My Xmas List

I may be the only 19 year-old that still writes out a Christmas List every year, and really gives it to my mother, either in person, or via email, buuuuuut I don't care because I like to see how materialistic I truly am, and then I learn to deal with it, year after year after year.

Here we go:

-Mac Pro Notebook. For blogging purposes, and pictures, and because it's just a really bomb ass computer. I've been an HP girl my whole life, so why not try something new?
[we'll see if I actually see this under the tree.. my guess is no. but I can still hope yea?]
-Escada "Magnetism" and Chanel "Chance" perfumes. yummm my favs.
-A few pairs of designer jeans. Specifically Joe's Jeans and maybe some Trues.. [skinnies to be exact]
-the Nikon s60. Yea. The camera Ashton Kutcher is using in the commercial.. where you can write on the screen and junk.. that is one beautiful camera. Not to mention I have had the same p.o.s camera since I was sixteen that I bought myself with my Steak n' Shake tips.. [don't ask. I don't wanna talk about it]
-a DVD player. Umm, because my friends make fun of me that I still have a VCR in my room. hey, what else am I going to watch my Disney movies on!?!

and last but not least

-I want Santa to have Pharrell Williams waiting for me underneath my Christmas Tree, and then I want him to express his love for me, and blah blah blah.. let's get under the mistletoe :]

I think I did way better this year with the things I would like Santa to bring to my house.. I've been a good girl I swear :]

sleepless in atlanta

What kind of Thanksgiving break did I really have?

I spent Thanksgiving with my friend Amanda's family in Snellville, GA, then came home, got a few winks in, and was up and back to work. Sales Associate shift from 8am-1pm, took a quick nap, and it was back on the books. I spent my Friday afternoon, evening, night, reading my book for my African American Religion class, into the wee hours of the night.

Saturday, I actually got to sleep in, but as soon as I woke up I was back on the books trying to finish my info tech assignments, due tonight at 11pm. I have yet to finish. Let's just say I am the original procrastinator, and there is nothing I can do about it. Along with Info Tech and religion, I have assignments due in my news writing class (two articles), an extra credit assignment in my Phy Sci class over the evolution of stars, and a Powerpoint project due in my history class over The Great Zimbabwe. Having said that, I hope that you get the picture that I have not had much sleep in the past couple of days, and this so-called holiday break, has been filled with nothing but working for money, and grades.

Luckily, I can say that I will for sure be ace-ing my Info Tech class, and have my book practically finished by tonight. Also, my grades should drastically be brought up in both my Phy Sci and History classes, simply because I am a genius.

Let me cross my fingers, I don't want to jinx myself... again. ha
Hope all of you had a great weekend! I will leave you to listen to some beyonce babiies. :]

Necole Bitchie

Necolebitchie.com

If you have never heard of it, check it out now. Her blog/website is kind of what I strive to do later on in life, to an extent. Right now, my blog is strictly about me and things that are going on in my life, with a blog here and there having to do with music, movies, etc.  Necole bitchie's

blog is strictly an entertainment blog, with the hottest gossip from what's going on right now with everything and everybody. I love reading her blog, and I'm kind of addicted to it at this point. My bestfriend Bianca put me on a few months ago, and from looking at what she writes about, it makes me think I could totally do this in life. And her blog isn't just a regular blog either. She has sponsors and advertising on her page, so she makes money as she's writing, which is the best part. After looking into her blog, I was checking out Vibe.com and ajc.com, and I noticed that they have bloggers on their online webpage as well. This had me so excited because that means that I could work for Vibe blogging about my ideas just like I do now, with more entertainment news of course. And, it makes it perfect because I have had this blog and written in it religiously for the the past couple of months so I easily have something to show them for possibly internships, etc. We'll see how this goes, it just sort of had me happy for a minute to know that this could be my career, and I would totally be in love with it. 

Twilight

Today Amanda and I had a little girls day out. We did some shopping, got food, and went to the movies. I heard a lot of hype about this new movie Twilight so I really wanted to see it, but Amanda wasn't as convinced. But, I have to say that her mind was quickley changed as the movie started. I loved it, and it's already number one in the box office, with it debuting just this past weekend. Apart from the "token black guy", and the main characters been ridiculously pale, it was superb. It's a story about a vampire (edward) and a regular human (bella) falling in love, and  edward having to fight off the bad vampires from killing her. It's so cute and romanttiiiiiiccc :]. So, after I got home from the movies, best believe I was on barnes & noble.com ordering the book series. There are 4 books right now, and I ordered 2 of them, simply because I cannot wait another some odd months for the next movie to come out. Call me impatient, but I don't care. This movie was bomb, and hella romantic, and all that good stuff. I never thought a vampire movie could be anything other than kind or scary and gross. I heard the book is even better than the film, so I'm well on my way to comparing the two, just as soon as my books are shipped to me!

*peaceeee out*

For Life.

Have you ever had this one person in your life that you could fully rely on, no matter what? A person that was just like you, but completely different at the same time? Someone who you could just call up and be like, "let's go out", and whatever ya'll end up doing, it's like the best night ever?

Arielle Andres
18
Rockwall, Texas

I've known Arielle since I was a freshman in high school. We had the same Geography teacher I think. Anyways, we were always really cool, but not at that "bestfriends" status. Until one day, I decided I was madly in love with her and could not have her out of my life ever. (lol) Arielle is the one person that is completely up for whatever, like really. We are both so broad minded with everything, that there really are no limits to what we call fun. ha. We love to party, and yes, we party well. I love my bestfriend more than anything in the world, and being away from her can be really frustrating because I don't have a friend like her down here. She is one of a kind, and I can always call her to talk about stuff, and when she doesn't answer the phone, I leave mean meannn voice messages, but always end up saying I LOVE YOU! at the end before hanging up. Lol.
Basically, she is everything I would want my bestfriend to be. A hella fun chick I can kick it with on a regular basis and never get sick of, who knows how to have fun! I want to say we were together almost everyday this summer, even after she had surgery on her shoulder, we were still together.. well, I was taking care of her drugged up ass and watched movies and ate like fat kids. no biggie. It's a bestfriends thing, and no one really needs to understand the magnitude of our relationship but us. Because we are some cool ass females, and until the end of time will chant "LONG HAIR DONT CAREEEEE" haaa.

Shady?

I don't really know what it is about friends, but when you stop being friends with one person, does that really mean that you can't be friends with their family still? Does that mean that all communication that you once had with her brother and sister and mother and father has to cease? Even if you were really good friends with her sister and brother as well as her, why does that mean that they have to delete you out of their life as well? It's not like I was the reason why we stopped being friends initially in the first place. I guess those are just the rules I will never understand. i always wonder if I'm ever back home and i see an old friend that i no longer talk to, or am cool with at all. What would I do? Am i supposed to say Hi and be all excited to see them, even when they did me so dirty just one year ago? I mean i have forgiven this person, but not until way after we stopped being bestfriends. And i wonder what would happen if I saw her sister, or brother one day randomly.. Would they speak to me? Even though I am not cool with their sibling, but did nothing to them, I believe they would still ignore me? But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I suppose I'll find out when i see them one day.

Thinking about all this only makes me wish my life were so much simplier. Sometimes i wish I was still bestfriends with her, it makes me think my life would be better, to have her as my bestfriend again. But then i think of why we are not friends anymore, and remember that my life wasn't super dandy when we were friends. Not saying she didn't make my life better, because she did. She was a hella fun and outgoing person who I LOVE TO DEATH, even now. But having her in my life always drew up complications with my family, because my mother did not like her nor think I should hang out with her because she was too "wild"? I still think that is bullshit, because I am pretty wild myself, but oh well.

Who knows if my life would be better if we were still besties. I guess I will just have to continue to wonder. All I know now is that where i am at in this point in life, is where i need to be. I'm working, in school, pursuing my goals, and trying to make my mother proud of me. That's all I can do, and that is all i am really worried about right now. All the other social issues going on are not for me, so I try not to stress them!

Let go, Let flow! ha

Thanksgiving Blues.

:[ This will be the first year since forever that I will not be with my family for the Thanksgiving Holidays. It's kind of depressing since I have not been home since August, and I miss my ma and doggies. Oh yea, my brother too :].

My brother goes to TSU in Houston and is working down there and just can't get off work to come to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with me and my ma, so she decided that we would just go to Houston and have Thanksgiving with him. Hmmm, I hated that idea. I was ready to go home to Dallas to see all of my bestfriends, and some old boo's that love me so much lol. But now since my ma is just going to Houston, I might as well just stay here in Atlanta and work over the holiday, so I can go home longer over xmas break and not have to work the day after xmas. Sounds like a better plan to me.... But now, I have to wait another MONTH before I see my bff Arielle, and my ma and brother and doggies. :[ poop. I wish I had more than just ONE cousin out here to connect with.

Oh well, I'm just going to spend Thanksgiving with my girl Amanda and her family that stay down here, and they love me, so it should be great none the less. No worries and no complaining, I'll be back home in no time. And as long as I'm getting my money, I'm happy!!!

Which reminds me, I def. got paid today. Feels good to have money in the bank. haa Now all I need is some food in my stomach and it will be a successful Friday, besides the fact that I have mounds of work to finish this weekend for my classes next week. Time to get on the schoolwork and stop the blogging for today.

Peace babiies.
Have a great weekend.

Why So Serious?

I don't know if anyone else feels the same way as me about the newest Batman movie.. well, it's not really new anymore, but I still get the chills when people even talk about Heath Ledgers roll as the Joker. This movie to me is like when The Passion of the Christ came out. I can only see it once, anymore than that and I just can't take it. Heath Ledger played that role to the T, and it freaked me out the entire time. There was something like demonic about it, personally. I remember hearing about Jack Nicholson talking to Heath before the movie came out, how he was telling him to really think about it before being put in a situation like that, because even Jack was somewhat traumatized by the role. I can totally see why people said that it was hard for Heath to get out of character after they said cut. And it makes sense to me why he pretty much went off the deep end even after the movie wrapped.

It didn't help my fear of Joker to see on Halloween everyone dressed up as him either. I guess I can't really explain it, but the whole movie just didn't sit right with me, not even now! Maybe I'm just being a girl, but that shit aint no joke, and it really freaked me out when I was watching him in the movies. lol Oh well, like him if you want, but I swear if Heath Ledger were given another chance to take on a role like that, I want to say that he would've denied it, it would've saved his life. no lies.




you can't tell me this dude don't scare the sugar outta you!

someday

We'll be together.
i loveeeeeee love songs... MmM makes me actually want a relationship, for a split second. ha
John Legend knows how to make some music I can listen to 24/7. I have no single preference for music, if it's good, it's good. And I like good music. and I loveeee john legend. get it boy.

New Album: Evolver IN STORES NOW. cop that.. i already have

Ive always liked Solange.

Solange new video T.O.N.Y is madd deep. i was thinkin somethin totally different the whole video, but at the end i got it. finally lol ur gonna be like.. OHHHH i get it. ha check it out.

It's whatever I like.

So anyone that knows me, is aware that I am madly in love with Pharrell. No, I really love this dude. Not only is he such a studmuffin, but his swagg is madd ridiculous, which is just oh so sexayyyy to me. ha. Not to mention the skillz he's got with hit songz under his belt. N.E.R.D is the bomb, and I'm constantly looking for new songs that are just amazing.. it's not too had to find. ha But N.E.R.D are really known for havin crazy unusual but bombbb ass beats, which ultimately make the song all together. So, I have to share with you a few songs that are just well, favs. of the moment.







love bomb will always be a fav. of mines. Doesnt he jus sound sooooo sexayyy on this track! haaaa





And now how could I not like this song? do i really even love you? or do i really love your brain? i just love your brains. ha

Basically, In search of the n.e.r.d album is amazing, and their mixtape return on the nerd are on repeat. get with it i guess!

Other than my obsession with Pharrell, Nina Sky is back on it these days, if you haven't heard their song curtain call with rick ross.. I need you to get it together!Nina Sky's songs are way more appealing to the female gender, so all the dudes listenin like huh? just let ya chick listen, she'll be feelin it.



and if you thought this was a one time only thing wit ross.. have a lil more faith in the talent of these ladies. duh.



alright. i think im done for now. I must admit, i listen to music more than i watch tv. well, except for my select few shows.

SHOUT OUT TO LOU! he's my faithful blog reader and i appreciate it oh so much!
Bet imma have a hard hitting blog posted real soon, but until then, just love on this strictly music post.

peace outttttt.

spice it up a bit.

I changed up my hair recently. Got me a lil bang action going on. I think it's a keeper. For now, until I decide something new to do with my hair. There are no limits!

Its here.

Change is here. I am really eager to see what Obama has in store for the citizens of the United States in the duration of his term in office. I believe that nothing but good things will come out of America's decision, and I pray that Obama will change the minds of the people who were not supporting him from the get. I am not saying that this nation will go from the bottom of the todam pole to the top overnight, but I truly believe Barack will have something to do significantly with the success of this country, or at least with the start of success.

OBAMA '08

we have overcome today.

Oh yea, and best believe I will be at President Obama's inauguration in Jan. PEEP ME!

<3

just a quick post.
I'm pretty sure that I have been in love with Aubrey Graham aka Jimmy... aka Drake, since he had a nappy confused fro in the Canadian tv show Degrassi.

I've been hearing his music for a min., only because duh, I was totally stalking him. MmM.. maybe not that extreme, but you understand.

Anyways, I know everyone has heard his music, because he's linked up with wayne on a few tracks like Ransom, and the Brand New remix. My personal favorite track of Drake's, which doesn't even feature wayne.. is Sooner than later. checccck it outtt.
