New world Order

First of all let me just let you know I stole this word for word form concreteloop in a rush to write my response. read it there at Concreteloop.com
It's information on the Bail out and it's upsetting.
Read:

On Sunday, lawmakers unveiled a bill to rescue the nation’s troubled financial system. The $700 billion bailout is the largest in U.S. history and won support from both presidential candidates. The House will vote on the bill on Monday, and the Senate is expected to vote Wednesday. On Saturday, the Senate approved $25 billion in loan guarantees for the auto industry, which will hopefully be used to spark automotive innovation.

In a statement issued Sunday evening, President Bush said “this is a difficult vote, but with the improvements made to the bill, I am confident Congress will do what is best for our economy by approving this legislation promptly“.

House Minority Leader John Boehner told reporters, “Nobody wants to have to support this bill, but it’s a bill that we believe will avert the crisis that’s out there.”

This is complete BULLSHIT. It should be completely evident to anyone with a decent amount of sense that this whole thing is a scam.Just like the great depression was,all they want is more money.
It's ridiculous!
I know that this is all apart of the governments sick plan for complete power.
I'm also upset the Bush is trying to do all this mess before he leaves office.
It's shady and I'm extremely upset by these politician decisions as of right now.
If you knew what I knew you would be too.Watch this documentary with a friend preferably and share it with everyone you know and please Do you your research!
Don't be complacent with what the daily news feeds you.Go beyond that and don't be afraid to think and question.
It's your right!
So from me to you

Nostalgia

Alright
For those who don't already know I'm starting my own dance/theater company for the girls in my neighborhood and that's pretty big for me so I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. I spent hours on the computer typing up Registration forms ,Mission statements,Rules and Curriculum information ,I've even started a blog for it.
It's gotta be perfect.
I wanted to get photo's taken of me for my portfolio and to put on the blog so that people can have an idea of not only what I look like but my skill level.I sat around thinking about who to call.I met tons of photographers at all the concerts and events I attended over the summer but i just couldn't figure out who to call.So I started looking on my Myspace and facebook social networks and came across a good old friends page.Her and I had been extremely close while I lived in Hackensack. In elementary school we were like inseparable but when we got to middle school in sixth grade it all feel apart. I don't know I think it was the hormones(lol) but our whole crew was just in shambles! We all hated each other secretly and we couldn't trust each other any more.I know I personally was feeling stressed because I was moving that year and I didn't want to go and that made me moody and introverted,but we all eventually became friends again and now were all cool.
Back to the my home girl.
She's going to FIT as a photography major and she has some amazing photos, she's really good.I sent her a message asking her if she'd photograph me and she said yes! So of course now I'm ecstatic because thats one less thing I have to stress about during this next week. On top of all of that she's a friend so its more personal you know.
I've been dying to see her again to just hang out and talk , I know we've changed a lot and I'm curious.I often look through my old bud's photo albums just to check up on them. Seeing all the pics they have with friends and at prom ,I always think about how it would've been had I stayed or even just stayed in touch on some shit were we hung out form time to time.
I miss them
One fond memory I often revisit is one of a play we all did together ,ENCORES 2.It was great fun and I use to have tapes but i don't know where they are! we've moved so much since then and stuff just gets lost.
I always wonder if they think about me like I think of them.
If they watch the videos or look at my photos from time to time and think
" Wow we were so cool" or something like that(lol).
It nags at me and I always just want to ask but I have this fantasy of it being at like a get together so we could all just be together talking and laughing down memory lane.
Maybe one day soon but for now I'm just excited to be seeing Christy again.
Until next time
Lots-o-love

Do you see what I see?

Earlier today I was on the phone with my home Girl TaTa Milan and we were just talking about shit,we started talking about the technological advancements of our day and she told me something that bugged me out.She told me that there are glasses that double as your own personal fucking movie theater!
WHAT!

This of course is still blowing my mind even hours later, I had to find proof!
I researched a little and found all the proof I needed.There Called Ipod goggles and all you need is a video Ipod and you just plug it up to the goggles and watch it on little screens inside the lenses.
It's amazing but it seems like it would be hard for me to understand how you can actually watch something thats that close to your eyes but it's still cool none the less.
But that's not all thats amazing!
Theses futuristic bad boys are priced at $200
I gaged when I saw the price, I was expecting something like $400 if not more but Shit I'm not complaining.
lol
And there are so many different types and styles.
Others range from two hundred to three hundred dollars still very good prices .
If you want to make happy you can by me a pair :)

Beautiful Music

I was just checking out all my fav blogs and I while on Concreteloop I came across this photo of Bilal and Marsha (the songstress of floetry) and I was taken aback by the mere thought of them doing a song together.Can you imagine?! It would be amazing. Hopefully if they aren't already working together they'll read my black and be inspired to collaborate on something :)

Girl 6

Tonight I watched " Girl6" for the first time on Tv and even with all the edits I really enjoyed it. Me an my guy sat up and had a few laughs and began thinking about what our life's would be like as phone sex operators.:)

We asked each other questions like if we had a special request to be a Doctor what our name would be and why and stuff like that. He asked to hear my phone sex voice and I was so embarrassed!
I said" no" he said " why" my response was " because"
He left a few minutes ago leaving me here to think Why I get so Shy or nervous to do things like that with him.
Now let me just let yall know a little about me.I'm not at all a prude our sexually inhibited I just find it hard to turn it on on call.While in the act I'm not shy at all about " talking dirty" but to turn it on while at lunch or something is beyond me.
I have always had that issue and that spills into my professional life as a dancer and singer. Whenever someone asks me to sing or dance on call I just can't bring myself to do it and I if I do I feel extremely uncomfortable with it.But If you were to ask me to perform in front of 100 people it's no biggie.Like why? Why is it so hard for me to be comfortable with it? Maybe it's the whole intimacy factor? When I have to sing for like 3 people it's so nerve racking and i think it's because it so intimate and personal. It's especially weird because any one who knows me will tell you I'm very honest, comfortable and not at all shy with any body I meet.So for me to be so uncomfortable with my boyfriend, the man that I share myself with .. It's just backwards of me. And it's not just with sex talk, I can't even sing to him without getting extremely nervous!It's so weird but I'm definately trying to work on it because i wanna be able to sing for him before we sleep or while in the park , I think its sweet.I want to be able to fuck him verbally while on the phone without feeling the least bit shy .
I guess the only way I'm going to be able to get there is to start doing it right?
I don't know
?
I was talking to Caliel Cartel the other day about the little things I do for myself to make situations easier and one of my strategy's in life is to create different characters for different situations . I found it to be a great strategy for me. I know you're probably thinking "Ok well thats sounds like personality disorder" but it's not, you see I'm an actress so all of that is as natural to me as breathing. Anyway, Maybe I'll create a sexy character with him.She'll be a vixen thats confident and never shy. She'll have the ability to make his every fantasy a reality.
Ooh! I'm excited
I'm off too create her
wish me luck.

..:: MAXWELL ::..

I'm positively ecstatic about the long awaited return of Maxwell .On 106 and park yesterday
( click for video) he explained that he'd be releasing an album and going on tour starting in October .Can we say YES! I love this man y'all, as a singer and song writer myself he's been a major influence on me. He's a a real gem in the music game and every body feels the same way because his shows are selling out fast! Everyone has been waiting for him and he also informed us that he'll be dropping 3 albums over the next 3 years ( YES MAXWELL)
So now I'm on a mission to get some tickets to one of his shows .
Until then I'm Jonesing,Check out some of his older performances below.

New album

“It should be dropping by the end of this year or early next year. And I’ve pretty much been working with myself,” Benjamin told Rolling Stone. “I’ve never really been that big on collaboration. I have a concept, and all the soundscapes are already in my head, so I just have to figure out how to get there.” - Andre 3000

I'm really excited for this next album.I know that he's at a totally different place in his life and I'm interested to see how these past couple of years has changed him and how he'll use all of what he's learned and experienced in his music.He's so unpredictable so that'll make the wait that much more suspenseful for me.He said that his alum should drop by the end of this year or early next year so it should be the perfect birthday gift. ;)

Today is 9/11 as you all know.I'd like to pay homage to all the people that passed due to this tragic event and I wish all the families peace during this time.I'd just like to take the time out and say that I think it's ridiculous that 7 years has passed and they still haven't completed a monument and memorial for these people to come to every year.We've managed to build new Levees' in New orleans and entire new buildings In less time.I thinks it's unacceptable that in the three years Dubai Has managed amazing Infrastructures like this ( Click link If you are interested )

And we can't manage to build a memorial! it's infuriating but Again my heart goes out to all the people affected by this tragedy.
Take care

Kanye is one of the most famous entertainers in the world right now.When he goes out he has absolutely No privacy and He knows that ,but when You got photographers snapping shots of you All day I can totally understand why he'd loose his cool .Allegedly th camera was worth 10,000 dollars and you know what I say BULL SHIT ! lol
Paparazzi gets out of hand Sometimes they provoke these attacks .
I still don't understand how there is No law or laws to protect these celebs from crazed Pap! I've seen Pap block celebs from getting into there cars and stand in the way of them driving so that they can get pictures. The Most extreme case was when Britney was driving on a highway and Four Paparazzi vehicles surround her car (while still driving) and Didn't let her get through them when she attempted to make an exit.
That shit is Scary
And I'm not even sure if they were penalized for that!
When I get out I know I'm going to have to pull a bjork or two just so they know I'm crazy

...:::: Someboy's Gotta Say It :::...

OMG A friend of mine Posted this in a bulletin this afternoon.It's just a bit of ridiculousness.You don't have to read it but if you plan on going to a social event or party and want a conversation starter this could def be it!
This song is definately raising a bit of havoc within the world isn't it. People are saying all types of things
"She's a bad influence for my kids" being one of them.This is what I say
If you raise your kids right They will not be "influenced" by songs like this.I hate when people try to blame the media on whats happening to there children.
For instance
Remember when the little girl drowned in the ocean while trying to find Sponge Bob?
God rest her soul but if her parents would have sat her down and said " Look baby there is no Bikini Bottom and No talking Crabs Sponges Or star fish Running around with pants on int he ocean,It's just something Nickelodeon made up to entertain you" Then she wouldn't have dove into the ocean trying to find bikini Bottom! And where the hell were her parents when all this was going on?
That played a big part in her death as well.
As a parent you are Fully responsible in making sure your child is properly educated on the realities of life.That means making sure they know whats real and whats not and also letting them know about sex and all the stuff parents rely on the outside world to teach them.You can't be mad at Nickelodeon for your child's death! Not to seem insensitive but thats your fault..Period. If you were paying attention your child wouldn't have drowned,If you were paying attention just a little you would have been able to prevent it, Figure out why she did it and let her know why NOT to do that anymore.If you want your child to be brought up a certain way You must teach them.If you want to prevent somethign from happening you must take preventative caution. IF your child gets home from school earlier than you get home from you work you either A.get a baby sitter or B. put them in an after school program.Why? To keep them out of trouble and make sure they are taken care of because Ultimately you don't want anything bad to happen to them. If you want your child to go to an IVY League college what do you do?
You get them the best education and make sure you save money. It all boils down to you talking to your children and opening that line of communication with them so that you can talk to them about Anything.Pay attention to your kids So you can stop the problem before it starts. As far as Sexuality is concerned let them know that they have a choice , love is love regardless of gender .Don't confuse them By saying" when you find love go for it" but when you find out it's with the same sex turn around and say " We are disowning you" or "I don't understand". Also Let them know that Love isn't always what it seems and to be safe in the decisions that they make .If they need help making a decision you are there to help them through it.
Also
This whole "gay is wrong "and "your going to hell if your gay " shit is ridiculous. This is all coming from the same people that molest little boys IN CHURCH and the Murderers and sick Bastards that built America .What nerve! I can't even get into that right now thats another day and another post.
People say " God Made Adam And Eve Not Adam And Steve",But if you actually study the time in which the bible was written you'd know that gay marriage wasn't uncommon at all and to be gay was just as " normal" as being straight.So if you really want to get into that do your research, It's evident that man and women were made to pro-create but fact of the matter is we like beautiful things naturally So that attraction to the same sex came just as naturally .I don't believe that God, the Benevolent Being, Forgiver of all sins would Condemn us to firey pits of hell for the rest of our days for loving the same sex. Really.. think about it.
But anyway these are MY opinions and views
No one elses
From me to you

Church turns pop lyrics into a bit of brimstone
'Loving warning' about homosexuality isn't a hit with all who see it
Thursday, September 4, 2008 3:43 AM
By Kelly Lecker

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

TOM DODGEDispatch
The Rev. Dave Allison said the church's sign, which plays off the lyrics of a hit pop song, reflects the Scriptures' unambiguous stance on homosexuality.
I kissed a girl and I liked it.

Those lyrics have made Katy Perry's pop song a big hit on the radio.

But when a local church put the song lyrics on its marquee -- followed by the words then I went to hell -- some people got angry.

People driving by Havens Corners Church in Blacklick yesterday morning noticed the sign, aimed to warn people about what the church says is the sin of homosexuality.

"It's not something that is really a shock if you're a scriptural person," said the Rev. Dave Allison, pastor of the 100-member church at Havens Corners and Reynoldsburg-New Albany roads. "We meant that as a loving warning to teens. … The Scriptures tell us that you should not do what the song tells you to do. The Scriptures are not ambiguous on this issue. "

The song, which has topped the charts and become an international hit, is about a girl kissing another girl.

Allison said he has heard from people who, he said, either were not familiar with the song and didn't understand the cultural reference, or didn't understand the message.

Lynne Bowman, director of Equality Ohio, a gay and transgender advocacy group, said every church has a right to its beliefs. Havens Corners has made it clear to everyone who drives by that it is not a welcoming place that accepts all people, she said.

She noted that the church's vision, stated on its Web site, is to grow in membership. "Obviously they're making a statement as to how they don't want to do that," she said.

She said Equality Ohio has identified at least 300 churches in Ohio that welcome gay people looking for a church home. "That sign just tells them where they cannot go to find the love and faith in Christ," she said.

Wendy Olinski of Reynoldsburg got the message loud and clear. She heard about the sign from her neighbor, who had driven by the church, and she went to check it out for herself.

"It was obvious: 'If you're gay, you're going to hell.' At first I have to say I laughed hysterically because I was shocked," she said. "But that's going way too far. It's just rude. "

From me to you........

I miss her so much.One of my friends and fellow Blogger Mrs.Crooklyn Chronicles put me on to this particular song a little while ago . One night We had a long conversation about all the biases and difficulties we faced growing up as "dark skinned" females. All the complexes we developed because of our skin tone effected our decision making a lot and this song really spoke to both me and her hearts but more deeply our spirits.This song holds a very special place in my heart.Patrice shared this song with me and now i'll share it with you.

..:: Andre Benjamin ::..

Andre 3000 is one of the best dressed men in Hollywood and One of my all time favorite entertainers. He was once a part of famed Rap duo Outkast but moved on to do solo work. Since then he's made a name for himself in the acting world as well as in the world of " Fashion"and has recently launched his very Clothing line! It's called : Benjamin Bixby : and it's wonderful. It's like Andre has allowed us access to his very own wardrobe . I was wondering why he named it " Benjamin Bixby so I read a few articles and I found the reason in New York Magazine .It said:Benjamin Bixby, he says, “is a character who’s kind of like your uncle, or your granddad, and he has a closet full of experiences and clothes, and he’s been around the world.”
you can click on the link to read the entire article. His Clothing line Launch party was September 4th and was star studded. Charlize Theron,Genevieve Jones ,Simon Doonan ,Veronica Webb and Vivica Fox are just few of the celebs in attendance at his party in Barneys Ny on thursday. I wish him the best of luck with his new line.

Growing up I was a a huge fan of MGM movies and all those musicals that soon became Broadway plays or vice versa Always have been always will be. I have a few favorites and One of which is GUYS And DOLLS. One of the leading ladies was Adelaide a Chorus line girl who was in love with a gambling man( Frank Sinatra) who had lots of gambling friends that kept him in his gambling ways.As the story has it every time they'd save enough money to go get married he would go and gamble it all away. She grew sick and and sad and all of that gave way to one of my favorite Musical numbers.


She had the funniest voice and this another favorite Musical number that is burned in my memory from childhood.



After all was said and done though they got married Her ,Frankie and Marlon Brando and his girl. Have a look

While up this morning checking My e-mail one of the features were " Weirdly beautiful clouds" hovering over earths atmosphere.NASA "claims" it's just a natural phenomena but I beg to differ.They've been urging us to be more aware about our effect on the universe and I feel like these " Weirdly Beautiful clouds" are a direct result of our irresponsibility on earth. They've been telling us for years,I was watching "Boomerang" yesterday and it was mentioned...In 1992 they knew. As the worlds largest contributer to pollution Hands Down!We need to do our part to help prevent this situation from getting any worst,Everyone in America need to do they're part.There is so much information and EASY solutions available to us via The Internet these days. Websites are popping up left and right, If you watch Tv for an Hour you'll probably see at least 2 commercials informing you to BE GREEN and they always include a website.So think about recycling if you know you or your family Consume a lot of Juice and hence dispose of a lot of plastic bottles and Paper containers.There are countless other things that you can do to conserve energy and decreases the level of CO2's being emitted into the air.Just look
