What does, "I'm just telling it like it is" mean? I can't STAND when someone says that has an excuse to be overly rude.  There are ways to say things to someone that won't ignite an emotional response to you "telling it like it is."

I find there is an extreme difference in people who "tell it like it is" and people who "keep it real." Most people who say they are telling it like it is, don't keep it real.  They're manipulators of emotions and circumstances.  Does it sound like I'm venting? Perhaps...I'm just allergic to mess... especially if I'm the recipient of a late night teary eyed phone call from one of my ace's over someone "keeping it real."

The moral of my thought bubble is this...think before you speak.  Don't just go shooting off at the mouth based off a feeling.


My grandmother once told me, "baby, people will forget what you say, but they'll never forget how you make them feel." 

Just found out that Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) and Swizz Beatz (@therealswizzz) uploaded each other's 17 year-old pictures as their background.

Is it just me that finds it oddly funny that Beatz still doesn't have his twitter account verified?



Homewreckers Need Love Too…

Hi all! 

Don't laugh at the title...I'm reemphasizing that it may not be funny to you, but it sure is to me. 

I’m a low key nerd when it comes to it. I love technology, I like museums, understanding how things work and so on…I’m full of USEFUL facts that find a way of blurting themselves out from time to time.  

Maybe I should go on Jeopardy? Hmmm.…

Anyway, I wanted to share with you the top 10 Funniest Words according to me.  Some because of their spelling and some because of their meaning.  Watch when you read it…you’ll see what I mean.

1. Abibliophobia—the fear of running out of reading material
2. Anencephalous—Lacking a brain.  (I’ve used this when talking to my boss. Makes me laugh EVERYTIME)
3. Brouhaha—a loud uproar
4. Bowyang—A strap that hold the pant legs together. (I can’t even begin to explain why this is funny to me).
5. Cockalorum—A small conceited man (if I have to explain why…please don’t comment on this blog)
6. Callipygian—Having an attractive boo-tay! (This is funny only because there’s an actually word for MY butt lol)
7. Ecdysiast—An exotic dancer. (Say the word slowly—you’ll get it)
8. Quean—A scandalous woman. (When your man calls you his Queen, make sure it’s QuEEN and not QuEAn)
9. Ranivarious—Frog-eating (The word is funny to me)
10. Vomitary—An exit or outlet. (This one makes me chuckle)

What are your favorite funny words? Let’s all have a nerd moment. 

"Someday, you're going to wish to be a kid again," said my mother. My personal and quiet rebuttal at 14 was, "hellllllllll no, I can't do anything!" but alas she was right. I enjoy the freedom of adulthood, but what I miss more is me trusting my inner child's spontaneity. There have been too many times where a child's belief in fantasy and the never ending possibilities were needed and my mind simply said, "no, not possible."

I've written about him before, and I'm writing about him again. SENS MUSIQ- one of the best lyricist to step out of the norm has first surprised me with his integral lyrics and I am YET AGAIN surprised with his social media integration.

Our president is 49 today! President Barack Obama got a couple of birthday presents that didn't need unwrapping, and the White House says they were the highlight of his day.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco, California overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage today, saying the voter-approved rule violates the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians.

"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license," Walker wrote in his decision. "Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples."

Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage says, "Big surprise! We expected nothing different from Judge Vaughn Walker, after the biased way he conducted this trial. With a stroke of his pen, Judge Walker has overruled the votes and values of 7 million Californians who voted for marriage as one man and one woman."

What is your opinion on the seesaw rulings of Prop 8?

This is Day 4 of my cleanse...and here's a video in response to your e-mails from my tweets!

Too many people just really don't have the fundamentals of life down...one of them is swimming. African-American children drown at a rate almost three times higher than white children, according to Make a Splash, a national child-focused water safety initiative created by the USA Swimming Foundation. Of course this is not just solely based on African-Americans, it's the family's themselves. Imagine being a mother or a father and which your children dying in a fight to swim. You can't do anything about it because YOU can't swim--which is the case in point to this family below in Shreveport, Louisiana.
