Have you ever seen something so hideous, so outrageous, so other-wordly, that you react like this? I have....plenty of times at work and all I could say was somebody better break out the Bengal Spray, I didnt sign up for this. But as for this dude, let's just say he keeps looking over his shoulder, peeping round corners, I think his mind is playing tricks on him.

She got a black girl name...she living black girl pain - Talib Kweli

ABC reports top "whitest" and "blackest" names
I had a discussion with a friend awhile back when I first graduated from college. We were discussing how your name can block you from a callback for an interview. Her cousin had a baby and named it a "Caucasian" name so she wouldn't have a hard time later in life. My friend didnt think it mattered and just didn't get it, but she also had a Caucasian name too. I on the other hand knew exactly where she was coming from because my name had the "sha" in it and my first name was Hispanic. Anyhoo, 20/20 did a report about the name game and true enough, Kaitlin and Cody got the call backs whereas Diamond and DeAndre's phone fell silent. Now if I could only get my young mothers to stop the insanity with the multiple vowels and consonants in their babies names.

Babies born recently in my hometown that are doomed according to 20/20:

xxxx Russell of xxxx announces the birth of a son, Latavious Kedarien, on Aug. 21, 2006, at xxxx Foundation Hospital.

xxx Stanley and xxxx McGowan of xxxxx announce the birth of a daughter, Tatiana Kenshell Stanley, on Aug. 15, 2006, at xxx Foundation Hospital.

xxxx Gentry and xxxxBuckley of xxxx announce the birth of a daughter, Ja’Niya Danielle Gentry, on Aug. 17, 2006, at xxx Foundation Hospital.


xxxx Harris Jr. and xxxx Ruffin of xxxx announce the birth of a daughter, Saniyah La’Jada Ciara Harris, on Aug. 19, 2006, at xxxx Foundation Hospital.


Those that are a shoo-in:
xxxx Broome of xxxx announce the birth of a daughter Olivia Grace, on Aug. 20, 2006, at xxxx Foundation Hospital.

xxxx Boose of xxxx announces the birth of a daughter, Kennedy Alyse, on Aug. 17, 2006, at xxxx Foundation Hospital.

xxxx May and xxxx Roberson of xxxxx announce the birth of a son, Justin Blake May, on Aug. 15, 2006, at Rush Foundation Hospital.

Its Sunday once again & I would like to send soothing words that personally brings me joy and peace. I recognize that there are many other faiths out there, and I definitely respect them, however, this is my blog...nuff said.

It's Getting Hot in Herre

Remember Corey Penn from Pete Rock & CL Smooth from back in the day? Yeah, he was going to be my baby daddy after Lots of Lovin came out. Well, after all these years I've been reminiscing over him, he's back, and he's discussing the current state of hip hop (what old school artist isnt these days?) and also addressing those pesky rumors about being on the outs with Pete Rock. He also throws in a little classic old school joint.

First, he's linked with Nia Long as the dude that beat down her baby daddy, then he creates a frenzy in Jacktown about the NO giving him respectable dough, now he might be getting that Heisman snatched back. He's under investigation for getting "da hook up" incentives like getting his mama's credit fixed, pimped out accessories on his ride, and a new crisp clean suit for his daddy on draft day. I know good and well getting handouts is common practices among top athletes in colleges. I cant say I've witnessed it first hand b/c I went to an HBCU in the South and they tend to forget about us and throw the money over at those "other folks". Bush probably could care less if they snatch back that Heisman; he's got the real prize in his bank account..he's not worried about a dang thang.

Conservative Fox News once again is shining a bad light on the ignorance of a few. How these street videos got to their attention, I dont know but Darryl Smith, the guy behind "Crackheads Gone Wild" is showing us how it goes down in the hoods of ATL. Its very sad, but did this warrant a story on "The Most Biased Name in News?"

Yep, that's lil' Rudy, I thought it was that chick Hoops from Flava of Love but with a closer look I see, yep, that's Rudy, oops I mean Keisha. So I guess the need to be scary skinny in the entertainment industry is hard when you're a naturally somewhat thick sister these days. Rudy apparently found a way to get around her tendencies to get a little chunky e'er know & then. Who knew? Probably everybody but me. Check out the story at Bossip.com.
