Lady Gaga

Now yall all know I aint no Hater (shut up Poppa!). I give props where props are due. And I def have to say, when Lady Gaga FIRST hit the scene with "Just Dance" that was my joint. I looked up the lyrics and all that. That was a banger. Her next one "Poker Face" was eehh. Its an ok track, but the lyrics are clever, so she gets cool points for that. Next "Eh Eh Nothin else I can say" its cute. I like it a lot, and her next one "Love Game" well lets not talk about that.......

Moving along....

Now that I done gave her her props, I just have some questions. Why in the hell is homegirl always in a damn bathing suit in damn near all her videos? I mean seriously, does she walk down the streets of Manhattan in THIS weather with a bathing suit and stockings on? Is she tryna start a trend? Isnt she cold? Im really just tryna figure out what she is doing.

And in her new Love Game video, is she really kissin a girl? Isnt that video a lil TOO suggestive? Did she really spread her legs open like that in the video? And whats with all the crotch grabbin in the video? *confused*

Im just gonna leave it at that....... you can check her vids on my side bar

You want to INTERVIEW ME?

Well in an interesting turn of events, a lady that I met a while back asked me if she could interview me. Of course I said yes, but never really thought it would come about. Poli (pronounced like Polly) called me Thursday and asked if we could meet for the interview. We set a time for Fri and met.

She is such a doll, let me tell you. She was very polite, and funny. She asked me questions about my family, my life in NY, things I missed (hey Poppa), the differences, why I was here, what I wanted to do with my life, if I considered myself an adventurist, and a whole bunch of questions. She even asked me what things made me cry (ok, random) and I shared with her that I cry when my feeleings are hurt and told her about those kids throwing something at me and those guys saying rude shit to me. She was so surprised and told me that Bulgarians are very accepting of other cultures and people (hahahaha). We talked (in Bulgarian) for about an hour before another girl I met showed up. They invited me to see an art show with them, and we drove to Sofia to hang out.

They were so cute, and funny. They taught me some curse words, and how to say really bad phrases in BG. And to be quite honest, I could understand about 80% of what was going on and I didnt use the FAKE LAUGH nearly as much as I usually do! We got quick drink before they drove me home.

Oh, one of the girls said I had a Brazilian Butt! I wasnt really payin attention and heard the end of what she said. When I asked if they were talkin bout me, she said of course and said she didnt mean it to be offensive, it was a good thing (Altho compared to EVERYONE else here Im sure my butt looks humongus, but compared to Brazilians, my joint look like a pancake. Cuz they be having mad weight back there). I agreed and said everyone including me loves my booty! hahahahaha Im just glad she didnt try to touch it!

Good times.....

Work on Saturday

Well well well, just when you think you got a good thing going, they tell you you have to work on Saturday!

About 2 weeks ago, we had a mini vacation. Sunday (3/1) was a holiday here, and Tuesday (3/3) was the day of Bulgarian Independence, another holiday. So we had Mon and Tues off from school (but since I have Fri off, I had quite a nice lil vacation!) So Im going bout my business, you know doin my thing when someone mentions that they have to work on Saturday to "make up" for the Mon we had off from work. Im thinkin this is a joke, but low and behold its true. EVERYONE has to work on Saturday, even teachers.

So at this point, im tryna feign ignorance, you know pretend that since no one told me about it, I could sleep til lik 1 or 2 like usual. BUT no, someone had to open their big ass mouth and let me know Thursday that there was school on Saturday.

I still dont understand this "make-up" thing. Its stupid........

1 more thing

dont be crying when you read that!

Ode to Poppa Bear.....

Poppa is so convinced that Jojo and I have something going on cuz I write about her in my blog often, and said he wanted me to blog about him. And you all know that whatever Poppa wants, he gets, so......

Poppa,

Today marks our one year anniversary! When we first met, you didnt try to holla at me, and that actually surprised me. I know that you KNEW I was the shit, but for whatever reason, you kept it cool. We eventually began to like each other, and soon nothing could keep us apart. What started as a fondness for each other has grown into love, and I thank you for it.

Now I must say, that I was VERY skeptical when you said you wanted to stay together while I left the country. Long distance relationships are extremely hard to keep up with, especially since you live in the land of opportunity. But you made me a promise, and you have kept it. What I assumed was something that would crumble and fall to pieces, has grown even stronger with the passing days.

This is not to say that we have not had ups and downs. There are times when you get on my nerves with stupid things that you say. And I am sure that there are times when I complain and talk your ear off. And I know I fucked up. But mutual respect and love for each other has allowed us to learn and grow together, conquering all that is placed before us. Its been difficult being so far away from you. When we started to catch fire, you were so loving, sweet, and extremely gentle. I have come to know that you have gone above and beyond that, showing me the meaning of honesty in its truest form. I trust you with everything in me, and I hope you know that.

I can be having the worst day, but just hearing your voice allows the anger to float off me and into the air. We laugh and joke on the phone constantly, and I have come to think of you as my best friend. And of course, when I am sad, or ready to quit, you are always there to support me. Making sure that I see this thing through. You are such a good person, equipped with exactly what I need to stay afloat. It is my pleasure to have you, and I am so glad that we are together. No one can understand us like we do, so although I try to be very private and discreet about my life, I want whoever will listen to know that I love you.

So with this, I hope you never have to doubt the fact that I love you, and would do anything for you. It is in my nature to please others whenever possible. You are my King, and there is and never will be a time when I dont treat you as such. I hope you know this, and in me see all the things that I see in you.

Love grows where it is honored.

yours

My bad....

Stupid hoe. I love it!

SMDH

means shaking my damn head Alex

Madoff Madness

I usually try to keep up with the news happening in the US and around the world thru CNN and the internet. I just read a very interesting piece on yahoo news about this Madoff guy. He was denied bail and sent back to prison after he pleaded guilty to 11 charges that included theft, perjury and money laundering. According to the article "The scheme evaporated life fortunes, wiped out charities and apparently pushed at least two investors to commit suicide. Victims big and small were swindled by Madoff, from elderly Florida retirees to actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel."

Thats some ole BUllshit right there....

Anyway, Madoff faces up to 150 years in prison, even tho he is 70 and probably wont even do a sufficient amount of time that will appease any of his victims. His "I am deeply sorry and ashamed" has DEFINATELY come too little too late, and I for one hope this man gets the maximum.

Ive always found it so interesting how "white-collar crimes", such as fraud, bribery and insider trading has always got slaps on the wrist, while you could get caught with possession of like a vile of crack and get like 20 years in jail. I suppose because blue-collar crimes include force, and injured people, then its different. And also, blue-collar crimes occur way more frequently. The law as to catch up to computer crimes and insider trading, cuz when the laws were made, these things didnt exist.
But why should a stock broker get several months or probation from stealing a clients money as opposed to someone who breaks into your home and steals your TV. Aren't they both theft? Aren't there both victims who have gotten something taken away?
I suppose the law is cracking down on certain things these days. The fact that Madoff stole almost $65 billion from his victims is wayyyyyyyyyy different then if I stole say $10,000 from someone (altho that shouldnt be an excuse). And also I think people are realizing the effects that these things have on people. Folks lost EVERYTHING they owned in this lil scheme he had going. Pensions, retirement packages, all folks had left after working their asses off for years and years.......And I know you all remember Martha Stewart. Yeah she got the short end of the stick by doing several months in prison (and I use that term VERY lightly), but that who gave her the tip got like 6 years in prison.

This whole thing is a bunch of foolishness. Money makes people THAT crazy that you gotta steal it from others. And $65 Billion. What the hell could he possibly have done on NEEDED with ALL that money? He is 70 for heaven's sake. Was he buying gold/diamond encrusted diapers for him and his wife?

Again, 150 years is lookin like a just desert for this guy........un huh, deeply sorry and ashamed I got CAUGHT is what his ass really meant!
