nikkogray: #ARTGOON applebird: What is an #artgoon ? @Brasspix presents “Art Goon’in” ep1 feat @afta1 , @utblifestyle & @speakz ! That’s an interesting way to define it. I can’t say I support being a “Goon” but there is no rule about what type of lifestyle an artist should be living.

Testing my creativity
Seriously … this TA job is really testing me.  Everything I’ve thought of to make this class better has been, shot down because of some rule or something the teacher didn’t like.  I’m a student first, so do not expect me to re-do work that already took me hours to do because you don’t like it. You needed a TA to improve your class so obviously your way of doing...

The Floacist - Let Me Beautiful Video. How can a video so simple be so intense, maybe it’s the beauty maybe it’s the initial shock. I’m not sure. Some people may never be this comfortable with their body.

honeymolasses asked: I stalk your blog and I want to meet you someday. (I'm not playing :)) But I love how intelligent you come across and you post quality information worth taking the time out to read. And congrats on your hair! Not a lot of women have the balls to do that. I'm also natural and will be locing my hair in the near future. Hope you have fun with that. You'll get a job, don't worry :)

People complain about things, like WSHH, because...
1. That’s a broad complaint, there was both white and black people on that site that were featured in a negative manner. It’s not as popular as it seems, a lot of people do not even know about it; so if anything the representation as done on a very small scale. I wouldn’t even compare it to BET.   2. I doubt many of these people are going to take the initiative to create...

You are a Slave: Real Housewives of Atlanta
All this talk about being a slave is where I have to question my own sanity for sitting through this show. When a white woman (Kim) says to her black assistant “If you felt like a slave would you tell me” that is a little crazy. How do you answer that question. Even if that assistant, likes her job there is no way she felt pride about her position at that moment. And it’s sad...

Back to School Tomorrow
That means: Automatic Diet because everything here is overpriced Books I cannot afford but the teacher wrote it and he wants even more of my money Teachers who think this is the best school in the country so they assign to much work Those twice per year “black parties” that the school lets us have in the student union. Which I always go to when I know I leave early because of men...

Keith Olbermann: No Longer The Best Thing on MSNBC →
IF YOU ASK ME … this is a mistake There is no way that I would agree with the fact that his show will no longer be on. Anderson and Keith were my favorites. Now it’s just me and Anderson.  Just me and CNN. No more excitement from MSNBC.

School on monday … can’t...

This teacher definitely just called my phone.
Awkward.  And I knew it was her, something told me don’t answer. DONT ANSWER.  But, I went against my better judgment and set myself up.  Longest 30sec conversation of my life.

Matt and Kim - Cameras (New Video! Dropped Today!) This is DEFINITELY going to be one of my favorite videos of 2011 just because it’s not what I expected and you actually wanted to see what would happen next. They always have cool videos. I couldn’t stop watching it, but I would’ve been exhausted if I had to make it. Love this song! (Matt and Kim link)

At first I thought our break was too long.  Now … I’m starting to wish I would’ve actually taken a break during this break. Less work and more naps.

The Tudors
Does anyone else watch this show? I’ve been sitting here for 2 days watching The Tudors. BBC is doing a marathon of every season and I am officially addicted. I know this show is based on real events with creative license to twist the truth but damn … I thought times were crazy today. This shit is unbelievable.
