AARON IS OLD! (notice I said AARON) teehee

Okay so I am hanging out at Aaron's house at the "loves hangover" sale, to see what was up for grabs for my place as he purges himself from things that remind him of past loves.

He begins to tell me about his recent trip to Tallahasse to hang out with some of our friends that attend FSU. The story had me on the floor so I had to share.

So anyway,...they are ALL (aaron and our friends) in the car to paint the town, with cocktails, music and dancing.

Sam (the driver) is singing,..... "this girl, she really wants,.....to be in love with a man."

Sean is on the passenger side with a very annoyed look on his face, saying nothing.

'Unidentified Guy,' who has never heard this song before and is totally enjoying it, popping fingers and all.

Aaron(best friend) in the back, enjoying the song but is starting to get suspicious.

Unidentified Guy says, "oooo, I love this song! IT'S AWESOME!,...Who Is It?"

Sean, looking even more annoyed,...continues to say nothing.

Sam goes, "I don't know,....I haven't a clue,....... but I LOVE THIS SONG! and it IS AWESOME!"

Aaron, now slightly pissed says,....IT'S SHEILA FUCKING E. ! YOU NEVER HEARD OF 'GLAMOUROUS LIFE!?' I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Sean, still annoyed and saying nothing.

'Unidentified Guy' and Sam were like,..NO, BUT IT'S AWE-SUUM. WE LIKE THAT SONG. WE LOVE THAT SONG.

This prompts 'Unidentified Guy' to turn to Aaron and say, "Hey, how'd you know that song? How old are you anyway?"

Aaron says, 33.

Then there's silence. Everyone else, except Sean (who is unimpressed and still annoyed with everyone) drops their jaws in AWE and AMAZEMENT. Then all together, but not in unison, there was a slew of "OH WOWs," and "OMIGODS!" We know people in their 30's!

Imagine the look on Aarons face. So he could not wait to tell me (fellow thirty something) the story, which totally had me giggling my ass off. We began to reminisce about all that was 80's! We came up with this top 100. I used it to write my article for the Albany Journal. I just had to share.

THE STAKES IS HIGH

First off, I'd like to say thanks to everyone that gave a f%*k. It meant alot to me. Especially those of you that have never laid eyes on me. THANKS.

I have been alot CRAZY PARANOID, alot of BETRAYED, and most of all alot BLUE.
I even tried to drink my troubles away and ya'll, ...it's a bad time when you are too Dam BLUE for BOOZE. I didn't even have the appetite for it.

I remembered a conversation I had with a fellow dj diva, Ce-Ce. She's one of those people that always seems to have it together. She's always positive and always encouraging positivity. A while back when I felt this way, I told her how bummed out I was. She listened to my troubles and dismissed them (i thought) by saying,..."yeah,...yeah,(nodding her head) you are have troubles with your faith in God."

cut to me with the most confused face you would ever see, saying,..."No Ce-Ce! You aren't listening to me! "

She said, "I heard you. You are just having faith issues with God."

I admit, I started to get a little pissed. Just as I was about to say,...you know what? you have totally misunderstood me and everything i told you.... (eurika!) suddenly,...it dawned on me,...if you believe in God, there should be no fear of the unknown or stress because you are supposed to have FAITH that GOD takes care of his children! With that realization in mind, I had to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Ce-Ce. I know that FEAR, WORRY, PARANOIA, JEALOUSY, DECEPTION & SECRECY, ANGER, STRESS, HATERS, AND ALL ALIKE.... ARE ALL OF THE DEVIL!

It's hard to deal with that when you are one that tries to be good to everyone even when you don't want to. Especially in a world, and industry filled with lies, egos and deceit. It's easy to get caugt up and consumed. Just being reminded that GOD LOVES! It all helps to carry me though. Everytime I get upset I have to think back on that day with Ce-Ce. I don't even think she realizes what she did for me that day. But I gotta say THANKS CE-CE!

THANKS AGAIN, cyber brothers and sisters.

and you know I have to give thanks to MY FATHER, Our Father,...everyday. Thank you GOD!

YOU'RE FIRED!


BRAD WAS ROBBED!
Originally uploaded by fabfunkydiva.

I made a vow to myself to never watch 'The Apprentice' ever again. I watched the first season because I thought I would learn a little something about running a business. I WAS CONNED! (cut to this season) Strategically NBC conspired with the other networks, leaving us nothing to watch,...except,...yep, The Apprentice, season 2. So, here it is, another season and another batch of knuckle-heads. It kills me, most of these people are already successful. Why do they subject themselves to so much B.S.? I mean,...look at Oprah. She is filthy stinking rich and she chooses to give to be happy. She makes others happy. Hell, you are rewarded for sitting in an audience or sending in a letter,...whatever. Trump,... what does he do? He creates situations in which smart people (that we would, under any other circumstance admire) look like idiots, backstabbers, childish, off center and unproffessional. In the end, one person gets the prize of WORKING for him, as if they have won some prize.

HEY GUYS, SEE WHY WOMEN LOVE OPRAH!?

Brad believed he did such a great job, he was willing to give up a free ride. Trump admitted he (Brad), did a great job but because he was willing to risk it all (by giving up his free ride),..he was fired. That was some BullS*@t! BRAD WAS ROBBED!

So now I know that it's all rigged for DRAMA's SAKE. I'm done. I am switching back to CBS for re-runs of "CSI" and "Without A Trace."

THE PORCELAIN GOD IS A SERIAL KILLER!!

This morning,....I lost a friend. It was near and dear to my heart. It was my life line and my connection to civilization. Today my friends,...I (too choked up to carry on),....I... DROPPED MY FREAKING CELL PHONE IN THE TOILET,....AGAIN! (clean water, by the way) What the hell is wrong with me? I feel like a crackhead waiting for a hit,...I NEED MY CELL PHONE! I MUST CHECK MYSELF IN SOME KIND OF CELL PHONE REHAB! People have tried to calm me down because I am insured and I AM getting another one. Here's the thing,...MY LIFE WAS STORED IN 'THAT' PHONE! People aren't feeling my sense of urgency and loss. IF ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT,....IF YOU FEEL ME,...WAVE YOUR CELLYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE! AND SAY AMEN!

PARIS......THE DAYS OF OLD!


Been chatting and checking out the blogs of lots of hiphop lovers, e-ing kool rock ski and the humanity critic, and it's got me JONESING! I'm reminiscing about that old school empowerment stuff with substance,...you know that underground, revolutionary, radical stuff that makes you think and pump your fist. Remeber this dude? I dusted off the cd. BEHOLD! Before you, is the cover the back and the inside liner notes. Don't know if this is still in print, maybe you could download it or something.

The SUCKI-YUKiness!

What's the Sucki-Yukiness? WORK! Hurricane, now Tropical Depression Frances has poured rain all over my town. It's supposed to be this way until sometime Wednesday. Since there is so much potential for flooding,...I just knew I wasn't gonna have to go to work today. SIKE! that's the sucki-yuckiness of it all. It's raining non-stop. I so love the rain. It makes you wanna just chill and cuddle the covers. There's a certain peace to it all,....that is until you have to go to WORK!

I am not a patient person and the worst thing about my job on days like today is ...SMART ASS KIDS! Kids that are out of school because of the weather, that are not being parented and have nothing better to do than to call and harass me ALL DAY wanting to give shout outs to 'EARL AN NE'M' (EVERYBODY AND THEIR MAMA), playing on the phone saying dumb shit while their friends on 3 way snicker in the background.....oh and to hear/ request Eminem, Britney and Juvenile. (eeewwww) Ever wonder why the request lines are ALWAYS busy? This usually means that someone has pissed off the dj. I'm taking it off the hook today.

Well, Gotta get ready

***digging nails in the floor, while being dragged to work***

...I'll holla at you guys later today.

Ps. Yo 'G,' How did the date go?

THE BEAUTYLICIOUS BEAUTIFICATION OF BEAUTY NIGHT!

Tonight is BEAUTY NIGHT! I think all DIVA's (on a budget) have them(you know, ....home manicure, pedicure, facial, the washing and styling of the "DO", and such). Especially with the bad weather coming. I'm gonna order Chinese (again), sip some wine, get the Beauty-licious Beautification going and check out the tubes.

I am attracted to some of the weirdest stuff anyone could ever put on tv. Tonight, I will be drawn to the tubes to catch the first episode of the new season of "The Surreal Life"
As much as we love him, I don't think anyone can live with Flava Flav. So this is gonna get good!

I'm hating the fact that I am stuck with re-runs of Charmed, and it's bad enough that there are no more original episodes of Sex & the City, so I will be checking out the real life version of Sex & the City with Single in the City.

OOOOO! Did you hear about the new season of Bands Reunited? It starts tomorrow. Do you remember the DIVA DRAMA of them trying to put KLYMAXX back together? It was good!
I will be on the edge of my seat to find out what ever happened to some of my favorite groups of the 80's.

Anywaz, I'm washing clothes, cleaning my crib, and I wanted to try to get some art work done. Home much of all this do you think I will get done today? I know.

THE GHETTO AIN'T FABULOUS!

A friend of mine sent these pictures of Baby's (of the Cash Money Boys) B-Day Party. Ghetto Folks were in full effect..... really GROSS. The Ghetto ain't FABULOUS! People in the ghetto are struggling to get out. It shouldn't be glorifyied.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS!

In the immortal words of Fiona Apple,..."THIS WORLD IS BULLSHIT!"


Yahoo! News - World - Reuters
Yahoo! News - World - Reuters : "


Fri Sep 3,11:18 AM ET


A volunteer carries a small child after special forces stormed a school seized by heavily armed masked men and women in the town of Beslan in the province of North Ossetia near Chechnya (news - web sites) , September 3, 2004. A hundred or more people were killed when Russian troops stormed a school on Friday in a chaotic battle to free parents, teachers and children who had been held hostage for 53 hours by Chechen separatists. (Stringer/Russia/Reuters) "





WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO? GOD MUST CRY AND SHAKE HIS HEAD, SEEING HOW THE CHILDREN "HE MADE," ARE JUST DESTROYING THE WORLD "HE MADE," AS WELL AS DERSTROYING ONE ANOTHER. AH! THE NEGATIVE THINGS WE DO WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF FREE WILL! WE OWE GOD MUCH MORE THAN THIS. AS A PEOPLE, AS GOD'S KIDS,....WE SUCK! WE TOTALLY DON'T DESERVE THE LOVE HE GIVES US,... ON A DAILY BASIS! I just get pissed and have to vent. The situations in the world, the conflicts,....usually BULLSHIT! People think they are fighting for GODS SAKE and usually it's only for their OWN BULLSHIT AGENDA'S. I apologize for cussing and judging, it upsets me that "WE" (meaning myself and everyone who's guilty) take life and GOD's LOVE for granted.





THE DEVIL THAT IS DESTROYING AMERICA!


BUSH IS DA DEBIL! LOOK AT THAT FACE,...HE'S THINKIN' "I GOT THESE DUMB ASSES RIGHT WHERE I WANT EM! "
