Rihanna's on the Chopping Block

so..we've seen her evolve her image and become this international sensation. with her revamed edgy look. rihanna seems to have gone from gradually fading singer to face/style of a generation with the snip of a pair of scissors.

instead of celebrating the release of her new single, russian roulette.she maybe forced to eat her words. written by ne-yo

Upcoming artist Tiffany Evans critiques Rihanna music and says that it could promote suicide and a demonic prescence.
in her words....
Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that’s when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.

-my original though was it can't be that bad-
until i hear the song..

[Chorus ]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

christian.santanist. jew. buddiest. muslim.
who cares we are all just people trying to differentiate between this life and the next
(depending on whether or not you even believe in a next life).

i promote individuality but what i can't stand by is her glamorizing such a dangerous deed as gun play as sport.
her audience ages ranges from 10-29 years old.
the decision to air a song with such a topic is irresponsible.

smooth like butter.

anyone watch lincoln heights on fox family, mondays at 7pm?
well, if you do you are probably just as mesmerized by the character cassie suttons's, real name erica hubbard, hair.
it's gorgous. and healthy.

I thought it would be nice to give some tips to my fellow black women on how to treat and maintain their hair, not only so it can be long but more importantly to be healthy. the best feeling is a head full of thick, silky hair that is actually attached to your scalp.

My Top Hair Care MUST

1. Be Gentle. don't just snatch your hair in frustration. the better you treat your hair the healthier it will become. your hair is composed of fine filaments strands. our hair tangles easily and we must be patient.

2. if you have a mother like mine you're told each night to "Put Something on Your Head." preferable a satin cap. many of the cotton on regular scarves and pillows we sleep on can be too rough for our hair causing split ends and stealing the moisture from our hair.

3. Stand clear of GREASE. yes i said it. it contains petroleum, sodium's & sulfates that can in actuality dry out your hair and make it stiff. Use Natural Oils like olive, castrol or grape seed oil which is light weight and can endure high temperature- which is great to avoid heat damage from the flat iron. 100% shea butter is also a good product.

4. Don't Neglect your Ends. we concentrate on our scalps. but we totally forget about our ends. they should be trimmed at least after every perm. (i know how everyone is about scissors near your hair)

5. Anti-Heat. minimize the amount of heat you put into your hair. i aim for once a week and the occasional curls to go without any heat. so satin rollers could be an option from a night.

i was some what influence by Chris Rock's new Documentary Good Hair

so take a look at the trailer.

to hov or not to hov that is the question?

so the mason finger pointing of the week is rapper and mogul Jay-Z (Shawn Corey Carter).

we bopped our heads to the song Hard Knock Life we watched as he evolved from a street artist into CEO into a fashion designer into a club owner into a shareholder in a NBA team into the top most successful hip hop artist/entrepreneur in America. and now that there are a few whispers that he is a member of the freemasonry fraternity people are plugging in their ears to get the dope beats out of their minds.
now, out of the wood work are conspiracy artist scrutinizing every aspect of his music and videos for demonic appearance. and you know the old say if you look hard enough, you'll find it.
i believe that's exactly the case. people have set out specifically to find any connection to the masons and they are finding it. i'm not saying he is/isn't a mason. I believe people's perception of the secret society is all wrong. how do you know they worship the devil? it's a secret. this organization has roots going as far back as the 16th and 17th century. but it also is centered upon many religious aspects that can be found in the bible. they have biblical rituals and are all invested in a supreme being. (i know, because i know people that know people *wink*) we see people on famous with mason symbols on their satchels and the eastern star symbol on their cars. these are people you know and love and see on a regular basis. do you think they are all circling around the fires asking the devil to help them in life?
one of the symbols i am familiar with is the unfinished pyramid with the eye on top, on the back of the dollar bills (as the picture on the left shows). which thanks to wikipedia i found out is called Eye of Providence. Many conspiracy theorist this image resembles the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus charm of the pagan sun-god Horus. They also find correlation between the 13 steps, but blah blah blah right. So are people going to stop using the dollar bill too?? Will all god-fearing people need to carry around a sack filled with quarters from now on? My purse is heavy enough no need for that. Is that idea a little extreme? Maybe so. But the back of the one dollar bill also states IN GOD WE TRUST

A friend of mine also became concerned with the freemasonry society and its secretive activity and did some research and read every president expect Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy, who were both assassinated, were masons.
Does that mean we good Christians will be going to school on George Washington Day and Presidents Day? I know I'm sleeping in :) What they don't report in these articles is that James A Garfield and WIlliam McKinney were also assassinated. And countless other presidents like Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, George H. W Bush, Bill Clinton and George Bush (for obvious reasons) all had attempted assassinations. Check all the facts and data.

it seems when a black man sees a few dollars, gains prestige and has power, he must not be good enough to come into this on his own. he OBVIOUSLY had some help from the devil to make it. so who's next? Russell Simmons

well, it might be a little difficult to cuss people out, run a multi-million dollar corporation and take minutes all in downward dog.

we've found ourselves in a classic witch hunt. as humans we fear the unknown. we refuse to listen to jay-z and instead change the station to songs like graphically describe the anatomy of the human body like "shorty got ass for days" and "bitch better have my money" and turn our backs on the genius that is jay-z.
and i guess the russians HAVE come back to brain wash us all and turn us into communist...geez.

i think we should cease this nonsense. stop fearing the unknown. this is a secret fraternity. of course you are unaware of their activities. you people can't hold water. you're upset that these people are able to keep a secret and it's killing you. these people seem scared of something and deem any rumor as fact, that shows weakness.let it be. listen to jay-z don't listen to jay-z, but make the decision based upon the artistry and not some notion that he may or may not be a devil worshipper.

if you want my advice, you should have a coke and a smile (and continue to pray for yourself and others) and buy the new blueprint 3 album. :)

darn leafers.

please, let me know i'm not the only one that loathes winter/fall.

people that love the change from summer to fall confuse me.
as they sniffle and snort

we live in houston. we experience all these weather changes in one day during the fall/winter. so i am forced to witness people in tank tops rain boots and shades. it confuses my senses.

------------------------------------------

don't be fooled. i'm prepared. doesn't mean i like it.

i bought the cutest jacket at zara during the summer for fall.
it is to d.i.e for.
and i recently bought a new cardigan and a MJ jacket. :)
i'm still not looking forward to walking around in the cold.
but it's in Lord's hands of what falls from the sky

speak.

my mouth begins to tense as my mind goes blank. any chance of responding has simply gone away. searching my brain for the right answer. it fails me, once again and i f r e e z e. she talks all the time they may think, but in actuality speaking is not my strongest suit. i can write. write for hours and hours and let the ink SPILL out into an pathway of lines. the words never seem to match up verbally. a fort was built long ago, before anyone i know now existed. this fort built with materials not easily penetrated. sending morse code messages out to former occupants, no one could go in. securely locking the gate, i accepted those who had accepted me. loved me awkward. loved me different.

cvs/pharmacy how may i help you?

so since i been MIA for awhile i thought i'd tell a story from one of the main reasons i've been too busy to blog.

well i've worked for cvs for almost 2 years i took the summer off though. so whatever...

one day i was going to the stock room for a reason i can't even remember anymore and suddenly i felt something tell me to turn around. i turned back in tv slow motion and behind me was this giant bear-like pitbull staring at me. my mouth became dry and all that came out was a pathetic whisper elisa! i was stuck there. my feet had somehow rooted themselves in the floor and i could not move. out of the mist (created in my own mind) my manager, elisa comes and sees me and this beast and quickly opens the door and says shoo! shoo! the dog obeys and as it slowly made its way out the door. in its passing i was able to see that in actuality this was a lost, elderly dog with no where to go. and it saddened me. i have always had a soft spot for homeless people and animals. my grandmother would get so angry when i gave stray cats food and they stuck around long after i'd go home for seconds. that dog was just as scared and as startled as i was that day. i only wish that i could have given him a parting gift that he could have eaten.

all day i have people:

• ask where things are that are right behind them (toothpaste usually has a sign try looking up)
• mistake me for a pharmacist (asking which medicine is best. uh i dunno read the label match the symptoms.)
• ask "working hard or hardly working"
• throw change at me
• say i've added wrong when it's the register adding
• trying to hustle me with fake debit card buying 4 $100 dollar gift cards and i birthday card
• explain there purchases...so your cousin is coming into town and she always uses up your dishes so you came to cvs to buy plastic cups just for her...ohh well thanks for sharing i am a little intune with the world
• mistake me for a therapist..in the 45 seconds it takes me to ring you up.bag it. give you your total. you have told me your whole day. well that's unforunate.
