Before Danity Kane...

...... I used to be OBESSED with Dream's "He Loves You Not".

Reminisce with me, yes?

Nothin' like ridiculously electronical* pop beats and sugar sweet lyrics.

Ramblings, ramblings... and ramblings 3

People.

PEOPLE.

PEOPLE CHANGE.

PEOPLE ARE DECEIVING.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMEONE?

YOU THINK YOU KNOW PEOPLE?

LISTEN.

YOU NEVER KNOW SOMEONE UNTIL SHIT HITS THE FAN.

Everyone has to do for themselves, and that's a good AND bad thing.

You MUST do for you because no one can do it better- BUT! It's when you fucking expect your FRIENDS to stick by your side... they do for themselves instead.

You put people on a pedestal.

YOU PUT PEOPLE ON A PEDESTAL SO FUCKING HIGH- wow, YOU can't even meet them up there.

Pedestals can be SO damaging.

You think you know people? I'm telling you, you know who's really down to ride when the trouble starts.

And I say fuck the people who leave you hanging... because maybe they were never your friends from the get.

Maybe it just got too hard for them to deal with the issue. I don't know.

I'm just borderline sick to my stomach with certain people.

PEOPLE CHANGE.

PEOPLE'S PRIORITIES CHANGE.

People's priorities CHANGE.

You just don't know people.

My, how people change.

PS- bitter much?

RW Hollywood

Greg, you're the devil.

Will is going home next week?

Great, now there's no reason to watch.

But if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me and it's because Will punches Greg- then whoop de woot!

Happy Birthday to ME

even though i'm still celebrating... I'm 20! and my birthday was cool!

i spent the majority of the day alone... in bed, just chillin =)

afterward, i went to Di Palma Bros' with Mami, Gueli, Tio, and Alicia.

omg, the bruschetta (sp?) is ODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

everything else, like my chicken parm, was amazing also =)

leftovers for daaaaays, g.

afterward, i came home for a little and we all cut a cake.

actually, a really CUTE cake:

and mami and me, of course:


well!

i almost fell asleep waiting for these people to get out of work, so i took my ass on over to the village.

for what, you ask!?!?



*tough sigh*

the process of gettin this joint was ridiculous. they said it took 15 minutes and it felt like half hour, real talk. but i'm happy i did it, aw. i'll most likely add onto it later on.

um, my birthday isn't over.

I SEE YOU KRYSTELL!!!!

Thank You And You're Welcome

*sigh*

we all know i strongly dislike kanye west's character.

HOWEVER, my husband (ramoo, for the lost and confused) went to the AMAZING concert last tuesday and brought me back a copy of his THANK YOU AND YOU'RE WELCOME book.

It's a bunch of short narratives and sayings that Kanye lives by and wanted to share with the masses.

I won't lie, it's pretty cool.

Actually... I'm in love with pg. 10, which reads:


Would you rather have 100% from an average person

or

10% from someone who is outstanding?


Guys... Please let that shit marinate.

I read it and BAM- it totally reminds me of someone I know. I don't know if "outstanding" is the right word, but this person is DEFINITELY not average. So I guess it's... cool? To appreciate the little this person shares- you know?

idk

Photography Blog: INTRUSIVE

Well then!

One more final to go, must be done with the paper tonight. *SIGH*

Things are KIND OF looking up, I'm trying to stay positive- even though this was the dumbest semester ever.

I REFUSE to have a repeat next semester.

Mufuckas ain't gon really see me, I know my GPA dropped a tiny bit and I need to fix that, and if ANYTHING, bring it higher than it was BEFORE this semester started.

I'll have my own room and I'll be OD focused. I'm looking forward to it. =)

With that said, before I go back to my paper, I ask that you all check out my photography blog (if you haven't already)!

It was required for class, but I love it and yeah- that's it!

Intrusive it is!

Final Verdict:

I strongly dislike Mariah Carey.

I'll cherish the times we shared.

The joy she brought into my life.

I'll reminisce every now and then...

But I've decided that it's best to move on.

She was once "My All"

I was on her side when she had her "Breakdown"

I accepted her "Subtle Invitation" every. single. time.

Even when she had me running around in "Circles"

She helped me "Make it Happen"!

*sigh*

I thought she would "Always Be My Baby"...

But I guess that was "Long Ago"

Mariah.... WHO ARE YOU?!

* "Crybaby" plays in the back *

=(

THIS Is How He Felt.

Do We Like This 'Do????

Touchin' His Body, Forreal?

it's crazy how... the picture is here in my FACE and I STILL can't wrap my mind around what it's trying to tell me.

notice how i haven't spoken about this wedding until now.

SURE- it isn't my business... this i know!

but still! IT'S NOT PROCESSING IN MY HEAD that 13 year old Nick Cannon is walking around with this BEAST OF A WOMAN on his arm introducing her as his WIFE.

Selita Ebanks must be like OD confused... and possibly laughing her head off.

Why Nick Cannon so irsty to jump over the broom, anyways?

*Mariah Voice in 'Touch My Body* oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah...

=)

Latino/a Literature & Culture Project

SO!

Here is a video collage I did as my final project for my Latino/a Literature & Culture course.

It's about Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez, my grandfather and the racial pride he sang about in several of his songs.

It's a super duper basic video, but it means a great deal to me....

Enjoy:



If you don't speak spanish... i'm terribly sorry.
