HELP!

Journee' On Single Ladies/ Single Ladies Gang Fight!



I know some of my readers may think I'm a Beyonce hater.... Never that I love a few of her tracks. Oddly this being one of them. And no don't get me wrong. I'm not one of these chicks out here feenin to get married. FUCK THAT. (Been there done that, don't feed into the hype) But knowing what I know this song entertains me a hella of a lot! So I remix the worlds. "All the single ladies. All the single ladies. Take the ring OFF..... O O O O O O O O O O" LOL. But these chicks out here be on some other stuff when it comes to this track. Like its a theme song. Like its going to get a man to marry them. But let me break this down 1. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it and not want it no more!


-----> Never get someone you dating name tatted on you. Best way to become a single lady and stay one. LOL.


I have said this time and time again. Don't let Bonyka [She looks more like a Bonyka then Sasha] get you messed up in this game. There is nothing wrong with being a single women. Don't feel like you need a man or a ring to be whole. Trust I'm not a love hater.... If that what you do then do it! I'm just saying don't be afraid to stand on your own! You can put a ring on yourself. Fuck if he like it. Wake up with your roses smelling like boo boo ooo oooooo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qaZ9VzeprI It's ok to like the song but take it for what it is.

But another reason I now love this song is because I was lucky enough to witness something so just wonderfully foolish! To the point where people don't believe me when I said it happen. They think I made it up. I know a bunch of totally random things happen in my life. People I am really not creative enough to make up such greatness! I tried to tape it (before I got my flip) But its not the best. But you can look closely and see that it happen.


I was hanging out downtown QC with my cousin @ Rock Bottom one night. Rock Bottom has a area where you can sit and look out side and check out what's going on. So while I was sitting there killin my salmon salad I looked up and saw a group of gay young men in white zip up hoodies. And thin jeans. (Some of those kat's had on tights. No way jeans can be that thin... Yes THIN! They were beyond skinny!) And they had the bottom of their hoodies wrapped around their L Bows! Runway walking down the street.... I thought that was a treat in its self. But nope they were just teasing me.....


THEY HAD MORE IN STORE!!!!!!

Like 5 min's later they come back down the street this time they were looking a wee bit ticked. Walking with diva like strength. So we are thinking... What the hell pissed them off.... And then we see it.... YEP! It was a rival gay gang coming up. (I suppose) They had on V necks and thin jeans (not as coordinated as the other crew) But it was something out of west side story Photobucket Like when they came down the block snapping! My cousins likes to say it was like MJ's bad video Photobucket !Which ever greatness was unfolding before our eyes lol. You see they ended up running into each other in front of Fox & Hound. It was like something out of a movie. I was glued to the window dropping dressing everywhere. Wondering what was about to happen. It was a few finger snaps and then the grand show!
One of the hoodie crew members broke out and started doing the single ladies DANCE Photobucket . I kid you not! Just randomly in front of us! YES YES YES... And was getting it too! But the oddest thing happen... Well since it was a battle I guess it wasn't that odd. But hell it shocked the hell outta me! When the one in the white hoodie crew dipped down. A member of the other team dips down too.... {Like he was saying... O hell*s* NO!!!!!!!!!} and they pop up doing the fist punching the ground part of the video! Photobucket O what a treat! I honestly couldn't take it. Because it was some jazz hands big finish! WOW! All that greatness care of Beyonce's single ladies! OOOOOOOOOOOOO I need to buy her a damn drink!!!!! Normally you have to pay big for entertainment like that. Yes I love it!

My week in review!

Man this has been one of the crazy-est weeks ever. I feel like I'm a sophomore in college again! LOL But the week hasn't been all smiles. Its been bitter sweet. So I'm going to get the bitter out of the way first. This week my extended family has suffered a tragic death. Please keep my Cuz-O and her fam in your thoughts prayers and meditations. I don't think i could ever come to grips with how cold hearted some people can be. It's really sad.


Back to the happier stuff.

I have to take us back to the Quill show. I have a pic that me & DD took before the "Nigga Moment" unfolded. <span class=Photobucket" border="0"> This show as a good way to start the week. From that day we go to Monday. I hung out with my homeboy Bis for some best friend time the god father & egg rolls....!!!!!! Yeah my friends spoil me lol. Now the next great friend event was FREE 99 @ the IHOP! Here we are wildin
Free 99 from Empress Journee on Vimeo.

Yeah we show out! lol. So after returning from my mini trip I got back into the CIAA mood. Went to this event. WoW. It was an OVER FLOW of foolishness in my city this week. I happen to get a few clips and flicks of things that just made me laugh and that I enjoyed lol. So Lets check it out.
We went to this show.... & these women came and sat beside us smelling like a liquor house mixed with rusty ass cigarettes & moth balls. It was the fucking worse. One women got up and left the row because these chicks smelled so bad. Yes I said it. & for me having to smell that shit I'm putting that ass on blast-O
This Chick from Empress Journee on Vimeo. We are so smooth with our blast-o's you wouldn't even seen it coming. Do you see the hair???? Wow. Finger waves and
scrunchies Yes Scrunchies people!!!! You would have thought I saw a dog walk on two legs the way it that there amazed me. But she didn't top the cake. The topper has to be the lady in this red jacket we spotted @ the Day party... WOOOOOW.... WOOOW.... I don't know what makes me so luck as to be the one who sees such foolishness. But I love my life lol. Photobucket WOW..... Really!!!! Really... she was walking around looking like a extra on star track!!!!! It was that deep!
Untitled from Empress Journee on Vimeo. Now for some reason we always seem to make friends in the club lol. You will see my suite buddy saying random things in the cam lol. Ty from CT! lol (Shot Out to him!) He was in there clowning the star track extra harder then me. & Trust that was way hard to do lol. That lady is a prime example of a women with NO real friends. NONE @ ALL.... It really made me sad to know that her friend pool was so shallow. But I thank who ever didn't tell her to find something else to wear. Because I enjoyed it greatly!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!


Untitled from Empress Journee on Vimeo. O She was going to get it! (Much love to DJ Chase! He killed that day party!!!! I promise you he's doing my next event. I party-ed like it was no tomorrow. Doing everything from the butt to the humpty dance. You don't want it with my humpty.)
Now during this week- weekend... i had a lot of fun. I mean my business partner came downPhotobucket. Man was that trippy. As soon as we get up we get harassed by the police. I have NEVER been harassed by the police NOT NEVER. Sure a ticket here and there. But nothing like what happen. A guy was standing my my car with a beer bottle. He wasn't hanging on my window or anything he's like 20 steps away from my car! When like five cops come to where we are and start flashing lights and quizzing us. I mean I had just got out the house. So I hadn't had a sip of a drink! Didn't smoke not nothing. They were being real extra. Well correction one officer was being willy limp dick extra! The other one's were pretty cool. Looking at his ass like would you please leave these people alone! I promise that prick tried to run down our family trees! Soooooo how do you know them. When did you guys meet. How long you been here. They saw us pull in the lot and look for a park. So he was really being a fucking ass wipe. QC Finest right there. ALL DAY! I have VERY sensitive eyes. So his flashing this light in my eyes was not only extra but hurt like fuck! He held it there for like 4 or 5 minutes. I was seeing all types of spots and flickers. PISSED! I can't stand when some folk get a badge and then want to start act-n all extra.
Needless to say we took off from there hella fast.
Ended up walking down town. Cooling out. & chillin in this lot. Where I slipped up. This chick was FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED UPPPPPPPPP!!! Trying to fight everyone in the lot. Shit was just funny to me. & I didn't turn on the cam for nothing. :-( She was funny. Trying to fight the chick trying to help her. & this other kat. I'm not going to put him on BLASTO but this other kat had the nerve to LICK my fucking window. YES! He licked the outside of my car window. That shit was the NASTY-EST crap I have ever seen. So we get into it. He say he didn't lick my window he just put his tongue on it. Really PEOPLE! Say no to drugs! ErRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRr...... NEGRO's I tell ya.
Anywho if you can't tell I'm working off of something like two hours sleep. Maybe... But the weather took a turn for the rainy. So the day party wasn't about to go down. Instead me my brother Photobucket (I haven't seen my brother in forever. LOL. We close but when you live on opposite sides of town. You have to pick your battles lol. He all buff now look lol.) and cus braved a two to three hour wait @ the cheese cake factory. BANGING. I think my next rant will be getting a cheese cake factory on my side of town. You have to go over the mountain and through the woods to get there now. But we had a ball! & it gave me the boost I needed in order to con.t my party-n lol. This night was crazy. Gloomy weather and all... I did a double hitter that night. Started off with my girls @ Cosmo's! The clips are too dark. from that party. But trust we got some pics. The cosmo's party was crazy! (Shot Out to the guy who kept buying me long islands! lol) Man! SHoW YA RIGHT! I wasn't drunk but I was real nice! lol. Photobucket I will party with the green shirt guy any time. He kept the drinks coming lol. LOVED IT. I even ran into my buddy I haven't seen since our day's @ Dub C Photobucket But to truely enjoy CIAA you can't just go to one party! Nope flipped it went and kicked it @ the Camp Lo joint! WORD. Almost my whole QC hip hop fam was out there. Man we had a ball. I was on stage act-n up

Change Your Style

Man its crazy how everything just flows right now.... OK I was on my homie Kam's web site. When I came across something hell up-setting!!!! I knew we had a problem of wack music out here. But wack covers to boot stop playing!

Photobucket

Are you fucking for real.... I'm a real life 80's baby! I remember the 80s very clearly! And the care bears were a major part of that for me. And he just going to gun down my cuddly care bears? He has no shame. Has me scared of the green one now... Who knew he was a thug... After all these damn years. When did they go from care bear stares Photobucket to gang banging... Why would he do such a thing....

This isn't the only FUCKED UP COVER! Check out his web site for the rest of the foolishness...

http://www.supastition.com/blog/2009/02/19/wtfcover/

But after seeing this foolishness they call covers. I think it will be a wonderful time to toss up the video from Amdex & Kam Moye Change Your Style! Wack music wack covers.... Come on.... I think its past time to Change YOUR STYLE UP... If you think this is whats hot in the streets! (you know killin care bears and shaking your stanky leg.) Then it's past time for you to change up your style.!

Kam hit that shit on the head. "You aint poppin in the streets! Stop googling ya self"


I'm about to start a save the care bears movement or something. Do we need ribbons for this? I'm worried....

Today I Remember.....

Today I remember my best friend Brandon J. Deese. He was murdered Feb. 26, 1999 over some BS. People think before you act! Killing is some wack shit! Love ya B! I guess you were always right. The good do often die young.

Journee' On Traffic PART 2

This is a Empress Journee' scientific FACT! People who drive with their hands on ten and two Photobucket.... Are NOT driving the speed limit! In fact they are driving 10 below it! & they are really going to start traffic! & they are really the cause of road rage everywhere. I SAID IT!


AND people people people.... Please take this next lesson from me & remember it when your driving. If you are on a four lane street. Two going north Two going south (Or what have you). And there is two solid yellow lines or median Photobucket . A road like this.... If a bus stops on the opposite side of the road then you are on. You don't have to stop... They can't pick kids up from the opposite side of the road. They will have to come back around and pick them up. So only the lane that has to stop is the one going in the same direction as the bus. Not all damn four! Come on people put your thinking cap on! People.

Journee on Flirting

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
The oddest things happen to me when it comes to men.

Photobucket

But its this one time that just stands out in my mind. I was @ this R&B open mic set. I'm standing up looking towards the stage when this man walked up behind me. And whispers in my ear
Photobucket
"Is that real"
I flip around in full you too close to me. You need to step back. You about to lose ya pinkies and don't know it mode. & fell for it.
"Is what real?"
I knew he wasn't talking about my butt. Because lets be real I don't have a fatty. I knew he wasn't talking about my hand bag. Come on now. I honestly couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

He looks at me and says "is your hair real!"
& Before I had a chance to answer him this fool took his whole hand and stroked my hair! REALLY like finger entanglement. Like wrapping my hair around his fingers type rub, & said "Yeah more women need to start wearing their real hair." This man looked like he was good and 45 years old! So I knew he knew better! I like to had lost my mind! Not only did he disrespect my space. But he touched a brown chicks hair.

His life was in danger and he knew it.

I BLANKED on that ass. Nicely.

Journee's dating rule number one would be KEEP YA HANDS OUT FOLKS HAIR! Don't get our wig split unnecessarily!



NEW BOOK!

Photobucket

OK I told you guys I read too. I just got finished with this book called Big Juicy Lips. For some reason it didn't grab me right off the back. It should have but it didn't. I think that was just me. But let me tell you. Towards the end I couldn't put this book down. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW @ everything that came out of left field. I wasn't READY! For the turns this book took. Stop playing. I honestly think the book didn't grab me from the start. Because of the main character was getting on my nerves. LOL... Real life. If you can read this book and not want to bitch slap her please let me know how you did it. LOL.


Over all this book is a good read.

Friends.....

I am having the BEST WEEK EVER

Photobucket! Honestly. I don’t know what’s changed, well I know what’s changed. But who knew letting go could feel so good. My friends are the best. I feel like I’m back in college right now. Last night we all went to the IHOP for free pancakes lol. This whole week I have been thinking about how lucky I am to have such good friends. Last year was the worse year of my life. HANDS DOWN. And all my friends just gathered around me. And brought me back to my Empress status. And I was sad reading this chicks blog I follow. When she said that best friends were over rated. And another blog that said she didn’t have close friends like that. I was sad because I use to be that chick too. Until the right group of people came and changed my life around. I know everyone out here aren’t good friends. You have to watch out for fake people. But don’t push everyone away because you are afraid to open up. I know if I didn’t have these great people in my life. Man. Life would be an unadventurous BORE. We are all so different but it works. We are never afraid to let our different personalities to shine. We encourage each other in everything we do. & hold each other down. I so love our weekly happy hours and just coolin out. So everyone of my blog friends do something for me please. Just take some time this weekend to enjoy your friends. I know I will! The Crazy’s!

Room 401

Man this was my favorite show when it was on. I'm pissed it had such a short run. Because this right here.... This foolishness right here. Was great. If that boy hair Photobucketwasn't the best of all.... Trust him breaking out "He GONE!" made me bout wait myself. But please pay attention to how he run. It's the best!






But I have to say this guy is a great friend. LOL. Because he did yank her ass and made sure she was cool. Had this been me and my brother. I think his ass would have left me lol. Let's keep it real.

Journee’s Pet Peeve’s

I have many. I am a very complex person. I really don’t like when people repeat themselves. Like “ Did you see that game the other night. Yeah …. Yeah…. Yeah…” That shit works my last good nerve. But we had a meeting today. And I got stuck in there with one of those chicks who just didn’t know when to shut the hell up. You know like the chick in class who just asked so many questions! The class ends up running way behind the bell. The mother fucker in traffic school who thinks, that this would be a great time to share their life story. That bitch. I guess I wouldn’t be so pissed if we didn’t have a 30 min meeting last week! That stretched to two hours behind her asking these dumb questions. And telling horrible stories to go along with it. I was waiting on her to bust out “This one time @ band camp….”Photobucket That’s who that bitch is. She already gets on my bad side for being beyond loud on calls. You can hear her mouth while you’re @ the front door. Picture a football field! You on one end she’s clear on the other end. And it sounds like that trick is right beside you. I mean I come from a family of loud folk. So for me to say someone’s loud like this. You know there is a problem. Then the same chick sits beside me and bust out. I have strep throat. I promise you guys I was about to choke that bitch. You just going to sit beside me and tell me you are the out break Photobucket. I will never understand why people come to work sick. Hell we got sick days use them. Trying to take the whole office out because you got hit with the bird flu. I honestly think DJ Hughley said it the best…. “There is always one mother fucker at your job that’s this close to you beating their ass.” . Thank you for listening. I just can’t stand Loud know it all’s that be wrong as hell. And wasting other people time. I’m thinking about taking up a collection so I can hire someone to do a drive by bitch slap lol. So I can run up after it happens and be like “NOOOOOOOOOO! Why would someone do that to you? Are you ok.?” & then laugh my ass off. O what it means to dream.

LIES LIES LIES

So I woke up this a.m. with a major smile on my face! And it’s really not in me to just get up on my soap box. But it’s unlike me to ignore something like this. OK in my life and in my friendships the worse thing a person can do to me is LIE. It’s worse coming from friends. But fibbers are one of my major pet peeves. I put it out there from day one of the friendship. That lies are unnecessary. Most people say “I’m the realest. I have no reason to lie.” But they know good and damn well that they lie more than a little bit. But me I keepest it real. Hell honestly I would be one of the 1st candidates for “when keeping it real goes wrong.” (For the Chapelle heads
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong... - Celebrity bloopers here) LOL (I’m working on my tack though)

To the point.

So anyway. I have (had) this friend who just recently told this lie that he has to be put on blast for. A few years back he moved away from here. & he’s now like major hours away. Far from a car ride away. (Anything over 3 hours 5 is pushing it. I’m flying! Period.) So he don’t get to come home often. So when I get this text telling me that he was in town. Photobucket I got happy. As you can see my friends are dear to me. So when one returns after one has been away from the fold for so long. We welcome them home BIG TIME! So soon as I got the text. I sound the alarm. I was busy the night I got the text, So I set everything up for the weekend. He texted me over the next few days. And he is telling me of all this stuff about how he’s in the city. And what he’s doing in the city. I mean for days. He’s building on the fact that he’s home. So weekend comes. I’m about to go pick him up. & he’s like naw man I’m just playing with you I’m not in town…. What in the bloody hell. That’s not playing. That’s a boil face lie! In real life! Who over the age of 16 years of age would just create this lie? He is not even in a position where he should be wasting lies Photobucket . I always think you should save your lies for something major. And not just waste them on things like this. I mean who really puts that much time and energy in a fucking lie. I think that shows you have a real problem. Why would you just hit someone up and tell them you are somewhere you not. Like that lie won’t ever be uncovered. People are going to notice if you’re not even in this state. The only reason he got away with it for as long as he did. Was because his folk stay on the polar opposite sides of the earth compared to where the crew and I. We all pretty much live on the same side of town! Oddly off the same street. So when it comes to leaving our side of time to go across hell. It’s a trip that we don’t take lightly.

I just can’t trust a person who can do such a random lie like that. I mean that was the most random shit ever. I’m sorry I just don’t like lies. Let alone random lies. Like who do shit like that?

I know I’m ranting but I really don’t like LIE-ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR’s…… it’s the most random thing to do.

What’s the point for lies?

Photobucket


(Although I'm very much pissed about the lies that were told. One of my friends told me, that I wouldn't really put ole boy on blast! About this childish shit he did! But as Miss. Beyonce say... "YOU MUST NOT KNOW BOUT ME.... ~BLASTO~!)
