I ain't no hollaback girl.........

.....so I'll just say I will see ya later. I'm off to see my BFF in Nashville.



And oh yeah, I got another Obama sign. It is now displayed in the window of our house. lol

Awww Naw Hell Naw.....

....man they done up and done it!!!

Ya'll, I've been ROBBED!! One of those crazy loons that you see or hear about on the web stealing Obama yard signs got to our house this morning! It happened between the time of 10 a.m and 1:30 p.m today. How do I know you ask? Because it was still in my yard when I returned home from one of my doc. appointments and when I left to go to the other doc appointment it was gone. Maaaaaaaan, I'm PISSED! So pissed I decided to go file a police report. My anger still had not stifled while sitting blind as a bat in the eye doctor's office, so I made the executive decision (while trying to read the eye chart no less) to go see the po po's.

I sent a text to Z and he called me back laughing! Can you believe him?! I hate men sometimes.

Z: Are you really going to file a report for a $7 sign?
Me: It was $8 and yes the hell I am. You got a problem with it?
Z: Nope. You're gonna do what your gonna do anyway *chuckles*
Me: You know what? I can't talk to your black ass right now. We've been robbed and you are laughing at me.
Z: But Babe....it's just a sign.
Me: It's more than just a sign....it's the fuckin principal. I feel violated.
Z: Ok, baby don't get mad. Are you going to get another one?
Me: And you know this. I'll talk to you later.

And that's just what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I will be marching my black ass right up to the HQ in North Little Rock, AR to purchase another one. I don't care if the election is next week. In my humble opinion, that's all the more reason to have it.........I just hope they have some for me to buy. They had just gotten a shipment in when I got the 1st one. *sigh* Wish me luck!

Anyway, I did file the report. I just got back a little while ago. It was fairly quick and painless. I had to wait about 30 minutes because they were grilling some guy (I was sitting right by the interrogation room) they had pulled over about riding around with weed in his car. Once I heard them in there, it helped to pass the time as it was quite interesting. I didn't make out everything they were saying due to the background noise in the lobby but basically ole boy said it wasn't his. lol Is it ever? LMAO.

Enjoy the vid. It's Nappy Roots doing what else....AwNaw! lol

Gotta be there in the morning

It's the ass crack of dawn, 6:52 am, and I'm up. That's not really that strange since I wake up @ 5 (or somewhere close to it) during the week to get ready for work. I'm one of those folks that likes to go in early so I can get a headstart on my work (read so I can leave early). Anyway, what is strange is that I'm off today. Why are you up so early then you ask? Weeeeeeelll, I had to take my car up to the shop before Z went to work so I could have the other car to ride around in today for my doctors appointments. Now I am just waiting on them to open so I can drop my keys off. To help pass the time (and to help me stay awake), I'm online blog hoppin and found this youtube clip. At first I gasped, then before I knew I was laughing so hard. I'm talking about the kind of laugh that comes deep from within. Anyway, I know this vid looks a bit familar and it starts out that way but don't stop it too soon or you will miss out. This is funny (and short), so press play and enjoy!

Don’t Nobody Bring me NO BAD NEWS!

Well, no more anyway.

This has been a rough week for the state of AR. I’m sure most of you have heard reports of the anchorwoman, Anne Pressly who was attacked in her home last week and passed away this past Saturday. Her assailant has yet to be found.
http://www.katv.com/news/stories/1008/564436.html

There was also another death of a young lady by the name of Sonya Ratliff. She was brutally shot to death, in front of her children, by her piece of shit ex-boyfriend. Her assailant has yet to be found.
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=74460&catid=2

And now if that wasn't enough, three students at my (and SouthernGal’s) alma mater UCA were shot last night. Two of those three are now dead. One assailant has been found, they are still on the lookout for the others involved.
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=74572&catid=2

And to top it all off, Jennifer Hudson lost not only her mother but her brother as well this weekend. I know it’s now AR news but it’s still truly tragic. Her nephew is STILL missing. He’s only 7….just a baby. It hurts me when innocent children are abducted for no other reason than greed and selfishness. My only wish to help make this all better is that Julian King is returned home safe and sound.

It's time to draw out the big guns to lighten my mood. Yep, I need to hear something from The Wiz and I can't think of a better song than the title of the post.

Sorry it's not the actual clip from the movie, they have disabled embedding. If you want a looksie, just follow the blue link...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8i7dBj1Zjs

JOE THE FOOL.....

If there's one thing I can't stand it's folks that think they are special or believe that they hold a higher ranking in life just because of who they are (or who they think they are).

John McCain’s brother, JOE the fool, called 911 because of the DMV traffic.“He called the police emergency line because he was angry he was stuck in traffic. The 911 call came into the City of Alexandria on Oct. 21st That's creating some buzz because it appears to come from Joe McCain, John McCain's brother.

Operator: 911 state your emergency
Caller: It's not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic? (pause)
Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up)

The complaint call about traffic on the Wilson Bridge, outrageous enough that the 911 operator called back. The voicemail on the other end, appears to belong to Joe McCain, brother of presidential candidate, John McCain."Hi this is Joe McCain I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project... I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John."”

I thought the district was known for it's traffic. Hell, anywhere near or around 5 o'clock on any given workday, most major cities have it. Has he never heard of rush hour? I guess he's only watched the movie, then again I take that back. I swear some people can be so damn dumb.

It Was Only a Matter of Time........

I'll be damn if he didn't do a good job but I just have one querstion....Where's his wig??!!

I love the Geighs! lol

Muffin tops……*sigh*

You would think the fact that the pants these people are wearing being uncomfortable as hell would be enough…..you would think.

You would think the fact they are tight enough to take your blood pressure would be enough….you would think.

You would think the fact someone, at some point, is talking about you would be enough……you would think.

You would think the fact that your belly looks like an extra boob in them would be enough…..you would think.

You would think that you would get tired of the stinging red ring that appears around your waist (ladies you know what I mean! we’ve all had it at least once) when you take those suckas off…….you would think.

You would think that your daughter poking your tummy would be enough……you would think

Ladies, if you know someone like this, someone who prefers their muffins a little closer to the heart and not just out of the oven, I beg of you……BE A FRIEND!! Intervene and take them to the nearest shopping plaza and introduce them to the next size up. My vision ain’t been the same since I saw this lady at the store earlier. Her MT was a lot worse than the picture if you can believe it and yes her daughter was poking at her tummy tum tum. *shudders*

Horoscopes

Virgo: No more trips down Memory Lane; you need to focus on the present. Sure, some of your yesterdays truly rocked, but so does today. The fun you have with Aries or Taurus is once in a lifetime.

I don't read my horoscope often and when I do it occassionally rings true to things that are going on in my life. The one you see above hit me like a ton of bricks when I read over it at 6 o'clock Sunday morning.

*Sidenote: I fell asleep (on the loveseat) watching some whack ass rental Z and I picked Saturday night and woke up at five Sunday morning in the same spot. lol

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about the past for a few weeks...old experiences (good and bad), friends, boyfriends, things that could have happened, or maybe even stuff that should have happened that I didn't allow. Simply put, I've had a bad case of the "whatifItis" and it's done nothing other than to focus my thoughts on things that really aren't important anymore. Sure, it's always great to reminisce but now it's time for me to jump back on the saddle and focus on today and the wonderful life I do have.

SOFA KING DEAD!!!

Why do folks insists on letting ish like this leak onto the internets???!!! Baby, next time just press delete. LMAO!!

Weekend Recap

This weekend turned out to be more eventful than I expected. I guess I should start with Friday. Z and I went to the fair, of course, and did our usual thing of walking around, stopping to eat a little here and there and people watching. Unfortunately for FreakyD, there were no half nekkid chicks available to photograph but there was an abundance of fashion fuckery provided by the teeny boppers. There was one set of girls that truly took the cake. They were all dressed alike in that they all had on the same type of clothes just in different loud colors. Their carefully thought out attire consisted of a too tight t-shirt, skin tight hot pants, and monochromatic plastic jewelry. I initially just shook my head until Z, who rarely calls folks out, made a comment about them being the FairDreamGirls then commenced to do a play on the Dreamgirls theme song from the movie and started singing “we’re you’re FairDreamgirls” . I was DUNZO!!! I tried to snap a pic but the camera on my phone reacts to slow so oh well. Sorry FD! Lol We also saw some tigers for an act they have. OMG, those of some of the most BEAUTIFUL creatures I have ever seen in my life. They were huge and intimidating (thank the lawd for being a big fence) but you couldn’t help but just to stare and admire them. I only wish we had gotten there soon enough to see the show. Oh well, that’s the story of my life….always a day late and a dollar short.

Saturday, I mainly lounged around the house during the day. I got the notion to get out of the house around 6 or so and called my friend to see if she was still doing the gathering @ her house. She said she was and also told me one of my running buddies from school was staying with her for the weekend. After a few stops around town, I stopped by her house and had a couple of drinks.

Sidenote: My friend had a Long Island Ice Tea w/rum made by Barcadi that was sooooo good! I have to try and remember to stop and get a bottle of it because if there’s one thing ARGal likes in her liquer is Rum…..YUM!!!

Anyway, after sitting around and catching up with everyone, I made an executive decision to go out to the alumni party. We made it there @ around eleven o’clock or so and the crowd was decent. I saw a few faces from my days there while walking around around (and getting another drink, lol).

Sidenote 2: I hate bar drinks. Why do they insist on putting bookoos of ice in your sh*t to water it down? For $7, half of my drink should not taste like H2O halfway through my drinking experience. *sigh*

I even saw AceBoonKoon there. Remember her? I’m too lazy to go back and find the post but needless to say that was a big surprise since (1) she didn’t attend the same college as me and (2) I haven’t spoken to or seen her in so long. I’ll have to post about that separately because to say that was interesting is an understatement. Lol I saw one of my homegirls and went to grab her to come over where I was sitting on my way back to the table I saw what I thought was a familiar face. I told her I’d BRB and went back to the bar and low and behold who did I see???? SOUTHERNGAL!!! I tapped her on her shoulder and she looked at me and smiled (she’s really friendly, I would have probably given me the side-eye. LMAO) I asked “Southerngal?” she smiled and gave me a big ole hug!

Sidenote3: Pictures don’t do her justice, she’s so pretty!!!

We didn’t talk for too long because I didn’t want to leave my friend waiting but once we saw each other face to face we realized we really didn’t know each other which is just so strange! Lol We talked a few minutes more and that was that. No pics or anything. WHAT?! Ya'll know I don't put my pics on the internets! LOL Southern, we should meet up for lunch or something one day, I neglected to mention that in my excitement. Hit me up via email.

Anyway, that was my weekend in a nutshell. More than what I planned but fun nonetheless.

What’s that?

There’s quite a bit going on this weekend in Central Arkansas. We have the start of the state fair today, the Susan G. Komen race for the cure tomorrow morning, and my college alma maters homecoming is tomorrow as well. Out of those 3 events, I will be doing 1 ½. What’s the half you say? I honestly had no plans of participating in any of the homecoming festivities. I remember SouthernGal asked me a few weeks back was I going to homecoming and my reply was “what’s that?”. Lol The entire time I attended there I went to maybe two football games and hell even that may be a stretch. I know for sure I went to at least one. My preference was to take a nap during the games so that I would be ready for the after parties. I told ya’ll I didn’t like sports. Lol FYI….Southern and I attended the same college and don’t know each other (although every time I see her face on her blog all I can think is that she looks REALLY familiar). We had the same major and everything so I am pretty willing to bet we took some classes together or at least passed each other in the halls of the BBA building quite often. :-)

Anyway…..my friends have been calling and asking me if I’m attending any of the functions. Of course, I’ve told them no but they are encouraging me to participate (after they had to remind me that homecoming was this weekend…I’m a mess). I told them if they can figure out a good reason to lure me out of the comforts of my home then I may reconsider. I was also invited to a house party Saturday night, so who knows. SouthernGal if I am persuaded enough, you may just see some strange chick with a short hair do come tap you on your shoulder hollerin out SOUTHERN!! Lol Just kidding, I’m not that crazy…well yeah I kinda am. Never mind.

Random thought: I cut my hair! I don’t think I mentioned it but I got it whacked off about 3 weeks ago. I got tired of the ponytail I was rocking everyday thanks to the summer heat. I initially wanted it cut like Tabitha on that Salon Makeover show on Bravo (LOVE that show by the way) but changed my mind and now it’s cut like V.Beckham’s hair. Not the cropped style she has now but the angled cut prior to that. Anyway, it’s cute on me and I love it. I think I shall keep it shorter for awhile because honestly these types of cuts have always flattered my face more.

Moving on, I won’t be doing the race for the cure. I haven’t even purchased a t-shirt yet! I’m so off track this year. I’m just not in the mood to walk through the streets of Downtown Little Rock/North Little Rock with 45,999 other women and children. I told my friend that if I go this year the best I could do was cheer from the sidelines and get all the free stuff they give out (because I usually miss out on most of it because I walk). She says she understands because she’s not going either. Lol Oh well, there’s always next year. I’ve participated for the past 7 years though so I guess me taking off one won’t hurt. I’m still going to run out today to the store they’ve set up (if time permits) to see if they have any shirts left. It’s the least I can do.

So that only leaves one thing for sure that I will be doing….THE FAIR. I know…I’m so country. Lol I’ve been feenin for a corn dog for awhile. I know some people will be like but they sell them at the grocery store. You know as well as I do that there is nothing like the taste of one @ the fair….nothing. I also want a turkey leg but not to eat by itself. I usually get a couple of them so I have one to make greens with now and one to make greens with later. I only cook them a couple times a year so it works out great. Speakin of I need to check with the local grocery store to see if they are doing that token thing again where you pay like fifty cents or a dollar to get in on the first day. If not, I may not be going to the fair either. Lol

Have a great weekend!

Brainwaves

Driving into to work this morning I heard THE most random thing on the radio. I was listening to a caller on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and she wanted Tom to speak to the listeners to encourage them on how important it was to vote because of an experience she had while at the beauty shop this weekend. This lady, who lives in Michigan, said she was speaking with a young girl about the elections. The girl proceeded to tell her that they don’t have to vote now because McCain dropped out of Michigan. (FreakyD, come get your cousin!!!)

I’ll wait while you pick your jaw up off of the floor.

Her mama must have spent a little too much time in front of the microwave while carrying her. Are the youngins nowadays really this lost and clueless?? Please tell me this was just a rare occurrence of stupidity and not the norm. I beg of you. My spirit is vexed.

All Show and NO SUBSTANCE

As usual with the tragedy that is Sarah Heath Palin, we got MORE OF THE SAME NOTHING! More having to repeatedly hear the words Maverick, Joe Six Pack (WTF is that about???), Governor, Mayor, and Alaska. More having to hear her never directly answer the question. More of her and that damn winking!! More of her hauling that damn baby around with her everywhere. I know I ain't the only person who thought that kid should have been at someone's house instead of up there. And why was she patting his back like that for? Wasn't he already sleep? I know that's beside the point but she just irritates me on so many levels.UGH!!

She played the media card and please believe me when I tell you they have not been NEARLY as hard on her as they should be. She needs to be called out her bullshit and held accountable for her actions. Her performance in this debate was nothing more than sentences that she had stated before and worked around to sound different. Yeah she may have picked up a couple of new catch phrases (Say it ain't so Joe) and may have given a shout out to the elementary school (WTF?) but it just didn't hit home. The only reason she (barely) made it through was because of that huge stack of note cards she had. If I didn't know any better I could have sworn she was on a cell over there texting somebody for help. lol

Biden on the other hand respected not only the American people but the moderator and answered the questions given. Answers that we want and need to hear. He did a good job of going after McCain and tying him to the Bush administration instead of trying to deliver lame ass one liners to dance around the topics. I think he is a great compliment to Barack and I absolutely cannot wait to see them elected into office!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!!!!!!!!

Fasten your seatbelts!

Work is kickin my patootie today, on the day of the debates no less, but I had to make time to fit this post in. I had intentions to get mentally prepped to listen to Sarah and all the fuckery she is sure to deliver tonight but yet I must work. I guess I'll just stop by the liquor store on the way home instead and pick up a bottle of something. Ripple anyone?? lol I figure I'll have a better chance of deciphering just what the hell she is saying if I am slightly plastered

Anyway, I found this vid on airamerica.com and it's quite a hoot. I listen to the live stream @ work sometimes during the afternoons because let's face it, there's only so much of Wendy Williams and her donkey I mean Charlemagne I can take. lol Take a looksie and ENJOY! And enjoy the debates tonight.



OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BREAFE!!!

This vid is hilarious ya'll!!

AR Gal Letter

Dear white lady,

I saw you and your man walking down the street early this morning on my way into work. As I sat waiting at the stoplight, I watched you guys and my eyes dwindled down to your feet. I thought you had on flip flops since the bottom of your foot looked like a dark shadow but to my surprise, there was nothing there. Just your dirty feet looking like charcoal briquettes. I looked over to your man and saw he had on foot apparel. Neither of you looked down and out on your luck and looked like you could afford at least one pair of shoes. So strange! As both of you turned the corner, you seemed to stumble. Perhaps you were drunk, perhaps not. In any circumstance, seeing you this morning made me scratch my head and wonder why you would venture out like that in 55 degree weather. All I ask is to do better next time. Your feet (and mankind) will love you more for it.

Thanks in advance,

AR Gal

UGH!!
