The Bad Guy


In any and every movie the good guy always wins. Thats a given. It's not difficult to understand why the good guy is "good". You never ask people why they do whats right. Why are they so nice. It's easy. It goes without question. People are nice, because its the right thing to do. Right? Well the good guy always bores me. They never require any character development. They are simply good. Theres never any depth to their character. Unless you count the fact that their probably in love with the some other characterless character in the movie.

Now the Villain is the one that often holds my interest. I'm a person who always longs to understand the logic behind people's actions. Why was the Joker so evil in The Dark Knight? Why was the Wicked Witch of the West so wicked in The Wizard of Oz? Why was Scar so jealous of his brother in The Lion King? I'm sure these Villains have a rather interesting story worth telling to explain why they are so villainous. But we never see that part. We just see the finished product. The result. Besides, people aren't born evil or cruel. We all start out innocent. With a clean slate. Everyone is the way they are for a reason.

My Happy Easter B-Day


Today, on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010, i made 25 years old. Today, realizing that i'm now 25, was probably the least favorite day of my B-Day weekend.

So Friday my friends threw me an surprisingly well planned SURPRISE party at Club
Ampersand. I was actually surprised. The emotion most people know as "surprise" or "shock" is an emotion that is rarely tapped into on my end. And i mean very VERY seldom. But, they got me. A party that i will always remember. I know it took effort, because i'm one of those people who notice any and everything. But they put in work. We had a great time.

Saturday was a little less festive. My friends took me to the Trina concert. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but it was something different to do. And i always like to see people live to see how they execute. I can't truly STAN for someone until i see them live. Anybody can make a good album with good vocals, but you see them live and your kinda like..

"Wait, What?"....

*cough cough* Mariah Carey *cough cough*.


We arrived at the Venue for 10:00 pm on the dot. My friend,who is a hardcore Trina fan, had to be the 1st in line to get a good spot. Once we arrived at the door, i was told me a little short fat white man, who clearly doesn't have a television at home, that my shoulder porn was to "dangerous", and that i needed to change.
A few spikes never hurt anybody right? This is what i get for being adventurous. Normally, i'd be my regular preppy dressed self. I opted (against my better judgment) to be Lady Gaga-esque for my B-Day weekend. And I get turned away because i might stab somebody with my shoulders. Whatever Mr Security. Little fat fuck.

After retrieving my blazer out of the car, we stood patiently in the venue for hours upon hours waiting for Ms Amazing to arrive on stage. We were tortured with awful local artist, and even more awful fashions.




I was quite hard to to remain sane in such a atmosphere. My feet felt like they were about to give out at any minute. I wanted to scream and curse, punch the fat security guard who wouldn't let me in because he's never seen a goddamn music video in his life, and make a dramatic exit..but i didn't. I maintained my composure.

Finally, at 2:35 am Trina and her ass arrived on stage.




And i must say i was amazed. You want to know what was so amazing? The fact that she could walk up and down the stage, high as a kite, with her eyes closed the entire time, and NOT fall flat on her face. Truly amazing. She did about 10 snippets of her various songs, and about 5 snippets of Beyonce's songs for whatever reason. All with her eyes closed, and with the energy of an 85 year old woman with a broken hip. At precisely 2:57 am, Trina began to say her goodbyes. Her album comes out May 4th. I know this, not because i was listening, but because she said it about 20 times in 5 minutes. After she walked off stage and into the back, i immediately left.

Sunday was Easter. Family Day. Yall know how that goes. We went to Boomtown Casino to spend the Birth Day Wheel. I lost. So my mom wrote me a nice little check. Thanks mom.

All and all though, my B-Day weekend was great. My friends shocked me. Trina shocked me. Everything was great.

Nicki's Minaj




I’m a huge Nicki Minaj fan. HUGE. I don’t think she’s the BEST rapper but I do think she is quite entertaining and original. Her lyrics are quite comical. I love her for the same reason why some people hate her. Her characteristics and her gimmicks. She’s funny as shit, seriously. But that’s what separates Nicki Minaj from the other female artist out. Diamond, Trina, Eve etc. Nothing sets them apart from each other. You can only say “eat my pussy” so many different ways. But Ms. Nicki will says she’ll put this pussy on your sideburns (or on chip tooth if your Fabolous). Work OUT Nicki!

Even though I do think everything she does is acting and she is a “character” she’s in fact entertaining. She’s different. Thus her hype....

WicKed



As a huge fan of the book "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire, i was ecstatic when my mother surprised me with tickets to see the Broadway play.

We all know the story of "The Wizard of Oz". Well "Wicked" is the same story, just from the Wicked Witch of the West's point of view. Her childhood, where she is from, and how she became so wicked. It also explains much of her relationship with the Good Witch, Glinda.

Even though the play was slightly different from the book, it still had the same moral. It achieved the same point as the book did.

Celebrity = Role model?


Ok, so here's the thing. I'm sure you have all heard about the comments India Aarie made about Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video, featuring Beyonce. If you haven't click here.

So this is my thing. Everyone has an opinion. That's cool. My only problem with her opinion was the whole "social responsibility" part. Like seriously, Celebrity's are not here to raise your children. They are here to entertain and make movies or music. The key word is ENTERTAIN. Lady Gaga shouldn't be anyones role model. And I personally feel like it's the parents job to explain to them the difference between TV and real life. I never saw something on television and was like "I want to be this person." But that's because my parents raised me to be well aware that TV was for entertainment. Acting is ACTING. And Artist put on persona's to sell albums. It's not REAL. And if its that serious then goddamnit they should only watch the Disney channel. If that is even an excuse because those children grow up to. What is your beloved role model seeking child going to do when Hannah Montana starts fucking Zac Efron. I guess it will be Miley's fault when your daughter gets pregnant at 14.

Lil Wayne said it best.

"If you need a role model, then you shouldn't have been born."

The real issue should be these grown ass women dressing like Nicki Minaj thinking that shit is cute. You look a flop and a fool ma am. And EVERYONE is laughing at you!

P.S. At the end of India's little opinion, She mentioned the little girl who said her favorite artist were Beyonce and Lady Gaga. India, shut up with that stupid lying.

Im nice. Not Friendly.

I thought i would do a blog on the difference between nice and outgoing. Simply because i think people associate them with the same thing. And they aren't totally the same thing. I think being outgoing and friendly does involve being nice, but being nice doesn't necessarily involve being outgoing. I'll explain.

I consider myself a nice person. I'm nice to my friends. My family. And i'm polite and pleasant when introduced to someone i don't know. I have manners. I was raised well. I can sell myself to just about anyone. I know this because i have never in all 24 yrs of my life not blown a job interview away. I always get the job. The only interview i didn't get was at "Footlocker". And thats because i didn't know what Jordans were. I don't wear tennis shoes (or anything with shoe strings for that matter), so it wasn't the job for me anyway. But thats why i do so well in customer service. I'm always the top seller. I'm can be very pleasant to be around. I've even mastered the smile and nod routine when dealing with a rude customer.
