Wtf Venenzuela???

Seriously, what the hell is going on with Venezuela??? It's reports like this that really makes me worried for the entire situation going on in Honduras. The fact the former President Zelaya is so close to Hugo Chavez makes me think that this is the type of activities he wants to bring to the country of my family. I really hope the people of Venezuela can get it together to fight this type of injustices.

Venezuela's top prosecutor insisted Thursday that freedom of expression in Venezuela "must be limited" and proposed legislation that would slap additional restrictions on the country's news media. The new law would punish the owners of radio stations, television channels and newspapers that have attempted to "cause panic" and "disturb social peace," Attorney General Luisa Ortega said. It also would punish media owners who "manipulate the news with the purpose of transmitting a false perception of the facts."

"Freedom of expression must be limited," Ortega said.

Ortega urged lawmakers to consider her suggestions as they debate a bill that would punish as-yet-undefined "media crimes." The National Assembly, which is controlled by allies of President Hugo Chavez, is expected to approve the measure in coming months.

That is some scary shit. Really makes me thankful to be living in this country, seriously.

Away We Go

A couple weeks ago, I took a Sunday afternoon off to go see "Away We Go" and I completely forgot to write my review!!! Soooo sorry guys!! but let me just make it quick, Go See This Movie.

This quirky indie film about a couple in search of a home for their unborn baby is one of the sweetest comedies of the summer. The chemistry between John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph is obvious and the cast of supporting characters is really great. Every aspect of this story and every character brings a refreshing yet real look at what this situation could be. I think that Sam Mendes did an excellent job and would highly recommend you guys check this flick out.

Two Thumbs up people! Don't sleep on it.

p.s. The picture is of my favorite on going skit through out the movie. Very funny John Krasinki moment.

Do You See What I See

Seriously, I would really like to hear the audio on this ... $5 bucks they had a game of flip cup after the camera's went away. lol.

What to Do .....

Every Friday when I come to work the first thing that appears to pop in my head is how quickly this summer is passing us by and how I still can't seem to do all the activities that I have planned for myself. When I sit and think of what exactly I have done, I can't seem to come to anything which I feel is terribly productive. For example, last weekend I spent my time in my neighborhood taking in the local festival that had a lot to offer, from fresh Zepolles to live music to even beer gardens. It was pretty entertaining. I also took the opportunity to lay out on my roof for the first time and take in the sun an since my roommate was out of town- it was a very solo driven weekend.

I didn't realize until Sunday night how much I needed this time. I had time to think of the person I am and who I used to be. I needed time to reevaluate who I am and where I am going. See, I am starting to get that itch- the same itch I had 5 years ago when I moved to NY. Change is coming soon- I feel it and I must be ready for it. I need to get some priorities down and really seriously consider where I am going with my life. I am not getting any younger and I still have things I want to accomplish and well- I haven't exactly lived up to some of the deadlines I had originally given myself.

Read More after the jump ....

So with that- I start this new attitude today. Today, July 27th 2009- I begin to try and execute some goals that I will share with you. 5 in particular which range from serious to fun.

-- Get Promoted:
I need to stop getting the run around and actually get the promotion that is deserved to me. And if my current company can not provide that, then it's time to stop being a wuss and get that resume out there.

-- Lose 10 pounds:
Although I have really turned myself around and lost the extra weight i had been carrying- I am still 10 pounds over the BM index suggests for my height and body. It has to be said that I am also only 10 pounds over what I weighed all through out high school and my early 20's-- so it is time to get my body back and keep it at the weight it is truly meant to be. I know my life doesn't start10 pounds from now but I really shouldn't be so hesitant to at least try- since the goal isn't so far out of reach anymore.

-- Publish my short stories:
I have been toying with the idea of publishing my short stories on this blog for a while. It's a little scary, especially since no one has really ever read them before and they only come to me in spurts, but I am going to start to write them for you guys and will post at least one a month for your enjoyment. EEkkk- this is a big one and kinda scary!!

-- Read Read Read!!!
I love to read and I kinda gave up on books in the spring but I am getting back in the groove and want to read at least 6 more books before Fall ends. I am up for suggestions !!!

-- Get my personal life in order:
I have been running away from dealing with romance now for a couple of years (Yes, Solis- I can finally admit this) and yes everyone- I said years, don't judge me! And although the idea of being independent and free from someone is very lovely-- I know that allowing myself to not worry about Love wasn't going to last for too long and I am finally ready to put myself out there again. I do have to give myself a little credit though, I haven't exactly been my usual love hermit crab lately-- I have been the social butterfly, I just need to take it to another level.

So, that is it. I put it all out there and hope to achieve every item on the list. Look for my updates and we shall see how many things I can really knock off.

Aziz-Randy-Funny People (NSFW)

MsCherrie and I are big fans of following celebs on twitter. John Mayer, Sologane, Kid Sister we could go on and on. That is how we discovered Aziz. The comic that won us over by not only being funny on stage and on tv and through social networking sites. If you follow many celebs, you know very few are actually interesting and least of all funny.

Aziz is that rare case. D list celeb with huge fan base and funny ass hell. This weekend he will take his stage act "Randy" to the big screen in the new Adam Sandler flick, Funny People.





I will for sure be taking my $7 to a local sat matinee! i have been trying to get a piece of this movie in one way or another for months now. I was invited to a test screening, which was over booked and I didn't get into. And MsCherrie like the doll she is, sent me the link to get into the taping of Aziz's stand up show to promote the film, which was overbooked as well and again..yes i didn't get in!!

All that has not left me bitter or turned off to seeing Funny People or enjoying Aziz act like a fool, so you know both must be pretty funny!

Just a Brief Announcement ....

Once again, my apologies!! But we will soon be back to regularly scheduled programming ...

Es La Virgen Guey?

In Bryan, Texas The Virgin Mary took time out of her busy schedule to make an appearance in the form of bird poop. The dropping was discovered on the Pachuca family's Side mirror of their pick up truck. Since then the family has gone out of their way to contact friends, and family to view the image first hand.

I don't know, it sounds like people are definitely fishing for attention or fishing for a miracle anywhere they can get it...I'll stick to thinking that they are looking for attention. I'll let you decide what you think it is.

Friendly Fires - Kiss Of Life (best dancing in a video by a awkward white boy)

I love this video. Lead singer of Friendly Fire Ed should be cool; he is in a indie rock/electric fusion band from the UK! Atleast if he knew he couldn't dance (which wouldn't surprise me) you would think the would be so cool he wouldn't dance...ever. No. Ed will dance. And not just alil but dance his lil whitebread ass off from start to finish in this video! Video this most reminds me of after the jump...

Stylestalker at Pixie Market

These studded mess cut out tights by stylestalker have gotten me excited for the fall and tights again!! Three falls strong now, tights are still a stable, but it is always nice to have options. You can get these tights and more from the line, Stylestalker at Pixie Market now!

Dexter

With the Huge turn out for Dexter at Comic con I thought I'd let you guy in on some info if you haven't been following up. Dexter Season 4 is about to begin. Fro those that don't know what Dexter is set in Miami and is about Dexter Morgan (Michael C. HAll) who is a serial Killer and blood splatter specialist for the Miami P.D. He doesn't kill just anyone he has a strict moral code that was taught to him by his father.

The premier for Season 4 will be on September 7, 2009 and they are currently filming. The show has had 3 critically acclaimed seasons and from what I've been hearing they are having John Lithgow jump aboard to be a villain on the show by the name of Walter Simmons. This should be a good season indeed. If you haven't seen the show then I suggest scooping up a copy of Prior seasons or if you have showtime then they will run encore episodes for you to enjoy.

Here's a sneak peek at the new season.

Dental Break

Why Diddy?

So this came off the E! site and it also made me think the same thing. How does Diddy keep getting shows?

I think it's because Diddy started as a Hype man and what better way to get anywhere in any town other than to Hype yourself up. Perfect example: Donald Trump, even if something bombs the next thing he tries "It's the greatest thing in the WORLD" As long as Diddy keeps being a diva people are going to eat it up. Can't knock it because he's doing the dang thang. doesn't mean I'll watch it, just that I can't really knock it.

E! Online – Why Do People Keep Giving Diddy TV Shows?(E! Online)

Leslie Gornstein Leslie Gornstein Los Angeles (E! Online) –

Diddy just got another show? Why does he still have a job, much less a show? Can I have a show?

—K.K.

Yep. Another show. This one about the making of his new backup band. Sean "Diddy" Combs, that zombie of the hip-hop lifestyle, continues to shamble along despite a noticeable lack of presence on the music charts. Oh wait. Totally forgot. He just cut that totally not-opportunistic single about Michael Jackson. Forget I said anything.

So why would Diddy still have a TV career? You'll be shocked...

Yes, he has a fashion empire and an extremely fashionable TV commercial wherein he sits in a blinding white tuxedo, celebrating something, perhaps the invention of bleach. But other than that, he's a joke, right?

Wrong.

In fact, on the popularity scale, compared with other celebs, he's huge. The overall Internet buzz on Diddy is larger than many other lifestyle emperors, including J.Lo and Martha Stewart. His buzz is also larger than some other reality-show stars like T.O. His buzz isn't bigger than Oprah's, but nobody's is bigger than Oprah's. I get all this info from Zeta Interactive, a digital marketing agency that uses algorithms to measure online buzz.

Most of Diddy's fan buzz—60 percent of it—is positive, which leaves plenty of room for an infamy factor. Reality-show producers love infamy. And lastly, Diddy just keeps putting himself out there, making him fine fodder for reality TV. Consider his recent antics, including that Michael Jackson tribute song and his incredibly obnoxious annual white party. News keeps tracking him too, thanks to nonscandals like Twittergate.

Oh, and per Forbes, Diddy's also one of hip-hop's top five earners. He made $30 million last year. If Donald Trump can have a reality show, I guess Diddy can too. Let's just hope I don't have to wear white to watch it.

What an Entrance

If you haven't seen this already- take a minute to watch it. I promise it will bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!

The Noisettes - When You Were Young (Cover)

The Noisettes are not new to the music scene, however they continue to gain new fans whenever they bust onto the scene with every new turn and chance they take musically. Lead vocalist Shingai has gotten recognition for her over the top style and flare. The band maybe come off cool and polished in the clip, because they can do that too, but on stage they kick scream pull hair and rock out. From me to you, here is a lil Friday music magic!

Superhead Strikes Again!

Reporters hate Superhead Karrine Steffans and Karrine Super hates them back. So much so that most of her interviews post "Chronicles of a Super Vixen" have ended in heated words, abrupt commercial breaks, or cussin. This clip is no different, just another one to and to the pile. I don't need to say much, this clip is amazing on it's own. Enjoy!

Comic-con

I had a few things to post but I'm getting geared up for Comic con, for those that don't know what Comic con is, well it's THE biggest comic book/movie convention of all year. It's STAR studded event where fans get to meet and greet their favorite TV/movie and comic book stars also they are able to buy special edition collectors item along with the ability to buy products before they go out to the masses. There are discussion panels for movies and video games, some oft he folks scheduled to be there are The cast and crew of Boondocks saints 2, twilight, It's always sunny In Philadelphia, Tim Burton will talk about Alic in Wonderland and many many more. So if you're in the hood get going if not look into it and prep for next year because this thing is MASSIVE and sold out.

Peace

He'll Cut A Bitch ....

OOhhh Arnie. What were you thinking??? This shit can't even be scripted. Hahahahahaha!

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger holds a knife in this video frame grab from a video he posted on his Twitter page July 21, 2009. Schwarzenegger, in a 27 second video, thanked citizens for ideas on how to cut the state's budget.

HahHAHAHahahahaha !!! The best part is that his press secretary was reached to try and explain the knife holding and she didn't even know what the deal was. she sinply stated "I don't know why he is holding a knife. The message is in what he is saying, not what he is holding in his hand." Hahahahahaha !!!

Pause for a Moment of Silence ...

It appears every one's favorite Chihuahua has passed away.

She charmed millions without ever saying a word, and managed to make fast food tacos adorable. Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign, died from a stroke on Tuesday night at age 15.

Everyone should mourn her death today by ordering two gorditas and some nachos. Peace the spork out Gidget!

Crazy Love - Why (Hopefully) This Won't Be You

Enjoying my instant Netflix documentary selection, I came across what looked like a interesting tale of love gone bad. The plot : man falls for lady, man is a ass, lady leaves, man goes nuts and hires men to throw acid in her face. Most of the documentary explores the relationship between Burt Pugach and Linda Riss before the legendary New York trail and after. Showing how he managed to be the most glamorous woman in NY rocking designer frames day or night, even becoming a sought after painter. He goes to jail, where he continues his trade as crooked lawyer and over all asshole. when he finally gets out of jail and Linda runs out of mine, i'm sure to your deepest regret you can guess what happens...yes they get married.



Don't spaz because i gave the ending away, there is still plenty of drama to make the film enjoyable. I tell this point because it totally caught me off guard, as i hope it does you! This woman was gorgeous! 50s glamor and pin up girl physique, but for some reason she ended up in her 30s blind and lonely and desprate enough to retreat back to the only man she could think of that loved her.

Throughout the film there are lil comments from friends and relatives that open your eyes to how much we have changed as woman. The sad sad tale of Linda throwing an amazing girls night in with her friends (post acid) when they are interrupted by an elderly woman that walks by them pushing a cart of food...alone... with no husband and they all pitty Linda. I'm not saying i don't get alil freaked when i see they old woman buy nothing but cat food at the store, but i would not think to marry an abusive ex to avoid it.

i can't help but look at this doc and see the blaring issue, the ideals our grandmothers were forced to live with. To think that this woman, had come into her own and been so brave and so strong after something so horrific had happened to her, could find herself lonely and looking back at her EXs as an option is insane! I mean we all get alil lonely, but i hope that pressure to find someone to take care of you to make miserable or to validate you as a woman is fewer and further between.

I am totally blaming this in the 50s and refrigerator ads, but as i read it, i can see how this speech is relevant yesterday today and tomorrow. Women, let's get it together!

To Little to Late

And that is all I am going to say about this Idiot ....

Beckham's Warm Welcome Home

Who watches the Galaxy???? Well apparently there is a large group of you out there which take your soccer very seriously !! And I would not even think about messing with you!! Check it out:

Midfielder David Beckham has told CNN "you can't be liked by everybody" after being involved in a confrontation with unhappy supporters in his first home fixture for the Los Angeles Galaxy since returning from his spell on loan with AC Milan. The former England captain attempted to jump over a barrier as he left the field at half-time into a section of the crowd that had been jeering him. Beckham was held back by security staff, members of whom were also needed to restrain an angry fan who left his seat and rushed towards the midfielder.

"At the end of the day you can't be liked by everybody," said Beckham. "There was going to be a certain amount of that, everybody knew about it and a lot of people predicted it -- and they weren't let down.

"These things happen, but the majority of the fans were incredible tonight not just to me but the team as well." Beckham received a less than friendly welcome at his first home game after returning from five months with AC Milan -- the team the Galaxy faced on Sunday. A hardcore section of the crowd booed Beckham every time he touched the ball and held aloft signs reading "Go Home Fraud" and "23: Repent" in reference to his shirt number. Another read: "Hey Becks, Here Before You, Here after You, Here Despite You" while one stated: "Is evil something u are - or something u do?" Earlier this year, Beckham indicated he wanted to stay in Milan rather than return to America, stating that the standard of play was far higher in Italy.

Hahahahahha. Well I guess you can say he had it coming- I mean you can't really bite the arm that feeds you. He really shouldn't have talked all that shit- now the team might have to act professional but then fan's sure as hell don't. Oohhh I Love L.A. Check out the video below:

Futurama Bummer

Matt Groenings creator of the Simpson's) Spin off child Futurama has been making a comeback with new DVD releases and syndication on Comedy Central. Fox will be bringing back the series, but it looks like along with good news, there will be bad news. The futurama character voices will be re-cast because fox could not meet the original cast salary demands. No word yet as to whether or not a new cast has been chosen or who is being sought out for the new voices.

Original cast:
Billy West (Fry, Professor, and Ziodberg), Katey Sagal (Leela), John DiMaggio (Bender), Maurice LaMarche (Kif Kroker, among others), or Tress MacNeil (Mom, and several others)

The Fox network couldn't let this go without clarification. "We love the Futurama voice performers and absolutely wanted to use them, but unfortunately, we could not meet their salary demands. While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on. We are confident that we will find terrific new performers to give voice to Matt and David's brilliantly subversive characters."

check with for more details Entertainment Weekly

The Original cast will be at Comic-con 09 to discuss the DVD releases, hopefully they will discuss at the panel what the future may hold for the Futurama stars.

Summer Reading

Everyone needs a good summer read, even if reading isn't your thing, the summer- for some reason allows for us to relax and really do things which are not part of our normal activities- so reading is just one of those things that I love to do. I have been looking for something a little different this time around, not much for mushy Fabio covered romance novels, a friend suggested I read some James Patterson- as hi writing isn't the typical frou frou romance, but sorted tails with characters that have deep emotional vulnerabilities- that suck you in. So, excited for my read I went up to my rooftop on Friday afternoon with a glass of wine and started what I though was going to be a great read.

Boy was I wrong. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas was sappy, boring and overall just a disappointment. Without giving elements to the plot away, let me just say that the outcome was obvious, the characters felt flat/unrealistic and the overall plot was lame. I was so highly disappointed that I heavily debated not even finishing the book. I guess a lot of it is to blame with me though- I mean how much did I really think I was going to have in common with a 5'9" blond from North Carolina??? Anywho ... this book just didn't live up to the hype and if this is the type of crap Patterson puts out on a regular basis ... I might have to pass on the rest of his books.

Next on my list, "Time Travelers Wife" which many different friends have given excellent revues and with the movie coming out soon- this read will be just what I need to get my butt back to the theatre on a regular basis.

Random Headline of the Day

Coney Island: Good Ol' PG13 Fun

So, last week a friend and I decided to take our annual trip to one of my favorite fun in the sun spot's- Coney Island. I really like going here, the atmosphere, sun and beach overall remind me of my visits to Venice beach when I was a kid. So this just brings back happy memories, the only thing missing is the KFC chicken- but of course the hot dog's more than make up for the loss.

During our visit, we have a usual routine- Try and catch the same subway, find seat's near the most entertaining people and ensure that we are early enough to get the sun at it's peak of heat. We did all as planned and laid out in the sand for a good 2 1/2 hours to ensure there was some sort of color on our skin. I personally am a regular tone of brown through out the year but in the summer, my color always gets a nice shade of gold . So with SPF 30 in hand- I take turns laying out in the tiniest bikini possible in order to ensure no tan lines are had!

After this is in place- always have to literally lay and listen to the sounds around us. Aside from the peacefulness of the breeze and waives, we get a soundtrack of loud reggeatton, heavy Brooklyn accents and of course the Yiddish from the old ladies that lay out from 8 am till noon. This particular eclectic mix is the exact reason we love coming here. See, Coney Island- for all its stereotypical things- is in fact , real NY. The place breaths East coast summer from the People to the food- it's a definite must do activity.

After being pretty baked, we walk along the water then move to the boardwalk to take in the glorious wonder wheel, "shoot the freak" booth and get ourselves some Italian ice cream before moving on to Nathan's for Hot dogs and cheese fries. Through the day the only cause for complaint that I can really say we had was when the Thug 20 year old with his wanna be Lil Wayne chains stroked, not grabbed but stroked my friends arm and asked her to do some inappropriate activities. Classy.

With that said, it was time to leave. Upon our next visit though, I really hope to stick around long enough to get drink at the burlesque at the beach which I hear is great. That will have to be another post for another day.

He can get it ....

A little heat for this beautiful summer morning ....

Seriously ... flashback to 1999. Damn Ryan Phillipe!!! I don't know what went wrong between you and Reese but with a body like that ... I really would not have cared!!! All Day everyday- 3 times on Sunday!

Hmmm .... I'm not sure how I feel about Drew Barrymore's directorial debut. Seems a little predictable. Or maybe that's just because I read the Jezebel break down of the trailer and refuse to be impressed now. Regardless- you tell me what you think.

Although, it is pretty unlikely that the entire state of CA will approve to legalize Marijuana-- this is still a fairly interesting new way to take on the budget. Not like my CA people aren't mellow enough as it is- this will def put a completely different buzz on things.

A bill to tax and regulate marijuana in California like alcohol would generate nearly $1.4 billion in revenue for the cash-strapped state, according to an official analysis released Wednesday by tax officials.

The State Board of Equalization report estimates marijuana retail sales would bring $990 million from a $50-per-ounce fee and $392 million in sales taxes. The bill introduced by San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano in February would allow adults 21 and older to legally possess, grow and sell marijuana. Ammiano has promoted the bill as a way to help bridge the state's $26.3 billion budget shortfall.

Lol ... we shall see what happens.

MJ: Life after Death

Seems that all financial woes MJ had during his last couple of years might be resolved if sales like this week keep coming to his estate. All though he was not able to beat the comeback of Maxwell-- MJ moved 1.1 million records this past week. With all the non stop press coverage on his children, personal life and new video being released of his Pepsi commercial incident a couple years back. It looks as though there will be no end to the machine/

Above all, we have to look at this in the perspective that making that much movement is freakin impressive for someone who hasn't had new material in YEARS. This definitely also starts to put things in perspective for his Estate. That is a lot of records moving off shelves for an industry that isn't doing so well, wonder what else is to come .... Yanna Beau, my music insider- any input???
