I get it from my mama...or grandma

Why do some people want to have children? Now, not "want" children in the manner you accidentally got knocked up so you're having this kid; but WANT as in this was planned!! Do you feel you have too much time and money to spend on yourself, so you spend it on a child? Do you want someone to love you beside your now deceased goldfish (RIP Walter)? Seriously, why do some people want kids??? I know why I want to have kids: I just want to see a person running around that looks at acts like me. If I have to feed them, so be it, but I really just want to see another part of me. So, I'm talking to my mom and aparently I do things like my grandmother and I don't even realize it. For example, everyone in my family knows not to tell Bigmama ( my grandma) when they ate something good because she thinks (and its possibly true) that she is the worlds greatest cook and whatever you had, she can make it better!! Now, that doesn't sound like a prob, but it can get annoying. "Oh, you had a blackberry cobbler? Bring me some blackberries and I'll make you one". It's kinda, like, Bigmama, just leave it alone. But the other day I decided to do some cooking. It was good and I was getting compliments across the board. So of course I started feeling myself. So I kept walking around asking, "Hey, do you think I can make this better than such and such". After hours of doing that, my mom was like, "you're just like your grandmother". Damnit! She was right! LOL! So, I've compiled a list of all my personalities and trates that I think I get from certain members of my family.

My cooking abilities-both grandmama's

The reserved way I carry myself-Mother

My "skies the limit, sometimes naïve, optimistic view"-Father

Road rage-Father

Frugal with my money-Bigmama (grandma on mothers side)

Maintaining GREAT credit-Mother

Timely and usually early (Annoyed to the point of anger from being late) -Father

Sarcastic humor-Father

My "eff what they're doing, I walk to the beat of my own drum"-Father & grandmother (on mothers side)

My arrogance (or very sure of myself when i'm good at something)-Father, Bigmama

My conspiracy theory train of thoughts and always questioning the "man"-Father

I'll give you my last-Father

Make you very aware when you piss me off-Father

Hard on the outside, but a sensitve person on the inside-Father

Creativeness-Father

Most likely to cut my husband if he ever does me wrong-Muff (grandma on fathers side)

Rarely judging because I always see both sides of the story-Father

Wow! Didn't realize how much of my dad I was like! Until I did this, now I see why my mom always says, "you're crazy, just like your dad!" LOL! This was rather fun. I think you should too do the same or at least think about your traits and where they come from. It's the closest thing to ancestry.com without the fees.

Who do you get your traits from???

Just watch it!

OMG! Watch the whole, whole thing. The ending is freaking awesome!!

Getcha Some

"Athiest turn Christian when I rock my True Religions" are just a few bars or one liners from Big Sean. I told you about this kid a couple of months ago. Again, I think he has very much potential to be one of the better lyricist in the rap game. I wasn't too fond of this single, but I guess it is the most radio/106 & Park friendly song on his mix tape. The video is cool, but dude is waving his hands way too much. It's for the special effects, but still, too much. Anywho, look out for Kanye making his co-sign cameo in the video.

**If you want to hear more from Big Sean, you can download his two mix tapes from his website.

Double Standards

It amazes me how when things don’t go our way, we’re quick to say “Life’s not fair”, when in reality, it’s rather fair. For example, a college graduate getting drafted in the NBA for $30 million for 2 years injuring his knee and never making the first game would say "life is not fair". Actually, it is. Crap happens in life. That’s very fair. That’s in the rules of life to happen. God allowed that to happen. I believe the phrase “life’s not fair” is applicable, but not limited to double standards. Double standards are NOT fair. They can be changed, but the chances of that happening is unlikely. Here are a few life double standards that truly makes life, “unfair”.

The first double standard is the one most of us learned when we were kids: Boys don’t hit girls. Now of course no one should be hitting anyone (whether it’s girl hits girl, boy hits boy or girl hits boy). Violence is not what’s hot in the streets. Yet, when a girl hits a boy she is told to stop. When a boy hits a girl, he is told to stop and that boys shouldn’t hit girls. It sucks, I know. This boy is now learning that if a girl hits him, he shouldn’t do anything. Now, I know some ladies will say, it doesn’t hurt men when you hit them. True, it may not hurt, but the shit gets old! For example, mothers. There is nothing physically painful about your child constantly yelling, “Mom! Mom! Mama! Mama! Mother! Mother!” But after a while you get annoyed and you probably yell at the kid to stop. I picture this being the same for a man that’s constantly getting slapped in the face. (and for the record, their face may start to sting) But what is a man to do? If you see a woman and a man arguing outside and the woman is constantly pushing him, verbally abusing him and slapping his chest, you’ll stare for a few seconds and think “Damn, she tearing his ass a new one” or “ Damn, that bitch is crazy” but either way all you do is watch. Let a man slightly push a woman and some other girl is calling the cops while that one guy runs over to say, “Say, dog! You can’t be hitting on no female”. Now this man is on his way to jail for something that “crazy bitch” may have provoked. I am not at all saying men should be allowed to hit women, but I think when it comes to violence, the consequences should be equal. But it’s not, because when talking about double standards, life's not fair.

This next double standard is something I’m very familiar with: racial jokes. I hate to say this and no I don’t think it’s right, but white people can not make fun of black people. I’m not sure why this double standard is, but I’m sure it has something to do with that whole slavery, racist civil rights thingy. If you’ve been to even one comedy show or seen one on tv with mostly black comedians and a black audience, for some reason there is always that one white couple who wants to sit up front. I don’t know why they do this, but they do. I think you already know where I’m going with this one. There is a 90% chance a black comedian will get on stage and use every stereotype they can find about this white couple. They will say the mans name is “Brad” and make fun of his dancing, speech, walk and sex life all in 2 mins. Then they will call out “Becky”, give her a valley girl accent and swear up and down that she wants a big black d…man in her life! All while this is going on the crowd his laughing to tears at these petty cheap jokes, while the couple just sits there red and uncomfortable. But lets flip it. Lets say a white man calls out a black couple. How they’re names must be Tyrone and LaNeisha, they love fried chicken and Tyrone pants wont stay up. While these statement could possibly be true, Al Sharpton and Ricky Smile are now leading a protest outside the comedy club and calling this man out on Fox 4 News. Now, it’s not impossible for whites to talk about blacks. IF you watch Family Guy, you know that they gets their two cents in. But it’s a “cult” rapport that has been built over time. If a white comedian has been accepted and embraced by the black community (and by embraced I mean, this white person has been declared “black” by another African American. Like what Bill Clinton was to blacks before Barack) he too can MAYBE get away with the racial comments. But overall, white people just shouldn’t do it. Especially in public. I know it sucks because black can and will say whatever they want. But whites must be careful of what you say if you want to keep Al Sharpton out of this. Life’s not fair, eh?

The last double standard is one that has personally been bothering me for a while: Fat Bitches. Now, already you’re thinking I’m being mean, but why? Over weight women are constantly calling women smaller than them, “skinny bitches”. It’s funny. It’s cute. We laugh. I get it! But why cant a thin woman make fat women jokes? Is it because since big women really do want to be thin, it’s ok because it’s more flattering than mean? Bull shit! So what some woman is thinner than you, that doesn’t mean she wants you calling her a a skinny bitch and cracking jokes. Now don't get me wrong, if a woman is over weight that means nothing! I have seen some gorgeous plus size women. I mean, if you're gonna be BIG, be beautiful. But honestly being big can no way possibly be what that is! There is nothing cute about being unhealthy and out of breath all the time! But regardless, we all know that women are EXTREMELY insecure. While you may see this woman as a “skinny bitch”, that bitch may feel uncomfortable because she was born with a flat chest. Now, to be honest I don’t consider myself to be skinny nor fat but this issue arose when I was doing stand up comedy. I had this idea for a wonderful joke about fat women, but when I thought about my audience, I would have gotten jumped on my way to the car if I told this joke. Now, I wouldn’t dare tell the joke to be mean or make a mockery of plus size women, but damn it, a good joke is a good joke! But we all know women of certain sizes cant make fun a plus size women(Maybe I should start back doing stand up and be the pioneer of skinny bitches taking their life back…nah! I’m not skinny and I would get my ass beat)! It’s all good though. IT’s a double standard….Life’s just not fair.

I'm Fat!

Ok. So this is a combo of "throwback Thursday" and "Funny Fridays"! Me and my brother used to LOVE this video when we were kids! Even now as an adult when I watch it, it's STILL funny! And for you judgemental critics, this was NOT negative stab at Michael. Al actually called the king himself and MJ thought it would be a great idea! So now you enjoy as MJ did! Dueces!

Drake: Best I ever had (revised)

"Shout out to Kanye for directing this awesome video!"

That was all I had to say about this video when I originally posted it, but I was wrong and was politely checked by one of my readers. Now, before I tell you how I REALLY feel about the video let me first explain why I labeled it "awesome" in the first place: The truth is, I just saw a new video by a hot new artist that was directed by my favorite artist so of course I assumed it would be nothing less than superb. I did NOT watch the video in its entirety before posting and calling it "awesome". For this, I do apologize. I have a good hand full of you loyal readers and the last thing I want to do is loose my credibility. I was wrong. Now, from what I understand, Drake and Kanye were in the studio working on a song and Kanye starts throwing out ideas for a video for this song and Drizzy just loved the idea. Now, I'm sure on paper it sounds like a great idea, but Ye just wasn't able to execute. I could definitely see where he was trying to go with the video, but he just took the wrong car to the red carpet. His intentions were good, but Drake should have went with a pro. Personally I think the video would have been good if it were simple and just sounded like the song. You know, him basically just spitting game to his dame, hitting the mall or chilling at the crib playing Guitar Hero. The video isn't just HORRIBLE, but it looks like something I could have done...with my little ass camera and my basic editing system. So if I were to rate this video on a scale of one to four, it's gets a fair 2. I still think Kanye is one of the more creative artist out there, but he just needs to step his directing game up and not try new things with new promising artist. But I'm not judging...much.
