I'm going to get bitch slapped, and maybe I will deserve it.

The media, and most of the liberal world has launched an attack on Miss California after she answered Perez Hilton's question concerning whether other states should allow same sex marriage. She stated that she believed marriage should be between a man and WOMAN.
In case you forgot her wording, I put the video below.



Now, after reading Ann Coulter's webpage, I must express that I agree with her, somewhat. ( I HATE TO SAY THAT!!!) It is unfair to accuse miss California of "hate speech." Coulter was right in pointing out that Miss Cali couldn't have sugar-coated her answer or tip toes around the issue any more than she did. Further, she was forced to answer the question, it isn't as if she used the fact that she had such a large audience as a forum to go on an anti-gay rampage.

Now, while I don't agree with her opinion, she does have a right to her own opinion . Many people in this country were raised with the belief that marriage should be reserved for men and women. Should she have lied? Should she have pretend she was in favor of it, just to let the judges hear what they wanted to hear? Should she really sell out her believes for a beauty pageANT Crown? Again, I am in full support of gay marriage. As Chris Rock said, Homosexuals deserve to be as miserable as everyone else! However, I have a friends who have religious beliefs that lead them to disagree with me on that. They are hateful or homophobic. They don't believe that homosexuals should be stripped of all rights. But for some people, tradition isn't as easy to break.

Oh, and in response to the other part of Coulter's column...Puh-lease. We don't hate Palin b/c she's pretty...we hate on her because she's dumb. And Yes, Miss California is pretty, but Paula Jones? She looked like an aardvark.

Get ME out of Here:
Nas was right, Hip Hop IS dead

Damn, looks like my boy Eminem better watch his back! There is a new white rapper in town, and I'm not talking Asher Roth.
Spencer Pratt, the not-so-better-half and Costar of Hills persona Heidi Montag, plans to release a rap album. Roth is what gave him the urge to unleash his inner mc. Pratt told MTV "Somebody with some real swagger needed to come into the game.
"Pratt cited Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy as his modern favorites (REALLY?) He went onto add, "I'm the white Jay-Z in the game. I'm doing the baller thing. I'm more for the streets." Damn, Vanilla Ice could rap circles around this herbs. I hope I'm just being Ann Coultured and I'm just falling for a sick joke!

Ha, watch it become a hit!


"He sounds mentally retarded"-erestellea, a Youtube commenter. I second that.

Slim Shady Vs. Eminem & Hip Hop's MPD Obsession

Looks like most if not all of Eminem's album (if not all) has leaked. His recent track, " Bagpipes in Bagdad" has created some controversy as it ONCE AGAIN insinuates that he had relations with Miss Mariah Carey :::Yawn:::. Telling Nick Cannon that he he needs to "back the **** up " beCAUSE Em wants her back. He also calls Mariah a whore. The diss sparked a response from Nick Cannon on his blog. While he made good points, it's hard to take a diss from Nick Cannon seriously. I mean, he's cute but he's such a kid. I mean Jeaz, he was on Nick!
So anyway here's the Video:







not only was it not good, but it was rapped in that annoying voice-AGAIN. Plus, it was juvenile and the whole Mariah thing is sooo played out. Move on, Slim. Now, I know I have been obsessing over Em lately on here, but you must understand, I was a hardcore back in the day! Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show were my ALBUMS. I mean, I played them out. MM LP helped me survive my turbulent overly emotionally teen years. Perhaps after some play, it will grow on me as much of Lil Wayne's music. However, I don't see this becoming more than a short-term guilty pleasure at best.
Just when I was giving up hope on any music rapped in a normal voice, i read a YOUTUBE clip explaining that this was just the SLIM ShadY voice, and the "Eminem Songs" were more angry/serious and in regular voice. So perhaps there is a chance for me to like some new stuff!! After listening to a few seconds of Deja Vu...(Eminem Voice) I think I might kinda like this one.



But seriously, I know Eminem has always had the dual/triple personas since the jump-off but whats with the extreme voice changes? And couldn't he have picked a better voice? Why has cecome so trendy? why are so many artists trying to have Multiple Personality Disorder?I means so far: Janet Jackson / Strawberry &/ Damita Jo, Beyonce/Sasha Fierce, T.I. /T.I.P. Ciara/Super Cee. MJB/Brook With special songs, voices, emotions. "Oh that song was written from the perspective of my other persona." Hello, you don't have to "be different people" it's called being multifaceted! Everyone has different aspects of themselves that come out at different times, but you don't see everyday people getting all Sybil-like renaming themselves and talking in strange voices. I think Urban Music is going through it-big time. They need to visit doctor Phil or read up on Freud or something! Sheesh.

Lookin' Back, Lookin' Back Look-in' Baack

I always get internally reflective and nostalgic as I get older. Yesterday, I got to thinking about Birthday's of the past, and I starting thinking about my thirteenth birthday. Aside from the shock that that was over a decade ago, I felt a longing to go back. That was such a great birthday.Deff one of my favorites. I remember at the time, my mother was working in the bake shop at Stop N Shop. That day they were collecting for Food For Friends. At every entrance Stop N Shop employees were collecting money or food to stock the food pantry. On that day my best friend S and my cousin V were running one of the entrances. I remember how much fun we had goofing around and collecting food and money donations. We didn't goof off too much though, we made sure to get donations. In fact, we collected more food and money that day then all the other volunteers put together. Who could resist the charm of three adorable peepy 13-year old girls? Then we hung at my house until all my other friends game over a sleepover. Not that there was much sleeping going on. But there was lots of laughter, junk food, rap music, and of course-the Ouji Board. Oh, teenie bopper birthdays-How I miss you!!

How Do You Measure a Year?

I turn 24 in two hours. I have been dreading this day for months. I'm 366 days away from my quarter life crisis!! Sans the short-lived magazine experience at Cottages and Gardens Publications, 23, like 22 before it, was insignificant. I see so many people my age and younger who are doing things with their lives. Whether they are moving forward in their careers, exploring cultures of the world, or starting their families, they seem to know where they are going in life. Even if they don't know WHERE they are going, they are taking an interesting journey to get there. I'm not traveling to Spain or joining the peace core,. I haven't published a book or written a Novel. I am not auditioning for a reality television show or going to graduate school. So what the hell am I doing?

What I want for my birthday is to get my act together. While I am hoping for some advancement/direction on the career front, I want to get it together on a personal level. As in I want to stop being such a train wreck/hot ass mess.

Jay-Z took a cue from Kanye West when he hit the blogsphere this week to discuss his latest concert with Kelly Clarkson, and Third Eye Blind. Of the line-up, Jay-Z said that the concert showed racial unity. The theme of the blog seems to be a theme of Hov's public messages. Earlier this month he argued that hip hop did more race relations then any politician, so clearly racial unity through music is a focus for Jiggaman. While I'm not knocking the claim at racial unity, I'm surprised that Jay-Z is calling this line-up unique. Never mind that 50 Cent and Fall Out Boy or Eminem and Papa Roach for the original Anger Management Tour. What about Jay-Z's own Sprite Liquid Mix tour with Hobastank and 311? His album with Lincoln Park? I mean it's not Jay-Z's first time performing a diverse line up. Photo
