The Hate, The Love & All the Above

1. The Song: Breakup- Mario ft/ Gucci Mane & Sean "The Pen" Garrett
In any other circumstance, a collabo by the likes of Sean Garrett, newly bald Mario & grammatically incorrect Gucci Mane, would be completely unacceptable. For some reason however, this atrocity on paper actually, dare I say... works. Hmm.

2. The Television Show: Real World: Cancun
Though this has the typical reality show setup (built up & let down drama), I actually like it. Maybe its Jonna's creepy eyes, maybe Jasmine's drunken spazz, maybe even Ayiia's self mutilation. Idk. But, this show has got me going (Day26 voice).... ok won't be repeating that again.

3. The Person: Ryan Reynolds
Cute. Funny. Slightly douchtastic swag. I mean does it get any better?! Never even NOTICED his screw-ability until "The Proposal" SWOON. And looking back, can't BELIEVE I was so neglectful to his awesomeness in a fat suit in "Just Friends". Bottom line, he rocks socks and ScarJo is simply not worthy.

4. The Band: Dirty Money
Dirty Money is literally 1/3 washed up rapper/mogul, 1/3 ex-DK/mildly talented singer & 1/3 Estelle's twin that we've never heard of. But, their music is so simply boss. The only precursors to their album can be heard on MTV's "Making His Band". Definitely worth the hour of viewership, just to hear some snippets.


5. The Episode: "Football Player" from The Show: "MADE"
Aside from the half naked gorgeousness of (football player to be) Christian's teammates, the utter awesomeness of this scrawny geek makes this episode of MADE timeless. Even better, he (after a year of public school hell) transferred back to private school by the end of the episode and never actually made it into being a football player. Classic.

6. The Item: LG Vu
Music, tv, notepad, camera.... What can I say? It is my lifeline... oh and did I mention phone? Yeah that too...

7. The Movie: The Orphan
Ok, so this movie is officially the creepiest shit I've ever seen in life! I haven't seen a suspense movie this good in years so I HAD to "give it up to the ghost"..... literally :/

8. The Website: www.overheardinnewyork.com
New Yorkers are dicks! And this websites is filled with tons of their daily dickish anecdotes heard throughout the city in the most random places (i.e. the subway, street corners, etc.) It totally makes me admire their assholic ways.

9. The Hate: Bow Wow

The thought of Bow Wow makes me throw up in my mouth.... repeatedly.... need I say more??

10. The Love: Reality Television

Yeah it's pathetic but, all of this RealWorldRealChanceofLoveRealHousewivesofAtlanta crap is completely enticing... in all of the wrong ways, but what can I say...I'm addicted. And although the only thing "real" about these shows are the titles, I say keep the faux drama coming, Monday-Friday.

Video Newness: "So Good" Day26

I love love love this song! And now that there's a video with plenty of hoes, singing & "Day26 groovin" as me & my friend like to refer to it as, I am more than excited to present it on my blog. Here it t-i-s: 

Mr. President Porch Monkey???

The story behind this post goes like this. I'm sitting in my dorm watching reruns on BET and all of a sudden, a commercial comes on. "Do you want you very own piece of the American dream? Then get your VERY OWN Obama sneakers!!" Needless to say, I immediately had a "wtf" moment. I was even more flabbergasted when the commercial added that not only do you get the sneakers but, "an  Obama basketball free with purchase!"..... Naturally, I assumed this must be a joke but, after further research I found out it wasn't. I couldn't believe it. This is so disappointing and disrespectful to our president. No other president had ridiculous memorabilia, let alone some damn sneakers & a basketball. And why is he on these things in particular? Because he's black? *side eye* Why not just put him on a bucket of chicken & the side of a watermelon. And while their at it, we might add Michelle to pack of weave. Don't make any sense. Until, we put president Clinton on a box of condoms & president Bush on a cowboy hat &  a rifle, people need to stop. 

Redemption Song: "Changed Man" -Chris Brown

Ok, so no one is on team Chris Brown like I am, but I am sorry to say I can't stand his newest "forgive me please" song in efforts to regain his image. First, it was the YouTube driven apology video. Now, this desperate attempt to have his fans see how much he's "changed." Initially, I felt sorry for him but, that sorrow is soon wearing off and is causing myself (and I believe a lot of his other fans) to think that he's becoming a little pathetic. If he continues trying to prove that he's changed by apologizing & singing his testimonies he'll never regain the fame he had. All he needs to do is hook up with Pharrell, get a hot beat, throw a rapper on it (preferably Drake *wink, wink*), sing, make a little dance to it & all will be forgiven & forgotten. Because frankly, all this crying on the internet crap is NOT getting the job done C.Breezy.

Just A Lil Sumin' Sumin' To Pass The Time

If you're anything like me you get bored at your job (or internship) fairly easily. The constant repetitive format, of meetings, phone calls & spreadsheets can soon become extremely dull. So once you're done sneaking behind your bosses back to fulfill your Twitter/Facebook duties, here's four of my favorite blogs to pass the time.

1) Overheard In NY (overheardinnewyork.com)- I don't live there (YET!) but, I am a COMPLETE NYC head! I love everything about the city & reading these daily anecdotes about random sayings heard all around town makes, living there seem all the more desirable.

2) Ed's Intern Diaries (edinterndiaries.blogspot.com)- Ok, so I may be a little partial to this because I'm a journalism major and its kind of in my field but, sometimes hearing about the daily traumas & triumphs of other working folks is are just what you need to make it though your day. This blog is no exception. It chronicles the lives of 4 magazine interns as the go through their summer internship. Interesting stuff to say the least.

3) College Stories (collegestories.com)- As most people, I have personally experienced college hell more than once. Dorm room drama, all nighters, class stress, finals fury, the works! But, collegestories.com is a site filled with some of the craziest (and most relatible) college stories you've ever heard. If it doesn't make you feel better at your own college situation, its sure to at least make you laugh at someone elses...

4) This Is Why You're Fat (thisiswhyyourefat.com)- This one is pretty self explanatory. It's a blog completely FILLED with pics & descriptions of the weirdest & most calorie packed foods you can imagine (ever heard of a cap'n crunch donut? yeah didn't think so). So this is def the one to log onto when you need a push to work out. I'm about to to get on the Wii Fit just writing about it.

So, hopefully these sites will make that 8 hour shift go by a little faster.

Toodles.
