U say Resolute, I say Absolut...

Ok so it's that time of year again when people start to spew out their "New Year's Resolutions"....oh joy (insert sarcasm). Why do people torture themselves and waste their time every single December conjuring up ways to 'resolve' their lives? I mean really....
Why not resolve, evolve & get involved all year? That's too much like right huh? STOP lying to yourselves! Every year we claim to ditch old friends & gain new friends only to look around to find we have the same friends we started with from jump. Yeah, that's five minutes of brain cells lost. Then we claim to be on a mission to "drop the poundage" & eat more healthy only to overcrowd the gym the first 3 weeks in January & develop road rage @ the drive-thru at McDonald's by March. And then we try to hide at that same drive-thru with hats and sunglasses in tow in fear that someone will see us NOT keeping our New Year's Resolution.
Some of us even attempt to resolve our dissolved relationships with our loved ones. Yeah right! Once you've allowed a relationship to DISSOLVE throughout the year how do you get it back? That's like trying to solidify an alka seltzer AFTER you've dropped it in water or in my case ABSOLUT. It's merely impossible. Now I won't be too negative because anything is possible, things change and yada yada yada plus a blah..I know this but does it really take all year for you to figure out that you're in a relationship by your-damn-self? Hell No! Whether it's with a mate, a neighbor or your CHILDREN, value that relationship to the fullest for you may bring in the New Year with that person but one of you may not see your way out of it.
Which brings me to my next unnecessary issue...what the fuck is "It's complicated" as a relationship status?! In the words of my ex (MVSP)...ARE YOU SHITTIN' ME! That right there tells your dumb ass that there needs to be some type of resolution TODAY! Not in January but to-damn-day! You are either in the relationship equally and agreeably or you're not! PERIOD POINT BLANK! I can't believe this is even considered a relationship status. So, you mean to tell me that you wanna be involved in something 'complicated'? You're proud of that? If you do then you deserve every ounce of disharmony you get!
Let's not talk about the ones who 'resolve' to change their attitude @ the jump of the New Year when they are like 45 years old (insert MVSP quote here)! You are now set in your ways you moron! Don't wait until you have damn near one foot in the grave before you decide to be a 'better person'. Who the fuck does that....beside YOU of course? Attitude adjustments take time and maybe a whole lotta money if you go to the right therapist but it can happen WITH TIME not overnight, especially NOT 31st Dec night because your ass will be drunk and lose focus anyway. Please don't THINK and DRIVE. Oh and please don't forget the ones who make a vow to be all "about me" in 2010. Well, who the hell has it been about for the past 365 days? You should ALWAYS be your number one priority! No one is gonna take care of you but YOU. Not your boyfriend, cousin, BFFs, daddy,mama,babymama or baby daddy, pet snake, dog or President OBAMA but YOU! Who can do it better? If someone can take care of me betta then ME then damnit here is my life. Take it and do as you wish with it because I obviously don't need it since I don't know what to do with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah don't sit there and claim you've neglected you only to take care of others (insert Sunshine Anderson's only hit here). That's YOUR fault! I've neglected myself before for the sake of friends, boyfriends, family or complete strangers only to be mad at ME at the end of the day. Nobody told me to neglect me. My body & mind was telling me to take care of it when I was crying myself to sleep or when I was getting 2 emotional about bullshit or getting headaches or when I didn't have a dime in my pocket, a pot to piss in or a window to pour it out of (well it never got to the no pot to piss in part but you get the gist of what I'm saying) but I didn't take heed. I can't blame him, her or them...I blame me. STFU and take a stand for YOU! Some people make this vow knowing full well it's always been about them all along. Stop the madness. You know who you are. You should make a resolution to stop being freaking selfish possibly.

Ok Ok Ok enough with the venting right about now. I just had to get that shit off my breast, I mean chest. Resolve to Evolve now...it takes less time. Til next time yall...*now where's my bottle of ABSOLUT?*

Champagne Taste, Beer Money

Ok this has been brought to my attention again...the question that keeps lingering in my fabulous lil' head for sometime now....what is with people living beyond their freaking means!? That shit is so ridiculous and so...well....PLAYED!
For-freaking-instance, why would you go a purchase a brand new, top of the line BMW convertable knowing full damn well you can't afford it? When I say afford, I don't mean you can pay the car note every month. I mean you don't have to save a few paychecks to afford the repairs on the shit or you don't have to limit your driving to keep from paying for the damn gas and check this.....all while still living witcho Mama! Come on now! And why, oh why, would your car payment be more expensive then your domicile? Your car maybe 80Gs but your refrigerator is filled with Top Ramen....and you don't even LIKE noodles! Can you say champagne taste with beer money? Yeah I'll just betchu' can...

If I Only Had A Brain....

Ya know,
I really hate it when one jumps on the mental bandwagon of others instead of thinking for themselves. Case in point, Tyra "Bankable" Banks made the announcement yesterday (I think) to cancel her show and the world went in an uproar claiming she's biting off the one and only Oprah Winfrey. One person come up with this illogical solution and others followed suit instead of saying...hmmm lemme think about this for a second. Why on earth would TyTy cancel her show just to be like Oprah? What will she gain from doing this? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! She's missing out on some serious loot first of all. I mean who does that just to portray someone else? I know I don't especially considering the fact that we are in a recession! Did it ever occur to anyone that it maybe for contractual reasons that the show is being canceled or maybe the ratings aren't as good as we thought? Maybe another network is picking up the show? They're acting like Tyra owns the network and she actually calls the shots on it's syndication! WRONG! Think for your-damn-selves people! I know it's easier to just jump on the bandwagon since it takes less operation of brain cells but trust me, it's more rewarding to come up with your own thoughts....you can back your own shit up better than someone else's. Damn!

How is Charlie Sheen getting a pass for being an ass?

Ok so I relly, really, really need to know what the hell is wrong with Charlie Sheen & his obsession with domestic violence against women?! Speak up Rihanna since u got an award for this type of community service

*crickets sounding off*

This crap is ridiculous! I am really not seeing how his ass is continously getting a pass for his tom-foolery yet po' lil Chris Brown is not getting his album sold in certain stores. He acts a donkey once & will be punished for an eternity yet Charlie still books tv shows, mag shoots and all of the other gifts Hollyweird can wrap up in a bow for him.

"US" in the community....

A couple of my friends and I decided to go and volunteer at the L.A. FoodBank again Saturday morning and boy was it hard work. Yall know the Empress is allergic to manual labor! lol but when it comes to helping others I take my anti-allergy pill. We got the assembly line going, pulled up our sleeves and got to packing cereal, juice, chicken, and whatever else the other end of the line was packing. We packed 2418 of 35 pound crates for the homeless and elderly. There were so many volunteers from the company of Raytheon to High School kids to our little crew of 7 people. It had to be about 500 volunteers there. This warmed the heart of the Empress. I got all bubbly inside but you know what? Something pissed me off! As I looked around I saw so many Asians, Caucasians, Indians and A-rabs but what boiled my bubble was the fact that I could count all the black volunteers on ONE little French-manicured hand! Now yall know that don't make NO sense! Where are we at? Why can't we get involved in a community as a whole? Would I have saw more black folk if it was the Black L.A. Foodbank? I wonder...
Why can't we help each other out as well as ourselves? Yeah I know what someone will say; charity begins at home meaning the black community. But doesn't the whole community consist of our HOME? Now if they were giving away free food or t-shirts or bootleg cds we would have been knee deep into those crates now wouldn't we? If Kanye', Diddy, Alicia Keys or Beyaki were there or maybe even Brit-Brit showing her drawls a lot of us would have been there as well with camera in hand. I say we because I am apart of the black community, too. Its seeming to me that some of us have that "if I ain't gettin' shit, I ain't doing shit" attitude and that's not the way to be folks. And we wonder why no one is pitching in to help our community out. Shit, even worse we ain't helping our own community out either but that's another blog. So what u aint gettin' shit. Just the fact that you helped someone else get ahead a little should make you feel all fuzzy inside. I know I do. Oh my fault... Is it that we don't want others to get ahead...of us? It stupid and its corny and a downright disgrace! Man, some of you people make me wanna trade my race in for another one sometimes. You ever heard of "I'll scratch your back, you scratch mines"? Well gotdamnit go scratch someone's back and I'll personally be there to scratch yours. If you wanna be somebody and if you wanna go somewhere u gotta wake up and pay attention. U gotta get up, get out and do something shit. Please get more involved. Even if its picking up a McDonald's cup on the street that someone pitched or buy a less fortunate child a toy. We have gotta get more involved. Now get out and 'communitize' (my definition for socializing/helping the community) or get the hell offa my friend's list! I don't associate with selfish ass Bamas!

Damn U Tyra Banks!

Ok yall I have 2 say 1 mo' thang. I'm so mad @ Tyra 4 introducing the rest of the world 2 the word FIERCE! It is overly & improperly used! A shiek on a camel's back is NOT Fierce, a tight ass lace-front wig is NOT fierce, a man using the word "HUN" gay or str8 is NOT fierce, every 1 that walks a runway mean mugging and scaring the audience is NOT fierce & a golden toilet in Oprah's bathroom is NOT fierce! Its a toilet for crying out loud! Stop using the word to refer to EVERYTHING unless ur referring 2 me or Grace Jones of course! ha! Please & Thank U!

Oh wait, one mo' thang. Is it ok to take your pain pill with like..say....a swig of Nuevo? What?! Well, that's the only thing I have to wash it down so don't judge me! ha!
