I’m Not Your Freakin Maid!

by Star on June 14, 2010

My girl had me rolling when she sent me this email:
It all started with me making the bed, washing  a few dishes here and there, tidying up the bathroom because you know how ratchet some men can be about their bathrooms…how I hated his nasty assed bathroom you know (pee drops, hair shavings, that ring around the toilet and shower).  I mean I was spending a lot of time over there I needed to shower, hell I needed to use it. Of course he marveled over the great job I did cleaning up and all. It should come to no surprise that this muthaf***er expects me to do his laundry, irons his clothes, and be at his beck and call when he needs a bruski, more ice, some hot sauce, and another piece of meat and some potatoes too, thank you baby.

I love my man don’t get me wrong, but I ain’t his freakin maid. He better ask somebody! Well OK he asked me…I’m all for taking care of my man, I think a woman should, but the other day we just  finished eating Taco Bell in the car he gave me a napkin as I proceeded to wipe my face, he says no, “Wipe my face” and he wasn’t the one driving….I was. How can I tell him that I’m not his momma or his maid without twisted my neck side to side?

Tell him you’re not his maid without twisting your neck (Smile!)

No Such Thing As Originality

by Star on June 6, 2010

Original:

The source or cause from which something arises: A person of fresh initiative or inventive capacity.

“I was told in one of my screenwriting classes that there are no original ideas in writing a script, it’s just a matter of how the story is told.”

…So, so true. When you think about it everyone is inspired by someone. When I think of originators and those that are authentic I think of Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Little Richard (yea Richard), even R.Kelly. I know like you that they were inspired by others, but they took something from those that inspired them and added their own PLADOW, flavor, spice, umph & took it to a whole nother level. They re-invented at the same time distinguished themselves from those that motivated them. A lot of artist today are inspired by others, but they just “jack” & you can’t really tell who the hell they are.

The 411…

by Star on May 11, 2010

I have totally neglected this blog. I just haven’t been that excited about anything to blog about it. Lemme give you the 411, as in my personal views on recent headlines. In addition, I’ll update you on what I’m working on.

Twitter= Haven’t tweeted that much lately either. Some people that I follow are really irritating me. Like stop hating on everyone. It’s like some people are purposely mean. How hard it must be to be a celebrity, just about everyone has something to say and it ain’t always nice.

The celebs that constantly tweet are narcissistic, attention whores in my opinion. There’s absolutley nothing wrong with updating your fans on your projects, but when that said celeb in on tweeter you can’t help but think….ummm don’t you got something you should be working on?

I will say this I love watching my favorite shows with my tweeps & twitter is also good for keeping me updated on current events & what’s on TV.

Video Chicks/Models= Can’t blame them for trying to come up, being cute only last so long. I must admit though I would like some of these chicks build a huge brand, create their own online magazines, boutiques, workout videos…something besides getting knocked up. OK that was tasteless, not all of them are about the 18 year plan. My point is get what they can get while they’re still hot and capitalize on it.

Dwayne Wade & his Ex = Fame can change the person that you once knew.  Once upon a time they were in love, they had kids, they married. For the sake of the kids I hope they both can move on in a more positive direction. They need to talk to Will & Jada.

Lindsay Lohan= Sad in so many ways. Such a good actress that is slipping away. What she needs is stability. What she needs is a new city to live in. What she needs is rehab. What she needs is a stern parental like presence in her life. What she needs is a good friend that’s gonna tell her NO. I hope she gets well, denial is not cute when you used to look like this:

Lindsay was so pretty here.

Change Some Don’t Want

by Star on March 23, 2010

Change, this word is scary for a lot of people.

With the health care bill being passed many are gulping, protesting, and shaking their muthaF’in heads. “Absolutely not. Not this bill. No, No, No,” the pundits say, the opposition says, the naysayers say.

The United States Health Care System sucks, it’s broke as in needs a fixing.

Conservative = traditional, cautious, likes things the same.

I’m all for democracy, freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah…however those who have and has had health insurance don’t know shyt about the struggles of the have nots.

My advice:

Give the bill a chance to LIVE before you attempt to KILL it.

Ummm Changed My Mind

Some of My Barbie Collection

I have a bad habit of holding on to old things. I just gotta let go of the past  and move the heck on. I decided to clean out my closet, get rid of old papers, college notebooks, and some of my vintage  toys.

EBay was the destination for my Barbie van, glamour house, salon,workout center, and pool (not pictured). OK lemme  back up the original plan was to have my future daughter that has not been conceived yet inherit mommas Barbie collection. Although my clock is ticking, I could use some extra bucks in my pocket. And really do I want her playing with a 1980′s van?

As I went through my old stuff and  opened up the boxes nostalgia kicked in. My stuff is in good condition. Barbie & The Rockers, The Heart Family, Tropical Barbie, and a few more. I don’t know why a lot of their heads popped off though. The clothes are so big and 80′s with Dynasty written all over them.

Needless to say I decided that I’m not selling shit! I got stingy. I’m not even gonna let my daughter play with my stuff. She can play with my Cabbage Patches & Real Baby’s (pictured in the lower right hand corner). BTW I was doing the Angelina way back then I had black and white babies!

Letting Crazy Go, Have you?

by Star on February 18, 2010

I gotta let this trick go!

“She makes you trust her against all logical judgment, makes you want to please her even if your own happiness is compromised, and imprints herself on your mind with disconcerting speed and force.”

I read this quote years ago in Utne Magazine. I felt like this quote was talking directly to me because I had a friend just like this! Words to describe this person: Liar, fake, insecurity, attention whore, reckless behavior, controlling, manipulator, sneaky.I think many of us had a friend like this at one point in our lives. The question is, are you still friends? If you’re no longer friends with the person what did you do to separate yourself from the person?
