Girl Please!!!

Today I'm launching my first-ever installment of GIRL PLEASE. From time to time I may come up with a list of characters, opinions, and ever encompassing outlandish-ness for yours, but more specifically my, entertainment. Welcome to the circus!!!


Girl Please! Case No. 1

’ She says she’s had therapy because inside her flamboyant outbursts is a scared deserted child and: ‘What I hate is people who, because you are in the public eye, try to take advantage of you, blackmail you. Unfortunately what happens is that lawyers become your best friend . . . What has been written about me is out of the hemisphere. Just wrong . . . I don’t care if they call me a bitch. A bitch is someone defending their rights . . . I’m a fighter.’ But ‘I’ve learned to meditate, to give myself some breaks during the day. I’ve rediscovered my good humor.

It’s clear that Naomi definitely needs to learn how to chill the hell out. May we suggest aromatherapy or purchasing a new weave to cover that raggedy-ass hairline?

Girl Please!! Case No. 2

So it's lunch time at my office and I'm starving so I heat up the left overs I brought in from dinner last night - baked chicken, cabbage & sausage, mac & cheese, and white rice when (you didn't need to know that part, just thought I'd show off my cooking skills) when one of my associates from the office says "you know, your not supposed to heat up food in plastic containers when you're using the microwave". I explained that maybe that was the case but at times I was just too lazy to put my food in a "microwave safe" dish...hell, i'm not even sure I own a microwave safe dish. And there was no way I was about to throw away my lunch! Now, I'd heard this some time ago or maybe read it in an email somewhere about how microwave plastics release something called dioxins that can cause breast cancer but for some reason when my associate said something about it this afternoon...something didn't ring true so I decided to get my inspector gadget on and investigate further. Turns out it's a urban legend....

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The claim that plastic food wraps and containers can release dioxins in the microwave oven is misleading. First, the vast majority of plastics used in food wraps and packaging containers do not contain the chemical constituents that can form dioxins. Second, dioxins are a family of compounds that are produced by combustion at high temperatures. They can only be formed during combustion at temperatures typically above 700 degrees Fahrenheit. In other words, even if all of the constituents were present, you also would need to have a very hot fire in your microwave oven, in which case you probably wouldn’t eat the food anyway.

Need I say more...

Riff Raff, Bafoonery, and Plain Old Entertainment

I'll be the first to admit that something about this man's wife urks the hell outta me. I'll also be the first to say that I'll definitely be one of the first to buy his album. As annoying as he is his talent is, indeed, undeniable.

So the word is tonight Khia will be eliminated from the VH1 reality series Miss Rap Supreme. She had a long rant on AllHipHop.com today about how it was all a ploy for publicity. If you say so...Khia, girl, you a trip but I ain't mad at your new single.

I can not tell a lie, shits hot!

When The Going Gets Tough...Get Your Ass Out The Way

Mood: Slightly More Optimistic Than Yesterday

As the weather warms so does my spirits! Seems each day it gets a little warmer and I notice more and more trees blossoming and suddenly the possibilities seem quite intriguing.

Last night Fa invited me to go to Butter with her. If you don't know Butter is THE place to be on Monday nights. You'll find everybody from Diddy to Jay Z partying it up at Butter on Monday nights and my ass fell asleep on the sofa and didn't wake up until well after I cared to give a shit about going. Fa is this chick i met awhile ago at the club and she seems cool enough though we haven't really hung out since then. Hopefully we'll make that happen. It's not everyday you meet people on your level that you can actually stand long enough to kick it with. Perhaps next Monday i'll roll through with her. Ain't nothing like a scene to get the juices flowing!

All Along The Watchtower

Mood: Borderline Moody/Melancholy

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief


This picture of my cousin Zaria speaks volumes to me!!




I woke up this morning in a fairly placid state of mind. I peeked at the morning sky from my warm, comfortable bed and was pleased to find the sky a bright blue, the sun shining bright. Unfortunately, something happened between me actually rising from my bed and me taking that first step outside my front door. A mood begin to set in and I begin laboring over things that I have no control over. A helplessness set in and by the time I'd reached the door to my job I was out and out displeased with my life. Not sure why I felt that way as nothing has happened to warrant even the slightest inkling of that feeling. I wonder how the stars and moon are aligning today...somethings got to be up. I'm not my normally disgusting happy self today. Thank goodness I have Jimi Hendrix to get me through.

Miami Baby!

When i tell you that Miami was the bomb, please believe me! Me and my girls decided to take a long weekend and get out of the city to relax and decompress. We arrived on a Thursday night and didn't really stop partying til the following Monday. As soon as our feet touched ground I could feel the warm air engulf my body and immediately it felt like it was party time. I'd told my cuz Brandon that I'd be down for the weekend and so he and his girlfriend made the short trip south to hang out themselves as see me! It seems I never get to see him anymore since he lives in Florida and I in New York but we made it work!

Our nights consisted of lots of drinking and dancing and a celebration of some sort until sunrise. And each day we'd hang out by the ocean or by some random pool. Like the rooftop at the Gansevoort which has a beautiful 360 degree view of the beach.

Spending time in Miami reminds me of the Kanye song "Maaannn, why can't life always be this easy!"
Check out some of the pictures from our crazy weekend here...

Miami!!!!!

As you can tell from the pictures, we pretty much left no stone unturned and paid visits to Mansion, Sweet, Step, Love & Hate, The Delano Hotel and the Gansevoort Hotel Rooftop. We had dinner at the famous Prime112 and the infamous China Grill as well as had brunch at the Raleigh! I met a ton of people that were really cool and we have decided that this must be a trip we take every few months or so.

I know this sounds pretensions but if you've never been to Miami you absolutely must go!
