Sometimes you just need to take it back to the old skool.

Cold going mad.

Fools are on some other level shit

Um, as many of you know I'm obsessed with the cocaine trade. It's kinda scary. I mean, I have never even done the junk but the whole Co-kane cartel/financing entire nations/Pablo Escobar documentaries thing get me all sorts of giddy. Shit is fascinating. Regardless of that, this is just weird.

Thanks for tip Miss Erica!

No...

...I can't stop posting cute as shit stuff. If you hate this then you have a heart made of dust and and spit and I hope you burn in hell! (Picture Samuel L. Jackson right now for that last part. If you don't know what I'm talking about...oh shoot, just watch the clip.)

This is what puts me in a good mood

And this is also what I will be looking at all day when I become a crazy old lady that talks to her pet hamster "Bruno" on the subway.

I'm telling you people it's bound to happen.

Give me a dollar and some crackers for "Bruno" when you run into me in 40 years. If you don't I will start screaming and pee on you. That is what crazy old animal ladies do.

Enjoy!

The BellRays

Check out their live cover of "Highway to Hell" at Joe's Pub. I was there. You are going to be jealous you weren't there. It was that good.

Enjoy!

The MTA

The folks that work behind those bulletproof/chicken wing/kiosks in the subway are always getting grief from people. You know the drill. They lazy. They just don't got the time and energy to give you directions. Sleeping on the job. Yeah, you have seen those exposes via my girl Sue Simmons (you also notice how she doesn't give a fuck sometimes? I lurv her.) Anyhoo, I was strolling down the stairs to my station (Clinton-Washington C...wut? wut?!!) when I flitted my little eyes to see kiosk dude (um, I don't know his name, therefore he is dude) working out his Jimi Hendrix/Sly Stone (see, he colored and I live in Clinton Hill so there you go) fantasy on a Strat. He was just there, rocking out. So I'm like m'kay it's kinda slow right now he should entertain himself, being in a glass box of emotions all day can be tiresome. As I'm sashaying through the turnstill I turned back to watch the "concert" and smile at dude. He proceeded to stop for a moment, look up, smile and give me the black power sign.

I love Brooklyn.

Oh, and please don't strike again in the dead of winter. That wasn't very fresh. Thank you.

Brian Williams

Um, why at this moment do I think I have a crush on Brian Williams? I mean I thought I did like two years ago and then we broke up but I think we might get back together. And you know what...there is no reason why. He's just sassy. Sometimes kids, you just fall back in love.

Thanks for listening.

Oh Snap! A Positive Black Story!

Just when my heart was at it's heaviest with all the bad things going on in the world the Lord brought this story into my life. Honeychile, cue Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" and get a hankey. This is a good one.

Sniff and tear.

You once again will learn how to laugh, cry, love...shoot, it's better than the Color Purple. Okay, not really, but I'm amused.

Enjoy!

R.I.P Homegirl

Tip some out for former Texas Governor Ann Richards...she had that state on lock and then someone *cough* had to beat her when she ran for a second term. Dick.

The End of an Era

When cracky love can't prevail we are ALL doomed. You know Whit finally saw Being Bobby Brown and was like oh hell to the NO!

Whitney Houston files for divorce

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Whitney Houston has filed for divorce from her husband Bobby Brown, her publicist told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Publicist Nancy Seltzer declined to reveal where or when Houston filed the divorce papers, and said the singer had no statement to make.
"I can just confirm that she has filed for divorce," Seltzer said.
Houston and Brown, who married in 1992, have had a sometimes tumultuous marriage, and rumors of their breakup have surfaced often over the years.
The couple have one child, 13-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

Reason #498 for why Erika is a whipping dork

Yes, I watched all of season 2 of Lost but I feel like they took too many breaks and fucked up my whole flow. That being said I BOUGHT season 2 to watch over again--back to back like a damn junkie--so I'm prepared for season 3 which starts October 4th. Am I a foo? Prolly. Will I be prepared for more JJ Abrams magic? You got no idea.

Weekend Jams

Apparently I think it's the early to mid-90's cause the WHOLE weekend I was listening to Jane's Addicition's Ritual de lo Habitual and Soundgarden's Superunknown. And you know what? That shit still rulz.

My neighbors must think I'm a damn fool cause I had that shit on 11 and was cleaning and singing around my wee apartment like it was Lollapolooza 91--the Mountain View, California stop y'all.

Oh, and if you are in the mood to power scream/sing you need to listen to Mr. Chris Cornell belt out "The Day I Tried to Live." He is working some shit out. And yeah, we should talk about how pretty is he? It's like offensive. Swoon.

Man, I love music.

Sidenote: Me and the mister watched Metal: A Headbanger's Journey on Vh1 last night. Stuff was quite insightful and intelligent. It's part of their RockDocs series. Check it out. This is also the time I give the mister a special shout out for taking care of me in the midst of this as I was having lady problems and an eye infection (ended up being allergies). I was a right mess and he acted like I was like the Queen Bee...that always touches my wee heart. I'm totally into dude. Sigh.

Late Morning Inspiration

You know what is a great way to start off a work day (a work day that started at noon)? Sashaying off the subway--in delightfully fierce green stacked heels--while your iPod shift's from JT's "SexyBack" to Metallica's "One".

It was a hot look.

So is Ryan Gosling but that is neither here nor there.

Other songs that are making me happy today...cause I know you care:
"Kick Push" Lupe Fiasco
"Leg of Lamb" Queens of the Stone Age
"No One's Leaving" Jane's Addiction
"Alone" & "Never" Heart (don't hate, celebrate...Ann Wilson will always run this sumofabitch)
"Buttons" Pussycat Dolls (them bitches are on fire, don't even try and trip)

Like a little bitch...

You have to watch this. For real, I was in tears...
