Bitch ass, pussy ass nigga!

Bitch ass, pussy ass nigga!

So while walking my dog the other day I happened upon a very interesting conversation as I crossed the street. A group of young men were having a seemingly very important debate. One group of 3 chaps was walking in one direction. Another couple of blokes was walking in the other. As the two groups converged upon each other one of the chaps in the group of 3 went down into the train. One of the blokes in the group of two proceeded to yell down to him, "bitch ass nigga." Then, the two remaining chaps from the triptet that the chap was originally walking with began to yell after him as well. This time they called, "pussy ass nigga" after him. Then, the original group repeated, "bitch ass nigga." Then, the others repeated, "pussy ass nigga." And thus the debate continued for what seemed like an unnecessarily long length of time for people to be arguing about this. Now, I did find this amusing that they would even attempt to differentiate which type of soft ass nigga this guy was because really aren't they the same thing? And if not what is the difference?

Let me down...

Just don't let me down and hold on to your kite..

Love Songs????

What if I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall?

If all you have is leaving I'm gon need a better reason to write you a love song today.

If your heart is nowhere in it I don't want it for a minute. Babe I'd walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today.

I've learned the hard way that they all say things you wanna hear.

Your twisted words. Your help just hurts!

Hello Lover

OH WELL...

What you did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen

Won't you go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that you burned me in
Tries to teach you a lesson

What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded

My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfections

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

You came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts you recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a love belittled

Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Devastated at the rate you fell below me

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff

Oh, well

AARP

Ok. So you know you are getting old when a nice handsome young man of 18-20 gets up and offers you his seat on the train and you say thank you baby and you really mean baby like with a bottle.

Kegstand...

Who wants to do a kegstand????!!!!!???

Normal Person

I always wished I had learned to be a normal person.

Dear Mr. Dominican Man 25-35 years of age who stands on my corner, While I appreciate your persistence...

July 25, 2012

Mr. Dominican Man
SE Corner of W 157th St. and Broadway
New York, NY 10032

Dear Mr. Dominican Man 25-35 years of age who stands on my corner, 

              I'm sorry I do not know your name as we have never formally met.  While I appreciate your persistence and am really flattered, your tenacity is overwhelming.  I really thought we had resolved this months ago.  When I moved here over a year ago and you approached me on the street I respectfully declined your offer to take care of me and buy me what ever I wanted.  I, at the time, felt that it would be unfair to you because you appeared as if you could barely provide yourself with what you needed.  While I was impressed by your aggressive approach of walking up on me, boxing me in as I tried to move away from you, almost ending up in oncoming traffic; I must say that you are not my type.  I know because you are probably 'moving something' out there on B'way and thus 'get money,' you most likely feel I should be immediately enthused by your offer.  Nonetheless, I am not.  I prefer for men I date to enjoy the outdoors, yes, but not spend the entirety of their day working there on the block.  Although appealing to some, I don't find knowing that you are just downstairs anytime I need to see you appealing.  And although I am not extremely particular about a man's line of work, I do prefer that his main source of income is reportable to the IRS or at least not grounds for a lengthy incarceration.  


But, Mr. Dominican Man, we have had some good memories over the past year.  I always think back fondly of the times you continually tried to holler at me as I was on my way to work, to class, to the gym, coming home from work, going to the store, going to the train, going to the bus, taking a walk, going to get food, etc. etc.  I also remember the time my parents were visiting and dropping off some things they had bought for me.  You may recall my mom was waiting in the car at the hydrant on the corner and you took it upon yourself to stand there at the mailbox and make sure no one bothered her.  That was really nice of you.  Of course, she had no idea of what you were doing and you really scared the shit out of her but I assured her that she would have been safe in your hands if anything popped off as you knew she was with me.  Also, the time you offered to help my dad carry a large picture to my building in order to know where my apartment was was so helpful of an offer.  But alas, once again I had to decline yet another of your fabulous offers as I really did not want you to know where I lived. 

And I must note how much I especially am now enjoying how you have been intrigued by the temporary addition of my sister's dog in my household.  It is quite a real treat that each time I walk outside with my dogs you find it necessary to ask me in English and in Spanish if I am scared of you because I am now walking two dogs, and if this fear is in fact the reason I will not stop and talk to you.  And I especially like that now in your infrequent absences, your good friend has begun asking me if I am scared as well.  Well to answer your and your friend's question, no I am not scared of you, and that is not why I have dogs.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Good times.

Anyway, in closing, I write you to formally request, that although I have thoroughly enjoyed our daily banter, I can't say I'd be upset if it stopped.  It has been over a year now that you have been propositioning me and I have been saying no.  I doubt I am going to change my mind and, "be yours" as you have requested.  There was a very peaceful period of my life when I was able to walk to B'way without hearing from you.  You'd see me, say hello, and keep it moving.  Let's go back to that time when you didn't find it necessary to say something flirtatious and or ridiculous, however amusing it may have been, to me every time I passed by.  Perhaps your gregarious nature was subdued due to the colder weather? Either way, Mr. Dominican Man on W157th and Broadway, either way, there was a time when your silence was golden. Let us please return to that day.

Passive Aggression.... Can I get low grumble for all the sisters who aint here?

Are you passive aggressive?  I have been told that I am and have been described that way.  I guess I can agree in a sense.  I more am the type that doesn't feel like arguing or offering explanations when I don't feel one is warranted.  I say "no" when I need to, although sometimes it is not the emphatic "Hell No" I am thinking in my head.  And say "yes" or "OK" and mean it and follow through.  Yet, some, take my ability to be non-reactive, unexcitable, and maintain an even affect when annoyed as passive aggression.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

According to the wise wise ones at the Mayo-Clinic website, "passive-aggressive behavior is a pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them. There's a disconnect between what a passive-aggressive person says and what he or she does. For a passive-aggressive person, true feelings are shared through actions, not words. For example, a passive-aggressive person might appear to agree — perhaps even enthusiastically — with another person's request. Rather than completing the task, however, he or she might express anger or resentment by missing deadlines, showing up late to meetings, making excuses or even working against the task.  Specific signs and symptoms of passive-aggressive behavior include:

• Resentment and opposition to the demands of others
• Complaining about feeling under appreciated or cheated
• Procrastination
• Stubbornness
• Inefficiency
• Memory lapses
• Sullenness
• Irritability
• Cynical or hostile attitude

Although passive-aggressive behavior can be a feature of various mental health conditions, it isn't considered a mental illness."

Adele Sweeps the 2012 Grammy's

Did Adele Deserve Her Grammy Sweep?

Adele

Tsuni/Gamma USA

It was an emotional night at the Grammy Awards, as the music world mourned the loss of a once-bright star yet celebrated the emergence – or rather, re-emergence – of one of its most dazzling young talents.

Adele's domination of the 54th Annual Grammy Awards – she went six for six, winning everything for which she was nominated, including song, record and album of the year – allowed the industry to think of the future, not just the past. And it was particularly resonant given the British singer's frightening trouble with her vocal chords over the past year.

"Mum, I love you. I'm so sorry you're not here," the singer, 23, said through sobs in accepting the album of the year award at the end of the night, her tears signaling relief as much as joy.

Her album, 21, was "inspired by something that is really normal and everyone's been through it, which is a rubbish relationship," she added. "And it's gone on to do things that ... I can't tell you how I feel about it. It's been the most life-changing year."

Adele also dazzled at the show with her performance of "Rolling in the Deep," her first major public singing engagement since having throat surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal chord.

She won best new artist and best female pop vocal performance at the 2009 Grammys, but Sunday was her true coronation – a great story on a night when her industry most needed one.

So, what did you think of Adele's sweep? Did she deserve all those awards, or did the voters get caught up in her whole feel-good story, not just her music?

Adele swept the 54th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday night taking home six trophies including album of the year for 21 and record of the year and song of the year for "Rolling in the Deep." She broke down in tears accepting the album trophy explaining that 21 was inspired by something very normal -- "a rubbish relationship." "It's gone on to do things -- I can't tell you how I feel about it. It's been a life changing year." She then joked about rubbing away a bit of snot as she continued her speech.
Gwyneth Paltrow introduced Adele's triumphant return to the stage. She looked a little nervous while delivering a powerful performance of "Rolling in the Deep," but there's no doubt Adele's voice survived her vocal cord surgery beautifully. The crowd gave her an extended and rousing standing ovation.

Singer Whitney Houston dies at 48

February 11, 2012|By the CNN Wire Staff

• 

Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston was found dead Saturday at a Beverly Hills, California, hotel, officials said. She was 48.

The entertainer, whose incredible talent was discovered at an early age, was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. ET) at the Beverly Hilton hotel despite resuscitation efforts, a police spokesman said.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent" and that the cause of her death is being investigated.

Houston's bodyguard found her body, said Courtney Barnes, publicist for hip-hop artist Ray J, who was dating the pop diva.

According to her official website, Houston sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos. But she also struggled with addiction problems over the years.

Houston, whose hits included "The Greatest Love of All," died on the eve of the 54th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. She had performed as late as Thursday night at a pre-Grammy event in the area. A pre-Grammy party was scheduled Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton.

Music producer Jimmy Jam, after conversations with those heading up to Sunday's night show, told CNN that he believes the event will change significantly -- including a tribute to the singer.

The entertainer recently returned to a movie set for "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit, which was loosely based on the story of The Supremes. It is scheduled be released nationwide in August, according to Sony Pictures. It was her first movie role since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife."

News of her death elicited a flood of reaction from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

Singer Aretha Franklin said, "I just can't talk about it now. It's so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn't believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen. My heart goes out to Cissy (Houston's mother), her daughter Bobbi Kris, her family and Bobby (Brown)."

Dolly Parton, who wrote "I Will Always Love You," said, "mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'"

Another entertainment legend, Quincy Jones, said he was "absolutely heartbroken" by the news. "She was a true original and a talent beyond compare," he said.

The Upside Of Being An Introvert (And Why Extroverts Are Overrated)

I found this article in Time Magazine very interesting.  I read it on the way in to work.  I somehow have a print subscription.  You may need to have an online subscription to read the full article.  but if you are a self described introvert or if that label has been ascribed to you, you will probably find this interesting.  I know I can really relate.

The Upside Of Being An Introvert (And Why Extroverts Are Overrated)

I'm in the bathroom of the American embassy in Tokyo, and I can't leave. Somewhere in the elegant rooms beyond, the ambassador is holding his annual holiday party. Diplomats from around the world, U.S. military personnel and reporters are mingling, sipping Champagne and picking at hors d'oeuvres. As TIME's Tokyo bureau chief, I should be there, trolling for gossip or mining potential sources.

And for 20 minutes or so after arriving, despite the usual nerves, I did just that. But small talk with stiff-backed strangers at a swanky cocktail party is by far my least favorite part of my job.

vegetarian

recently became a vegetarian. i should say vegetarian-ish.  no meat eating per say but i will eat fish, dairy, eggs, and other products that may contain animal fat or juices.  today makes day 8. so far so good. a lot more gassy but a lot less nauseous.  i may indulge in the occasional meat food in the future. like take me to peter luger's and i'm eating a steak. even a garbage can eats a steak. but i'm just not cooking meat at home or ordering it from the everyday eatery.

Chivalry, stick a fork in it! Its done! You can beat it with a stick, its deader than a dead horse.

I am so tired of seeing men race women for seats on the train.  I am tired of them going to sit and not even looking around to see if a woman needs a seat.  I don't necessarily mean me.  Although that would be nice.  I am talking about little old lady types, or big old lady types, or not so old lady types, or pregnant lady types, or obviously in pain or injured lady types, or old men lady types.  I could go on and on about who should be sitting before an able bodied 18-55 year old man.  I can count on one hand the number of times a man has gotten up for me.  And again, I'd only need the one hand to count the number of times I've seen a man get up for any of the types listed above.  I've actually gotten up more to offer my seat.  Its amazing how the men sit so proudly, so accomplished after they've dashed through a crowd to get to a seat.  I remember one time I got on the 1 train at 96th street going uptown.  I took a look down the row of 8 seats in the middle of the train.  Who was there? 7 of the 8 were healthy men.  I looked around to see who was standing nearby in seat-offerable position.  There were at least 8 women.  I don't know, or necessarily care where this all falls in the women's equality movement.  But it just seems wrong, especially when men are practically knocking women over, pushing them out the way, and basically telling those who really need a seat, "move bitch get out the way!"

Just My Opinion...

I do not agree with the caption btw.  As a recent former meat eater I think its a great substitute.



Trader Joe's Veggie Burgers

Have a hint of a cumin or curry taste.  I eat it like on the pic but on wheat bread with mayo and dijon horseradish mustard.

food, poison, toture? what's a little rat meat among friends?

After reading up on dog food ingredients and it's production and subsequently meat processing for humans I think I'm going to be a vegetarian, the kind that eats fish and seafood, not the annoying kind that looks at all of the ingredients in every little food thing. I'll be the kind that just doesn't indulge in big slabs of meat and leans towards food that once had roots. I decidedly will not be the obsessed type inquiring, "what's this made of?" to determine if there is .05 ml of beef juice in something.  Just a little more aware and decisive.  I've already taken to tempeh and tofu so this should not be too difficult.  Wow! I feel less nauseous already.

Did you know it is perfectly legal to have a little rat meat mixed in with your ground beef and sausage?  It is even worse when it comes to pet food plants.

On a side note, this is something interesting I learned about dog meat in China.  No not meat for dogs, but the meat of dogs for human consumption.  I always thought the dog/cat warnings about Chinese restaurants was an urban legend.  I guess not .  :(

is she crazy? am i?

So I was out to lunch today with my family.  I missed watching the Giants win today but I guess it was for a good cause.  That aside, After eating I went with my sister to get the car that was parked about 5 blocks away so we could come back and get my mom.  As we were pulling up I felt the need to pee so I ran back in told my mom we were here with the car and ran to the single person female bathroom.  As I was pushing the door open this older 40-50 something woman with bush grayish-blond hair says, "oh wait!"  holding her hands flatly together in a prayer like formation as if to say please can I go first.  I turn around, look at her with my not yet patented, Candace heifer is you crazy? face on, and waited for about 3 seconds for her to regain her composure, and I can only assume also her sanity.  Then she laughed and said, "oh ha ha, never mind."  I said, "indeed," and added a "humphf" and laughed to myself as I turned around and went in the bathroom first.  Like, is she crazy? Really?  What in her mind made her think that because she was too slow to get to the bathroom ahead of me that I should stop and let her in first?  I didn't see her coming and really I grew up with the rule if you get there first, you're first, unless of course there is some overwhelming reason to do otherwise.  And just in case you are curious, THERE WASN"T!!!!! I happened to see her after she came out from using the men's room as she was instructed to do by the waitress nearby.  She returned to her seat.  So I must assume that privilege had gotten the best of this woman and she temporarily lost her mind.  But have to admit I don't know for sure because I didn't care enough to ask.

MTA... Going Nowhere!

The ‎1 train. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!  

My experience today was awful.  All I wanted to do was go home and thats all it seemed the MTA would not let me do.  I managed to survive the F train, also often appropriately named.  I made it from Carroll Street to 14th Street on the F without incident.  I navigated that godawful avenue long tunnel that connects 6th Ave to the IRT 1/2/3on 7th Ave.  I decide to get on the 1 local train because the 2/3 express had limited service to the Bronx in the middle of rush hour due to a signal problem at 96th street.  I figured that it was better to be on a local train heading home than no train at all, as did many others waiting on the platform that were inevitably going to change over to the 1 at 96th street anyway.  So, we all shuffle in the doors of the 1 train.  After leaving 14th street and any other options for transportation behind we chug into 18th street.  Over the PA system we hear, "This 1 train is out of service. Everybody off the train please. This train is out of service! There is a 1 train directly behind this train."  A few seconds later we hear, "There is an uptown 1 local train approaching the station." Yay I think to myself.  Then I hear, "The 1 train approaching the station will not top at this station." Are you kidding me? Really?  Then again I hear, "There is an uptown 1 local train approaching the station." This train they decide to let us on.  It is packed already so I pass on boarding.  Again I hear, "There is an uptown 1 local train approaching the station"  Finally!!! I get on the train local at 18st to way up here to where I live.  It manages to go as slowly as possible from station to station for 139 blocks taking like an hour to reach my stop.  As I exited the train I swear I heard, "This has been a test of your patience sponsored by the MTA. Thank you for riding although we know you have no other choice. Remember, if you see something, say something!"
