NOTORIOUS Movie Review

When I first saw the preview trailers for it, I was uber amped. Like words couldn't express how excited I was to see that the movie about MY FAVORITE rapper was coming out.

So January 17th, my family & I went to go see the movie about Frank White.. It was a great dipcition about his life. I was happy it wasn't immediately bootlegged across America.. If you haven't seen it, I'm telling you to go out & support it!

Addiction..

I don't even know if it can be classified as addiction but I gotta have lip gloss. It has to be nice and thick, with high shine. Sometimes I like the subtle look: really thin layer.. Other times I like it to look almost fuckin outrageous: extra shiny like I've been eating chicken all day. My favorite lip gloss of all time: MAC Clear Lipglass. This stuff is like crack to me. I went into withdrawal when I thought I lost my precious $15 tube. (Yes the stuff is EXPENSIVE!).. When I found it (discreetly hidden in my abyss aka bedroom), I was hooked once again...


On to other things I'm "addicted" to: music.. I gotta have my music. Doesn't matter where I am, I gotta have MY music. I have anything from N.E.R.D. to Prince to Biggie to Amy Winehouse & everything in between. My friends & family call me weird cuz I literally listen to everything.. Call me Eccentric & Eclectic Ebony cuz I love, love, love MUSIC.. Check my IMEEM profile if you think differently!

Work..

Okay it's a Thursday morning and I'm so bored at work. I have some things I could be doing, but I'm just not feeling it. Today is one of those days when you call in "sick", lounge around the house all day in your jammies, and just chill.. But since my job sucks, I came to work. (No paid time off, no vacation leave, no perks what so ever! They are even nice enough to give me a paper check to deposit every week! YAY ME!) Well since I'm here, might as well do some of what I get paid for.. At least at this job I can listen to music at my desk (Last job didn't even let us have a radio or anything!) So I have my Imeem play list below for you to enjoy (random ass songs.. Sorry! lol).. Hopefully there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel later on tonight: some Coldstone Ice Cream. I've been craving that for the past couple of days really hard.. I think I'll be back later to blog about some other things later on today.

Cell Phones: Addiction or Bad Habit?!

My little big brother (as I call him since we are almost the same height now!!!) was just given a cell phone. A real cell phone, with minutes, a bill, everything. He spends more time on that phone just texting , reading emails, playing games.. Last night I asked him if I was to take the phone away, how would he feel? He basically said he couldn't live without it.

He's only 13; I'm 22 and I swear on everything if my phone was left at home or came up missing, I would have a freaking heart attack! My phone is like my lifeline. I have everything on that damn thing: email, IM, texting, web, cam/vid, MUSIC!!! Now there are some times when I do wish I left the damn thing somewhere. I'm so addicted to it. And in the next few weeks I'll be walking around with 2 of them!! Talk about a habit I won't be able to quit, I'm getting a Blackberry Curve!!

Now the "CrackBerry" as it's called, has everything imaginable except a touch screen. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can view videos on it! Now that's something I need in my life because I'm a YouTube fiend! I guess when I get this phone, I'll make sure to get a car charger, because that battery will get mega usage!!!

This week in history!!!

Well first off, I hope everyone got out to vote!!! And if you didn't, shame on you! But if you did, I'm proud of you.

Secondly, congrats to Barack Obama & Joe Biden!

And now to the extra good stuff!!!

John Legend & Q-Tip both dropped cds this week. I listened to Q-Tip's cd, The Renaissance, via Imeem playlist. After listening to it, I see that he is back on his Kamaal the Abstract-esque rhyming! I love it. I can't wait to hear John Legend's cd. He has never disappointed me with any cd/song/anything he was featured on, so I know I'll be happy to hear this one!!!
