Random 'Ish

Tons of thoughts running through my mind, and I need to share:

My birthday is almost here and besides rounding up all my blog buddies and doing Karaoke I don't have it all planned out....SO NOT ME

I am tired of this house process. I know its a deal and all but GOT DAMN can I get a break and be done with this mess already.

I said it on Twitter I'll say it again, I am not happy about Morgan Freeman playing Mandela and even more upset that bkbuttafly told me Winnie is being played by J.Hud. WTF people?


This morning a transit worker mouthed to me "You're the One".I laughed but was flattered.

I HATE THE U/S. SENATE! I mean hate hate hate.

I get that the Republican'ts dislike President Obama, Universal Healthcare blah blah but what is wrong with the Dems and this need to filibuster Universal Healthcare and the public option. I hate you! (yes Ms. P I am going to write, but this thing has taken a new turn)

37 charges of ethical violations Senator Sanford? I foresee a dumbass award in your future. Guess his rising star has sunk FAST.

These damn politicians should have learned one thing from former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick don't use the publics money for your escapades.

Last Night when J-lo bust her ass I laughed so hard I started coughing, today I saw a woman do the same thing. It was equally as funny.

CJ had a real scrimmage match this past Saturday. It was HILARIOUS.

And yes I'm officially a soccer mom. Not the mini-van driving, Laura Ashley type. More like Claire Huxtable when Rudy joins the football team.


Now that my logo is coming along, its time to find some cool saying to put on the t-shirts.

Someone needs to come over and paint my house once we close. I pay in fabulous meals and I'll even let you sleep over...

What food isn't enough?Clearly you haven't had my pancakes FROM SCRATCH,ask about me!

I need a new camera. I think I want the Nikon touch. DAMN Ashton and those commercials.

Did I mention how much of a snooze the AMA's were? And how awful Rihanna's performance was? Well now I have.

I should be watching the news but instead I'm watching Chef Academy. I love cooking shows!

Besides the News in NY is all shoot 'em up (thanks to the Bronx) and that is just depressing.

Toddlers are just plain old crazy. Crying and falling out to laughing hysterically in 50seconds flat.

Is this suppose to be funny? I swear the Conservatives are high and just sitting around thinking "you know what would be funny?" and then they put out these crazy things:


Please pay attention that the same Black guy is being featured over and over again. Just plain old crazy.
And yes this will be released straight to DVD on Thursday.






'Dem a Bleach

When I was younger the title of this post was a really popular dancehall song. It was intended to strike shame in those that bleached their skin to go from darker to lighter skin tones w/the use of bleaching agents, and it did. You did not want to be the girl that bleached or used products like Ambi to "even out" your skin tone. Looking back maybe it was more teenagers making jokes, but in a strange way it forced you to be proud of who you were.

In recent news  it seems what was once taboo is becoming a popular trend with athletes, musicians down to the regular Jane on the street. I'm sure you've all seen the pics of Sammy Sosa and read his comments about rejuvenation and not being racist. I agree with Sosa he's not a racist(one because that makes no sense) he is something far worse. In his efforts to "rejuvenate" his skin he's shown that self hate is Alive and present no matter the situation. Self hate in this form is  dangerous for many reasons, and it promotes the stereotype that Euro beauty is still the standard. If you're white you're right, black step back. So you lighten your skin regardless of the consequences.  Unfortunately Sosa is in the public eye, and  some little Dominican boy or girl is going to think that picking up rejuvenation products   is the key to success because their idols do it.

After I saw Sosa's pic and heard his lame excuse behind it I was disgusted. Then DJ D.Nice put the video below up on twitter:




This entire family in Jamaica bleaches their skin,and their reasons are just as convoluted as Sosa's. Despite bleaching creams being illegal in Jamaica and the Dr's warning them of the dangers of using these black market products, they continue  risking life and freedom to lighten their skin.  The young woman in the video even says if she had one dollar she'd  use it to get bleach not food. Bleaching for her is a necessity while food is a luxury.  There is something really wrong with that.  She continues on to say that when she bleaches no one can say anything to her because she is white..... There it is! I'm white I'm RIGHT, you're Black STEP BACK. Its a mentality that has always plagued our people but I've never seen it manifest itself this way.

In the past we've seen studies about Black children preferring dolls that are white because they are "clean" and "smart" while the Black doll is "dirty" and "stupid" and we were outraged. However we still hope for the best because they are children. We hope that their parents, friends, a book something, someone will intervene and point them in the direction of self-love.  (More on that later) But how do we help or change the minds of adults with the same mind set?  The adults that would rather be the white doll, because then she'd be able to demand respect,get a proper job? Where do you start when a family makes the decision to kill and starve themselves in an  effort to live the white dream?
