So maybe this is why.

Came across this...

"Depressed women have more sex than those who are happier, regardless of whether they are in a relationship or not, a study of Australians has found.

A survey of Melbourne women presented at an international mental health conference has concluded that females who suffer from mild to moderate depression have a third more sexual activity than those who are not.

They also had more sexually liberated attitudes, a bigger variety of sexual experiences and, if single, were more likely to partake in casual sex, Dr Sabura Allen, a clinical psychologist at Monash University, said."

This is really good to know/keep in mind (for the nymphs out there). It also makes sense, but I never really thought of that. Hmm.

just when you think....

...its all good, it turns out that its not.

yea i know its been a while. i've been kinda focused and kinda preoccupied with my personal life to make time for blogging, but i could use the therapy. speaking of therapy -maybe the fact that i haven't hollered at emily in a while is the reason why i'm feeling so glum.

i kinda feel like venting, but at the same time, i don't know what to vent about. nothing is really wrong per say, it's just one of them days (thanks Monica). i just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

i woke up at 7:30, courtesy of my phone alarm, to only walk out into rain. there is a big gray cloud and that annoying, spit-like rain that is burdening Philadelphia right now. And, its supposed to continue all weekend. i never realized how affected i am by the weather, but the weather today proved to be a HUGE boner shrinker. like, fo real (farewell, Seattle).

soo i came back to my room to then turn around and go to work to then stare at an excel spreadsheet, to then go get ignored by my spanish teacher, to then go back to work. so here's the deal with spanish: i haven't really been absent that much, but two of my absences happened to fall on the day of a quiz and the day of a test. i missed a test on monday. he reprimanded me yesterday and told me that he would have to speak to his supervisor about whether or not i could take a make-up.

patiently awaiting for the verdict is kinda killing me. i cant afford to fuck up my gpa and i feel like my freshman year, careless attitude is haunting me again. no thanks.

anyways, i have a ton of papers to do all of the sudden. and one of the papers is 20 pages and worth 80% of my grade. that's daunting.

ugh.

im done venting. its not really helping, its just making me recall all the stuff i have to do.

that's the thing, i can do the work, i can time manage and i can excel, but i have NO motivation. like, none at all. maybe a smidge, but that's it. where did my motivation go?? it was here, but now i can't seem to find it. not a good look.

im just feeling down.

Mood : Morbid :-/

boo. lame. no me gusta. tomorrow is friday and 2 of my hs friends are coming to visit, so hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.

as for now...i'm gonna try to get some work done.

i would much rather take a nap.

...i just might.

Michelle! I found it!

So a while back in 2005 when I was working at Camp Nejeda (diabetes camp) my good friend Michelle and I had two ongoing alter egos: Tom Jones and Richard Simmons.

Now Michelle, being the creative and funny lady that she is,decided to make a picture of my secret love affair with Mr. Simmons.

Observe:


Now of course I thought this was pure hilarity. I didn't even need to know the context of this picture or anything because it in of itself is magic.

But lo and behold, last night I finally fucking found out where this picture came from!

I HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME A FAN OF RICHARD SIMMONS. HE'S THE MAN.

end.

Comedic genius? Definitely. Please Watch:




Side Note: This show is aired on ABC Family.

So funny. So inapprops. So suggestive. So queer...

I love it :)

Daft Punk: [dahft pungk] (n.) - French geniuses that make the sickest beats/ dopest lyrics/ best music ever.

So you know how when you like something, you do it all the time? For example - when I was first introduced to salmon I couldn't get enough of it, so I managed to incorporate it into every single meal. I did the same when I discovered Cheez-Its. And barbies. And Will Ferrell.

Well, my friends,I have found my new obsession. I have always been a fan of Daft Punk but I never heard this mix before. It has made me want to see them in concert THAT MUCH MORE.

It gives me chills. Enjoy:

Yes Please

I want these shoes SO bad.

Ms Key's has been on her grown and sexy lately. I miss the braids...not gonna lie.

Well looky here

To be honest, he kinda tuned me off just cuz every teeny bopper loved him back in the day, but he has gotten increasingly handsome. After seeing this pic, I'm def a fan.

Ralph Lauren might want to holler about an ad campaign...

RSN - I'm happy he said bye to that Mickey Mouse chain.

I WISH this was a joke...

Yes, folks. Someone actually went there.


I'm ashamed. And utterly embarrassed. This is a whole new definition of HOT MESS.

I was so proud of us. I feel like we celebrated Barack's victory in such a classy and wholesome way. But alas. Some Bonifaquitalatifah Johnson had to go do some reckless shit like polish Barack AND Michelle on her waaayy too long hoodrat nails.

Damn shame.

Get it Girl

Beyonce, fall back.

This dude is AMAZING! I am so thoroughly entertained by this video, its not even funny.

I don't know what it is about this song that has the gays so excited, but they are alll over Ms. Knowles new single. I'm not too sure how I feel about the outfit, but he is so entertaining that the outfit is forgivable.


Get it:

She stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet

I get hooked on a song when the beat is ill.

This song is so dope (previous blog song). The video is nice too but alas, copyright infringment is alive and well and I couldn't post the vid on my blog.

NERD/Neptunes never fail! I really only have 3 artists on my "They can do no worng" list (in order):

#1 - T-Pain
#2 - Lupe
#3 - Neptunes
#4 - Weezy (almost)
#5 - Jeezy (almost)

Still worth the listen:

A noble dick...

And the magic that is Def Poetry continues. She's the bomb:

Aww Papa

This morning was my usual routine - get up, shower, brush teeth, make coffee, and get dressed while watching re-runs of Fresh Prince. One of the commercials that came on was an ad campaign for the federal governments attempt at emphasizing the importance of fatherhood.

Since most of the non-exsistent fathers are black, of course a black guy is featured in the commercial, but quite frankly, its one of the cutest commercials I've seen thus far. It gets the point across while still maintaining a light-spirited attitude and I loved it.

It's commercials like these that make me wish I didn't fit the typical minority stereotype of only having a single parent. I used to get extremely depressed over it, but my mom is the best mom/dad/best friend I could ever have, so whatever.

Brava to whoever thought of this concept. Simply brilliant. Enjoy:

Stephanie Strikes Again!

The LOML found this vid on YouTube and I had to share it.

This is what I call skill, my friends. Human monkeys? Perhaps. All I know is that this is amazing.

People are crazy. I love people.

Last one...for now...

Ok ok ok. This is the third def poetry post within the past 15 min, but I just can't help it.

Dana Gilmore is a force to be reckoned with.

Shout out to Winsome :)






Bam.

Yellow Rage

Yellow Rage is the name of this performance (I'm not racist) and this shit is illlllll.

They legit spit fire.

RSN- Now that I realized how much I love Def Poetry Jam and how I have not been publicizing its magic on my blog, be prepared for many poetry videos to come.

Don't fuck with Asians. Ever. Observe:

I Love Love

I can't believe I haven't put this up yet.

This is one of the BEST performances on Def Poetry I've ever seen. Damn yo. Love is a beautiful thing :)

He is so dope and so talented and so relate-able. This is the video that inspired me to start writing.

Worth the watch, I promise:

Palintology

Sooo though the election is over, I still can't really stop talking about this character Sarah Palin. Everyone and their mother was her for halloween and I personally just think she's really entertaining.

BBC news has titled this Palin sensation "Palintology" which is absolutely brilliant.

This video is a perfect example of how many people are talking about her/trying to be her. Peep the Palin impersonator standing to the right of McCain at a rally a couple of weeks ago:



HILARIOUS! She actually waves and says thank you! Hot damn

Doggie Style?

Meet Toffee:


Two Words: Tini Puppini

Wow.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

This would look ridiculous on a human, let alone a poor animal. Are they trying to inspire kids to wear this shit? Or torture their unknowing animals with this as their everyday wardrobe?

I don't know what is on the minds of the toy makers these days. Not only is the concept messed up, but the fashion itself is whack and outdated. Lets dissect this picture:

1) The glittery head band - I'm pretty sure the last time someone wore one of these was in 1996...if that. And if their going for the Auberella-headband-look...well..that doesn't work either.

2) The quaff- Between the tumor on the top of its head and the pink and white highlights...

3) The gold studded collar - bling?

4) The pseudo-leopard print shirt and the tight jeans - no comment.

5) The black platform shoes. All four of them. On a dog.

Aaaaanndd on top of all of this, the commercial is even more absurd! I tried to find it on YouTube, but no luck, so please look out for it. In the commercial, Tutu....or Toffee exclaims "I love my tail in these jeans!" Wow. Really now?

What's even worse? They named the dogs Tisha, Toffee and Tutu. And the slogan is "Unleash Your Doggie Diva." And you can even add them on facebook!

This is def that kinda thing where some 40something, geezer looking, old-school, company exec tried to push what she thought was cool on the rest of us. Who approved this?! Who even thought of this!? Who is actually gonna buy this!? Damn shame.



Now THAT'S a HOT MESS.

Queer Cheers for Keith!

Damn son. Keith Olbermann is the man. He breaks down the facts like no other political analyst ever.

Tonight on Countdown, Mr. Olbermann discussed the passing of Proposition 8 in California. He brings up so many excellent points about the absolute hypocrisy that fuels not letting same-sex couples get married. He's the man. I have no idea how anyone could actually argue against him.

I mean, let's be honest, why do people even care? If someone wants to love someone else, I'm all for it! Love is love, people, and Lord knows that this world could use more of it. There are too many pressing issues that actually need our attention and gay marriage is not one of them. Gay marriage is not even an issue.

Ugh. This topic makes me really heated.

Observe:



Get it Keith.
