Random Musings The Day After My Bornday

After a week of hateration, holleration, and the eternal search for danceries, I’m wiped out. With that said, it’s Friday, I ain’t got no job (EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS) and I ain’t got sh*t to do.

By the way, I’m totally lying about being unemployed. Sorry Ms. Jackson.

Anyway, because my brain isn’t working right now in a coherent fashion, I figured that I’d break down my mental and discuss a few things that have been on my mind for at least the last 15 minutes.

- I’d like to thank everybody who wished me birthday wishes yesterday. That was beautiful. If you knew what kind of month I was having,  you’d know that my birthday wasn’t exactly something I was looking forward to celebrating. Hell, even the day started out rocky for me. If the way I brought in this year was any indication of how the year is going to go, well, I could be in a very f*cked up mood for a very long time. But all the well-wishes from people I don’t even know really made me feel better. And welcome to all those commenters who dropped their first comment on a birthday well-wish to lil ole VSB P the 3. If I knew you, I’d buy you all shots.

Lucky for me I don’t know most of y’all. But DC, we’re gonna get together real soon. Like real soon. But straight up, from the heart, I really appreciate all of the shoutouts.

-Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, leaked the other day. After all the leaks, I was pretty much done on this album. But after listening to it as a whole product, I get it. Drake made an album, not just a bunch of hot singles. If you’re looking for “Forever” or “Money To Blow” you will be disappointed. This whole album sounds like “Successful” meets “Unthinkable”. And it makes cohesive and perfect sense to me. Is it a classic album? Not at all, though it depends on your defiinition. People will be talking about this album for years. So he’s right, we all just might thank him later. Which we’ll have to do since most of us will be cursing his ass out for making us shell out our hard earned money to buy an album that sounds like one big ass tuba note from a guy that looks like a smiling Eeyore. Oh and by the way, listening to this album in my car made it sound THAT much doper. “Unforgettable”, “Show Me A Good Time”, “Light Up”, “Miss Me” are all tracks to look out for. Or you could just listen to successful on repeat 14 times and save yourself the trouble. Thank me later.

-I saw the movie Just Wright the other day. Good movie, but gotdamn was it predictable. We come down on Tyler Perry for his predictablility and inabilty to employ subtlety into his movies. This movie had NO subtlety whatsoever, but I enjoyed it just the same. You should go spend your money on this movie. Common did a good job doing nothing more than being a lightskint rapper from Chicago who just so happened to be playing a 5’6″ All-Star ball player who somehow is the best player in the league. But ya know, it’s always good to see the underdog get their man. Queen Latifah is definitely the underdog. She’s the kind of leading lady I’d never really want to sleep with. Anyway, Just Wright was a Tyler Perry movie with out Madea, bad writing, ridiculous plot twists (if they are even remotely possible at all), Kimberly Elise as a sexxy woman, or Tyler Perry as a straight man involved. But…it was enjoyable. Like yo mama.

-Lakers in 5.

- This is hands down my favorite commercial of at least the last 10 minutes. While I’d never buy a Kia, I do appreciate the hardwork these hamsters are putting into the game.

I know at least two people who remind me of hamsters anyway. I call them Shellack and Doowop Underroo. But Bob when we’re at work.

- Shoutouts to the homey The Champ who was at the Modern Day Matchmaker Event Live joint in New York City last night and is probably partying as this posts. He’s holding down the VSB brand. Hopefully the NYC contingent got to kick it with him. If not, you can just hop on Diddy’s Last Train to Paris.

-I’m still sexxy. And I always will be. So to that chick who wrote me that email calling me a self-centered d-bag who couldn’t bag a woman if I used Boris Kodjoe’s face….stop being mad that I CENSORED your mother. Thank you and good night.

Those are my random thoughts on a Friday, what you got?

And remember, sharing is caring people.

And yes Virgina, I had a drink.

  1. “This is hands down my favorite commercial of at least the last 10 minutes”

    This commercial is awesome! Noticing that there are more and more companies with VSBs in the advertising department.

    So glad that you had an, ok?, birthday. Did you get my serenade?

    • Yeah, that is a pretty dope commercial. I imagine the hamster in the black leather to be Champ and the one in the red hoodie to be Panama. For some reason I automatically thought of them two because they started the video together like…brothas. lol

      • Cheekie, are you one of the slow-motion-head-turn groupie hampsters?

        Something about a dude with major swagger taking off a hoodie in slow motion. (Mrs. Dr. Evil giving the slow motion flirty smile)

      • i can see champie in the leather jacket only because everytime id see him in the winter, he had on a black leather jacket. other than that? his rhyming skills are weak lol. peej would def be the front man in that commercial.

    • I like that commerical too…the half-lidded expression on the hamster street drummer did it for me. I won’t even start on the hamsters in the tennis skirts…That single element reminded me of the Beatnuts video for “Off The Book”s, lol. It also makes me remember when sisters wearing tennis skirts in the streets was cool.

      • Cosign the hamsters in the tennis skirts……Love this commercial too though I would NEVER, EVER , EVER buy a Kia Soul (c’mon there gots ta be some cheap cars with some swag.
        Kia Soul Swag Factor = -0 )

  2. Happy belated bday Panama!

    I saw Just Wright las weekend, it filled me up and let me down at the same time. Common was just so stiff in this movie (and not in a good way)

        • @.Tiff- its worth seeing. it was entertaining enough, predictable as it was. i wasn’t mad at myself for seeing it. and i’d buy it on DVD and watch it again. then again, i still watch Baby Boy over and over again.

          • It’s predictable in a “feel good rom-com” way not the “formulaic storyline, different character Tyler Perry” way nor the “wtf you got served” way.

            I co-sign on the Baby Boy btw, just saw it again two wks ago for the 36th. That movies STILL p!sses me off. Man up Jody! Taraji are you really begging for him to come back? Straight bs…

    • A stiff Common is good in ANY way. I’m one-a the newbies from yesterday and man, I love the comments as much as I love the posts. Y’all are my kind of folk!!!

      • Hey Mr Jackson….allow me to take some time and be…well, um, nice for once. Since it was your b-day and all (Happy b-day, by way! Mine is next Friday! =) ), I hope you had a great day. Oh yeah….we all have sucky weeks (in your case, months…right?), but hey, it’s all temporary. So have a sip, sing a song, and keep it movin’…

        Also, I wanna go out to a VSB function and meet real-life VSPs (P=people)! I’m always complaining that there’s never anything to do here in DC. Then again, I’m a lazy socialite. Go figure…

        I forgot the point of my response….darn. Well, at least I’m making an effort to respond more to posts. Anyways, um…yeah. Looking forward to an actual event here in DC….

        Celtics in 6.

  3. The picture for this post made me instantly dizzy and yet I couldn’t draw myself away from it a good 10 seconds or so…Thanks Panama

    I’m definitely looking forward to Drake’s album and although I could use my internetresearchprowessness (aka Limewire) to get in a quick second…i will behave..at least for tonight.

    And if someone is criticizing/complaining/crying about what your doing then your not doing a good enough job…so with that said JOB WELL DONE PANAMA!
    You never cease to entertain me, even on my dryest day…I have secretly married you, you just don’t know it yet ;)

  4. random musings…
    - what the H*LL am i gonna do tomorrow.. i’m not working.. each day is just like the one before it..

    that might be it..
    i’m glad your day turned into something great Panama… even 3′s deserve birthday love…

    • @Nick_L_Odeon,

      Thanks for keeping me humble. lol. It ain’t like I am cute or anything. Thanks for the safe trip wishes. I am stuck in Baltimore for the night because of how bad the weather was earlier. What’s up with the cherry vaseline? Are you talking about the lip balm or an actual tub of cherry Vaseline? Because if there is an actual tub of cherry Vaseline, uhhh, I may have to make a trip to Walgreens.

      • You mean to tell me that you are less than 30 minutes away from me as we speak! My heart can’t take it! *faints*

      • hey babe.. sorry you’re stranded..
        it’s a tube of cherry vaseline.. i have about 7, and each purse has one so i never have to worry about finding one.. it’s not a tub.. sorry to bust that bubble.. but several tubes=1 tub.. is that an improper equation?? and i dont’ even wanna THINK about what you’d need a tub of vaseline for.. (you so nasty)
        what the stink was happening (mother nature-wise) up that way?? we had thunderstorms down this way.. i didn’t think it was affecting traffic along the east…

        • @Nick_L_Odeon,

          I knew asking about vaseline would bring that thought up, lol. A brotha don’t want to be ashy, plus I love the smell of cherries for some reason. I don’t like to have rough hands when I meet with customers. You are too funny.

          • i like how you had to come up with a story real quick.. NICE!
            i get you.. but the best way to have lotion absorb is to put it on right after you jump out the shower.. when the skin is damp.. vaseline sits on top of the skin.. kinda no real absorption.. thus resulting in a greasy experience..
            since you like cherries.. Bath and Body works has a “Cherry BLossom” lotion.. (get the cream, it’s thicker.. [pause]) it might assuage your love for cherries..
            i’m an expert in all things sweet smelling.. (don’t ask why)

      • I’m mad at her too! CTFU :-) But on tha for realla, I’m hafta look into that type of shower. *taking notes*

      • @Cheekie and miss t-lee,

        Oh, you already have one…you just didn’t know it…or you might (heh heh heh). Simply remove the shower head. Its like a huge a self rinsing, tube of liquid dildo with perfect aim. Releasing tension, pheromones and getting fresh n’ so clean at the same time. Is that multitasking or what? LoL

        Ask me how I know this? Well it came in handy before I went cold turkey 32 months ago. Had to give that up.

        Because there is absolutely nothing – and I mean nay-thing…like the real thing. :-)

        • Ms.Butta’sworth, I call mine S.E.A.N 2.0..it’s a veritable party when S.E.A.N, B.O.B and Mr SmileyFace get together *sniggles*

        • @Cheekie, LOL at the stroke of the imaginary beard.

          Just make sure there’s something that slip resistant on the bathtub floor and something…anything to hold onto.

          The experience can have a person sounding off like old dude knockin’ the bottom out of Lil Forrest Gump’s mama upstairs… tombout: “hhheyyy…hhheyyy…hhheyyy….hhheyyy… hhheyyy…hhheyyy…”

          @Smiley Face,
          LOL…Hahaaaa!

          • “The experience can have a person sounding off like old dude knockin’ the bottom out of Lil Forrest Gump’s mama upstairs… tombout: “hhheyyy…hhheyyy…hhheyyy….hhheyyy… hhheyyy…hhheyyy…””

            *screams with laughter*

            “Yo mama sure do care about yo education, boy”. lmfao

          • @ Cheekie,

            “Yo mama sure do care about yo education, boy” then ends with “um, um, um…”

            BwaaaaaaaaHAHAHAAAA!!!!

            ***drops dead on the floor, while holding both wrists up in the air….I surrenda, I surrenda….I’m done foh.*** Lmao.

    • “each day is just like the one before it..”

      I hate how the days just run together and I don’t actually know when I do something.

  5. “what the H*LL am i gonna do tomorrow.. i’m not working.. each day is just like the one before it”

    Nick, I feel your pain! Luckily, I always maintain a hustle and a flow. My flow is called UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION, my hustle is that I’m a Pro Makeup Artist.

  6. I just wanna say that the synopsis of that email you recieved killed me. *______* That was a verbal throat punch if I ever read one. Oh yeah, thanks for the review of Thank Me Later, I hadn’t planned on copping it, I have two of his mixtapes and I can always hear him on the radio since 7 songs out of every hour having him rapping or singing on the hook. LMAO. Happy Friday Peoples!

  7. I came to be first. Dammit Cheekie. Oh well. So what are we talking about? Panama’s greatness? Don’t know you but I can see why peeps get mad at you…you come across smart allicky (yes I made the word up) in your posts…unlike Champ. I’m a smart *ss too so I can appreciate it.

    My random thoughts right now…hmmmm…I discovered free online porn O_o I thought I was good but DAMN I need to step my game up. I’m signing up for a yoga class tomorrow fo sho. Also, I was thinking I’m hungry but this is the “if you eat you will be fat” hour. Ugh. Guess I’ll go to bed starving. Good night.

    • i do yoga for free every sunday morning… let me know if you wanna know where.. FREE i said.. FREE!!!
      i just had some spaghetti.. and yeah, i’m feeling guilty about it already.. gym in the morning, i guess.. UGH!

        • pilates is TOUGGGGHHHH!!!! it’s like yoga on some sort of drug. i do a class that combines taichi, yoga and pilates. i’m looking forward to becoming more flexible (than i already am). ;)

        • there’s this store in aventura mall called Lululemon (right by the Puma store) they sell yoga clothes.. and every sunday morning at 10:30, the move everything and have a yoga class.. for free.. they bring in different teachers from different studios so it’s always switching up (which i love).. i think they do something on saturday mornings too..
          you gotta get there early though cuz them aventura broads DON’T play!!

    • “I came to be first. Dammit Cheekie.”

      lol My bad, SFG, homie. If I weren’t up at that hour, I wouldn’t be bored enough to post like a maniac. *grin*

    • Also, my hair has napped itself into a pattern that says “CUT ME NYUCKA.” I thought I could make it another week until graduation, but I’m not so sure…

  8. Is this an appropriate time for me to mention that listening to Cyndi Lauper –dang near non-stop– has gotten me through the work week, and that I daydream about singin’ “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” at the karaoke spot?

    P.S., I dig that Kia commercial, too.

  9. Wait a min, Panama…shouldn’t you be having some bomb *ss bday sex right now with Cheekie instead of posting on your blog? Sorry girl, I hope you too aren’t cousins or anything. lol Okay good night.

  10. I’m glad your birthday was deeso, Panama.
    “…to buy an album that sounds like one big ass tuba note from a guy that looks like a smiling Eeyore.”
    Shat! I am weak!!! Oh well, here I go:

    1. I am not hungry, yet I want to eat Cool Whip out of a bowl.

    2. I should’ve snatched the Cubs hat my guy was wearing and thrown it into that rain puddle.

    3. My treadmill is dusty as hell!!!

    4. My hair smells like cookies.

    • 2. I should’ve snatched the Cubs hat my guy was wearing and thrown it into that rain puddle and taped it so P. could get a chuckle.

      Lovable loser deez.

      • If he pulls the “babe, it matches my polo” line I think I’ll throw it on the ground, set it ablaze and post the video. I hate the Cubs as much as I hate Kobe.

  11. P. Jackson, glad you enjoyed your bornday and hope your year gets better. I can make your day better by showing you how sucking my day was on your birthday.

    I spent 4 hours in a rental Explorer driving across Southern Massachusetts with my sales manager doing sales calls. Actually had a good day in that aspect. Get to the airport in Hartford and see that my flight to Baltimore to connect me to Houston is delayed again…. and again….and again. In fact, every plane was on the ground because of the bad weather in the DMV. I get one plane, it gets delayed. They say hey, if you want to connect to your flight to Houston, get on this other plane to Baltimore and you just might make it. Guess what? That plane was the last plane to leave Hartford, 4 hours after it was supposed to leave. I get to B-more, flight to the H is gone, got to get a rental car and hotel, without my luggage. Took a while to find the hotel around BWI because it was 3 miles away, had to get fast food to eat, and now I can’t sleep because I am watching the season premiere of my favorite show on TV, Burn Notice. Tomorrow is gonna suck royally. Hope that made your day a bit better.

    Sorry, had to vent. The afternoon would have been better if I was buzzing, but the bar at the Hartford airport closed at 6. AT 6! Anyway, glad you told that chick in the email off, hope Champ had a good forum tonight, that Kia commercial was cool because it used a true hip hop classic, not no hip-pop song, and I knew Just Wright be predictable, so the ComicBookGuy, I would suggest seeing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World this summer. I just got through reading the first volume of the Scott Pilgrim comic series and it is hilarious, so I think the movie may be just as funny.

    Oh, yeah, I am not surprised about the Drake album, but we had this discussion last month.

      • @P.,

        It’s alright, dude. I just knocked back a Bud Light Lime and Four Loko while I was typing that. Plus it was after midnight.

    • Glad to see another more Burn Notice fans here in VSB land! I actually missed it watching the Finals game. So now I gotta wait until sometime this weekend or next thursday to catch it. Damn you Paul Pierce!

    • @CBG

      I’m a Burn Notice fan also. I fanned the show on facebook. It is one of my favorite programs. Another good show that people are sleeping on is “Breaking Bad”. That’s my ish too.

    • @CBG, we did, but ya know, despite its lacklusterness, I cant stop listening to this album. its kind of like if radiohead decided to let somebody rap over their stuff. which begs the question…

      Radiohead and Lil Wayne = greatest collabo ever?

  12. My Random Friday Musings….

    - What is Panama like in real life? I met Champ, but Panama is a mystery. Is he truly a 3…..

    - I would to see this email that this chick wrote.

    - When is my car gonna get here? The driver is sposed to notify me 24-48 hours in advanced, but I don’t trust his trifliing, non-english speaking behind to let me know. Lord please let my car get delivered here safely…

    - What fatty LA food can I eat tomorrow?

    - What’s good this weekend???

    • What fatty LA food can I eat tomorrow?

      ^Hot pastrami from Astro Burger, Burritos or tacos from countless places (Lucy’s), In N Out, Pinks’s Hot Dogs, Roscoe’s off Pico, or eff it all and go to El Cholo!

    • “- What fatty LA food can I eat tomorrow?”

      Another random musing: What will I eat tomorrow? My refrigerator currently contains apple juice, water, butter, two bottles of BBQ sauce, and beer.

      I’m a pretty damn good cook, but I’m not exactly sure what to do with this. I’m open to suggestions, though.

    • peej is just as much a fool in person as he is online. everything that you think he is, he is. except the 3 part…. he’s at least a 3.5!

    • @Andi – - What is Panama like in real life? I met Champ, but Panama is a mystery. Is he truly a 3…..

      in real life panama is a total stick in the much who’s afraid of people and black squirrels. he also talks like a debarge.

      and he’s not even really a 3, he rounded up.

  13. “Anyway, Just Wright was a Tyler Perry movie with out Madea, bad writing, ridiculous plot twists (if they are even remotely possible at all), Kimberly Elise as a sexxy woman, or Tyler Perry as a straight man involved. But…it was enjoyable. Like yo mama.”

    DEAD!

    What’s wrong with Kimberly Elise though LOL?

    Thanks for the review of Drake’s album…I had a feeling his album would sound like one long 56 minute song. He’s actually got a good voice but he does look like and have the same enthusiasm as eeyore LOL.

      • No, I think Panama was saying it is without Kimberly Elise. It’s within the list of without Madea and Tyler Perry as a straight man. Which are all included in Diary of a Mad Black Woman.

        And lay off Kimberly Elise, P! Yeah, she may not be your typical dime leading lady and she resemble a frog (my sister’s words), but she ain’t fug. And she seems like cool peoples.

    • @MW09

      “What’s wrong with Kimberly Elise though LOL?”

      She is not (I repeat…NOT) sexy even in the slightest way. : ) (I’m smiling, but I’m serious)

        • @MW09, i think i hated her in every movie she’s been in. john q, diary of a mad black woman (thought i hated shemar moore’s hair more), set it off…not that i was glad she died or anything RIP

          • How you gon’ hate her in Set it Off, P?

            But this:

            “(thought i hated shemar moore’s hair more)”

            Is truth. I could not stand that Microsoft cut-and-paste hairdo.

        • I was waiting on a reply of “what’s really wrong with her?”

          May not bombshell material as far as chexx appeal, but I thought she was a nice looking chick. And one good thing I notice is that she seems to be genuine and she apparently has not allowed Hollywood to turn her out = Commercialize her. She seems original.

  14. Happy Belated Birthday!!!

    Random musings:

    - I’d also like to see this email.
    - Why da hell am I still thinking about Lost’s finale?!?
    - Will I keep up with Twitter now that I’ve committed to using it?
    - Where’s CHeeKZ?

  15. Radom musings….

    I saw some hawt azz shoes that were priced oh so perfect. They fit and all, but the cut would rub your foot and hurt after awhile. *sigh* I put them back.

    I’m thinking of a master plan….but dang, got some setbacks. I’ll start fresh tomorrow. This is the summer of the grind.

    I don’t have to work tomorrow. I don’t even know how to act.

    • ^*Random

      Need to take advantage of most ninjasbeing at work and handle some things while places are less crowded.

    • I saw some hawt azz shoes that were priced oh so perfect. They fit and all, but the cut would rub your foot and hurt after awhile. *sigh* I put them back.

      i applaud your strength girl. *applause.

  16. @legitimate soul,

    I saw some hawt azz shoes that were priced oh so perfect. They fit and all, but the cut would rub your foot and hurt after awhile….

    ….and corns are sure to follow. I knew a young lady who would suffer through the agony to where size 7 1/2 shoes because she was in denial about wearing her true size ->>>8 1/2; all because she’s 5’2″. And was totally mortified when she developed corns.

    • ^See, that’s why I put them back. I ain’t trying to have my feet ugly off some foolishness. Plus, I don’t know why your friend was trippin’ off 8 1/2. My homegirl was about the same height, very petite, and wore 9/10.

      • Exactly. Tryna be cute. I mean, as women we all know pain and beauty walk shoulder to shoulder in a lot of situations. But in her particular, it worked against her.

        And I thought 8…8 1/2 were average sizes for women….much like a 36C bra.

        • size 8 is the average size for women… i’m an 8 and d*mn if my size ain’t always gone..
          i can vouch for that bra size too….
          d*mn me being average..

          • You couldn’t be average if you tried! However, I am excited to know that I can borrow your shoes :)

            As for bras is 36C really average?? I’ve been buxom since elementary school so my perspective is off. Right now I’m in a 40G but I’m hoping I can shrink these suckas down to a 38DD with some exercise (and prayer). Don’t you want to move here and be my trainer??

          • Oh but it is, MsEsquire77. I remember being in one of the department stores at the mall as a teenager and one of the sales associates telling me this and it seems to hold true since its often the size a lot of department stores have less of/ or sold out in the lingerie section. The Vicky’s chick told me the same thing. But then that has been my experience too.

            My aunt just recently underwent surgery for breast reduction. She had some enormous jugs… like real bazookas. 36 around, but hers had to be at least double D’s, possibly triple. She began experiencing severe back aches. She’s now a 36C.

            @Jai,

            LOL.

        • @ComicBookGuy,

          Isn’t it? Hahaaaa

          Random#1: Humming Spiderman theme song “Spiderman…Spiderman….does whatever a spider can…”

          @Nick_L_Odeon,

          Aww, I wouldn’t put it like that. They’re just in high demand. LOL

          Random#2: Sure could use a nightcap…I’m just not sure what. Lets see…..

        • Not sure where you hang out, but there’s nothing average about a 36C. Nice? Yes. Average? No. Or maybe I just need a new place to chill.

          • @caballeroso,

            Twelve years after the WonderBra caused small-breasted women to stampede, the boob pendulum is apparently swinging back. The average size of the American breast has grown from 34B to 36C , according to manufacturers. Anecdotally, the growth might be even more breathtaking: Those style-section stories are full of women who can’t face the fact that they are, they really and truly are, a D. “Some women have gotten angry when I tell them they’re a D-cup. They think that’s huge,” said a bra fitter in one of those upteenth style stories.

            Read more: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1208335,00.html?cnn=yes#ixzz0ptWVGQ9s

            …all I’m saying is whenever I go shopping for undergarments and such 36C’s are barely left on the rack…especially the sexy and sophisticated ones. I mean….sure not every time, but often enough for me to notice such tendencies. So may be it just boils down to where I am and which may also have something to do with why I usually drive clear across town where more 2520′s roam and reside…gives me a chance to get first dibbs at a wider selection of more classy n’ sophisticated undergarments in my size. That’s all I’m saying.

        • i def think 36C is avg based on certain locations/history.
          i used to work at a lingerie store and 34B is the avg size. now this was a few years ago, before many stores started to realize the market for above 34D. The population is getting bigger, so i wouldn’t be surprised if it indeed the case now.

          • I am a 34dd and i have to special order my bras (or rock a 36d and have saggage and spillage…terrible combination)…

          • @ jai:
            you know who oddly has cute bras, for cheap in higher sizes? (Im a 40D)..Walmart!! Crazy, but it’s true.

          • @Keisha…really? I am going to have to check them out. I usually can find a 34D, but never a 34DD. If I put that on, I would instantly have 4 chi-chi’s (2 in the bra, and the remainder spilling out) or end up lifting, pulling, and adjusting them suckas (pause) all day…

    • where wear

      Oooo, nice…an evening shower…time to crack the windows. I love the sound of rain. The perfect lullaby.

      • @ Humble_One: bruhahahaha @ gross violation

        @jai: check it out! if I can find them up here in Canada…i’d bet the twins that you can find them wherever you are! i hate the fact that as a larger chest size girl im expected to buy $150.00 bras. effdat!! as long as it’s the right size (and maybe lacy, or a fun colour) – I dont want to spend 20% of my rent on a damn bra. i recognize that you get what you pay for, but it PAYS to KNOW the right size (70% of women wear the wrong size bra).

    • I bought the cutest Coach shoes as my birthday present to myself at Nordstrom last week… they were on sale and they special ordered my size, I dont wear shoes smaller than my size, the pain isnt worth it.

  17. Suck it up mutha f!cka!
    2 tears in a bucket so f!ck it andyou tube bro franklin and have another drank
    Specifically a shay-d -lady. Redbull vodka and a splash of pineapple ( it is so called a shaydylady!)
    I am also pleasantly suprised that the gourmet cheese and carmel mix match (the actual name of the product)
    Is pretty dayum good
    I hate the word tether
    I sprayed my self with off to walk around the lake at my job. Apparently it only served to steer
    The mosquitos to the places I coudlnt reach with the off and know I can’t reach to scratch fml
    My job still has VSB blocked as a porn site. The IT guy that was gone hook me up
    Quit his job in terrific “to hell with this shyt badge throwing” fashion so I’m out of luck
    Wait
    Random thoughts always lead to this type of self pity. Or maybe the alcohol
    Lol anyway I’m going to holla later and have a great b day weekend!

  18. My random musings:

    1) I should’ve been in bed at 11:00…what is my problem?
    2) I finally ordered my 1st pair of derby skates last week and I’m counting the days until they arrive so I can do some damage on the rink!
    3) Why is my social calendar mostly blank for this weekend? Thankfully I have a pile of library books to occupy my time.
    4) My job is stressing me out…am I too old to become a stripper? It’s got to be easier than what I’m doing.
    5) I really want a cupcake, preferably peanut butter with chocolate icing.

    Anyway, I think I’m finally sleepy enough to go to bed so goodnight.

    • LOL I never make the 11pm mark…even though I shoot for it everynight.
      And I was honestly thinking of having a 90′s theme jam skate party before the summer ends. Hmmmm….

      • When and where is this skate party?! Even though I hate you for claiming CBG as your e-boo before I could hook him for myself I’m still willing to roll through. (Did you see what I did there…roll through…skate party…I crack myself up!)

        Seriously though, I would love to join you if you’re local. Irecently discovered my love of skating AND I’m trying to get on our local roller derby league. I need the exercise and an outlet for my inner rage…shout out to miss t-lee and her throat punches!

        • Lmao…I was reading his threads and thought “ooh better claim him”. You know there’s a good man shortage out here and in the South we fight for our men. *pullin blade out from under tongue* Naw but we can share him…as long as I’m #1.

          I live in South Florida, near Pembroke Pines/Hollywood. I seriously might plan and I’ll let you know…hey you never know where you’ll be. ;) I was a skating fool back in the day. The skating rink was the SPOT. I try roller blading every now and then but put my blades on chill cause I ate the sidewalk last month and embarrassed the hell out of myself.

      – “ain’t i done did enough” reminds me of the “why for come you made me do that” from yesterday.. so thank you!
      – and the “dear baby jesus”.. don’t know why, but yeah, that’s a laugh-jerker too… my abs hurt from yesterday, so thanks for that pain-inducing laugh.. but no thanks..

      • addendum:
        why the H*LL are all these people up at this hour? i can’t get any writing done if there’s the possibility of interaction.. i’m so weak..
        and umm, you coulda washed your dreads in the rainstorm that was happening this afternoon…
        i wanted air maxes ever since high school… i hatechu for owning them.. (thought you should know..)

      • @Nick…

        -It’s not just sheed though! It’s like the on some no hair cuts til we win the finals. But, the only problem with that is they been sayin that for 3 years now!
        -oh did I miss an invite to go somewhere?
        -oh no bad memories about my sister, that broad just moved and I feel like I haven’t seen her in forever!

        I actually just wash my hair yesterday, I just noticed a lot of lint in my dreads. and you should really should invest in some air maxes! They look great on women.

        • why dee H*LL were you up at 5 in the morning!? i was ridin out, but DANG!!
          there was one fantastic game that the Lakers played not too long ago.. and when i looked, Artest, Gasol and some other fool had a haircut.. nothing’s scientifically proven, but i’m just sayin.. they were losin before they cut their hair..
          – i mentioned to smartfoxgirl that since we live close we should all get together.. she ignored me, as did you.. so THERE!
          - i’m not working.. i don’t have air max money.. and besides, i don’t know if there’s any correlation but i LOVE Pumas.. (i’m jamaican..) but DANG! the red air maxes used to set my soul on fire.. AND the blue and grey ones… OOOHH WEEE!!!
          – i’m a tomboy, trying to be a lady.. you can’t get me all geeked up on sneakers.. OOHH!!!
          – i don’t even know what to say about lint in your dreads.. maybe you should’ve kept that to yourself.. lol

          • Sooo…I just seen the invite. I would love to hang out with 2 beautiful ladies like you and Smartfox. I’m down just let me know when and where! Is Puma the Jamaican the national sneaker… Cuz I got friends and thats all they wear. I think its something sexy about woman who can wear sneakers. and the fact that you can get geeked up about, gud lawd have mercy

          • @Kirk…
            Puma sponsors the Jamaican Relay Team.. (see Usain Bolt) my loyalty runs deep.. that’s just the way it is!! OOH WEE!!
            and word on the street is that Nikes aren’t so comfortable anymore like they when we were in high school.. (maybe just when i was in high school, i’m old..)
            smartfox hasn’t replied.. soo…
            however, since there’s no post on the weekend.. click on my name, go to my blog and click on the “contacting nick” page.. it’ll help you get a hold of me on the off days.. i know you’re close to hollywood, so if you wanna get together there’s good pizza in the circle.. and good reggae at the bay (depends on the day tho.. lol)
            my friends are gonna want to punch you in the face for validating my “why can’t i wear Pumas” argument..
            and point lost for just seeing the invite.. crab!

      • I HAVE to dip in this convo….see, I was staring @ R. Wallace’s hair too….maaaan, he never looked THAT rought when he was holdin’ it down for us in Detroit. What the EFF is going on? I mean….dayum dude.

  20. The word “moist” sounds x-rated.

    I like saying I gotta “make groceries instead of “I have to go grocery shopping” sometimes.

    Yay, Lakers!

    Real talk when is the VSB BBQ? Can we have a VSB Convention with a weekend of events?

    Why obstacles keep fuggin’ up the plan?

    There was a triumph for someone. *appaluding* Good sh!t, good sh!t….

    • Are you from the South? I grew up in MS and those are the only folks I know of that say “make groceries” instead of “go shopping” or “buy grocery.” I got ribbed about that years ago when I moved to TX from MS and eventually stopped saying it…but your comment made me smile!

      • I have family from the south and some of my Dad’s extended family is from MS. Now, my family does NOT say “make groceries”. I say it because budget-wise we be “makin’ it happen” and old skool Comic View D.L. Hughley would joke about his mother “making” groceries. We take a little and make a lot.

    • I hate the word moist too! I just don’t like the way it feels in my mouth. It’s on my unofficial list of words to hate. Mucus and vulva also make the list…yuck

    • “Real talk when is the VSB BBQ? Can we have a VSB Convention with a weekend of events?”

      im VERY ready to make myself the unofficial-official VSB event planner. All i ask for as payment is a damn t-shirt. #imjussayin.

      • “All i ask for as payment is a damn t-shirt. #imjussayin.”

        Girl the “talk-too-dayum-much” top 10 comment crew still didn’t get ours, yet. lol

        Or maybe the other 9 did, and Panama stole mine.

        • Well then forget that!

          I’m gonna design my very own VSB/VSS T-shirt. I’ve been told I’m a pretty talented sketch artist/designer. Seriously, I’ve got a few ideas on it already.

          • @ Ms. Butta..

            Nope! I think if we take matters in our own hands..we could RULE THE WORLD!!! (#nopinkyandbrain).

            I was laughing at Cheekie: Girl the “talk-too-dayum-much” top 10 comment crew still didn’t get ours, yet. lol
            Or maybe the other 9 did, and Panama stole mine.

          • @Keisha,

            Oh okay…. :-)

            Honestly I’m beginning to think these t-shirts are nothing but a figment of someone’s imagination. Lol.

          • @Ms. Butta’s Worth,

            “Honestly I’m beginning to think these t-shirts are nothing but a figment of someone’s imagination. Lol.”

            lol I bought one a while back so they do exist. The winners of that top-10 commenter contest were supposed to get the new design…which may or may not exist. ;)

  21. Ohh, this post made me giggle ..
    People who e-mail angrily make me giggle too.. like do you ferociously slam the keys as you peck away your anger? Sounds time-consuming. And happy belated birffday Panama.
    I couldn’t sleep & this site always makes me laugh like someone’s tickling me to death :)

  22. I actually think this is my first post here, even though I’ve been reading for at least a year…shameful, I know…

    With that being said, Happy Belated Birthday, Panama! :)

    I have some random musings as well…
    -How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
    -I’m way too excited to see Toy Story 3 in 2 weeks…

    2. Finally learned to drop eye drops in my eyes now my cheeks don’t look like they’re crying.
    3.Sure hope the hubby remembers to get freon for car…I’m sure he will when his balls stick to the seat.
    4. The kid goes to her 8th grade swim party today. I swear ta beanz I just had one like yesterday. Who moved my years?

  24. I caught Just Wright last week and was surprised by how bad it wasn’t. It was a movie with Common, Latifah, Paula Patton’s Paula Pattoness, the Chief from Grey’s, and Pam Grier that actually worked. Anyway here’s my randomness.

    1. Funny, I don’t even think of Queen Latifah as a rapper now.
    2. I love chicken. I just don’t love Popeye’s Keep you up for 2hrs at night dinner special.
    3. Considering what I just wrote for my number 2 I really want some ice cream right now.
    4. Target has a better selection of condoms than Walmart.
    5. I came very close to buying a sock monkey from Bi-Lo yesterday. Too close,

  25. Random Musings:
    –what am I going to do this weekend
    –should I go for my run even though my leg is still a little screwed up (pause…quadricep sprain)
    –should I let the cougar out in me and approach that yung tasty tenda that works at the Olive Garden and use him and ruin him for others…

    • I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used, Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up, Until you use me up…

      Go ‘head and stretch it out and go for a light run, but not too much. Folks don’t wanna listen to their body until its too late.

      • I have a quadricep sprain and a large contusion on my knee and it gives out on me when I run (I did this to myself running on a treadmill instead of outdoors). When my orthopedist told me I could not run, had to limit my workout and I could not rock any heels, I was devistated (NO HEELS…WTF)…

        I am going to take it easy so I can be in perfect shape to chase/stalk Gilbert Arenas…..

        • ever since high school, my knees tended to hyperextend on me thus making me collapse at the weirdest times.. i HATE running on a treadmill.. somehow, the treadmill hurts my feelings.. i can’t just “run” and go nowhere.. and the scenery never changes.. i feel the same way about those bikes..
          somehow, the treadmill is harder on me that the sidewalk by the golf course..

      • @Shay

        “Go ‘head and stretch it out and go for a light run, but not too much. Folks don’t wanna listen to their body until its too late.”

        Cosign. I am now getting back to working out with some intensity. I’ve spent the past 3 years injured and in therapy because I didn’t listen to my body and rushing to get back to the same strength/stamina I was at before an injury or falling off my workout.

    • –should I let the cougar out in me and approach that yung tasty tenda that works at the Olive Garden and use him and ruin him for others…
      DEAD…dwl..yes they have been doing it to us for years. (reminiscing on my youth…damn you reynaldo)

      • I too support any tenderoni goodie snatching. He has to learn. Just make sure to let him know it’s a once (or 12x) time thing and you expect unlimited dessert and wine from now on.

    • @Jai

      “should I let the cougar out in me and approach that yung tasty tenda that works at the Olive Garden and use him and ruin him for others…”

      Yes you should let it out. I will be at work at 7:00. Remind me to hook you up with extra breadsticks.

      • You hook me up w/some breadsticks AND a salad we can get into some debauchery at Table 7 (whether that’s ur table or not)!

        • @Jai

          I got you on the salad depending on what type of salad. For some reason I like the word “debauchery”

          • just the house salad (their dressing does something to me)~~~
            Debauchery is just a clean way of saying you’re about to get into some nastiness (YAHHHHHHHHHH…I heart that word too)

          • @Humble_One:
            house salad isn’t the same as toss salad is it?

            There wasn’t a reply button for your comment below. I just died! Oooooohhh…*katt williams voice* Do you know I can see you? Either my mind’s in the gutter or you one freaky mofo. lol

          • @Jai & SmartFoxGirl

            I asked because the last woman that mentioned salad in a joking tone was talking about something else. My naive arse was talking all about salads I like and she was on something totally different. I didn’t catch on until she told me what she wanted me to do to her directly.

  26. Musings for the morning

    I gotta head to MD and deal with these crumb snatchers today…and then write up a report over the weekend… for free.

    Y’all are gonna find me out on Georgia Ave makin folks holla for a dolla. I need to come up with rent money. SMH, days like today make wonder if I made the right decision walking away from my paycheck, insurance, 401K, and my pension.

    Shrek Ever After- Eddie Murphy channels the spirit of Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate! I was weak.

    Bill Withers in the morning makes things better.

  27. Is there room on the corner for me?? I love my job (gotta love the kids!) but working for a non-profit keeps my bank account on low! Every 1st of the month I curse my life while writing out the damn rent check…ugh, I need to do that today :(

  28. I’m so pumped it’s Friday. I feel like renting a Mack truck and fender bending some folks this morning. Woop woop!

    AND I can’t wait to see the car wash guy at my job..paid for a detail and that mofo barely wiped down my insides. Said he was gonna fix it Monday and did not show NOR did he return my call. He better not show his shabadoo face around here today or I got something for him!

    • Co-sign on the Mack truck! Sometimes I wish that I drove a tanker so I could run over a mofo or 9 of ‘em.

  29. I want to go to Carrabbas I can’t get enough of the Blackberry Sangria
    What should I do with my hair
    What am I doing tomorrow
    I hate when folk don’t come through
    I want Thai Food I’m hungry

    • “Where the hell is CHeekz! (I always capitalize the wrong letters, lol)”

      I always do too, but here is a good way to remember. Only the two e’s in between are lowercase.

      CHeeKZ.

      But yeah, I miss him causing a ruckus and always startin’ sh*t on the internets.

  30. First thing, that commercial is great! LOL!!
    Random musings…
    1. Been saying it since the Orlando series… Celtics in 6!

    2. Take one Corona, pour out the neck, re-fill with Tequila, and you have the best Corona ever. My homie in Vegas called it a Loaded Corona. I call it deeelicious!! Tequila makes everything better. Oh, and I will be trying the skittles and vodka thing. In fact, I think it will be even better in a flavored vodka, like Stoli Raz and tropical skittles. Yum…

    3. 4 days later, washed locs, and my hair still has the faint smell of maryjane. Really, people smoke that in the club? And I thought cigarettes were bad.

    4. I love laying out in the sun! And I have an awesome tan!! It’s funny… with this tan, you can really see the red in me. I am a brownskin redbone. lol.

  31. Randomnessness:

    - Why do girls see a decent brotha in a shirt and tie, and then act like he Medusa, and will turn them to stone if they look

    Is it me or was SATC 2 uh a joke? The movie was HORRIBLE and trust I’m a fan of these gals but c’mon. I melted in my seat cuz I was so ashamed and disappointed…

  33. Random C Noting:

    - Didn’t I just shave my legs two days ago? Dag on stubbies!

    - My grandma is in town from Louisiana. As soon as I get home from work I gotta pull out the gospel CDs and put away the 17 bottles of vodka, wine, and cognac that are on the counter. *making mental note*

    - God, I hate texting (Except when I don’t want to be heckled while at a bar.)

    - My oil change light has been on in my car for weeks.

    - What’s up with my ex boyfriends calling me so much (on a friend level, needing favors, advice and what not)? *pondering* Am I a better friend than girlfriend?

  34. W’sup, everybody…

    @ Panama (Mr. Jackson, if you’re nasty) – Birthday aftermath is usually tough for me; I tend to be a little introspective. If you find yourself in the same scenario today, I hope you’re pleased w/what you find inside.

    Musings on a Friday:

    1. M’trippin on how all the avid anti-FB’ers here @ VSB probably don’t consider responding to this particular post a form of social networking
    (though the two are eerily similar).

    2. I have “Just Got Paid” stuck in my head…seeing as I…just got, yeah.

    3. If I smoked that yerbal, I believe I would do so to Santana’s “Put Your Lights On” feat. Everlast…or just about anything by Everlast. Something about his voice induces the desire to inhale smoke.

    4. I’m NOT gonna let these kids drive me crazy w/only 3 days of school left. I feel sorry for their mothers.

    5. I have headphones in while I’m eating and the sound of my chewing makes me not want to eat. If I put a patent on this, I can call it the next big diet program and retire @ 32.

    That is all.

    • @ #4:

    2. Why do people in this area slow down through a GREEN light?!?!

    3. I better not see my picture up on the internet. I went out Sat, some chicks pulls the walk by pose. They were on the OTHER end of the dance floor, decide to come by the staircase JUST to take a pic.
    Then I had to ride the metro the other day, this girl gets on, with no shame, holds up her camera and take a friggin pic of me. WTF?!?! Who DOES that?!?!

    9. I’m not going to knock this old chick down. Seriously. Like, if she was older and class (Selma Hayek, Beverley Johnson) but now that I’ve discovered she’s a skanky older woman. Um, no. Please stop calling. Please…lol

    10. I need a va-caaaation (jeezy voice). L.A…part 2? I do need to get up with that latina chick again…um..yup!

    11. Looking at all these divorce documents I have confirmed that alot of ninjas are just stupid. WHY? would you tape, photo, record you and your side chick (for starters) and keep it on your home computer?! WHY? would you have phone conversations…in the closet?!!! That would raise suspicion my dude…you 46, stop hiding in closets, LOL!

    12. This weekend I may enact “I got a story to tell” pt. 5…but I’m not trying to get shot (laughs). let me think on this..(laughs)

  37. Random musings

    -I need a new car. I am trying hard to justify a 2011 5.0 Mustang, Camaro SS, or Challenger SRT8. It doesn’t help that I get a discount on all of them. I need to be practical and get a used car and save money. Being a carguy sucks at times.

    -I want the chic down the street from me something fierce. It makes no sense for her arse to be the way it is. She is wrong for being out with those shorts on. Too bad she is too close to home.

    -next week I will wake up early enough to start 2-a-days at the gym

    • -I want the chic down the street from me something fierce. It makes no sense for her arse to be the way it is. She is wrong for being out with those shorts on. Too bad she is too close to home.

      oh snap, you been watching me?!?!?!

      lol ;-)

    • “-I want the chic down the street from me something fierce. It makes no sense for her arse to be the way it is. She is wrong for being out with those shorts on. Too bad she is too close to home.”

      What you mean by too close to home?

      Get at her!

      • @Cheekie,

        Translates to: Too close to his home.

        Almost like eating where s/he ishts. (I think…or I could be wrong…chuckle)

      • @Cheekie

        “What you mean by too close to home?

        Get at her!”

        I don’t want to talk to a woman that lives within 5 minutes walking distance from my house. You open yourself up to problems.

        • Humble, you know I luh you like a play cousin et al, but stop talking yourself out of the game already! Maybe her lease is about to end in like a weekl and she’ll move farther… Maybe she is looking for some quick summer fun and nothing more… maybe, maybe… At least give it a try, ya never know!

        • @Humble_One

          See I had a brief summary stating just that…but decided to sum it up.

          I understand its too great a chance to take, but she could be a very mature lady about it, but you’ll never know it now.

  38. “-I’m still sexxy. And I always will be. So to that chick who wrote me that email calling me a self-centered d-bag who couldn’t bag a woman if I used Boris Kodjoe’s face….stop being mad that I CENSORED your mother. Thank you and good night.”

    By the way, was that email sent after you wrote the ugly post?

    Random thoughts:

    - Good look Champ of not making Panama’s mistake and actually wearing a VSB shirt yesterday at MDML (saw you on Ustream). #noshots Also, I wanna pinch your chimpmunk cheeks.
    - I wanted ice cream yesterday and had it. I win at making decisions.
    - Why does Gabrielle Union makes 50-lem facial movements instead of actually acting? (my twit fam will know I asked this on Twitter but I’m still wondering)
    - Why is Idris Elba so chexy?
    - I said I was gonna buy The Wire boxset and I’m gonna soon (I watched all my coworkers DVDs but I want my own set…plus I wanna listen to commentary and extra ish). The plantation gave us a 25 dollar gift card for staff appreciation week a few weeks ago and I’mma get an Amazon card and go to effing town.
    - For those who saw the Ustream of MDML, ain’t Slim Jackson HOT?! lol

  39. Random Musings:

    1.) I’ve got today off and don’t have sh*t do. Stuck at Randolph Air Force Base while my girl is at drill. Glad I’m outta the military (kinda).

    2.) Loving the new relationship…I must be (see 1.)

    3.) I’m glad to be employed. Having said that, my job sucks. Our server was down last week so them fools in upper management mandated that we use a vacation day for the time lost. This week these bozos are saying that because of the lost production, they want us to make up the hours by working an extra hour per day for the next two weeks. I WANT MY VACATION DAY BACK then! Any body out there looking to hire a site development civil engineer?

    4.) I love my boo, but she tricked me. In the beginning life was cool. Now she’s on some once a week chex crap. That ain’t what I signed up for; we need to renegotiate! And if it’s true what they say about chex becoming less frequent post marriage, this really ain’t the business!

    5.) Speaking of business, I’m trying to figure out if I want to open a day care center (even though I’m not good with kids…yet) or a cajun restaurant.

    6.) Where did my youth go? I’m 38 already (until September).

    7.) I understand from what I’ve heard that Gary Coleman was a butt hole in reality, but does that really excuse the text jokes about him being buried in a casket with his name on it, showing an image of a Coleman Ice Chest in the background?

    8.) I want to start doing sit ups to make sure I don’t lose my 6 pack any further…but that sh*t hurts! There’s gotta be a better way.

    9.) Heading to Jamaica on August 4th for a week, then cruising to Cozumel for a week on August 16th. I should be happy, but all I can think about is the work that I need to get done before I leave and while I’m gone. :(

    10.) I wish I were more sociable. Is it normal to have two friends?

    • 5.) Speaking of business, I’m trying to figure out if I want to open a day care center (even though I’m not good with kids…yet) or a cajun restaurant.

      Why are those 2 the only choices?? :lol: I would vote for Cajun Restaurant but with the scarcity in Louisiana seafood, it would be tough…

    • I think 2 friends are enough really. If you can find more than that (I mean real friends), consider yourself lucky.

  40. After reading every1′s else’s random musings, I’ll give mines:

    1) How is it Friday and I have done MAX 3 hours of actual work this entire week?

    2) Excited for summer weekend (Garretts, Harold’s, Gospel Fest @ Millennium Park, inevitable creepy stares on cta)

    3) Why do I only attract mhoes (male ho, plural) and not chexy Sugar Daddies?

    4) I really hate wearing socks

    5) I need to move to DC

    6) When I get home, I’m going to eat my entire carton of vanilla bean ice cream and watch Menace II Society and whatever I get today from Netflix.

    Happy Friday!!!

    • 1) How is it Friday and I have done MAX 3 hours of actual work this entire week?

      ditto! im still in awe. been here over 40hrs this week yet my actual productivity has been a mere fraction of that time. *smh* shameful

      5) I need to move to DC

      yo tambien!!!

      When I get home, I’m going to eat my entire carton of vanilla bean ice cream and watch Menace II Society and whatever I get today from Netflix.

      replace “vanilla bean” with “butter pecan” and “menace ii society” with “alice in wonderland” (johnny d version) and thats me too!!!! (no clipse)

      • @ Gem of the Ocean

        Oh snap, I haven’t seen Alice in Wonderland yet. And I think there’s a good quality one up on my fav online movie site. *scratches out Menace II Society but leaves in vanilla bean*

        so excited for my lonely girl night!

    • 1) How is it Friday and I have done MAX 3 hours of actual work this entire week?

      I think counting today, I have done exactly 3.75 hours of work. Le Sigh.

    • 5) I need to move to DC

      DO IT!! You will LOVE it! I have been in DC area 2 years and I am proud that I made the move. My sister is here now because she wants to move here too. Let me know if you need my help.

  41. my random musings

    -i better get lunch today or it’s on.
    -i love the references/testimonials i got from my last 2 wedding clients. feels good to be in the right job at the right time.
    -why can’t i get out of bed any earlier, no matter how much extra sleep i get?
    -it’s 11:09am and i have no inclination to work today.
    -double standards DO suck (as per recent sbm post). there are things i want to say and do but cant cuz i got D’s. (thumbs down).
    -even though there are good reasons, going off the pill sucks ass cuz now i have nooo idea when auntie flo is coming for a visit. that ish was like clockwork before (#nojuelzsantana).

    that’s all i gots.

  42. I have a new appreciation for what women go through with their hair. Night before last, I greased my gf’s scalp. Apparently it helps prevent chemical burns when you get a relaxer. Who knew.

    I thought I had done something a few weeks back when I used the comb to see how many flakes I could dislodge from her scalp. Similar to the greasing operation, you simply make parts in the hair, then scrape. The things we do for love. SMH! If my daddy could see me now. o_O

    I’m hesitant to wonder what’s next. Maybe I’ll apply the relaxer…how hard could it be, the instructions are on the box, right?

    • wow!
      things dudes WILL do for love indeed!!!
      *i give 2 thumbs up.

      ps: im also NOT letting my SO in my head with chemicals. that’s what hairdressers are for. :|

        • lol i dont trust a negro to brush my hair its in its festive (read: curly) state. i have a ton of thick hair and even professional hair stylists are scared of this mane.

          altho i used to let me ex wash my hair. that felt so heavenly.

      • I thought I was the only dude that did that type of stuff.

        Well, I am sure guys don’t sit around discussing what they do for their SOs… Lol. But be reassured, you are far from being the only one. :)

    • Dont trip fam, I helped my boo grease her scalp a few weeks ago. But when she asked me to help take her tracks out, I had to draw the line.

          • Your a good man my brotha, a good man

            Like I’ve said before and I’ll type it again….because I know a good brotha when I see and/or read one…

            1.5 my foot! The jig is up…been up. Humble, you give off entirely too much positive energy for such a rating and I refuse to acknowledge the CLC for Sub3′s non profit organization any further.

            I am sorry. But you’re packing entirely too much heat up under that vest. Men like you leave a gal wishful, yet inspired at the same damn time. And that’s all Forrest and I have to say about that.

            “mamaraisedhimright”…(noRageInHarlem)

    • Awww, you all. That’s alright right there! Looking back at it you may be saying “Man, I can believe she’s got me up in here doing this…” but I’m sure when you’re in that very moment, you gladly do it without a second thought.

      • ??•*¨*•.¸¸?¸¸.•*¨*•?? ….what you won’t do…do for love….you tried everythang, but you don’t give up….in my worrrrrld only youuuuuu….make me do for love, what I would not do…. ??•*¨*•.¸¸?¸¸.•*¨*•??

        I cannot get this song out of my head.

    • lmao i love that you do this!! its so nice to still know guys who will help their boo out with whatever she needs help with, regardless of the task.

    • “I have a new appreciation for what women go through with their hair. Night before last, I greased my gf’s scalp. ”

      There’s somethin’ super chexy about that…

  43. These last few days are DRAAAAAGGGGGINNNNNNN! Even though, I spend more than half the day in my room sleeping and playin on the net collectin checks..that ain’t tha point!

    I. Need. It. (Bad) — nuff said.

    Sula, you gotta see me bout that Humble comment on yesterday’s thread. I left you a nice little note. Humble all day baby!!

    God is good all tha time and all the time (fill in tha rest)

      • Thanx Gemmie…will do. I’ll say though you know just how to subtley let an eboo down gently..lol. You still my gurl though. Any interviews on your eboo apps??

    • Sula, you gotta see me bout that Humble comment on yesterday’s thread. I left you a nice little note. Humble all day baby!!

      I will go check it out.. Lol!

      Houston is going to be fun this summer… It’s in the air… You’ll feel it once you get in.

    • Dear Gem’s former e-boo,
      How did you lose 2 inches? Did you just get out of the pool? Inquiring minds wanna know.
      Sincerely,
      Miss Patterson

      • How did you lose 2 inches? Did you just get out of the pool?

        lmbo. This literally made me laugh out loud!

        Umm. No. no miss patterson. No strinkage here. The numba represents the days left on my overseas occupation. The numba (and only the numba!) will shrink day to day until I land back in H-town.

  44. so Miss Patterson (our very own here at VSB) is always askin “where the brothas at?” and requesting that i find her a man. though i am not God and cant perform miracles (pgh is not known for possessing good credit having, full set of teeth havin, 1 baby mama or less havin brothas), i like to make things HAPPEN!! so Ivy St and i went out and bought Miss Patty Cakes a man. a mixtie man (with “good hair”). and he is GORGEOUS!! just ask her to show you her pic on FB :)

    i think she’s in love. yay for us being modern day match makers!!!!!!

    HAPPY FRIDAY!!

  45. that commercial is funny.

    the modern day matchmaker event seemed like it was successful. i wish the damn ustream wasn’t acting up.

    the chick who wrote that e-mail seemed a little affected didn’t she? *shrug*

    oh and i would say celtics in 6 if i really cared. i’m done with the NBA till the draft. go wizards. go john wall.

  46. addition to my random musings:
    i heart glee.
    im excited for madmen to come back
    nfl season needs to start earlier. just make the pre-season count and call it a day (esp since REAL injuries happen in FAKE games)

    • i heart glee.

      Glee fills me with… glee. If Glee was a man, it would have the warm spirit of KG, the boyish good looks of Chris Paul, the open-mindedness and fun spirit and body of Dhani Jones, the money of Bill Gates, the kindness of Ghandi, the swagger/smarts of Mr. President…. yeah, I heart Glee. :)

  47. Random musings of a friday morning on a fried brain:

    –> Drogba with a broken arm? Ayi dios mio! My team is done. *tears*
    –> Can’t wait for next week… aka… concert week: Jill Scott/Maxwell, Nas/Damian/Nneka, Erica/Janelle? Heaven!!!
    –> Imogen Heap is the bomb.
    –> Note to Kevin, I dreamt about you and Paul (yes I’m on first name basis with them… in my head) having dinner at mine… for you to turn around and have slippery hands? Get to it, playboy, or my affections will forever go solely to CP3 (the one who doesn’t wear a B Cup)…
    –> Eff this app I am working on. Ugh.
    –>On a bright note, looking forward to Pinot Noir at the park this evening.

    That is all.

    • I like “SPooky” By Imogen, neeed to listen to more of stuff but if you like her , you’ll LOVE Esthero

    • I absolutely must put in my 2c here.

      I thought I was like one of 15 folks that appreciated Imogen Heap! Awww man, you’re awesome. =)

      ‘Tis all for now.

  48. Glad its Friday.

    Wanna go see Get Him to the Greek….

    I’m wondering if I should even entertain someone I am not attracted to physically. its like what is the point?!? I seriously doubt he wants to be JUST a platonic friend.

    I need to stop texting certain folks, cease and desist LLS

    I wonder if Randy ‘nem throwing that thing tomorrow..

    I hope they can fix ALL those lil imperfections on my ride dammit. and phcuk people that damage other folks cars parked on the street and keep it moving like it ain’t sh*t, from door dings to bumper scratches to the mofo that appeared to want to back up on my hood o_O ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Inconsiderate inglorious bastids!!!!

  49. Random jibberish:

    ***I want waffles. Waffles with two strips of bacon on the side with a strong cup of coffee…for dinner. Tonight. I love breakfast. And breakfast loves me. Our relationship is strictly based on wholesome goodness and convenience. A perfect match made on earth in my very own kitchen.

    ***Strong winds and imminent clouds are headed this way. It might rain. On my head.

    ***Pedicured toes are so “purdy”. lifts leg and spreads toes apart

    ***Why did the UPS man (who looks like a black Elmer Fudd) just refer to me as Ms. Nino Brown. However, I am my brotha’s keeper….every other Sunday.

    ***Sometimes, I wonder if I’m reincarnated from several past lives.

    ***I wonder how much longer I can go without it.

    ***Can you feel me? Cuz I can feel you? I’m so overdue for a much needed jam session with Anthony Hamilton tonight.

    ***

    • I wonder how long too girl LLS, just don’t want it from anybody or on any terms either *le sigh*

      • @ Orange LOVES the Pretty Colors,

        Neither do I (regarding not wanting it from any Joe Blow). Because honestly, getting it is not the real issue here. Maintaining what we’ve BOTH decided to build and have together is crucial…to include several other important factors….

        I’ve long ago come to grips with why I’m not engaging myself in intimacy and whatnot. But I’m also certain that when I’m ready, I’ll put forth the effort and whatever else necessary to meet the man halfway. Until then, I’m in no rush and I’m quite proud of myself for sticking to my guns. I’m confident it will not be in vain.

  50. I love that Kia Soul commercial too! And don’t sleep on Kia man. I just got a Kia Forte Koup in “Racing Red”…it’s pretty damn nice. I’ve had at least 7 strangers, from children to adults, come up to me and tell me how nice my car is. Try that in a Honda.

  51. Your thoughts are totally random but I love it.
    Regarding the “leaked” Thank Me Later I came to the following conclusions after listening to it:
    1. Drake is in love with love just like the Libra he is
    2. Drake is officially branding himself as an R&B rap dude
    3. Drake has a good ear for beats
    4. I’m tired of Drake using auto tune
    5. Being famous is more of a nuissance to Drake than anything else
    6. This time apart from Weezy is much needed….maybe they’ll stop sounding so much alike
    7. I actually like a good number of the songs on Thank Me Later. Its a decent project but I think we all expected more in light of past projects
    8. Swizz is just Swizz…I doubt he’ll ever change
    9. Now I’m gonna wait for all the freestyles, etc over these beats from Thank Me Later

    • 1. Drake is in love with love just like the Libra he is

      YES!!! I feel the same way about Wayne too.

      8. Swizz is just Swizz…I doubt he’ll ever change

      Heard a song from Drakes album prduced by Swizz on the radio last night and it was a problem! I LOVE Swizz! That new joint with him and Busta for the Iron Man soundtrack stays on repeat.

      • 5. Being famous is more of a nuissance to Drake than anything else

        Exactly, that’s all I basically got from Thank Me Later. He probably wanted to name it “Thank Me for allowing you to be my friends, when a year ago you didn’t know me, where the eff did you come from?”

  52. Random thoughts…

    I will show up at the next event in DC Panama! Rain or shine:)

    My sister is in town visiting and I can’t express how having her here has blessed me.

    Trying to see what I am doing this weekend.

    I may go watch Just Wright today. I do need a feel good movie. Plus I can relate to Latifah’s character.

    Tomorrow morning I will be in the Susan G. Komen Race for The Cure for the first time. I am super excited about that.

    Why do men act interested and then you don’t hear from them?

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I LOVE Cheekie too:)

    • I am doing the 60 mile, 3 day Komen walk in DC in October. It will be my first one. Have a great time tomorrow and reply back on the experience. I need the inspiration. Good luck!

      • @INFJgurl that’s whats up, I know it will be great time when you go. I don’t know what to expect, but I am excited. Thank you, I will post on my experience.

        @BrokN_RecorD That’s what I am sayin!

    • “Why do men act interested and then you don’t hear from them?”

      Co-muthafuqqin-sign!!! Dont ask for the number if you dont plan to use it.

    • “I LOVE Cheekie too:)”

      Um, ya’ll tryna just obliterate any thug in me ain’t ya? I’m not gon’ cry, I’m not gon’ cry, I’m not gon’ shed no tears,… #babycuzimathug

      I love you too, Natasha!

  53. Random mess.
    Man I respect the hell out of kobe’s game and accomplishments, I really do, but can we stop with the jordan talk its just embarassing and irritating. the 96 bulls won 72 games with the foward/center spots filled by Pippen/rodman/longley(start) and bill wennington and kukoc off the bench. Now trade the 96 version of those players for the 10′ version of Bynum Gasol Odom and artest and jordan might have gone undefeated.

    End of Rant

  54. Additional random thought,

    Why do people (i.e. menfolk) who are shady in the winter start acting real friendly when the weather warms?

      • you’re showin’….

        Skin..skin..and more skin…sundresses, nice toned legs and calves and open toed heels and sandals. Its no surprise they wouldn’t appreciate the view. Right?

        Besides, the sun is known for its healing powers and has been known to brighten a person’s mood just by coming out.

        Panama….I hoped we’ve been foolish enough as e-court jesters with all this random buffoonery. So cheer up old chum and make the most out of what’s left of your birthday weekend. Its just beginning. And whatever it is shall pass, hun. And when all else fails, you still got Cheekie.

        As always, I enjoyed the read and back to back big laughs.

        Take it easy out there y’all….nighty night.

  55. Here’s a random begging musing. Can’t ya’ll link me on your Friends List? (I realize you probably haven’t updated that thang in years)

    *flashes smile*

  56. @Wu Young Agent of M.E.–Mikey Weston’s life is like a very violent Banana Republic ad.

    This is so true! Mike barely wrinkes his chinos as he avoids getting blown up.

    Do you watch Leverage too? If not, I highly recommend it.

  57. soooo i’m all types of late, but i just read this, and now i’m about to go find trouble out in the world. *evil laugh*

    anyhoo… certainly hope your year is improving as i type, Mr. Jackson.

    my random thought? …between all the e-boos and comments-to-comment conversations and PJ and Cheekie’s lovehatetionship, i think the VSB bbq/picnic/convention would result in more hook-ups than any Modern Day Matchmaker event ever could.

    jussaying.

    • “my random thought? …between all the e-boos and comments-to-comment conversations and PJ and Cheekie’s lovehatetionship, i think the VSB bbq/picnic/convention would result in more hook-ups than any Modern Day Matchmaker event ever could.”

      lol, you ain’t lyin’. ‘Cept for the “love” in “lovehationship” on my part.

    • ….which would lead to vsb + vss marriages, shattering stereotypes, ruining studies, putting steve/jimi/19,555,323 others outta bizness and adorable vsbabies!!

      *shakes fist @ champ and pj.

    • @Muze,

      …between all the e-boos and comments-to-comment conversations and PJ and Cheekie’s lovehatetionship, i think the VSB bbq/picnic/convention would result in more hook-ups than any Modern Day Matchmaker event ever could.

      You’re definitely onto something with ^^^ this. And it actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea either. Off the top of my head, I could easily pair a few folks together based on their e-personas and/or e-compatibility. Although some dudes would have more than they could handle and therefore would have to Ante Up!!! (M.O.P)….or make them concubines and chief courtesans based on ranking. LoL

      But I’d like to sit back and watch this unfold myself (lemme pull up a seat)…makes for some great verysmarthistory.

      **And PanCheekie’s infatuation with one another and their constant denial of it confirms it even more. I’m so on the edge of my seat with you two sometimes. Keep it up.** ;-)

  58. ..still trying to figure out why no one told drake to lower his decibels when he yelled all over timb’s “say something”…

    …for you drake, cherry flavored ricola (in honor of Nick_L-Odeon). you’re welcome.

    -the newbie

  59. Panama, Happy Belated Birthday! Hope this is a blessed year for you and that things turn around soon!

    2. I saw Just Wright and it was okay. I do like Queen Latifah though, and I had the pleasure of meeting her just three days after seeing the movie. I look up to her for all that she has been able to acomplish. She should be singing R.Kelly and Nas’ “Did you ever think?” Like, everyday.

    3. They seriously should just extend the Unemployment benefits. I am having WAY too much fun not working!

  60. Hmmm…I feel like sharin’…

    - Man, I gotta get some “e-friends”…y’know, folks that respond to like everything you post? But then again, does that mean I have to check my own posts everyday to verify responses? Sigh.

    -Whatever happened to REAL musicians? Y’know, folks that had to rely on their ability to hold a beat on the drums while hitting all the right notes? Maybe that’s why I love me some ?uestlove and the rest of the Roots members (tell me “Break You Off” doesn’t make you…um, well…ready to reproduce?)

    -I don’t like throwing parties…much easier to just attend as a guest.

    -My birthday is next week! Yay! This is actually the 1st time I’ll be in the country for my b-day since I turned 20. Sigh again.

    -Go-go music is seriously bangin’ (when they’re not yellin’ at you the whole time).

    -Lemon water actually is a GREAT additive to your diet if you’re looking to cut back a few pounds. I’ve been drinking it religiously these past 2 weeks and yep…I’m a believer. It works.

    -Dammit…everytime I turn around, a hoodrat comes out of hiding.
