"Dreams are Real, All You Have To Do Is Just Believe"-Ashanti "Dreams"

Well, I have took a step forward towards my dreams of becoming a singer by signing up for vocal lessons. They are $80 bucks a month, and I go to the class every Friday. It's a group thing, which I'm kinda wary about, but its the cheapest class i could find. Now I really don't have the time nor really the money to take these classes. But I feel like if I don't take this chance, I'm not taking my dreams seriously. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.



I mean this is what I've wanted my entire life. Being logical, I'm in school, and I plan on having a degree to back me up, but I really can't see myself doing anything else but singing! I have to decide by Weds. on what I'm going to do. What should I do?


My Inspirations (in no particular order):

Lady Day


Anita Baker


Teena Marie


Raphael Saddiq


Erykay Badu


J Dilla


Quincy Jones


Jill Scott


Monica Blaire, She's a local artist here from Detroit and she is dope! Look her up!

Young People Fucking

When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be on a totally different level, but this seems like it will be a very good movie, and I hope they play it here in the states. If not, I can go to Windsor in fifteen minutes, so either way I'm going to see it!!!!!

Older Men, Younger Women

Why do I need to be up this early!!!! Ugh!!!!! Well anyways, I went back to Northland yesterday from my internship out of sheer boredom and that my bestie works there. On the iron dragon I saw this,



I See White People


I have never seen so many white people Downtown. I felt a tad bombarded. I love me some white boys and all, but that was just too much for me, so I had to leave!

Back to what I planned on talking about, what's your opinion on Older Men, Younger Women. I've seen it as bad as an 18 year old girl and a 41 year old man (not me...uh...my friend). Out of the dateable years I have lived (3 total), I have had mostly men 5+ my age try and get on. I would like a younger man around my age, but they never seem to come my way. Is it me? Is it just that men have that "r. kelly syndrome" (yes, it is real) where younger is better?


My mind's tellin me no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, before I get outta here, I need y'all opinion one mo' 'gain. do yall think this is cute? Let me know!!!!!

"You Judgin' Me Dawg, Please You Shop at The Mall"-The Cool Kids

Yesterday, I went to Northland Mall, the ghettoest (is that a word?) mall in Detroit to pick up some custom Blazers from my favorite person this week Cappy. I saw all types of random people in there doing random things.

I was so bored waiting that I took a pic of my shoe.

I love my Stab's!!!!





Then some crazy old man was speed walking with ankle and wrist weights. I tried to get a pic but he was walking too fast.




There were your usual bad a$$ kids running around until their parents made them sit their lil behinds down.




I even saw a deacon walk by in a light green blazer and baby blue slacks.




When I was starting to believe that the coonery was going to overtake me, Cappy came in like the Matrix and saved me!


Ahhhhh!!!!!






Finished product:






Here's a better pic i stole off his website:




If yall wanna holla at him for anything custom, here's his site:

Allow Me To ReIntroduce Myself My Name Is.......

I noticed that I don't talk much about me on here. I'm not really sure if anyone actually reads this, but to those who do here's a breakdown of who I am!!!

Dis me! (Im Da One Wit Da Pout)




I'm a 20 year old student at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. Currently, Iwork as a Computer Tech for the school, plus interning for a local radio show/marketing company/a whole bunch of other stuff in one. I also intern for the HOTTEST sneaker shop in da D!!! Bob's Classic Kicks!!!!!!




I know, right?


I love sneakers! It has became a very expensive habit, and since I'm not getting paid that much from the school or at all from the internships, I haven't been able to get any in awhile. So, if y'all got the hookup on any Women's Stabs, Blazers or anything Grade School, holla at ya girl!!!!!



My favorite pair of shoe. If you ever meet me, I will probably have these on!






I plan on being something serious hopefully in the next 5 years. I would either want to be a sales genius, a marketing genius, a radio personality on some type of show (analog or satellite, or live out my dream and become a singer. Either way I will be a force to be reckoned with!!!



So hopefully I gave you guys a lil more insight into who I am, and why I'm so nutty! Y'all keep reading, and I'mma do my best to keep bringing yall interesting stuff to read about!

Peace!!!!

Throwback Song of the Day-Brandyw/ Wanye Morris-Brokenhearted

This song reminds me of my childhood and how much I didn't really understand what they were talking about but I thought it was dope!!!!!!!!!

My Song For The Day: Ghostface Killah-Biscuits

I don't know how this love of Ghostface has came about with me, but I do know that ain't no way of shaking it no time soon!!!!! So this is what will be playing in my head for the rest of the day!!! Enjoy!

Maxi Dresses

I guess the hot thing right now this summer is Maxi Dresses. I found this one on Pink Mascara for a pricey $220.




But here's a nice Black dress on BlueFly for $60.

Man I Miss My Dawgs!

I'm dedicating this post to people I am missing right now. Some may be in another state or have passed on, but nonetheless they are all missed.

First is my bestie Sam,



I met her in my first year of college, and we have been close ever since. Due to family issues, she left Detroit for Cali where she is from. Ever since, I know that I have supposed to make at least 3 trips there but funds are really tight and i can't really afford a $400 ticket, so if yall got the hookup for ya girl, hit me up!!!! So hopefully some time this year I'll get a chance to see her.

Also, RIP to my big cuz DuShawn. He passed away from a disease that I really don't remember the name of, but what I do know is that the medicine prescribed by the doctors caused him to have two heart attacks. I'm just happy to know that he is at peace and no longer in pain.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday to Tupac Shakur, a life taken from us thru a sensless act of violence. May your legend continue to live on

Planika Fireplaces: Smoke-free Biofuel Fire

I am a big fan of fireplaces, but they require too much maintenance for my lazy self to ever deal with. but Planika Fireshave developed a Smoke Free Fireplace that runs off of a biofule called Fanola. Producing no smoke or smell only H20 and C02 at unharmful levels Fanola is comprised of plant origin material, has been touted as hygienic, and is a renewable energy source. The sheer ambiance and appeal of the Planika design is astounding let alone the coup de gras of a greener fire for the family. It's very safe, and if you have the dollars to afford it, I suggest you get one for your home right away!

Rinaldi Pumps by Michael Antonio (Black)

Now I love my sneakers, but sometime a girl gotta jazz it up, and keep it grown and sexy!!! That's why I just bought these goregous Rinaldi Pumps by Michael Antonio. The big thing that I love is that it didn't take a big bite out of my pocket, which is always a plus in my book. They were $50 @ FlyJane.Net. If you get a chance, look around the site. They have awesome purses and accessories for the low!!!!!

Nike WMNS Air Stab Premium - ‘Solar’

One thing I have noticed being a female and having a love for sneakers is that I don't see that many chicks rocking Air Stabs. Yet, they happen to be one of my favorite sneakers to wear, next to the Blazer. So I was extremely excited when I saw these on Nitrolicious. Please don't sleep on these ladies, as they are slated for a July drop date. I'm not so sure I will be able to find them out here in Detroit, but please believe I will be on eBay!!

Nike Dunk Low WMNS - White - Black - Tourmaline

Ain't they a beaut! I haven't really seen any Ladies' Dunks that have caught my eye, but I noticed these on Sneaker News and instantly fell in love. I haven't seen them anywhere here in Detroit, but I know they are available at urban retailers nationwide and eBay!

Is Usher Losing It?

Pictures of Usher's performance in London this past weekend surfaced on the internet, and it looks like he has put on a couple of pounds since he has been out of the limelight. I hope he gets it together before Here I Stand drops May 27.

Just two weeks after Kanye announced his split with long-time fiance' Alexis, he got "MySpaced" by some young Beckys at a hotel party. Let's wait and see how Mr. West responds to this!
