Do svidanya blyad (God bless you, bitch)

i'll take a cue off of diamond and write what i learned and not what i'm gonna change in this year. but i do believe in new years resolutions.  to me the end of the year is a good time to look back on everything.  you take the lessons you've learned and you implement them.

• things change: boy oh boy do things change.  people change situations change and when you think you're the only one staying the same chances are you're changing too.  don't be surprised when you wake up and the world isnt the way you left it.

• say what you want: if don't you will probably regret it.  you can't expect anyone to read your mind and if you want things to happen make them happen.  most often times it only takes a few words.  don't waste your breathe, don't waste your time. 

• take time for yourself: personally this semester was the most stressful i've ever had and i've found that even though there is always work, you have to take a breather for yourself at times.  the work will get done trust and believe, but if you can't push on you dont have it in you.  find something you like to take your mind off the work for a while and then get back on your grind

i actually learned a lot more this year but this stuff seemed more universal.  just do you in 2010 whatever that may be.

Farewell Bitches!

As we all know the new year is approaching and I thought it'd be cool to recap some things that I've learned in 2009.

*Disclaimer: this post will NOT contain a New Year's Resolution. You shouldn't wait until the beginning of a New Year to change something you're unhappy with. Oh yeah and I think I'm perfect the way I am :D...Kidding...

1. Hello Kitty is the Devil.

• Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HK freak, so when I heard this news I was immediately interested. According to one of my friends Hello Kitty is the devil or a symbol of the devil developed by the Chinese to harm America. When asked just how Hello Kitty could hurt Amercians she said it was because we buy it and it's a sign of the devil. o.O?

2. Studying really does pay off.

• This is so cliche but I must admit that it's the truth. This semester studying got me that good B+ in Math!

3. Going to a state school was a good decision.

• Based on the issues that some of my friends are having with their studies I feel as if going to a state school was a good decision for me. I know that I could've pushed through just as they are but for a basic degree, a state school was the best choice. Classes haven't been too hard, and its cost friendly.( And next semester I'm officially a Sophomore =})

4. If you want something done, do it yourself.

• Perhaps this is something that I should've learned a long time ago, but it really hit home this year. I've had a few things fall through because I relied heavily on someone else to take care of MY business. Although some of those things have set me back, the experience has taught me to always handle my shit myself.

5. I need a license.

• Enough said.

What have you learned people?

Triple Chocolate Bundt

Oh, how I love thee.

The triple chocolate bundt cake.

You fill me up with chocolately goodness everyday,

until you're gone.

Oh, how you complete me.

The triple chocolate bundt cake.

I'd journey there everyday,

to sample your sweet taste.

Oh, how I adore you.

The triple chocolate bundt cake.

It all just seems to fade away,

once your presence invades my day.

Triple Chocolate Bundt cake, you do so much for me.

Until you're gone.

dunkin on a reindeer

okay so this is handsdown my favorite commercial right now...even though i have no clue what its promoting...but santa is fly and krs-1 is rapping about kobe and lebron dunking on reindeer.  HI-larious. 
i guess it a christmas ode to the old muppet commericals with lebron and kobe...which i throughly enjoyed...i hope you enjoy this commercial as much as i do.

"no reindeer were harmed in the making of this video but they were dunked on"

Hater niggas...

Marry hater bitches.

And have hater kids.

Go Kanye.

i need you to say something baby...

okay, so i think i may have a bit of an obsession tad fascination with a certian jewish-canadian.

pictured: a very yummy man

i mean what's not to like...he's got waves for days and swag for miles...plus he's yummy. okay so i guess many have been jumping on the Drizzy Drake Rogers train this pass year....i wont say any names (coughvincecoughcough)...with the release of the mixtape of the year and a personal favorite of mine so far gone.  but i was a fan from way back when...back when he was one of three colored people on a little show you may know called degrassi: the next generation and he was still known as aubrey graham and was still pre-pubescent. before he hooked up with wayne before i went (completely) apeshit for him.  those were the days. when you could watch jimmy and ashley be the perfect couple and realize there were some black people in canada. but much has changed.

my how we have grown

i remember when degrassi had a special where they toured the casts homes and you found out that he was a rapper.

aubrey graham unscripted

skip to about 3:20 for the rapping

and Drake is now critically acclaimed and grammy nominated...and did i mention yummy...very yummy...and i love everything he's on.  from his appearance on dirty money's hurt to his new jawn say something...i basically have a playlist of drake songs on my computer...you know why? because his rhymes are consistently on point...as some friends of mine might say...he's that nigga...and he's delish.

so to recap boys and girls, here's what we like about aubrey drake graham aka drizzy drake rogers aka heartbreak drake:

• 
  
  he's yummy
  
  
  
• 
  
  he's that nigga right now
  
  
  
• 
  
  young mullah baby
  
  
  
• 
  
  he was jimmy on degrassi...nuff said
  
  
  
• 
  
  so far gone is the mixtape of the year
  
  
  
• 
  
  he's grammy nominated off a mixtape...what??!!!
  
  
  
• 
  
  he's yummy :)
  
  
  

Sick & Tired

This post is inspired by "Sick and Tired." Its a poem by Shihan, a poet, who appeared on Def Poetry Jam a few times. A quick youtube search of his name and the title should bring it up.

Before I start my list let me just say that I am not trying to say that I'm better than people or trying to tell people how to live their lives, but damn, some shit is just annoying. Also if you follow me on twitter, @d_ayanna, or you're my facebook friend you've seen some of my annoyances.

I am sick and tired of:

1. teenagers and love.
-yes I am still a teenager and yes I do have a novio who I have feelings for, let's just get that out the way before I sound like a hypocrite. My problem lies in the few peers that I have who constantly post statuses about "trying to find that special someone". Seriously you're still a child, you do not need to be in love. If you have the desire to love someone or something I suggest a build-a-bear. They're cute. They're cuddly and they don't talk back. If you want to be loved back then perhaps you should get a puppy. Besides isn't their an old adage that says something like if you don't look for it, it'll come?

2.yu!
-seriously wtf is that? Honestly it just looks stupid and it's pointless. If you really wanted to abbreviate "you" why not just use the FUCKING LETTER. I just don't get it. And it looks so dumb. Who thought of that? Well they should un-think it and they shouldn't be allowed to think anymore. Obviously we've seen the best that they can do, so let's just revoke that privilege altogether.

3.Tiger's Mistresses
-okay we get it, he's a serial cheater but now it's just overkill. I dont condone his actions I feel its rather selfish and wrong to cheat (not to mention stupid if you leave a trail a la"sexting"), but enough is enough. Imagine if you were his wife. Would you really want your husband's infidelities to be thrown in your face constantly? Thats like raping someone over and over and over. (That may have been an exaggeration but you get the point.) Even still what gives you the right to out him? Bitch you were a jumpoff, well from the jump. Play your fucking part! You know the rules and you knew he was married. Furthermore if you're jumpoff #8 you should be ashamed to admit that you've slept with him, seven other women BESIDES his wife have already said that they engaged in sexual activity with Tiger. I'm not saying he has anything, but InTouchWeekly wouldn't be my first stop. #I'mjustsaying! Let Tiger's dick be great.....(and let your pussy be great too, just don't try to destroy someone's life)

4. girl's referring to themselves as Barbie.
-maybe I'm a bit biased because as a child I didn't play with Barbies. Nevertheless I don't get why you'd want to be one. To me Barbie has always been a boring piece of plastic trash being pushed at little girls to keep them busy. She's such a fake representation of a person. It's unrealistic. She doesn't look like anybody I've ever seen, even the white girls. AND she's boring. I like clothes and dressing up as much as the next girl, but thats all she does. Who wants to play with a toy that does nothing? A toy that you must control and make do everything. Not I. Maybe I'm lazy. Yeah thats probably it. p.s. to all the Minajinites who've decided to call themselves "harajuko barbie" you should google it because I'm almost certain that she doesn't look like one.

Now sir...

Ok, just alittle explanation. A "Now Sir..." (A term coined by a good friend of mine) is something that prefaces alot of things. Sometimes a "Now Sir.." can go before something obnoxious that another person did. Or it could be rude. Or it could be ghetto. But no matter what, it is uncalled for, wrong, or just plain annoying. I'll do this from time to time (Idk about daily, monthly, weekly, We shall see)

The "Now Sir.." of the day goes to T Pain.

First T Pain.

So I'm up early as shit watching MTV Jams, when all of a sudden I see this video for T-Pain called "Take your shirt off"..I was intrigued. T Pain is rich, and a rapper, so I figured he hired some fine video models for this video. Oh how I was mistaken. Peep the video below.



Now, as I was watching the video, I felt a strange sense of deja vu. I had seen all of this before. People taking their shirts off, and swinging it around their head.

Hmmmmmmm...



Oh yeah. Petey Pablo already did that shit a good couple of years ago.

Make up some of your own shit Pain. The shirt twirl dance was done. I think Petey Pablo deserves a fat royalty check.

Till next time.

Better late than never...

Cheers Bitches.

(Sway voice) Waddup world, this is Vince. (Sway voice off) Im really bad at this whole introduction thing. Kinda makes me feel like when you get to a new school and the teacher makes you stand up, "Say your name, classicfication, and something special about yourself." Now I could always do the first two, but the last one always had me stumped. "WTF is so special about me that sets me apart???" would always float through my head. I can sing, but its not good. I cant do a backflip. My tongue can't touch my nose. So I usually wind up talking about my "Geographical tongue" (Mind out of the gutter people, wikipedia that shit.) So yeah, thats how I will introduce myself. My names Vince, I'm a Sophomore at Howard, and I have a geographical tongue.

I like alot of things (movies, music, videogames, culture, etc) I also dislike alot of things (stupid people, people who dress up their pets, etc.) I will post about both.

Stay tuned.

(Fuck I forgot to tag shit)

...sing like you think no ones listening

i should be studying or sleeping or something not typing this. well when i was busy not being busy this song crept into my head. i dont know why its actually quite old. its the the perfect uplifting sad song. i kinda need that right now. finals are weighing me down right now, but thats another story...enjoy the song.

"you would kill for this just a little bit..."

pursuit of happiness

"tell me what you know about dreams...."

"this blog isnt about anything...this blog is about everything"

....my name is Dimes.

I am me, *bitch! I love all things pop culture. Laughing is my thing. My opinions may offend but I mean no harm. I welcome your challenges :) However if you ever find yourself getting too worked up, then you should take the advice on my shirt.

Now, I'm about to help myself be great by continuing to study for finals (blurg!) but I'll be back soon.

*cursing/swearing: I try to stay away, but curse words always find me. Sorry in advance.

dead on arrival
