LADY GAGA @ Radio City Music Hall

Slowly but surely I’m turning into a Lady Gaga fan and its scaring me. Gaga is disturbingly sexy, magical and very talented. Her "Monster Ball" tour is a success and over the weekend she put on a few amazing sold out shows at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. I wish I was there rocking on with other fans including Big Stars such Sting, Donald Trump, Barbara Walters and Keri Hilson! Pics below are from January 20th show

LOOK WHO'S SHOPPING:THOSE YELLOW BAGS ARE HERE FOREVER!!

Yes I'm talking about everyone's ok well almost everyone's favorite "I need a cute affordable outfit for a party ASAP" store. Don't act like you dont know I'm talking about FOREVER 21...yes I bet there is a yellow shopping bag in your closet. Its cool there is really no rule that says only 21 year olds can shop there. Although I think the Fashion Congress may soon pass a bill for damn near 30 year old  women to stop dressing like they are sophomores in high school.  Trust me I'm not bashing the store I stop in there once in a while not for the clothes but for their awesome accessories. Honestly I haven't bought an out from there in about 3 years even though they now have a plus size line FAITH 21.While their clothes are cute and trendy the quality wont last long and chances are when you are at party you might bump into your twin sister...womp womp!

Good news for parents shopping on a budget... come January 29th the company is launching their kids line HTG81 for boys and girls ages 6-14. You know Old navy aint what it use to be and Gap can be pricey. I guess the Yellow Bags will be here Forever!

Stress will make you crazy... So Relax

 Day to day we worry so much about life, love, money, family, diets, car issues, past due amounts, daycare, ex boyfriends, ex girlfriends, sexual frustration, marriage ,health, education,achieving, failing and depending on the type of person you are this list could get longer with the many things you stress about. Stop for a minute and stop thinking ....inhale now exhale..... REPEAT 3x!! Do it right now this very second who cares if anyone is watching just do it. Feel Better?  True I'm nooooo psychologist and true I don't  think anyone knows someone who is completely stress free but there are ways to reduce it.

Believe it or not the last time I was stress was last summer. Soooo many things in my life were happening and I was really scared because I felt I had no control over what was going on. I tried my best to keep myself together and remain as  normal as possible but few of my friends knew something wasn't right. To me I felt like it didn't matter anyway because what could they possibly do to fix the situation???? I mean some gave me some encouraging words and advised everything would be alright but still my mind was racing with a gagillion thoughts per minute, I was loosing some serious sleep, my hair fell out a little bit and my appetite varied. I didn't like how I was feeling and I knew something had to be done but what could help me???

YOGA!! Yes Yoga!

My aunt was going to yoga sometimes 3x a week and she often told me how much she felt better both physically and mentally after each session. So I looked up a yoga studio in my area and surprisingly I found one who had a free meditation yoga session and it stated"Meditation is at the core of all stress reducing techniques. We will concentrate on the foundations of mediation: focused breathing, relaxed awareness, and an open heart. No experience necessary - everyone welcome". Honestly I did yoga maybe once or twice years ago and still I didn't really know what to expect. OH MY GOD The class was amazing between the breathing the stretching, the chanting and the humming I walked out of there feeling like I had a brand new mind. I did the class a few more times and after a while the "situation" didn't seem so stressful anymore.  Who knows it may work for you too!!

Kanye West Banned from Hope for Haiti Telethon?

Aid from all over the world has been pouring into to Haiti to help the victims of the devastating 7.0 Earthquake that took place last week Tuesday but it seems that it’s not enough. There are still millions of people homeless and suffering needing medical attention and water. Actor George Clooney and MTV networks are putting together a 2 hour telethon” HOPE for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief” which airs tonight at 8pm on several stations and is being broadcast from New York, Los Angeles, London and Haiti. Every celebrity and their mama is on the line up from Oprah, Brad Pitt, Bono , Jay-z, Rihanna ,Beyonce Sheryl Crow ,Sting Coldplay, Taylor Swift and many many more EXCEPT Kanye West the media whore!! Word is that he is Banned from event but MTV denied it. Who knows?



Honestly is anybody surprised?? We remember few months back embarrassing young singer Taylor Swift on the MTV VMAs after she won her first award. It wasn’t cool but I think he boosted her career *kanye shrug*. IM JUST SAYIN before that I didn’t know who she was and now you can catch me singing “You Belong with Me”.

That wasn’t the first time he did some crazy shit I knooow you didn’t forget when he went off script during the Hurricane Katrina Benefit “George Bush doesn’t care about Black People” umm and even if the statement was true ( it is) networks are probably scared he will do or say something offensive again.

Kanye West: I'maa let you finish, George, I'mma let you finish, but Hurricane Katrina was the most devastating disaster of all time! LOL Or he might start talking about the military created the Earthquake and start talking about Haarp. SMH Popeater.com reports that a source said "Kayne has to make everything about himself, He will do anything to steal the spotlight and, well, this night it's just not about him."


I wondered if Kanye still donated? Hopefully he did and I doubt he’s mad because he’s still in Paris BooLUVIN with Amber Rose.

Still continue to donate in anyway you can. Um while Wyclef’s organization Yele financial situations is being questioned I donated $10 to Red Cross by texting “Haiti” to “90999” who already made history by raising $25 million dollars. Visit their website and learn how the donations are being handled to help the people of Haiti. http://www.redcross.org/

Listen To Corrine Bailey Rae's Entire Album The Sea

Her Album won't be released in the US until February 1, 2010 but here's your chance to catch this soulful British songbird sing her heart out.You probably remember Corrine a few years back with her songs " Like a Star" and "Trouble Sleeping" topping the charts. Just as she was enjoying her success she was faced with the tragedy of losing her husband Jason Rae. Im sure some of the new songs will liberate some of her heartaches. Through a recent interview with The Telegraph an UK Newspaper she states

''I want to express how I'm feeling but also it's something to do. It's going to take up so much of my time - and I want my time to be taken up.''

Any Good Reads? Book Worms Where U at?

Sometimes I go through periods where I read excessively and right now I’m in the mood for a real good book. I’m thinking about heading to Barnes & Noble this week. Hmm maybe get cozy on their big sofa chair, browse through some new bestsellers all while I enjoy an Asiago-spinach stuffed pretzel from the in store Starbucks. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT OMG and make sure they toast it for you! My favorite type of books are primarily Self Help because I’M FOREVER trying to become a more motivated and positive person regardless of what life throws at me. My all time favorite is Notes to Myself: My Struggle to Become a Person by Hugh Prather. I forget how I came across this book but I know I was in my late teens. This book has had such a major impact on my life it made me realize to become a better person doesn’t mean I have to be perfect but rather embracing who I am. I highly recommended it!



From the Publisher


Reading Notes To Myself is one of those rare experiences that comes only once in a great while. The editor who discovered the book said, "When I first read Prather's manuscript it was late at night and I was tired, but by the time I finished it, I felt rested and alive. Since then I've reread it many times and it says even more to me now." The book serves as a beginning for the reader's exploration of his or her own life and as a treasury of thoughtful and insightful reminders.


Memorable Quotes:


My trouble is I analyze life instead of living it.


“You're wrong" means "I don't understand you"-I'm not seeing what you're seeing. But there is nothing wrong with you, you are simply not me and that's not wrong


Perfection is slow death. If everything were to turn out just like I would want it to, just like I would plan for it to, then I would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. When I make a mistake I experience something unexpected.


As I look back on my life, one of the most constant and powerful things I have experienced within myself is the desire to be more than I am at the moment-an unwillingness to let myself remain where I am-a desire to do more, learn more, express more-a desire to grow, improve, accomplish, expand. I used to interpret this inner push as meaning that there was some one thing out there I wanted to do or be or have. And I have spent too much of my life trying to find it. But now I know that this energy within me is seeking more than the mate or the profession or the religion, more even than pleasure or power or meaning. It is seeking out more of me; or better, it is, thank God, flushing out more of me.


When I have listened to my mistakes I have grown.

Just In Case You Forgot His Dream- Happy MLK Day

'I have a dream' speech

Address at March on Washington, Aug. 28, 1963

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.

But 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.



I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Remembering Haiti

When I first heard about the earthquake I immediately called my best friend and when she answered the phone I could hear the sadness and confusion in here voice. Like many who updated their Twitter and Facebook status she too could not get through to her family in Haiti. The only thing we could do at that moment was pray.

While the news informs us of how devastating the earthquake is with horrific images and constant reminders of how poor the nation of Haiti is... I just want to take time out to focus on how rich the culture is. Also I'm very happy to see everyone from me and you to celebs to Corporate America reaching out to help.T mobile offering free calls to Haiti is amazing. Please continue to assist in anyway you can.

Over the years I've picked up a few Creole words and phrases, jammed at a few Sweet Mickey and Tvice concerts, and ate some good Haitian food. a friend of mine always wanted me to come to Haiti to see the beautiful beaches hopefully one day in the future I can still go.

 

 

 

 

YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO MY WEDDING!!!

So I’m on the phone with a very close friend of mine and suddenly the topic of marriage comes up and I say “ I Don’t even want a wedding I would want to ELOPE” He’s says “YOU ARE LYYYYIIIING EVERY GIRL WANTS A WEDDING ” It was a very interesting conversation especially from a guy’s perspective. He basically says women are all brain washed into wanting to get married to put on a “show” and even if the girl didn’t want a wedding he wouldn’t feel comfortable with that because that’s what everyone wants. What About What I Want??? What If I truly Want to Elope?


Don’t get me wrong I'm not against marriage but I just never put too much energy into thinking about the “big day” It sounds weird coming from a girl who could spend the whole Sunday watching Platinum weddings, Rich Bride poor Bride and Bridezilla but for some reason doesn’t want a big wedding of her own. Instead I would want for the groom and I to flee to some remote island and get married on the beach.


Simply Not wanting to worry about who wanted chicken or beef and which vegetarian is going to starve because I forgot to order a vegan dish. Not wanting to worry about who RSVPd, Not wanting to worry about people catching feelings because they were not invited. Not wanting to worry if I paid the photographer, videographer the makeup artist. Not wanting to worry if will lose the deposit on the hall for reception. Not wanting to worry about my dress being fitted. Not wanting to worry about if the bridesmaids like the dress or not, Not wanting to worry about if my mom is gonna make a scene if my dad shows up with his new girlfriend, not wanting to worry about the seating arrangements. Not wanting to worry about NOTHING JUST ME AND HIM BEING HAPPY!!!


My first wedding I ever attended was my parents I was 4 and the flower girl and it was the most beautiful wedding ever 20 something years later their fairytale wedding is still fresh in my mind from the dancing to the ice blue bridesmaids dresses to the wedding singers flowers the cake and swan ice sculptures. This was suppose to be the happiest day of my mother’s life and then to see her one day sitting in the middle of the floor crying and cutting up 1000s of wedding pictures it just an image I can’t remove from my head. I must admit that my parent's marriage may be one of the reasons I never dreamt of being a beautiful blushing bride. Its shouldn’t be but it is and to me and as much as I’m the only girl and my dad would throw me the ultimate Glamour Girl Wedding and probably fly everyone out to our summer house in Jamaica I just don’t want that. I DON’T…. All that stuff to me is just extra and means nothing.


To Be Continued…..

UMM He's Just Not That Into You...

So I woke up early Saturday morning and on my television was the opening scene to “He’s Just Not That Into You” …my first thoughts were “Jesus Christ again??” Like seriously HBO plays this movie 3x a day like its suppose to be a part of my balanced diet. I didn’t switch the channel I left it on and watched as I checked some emails made some breakfast and sorted my laundry. It’s a pretty good movie red box it if you haven’t seen it. It’s better than your normal chick flick because it exposes some of the things we as women do when we first meet a guy UMM OVER ANALYZE! Like if you are on a date with a guy and it goes well and he says something like “we should hang out again ” your brain may registers it as he wants to spend the rest of his life with you and get married and now you’re already at Davids Bridal getting a head start WHY???? I can admit I’m guilty of it sometimes…always looking for the “signs” but completely oblivious to most important ones.  Anyways I don’t care what anybody says the character Gigi was a little bit on the stalky side ….*just sayin*




Here’s a couple signs that shows hes not into you


1. You call, chrip, text bbm, facebook, tweet him and he may hit you back with a “wassup????” text 24 hrs later


2. Ok of course a guy may glance at an occasional booty but if he looking like he wanna go get the number while he with you ummmm


3. If he only wanna chill with you 11pm-3amish


4. If he talks to you about other women he’s interested in or tells you he’s still dealing with other women


5. If he sees you and gives you a half hug in public, but the night before you were cuddling together


6. You want you and him to go see the new movie coming out on Friday but instead he shows up at your crib with the bootleg copy :/


7. He is super “busy” and has no time Listen its 24 hours in a day 60 minutes in 1 hour lets do some math 1440 minutes in a day and he cant spare 2 minutes Who the f*ck is that busy CMON SON!!


8. He doesn’t care that one of his boy tried to holla at you


9. If you do go out it’s the restaurant in South West BumbleNut


10. You don’t know his address

SADE SOLDIER OF LOVE OFFICAL VIDEO

Staring at My Suitcase hmmm

Miami is calling my name....For some reason I'm currently addicted to this place...

HEART VS MIND ROUND ONE!!

Even when your able to decipher that you belong with someone better your heart always have a way of blocking out the facts with a thing called "Love". When your mind is telling you one thing and your heart is telling you another...who do you listen to?

FLASHBACK

I finish putting my signature on the receipt and the cashier hands me my bag and as I exit…WHO DO I SEE? I knooow I swear my life is like a never ending Chick Flick. I mean my brain was about to explode because I just spent the last 30 minutes of quality shopping time discussing “HIM” with the BFF and then like magic he appears out of no where.


Mind to Dionne: Smile say hi and keep it moving.

Heart to Dionne: awww run over to him and give him a hug and kiss and act like you are excited to see him!!


Dionne: Hey whats up long time no see


Mind to Dionne: Umm keep it short and sweet and GO GO GOOOOOOO


HIM: blah blah blah….He's talking to me but my mind is registering everything under bullshit even if it's not


Heart to Dionne: girl start up an interesting conversation that will keep him engaged in your thoughts. You have nothing to worry about you look good hair looks cute and your outfit is straight.




Our Mutual Friend to Dionne: Where you about to go now??


Mind to Dionne: GIRL make up something…You gotta go…you got other plans


Dionne: Yeah I'm heading home I gotta go change and get ready.


Heart to Dionne: Aww you guys should hang out …it will be fun and you know you want to!!!


As we both walk out into the parking lot we exchange a few words and go our separate ways.


Mind to Dionne: Get in the truck and go and don't even look back….Girl HE’S A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!!


Heart to Dionne: You mean ass b*tch…was the cold shoulder really necessary??




Dionne: WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!!?

10 Tips You’re Dating An Asshole!

Haha someone once told me "Women who love assholes are assholes themselves. That’s the truth, there is no other explanation" Hmmm??  There are sooo many theories on why women are drawn to assholes but to be honest I think the main one is that CONFIDENCE...something about a guy that know he got his sh*t together Umm Just saying....

10 Tips You’re Dating An Asshole!
i came across this list and just had to share it

1.) “Please”, “Thank you”, ” Can you please…?” and “I’m sorry” are a rarity…


2.) “It’s not my problem”, ” It’s your fault”… “You’re so mean”, “It’s not fair”, “You did what?!”, “You got to be kidding me!” and “Not everything is about you” are used excessively…

3.) You find yourself running errands for him….and he’s not there. He’s either sleeping or at home on the computer

4.) You’ll wake up in your drunk boyfriend’s piss, wake him up to change the sheets and get threatened he’ll break up with you, because it was uncalled to wake him so abruptly. You’ll change your sheets, clean your mattress…while he sleeps on the couch. You are dead tired but have nowhere to sleep, so you go make coffee in hope of luring him off the couch so you can take his spot, even though it’s your couch!
(Umm he's not an asshole you are just stupid right here)

5.) You’ll show up 20 minutes late to a friend’s wedding because he overslept

6.) Your normal face is when you’re rolling your eyes

7.) You give up on trying to argue and just wait till he’s not paying attention (which he never is), then do what you want… most likely he forgot what you said anyways…

8.) You figured out how to handle Drunk Asshole Boyfriend, just pretend you’re dealing with a special ed. kid

9.) You find yourself always questioning if you’re a good person, which you have to be to be dating this asshole lol

10.) You know it’s only a matter of time before you add more examples to this list. Assholes never change.

Annoying ASS Coworkers STILL...I'm Posting It AGAIN!!

ANNOYING ASS CO-WORKERS...R U ONE OF THEM? (THE PICTURE DISPLAYS 5 BUT I CAN THINK OF MUCH MORE)

I originally wrote this like more than a year ago and boy have things changed since then! I figured since its the new year we all try to train ourselves into practing good habits so if you read this and it sounds like you
dont get mad just make some improvements. Thanks




So many of you are dying to know who or what has been annoying the hell out of me....Ain't even gonna put that CRAZZY ASS chick on BLAST! The half ounce of maturity in me won't allow it. I will however touch base on certain things that may give you an idea of what annoys the hell out of me. Attention: THIS BLOG IS A GENERALIZATION WITH THE PURPOSE OF VENTING TO ALLEVIATE STRESS SO I CAN CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH MY COMPANIES CODE OF ETHICS!





So with that said..TIME TO VENT!!



Why do we go to work? I don't know about you but it's so I can avoid standing outside of burger king shaking a Styrofoam cup with $2.30 worth of pennies while wearing a stop and shop plastic bag as my purse and 2 left shoes. oh Hell no! I need to be able to make a living for myself.



Most of you reading this have a 9-5 so for the next few paragraphs you should be able to relate. You understand that since we spend way more time at work than we do at home...your co workers are like your second family. Which isn't always a bad thing. I've made so many REAL friends from my current and previous jobs. Honestly I've always been a team player and someone in the office you can talk to BUT THERE ARE JUST SOME PEOPLE I CAN NOT TOLERATE...ESPECIALLY IF YOU AINT THE ONE DECIDING WHETHER I GET A RAISE OR IF I STAY OR PACK UP MY SHIT IN THE WHITE CARDBOARD BOX!!



My Annoying Co Worker List! ( no particular order)



1. The Sob Story Co worker-Always talking about the no good husband ,boyfriend, baby daddy who cheats and beats yet your ass still with him. You are about to lose your house, he quit his job,your daughter dropped out of college and eloped with the janitor, your mom on life support,your dog just got ran over by an 18 wheeler and you aint make bonus in 5 months and you on a written warning. DAMN IT...HANG UR SELF ALREADY AND PUT ME AND YOUR SELF OUT OF THAT MISERY!

Update: New Me says please dont hang your self rather seek counseling or turn to God he does answer prayers


2. The Allergic to Soap & Toothpaste Co worker- I have to admit at my job people are pretty clean but once in a while you want to rub toothpaste on your knuckles and BUST SOMEBODY IN THE MOUTH! Once I had a co worker who smelled like she was wearing the same pad she got from the nurse in 6th grade! GROSS I KNOW!! Damn we get medical go take care of that ASAP! At my old job I use to hate the stinky ass smokers ..especially the ladies smelling like Newports & Nectarines but I don't have that problem at my current job. Thank God!

Update: The smokers may not smell but they cough like they have Swine Flu,Sars,Ebola Virus and the Bubonic Plague  * searches for germex*



3. The Myspace Reporter- Ok aint no secret we all be on myspace at work but you ever had a co worker you regret adding as a friend. The kind where you call out sick and go the beach and they bring up how cute your bathing suit looked in front of your boss the next day. I had a chick ask me how many Scorpion Bowls did I drink last night in the Boardroom once. She lucky the manager was cool and admitted those were his favorite. I deleted and blocked her ass with the quickness. As long as I'm not involved in a Donkey Show wearing my company's logo tee shirt with my name badge on ...my job shouldn't be concerned with my personal life on myspace!

Update: FACEBOOK STALKER  Not that different from the Myspace Reporter. Everyone pretty much has facebook even the managers. I honestly dont think its a good idea to be friends with your Boss I dont care how cool he or she is. There have been many incidents of people getting fired due to facebook status updates COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!  if you are going to call out with Pneumonia please dont update your status "Heading to the city for some shopping" TRUST ME Somebody will repeat it.  Also there is no rule that says because we work together I have to add you. Seriously It DOES NOT  mean I dont like you it just means Umm * thinking of a nicer term*  UMMM....I just dont want to! 

4. The Sneaky Eye/Computer Spy Co Worker- I have to admit I'm sometimes guilty of the quick look. Thats when you see somebody inbox full of emails from the guy in the mail room lol! There are some co workers that creep up behind you so quietly while you are working and be half way through your emails without you even knowing it. There is a girl at my job that will talk to you with one eye in your face and through the corner of her other eye she scanning your desk and computer like the f*cking Terminator. She need to cut it out before she go on medical leave for having staples in her eye. Because of this me and another co worker came up with INVISIBLE EMAILS. These are emails where your font color is white and the background is white and the font size is like 7. In order to read the email one must highlight the blank space...Like this >>STOP BEING SO DAMN NOSEY BITCH !!! MAYBE I SHOULD COPY RIGHT THIS METHOD! LOL SSEE HOW COOL IT IS!!

UPDATE: INVISIBLE INSTANT MESSAGES ARE GOOD TOO!



5.The I WAS RAISED BY WILD PIGS Co-Worker- There is nothing more annoying than someone who lacks social graces/manners.

CHEWING FOOD LIKE YOU TRYING TO KILL THE MEAT AGAIN. The CHICKEN OR COW ALREADY DIED! I was about to pull my fake hair and then my real hair out. LADIES SHOULD NOT BURP OR BELCH PERIOD! IF YOU DO AT LEAST SAY EXCUSE AND PRETEND TO BE EMBARRASSED! NASTY ASS CHICKS I TELL YOU! DON'T COME TO YOUR DESK EATING SOMETHING THAT SMELL LIKE BARBEQUE SKUNK EITHER!

UPDATE:  i'm on a whole other floor now so i dont even have that problem anymore!


6. THE BORDERLINE SEXUAL HARASSMENT CO WORKER- The ugly ass dude who always stopping by your desk asking how your weekend was while looking down your shirt and got a never ending hard on. Every time you go to the cafeteria no matter what time of the day his creepy ass and Viagra stick right there behind you. You aint complain to HR because ONE: aint no body told you to wear those tight ass office pants with the hot pink thong string showing. (intentionally worn for the office cutie)Two: you can't really prove his nastiness and he's really just being nice but because you feel sorry for his ugly ass you just completely ignore him when he says hi and hopes he gets the picture.

UPDATE: HE STILL NASTY

7. The EVERYBLACK STEREOTYPE Co Worker- I ain't NO Uncle Tom or Oreo but some black people don't know how to seperate their hood personality in a corporate environment. Don't come up in the parking lot blasting the latest G-Unit Mixtape. Your doo rag matching your tie isn't dress code.

Don't have your baby father come to the job cussin out the security guard because he can't come in the building and get $20 dollars to put minutes on his BOOST PHONE!  ( I wish I made that up)

UPDATE: This is like the biggest peeve ever!! Im not even gonna go in on this girl because she makes it known what block she from Ummm SMH Also I know its really hard losing someone you are close with but the whole office dont need to hear about Ray Ray,Peanut, Boodah, BigBeans getting jumped, locked up or shot. And 9 times outta 10 you aint seen Peanut since 4th grade and you in here being extra just to say you know the person in the paper IM JUST SAYING!!  


8. The Trying too hard to be Promoted Co Worker-This co worker amuses me more than annoys me.You come to work 8:00am They come 7:57 ...Now they think they need a raise and new position. They do waay more work and try to make you feel like shit for not going above and beyond like them. NOBODY TOLD YOU TO CATCH A FIRST CLASS FLIGHT TO RANCHO CALIFORNIA TO RUSH AN APPLICATION. You kiss the customer's ass more than anyone else and then when the end of the month come you getting the same bonus as the lazy ass co worker. WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE! Seriously People watch out for them because they are the kind to say to your boss "Oh did Dionne go home early today because she is normally back from lunch at 1:30" NICE TRY BITCH!

UPDATE: Umm with the economy the way it is umm it wouldn't hurt to come in at 7:57 lol
But seriously some people be quick to try and throw you under the Bus. Like if there is an issue with a file come to me first dont be talking all loud and extra confused to my/ your manager.  I Like how someone tried and ended up looking dumb as hell because she actually didnt know the procedure HMMMM!!  i digress

9. The Can I be your BFF Co Worker- One of the best things about a job is being able to get along with your co workers.

Some co workers want to feel like they are apart of the "Outside of Work" Club! If you didn't get invited to happy hour big deal..don't take it personal. I worked somewhere once where the lady would ask everyone who wants something from Dunkin donuts except me. I ain't cry crocodile tears...I got in my own whip and drove down and ordered my Everything Bagel with Veggie Cream Cheese. I DIDNT GO COMPLAIN TO THE BOSS LIKE BIG FUCKING CRY BABY! I swear some days work feels like high school. Just because I don't say hi to you and tell you your shoes are cute doesn't mean I don't like you. Stop trying to get my approval. Building your Self Esteem is not apart of my job description.GROW UP PEOPLE! YOU COME TO WORK TO MAKE MONEY NOT TO MAKE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS OR RUN FOR PROM QUEEN! BESIDES YOU WOULDN'T WIN ANYWAY!!
 
UPDATE: Some people still aint get the message the first time i posted this....Call me mean but Im still Real Im sure I left somethings out umm im either immune to it or never cared in the first place

Little Miss Hypothermia....I Need A Vacation!! ASAP

RANDOM FACT....There is no such thing as a Sexy Eskimo!! Trust me NO NEED to check my sources. As much as I wanna wear a dress to work with some cute knee boots the reality is that Jack Frost will molest me before I step off my front porch. Last night I heard the weatherman say that “this could be one of the worst winters in 25 years”. So basically this year we are going to be breaking some historic below-zero temperatures Umm Talk about Instant Depression. Actually this sounds like the perfect excuse for a Sweet Tropical Escape….at this point I don’t care if my hotel room is infested with obese mosquitoes!!! I just want some sun, a fruity alcoholic concoction and sandy beach! Hope you have your Passport!!! If not don’t worry you can still go somewhere hot U.S. citizens do not need a passport, but need to have some form of official government issued picture identification to enter Puerto Rico & Us Virgin Islands (St Croix, St John, St Thomas)
