Now Playing:
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes;

It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally

If you're on any social networking site, you have probably done one of these. I figured since I've been doing my blog for a little while, I'd give you a little more insight into what makes me tick. So I bring to you: 25 random things about me--which is almost redundant because I'm a pretty random person--so I guess this would be my 25 normal things? Just read! LOL. Oh yea, and I'm trying this vid post thing to add to each of my blog...don't 4get 2 hit play at the end...and don't judge me...LOL

So it's a nice day outside and I decide to take a drive. Where to? It doesn't matter. I get in my car, turn my radio on--only to hear: "O le do way!!!!" And no, that's not some ancient creole language. It is none other than Wacka Flacka Flame. Usually I would be appalled at the blatant lack of lyricsm, but noooooooooo--not this time.

Against all my better judgement as the Hip-Hop elitist that I am, I turn the radio as loud as it can go, and proceed to sing Oh Let's Do It (Yes, that's what he's saying masked behind his "I've-got-food-in-my-mouth accent) at the top of my lungs.

This prompted me to write a blog about rappers that I'm embarrassed to say I like. (As I hang my head in shame)

First on my list is none other than the aforementioned Wacka Flocka Flame. If his name isn't enough to be ashamed of, try the fact where he has a song that no one understands the words to. He kinda reminds me a little of Mush Mouth ( you know, the speech impediment kid from Fat Albert). Anyways, homeboy is signed to So Icy records and was discovered by Gucci Mane, who has also made this list. Unfortunately, Wacka Flocka was recently shot during a car wash robbery--maybe it was an angry fan who got frustrated trying to decipher what the heck Wacka Flocka was saying (hmph)--hope he gets better though!

Coming in a close second is Soulja Boy Tell Em. Is it me, or do these Atlanta rappers have a thing with long names--that kinda make no sense? In any case, I am an avid offender of blasting this guy's music until my speakers burst and my annoying upstairs neighbor comes knocking at my door--especially "Turn my Swag on". Don't judge me! Soulja Boy has mastered the art of saying one sentence in 10 different ways to a good beat.

"I went to the store and bought some can-daaaay. To the candy store I went.
I bought a toostie roll at the tootsie roll store and all my money I have spent--on my blackcard."

And to think he failed the 9th grade not once, but two times. I guess school isn't for everybody?

Gucci Mane LaFluer. First of all, what type of grown man names himself the flower? Second of all, who still wears Gucci printed clothing--how tacky! But I digress, I do enjoy "Wasted" a little too much for my liking. I can't help but move when it comes on in the club--yes, guilty as charged. Good news is, that maybe I'll be able to ween myself off of good ol' Gucci Mane for at least 12 months (because that's how long he'll be in jail). Bad news: He's in jail. Hey, you win some, you lose some.

"He could always pull a Shyne and make a collect call record."

In any case, people--don't judge me! Yes I am a guilty offender, but don't act like y'all don't sing along when you hear them too. I'm pretty sure I'll be adding more to this list soon. In the meantime... (As I dance away from my computer) O Le Do Way!!!

Now Playing: Just the two of us. We can make it if we try...Just the two of us.
Just the two of us. Building castles in the sky...Just the two of us--

Although I talk to you everyday, thought I'd write you a note on your special day. I guess I'll start this off with memories...of course the ones that were special to you and me. Like how I was always a sucker for your magical stunting....especially how you could always find hair ties in my belly button. Or how quarters magically appeared behind my ears, but when I checked they were never there.

I remember that time you "taught" me how to drive, even though years later, Ma told me you drove with your thighs! I was steering the wheel and the car was moving and I really thought that I was cruising. But I digress, it was a small farce, that definitely seemed to warm my heart.

Or our races in the park with Gina and her dad, where y'all would put us on your shoulders and run crazy fast. And I definitely remember us always winning, but if I ask Gina there could be a different ending.

We used to have steak once a week, before mommy got home to take a peak :). And I ate it medium-rare just like you...until I got older and found out that it was basically raw food.

Remember your road rage moment when you flipped the bird to that Asian guy, and he mistakenly took it as the American way to say hi? (I still laugh at that 'til this day btw)

Or our "fishing" trips where we sat there all day, only to catch the fish and throw it back in the bay...or lake...or random body of water?

I remember the one time I was so mad at you! You gave me a spanking and said, "I did it because I love you." I was still mad after and I hollered and screamed, until later you took me to Bob's for a scoop of ice cream.

Or that Capitol Hill Classic when I was running in the race, you saw I was getting tired, so you ran with me the whole way.

In any case, just wanted to say thanks for everything dad...I know your somewhere around still driving that brown van. Also, I wanted to thank you too...because I get half of my stunning looks from you. From my Richardson nose to that scrunched up lip thing you did while thinking...Yea, I got that too but keep on reading.

24 years later you still mean the world, and I'll forever be a Daddy's girl!

Happy Birthday!!!!
