According to Young Jeezy.
Sometimes I truly feel like an outsider looking in when it comes to pop-culture. When will some shit just go out of style? Why the f&$! do people even like Young Jeezy? How many ways can you rap about being a hustler/thug/killa before people start to say "gtfoh, you’re from Wisconsin!" When I step away from BET and the like for a while, I mistakenly start to believe that common sense is the new pink. So when I hear someone say "the only opportunities for Black men out here is ball, clothing, or rapping" (I swear some dude just said that on this BET J commercial) it makes my head spin.In 2007 I’d like to see the following go out of style:
- Young Jeezy- Comparisons b/t the civil rights movement and gay rights (sorry but it’s just not the same!)
- Carmen Bryan, Karrin Stephens, Melissa Ford, Buffy the Body (I don’t ever want to see or hear about those hoes ever again)- People not knowing how to navigate the internet. (I actually met someone who didn’t know what Google was)
- Women seeking advice on how to get upgraded to ‘wifey’ from 3-year f&ck-buddy status (sorry but upgrades are rare; once you’ve easily given up the goods it’s too late to negotiate your status in the relationship)- Cliché advice. Play hard to get…don’t return his calls. What a crock of BS.
In other news, submitting my resignation letter was harder than I it would be. I can’t give a rational reason for that, but all I know is that I was nervous til I bit the bullet and got it over with. Only one week left here, then some much needed time off before I start the new gig.I spent all of Friday evening getting my hair braided but other than that my weekend was great. I took my little sis to the African-American Museum (which we’d never heard of until last year when they’ve apparently been here for 30 years smh) and to dinner on Saturday. At any rate, we had fun…I’m happy my sis didn’t think it was corny…you know how teenagers can be. For any of you who’ve been reading since I was at Blogspot, you may remember me mentioning that my mom was on the verge of being sent to Iraq but was able to get out of it a couple of years ago. Well we’re here again but this time it doesn’t seem as though she’ll be able to wiggle her way out of this one. At first I was kind of angry, firstly because she waited until its damn near time for her to deploy before telling me, secondly because she had the opportunity to get out of the reserves during Bush’s regime but chose to stay in. Being as though she’s just a part-timer in the army, there’s really no real benefit for her to stay in and risk being sent to Bombanigga…er I mean Baghdad. Regardless, we have to face it…she doesn’t seem particularly concerned but damn that, my ass is worried. My sister and brother will be staying with their father full-time. However, since I’ve personally witnessed the fact that his wife is a grade A BITCH, I’m sure that my sister will spend lots of time at my place which will take a little getting used to. That child can EAT.
*Sigh* We’ll get through it.
I’m so glad you up in your resignation. I hope you like your new job. Did your boss say anything to you about the 2week notice?
I can’t believe your mom is in the army? I hope everything works out with that.
By the way, who’s Carmen Bryan? Never heard of her but since you put her name with superhead and Buffy then I’ll take a wild guess. lol! Take care
Their reactions were good. They took me out to lunch yesterday and I’ve received nothing but well wishes
Carmen is Nas’ baby mama…Google her for the rest lol

Iraq hu? Yea my mom is in the army full time, any given moment she could be shipped out. young jeezy is starting to agrivate me too. i have a friend in ATL who is an “up and comming” he actually does reaaaally good. I have seen first hand that his drug money pays for his music career. But like I told him, you cant rap about what you do forever. Too short has been rapping about pimpin for 30 yrs…but he aint no Jay-Z lol

Sorry to hear about your mom.
Oh and please send Young Dro and Young Joc away with Young Jeezy. *lol*
LOL. And just who do they think they’re foolin’ with that ‘young’ stuff in front of their names? I’m sure they’re all at least 37.
