Being on twitter and talking to a bunch of men, I constantly see them complain and talk about how women are such "jockers" or copy a female's style like Nicki Minaj, Amber Rose, and Rihanna. I personally feel that these women are doing their thing. They are doing great things as far as Branding themselves. Since they breathe fashion and individuality its no mystery why women want to emulate them. These girls are influenced by them and dress like them, wear their hair like theirs, and even call themselves the names of these celebrities.
I don't have a problem with that because famous people have been influencing hair, makeup, and fashion trends since there was a Hollywood. I do have a problem with the men that bash these women for doing so. I have a problem with them because its like the pot calling the kettle black. Men "Dick Ride" so much it's not even funny and its acceptable.
Take a celebrity/athlete like Michael Jordan. Every guy you know that are into sneakers, owns a pair of Jordans or multiple pairs. And wait it does not end there. He can get a Jordan tattoo, have Jordan posters, clothes, and talk about him like he knows him personally. They can tell you his whole life story, stats, etc etc. Is that NOT obsession? I find that to be so extreme. But when a teenaged - early 20's year old female rocks full bangs and calls herself a Barbie she's a Nicki Stan? And when I refer to these men that do that, they are like 21 and up, hell even the ones in their 30's.
So tell me? What makes these men think that its cool for them to rock Air Yeezy's , a Levis jean jacket and skinny jeans and swear that they are so different knowing you just saw a picture of Cudi wearing the exact same thing. Or wait, how about when Ye' dropped "Runaway", so many GROWN men were calling themselves Douchebags because Kanye called himself that..
Another instance is men loving Wiz and Curren$y.. I love them too, but dudes just know they are in the Taylor Gang and are Jets wearing Chuck Taylors and Jets paraphernalia. And these men take it to another level! Wiz and Spitta only smoke papers, so guess what? So many guys only smoke with papers now?
All in all men act like ho ass groupies too.. Excuse my language but I call it as I see it.

It's Been a While..Again
Sooo... I know it's been such a long time since I last updated my blog. I really don't know what I am going to do to it.. I don't really have a following or anything, which is why I don't update that much. Or maybe its because I am more boring than I thought.. Or its the fact that I don't have loyal friends.. Who knows..
OH!!! And I bought a new laptop so I don't have an excuse to NOT Blog.. Also don't forget to go to AmberNoRoseBlog where I'm a featured blogger.
Anyway,
I started school in January and it has been amazing so far. I'm actually doing great in all my classes. I'm doing exceptionally well in the one class I thought I would have issues in. However, I do have social issues in that class. Well its very one-sided really. More like my problem..LOL
There is this girl that I sit next to in the class gets on my nerves. I don't know anything about her but she is just UGH. The 1st thing she did that pissed me off was take up the whole table.. Like 2/3's of the table is consumed mostly with this big dirty bag! It's not a purse so put that bag on the floor.
Another thing, I know that you should always be yourself at all times, but the way this girl scratches her hair is so disgusting. She puts her hand under her shirt and scratches her stomach and back.. And the sound of her nails digging into her skin makes my skin crawl... And her hands are always ashy.. I'm just thinking DUH! That's why you're itchy like that, you haven't moisturized.
The thing that pissed me off the most is her questioning me if my hair was real or not. Sometimes i blow my hair out, flat iron, do braid outs (often) and buns. So i guess the week before last I had my hair in my styled from my regular braid out with the middle part and the next week i blew it out and had it in a bun on top of my head. She says to me on the day I had my hair in the bun, "What happened to your hair?"
I respond, "Huh?"
She says, "Last week you had it out and curly"
Me, "Yeah, it's just up in a bun now"
Her "But it was big, was that a weave?"
Me, "Yes, that's my natural hair"
How you gon' question the hair that I grew out my head? This week.. I had my hair out again. As soon as I sit down I can feel her staring at me. I turn to look at her and she quickly turns her head. She was really staring at my hair to figure out if I'm lying. Whether I'm lying about my hair or not, is it gonna change her life if its real or fake? It's not like she complimented me.
Anyway, i am going to try to manage my time better to stay committed to this blog.

"For Colored Girls" Review
Last night I watched For Colored Girls for the 2nd time. Initially when I heard about the movie and that Tyler Perry was the producer/director I got so turned off. My opinions of Tyler movies and him as whole are another topic but I don't like his works too much. So, based upon his previous releases I wasn't thrilled. However I was convinced to see it and that was one heavy movie. I then found myself reading so many reviews of the movie and mostly men critics hated the movie because they were "bashed". I just laugh at that because this movie wasn't about them.. Men were minor props in the movie.
I feel that every lead role and their story was about how we as women are victimized even though we somewhat put ourselves in these damaging relationships and situations. And most powerfully the admission of the shame and guilt that was caused because of our trust in others that allow us to become vulnerable.
Though I have never really experienced anything like these characters but when I look back at the decisions I've made in life, in retrospect that are mistakes there is this burgeoning guilt and embarrassment. Women are so vulnerable, its our nature. And at that same time we have instinct. And that alone is why we can feel so ashamed.
But what I learned from this movie is still something I'm trying to figure out. Its like the poem that Loretta Devinespoke about someone "walking off with all of my stuff" is easier said than done. How can we avoid being "raped' by a person that was invited in, making your mate faithful, doing everything right and still being left alone? I guess the point is all about resilience. Being strong and moving on maybe?
All in all it was a great movie for all women. I'd definitely watch it again...

2010 Wrap Up
I remember the end of 2009 when practically everyone said " I win in 2010" and other things to that effect. Well for me I had no idea what 2010 had in store for me. All I can say is that this year was probably one of the hardest times in my life but definitely the biggest growth spurt I've had mentally and emotionally. I also learned that I'm more resilient than i thought.
Truthfully, I thought I wouldn't make it. Getting sick from some crazy inexplicable kidney infection, taking care of my cousin, and losing my friend. Also that night I got drunk and ended up in the ER. I didn't realize the stress I was under and I was pushing all my problems aside. However, I persevered and did make some accomplishments.I start school on January 18th which is a great way to kick off a new year. Once again I have no resolutions for the New Year. The only goal I see has always been my goal and that's to get this education and reach my level of success. The only difference is that this year there is nothing in the way. What excuse can I use this time?

Booming Like An 808
Update!!!
I totally got accepted into Mercy College! I will be attending Spring Semester 2011! Unfortunately they only accepted 19 of my transfer credits but it's better than nothing! So I was thinking about BA's in Sociology, Music Education, or Music Industry and Production. So yes I am undecided.
I'm proud of myself for making that effort to go back. It took me to realize that going out and taking risks aren't always as scary as they seem. Yeah I may be broke while going but I know the money will come eventually. What's struggling for 3 more years? I really only have one person to thank for their consistent voice in my head saying "Have you applied yet? When are you going to do it?" Thank You =D!! You know who you are! Wish me luck kiddos and hope that I wont be bald by Spring Break!

Its Been A While
I know I left you guys on pens and needles for 3 months.... Or not. But I think I am officially back for good. Things have been rough of course. Especially with my lap top breaking. I'll see if I can salvage it by buying a new Hard Drive.
Well I'm actually in Virginia right now visiting my mother and brother for the Christmas holiday. It has turned out to be a horrible trip from the uncomfortable bus ride to me getting kicked out the house. Yeah great times.
While I'm deciding on how to get back home to Brooklyn when the whole mid Atlantic to North East coast is in a stand still due to snow I figure I hop on my desktop to tidy up my messy blog. I'm just going to keep my blog very minimal for now because me and templates don't get along. Any way..stay tuned!
