BIG NO-NO

Telling a female friend or male (never know!) how your partner is in bed!

A friend of mine asked me recently if a dude I talk to had a big peen, and idk why but it irked a nerve. Mainly because WHY the hell do you need to know? Two, this isn't the first time she's asked this! and three, just because I chilled with homie, doesn't mean I found out what his peen looked like! So next to never telling a female about her man and his actions, you should never discuss what goes on behind closed doors.

Then again, let's just hope you already knew this!

Colin Stuart Lace Up Bootie

I've been in deep thought for the past day or two on whether or not I like these!

Opinions please, would you where these?

Merry Christmas!

I've been slacking on the blogging, but I've just been mad busy I barely have time to

do anything let alone take enough time to concentrate and blog.

I haven't been getting enough rest, which is probably why I took a 9hr nap earlier today!

If my phone hadn't been going off from xmas text's I probably would of stayed sleep until the next day.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas, and get's everything they wished for!

P.S - I got my Space Jams, which is pretty much all I asked my mom for. It was either those or a pair of Dr. Martens. I decided I'll get those myself! I'm getting older now which sucks because I kind of miss waking up early to open presents or begging my Ma to let me open a gift on xmas eve. Other than that, just give me money or gift cards. I do wish I would of asked for a camera though!

29 Days
Yesterday made it exactly one month until I return
to my home away from home!

Go Shorty, Go!

For the longest I thought Travis Porter was one of the dude's names, and the other two were just back up.

I still don't understand why name your GROUP after one person. But hey it's no better than Pretty Ricky.

Anyway, Travis Porter consist of three members, Strap, Ali and Quez.

This song grew on me, along with a few other songs by them such as; Call You (Feat. New Boyz) & All The Way Turn't up.

To find out more about the group and what exactly Travis Porter stands for check out their interview on Grits&Eggs and visit their Youtube Channel.

Married to the Mob x Lacoste Hironia

I haven't seen much about a release date or price tag on these, according to Hypebeast they'll be available through Sneakerstuff December 1s; Today!
I slept on the MTTM x Nike collab and that was on purpose.
This time around I'm actually thinking about copping the gold colorway.
I'll be sure to update, when I find out the exact details about this release!

Obsessed With You

Sneak preview of the Hellz Bellz "Obsessed With You" 2010 Spring collection!

I know we haven't even gotten good into the winter season, but who cares??

Even though I don't have ab's of steel, I've becomed obsessed with crop tops lately.

So this excites me, that I can continue my obsession into the new year.

"Step Your Shades Up"

NICKI MINAJ RIGHT ON! BARBIE SHOOT SNEAK PEAK from Fatima B on Vimeo.

Very interesting, glad to see she's changing the look up. Then again this looks a bit familiar. Not going to judge too quickly, it may only be for the shoot.

I'm so tired of the all black & pink bra, but I guess it's her signature.

The shoot is for Right On's first issue of 2010.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I'm late, but it's not 12am yet.

I just got in, I'm going to try to get a nap in before work.

I have to be in at 3:15am! This will be my first time working retail on Black Friday.

At first I wasn't too concerned with shopping, but I just got done looking at Ad's and it's a lot of good sales going on. I'm tight I have to miss out! I already put me two pair of boots, and a pair of jeans on hold at work.

Target has a Nikon S203 on sale for $88, I'm so tempted to get it!

I get off at 1pm, so hopefully the things I want aren't sold out.

Ten Steps Ahead

The Hellz x Reebok collaboration sneakers are dropping November 27th, only on this Black Friday you won't have to roll out of bed in the A.M to get your hands on a pair.

The shoe will be available at select retailers and a Hellz soon-to-drop shop.

I've never been a Reebok chick, but I'll consider these just because they're Hellz.

READY, SET, GO!

Rated R

I missed the AMA's but who needs to turn their TV on when you have Twitter?

Either way, I'm listening to Rated R, right now and decided to give a brief review.

I've always been a fan of Rihanna, before the haircut and black eye feel me!

but I can mos def hear the change in her music, whether that change is good or bad is very questionable.

Either way, the songs that have been on repeat are

• Wait Your Turn
• Hard
• Stupid In Love
• Rockstar 101
• G4L

& Russian Roulette is starting to grow on me. 5 and 1/2 songs out of 13, not bad.

Final rating | 8/10
& as a side note, that dress is very...interesting.

Best of the 2000's | Complex Top 10 Style Trends

• Big-framed sunglasses
• Pencil skirts
• Trifey Accessories (Nameplate necklace, 3-finger rings, doorknockers)
• High-top sneakers
• Platform heels
• Cropped shirts
• Vintage cut off jean shorts
• Visible lingerie
• Low cut skinny jeans 
• Leggings 

Finally a list I agree on, I rock all of this stuff today very proudly. Minus platform heels, cut off jean shorts, and visible lingerie. & that's not by choice. I prefer sneakers, my thighs are too thick for cut off's and lets face it who besides Rihanna and Gaga can pull off visible lingerie!

Can you believe it has been 10yrs? What was your favorite trend?
View the list, who the pioneers are and what Complex Magazine has
to say about these memorable trends.

I'm such a impulse shopper.

Decided to do a little shopping this morning, and I came across a bunch of Betsey Johnson accessries (ring & earrings). You will never find me paying more than maybe $10 for fashion/costume jewelry/accessories. But the price didn't bother me at all. I'm the"If I see something I want, It's mine" type of person. I'm tempted to go back and get more. She has a nice little collection, I swapped out 3 times before I made up my mind.

"That's My Attitude" is the first single off Trina's new album "Amazing." Which drops March 30th, 2010. Just a sneak peak, of the video. Even though I've been rocking with her since "Nann" I can safely say Trina has improved a lot appearance wise. I prefer the raunchy, straight in your face, hungry for respect lyrics and the back in the day Trina. But everyone grows up, right? Not saying she's lost it, but mos def matured.
Oh & I spot MOB, and she's rocking it waaayy better than barbie.

Shawty got gifts

Has the thought ever crossed your mind?

Recently my mom said that she doesn't like when I wear sweats, because I'm built like a stripper and my ass looks like the girl from the "Wanksta" video. She's been saying this shit for years, hence how old that video is. Either way, Idk if it's a good or bad thing. Don't quote me on this but It's crossed my mind once or twice as far as the whole stripper act goes. I don't want to be a stripper per say, but more so learn a few tricks. Wouldn't be a surprise if in a couple yrs, you see me blogging about a pole in my bedroom.

Hell, I'm just sayyying!

MTTM HOLIDAY '09

If I could wake up to drops like this everyday, life would be good.

Leah tweeted last night, "Big day tomorrow. Get ready bitches!"
and I already knew what time it was!
Although I fucks with MOB heavy as a brand, I was starting to yawn at some
of the previous collections. This IMO is one of the best collections to date.

view the full lookbook here!

No more B&W!

I was so over the whole B&W video's. I could do without Gaga on the song, but
they did their thing in the video. Very interesting, gaga looks normal for a change.

On Campus vs. Off Campus

Idk why this is such a big decision for me, but I'm not sure if I should/want to stay on campus. My first year dorm experience was NOT a good one, for one it was a fucking jail cell. Like seriously you would roll over and be looking at your roommate. I wasn't fond of my suit-mates, and I went through 3 roommates (due to their own financial reasons). We had visitation rules, which only added to the jail theme of it all. I understand their thing with safety but come on we're all adults age wise, treat us like it. Our visitation hrs were like 6pm-11pm the hell? even on the weekends!

If I decide to stay on campus it'll be in a different dorm but most of the same rules apply. I'll just have my own room & share a bathroom with 3 other people.

I'm really thinking of how convenient it'll be, although all of my classes are back to back (thank lord) it still has it's benefits.
VS. staying off campus
- Own (spacious) bedroom
- Own bathroom
- More freedom
-furnished/utilities included
- Cheaper

ahhh decisions, decisions!

Disco 21

Forever 21 Twist, Disco 21 now available. So far this would probably be my favorite collection from the twist line. The first collection Cirque 21 had a few must cop' items as well.

See the full line here.

Just call me "boo"!

I haven't had a celebrity crush in a while, but this man right here could mos def get it.
While watching The Game re-runs I find myself smiling for no reason. His character is so cute.
They need to bring back this show, dammit. I don't get the issue with picking it up. If they give Frankie & Neffe another season I'm officially off that, meaning BET. Not like I watch it anyway, but you know what I mean.

The Boy In the Striped Pajamas

History has always been a favorite subject of mine, and this movie fits perfect for those interested like me. It came out in '08, but better late than never. Of course it's just a movie, but very good representation of how horrible Jews were treated during the 1940's. The ending almost made me shed a tear, very unexpected.

Famous Girl

The Christian Rich x Hellz Bellz limited collaboration t-shirt is now available on Karmaloop. The tee is inspired by the group's "Famous Girl" video. Which can be seen on their website. If you're feeling this t-shirt, don't think twice about copping, they're only 24 available.

Get yours now!
$38 - Karmaloop

Time for a change

Hairdresser: When's the last time your hair was black?
Me: ...Never

Errrthang Working!

Lately I've been in a fairly good mood, and it's mostly because the days are rolling by and that just makes it closer to the day I can throw the deuces to this miserable place.
I just registered and financially enrolled for my spring classes, and it's a damn good feeling.
It seems like everyone thought '09 was their year, and it turns out it was just the opposite.
2010 can't come fast enough, and I don't know about everyone else but I plan on it being a way better year.

Baby G x Hello Kitty Collab Watches

Hello Kitty is celebrating it's 35th anniversary, and it seems like collaborations with the fictional character are happening left and right. These are the Baby-G x Hello Kitty Sanrio collaboration watches. Both watches are available on Colette for $495.
Is it worth it?

The Original Cash Money

Idk if I posted the Juvie video here or on tumblr, but I'm a big Cash Money fan. The original Cash Money if you even have to think about it. I've been ready for a reunion, and lately it seems like it actually might happen. I looove me some BG, I saw him in concert a few yrs back and it was nice. Even though he was hiiigh as a kite. He still held it down, and I will forever believe that BG is responsible for Bling Bling.
I'm just sayiiingg!

Hellz Bellz "Cult Classics" Holiday '09

The Hellz Bellz Holiday '09 "Cult Classics" collection is now available.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, HB has come a long way & each collection keeps getting better & better.
view the complete lookbook here.

What the hell is a friend?

This is exactly how I've been feeling lately.

"..Yeaah, and fuck these bitches, I swear I care about everything but these bitches, I don't care, I "so what" these bitches and I put young mula baby myself way above these bitches."

The Wait Is Over

Before the beating, hair cut, and new stylist.
I've always been a fan of Rihanna.
Could always relate to her music, I've heard two songs off her new album
and I just can't get them.
This song isn't too bad, maybe it'll grow on me.

Let the festivities begin..

So the holiday season as officially begun, well to me it has.
one down, three to go.
I didn't celebrate Halloween, well at least not the fun of actually dressing like a skank and getting away with it. Maybe next year!

Two of my friends were in town for the weekend, so the whole crew got together and basically had a little reunion. We were supposed to go to a haunted house, but that didn't go as planned so we just went to Applebee's, and then hung out afterward and drank and smoke.
I usually prefer smoking to drinking, mainly because I've had a few bad experiences and liquor just has a bad taste to me. However since I never know when I'll have to go to court, I don't want to risk dropping dirty. So last night Apple Vodka was my friend! This morning proved why I don't normally drink, I felt like shit. I hate feeling like I have to throw up but it won't come up uuughh. & then this daylight savings shit is not what's up. I woke up thinking it's like 12pm/1pm and it was only 10am, the hell? I decided to get breakfast, went to BK and they weren't serving even though it was like 10:28am, and feeling like shit I wasn't in the mood to argue with them so I took my drunk ass across the street to McDonald's and what do ya know they were serving breakfast. I guess BK forgot to set their clocks back or something.
It seems like time is moving sooo slow, and I know I'm not going to like this shit when it comes to work.

Speaking of work, as each day passes I can't wait to put my two weeks in. I don't dislike retail yet but I understand why a lot of people do. The main thing I deal with on a daily is rudeness. I continuously have to bite my tongue and remember patience is key. I'm not fond of my co-workers either, those old hags are almost as rude as the customers. Just being the type of person I am, I don't care how long you've been here or what authority you think you have but you're not going to talk to me like I'm a child, let alone your child. Even though I don't plan on quitting, just transferring I'll be glad to be in a different environment and hopefully working with better ppl. They're also cutting hours, which I don't understand. It's the holiday season, which means we'll be busier [hopefully] so why am I going from 25-30hrs a week to 20-22 shit makes no since.
Which means no more shopping for me, I'll have to put the majority of my $$$ into my savings.

and last but not least, I'm officially starting my countdown.
I have 2mths to be exact until I'm back where I want & need to be and reunited with him.
Speaking of him, I sent a drunk FB message last night and loooord was I out that thang.
I read it this morning and can you say embarrassing!

Your honor..

"..Big ups to BET for the talent show!!!!"
- my aunt.

First things first, new look once again. I always think that updating the look will encourage me to post more often, we'll see how that goes this time. I've added another artist to my list of favorites; Adele. Whom the header is inspired by. If you haven't listened to her album then what the hell are you doing? I try to listen to at least once a day.

Just got done watching the BET Hip Hop Awards not too long ago, and to describe it in three words would be short, redundant and boring. I think the highlight was Kid & Play and Jay Z. Luda had the best performance IMO. Gucci and Dream performed the whole night, and Mike Epps was well...nothing to laugh about. Better luck next yr...yeah right.

Remember I wrote about a ticket I had received towards the beginning of Sept. well at first I had plead guilty and decided to just pay the $350 fine. Scratch that, my mom found out about the situation and called the court because she thought the whole thing was just impossible and she suggested I go to court. So yeah, I'll be waking up at about 7am, and heading to court. They say it's something called the "Move Over Law" and it's not a simple citation it's a freaking misdemeanor. I'm mos def not trying to have that on my record. The best that could happen would be for the police to not show up. This week has started off bad, and I'm ready for it to be over already.

edit; So it didn't go as I hoped, don't even feel like going into details. I'm out on bond, there's going to be a trial unless my lawyer says it's not worth the fight. I never will understand the system. Before my name was called about 30 white kids appearead all for possession of a controlled substance. They all were also minors and all they got were measly fines, none close to $350 might I add. Like I said this is all, bullshit.

Haters

"...I need 5 by the end of this month."

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters…
That’s why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, because some folk can’t handle seeing you blessed…
It’s dangerous to be like somebody else… If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?
You never know what people have gone through to get what they have…
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story…
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!
We’ve all got some haters among us!
Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn’t about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being in the home

Haters can’t stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.
How do you handle your undercover haters?

You can handle these haters by:
1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live…when its your time to leave this earth, you ‘want’ to be able to say, ‘I’ve lived my life and fulfilled ‘my’ dreams,… Now I’m ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, ‘Don’t look at me…Look at Who is in charge of me…’

Misunderstood

"Misunderstood, ain't gotta be explained."
- Weezy

Been missing for a while, shit's been crazy and shit's been good. As each day passes I get a little closer to being where I want to be, my home away from home. Same 'ol, working and trying to see things in a positive light. Things have been rocky with my family, but its nothing new and I'm sure we shall get over the problems, until next time. Am I the only one that hates when a person trys to tell them who they are, or what they are? Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't force your opinion on me and try to make me believe that you're right. I hate when a person insults me, but won't tell me the reason behind it.
Example; Someone saying you're dumb, stupid, crazy or some type of insult and when you ask why, they won't elaborate. They expect you to just accept it and move on. Well sorry, but I'll accept your insults without injury only if you explain why you feel that way.
Lately I've been called selfish, inconsiderate and to just have an all together bad attitude.
I'll admit I have a attitude, short temper and all that but sometimes people mistake my sarcasm for too much tude. Their problem, not mine. However I won't accept the title of selfish and inconsiderate.
It's their opinion, but my life. I guess, we all are misunderstood at one point in time.

*I have court on the 14th, still haven't told my mom.
I need to get it over with, IDK what I'm afraid of.
I wasn't in her car, I'm 19 and she's not going to have to pay for the ticket.
I really just need her for transpo.
It's always one thing after another, but things could be so much worse so whaatev.

Flashback Friday - No No No

Destiny Child's- No No No
One of those songs, no matter how old it is.
I can still play it and feel like it was released last week.

Damn You Dell

My wish list is never ending, and now I can add a new laptop to the top of the list. I'm so fed up with this piece of shit Dell laptop. It keeps freezing, I get the blue screen of death from time to time and none of my programs will open (i.e psp, picture previews, tweetdeck won't update.) nothing irritates me more than a slow or fucked up computer/laptop. I want to change the look on here, nothing drastic but for some reason psp won't open =[.

Today I went to get the nails did, and I wanted to try something different so I got them way shorter than normal and less eye blinding colors being that I work around a lot of older women. But I've come to the conclusion that short nails aren't me at all.

*In the last post, I wrote about having access to a camera well now that the memory card is taken care of, he still doesn't have a USB cord and none of the ones I have fit. So there goes my hopes of posting better quality pictures.

Quick question; Your hear something about a dude you talk to, for example that he's a ho, or that he talks to a lot of females. Do you confront him about it, or leave it alone but keep your distance?

Glad It's Over

What a week/weekend!
Everyone has went their separate ways, and things are slowly returning to normal now.
My uncle is finally laid to rest and while I had a good time with my family I just wish death wasn't the cause of us all being together again.

My last update was about me finally getting my license, well now I can add getting my first ticket to the list. ALREADY? Yep, crazy but oh well. I plan to fight it because he clearly could of gave me a warning especially being that I have no record, and that I'd just gotten my license like 2 days ago.
& then someone did the EXACT same thing, I got pulled for and no one pulled them over. Of course the attitude in me questioned him about it and his excuse was that he was citing me so he couldn't pull them over when clearly there were two other police cars behind him. It's all bullshit and a big waste of time if you ask me, but well see how it ends when I go to court.

Work is work, I opened a savings account today because its so easy for me to spend money when Its sitting in my checking. & to be honest, I need to save as much money as I can, so hopefully that will help.

My Step dad finally got a memory card for his camera, so expect to see more WDYWT & Random pics. Still going to get my own, I'm going to settle for the Nikon S220.

I just finished watching FD4, and I'll give it a 3/5. I'm glad that I didn't pay money to see it in theaters, and that it's supposedly the last one. The acting and quality was overall poor, the 2nd one was the best IMO.

* Excuse the bad hair in the pic, I have a hair appointment Saturday, I'm bringing the bangs back.
=]

Legally Driven

I got my license today, finally!

I know I'm laaate, but whatever.
One thing to scratch off my to-do list.

Rest In Peace

"God's finger touched him, and he slept."

If it's not one thing it's another, I swear that saying will probably follow me forever. Work is cool, they've been cutting hours but nothing to worry about. I don't blame them, because everyday that I worked last week was sloooow. It'll pick back up around Oct. though & more hours will come.

My uncle passed yesterday. This guy that I talk to called me yesterday at like 9am saying that they found him dead in his apt. It was so random, that I didn't believe him at first. I mean my uncle had a bunch of health issues, like being a diabetic and sleep apnea but his name and death in the same sentence just don't mix in my mind. My uncle and my great grandmother basically raised me, he was like the only and major father figure I had during my childhood. When I came back home in May, I made it a point to visit him faithfully and he made sure to put money away for me to have when I went back to ATL. He always told me that if I ever needed anything while I was down there to give him a call. He gave, even though he didn't have. He cared about others even though they may have thought negative about him. He had a sense of humor, a big heart. It's so crazy, and I don't think I'll ever be able to completely believe and accept the fact that he's gone. I feel like this entire situation could of been avoided. The night before he said he couldn't breath, and he sent his friend to get him medicine. His friend asked him if he wanted to call 911 and he said no. Then I asked how long he had been dead, and they said not long, because when they found him he was still ALIVE, but it was too late they couldn't save him, BULLSHIT!!! I can't sleep at night, every time I close my eyes I see him laying there, helpless and no longer.

Fine Timing

Even though it's technically 9/12, I thought I'd briefly take a minute to acknowledge the tragedy of 9/11. I'm sure everyone will always remember what they were doing and where they were when it all happened. It's crazy that's it's been 8yrs, I was in the 6th grade, at school in health class. I think an announcement was made, and then they turned on the tv and there it was. I won't dwell on it too much, but my prayers go out to all the lives and families forever changed.

Lately I've been thinking about my future and life in general, It's nothing new but lately it's been consuming my mind. Yesterday I finally got in touch with my financial aid adviser and was already pissed because I've been trying to reach him for about two weeks now, maybe longer. Then to make things worst, I find out that I could have got a scholarship to take care of the rest of my balance.
If I hopped on the next thing smoking I probably would still be able to attend, however I've already dropped my classes and have a job to attend to. So I just deferred everything until January for the spring semester.

What else, this lady came to my register today and had the coolest fucking accent ever. She was from Australia, she thought everything was mad cheap and that snuggies were amazingly ridiculous. It just added more confirmation as to why I love and want to travel. There's so much more to experience in life than what we settle for.

& lastly saving $$$ is a challenge, I just want to shop my life away but responsibilities and priorities come first right?

"..Reebok baby.."

I have to be at work at 9:45 in the morning, I should be sleep right now but I'm not.
You know how you visit one blog, and then decide to visit another and another and so on.
Well that's sort of me right now, its only so often that I have time or think to check up on my favorite blogs, whether it be fashion, personal, or entertainment related.
Anyway If you know me you know how big of a Hellz lover I am.
Came across another collab, they have in the works.
While I love me some Hellz Bellz, I haven't worn Reebok since erm maybe 6th grade.
The design and concept is hot, but I'll pass.
I'm patiently waiting for the two-finger ring collab with Miss Wax.
Would you wear these?

Credit Check Please!

I feel like I've been working non-stop. I haven't had a day off since last Monday, it's not too bad. On most days I only do 6-8hr shift.
I wish I could say my holiday weekend was fun, but it wasn't. I've did nothing at all, but chill with friends. I have a crazy taste for bbq right now, and I doubt I'll get that either.

Anyway, today I did something that I hope I won't regret any time soon.
I've been wanting to buy jewelry for the longeeest, and my job was having a good sale so I went ahead and applied for a credit card =\. I didn't think I would get approved, but I did!
I know I'm supposed to be saving up for school, which might I add is very hard when you have an addiction. However I really need to establish & build up my credit.
I got a bracelet and ordered a nameplate necklace, both at good prices.
I'm going to pay the majority of it off this week though, I'm paranoid about the whole situation so I'm just going to dead it now. The result of this is that I'll have to wait on my camera, another week or so.

It's so much shit I have to do and want to do, my friend wants me to come to Atl for homecoming. I would looove to do so and get away. But right now it's just not in my plans or budget.

I'm sure eventually everything will fall into place.
Happy Labor Day!

Big Deal

When did dude's rocking skinnies, become such a fucking big deal?
I didn't think it was this serious, I mean there are many other problems with today's generation and people shitting themselves over the way a person prefer to dress.
No I'm not down with males wearing mad tight jeans, however who the fuck wears baggy jeans in '09. I prefer slightly fitted, but if they like it I love it.
Like female said at the end, not too tight and as long as the sneakers are right.
Homie with the silver moon boots, not a good look however.

The Usual

I haven't been posting much, nothing interesting has been going on in my world.
Just the usual, working, making money, chilling around, and did I mention making money.
I'm sure everyone has their internet peeves, well let me express my biggest blogspot peeve.

I understand, you want to share your current favorites or some random song but why must it be automatic. I hate the fact that I'm jamming to my own shit, and I visit your blog and the shit cuts in with mine.
- FOLLOW ME, I FOLLOWED YOU!
I don't get too many of these, but for those who have done this or just to avoid this in the future. You telling me to follow your blog, just makes me do the opposite. I make it a point to visit anyone who follows my blog or comments on a post, ya know just as a thanks/gesture. Whether I comment or follow, is simply up to me and of course your blog content. If your shit is all over the place, blinding colors, or just doesn't move me. I won't return or follow.

hate to be a bitch, but I'm just saying.

Just A Misunderstanding

"I THINK IT’S FUNNY HOW THE MAJORITY OF PPL ON HERE ARE SO QUICK TO HYPE THE LINE UP. YEA, THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF CUTE PIECES, BUT AS ANOTHER COMMENTER MENTIONED. . WHERE ARE THE BLACK/BROWN MODELS????? IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE HOOD THROWS AN ASSLOAD OF MONEY INTO THIS COMPANY BUYING UP ALL THEIR STUFF, JUST TO HAVE THE OWNERS RELEASE A STATEMENT SAYING THAT DIMEPIECE WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR “CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS” (READ BLACK FOLK). I’M ALL FOR PPL HAVING A HUSTLE, HELL, I’M ALL FOR PRETTY CLOTHES. BUT DAMN, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO LET MOFO’S STEAL OUR SWAGGER, MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT, THEN DISS US. SERIOUSLY PPL, YOUR SOUL HAS TO BE WORTH MORE THAN THE PRICE OF A GRAPHIC TEE."

I'm trying my best to not turn this blog into fifty-fifty, which focuses on fashion, music, entertainment and all that dope shit. However, with popular street brands such as; hellz bellz, MOB, DMPC, MadeMe, etc. releasing their fall/winter drops it's being brought to my attention once again why streetwear isn't for everyone. The above quote is from someone's opinion under a concreteloop spotlight did on DMPC in '07.
It's comment like those that cause me to shake my head. During my first year of college, I had about 3 fashion related projects and I dedicated them all to streetwear. While I love to keep streetwear underground and have people wonder what I'm wearing, I hate when people throw shade at the culture, and know nothing about it.

Streetwear i'm sure isn't intended for a particular demographic, however if it's anything it's the opposite of urban wear. No I'm not about to go do studies and statistics because it's not that deep but most of the people I know or see rocking these brands aren't African American. As far as having African American's model the brands, well there aren't many of those too pick from.
And as a disclaimer I don't rock streetwear 24/7, one thing I have said and will continue to claim is that streetwear can be a bit pricey and a bitch like me will glady go to F21 before I cash out $40-$50 on a t-shirt. It's all in the love of why those brands and streetwear as a whole exist and the entire concept, culture and meaning of it all that I admire and have grown to appreciate and love. Simply put, it's not for everyone so either you like it or you don't and most won't.
AND those that don't are usually the one's rocking plastic barbie jewelry, leggings and jean skirts, too small baby girl tee's and showcasing their muffin' tops.

Wishlist - Larissa velcro strap sandal

I know summer is basically over but I still want these, and I've come to the conclusion that If I can spend $150-$200 + on sneakers, I can mos def copp these.
Now I just have to convince myself that I'll actually wear them.

Da Long Way

It's funny how before I went off to college most of my friends were females. I could count on one hand how many males I was really cool with or on some bro & sis type shit with. When I got to college, it was the other way around or more so equal. Long blog short, my patna made my day today.

"Got about another 1/2 hr on this greyhound ! dlx_xlb "da long way" stack money boyz is on & I thought of my patna jaz lmao MeL~"

A lot of people don't believe males and females can be just friends. While a lot of females prefer to have male friends. And I'm one of those females, I swear I'd rather chill with a dude over looking in a female's face all day. Don't get me wrong, males are just as nosy, gossip worthy, and filled with bitchassness as females. But its still my preference.

I'm going to miss my homie over these next couple of months, I haven't even told him I'm not going to be there for the fall. However he probably already figured it out because I would've been hitting him up to partyyy and get into trouble by now.

No female should ever be "That Girl"

From time to time, you'll catch me posting some of my favorite poems.
I came across this not too long ago, and it's a poem
most females young and old should here at least once.

Another Boring Weekend

New layout/theme, whatever you want to call it. I wanted to lighten it up a bit, like?
and I also want to thank my new followers, appreciate it!

This is just a brief and quick update, my mood has quickly went from chill and relax to irritated and bored. So I'll be calling it a night early, another boring weekend.

Payday <3

New job is going good, it's opening me up to not be so shy. Sucks I have to buy a whole new casual wardrobe. I'm a tee, sneakers/sandals and jeans type of gal. So I have like two pair of slacks.

Reality that I have to stay in Michigan till January is starting to kick in :(

20% discount!

fuck 21+ clubs

Still without a license

I could really use a blunt and a shot glass right about now

In like with him, but second guessing it all.

slowly losing interest in him, due to the distance between us

boredom, boredom, and boredom!

Can someone tell me why the date and everything else is automatically on the bottom of the post. Or is it just my layout? Idk, but I'm not feeling it.


wishing everyone else a good weekend <3

Money Is My Motivation

These last few days have been filled with comfort, fun, and confirmation. Wednesday and Thursday were spent getting to know him, and seeing what his intentions are and deciding if he passes the first go round.

Friday, we got to return home and I was more than ready to be back in my own bed. Being at a hotel for a week, made me wonder how celebrities travel on tour buses and sleep in hotels for months at a time. I don't think I'd be able to handle it, there's nothing like that home feeling.

I got the confirmation that everything checked out with the job, and I have training tomorrow. I'm so excited, I was getting nervous because of a incident that happened a few yrs ago while hanging with one of my cousins. Lets just say I never went to court, but then again I never received papers saying I had to either. Oh well, all that matters is that I got the job and now I can begin saving and working towards things that will determine where I'll be this upcoming January. It's going to be mad hard, to resist temptation when It comes to shopping. I'm on F21 & 80's purple as I type browsing potential items. It's only part time, so depending on the consistency of my schedule I'm thinking about finding a 3rd job, sounds hectic but I have to do what I have to do. $$$ is the only thing that matters to me at this point in my life!

I finally made a trip to the nail salon, I went to get a pedicure but I got a discount so I went ahead and got my nails done as well. It's hard for me to get used to the one color nail thing. I'm so used to going all out with designs and such, it's also hard for me to find a solid color that compliments my skin tone without being too bright and bold. and quite frankly white tips are booring!

Going to bed, I have to be up early tomorrow; work, errands, training and more errands.
I've reached 5 followers, thanks I appreciate it!!
I can't complain!

Moving Along

I have internet after all, this is our second day at the hotel and I'm ready to go home already. The only plus is the exercise room. I got a much needed work out in today. I've gained a lot of weight over these past few months from being back home and not being as active as I was in atl.
Things are moving along with this job, I had my last interview Monday! Now I'm waiting on my background check, I don't think I have anything to worry about. They changed my position to basically running the home department. It's going to be interesting and very new. This would be my first retail/sales job, and the lady said she feels I'm too advanced for fitting rooms and replenishing. And that I'll be fine, lets hope so!


Every time I attempt to take pictures with my Sk, I get mad because I had a nice ass Cannon camera and those bums just had to violate and rob me for my shit. I plan to buy one as soon as I start working, as well as a laptop. I plan to search for a new laptop during Black Friday. I'm not trying to wait that long for a camera though, I've had a Sony, Samsung, and a Cannon and now I want a Nikon. Taking pictures with my Sk sucks.

High Standards

I was in a situation last night, that made me realize that I just may be setting my standards to high when it comes to males. I mean I've always been picky and I'll never settle for less but a lot of males would describe me as mean and with a fuck it attitude. However situations like the one I was in last night is the reason why I always prepare myself for the worse and try to avoid catching feelings for a dude. Then on the other hand, most dudes always claim "I'm not like other dudes." or "All dudes aren't the same." So I try to give them a chance and what do they give in return, BULLSHIT! I have a three strikes rule, and a "1 out of the 4" before you can pass go. It's not as serious as it sounds, trust me. My 1 out of 4 is basically you have to have 1 out of the 4

• Job
• Your own place
• Car
• In school

and it's a bonus if you don't have kids, and if you have kids all I ask is that you miss me with the drama. Am I asking for too much? I'm not to big on looks, all I ask is that you're decent on the eyes and have a niice style and mean kick game.

Anywho, this weather has been so nasty lately, its raining as I type. The perfect weather to be cuddling with that special someone. In my case I'm going to stuff face, watch a movie, and read my book. I'm currently reading "Crackhead II" its a good read if you're into urban fiction.
I'm supposed to give this situation another chance tonight, once he gets off work we're going to get up and chill, at least those are the plans we'll see out it turns out.

I won't be updating for about a week or so, they're about to start working on the inside of our house and we can't be in here due to the lead.

One More Round

Facebook is going to be the end of me, not literally facebook but some of the apps.
My friend recently got me started on the UNO craze, and I have to play at least once a day.
Last week, I wouldn't have been able to give someone instructions on how to play, but its a way to kill boredom.
I'm also guilty of taking some of the quizzes, its interesting because the results are always true.
I just took the "What Does Your Birthday Say About You?" and I couldn't have said it better myself minus a few things.

Stubborn and hard-hearted. Strong-willed and highly motivated. Sharp thoughts. Easily angered. Attracts others and loves attention. Deep feelings. Beautiful physically and mentally. Firm Standpoint. Needs no motivation. Easily consoled. Systematic (left brain). Loves to dream. Strong clairvoyance. Understanding. Sickness usually in the ear and neck. Good imagination. Good physical. Weak breathing. Loves literature and the arts. Loves traveling. Dislike being at home. Restless. Not having many children.Hardworking. High spirited. Spendthrift.

My birthday is 050190, shout out to all my Tauruses!

My weekend was decent, I went to a party Saturday and realized that it will be my last hall party. The problem is, when you're so used to a certain environment, music, and setting. Its hard to transition. Don't get me wrong, its nice to get out of the house and be social and what not but its not worth sweating out my perm and wasting a good outfit. Not even 5mins after walking into the party, I started sweating because it was unbearably hot. And the killer is that, they have windows but they were boarded up - can we say fire hazard.
and If you step outside, you have to pay to get back in.

Today was supposed to be the day I finally got my license, however I had to reschedule due to not having all of the car titles and registration. I lost my deposit, which I didn't have to lose. It's probably best I rescheduled though because I feel like I need more practice parking. I mean who parallel parks on a daily basis, not me.

From Bad To Worst

So its pretty much decided that I have to take this upcoming semester off.
I'm trying not to think about it and stay positive, but that's a big deal.
Long story short, I don't have enough $$ to pay for this semester.
No scholarships, and basically supporting myself so it is what it is.
It's my fault for not really applying for scholarships and waiting till the last minute. I have searched for scholarships but most of them that I find, I don't qualify for. It makes me mad, because my balance was such a petty amount. All I can do is learn from this set-back and try to avoid for the future. The plan is basically for me to, work my ass off and either pay out of pocket or hopefully I'll earn a scholarship for spring. I've been on my shit lately, I called UNCF and found out about scholarships, Salliemae, and I'm going to call one of my family members who used to run the financial aid department for Morehouse to get advice and hopefully a few connects.
Another headache has been that my mom wants me to change my major, and look at cheaper schools. We all know how expensive Clark is, is it worth it..nah? but it's what you make of it. The way I see it, if you haven't experienced college at a HBCU let alone CAU, then you don't understand. That's really my main concern, while I have my dislikes about CAU, I couldn't picture myself being anywhere else. I'm still going to apply to other schools just in case and as a back up.

Do your parents support your goals and decisions you've made in life or plan to make?

Enough about that sob story.
It's mos def about to be 4am, so that only leaves one thing, sleep!

Looking Back At It Now

pictures from the past; 2007

I was once a teenager, searching for my true self.
..and had a camera to capture it all.
Boredom came over me today, and I decided to dust off my photobucket.
One word; wow.
I know I'm not the only one who looks back at photos or things they did when they first encountered this thing called the internet.
My style, the things I used to say, the screen names, typing Liike ThiiS!! .
It's all just a blur that I want to leave in the past.
It did make me miss how long my hair used to be before I was told it
was damaged and needed to be cut. My mom is trying to convince me to cut it as I type and as much as I would love something new and different, I just can't picture being bald. I mean my hair isn't mad long or anything, but I've always had a good grade of thick lovely hair and its just starting to grow back now so why would I cut it?

I'm done Stressing; for now

Things are getting better! Surprisingly I'm not as stressed as I would normally be. Yes when everything first started to go wrong, I was a reck. However I've realized that the more I stress the longer it will take for things to start going my way. A lot of things are still up in the air, but I can only take it one day at a time, and hopefully what ever happens will be something positive.

As far as school; I just did the Parent Plus Loan and got denied which makes me eligible for the full subsidize/unsubsidized loan amount. I'm still unsure of that amount, I keep reading between $4,000-and $10,500.
Either way whatever it is, it should bring my balance to $0, and that's really all that matters.
Or hopefully a negative balance because lord knows I could use a refund!
Enrollment deadline is the first week of August, so no time for bullshit. Depending on the amount, I'll probably have to stay with my Uncle until I get a job to pay my own rent, hopefully no later than November.
It's a lot more to it, but that's pretty much the basics.

The lady from the job, FINALLY called me. I got the job, however she's going on vacation next week and she won't be able to call me to complete the hiring process until the first week of August. Which then leaves me about two weeks, for background checks, paperwork and training. Which leaves me NO time to work, because if all goes well I plan to be on the first thing smoking to atl on the 21st. As desperate as I am for money and other things that I need and want I thought of taking a semester off and staying home to work and save and return to atlanta come January. Crazy? She's still going to call me when she returns and I'll give her my final decision..so we'll see.

uumm what else, I scheduled a appointment for my road test.
Might have to reschedule because I can't find my permit. For some reason I think I threw it away; FML! I meant to throw away my temp i.d which looks the same as the paper permit.
I'm supposed to pay a deposit by tomorrow to hold my spot, but I can't get another permit until Monday so yeah thats another we'll see.

This is looong, and my eyes are getting heavy. It's Friday and I'll probably be sleep by 1am, some summer ehh.

Stressed To The Max

Shit has been sooo stressful;

- my grandmother is in the hospital
- ^ which leads me to taking care of my great-grandmother.
-My great- grandmother who co-signed for my loan last yr for school got denied due to another family member taking her information and getting a car in her name.
- No one else in my family has good/decent credit!
-^ which leads me to stress about how I'm going to fund the rest of my fall semester, INCLUDING housing!
- I had my 1st&2nd interviews with this store, and no call back!
-My mom is on bed rest till the baby comes.
- I'll be able to take my road test this Friday, however due to everything else going on I have yet to sit down and schedule my appointment.
I just want to scream, pull my hair out, and lock myself in my room.
Sadly that would probably cause more stress because nothing would get done.
I'm rushing with this update, because I have to get back to my great grandmothers.
I come home about twice through out the day, to lay in MY bed, and use my laptop.

that's about it, hopefully everything works out and the next update will be filled with good news!
