You Jive Mutha Funkaaa!!!!
I will be first in line at the theater when this comes out! Even though I wasn't even sperm and egg in the 70's, my uncle exposed me to the ghetto fab world of black 70's films and I have been laughing since. I know Tarrantino made a Blaxploitation film, Jackie Brown, but he was serious and making a tribute. Black Dynamite is a tribute, but with laughs and highlighting the outrageous main stays of the time. Finally Honky will be back in style!!

The weather report for The Ville (Jacksonville, Florida for new comers) for Monday is cold! Possibly getting down to 36 degrees and I know those northern visitors thinks that's nothing, but for us warm blooded Floridians, that's cold as a Yeti's nipples! So tomorrow warm up to some Hot Chocolate (NSFW), I know I will!!!

Truly Outrageous!
I saw this and was like, they made a Transformers movie, a Alvin & The Chipmunks movie, and even making a G.I. Joe movie, but where in the hell is the Jem movie? When Nicole Wray's video for "If I was your Girlfriend" came out, I thought then someone was going to make one if she was making it. But reports say that due to copyrights no deal is in the works to make it at this time. But if they did who should play the characters. I know it needs to be a full on musical spectacle but I wouldn't want Disney to cram all the High School Hanna Montana Jonas Brother crew into it.
I think Jem has to be older, Britney would be great if she could really act, but I would love to see Solange as Jem. Who says Jem has to be white, and Solange has a funky vibe that will sell the story, plus you know she got the earrings.
The Holograms can be played by the other girls of PCD, because Nicole already gets all the shine and it will be about time to see them hoes in clothes.
The Misfits can be led by Hilary Duff, since she wants to be bad now, Lindsey Lohan who would rock as a bad ass enemy & Ashley Tisdale to round out the bad ass bitches.
The love interest Rio Pacheco, I think should be Corbin Bleu so he can get some of that Zac Effron fire. Wouldn't it just be like totally awesome!!!

Serious Skittles Face: Cold in the D!
First off, I know if you're reading this you're thinking I either have no family or can't stand them this Thanksgiving because of the many posts. I have been cooking with my mom and now just waiting for the food to finish to eat, so to kill time I am finally posting after a break. So off that, the only thing you probably noticed is my new picture for "skittles face". I don't know if Bey just saw how (freed slave looking) J is on the jumbotron or the following video:
It must be loud in the D as well, cause none of those bitches have tone. You know someone listening to that broadcast had to either pull over or got in a crash after either laughing to death or just out of pure horror.

A Day of Thanks!
I am sitting here watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and about to help my mom cook dinner. But after last nights (still on going) drama in Mumbai, I am really thankful and blessed today. Last night I was mad and tired and stressed from work and lack of money and when I was ready to come home and bitch about it, I saw the news(The BBC version because they show everything!), I was thrown deep into reality. All the issues in your life many seem major and life changing, but somewhere in the world their problems are life ending. So this Thanksgiving lets not just get stuffed with food, but with the blessings and thanks that you are breathing. Like from my favorite Gay movie about Mormons and sex - Latter Days:
Well, when I was a little kid, I use to put my nose right up to them. And I was just amazed because it looked like this mass of dots, and none of it made sense until I pulled back. Life looks like that mass of dots to me sometimes. None of it makes any sense, but I like to think that, from God's perspective, life, everything - even this - make sense. It's not just dots. Instead we're all connected, and it's beautiful and funny and good. This close we can't expect it to make sense, not right now.

Konichiwa Janet!? WTF!!

A Jag of a Day!
We'll I had the pleasure (I mean PAIN) of going to the Jaguar Game vs. the Vikings today! Even though we LOST BIG TIME (30-12) like I knew we would, I still managed to have fun and a lot of laughs. A loud “Christina on crack” voice singing the anthem, loud explosions, and even louder aircrafts flying overhead met my ears while trying to make it up the slow ass escalators. Now, you know it's a shame when the other team scores TWO touchdowns on our asses in the first two minutes of the game & I hadn’t even made it to my seat yet to witness that fuckery! Crazy smells of buttery popcorn, beer, and male testosterone filled the air, not to mention it was cold as polar bear balls in the nosebleeds! I had forgotten that we have a D-line band that plays after every other play, but they were not bringing the hotness that I expected to hear. The Roar (Jag Cheerleaders) did a “hell to the naw” dance routine to Christina A’s “Keeps Getting Better” and all I could think about was the Target commercial which had me crackin up loudly while people looked at me crazy. Another thing I caught on to was the new “Move them chains!!!” chant the fans shouted when the team got a first down and two old white ladies with a BIG ASS YELLOW CHAIN were shaking it up in the aisle. One of them almost fell on the other and as you know I did LMAO at them. To my surprise though, the music at the game has changed from honkytonk and rock to r&b & get crunk while I rep my city music. Do you think it’s because most of the players are black now??? Speaking of players, I had a hard them keeping my eyes off of Jones-Drew’s bubble ass as well as other equally nice asses, at least the Jags are good for something, as well as really good binoculars. Also I had forgotten how many fine ass people go to the game, I did see a few future baby daddies and one night stands in the place, especially a very sexy white chocolate guy in a hat named John at the guest booth. Thanks again for my free O’Doul’s Non-Alcoholic drink coupon (and NO, I didn’t give my number or fuck him to get it cuz I have a chocolate bar of my own but I can dream bitches). Before I forget, I have to mention to my local Duvalians (residents of Duval) that if you want to rep yourselves, learn to spell it right because IT IS NOT SPELLED D-U-V-U-L OKAY!!!????? And the cameras had the nerve to put them onscreen for us all to see. FAIL!!! To bad I can’t find the picture, consider yourselves lucky! As I grew tired of the fuckery that was the game and with nothing amusing happening anymore, I decided to leave to premises. You also know it was a shame when Vikings fans felt sorry of them and Jag fans had literally put paper bags over their heads to hide their ongoing shame for our hometown team. Roar on that bitches! I’m out but not before I say that Non-Alcoholic Beer is the nastiest stuff I have ever tasted in my life, I see why it’s free becuase it tastes like cold carbonated pee! Thanks for nothing John, but stay cute!

If it wasn't for T.O.N.Y???
Solange "I'm just my God Given Name" Knowles is back once again with a unique video for her third single "T.O.N.Y" and I just hope it doesn't get snatched away before you get to see it.I really like the video even though for some reason it didn't register with me the first go round. There was one shocking point in the video which had me asking "What the hell and why is she doing that?" but had an understanding at the end! Tell us what you think of the new joint!!

MYA, Why you leavin???
It seems that MYA has decided to leave the USA circuit for a while and go international signing to a Japan label. Maybe it was poor record sales from her last album or she feels her divaness should be expanded, but where does that leave her US fans that won't see the new release?? (shown above) I guess we have to buy it on amazon and pay S&H to get it~! Yeah right, sorry Mya but I will have to get Peaches to bootleg it for me. We still love you though cuz "your love is like... WHOA!" (HAHAHA I know you remember that s**t!) Her album hits in Japan on Dec 3!
Oh, by the way, here is the video for the album's first single "Paradise" but don't expect a paradise (or any scenery for that matter) in the video. ENJOY!

Ignorance of an upcoming NOBODY!
“I’ma go on the record right now with this. Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album,” Trick revealed to AllHipHop.com. “I don’t want your f**got money any goddamn way. I don’t like it [homosexuality]. Carry that s**t somewhere else.”
Ok, let's see here!
#1 - Who the f**k are you and where are you coming from? You supposedly have been out since 92 and yet I haven't heard of you until now! WEAK!
#2 - You look like a typical black DL gay man anyway, so what's your problem? WEAK!
#3 - You are not HOT or FINE in anyway, so you don't have to worry about us trying to hit that! WEAK!
#4 - You would have the gayest rapper name in the world "Trick Trick" and just for that reason alone you should crawl yo homophobe ass back into the hole where you came from. DOUBLE WEAK!
#5 - I'm guessing you a pissed because some man had an interest in you and broke your heart after a few years and now you must be bitter! WEAK!
#6 - It's people like you that set black men (or all men) back more and more each day. For someone that obviously doesn't like gay people, why make a big deal out of it. Keep your mouth closed! WEAK!
#7 - You must not know that gay guys have women friends that have boyfriends, so once you mess with the gays, you f**k up your fan base 5 times over! FAIL!!!
Your mother must be very proud that you went from a nobody to a even bigger NOBODY with a big mouth that should have "Douchebag" tatted on your head! Have a terrible day!

All My Single Men!?
After a scary performance of "If I was a Boy" (to me becuase Skittles saw her perform it before) on SNL Miss B brought the funny with the help of a leotard wearing Justin Timberlake. But the kicker for me was her dance or evil spirits leaving moves at the end. Priceless!
Posted By: Peaches!
We'll I had to remove the video because of the content being terminated, which by the way is so stupid because the network should know that having the funny videos circulated on the INTERNET only helps them and SNL get more fans to watch the show if they haven't already. But the SNL website decided to post every other skit that wasn't nearly as funny as single ladies skit and now we are left with nothing but "honorable mention videos" so here is the somewhat other funny JT video on Weekend Update.

Baldwin Hills Hottie
This is old news about the show Baldwin Hills on BET being the black version of "The Hills" on MTV but it's this hottie's looks that are definitely not old! The name is Sal Hunter (girlie name but all man), and yes he may be a little young for me (he is only 19 so by three or four years) but he his still old enough for me to lick that milk! He is the only reason I watch the show, better yet, he should have his own show just standing there looking cute. Too bad he's not gay, but a boy can dream can't he!

So Not Fierce: Human Warehouses!!
Imagine you just woke up ready for the day, but instead of your alarm waking you, its the sound of gun fire. The government just collapsed and hordes of rogue soldiers are either killing, raping, or taking every person they see. You run and hide a fast as you can until you are in the believed safety of another country only to be gathered up in placed in a camp where you get one meal a day, shelter made from debris, and no protection or support from those over the camp. But worst of all you are alone and no idea or ability to find and contact family and friends. Well for 14,047.300 people around the world, tis is their reality. Many have been through this and countless situations that end them up in refugee camps, with sometimes are worse than where they had to leave. Children and parents who have been separated and unable to find each other. Dealing with corrupt camp leaders who don't protect, shelter, or feed you. And being treated or labeled as prisoners by a country you thought will help you. For those who think that this is something that doesn't affect them and only in poor war torn countries, I have one word, Katrina. When families were (and many still are) split through the USA with no communication or idea how to find each other. Forced to stay in shelters were crime and corruption was unenforced. And the lack of hope that your country will help. But it doesn't have to happen, they is an effort to move refugees from camps to normal lives throughout the world, where they can work, get access to resources to find lost family and friends, and live life like they are, human beings. Stories like this is possible:
If you want to help, you will be in the company of Fierocia herself Angelina Jolie, go to U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants for more information on Refugees and most importantly, how you can help.Mussa Suleinman, a Zanzibari refugee in Mogadishu, … who now works as a barber in the south of Mogadishu, told Xinhua that the Tanzanian refugees had stayed in camps in Kenya before they decided to come here in Somalia. … "[W]e could not get jobs and suffered a lot, so we came here," said Suleiman, who is now married to a Somali woman and has one child.
When the Zanzibari refugees arrived in Mogadishu back in 2001 they were welcomed by local residents and settled in one of the deserted former government buildings in Mogadishu where they still live. "We were first given assistance by local people here who helped us with food, clothing and shelter but with time we had to fend for ourselves," Rashid Ahmed, vice chairman of the refugees, told Xinhua.
"Some us of us started working as carpenters, teachers, or fishermen while others started their own small businesses but most of us work as barbers to earn our living," said Ahmed, a barber. … "Most of those who went to other Somali towns like Hobyo, Kismanyo and Bossaso work on their own as fishermen," Ahmed said. "They have their own small boats and go out into the sea to fish and trust their luck just like every other people in the sea," he adds. …
Zanzibar refugee leaders say that they do not feel any discrimination against them and they are not particularly targeted by any of the sides in the ongoing violence. They say they are respected as guests by all Somalis. … [D]espite their linguistic difference, the Zanzibari refugees have been assimilated well into the local Somali population with a number of them married to local Somali women and have some children with them.
"All our children born here and those brought here young speak Somali better than Kiswahili and I believe we have been destined to be part of this great nation which is unfortunately going through its most difficult period," says Ahmed.

I Am Sasha Not impressed!
Album: I Am Beyonce - I Am Saha Fierce
Date: Nov 18th
Genre: R&B with some Alternative vibes and some Electronic Crunk Beats
Peaches Speaks: Since I actually have the album (Don't ask how...Jealous!) and have listened to it. There is only 3 songs total that I like on this album. Video Phone, Single Ladies, & Diva. The Beyonce side seems to be Bey's true voice, but due to it not being the money making cuts that she is known for, I don't feel she committed to them. The Sasha side does has the hot beats and gay clubhouse vibe, but she over do it, making them sound cheesy or fake. My early jam Beautiful Nightmare now Sweet Dreams on the album lost its sexy edge with her over done "Turn the lights On" shouts and other unneeded additions. I love Bey like most and I know this album will still be number one on the charts, but I wish she goes back to her first album and finds her true voice and commit to it. Look at her sis Solange who came out doing what people thought she should do, but when she did what she wanted, her voice shone through and made the songs real and more than just jam of the moment.
Peaches Rating for I Am Beyonce: D, but could be a great solid A if she committed to what she was singing
Skittles Pre Rating for I Am Sasha Fierce: B-, but like before could be a solid A if she lose all the unneeded extras. Just beats and her voice is fine!

Pre-Album Review : HeartbreakSashaArchuletaHumanCircus
Album: 808’s and Heartbreak
Date: Nov 25th
Genre: R&B, Tribal, and Electronic Beats
Skittles Speaks: Kanye indeed decides to take us again in a new direction with this one. Just as the title is named, that’s what you’re getting in abundance (big beats and love songs). Is it the right sound for him? Were the snippets I heard good? I answer No and No in my opinion but maybe it needs to grow on me. I’ll try to endure but I don’t see it getting to “Graduation” status. You lose!
Skittles Pre Rating: D
Album: I Am Beyonce - I Am Saha Fierce
Date: Nov 18th
Genre: R&B with some Alternative vibes and some Electronic Crunk Beats
Skittles Speaks: This double “alter ego” disc CD is looking and feeling very different for some “regular ego” folk! After hearing snippets of all the song, both sides have some explaining to do! Beyonce’ side maybe a little to love dovey and slow and Sasha’ side maybe a little to FIERCE and ghetto for me to handle. But because it’s yo girl B, it will still be a hit album. Put a ring on that!
Skittles Pre Rating for I Am Beyonce: C
Skittles Pre Rating for I Am Sasha Fierce: A-
Date: Nov 11th
Genre: Vocal Pop with little Rock and R&B influence
Skittles Speaks: I have only heard and seen his first video for "Crush" and it is pretty good song to step out into the world with. He may have a soft talking voice but his singing voice is huge (can we say biting Janet's style). I could see this album beating the season winner David Cook in sales. He is also kind of cute! Wait, is he 18 yet????
Skittles Pre Rating: B-
Name: Brandy
Name: Britney Spears
Album: Circus
Date: Dec 2
Genre: Vocal Pop with little Rock and R&B influence
Skittles Speaks: Britney definitely knows how to appeal to her listening audience and there won’t be any exception here. At first I assumed she could not get any better than her “under promoted, emotionally free, but flawless” Blackout album but after hearing “Womanizer”, I can see she won’t let this one be in vain. Lookout wannabe pop princesses cuz the Circus is coming to town!
Skittles Pre Rating: B+

Not only does his books scare, suspense, amaze, and satisfy; they also educate you on the subject and leaves you feeling you just got a Ph.d. He will be missed! For those who don't know, here is a list of his works:

Throw the Hateroade in the Trash!
I am still on the high from last night and literally just finish crying after watching Sherrie's comments on the View on how this election has affected her son. But even through the celebrations, history that was made, and even McCain, who re earned my respect with his speech last night, call for support of Obama, people are still hating. I wasn't even going to give them a second of press, but this morning while listening to the MJ Morning Show (For those who don't know he is a Tampa morning radio show host thats like the watered down Howard Stern) his comments of Obama and most of his listeners still trying to say their hate, I needed to get some things off my chest.
One: "He only won because he had all the BLACK vote!"-This is bullshit, yes he had the majority of the black vote and a good number most likely was casted just because he is black. But people forget the most important thing, even with 100% of the black vote, he still wouldn't have won. He still had to get the Latin, Asian, White, Indian, Biracial, etc, etc. He won with more than 7 million over McCain, with states like Ohio and Vermont that last time I checked wasn't having a Black College Reunion Fest Jammy Jam recently!
Two: "He is the first black President, but he had to do it by connecting with white people"-People forget that he is biracial and especially since his white Grandmother death, it will be wrong to deny that part of him. The true reason he won is because he is the literal face of America. Born from a white Midwest mother and a black African father, raised by a white grandparents. Struggled on welfare and became educated through affirmative action to Harvard, where he brought his new found education to the streets of Chicago and embraced the roots and culture of his African heritage. He embodies the hope of every struggling, educated, black, white, poor, rich, and in between American and he has let them know it is possible.
Three: "I Fear for my life because he is unexperienced and terrorist will try us"-Bitch terrorist has tried us under Clinton and Bush! Bush was in office a mere months and was tried and even tough he fucked up later on, he handled it like he could. During Clinton, people forget Oklahoma City and how we were tried, not by aboard, but from within, showing us that a threat can come from anywhere and a terrorist doesn't have one race, religion, or nation. Neither McCain or Obama has the experience of being a President, no one except Bush. That is the power and fear of the position as well as the benefit, because who ever comes in will have his way of handling the situation. And Obama, unlike McCain, seems to think before he acts and keeps his cool and stays honest and direct. No fear of him pushing the button just because someone coughed on him.
Four: "America has finally reached equality with Obama Election"-This is a great mile stone that many blacks have died from and just as recently as mother's generation, thought will never be done. But know one thing, this is only a stone in a many mile bridge to equality. We have many stones and hard work to go. Black people are still the minority and many more milestones to go. We are still being denied jobs, housing, education, and respect for our color. We are still being pulled over, arrested, placed in court, and disciplined just because of our race. We are still be lynched, killed, beaten, segregated, called slurs, and thought of as less than human because we are black. And we are still the butt of jokes, smiled to in our face and talked about to our backs, classed as thugs and ghetto, feared, and lied to by those who call us equal.
So let us do like like McCain and Obama asked, provide your support, because Bush has left alot of shit to deal with and we only got 4 years to at least get some smell out!

*Side Note: But I am hating on Duval going to McCain and Amendment 2 passing making it illegal for me and Skittles to marry if we wanted to. Guess we will have to do it Brandy style and have a spiritual connection! Read more!
