Get Him to the Greek

So, I like comedies *right right* and from the looks of this month and next there is a shitload of movies that I can't wait to see. This particular movie caught my eye because it's either gonna be funny as fuck or it's gonna be shit on a stick.

Jonah Hill (Superbad), Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and P.Diddy (take that take that) are the main characters of the movie. It's directed by Nicholas Stroller, whoever he is, and the movie will be out in theaters 06.04.10. Let us all hope it won't be a fail.

Fruit Bars

Edy's Fruit Bars
.THE MUTHAFUCKIN BEEZNEEZ.

Like, no bullshit. You should really go out and by these popsicles. They're extremely addictive and they're made from REAL fruit. C'mon nah, that shit is like sinfully delicious-ness. The ones' I would advise you to get is the box containing the strawberry, lime and rasberry fruit pops.

Enjoy

Lupe-I'm Beamin

I been waiting on this video (literally).
he anounced that it was finished 04.25 then said it was going to be released at 8pm on 04.26. Didn't happen.lol. But he finally released it and I'm beyond happy (thanx to @CourtlandBurton; follow him)
welp,here it go...

Pac Div-ey

New Pac Div titled "Don't Mention It".

I just finished listeningto the mixtape, it's rather nice.

download here, I'm sure you'll enjoy it too.

Eco Friendly Make-Up.?

Bamboo is the new "It" make up thing, apparently. I seen some of the products at a local CVS and I didn't pick it up. For those who don't know I only wear eye liner, but this bamboo frenzy caught my attention. EcoTools ( shown on the left ) is a collection of brushes made from bamboo, synthetic taklon bristles and recycled aluminum. The actual make-up called Bamboo Wear ( shown on the right) is suppose to re-new and condition your skin. It's hypoallergic, fragrance-free and oil-free. I might consider using the products if all oft he "facts" are true. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Fuck a Perm

Now, I don't want to brag but, my hair is cold. Whether it's done or not, I love it.

If you're a chick like me, who want's their shit to be bouncy and not THAT STIFF BULLSHIT, than this is the perfect remedy. It's called Fantasia Frizz Buster and you can get it from your local beauty supply. All you have to do is wash,condition, add that shit in while it's damp, blow dry, press, then flatiron. That FUCKIN SIMPLE, NO PERMS NECESSARY.

House Party

I like this one better than the regular version

Highlight of my week ( 4.11 - 4.17)

Yes, I am late posting this. Excuse my laziness.

The highlight of the week, shit, MY LIFE would have to be the Lupe Fiasco and B.O.B "Steppin Lasers"tour at the Royal Oak Music Hall. Besides myself being extremely short and almost punching some one, I would have to say that I haven't felt so good lip singing to my favorite songs since like...the shower. Here go my crappy pics. Not of the performance though.

Long ass line

My ticket

Now, if you want to see some quality pictures you can go to the official Lupe Fiasco Blog, LupE.N.D Blog

Shout out to Michelle's Pictures making it to the blog

Employee of the Month

So I thought of this post thing that I believe I should do monthly. Why not grab a random photo of a cool ass person (that I know of course) and say at least 5 things about'em. Either by their request or like...my thoughts. Therefore.....

The Employee of the Month

is

Brandon

1. YO...he eats' tha' puss and he's not ashamed to admit it.
2. He's a sweetheart.
3. He's an artist, that's what he tells me.
4. Brandon has lost 14lbs since March ( without that extra bullshit).
5. Follow him on twitter @CallmeBSmith
   

Inspiration

A poem by Angela Davis
entitled "What Do I Know"

What do I know
What can I know
What fine lessons
What have been taught

I know the pain-
bitter, burning
as it poisons
my very soul

Oh, humiliation-
now that is a long word
with a larger effect
shame, heaped upon oneself

I know despair-
hopeless, wanting
needing, dying
from inside out

Now the degradation-
there is yet another
treated like you are less
and worse, feeling like less

How I know suffering
and much mental anguish
it's intolerable
death would be a release

What it is like
to be haunted
by memories
regret, sorrow

Then survival-
insufficient
an existence
does not mean life

I know wondrous hope-
giving me reason
to continue on
with this thing called life

Determination-
there is a big word
the will, and desire
to fight and strive- live

What about the joy-
of simply being
you and that is all
and that is enough

Then there is love, sweet love-
the biggest word of all
giving hope, and freedom
it is beautiful

What do I know
What can I know
What fine lessons
What has been taught

Without the bad
we would never
APPRECIATE
what good we have

Concieted Moment

It's on my Facebook ( Mani Bo-Peep )

It's on my Twitter ( @imaniAOchic )

Shit...it's on here.!

I fuckin LOVE this picture of myself

that is all

Big X's and Big O's

So, I'm sitting here on twitter and watching Project Runaway. While doing that some random ass thought in my head said," Imani, you love your bestfriends", and I responded back like a creep-o saying," you know what whateveryouare I do, I think I should write about 2 of them, my faves". Neither one of them bore me or annoy me n whatever. WELL...blah blah blah..I'm talkin heads.lol...let me get detailed with these two.

Ahhhhhh....Diante, I always think I spell your name wrong, but besides that. This young whippa snappa is one of the brightest guys I know. I swear when we first had our first convo I thought that he was my age or older because of how he carry himself. We're always seeing eye to eye on almost everything, music, clothes..whatever.! Yes..we give eachother advice on relations and relationships, but, regardless of his hoes telling him that he is mean blah blah blah they will soon learn that they should've quit bitchin, because my bf is on his shit.....AND HE'S NOT MEAN,Y'ALL WHORES ARE DUMB & CHILD-LIKE...excuse my tourettes. I love this guy, he's a on his way to being an successful photographer and he's also focused.............................................Boyshorts & flapjacks

Malcolm ARMANI Muhammad.!!!!! Man O' Man it's a small world. If I didn't know Darrick [ Akbar X (lol ) ] then we would've just been, I dunno, not bestfriends. The first time I peeped out anything about him, he wrote some shit about tinkerbell that was sooooooo cold to me and it wasn't even homo. We haven't be through that much, because of my parents. Like when him and his friend (my friend too) Corey came all the way from nowheres land to the Eastside and had to leave like 15 minutes later. Yeah, that was some bullshit. I cried like a bitch when his flight delayed, but I was happy when we hung out when he came home. I-Hop & Lazer Tag...You always make me feel better when I'm sad and all that other gay shit, I love you pal, Roll one up nigga ( I'm lying )

The End.lol

Wayne State: Wiz and Curren$y concert

Pretty Nice
Everyone was high
Curren$y talkin' about shadows and kitchen floors
Wiz spittin' my favorite songs
College kids, musicians and some hipsters
overall...
You had to be there

pictures taken by yours truly and my pebbles.!
more pics coming soon

Something you should be up on.!

I feel like a big sister.lol

I'm always out supporting these young cats (Chuck Good and Everyday Jay). And nooo it's not because they're mad cool (which they are) or because blogging is something to do or even just to mooch off of anybody.Which a lot of people do,but this isn't their time to shine,now is it. I believe that they should be heard. Low key,some of you "oldies" (YES OLD PEOPLE...well adults) should sit back and take notes. Like within everybody that I know, I enjoy ALL of their music. Not bits n' pieces.(and jamsessions). I have not been disappointed yet.!!!C'mon nah..can we say HIGH.LIFE.!?If you can't,your loss.
This lil Detroit movement going on is making me proud and is going to blow up in the critics face.We gotta start somewhere.?Right.?..Why not start young,with....The CHASERS

Real Talent...No bullshit on this blog

Okay, remember last year when you asked me to sketch something with your name.? Oh, you don't.? I did.lol. So what did I do.? I spazzed to my grand selection of music.lol. on the back of a tuition college paper thingy.!? (I'm starting to despise college papers already)..anyway
I was thinking 'bout ya and your new blog thingy,so here's your gift from me =].
"I ain't Picasso..but that ain't important"

IM BACK.!!!..with The Ecstatic

WWHHHHHAAAOOOOOOOO.!!!

So, I'm a year late(by the way..happy new years people of America)I knew I should have looked deeper into Mos Def's "The Ecstatic" once I have heard "Casa Bey." The video was nice too. Thanks to Jason (yea..Mani shouts you out =] ). It took a song to inspire me and to blog about it...that song is Roses feat. Georgia Anna Muldrow. I've been sleep.lol. I'm still dwelling on "Black On Both Sides",peep the cover art on the right hand side of your screen.lol.

I can admit that I shed some tears listening to Roses. Gotta love good music that hits the heart. here's the link to the song..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=707C8ULPUqg..Shouts out to the random guy who put that on youtube...2 points for you.

Anyhoo...The Ecstatic
I can't make you love it,but i recommend it. It reminds me of a classic Mos Def ,70ish Roy Ayers with sprinkled Jimmy Hendrix flakes (on Supermagic). Good Icecream.?lol.I still think that Talib Kweli and Mos Def should do another album,especially after hearing "History".

"Lay off the bacon and the smoke"

Well..that's all about that..peace♥.
p.s. 24hourKarateSchool....listen to it.!

lmao..gotta love the dork

I know..I know..I'm like a year late..whatever.
-but-
I swear this is probably one of the most Ha-Ha-larious videos i have seen in a while.
Not only is Cudi dope..but he's a complete dork,makes my insides chuckle a little.
Which I like.lol.`♥

Thanks Theo for posting this video on my facebook page =]
2points for you pal

Identity Theft

okay..

this note is for those who tend to express themselves,through others.Sounds kinda remedial,yea.I know. I wrote something similar like, ehh, last year,apparently folks still don't get the point.I'm not talking down to anybody. I want 2 encourage peeps to invest in self-love `♥

tough love..I guess..whatever

Question: Why are we so unhappy with ourselves..as an individual.?

I mean,a lot of peeps wont admit the shit that I'm about to say*my opinion of course*. Many are either unhappy,ashamed or embarrassed with their true self. SOOO...they imitate the norm (typical blahzehsplee).I define that as:Those who wear the same clothes/shoes, talk the same..*shouts*..wear the same FUCKIN hair, ponytails whatever. (CLONES). They already cant think for themselves.smh.

*anyhoo*

If you are trying to fit in with "those" type of people,your pathetic. Or if you walking around trying 2 be something that you KNOW your not,I would call that self-hatred. I mean,you can tell who has a genuine personality oppose to those who just do shit for respect.

I'll respect you as a person...not a poser. There is a reason why you look the way you look. who said there was anything wrong with being weird, different, whatever.? OBVIOUSLY you have a mind of your own. Don't let people, TV and magazines tell you otherwise.

FEMALES
Why are we so obsessed with having another persona;Or wanting to be the next broad. No telling if she sucked a lil thang thang back in her day. lol. Just because you want a tad bit more attention doesn't mean you need to broadcast yourself in the most negative way. If a guy cant respect you for being you,fuck'em. He is a waste of your life. Don't stress perfection either or live up to someone's expectations,that's pointless. Also why do everybody wanna be a Kardashian, Harajuku or a Minaj.??A barbie,a marie or even having chell at the end of everything. Even if it is irrelevant to their actual name and just because it sounds cute. smh. I hate seeing peeps who steal others photos,then photo "shopped" it to make it look authentic. Is it that serious 2 lie 2 that public and yourself.? Which you're hurting by the way.

GUYS
The softest negroes all of a sudden wanna be so tough. Plenty of guys start off being respectful, considerate, charming, you know, a gentleman. Then because they get the impression that girls like "REAL" niggas *bullpoo* or they wanna get respect from a random group of guys they transform into the "bang bang shoot'em up 7mile better mile" bullshit(which isn't cute by the way). Oh,and all that "I get this and that, I only wear these on my ass hooblah". Aye YO...........................Who really care.???? You're setting yourself up to get robbed and failure because niggas don't care.Yo' money and pride wouldn't care either. And all that pride keeps guys from really being themselves, especially when it comes to how a guy really feel instead of rehearsing the same old redundant lines. You all should show some respect and courtesy. Maybe you will find that "wifey" or "real bitch" you want. Even though I don't really like those terms.


So with what I stated above,love yourself. I don't give a fuck if you dance to country music,eat boogers or entertained by nick jr.WHATEVER.!? Don't let anybody tell you that what you are doing is strange or abnormal. That one random thing that you do makes you special. Embrace your weirdness. Normal people are boring and smell like old lettuce n taco meat. lol. Life is not twitter*meaning*QUIT FOLLOWING THE HYPE.
if we had more leaders,no telling what we ,as youth, can do pretty much anything.


peace.&&.love
