So first off let me wish you all a happy monday. I'm pretty sure all of the Steeler fans out there are enjoying this Monday with a lack of voice perhaps, because the Steelers have booked their flights for Dallas. PITTSBURGHS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL, HERE WE GO. I'm so excited and not to mention, I have no voice LOL. But we are on our stairway to 7.
Next, I start my new job today and I am ever so excited. The hours aren't the greatest but hey "get it how you live" right? I shall have more details about it once I get off tonight. :)
Lastly, I went thrifting this morning and found some really great stuff yet again. Now at my old job, I really didn't have a specific dress code so my work attire was a lot more laxed than in my new office setting. So of course, I was faced with slim pickins in my closest and I ended up at the thrift store this morning. 26.94 well spent. I picked up two blazers, two pair of dress pants, and three shirts. SCORE. (pictures to follow)
Currently listening to: James Morrison, Undiscovered, The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore.
I hope you all are having an excellent monday.
Peace.
Ugh,
I haven't been motivated to blog at all whatsoever. However, being that I have absolutely nothing to do at 6:35 on a Tuesday evening I decided to update my blog. Oh Joy.
Anywho, its snowing here in Pittsburgh. blahh. i can think back to last winter's snowing fiasco and i had some great memories anddd i'm only hoping to make some new one's. :)
With that said, lets get into what i'm supposed to be blogging about. First, I missed my Music or maniac monday series so here it is.. Weekend Recap: hmm, I went out with Courtney and Nana on Friday night. Had lots of fun. uhh, saturday I worked and hung with Courtney and Tarra and watched movies and drank margaritas. & Sunday I worked again...blahh. Music: ahhhh, so I love love love Kanye West, not a huge fan of Jay-Z but OMG I freaking love his verse on this song. The song that I am totally obsessing over is titled H.a.m and it features Kanye West and Jay-Z. They are supposedly supposed to be releasing a 5 song album later on this year, once I here more info I will be sure to update you all. Oh yeah H.A.M. stands for hard as a muthafucka, i think lol.
anywho, i'm currently listening to it as I type and just bobbin my lil head right along to it. Usually I would do a breakdown buuuttt, I just don't feel like it. In my opinion the song is dope, its a must download!!
as always here's the link to the youtube mess...
Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really I’m like really half a billie nigga Really you got baby money Keep it real with niggas Niggas aint got my lady money --Jay-Z
Next up, I decided to talk about Verizon finally getting the Iphone. They held a press conference this morning informing the world that they will finally sell IPhones. However, they didn't announce any data plan details but from what I'm hearing, they will mirror AT&T's. A plus is that they will enable an iphone to be a hotspot which is DOPE, a negative is that you won't be able to talk on the phone and browse the web. Advantage AT&T. February 3rd marks the date that existing Verizon customers can pre-order their new phones and February 10 is when other customers will be able to purchase the phones. I'm excited because my mother will finally be able to get an Iphone and I can bug her with FaceTime and other junk. The sad thing is I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because I am a current AT&T customer, and have been for the past 4 years. But if the Verizon bill is any cheaper I will most definitely switch, but not until the new Iphone is released in July. ;)
What are your thoughts?

Helllloooo,
So I'm back to my regular blog rundown since I'm back from vacation.
Weekend Recap:
This pass weekend was phenomenal to say the least. I partied with my close friends in DC for NYE and boy did we have a blast. It was VIP areas, liquor filled, all around fun and I would so do it again soon, just not in boring Pittsburgh. I also strained my vocal chords because of that crazy weekend but don't regret it because I really don't have to say to anyone at this point. Monday Morning:
I received a phone call this morning that my afterschool program funding had been cut due to a poor fiscal year and I have been down in the dumps since. I really love my students and I am deeply saddened that our program was cut. I'm going to miss them all terribly. Now I'm stuck on the hill in a program with students whom I barely know, after school. I guess it's back to the drawing board. I was born to be a leader and I honestly do not want to be a counselor at this program.
Now let's get to the music portion. Hmmmm..I'm going to do two artists for this Musical Monday. The first one I know very well. He was my middle into high school boo and although we went our separate ways, we have been great friends ever since. He is making strides in the music world and I am so proud of him. He goes by the name of Cashtro Crosby, but I will always identify him as Jah'Nyah. I was pleased to hear that he would be opening for my second artist later this month and I immediately contacted him and demanded he get me an autograph lol. Anywho my second artist is the one & only, Big Sean. Goodness, just reading that name after typing it turns me on. I'm in complete lust over this man and just would melt if I ever got the chance to meet him.
Back to the music.
My DC drive was filled with nothing but Big Sean, Wale, Lupe, Cudi, Yeezy amongst other music. So I figured I would introduce you guys to a mixtape that has been in constant rotation in Yolanda (my truck, lol)
Title: Finally Famous Vol. 3 Artist: Big Sean Favorite Track: Supa Dupa Lemondae Freestyle Rating (out of 10): 10 ! Comment: This seriously is a must download ! Link: Click Here
I can not wait until I will be able to do a review on Jah'Nyah's first album. But here are links and other good stuff to hear some of his music. :)
Latest song: Jealousy (2011).. I freaking love this song. "this my new edition no prerogative like Bobby"
Ahhhhh. So 2010 is finally coming to an end. I must say this was an okay year for me. I had plenty of positives; graduation, new job (possible career), great friendships, & a great son. Now I would be lying if I said I didn't have any negatives as well. Broken hearts, loss of friendships & too much drama. Overall, things have slowed down towards the end of the year.
I was hoping to create some meaningful resolutions but I don't have time to complete them. So I pretty much created a strong statement to simplify it all.
Live life, have no regrets, make decisions on a whim & love hard.
I'm kind of bummed I'm not going to spend time with the person I wanted to this NYE but I'll survive, I'm hanging with great friends.
I hope you all have a great NYE, drink responsibly, be safe & most importantly have fun.
Peace. Love. Leos.
Okay, so I know I'm supposed to dedicate half this post to music but I'm posting from my phone rather than my computer since I'm out of town & I just don't see that happening.
I won't be following my usual blog rundown this week since I am out of town but I will be posting other random thoughts & posts.
Weekend Recap:
This weekend was quite odd. Christmas Eve was okay, I spent a small amount of time with my significant other but not as much as I wanted. Christmas Day. My son was overjoyed with all of his presents & toys. My significant other & I chose the perfect time to be arguing & it forced us to not talk at all. Not sweating it. The Day After Christmas. I left with Oliver & Courtney to road trip to the DMV for the week. Still no communication with my s/o. Hmmm. Interesting.
Overall, I'm quite upset with the way I acted & wish I could change it but you can't dwell in the past. I can only make improvements for my future.
For my musical half, I can suggest a mixtape to download. Rick Ross' new mixtape Ashes to Ashes has been in constant rotation and I can state that I am in love with it.
Weekend Recap: this weekend was hectic to say the least. I finished my Christmas shopping. whoot whoot.
I also managed to do a little shopping for myself. I'm going to do a haul video and post it later on this evening or maybe tomorrow. I'm ready to throw the dueces to Pittsburgh and say hello to the DMV, 6 more days! Ugh I can not wait.
So I have a slight obsession with Big Sean and I absolutely love this song. I'm not quite sure what process I'm going to do to rate the music or rather just give a quick bio about the artist and then post a link to the song. IDK. But for now I will just post a quick quote from the song along with the link to the youtube video.
"every time we fall out ill throw yo ass out but you just end up boomeranging back to me. what the fuck"
