MAKING THE BAND 4: Let's make it happen


Yea! This show was hot! I'm going to be watching this on the regular! Here is my recap:

1. The boys can SING!! WHEW!! I'm already buying that album
2. D.Woods, Dawn and Shannon can sing
3. Abri is.... dare i say it.... too much/slutty. She needs to sit down
4. Diddy gets on my nerves. Those boys sounded good in the studio. He's making drama out of nothing. I think half of that crap is for tv. The other half is him trying to intimidate somebody. He needs to go sit down with Abri.
5. I think Qwanell and Will are some cool dudes.
6. I think Dawn and Q are cute. HOWEVER, don't mix business with pleasure.
7. Why does this have to be a competition. Why does it have to be THAT much stressful for them. GEEZ
8. If Diddy wasn't on the show, I'd still watch
9. The boyz need a group name. REGARDLESS, i'm still buying that album. That first song was so hott
10. I will be watching next week. 

That's my top 10 thoughts y'all. What did you think??

I admit it....I'ma, I'ma hustler



(Disclaimer: I'm in one of those moods were i'm proud of myself and excited about my future. Please excuse me if this post sounds haughty -- for lack of a better word. Many people have nurtured and believed in me. That and Jehovah are the source of my convictions and drive.. Now, let me get this KANYE WEST off my chest)

Y'all don't know my struggle. Y'all can't match my hustle. You can't catch my hustle. You can't fathom my love, dude."

(10 cents to the person who knows what song this is from)

Don't get it twisted now, I'm legit. But i'm still a hustler. I'm about to graduate college in 4 months and i'm on my grind. I've got a client that i'm doing a PR campaign for, Another company wants to be my client for some copy and PR work, and I just got an inquiry into some graphic design for a third company. But you know what's funny, I don't even have a business card yet, nonetheless a company. That's what you call a hustler.

Plus, they don't know it yet, but Perry Publishing and Broadcasting (yes, the people who hired me to write for The Black Chronicle) just found his newest PR intern too.

Yesterday I told me new mentor, "I just need someone to let me in the door because once they do watch out." YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CATCH ME. It might be in your best interst to keep me out if you want to make some money in the Entertainemnt, graphic design, magazine and PR field. I do it all.

You know how Kanye locked himself in his room doing five beats a day for three summers. I kept myself in Oklahoma learning EVERY aspect of any type of the mass communications business. I learned how to start a magazine from the business side. I learned how to write the features that go inside. I learned how to do graphic design with InDesign and Photoshop. Meaning, I can make anything from a party flyer to the 50 page spread in Vogue. I learned how to do PR Research, I learned how to coordinate a camapaign. I became the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of the largest step show in the Midwest with a $30,000 budget $45,000 in ticket sales alone and told Fonsworth Bently what to say on the stage. the hottest DJ in Houston just called my phone asking me if I could coordinate an event to bring Soldier Boy and dem (and dem, haha) to OKC last minute. I learned how to do press releases and brochures and fact sheets and issue ads. OH yea, I can make advertisments too!!! I know what a bleed is. Basically, whatever you need I CAN GET IT DONE, believe me.

Hate me if you want to, but in this business you got to believe you can do anything... and I can. I love this stuff. It's my passion. Wish me luck cuz i'm bout to take off.


Anybody want a ride????????

My Column

SO, it's Thursday, 3:18pm. You know where I am. Sociology class!!!! Ha Ha. Zuri said my senioritis is getting bad. She has no idea!!!

Today I had an interview with The Perry Broadcasting and Publishing Company for the newspaper, The Black Chronicle. I begin with the standard 30 day trail starting in January. I'm going to begin writing on the website. I can write about whatever I want but i can write if from whatever angle I want. My job? To foster controversy and community discussion. I am advised to write under and alias, which my public will never ever knooooowwww (lol). I'll be good at this. My demographic, African Americans age 18 - 35. If you guys come accross good issues with Black people in the community, send me over your ideas!!

My version of Ran-Dubm thoughts (2)

So, while some people use blogs to get through their day at work, I'm blogging to make it through Sociology 4693. What is that man talking about. I feel like Charlie Brown with the teacher that says "whomp whomp whomp whomp." Wow, finally see the symbolism in that. What most proffesors say are not really that important. As you get older your realize that they are biased and stubborn.

We had to do evaluations in all of our classes today. I didn't do them. I don't care anymore. I used to do them because i cared.

So here's what the decision boils down to for the democratic race. In my opinion, both Obama and Hillary will do a good job. So the ultimate question is. What is more important for me? Am I black first or am I a female first? What is more important to us as black females?

I'm tired and I want to eat but i can't. I'm almost out of meal points and all out of food. I got to go to the grocery store. I have to wait until 7pm because we are having free food at our BSA meeting!! I just want a snack. I feel like a feign.

I don't want to do my work either. I have an assignement due today but i'll start that at 5pm. It's due at 6pm. It's just corrections though. Whatever.

I'm just so ready to come home I need a break from school... I NEED TO GRADUATE.

My interview with Perry Publishing and Broadcasting Company is thursday. Wish me luck. I think I'm going to be writing for The Black Chronicle... if I get the job.

I'm thinking about a credit card. But then i think of all the people at my job at Express who are wearing clothes they 10% own. How stupid is that??? The clothes on your back aren't even yours. People say, you shouldn't chargeif you don't have the money. Well then, pay for it cash! But it builds credit, they say. I'm sure there is some other way to buy a house in America than get a mastercard. If there is not, the system is compeletly messed up.

so Mike's on Ebony this month.



AFTER PHOTOSHOP




BEFORE PHOTOSHOP

31.10.07

It's official

It's over. Don't ask me how I feel about it cuz I don't know. Just ready to close this chapter of my life, graduate and move to the next. What's next in life. Who's next in life.

My version of Ran-Dumb thoughts

In true deja fashion and to prove zuri right I am writing this post and me and that special someone are on the outs again. That's all i'll be writing about him though. I'm not going to bore anyone in the blog world with my pity party... If i know you i might call you every now and then to keep strong though. LOL

AN-T-WAY

Graduation, grad school, finding a job/career, 15 credit hours now, 19 credit hours next semester, GRE, 18 hours a week at Express- mostly on my weekends, Resident Advisor- with a boss who hates me, Black Student Association, add a new commitment THEN MINUS seniorIdis (sp??). That equals = DISASTER.

But i don't even care anymore. All i care about is getting a job and 1 commitment. Like right now, i'm sitting here typing on blogspot when i got a lot of homework to do and I'm not even tired. Perfect time right?? NAAAAHHH. I think i'll get in the bed, red a book, and watch wedding planner- which i've seen so many times that its not even good anymore. so.....

SOS somebody. It's just first semester. I'm droooowwniing.

I'm not even doing the things i have to do. Is life like this for everyone???? Or do people really get up, go to work, pay the bills and go to sleep???? I wonder what that feels like?

And to top it all off, entertainment PR is not an easy field to get in to. That means after grad I got 10 more years of being on the grind and paying my dues before I see any benefits. UGGGHHHH, it just makes me tired thinking about it. Maybe i WILL go to bed now!!! Gosh i'm being soooo lazy.

About being lazy... I think i really am lazy at heart, but i just do things because people expect me to and because the job has to get done by someone and also i'm a social being so if i don't get out of bed i won't see anybody. I like being in the mix. If that wasn't the case, I'd be ghost. You would not see me at all!!

So what's going on in the world. Two people have passed but i'm not exactly sure who or the situation surrounding them. Jehovah, please be with their famlies! I guess i'd better check cnn.com. I don't check FOX, ughh. What a racially insenstive network and I can't STAND Bill O'Reily (that pompous JERKKK)

I'm beginning to fade out. Ugghh, I have to go to work at 9am tommorow morning. I really should get to bed. I almost forgot about it

The Young Lioness


I'm reeeaaaddyyyy Teedra. Goodness gracious. Thinking about my last post when I said Beyonce come beack down to us, it made me think of my girl. Teedra is so down to earth and when i met her it was like hey girl what's up!!! Plus her music is so real. If you haven't met my girl Teedra, I'd like to introduce you to her.

(that's her name....My girl Teedra... from here on out)

Her new album the young lioness should be out sometime next year or the end of this year. GEEZ teedra do you know us "REAL" music heads are waiting for you to crush the fakeness when you bring REAL R&B back to the game. You're going to do it so big this go around.

MUAH

LOVES IT!!

I love that Justin Timberlake remix with Beyonce on it. For once Beyonce sounds soulful and beautiful without trying to hard and doing to much. She sounds calm, passionate, and sweet and it makes me want to cry. Reminds of the old Bey, before the DIVA, before the GLITTER, and especially before the SEABISCUT HAIR.

I miss that Beyonce. But one thing is for sure, this girl has a voice, and this song proves it. SO as long as I don't have to see her and I can just hear her sing the song, everything will be alirght.

Come back down to us Bey Knowles.

Circles

And around in circles we turn. Anita Baker is crooning in my ear again, singing, "I just wanna be yours." Why are relationships so much hard work? It's so tiring.

So now we're doing the waiting game again...And this is supposed to prove what??? Oh yea, the one who can wait out longer is the one who ends up being the one who is right.

Is it just me or does this not seem so freaking stupid. I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just over it all.
----------------------------------------------
FINE! You wait your stupid butt over there on your side then. You know what. Actually I am mad. I'm mad that I didn't get a chance to ball my fist up and give you one on your chin. One good punch is all that I needed. Maybe it would have knocked some sense into you and allowed you to see how freakin stupid you've been acting. But, alas, we were in public and I didn't want to come off as the ghetto black girl. *sigh* Yep!! I guess I'm just mad we were in public.

Anyway. I know I haven't been blogging but i've been keeping up with my celebrity gossip. My highlights.

1. What's wrong with Orange Juice (OJ).
2. To 50... So you mad???
3. To Kanye...stop crying and that man shawl you were wearing on jimmy kimmal live was not metrosexual... it was gay (no offense to anyone who took offense).
4. Alicia Keys. Just Beautiful
5. Jada Pinkett. Dang lil mama. Everytime I see you I'm stunned again. Beautiful
6. Isiah Thomas. Are you Stupid too? A black man calling a black woman the b word is just as bad as a white man saying it. Thanks for making it acceptable in our community.
7.Diddy and Usher. Keep your clothes on. Just stop it already.
8. Garcelle (from Jaimie Fox show) Dang girl, I hope that baby belly was photoshoped.
9. To BET. You get a ludacris face slap from me for putting American Gangster back on the air and glorifying gangsterism yet again. Another reason to BAN BET.
10. I actually feel bad for Ja Rule. But then again, i think, he made millions soooo...
11. Rihanna. You suck at performing! I mean, atleast make your face move. I stare at the screen saying, SHOW ME SOME EMOTION!! why are you so dry?!?
12. Mya Mya Mya. I feel so bad for you. That article you did for Vibe Vixen made me ashamed of you as a women. And now your throwing temper tantrums at fashion week. Mya Mya Mya.
13. That new justin and 50 song is just wrong. Justin is trying to meet 50 half way and 50 is trying to meet Justin half way and it's just too fake and all wrong. POP music kills and what an example this is.
14. Kanye and T-Pain. YES!!!!!

I SUPPORT THE JENA 6

quote of the day

"I Love TURKEY sausage man! What the FREAK do they put in that stuff"

-From Mr.BEEF man himself

Vannessa or Vivica


Do Not Be Mislead. When did Vivica start looking like Vanessa Williams. Plastic Surgery is CrAzY. Well atleast she looks (dare I say it?) Human. Don't hate me Vivica. I'm just being honest. You've had a couple of rough photos recently.


What do you think

Ms. Kelly



WOW. Do it big Kelly. This dress is to fabulous!!! I love Kelly and I want her to succeed but she hasn't been stepping up the way I think she should. But I think she pulled it out with this picture.
