WABB called back....gotta check my damn re-hire pay with SBUX and....

just chillin.

my body is in SOOOO much pain right now!!!
---but i get FREE coffee.

S C O R E !

Tengo trabajo--

Translated, it means I NEED TO WORK.

Being off some days is needed, but for 2 1/2 weeks?! Ah, that's a definate negative. In a desperate move for dough, I am back on my coffee grind, but it will only be for a LIMITED TIME, nothing long term....I do miss my Starbucks tho....

Me at my old sbux locale. Wow, my hair HAS grown--

Free weekly coffee/tea = my crack/cocaine to get me thru.

Free lattes= heaven!!
(still mad about them discontinuing Organic milk, hmph!)

Miller is fuckin up--big time!
Ol girl (my "boss" Rhonalie), is flunkin on me...she ain't scheduling me for shiiit!
$25/hr is what they pay and she being stingy. I have expressed my availibility THREE times, and she has yet to schedule me for anything! One nite, and my pockets will smile. Bitch, put me on the schedule lol...

Me at Miller last summer, i decided to return. $$$ talkin nice, but they slackin now--

ON ANOTER TIP--
Waffle House? Can I work there? I pretty much recieved an offer from the coveted breakfast haven to be the store mgr, makin sum serious cake...but is that me? my bf says naw....but i would do it...for the pocket full of green (as santogold said :). I would pretty much be the head cook, so I'd be serving sum pretty mean omelettes n shiiit. The only downside is that I am unsure what the pay truly is....its between 35-40k but with all the bonuses, it is possible (i think) to make 45k...

But Enterprise called me back today. I got an interview two fridays away! they talking $31k so imma lissen! lol. I just don't wanna get stuck not using this degree that i worked very hard for.


Money ain't important to me. It doesn't motivate me. But it is a neccessary tool that people need to get the things they both desire and need.

urrrmmm---that's it.

Let me go back to my poker game =]

Kelis on...Hoes & Housewives--

On a lazy Sunday I was flipping through the channels and stopped on Discovery. I was watching what I thought was a show about some cattle herder in Africa. He was talking to his family, friends and elders about being short something like seventy cows. I kept thinking, “wow this is intense. This guy needs more cows.” Then a baby-faced beauty came into frame and it was all clear. The young man was short on cows for his dowry to marry this woman. Her parents and elders wanted to make sure he would care and provide for her, so the young man was doing whatever it took. I guess he doesn’t listen to “Gold Digger” on the radio. I started to think about other cultures like India and the caste system. 

A man’s social status and finances are scrutinized when being considered for an arranged marriage. In European history, matrimoney combined wealth and land, made heirs, and started and stopped wars. For centuries, people around the world have married for power, wealth, and convenience. It was a transaction of resources, in many instances love came after.

An author named Leslie Bennetts wrote a book titled The Feminine Mistake about educated career women giving up their “lives” to raise families and keep households. I think the phenomenon is interesting. If we expect financial security from our husbands, is it then acceptable for wives to lose our selves in marriage and family? Can a woman actually have it all, or is that fighting against a predestined natural imperative? I hear women, real working women, who are smart and great say there are no good men left. In many instances decent, successful men have made their beds and now have to lie in them, (usually with some hoe). Successful women, who aren’t necessarily willing to be strictly a hoe or a housewife, are being lost in the shuffle, while (admittedly quite skilled) strippers are clapping their asses for ballers or posers who make it rain with a few singles.

Listen, power to the hoe. She can have them for all I care. They aren’t our concern. But pushing all skanks and groupies aside, can a real man tell the difference between a hoe and a good woman? Does he know what to look for? Does he even care to see a difference? And conversely, is it reasonable for a woman to only want a man who’s got his cows together? I mean, it is dictated by history that she has the right to expect that from her man. I’m as forward thinking a modern female as it gets. I’ve asked a bunch of questions, so here’s my take—leave the gold digging for the chickens and birds. Expect more than money ladies. A man and woman should be partners. In business, partners play different roles equally important to the success of that business. Life and marriage are no different. So for all the jaded negroes Kanye spoke for, I suggest you make a T-shirt ladies. Maybe the slogan could read something like: 

“Dig this: I Got Your Gold Right Here!”

You 'Gettin Up'?

From FADER.COM:

Video: Q-Tip, "Gettin Up"
When Q-Tip came through the office several months ago to play us his already completed album The Renaissance, we left thinking it sounded like Amplified, only someone (Q-Tip) had learned how to transform the latter's monotone synth forays into the former's bonafide cosmic pop. Some of us were pretty excited about it. "Gettin Up" was not one of the songs he played and doesn't really fit into what we heard, but has been good for stirring up some yogurt and granola in the mornings. Just saying, don't get all mad when the rest of the record doesn't sound like yoga pants.

Ohmygod!

South Central LA was way better [than South London]. Instead of XR2s you had lowriders, and instead of machetes you had guns, and instead of E you had crack, bud and crystal meth!
