Since it's Halloween, I thought that it would be fun to post a scary weekend movie. My movie choice for the week is Nightmare on Elm Street 1. I was 6 years old when I first saw this movie. My granddaddy use to let me stay up late and watch scary movies. lol. I use to be scared out of my mind and have the craziest nightmares, but I still love a good scary movie. HAHA, I still remember the theme song. Do you remember???
Nearly 9 months after the horrible fight between Chris Brown and Rihanna, she is ready to tell her story. Rihanna will be on 2020 and tell her side of the story. I'm not sure who will interview her, but I hope that it's Diane Sawyer. What do you think she'll talk about??? I just hope that she's honest. Watch a clip below.
I've never taken the flu shot.
1. I don't see the point
2. I keep hearing too many stories of horrible side effects
I really don't understand why so many people rush to the doctor all for the sake of a "flu shot." When you take the shot does it guarantee that an individual won't catch the flu? Doubt it!
Well, until someone can convince me otherwise, I'm good! Here's a clip below of a cheerleader who had a promising future. 10 days after taking the flu shot she developed Dystonia Disease... watch below.
Last night Kandi of RHWA performed on the Mo'Nique show and it truly was a great performance. It was great seeing that she was doing and looking well after the tragic loss of her fiancee. She sat down with Mo on the couch and then took to the stage to perform her soon to be hit, "I fly above." I've been a Kandi fan since she first appeared in the group Xscape. As a matter of fact, the second concert that I ever went to was an Xscape concert. I love this song, and everyone should make it their anthem. Kandi is showing the world that she can fly above and overcome obstacles. Watch below:
In honor of Halloween, I thought that it would be fun to post a throwback picture of me. Haha. I was 20 years old and decided to dress up as Foxy Cleopatra (well, it was my interpretation). I absolutely loved this costume, because I put it together myself. I love being creative! I'm not certain what I'll be this year or if I'll even dress up, but I'll keep you posted.
Do you have a favorite costume??? And, what are you going to be for Halloween?
Rich and Trisha dated off and on for 10 years, but after a bad break up they decided to go their separate ways. A year later, they ran into each other at a grocery store. Rich declared his love for Trisha and admitted that he wanted her back, but it was too late. When Trisha told Rich that she wanted to be platonic friends he had no choice but to agree. They remained friends, talked on the phone for hours, and occasionally committed the biggest mistake Ex's make hanky panky reminiscing at the past.
Trisha thought to herself, "maybe, I'm giving him a hard time...a second chance isn't so bad." However, what Trisha didn't realize was that like so many others before him, he was playing her. One raining night while they were engaging in their "conversation" Rich told her that he had a girlfriend. "You know, I've been talking to someone, right?" "No, I didn't know that, how would I have known?" she asked in a shaky voice. He continued, "Well, I thought we were broken up, but turns out we've been together all along." Trisha was devastated. She cried her eyes out for nearly four hours. She wasn't upset that he had moved on, but hurt, because she thought there was a possibility to rekindle. Trisha felt the ultimate betrayal, again! She called him on the phone. "Hello," he answered. "Hey... I don't think it's a good idea if we talk, I want you out of my life," she said. "What, are you serious?," he asked. But, Trisha was serious. In fact, it was the first time that she told him NO and to kiss her ass. She felt empowered!
A few months passed and Trisha was convinced that Rich was out of her system; however, she forgot that his best friend was on her social network site. Trisha was shocked when her ex Rich and his "girlfriend" popped up in a picture. "What the Hell!" she said. "Why am I still being reminded?" As Trisha cried her eyes out, she did something that should have been done a longtime ago. She deleted his best friend, and everything that reminded her of him--there could be no more reminders. As she deleted the memories away, she said aloud "F#c% Rich and all the other Rich's." At that point Trisha knew she was ready to move on.
Did you watch Dancing with The Stars last night? I really feel like Mya was robbed last night. I thought she did great and I didn't agree with Carrie Ann Inaba's critism, but that's just my opinion. Also, I felt like Mya did a much better job during the group competition over Derek's partner (O, what's her name!) Mya actually was dancing on her own and Derek's partner was carried all the way through. She had NO rhythm and she was stiff. Derek was so determined to win being a competitive prick being the fierce competitor that he is and seriously dragged her. Did anyone see that???
I'm uncertain what to think of this, but did anyone watch 60 Minutes??? Allegedly, writer/director Spike Lee referred to Tyler Perry shows as buffoonery and coonery. Perry was "pissed" and responded. I've never seen his television shows, so I can't really respond; however, a lot of people LOVE his shows. Watch the clip below.
I'm confused...
But, what else is knew. People confuse me with their off behavior. So, I went to the movies a while back with a platonic guy friend. I'll admit, I was intoxicated and pretty much out of it. Well, I started to get tired and I couldn't stop myself and fell asleep. My friend was upset, but never expressed it to me, I could just sense it.
Months went by and not a word from him, so I decided to call after the 100th time of my messages being ignored. Bottom line, he was upset but refused to say why. I bluntly asked "do you like me?" I figured, what the hell else could it be, right?" He said, "I think that you're a beautiful girl, but I see you as a friend." Ok, cool, we're on the same page, but why did you ignore me for two months??? Was it that deep? Just curious!
I got no explanation...
What do you think, was I totally in the wrong?
[Side Note] I apologized immediately after the incident but he was still pretty upset with me.
A while back me and one of my friends decided to grill food and drink wine. Well, I came across this Spanish wine... (CONFESSION) I love anything Spanish and anything Italian. The wine is called Tapeña Tempranillo and it's great red wine. Here's a picture below of our food before we grilled.
What's your favorite thing to grill??? And, your favorite wine???
I was watching an interview Tameka Foster Raymond did with ATL V-103 and she seems a little delusional. I've never been married, so I don't know what it's like going through a messy divorce, but she's a royal mess. Why is she still referring to Usher as her boyfriend? Did she get the memo that he filed "dem paper?" LOL. Apparently not!!! watch as she still refers to Usher as her husband. I know the divorce hasn't been finalized, but I need her to focus and get it together--"the man doesn't want you..." please move on!
No one ever said that being 20 something and single was easing...
At least, I keep trying to remind myself of this. Dating is difficult because you have so many expectations and not all of them are always met. Has anyone ever read the book, "The Rules?" Well, sometimes I find myself wanting to live up to my high school years of "The Rules." I actually think that I need to re-read that book.
I keep hearing from several people that we only have so many years to find a man before it's too late. Is this true? Whoever made up this rule??? And, most importantly isn't it a little outrageous? I mean, there's a soul mate for everyone, right?
I remember being a kid and watching talk shows and listening to radio, and men dominated the circuits. Now, I turn on the television and so many women are talk show host, radio host, and producing shows. It's really empowering to see that women are taking charge and having a voice.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I just wanted to send out a a little note. Many antiperspirant deodorants and deodorants contain Aluminum. Aluminum is now being researched as one possible causes of Breast Cancer.
Here is a snippet I found from Cancer.gov regarding aluminum and the breast:
What do scientists know about the ingredients in antiperspirants and deodorants?
Aluminum-based compounds are used as the active ingredient in antiperspirants. These compounds form a temporary plug within the sweat duct that stops the flow of sweat to the skin's surface. Some research suggests that aluminum-based compounds, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and cause estrogen-like (hormonal) effects (3). Because estrogen has the ability to promote the growth of breast cancer cells, some scientists have suggested that the aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants may contribute to the development of breast cancer (3).
For many years, I have been misinformed regarding deodorant. I was told that you need a fragrance-based deodorant and an antiperspirant if you sweat often. Well, it's just not true. I found a deodorant that is fragrance free, aluminum free, paraben free (which has also been found in women with breast cancer), and hypoallergenic. I promise you that I have not had any odors, unnecessary sweat, or irritation since using this deodorant. It's called Crystal Deodorant and made with mineral salt. The deodorant can be purchased at Walmart or any health food store. You can read more about Crystal Deodorant at www.thecrystal.com.
Please pass this information on to any woman you know
People make such a big deal about sex. I know so many people that are having sex but are
1. not enjoying it
2. can't receive an orgasm
3. are trying to please a man
4. sleeping with different men weekly
it's so ridic because at that rate a woman will probably have slept with over 10 men, unsatisfied, and still HAVE NOT reached an orgasm. What's the big deal about sex? Sure, it feels great and in that passion both people feel closer and more connected, but in the words of Bill Cosby "Come on People."
Don't get me wrong, I am not telling people to not have sex... I'd never do that! Sex is great and feels great!
But, I want us 20 something or 30 something women to really start looking at the person or people that we're sleeping with... are they worth it??? I just feel that this is the negative part of being a single woman. It's difficult to find men to sleep with that don't or won't cause drama in our lives. Another issue, if we do find a man to sleep with he's probably married, has a chick or few on the side or he's completely selfish. Not too many to chose from.
{Side note} What's up with all the married men getting at single girls? Seriously, if I have one more married man (wearing his ring) approach me, I'm going to title my next book, "I may be fly, but I don't allow married men to feel on my behind."
Get a grip!
If you sleep with someone and you're single there's a crap load of baggage (if you're not in a serious relationship). Don't believe me??? If you're single think of the person you last slept with that wasn't your BF. Did he make you feel exceptional? (and not just after the act), did he call you on time? You get my drift.
Why aren't women taught at an early age about control over our own bodies??? I know I'm ranting but an event today made me think about this (details in future blog).
