Music over Sex

Music over Sex.... yesssss as shocking as that may be to some of you, that is the answer many teens today are choosing, which i think is a good step in the right direction

Take a look at the article below:

Youth and Music Survey 2009

"Marrakesh Records and Human Capital will publish a survey of over 1,000 15-24 year olds exposing their listening habits and attitudes to music discovery. Summary highlights are as follows.

Music is hugely important to the age group. 60% of 16-24 year olds would rather go without sex than music for a week. This increases to 70% for 16-19 year olds.

Music consumption remains ubiquitous within the age group. 75% have watched a music video online in the last 3 months, 70% bought a CD, 62% listened to music on their mobile phone, 52% bought a music download and 45% played a music game on a games console."

You can read the full article here .... but technically only the first 2 paragraphs share any to this topic.

Pretty interesting though, don't you think??.....

Saturday Humor | Zahara's Angry Face | Dora the Whore-a | Iris "booty" Chacon

This week i've been super busy trying to balance school work, volunteering, studying for SATs and reading Breaking Dawn. (I LOVE THE TWILIGHT SERIES .... but i'll get into that another time). This is the first time i've been online this whole week, which is a huge accomplishment and sacrifice in it self. =.(
But yea, here are some random but funny things i ran into while doing a whole lot of nothing....

---------------

First up, is Mr. Pitt with his daughters Shiloh and Zahara. These pics were so funny to me because Zahara looks like she is gonna have to slap a b**tch up in here. I mean ..... what could possibly be on her mind that she looks so evil lol.... even with her shades the hate just radiates from her....she just might be one of those angry black women if she is not careful.

^^stank face^^

^^pimp hand is strong with this one^^

---------------

Did i mention i watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button & i loved it. But the movie was approx an 1 hour longer than it needed to be.... the entire thing was 2 hours and 43 minutes long (-_- ).

--------------

Moving on ..... did you know that Dora the Explorer is getting a brand new look??? I didnt either until I saw it on the 10 o'clock news last night. Seems like Nick Jr. is going to give our exploradora a brand new teen based look .... smh .... they gonna make Dora into a whore or something around those lines. Parents are concerned about the image Dora is going to portray to their little ones but really I dont know what to think. Just take a look for yourself:

^^ From this^^

^^ To that^^

--------------

We can only hope that Dora doesnt act like Iris Chacon back in the day:

^^^(I can see the inspiration for Beyonce's new leotard, i-like-everything-jiggling-about look in this video.)

The "Good Black Man"

All my black ladies, (or gentlemen if thats how you like it) what things define a man as being a "good black man"????? At first, I never really put any thought into this but when I read this post from Brown Sugar 28, it really opened my eyes to what black culture now accepts from our men in order to be called a "Good Black Man". And honestly, what we accept is quite sad ..... take a look at an excerpt from the post:

"Usually the determination of a black man being “good” involves a combination of the following:

1. College educated

2. Not college educated but

3. Employed

4. Doesn’t have kids or

5. Has kids but takes care of them

If the man in question has any three of the five he’s deemed good and definitely marriageable and therefore worth holding on to for dear life.

But I’m with Chris Rock when it comes to this kind of thinking: When did we start giving brothers cookies for

doing what they’re supposed to do?

Last I checked any of the five above are minimum basic requirements. Those are just starting points where I might be willing to listen to your pitch as to why I should even think about giving you my number. And in my world, college educated is a must and it’s not good enough for you to just be employed. You need a career, not just a job.

Why, as black women, are we willing to accept so little. I know plenty of men who offer the bare minimum in the way of the five above, yet walk around like they’re the best thing since sliced bread; that I should be grateful that they took the time to bless me with their presence.

Yeah. Okay."

My Sunday w/ Braids

My Sunday was totally snatched from me when i decided i was going to go get my hair braided in box braids. Now, in the back of my mind i always knew my day was over from the moment i bought the hair... but still forrrrrrr some wierd, n crazy reason I thought "it won't be tooo long". I said to myself, "maybe it will only take 4 to 5 hours if i get there when she opens up her shop".

LOL at me because everyone else living in queens thought that same thought too. I got there at 10 am with my mom, mad hype and ready to get this process started. My mom parked about 3 stores away from our destination, and she is slowly making her way to the door when we see another woman and a girl (in her teens) walking quite briskly in that same direction. Now, it never occcured to me that they were probably going where I was going, but my mom being "ever-so-wise" got the drift immediatly. Out of no where she starts speed walking and dragging me along as well. O_o

However being that was so early in the morning, and my mind/body doesn't begin to function at full speed until at least 11:45 am on weekends, so my only intention was to get her to slow down. Likewise, my laziness led to the other people making it to the shop first where I also encountered 2 other ladies waiting to get their hair braided as well.............. Soooo in all I had 4 people ahead of me to get their hair done before i was even to be looked at. AND to top it off, i wanted box braids which take forever and year

I got home at 6:30 pm and my head was sore.... but in the end it was worth it. No more getting up early trying to do my hair. Its as easy as oil, mousse and go.

I'll put pics of my hair up later .... =D
