• We moved to LA September 2008, and I LOVE our new place.
• No kids yet, but hopefully this year we'll get pregnant.
  

New focus this year

Well hello everyone. Thanks for stopping by.

I haven't blogged in a loooooooooooooong time (as you can see). But, I feel it's time to start up again. This time, it won't be so much pop culture (but it will be some, because I am Quanah, and that's what makes me tick.lol).

I'm really going to try to post things at least 2 or 3 times a week, if not every day. Also, I want to start a series (from my screenplay that I wrote about 9 years ago).

Welcome to 2010 and to my blog.

I'm Still Here

I'm not sick anymore, but I'm not yet 100%. I'll probably post a few things tomorrow.

Happy Martin Luther King Day. Remember the Dream!

The Flu

Ugh! I have the flu, which is why I haven't posted. I feel like shit and I can hardly breathe. Everytime I move I moan. Ugh!

See you next week.

First Week of 2008 (No Pics)

1. Britney Spears. Wow, Britney really knows how to stay in the news! I'm actually sad for her. Obviously she's crazy as shit, and everyone knows it. She's fallen so hard, and it's really messed up. Especially since she's only 26 years old. She should still be in her prime. Oh well. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs.
2. Southern California's weather. It's kind of weird lately. Hot, chilly, and now it's raining like crazy. I was out this morning, and it was hailing.
3. Beyonce and Jay Z...are they or aren't they married? I beleive they are. Hell, it took them like 3 years to admit they were dating. It's cool if they are, because they are a good couple. I just hope they adopt...
4. New York and Tailor Made. I can not wait for the reunion tonight. Like I've said many, many times before, VH-1 is my crack dealer. I think I need to have an Intervention. As much as I hate to admit it, I know I will be watching Celebrity Rehab and Flavor of Love 3. Ugh...
5. Ice T and CoCo. I know her coochie must hurt. Her pants are always sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tight. That's not natural and sometimes kitty needs to breathe.
6. TV. I need some new episodes of my shows (The Game, Girlfriends, Dirty Sexy Money, Ugly Betty, and Women's Murder Club). This strike is killing me.
7. Music. The newest CD I have is Alicia Keys' new one. It's pretty good. It sounds really raw and gritty. I like that she doesn't sound too polished. I recommend it.
8. Movies. I haven't seen a movie in a while. It's some that I didn't see that I wanted to see: American Gangster, Sweeny Todd, Why Did I Get Married. I'll catch them on video/cable.
9. The Hills. I have never watched any of that show or Laguna Beach. I don't need to watch it to know what's going on. I have a subscription of Us Weekly, and I know everything that's going on with them...and I think Heidi and Spencer are faking. He's kind of cute, in an asshole way.
10. Whew...I'm done with this little list. I think I might just do this once a week. Still not sure how this format will be. I'm always open to suggestion.

Sad Personal News

A friend of mine from work killed herself on or around New Year's Eve. She was found by her dad in her room. She was only 24 or 25 years old.

Melissa Gomez was a beautiful, smart, crazy/funny, cool chick who liked decaf coffee and was a vegetarian. It's hard for me to really beleive it happened.

We love you Melissa =) Rest In Peace.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy 2008!!

I hope everyone's year is the best year ever.

New Blog

Hello friends, please check out my cousin's new blog. She just started it today.

Raz B

Ok, what the hell is going on with this shit? He took it back, but his brother didn't. I beleive, like damn near everyone else, that he was molested. This isn't the first time someone has said stuff like this. I think if he just comes out and admits it, it'll open the door to this horrible situation, and he could become a hero for a lot of guys who have had this happen.

Posting Schedule

As I restart my blog, I had to think about how often I would be able to post. I know it won't be every day. But, it will at least be once per week.

I work a "regular" job (M-F, 8-4), and I'm starting to go back to the gym, so I won't be able to post all the breaking news as it happens. But, I will be here to comment on the bullshit tha happens.

Later.

Personal Updates

* I got my first, and possibly only, tattoo for my birthday this year (pictured right). It's on my right ankle. It's a design I've wanted for a long time, and Jason got it for me for my birthday. It hurt like a muthafucka, but I'm so glad I got it.

*I'm still engaged, and our wedding date is Spring of 2008. I'm very excited.

*Also, we'll be moving around the time of our wedding, which is cool. We currently live in a 1 bedroom, and we'll be moving to a 2 bedroom (gotta make room for the chil'ins). So, by 2009, we'll have some little rugrats, and I can't wait. I'm damn near 30, so my clock is tick, tick, ticking.

*I've changed my major since last year. It's now Psychology. I had to start all over with math classes, so I'll be in community college until spring 2009, which sucks. But, whatever. I can't go back so I have to deal with it.

*I still love my job. I think I'm one of the few there that does.lol

*I hope my blog is entertaining and informative. If not, let me know.lol

Brandy Could Be Free

I'm happy to report that Brandy might not be at fault for the horrible car crash that resulted in a woman's death last year. (Dlisted and Media Take Out have more details on the story).

I like Brandy and I can only imagine how messed up she has felt over this whole situation. Add to that her dumb ass (although nicely built in the crouchal area.lol) brother releasing that sex tape (come now...don't be daft), she's had to smile through a lot of pain.

Jamie Lynn continues the Spears Legacy

How many actually thought that this whole teen pregnancy thing was just going to end with her being preggers?

Of course we have to have the "who is the daddy" thing going on. I mean, come on now, Lynn and Jamie are her parents...and that means there's more than meets the eye.

I heard it's Lil Romeo's baby. Now that would be AWESOME ( and I don't even say that word). Master P and Britney Spears at the same baby shower...where do I sign up?

Oh well, we shall soon see.

New York and Tailor Made

I just read on People that New York and Tailor Made are now engaged...after he proposed to her (again) on the reunion show. Why did they spoil it? It would have been a nice surprise to see her accept. Oh well, I'm sure there still will be much drama come January 6th. I can't wait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!

I had to shout out my cousin/sister/hero Nicole Johnson. Today is her 5th anniversay of being 25!! Whoo hoo!

I love you Nicole.

Pictures

I just wanted to state that any pictures of celebs that I use will be from other sites. I don't need any controversy, and I will always say where I got the pictures from.

Amy Winehouse

I love her crazy ass. I really want her to get some help cause her voice is amazing.

If you haven't bought "Frank", her first CD...please do. It's at least 20 times better than "Back To Black". As soon as you hear it, you'll be shaking your head talking about, "Damn Amy...".

It's that good.

Chris "Muthafucking" Stokes

Ok...who was surprised about Raz B's allegations? I sure wasn't.

• I was surprised that Marques Houston's sister was amazed that something like that could have happened to her brother.
• I was surprised that Chris is actually on the phone saying he doesn't do that anymore...damn...
• I was surprised that Raz's brother was fixing his blunt on camera.
• I was surprised that Raz bounced back from that mohawk, tight pants, cherry lipgloss phase. He actually looks manly. Good show.

Guess Who's Back

Happy Holidays!!

No, I didn't die and come back...well my blog did. lol

I'm back and I think I'll actually keep up this time. I have so much to say about pop culture and other random stuff. I feel the need to have my voice heard.

Anyway, I'll post some things about things in a moment. Thanks for stopping by.
