Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. Hopefully we'll take more time from our lives [other than just today] to recognize the things we're thankful for. Sounds crazy, but I can't think of one thing I'm not thankful for. Even the bad things that happen in life, they're there to teach us life lessons. I hope everyone has a great break and comes back with full tummies. :)

Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y the hotspitta coming to Richmond Dec. 5 for meet n' greet & T-shirt sale at Henry's and then in club Rendezvous for the night. I'm in thereeee!

Breaking Hiatus

Though I've been missing lately, during my hiatus I've come to realize many things.

Before there was "Bro's before hoes, there was "Family first".


My taste is quite expensive, yet im a slight penny pincher. So when I do purchase, its a splurge. And shoppers remorse is non-existent.
I'm on team Jacob after all. hm! built tan werewolfs over scrawny pasty vampires anyday. lol clearly.


I no longer have girlfriends. =/ I have a couple close friends who I spend solitary time with but nothing like Sex in the City, or where ever else you see typical female empowerment girl talk.

Manny Solo Dolo


A lot of people kiss ass to be on television. Like, a lot of these stupid reality shows we get sucked into. "I wanna work for Diddy"? The job would be nice but I'm not kissing your butt to become successful. No thanks. And I've seen RayJ in person like 3 different times. I don't think he's that much of a charmer to make me lose my dignity. Screw you, Brandy's brother!
[yes im going in a bit!]

You CANT ignore dental checks just because you don't want to wake up for 8:30am walk ins & don't want to pay $80 standard fee. My wisdom tooth is growing and it is evil. I think its infected or something. Better not affect my Thanksgiving.

Speaking of Thanksgivings, my mom is vegetarian [what my brother calls the lesbian of food..no offense to my mom tho] now and my brother has plans with his girlfriend so, it looks like if I want a turkey, I'm gonna have to handle it myself! Along with all the buttery cholesteroly goodness Thanksgiving promises. Might be a little better than last year when mom's dinner conversation was discussing the massacre of the Native Americans and our glutenous tradition to celebrate it. Ehhh :/


My love for foreign flicks returned after Jabari & I stumbled upon "Black Opheus". This movie had me weak in the knees. Such a sweet story. Maybe i'll rent "the Science of Sleep" over break. Or watch "Amelie" with my mom while we sip on her machine made cappuchinos. mmmm

Bambino is growing up right before my eyes! {my pet bamboo}


& Best for last: I think I'm really starting to fall for him. He's become so relevant in my life; my new best friend & he gives me tea when im feeling ill. =) awh love.



Forgive the negative tone of this post but its 2:37am. My brother is coming to pick me up for Thanksgiving break in the morning and I have yet to pack. But as always, you, my blog, have priority. <3

I'm Good - Clipse x Pharrell

This song could be my theme music for a while.

Wishlist

So with the holidays comes an expected sense of giving and wanting. We act as if we deserve gifts , I'm not so sure why but it gets a little expensive. My brother warned me if i go to New York for Thanksgiving break to avoid WalMarts so I won't get trampled in the raging shoppers. So I was looking around, online window shopping and came across this lovely little Betsey Johnson lipstick sweater dress. So as tradition goes, I need this in my life!

40 Oz. Bounce

5th 40oz bounce held in Brooklyn on Black Friday. Hosted by 40 oz. Van . Herb friendly & free 40oz.'s while supplies last. lol

Chapter 5 Section 2

I was googling images like usual and came across this blogspot. Found some of the most intriguing pictures.

Popular Demand - Clipse x Cam'ron

This is getting much blog love, web-wide. Thought I'd hop on the band wagon a little bit and show some love for Virginia rappers. Though I prefer their older music to this, their still at it so I'm giving them kudos.

No Stress - Justess

After my brother saw the "Stress"-Justice video [6 blog posts down], he sent me this parody of it. It's more of the lighter side of stress. A litte less reckless, and a bit more fun. I guess you could still call it intense if you like, lol. It's kinda funny actually. This would definitely be my version because I'm the friendly type.Enjoy!

Holy Water To Go

In response to the Swine flu epidemic [if you want to call it that], inventor Luciano Marabese, with help of Italian Catholic churches, created Holy water dispensers to eliminate the chance of spreading the flu to those who come in contact with holy water, as it is often used. With no surprise, other churches began to follow suit as they began removing their old Holy water fonts and replacing them with the new dispensers. What's interesting is 15 Swine flu deaths in Italy caused a major change. It makes me question what drastic changes the States would be willing to change. Maybe they should start making personal bubbles so we can't come in contact with others. Or maybe we could just do everything from the safety of our home. That's kinda like the movie Surrogates. hmm. I hope not because I like people lol. Anyway, check that out. People are making efforts against that swiiiiine.

The Arrival

The Jimmy Choo's have finally been released at H&M! Yay for retail-addiction!

MTV Diary of N.E.R.D

MTV Diary of... N.E.R.D from Adrian Hylton on Vimeo.

Its about time! N*E*R*D, my favorite group everrrr has been making music for almost a decade now [2001] and its about time their story is being told. I'm probably gonna watch this like 1243091281 time and more. Two of my favorite things. N*E*R*D [Pharrell in particular] & Documentary. Yummm. It was already released in the UK, so its old news but still. Who can resist? I can't!


ps> To all the 757 residents who tell about running into them at the beach or through their towns, I'm quite envious. thanks.

"Kids" - Larry Clark

So, despite the terrible, crappy fall/winter weather monsoon occurring outside, I made it to my long lost psychology class. Lucky for me, today my professor showed us a movie. We discussed Larry Clark's film "Kids" about a bunch of sex-crazed kids discovering the wonders and consequences of unsafe sex. Sounds like a bunch of bad ass kids right? Well in class we discussed the psyche of Clark himself as he decided to use kids with no acting experience to portray these roles. Clark claims that he was documenting these kids but we questioned it because he had the power of what he wanted to film. To film these soft-porn actions of these kids is kinda strange on his part. But anywho, I've heard a lot about this movie from friends with good movie sense and they told me it was weird and I just had to see it for myself. Very harsh film. Watch if you get the oppurtunity.

High Yellow

Sammy Sosa pulled an M.J ??

Stress- Justice

My dude showed me this video late one night. It's intense. The song and video kind of leave you feeling uneasy. But Romain Gavras did a great job on making this. Enjoy!

The Wait is Over

So, its November and its finally that time. I've been hyping it up for some time now but its here! Jimmy Choo x H&M to be released. M.I.A is also back as she performed for the release party. She looks good after her pregnancy. Hoping to hear new music from her. But anywho, SHOES! Now the modern college kid can afford the Jimmy Choo's. :] I'm excited to go shopping now, but all of this after I get back from Atlanta. YES! We don't want to blow all of our money in one place do we?

Hooray For Lupe

YEEEEES! Finally he's putting out new music. Its kind of like a tease though! Fans have been waiting and even the slightest freestyle is giving us hope that he's on his way back to educating us with his rhymes. Apparently he's performing at ODU this weekend [i think] and this is going to be the 2nd time I've missed his show. And that's fine. No, but really, Lupe, you can't leave us hanging forever like that. Keep the consistency! We miss you!

The Uproar for the Evening

Since we're in Virginia and Petersberg is right up the street, I suppose its a given we're going to like Trey Songz. He's like our neighbor, right! Guys and girls like his music here. I guess he's a likable kinda guy. And apparently he's lickable too. His "I Invented Sex" video leaked and its causing a lot of feelings in the ladies. lol Songz, Songz, Songz. For you out there who can't handle it, its a tad bit X-Rated so that was your fair warning. lol I know that girl enjoyed playing that role. Sheeeeeesh! K, enjoy!

Hey Hot Shot

Hotshot is my word for the day. Yes, its study time again, the time where all my thoughts are aroused and I start to think of everything BUT what I should be focusing on, which is now International Globalization [uuggh!]. But anyhow < Today I realized a lot of things. I think I'm going through a Barbie phase. It seems that the ugly cold world is full of cute things. And for some reason this almost 2 decade year old is intrigued by cute things. I think its the way my mother raised me but yes. My boyfriend showed me the GOOGLE for the day, which was Big Bird:



I love big bird! Who doesn't love over sized, banana colored, full of moral pigeons? Plus, he makes me think of my dad. Don't ask how, just childhood memories I suppose. It happens.

Anyways, we had a Jewish guest speaker in class and I realized how much I love active teachers. Today was the first day the whole class stayed. Usually the routine is: quiz, roll, break, leaaave [halfway through class]. Our teacher is a sweetheart but you have to keep it interesting lady. She's cute though. She tries. And our guest speaker was cute because she played on stereotypes and even made a reefer joke.

I went on a Following-Spree today. Found a bunch of Cali kids with ill photography. Sooo yeah. Lots of love for you bloggers out there.
Ahhh I have had my shopping list from Topshop up for 2 days. Starting to develop a shopping problem. I know I can't take it with me, as they say. But man I'm ballin for a college student. Maybe I should buy groceries instead? Nahhh

I'm going to Atlanta this weekend! Just have to knock out tomorrows classes and I'm out like trout! Also, I got invited to go to Thanksgiving in New York to watch the Macy's Day Parade and eat great! But I'm torn because thats sacrificing my time with my little family. Still deciding though. Mom has gone on a health nut phase and now I'm wondering if she'll even make the regular Turkey, stuffing, everything you can think of goodness?? We're gonna be eating ToFurkey. :/ hmmm...

Okay so this post is beginning to ramble on. If you read through the entire thing, I thank you. If not....well suck ya mooma! Clearly I date an islander. Well later loves. Off to the academics.

Better words coming soon, i promise!
