from meanie!

a new holiday: Bitchmas, a celebration of family, community and culture.
how to celebrate:

1. don't.
2. wear black whenever possible to mourn the loss of your soul during the holidaze.
3. scowl.
4. tip poorly or not at all.
5. let every injustice in you life rise to the surface in every interaction with a human.
6. go to the post office and be in a hurry.
7. use public transit and be in a hurry.
8. make everyone a macaroni necklace for their respective holidaze. include the gift receipt for the box of macaroni that you didn't buy yourself.
9. burn a tree (but not really, corporate america is already doing it for you).
10. listen to angry rap music loudly.
oh yeah, 11. get picked for jury duty.
12. this lasts for twelve days. remember that, bitch.

YO WHY!?
yet another good thing slightly ruined. Why cant Mean Girls just stay Mean Girls?
Mean Girls is a teen classic along with the Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day off, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Heathers.
*sigh* Bring it on wasn't anywhere as good as Mean Girls but we still love the original over all the crappy sequels.

When nothing else makes sense i got a few people i can call to help clear shit up.
i really love my crew and can't wait to get home and see them.

A list of the 25 most artistic and innovative youtube videos has been released!
it is a really impressive list. i haven't watched all the videos yet, but i will. The few i did watch are really fantastic and the artists have a true talent in editing, filming and drawing, i hope they get the recognition they deserve.
all 25 videos were on display in New York at the Guggenheim here is their link

ironically i found these videos on CNN.com not youtube or another blog, my usual video sources.

Enjoy get inspired. I know i can't wait to pick up my camera and go outside.

Effed up!

CNN posted a video about a newspaper in Uganda calling for the "top" 100 gays to be hanged. Their pictures and addresses were listed in the newspaper! Government sanctioned hate and violence is so distressing.



i was just doing my current events homework like a good student and found this article, of course I can't do anything else now because no other topic seems important. It's really ironic that this article was published today because facebook was promoting wear purple to stop violence against LGBTQ people. Today was a RIP in memory of the 6 young gay men that committed suicide in the recent weeks due to bullying and torturing in school. I failed to wear purple today, but i will blog. the moral of the story is:

i love sesame street

New muppet on Sesame Street and she is PERFECT!
just what every little brown girl needs to see.



and JUST because i love Sesame Street so much why not have the cookie song and Sing. =)



"you dress very bizarre"

that is what my aunt said to me when she saw what i wore to school today. i don't think what i wear is bizarre. A couple friends said to me today that they liked my outfit and it is very "Asha". That works for me. When you see me i want you to know its me not somebody else.

nails of the week:

my "bizarre" ensemble:

i'm going to have to apologize for the crap photography. My camera does not do well indoors and especially not at night, therefore my pictures suck. I really hope i can do a real lookbook with my dear field bee soon

i wrote a letter today

It's not letting go and forgetting the past that helps us move forward. It's being able to look back at the past, reflect and not get upset that enables us to move forward in life. i'm trying to look back and smile not cry. i think i'm doing better.

"We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."--Charles R. Swindoll

i sit and judge...

i downloaded a blogger app on to my phone, but whenever i want to use it i don't have cell service to get online so...... I wrote my blog entry in my school book before class started. i was early—RARE



The two girls in front of me were sooo annoying one girl has a mini Snooki pouf

The other girl has fried dyed bleach blonde Ke$ha waves.
They walked into the room talking about how trashed poufy was last weekend. Her and her friends had 6 drinks within the hour before going out. One girl even puked out a cab that night [classy] and everyone else was just trashed. No one remembers how they got home [dangerous]. Bleachy is just laughing all the way saying OMG [stupid]. Apparently there are also pictures on facebook from this [classy] night [also stupid].

i don't know these girls personally...and for good reason. They were damn distracting. I was trying to read! It was just a lot of "Oh My God"'s, exaggerated mascara and fake nails. They don't quite look like they frequent the jersey shore, but they might have family from there...

i love when i know things

yahoo posted a list of life lessons from movies based on high school.
the best part about this list is i have seen all the movies and love the quotes they pulled.
the quotes are:
The Breakfast Club (1985)-"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."
Heathers (1989)-
"If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host."
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)-
"Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you can treat people like they don't matter."
Mean Girls (2004)-
"Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter... All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you."
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)- "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

i may not be in high school anymore but all this still applies.

Adressing my childhood... again

I'm blogging from my iPod so excuse any mistakes in format

Today has been a good day. I woke up, went to the store to get yogurt and fruit, made a smoothie, then went to the movies with the fam. We saw toy story 3. It was great just as good as the first two. I felt like no time had past between the first two and the third. About 10 years has passed, I think. I cried at the end. It just made me remember how much fun I had with my toys and how easy it was for me to just throw out toys, games, books, or leave them behind when I went off to school. I've given Sophia toys and clothes and hopefully she loves them as much as I did. I still hag teddy bears and random knock knacks I can't bring myself to part with. At the end I kept thinking: damn what would I give to be 8 again?"
as I'm sitting on the bus to spend the weekend in New York, I don't think I want to be 8. It's great being 19 and in college. If I had the happiness and drama free life of my 8yr old self combined with the freedom and wisdom I hag acquired as a 19 yr old I'd be great!

This should be a good weekend with childhood friends with mature sensibilities

Get your life together!

This morning when i woke up to check my blogs, as i always do, something was very different. blogger.com was not directing me to my dashboard, but to weather.com for the UK and Ireland. No matter how many times i refreshed the page or tired to get to my dashboard from other people's blogspots, i kept finding the weather. So i googled blogger dashboard, or homepage, or something, and managed to find the link to direct me here. it took WAY too long to get to my morning blogs.

Dear Blogspot,
You are NOT the weather, especially not the weather in UK and Ireland. Even if you were the weather i would not care about the weather in UK and Ireland. i don't live anywhere near there, don't have any family or friends there, and i have never been there. So to end this letter to you dear blogger, get your shit together or we can't be friends!

stolen off a friends blog



i saw this video on my friend's blog and fell out laughing. it is absolutely true. i love the iphone as much as the next person, but it is expensive and people are a little hype on it. don't get me wrong, if someone gave me a working one i would take it, but i sure won't be switching my service provider just to have one. my droid eris does me just fine...well it did before the stupid system update which now freezes my fone. GET ON THAT VERIZON!

anyway thanks nellallen for the video your blog makes me happy.

maury+boondocks=win


OK WHY?!!??

is it really that serious boo? What happened to old sayings like love your body and not sell if for bogus pony tails.

This is just so insanely dumb i don't even really know what to say about it. Hair is not that freaking important.
wanna switch up your style, wish you had longer hair, or wanna change the color/texture without destroying your real hair? Go head. knock yourself out.
but to sell your cupcake for some weave is ridiculous.
Not to mention the fact that these girls are barely in high school

The Boondocks should make and episode based on having sex for weave.
it would be a great episode. Boonies already touches on controversial topics pertaining to black people. Why not add one more in? Chris Rock did Good Hair the ice has been broken.
Boondocks can do it and not even cause that big a deal.
Women love their hair whether its short, long, red or brown.
i don't remember the exact quote but i remember Maya Angelou saying that hair is a woman's glory. i know i love my hair. its all natural, needs a major trim and highlights but its mine. i take care of it. i got nothing against weave...as long as it looks good.
and jawn in the picture....her weave doesn't look good.
Self esteem people. lets holler at some!


Anyway.... Boondocks..... lets do it
a Maury and Boondocks Colabo. Take the stories straight from Maury and Jerry Springer and feed it right into the writers of the Boondocks.


ps. the above picture is a visual representation of a juvenile n***a moment.

k!dult

Saturday June 26th was the k!dult youth leadership conference hosted by Pharrell. it was the first kidult conference and it was in New York. The wonderful miss Field had an extra ticket so she invited me to go. i'm so glad she did because i had a great time. i didn't really take any pictures, but i walked away with a lil more than a few snapshots.

The conference was well organized and engaging the entire time. Normally i get bored during lectures or when there is a speaker standing on a podium telling me what i SHOULD be doing. Kidult wasn't like that. There were mentoring sessions and time allotted for mingling with other people or asking speakers questions. Pharrell performed for a lil at the end of the conference, but he made it very clear that the point of the entire day was the get inspired and motivated to do more and be more than just a teen.

i thought about selling cookies this summer, but after hearing this guy speak about how he started a business selling brownies, i know i need to stop fooling around and get to getting.
i really appreciate the opportunity Pharrell is giving us as young people to network and ask questions. Pharrell could just have easily donated money to charity or done nothing at all. He instead took the time out and money to help us get ahead.
Thanks,

for the stolen ones....

i started writing a poem down my thigh because i didn't have paper. There has been a lot of sadness around philly and my community. i felt i had to write something down.


ahhh death you rear your ugly head again.
not to take one of mine but one of those in alliance.
you do it just to tease take the innocent with thunder and regret.
you make us blame ourselves,
question our motives,
and shed tears we didn't expect to use for years.
ahhh death you're a tricky one you are. knock us off our toes,
put weapons in the hands of the weak,
to bring the living closer together.
we light candles in the darkness
but we can't ligh candles in our hearts.
i wasn't expecting to see you so soon.
felt like yesterday when he was stolen from the love.
was this some sick reminder that my life is short,
that love is undying
and appreciation can raise hundreds?
with all the pain you caused taking him from us
and her from them,
we are all learning to overcome.
send letters of affection and take pictures of friendships.
join in times of pain and rejoice in our memories.
tattoo love poems down our spines to support our ambition.
ahhh death you slip in and out of life.
i will never forget you and i surely won't get used to you.
for to lay down and take pain is to give up.
moving on, overcoming and remembering
is not the same as accepting and becoming consumed with the concept of you.
i'm choosing to remember and do better.
live out what they were not permitted to do.
most importantly tell those i love what matters most
their presence, even for just a moment, makes my life worth living

bamboos

i crushed my trademark bamboo hoops!
Valen told me i was no longer an around the way girl lol
not that i was a true around the way girl in the first place, but its the principle my earrings are gone and i feel a little naked.





I want a girl with extensions in her hair
Bamboo earrings
At least two pair
A Fendi bag and a bad attitude
That's all I need to get me in a good mood
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing
Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop
Once she gets pumping its hard to make the hottie stop
She likes to dance to the rap jam
She sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams
Honey coated complexion
Using Camay
Lets hear it for the girl she's from around the way

beyonce is a pinup

i hate on Beyonce sometimes, who doesn't?
Some times though its not hate....she is just doing the most.

BUT....

today i approve of something she is doing. i like this video a lot.



i had to listen to it a few times to like the song and i'm still not sure if i like it. i feel a little like she is yelling at me...but i guess she is mad.

i just love love love pinups and the 50's fashion. Everything she has on in this video is just so cute. From the sunglasses to the shoes she is just too cute!

i think i am going to try and track down nail polish like hers, the color its fun and summery.
(the color on blogs is never the way i expect it to be)


Why don't you love me? Tell me baby why don't you love me when i make me so easy to love. Why don't you need me? Tell me baby why don't you need me when i make me so damn easy to need.

SHHHH......




Today is the day of silence. it is the day we sit in silence to represent the silence LGBTQ people must feel everyday. We take for granted the ability to voice opinions, beliefs, dreams, desires, and love. Today we keep in mind those who cannot.
This is a silent movement, a silent protest against discrimination and violence. be silent for your brother, sister, mother, father, cousin, daughter, son, aunt, uncle, grandchildren and friends.

"There are times when silence has the loudest voice."-Leroy Brownlow

"See how nature-trees, flowers, grass-grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls."-Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"The best answer to anger is silence."-unknown

"In the end antiblack, antifemale, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing-antihumanism."-Shirley Chisholm

"I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, its in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it"-Marlo Thomas

"I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant.”-Paul Newman

last year i had on my green tape all day at school. My lil sis and i organized probably the biggest day of silence at Central High School of Philadelphia. There were students all over school wearing different colored duct tape to symbolize they are being silent for the day.

this year.... unfortunately i am unable to be silent. i will be going to a family event and will be meeting dozens of people. I am all for making a statement, but i do not support being rude to family members. i will be ignoring all phone calls though and limiting my talking to a speak when spoken to situation.

birthdays are fun and i think my lady is pretty gosh darn fun. i really appreciate all that she has done for me, my family and extended family members and friends. i have several friends who call lady mommy, auntie and honey.

documentary

Fall from Grace



i just finished watching this documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas. There are so many things i could say about this documentary, but they would be obvious. The message the Phelps family is spreading is offensive, hateful, and misleading. Their children are wrapped into this "religion" and do not even understand the power and hate behind the message they are spreading.

i am not a religious person, nor would i say i am a very patriotic person, but i was shocked by the tings these people had to say. According to Fred Phelps my ass is going STRAIGHT to hell. i'm sure that would be true if i believed in hell lol.

it just makes me really sad to see the kids holding picket signs that say: god hates you, thank god for dead soldiers, and fags are evil. When asked what was God's message and what did the signs mean the kids did not have a clear answer. Some of them just said "i don't know, but i know God hates them....". i know it is just one family and they are not going to take over the world, but they are a scary group of individuals.

i was relieved to see that 4 of Fred Phelp's children left the church. They described him as abusive and sick minded. He needs psychiatric care and i am concerned that the younger members of the church will grow up to be serial killers. One of the little boys was saying he gets so mad that he wants to kill the people who say mean things to him, but he can't because god will. That shit is scary!

What is going to happen when lil Johnny gets to high school and he snaps because he does not have any friends, or he has a dream that god tells him to kill in the name of the lord?

i understand legally the government cannot tell them to shut the hell up or leave people alone. But i wish there was a way to make them hush....removal of vocal cords maybe?

i believe in karma and what goes around comes around. I don't wish ill will on the Phelps family, i really hope they have some kind of epiphany and change their ways. i doubt the older church members will gain any kind of enlightenment but there is hope for the younger members. Some of Phelps's oldest children realized his madness and ran away from him 25-30 years ago and haven't spoken to him since. Phelps is like a zillion years old maybe when he passes away his grand children will say F this crap we out!

The church travels all over the world and have to have the police protect them. They came to my high school when i was a senior and they were belligerent on levels i have never seen sober people behave. They never stay too long in a new city. i'm sure if they tried to set up their church in philly they would get their asses kicked within 30 mins of putting up that god hates fags sign. we are an aggressive breed of people in philly a angry gay flash mob would be an interesting sight to see.... i might have to support that lol

i RARELY EVER make allusions to god or religion, but i see it fit today.
i personally believe i am loved by my family friends and the creator for who i am, what i have done, what i have and will learn in this life. I will screw some stuff up, but i will also create, explore and love in ways words cannot express. i am an embodiment of my family's love and that is good enough for me.

i don't speak french and can't count

i don't know if i have the mental stability to be taking both math and French at the same time!

i haven't taken any form of math since my junior year of high school. Even then i wasn't good at it. i had a tutor and just barely finished the year with a C in precalc. Math is just not my thing, never was and i highly doubt it ever will be.

French on the other hand.... i used to be good at it i swear i did. i barely even had to try it came so natural to me. Then i got to college and forgot how to say the alphabet—i'm dead serious i don't remember the alphabet.

Clearly i need a tutor. i have every intention of getting on that. it would be wonderful if my tutor was a double major studying french and math. i'm sure that person wouldn't be very fun, but they would help me keep my GPA up and right now that is all i care about.

i am smart, i promise...just not today. today i am your average bear. FAIL

my valentine


you make shameful decisions but its ok...so do i.

"Val i need help"-- "Ok, I'm not the lord so results may vary"

OOOO BABY.....

i fell...

True fcukin story!



conclusions we have come to:
  • lace front weaves are only acceptable for Beyonce everyone else looks busted
  • people act crazy when its warm
  • the redline is not safe for young women early in the morning
  • "were you drunk when you did that?" is sadly never the reason for our behavior—we are just crazy
  • when all else fails burst into song
  • i'm biased towards amazons

Spring Brizake

i went home. i had fun. i'm still in love with the people in my life. i partied, i slept, i laughed, i cried, i ran, i jumped, i skipped and i took a bunch of effing pictures so i have to share:


















in the process of uploading these pictures i decided that i hate uploading pictures. ALL of my pictures are dull looking and i don't know why.... i have a major love hate relationship with the internet right now.

not only are they ugly they will kill u!!

UGG BOOTS


People wear their fluffy comfortable boots thinking they are safe....but they are wrong.
according to an article on yahoo.com by Joanna Douglass. She writes about the damage UGG boots are doing to people's bodies.

"As the boots place stress on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones, everyday use can cause long-term problems for wearers like bunions, hammertoes, arthritis, tendinitis, and issues with their Achilles tendon, knees, hips and lower back"

All i can say is damn.
i always knew the boots were evil.


Lessons learned:
  1. Never sacrifice cute for comfort.
  2. uggs will kill you
  3. arch supports save lives

its official im a hostile person

i took a hostility questionnaire for one of my classes today. The test measured your cynicism, anger and aggression. Based on my results i might explode one day.

i am really curious to know what other people i know will get on the test.

The test is kinda long but interesting: Hostility Test

in cynicism i got a score high enough that i should be concerned. Anger and Aggression i got very high (like i should be super concerned). The end result was my hostility can become detrimental to my health. I laugh just as much as i yell. i think i will be ok..... hopefully

i strongly believe that from cynicism comes guiltless wit.

Some people are like Slinkies—not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs." -unknown

The ballet

Today i went to see the Joffrey Ballet perform Cinderella.
I love the ballet and like all things i love some one around me manages to ruin it. =(
A small child was seated behind me kicking my chair till the point i couldn't take it anymore. i turned around n snapped at her to stop. Oblivious mom remained oblivious.


Note to self: matinee show is for old ladies and children–AVOID the matinee show at all costs.


All in all i really liked the show. The last professional ballet i saw was the nutcracker and i don't even remember how old i was. I love the theater and would really like to go as much as possible. I saw the DePaul theater school perform A Raisin in the Sun and that was fantastic, aside from the irritating audience clapping and laughing when nothing was happening.

is it possible to watch a show with only people you like in the room? if so, where?

I think i'm going to try and see Cinderella again with friends and the evening show that starts after bedtime.

watch the preview for Cinderella its lovely.

whats goin on

i am in Chicago and despite my recent attitude i really do love Chicago and DePaul. i'm determined to be okay. I may not be ok right now but i will be. My Daddy taught me that.

i'm gonna try and take some more pictures and get back in the gym and dance. pictures and dance always add stability to my fluctuating emotional levels.

lil sad poem

filled with hot tears and sad dreams
closed eyes burn,
memories sting.
time doesn't heal all wounds,
we just get used to them.
