Just Fine in 09

New Years is next Friday *can you believe it* so now’s the time to start thinking about those New Year Resolutions/Goals that you want to try to set and keep for the 09. Now I usually don’t do the whole resolution thing because I've always believed it to be pointless, but I'm thinking of giving it a go this year. Here are my top 5:

1 Getting rid of old baggage - Don’t know about you but ya girl has been through A LOT this year and needs to let go of some “dead weight”! *Those that know me know who I'm referring to*

2 Finish writing my novel – I really want to get it done next year so I can get published, get a movie deal, then blowuptuate and be a rioch biotch. I mean a ten year old just sold the rights to his book How To Talk to Girls *wtf* so it can happen for me too!

3 Eating Healthier – I figure my diet of McDonalds, Wendy’s, Popeyes, Chick-fil-a ect is going to eventually catch up to me as I approach thirty so might as well start now adding more fruits and veggies to my diet.

4 Being Nicer – Apparently I’m mean

5 Stop stanning Kanye West so much – I’m kinda getting tired of loving him so hard

Kwanzaa: What the Hell Is It?

Cristmas is tomorrow and most families will celebrate the day somebody deemed the day Jesus was born by waking up early to open gifts. Then on the 26th many of us will venture out to shopping malls to return the gifts we recieved that we don't want. Just ungrateful! But for some black families the 26th marks the first day of the African-American holiday called Kwanzaa. Of course most of us have heard of it but my question is: What the heck is it really? I actually had to google this info but here's what I found:

Kwanzaa is a non-religious African American holiday which celebrates family, community, and culture. It is celebrated for seven days: December 26 - January 1.

Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization, and started to research African "first fruit" (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of Kwanzaa
The seven principles, or Nguzo Saba are a set of ideals created by Dr. Maulana Karenga. Each day of Kwanzaa emphasizes a different principle.
Unity (Umoja) - (oo-MO-jah)
To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

Self-determination (Kujichagulia) - (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah)
To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.

Collective Work and Responsibility (Ujima) - (oo-GEE-mah)
To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together.

Cooperative Economics (Ujamaa)- (oo-JAH-mah)
To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.

Purpose (Nia) - (nee-YAH)
To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

Creativity (Kuumba)- (koo-OOM-bah)
To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

Faith (Imani) - (ee-MAH-nee)
To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Every night you're supposed to light a candle that represents the seven principles and you get a gift. No wait....that's Hanneukah, my bad.

But anyway maybe with the new hope that Barack will bring starting January 20 more people will pick up the tradition of Kwanzaa.

Wow. This should make for some excellent primetime foolishness. I know I'll be watching! And is it me or is VH1 straight reality show heaven now?!

TV One vs BET

It's the battle of the two black networks. For years BET has been the sole all Black network to keep us entertained. But has recently went down the toilet with crappy programming such as inappropriate videos, vj's that suck and their BET blackbuster movies like Baby Boy and Soul Plane.

Enter stage left TV One. With it's bringing back old classic shows like Martin, Living Single, Eve, and the short lived Between Brothers and For Your Love. Now they even got Sanford and Son and Half and Half coming on in the 09!

But not to be outdone BET brought back Smart Guy, when Taj Mowrey was cute, and now Family Matters and One on One. And put on three seasons of pure phluckery with the Keysha Cole show. Debra Leeeeevillll is really trying to compete.

So is there room for both in the world of television? I think there is. But BET betta watch it's back cause TV One is slowly creeping up on em to take over. Oh and if you haven't seen the infamous BET episode check it out below.



LOL!

Of course they snatched the full episode off youtube. Bastids!

Happy Holidays

I don't know about yall but this is one of my favorite Christams songs!



Just makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside *sigh*

Daddy's Girls Spinoff

Now I love me some Run's House, even watch the re-runs, but is it really neccessary for Angela and Vanessa to get their own show? I mean do that have that much more going on in their lives that can't be shown on Runs House? Even though Imjusayin....I'll still probably watch *sigh*.
