Spoken.

Best I've heard was that I don't look like the type to study because I don't carry a bag on my back. Because I'm very into my style and it's far from wack. But I carry a long champ, and throw away the slack.

No on second thought, the best I've heard is that there's no way I'm a virgin because of my ample round glutinous maximus. That because God has blessed me with a nice body, there's no way that I'm celibate.

Wait..... let me come again. The best I've heard is that I'm pretty for a dark skin girl, and the prettiest Haitian that one ever saw. But why can't I be pretty not like in respect to my complexion but like in the beauty bestowed upon me by my mother and my father. And in reference to my ethnicity, I accept it as ignorance. My beauty and intelligence won't allow me to curse in the name of sheer ugliness.

But hold on, you haven't heard the best, because it came when I was told that I could never be an attorney. Because my temperament, approach and beliefs won't let me.  Excuse me? Come again... I believe that's simply foolish for you to try to guess my fait, despite the fact that God already has it in order. Oh you just wait!

Let me give you more, because the best is better than what I said before. Because the best was when Yvrose let me know the truth. That God has a plan for me and my successes are proof. She also said there'd be motivators disguised as haters and contemplaters. That my persistence and nature are the best of me, but if I don't separate friend from adversary, than that will be the death of me.

And the best I've heard from grandma was to always follow my mother, honor my father and listen to grandfather. Because grandpa taught me too, until about three years ago their time here on earth was through. And through all the tears and heartache, I've realized that my grandparents are my guardian angels. That my mother is my inspiration and my father is a rock who often demonstrates his appreciation. And my sisters, two friends I'll never lose. Because before me there was them. It was Ines, Vicky and then M.

And now we're unbreakable, no matter what our haters say. Because the best I've heard all my life was that the best will never stay. That the best will come and go away. But the best of the best is yet to come, because in life, we will always win and lose some.

BALLING!

Last night the season 3 premiere of VH1's Basketball Wives aired!!  And because I had already enjoyed the sun at the beach with my sister, I decided that I was going to stay in. I was too tired to frolic and "bbq hop" any way. Thus, I was able to watch the premier in it's entirety. Where should I begin? The drama? The wardrobe? or The new wife? Yea you already know I'm going to start with the drama lol.

1. Tammy & Evelyn

2. "Non mother f***** factor"

3. Smart and greedy Evelyn

4. "Non mother f***** factor T-shirts made by Evelyn"

C. Intelligent and hood Tammy wants a law suit

Lol notice how I applied my acquired philosophy knowledge and put the drama into premise/conclusion form.

I understand where both ladies featured in the first premise are coming from. Tammy feels as though Evelyn is taking the "Evelyn sleeping with Kenny" drama too lightly. And I agree!  Tammy said it best, "Evelyn lacks moral foundation" and she also lacks integrity, respect for herself, respect for Tammy and design skills; those T-shirts were NOT cute lol. I'm not trying to defame Evelyn's name here because she already did that on many occasions. I do believe that Tammy has reason to be annoyed and angered by Evelyn's actions but that doesn't mean that Tammy is totally innocent herself.

The way Tammy goes about things is totally wrong. She needs to learn how to move in silence and bring the ghetto down a couple of notches. Having lunch with Suzy, telling Suzy she is going to "sue the bitch (Evelyn) and showing up at Dulce was not an appropriate way to go about her business. I'm not sure that Tammy has a profitable case on her hands, but I guess it's worth a shot. I mean she does need any money she can get lol. But I believe that Tammy failed to realize that attorney fees and the entire litigation process are very stressful and expensive. We'll see though, I doubt she will go through with the law suit once she comes to her senses.

Continuing with the drama, let's discuss the new wife. Shall we?

Mrs.Meeka Claxton, wife of retired NBA baller Speedy Claxton. She's a cute girl and she has a career. The reason she is on the show is because she is a realtor belonging to a "Allure Realty Group". I respect her grind. She clearly understands the importance of not relying on her husband's retirement fund. However, based on last night's episode I don't believe she understands the importance of remaining neutral on the drama spectrum. She also seems to have verbal diarrhea because she could not keep her mouth shut. She met with Shaunie and had a modest talk about her reason for being in town. Then she met with Jen and thought it would be ok to talk about Eric. SMH. After that she met with Royce and didn't know what an appropriate conversation would be because she talked about Royce's dance career and the stereotypes that come along with being an NBA dancer. SMH. Then she went on to have dinner with Evelyn, Jen, and Shaunie. That's when her verbal diarrhea was really a factor which had the ladies confused and annoyed. Meeka seems to want to fit in with Evelyn and Jen but we'll see how far she will go to fit in. She's already started off on the wrong foot!

Last but not least, let's talk the first episode's fashion!

You guys know I love to discuss style, fashion and beauty! And a couple of the Basketball wives are known for their great and expensive style while a couple of them are known for their lack of outfit coordination and cheap clothing. I must say that Jen was looking better than ever and was killing the game last night. I guess it's because I've always been a fan of her style, but she was looking very glamorous. Jen's style isn't too over the top and a lot of her outfits can be emulated and executed without a hefty pocket.  I think that her and Evelyn are the reason why I've taken an interest into huge "hanging" earrings lol. Surprisingly, their earlobes are not sliced even though they wear huge earrings all the time! As for Evelyn, she was looking cute but she needs to take it down a couple of notches with the make up! She packs it on way too much for no reason, and she is starting to look older! I'm pretty sure Shaunie is older than her but it totally looks the other way around lol. Speaking of Shaunie, her attire was looking very age appropriate and well put together on last night's episode. As for Tammy, she has made great progress but still has a ways to go. I understand that she has kids to take care of and she isn't accustomed to being glamorous.But she is trying and I give her a B for effort. Her hair still needs work, and I believe that she may want to consult with a stylist. Last and very least is Royce. This girl really needs a stylist more than Tammy does! Her wardrobe reflects that of a young, immature, and blind girl from the block. lol I know I may be going a little hard but Royce needs HELP! My sisters and I do not have half the money that Royce does but we still manage to dress better than her all the time. SMH.

I can't wait for next week's episode, it should be juicy!!

My friends and I at Columbus Circle.
We HAD to take this picture to celebrate the end of the semester.
Stagnant cabs behind us, lol they loved the view!!

Stole this from theybf.com
I love this look on Eva. I'm loving the turban fad
and best believe I will be rocking it this summer!





Sunny days!

Summer is picking up! The weather is ideal for the beach, pool and/or park! I would love to be out enjoying the beach and getting my tan on right now, but I have to wait. Ladies and gentlemen make sure you put sun screen on to protect your precious skin before you head out doors in this weather. I love the skin I'm in so I don't want any growths or blotches! And yes I did say I would like to get my tan on. Even though I'm a nice brown chocolaty complexion, I DO get tan and my skin looks even more gorgeous lol. To my people of color, please do not refrain from going to the beach because you think that you are dark enough. Dark and Black is BEAUTIFUL. You'd be a fool to believe otherwise. My Black is radiant, and I belong to a social construct of beautiful people!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Good Sunny Afternoon everybody! I would like to send a special shout out to all the past, current and future armed forces, navy seals and marines! May the Lord continue to bless our country.

Enjoy the day off everyone!

It's definitely beach weather!

Hello Summer 2011!

I'm officially done with my Freshman year of college.

Technically I'm a Sophomore!

YAY

The past year was pretty good.

I don't know about you but succeeding in school and earning a high GPA are two of my greatest loves!

So this summer is going to be fun and productive!

I'm not going to settle for mediocrity.

ugh I need a job.

I need a getaway.

I need to get another bathing suit.

I need a lot don't I?

lol I need to share my "bucket list" with you!

EH HEH!!!!!!!

I need to get up and start dancing to Premier Gauo, which I'm listening to right now.

BYE!

The gorgeous Arlena Sosa in this beautiful green monokini. The accessories are a grand statement and I cannot wait for summer so that I can do something similar. BUT I can't pull this at Jones or Long beach, I need to venture to some place tropical.



Looking extremely breathing taking at the Queen's Dinner. Michelle Obama never disappoints. Her style and effortless glamour are admirable. She is simply amazing.

Finally!

Momma likes athletes I start to laugh again? What's your last name boo? Kardashian? Lol well mine isn't and Kim's isn't going to be in just a matter of time.

After half a year of courting, multiple boyfriends, a sex tape, and many lonely nights, Kim Kardashian is engaged. Yes she finally landed herself a baller. A biracial (half African American), New Jersey Nets, extremely tall baller. Kris Humpries popped the question about a week ago in Kim's home. How cute? And of course Momma-ger Kris Jenner had a say in the coordination of an intimate family dinner to celebrate her second daughter's engagement. This is definitely going to be grounds for a new show on E! Thanks to Ryan Seacrest, the Kardashian family has participated in nationally syndicated reality television episodes on E!

I smell a Kris and Kim wedding special in the near future. Just another show for my sisters and I to watch. If you haven't already heard, Vicky, Tata, and I are the black and much more down to earth Kardashian sisters. But our last name is Henriquez. Lol

Congratulations Kim and Kris! I know the nuptuals will be fabulous!

Adele - Someone Like You

Please jam to this while I cannot provide you with any spoken word today, Adele can streghten and support you with her beautiful voice. This song has been of great assistance to me. It's sweet and calming timbre have helped me concentrate and get through a five page paper today. She is the real deal, much like many other UK artists. I wish that Amy Whinehouse will come out from twherever she is hiding and collaborate with Adele. I love them both, but let it be known that before everyone including myself, was on Adele, Amy was taking us by storm. The both of them have a great amount of soul and it's more than in thier voice. Ok guys I'm about to go back to studying for Political Science.

XOXO

So close

I am so close to being free from the constraints that also serve as passage ways. I'm talking about school work guys. Thursday will be my final day. It's so close but yet to far away. I can taste it as I study for my finals. I have two papers to edit and two finals to take before I am completely done with my Freshman year. It's bothersome that all of my few friends are done with school and basking in summer time glory. The sun is bursting through my recently renovated kitchen as I write this. I'm taking a much needed break. But then again success and progress doesn't take too many breaks. I have my eye on the prize and now that I just finished watching the second to last episode of Oprah I am even more motivated and inspired. Oprah hasn't directly done anything for me, but her success will indirectly contribute to my potential to succeed. Seeing the hundreds of Morehouse graduates has further enhanced my desire to earn my Bachelor's degree and then move onto pursue post undergraduate endeavors, whatever those may be. And of course seeing so many Black men freshly polished with a degree in their repertoire has also enhanced my desire to marry a strong, educated and respectful Black man.

Ugh pardon my momentary digression, it's been an interesting year and I'm grateful for every opportunity I was given to succeed. But it's only the beginning. I have three more years to prove myself and succeed. Today's success is only the beginning to a future of successes and failures. Now back to my regularly scheduled studying.

American Wedding-Frank Ocean

Please jam to this while I complete my English research paper. I'm surely singing along as my fingers brush the keyboard, finding letters that will spell out words, that describe the possible causes for joblessness and unemployment among African American and Latino men. It's a sad truth that statistics are staggering for men of these racial groups; high incarceration, high joblessness and debt to their baby mothers. Well I'll go back now, because this paper will not write itself. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday dolls.

Prior to 2011

There was Tupac and Janet in Poetic Justice,

 & Whitley and Dwayne of A Different World


A different world was my show! Ugh I need to get that on DVD. My sister decided to get like every season of The Cosby show, but she forgot about these guys over at Hillman. These guys taught me about Sororities and Fraternities prior to any knowledge of Divine Nine or any other Greek organizations. The also introduced the campus life to me way before I visited Natalie at Albany. Whitley and Dwayne were the greatest, lol I loved Whitley's demeanor and Dwayne's bifocal glasses. HA! Good times!
I'm still waiting to see Poetic Justice in it's entirety, because I've only caught clips of it. As far as I'm concerned it's a very good movie, seing as though the main characters are Tupac and Janet. Ugh I love those two.

Are my standards set too high because I wont settle for a basic guy? Is there a chip on my shoulder  because I know my worth and all that I can be? Am I stuck up and "sadity" because I won't allow myself to entertain the unambitious boys I see? Call me any name in the book, but quite frankly I wont even look. Because the way I see it is that I'm worth all that I aspire to be and I'm worth a guy who has the same goals as me. I'm worth an appropriate salutation, respect and patience. Not a trivial greeting, a disrespectful glance and a persistent stare at my ample round ass. You see, I call myself confident, I know I'm beautiful but I also know that to some I'm ugly. To some I'm bummy, basic or maybe even "Bad". But to keep it real calling me names won't make me sad. But it also won't make me glad, because I don't like to be prejudged and misunderstood. If only you'd get to know me you'd really wish you could...take back the things you called me, and ask for forgiveness. Am I confused and misguided because I know my worth? Is there a stick up my rectum because I don't give out my number to every guy that interests? My attention and time are precious gifts that I can't hand out....to these guys that act like the animals that smell with a snout. Excuse my crazy humor but that's part of me. I cannot and will  not lower my standards for a horny boy who is inadequate and incompetent. For a bum who doesn't know up from down or left from right. For a boy who smokes week so much, he basically lives on a flight.  For a fool who dropped out of school to pursue things that he thinks are cool. Not every one is Sean Carter so know your roll. Don;t even bother stepping to me if your grammar isn't on point, misplaced modifiers, run on sentences, tense inconsistency all in a jumble, I'm no English teacher but it would be if I was a bit more humble. Keep it real with me but don't judge me, keep it smart with me because intelligence is something you cant see. Get to know me or leave me alone, because the former questions I asked are things that are  things that I've known...to be called. And they aren't true, but then again..love me or hate me...it's on you.

Daily Fab

I havent done a "Daily Fab" in a while! But today I had to bless you guys with some amazing fabosity.



Ms. Jackson and her amazing figure. She never disappoints! Her image brings justice to many people lol.



We know I'm not the biggest supporter of Beyonce, but she is a Fab chick. Rocking the hell out of this mauve turban.

Americans and their hoopla

How awesome would it be if tomorrow brought an end to illness,famine,poverty,ignorance,disease & hegemony? I'd bask in that, but I'm just wishfully thinking.

I refuse to believe that the world will come to an end tomorrow. Accoring to the contentions of a single individual, May 21 2011 will bring about the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The rapture? The flood? The cessation? Whatever way you wish to identify May 21, 2011, be aware that the predictions for tomorrow, are blasphemy. Plenty of people predicted false dates for the end of the world prior to Ed Camping. Perhaps he was more persistant and resourceful than others which is why more people are believeing the hype. This man has a team of people who most likely strategized for months about how they would be able to win people over. I must hand it to them, because they do have an enormous number of followers. This movement is simply a strategy to earn money. The posters, the books, the ads and all the other rubbish that uphold ignorant and blaspheming slogans. While the Bible talks about the second coming of God, there is no exact date that we can expect for him to arrive. When he first ressurected did he warn anybody? Did he delegate an individual to analyze and discuss his arrival? Was there earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and other natural disasters? I think not. So why would he change his method in 2011? What makes this year so special that God would bless us with his presence? Lets not get in over our heads folks, you will wake up tomorrow. My friend Kendrick wil be able to celebrate his 19th birthday, I will be able to finish my two research papers, my mother will wake up and go about her daily routines, K Fox will give Hot 97's listeners the Hit List, and my sister will definately call out of work to attend a trival make up sale. Yes, Saturday May 21 won't be any different from other Saturdays people. Please grab hold of something sturdy, and get a firm grip! But if you must, call everybody you love and remind them how much you love them. You should do that everyday but if you are giving into the hype, you should definately do it tonight. Don't worry folks, many of us will not die tomorrow. Only the people who God has planned to bring into his kingdom will die. It's just unfortunate that it will be tomorrow on the day that one fool named "judgement day".

:SIGH:

The skies are so misleading. When I woke up this morning, the sun was shining through my curtains. Thus I decided to wear a tube top, blazor, cropped jeans, and sandals. Well I was led astray and now it's raining cats and dogs. I don't want to hear any hoopla fuckery that it's because the world is ending; the world will not come to a hault at 12 am or at any other point in the twenty four hours of May 21, 2011. On a better note, I pretty much just did the damn thing on my Spanish final. According to Profesora Soto-Fernandez I'm awesome and should definately pursue a minor in Spanish. Well of course, me and Spanish just mesh very well together! lol I'm waiting for the rain to die down before I just up and leave this library. Maybe the fool with the Sex and the City theme song ring tone will shut his/her phone off. Until then, I'll be blogging on this huge Mac.

This is a cover of Wale's "Ambitious Girl". I love his version but I wanted to a create a version of my own for the Ambitious Boys and men out there. Once again shout out to all the young men in college on full scholarship!

Ambitious Girl
Ambitious girl, the drive-drives me crazy I'm tryna stay with you, lay with you
I'll pay you tuition, pray with you if you aint intuition.I'm tryna fxck the shxt out your aspirations

come back with some make up, high heels, and a purse, or worse i ask, "Babygirl, what you aspire to be?"she reply to me like, "why you perspiring me?" bxtch..pardon me if I'm sweating you but,
I wanna see something else in you before I invest in you ambitious girl, (what you sitting for)
I'd rather you tell me to hit you later, because you gotta finish a paper
then to be in my face asking for a rosea cup see these bxtches can't cut in yo business
I'm in love with your business and your productivity is the reason I intrest, ambitious girl
see, I like the person that you are, but I'm in love with the person that you have potential to be
and all your dreams sharing with me and your secrets baring with me
and the flaws, you aint even got to mention to me,ambitious girl, you just wanna win, and you'd rather chase your dreams, then to try to chase these men that try to chase these skirts
that try to chase these shots with flavors that not even as sweet as her my ambitious girl, I wont forget you,I just reflect on how I aint met you, yet boo you somewhere, getting your life in order
so for the time being, i hope this (overscribe) might support her
support her, or work her, she worth it
go girl, go girl, go girl. Ambition

Ambitious Boy

Ambitious boy, your perseverance keeps me guessing. I'm trying to be with you,learn with you, grow with you and pull and all nighter if you're not into "all nighters". I'm trying to engage in a deep session of cerebral stimulation. You see the last one I dated was incompatible. He'd call me. I'd be studying, I'd call back and he'd be partying, parlaying, saying hes trying to experience "the college life". Best I asked him, baby what do you see in me? He replied to me, I miss your body. Douche bag. Pardon me if I'm questioning you but I want to see your motives and aspirations before I sex with you. Ambitious boy with a life plan. I rather hear you say I cant sex with you cause we're not wedded, then for you to dial my digits for a late night booty call. See these N***** can't compete with your vision. And I'm in love with your visions. And your tenacity is the cause of your winnings. Ambitious boy, see I like the visions you have but I;m more in love with your dedication to make those visions reality. And all your plans, share them with me. And your darkness, light them with me. And your imperfections you can expose those to me. Ambitious boy you just want to succeed, and you rather chase your aspirations than chase those skirts, that try to call you dirt, that isn't even what you equate to. My ambitious boy, I won't desert you. I just know I haven't encountered you yet. You are out there catching your dreams. So for the time being, I hope this (overscribe) will push you. The go getter. You're worth it. Go Boy. Go Boy. Go Boy. Go Boy. Ambition.

Let me explain.

So the other day I posted a lil something that I wrote under the heading "Spoken". The piece that I wrote doesn't have a title because I believe it speaks for itself. Every person who reads it may interpret it differently which is why I chose to leave it titleless. The piece was originally written for a friend of mine who is going through it in every aspect of her life. But I believe that many people, both men and women can identify with the piece. "Spoken" is going to be a new addition to andallthatg0odstuff to showcase spoken word pieces that I've worked on. Comments, both good and bad, would be greatly appreciated. I love feed back. So if you love, hate, or aren't too sure how you feel the pieces you can be honest with me, I can take it.

"Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath."

My face is unsymmetrical, my hands can't completely flatten, my hair is nappy, my nose is big & round, But

Spoken.

Shes so deeply entrenched, drowned and sunken in love. So misguided, baffled, and all over love. She hasn't realized that this love isn't quite love. That this thing that they're doing is undesirable, frowned upon and entirely done. She's so stuck on stupid. Stuck on making things better. Stuck on stuck because she doesn't know more. Her free will and intellect are out the door. She'd do almost anything to make him see shes the one. But he's so deeply entrenched, drowned and sunken in his lessons. So remained, it's insane that hes all over his books. His ambitious are taking a toll on this love, like  money does crooks. He hasn't realized that this love is so far above that it takes a toll on her mind. His Bio Chemical make up is admiring, inspiring, and so diligently placed, that her medulla and balance equate to that of a young child. Yes she regresses, to a time when things were far from wild. When things were worth her while, when all he did was make her smile. When he lured her into the world of his, when he was about her and she was about her too. When all she wanted to make sure was that their friendship wasn't through. "He is so dumb, He is stupid! Boys are stupid" she claims. They really are! but to keep it real and if the premise is true, wouldn't that make you a boy too? Because you've been stupid, baffled, and duped in a love that isn't love. In a trivial pursuit where you're the cat and he's the mouse, where you are a stranger in his mom's house. Cause you haven't gained her approval. Because he's on a mission, on the pursuit of enlightenment. While you're on this steady pursuit of indictment. While you try to diligently to be liked by the Matriarch, but quite frankly it doesn't work because this love is a circus park. She lost her innocence to a boy not a man. Because his actions are so immature, so juvenile, and so barren. So insulting that it's crippling to her being. It's a hurdle to her soul, way beyond any one's control. Cause you're just a girl so in love with a fool, it's sickening to a feminist like me. To a girl who who preaches and tries to steer you from this lust. To a girl who doesn't have her head on straight, but has her head on her shoulders not on some fool's plate. Not on a boy, not on a trivial joy. But on her strong brown shoulders. Her aura so real and strong that it can lift boulders. And if the premise is true and she loves too, than she can be honest and real with you. She can levitate, she can help you progress, and digress from this trivial pursuit........
But she's so deeply entrenched, drowned and sunken in love. So foolish it's horrid and disheartening to hear her cry. To hear her try so hard to make him see she's the one. She's so stupid, so foolish it sucks to be her, but it sucks to be Tammy too. Cause Tammy is the other chick, who got drunk and helped herself to a lovely taken plate of biochemical lust. The biochemical boy who treats my friend like a toy. The biochemical fool who lost something sooo cool. The foolish child who will never realize the pain he put her through.  The pain that my home girl experiences in her dark purlieu. In her small room, in her horrible gloom. In her innocent mind, in her chaotic life. Cause this biochemical fool did it once to some other stupid tool. But my stupid home girl excepted him. She welcomed him with open arms, soul and mind. She believed his lies that he used to get ahead. But not anymore, not as long as I'm still breathing. Not as long as he's still scheming. Nope I'm not having it. My home girl will prevail, succeed and show fool that he pick the wrong one to reckon with. Him and Tammy will never feel the same. Hoes will be hoes though, so I can't blame Tammy. But home girl blames Tammy, but I blame Manny. But I blame home girl. But this isn't yeezy's blame game. Cause home girl is better, stronger, and she will never be the same.

Happy Sunday Everybody!

It's been a gloomy and blah day thus far mainly because of the weather.

I've been inside doing work and checking out some fun and funky blogs.

Then I remembered I am a blogger too lol!

I've really been neglecting this here so I know I need to get it together!

The semester is dwindling. I've been swamped with assignments, projects, and papers. Everything must get handed in on time which is why I haven't been blogging. I'm so ready for school to be over so that I can jump into summer. Then again the weather is still in the mid sixties. If it was blazing hot I'd definitely be longing to wear my new bathing suit lol. It's totally sexy! Ehhh I just finished a paper and I have two more to go so I'm taking a break to blog. I hope you all appreciate this lol.

How do we feel?

Kanye's new line of scarves, are very interesting. They are a play on his "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" album cover. Inspired by the paintings of George Condo, and designed by M/M Paris, these scarves are risque and quite the wallet pincher ringing in at 364 USD. Well they are simply collectors items and not many of them will be sold, so if you think it's worth it, get your scarf today! They can be purchased through M/M (Paris)’s website. And Let me know how that goes for you!

How do we feel?

I would love to know how you feel about the "Isabel Marant Wedge Sneaker".Now I've seen a wedge sneaker done before, but not executed this well. This version is classic and chic and I believe it would appeal to a diverse group of people. Rather than sticking a wedge heel on an athletic shoe with laces, the designer of this shoe substituted the cliche for some velcro straps. Now wedge and platform have been the craze for the past couple of seasons, so this is a very intelligent and innovative creation. I'd wear the Isabel wedge sneaker!

How do we feel?

Daily Fab

 It is with great honor and pride that I feature this lady here on today's Daily Fab. Talia Jean Cadet exemplifies all that Daily Fab embodies. Ms. Cadet is my inspiration to go beyond the Haitian tradition of pursuing a career in either law, medicine, or engineering. Once Talia realized that Accounting was not for her, she made sure to change her major course of study to something that she would enjoy and excel in. I commend Talia for being confident enough to do something that would first make her happy then make her parents proud.  About three summers ago, Talia spoke to me about her career plans and mentioned that she did not mind starting off at the bottom to ensure her way to the top. She has inspired me to major in Public Relations and show my parents that success isn't in the figures of your salary. However, success is Talia Jean Cadet, someone who has worked diligently to graduate with a double major. Someone who genuinely understands hard work. And someone who will not allow anyone or anything hinder her from succeeding. 

 Talia made the most of her undergraduate years and got involved in various Co curricular and Volunteer activities. She has had her own relationship blog and worked as a Columnist for both JAYE and Black Listed Magazine. She has also served as chair women and directer of various Collegiate organizations. And most excitingly,  she has been chosen to Teach for America in Washington, D.C. Talia is going to succeed at anything and everything she takes on. Her charismatic and amicable nature is admired and respected by many. I am very proud of Talia and I cannot wait to watch as she prospers and succeeds in the future. I am confident that Talia will be renowned and wealthy as oppossed to rich and famous. Congratulations my girl!!

 Gas prices are still at an all time high, the national debt hasn't been recovered, and many Americans are still struggling. Nobody supposed that those issues would magically disappear once Osama died ,so why are people so excited? His death is simply a beginning to a horrible end.

Osama Bin Laden is dead, it's a fact. Whether or not we see pictures, I am confident in the truth that President Obama told us on Sunday night. The decision by the White House cabinet to not release photos was very wise and intelligent. Releasing pictures will only perpetuate the propaganda and hoopla against Al Qaeda. Even though pictures have inevitably surfaced the world wide web, it is better that they leaked through some anonymouss source than through the White House cabinet. To perpetuate anger of Osama Bin Laden's minions would be unwise and to believe that the death of Osama is an ending to all heartache, pain and grief, would also be unwise. The death of Osama Bin Laden is only the beginning to a whirlwind of issues. Moreover, Osama knew his demise would come which would suppose that he has trained plenty members of Al Qaeda to follow in his foot steps and to make sure his "legacy" lives on. The uproars and cheers that followed the announcement of Bin Laden's death were foolish. The momentary joy that lobbyists and opposers felt will be short lived once Al Qaeda implements their plan of attack. They are quiet now because people assume that the noise will immediately ensue. But Al Qaeda is smarter than that. Just like their attack on 9/11 was unexpected, their newest retaliation will also be unexpected. If I see one more face book status or News Paper headline about Bin Laden's death I might scream. It's over and done with until any attacks by Al Qaeda begin. If America continues to broad cast and boast about the death of their leader, they will be triggered to perform horrible acts of terrorism.

Fellow Americans, get a firm grip and gain some control, we are all in for a bumpy ride.

Good_Music

Shout out to the under rated, and under paid. I'm into the kind of music that has a poetic feel to it. And prior to attending St. John's Black Music Festival last week, I never realized what Wale was about. But I must say that I was impressed. He has the D.C swag with the dreads and I feel like he's very personable. Can I just shout out the fact that he is from Naija? lol I was waiting for him to shout out the green/white/green all night, but sadly he didn't. I made sure to download a good amount of his songs and I'm loving "90210" and "Ambitious Girl", even though the latter is more of a poem. I'm hoping that he continues to climb up the latter because I am surely supporting him.

Speaking of a poetic feel, Common has all of that plus swag and looks. It hit me today while I was at the hair salon, that Common is a greatt lyricist. I mean I knew that before but something about hearing a 2 Pac song made me think of Common. He needs to be represented more and step out into the lime light.Actually, on second thought, maybe he should just stay where he is. Radio and notority can really take a toll on some people. I'm not saying he's one of those people but it's a possibility. The fact that he's underrated makes me appreciate him more as an artist.

Last but not least, my boy Lupe is pretty "swaggy".  I've been listeing to his lyrics more and more and I have to give him props for being real.  Real enough to talk about the music industry and it's schemes. I would totally buy his album if I was into the whole buying album thing lol. One in the air for Lupe though. He has come a long way from the "kick-push" days.

Ladies, I'm only being real with you

Ladies can I be real with you for a minute... or two? I'm not here to judge, label or scream at you boo. But we must do better. I say we because I'm not above advancement and self reflection. I'm with you when you cry, laugh, and anger. Just like you I've experienced pain, heartache, joy, and sadness. And just like you I'm capable of so much more. Ladies we have to go beyond the constraints of our gender. We have to realize our worth and appreciate ourselves. If we don't nobody will. Trust me when I say that you are your number one fan. Don't boast too much , you'd be simply making a fool. Don't think it's the business to try and make boys drool. Because boys are dogs, and if you haven't heard they are in it to win. In it to score. Their priority is to hit home run then hit the door. Don't let them take your goodies as collateral, because you are so much more.Spreading your knees won't get you too far. Trust me girl, you don't want to lose your S-E-X. Daddy might go crazy. Mommy won't know what to tell you. But I'm here to say it's ok to wait. Its ok to aspire, hope, and pray. Because Mary was Immaculate and she had Joseph at the end of the day. I don't need you to be the modern day Mother Theresa, but there's nothing wrong with stimulating your mind. Because boys like girls who like themselves. Real men appreciate you for you, they won't hold you in a bind. Ladies don't jump from crotch to crotch it's nothing cute. Childish fools will ridicule, torment, and throw stones at your life. Drake talks about the square root of sixty nine, and it's probably equal to an his IQ. Speaking of intelligence quotient, go after the men with the highest one. The ones who are in college to succeed not "bag" and run. I respect a guy who is in school on full scholarship. I understand that sports and academics take discipline, diligence, and determination. Triple d's! But don't fall victim, allowing those boys to throw some D's...on you. To be frank with you, I realized that alot of us women will do whatever it takes to be noticed. We like attention...the lime light...the boys who like girls who don't mind spending the night. The boys who rather Nicki than India....Vulgara than Esperanza...intercourse fellatio instead of cerebral sex. Because he wants that's momentary pleasure. The instant gratification that results in your shame. He wants you on your knees because his ego is way bigger than anything between his knees. He wants you to lower your standards because he believes they are too high. He wants you to be with only him. But you'd rather die. And I'd rather live to see the day when you will be real with me for a minute or two. I rather continue on this trivial journey and allow myself to find....a guy who is worth my energy, my sweat and time. Cause my mom was the one who made sure I was paying attention. When I became a women at age 10 there was no contention. She drilled into my skull that it was possible for me to be pregnant. I took her words and ran and I will never be pregnant....until my left hand fourth finger is pregnant. You may ask whether or not that's possible. Laugh out loud because I'm just trying to make this thing flow. But I'm telling you Cartier, Tiffany, and Mikimoto are capable of knocking up your finger. Their diamonds are precious stones. Trust me when I say I'm not digging for gold. I'm digging for truth. I'm on the movement to finish school then be on the pursuit...of a man that's successful. I want the kind of guy who will understand that I'm far from dull. I'm far from calm....I am my mom, reupholstered. Cause she wanted me to be better than she..better than her. She lives vicariously through me and I'm ok with that. Yvrose is someone you'd want to be too...if you would only ccomprehend. And that's spoken like a true sister.... a true winner. A true Bad chick who will only go further. But never mind advancement for a second...can I be real with you? I'm not here to judge, label, or scream at you boo. But we have to do better. I promise we will. It's written in the stars, written in the skies, and I'm hoping after this, it's written in your mind.
