Vegas with KROQ

-Took a stalker pic of Stryker and then met him. He has really soft hands and fun, down to earth personality. Probably my first favorite radio DJ =)

-McCarren airport in Vegas has this subway to and from the gates, its awesome! I think more people in LA would use the subway system if it was like that.

-JetBlue is a really nice airlines! Everyone (even the TSA) folks were friendly and talked to you like people, not like just baggage. The free unlimited snacks and directTV was a nice addition as well. But i would suggest that they give the option of "captioning" during flights for those of us who either 1) are deaf so buying the $2 headphones would be pointless or 2) don't want to wear headphones but still want to enjoy the free tv mhm

-Thursday night when we finally got to the hotel, we changed clothes, and headed to the new Cosmopolitan hotel or Cosmo for short. Yeah, the taxi dropped us off on the opposite in if the new City Center so that walk was not fun but we made it. And then we got completely lost in the Cosmo because it's lack of proper signage in ALL DIRECTIONS! The decor is insane...giant statues of dogs and giant shoes you can take pictures in, random sparkly or victorian chandeliers and don't even get me started on the long ass corridors!!!! It took us probably almost a mile to get to the damn buffet that there were no real signs for. Even the concierge dude confused us =P But we made it to the Wicked Spoon. The food was really good and high end. The desserts were fantastic too! The dinner is $35 but worth it if you pace yourself =)

-Later Thursday night we caught up with the lovely and badass Dez who informed us we could not sleep/nap in Vegas lol So we met up for drinks at Aurora after having interesting conversation about jerks, booze and good times hehe Chilled at a lounge and had a lot of fun people watching. Guys are hilarious in Vegas, that's all i'm going to say about that! Oh yeah, we saw some hookers, wannabe pimps and even a transgender. Which reminds me, gotta hit up a gay bar next trip. We had some marvelous Blueberry Martinis there too. I would have done a Jeggermeister with Dez but i didn't want to spend anymore money haha We finally went to bed about 4am.

-We dragged ourselves out of bed and down to Nathans Friday afternoon. Then we stopped by T&T for happy hour and had a really good Sangria! After that we changed into our pool hotness and headed to the KROQ pool party. It was hot hot hot! Thank goodness for cloud cover though! We only had to be in the actual sun for about 20mins out of 3 hours. The humidity was crazy! Sunscreen melted after only 10mins so that was fun. There was a slight breeze here and there. The drinks were awesome too! The best part about the pool? The free entertainment! Stryker and DJ Jeremiah Red spun good musid and gave away some free random prizes. Then we had the"White Boy Soul Train" show! Several white boys were drunk and dancing their happy little asses off. They were rocking it so hard they had to put their drinks down to enjoy the beats lol One guy did a head stand, he was the best! We loved it! Some old guys scared us with their old man bodies in speedos *eeeewwwwwww*. A few cute guys were around but nothing really drool worthy. A few guys tried to get our attention and we just shuttered at the thought *bleh* Because of the cloud cover we stayed for Stryker's whole show and a bit afterwards. The pool was nice. I didn't get all the way in but Serena and Dez enjoyed themselves immensley. Finally we packed up when they announced the pool was closing in 30mins. Plus the thunder we heard in the distance meant some rain was coming soon.

-Serena and i were hungry so we jetted over to Mandalay and enjoyed a great Irish Pub restaurant RiRa! The atmosphere was amazing! The food was drippingly (literally) delicious! Serena and i are big foodies so this was a real treat for us! If you are in town, check it out, you won't be disappointed!

-We agreed to meet up at Cathouse in a few hours after showering and napping. Serena and i made it but Dez did not because she wasn't feeling well *aaawwww*. Cathouse is a boring club. The layout is weird and it's dark as fuck in there! They use top shelf alcohol which is fine for good drinks but for well drinks, not so much. I didn't expect to be paying $11 for a simple vodka/cranberry. It was extremely hard to see if anyone was attractive in this place. The constant flashing lights were annoying and the music was insanely loud for the small space. White girls dancing ontop of a center divider table was pretty funny for 5mins. None of them fell though *boooo* We saw Adrian from KROQ but not Stryker and really don't blame him for not being there...if he wasn't there...couldn't really see to be 100% sure lol There were only 3 hostesses in burlesque attire and that was disappointing. There were more security guards and waiters who dressed really nice and were pretty attractive...more so than the patrons. The place was mostly table service which was annoying as well. So after a few drinks, darkness and constantly annoying music we headed out. That was the first time we had been bored at a club, so sad.

-After Cathouse we headed to EyeCandy in Mandalay. Not one of our favorite places but since Rum Jungle got shut down *noooooooooooo* we figured might as well give it a shot since it was so close. At the entrance the doorman begged us to be "locals" and we couldn't figure out why. He then told us it was for "personal reasons" which led us to sort of want to know more but not really lol I felt bad for disappointing him, he was a nice guy. We did explain to him that our "local girl" was home sick so we couldn't help him out. We did a shot of Patron and attempted to dance on the small dance floor. It was full of 40+ crowd. They were bumping and grinding all night long! Serena and i were definitely not drunk enough for this experience...we really wished we were though. These white people knew all the newest him KIIS FM type songs being played. They shook their asses like they didn't have children, jobs or significant other's at home lol We even saw a few grandparents...yes, grandma and grandpa were shaking it too. We knew it was an older crowd once we realized the music was oddly low. I guess they didn't want the older crowd to leave due to hearing loss. It was annoyingly low. Which was weird since CatHouse was annoyingly loud. EyeCandy had a bigger space to let the music be louder but yeah.

-The one major incident of the night happened at EyeCandy. There was a Wolf Pack aka group of guys humping and drinking lots of girls all over the club. One of the guys kept booty bumping us by accident. He turned around and started to apologize about his big booty...his words not mine lol He was pretty cute though, so i chatted with him a bit about his big booty and he even turned around once to shake it and show it off to us. He said it was a "problem" and just couldn't help but laugh at him. It wasn't big at all. It was your typical white boy ass. His joking, bald head and pretty eyes had me distracted long enough from the rest of the Wolf Pack to even notice the 6ft1 black guy coming to swoop in and attack me! One minute i'm ready to get serious flirt on with big booty white boy and next thing i know this dude is dropping it like it's hot in front of me with his face nuzzled into my chest. His hands were running up and down my hips and on my ass. I was being violated and could barely believe it was actually happening! I thought he was just going to do that and be done but nope, i was wrong. He then grabbed my legs and hoisted me into the air, legs wrapped around his hips and humped me in the air!! He was thrusting really hard, i kept thinking "ok i know it's there! put me down!". I saw Serena behind him and she didn't know if i was enjoying it or needing her to punch him in the liver and i was too in shock to give her a proper hand signal so i just grabbed held on for dear life! I was yelling in his ear though "I'm good! ok i'm good!" but he just laughed and gave me a dirty smile and then lifted me above his head so he could put his face in my boobs once more! He slid me down, humped me one last time and then i was back on the ground. He walked away cheering to his guys and i was left distraught, violated and in complete shock. Serena made sure i was alright and all i could do was think "what would Tina Feya and Maya Rudolph do?" I don't know why i thought of them but i did and i thought, they would dance it out, so i told Serena "ok i need to just dance this off Serena, cause if i leave now i won't feel right." She agreed and we tried to dance it off. I truly believe we were both so in shock we just didn't know how to respond. I know if Michelle and/or Sonia were with us, that probably wouldn't have happened but i know the Wolf Pack would have been all over us still. They were making their rounds and attacking lots of girls...i was not the only victim lol The guy that violated me even did it to a much bigger girl and even though he couldn't get her as high off the ground as he did me, he got her off of it. I wanted to get back to talking to big booty white boy but he was enthralled by some blondie so yeah lol We danced a bit longer but go bored and decided to call it a night with EyeCandy.

-On the way back to threw our hotel, we dropped in on LAX, a supposidly hot night club. Yeah it was a big boring as well. The doormen were assholes taking 5 to 8 minutes to go over our IDs...i wish i was kidding about this! We were the only ones in line too. Finally got in, climbed up and down stairs and saw the long stretched out room and dance floor. Its another narrow layout as well. Lots of table service too. Nothing special, didn't see what all the hype was for. We didn't even buy drinks.

-The night was very random and kind of a let down outside of RiRa. We didn't finish our food there so it was waiting happily at our room for us! It was even good ice cold! We discussed how lame our night was. I was very upset about Rum Jungle being shut down. I even missed the crowded Pure. Next trip definitely NOT going to do those 3 clubs again! We crashed again about 4am.

-Saturday we packed up our things and headed to lunch before hitting the airport. Good food was had once again. If we know nothing about Vegas, we know where to eat =) Didn't get to see Dez before we left but got to talk to her and made plans to hang again as soon as possible!

All in all it was a really fun trip! Not just the fact that it was free, but the fact that we got to hit up Vegas in summer which is something we rarely ever do! I don't think i will be doing it again in the future though, its just too damn hot lol I LOVED seeing and hanging with Dez! She is such a fire cracker and doesn't hold her tongue for anyone which is exactly what i love about her! I can't wait to get back out there in December with ALL my girls and party it up for my 30th! Thanx again to KROQ and Stryker for making it a fun lil escape that i truly believe i earned! Someone up there likes me! And yes, i did gamble and won some money. I can honestly say (even though i hate the term) i was winning from beginning to end =)

Thanx to my girl Serena for coming with me! It was the least i could do for my bestest friend!!!

A Maternal Second

My good friend Maximus just had a really adorable baby whom i call Mini Maximus. This kid is already melting my heart as i see more and more pictures of him with his daddy. Also because his hardcore of a man dad is being reduced to mush by such a tiny lil human hehe I am proud and happy for Max and can't wait to see the daddy adventures!

As i looked at the newest picture of Mini Maximus, i had what i would call a weak moment but you mother's would call it a "maternal" moment. For a few seconds i thought "i want my baby to look that cute". Yeah! I KNOW! Razz had a maternal moment which is just crazy! If you know me, you are probably picking your jaw off the ground lol I don't have these feelings and i've said it over and over again "i don't have a maternal clock and i'm happy about that." or "i'm not birthing no babies!" Either way, i've been anti children all of my life...even as a child i didn't like badass kids and had to tell them or my mother "those are bad kids", which made her laugh all the time.

But yes, i admit for a second i was weak and thought about having a baby that cute and with a man that awesome. I have always enjoyed strong, hardworking men. Men who are soft and romantic on the inside but not everyone gets to see it. It takes something pretty serious to make a strong man become mush and soft. So the thought of my "future baby daddy" who will be like that (strong, hardworking bla bla bla) becoming softy and a dad and loving our child made me FOR A SECOND want that.

Then reality kicked back in. This adorable Mini Maximus is adorable at that very second...in the picture...with his father...on the monitor...with no sound...far far away. Yeah, that kid is precious in that moment. Not so much when crying, pooping, whinning, walking, talking, schooling, maturing, hormoning, humping, dating, smack talking, peeing everywhere, eating, high schooling, graduating, lazying, mooching, moving out and then back in and then back out, mooching some more, falling in love with hoes, heartbreaking and heartbroken, doing stupid stuff with friends, then maybe settling down...maybe. Yeah...i rather stare at the picture and then go back to my life without babies =)

Now, don't get me wrong, i know Mini Maximus is going to be an awesome kid. He cannot not be! His dad is awesome! And his dad won't take no shit, so i'm not concerned about him at all lol I still don't want one though. Nope, the moment's passed. And even if that adorableness somehow got attached to me and i to him and wanted to be around it more, i still don't want to birth any babies! I would love to keep the kid while he is quiet and sleeping adorably and then down the road as a teenager to tell him the ways of women and why hoes are hoes...but still don't want to birth any! NOPE!

Slips Out

Maybe i should become friends with your girlfriend so i can keep better tabs on you. No, who becomes friends with their enemies? Ok, i could but that takes more work and effort and i don't care enough to put that kind of effort into this. I rather not know her because then when i take what i want (i.e you) i won't have any guilt about it. And sense you don't feel that serious about her, it will be even easier.

Sometimes, the crazy slips out of me >=)

That Guy...

Father's Day is bittersweet for me. While i do love and cherish the guys that i know who are amazing dads and doing the right thing (my brother Quincey, my cousin Reggie, my friend Maximus, etc.) i can't actually say when i think of my own father i don't feel the need to tell him Happy Father's Day, let alone speak to him. I haven't bought him a card probably since i was 5 years old.

When i think of "father figures" i have always thought about my cousin Stephon. He was always there for me like a father/brother no matter how far apart physically we were. After him of course my grandfathers and a few other cousins who i am close too. These men, did for me what my own father should have done. They showed me what a REAL MAN is. They answered all of my questions i ever had (and i had thousands of them) about life and needed a man's perspective. These men helped me NOT have a jaded outlook on guys because of my lack of a father in my life. They helped me see that not all men are lame and fail when it comes to raising children. Not all men are spineless. Not all men pretend to be grown ass men, no they actually do it.

The other side is the women in my life (mom, grandmothers, aunts, godmother, etc.) have all been FIERCE STRONG WOMEN! They never let me feel like i was less awesome just because my father was not around. If anything they lifted me up HIGHER to make sure that i never felt anything but loved, cherished and amazing especially when my heart took big hits from my father.

That's the sweetness of this day! Knowing that i may have "lost" a father but in this loss i gained several amazing male figures and female figures in my life, that i really NEVER feel the loss. That's such a blessing that it makes me tear up! Because inspite of that dark spot in my life, the brightness i have blasts it away =) I don't get emotional over many things but this is one thing i do get emotional about because i know without these outstanding people in my life i wouldn't be where i am now. I would be another female statistic doing all kinds of wrong and having daddy issues up the wazoo! I'm super thankful!

Some people (guys) think i am too hard on them when it comes to being a father. Now you know why i am this way. Because i know exactly how it feels and i will be damned if i am going to let you get off easy after you have created a life. The same goes for women too who don't want to step up and do the right thing but that's another story for another time lol

To all the single mom's out there doing the mommy/daddy thing, you guys are my hero's! And i really hope you know that you are doing an amazingly difficult job but you do it so very well! Stand tall and be proud on this day too! You all deserve it and i love you dearly!

Funny How Life Works

It never ceases to amaze me how long i have been friends with people whom i have never met face to face. Some times i forget how they came into my life but i never forget how blessed i feel to have them in my life.

My internet life started back in 1995 and exploded in the following 3 years due to a number of factors but mostly because i got my own laptop and trolled the AOL chat rooms constantly! Yeah i was THAT NERD GIRL lol There are only a handful of people i still talk too from those first few years of internet life but the ones that are still around are and have always been amazing!

I mean let's be honest, most of our friends from when we are teenagers, fall off for some reason or another. Some times they do us wrong and other times life just takes us in opposite directions and we don't do anything to stay connected. On rare occasions though if both people are genuine and truly work to keep the friendship going, no matter what happens, you can have a very long and fulfilling bond that no matter how long it's been since you last talked or seen each other, you can pick up almost right where you left off. You learn to enjoy the little moments you have with these people. You value the history you have and continue to nourish it as you can.

Several people come to mind while i write this post. People who have touched my life in their own unique ways. And even though for all these years we still haven't met face to face, we still have a solid friendship that works. I hope you know who you are and i hope you know you are always on my mind and i miss you all the time =)

Don't take people for granted and cherish the close circle of friends you do have. The ones who accept us, flaws and all are always the best ones to keep around.

Let's Try To Stop...

1. Asking men what we rate on a scale of 1 to 10: You are a 10 no matter who you are, what you look like and all those other factors. If you yourself do not feel you are a 10 YOU are the only one who can raise that number. Don't do it for some guy who probably won't value you in the first place. Do it for YOURSELF! Do it because looking in the mirror and mildly turning yourself on is hot! Do it because confidence is much more sexier than pity. Do it because hanging out with confident people is much more fun!

2. Settling for the next thing that walks by: Men and Women settle. It's sadly apart of who we are when we are at our lowest. This desperate act isn't good for anyone. So don't settle. Even if it means not getting laid for longer than 6 months (i know its painful but it can be so very worth the wait!). Besides, when you settle, you get bored and have to break up and who wants to go through all that rubbish =P

3. Being a coward: I mean speak up for yourself and get what you want. See someone you want to talk to, do it. Ladies, buy a guy a drink or better yet, a burger! Guys, even if you think she is out of your league go for it! You have to try in order to know what will happen next. If you don't try, you will never know and yes, as cliche as it is, you will always ask "what if". So try shake off the "what if's" at least once a week and see what happens. And don't go wasting money on clothes and expensive things to try and make yourself FEEL BETTER about approaching someone, again you are awesome the way you are, so go show it off!

4. Believing the hype: Not all women are size freaks when it comes to men's packages. Not all men are size freaks when it comes to women's body type. So stop believing what the small percentage of society wants you to believe. Don't discount someone based on what your friends might think (unless they are against the person because it doesn't make YOU a better person). Let's dispel a few rumors...

-The size of a man's hands says nothing about his package! It will however tell you if he is metro, blue collard or white collard kind of guy.

-Not all black women are angry and ghetto, no matter what the movies and music videos show you. And not all of us want to be video hoes...or hoes at all.

-Not all women love accents. Even though it is hot, it doesn't mean we will drop panties for any guy with an accent...at least most of us have a little more class about us lol

-Women do judge a man on how he is dressed. It might be one of the last top 5 things we think about but it's there, so pull up your pants!

-Men LIKE to look at girls in tight, skin showing, ass and boobies out dressed women but they rarely date them for any real length of time, let alone marry them. So yes, the saying is true, "you can't turn a hoe into a housewife". Especially if you want her to stay faithful =P

-Nerds are definitely hot and sexy but not for the reasons most think. We like nerds and geeks because they generally aren't assholes. They think for themselves, get shit done and love their moms. Also, they are very laid back and have great sense of humor about life and themselves. So don't overlook that female or male nerd next time...we can be some of the best people you know ;)

-Lastly, not all women want a man with deep pockets or big bank accounts. Lots of money is nice thing to have but it doesn't make for a quality relationship and at the end of the day that's all most women want. Don't get it twisted though, you NEED TO HAVE A JOB! It just doesn't have to be Bill Gates status.

There is so much other things we as sane people need to stop doing to each other. Women have just as many hang ups as men, so we all put ourselves through the ringer. The thing we have to remember is, no matter what anyone says, you are awesome and deserve everything awesome life has to offer you. Go easy on yourself already!

WATCH, SHARE & CHECK YOURSELF OUT!

Amazing video we all should watch and share with everyone we know! I normally don't get emotional but this one gave me a few "deep breath" moments, which means its the real deal! I wish they showed this kind of stuff to us in Health class when i was 16!
