Revoke their VISAs

She's got to go, folks! I have tolerated Rihanna enough. Not only is she soooo manufactured I liken her to a mannequin with an off-key, battery powered voice pack stuffed inside her back - she has no talent. I know entertainment has been reduced to catchy tunes over a dance groove and bankable eye-candy...but can someone ring the bell on her 15 minutes?
Rihanna can't sing, can't dance, is a certified Beyonce swagger jacker (HANDS OFF JIGGA - ho!) and now she wants me to believe she's a good girl, gone bad...FAKE FAKE FAKE.

Dear Ri Ri,
Take your very well orchestrated production team and bounce back down to the island.
VISA Satus: REVOKED!

Now - this hot mess... Here he is pictured in Los Angeles for the 50th Grammy Awards. How hot is he in this jacket?

Is that fur AND wool?

Dear Akon,

Not only is your voice annoying, your romp in Trinidad with the preachers daughter on stage was un-sexy. I can't wait to not DVR your upcoming reality show. And WTF is w/ this "Konvict" crap? You're not even a citizen and you want to brag about American jail. Thanks for T-Pain but, "No, Thank YOU!" Please fall back.

VISA Status: REVOKED!

And Finally - Ames, Ames, Ames (smh)

There's not much to say here 'cause the courts

TOOK her VISA. Cheers!, British Court system.

The most-nominated Artist of this year's

Grammy Awards needs a time out.

Her album was smoking, but so was she...

VISA Status: REVOKED!

Tuesday is Super

I'm in recovery from the rubberbands my orthodontist is currently torturing me with - and I'm also watching FNN and CNN to get the results of the Super Tuesday Primary Elections. It's 10:30 p.m. and this is how they are calling it so far for the Democratic Primary:

Clinton:
NJ, NY, OK, AR, MA, TN and MO

Obama:
AL, CT, DE, IL, GA, KS, ND and MN

California still isn't in and if you know anything about delegate votes and how they are alloted...you know that it's going to be a doozy, bottom line - stay tuned

Next week the "beltway primary" will be held- MD, DC and VA get ready! I've already sent in my absentee ballot which was really easy to do. (TAKE NOTES) You still have time if you want, so here's how to do it. Google your county's or state's board of elections, fill out the downloadable pdf and mail it in. They will send you back an absentee ballot - fill it out with a #2 pencil and send it back. Bim, Bam, you've voted. Easy Shmeasy!

Who do I endorse, you ask? I am Baracking the VOTE this year

You can bet that bottom dollar - if Obama wins, I am flying back to DC for inauguration. Jetsetter has already promised to come as well and I'm sure I'll round up the rest of my friends so we can document that moment in history. I don't want to get too excited but every time Obama speaks I get a jolt, I'm positively charged - I just feel EBOUILLENT!

Wouldn't that be something to see? A black man and woman running this country? And No, it's not simply that I am supporting someone of my same race (his momma IS White) and I am never that trite. To me, it's that the symbol of solidarity between a black man and woman has been dilluted to the point where it's almost mythical in American society. The Obamas can be the rule, not the exception. Not that I am in favor of propping people up on pedestals by any means but their public solidarity is what I hope to share one day and so I gush over them.

I believe in Barack and Michelle - I believe in Cliff and Claire Huxtable, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, George and Weezy, Malcolm and Betty Shabazz, Bill and Camille Cosby - shoot even James and Florida Evans. I know this blog is about the primary but how great would it be for my little niece and nephew to grow up with the partnership of Michelle and Barack's legacy represented in The White House? The greatest thing is that for them, children of 7 and 3 years old, Barack being the President will be just a fact, a mundane detail, an incident of note. (at least until they are old enough to really know better) The rest of us will know now, in this moment - that it is much more, and every time we see Barack and Michelle we will be reminded of what our ancestors hoped and fought for us to have.

Disclaimer: I am not AGAINST "Ill Hill" I am just vehemently FOR Barack. No matter who you like, or even if you haven't decided - get informed, stay informed and have your opinion counted in the Primary and General elections.

OMG, am I really back?

okay so... Ms. Jetsetter has gotten me back in stride again!! After my 2 or so years hiatus I am committing myself to TRYING really hard to blog my random thoughts again. So here we go...I am sitting at some hoteling desk (if you don't know what that is I'll tell you in a bit) at my BF's job. It's 7:12 p.m., and I've been here for at least 40 minutes waiting on him and his Mgr to finish a report. How the heck did I get sucked in on this? We were just supposed to meet for the gym after I got off work at 6 p.m.

I feel like a kid who visits their mom and gets hidden in an abandoned cubical and given folders to label to keep themselves busy. My job is creative, my BF's job is ultra corporate - thus the hoteling. At my job we have toys on our desks, music playing all day and a 52" tv in the client lounge. Here: there's repression, ties and the gun and the nod (you know, the fake I'm with ya sign) oh and there's...hoteling: a concept where transient consultants share desks in a bull pen fashion. Basically its a blank cube, with a phone and an internet jack and....NOTHING ELSE. They even have slogans to remind you about the power of being a corporate minimalist. Who in the hell has slogans? 1984 - Red Flag! Here is an example of their slogan, written on a post-card sized paper that is placed in each cube:

"What will you do w/ your space today?"
It's our space
It's your space

Hoteling: Clean Desk Policy
It's a shared space; please dont; leave a trace!

Who the hell crafts this corporate BS? I am sure I sound very "anti-establishment" right now but it's not that serious. I mean - it's just so subliminal it's OBVIOUS, patronizing and sooo damn corny. As corny as the company was for sending out a US wide email the Friday before MLK Day to remind employees that they will be honoring Dr/ King with a "day on" and not a day off. Don't get me started as if Dr King's work for civil rights in anyway equates to the capitalist agenda. They just want to bill hours, not pay employees to have a day off. Classic Spin Doctors... How about you send an email like that 2 damn days before 4th of July? People would flip - so much for the black man's holiday... but I digress

It's 7:22 and I'm still sitting here. The sad part is my house is like 5 blocks away but we've got to work out downstairs in the gym. If his manager asks him about House one more time I am going to bust up in there and yank his laptop out of the wall myself! Rescue me - arggggh

-creative mind trapped in a corporate bind
