chris rock on Oprah talking good hair

Oprah flips and flops her hair for Chris to prove that she has no weave, tracks, or fake hair hidden. Oprah was saying that most black women, especially the last few generations have struggled with their hair. She put up a picture of herself when she was a small child with pigtails and Chris Rock said she was still a slave back then! Hilarious. Her next photo was a little neater and longer ponytails he told her that was when she got her freedom. He continued to give a narrative comment on each of her looks, it was priceless.

Chris discussed how women initially denied and were ashamed of wearing weave. Oprah asked if Chris wanted women to be natural, and he said not at all. He thinks that women should be comfortable and do her hair for herself not what people will say or think.

O also covered Solange cutting off all of her hair. She revealed that she didn’t think she was as pretty with weave or that she didn’t get as much attention without the weave.  She wanted to remove herself from the bondage of her hair. Read More

thought thursday…
have you ever dated your ex

A twitter alert I received moments ago from Ryan Cameron asked if any of his listeners were Retrosexual. I tuned into V-103 to listen to the callers responses.

Retrosexual is explained as a person who reaches into their past to reconnect with an old flame and then starts a romantic relationship again. I guess I am Retrosexual, because I have been known to re date someone from the past. Read More

thought thursday…
text messages

I’ve been known to be a shy person for quite some time now. But with the help of text messaging I am able to say exactly how I feel. Am I hiding behind my full qwerty keypad? You could say that.

I usually don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, get involved in a verbal confrontation nor do I want to belittle some of the ignorance that comes across my screen. Read More

daddy's little girl

The beginning (and a little background)…

Well I think it’s only right to start at the beginning, so you will know where I am coming from and I think it will be good for me to recap my life, consider my future even gain a little perspective. I lived in Decatur, GA for more than half my life. My middle- class and rather close family consisted of my mother and father and an older brother. I was and still am a bona fide Daddy’s girl, despite my father’s demise in 1995, a month after my high school graduation. I think that’s where my life sort of changed.

It was difficult for me to see my

kanye west cuts off taylor swifts acceptane speech

Messy Monday is so easy this morning. The buzz this morning is about the ever so rude behavior of Mr. Egotistical himself. For those who were under a small cushion last night, or watching relevant television, MTV aired lived the 2009 Video Music Awards.

The show started off with an exciting tribute to MJ that included his sister Janet. As the evening progressed the category for The Best Female Video came up and Taylor Swift beat out Beyonce and a few others. As she began her acceptance speech Kanye Read More

wtf friday…

no-trust-logo

Not trusting your spouse is one thing. But to sign up for a service that will alter the number that is displayed to the person your calling is ridiculous. To go further, with this digital spyware service you can change your voice, you can record a call, you can send a text, and have the call sent to your email.

Let me rewind and say that I cannot knock this young man and his entrepreneurial mind. Read More

Obama Sept 11 Anniversary

WASHINGTON – On his first 9/11 anniversary as president, Barack Obama urged Americans to come together in service just as they united after the terrorist attacks eight years ago. (via Yahoo)

I always remember someone that I know personally oversleeping and missing a 8am meeting in the World Trade Building eight years ago.
