AKA Ridiculousness

People, people, people.... spending thousands of dollars for a wax statue of yourself is not OK.

ESPECIALLY IF YOUR THE PRESIDENT OF AN ORGANIZATION!!

AKA President Brenda Mckinzie allegedly spent $900,000 of her sorority's dough.

Lady... huh?

Read the article here.

If an AKA stumbles upon my blog, don't get offended because whether or not she spent the sorority money or her own... that is still a lame move!

PS- ummmmm I don't know much about Greek life, but it's pretty fucking dope that Maya Angelou, Jada Pinkett, and among others, ROSA PARKS, all pledged to this one sorority.

I like this version better than the official track- heard it in American Apparel (go figure) a couple months back & fell in love.

A little over a month in, & I'm still crying over MJ.

It's gotten out of hand, I know, but what can i say? I'm sensitive.

*sigh*

Summerstage 09

*sigh*

Everyone else was cool, but we all know i was there for who? For Q-Tip.

Initially, I didn't want to go because I knew it'd be a long & hot experience & because I'd already seen him 3 times.

All of this went out the window when dude came out to start off with "Shaka"... too energetic, gets me every time.

Highlights:
MOVE!
SUCKA NIGGA!
ELECTRIC RELAXATION!
His "funky di funk" section after where he told us to close our eyes, put our blackberries down, not send out a text, & vibe with him... right before DJ Scratch threw the towel over his shoulders reminiscent of James Brown!
Bandmember whipping out the fucking saxophone for CHECK THE RHYME!

I mean, I'm happy I went for the 4th time to see one of the most fun performers I've ever witnessed.

Goooooo [Free!] Summerstage!

Michael Jackson- JAM (Live)

*sigh* dude truly stood still for 2 whole minutes before ripping into an intense performance.
i would've passed out & woke up upset at the hospital about only surviving 30 seconds of the concert.
such power.

the plan was to watch MJ & feel good... instead, i watched live performances of "human nature".
fucking great.
this still can't be real, nothing feels better about this situation.

damn

temptation,
don't tempt me.
i have a different agenda-
even though it's tempting.

R.I.P Michael Jackson

"Childhood"
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood
I've never known...

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?

[...]

I haven't spoken on Michael's death because I have yet to find the proper words.
I don't know what to do with myself.
I'll never be the same.
