Intoxication, Interviews, and Inquiries.

Life post-high school graduation has been interesting, indeed.  As I still await an answer on Tumblr for my question for Frank Ocean (an answer that I believe I won’t be getting), life has not ceased to continue.  I experienced my first night club hopping—a night that was not at all short of surprises.  The gay club was PURE FUN.  Dance and techno mixes were pumping all night.  We had many run-ins with drunken, enthusiastic club rats eager to waist-grab and hip-grind against us.  I can’t even begin to describe that night.  On another note, I’m on the hunt for a nice, temporary job—it’s summer and the family is moving soon (finally).  So many places hiring…so many chances to either be turned down or turned up. Nothing would have me more turned up right now than a nice, fat paycheck

"'SMH' @ Facebook Beef"

Found this funny (and mostly true) list of things not to do on Facebook.  This post is inspired by recent Facebook beef and other silly things I have seen on the site.   This post has been edited at my discretion. (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=217653181956) to see the whole post.


1) If i have to hide you on my homepage because you update your status every 5 minutes, there is a problem.

2) DO NOT CONVERSATE WALL TO WALL ! nobody cares about your conversation. get a cell phone.

3) Do not post your number on your status, i will prank call you..

4) Do not contradict your statuses, ex: (insert trey songz nasty quote) and then have a quote about God next.

5) Do not put your titties out on your profile picture

6) WHY IS YO MIDDLE NAME MORE THAN 20 LETTERS consisting of stupid stuff like, (the baddest) (nikki minaj) (harajuku barbie) (stupid symbols) etc..

7) You should not have 15 brothers and sisters, 8 kids, and 3 parents -_-

8) Do not use blingie to edit your pics

9) Dont wear the same outfit in all your pictures.. 

12) Please use letters, not symbols and numbers while typing.

14) .iyf yuuoh taypee; lykee dhiss* -......

16) If your page consists of people asking "do i know you" there is a problem

19) Bullying and talking shit on facebook is stupid.

25) Dont post depressing ass statuses every minute of your life....

26) Don't be having those pic group photos and try to say you're the buff one on the right, when you're really the fat one in the middle.

47) This is FACEBOOK not TWITTER !

48) Why do you look nothing like your profile picture?

51) Don't change your eye color in your photos.

52) Don't make your name something stupid like "Lapaprika 'bahdaxsbitch' Jones"

55) Don't suck in your stomach in your pictures tryna show something you don't have.

57) Don't lie on picture comments. Everybody knows that picture is absolutely hideous, not "cute<33"

58) If someone likes your status, dont reply on it and tell them thank you.

60) Pokemon, car, celeb, etc profile pictures are the definition of UBER FAIL.

61) Dont change your relationship status everyday knowing damn well you have NOBODY!

62) if i get tagged in one more shout out video, im going to scream. 20 minute video consisting of "uhms" and "ahs" along with 800thousand notifications from TWO people.

64) this is fb, not myspacee. we dont not "own" pics, or ask people to tag you in something if you like it. -__

Dormtainment's Home....indeed.

I've always said that my favorite followers/friends on Twitter are the people I wish I could have gone to high school with. This much is true, but what I'm about to blog about added several people to that wishlist.

The other day, I came across a funny video on Facebook...which led me to another funny video parody...which led me to the #Dormtainment YouTube channel.  

It was comedy at first sight.  I sat and watched videos and videos from that channel. 

I'm convinced that this is love.

There is no proper way for me to introduce the comedy group known as Dormtainment to those of you who don't know.  This "Creative. College. Comedy" group was established as a result of some guys bull[bleep]ing.      

 Some nice looking, educated, humorous young men just having fun.  So without further ado (and before I totally, TOTALLY ruin this introduction), I present to you #Dormtainment.  The following video is not even the beginning of what you will see from these guys.

Sure, I'm a pig; but the ladies wanna have their babies, the guys wanna roll with 'em, and there's no doubt that they all think they are just straight up funny. Their videos will have you doing "the Washing Machine" and re-thinking how you greet others.

It's time to Rip The Runway!

"Pull my hair out, I'll buy some more."


Yes, Selita Ebanks just said that.... *BBM "raised eyebrow" face*


Tonight, the 2011 Rip The Runway BET special aired.  The hosts this year were none other than the sexy Selita Ebanks and Mehcad Brooks.  The stage was graced by fashions by Rachel Roy, Aldo, Louboutin, and many more.  Artists to perform included Lloyd, Melanie Fiona, Keri Hilson, Fabulous, and other famous faces.  The show itself brought the usual high energy, technicolor vibe enjoyable for the BET audience.  While this is all dandy, I must say I'm a bit disappointed in the styling of several lines.  It seems as if there was a lot of cliché to cancel out the chic; there was a lot of plain and not enough #POW. Then again, I can see where looks were put together to appeal to the urban audience.  The lines were (for the most part) "ready to wear".  I really liked the Quan Smith line (with Miguel rocking the stage and an appearance from some familiar #ANTM faces).

Miss Keri, Baby! I've got some shoes just like that...

Lloyd looks good. Period.

The graceful Selita Ebanks.

What can I say? I have a secret crush on the Wiz.

I knew I'd do this...

Sooooo... it seems every time I find a new hobby/project to work on, I start to neglect it. Hence the absence from my blog. Which is pretty unknown at this point anyway. But anyway....In the past ten days or so I've found some blogworthy things like:

• Tyra Banks' name change
• The ten year anniversary of Daft Punk's album "Discovery" ( :D )
• More Chris Brown OMG Moments
• and etc.

Of course those are the stand out topics. But the next post is about something I've got to share for those who have not yet seen it (much like me days ago).

Chris Blonde!

Okay..I HAD to post this as soon as I found out.

Chris Brown has dyed his hair blonde.

*BBM "omg" face*

So C-Breezy has dropped a Twitbomb on us just weeks before his album "F.A.M.E" (Fans Are My Everything) is dropped.  Earlier today, @chrisbrown Twitpic-ed a little surprise to his followers.  Of course there have been negative and irrationally negative responses and criticism. Of course. Chris has a lot of haters, doubters, and Negative Nancys.  Not to mention the people who just aren't feeling it.

What do y'all think?

In my honest opinion...honestly...I had a pretty positive reaction. That is, after the shock factor left.  I say it's...HOT (may be biased).

Hate it or love it, he done did it!

Fun day today...

I am ultimately WORN OUT...but I had to post something! Got some amazing news for the next post; but until then, a little treat/history lesson I came across on YouTube :D   ~ENJOY~

/\/\ /\ Y /\ shows out...again!

"M.I.A!..You know who I am!"  Sri Lankan blood, London born, the exotic beauty known as M.I.A has once again hit...and hit hard.  Known for her political messages, electric beats, and rhythmic vocals, this rapper released her album /\/\ /\ Y /\ in July 2010 (yes, almost a year ago).  I had been meaning to check out the album as soon as I heard of its release, but I hadn't listened until my purchase. I went to an electronics store, eager to score some great music.  I found a couple of John Mayer albums I don't have, Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, and other tempting CDs.  I chose some much anticipated releases though, MGMT's Congratulations, the Tron Legacy soundtrack (score created by one of my first loves, Daft Punk!) and "Maya".  Yes, I paid a few extra bucks for the special edition "Maya", but I'd say it was worth it.  As soon as I took a listen, I gravitated toward the following tracks:

• Track 2: Steppin Up: With a hard hitting beat that makes you wanna dance, the sound of power tools may surprise, but in no way could annoy.
• Track 3: XXXO:  Seductive sound with pop appeal, this song has underlying messages.  Once you see the video, you can't deny your love for this track.
• Track 16:  CAPS LOCK:  Something about this slow track and simple bass makes a serene mind state.  M.I.A's chill rapping and effortlessly cool vocals makes this song a good ending note.

This is my first M.I.A album that I actually own (#dontjudgeme), but I've been a fan for some years now.  If you like the quirky, almsot genre-less sound of this artist, I do suggest this one. Gotta love the album artwork also! Check out the video for "XXXO" below, I automatically got the concept and graphic use. Too clever.

Tyra fans, rejoice! Today marks the return of America's Next Top Model, this cycle being number 16! I'm going to be watching partly saddened by the fact that I couldn't try-out for Cycle 17 (*BBM sad face*), but also glad to be viewing the fashion world's favorite judges once again. Upon hearing about the new season (barely heard today!), I realized that I hadn't done any follow up on the last cycle's winner, Ann Ward. She was a Cycle 16 favorite, and I hope to see her work-work-working it all over the fashion world! The commercial previews are exciting and enticing (as always), and it appears that we have a sultry group of young ladies this time around! #ANTM
