Why has the Queen been M.I.A???

Wow...its been like a million years since i posted!!! Shame on me....I really had intentions on being consistent with this blog, but I guess those intentions kinda fell by the waist side. I'm not entirely to blame though. My laptop is going through some serious growing pains right now......lol. Its not freakin working(story of my life). But aside from that all is well!! I'm trying to enjoy this break before the next semester starts. Its not exactly what I expected it to be ,but hey who's complaining. Anywho...this isn't gonna be a long post....just felt the need to post something. I promise the next post will be way more interesting than this!!

i feel so pretty today...wish i had a camera to take pictures.....lol...until next time....

truth

"When a woman is assertive and adamant about what she wants, she's totally branded a bitch, difficult, hard to work with, or whatever the case may be. You know what? Ill take it. Call me a bitch, call me whatever, it doesn't matter. What it all boils down to is when the day is over I'm still walking away with what it is I came in there to get."

Uggghhh!!!

Cant wait til finals are over.....IMMA BE OUT DIS B*TCH!!!!! LOL

The Suitemates from Hell!!!!

I absolutely hate living with other people....especially when the people I live with are absolute fckin pigs!! Growing up I used to hate when my mother made us wake up early every Saturday to clean up the house. I was convinced that every Friday night a demon took control of her body just to terrorize me and my sister the next morning.I was convinced that I was suffering a cruel and unusual punishment since nobody else I knew had to endure this every freakin weekend.While everybody looked forward to sleeping in late on their weekends I was dreading waking up to the smell of bleach and a deranged high yella black woman hovering over my bed.It wasn't til I moved out that I began to appreciate what my mother was trying to instill in me. This basic principle that I like to call "GET YO ASS UP CUZ U AINT GOT NO DAMN MAID SERVICE ROUND HERE" is a lesson that I think all kids(especially girls) should learn growing up. Maybe if my suitemates parents taught this course at home I wouldnt be here fuming over how nasty these heffas are.Not only have I been cleaning up after 3 other chicks but I have also had to add one of their boyfriends to the list of nasty ass kids. I don't understand how u cannot see the garbage spilling over or all the shit in the sink. I'm guessing when u got yo stankin ass up off the toilet seat you forgot that the little handle stickin' off to the side was there for you to FLUSH!!!Like really?? Did i miss the "dirty is the new clean" memo??

So yesterday I cleaned up everything(as usual)and posted this nice little note on the door. It reads as follows:

"Your habits are a reflection of you.... CLEAN UP AND PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF!!!

I also took the liberty of including a little picture of a maid with a caption that read "unfortunately we don't have one of these".
Lets just say that they were not to happy about that and we ended up having a house meeting because apparently some people's feelings were hurt(not that I care). So basically we now have a rotating schedule for cleaning. Lets see how long this last.



Anywho...tomorrow is my last day here before thanksgiving break.THANK U GOD!!!!! I get a break from this boring ass school and these nasty heffas(yea i said it...again)for a few days.Lord knows I need a break!!!
PEACE!!

The White Beauty Myth

So a couple of days ago I stumbled upon this documentary on WSHH that kinda caught my attention. First of all any body who really knows me knows that I'm always interested in things race related especially when it has something to do with my people. This particular video, however,was a little troubling to me. Here we have three different people, all of different ethnic backgrounds who through one way or another wish to be more white. The one that hit home the most for me of course was the black woman. She basically equated all of her black features(wide nose andHAIR) to being low class, dirty, and ugly.Throughout the video all she kept saying is how she wanted a more "European look" so that she could fit into her more "European lifestyle".She felt that by getting a fckin nose job that all her problems as a BLACK WOMAN would be somehow magically wiped away with this WHITER, MORE BETTER NOSE!!I could rant on and on about how ridiculous and sad this video was...but I'm not. What i will say is I think its crazy that so many people feed into this euro centric idea of beauty. Then they turn around and conform to it. If you feel so bad about being put down because of your race why in the hell would u buy into it? Ur only passing on this self hate. Why change your nose, why bleach your skin, why? No matter what you do there will always be something else holding u back. U know what I say? I say fck any and everybody who tells me that there is something wrong with my kinky hair or my wide nose and full lips.Why the hell would I run myself broke and crazy by attempting to get a nose that the creator gave someone else when he/she equally gave me my own damn nose. I think its time that people start making there own definitions of what beauty is. Why would everybody wanna be the same? Why not celebrate the things that make us different...the things that make us beautiful and unique.
Anyways...here is the video. It is a bit graphic. I had to turn my face away from the screen during these procedures



I also caught another episode of it today.This one is slightly different but it still deals with people feeling the need to conform to a more western or European look.


Unlike the first video I can somewhat empathize with the black woman in this video. I have a cousin who underwent the breast reduction surgery and just like this woman she had very large breast. My cousin decided to do it because she was having very bad back pains. However I don't understand why this lady kept mentioning Victoria Beckham. Honey both of u are at opposite extremes in the looks department. You will never look like her. There isn't enough plastic surgery in the world sweetheart. Be content with the reduction and happy with the life the creator gave you.

Yaaaaaay

Havent done one of these things since my Xanga days back in 04. Im super excited about all the corney things im gonna write here. I gotta learn all this stuff over again. EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
