black friday.

Happy late thanksgiving..im super late and super lazy.. but better late than never.. im thankful for all you dedicated blogreaders! instead of sharing of the fun thanksgiving dinner i had with my great money running ego filled brained family, i'd rather share my black friday cray cray experience!

on the first note, this may be a bit racist but im sorry, i think some black ladies shouldnt be able to stay up all night and shop because they ruin peoples holiday spirits. I'll share why...but beware, it'll be long...

ive been contemplating and debating all day whether i should wake up at 3 for Old Navy to get the 5 dolla fleece, you know my people and how we get down with the cheap stuff.. it was an amazing deal, but at 930, therese asks to go with them to great mall...first off we get there hella late. and to all the people who want to try the whole great mall experience at 12... NEVER GO THAT EARLY! you'll kill yourself... go at like 4, it dies down so quick, its crazy. they'll still have all the good deals. anyway, when we get there i rush over going in and out of tall people to try and search for old navy and at last thanks to lards smart thinking we cut through the little cutty ways and found it!...only to see that the line to the register was massivly long AND i'm still waiting outside the line to GET INTO the frikin store. it was like waiting in line at disneyland.=\ as soon as i get in i manuever myself through the crowded area in search of lookin for the fleeces..and behind two red workers as which seemed to be the workers...was the bright and shiny black fleece glowing as if it was just waiting for me to just grab onto it and cherish it forever...i run to it before any of the other grouches take it..i look at the size... =\ shoot me, theres no more smalls. if it was still in the early 2000s, i woulda been happy with a large, but things change. i grab one for my uncle and grandma for xmas anyway... and get in line because i figured i shouldnt wait any longer as the line now began at the entrance, wrapped around the back, came back to the front and split into six different lines. oh please shoot me. to sum up that three hour experience wait in line, i basically shopped while i stood in line, got three jackets for refs, a thermal, and two fleece for others. =\ my arms are now sore and is in the process of growing thanks to oldnavy not providing carts. on top of that, my theory of why black women should not be allowed to shop on black friday is because...... they are grouchies of all grouches. and they're not the keep to yourself or your family grouch but the intimidating, rude, outloud, cuss grouch..

por ejemplo: our only entertainment of the morning was....first some black ladies get loud with another black man for cutting in line after waiting three hours...things get heated..all 200 people waiting in line wanted to see a fight and the indians tried to instigate by yelling at the black people...dumb much? finally security, bonquiqui, and the workers talk to the dreadhead and he finally leaves after 15 minutes of drama..as soon as he walks out literally, the WHOLE STORE is clapping. hahaha talk bout some maury! you would think that'd be the end of the grouch fest.. but no, the black lady three lines across gets very very grouchy and thinks this filipino lady is cutting in line when she just walked to her sister...calls security and the workers to snitch out the cutter...when the worker she called saw everything and told her that she wasnt cutting, the black lady had the balls to stomp her feet and go bonq on her screamin "THAT GIRL RIGH THURR JUST CUT EERYONE.." and from my distance all i could see was the worker just look confused and talked to her and she goes "arright im not gon argue with you, im just sayin we all grouchy and tired, i been waiting in line for 3 hours and i aint gon have her cut me"..DAYYYYYMMNN! thats a sign if youve been in line for three hours, youre grouchy and tired...drop your stuff and go home and sleep, geez youre not forced to buy anything!...on top of that the black lady behind me seems to get very grouchy too after three hours and decides to cuss out the indian women who wants to subtotal her things..three people ahead of us... sad thing was, i wanted to do the same, pay with diff cards for my items...=\....this lady was massive too! but thank God, after much prayer within the 45 minute time frame from the 10 feet to the register, when i arrived to the counter, i threw all my stuff onto the counter with relief..and she decides to tell my "oh girl i feel you, you just wanna get all your stuff handled..that stuff is mad heavy" with that being said, i assumed she was cool with me... but still a bit nervous...i quickly told my cashier in a very low voice with the crowds voice over mines...can i split these two items... and phewwww the black girl sure did know how to give me space!....i walked outta there in peace..while my legs were being dragged because i couldnt stand any longer.

what a black friday, what a black friday...grouchy women = a no no.. word of advice, if you grouchy stay your a _ _ home! no body needs your grouchy spirits to be shared...if you've encountered a similar experience, lmao. im sure you got great entertainment.

the end of the iverson legacy.

after 14 seasons, thanks for the great memories iverson. always will be a loyal fan.

1995-2009

Happy Birthday Ashlee!

thanksgiviving sunday.

mmm had our annual picture.. along with our amazing annual turkey dinner.. yummmay!

craycray

waiting for the pics..

and then decorated for christmas! sorry kel, this was the best one..you still look cute! haha

i think kobe just won my heart..not over iverson though. but dang!!!

the odds.

my friend young mulah sent me this as some girl from her c-writing class wrote it about the richmond girl that got raped. its pretty crazy to what you expect from this..check it out.

about: "and she told me that she was watching the news, and this is when everyone had just found out about the Richmond High gang rape and she said that she couldn't believe that people walked by and didn't do anything so she decided to write a poem about a person who did. "

Me? I'm either too nervous to bleed or hurt and deceived more
I daydream about death cause I can't find a purpose to breathe for
I feel so hopeless I close my eyes and all I see is a trigger
chronic depression from being diseased, I'm in need of a liver
on top of a mountainside, gun in my mouth, yea I'm about to die
It's almost over, I hear a distant shout and cry
I should end my life now but I, have to wait til later in time
for someone might be going through a hurt that's greater than mine
out of the car, it's then I realize that as hollow it seems
my existence might be worth something, so I follow the screams
was always told not to wallow in dreams, but tonight's greater
I turn the corner, it's now or never, my chance to be a lifesaver
as guys rape her the fright shakes her, I'm scared to lose
two huge men, I'm only 5'8 when I'm wearing shoes
far as I'm concerned my shit is done, but you won't see this kid run
so I jump on the back of the biggest one
the other one threw me to the ground, I feel my face as it aches
still it gives this girl the opportunity she needs to make her escape
I'd give anything for her to live, I'd pass on if I must
and with that said, she vanishes instantly, gone in the dust
god if I just, could get away too, please hurry this shit
I don't know how much longer I can take this flurry of fists
they're furious, pissed, I cried and they slowed
taking off in their car, leaving me bleeding on the side of the road
I awake in a hospital room with a doctor clearly walking
looking in my eyes he inquires, "can you hear me talking?"
I told him I could, then I thought I saw him shiver
as he informed me, "a man here offered to give you a new liver...
... you see I wasn't gonna tell you, but I thought it better you knew...
... oh, and also, the man who donated it left a letter for you"

to my anonymous friend:

"I give you this as a gift, now you may just wonder
why I did, and it's because my days are numbered
be grateful from this moment, make sure your time is better
I hope you remember me, cause you'll be in my mind forever"

and then, on the page engraved like a potter...
it read,
"p.s., you're a brave man. thanks for saving my daughter."

i've been working at the UCSF Cancer Center for almost 4 years. cancer is not a life ending illness. taking life itself for granted is the life ending illness. i may have to remind myself from time to time that life is worth everything. granting we all go through dark hours and we will, but the thing is going through it, not sitting in it. at some point the wonder of being alive and having the chance to live your life is all you need to get up and keep moving. fill those photo albums, write in your journals, and tell loved ones that you love them. do all the things in life that don't have price tags attached to it. -The sciolist.

oprah harpo.

=(..oprah show will be ending in 2011.. how depressing, i was hoping someone would send in a big note begging for their friend/sister/daughter/cousin/or neice to meet iverson. =(..i guess my dreams will be gone when oprah is gone. no more expanding my horizons by easily tuning into her round the world stories.

an excerpt from the article :"She explains how to turn on electric lights, shows them how to recognize the 25-cent coins used for the laundry machines, and helps them understand what sanitary napkins and diapers are and how to use them."

“When we left, we were worried someone would tell the government, so we didn’t say goodbye,” he said quietly. “I thought maybe I would come back if the journey was too hard. I didn’t even tell my mother we were leaving.”

i cant wait...

...till they re-retro them out this year. i think this will be my forever last jordans to purchase..the last one i bought was the blk/red XIV's, ironic enough that the og XIV's were the first pair of jordans i bought also.. zang, i cant believe jordan prices have shot up since i stopped by them.........=( hopefully i can cop these..it'll feel like freshman and sophomore year of high school alll over again.

a nicely woven spider web with drips of rain on it...anyone know how to pull out a spider web without ruining it?... i even tried spray painting it.

and while eating out today at some restaurant out in the richmond district, before leaving mi hermana stole one of their magazines because of course, who wouldn't.... but jim and pam were on the cover! ...if you havent seen the office episode of their wedding, you missin out!

and for nicole, your all time fav. with her OG 1's on.

free ski lift ticket if you buy admission to the convention..or something along the lines of that.. its like a sample sale where they sell all the cheap junk for snowboarding/skiing. don't miss out if youre a winter sport fan!

Va'Shaundya, i hope you find a better man who is not playa and doesnt tweet 247, yo momma jokes on twitter.. AND doesnt have a love child!

throb throb

i still cant get over how old he's become..along with every kid heart throb that grew up with me in the 90s. por ejemplo: nick carter, jtt, hanson, justin timberlake,andrew keegan, A.C. slater, and etc.

just for some advice, make sure this doesnt happen to you cause it'll sure take you off the throb throb list!

christmas time is here, christmas time is here...lets all give a cheer to the best time of the year.

...hint- a bunch of allen iverson junk is on sale everywhere! what a steal for this recession!

end of an era

times have been really crazy this year. 2009 is def not the year.

i was born and raised in this neighborhood and some things i've learned from this neighborhood will never leave my heart.. This block will def miss Grandpa Ernie. Thanks for the look out and watchin out for us. we'll miss the morning waves and you sittin on the porch on the lookout even at 5 in the mornin along with the drama you've given everyone in this neighborhood. see ya up there one day. =\

happy 40th to sesame street.

pager code status.

isnt it ironic

how "The people you love hurt you the MOST."

on the entertainment end.

word on the streets Sway cut his dreads! ...and iverson grew his braids, and i will admit but not in person that yes, iverson does need to retire but give him a break who wasnt playing this bad at that age towards the retirement days ...ahem even worlds great baller michael jordan sucked at the ends of his careers.

who remembers tia and tamera mowry's little brother tahj. super cute smart guy boy...disney channel commercial in his massive puberty days... now rapper?!...for a second he looked filipino..but boy, was i not expecting that.


on other news, for all those people who grew up with nickelodeon at great america, say goodbye to them because last sunday was their last day at great america! cali's so broke they got rid of that and word on the street is peanuts (like knotts berry) is taking over. =\ goodbye slimetime.

and chris brown tweeting this. its kinda sad. =\. s*** happens, i think they should get back together, its not like rih rih didnt fight back. you know they still love each other its just the media is making the situation worse like jon n kate

fearlesssssss

"The only way to conquer fear, is to face fear right in the eye."

i was watching my dear lovely Oprah yesterday and her show was on Stepping outside of the box...aka meaning to step aside from your comfort level and do things you never thought you would do. And the oprah theme was based on these five girls who step outta their box which was one, roller derby, skydiving, and skinny dipping. Its pretty crazy cause all these ladies never thought they would actually do any of these things in their life time until this came into the picture. and when you see them doing the skydiving one especially, it was crazy and they were terrified but once they got back onto the floor and landed, they felt invincible like they could do anything now!

I was just thinking that its crazy how our fears work. Sometimes we have these weird phobias and fears that are just outta this world. But in order to face your fear and get over it...you really do have to face it in the eye. I used to be so afraid of heights until i forced myself to go on all these rollercoasters..and now its not even roller coasters...i wanna skydive now too!!! i think that will completely get over my fear. Along with spiders...i used to be deathly afraid of them little things, until i moved downstairs back in my daly city home that i began living with spiders! and now i can kill them like its nothing, or even just watch them walk past me without screeching. And dogs? the thought of dogs just killed me. i cant even run freely on the beach because the dogs will attract my fear and think im playing with them.. until i met my little friend chloe, a yorkie...who has slowly gotten the fear of dogs outta me. and its crazy how all this works.. its really just facing your fears right in the eye. For me, i think the thrill of it is what amazes me.

i just thought i'd share that because i know a lot of people fear many things, its stepping outta the box that will change your life and if anything enhance and expand your horizons about your own self.... AND because im planning on going on some adventure rage when i have the money and i hope you could crazily join...

puma lovahs..

so true.

"People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together" -Marilyn Monroe

empire state of fashions.

for you empire state of mind lovahs.. theres a live performance without the lovely interuption of lil mama reppin NY, i think she tried gettin a hold of some ticks, but they made sure she didnt. haha or i could just be making that up... but two thumbs up for no awkward lil mama!


oprah also told me that the above the knee boots from the 80s are back (what a. keys is wearing in the vid)... ARE WE SLEERIOUS? i dont think they're cute..then again, im not very fashionable like rih rih. but whats with the retro everything coming back?..are we goin to be dressing like flappers soon after this stylish fashion of the 80s and 90s are gone... kinda scary...before you know it, we'll be all dressing like large white 1910 poofy dresses with the shower cap hats...and still pull it off?! o man.

talk about a bit awkward with a touch of clumsyness. haha

"One small thing can make a BIG difference."

howlaweeen.

I love halloween, not because of all that devil, hell, satan stuff..but simply because its just one day out of the year where you get to look goofy, silly,slutty and craycray and still be normal! well kinda..but its fun to see everyone be cray cray with you. im not going to upload all the pics from the weekend because theyre all up on fb, so steal if youre in them!....

to the people who arent my friend on facebook or don't have one...heres a bit of my halloween...the first top picture is me and my little painter joshy up for grabs to paint your shack!(he didnt show his paint brush) and my tide bottle.
below is my not so happy bout celebrating halloween with me family... haha don't forget Jesus is the reason for the season!....according to my dads every season sweater. haha

i hope you all had a funtastic howlaweeeeners ...and Hope to see you dresss up next year!
