BUG-A-BOO

STOP IT ...... JUST STOP IT!!!  If someone does NOT show you genuine interest, let them go chile and move on.  Stop, I repeat, STOP being a bug-a-boo in some one's life.  I remember the Destiny's Child song with this same title and they hit it on the nail people blowing up your phone (we had pagers back then LOL), calling your friends and families houses whenever you don't answer their calls, calling your job or currently, the absolute NO NO, sending you a trillion pokes and inbox messages on your Facebook page.  If you or anyone you know is guilty of the above examples, you or them are a bug-a-boo.


How does one get to this point of being a bug-a-boo?....I think it happens gradually and in modern terms today it's called S-T-A-L-K-I-N-G.  If you think a person is gonna seriously be interested in you, due to you calling them 99 times a day, sadly you are on the wrong track in the dating world.  I don't know how many times I see this play out in men and women.  Remember, I live in a pink world so all sides are created equal until proven guilty...LOL but seriously, the guy complains about the chic blowing up his cell and vice verse.  People, please also know your roles from being the main piece, dip, boo, wifey, mistress, baby momma/daddy, etc and stop trying to be more than what's being offered on the table.  I recognize men and women are from Mars and Venus (not my words but y'all know the author of that book) so we think and act differently, sometimes!!!!  If a person doesn't answer your call, text, Tweet or Facebook chat by your third attempt, hang it up and move on.


Oh and my favorite, NEWS FLASH: Unless it's business related, NO ONE LISTENS TO THEIR VOICEMAILS ANYMORE!! So filling up a person's voicemail system is NOT gonna get you far either and this again labels you a bug-a-boo.  Someone please call an ex of mine and tell him this information ASAP.


I'm gonna leave you with the Destiny's Child video so you can jam to it the next time your bug-a-boo calls you...enjoy :-)

Those Damn, Bucket Boys Are EVERYWHERE

*picture downloaded from an online site*

Somewhere, somebody must have given the young guys in our neighborhoods, a sale on drumsticks and mop buckets.  Why have our Chicagoland streets become infested with these young and obviously talented black teens?  They are on these corners all day long banging on those damn buckets.  Why aren't they in school?  What can society do to at least place them in a performing arts school or something?  My loose change I keep in my cup holder in my car is for the Venti Pike Place Roast coffee I order at Starbucks on a broke day, and not for those guys coming up to my car begging for my change.  I feel two different ways about what they are doing: (1) I CAN'T STAND IT and (2) welp, it's keeping them out of gangs and committing crimes that will put them in our judicial system forever.  


Yes, I'm okay with seeing them every now and then but not at almost every light I come too.  Why aren't they ever at the places that you need entertainment while stuck in traffic, like at train tracks?  They are housed at a 20 second stop light, perform for two seconds and expect you to give them a HUGE tip for throwing a stick in the air and catching it......SMDH!!!!  I'm no politician but SOMETHING needs to be done about this ASAP.  


87th and the Dan Ryan is the WORST place to be.  It's about 10-15 of the bucket boys out there at one time.  My question is, where is this money going?  Their little asses need to pay taxes on that money too and be required to have a license to stand out there all day.  I'm just saying!!!!


People this is what the streets of Chicago have come to (see video below)........ HELP!!!!!

VIDEO VIXEN to ENTREPRENEUR

Keyshia Dior is about to be the young adults newest role model.  Is this a good or bad thing? ..... The verdict is still out on this one.  So let's cut to the chase and get to it.  This always gum chewing doll was featured in Timberland's video "Say Something" featuring the infamous Drizzy Drake (see video below).  Now this is where it gets tricky, she was smart enough to INVEST her earnings from that video and others to start her own lipstick line Ka'oir Cosmetics http://kaoir.com/ .  This is where I get a little excited, my alter ego, the fabulous, beautiful and the MIAMI diamond princess ....TRINA..... has a lipstick named after her and designed for her and her fans, called NEON ROCKSTARR.  Wonderful simply wonderful!!!!


I can't help but draw my attention back to the title of this blog, Video Vixen to Entrepreneur.  I'm almost fearful that our young ladies will not get a full picture of success because they see that beauty will carry them into celebrity status.  Now by no means am I hating on this sister.  I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done, being in her position and I don't know her full background but I do know that unless we are encouraging our black sisters to finish school and then become entrepreneurs, we are headed to a future of the "microwave generation" and no longevity is in store for us.  These youngens want things quick and easy.


What happens when beauty fails and the Next Top Model enters the scene and you are no longer the "It girl"? Rewind to the beautiful Maia Campbell, she was featured in videos, TV sitcoms and something was still lacking in her life that she began using drugs (YouTube).   No way in hell do I hope these things for Keyshia Dior.  What I hope that Keyshia Dior is doing is using this lime light of her celebrity status and making a difference in the lives of young women and women as a whole.


Below is the video that Keyshia Dior was featured in with Timberland and Drake:

Welcome to My World of PINK

Readers,


This is my NEW blog site!!! BEWARE this is NOT the usual place that you will see the typical blogs written by me about domestic violence.  I live in a PINK world so that means that I see things differently than most people and will have a FANTASTIC time reporting my views about life, right here.  I will be blogging about everything from my favorite lipsticks to love letters.  


This blog site will allow me to literally express my rights of FREEDOM of SPEECH.  The quiet (yes I am quiet LOL) and serious person that I'm known to be, does NOT exist here. Feel free to join this site and chime in on my upcoming discussions and posts and thanks in advance for reading my crazy thoughts!!!!
