Welcome To The World Blue Ivy Carter
Jay-Z released first pictures of baby Blue Ivy Carter, via his online blog Life + Times. Naturally, the pictures are beautiful and capture the “happiness” factor of child birth.
I’m posting from my phone, so excuse my lack of info/commentary.
Congrats Jay and Bey!
(I think she looks like Juelz!)
New Video: Give Me All Your Luvin’ – Madonna (Feat. @NickiMinaj and M.I.A)
Not completely in love with the song…but the video is freaking awesome. Super colorful and fun. Kinda cougar-ish, considering Madonna is considerably older than any footballer in that school themed video.
M.I.A’s varsity jacket was pretty much the shit and I really enjoyed the channeling of Marilyn Monroe at the end. Thoughts?
90s Music – Paula Cole “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone”
Call me crazy…but I think this song foreshadowed my parents divorce! My mom used to play this all the time while we were riding home from school, except she would sub in “where have all the black men gone” during the chorus. At that moment I just thought my mom was a stellar lyricist…but now that I’m older, I think she was subconsciously complaining about my dad.
But I could be totally wrong. In any event, this is one of the songs that I happen to be conditioned to love from childhood.

Don’t Leave Your Sh*t, OK?
First and foremost, my guy friends crack me up. I can say with complete confidence that I enjoy a deep laugh from a semi-barbaric situation they have encountered, at least twice a week. My most recent gut-buster included a situation where a chick left some of her belongings at my boys house. I’ve decided to share because truthfully I’d love to hear you guys thoughts on the matter.
Situation: My homeboy is in a non-committed relationship with this lady; they are not together and haven’t established boundaries or stipulations to their “friendship”. They have consistent and mostly sexual sleepovers, which for most women is the unspoken “we are exclusive”, however for most men this means nothing. Recently, this lady has started leaving small personal belongings in my homeboys bathroom, bedroom and even living room space. Now, this wouldn’t seem like a bad thing if both of them were aware that they were in a relationship. Clearly to her, they are comfortable and she is “marking her territory”. To him, the psycho b*tch has got to go; how dare she leave anything at HIS house for any of his OTHER friends to find and inquire about…
Here is where the funny part kicks in.
