Octomom Argues W/Her Mom

Does this bother anyone else? How rude of her to not even listen to the person who has given up her life to care for her daughter and now 14 grandchildren. How embarrassing... She won't listen to reason.. She makes me sick... If she is so disrespectful to her own mother what kind of mother will she be?

Displaced Anger

Have you ever had displaced anger? Perfect example of this is today when my daughter asked if she can ride her bike. She hadn't washed the dishes like she was supposed to and there was obvious disagreement when I told her that she couldn't ride it. She even gave a huff noise and a roll of the eyes. I said, "I hope that the anger that you are showing right now is directed at yourself for not doing the dishes instead of at me for telling you that you can't ride your bike because of it." It was a statement, not a question. I've had several problems with this myself which is why I'm not totally surprised that she reacted that way. But still, I'm not going to be at the receiving end of a blow up if I'm not the cause. Comments?

Weave Stops Bullet!!


Yep, you read that right! Weave stops bullet! Lawd! Got to be more careful! She needs to thank her hair dresser and the guy for using such a pitiful gun that can't even penetrate a (badly done) weave. How embarrassing for her/us! I couldn't help but laugh, not that being shot in the head is in anyway funny, but c'mon!!! Anyway, comment if you want or wait until a more pressing story is posted... hahaha

Satire or Offensive?


I know I’m not the only one in the U.S. that sees something wrong with this and it really struck me this morning as I was watching the news that Americans really still think of black people like monkeys… What a sad thing… Even with a biracial president, we are still not as far as we should be. How embarrassing it is to live here sometimes… It’s no wonder that we Americans have such issues in this country if we can’t even get passed what is on the outside of people.. We’ll never reach deeper than that to figure out how people think, what’s in their minds, if we can never get passed the outside. The package someone is in does not make that person who they are. I guess with the hate that some people have, it does tend to have an influence if everything on the outside is constantly part of negative conversation.

The argument that was given this morning on the news was that the artist was trying to merge the killing of the monkey that I blogged about yesterday to the Stimulus Package. You and I both know that is not the truth. What in the hell does the monkey from yesterday’s post have to do with the Stimulus Package?

So I ask you your opinion on this… Satire or Offensive? You know my answer, what’s yours?

Potpourri

There’s a couple of things that have been on my mind lately that I will place all on one post.. Call it lazy or what have you, but this bizness has to get out of my system:

Solange vs. Nyquil and the winner is (insert drum roll here) NYQUIL! It has been reported that Solange Knowles (the OTHER Knowles sister) was hospitalized due to a Nyquil overdose. WHAT?! Nyquil PILLS no less! I didn’t even know Nyquil made pills – but whateva! Okay, how do you overdose on Nyquil? I think the girl will do anything to get her name in the headlines, won’t she?!

200 Pound Chimp MAULS Woman – Okay, yes that is what that headline said. Apparently, the chimp had been in both Coke and Old Navy commercials. A Famous Chimp – anywho it got out of its cage and the owner’s friend came over to assist her with coaxing it back home when the chimp began to attack the woman. The owner ran into the house, grabbed a knife and began stabbing the chimp in order to save the woman! The chimp was later shot dead by the po po. It was later mentioned the chimp had Lyme disease and the medications could’ve had an effect on the chimp. How about being caged up and finally set free again made him realize that FREE is what he should’ve been in the first place! I heard about this story on the radio this morning on the way in to work. People were calling in furious at the radio hosts for laughing at the situation. WHY would anyone have a 200 lb chimp or any wild animal as a pet in their home anyway?

Suge Knight’s Beat Downs – Wassup with Suge Knight and WHY does he keep getting his ass whopped? This time he sustained broken bones in his face. I’m still mad at him for Tupac being killed so maybe I’m partial to want to fight him myself….

Lady Kidnapped and Placed in Diaper – Okay, now you really think I’m trippin’! No, this is an actual story! The lady was kidnapped, held in handcuffs and placed in a diaper for 3 days! She ended up escaping, but when she was found she was only in a t-shirt, diaper and handcuffs! I’m glad she got away but geez!

A-Rod and his Steroids - so what?! Am I the only one who really does not care? I guess maybe I would if I was into baseball, but even when the NFL’ers are found out about their steroids use, I still do not care. Not really… How else do we think these men get this size and get this great? Not by eating Campbell’s Soup or whatever soup that Donovan McNabb was eating on those commercials… Didn’t help him either this year did it?!

Roland Burris and his Senate Seat (or not his seat?) – I’m tired of hearing about this man. Now things are coming out about him and Blagojevich’s associations that they had with one another… Did we really think that these too didn’t have any dealings prior to Blago asking him or appointing him to this seat? Puhleaze! He was not being honest when he didn’t admit to being asked by Blago’s brother to assist with raising money for Blago’s campaign NOR did he admit that he actually tried to raise money but stopped after he was unproductive… Now people are asking that he resign… Nooooo, really?!

Nadya Suleman, “OCTOMOM” - as people so lovingly call her! I guess I’m the only one bothered by this sick person? What just kills me is that she already had 6 children, living at home with her parents, with NO JOB PRIOR to her having 8 more! What in the world?! Back in the day when picking cotton and working the fields for food and building homes for shelter with a wagon and horse buggies – MAYBE then I could understand having all those kids, but I just don’t get it! With no job and no way to support her kids she didn’t need 1 – but 14?! Why is this acceptable? She said that she isn’t on welfare, HELLO – food stamps are welfare! She said that she will lean on her family and volunteers to assist her with the kids… Who would volunteer? Also, it’s blatantly obvious that she’s had plastic surgery… Why not admit it? She looks like a dumb ass for not admitting it especially with the before and after photos all over the place. I guess she didn’t want to look stupid on TV for having work done on her face when she has all these kids at home that could’ve used that money instead.. TOO LATE!

Am I all alone in how I feel about these things? Can’t be! Respond if I am or if I’m not!

Chris Breezy and Rih Rih


When I first heard this, I admit, I was sad because my oldest daughter LOVES Chris Breezy. Her room is covered in his posters and she has all his CD’s. (I think we even have the CD’s that he is “featured” on.) I didn’t want to be the first person to tell her the news about him being like so many other men – an abuser. Is that harsh? Maybe, but until we hear all the facts – I guess I won’t change it until then. In this country, we are SUPPOSED to be innocent until PROVEN guilty – but doesn’t that all go out the window when you “turn yourself in”? Are you admitting to the guilt or turning yourself in so that they don’t have to LOOK for you anymore? I’m prone to believe the first although it may not be true.

My friend Gloria sent me the link above with the video of Chris on Tyra explaining that he knows how to treat women because when he was younger, he saw his own mother being abused and didn’t want to treat other women this way. WTF happened then, Chris? I know this is an older video, but you aren’t that old yourself so it couldn’t have been taped THAT long ago!

This subject is sensitive to a lot of people, including myself. I wasn’t going to write about it at all, but just because situations are sensitive doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be discussed. I’ve heard several people say that he “seems so sweet” or “he wouldn’t hurt Rih Rih”. We don’t know these people! Just because we buy their CD’s and watch them on TV, we must remember that we only know the person they WANT us to know. We don’t know how these people truly live or how they really think until something like this happens.

I must say that I am happy that he DID turn himself in, because I would be horrified if he started to hide and run from this situation. At least he is trying to take responsibility for his actions, but to me that doesn’t change the fact of what he ALLEGEDLY did. Rih Rih’s face will need time to heal and so does the hearts of all the young girls who he broke.

4 Year Old Dies in Washing Machine

Kayley Ishii climbed into the front loading washing machine and “apparently” her 15 month old brother started the machine. What’s gets me the most is that they reported that the controls were “20 inches from the floor and the start switch was a simple push button.” Could a 15 month old cut that on? Kayley was in the machine for at least 2 minutes before her mother found her. It had already begun to tumble including being filled with water! The police ruled her death as accidental. You all know me, I’m a skeptic… For some reason, I don’t think this was accidental. Number One, I don’t see a 15 month old reaching a button that was 20 inches off the floor. She then goes on to say that she didn’t know why she would climb into the machine – didn’t know if they were playing or what… You mean to tell me that a 4 year old doesn’t know not to touch the washing machine? They should at least know that it isn’t a toy. I don’t know I’ve always been the type to believe that there is foul play involved when I hear of someone passing away in a weird way.

I feel sorry for Kayley – what a horrible way to leave this Earth.

JHud's Rendition of the National Anthem

If you were unable to see Jennifer Hudson's rendition of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl yesterday, GO STEELERS, then I've placed it here for your viewing pleasure:


People are already saying that her performance compares to Whitney Houston's from back in the day. Quite frankly, to me it doesn't compare at all! Despite her emotional roller coaster that she's been on recently, it doesn't compare. She put her heart and soul into that song. I've also heard that it was pre-recorded. That doesn't bother me either. There are several performers who lip synch their entire concerts so her lipsynching here, doesn't bother me in the least! Go Jennifer!

I guess I should mention the game here too. It was GREAT! The touchdown in the last 35 seconds of the game was acrobatic! It always amazes me how these men are able to control their bodies and thrust themselves into the air without a care in the world. How was Holmes (I think it was him) able to point those toes on the way down and control the ball all at the same time? I have no clue - truly amazing!

As far as the Cardinals go, they aren't the cutest players in the NFL, but the "BEST BUTTS" award goes to the entire team especially to non-cute Larry Fitzgerald #11! I was impressed by them the entire season and congratulations on even making it this far!
