banksy is here for the oscars

the internet has been buzzing all week with news about banksy hitting LA. today the mickey & minnie billboard was taken down and rumor is that the charlie brown piece was stolen. i knew there was a reason banksy was using those characters so i did a little research to confirm what i already suspected and my theory is it’s because the oscars are on ABC which is a disney company. disney = mickey & minnie. so charlie brown wasn’t created by disney but ABC signed a deal to air peanuts cartoons. could banksy be giving the oscars the finger? sure seems like it…

or maybe he just doesn’t like disney? remember the disneyland prank… yea. wonder what he’ll do if he actually does win an oscar!!! or do they actually show that award being given during the broadcast?

these are just my personal random thoughts when rich and famous people bomb. in this case, the recent jailing of lindsay lohan. people like me who feel blessed with what we have often wonder where things go wrong for people who seem to have everything…

are we products of our environment or are we born with predispositions? it’s a hard question for me to swallow being a mother of 3 but it’s a good topic for debate. i honestly think things happen in our lives that change us. who we become is out of survival or necessity? watching the news, seeing what i’ve seen in my own life and watching the past 3 seasons of nip/tuck on instant netflix has shown me there’s no real answer… for anything. do what makes YOU happy. as long as you abide by state or country laws. heh.

i know la guera will do fine in jail.

my guiltiest pleasure: reality shows

most people i know won’t admit to religiously watching reality shows, it’s like some dirty little secret that you don’t want anyone finding out. not me, i fucking love ‘em. there’s just something so intriguing about people that vie for love, money or airtime. why do i watch this shit? for the laughs and sometimes for the smokin’ hot chicks.

i give credit to the truly smart ones, those that are on tv to create their brand, to make themselves memorable so they either get their own show or get paid to make rounds on the club circuit or open the doors to be able to do whatever they want to do in the industry. milk it!

which brings me to my encounter with the lovely becky buckwild of flavor of love 2, i love money 2 and charm school fame. i’ve been following her on twitter and watched her romance with frank “the entertainer” maresca blossom and bomb… i was cheering for them because i wanted to see their own show. but i’m happier that she’s found someone better!

i don’t want to get into the specifics but i reached out to her and some direct messages later we got to meet up. pretty sweet deal if you ask me. so twitter, i thank you again! i thought becky & angelah were so awesome!!! they are both funny and full of life! they weren’t some conceited bitches lol

becky, angelah and i might be working on something in the future so if you are a fan, stay tuned!!!

the beautiful becky buckwild (@BeckyBuckwild) & beautiful angelah verdi (@angelahverdi)

this is why i love garcia

garcia is my fave nerd on tv crime shows. the others ain’t got shit on her! she’s cute, quirky, flirty and i love how she dresses. yes i realize she’s only a character on the show lol

so the other day i’m watching criminal minds ‘house on fire’ and see her sporting a yoshitomo nara shirt!!!!!!!!!<3

hello. is there anybody in there?

if anyone was to weather a storm it’d be me but this whole year has been a bitch and i just fell back.

shit kept happening, one after another… so much of it to deal with and i needed a breather for myself. most of my absence from here was spent on twitter and playing animal crossing city folk. that game is IT. talk about relaxing me lol

but my saving grace actually happened last night in watching 2 shows that brought back bittersweet memories from being a teen. as lame as it sounds they were: TI’s road to redemption with a 15 year old girl gangbanger named cynthia from south central and icons: metallica

first of all, TI is a stand up celebrity. he fucked up and now he’s trying to fix it while helping others. not only the kids he’s personally helping but the ones watching.. i can appreciate that about him even if i’m not a fan of his music. it shows character and most rappers that do damage (violent rap lyrics, stupid beefs) are celebrated.

cynthia – she got into the gang after her brother was shot and killed when she was 13 and wanted retribution. she had the toughest exterior i’ve seen on the show, her hardcore accent and slang were making me laugh. i grew up knowing a bunch of cynthias because i was raised in long beach. TI brought her to a funeral home in compton then to homegirl cafe where gang members shared their stories.. then he showed her what her future could be, a photographer. i was so touched by the episode because i grew up in the era where west coast rap was the thing and no one wanted to help misguided angels. i wish cynthia the best!!

metallica – i hadn’t watched it and it aired in 2003 so it was a nice treat. i was like WTF at avril lavigne though. really mtv, really? :rolleyes: my faves were snoop doing ‘sad but true’ and korn doing ‘ONE’. i remember the first time i ever saw the video for ONE. i was at my high school best friend’s house and she had it on vhs. taped off late night mtv when mtv still showed videos 24/7 or THE BOX (who remembers the box? you call in and order music videos for .99 – it was the shit). anyways, she put it on and i was blown away. i never seen shit like it and it was then that i started listening to metallica. i was the type of chick that listened to KIIS FM and west coast rap haha

anyways, I’M BACK BITCHES!
