English 101

There are certain things that we learn in school that we all tend to forget.  I guess the Good Lord put me here to remind you of some things.  Keep in mind I'm not the best writer in the world but dammit, this shit is common sense.

-Please stop saying MINES.  It's mine.  If someone comes up to you and states, "That's mines." Back hand them.

-There is a difference between there, their and they're.  There is to be used when referring to a location.  "It's over there."OR Use there with a verb  Their is used as a reference for a possession.  "Their jackets are on the bed." They're is a contraction of they and are.  "They're going to the movies."

-Conversate is NOT a word.  When I type conversate, the little red line appears under it which indicates it is NOT a BLASTED word!  It's converse.  "We conversed for hours."

-Were is past tense and we're is a contraction of we and are.  They're not the same! (<-- peep the proper usage of they're).  "You were supposed to go to the store." "We're going to the store."  Get it?

-Women means more than one woman.  Woman is singular.  "What's up woman?" (If you say that, then you are referring to ONE woman).  "Where are the women?"  You are referring to 2 or more women.

- Lieing and dieing are not words.  The IE is to be replaced with a Y.  LYing/dYing.  "She's lying."  He's dying."

-Please don't use double negatives.  "I ain't got no money," means, "I have money."  "I ain't never been there," means, "I've been there."  "She' ain't never there," means, "She is there."

-Defiantly and definitely are not the same thing.  Definitely does Not have an "A" in it.

I hope this was helpful :)

Happy Anniversary!



This weekend I celebrated my 1 year anniversary with MY Maria :) You CARE! I know you do. 

Anyway, we started our day off vending at the Brookville Tennis Club Health Fair.  It was AWESOME.  Very informative.  Lot's of very important facts that most women my age do not know about. 

  • I learned that Ovarian Cancer is not detectable.  There is no test for it!  
  • I learned that about 90% of women in my age bracket (28-30) find lumps in their breast.  Does not mean it is Cancerous, could be a fibroid, calcium build up, a benign cyst or lumpy tissue.  Still, if you find a lump, it is best to get it checked out right away.  
  • I learned that you MUST get a paps test every year until about 75-80 years old!
  • This was the most interesting...  I learned that there has been an increase in STD's with senior citizens.  Men ranging 60-70 are having sex with prostitutes and contracting STD's.  This is why a Paps is suggested for women until 75-80 years old. I can't believe that anyone would be having sex at that age but.. yea.  
  • I learned that once your child becomes sexually active they are to have their first paps.  Either the age of sexual activity OR 21.
All in all, it was a very informative event.  After the anniversary we went to dinner and spent some time with my mother.  Perfect day to celebrate a perfect year with the Love of my Life :)



ANTM Alumni a meth addict?


Most of us would run home every Wednesday to catch America's Next Top Model.  I know I did.  I don't remember what cycle Jael was in, but I remember always feeling that she had substance abuse problems.  She spoke very slowly and seemed a bit off.  I believe her cycle was the one where 50 cent pushed her into the swimming pool because she kept bothering him. 

Fast forward 6 years and Jael makes her next television debut on Dr. Phil.  This was not an episode where they catch up with the former model and find out what she's doing now.  Or maybe it was.  The episode was to implore Jael to seek medical treatment for her 6 year addiction to Crystal Meth.  Jael was visibly embarrassed, attempted to run from the cameras most of the show and scared of what can happen to her if she decided to seek treatment.  Eventually Dr. Phil was able to get her to agree to go to rehab. 

My prayers go out to her and her family.  Addiction is serious.  I hope she recovers fully.  SHAME on Tyra Banks for not offering some type of assistance to this young woman.  I think eventually she will come to her aide... for publicity.

Get into Tanny's Couture!





There has been an influx of entrepreneurs lately.  People has learned the formula to running a successful small business.  Social Media has made it easy to create your fan base, network your product, and make sales in a matter of seconds!  If you have an instagram account, its not hard to come across users who use their account solely to post pictures of their items to entice others.  That's how I came across "Tanny's Couture."

Democratic National Convention speeches...

In case you missed it:

Here are the speeches from the DNC!

DNC VS. VMAS




The Democratic National Convention took place for 3 days last week.  On the first night we had the joy of listening to Michelle Obama's speech.  To me, it was beyond outstanding.  On the second night we got to listen to Bill Clinton, among others.  On the third night, we got to listen to several celebs along with Mr. Obama himself.

Coincidentally, the night of Obama's speech was Fashion Night Out, and the VMA's.  As you would have it, it became a huge conspiracy as to why the VMA's was being aired the same night as the President's speech.  Was it a bit shady?  Yes it was.  On all social network sites people began to post about this being the first black host since 1999 and the awards being held every Sunday for years and now all of a sudden on a Thursday.  Then the campaigning began.  Everyone jumped on the, "if you're watching the VMA's instead of the President speak then you're a loser" bandwagon.  I call this a bandwagon because these post were EVERYWHERE!  SMH

I commented on a few post but once I saw how anger people were about people watching what the hell they wanted on TV, I decided that maybe it was time for me to put the social media away and concentrate on doing WTF I wanted to do.  SOOOO... I continued to watch the VMA's!

I personally feel that people should have watched whatever they wanted to watch!  Don't make ANYONE feel bad for their choice in watching an awards show.  The people who attended Fashion Night Out didn't get any backlash and I am pretty sure they still support Obama.  I don't need Obama to persuade my vote.  He already has my vote!  Regardless of his speech, I am going to vote for him.  I am already aware of  the issues he wants to address.  I have researched ObamaCare.  I have researched his plans on taxes and student loans.  If I want to watch somebody's RASS CLAT awards show then I CAN!  Doesn't mean I do not support him!  And Dammit, might I add that we live in an age where there is DVR and YouTube.  I watch what I want, when I want... IN THAT ORDER!

One more thing... Where were the bandwagoners when people were watching the Giants game instead of the DNC last Wednesday?  Please, I implore you to have SEVERAL TOILET SEATS!

In Rihanna news...

Rihanna got a new tattoo!!!!  I already see the flood of easily influenced young adults AND grown women getting this tattoo because she did.  There will be an influx of under tittie tatts within the next few weeks.  The tattoo is actually very pretty.  It is meaningful to her since she just lost her grandmother.
