The world according to me…

This time last year, I has just finished my last final. I was finally graduating college! I still had that perfect 4.0 GPA and was anxiously checking my grades online everyday to see if I manage to graduate with a 4.0. Then to my horror, I realized that I wasn’t going to graduate with honors…nada!…not cum laude, magna cum laude let alone summa cum laude. The reason? I had transferred from a two year college to KSU. At the time of my petition for graduation I did not have the required 60 credits (I had 57!) to graduate with honors and summer grades come out AFTER graduation. Go figure! I was livid. What was a girl to do?..I boycotted my own graduation. Regrets? Nah…my friend Teresa told me they held it in the stinky gym and it was hotter than hell. Besides the mortar just did not do my hair justice! Graduations are overrated but then again… I did spend 4 1/2 years in college…sigh.

FYI I did graduate with a 4.0 and summa cum laude (Look I get gloating privileges because I didn’t go to my own graduation boo hoo!).

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you…

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I’m having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn’t find a killer hook
Now you’ve gone & raised the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you…

I think Natasha Beddingfield sums it up pretty well, don’t ya think? *wink*

It’s Friday evening, I get off work and I am walking along 34th window shopping. Right on the corner of Broadway this woman sipping an iced latte stops me.

Woman: Excuse me. I am just shopping but I am a psychic. I noticed something very strong about your aura.

Me: Okay…erm what is it telling you?

Woman: You’re going to be very successful.

Me: Okay thanks.

Woman: I sense you are  going to be very successful in the future but you are confused about love.

Me: Confused about love? I don’t think so…

Woman: Well you should let me read you sometimes.

Me: Erm…no thank you but I appreciate the nice things you said.

Yes only in New York…right? Anyway…woohoo I am going to be successful. So what if I don’t believe in psychics? I know she’s right about being successful!Oh… I am definitely NOT confuse about love. I am very sure about where we are. He does his own thing and I do my own thing. I don’t ask for more than what we have. I don’t overthink and just let things flow. Good things comes to those who wait…cheers! 

On Sunday I was "French for a Day". I went to Bastille Day on 60th Street. All along 60th street from Lex to Fifth vendors set up cute little stalls. The food was delicious. Let’s see, I had a creme brulee, veal burger on baguette, crepes (with honey and bananas) and so much more.  Good music. Cute checkered cloth tables dotted 60th street for us gluttons to wine and dine in style. Hot French men with to die for accents…sigh. The rain did not dampen my spirits or the long lines for crepes! I cannot believe we stood in line in the rain with an umbrella for the crepes. I have to fess that I felt guilty about the veal burger…but I promise this will be the one and only time I have veal. All in all it was good times, good times…

So he went to a concert a couple of nights ago. The next day he had a huge hangover and barely remembered the night before. One thing for sure he was limping cause his ass ached from too much dancing (like I am falling for that!). Then he tells me that he came home with four numbers. He didn’t ask for them. The girls approached him and gave it to him. He of course graciously accepted them. Apparently (per my dearest) they like what they saw. Yes, he is one cocky bastard but that’s what I like about him. Am I jealous? Oh pulezz…I am too old to throw jealous tantrums. Besides, he ain’t calling them because he doesn’t remember how they look like…

I love this show. I mourned for the loss of Sex and the City but Sunday nights have bounced back with a vengeance…oh yeah I am talking about Entourage. Now in its 2nd season, Entourage only gets better. The fact that I am now a Queens gal only makes me love it more!  In a nutshell (what a cliche!), Vincent Chase is a hot rising star. He shares his exciting Hollywood life and home with his best pal/manager, Eric, big brother, Johnny Drama and good friend, Turtle. His agent, Ari Gold steals the show as the resident d**k. Turtle is hilarious as the "house manager" aka freeloader. You can’t help but root for Drama to catch a break. Ari is an ass but he gets the job done. In the Gold family, however, the missus wears the pants.  E is the guy I want to fall in love with. Vince…well he is just plain gorgeous! Great guest stars/cameos every episode - Jessica Alba, Val Kilmer, Mark Wahlberg, Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, Bai Ling, Larry David etc. Guys give the show a try!  

We were just hanging out yesterday and Akon’s "Lonely" came on. Immediately both of us cried out, "I love this song!" We looked at each other and burst out laughing. So that was one cute moment we had together among other things. Let’s see we also love "Don’t Cha" by Pussycat Dolls and "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani. I absolutely detest "Wait (The Whisper Song)" by the Ying Yang Twins but he loves it.  I love "Mic Check" by Juelz Santana but he calls it an oldie. Anyhoo…

Let me hear you say this sh*t is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Check out The Superficial. It’s my absolute favorite website. They tell it as it is! I am NOT sorry that I happen to agree with them. Look:

1. Kirsten Dunst IS stupid and ugly.

2. Paris Hilton can’t even spell class.

3. Mariah Carey is a selfish narcisstic b**tch.

4. Tom Cruise should be the poster boy for the Pride Parade.

5. Hilary Duff DOES look like a giant rectangle!

People… I don’t randomly criticize or judge my fellow human beings on the street but if you’re famous (infamous?)…you deserve my attention.
