Yay for the new job!!!

So I got my new gig, and I like it!!! For reasons knownst to me, I won't put it here but those cool enough with me know what it is. (Yes, it's legal!).

But I gotta say...getting up at 4am is no joke!!! I'm like DAMNNNNNNNNN!!! The sun hasn't even THOUGHT about peeking out yet, and here I am on the train by 5. But I'm not complaining. Yall saw all of this madness going on down on Wall Street. I'm sooo not complaining.

Of course, it doesn't leave me much time to schmooze on the computer. But I got a bit of extra sleep in yesterday, so maybe after I finish this assignment I'll play catch up.

DR was wonderful!!!! Boy oh boy we had a blast! We're going to Hawaii next year dammit. I'll have more $$ and paid vacation gotdammit. Paid vacation...ahhh can't believe I'm saying that :D and paid sick days, paid lurnch...yes LURNCH!!! Oh boy!

I still have tons of hair ish to review. I'm sorry if I don't get back to everyone on fotki, np, nc, lhc, lhcf, youtube...at once. A girl is busy!!!!

But I promise...soon! Now let me finish this damn assignment.

Whoohoo!! Off to DR I go!!!

So...a bunch of new beginnings. New hair, new job, new trip...hell my first trip out of the US!! In 10 hours I will be on a plane to Punta Cana with my favorite person!!

See yall next week!!

And no....I will NOT be going to buy Dominican hair products!! hehe!

House music...yeah it's that serious.

It must be, for me to be awake at nearly 12:30 at night, perusing the internet to find this song I've been lusting after for quite some time. Yanno, God bless all of the DJ's that so graciously share with me the songs they play. I'm not a DJ, don't worry, I prefer to dance and spectate instead of being behind a turntable. Plus, I'm clumsy as all hell and would most likely knock something over.

Then there are the DJ's that won't tell you EVER...even if you ask once when they're not busy. Which forces me to record things on my camera, then come home, listen to the song and google until I find it.

My latest conquest was Marvin Gaye;s "Inner city blues", a remix which 4hero did. Now...if you've never heard of 4hero, you are seriously lacking. I love me some 4hero. Eh, it's not house music though, more like nujazz, but I digress. Here's the link to the song that I FINALLY found! Thank goodness for ebay:

So my album should be here my next week. But I'm far from done. I have quite a few more songs I need to find. And believe me, I always find what I'm looking for.

I can't believe I'm this late....

You know, it's a shame really. For me to be in my mid-20's and to JUST start truly appreciating Prince, it's a shame. But damn, after seeing "Purple Rain" (which I can't watch without cheesing now) with Big Poppa, I started getting HOOKED on his music, and now I'm going to make it my mission to get to one of Prince's concerts, even if we have to fly out of country. I mean, why the heck not, I got a passport now!!!!!!

But yeah, I've always liked his music, particularly 1999, which they played at my 4th birthday party (and I still have the home video to prove it lol) and Sexy MF (which my mother didn't seem to keen on, and gave me a withering look even after I told her it was Prince.)

But seriously, his music is so sexy, you can listen to it, find yourself stripping and then when the song goes off, wonder what the hell happened to your clothes and looking to see where your panties went. IT'S THAT SERIOUS.

But dammit, good music is supposed to make you feel that way. It can be erotic without being slutty, or just brash and brazen, not like this crap they play today. Shoot, I don't even know what the hell they're talking about half the time. The sexy harem dancers in "The One" video, sultry. The dude in Nelly's "Tip Drill" video swiping a credit card down the crack of homegirl's @$$, just plain nasty.

If I ever do get to meet Prince, I wanna fuss about all of the muted videos on youtube. I mean damn, he has enough money to feed my entire family, putting a couple videos on youtube won't kill him, but what the hey. I'd give a right tit to meet him still (though Poppa would tell him hey!....I need that tit back!)

Anywho, I'll post the seccy video here, and if you start stripping...it aint my fault.

Yes, I know I suck...

And I'm sorry!! A sista's been BUSY! But it's all for a good reason. Then you need to be in the mood to blog, and goodness knows I've started, then stopped. Then started, and stopped again. My internet acting funky didn't help either, but here's a recap:

My room is CLEAN!!!!!!!! And I mean clean clean. I now have a swiffer wetjet and the dusting wand to help me keep it that way. Hardwood floors are a right pain in the arse, do you know how much dirt it collects?? It's like it has its own built-in dirt factory, purely to make me lose my mind. Nevermind all of the shed hair that finds its way down there, and I comb my hair what, once a week?

I've been buying those loreal HiP eyeshadow duos like it's nobody's business. I was wondering why CVS kept issuing those damn $10 off a $50 purchase coupons everytime I bought something. How about a $5 off a $25!!!! Zyrtec ain't cheap and I surely have to stock up. Someone needs to help me with those shadows too, I got some really funky colors.

I got my !!!! And to kick the event off, my honey and I are going to Dominican Republic in September. And to think, I just randomly put my application for it in, got it very fast might I add a few weeks later, and now I'm going to take my first overseas trip. Uber cool.

So I FINALLY have a ipod. I've been saying that I was going to get one since...forever and I never have. Well, I do now and I love it. Uploading music can be a pain in the ass when you have as much as I do (and I'm still buying more, as I'm a house junkie. I'm actually listening to Osunlade Re-Offering which is my FAVORITE album! Get it get it get it!).

Anita Grant's products are the shizznick. Of course, her things cost a small fortune to ship to the States, but who cares! They're worth it. Oh Anita! My sapote and coconut pomade isn't here yet, I'm going through withdrawals!

I haven't eaten any sort of fruit since the summer started, no wonder I feel like a damn blimp. Since I'm allergic to just about all fruits and avocado (so random) I can only have berries and citrus. I think I'll make a nice mixed berry salad, I was scarfing them down errday last summer.

The Halal man lied when he said he put extra sauce on my lamb gyro. I'm still sore about that.

I've been cutting off the straight bits of my hair. I think it's lopsided now, but eh, I don't really care. I didn't know that my hair coils up! It's pretty cool.

Oh yes, I've ordered quite a few products that I must give reviews for, which include some other Anita Grant stuff I hadn't tried, Jessicurl, Oyin, and....I'm sure there's more. I'm going to start doing videos on youtube also so check that out. I already have one up there on how I detangle my hair.

Okay I'm done...for now!

Raped at the gas pump!!!

And I mean it, shoved straight in the butt, to the balls, no KY Jelly, no astrolide no NOTHING!!!!!!

Can you blame me for having a face like this?



Gas is $4.05 a gallon give or take a few pennies depending on where you go. I refuse to drive ANYWHERE I don't have to right now. I will walk everydamn where, heck it's exercise!!!

Erykah Badu @ Radio City Music Hall

Okay, so this past Friday (5/9/08) the fiance and I went to see non other than Miz Badu!!! Man oh man words cannot describe how I love this woman. My man told me that she gives you a great show, but nothing prepared me for it.

She sang a bunch of songs off of her new album Amerykah, but she didn't sing Honey!!!! That left me feeling cheated, as cheated as a hooker who got paid but the dude took back his money after he got the pannies. Yes, it was that deep.

Speaking of pannies, Loleatta Brown (if you don't know better ask somebody) she did "Annie don't wear no panties". LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD if I didn't holler!!! Erykah is crazier than a little bit but damn if she doesn't tell the truth.

Oh, here's the video for ya:



NOW.....here's my only beef about the concert.

1. I hate everyone. I really do. Okay, almost everyone. I paid damn near $200 for tickets only to have the retarded ass people of the world walking back and forth...and back and forth...and back and forth!!!! I mean damn!!! I came to see Erykah and The Roots, not a bunch of stupid heads floating around blocking my view of the stage!!

2. The STUPID BROADS SITTING IN FRONT OF US RECORDING EVERY DAMN THING, JUMPING UP FOR EVERY DAMN SONG, AND FARTING CONTINUOUSLY!!!!!!!! They must have been tourists, cause they smelled like dirty water hotdogs and then kept blowing up the our seating section. Needless to say, EVERYONE that was near us was complaining. And between them standing up, I told the girl next to me she was a Godly girl, cause I would have been cussing up a storm. I offered her a twizzler to throw at the girls, or at least smack them in the back of the head with it if they kept standing up. My fiance was trying to hold back from taking her camera and chucking it down the aisle.

3. The drunk dude behind us screaming "WEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" every five seconds. Dude...I know you love Erykah, we do too. Which is why I paid to hear "Honey yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! You so sweet!!" not "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Keep that sh*t at your Daddy Yankee concert, ya dig?

4. THE EXPENSIVE @$$ PARKING FEE!!!!!!!!!!!! $51.00 USD, and the man must have thought he was gonna get a tip, even though our car was RIGHT THERE where we could have pulled out ourselves easily (which we did dammit)

5. Me not being able to get a picture of Erykah! I swear on everything I love, we are getting seats so close next time she comes to NY, I'm gonna be able to see the twinkle in her hazel eyes, and feel her SWEAT drop onto my forehead. I AIN'T LYING!!!!!

Highlights of the show:

1. The usher who was white bread but bopping along, dancing and two-stepping down the aisle. He knows good music!!

2. The drunken woman who...heheeeeee! Let me not talk too bad about folks, but LAWD sister was having herself a good ole time, cause she went to the bar at least 8 times and came back drunker....and drunker....and drunker. Now she had this gait that nearly made me hysterical with laughter. Now mix in a bunch of drinks, she sashayedsashayedsayshayed, almost fell over, stopped sashaying, caught herself, didn't spill her drinks and continued to sashaysashaysashay down the aisle. HEEEEEEEELARIOUS!!!!!!!!

3. The man proposing to his lady onstage. That was sweet! And Erykah gave them church hugs heheee!

4. The Roots wearing "We Are Sean Bell" shirts, and dedicating a song to him and his family. I thought that was nice of them.

5. Erykah's little dance to "Annie don't wear no panties." IT WAS HEEEEEEEEELARIOUS!!!! It was something you had to see, that's the best I can describe it.

6. Erykah coming out onto the seating area and letting other people sing. One girl was off key so Erykah had the band change it for her so she could sing lol. I can't remember what song, oh, it was "Tyrone". OH MAN I wish she would have come by me, I would have embarrassed myself just to be near her lol.

All in all, a great time was had. Can't wait till she comes back next year!!
