Look baby it ain't yo' fault you lack the flava

Charlie Sheen reminds me of Kenny Fisher, and you know what?  I LOVE HIM.  I love that he thinks he's a rockstar and everyone is like um, huh?  Over the last couple of months, I've been able to fast forward or change the channel when he's come on the tv.  Ho-hum another star cokehead, and no matter what happens their oversized egos and fat wallets keep them outta trouble (i.e. LiLo).  Anyone that knows me, knows saying I don't pay attention to some tv gossip, is a huge thing.  My sleepless nights are filled with the RuPaul's Drag Race repeats and lots of Teen Mom.  THOSE are the people that I love, the Z-listers.  The ones who think because they made 10 grand on a reality show, they've made it and who have the 'don't you know who I am?' attitude.
Okokokok, back to Charlie, after his rants on radio and press tour he's been on this week, I've become addicted, friend of Bill W I am not. 
If he were to knock up a Real Housewife, I think I might OD.
So, on the off chance the Kelly Killor BenSimon ever read this, could you please flash a little leg towards him, that would make this girl's night.
Then someone, please schedule the interevention, kthx.

FYI:  I'm over Charlie Sheen haha! quit him cold turkey with no withdrawl

G-o-o-g-l-e-m-eeeeeeeeee

No not me, but NeNe Leakes. So I was watching Real Housewives of Atlanta (I mean who doesn't?) and usually you can tell when their reactions are really fake, comeon they aren't classically trained actors and probably would mess up in a Jr High production of Annie. Anyway, I'm watching where NeNe is at her new job, and sees her husband and herself on a web page in tabloid fashion, and she looked genuinely embarrassed and shocked by what she was reading. My question is why? Doesn't she google alert herself? Seriously, you know all the other wives (in all the other cities too) have themselves hooked up to google alerts and get that ish sent to their phones right quick, so why doesn't she? It was obvious she wasn't tech savvy, she couldn't figure out how to use the mouse on the laptop at her desk, but I know they have Iphones and what with how vain these chicks are you know they know how to find dirt on themselves.
With all that being said, I looooove me some NeNe. She's got a hilarious metaphor and take on things around her that most people just wouldn't be able to convey.
Now NeNe get yourself google alerted, it's just that easy!

hello (echo) ooo ooo oooo

So, it's been quite a while since I've updated. A lot has been going on some things I'd rather not relive, but some exciting things happening too. My oldest is starting high school shortly, for reals, yo. I'm way beyond excited for her, probably more than her, which makes it pretty hard for me because I just wanna be all loud and giddy. I wanna go back to high school, ha, not that it was the best years ever, just seems like such a fun and carefree time. Too much to worry about as an adult, I suppose. The boy will be entering second grade and he's excited even though at the moment, we have no idea where he'll go to school, he's pretty much ok with it. He's easy going, and has a H U G E sense of self worth, ha ha. Even though, he doesn't pay much mind what people think of him, they ultimately end up loving him, and his crazy fun personality is probably what draws people in. Now onto the bebe, she's getting into EVERYTHING. Though, she's not walking, she's certainly climbing on top of and into anything she can. I've never really had to babyproof anything with the other two, but I think that might be something that I'll end up doing this go around.
I supposed that's all for now, we'll see what this school year brings us, dance classes, sports extra curriculars and a baby that will be walking anytime, wish me luck!

hellooooo out there

Hi. It's me. I'm still alive. That's all for now.

Springtime in the city

We're in the second week of April, just getting over a bit of a winter 'storm' I guess parts of lower MI has seen up to half a foot of snow. We were lucky to only get maybe an inch and the temp is supposed to be 40 tomorrow so hopefully, whatever remains today (not much so far) will be melted away by tomorrow. It's definitely spring here though, DPD finally has a new helicopter and it seems it's being put to good use. A couple of weeks ago, we were taking the 'scenic route' home from dinner and we notice the 'ghetto bird' (haha thanks 90's gangsta rap) flying around with the spotlight on. Since then, we've heard and seen it many a night. Seems like the idiots like to come out once we have that first warm day. People are out in full force, acting a fool. March 17, St. Patrick's Day, I decided also since it was so nice (72 degrees) to take the 'scenic route' (this means no freeway for me) home from work. I totally forgot it was St. Patrick's Day, and drove right down Michigan Avenue, Corktown, in the midst of the all the drunks proudly displaying their green. They looked happy, and the weather was nice enough for them to be walking from bar to bar. As I made my way through downtown, hopped on Gratiot, then Mack Avenue into a more residential area, things got to be not so hectic, but the people were still out. It was still nice, to see folks out. I make my way down and see a ho out working, hmmm she's not wearing green though, shame on her. She was donned in bright purple, guess she didn't want to blend in with everyone else. I come up to Mack and Bewick, and wouldn't ya know it, the tiger lady is out there!!! The tiger lady, as I call her, is a large elderly woman, who sits on a folding lawn chair with this huge stuffed tiger on her lap, or sometimes he's laying next to her on the ground. She is like a landmark to me (and the kids actually). She reminds me of Minerva, in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I wish I could have found a picture of Minerva to post but couldn't find one online, I tried to snap a photo of the tiger lady though and just as I was saving it, I lost my signal and the picture was gone. I was crushed. I can just imagine this lady speaking and saying, something crazy to a squirrel sitting next to her, or just carrying on a conversation with her tiger. Yes, it's definitely springtime here in the city.

Big ups to the folks at Liberty Tax

Not the tax preparers, not the people working inside, not the owners, but the people that are outside everyday with the Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty costumes on. Even in subarctic temps, they are always enthusiastically waving and dancing on the corners trying to encourage people in getting their taxes done there. I don't care if they are crack heads or alcoholics; they are out there rain or shine bustin' a move makin' their $6.50 an hour. I'm sure it's a tiresome, thankless job and I'm sure they get on peoples' nerves out there, but they are makin' a buck the way they know how and I wanted to give them props for it.

Open Letter to Christian Audigier

Dear Mr. Audigier,

I'm not sure who told you it would be a good idea to contract with VH1 reality shows to make your clothing visible, but I'd like to say, 'BAD IDEA!!' Even though, Ed Hardy wear has not really been 'cool' for at least a year, I've still wanted one those large Ed Hardy purses. Sometimes when a trend fades I still hang on to it for a minute, I admit. But, to see the Charm School girls with the trucker hats on, yesterday's makeup and bad weaves, then to see the Rock of Love girls with Bret Michaels' 'love' dribbling down their legs and the shirts stained with tequila vomit is not really the publicity you want is it? If that's not enough how about have Shifty and Steven Adler, on Sober House, getting high on crack, heroin and whatever else might be around all while sporting their new free clothing provided by you, is definitely not the fashion statement I'd like to make. I realize these are known as 'ghetto fab' clothes so you might be trying to target another group of people to make it look a little better, but I think someone steered you in the wrong direction.

Sincerely,
Mary

P.S. If you'd like to send me one of those bags for free, I might still uses it though :)
