Quotes to Make You Ponder :)

So, I was (still am as a matter of fact) surfin the net and found some old and new quotes that have inspired me, made me think, and just put a smile on my face. There are some, that I know by heart because they mean a lot to me. There are some that I wanted to find because I like the person who said it, or I just didnt know that particular one by heart (duh)....so yea.

Inspiring Ones

• "Only brave warriors fall off their horses in battle. How can kneeling cowards know what a fall is?" --origin unknown. I saw it in a French/Bollywood movie called Monsoon Wedding


• "Pain is only temporary, quitting is forever." --Lance Armstrong


• "In order to be walked on, you have to be lying down." -- Brian Weir


• "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Mahatma Gandhi


• "Wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something." --Plato

Funny/Cool Ones

• 
  
  "I don't design clothes, I design dreams." -- Ralph Lauren


• 
  
  "I'm about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 cent?" -- Jay-Z


• 
  
  "A girl can conquer the world with the right pair of shoes."-- Marilyn Monroe


• 
  
  "I don't 'wrassle', I fucking beat bitches down!" --Coral (MTV's Real World/RoadRules Challenge)

I totally have more, but that just means I'll update this post later on. Definitely take time out to find quotes/sayings you really like or let me know about some. There are (surprisingly) a lot of smart, funny, and inspiring ones out there somewhere. Whether from a favorite movie or celebrity, if it sticks with you then it obviously means something to you. And on that note I'll post one more up that I've posted before and know by heart, because it resonates so much for me.

"They must find it difficult...those who have taken authority as the truth, Rather than truth as authority."

-- Gerald Massey

KANYE WEST. ME. IN THE SAME BUILDING. *faints*

YES!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE.

Kanye's Glow in the Dark Tour will be rolling in at Madison Square Garden in NYC, Tuesday May 13th, 2008, and I will be there!!

I made damn sure to wake up 15 minutes before selling time (12:00pm last Sat. lol) to prepare myself to be real quick with the laptop and order my Kanyeezy tickets from ticketmaster.com. And bygeorge I got em! They're not front row, but they ain't nosebleed seats either. I am way too excited about this, and I will probably die happy that night. As you can see from the poster, Lupe, N.E.R.D, and Rihanna (ugh) will also be there, ITS HISTORY IN THE MAKING! YAY ME! I'll be sure to post any updates on the tour and of course the actual concert when it comes around.

“I’m a pop enigma. I live and breathe every element in life. I rock a bespoke suit and I go to Harold’s for fried chicken. It’s all these things at once, because, as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything. There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things that white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m a go get that. Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black."

--Kanye West in the last 2007 issue of Spin

80th Oscars....wasn't its best...

I was so excited to watch the Oscars last Sunday. Jon Stewart hosting, some of my fave movies of 2007 nominated, and of course the fashion are all ingredients to me fully enjoying this years Oscar presentation. BUT I didn't...it was just ok. There were no "OMG" moments, there were no "SHE/HE WON?!" moments, and the fashion was not really that spectacular...

One question though: Why in the world was Miley Cyrus/Hannah Mon-freaking-tana presenting, yet alone even AT the Oscars....?!?!?


Best Dressed Woman to me was:







































And Worst Dressed Woman HAS to go to:

Danity Kane. Day26. Lovin Them.

Danity Kane is back and better than ever with their new album coming out March 18. There album cover (though a little plain and boring with no relation to the cute title whatsoever) shows how they matured and they're ready for their sophomore comback. ALSO. Their new single "Damaged" is like on repeat in my head and definitely on my favorites playlist on the iPeezy. So if you like Danity Kane, because I LOVE 'EM, totally check em out when they drop out with fresh hits in about a month!

Day26 (the bandname has yet to grow on me..) is the officially name for the talented dudes that are on Making the Band 4 along with Danity Kane. I personally love them too. I mean Diddy obviously knew what he was doing when he picked these five guys, they sing so well, and after watching episode 4 when they first arrived in Miami, I can't wait for their debut album. The guys are so awesome, and extremely talented, and I think Danity Kane & Day26 (still iffy about that name....) are going to the top! : D

Just A Few Inquisitions...

Ok, so this is a post based on pure boredom.



Does anyone ever wonder where the hell "Tyra Mail" comes from? Here I am watching a marathon of cycle 4..or 5, and I've noticed once again how does Tyra mail get inside the house?!Seriously, does someone delver it...is it teleported from Tyra headquarters...? I really want to know the answer to this obviously silly question.





NEXT:




Why didn't anyone see this coming??



Ok, so this is the first and last time I would EVER post anything about Ms. Britney "should quit on life" Spears. But recently, it was revealed that she was undergoing treatment in a psych ward and was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. I TOTALLY called that shit since the beginning of this train wreck...like what...early 2006? Sooo yea, I just wanted to let everyone know, I really did see all the Craig-like symptoms since the very beginning.




NEXT:

Who the hell is Rihanna's hairdresser?



So, I don't even like the chick. I swear she's overrated, but her hair is looking so fierce. Even though she copied the previous "Rihanna" haircut from Beyonce AND Victoria Beckham., it was hot also. This is a cute pixie-cut, which she debuted in France at the NRJ Awards (which may be a clue as to who cut her hair). I first saw this (obviously)on Perez Hilton.com and was like "Oh my bob!" This is HAWT!! Even though she can't sing for shit, and is a pure pawn in the entertainment industry, there are some serious people in her camp, fighting to make her a real fashion icon. And even I'll admit it, it might just be working....

That is all, please leave some comments if you have answers, if you agree, and all of that....
