The 80s

Let me preface this by letting you know that I'm drunk. Yes, I realize that it's 3P on a Saturday afternoon, but damnit I work hard during the week and deserve to be drunk in the middle of the day when I should instead be cleaning the bathroom and doing laundry.

I'm an avid fan of Hulu and I was watching an episode of Benson, a show that I LOVED as a child. I will now post some themes from some of my favorite shows of the 80s. You know, when everyone was skinny, hair was feathered, Reagan was king, we weren't in a recession, and families loved each other. On television. With big hair and vibrant clothing. Ok. I'll shut up now. Let me know which of these shows you loved as much as I did!


Family Ties


My Two Dads


Small Wonder


Punky Brewster (I always thought she was pulling the puppy up by his neck!)


Benson


Head of the Class


Standing TAAALLL....On the Wings of my Dreams!


Ok, this theme was just cool!


227...Did anyone else watch this?


Black people made the best caretakers in the 80s!

Success

Today I went to Express. I fit into a size 2 jeans! This is the first time this has happened since freshman year of college! Of course, the jeans had enough spandex to fill a 1980s aerobics class. And, I probably can't wear a size 2 in anything else in Express, but I had this victory. And for this, I am grateful!

Other than that, Baloo and I are going camping for the Memorial Day Weekend.

And, I've booked my flight to Japan to visit Tiffy in August! Here's to an amazing summer!

Are You Sure You Want Me to Blog?

So it's 3:00 a.m. and I'm still up. Don't worry. I've already passed out once tonight!

So I was just thinking to myself, "Did I take a Dulcolax or a Dexatrim earlier tonight?" See, I figured I'd take a laxative tonight because Baloo is out of town ice climbing, and I have a three day weekend. Why wouldn't I want to be regular? But I took the pills a few hours ago and nothing has happened as of yet. I have a lot of pills in a drawer in my bathroom and you'd be surprised how similar Dulcolax tablets and Dexatrim tablets look. Oh well, if I don't poo by tomorrow, I'll try something else.

So tonight I've been rediscovering Janet Jackson in prep for her new album drop. Currently I'm listening to Design of a Decade, Velvet Rope, and Rhythm Nation.

Sorry I don't have more interesting stories, kids. Maybe cooler things will happen later on in the weekend...stay posted!

You Still A N****r

There's a song by Trick Daddy called America. The song talks about black men achieving the American dream. The song goes on to say that you can be a Dr. or Lawyer or, let's just go there, President. And to many people, no matter your accomplishments, you're still a n****r.

You only got 2 bucks and give less than a fuck -- then you a nigga
Got a nice home and a Lexus truck -- you a nigga
World champions and you M.V.P -- you a nigga
4 degrees and a Ph.D -- still a nigga
You use your platinum card for ID's -- then you's a nigga
If your skin is brown just like me -- then you a nigga
Got a promotion and a FAT ass raise -- you still a nigga
You from the islands and your peoples wasn't slaves -- you a nigga
No matter how much your ass get paid -- you still a nigga
Shot by the cops at a traffic stop -- cause you a nigga
That's why I hold toast too
I sell bi-coastal
International
They inter-catching you with satellites in deep space
Now...Who invented niggaz in the first place?
And said America is the original birthplace?
Who gettin' 10 - 20 - Life on they first case?
My niggaz

I'm very happy for Obama's success. I think that this country is looking for a change from the status quo, and the country may think he is that beacon of change. I personally choose not to discuss politics here. However, it was this article (it's short, y'all) that made me think of the implications of a black man as president. I wonder if the country as a whole is really ready. I fear for Obama and what he may face as a black president. Do I think he can rise to the challenge? Absolutely. However, I think about his wife and his two young children and hope that they are shielded from the hatred and bigotry that will inevitably come from his possible election.

The story about Tiger Woods made me think. The man is a millionaire many times over. He is one of the greatest golfers of our time. From what I have seen in reports about him, he's dedicated to family and those less fortunate. He's an upstanding citizen. However, comments like "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley" still remain. It's sad, but I think Trick Daddy had a lot of truth to his message. No matter how successful you become and how much you blend into the established society, you're still a n****r.

Update: Sigh. I guess I've already written about this before.

Still Here

Aww...It's nice to know that I was missed.

I'm still here. A lot of fun things are happening. The job thing is chugging along....I start school on Monday....and I'm helping out with my best friend's wedding. So it's hectic around here.

Baloo and I are doing fine. We had a bit of a tiff before I left for Dallas this past weekend. Basically I throw a fit everytime things change. This time, Baloo was considering work out of state and away from his Kiki. Although I encourage him to seek his dreams, the thought of him in the woods with some wood nymph trying to steal him away makes my blood boil. I tend to be a jealous girl.

Dallas with Daddy Kiki was awesome. I had my first beer with DK. Yes, I'm 25, but he has this weird thing about drinking. So, we went to Central Market to buy some buffalo meat to make buffalo burgers (they are totally yummy) and I happened to stroll by the extensive wine and beer aisle. And I picked up some St. Arnold Pilsner and dropped it in the basket. Daddy Kiki said nothing, and we ended up having beer and burgers like normal people that night. We also took advantage of the tax free weekend in Texas where I bought some great winter outfits for work.

So yeah. That's my life right now. Nothing too exciting, but lots of opportunities on the horizon. I can't wait till things start falling into place so I can tell y'all more!

Why I Love My Job

Because while coming back to the office from lunch, one of my bosses and I had a conversation about the benefits of legalizing weed.
