What does it mean to be successful? I was reading an entry written by Tyler Perry, sent to me via twitter this morning, and it really moved me.. Now, if you know me personally, you'd know that I'm not exactly the biggest Tyler Perry fan in the world. [*yawn* -- Wait.. It's not 2010.. It's not even Tuesday! What's going on here?! An update?!?] Anyway, like I was saying (writing), I'm not the biggest TP fan, but I do admire him for what he does for his community. And when I say his community, I mean the black community, not the ga...nevermind. [Oooh.. low blow! -- no pun intended.. lol.] So yeah, after reading his entry, it got me to thinking about myself -- more importantly, my successes...or lack thereof.


Personally, I would love to be able to afford 65 children the opportunity to embark on an all-expense paid vacation to Disney World.. But, I can't. At least not right now.. But, will I ever..? Will I ever direct, produce and star (dressed as a 60+ year old woman, mind you) in countless stage plays & films, only to gross millions of dollars of which I'll never live long enough to spend? Never will I be that successful.. Or will I..? What exactly does it mean to be "successful"..?


Setting goals, taking the steps necessary and ultimately reaching these pre-established goals.. To me, that's a success! But, what if one's goals don't equate to substantial monetary gains..? ["substantial monetary gains..?" -- is this CNN?] Meaning, what if your goal is to become the Head Maintenance man at the High Museum? Are you not "successful" the day you're issued your golden flashlight? [*crickets*] Do monetary gains go hand-in-hand with success?


I was listening to Drake - Successful on the way to work this morning, and the lyrics make success sound so simple! Money, cars, clothes, and what would success be without...the hoes? That's it! You somehow manage to attain those four things (not necessarily in that order), and you're a success! [at least in the Hip-Hop community..]


But, back to Tyler Perry and his story.. TP wasn't born the huge, mega-millionaire he is today.. He had to climb his way to the top just like the next guy (or guy dressed in drag), and the road wasn't easy.. [Hell, it wasn't even paved!] I've heard stories of him having to live out of the backseat of his car, when there was no place else left to go, just to support his dream.. So again I ask, what does it mean to be successful? To come from nothing and become something..? To help your community and give unselfishly? To make millions?! [I choose d) all of the above]


What can I do with my life to even come close, to one day being able to afford 65+ Jamaican kids the opportunity to travel to Colorado to see snow for the first time? I'll wear a dress, and say "Good Mern'tin!", if necessary! But seriously.. I really want to know.. Don't get me wrong, I love my job.. I really do! But, I don't know.. I just don't see myself working until I'm old enough to retire.. Like, what good is enjoying life after retirement if you're closer to being dead than alive? I know old people gravitate towards Florida during the retirement years, but South Beach ain't nearly as fun at 65 as it was in March!! "Do that Karl Malone.. Do that Karl Malone!" (Sorry, I had a flashback..)


I don't know what's gonna save me from running in this "Rat Race" of life, but I need to find a detour, and fast! Funny thing is, I used to (and still kinda do) want to be a comedic actor, but I didn't know where to start. Some of my friends think I should pursue stand-up comedy, but that's also a very difficult industry to become "successful" in. Before I got my job with Labor, I actually worked [part-time] as a stand-in actor on Tyler Perry's sitcom, House of Pain, filmed here in Atlanta, Ga. Now, that had to be one of the most enjoyable jobs I've ever had, but I was only a stand-in actor -- meaning don't look for me on Wednesday night -- so I was only there for rehearsal purposes. Not to mention the fact that they treat stand-ins pretty shitty.. I guess it's a hierarchy-type thing, but it really sucked waiting on everyone else to eat, before getting your plate.. lol.


On the other hand, if I got paid the way the lead actors (or any of the main characters, for that matter) got paid, I could act until I was Morgan Freeman in the face! But then, would that make me a "successful" actor? How many movies does it take to make you a success? At what point in your life or career do you wake up with that feeling of triumph? That feeling of gratification, fulfillment,...euphoria?! [you sure that's not the feeling of that purple stuff?] The stars are aligned, all systems are go.. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now prepared for lift-off! We're going to the moon, Alice! [Focus!] Sorry, Adult ADD is no bitch.. Where was I..? Oh yeah, so what defines success??


I've graduated high school and college, but I haven't been to graduate school.. To my high school comrades who decides to pursue others avenues of life and skip college, am I one rung up on the "ladder of success", but one step down to a brother with a Master's degree? Again, what defines success..? What does it mean to be successful..? I want the money, cars, clothes and.. ya know, too.. But, how..? I can't rap, sing, or dance.. Well, sober.. NBA, NFL, MLB..? Sure.. If I get to bring my own joystick! The lotto is a waste of dumb luck.. I have a better chance slippin' on water in the supermarket.. Hmm..? [niggas and flies..] lol! I don't know what I'm going to do, or how I'm going to get there.. But, moves need to be made..


I just wanna be successful.

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

..and not a second sooner! :)


[*yawn* - oh, excuse me.. I was taking a nap in-between entries.. My word! Is it 2009?!] Wow.. March 27th, 2008..huh? Yeah, looks like I just may have dropped the ball once again, on this whole "website renovation" thing.. However (HOW-EVA!), looking at the glass half-full.. I stayed true to my word of not making any promises..? [*yawn* - I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up when the 2010 World Cup begins.] Fine.. I deserve that.. I've made and broken more promises than an abusive spouse. But I reely mean it this time! I'ma change, Anna Mae! I'ma change!! Sure, Ike.. Tell us anything..


No, but this time is different..


In October of 2007, I made an attempt at a comeback, but I had alot going on in my life, and no reel time to commit to working on my page.. I was car shopping, apartment hunting, and looking for love in all the wrong places (and all the wrong packages).. March of '08 was another failed attempt, as you can see.. But, for different reasons..


By that point, I finally moved.. not into any of the apartments I was considering, but into a 4-bedroom house with my cousins. I bought a car [you got the car?!?] No, no no.. I bought a car, not the car.. lol.. I got an (used) '08 Altima Coupe for a reely good deal, so I jumped at the opportunity. So yes, the Rodeo (that tried to kill me) and I have decided to go our seperate ways, and I haven't looked back since.. [sounds good.. what else is new??]


Well, I finally got my laptop fixed, but I lost a substantial amount of data.. I also bought a desktop PC, a color printer, and a reel fancy shmancy ["smanchy?"] digital-SLR camera from Canon. [Oh wow.. I must have been asleep when they announced you won the Mega Millions Jackpot?!]


Ha! Not even.. I've also managed to land a new position (a promotion, if you will) with the GDOL, so I'm making a little (alot) more than I was making in March of 2008. So yeah, things have gotten a little (alot) better for me recently.. There is always room for improvement, so by no means am I content with where I am in life.. But, at the same time, the way the economy has been over the last year plus, I am blessed & thankful to have a decent job.. and I accept it with no complaints.. [So, what's next? Is this when I go back to sleep?]


Funny, but no.. The next step is to purchase a home of my own.. For the amount I pay in rent & bill, I could be paying off the mortgage on my own "piece of America".. lol! Nah, but that's reely what I intend to do! I'm currently in the early stages of the "home-buying process" as we speak (type), so I don't have much to report at this point.. In the meantime, I would reely like to get my site back up and running on a level of consistency much like my old blogdrive page. [Where is my e-pillow] No, seriously.. I have no excuse (other than pure laziness) not to make a better effort to work on the page this time.. and I shall..


I still wish to look into all of which I made mention to in the March 2008 entry. I have a few potential candidates for freelance writers, as well as ideas for a new web layout and the much-anticipated [ReelyfeRaydio]. I have been working on taking alot more pictures with my new camera, and intend to use [PortfolioZ] or some other engine to display them on the site. I've also recently created a twitter account, and intend to incorporate twitter and twitpic into the "fabric" of my blog..


I haven't reely sat down and ironed out the details, but the creative juices are flowing once again, and I'm excited to get started writing and developing once more.. [Cool.. Well, before we break out the confetti and party hats, I'm going to take a quick "power nap".. I'll believe it when I see it..] Fair enough.. I'll wake you tomorrow. [What did we learn about making promises?] Good point.. I'll wake you "shortly"..


That's my word..

[rgc]

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

This thing still on..? lolz.. Yeah, so if you haven't noticed, I've kinda been slackin' off at keeping my promise.. [Slacking off?! Where'z my thesaurus? What iz a better word for "FAILED"?!] Ok, ok.. I [failed] to keep my promise.. But, to be completely honest, it'z not entirely my fault.. My laptop that has everything on it.. And when I say everything, I mean everything on it, crashed on me a few months back.. So, I've been unable to do much more than check my email and send a few myspaces messages back and forth, on my old 20lb. 1998 Model HP laptop, before it overheats and shuts off.. [So, you got a new laptop?] Uhm.. Not exactly.. I'm on my work computer, ridin' the clock and surfin' the net.. lolz! I do intend to purchase one [very] soon, and get this site together.. But, to be on the safe side [and to rebuild whatever credibility I may have left], I won't make any promises.. :)


I have quite a few plans in store for the site, including a layout re-design, the addition of several blog [staff] writerz, and the much anticipated release of [ReelyfeRaydio]. Yeah, yeah.. Heard it all before.. True.. I won't be able to get started until I get my laptop repaired.. But, I guess we shall see, huh? :)


Well, it'z 4:30 and everyone's gone, so I'm gonna cut this one short and try to beat the idiotz home.. Until next tyme.. Holla!
[rcZ]

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

Guess who'z bizzack?! :) [Back? I didn't know you left..] Actually, I didn't.. I just had not had [or taken] the opportunity to post anything in a few dayz.. I've been reely busy the past week, looking at cars, apartments and possible career alternativez.. My "dream car" is an Infinity G35, but that'z not reely financially possible at the time, so I had to adjust my search a ten thousand or two.. After weeks of internet searches and dealer hopping, I finally found the "perfect" car for me.. But, as is the story of my lyfe, that deal ultimately fell through.. Basically, the warranty the dealership offered, did not cover a long enough period of time to safeguard against any and all post-purchase circumstancez.. At first, I was quite disappointed in not being able to get a car...especially since my near-death encounter with u know who.. lolz! However, after flipping through a few pages of my boy T.D., I came to the conclusion that it just was not meant for me to have that car, on that day.. [So, what car do you want now..?] Oh, I still want that car! lolz.. I just have to wait until the time is right.. :) On the flipside.. I was able to find a pretty nyce, inexpensive apartment, in roughly the same area that I live in now.. It has a fireplace, sunroom, and a garden tub..not that I take baths lyke that..but the ladiez love garden tubs, for some reason.. Hmmm... lolz! I have a few more apartments to visit before I make my final decision, but I would reely love to move somewhere new.. I recently applied for several [out-of-state] job opportunities in my actual graduated field of study, so who knows what could happen.. If things work out quickly enough, I might just be able to kill two birds with one stone, and reely get my lyfe together! :)


I don't have time to go into detail right now.. But, in my next entry, I will be sure to talk a little about the T.I. arrest [Dumb, dumb, dumb!!!], the release of the Airbus A380, and the role height disparitiez play in relationshipz.. Yeah, I know it'z random, but I was approached today by one of the most beautiful, 6-foot-5-eleven woman I've ever seen..and I want to share my encounter..lolz!


Anyway, that'z all for now..and that'z reel..
[rcZ]

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

Ok, maybe "died" iz a little over-dramatic.. More lyke, almost crashed.. Which would have eventually lead to death anyway, after the cops ran my information and became aware of a few minor detailz that could land me a nyce night in jail.. [Don't tell me you don't have insurance..?] No, it'z not that I don't have insurance.. It'z more lyke, the damn Rodeo can't pass emissionz.. So, if she can't pass emissionz, then you can't properly renew your tags.. And, if you can't renew your tagz, then you can't.. Well, yeah I guess I don't have insurance either, huh? lolz! [It'z reely not lolz at all, but I guess u gotta laugh at life sometimez..] So anyway, back to my traumatizing morning..


The Rodeo tried to kill me. Just as plain and simple as that.. Now I agree, I prolly haven't taken the best care of her recently.. But, to try and kill me over something as petty as a car wash, or an interior shampoo & vacuum iz insane! I swear, it seemz lyke my lyfe iz constantly flunctuating from one entreme to the other.. It's either too good to be true, or too real to be reel! [Slow down, Tito.. Damn! How exactly did the Rodeo try to kill you?!]


Well, I was leaving my house early yesterday morning, on my way to "work". So, I press down on the accelerator, but for some reason it stickz.. I didn't thynk much of it at the time. I actually thought that I may have just pressed down on the accelerator with a heavy foot, so I took my foot completely off of the gas, but the car continuez to accelerate! At this moment, I realize what is really going on, so I slam on the brakez..[or at least attempt to..] The car still would not stop! So, I'm bouncing all over speed bumps, getting closer and closer to ramming into the back of the car in front of me! [Are u serious?!] Yes!! lolz. I'm eventually able to stop the vehicle, with less than 15-20 feet seperating me from the car ahead.. It was crazy! Afterwards, my hands were shaking and everything.. It was reely too real to be reel! At one time, I had an out-of-body type experience, where I didn't reely thynk this was happening.. I mean, I felt the car moving forward, but I was just waiting for it to stop on it's own.. I even remember reaching my hand down to try and release the accelerator from the floor of the car, but it wouldn't budge! It was lyke a scene from an Italian movie, but I was on the wrong end of the whack! lolz.


[Wow.. So, if you couldn't stop, why didn't you just pull the emergency brake?] You know what..? When people get in accidents or are involved in emergencies, I always say things lyke, "Why didn't they just do this.. or that.." Trust me, when the time comez, things are happening at such an unbelievably fast rate, that you don't have time to think.. I barely had time to react! I was so close to hitting the car in front of me, before it stopped, it was as if the whole things was scripted! [They just decided to wait until the sequel to kill me..] lolz!


[So, what'd you do next?] A couple of cars behind me, that noticed the way I blitzed through the speed bumps, looked at me like I was crazy.. lolz! But, I was able to turn [slowly] the car around, and roll back home, just barely tapping the gas before it decided to get stuck again and run over one of the neighborhood children.. lolz! I don't know if I'll be able to get a new car anytime soon, but I've put too much money into the Rodeo to get it "fixed" again.. To be honest, I'm actually rather hesitant to even get behind the wheel of an Isuzu again.. The damn thing tried to kill me! And if you thynk she'z gonna stop now, you're just as crazy as she iz! One minor failure isn't gonna stop her, it's just gonna piss her off that much more! Nah, no thanks.. I appreciate everything she's done for me, but just as in any good relationship gone bad, we've done everything we can to work thingz out.. But, I thynk it'z tyme to see [drive] newer people [cars].. :)


I don't know if I'm reading too much into it.. But, I'm reely taking this as a sign from God, that he wants and expects more from me.. I've put myself into situations of mediocrity that I don't deserve.. My grandmother gave me a book written by T.D. Jakes, entitled "Reposition Yourself - Living Life Without Limits". I just started reading it, but I intend on doing just that.. [Repositioning myself] Mediocrity is not for me, and it'z made itself more clear now than ever before.. I need a new car. I need a new job. Hell, I need a new lyfe! lolz..


and that's Reel..

Or iz it Bill O'Reilly..? Oh well.. Either way, lyke the majority of his comments, it alwayz comes out all O'Wrong.. lolz. [Uh oh, what happened this tyme..?] Well, in a nutshell, there has been some controversy over the recent comments made by O'Reilly on his radio show this past week. Apparently, O'Reilly and the Reverand Al Sharpton met for dinner at Harlem's well-reknown Sylvia's restaurant in New York City. Afterwards, O'Reilly informed his radio audience that he was surprised about what he encountered inside..


O'Reilly Radio Broadcast [full version]


"I [O'Reilly] couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. It was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks [and has a] primarily black patronship. There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea!'"


I'm not gonna lie.. When I first heard of the comments, I didn't know how to feel.. Your "knee-jerk" reaction is to be angry, but then you have to take time to consider the source.. If you don't know the name Bill O'Reilly, then you probably also don't know namez lyke Nancy Pelosi, Dick Cheney, or anyone else of importance.. George Bush doesn't count.. I said people of importance.. lolz! Sadly enough, we [black people] know more about the last 3 hostz of the BET Hip Hop Awardz, than we do about who'z running our everyday lives.. But, I'll leave that alone.. For that'z an entirely different entry, in itself.. Bill O'Reilly is nationally known for his sharply opinionated comments, especially when it comez to the African-American culture. From Ludacris to Don Imus, and everything else in-between, there isn't often a time when you will find Mr. O'Reilly speechless..


"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people [who] were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all," O'Reilly said.


I don't know if O'Reilly'z comments were intended to be taken sarcastically by the majority of his critics, who feel O'Reilly is out of touch with the African American culture, but it clearly backfired.. "It is very insulting," said Sylvia's manager Trenness Woods-Black, granddaughter of the famous Sylvia Woods. "O'Reilly's knowledge about the African-American community is limited and his statements are outrageous and unfortunate."


Tuesday night, on his Fox News television show "The O'Reilly Factor", O'Reilly insisted that his remarks were intended to show "there was no difference" [between whites and blacks] and "stereotypes are not true." Ok.. So, before sitting down for coconut shrimp with the Rev, you mean to tell me you reely thought black people yelled, "M'fer, I want some more iced tea!"?! Word..?


O'Reilly claims CNN and Media Matters, the network who reported the story, is "out to destroy me and Fox News." Sharpton said he and O'Reilly have eaten together in Harlem before, and was surprised upon hearing the news of the recent comments. "I understand he says he's been taken out of context. I'll be going on his show and I want to talk directly with him," said Sharpton.


During last Wednesday's show, O'Reilly said he'd been to a concert at Radio City Music Hall and noted that "the blacks were well-dressed." O'Reilly felt, "This is what white America doesn't know, particularly people who don't have a lot of interaction with black Americans. They think that the culture is dominated by Twista, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg,". [O'Reely, Bill?!?]


Media Matters spokesman Eric Burns said he expected O'Reilly to claim to have been victimized, describing it as "his automatic response to scrutiny of his ignorant comments." Sylvia's managers weren't too surprised, either. "It's commonplace for O'Reilly. It's his position and overview of the world," said Kenneth Woods, grandson of Sylvia Woods. Restaurant host William Lessenberry said he was mostly amused. "He had his idea of what a soul food restaurant was like and now he's got a different view," he said. "I could only laugh." Herbert and Sylvia Woods opened their soul food restaurant in 1962 in a Lenox Avenue storefront with room for only 35 people. Today, the restaurant occupies most of a city block and attracts tourists from all over.


We'll never reely know what O'Reilly intended to accomplish by making such astenine commentz, but one thing we do know is this.. Opinion is short of fact, and fact can only be justified by doing.. If he is truly that lost when it comes to the knowledge of Black America, then maybe Fox News should reevaluate who they allow to lead their nationally televised programs. If Tavis Smiley felt uninformed about a specific topic, he would investigate and gain as much knowledge as he could on the subject, without you or I ever knowing of it. He wouldn't blurt his inadequacies to his viewers.. But, then again.. I guess that'z the difference between what is acceptable behavior from one class of people than the other.. lolz.


You be the judge.. Were O'Reilly's comments taken out of context..? Or, is this just another case of the wonderful world of being a white man in America..? Hmm... I wonder.. :)

Speaking of white men in America, check out a couple clipz from Comedy Central's, "The Daily Show - hosted by Jon Stewart", in response to O'Reilly'z comments..

So, Michael Vick smokes weed.. Really?! Surprise, Surprise MothafukkaZ!! lolz. [As if we didn't already know..] Now, anybody who'z anybody, knowz that you don't buy devicez with "secret compartmentz" to hide no damn jewelry! Niggaz buy jewelry to wear, and smuggle weed to smoke.. Duh! lolz.. In January, Saturday Night Live performed a sketch in response to the Vick water bottle scandal at the Miami Airport. I actually wrote an entry about it, and posted a video clip of the sketch.. At the time, I honestly believed that the media was just looking for a reason to condemn Michael Vick.. [Oh, don't get it twisted.. My opinion still hasn't changed..] Especially, after authoritiez in Miami decided that the contentz of the bottle were not worth pursuing in court. Well, knowing what I know now about Michael Vick and his questionable decision making, it reely wouldn't surprise me if photoz of Vick and Oscar De La Hoya suddenly rose to the surface.. lolz! If you missed my initial SNL entry, I've attached another copy of the video clip for your enjoyment.. [Really?!] :)


Michael Vick sketch:



Apparently, marijuana stayz in your system for over 3 monthz [depending on the amount of an individual'z daily intake], so it iz possible that Vick "elevated his game" well before these allegationz arose.. BUT!! If my world was crumblin' down around me lyke it has been recently on Michael Vick, then brother.. I ain't mad at'cha! Honestly, I don't know what the hell you were waitin' on?! If anything, I'm just mad that'z all they found! Please.. If it were me, I prolly woulda' tested positive for all kinda' shyt! Marijuana, PCP, Pain Killerz.. Moonshine, Heroin, Opium.. Coke, Pepsi, Diet Coke, Fanta.. Every damn thang!! lolz.. If I were him, I woulda' prolly OD'd on my herpes medicine, YouTube'd myself flickin' off Arthur Blank, and just said "Fukk it!" and electrocute the shyt outta my house dog for not performin' well in the Purina Dog Show.. [But, that'z just me.. lolz!]


Nah, but in all seriousness.. I reely feel bad for the dude.. To see all that talent and promise, go to waste in a matter of monthz... Not years, but monthz!! [Over somethin' that easily should have been avoided..] If there'z one thing I know, my family and friendz would never allow something lyke this to happen to me.. That'z why it iz so important to surround yourself around positive people.. If there isn't one person around you that knowz right from wrong, especially when you are one of the most world reknown people in all of sports.. Then, maybe you're not the one who'z hanging around the wrong people.. Maybe you are, the "wrong people"... [Hmmm..?]



I told him that water bottle shyt wouldn't work.. That Miami sticky ain't no joke, huh Mike?! [No worries.. You can alwayz come play in Canada with me!!!]


I mean, I'm a Vick fan.. and I will alwayz be a Vick fan.. [He may never play in the NFL again, but they can't take my Xbox! -- "Madden.. NFL.. 2007.. It's in the game.." lolz!] But, dude.. You're Michael Vick! At least try and mask your pee! Drink bleach.. Castor oil.. Penzoil.. Something!? Nigga, I know RastafarianZ that pass drug tests as soon as they get off Air Jamaica! You mean to tell me, you were fully aware that you had an Osama in New York chance of passing a drug test, but you took it anyway..? Yeah.. I thynk my vote has been swayed.. O.J., you will always be "The Juice".. But, due to a Florida miscount, this year'z 2007 D.N.O.Y. Award goes to Michael "Say It Ain't So" Vick!!! [insert applause] Congratulationz Mike!! Hey, if you're not out before my first-born son iz born, I promise I'll fynd a way to convince my wife [or mistress] to name him after you.. Maybe Pit.. or Bull.. I lyke Bull! It'z lyke Bill, without the "i".. Hmmm, I'm not sure yet.. We'll see.. I know one thing, I'm sure as hell not namin' him Michael! Oh hell no.. lolz! [Why not..?] Why not?! Are you serious?! All the Mike's I grew up idolizing, ended up fukkin' their lyfe up some kinda' way..



Mike Tyson - Wife-beater, Ear Biter, Crack head..
[The man tattoo'd hiz face, for God'z sake!]



Michael Jackson - Weirdo, Molestor, Bell Pepper Nosed Tree Climber.. ["Don't you climb trees..?"] lolz! (See below.)



Michael Irvin - Who has of recent, cleaned up his life tremendously.. Hall-of-Famer.. All-around good guy.. But!! Former crackhead..
[Ain't that a happy ass mugshot..? lolz!]



Michael "Air" Jordan - Ok, well maybe not M.J.. He didn't reely do anything wrong, I just didn't lyke the whole "Retired", "Not Retired", Bulls/Wizards thing.. Either you're gonna play, or you're not.. This iz why I stopped buying jerseyz.. 23, 45, 23.. Basketball, baseball, basketball.. Now, it'z golf with Tiger..? Blah! :)



But yeah.. I don't reely want that kinda' lyfe for my son.. Sorry, Mike.. [I thynk Bull iz alot harder anyway.. lolz!] Anyway, tune in next tyme, when I write about the Michael Vick suicide.. Unless, he somehow managez to fukk that up too! :)


And that'z reel..

Katt Williams vs. Michael Jackson:

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

I don't know the exact story as of yet, but a friend of mine just sent me an email with "Moncks Corner" in the subject line. [Moncks Corner? What the hell iz Moncks Corner?!] That's exactly what I said!! Well, that iz until I opened the email and viewed the attachment.. Yo, you gotta see this!


[Warning: If you just got back from lunch, have a hard time watching ER without getting queezy, or if you just can't stand the sight of blood, you might wanna click X now!] Otherwise.. Enjoy! :)


Evidentally, late Sunday afternoon in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, a 59-year-old man'z arm was bitten off by an alligator as he snorkeled in SC's Lake Moultrie. Authoritiez say Bill Hedden, a retired master chief with the U.S. Navy, was snorkeling at the Short Stay Navy Outdoor Recreation Area when the [550-pound] alligator tore his arm from his shoulder. Hedden stumbled into a party of picnickerz with his arm missing and blood gushing from his wound. Five nurses were among those at the gathering and put ice on his wound and kept him awake until paramedics could arrive. His arm was retrieved from the alligator's belly after wildlife officers shot the animal. The limb was then rushed to the hospital in an ice cooler with a police escort.



Wing, anyone?


Hedden was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina, which declined Monday to release any information on his condition or treatment, citing the family's request for privacy. He was listed in critical condition Sunday. The (Charleston) Post and Courier reported that a family member said doctors were unable to reattach the arm, but that Hedden was nevertheless in good spirits.



Anybody got some hot sauce?



First and foremost, I wanna say that my thoughtz and prayers are with Mr. Hedden and his family. I don't know the recovery process for this type of injury, but hopefully, doctors will be able to save his life and get him on track to resume some sense of normalcy once released..



Nevermind.. I'll just wrap it up in a lily.. lolz!


With that said, where you at PETA?!? I repeat: "His arm was retrieved from the alligator's belly after wildlife officers shot the animal." Word..? Now, I'm not condoning Michael Vick's actionz in any way, shape, form or fashion.. BUT!! What excactly did Al do wrong?! [Al'z the alligator.. I named him myself.. :) ] But yeah, what exactly did Al do wrong?! Does an alligator not deserve the same rightz as a pitt bull?! From what I've read, Al was just myndin' his own alligator business.. Tryna' enjoy a nice, calm Sunday swim with fellow alligator family and friendz.. When suddenly, as if often does in the wild, a meal presented itself.. Now, being the gator that I know Al [and every other wild animal, for that matter] to be, he saw an opportunity to feed his Sunday hunger, and he went for it! Little did he know, that there'z now an instant death penalty sentence for being a wild animal in the wilderness..


For Al's sake, it wasn't even the wilderness! It was a lake!! Was he not supposed to be there?! Don't alligatorz live in lakes?! Am I missing something..? Did Mr. Hedden have an underwater townhome that no one knew about?! Was he visiting Al for tea, when a dispute erupted, ending in severed limbz?! No!! A human being, made a choice to swim in a lake that inhabitz a large animal'z territory, and he paid the price for it.. [Are you not remorseful for this man's injuries and his family?!] Yes, of course I am.. But at the same time, if we now live in a society that rankz animal life higher than that of the homeless, then how iz it just kool to shoot a 500lb. alligator for doin' the right thing..? Now, don't get me wrong.. If Al showed up at the mall, Publix, or Burger King, lookin' for a bite to eat, then yeah.. Blast his ass! Everybody knows that gatorz aren't allowed out in shopping mallz.. But lakes?! C'mon, man! If it'z illegal to swim for food in Lake Moultrie, then what other optionz does a brotha' gator have?! I mean, he will never qualify for government assistance [trust me, I've tried..], so food stampz are clearly out of the question.. *sigh* I dunno.. I guess I'll just have to let it go lyke a severed limb, but something'z gotta change.. If Vick has to go to jail for dogfighting, I feel it would only be right to sentence Hedden to at least 5 months for his involvement in brother gator Al's execution..that's all.


And that'z reel.. [Kinda' fukked up, but reel!] :)
[rcZ]


Again, my thoughtz and prayerz are with Bill Hedden and his family.. I wish him a speedy recovery and to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, once released..

If you haven't already heard by now, some pretty [questionable] photoz of Oscar De La Hoya have recently emerged online and onto the forefront of water cooler talk.. Now, I'm not a real big DLH fan [that'z De La Hoya for my tortoisez.. :) ], so my opinion may be somewhat biased.. But! In your recollection of the greatest boxerz of all-time, or just boxers in general.. How many lick their fingerz and adjust their eyebrows during a post-fight interview? How many boxerz refer to themselves as the "Golden Boy".. [I guess "Golden Shower" was too inappropriate for HBO..or already taken, Thanks Kelz! lolz.] Or better yet, how many boxerz get hammered and dress up in their mistressez lingerie?! And takez pictures of it?!? Dude, don't you have kidz and a capital 'G' [Gorgeouz] wife?!


Don't get me wrong, we've all done things in our lives that we're not particularly proud of.. Hey Oscar, we're all fully aware of the power of the pu**y.. In my last relationship, my ex asked if she could put makeup on my face.. [Makeup?! You didn't do it, right?] What?! Of course I did! lolz.. So you're saying, all I have to do iz let you put a little lip gloss and eye liner on me, and for the rest of the night itz all-you-can-eat in Black Korea?! Sign me up!! lolz.. However, there weren't any pictures taken! No posing, lip puckering, or any other borderline San Franciscan behavior.. 10 seconds after application, there was a good 5 minutes of laughter, followed by another good 5 minutes of washing & scrubbing..and voila! Back to life, back to reality.. :)


It'z still up in the air as to whether or not the pictures taken are authentic, but they sure look pretty official to me! On the other hand, Adobe Photoshop is probably more commonly used now in photograph retouching than ever before. These days, you'd have a better chance finding Bin Laden, than trying to find a magazine cover that is completely free from editZ.. So, there is definitely a chance that these photoz have been doctored-up to resemble the former Super-Fleaweight Champion of the World.. The woman in question, Milana, denies that these photoz have been altered in any way.. Oscar insists that the photoz are not real.. A legal representative for the boxer was quoted saying:


"Oscar does know the woman who we believe is selling these photographs to the tabloid media. But he assures me that the photos are phony. He has asked me to pursue his legal remedies. Because we are contemplating legal action, Oscar will make no further comment at this time."


Sure, Oscar.. Sure.. This woman is parading half-naked, cross-dressed photoz of you across the nation to various tabloid media personnel, and you're "contemplating" legal action?! You only [contemplate] when there's doubt.. You don't contemplate legal action when you have a wife and children that may be affected by these so-called "phony pictures". Just admit it, Oscar.. You had a little too much Fuzzy Navel, and thingz got a little crazy! Don't deny the fishnet, baby! Golden Boy.. HA! Black Beauty, maybe.. You be the judge..



Just a regular night, kickin' it with my mistress..



Or should I say, Dominatrix?! Down Oscar, down!!



"And in this corner, wearing the pink pantiez with the black trim, fishnet bodysuit and stilletto heelz.."



Hey Oscar, put this wig on and bend down..



I said bend down, not over! We'll get to that later! :)



Oh yeah, there'z my sexy Golden Boy.. Drink up, dear.. Drink up!



Awww.. Got his lil' sack all bundled up, lyke a little quesedilla.. lolz!



Alright guys.. Show'z over! Golden Shower Time! YAY!!! :)



The power of the pu**y... I understand, Oscar.. I understand.. [kinda..]

The start of 2008 will mark the 20th Anniversary since moving here [Atlanta] from New York. Over the years, outside of Summerz in Jamaica, Atlanta has been the foundation for the majority of my development, from adolescence into adulthood. I undoubtedly love it here, and never once regret leaving New York with my family in search of a better life. However, at 27 years of age, I feel lyke I've come to a point in my lyfe now where a change of scenery may be in order..


[You're moving?!] No, I'm not moving...not yet! :) The core of my family, at least my mother's side, is still here in Atlanta, but I would reely lyke to experience something new.. I went to elementary school, middle school, high school and college here in Atlanta.. When I was little, I used to poke fun at my friendz that had never been on an airplane before. "An airplane?! What do I need an airplane for? I've never been out of Atlanta!" Are you serious?! That reely baffled me.. By that time, I had already been to Jamaica, France, Puerto Rico and a handful of U.S. cities, and I was only 10 or 12 years old! My mother was a single parent elementary school teacher, but we were still able to afford ourselves the opportunity to visit family and friendz in other parts of the world...and I loved it! I could not fathom the possibility of knowing nothing more outside of the 159 counties that compromise the State of Georgia. At the time, I didn't fully appreciate the summers I spent in Jamaica with my cousins and grandparents. Everyone'z been to Jamaica! [Or so, I thought..] I was young [12], and I took these luxuries for granted.. Now that I'm older, it'z kinda time to appreciate life, before life depreciatez me! lolz.


[So, you're movin..?] No! I'm not moving! I just need to get away from "Hotlanta" for a little while.. Atlanta is quickly becoming [or trying to become] a mix between New California and Old New York.. Everyone and their momma'z cousin is either an actress, model, aspiring vocalist or immensely homosexual.. lolz! It'z lyke San Franholly Newlanta or somethin.. In the past few months, I have yet to meet someone new that is not directly or indirectly involved with "The Industry".. [How can someone be indirectly involved with "The Industry"?] If your sister's friend has a cousin whose boyfriend internz at the local radio station, Congratulationz! You are now [indirectly involved] with "The Industry". Are the quotez really necessary? Yes. lolz! The next tyme you have a conversation with someone involved in the you know what, grab a piece of paper and take notez on the number of timez the words "The" and "Industry" are spoken concurrently.. lolz. Ok, maybe it'z not that serious.. I'm just over the whole industry scene here in Atlanta.. [a little haterade never hurt nobody!] :)


So yeah, if you know of any opportunitiez for travel [jobs, military, traveling circus, etc.], please let me know.. Once my lease expires, I plan to move into a more affordable one bedroom apartment. Hopefully, this will allow me to save up enough money to start some sort of travel fund.. I have alwayz wanted to take a trip to Las Vegas, and now that I am of legal age to gamble [and solicit prostitutez, lolz!], I thynk it would be the perfect resolution for a disgruntled Atlantan in need of a change of scenery.. I also promised a friend that I'd make a trip out to San Diego in October, but October is right around the corner, and my wallet is right around empty! lolz. Nevertheless, whether it'z Las Vegas or San Diego, it doesn't really matter.. What does matter is that there'z more to life than Atlanta, and if you don't mynd, I reely would lyke to see it! :)



"Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.."


lolz! In all seriousness, live everyday as if it were your last.. Because, one day it will be.. I remember a quote saying, "When you came into this world, you were crying, while everyone else around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone else around you is crying.."


And that'z exactly what I intend to do.. and that'z Reel.. :)

Now Playing: Kanye West - Stronger


Yeah, so I promised I'd write in here more regularly, huh..? Evidentally, I lied.. [Yet, again..lolz!] I would make an excuse as to why I have been unable to fulfill my promises, but I can't.. I just don't know what's wrong! I don't know if I've outgrown my ability or desire to write, but I just haven't been able to motivate myself to rise to the level of consistency I once had on my old site. I have always enjoyed writing.. But, just as with any craft, the longer you're out of practice the rustier you will be.. [Well, someone needz to pass you the WD40! lolz!] Yeah, yeah.. I know.. It's definitely gonna take a while, but I'll get my shhh togetha' soon enough! :) Empty promises are full of shyt, so please excuse me for my flatulence and allow me to wash my hands and start anew.. If that'z ok..? From this point forward, if somethin'z on my mynd and I'm near a computer [which is alwayz], then BAM! Lyke Emeril Lagasse, it'z done! I'll even throw some "gah-lick" on it.. :)



"You can never have too much gah-lick.. BAM!!!" :)


I've also been slackin' on the development of my podcast station, [ReelyfeRaydio], but that too will soon change. Some preliminary "test sessions" have already been recorded, and to this point I have been pleased with the results.. Securing two or three consistent co-hostz willing to work [Pro Bono], has been my greatest setback. However, this may not be as bad as I initially thought.. Actually, a different combination of personalitiez is exactly what I need, in order to figure out which set of individuals collectively present the best overall product.. I intend to schedule another test recording tonight, but nothing will be uploaded to the site until my co-hostz and I learn proper "Airwave Etiquette".. We use every expletive known to man [and woman], and have a tendency to overtalk one another at timez.. These are only minor issues, but I especially don't want to post anything that might be misconstrued and later land me in court with Isiah Thomas.. lolz!



'I don't see what'z wrong with callin' these hoez, "Bitches"..'


Speaking of Hall of Fame athletes.. What the hell iz wrong with O.J.?! I'm not gonna get too deep into it because I wanna discuss it on [ReelyfeRaydio] tonight, but O.J. and Michael Vick are clearly front runners for D.N.O.Y..[Dumbest Nigger of the Year]. If I had to choose a winner between the two, it would have to be The Juice.. Only because he has already been aquitted of killing two white people [Strike 1], wrote a book about it [Strike 2], and now he's the leader in an attempted armed robbery and facing possible life imprisonment?! [Strike 3, dude.. You're out!!!] Lyke no one would notice that big ass forehead floatin' around Las Vegas! C'mon Orenthal! [I hope he wore gloves!] lolz!



"Is Johnny [Cochran] really dead..? I think I may need some help.."


Last night marked the premiere of Season 4 of Beauty and the Geek. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of reality TV, but this show is hilariouz! I missed seasons 1 and 2, but last season had me glued to my television every week.. [Is it reely that good?] Hell no.. But, if ur anything lyke me and the type of person that can laugh at yourself, then you probably don't have a problem laughing at someone else. [Especially] those as socially awkward as the cast of "Geeks" the CW manages to scrape together, season after season.. Now, don't get me wrong.. I am in no way, shape or form, any more of a hunk than the majority of these guys.. BUTT!! [Yes, two T'z..] BUTT!! There comes a time and place in every young man's life, when he eventually has to come to grips with reality.. Twenty-somethin' and never kissed a gyrl..? Only hugged family..? I used to wonder how some dudez could go to the strip club every weekend, and spend money on women they'd never have a chance with.. Well, tune in Tuesday nightz at 8/7c on the CW, and you will definitely see.. [Now, as for the "Beautiez".. Omg!] I don't know how theze guyz do it, but they're lucky I wasn't cast to be a Geek.. Cuz, if I was on the show, they wouldn't have been able to use any of my footage from the waist down! I'd be breakin' cameraz and pokin' eyes out all day! lolz!!



Joshua. By far, my favorite cast member.. lolz!


In an effort to escape my "Geek body", I have decided to participate in a 90-day workout plan starting in December. The promise is a "full body transformation", or your money back.. Personally, I don't want my money back.. I just wanna see a change. Every thirty dayz, I will take a picture to show my progression [or lack thereof..] I am notorious for hittin' the gym hard everyday for about 2 or 3 weeks, runnin' home to admire my "30-minute chest" in the mirror, never to be found again...then I wonder why I'm skinny again at the end of the month. lolz! Well, since I'm payin' for this, I might as well do it right and see if it actually workz this time.. Look out for my skeleton in December! :)


Lastly, I wanted to briefly touch on another topic I wish to discuss on [ReelyfeRaydio], and that's Mr. Kanye West.. I don't know the entire story, so I'm not gonna form an official opinion until all the facts are known, but.. Dude, relax.. You're killin' 50 Cent in album sales, your single iz on repeat at each and every top radio station across America.. Dude, you're HUGE! Why are you still trippin' off gettin' respect from MTV?! So, they gave you a smaller stage to perform on.. Who carez?! Did you get paid..?! Yes!! Did your single get exposure?! Yes!! Did you rip it?! Yes!! Then keep it movin', pimpin! If you're [that] upset with MTV, or whoever for that matter.. Boycott!! Instead of competin' with another [brother] over album salez, refuse to allow the stationz that supposedly don't "respect" you, to play your shyt! What is MTV without music..? Television. What is a bus without passengers..? A movement. Instead of poppin' off at the mouth everytime somethin' doesn't go ur way, do somethin [positive] about it.. Don't bitch, moan and provide the media with additional ammo to add to your already loaded arsenal of ignorant character flaws! Actionz speak louder than wordz, but some thingz are easier said than done.. Nevertheless, the single iz hott, and I appreciate you gracing my page with your talents.. As for everything else, I suggest you take your own advice.. It can only make you stronger..


Oh, and P.S. - Mr. McNabb, get a grip.. You don't complain about all that money you get from Campbell's Chunky Soup, so don't start whinin' now about gettin' boo'ed.. It'z the nature of the beast.. You've been black all your life, so unless you got Michael Jackson's "disease", you'll most likely stay that way.. It'z the world we live in. Learn to deal with it..


And that'z Reel...

Now Playing: Me'Shell NdegeOcello - Bitterly


I bet you reely never expected me to stay true to my word and update this thing, huh? lolz. No, not really. Yeah, me either.. lolz. I actually meant to write in here last night, but it was already getting way too much past 12 o'clock. So, I just took a few notez on what I wanted to write about, and ended up falling asleep.. The following morning, I checked the site and realized the music [Sam Cooke] wasn't playing. It was well overdue for a change anyway, so that didn't bother me much. The only frustrating thing about the whole situation, was choosing a replacement...


About 2 or three yearz ago [when I had hair], I used to host another site similiar to this that only contained a blog.. It was amazing, the number of people whom I had never met a day in my life, that would read my blog on a regular basis. At timez, some would even go as far as to email me if I didn't make an entry for long periodz of time! It was crazy.. So anyway, my point iz.. In my eyez, the way I wrote my other blogz was alot more fluid than it feelz when I write now..and I feel alot of it comez from the muziq I used to incorporate throughout my entriez.. I write [alot] better with muziq playing in the background.. Itz almost as if the muziq inspirez my thought in a way that complete silence only complicatez. So..in order to reely get off on the right foot [key], I would need the perfect song...


I needed a song that blended with my notez from the previous night, but nothing I listened to felt quite right.. So I just decided to save my written thoughtz for a later entry, and I would just write about the next song [randomly] choosen in rotation on my winamp playlist. Are you serious..? You went through all of that, just to pick whatever song you heard next?! Yeah, you're clever.. lolz. No, not clever...just unable to decide. Anyway, as you saw at the head of the entry, the song chosen was [Bitterly] by Me'Chelle (pronounced Michelle) NdegeOcello (pronounced In-Day-Gay-O-Cello). I swear I couldn't have selected a better song to help reintroduce my page.. I have gone through alot of soul searching in the past few monthz, and this song not only expresses how I feel about a certain aspect of my life...but it gives enough explanation of my past for me to leave it there. Leave it where..? In the past.


One thing I do regret about my old blog, was the amount insight I gave people [total strangerz] about me.. I guess I was naive to the fact that this is the internet.. lolz. I mean, I didn't post my SSN and credit information or anything, but I did give people [way] too much insight into my personal life, feelingz/relationshipz, etc. So, yeah..there won't be anymore of that goin on round' theze parts.. lolz! I will say, however.. This song is [reely] beautiful. If you have the time, when you finish reading this I suggest you restart the track from the beginning and listen to the wordz.. Of course, every line doesn't apply to me [or any of you] for that matter, that would be kinda' creepy.. lolz. But, just listen to her introduction to the song.. Anyone who has ever loved and loved lost, can relate to the feeling of anger and bitterness of which she speakz.. Personally, I'm not angry nor am I bitter, but at one point in time I was.. Thankfully, that was then...and this is now...


Ladiez & Gentlemen [and more ladiez, if available.. lolz!] without further adieu... [what are you French now..?] Aye! Lyke I was saying, without further adieu.. Me'Chelle Ndegeocello! [Bitter]

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

Wow.. It'z been over 3 monthz since my last entry, promising to update the site more regularly...not to mention also promising to revamp the site layout with the removal of HeadlyneZ, and the addition of something new.. Yeah, so what happened? Uhm...to be honest, I reely don't know.. I just hadn't been in the mood to work on it lyke I wanted to thusfar, and before I knew it..it was August! So, how do we know that this isn't another "one-entry wonder" lyke April 9th? Honestly, we don't know that.. However, I do know that I miss writing.. I haven't written in so long, that I've lost my sense of style..writing style, that is.. I'm sure it'll come back to me once I write more and more regularly, but even this entry is taking me longer than it used to, to complete.. So, please bare with me for the next few weeks as my entriez might end up coming out a little out of order, or hard to read. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do about [HeadlyneZ], but I do know for sure that it will be removed from the site completely.


Developing [ReelyfeRaydio] iz definitely one of my top prioritiez now, in addition to updating my blog more regularly. I have decided to make it a 2-man show, with a female co-host that will make occasional "guest appearancez" once the show is up and running. Choosing the right people to fill these positionz will be the hardest part, but I have a few individualz in mynd that I thynk will do a great job at making the show a success, so we'll see..


Lyke I said before, the next few entriez may be very difficult to read as I search to fynd my journalistic niche', but I'm sure it won't be long before I'm able to make [ReelyfexperienceZ] a place "..where everyday iZ a reelyfexperience.." Wat a shameless plug.. lolz..


Ok, I'm done for now.. We'll see how long this promise lastz.. lolz! :)


Lataz!

Now Playing: Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come


Happy [belated] Easter! :) I started to write this yesterday, but I got sidetracked and didn't get to finish until today.. [So technically, my Easter greeting was on time.. lolz.]


Anyway, I was looking over my site the other day, and realized that other than [ReelyfeBlogZ], everything else is pretty much [just there].. [ReelyfeRaydio] has yet to take off [or even make it to the runway], for that matter.. However, I still plan on making that portion of my page a success, so look out for that in the future [reel talk].. :) I still have yet to get my camera, so my [PortfolioZ] page won't become "official" until that changez.. [I'm actually alot closer to getting it ryte now, so hopefully that'll change reel soon!] And, [HeadlyneZ] ended up just being too much for me to keep up with.. Especially with your inability to keep the site updated.. Exactly. lolz.. If there'z somethin' in the news that I reely wanna discuss, I'll more than likely just post somethin' in my blog.. The concept seemed interesting at first, but became alot more overwhelming than I anticipated.. I never realized how much more fact than opinion was necessary when writing an article.. I'm so used to just sayin' whatever the hell I wanna say [in my blog], that it was difficult to transition from one to the next, without a trickling effect..u know?


So what I've decided to do, is to discontinue HeadlyneZ [at least, for now..] and replace it with another idea.. Like?? I'm not exactly sure yet.. Initially, I planned to have guest writers post interesting, thought provoking blog entries [from a woman's perspective], with reader feedback, comments, etc. But I later decided against it.. Why? Afraid of what you might read? [i.e. Male bashing] lolz. Most definitely not. I just don't thynk having another blog is going to improve the site the way it needs to be improved.. I want something that is going to draw viewers/users on a daily basis. ReelyfeRaydio and PortfolioZ [once up & running] will definitely draw itz own attention.. I've recorded a couple of test podcasts, and if everything goes according to plan, they should be quiet interesting.. :) I'm also quite confident that once I get my camera, I'll be able to showcase my talent [via PortfolioZ], and everything else should fall into play.. At least that'z the plan.. lolz. PortfolioZ will be used to host model interviewz, schedule appointments, and most importantly, serve as an online portfolio for both aspiring models and myself..


Sounds like a plan.. So what's the new page gonna be about..?


I reely dont know! I need help.. If anyone can thynk of a good replacement, I'm open to suggestionz.. Nothing in particular, just something excitingly fresh [and unique], if possible.. "What's On YouTube" has been somewhat of a hit thusfar, so who knowz..? Maybe I'll devote an entire page to video clipz only.. How about we keep brainstorming..? lolz. Well, in the meantime, I'm going to work hard to expedite my camera [or lack of] situation, and see if I can get a podcast released in the near future. We won't hold our breath.. lolz. [Please dont.] :)


Until then, keep checking in as the site progressively improves.. I promise to have everything at 100% by..? [September???] Please refer to "breath" comment above.. :) lolz. Yeah, we'll see..


I'm gone.. Lataz!

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

I suck.. I know.. I'm sorry! I reely have no excuse for not keeping my site updated.. I still haven't gotten a new job, so itz not lyke my dayz are occupied.. lolz. I guess I've just been lazy.. Ya thynk?! To be honest, I thought of writing a few times since my last entry, but I just didn't have the motivation.. I never realized before bein' unemployed, how boring it is to be at home all day.. Yeah, sick dayz are the best.. Skippin' school to stay home and play games, etc. Takin' an "extended weekend" when you don't feel lyke goin' to work Monday morning..Oh, the good times! When ur at work, you wish you were home.. But when ur home, you wish you were at work! Yeah right! I'll take home over work ANY day! Trust me.. The first couple of weeks, maybe the first month.. Oh yeah, its great! You wake up when you want.. Eat when you want.. Walk around in your drawz.. Pee on the carpet, if you feelin' froggish.. The world is your oyster! [I never reely knew what that meant.. But it fit! :)] But once that month is over, it seems like time stands still.. The dayz go by slower and slower...and before you know it, you have played every video game, surfed every myspace and facebook profile you could get ur web browser on, and watched every episode of the horribly terrible, yet interestingly addictive Tyra Banks Show.. [Yes, Tyra.] You could not be that bored.. Could you..? Let's just say I joined the "panties party", and I'm now a firm believer in supporting granny panties.. [On occasions.. :)]


Anyway, I don't wanna make it sound lyke I'm suicidal or anything.. I do manage to still go out and kikk it, or whatever.. I'm actually lookin' forward to tonight's NCAA Final Four Championship game between Ohio State University and last year's National Champion - The University of Florida. I'm kinda' torn between both schoolz, as far as who I want to win, so as long as its a good game, I'll be happy.. The person who impregnated my mother, resulting in my birth [aka "my father"], is from Columbus, Ohio. My birth certificate says I was born there, but I have no recollection of it.. lolz. My memory begins in New York, but they insist I'm "Buckeye born".. Anyway, I don't thynk I wrote about this in any earlier entriez, but I found out a year or so ago that "my father" had several other children by different women, that I never knew existed.. To make a long story short, I went from being an only child to the 2nd or 3rd oldest [I'll explain that some other time] of what we think is 5 brothers and sisterz.. What do you mean "what we think"?? Either you iz or you ain't.. [Sad thing is, people reely talk lyke that.. lolz.] Basically, "my father" and his older brother were never made aware of contraceptives, such as condoms or dare I say abstinence.. So, they decided to plant their "seeds" in each and every available female in Columbus. So, the reason "we think" is because we're reely unsure at to whether or not there are more of us running around Columbus, yet to be discovered.. [Sad, I know.. I prefer to use the term "pathetic".] So, my newfound sister, Summers [Yes, Summers with an "s". "Her father" named her.. :)] is a diehard Buckeye fan, much lyke every other Columbus, Ohio resident with a pulse.. So I root for the Buckeyes, as long as they're not playing against my school, or another school that I just reely lyke, ya know? So ou're goin' for the Buckeyes? Well, yes and no.. I'm not a "Florida Fan", but with the way the game of college basketball has changed, you can't help but root for the Gators this year.. If you didn't know, after winning the National Championship last year, 4 of the 5 starters from last year's team [4 Sophomores], all of which had the option of declaring themselves eligible for the NBA draft, decided to all return to school for another year, and attempt to repeat as champions.. As far-fetched as it may have seemed to everyone else at the time, Florida is one win away from making history.. The last team to win back-to-back NCAA Basketball Championships was Duke University in 1991 and again in 1992. With the influence of the $NBA$, college dynasties are a thing of the past.. So, to find a team with enough courage and selflessness to stay together and return to school, when they could currently be millionaires is something special.. I wish the Gators luck tonight.. Oh ok, so you're goin' for Florida? No.. I said I wish them luck.. I just wanna see a good game..may the best team win! But, if I had to choose.. I would pick Florida, and only because of what I explained.. It took alot of selflessness from each Florida player to turn down the NBA draft, more importantly.. NBA dollar$, to return to college for another year.. I respect what those players did, and I applaud their accomplishments.. Even if they don't win tonight and repeat for the National title, they'll still be winners and the best team in college basketball. [Even tho' they will.. :)] That answerz my question.. :)


Ok, I'm done for now.. I need to get ready for this game.. Until next tyme.. :)


Lataz!

Fuk* it.. Go Gatorz! :)

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

Hey!! *insert sarcasm* Thanks for the prompt update *end sarcasm* lolz. Yeah, yeah.. I know.. I apologize.. I meant to post somethin' alot sooner, but I've been goin' thru a tough spot in my lyfe ryte now, and just haven't had the tyme to write/update the site. However, I decided to confront alot of my problemz and leave the rest in God'z handz.. I'm still not 100% "recovered", but I'm definitely on my way.. What kinda' "problemz"? I guess I wouldn't classify them as "problemz", more like "needs" and "wants".. I need a job.. I haven't worked since December, other than the "thing" I had to do for those people.. That'z not reely a job, more lyke a part-time hustle.. So that doesn't reely count.. Once I get a job, I can get what I want, which is a digital camera.. Once I get my camera, I can get started on what I reely want to do.. My photography.. Is that all..? Sounds feasible..


Not reely.. I also want to fynd someone that I can be genuinely happy with.. I've been out of a relationship for almost 6 months now, if not longer.. and as much as I enjoy the freedom of the single life.. Oddly enough, I miss the feeling of having that one special someone that no one else measures up to.. I talked to my ex last nyte about the possibility of us trying to work out our differences, but she isn't ready to go back to the way thingz were, and to be honest.. I don't blame her.. I didn't treat her the best towards the end of our relationship, but I can honestly say that I have learned from the past, and grown alot since then.. I didn't reely expect her to be lyke, "Oh okay.. Let's do it!", so it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.. I just wanted to put it out there, just so I knew for sure before I moved on with my lyfe.. And now I can..


I watched this preacher on TV last night, named Joel Osteen. His sermon was entitled "Have Realistic Expectations in Your Relationships". I recommend any and everyone ever planning to get married or anyone in a serious relationship, to go to his site and download it, if you have the time.. I'm single and it helped me! lolz. It just put alot of things in perspective, when it comez to being in a relationship and making it work with your partner.. His sermon [and a few outrageous dreamz..] iz what reely gave me the motivation to talk to my ex about our past, and see what would be the best for us to do.. Even though thingz didn't work out the way I probably would have liked them to, at least I got the opportunity to get thingz off my chest that I kept bottled up for quite some time.. I learned from his sermon, that you'll never find someone that is "perfect" for you.. Everyone has their faults, but itz the person whose good qualities outweigh their bad, that you want to hold onto.. In my eyes, KES'z [my ex] good qualities outweigh her bad, and its my responsibility to overlook the bad, and not let that influence my opinion about her overall character.. He also said that God has a way of putting us together with someone totally opposite of ourselves.. She'z kinda shy, whereas I'm alot more outgoing.. She worriez alot more about what otherz thynk, whereas I could care less.. She kept me young and motivated, and I kept her grounded and less naive to reality.. lolz. And that'z exactly why we were brought together.. To help one another improve in areas where we were lacking.. I kinda wish I would have seen his broadcast sooner, but hindsight iz always 20:20.. Iz it not? :)


Nevertheless, I woke up this morning feeling reely good about myself [don't ask me why.. I just did! lolz.], almost refreshingly new.. I've been having some reely detailed dreamz lately, and last night I dreamed about KES again [for lyke the 3rd consecutive dream sequence! She alwayz said she'd stalk me in my dreamz if we ever broke apart.. lolz!], but this tyme it wasn't as dramatic and nightmarish as before.. I was at a cafe' or a diner somewhere, and she walked in with this guy.. They sat down to eat, and as I stood up to leave, someone walked to my table and asked "is this seat taken?", kinda' lyke they do in the movies, ya know? Anyway, there were plenty of seatz available, but she insisted on sitting at my table.. She was "dreamy" *no pun intended*, so I agreed to sit with her while she ate.. Her food selection was initially disgusting to the naked eye.. consisting of all the foodz I don't fukk wit.. [cheese, mayo, cream of somethin' nasty.. all that!] She made taste just a little of each, and after trying it.. I realized it wasn't that bad.. I just never actually gave it a chance.. [Now, keep in mynd.. this was a dream.. Don't thynk I'm a cheesy, mayo and cream eatin' katt now.. Bringin' cheese broccoli and cream of mushroom soup to my house.. Just a dream.. k? :)] I don't know who she was, which makez the dream reely interesting to me.. But I got the message.. As much as I love and care for KES, I reely gotta let her go.. There iz someone for everyone, and if she was truly meant for me, we would be.. She was placed in my lyfe for a reason, and vice versa.. We learned so much from one another and she'll always have a special place in my heart.. My job now iz not to convince her that we should try again, but acknowledge the fact that she has to move on.. and so do I.. As happy as we were together, I can fynd happiness with someone else.. Can't I? The gyrl of my dream didn't have an identity for a reason.. My job now is to figure out who she is.. or go back to sleep.. lolz. Yeah, or go back to sleep! lolz..


I thynk that was a pretty decent entry, don't ya thynk.. Made up for a little lost time.. I'll definitely keep everyone updated as new information becomez available.. :) Oh, as for the "thing".. I did alot better the last tyme I went, so hopefully I'll be invited back again.. Wish me luck!! As for the rest of my wants and needs.. We shall see.. The Lord workz in mysterious wayz.. Dreamz too!! :)


Anyway, my ride iz here.. Impatiently waiting.. lolz. Gotta go! [Yeah, add the car situation to the "need" list.. lolz!]


Have a great day everyone, and thankz for reading!
LataZ!

P.S. - Check out Joel Osteen'z website if you can! :)

What'z up? I'm doin' better about the blog entries, huh? You're welcome! I reely wanna get my [ReelyfeRaydio] site up and running, but I haven't decided what I want my show to be about.. My friendz S.dot & Reg did a practice show with me one night, kinda freestyle.. It was kool though.. I'm thinking of having two or three co-hosts on the show.. It makes the show flow so much smoother.. I dunno. We'll see.. I definitely want to get started on that soon though!


So, I did ok yesterday at the "thing" I had to do for those "people". I definitely can do alot better and hope to get the opportunity to do so soon! I'm still not comfortable saying what it iz, but its legal mom! lolz. They asked me to come again tomorrow morning, so I didn't suck that bad! Either that, or they couldn't fynd anyone else... Hmmm..? I wonder.. lolz.


Oh well... Either way, I'm there... Oh, I'm hoping to get a camera soon! How soon..? We shall see..


Ok, well I need to get ready for tomorrow... ttylz!

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

This will be very short, but I hadn't gotten the opportunity to update much since my last entry, so I wanna try and say somethin... Excuses. Tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothingness...shall I continue? lolz. No thankz.. It'z funny, because no matter what.. I don't remember where I learned that.. But I'll never forget it..


[If you've heard it, you know the rest..]


I'm goin' to do somethin' for these people tomorrow, but I can't say what... If I do good, maybe I can... If I don't... I'll prolly erase this entry... Either way, as long as I come out on top! lolz. I gotta wake up at 6 just to get ready, so you KNOW I'm tryna get in bed early tonight.. 11, 12.. maybe 1.., depending on whether or not Jay Leno has Forest Whitaker on tonight... I hope he does. You watch "The Tonight Show"? Yup. Arsenio's gone.. Magic never made it.. Charles Barkley on TNT is the closest I get to a black late night talk show host, and he's just bein' country! lolz. Leno iz kool tho.. NBC usually has a knack for getting people on the show right after they do something big, so hopefully they got him.. Oh, for those of you that don't know, Forest Whitaker won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the Oscars last night. He played the role of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland". I haven't seen it yet, but apparently, he killed it! If his performance was anything close to his Oscar-winning acceptance speech, I'm there! It was the most heart-wrenching [I hope that'z a good thing.. I was tryna sound intelligent..] and passionate speech that night, by far.. Jennifer Hudson acted totally surprised..she thought she was still on Idol with that "I didn't thynk I was gonna win" mentality.. Bitch, you done won everything else this year! Why not?! You're a star now! Surprise!!! The secrets out Jennifer! Damn.. It'z kool to be humble, but at least have a little somethin' you practiced... JUST IN CASE you happen to win your THIRD award this year... All the while, little ole' Beyonce' playz backseat for the first tyme in her lyfe... Aww.. I'll comfort you baby.. It'z okay.. :)


Oh, sorry...back to Forest. I got a little sidetracked.. I thynk I have ADD. ADD, not add.. [I know at least one person that read that and said, "ADD? What the hell is ADD? He ain't got no money.. SUB maybe.. But definitely not no ADD!" lolz.] See, I did it again.. So anyway, his speech.. It was reely nyce..


"Because when I first started acting, it was because of my desire to connect to everyone," Whitaker said. "To that thing inside each of us. That light that I believe exists in all of us. Because acting for me is about believing in that connection and it's a connection so strong, it's a connection so deep, that we feel it. And through our combined belief, we can create a new reality."


If anyone comes across the YouTube of the Forest Whitaker acceptance speech, please email it to me! Speaking of which, my friend Carolyn in D.C. emailed me a YouTube video that she wanted to share... I don't wanna say itz her anthem or anything, but.. Well, she'z from D.C.. Meaning..? I dunno.. I just lyke sayin' that... Anyway, enjoy!




Is that Justin Timberlake?! Yup! All you need is harmony and a nyce beat, and you can make anything sound good! lolz! It'z my - in a box! [Keepin' it PG-21..] :) Oh, and ladiez.. Feel free to email me for box rental! lolz. j/k! maybe. lolz! Wish me luck tomorrow! [rcZ]


I thought I was done, but I got caught up on YouTube and came across this video.. FYI - My kidz will not play soccer.. They may not even be allowed outside, but soccer.. Nah, not an option..



Ok, I'm done for real this tyme... LataZ!

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

What'z up? I actually found these clips on ifilm.com and not YouTube, but I'm not about to make another logo, so just pretend it sayz "What'z on ifilm?" :)


One of the producerz from ifilm.com was on Maury today and that'z how I came across the site.. They have oodlez and oodlez of hilariouz video clipz, much lyke YouTube, but I found these two particularly funny and thought I'd share them with my readerz/viewerz.. Enjoy!


In this first clip, there is a man and a woman on an elevator in China, or Japan..somewhere in Asia. Anyway, I don't know if he followed her onto the elevator, but as the doors open, he attemptz to steal her purse and make a break for it.. Little does he know that.. Well, see for yourself!



I know not many people enjoy their jobz, but itz dually difficult to work at a place you hate, with people you hate. Itz especially difficult when they're throwin' spit ballz at you while ur tryna work. Well, in this clip, this was the spit ball that broke the camel'z back! Check it out..



I don't know if I should be laughin' at this next clip or not, but white boyz do some of the most RIDICULOUZ shyt sometimez.. And if I'm not allowed to laugh, then they shouldn't be allowed to live.. Otherwise.. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "Dude, I'm serious!" Classic.



Ok, this is the last one, courtesy of Connie Chung.. I'm sure the majority of you have seen this by now, but for those of you that haven't.. Well, let'z just say.. I see now how she and Maury Povich stay married..



Wanna help?? If you come across a video you thynk iz HI-LARIOUZ, share! Send the link to reelyfexperiencez@gmail.com. I gotta screen it first. Itz a family show, shyt! :) [rcZ]

[ReelyfexperienceZ.net]

Wait a minute. I know he'z not finna' talk about the Grammy'z dayz after ole' gyrl asked him to! (Yes, "finna". That'z how we talk in tha' A.. Well.. Thatz how THEY talk! lolz.) And yes, I am.. I already explained the reason why my site was a little backed up, so there is no more need to explain. Suck it up! :)


I'm not a big "awards" person to be honest, but I thoroughly enjoyed this year's Grammy performancez. Mary J. Blige showed everyone again why she is the true Queen of R&B. Chris Brown danced his azz off, but forgot to review the "Usher School of Sing & Dance" video. Usher learned the hard way a couple yearz back that you gotta conserve some energy for the vocalz, unless u plan on gettin' Milli Vanilli to make up for ur voice crackin! Soundz lyke Chris "Run It, Run It Outta' Breath!" lolz! That was corny.. Thin ice, dude.. Thin ice.



The performance of the night had to be between Christina Aguilera and Gnarlez Barkley.. I'm still waiting on the DNA results back from the Christina Aguilera blood sample, to determine where the hell this little woman getz all that soul from! *screamz* THIS IS A MAN'S WORLD! She blew me away! You ever listened to somethin' so moving that it makes the fine hairz on ur back tingle? Nah, not reely.. Well, watch this clip and try again...



Not to be outdone by any means, was Gnarlez Barkley. Oh wow.. Now, I'm reely not a Cee-Lo Green fan, but this dude iz talented. Time-out. Are you anybody'z fan? Ur forever tellin' us who u don't lyke.. Who do you like..? Hmmm? I'm startin' not to lyke u.. lolz. Anyway, he was kool when he was with Goodie-Mob back in the day, but once he went solo, he started weirdin' me out.. You had to be high off hallucinative mushroomz to fully grasp his message.. I'm guessing, mom! I'm guessing!! :) But, looking back.. I thynk I was too young to understand him. Cee-Lo iz a musical genius.. Much like his partner, Danger Mouse.. Their love for music goes beyond platinum records, album salez and record dealz.. These brothaz express themselves more clearly and creatively through music, better than most individualz can verbally.. I admire their work, appreciate their style.. unique sense of individuality, and look forward to their future.. Ladiez and Gentlemen.. Gnarlez Barkley!


What tripped me out the most about their performance was Danger Mouse'z disappearing act! Check it out! He'z clearly on stage with Cee-Lo at the start of the performance, right? Ok, then Cee-Lo walkz to the stage, and BAM! He's sitting down playin' the piano!! Houdini?! Danger Magic?! Am I trippin..? Help me out here!


Anyway, like I said earlier.. For the most part, I was very satisfied with this year'z performancez and look forward to seein' Christina tear it up again next year.. She ripped Donny Hathaway'z "A Song For You" last year.. Let the world know who'z world it reely was this year.. And I'm sure she'll be back next year to take that white face mask off, and show us who'z reely under that 90lb. white gyrl suit!


Well, that'z my take on the 2007 Grammy'z... Sorry for the delay! (I'm reely not. Just tryna be congenial.. lolz.) I posted Christina'z performance from last year for those of you who may have missed it..



Ok, I'm done.. Enjoy! [rcZ]

I'm not a huge Brittany Spears fan, so I could reely care less about her shaving her head and getting tattooz all over her body... But evidentally, it was a pretty big deal in the media world.. I haven't watched the entire video clip myself, but from the looks of it, she chopped it off! I don't know if the little gyrl from the trailer park has been overwhelmed by stardom, but this chyk needz serious medical attention.. If it ain't one thing, itz another.. I mean, I'm all for celebrities being free to do what they want, etc. But at the same time, if ur in a custody battle with your ex-husband [who isn't too bright himself!], why give the media a reason to influence the courts of law, and possibly damage your credibility as a parent? Doesn't make much sense to me. Anyway, lyke I said... I'm not a fan, so whatever... I just feel bad for the kid! lolz.


Here'z the video for those of you who wanna see... Enjoy. [rcZ]


Brittany Gone Wild?
