After watching the debates last night, I was left with a knot in my stomach. I felt like Barack did well, but he could have shut McCain down, and didn't.
McCain said over and over'What Senator Obama doesn't get'... or 'just doesn't understand'so many times it was ridiculous, and Barack kept taking the high road and not addressing that shyt. It could have been a simple as saying, 'But what Senator McCain doesn't understand is that even if we shut down all 18 billion in discretionary spending, giving a tax break for 300 billion to the wealthiest like the big wigs on wallstreet would leave us with a 282 billion dollar whole bigger than the one we have now AND worse financial issues on wallstreet... Senator McCain just doesnt get that'... I mean, shyt like that could have SHUT HIM DOWWWWWN! And there were a zillion other opportunities for Barack to do the same thing, and put more nails in McCains coffin. He has to break this shyt down for the dumbest of dumb... and stop trying to illustrate his Harvard intellect... we've GOT that. You are smart! Now relate to the Punksatawny Community College drop out.But Barack kept espousing these long drawn out intellectual answers and that will NOT resonate with Dumb Azz Middle America... they will respond to McCain and his emotional responses, REGARDLESS of his lacking intellect.
We have two more debates... and I am hoping that people will advise him to break it down more and make it less verbose. This race should NOT be close, and it is... so Barack needs to change it up.
And he will because he is going to win. I am just putting that out into the universe. Barack Obama WILL be the next president.Barack Obama WILL be the next president.Barack Obama WILL be the next president.Nom-yo-ho-ren-gyeh-kyoh... Nom-yo-ho-ren-gyeh-kyoh... Nom-yo-ho-ren-gyeh-kyoooooooh...
Anyway, I saw the funniest video today. Its a Sarah Palin skit called... 'Head of Skate'. But while it is really funny, it is sadly a very real possibility if Barack doesn't start shutting McCain down... ENJOY!
Remember that post, Entertainment Drama, where I said I was in a theater production that was going up soon? I am not anymore.
More Drama... To sum up a long story... the theater production I was a part of was canceled... 3 weeks to opening date, after I endured FOUR MONTHS of drama. The writer/producer (whom I will call the cripple-foot queen) of the production decided that we (the actors) were not ready and it was our fault because we were not stepping up our game.
Now if this was indeed true, and we were at fault, I would have accepted the criticism and called it a day. But the situation we were in, was because of him. Among MANY other ludicrous things he did, he switched directors THREE times, and the last switch was two weeks ago, only 5 weeks before opening. And the new director changed up all the staging, so we basically had to re-learn the entire show.
I am drained. There were so many ghetto negroidian things going on that I don't even have the energy to recount them all. I cussed out the cripple-foot queen via email (because if I called or saw him in person, it would have gotten ugly) and I released it. I let it go. I can't deal with the negativity. It didn't work out, oh well... on to the next thing. If I think about my wasted time for the past 4 months I am liable to flip the fukk out and catch a case. So I will take it as a learning experience. I felt like this production and the cripple-foot queen were corny and bootleg from the start, but I second guessed myself.
If it walks like a corny bootleg cripple-foot queen, and talks like a corny bootleg cripple-foot queen... then it is a corny bootleg cripple-foot queen. I learned to trust my instincts.
In other news...
I have been thinking about my guest room issues... I still want to be able to put up my people if they come visit for a weekend or something... but I don't want it to be taken for granted. So, I have decided to change my guestroom into an office. I figure if there is no visible bed in there, it changes the energy of the room. And if I am really using it as an office, I will feel less guilt saying 'hell no' when people ask me to stay for extended periods. Check out this desk that I found. Its a desk with a hideaway bed.... what do you think? I love the function of it... but I am not sold on the design... if you guys know of anything similar, but better looking design-wise... holla at me.
The Republicans are messing up left and right. But I am glad cause I am tired of them, and want them to go away. First, I can't understand how a party that is based on traditional family values selects a woman who has a teenaged unwed pregnant daughter as their VP candidate... I don't get that. But their convention location just adds icing to the cake.
The democrats say that the Republican Convention was in the twin cities because it is a symbol of John Mccain being the same as George Bush since they voted alike 90% of the time... but... I think the real reason is for...
Gay Sex... lol
Did NO ONE in the ENTIRE Republican party realize that they were about to have their convention in the same city that one of its senators, Larry Craig, was busted for soliciting gay sex in the airport men's bathroom? Really? No. Really?
Well... I bet that bathroom was ROOOOOOCKIN the week of the convention. Walking by that airport men's room must have been like hearing the ghost of Sandman Sims, with all the foot-tapping going on in there...
Anyway... I was not the only person to see the coincidence of city choice... COMEDY CENTRAL did too... observe their skit below... its COOOOOOOOOOOMEDY!
Almost, anyway... you know I always got something to say. Ok... remember when there were rumors about Ciara being a dude? While I never thought she was a dude, now I am wondering if she is even a girl... maybe she is SEXLESS!
Where is her poom-poom? lol Like for real... I know Ciara grew a few curves since she has grown up some... but I don't remember Ciara's thighs and booty being that thick where it would hide her poom-poom in that position... And even the thickest of booties would reveal a poom-poom when the legs are pushed back that far... Is that photoshopped?
Ok... even with the anatomically ambiguous area... Is it me or is this cover still super erotic...? lol I mean, I never thought of Ciara 'that way' but I am kinda turned on looking at this... I never paid her much attention. First of all, because compared to me, she is like, 12. But second of all, I just was never pressed with her cause she is a twig. But this pic is kinda hot.
Ok... so I am a weirdo... lol But the whole punani mystery just makes you focus on her intimacies... and then you see the booty, and the smooth skin, and while its not seen, I KNOW the punani is there... and I kinda wanna see it now... lol
The secret is out. I am kind of a freak. But with her vagina-less Barbie Doll body, so is Ciara, so its a match made in heaven... LOL
UPDATE 9/7: Here is a video of Ciara discussing the Vibe cover. Basically, she just says, she is older now, more mature, and adventurous... so basically, 'The Goodies' that she was so earnestly protecting in her first album are no longer staying 'in the jar'... (In other words, she was always a ho... just wasn't old enough to express it before... lol) Just kidding... she is not a ho... just a vagina-less Barbie Doll... I stand by that one. lol
Usher recently announced that he is planning an intimate 15-city, Ladies-Only Tour to promote his latest album, Here I Stand.
"There's only a few artists that can pull that off," he said. "I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?"
Usher says he wants to prove that he is a family man AND a sex symbol. By having this tour called 'One Night Stand'...?
*blank stare*
This is stupid on soooooo many levels.
He is smelling himself too much and his record sales DON'T justify it. He is living off of past glory.
And the women only thing was attempted already by Tank, Tyrese and Ginuine, and it BOMBED miserably. When your records are not selling like they used to, you need to
collect EVERY dollar that people are willing to give to you, which
includes men.
Then there are the logistics... how is he going to restrict it to women? Ticketmaster does not screen by sex, and even if they did... how could you prevent folks from lying?
What about the fellas who aren't even Usher fans but who would take their girls to see him?
This is stupid and career suicide if it goes wrong. Too risky. A failed album AND a failed tour when you are trying to make a 'come back' would turn this into a cautionary tale of how NOT to become a 'has-been'.
Usher is becoming whacker by the day. He needs his momma to step back in and handle the bidness cause he is a dumbass.
Even though I have never been interested in seeing Usher live... I hate
being told I CAN'T do something... lol I still don't want to go... but
its about the PRINCIPALITIES SMOKEY!!! lol
I know its been eons since I have sat down to blog... but I just haven't felt motivated to write.
But another reason I havent been blogging much is because I have landed a lead role in an off-off broadway gospel theater production that is going up in September and October.
I have been in rehearsals for a couple months now, but I never mentioned it before this because, until now, I wasn't really feeling this production. It was kinda whack...The writer/producer is a new young writer, and kinda amateur-ish in how business is handled. The director was a nice guy, but kinda crazy... like need therapy or short hospital stay kinda crazy...and the stagemanager was sexually harrassing the women.
In addition to all that drama, the director was not good. He let us make up our own staging, and then edited what we did. In other words, he didnt direct us. It may seem cool at first since you have almost total freedom, but when you consider that there are 6 people on stage and everyone has their own idea of how the scene should go, and each wants to make their character stand out and shine... and it becomes total chaos.
I felt like I didn't know what the hell I was doing. The scenes looked random... it was so whack that I didn't even want my fam to come see it. Basically, I was only doing it to get some practice at my acting skills. And if something better came up, I would have taken it. Since I am just starting to professionally act, I need to get my practice where I can.
The initial drama came to a head when the director told us that he had considered suicide the week before... And that was the last straw, and the producer/writer of the show fired him... (a week after he fired the stage manager for following one of the actresses home...)
And that is when I learned what a difference a good director makes... Our new director was PHENOMENAL! The show looked great, I loved way the show was going and now I am ready to invite the world, and even agents to come and checking out my acting chops.
But... the drama doesn't stop.The writer/producer starts ego tripping and wanting to tell the new director how to do her job, she cussed him out, and he fired her. The young director/writer who is producing his third production, was telling a 30 year theater veteran that her scenes weren't theatrical enough... that she wasn't handling the actors right... blah blah blah... and now... we are back at square one.
I am so worn out, and drained from this whole thing... but I have invested so much time and energy into this that I dont want to pull out now. But I DONT want to go on stage and look whack in front of my fam and friends.
We have a new-new director... a month out from the opening... and I am really trying to hang on cause despite his inexperiene, the young writer/director means well. And the cast is all made up of all people trying to break into show bizness... so leaving at this point would fukk everyone over.
I just have a month left. And if this new director is good and the show continues where the last one left off... I will tell you guys so you can come see it. If not... you won't hear a dayum thing about it... lol
Entertainment is DRAMA... both on and off the stage and screen... I guess I am paying my dues.
Anyway... since it has been forever since I have blogged, I will mention other randomness...
I LOVE... LOVE LOVE LUH-HUH-HOVE... the Tide Talking Stain commercial... It's one of the funniest commercials ever. When the stain starts screaming in the end, I laugh hysterically every time I see it... If you havent seen it... check it below. TOO FUNNY!
Also, I am loving Solange. I was hearing leaked tracks over the last year and was telling folks that they are sleeping on Solange, but no one wanted pay me any mind... But now she is coming up, and peeps are jumping on the bandwagon... She will make it out of Beyonce's shadow yet... just watch.
In other randomnes... I truly feel that this whole retro 80's crap is out of hand... I HAVE SEEN FIVE PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 30 WITH JHERI CURLS!!!
Who knew that they still make Jheri Curl Products?!? In 1984, 5 people with Jheri Curls may not seem like a lot, given the millions of people living in New York. But in 2008... that is a ridiculously large number! Where the hell are they buying the relaxer? Where do they buy the activator? What hairdresser even offers such services? Are they doing it themselves? So many questions... I am so confused. I just truly hope that does NOT catch on. In 1984... Jheri Curl was the bomb. In 2008... not so much. Boo.
SEKSHUL CHOKLATE!!! He sing so lovely don't you think?
Or should I say 'the top' in his relationship...lol Aight, I clowned about Omarion and Bow wow being kinda Baby and Lil' Wayne-esque in previous posts... but I just saw a clip on my homegirl's blog 'theybf.com' where Bow wow defends Omarion's honor. It was already a funny clip because Toure' is asking Omarion stupid questions like, 'do you steal moves from Chris Brown? He's dope.' Or when he asked him about doing the 'Naked' video when it was clearly Marques Houston. But what really made me giggle was when Bow wow flipped the fukk out and was shouting for Toure to step to him as he hid behind his two bodyguards... like... HOLD ME BACK!! HOLD ME BACK!!! lolololololol THAT SHYT WAS COOOOOOMEDY! lol
My homegirl C-Murder defends them to the hilt. So I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt despite the pictures below of 'O' looking more like 'OH DIANE!' or Noah from 'Noah's Arc' between the hair and that neck scarf... But Bow wow getting all bent out of shape for Omarion's honor was just too excessive, and Omarion's just following behind like the obediant girlfriend is not making me believe in their platonic relationship. I have heard of having your boy'z back, but most str8 dudes would be like ' You gon' let him clown you like that?' and let the dude man up for himself. They don't make them look like a damsel in distress... or maybe Omarion is gay, and bow wow is straight, but knows about Omarion, and is mad protective of his gay homey... which might have been plausible IF he didnt run and hide behind his two bodyguards and act like they were holding him back like a punk. After that bullshyt he lost all thug points, if you can indeed have any when you are only 4 ft negative 2, and weigh 85 pounds.
It doesn't matter either way. And sincerely I dont really care. I am just clowning ... but if either of them show up with a tattoo of the other... I am going to start sending them china pattern suggestions.
If you would like to see the video for yourself... check it out below.
Ummm... I need to know what the hell is making modern day celebs and entertainers so da dayum tired. Everyone from Kelly Rowland to now Bow wow has succumbed to fatique and exhaustion. And I just dont get it.
Have any of yall ever seen a tape of Tina Turner performing? Now if she can perform rolling on a river with a fifty pound wig of horse hair on her head, AAAAAND withstand getting her azz beat like she stole something every night, and NEVER have to go to a hospital for exhaustion (except after giving BIRTH), NONE of these new artist or performers have an excuse.
Modern day performers are wusses... They need to take some dayum multi vitamins or something. I just feel like people today make everything an emergency these days. And usually, its so unnecessary. I also feel like its all publicity stunts to keep names in the news when the buzz dies down. Kelly and Lil Bow wow were on tour when they had their bouts with exhaustion. And I bet that ticket sales were lagging at the time of each break down... I know its supposed to be the frantic tour schedule that causes the collapses, but people have been doing much more hectic tours and much more tiresome shows for years and pulling through it. Hell, look at the late great James Brown. Remember how much sliding and splitting and everything else he did during his shows? And he was doing that shyt WELL into his AARP years without any exhaustion incidents.
Normally when people go the hospital, I would say get better soon, if I believed any of the hype... but since I don't, I will just say... Booo to Lil Bow wow, grow some freakin' balls and suck it up. And that goes for the girls too. But especially Lil Bow wow cause that nigga don't even dance in his show. Double boooooo!
I must say that I have been very fortunate to know a few industry folks (just a few) that can get me into cool events.
On Saturday, my homeboy brought me along to a cool Thurgood Marshall Scholarship fundraising event and was seated right behind FarnsworthBentley and his wife (*sidenote* yes, his wife?!? lol He is married to actress Faune Chambers, the suspicious girlfriend in the Wayans brothers movie, White Chicks. I know, I thought he was gay too. Not that you can't be gay and have a wife too, and but since I have never seen him fellating anyone, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. But I will say that prancing around in a video with a great big pink and green sorority umbrella and allowing yourself to be referred to as another grown azz man's 'man-servant' IS as close to sucking a dick as you can get without actually doing it... lol *but I digress*)
While I was there I also met barrier breaking black model Beverly Johnson, who doesnt look a day over 28... I kid you not. That heffa is my momma's age and she looks like she is younger than me! I mean, yeah, black don't crack, but that shyt was ridiculous. (I think she is a vampire. No. Really.) I was a little awestruck at first but I kept my cool. She was very sweet and gracious taking pictures with fans. Unfortunately, I lost my camera a couple weeks ago, so I wasnt one of them.
Then last week I was in LA with one of my other homeboys where I met Laurenz Tate (He is super tiny in person, and looks young enough to be carded... lol Does ANYONE in hollywood age? lol) And Hosea Chanchez (Malik from the show 'The Game' on CW) and a few other folks.
The week prior to that, I was hanging with another of my friends at a Tavis Smiley event and met Judith Jameson, Terry McMillan, Ruby Dee, Iyanla Vanzant and a few other folks...
And while this sounds all fabulous and grand... its sooooooo nothing to brag about. If you notice, preceding every grand story, I say, someone BROUGHT me along. I was only the PLUS ONE at all of these events. Plus One land doesn't totally suck... you get the open bars at most of
these events. And once you are inside and have your own VIP bracelet,
you are just as VIP as anyone else. And while its great to get to go to some of these functions and meet peeps you admire... WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER to actually be invited? Can I please step up to a velvet rope and say MY OWN name and have THAT checked off for a change?
I am soooooo tired of being the 'and guest'. First of all, most of the time, peeps who get invited to these things first think to invite other 'regulars', or people they normally hang out with at these things. It's only if those peeps already have an invite themselves (usually the case) or if those peeps can't make it for some reason that they go to the b-list of folks who wouldn't have their own invites. Thats my category, so by the time I get the invites... its last minute. I literally got a call about a Playboy industries party FROM THE PARTY a couple weeks ago. My boy called me up like... 'yo, this shyt is hot! I am hanging out with Megan Goode. You should come', as if I was sitting at home dressed waiting for a call to just run out and party.
Shyt like that drives me crazy. But... you know my black azz showered shaved, picked out gear, ironed and got from the high 140's to lower manhattan in under 40 minutes... lol WHY? Because until I network enough to make a name for myself or land a good gig, I gotta do what I gotta do to make it out of PLUS ONE land.
So until I get my own star on the walk of fame... my black azz will have outfits on standby, and my electric shaver plugged in my bathroom. The life of the plus one is being in the army reserve, you never know when you will be called to action, but you must always be ready.
What the hell is wrong with Kanye West? Did you guys see his tirade backstage after he lost? If not, check it out below.
Kanye is the worst loser I have ever known in my entire life. I mean, dayum, you lost. Get over it. You are an international celebrity. You have sold millions of albums. So the fukk what if you dont win a 'moonman'?
I am certain that Kanye was the kid in his hood who was forever screaming 'Do Over! Do Over! I wasn't ready...' or 'That's not fair, he cheated' or anything else you can think of to represent the sore loser who had an excuse for everything that didnt go his way. He was that little kid in the grocery store that was throwing himself on the floor because his mom wouldnt buy him a candybar that we all wanted to STOMP right there on the floor, then smack him again to 'give him something to cry about.'
Ya'll know I was never really a fan of Kanye and his mouth and his opinions about everything (see this post) But just when I start to appreciate Kanye's 'say whatever the fukk he wants' nature, he flips out and reminds me of why I want him to SHUT THE FUKK UP!
For being a sore azz loser and sounding like he is getting ready to cry cause he lost a stupid MTV award, Kanye has earned yet another BEAT DOWN I.O.U. Cause he needs his azz beat for that bullshyt. Man up and deal with it. I want to slap him AND his momma... cause she ain't raise him right! lol
