The year is OVER
And good riddance to 2005. It was nothing but trouble. Like a boyfriend your parents told you not to date and you did anyway and they purposely did not say "I told you so" so that it could echo in your mind...over and over. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!
We need some New Years resolutions. NOW. We need to be
On it...but naturally.
What's good?
I. Exercise
II. Self appreciation
III. Less imbibing in alcohol/cigarettes
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM US to YOU
TODAY is J.C.'s B-Day(allegedly,
some of us think he is a Pisces). Let's see what the stars say about his day:
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
If you don't turn off the cell phone, the pager and anything else that connects you to work, even your closest loved ones won't forgive you. Why risk it? Take the day off -- the whole, entire day.
Oh yeah, let's not forget:
Here are some things we HATE in a very player hater type way and can admit to on Festivus:TOO TIRED of these two already.
Mom Fights Downloading Suit on Her OwnInstead of concentrating on killers, rapists, etc the FCC or whoever is doing this is focusing on people who don't even use their computer. This world is fucked up. Speaking of which:
Gov't Probes $39M in Katrina Aid Charges you can read the whole story
here but the messed up thing is "The spending also included $150,000 worth of Jockey underwear, six nail clippers and
$3,200 for golf carts"
Now how did those get in there???
I hope we have stories to tell about today tomorrow?
Happy Holidays!
SNAKE OIL SALES MEN AND THE MINIONS THAT WORK FOR THEM
VELMA is buying her first
new car tomorrow and this has been the best experience
Ever. The sales person was really nice and I walked away feeling like a winner.
I wish that were my life, but as you can tell from the title of my post, it probably was not.
I wanted to give the sales man "Greg" an edge up- Badly. he looked tore up from the floor up
.. most importantly, I wanted to pimp slap
Bitch azz "Curtis" the finance manager who proceeded to discuss my credit report
in front of my in laws as a means of getting back at me for bringing them in the first place. Something didn't feel right about the numbers they were giving me so I called in the big guns to help.
When mom in law called him on his figures, he wasn't too happy. The next time we sat in front of him, I thought everything was a done deal--They called the next morning to apologize for the "confusion"- offered to give me a higher amount for my trade in, so I was cool with that. When we rolled up 7 deep (in-laws, hubby and kids) Gey Cockatoo Curtis says "Since you guys have been here since the beginning, I wanted to make you aware of what i'm doing and ask you a few questions.
I am buying the car, they are just there for moral support and a second pair of eyes, why was this fool directing ANY of his conversation their way?At this point I could have sworn I was on Law and Order *dun dun*, he hit me with the
"Can you explain why you had 4 late payments in the last four years but nothing in two years?" I was thinking "bitch, are you serious??" I haven't paid it late in two freaking years but you want to know what happened back then? Like I give a flying Fluck
Then he pulls this one out his azz:
"It seems like in 2000 you had a judgement against you for $99 for a medical bill, do you know what that was for?" Butt muncher if I knew, do you think I would have let something go to collections for freaking $99?? I obvioulsy flucked up and ignored the bill and since they didn't hound me, I kept it movin'. Was it the right thing to do? Probably not, but whatever, I don't need a lesson in credit 101 from Curt the Jerk IN FRONT OF MY IN-LAWS.
And here's the Piece Des Resistance:"I see that you are on this credit card with
someone else;
*in a conspiritorial lowering of the voice* "If I were you, I would get off of it because they had a few late payments and it's bringing down your credit rating."
Is anyone rolling besides me? I am married, who else would I be on this card with besides my husband??? That bitch azz tried to get at me in front of my inlaws with an extra little kicker in it for my mother in law (for calling his shiesty butt out) by trying to say her son has flucked up credit.
From his little tirade, he would lead you to believe that I had terrible credit. It ain't great but damn, it's close to 700, can he stop acting like my azz is 1 step from chapter 11?
Biotch, I was already preapproved by my own financial institution, I don't need you for anything, I just wanted to see if I coud get a better rate.
The sad thing is he accomplished what he set out to do. The inlaws are looking at me twisted like I'm bringing down their bourgeois baby boy with my ghetto azz.
I'm still buying the car because it's a good deal and I don't have time to invest researching another vehicle that has all of the stuff that I looked for.
Very few people can get at me and really have it bother me but Gey Cockatoo Curtis got at me and won...
for now
Mr.Richard Pryor has left the building...
R.I.P. once again to a fellow Sag who happened to be born the same day as me!
Brilliantly funny and succesful in turning tragedy into triumph. He was a great pioneer in the comedic world as well as for black people in television. His exploits are imitated time and time again:
"Pryor continued performing safe, toothless comedy for another couple of years, but during a 1970 Las Vegas appearance he snapped; in the middle of the routine, he rhetorically asked "What am I doing here?" and walked offstage, effectively going underground and playing only small black clubs for much of the early part of the decade." (Dave Chappelle)
"in June, 1980 Pryor nearly burned to death, a mishap variously attributed to a freebasing accident and a misguided attempt at suicide. A long recovery period followed, as he struggled both to kick his longtime drug habit and rediscover his creative energies; a trip to Africa ultimately renewed him spiritually, and he returned to America a new man"(Dave Chappelle)
"he made headlines that New Year's Eve for drunkenly shooting up his wife's car. The incident became the basis of his opening routine for 1978's Wanted: Live in Concert, an ambitious two-record set which led to the 1979 feature Richard Pryor: Live in Concert" (Martin Lawrence)
"It was a wiser, more mature Pryor who resurfaced in 1982 with the film and album Live on the Sunset Strip, in which he discussed both his brush with death and his odyssey to Africa." (Jaime Foxx)
The movie will be highly anticipated from this camp although we are not sure about
Mike Epps playing Richard Pryor?
Mike Epps is Day-day for goodness sake:
