Greetings Earthlings. Come on in, take off Ur cool and stay for a while. I am a St. Louis-based editor, freelance writer. One day I hope to conquer the world with my writing. In the meantime, I'll settle for the world-wide web. Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to post a comment and sign my guestbook!
It's Friday, Dec. 14/07, 10:24AM. I see you've been here; no one can post comments to your entries. 
I hope you're okay...

It's Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2007, 7:42AM. Just popping by to see what's new. Hope you had a great birthday. 
Have a great day - hope to see you soon. 
!This blogging stuff is great! I'm hooked. Every morning, it's eggs, bacon, and Post. Keep up the good work. Today is Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, 8:58am. I'm just dropping by to wish you a great day, and to let you know Manic Monday is up. You just have to make the top banners and your pictures smaller; the pumpkin banner crosses right into the Tag Board, and the pic of the boys on the field pushes way past your borders, which stretches out the whole page. I think you look cute as Little Red Riding Hood, though. I'll bet the hubby liked it, too! Just popping in to wish you a great Monday. Drop on by and check out today's Manic Monday edition - I think you'll get quite a laugh out of it! 
The cardinals turned in their winning streak for a losing streak. Can they still make it to the playoffs. Well baseball is back on again tonight and the Cards play the Reds, of course they need to spank dat azz. Also, we need the Pirates to beat the Brewers and the Astros to beat the Cubs. All of these matchups are tonight. So send the cards some fan power by turning on the game. Even if you aren’t going to watch it, turn it on in the back bedroom. Today at work, ask people if they are going to watch the game. Just keep it buzzing. Don’t underestimate the influence of fan-power!

Not that this surprises me because I cannot stand Gov. Matt Blunt, but now I can’t stand his Chief of Staff either. Apparently Hispanic leaders are calling for the removal of Blunt’s aid, Ed Martin, after making a racially charged comment last month during a MO Housing Development Commision meeting. He was quoted saying if there’s a bunch of Mexican’s on a work site, some are probably illegal immigrant laborers. So tacky! Well of course Blunt’s pecan-head azz is standing behind Martin, stating there was no intention to offend anyone. First of all, when did it become an issue of intention? It’s always about reception. In your position you need to think before you open your pie-hole (ass my sister’s co-worker’s daughter loves to say). That’s like saying if there are a bunch of black dudes standing around in white t-shirts, some are probably gang members or drug dealers. Stop making assumptions because in the end you only make an azz out of yourself. Speaking of azz, instead of being slick in the mouth get up off that azz and do some work! I can’t wait until election time rolls around. These fools gotta go!
I didn’t b/c I was knee deep in manuscript pages. But I’ve heard about it so much, that I felt like I watched it. First off, I wasn’t surprised to hear that Kanye threw another temper tantrum b/c he didn’t win any of the 5 categories he was nominated for. He is a big mama’s boy, but I still love his music. He was quoted as saying, “That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance. I'm trying hard man, I have the ... number one record, man." He also declared that he will never return to MTV again. It’s all fakery, I’m sure. Y’all know Kanye, he is always going to show his azz, especially right before his album drops. You know what they say in “the business” any publicity is good publicity.
As for Brittney, why is everybody riding this chic? I saw the video clip and she definitely looked like she wasn’t in the moment as far as her lip synching and her dance moves. A friend of mine said she looked as if she was on Valium or Vicodin. Now what I can’t stand, is all the people who have negative comments about her body and how it’s not rock hard like it used to be. Well, she does have two kids right? I think she looks dayum good. There was nothing wrong with her body and I’m posting a pic just to prove it. What do you think? And speaking of bodies, did y’all see Timberland, what the hell kind of workout plan is he on, good lord!
Justin Timberlake won the most awards for the night. He took home four awards, including male artist of the year. Apparently the cast of the reality t.v. show, The Hills introduced this category, and when J.T. went up to get his award (there are usually a quick exchange of niceties) but he didn’t even acknowledge the cast. And he went on to say in his acceptance speech, I challenge MTV to play more music videos (directly jabbing at all the reality t.v. shows) so the cast from The Hills was standing there looking like a pack of deer in headlights. J.T. also added “nobody wants to see the Simpsons on reality t.v. (referring to Jessica and Ashley simpson…CLASSIC). But my question is this, J.T., how do you think trained professional actors feel about you hitting the big screen. Can you say, Alpha Dog, The Love Guru, Shrek, Black Snake Moan, etc. The Emmy’s are coming up, and J.T. won an Emmy this year. What if during that broadcast, actors start shouting, “I challenge you to stop hiring singers as actors, nobody wants to see the boy-bander gone tinsel town.” J.T. this is when you say, touche’
Beyonce and Shakira won an award for the most earthshattering collaboration for their hit, “Beautiful Liar.” Apparently Beyonce is determined to have another wardrobe malfunction. It was reported that her dress was barely holding down the ta-ta’s, again! Dayum, girl! What did Big Boi say in Idlewild? “Baby don’t show so much so soon. Leave a lil’ sumthin for the imagination.”
The most notable performance was Chris Brown, who continues to get compared to Micheal Jackson (I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing). Alisha Keys, also performed a rendition of Freedom and it was marvelous. I love Alisha Keys, I always have. She has this style and grace and it all comes together to make this great package. You go girl!
I know you all heard about the white-on-white violence (as Jamie Foxx put it) at the VMAs. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock got into a fight. Apparently Tommy Lee kept ‘effin with Kid Rock until eventually Kid couldn’t take it any more and backhanded his azz. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock are both ex-husbands of Pam Anderson, who was a presenter at the awards show. According to MTV veejay, Sway, Kid Rock seemed to be ignoring him, who was sitting about two tables away. But Tommy kept antagonizing him. Kid Rock was able to stay for the rest of the show. Tommy Lee was dragged out (literally).

Today is the release two highly anticipated albums. 50 Cent’s Curtis and Kanye West’s Graduation. 50 Cent challenged Kanye West to appear on 106 & Park today. 106 & Park is a live show which airs on BET. Kanye accepted the challenge and a battle will take place today during the show. 50 will perform hits from Curtis and Kanye will perform songs from Graduation. Stew (ESPN’s Stuart Scott–u know black dude with the eye– will give sports-like commentary during the battle to see who will reign supreme.
It was reported that the rappers were quoted saying the following:
Kanye West: "How could I not come to 106 & PARK on the day my album comes out? I'm definitely coming"
50 Cent: "Just make sure that Kanye West shows up."
No Love Today?
So Isaiah Thomas, who is famous, to me, from his days as a Detroit Piston is currently the coach for the New York Knicks. But all is not faaaan-tastic in NBA-land for Thomas. He is being sued for $10 million dollars over sexual harassment charges. An ex-marketing executive, Anucha Brown Sanders, was fired from the Knicks and she wants somebody to pay. The Knicks say she was fired b/c she wasn’t doing her job. Well she says Isiah Thomas has tried to lure her away from the office. He has told her he loved her. Now Thomas has admitted to trying to kiss her on the cheek and when she drew back, he said “No love today?” (which I think is stupid b/c that alone validates her suite. What if she didn’t want your crusty soup-coolers on her, but felt intimidated since you were her boss.) According to BET.com, Stephon Marbury and Malik Rose might be called as witnesses. Like I said earlier about the Gov. Matt Blunt situation, it is never intention, always reception.
President C.D. "Dan" Mote Jr. said, "The possibility that this act appears intended to bring to mind the horrific crime of lynching, which is such a terrible and tragic part of our nation's past, is particularly abhorrent."
As a black person, I would never feel “intimidated” if I were to see a noose hanging from a tree. I would feel insulted, angry, and outraged. But not intimidated. The real crime here, is we live in a society that does not teach the true history of this nation. And knowledge is power. I learned everything I know regarding slavery, KKK, genocide, the raping, killing, shackling, lynching, etc. of black women, men and children from home, from the library, from my elders, but never from school. Except a paragraph or two that made it to textbooks during black history month. I guarantee you the kids who hung this noose next to of all place (a black culture center) have never seen a dead child hanging from a tree next to her mother. They have never seen hundreds of white people gathering at dawn with popcorn and soda preparing trying to get the best spot so they get a good view of the night’s entertainment, another N-word is getting lynched tonight. We don’t teach these kids what is real, and then still expect them to get it. You trivialized lynching, you trivialized oppression, you trivialized slavery, by omitting it from your history books. And that’s my minor rant…I could really get into this. I haven’t even talked about
If you want to hear about Jena 6 and Jena High School’s “all white tree” then just google Jena 6. I’m sure you have heard about it now, unless you live under a rock. But just in case you haven’t. Do your homework and look it up.
25 year-old Buffalo Bills tight end, Kevin Everett injured his spine on a kickoff against the Denver Broncos. After surgery, there is a good chance he will never walk again.
After a helmet-to-helmet crashing hit against Denver’s Domenik Hixon, during the second-half’s opening kickoff, Everett fell to the ground and never moved.
The game was delayed for about 15 minutes, and the Bills gathered at the sideline while doctors attended to the player.
Jennifer Hudson and Sex and the City.
Now this is too cool. I love Sex and the City. I love Sarah Jessica Parker. And Jennifer Hudson is a newcomer/trailblazer who did her thing in Dreamgirls, scoring an Oscar. And she is now slated for a role in the Sex and the City movie! She will play alongside Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradswhaw) as her assistant. Apparently in the movie, Carrie’s career has flourished since we last saw her in the television serious of Sex and the City, so much that she needs to hire a smart, quick-witted assistant, Jennifer Hudson. You go girls!
And I must warn you, watch TV with an appropriate level of discretion. It’s just another way for “the man” to keep us occupied while the real world passes us by. All things in moderation, enough said! (can u tell I’m in a bad mood today?)
