Hi, Hater :)

If I ever decided to write a biography or do a movie on my life, that junk would be such a fun ride, I’d probably be paid a nice lil’ penny for the story.  I promise, who would’ve thought that past high school, people have suuuuuuuper petty dramas poppin’ off in their lives on the daily?!  I’ve refrained from blogging for the past few days because I knew that if I just started typing what I was feeling, I was going to go in on a few people.  I may not have named their names, but if they read it (and their uber-wack a**es probably would) they might feel some kinda way (which I don’t care) and possibly go in even harder- thinking that I CARED about the crap they were talking.  I mean, I DO care to an extent….because I really didn’t think that men….oh, excuse me…HUMANS WITH PENISES….acted in such vaginal ways.  (My dad is a man, and I can’t put “them” in the same category as him.)  The fact that people really sit around and talk about stuff and people that don’t even concern them was really bothering me.  I do believe in the phrase, “where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire,”  but these fools had just decided to concoct a story.  Booooooo!  As Jay loosely said, “being gossipy is a female trait,”  but I have come to realize that bitches come with both sets of equipment.  So why give the energy?  Me and my dude sat and had a good talk and laugh about it and I let my almost-anger simmer away before I blogged.  And here I am…Teflon Don-Diva…with a smile on my face and in my heart, a middle finger to “them”.  All the while singing “Hi Hater.”  All this drama and I aint even famous yet!   How they gonna feel when THAT happens?!  (lol)

This week, my group has been in the studio for the first time by ourselves, writing and recording material for ourselves.  I’ll admit, it feels hella weird without Adonis guiding the sessions.  He’s just so good at what he does and he makes us better at what we do.  But at some point, the baby birds gotta fly on their own and see how to make their own way.  So we’ve been feeling it out as 3 this week.  So far it’s been good….and a learning experience.  Learning new ish is always a good thing and helps set you up to be waaaaay greater later.  I set up the sessions with the main goal of helping my girls get that needed experience.  I hope we take away more than just some music away from the week.

Wednesday, Kelee, Vashti and myself went to Opera to the Heineken Red Star Soul Show to watch our boy BMC perform.  He rocked, indeed!

It’s always funny to be that fly on the wall, though, and listen to what people are saying about other people.  While standing outside the venue, a few people were trying to figure out exactly what B was gonna do in the show.  They thought maybe he was just hosting because, as one girl put it, he’s JUST a producer, and surely he couldn’t be performing.  I guess people like Sean Garrett have the public shook (lol) and they’re unsure that producers can be legitimate artists, too.  I know those people were pleasantly surprised by B’s performance.  You can check it www.myspace.com/therealbryanmichaelcox.  And one of my favorite ladies, and a serious role model, Joi Gilliam won the Independent Achiever award before the show started.

Yaaaay, Joi!  She’s one of the coolest artists I’ve ever seen and one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever met.  Wanna be like her when I grow up (lol).  I actually think we’re related (hahahahaaa).  Check her at www.myspace.com/joi.

What else….I also bought some furniture this week.  Whoo-Hoo!!!  Now that may sound like nothing, but ya girl hasn’t had furniture of her own in I don’t know how many years!  I’m good for rocking with a completely bare living room in an apartment.  But I got sick of living in my bedroom, so I broke down and went to IKEA and bought something cute.

Got my little Handy-Hilda on and put that ish together and, TAH-DAAAH, I now have a new living space!  Got some pictures and lil decorations….it almost feels like I have a home now (smile) except this will not be my home for very long.  It does have a good vibe, though.  Now if I could just get a dinette set, some kitchen skills and food in the fridge, I’d be in homemaker-biz!  Hmmm, somehow that feels less than likely   RIght now, I’m quite good with where I am…on the verge of major change and greatness.  And can’t no wack losers, dramas/rumors, lack of furniture or homemaker-tendencies kill that!
