. so she wanted him out, and I'm like really?.

But anywayz Ronnie put up,Jordan (the ditzy blonde, like really she didn't/doesn't know what people mean when they say "it's a quarter till", basically she didn't know what a "quarter" is in clock time) so now it's Jordan up against Laura, both of the Popular clique. Really don't care who goes home, but of course, I'll be watching on Thursday, no Friday, I guess.

=============================================================

I don't have another topic to rant, actually I do but it's so important it's a whole nother post...
so Random Picture!

VBS Update

2nd day completeo! yeha! pretty kool, alot like yesterday, but still had fun nevertheless. We pretty much had the same children from yesterday, so I was really trying to know their names & charactersitcs now. There's a couple of "bad" ones: one that just wants to talk all the time, and the other is just like crazy...

It's kinda hard, to me, to teach kids about God, well not hard, but just really difficult, unless you really make it at a level where they can understand, but I think most of them get the basic concept, they just don't seem like their paying attention. I don't know. pretty kool day, today.

===================================================
Tyler Perry Trailer

For his movie, "I can do bad all by myself" has been released. Starring Tariji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige (we'll see), Gladys Knight (we'll also see). & Some guy Rodriquez can't remember it exactly oh, and Tyler Perry. Of course I'll go see this, and I'm expecting mucho drama, which is what I love! so I'll probably like it. You can find the trailer here.

===============================================================

WTF?!

I don't think dudes should have words in their hair, but whatev. I think this is a dude from Pretty Ricky on the set of their new video "Tipsy". Funny thing is I saw this pic earlier today, and I didn't notice the word tipsy till I saw it again. Just a mess tho.

=================================================================

Pat Fitzgerald, Hall of Famer

The Coach of the Wildcats was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, not for coaching, but for being a player @ NU in '95. He wons some awards that I don't want to look the name up. But anywayz dude was a beast on defense. This once again makes me excited about NU football season. AHH!

yeha that's it.

BB Update

--------------

Would've update about this on Sunday but i didn't feel like it. anywayz Ronnie is HOH, he put up Laura & Jeff (who's from the Chi)...His plan is to back door Ronnie, an Athlete, so maybe that'll happen. I could be down with that. This seems to happen every season. If you come out too strong, or that you're a really good competetitor, i mean people try to get the greatest threat out. So Ronnie is defintely being smart. Well see what happens Tuesday, but I probably won't see the actually episode until Wed (and therefore won't update til then) because I'm doing VBS this week.
yeha

================================================================

VBS Update

VBS started today, got 4 mo days left. Okay, so I told you I was an asst. teacher for primaries (6-8 yrs old). Turns out today the guy who was supposed to teach the class said he couldn't make it (I kinda had the gut feeling this would happen) but um I would have to teach, which was no problem (suprsingly) except I didn't have any teaching material whatsoever, because I was only had assiting materials. So I started teaching for 5 mins, I had no idea what to do. but my mom made the executive decision to combine the two primary class, which ironically is what was planned at first, but anywayz it was pretty funny & fun.

Cuz my auntie was teaching the other class, and she's like crazy. I really enjoyed myself. She's an actual teacher so it was kool to see what she did. Like we had got done with the story, and she was asking questions, but only one kid was answering, so she was like he's going to candy tommorrow. just basically to encourage the other students to answer questions. just glad everything worked out though. Should be an interesting week.

oh a funny thing happen, we were talkin about sin, like you shouldn't do wrong stuff. and my auntie was like you shouldn't lie or whatev (yeha blame it on the memory). and this boy named Charles, who could not stop talking the whole time, said (paraphased of course) "people were lying on me saying I hit a girl, but didn't nobody believe me, but I did choke that boy" , funniest thing ever.

hahaha

============================================================

Chris Brown is Sorry

He posted a youtube video in which he's apolgizing for the thing with Rihanna. I'm glad he made the video, so it would be official, I feel it wasn't necessary (at least for me). As long as he got forgiveness from God & Rihanna its all good. That's all that I hope is that he apolgized to her. It's all good though cuz I'm not mad it, never was I, people make mistakes, we're all human, yes even Chris Brown. Even if you know something is terribly wrong, that doesn't mean you won't do it. But its good. He did it, and he's apolgizing. Good.

here's the vid,

1. NU MLK Day 2009 Celebration with Mavis Staples Pt. 2 of 4

I'm in a choir at NU. NCE (Northwestern Community Ensemble) we call it. In the later half of the video its us singing "Thank you Jesus". Remember, this was the day Mavis Staples touched my hand. And if you look at the related video she touches my hand first, yes, there is evidence. But anywayz check it out.



2. EVELYN TURRENTINE-AGEE

Who did it? GOD DID IT! Love this song! My mom recently got the CD (like yesterday). This video was apparently at some gospel legends thing. I saw this on tv once, i think. I'm going have to come back to it though. *btw, I see you Kirk Franklin!*



3. Gospel Choir Song - I Love to Praise Him

Okay so this may not be the best version of this song, but I had to add this video for the marching in. That's usta be the coolest thing to me. I love when I could marching in.



4.Howard Gospel Choir - "Song of Praise"
Many a day I find this song in my head, even though I don't really know the words. Howard does a great job with this. Like amazing.



Here are some others couldn't find a video of but love them nevertheless.

They Didn't Know by Kurt Carr (amazing song)

A Spiritual Medley by Sounds of Blackness (crazy good)

Anthem of Praise by Richard Smallwood (yes)

could definitely added more to this list. but it would become extremely long.
anywayz that it.
God Bless!

Updation about Unreleated Things...

BB Update
------------

The black girl, Chima, was almost gone y'all. I was about to be mad. But Braden (white surfer dude, in the popular clique) was evicted from the BB house, which is good cuz supposedly he said some racist stuff or something, idk nothin about it.

Ronnie (the Star Wars nerd guy) won HOH (big suprise, like really). so that means Chima is safe. kool. I'm not sure what's gonna happen with Ronnie as HOH, hopefully he'll be smart (hahaha get it he's apart of the Brain clique?) and put up an Athlete (Jessie or Russell would be good to me at least). The game has begun . yeha that's it.

=================================================================

Do the Right Thing

watched this Spike Lee Joint last night. It was alright. Basically a 2 HOUR movie about DAY in Bed-Stuy (shouldn't it be spelled "Bed Sti" cuz that how people say it..). I mean there was a lot racism in this movie and such (by such I mean profanity). And I see he was trying to bring racism up as a topic for discussion.

The ending was a little crazy, thoug, very dramatic from outta nowhere. Def a Black-tackular movie. I just thought it would be more funny then it wuz for some strange odd reason.

Oh, Spike Lee is in the movie, and I was watchin' it and I was like why he gotta be in all his films, cuz he's a terrible actor, like fo real. but anywayz this is definitely going on the list.

=================================================================

so today as I was cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom ( i don't know for some reason I just felt like doing that. well the dishes were piled high, i really didn't have to clean the bathroom though), I was listening to Musicals on my Ipod (Wicked, Sweeny Todd, the Wiz, Dreamgirls, Annie , Bye Bye Birdie, etc.) And I just began to think about how much I miss the THEATRE. I really enjoyed the stage in high school, it was really funn (duh, or else i would've done it).

ThereFORE I'm thinking about trying to do some type of play thing when I head back to NU. That would be SO kool. but yeha..I was totally in Musical mood today.

===================================================================

Also today, I randomly watched two basketball games from NU's previous season on the Big Ten Network.

In both of these games we won (GO 'CATS!). One against Purdue (Pur- Don't) & the other Ohio State (boo!), both of these were amazing games that I hadn't seen before. My question: why couldn't they play like that in the all games (especially the Illinois Game) ? they were just amazing. Hopefully we get better this year coming up.

Watching these NU basketball games made me think of football. and I am so excited for the football season. I love football, especially NU. but NU has really allowed me to enjoy football all around. but um yeha excited about that even though it's far away.

Found some highlight videos of those basketball games, watch. (Craziness, good crazy though)

Against Ohio

(that last shot, amazing)

Against Pur-Don't

================

actually these topics were releated BB-> racism -> Do the Right Thing & Musicals -> NU -> NU sports. yeha they did.

Random Tidbits

in my head all day........
booty dew - by the GS boyz, they're the people who did the Stanky (eww) Leg song.
I have no idea why it was in my head all day. I think I just maybe want do the booty dew.
peep the video:



(do the booty dew, do the booty dew)<---that's all I been singing.(sadness ensues :()

===========================================================
today,
I helped with VBS (vacation bible school) at my church (well actually my mom is the director of VBS this year so I had no choice) It was kool I guess. I mean I actually got to see the neighborhood my church was in, since I don't really live there.

I'll be assisting teaching a class of i think 7-9 yr olds. It should be kool. Kids are always something else. VBS starts on 20th lasting through the 24th. Five days. Should be interesting. yeha...

===========================================================

so I posted my "project" of the summer on the 'tube today. It's just me doing crazy stuff with my webcam. Also there's excerpts of a convo with Dan Shin (thought some parts of it were funny, and plus it changes up the dynamics of the video). anywayz watch it. it's kool, i think.



exploring the files on my home comp. (it's like the only one i use cuz I can't really get (steal) wireless with my laptop like anywhere. SUCKS!) and I found this old video I made in like the 10th grade (idk) its only like 50 seconds...but it's kool i think. i posted it on myspace way back ago. and I was trying to get it on the 'tube earlier, but I could, i'll figure it out. but anywayz check this one out too....

All about me


* these videos may make me seem really vain, but that's not the case. I just get uber bored...and these videos happen. but really I don't really care if I come off as vain. cuz I'm not. but whatev...hahaaha*

Not sure what update about.......

cuz of course I haven't been up to much.....
But I really wanted to update sooooo.....
here ya go, i guess....

BB UPDATE
-------------------

So this episode of BB was so much better than the previous 2. People are really starting to play the game, which I still think its too early, unless you're on the chopping block. But hey whatever. I loved this episode because there was drama, that's basically the only reason I watch it. Like people were arguing and its only the first week (CRAZINESS!). Also one dude, I believe his name is Ronnie, almost got caught up in a lie. And that was pretty good. well, he did get caught but the other dude just didn't say it. All this like happened in the last half of the episode (HOW LAME!).

Also, I've come to the conclusion (w/ the help of Wikipedia), that there is 2 (3?!) black people in the house. Chima (1), Kevin (1/2 black and 1/2 japanese), Russell (1/2 black and I guess 1/2 white). If you had up halves and such you get 2, but should each person be counted as black or mixed or whanot?? (idk). But that's kool I guess. But still there's hardly ever any obvious black males on the show. Kool season so far, though.

=============================================================

what else can I update about?!!
hmmmmmmm.....

--Michael Jackon ( too sick of all the drama surronding it)

--Burr Oak Cemetery (Madness, straight buffoonary to the 12th degree, but no)

--Sarah Palin resigning (Who cares? I don't)

--Harry Potter (Nope, never been interested really.....yeha)

i just don't know. I really don't. This is pitiful.
Well that could only mean one thing (what?!)
It's........ (peanut butter jelly time?!)
Random Picture Time (booo!)
well it's all I got (lame, lame-0)
whatever, here ya go

found this at Explain this image .com (see it in the corner)....anywayz tons of photo that are unexplainable. I have to subscribe to this.
Aight that's it....

Random Tidbits

I'm really liking this "Random Tidbits", it's like I can update about things totally unrelated. Amazing!

===============================================================

Big brother first episode

so BB is still my current obsession. But I really didn't enjoy the first episode, I think it's because it just started out. I was just expected something more. I guess, but anywayz one of the people I hated from last season is back on the show: Jessie.

(can't believe I just posted a pic of him on my blog...uhh)

He's this body-builder, conceited person...i hate people like that....he just thinks he's the shit when he ain't shit. like really, and this person is back on the show.....at least he'll bring good drama.... i guess.
But ummm oh the new thing this season is everyone is split into high school cliques: Brains, Athletes, Popular, and Offbeats. What clique do I belong in Brains, Popular, or Offbeat (most def not Athletic)?? idk. I think I'm most def closer to Brains. yeha. oh and if someone in the clique gets HOH (head of household) then everyone in the clique is safe. So that def changes the game.

***updation: Tonight's episode was alot better. Got to know some people a little more. And a little drama ensued. Not much, but you know I'm excited. So yeha we'll see what happens. Two People have been nominated...Tuesday's show is going be about Power of Veto competition. sooo yeha...

=================================================================
My Video in the Making.

So I've been working on a video that is a combination of random videos I have taken with my HP Webcam. I'm gonna put it on youtube and of course on here, one of these days. It'll be my production of the summer.... i guess.....

================================================================
Life update

Life, has been the same for quite a while. Doesn't look like I'm getting a job. But I think that's okay. I've been kinda doing the same thing e'erday but not really. I don't know. There's not much going's on. But if there was...this "Life update" would be more updational....

===============================================================

Dance your ass off.

So there's this new dance show on the Oxygen network called dance your ass off. Basically it's helping fat (overweight?, obese?) people get into shape, with dancing, AND working out, and changing their eating habits and such.

It sound likes a really good idea. I find it mildly entertaining. It'll be good to see some changes eventually. OH, what I really wanted to say is that they've been having them wear some bogus out-fits, gee and they be thinking they be sexy...but it just be nasty. I mean till you lose some weight I think you should cover that up (but that's just me...)..

(This is okay)



(this is not)

Dairy Queen

(none of these are snickers blizzard, but they all look good :) )

I think I just wanted to remind myself...whatev....I'm going.

Movie Rambling...

so since I haven't been up to much
I have been watching tons & tons of stuff,
including movies (with On Demand and such).
Here's a list of ones I thought was worth mentioning...

*sidenote: Don't think I updated about this on here, but me and my friends decided to come up with a Black Movie List ( I think the official title is Black-tackular...). A Black Movie is movie where the main character(s) are black...basically (at least to me) there has to me 3 or more main black characters...but anywayz some movies will be Black-tackular worthy...so that's what that means.*

1. Double Platinum

this movie stars Diana Ross & Brandy, came out in the '90s. Anywayz I found this movie highly enjoyable (more than I expected I guess). I mean there was singing and even a little drama. oh, the plot, so Diana Ross is Brandy's mother. Diana Ross is a star, and Brandy is an upcoming one. (yeha so they get to sing). But I enjoyed it. I think it's definitely Black-tackular worthy.

2.Final Destination

watched this one On Demand. I was looking for something with drama and thrill, and I thought this would be it. Okay, It Def was. so that airplane scene was crazy, wait the whole movie was crazy. I feel like someone has to be crazy/suicidal to think of different ways for people to die. Though, I do want to watch the rest of the series now. But I def had to watch something funny after this (even though it wasn't that scary)...just so I would think about it. It was actually a "scary" movie and not gory.

3.The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings

Yes, a long title = hilarity. Really enjoyed this film. Kinda old, came out in the '70s (as you see I don't try to get correct dates, who cares?). But it stars Billy Dee Williams & James Earl Jones (Love how it's their whole names) who are pretty young in this film, at least compared to now. It's basically a sports movie (baseball), but actually really funny. At first I didn't really get the humor (idk sometimes I'm really slow). But this is most def black-tackular worthy.

4. Fantastic four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I remember seeing the first one, and I thought it was pretty awesome (at least what I could remember of it) but I found the sequel to be really lame (per usual). I don't know it wasn't exciting to me at all. It sucked. One funny thing: I forgot Kerry Washington's character was blind, I was just like what happened to her?! cuz she had such a funny look on her face. Then someone said something and I was like oh she's blind. Other than that really didn't like it. I know what it was. It got to outer spacey. yeha.......

5. Cube

Okay really enjoyed this movie. About seven people who find themselves in place full of cubes. And basically try to escape. That's all I have to say. It was a pretty good movie though. It really interested me, the math involved in the movie (cuz I'm geek......). If there was more black people in this movie it would definitely be black-tackular (i think one of the guys was mixed....maybe he might've been hispanic or something). but it's not soooooo.....

6. Waterworld

Also, another movie I really loved. Basically the polar caps melted and now humans live on water, no land in sight. Basically its like generation, and generations after they melt, so like people are used living on the water. In fact, people start to mutate to like fish-men. Stars some white guy (sorry not good with names). I had to look this up. Kevin Costner. Really enjoyed this movie though. I actually don't think there was any black people in this movie (guess we wouldn't surivive if the polar caps melted....hahaha...). I didn't think about that till now. Like I do watch movie without black people.


anywayz, that my movie rambling.
if you read all that, then you're amazing!!!
if you didn't, then you're probably not reading this right now.

Youtube Mania!

here's another round of the videos currently under my favs at youtube....
ENJOY!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. PEREZ HILTON PUNCHED IN THE FACE?!?!

Okay already talked about this in some post. But um here's a video about found it pretty hilarious.....



2. Perez Hilton gets his A** WHOOPED!!

Yes, another video about Perez Hilton, but now the human = Muppet. Really funny! I love HATERAZZI....(they're the people who did the Beyonce/Rihanna in the Color Purple)



3. Craziest/Boldest White Guy Ever

Found this one hilarious too! Basically this white guy dresses up as a KKK member and goes around the "hood". WOW.....bold & crazy



4. Math Dragon

Wish I had a Math Dragon with me in school. This might be funnier if you puff the "Magic Dragon" (or if you're me)....yeha...



5. 789

Why is six afraid of seven? You all heard this joke. This movie takes it to the extreme. I really wish this was an actually movie cuz I would watch it. Seriously.....



6. Dating Losers

Found this on Damn Cool Pics. This is pretty hilarious, really didn't know there were people like that out in the world. Reminded me so much of a MAD tv sketch ( alot things do actually). Pretty funny though.



That's it. ( <-----period)

Tidbits about my life....

Tuesday the 7th was my mom's B-day
(she's the BIG arobaini, I won't put all her business out like that)...but anywayz...
I went with my mom to Bingo on Tuesday.
It was pretty fun, 'cept there was a whole bunch of ol' (can I say white? yes I can it. it's my blog) white people there. It's like that all time though (well, I have only been there once before) but yeah....

(funny it's an old white man! hahaha)

It was pretty kool, it's basically like gambling, no it is gambling....but it's not that expensive I guess...I did win one game and I won $60!!! ( I would've had $120 but this lady bingo-ed with me...uhhh)

AND I was about to win $500 on the jackpot round, which was a coverall, had to cover you whole board to win Bingo. I had one number left, 59, (damn 59!) and the announcer guy (who was also old, white, and like basically deaf) said 50 (and I was like 9, right?) NO! just 50...and somebody else BINGO-ed.........bull right?! uhhhh....but anywayz it was funn...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is really not news, but My mom made some PEACH COBBLER
(oh how I love you peach cobbler, i could make a song about you)

....it was really good.........really really good....I mean you don't have Peach Cobbler e'erday. So when you do it's like head-lining news (shiiitt)....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So for like the past 3 months and 1/2 I have been debating whether to buy the Sims 3.

You know I really wanted to buy it, but then it cost $50, and to me that alot for a GAME, especially one I never played before....

but anywayz on Monday I was totally going buy it, (I was seriously like I'm going to buy tomorrow). Go to the website....I'm like I should check to make sure it fits the requirements cuz I saw somebody's facebook status talking about how they bought it, but then it didn't work on their computer....so I looked...and my laptop processor is like too slow. I think I need a 2.4 and my computer's is only a 1.8 (what these numbers stand for I can't remember neither do I really care).


...but I was really upset I couldn't buy it.....so looks like I'll never play it....(well Never say never i guess..i'll seee)

Aight that's it!

Jackson Memorial Service

Before I get to that I would like to say this is MY 100th post! (can you believe I wrote 100 of these thingys... gosh....)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure you all know about this it's been all over the news....
my opinion: I loved it! I thought it was a great thing to do. I don't think it was too much (he's MJ), it might've been a tad bit too long though (but that's like any black person's funeral).

I loved just about everything but are some of my uber favs:

Jennifer Hudson (wit hu' pregnant self...sidenote: why do celeb women lie about having a baby, like that's nothing you can't hide...like your gonna get caught...J-Hud did it and Lauren London did it (yes the girl from This Christmas, ATL) She's also pregnant, rumor has it's lil' wayne's baby but that a whole 'nother post that never actually get posted.....)

His daughter, Paris...omg! Feel so sad for her and her brother. I just hope they'll be okay, I'm sure they will.

(love this picture...she's looking at her daddy)

Jermaine almost made me cry as well, I had no idea how he was singing that song.....Cuz I couldn't do it if my brother was dead ( i would probably say "i ain't got time to sing no damn song, my brother's dead, shit I'm mourning!" hahaha)

All Jokes Aside, though really enjoyed the memorial service, glad everyone (the world) got to witness that.

Finally, I hope that they will leave MJ alone, like seriously, I'm really tired of hearing about. Now after they find out the results of the autopsy or whate'er, please stop talking about it him. Damn! Ya'll gave the man hell why he was alive, let him rest! that all I gotta say though. Like.. I don't mind being updated about the situation, cuz I wanna why stuff happened and exactly what happened. But that shouldn't be your main focus, there's worse shit going on in America, right now....okay!! whew! that felt like a rant...sorry I just got so emotional.....

Really Michael REST IN PEACE!

New Layout

Hey people's (what up though)
as you can see, hopefully
I have changed up the layout of my blog (Always time for a change, I guess) Can you spare some change please?...
As you can see it's nicely colorful and bold....really like the squiggly-ness of the blog post area....

Let me know if you like it or what not.
It would be very much appreciated.

Funny thing about this layout ( i did not make it)
but the person who made it had like everything in spanish...so I had to like translate stuff (of course I used the google translate thing, it would've taken my me 5 days to translate it myself.)...
it was just really funny...to me at least...

anyways hope you enjoy this new layout,
more updations later!

PRE-Obsession: BIG BROTHER 11

I'm calling it right now, i'm gonna be totally obsessed...
it premieres this Thursday @ 7 pm -central time. I believe on CBS (duh)...
kinda excited. (actually i'm really really excited!)
I look forward to this show every summer.
I would love to be on this show at least one time in my life (huh), just to see if I could win...i mean it would be interesting...i don't know..we'll see......


The House:
basically it's like real world with more people and involves 1/2 million dollars. People live in a house (not really its in a studio) for 3 months. wait it's not like real world, there's drinking and what not but they can't go out the house or anything....nevermind not like the real world. anywayz ..Someone is voted off each week, last person in the house wins the money.

watch this vid about the house. The lady is Julie Chen, who's uber skinty.

Big Brother

Shared via AddThis

Don't really like this "bad" room and "bad" shower thing..sound like punishment (but people will do anything for money i guess)
THE CAST:
consists of about 13 people, maybe more or less. None of them know each other, they try to get different types of people. sometimes the people have been related (like brother and sister) and not knowed it. They also done a thing with twins playing as one person...

here's a video with cast members (looks like 1 maybe 1 1/2 black people on the show....)

Big Brother

Shared via AddThis


sidenote: one thing ive noticed is that there's not really many black males on Big Bro...there always seems to be black females..its just probably because they don't get enough black males to audition for the show..that's logical to me...


THE TWIST(s): ???
Sometimes they aren't strangers or what not. There's crazy stuff like the "bad" room or something like that....i mean there is usually surprises all around. I think the producers and people try to make it interesting every year...

known twist-type thing: Apparently they've only revealed 12 out of the 13 houseguests, the last person, who's supposed to be someone people may know (people are speculating it's someone from a previous season, idk). it's gonna be revealed on tuesday. there's gonna be more twists along the way not sure what they r neither do i have any guesses. i like going in ignorant, hahaha.

but yeha i'll probably update about this show if crazy things happen: probably not....
but this is my pre-obsession, will officially become my current obsession on Thursday...
that's all folks!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Interesting Tidbits

just random stuff that i wanted to post about
i guess....yeha....


1.Nigaz: Racist??
According to therawfeed.com, there is a Russian and Nigerian joint venture
called 'Nigaz' (hahahaha funny). Racist?! maybe. Probably not.... the company is called
Gazprom. Combined with Nigeria, and abbrev-ed, you could get Ni(geria) gaz (prom). and according to one of the commenters on the post Gaz in russian means gas....idk. I just thought this was funny, caught me by suprise or somethin'....hahahaha


2. Fish stole an old woman's dentures?
Nope. It's a fish with human like teeth. Found this on Damn Cool Pics, which this defintely wass..
check out these pictures...


kinda freaky? right...but still damn cool.....


3. I could never be a weatherman.
Cuz my predictions about the Wimbeldon women's final was wrong. The Williams battled it down and what not. And I thought Venus would win but Serena won.
(intense).
Didn't get a chance to watch it, cuz it came on like super early on saturday......it was over bout the time i woke up and turned on the tv (like seriously...serena was holding the medal thing and then it went on commerical...)....I guess you should never underestimate anyone....I'm glad she won though..I'm just wonderin when someone else is gonna come along and beat them...or are they gonna have to quit to stop winning? who knows....

4. Blog Design
Has been the same since I started this blog.....thinking about changing it up. hopefully it'll be EPIC or something.....coming up in a couple day i guess or whenever I get around to it..

aight that's it...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Hey everyone in the USA!
Hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July!
However you celebrate the fo'rth, I hope you have the best time ever or something like that.
I'll be spending mine with the fam's and some good ol' barbecue (mmmmm)

In honor of Independence Day
here's a video of the one and only Whitney Houston
singing the National Anthem at some football game...
ENJOY!! :-)




And once again have a wonderful Fourth of July!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Updations!!

The Williams Sisters,

are once again dominating the tennis world at Wimbledon. Now I don't watch much sports, but for some reason I can watch tennis. weird, cuz I have def have no inkling to play it (that stuff look tiring).

Today was the women's semi-finals: consisted of two games, each with a Williams sister. Serena struggled to win hers, but I it looked like a good, drama-filled game. Venus though easily won hers(against the No.1 person whatever her name was), I was so suprised I was like dang! (that's how suprised I was). Apparently Serena's match took like 3 hours to finish ( one reason why I won't be playing tennis, games too damn long...). But they both won in the semi-finals, and once again they get to play against each other.

Venus has won Wimbeldon the last two years I believe. So that's who I'm thinking is gonna win. But you never know with though Williams Sisters.
I believe the game comes on Saturday...yes Independence Day! ( which was when I realized Great Britain doesn't celebrate the Fourth) the little voice in the back of my heads says: "duh, Idoit! Great Britain wouldn't celebrate the American Independence Day because it's a celebration of America's Independce from Great Britain. That's like saying.....gosh I can't come up with a good analogy....but you get it!"


Also I'm so tired of seeing Michael Jackson's name in the media. The guy has been dead for a week, let him rest. Cause nobody really cares anymore about his death(and by nobody I means Me). Just have the funeral, so people can move on with their lives. It's so annoying!. I kinda wanna make a youtube video about it similiar to the Leave Britney Alone! one. I can just see it now: LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE!!!

(kinda looks like he's saying in the middle of saying 'Alone' as in 'LEAVE ME ALONE!', which would go really nice with my post, but of course we all know he's just screaming...hahaha)

......anywayz....hopefully by next thursday we won't be having this same problem. This crap is ridiculous and blemtious!

I have about 2 months left of summer about.......and I have accomplished nothing. This is about the point in summer where I am so tired of seeing these same people. I guess you could say I miss NU! (my alma mater...."Hail to Alma Mater........) By these same people I mean my family..and by family I mean my immediate family, which makes me wish I was doing something more.....more...what's the word?....idk....just MORE....hahahaha

alright...dude I think this was an actual post pretty kool, huh?!
