I am still waiting on my friend to forward me the Little Richard concert pics. You know how that is...oh well.
But in the meantime...
Let me vent about trifling mofo's...Particularly men with women that hound other women while with their woman. So here's to the knuckle head in Wal-Mart the other night...
Yes I saw you, I know you know I saw you, because you were looking dead in my grill. If you noticed the look on my face, you would have seen it was not one of pleasure or excitement, but more so a look of contempt and disgust. Again, I saw you...but tell me this...why did you keep separating from the woman you were apparently shopping with to be all in my grill? Did you really need something off the bakery isle ? I'm just asking. And then to stand in front of the self check out as I was in line starring at me...well can we just say crazy, deranged! Wal-Mart stalking is not sexy! And you are downright trifling!

Opening Acts
The Forty Acres Fest is an annual student organized event at the University of Texas. The fest is an all day event that features food, games, prizes, and live music. When I was a student, the fest featured acts such as Rob Bass and DJ EZ Rock, Tone Loc, Young MC, and The Roots. In recent years, Ludacris and Common have headlined the fest. So when I heard that my beloved University was bringing Little Richard to town, I had to go! I was just telling my sister that we are beginning to loose our legends, and it would be nice to see some of them perform. Well I can now say that I have seen a living legend perform. As I mentioned in my previous post Little Richard is the originator, often imitated, never duplicated. He however, deserves his own post, and I will get to that once my friend forwards the pics to me.
What I wanted to focus on today were the opening acts. Now I have to remember that this was a student led event, but it seems that they could have really done better. Austin is nicknamed the live music capitol of the world, and there are so very talented musicians here. However, the bands chose to open for Little Richard did not fit that description. First up was Kevin Jack. Well, I will excuse the selection of Kevin Jack because apparently, he won the campus battle of the bands, and that secured him a spot in last nights show. Now Kevin Jack is a rapper, and he was backed by a live band. The problem is, it seems that he assembled his band at the last minute. They took forever to warm up, because most of that time they were on stage bumping their gums. And when the sound engineer asked someone to do a vocal mic check, they all stood their looking at each other with these dumb blank expressions on their faces…Wow. The back up singer stepped to the mic and begin singing “Ooh, la, la, la”…wow, she’s tone deaf. Not a good look. The sound engineer finally stepped up to the vocal mics and said “Mic check, 1-2-1-2, that’s all they had to do to begin with. *smh* Completely unprofessional! My first thought was “And you wonder why know one wants to fool with us”. Well, my allergies begin to give me fits, and I left the concert area to go to the Texas Union to get some water so I could take my allergy pill. When I got back, Kevin Jack was rapping up…yes!
Now, the next act were a group of men who call themselves the Jungle Rockers. Yeah, I don’t quite get it myself. All of their songs sound the same…If you’ve watched the movie “Grease” just think of the “Grease Lightening” song...not too mention the members of the band looked like T-Bird rejects. Yeah, I was in the audience singing the lyrics to “Grease Lightening” to all of their songs. There were three opening acts, and since the show did not start on time, they were each allowed three songs. Well, the T-Birds sang four, well actually, one of them was a maraca solo. I don’t know…but when the lead greaser leaned into the mic to start the lyrics of song number 5, his mic was cut off, the stage lights were turned off, and funk music started blaring from the speakers. The crowd roared, the drummer threw his sticks down, the bass player kept on strumming, and the lead vocalist…well we saw his mouth moving, but to our satisfaction, nothing was coming out. LOL! Thus far, this was the highlight of the night. They finally exited stage left and next up was local Austin blues man, Black Joe Lewis.
Now, I have never heard of Mr. Black Joe, but he looked off to me from jump. He was wearing this dashiki, and the rest of his band looked as though they were auditioning to appear on the blues brothers. Well, my initial opinion of Mr. Black Joe Lewis was right. This man is not right! He steps to the mic, and the first thing out of his mouth was BITCH! Yes, he said it like I typed it. Everyone in the audience were looking around at each other like WTH! Then he proceeds with “You’re always talking that shit…”. I honestly could not understand most of the words coming out of his mouth. But I could understand the last line of his opening number…”I’ma beat yo ass when I get home”. *smh* I can’t take it! Then in his second song, he was asking a woman “Why don’t you call me…”. Umm, maybe because you called her a bitch, and threatened to beat her ass. Ummm, I don’t know…So before he closes he dedicates his final number to all the fine Texas women with big ol’ booty’s, because you know that Texas women are the ones with the big ol’ booty’s. *smh*…Yeah, I did a lot of head shaking last night. At this point, Little Richard appears in one of the windows of the main building, we just see an image in white, and someone zooms in with their camera…yes its Little Richard! At this point, cameras go up, trying to zoom in a snap a picture of the originator. You know that ‘s sad, when we rather try to make out Little Richard in a window far away, then listen to Black Joe Lewis…but let me get back to Mr. Black Joe Lewis. Well, the number he dedicated to us Texas women with the big ol booty’s…started with PLEASE! Mann, I thought he was about to cover James Brown, oh well, so much for a hoping to hear a real song. He proceeds to sing “I want some of that bush in dem jeans”. Yeah, you read that right. *smh*. Again, I could not understand most of what Mr. Joe Black Lewis is saying, but I did make out him begging…”I would do anything to have you, get on my knees, walk like a dog, eat dog food…”. Yes, this fool said he would eat dog food. I’m done!
Yes, this was a hot mess! But don’t fret, seeing Little Richard made it all worth the while. I will post about his performance shortly.
Oh, and I had a conversation with one of his brothers after the show that was interesting. The audience consisted mostly of young white students. There were a few black faces sprinkled through out the crowd, and you had your older members who actually are from Little Richard’s time. Well, his brothers were handing out souvenir books that are actually Christian devotional booklets that contained an autographed picture of Little Richard. FYI, Little Richard is an ordained Minister . As they handed out the books, they thanked everyone for coming out. I got separated from my sister and my friend, so I stood over to the side (thinking they would have to pass me) as they handed out books. His brother handed me a book, then gave me another for a friend. He asked me if I was a longhorn. “Yes” I answer. Well, noticing the demographics of the show he asks “Is there many black longhorns?”. Well, I tell him that in relation to the majority population no, but we exist, and when I was on campus we were the largest minority population. He then proceeds to ask me “Where do the black students in Texas choose to go?”. I told him that TX and TX A&M, are the two institutions that most students within the state of Texas choose to attend. But I did note that Prairie View and Texas Southern are the largest HBCU’s in TX, which he already knew. We also started talking about Rice University, and we got on the subject of Jenna Bush attending UT, and Jeb’s son graduating from the UT college of Law. He then gave me two more books, and told me to remember to always keep God first. They all seem to be very down to earth. Little Richard included, but I will get to that later.

Good Golly Miss Molly!
I am going to see the originator this weekend…who was the first to wear the shiny suits? Well, I don’t know if it was James Brown, or Jimmy "Thunder" Early (lol)…but when I think shiny suit, eyeliner, and conk, the first man that comes to mind is Little Richard. This man is a Rock ‘N Roll Icon. Yes, I said Rock N’ Roll Icon! Elvis is given all the props, but there would be no Elvis without greats such as Little Richard and Chuck Berry. And where did you think Paul McCartney got his signature high “Whoo”? Little Richard is truly a living legend, I can’t wait until the show on Saturday…and you know I will be reporting back.
Two Tears In A Bucket!
This has really become my motto in the past week or two. I am spent, I am beyond tired, and I say “Two Tears in a Bucket…”
It seems that I am the shoulder that people in my life tends to lean on. Problem being…when I need a shoulder, it seems there is NO one there. I have spread myself way too thin over the past month, and unfortunately, things are going to get worse before they get better. However, I am going to have to take time and just take care of self. I had a mild panic attack the other morning, only because I have been running myself ragged worring about the well being of others. To hell with everyone else right now. If these past few weeks have taught me anything, they have taught me it’s ok to be selfish.
On another note…
I hate being given the “cold shoulder” but when someone chooses not to communicate with you, what can you do. It seems that a few people in my life have chosen to give me the cold shoulder here recently, and this had me upset for a minute. If I try to reach out to you, I feel that you should at least give me the courtesy of letting me know what’s the deal. I look at is this way…we’re grown, so we should be able to communicate our issues to each other right? I would rather you tell me that you choose not to talk to me and why, versus me sitting here wondering why the hell you are not talking to me. But again I say ‘”Two Tears In A Bucket…”
Now…
I have met a few people via the net. I am not on myspace, nor do I have a profile on any personal sites…There’s a reason for that. However, through blogging, I came across an online community that I grew much “attached” to. I made some connections and really felt as though I made a few friends. It is very odd however, considering I have only met one person, and I have only had actual verbal conversations with a couple. I am generally a guarded individual, however, I really felt comfortable in this format and found myself opening up, like I would with me “real world’ friends. However, things happen, shit happens, people happen, and I learned that not all of us were showing our real faces. It seems that some people get on the net to try to “jump fly”…fabricating stories about themselves to come across interesting or to impress others. I also learned that there is a lot of online “haterism”. I was never one to try to fit into the group. I feel that if you accept me, you are accepting “me”. I also was naïve in believing, that grown azz people know how to act accordingly. My mistake, I forgot grown does not equal mature. My mother has been warning me to be careful because there are crazies on the net…I think I need to heed her warning.
I would just like to close this post by saying…”Two Tears In A Bucket…”

March Madness!
TEXAS FIGHT!
Looks, like it might be Kevin Durant's first and last year as a Longhorn...but first things first...
Well, March Madness is in full effect! Conference Championships are underway, and the bracket will be released tomorrow! I can't wait. This is really the only time, outside of TX B-Ball, that I truly follow college hoops. The Big 12 Championship game is tomorrow, and my Longhorns have a rematch with the Jayhawks...we owe them a Texas sized whooping, and I am hoping my boys can deliver. I am quite sure they have earned their bid to the big dance. I am cheering on the burnt orange and white, we need another final four appearance! Go Horns Go!

*****UPDATE*****
Well, my boys are officially out of the big dance! So I can care less what happens. LOL Well, actually for the sake of my bracket, I need Florida, Kansas, and Ohio State to reach the Final Four. And...
Just for the Hell of it...I will even root for those damn Aggies. LOL

Nike Air?
I am a Nike girl. Loves, Loves, Loves them! Nike is the only brand of athletic shoe that I wear. With that being said…the person at Cole Haan that came up with this idea is a genius! I am not really a fan of any of the Nike Air shoes that Cole Haan offers, but my life would so be complete if I could get some Nike Air pumps in my life.

Get to know me...
It’s been a minute since I’ve done a personal blog entry, and I don’t think I have ever truly given to much insight as to who I am…my likes and dislikes. I guess I have been so busy to really sit down and come up with anything. Today would still be one of those things, but I thought I would just give you a little insight into me…
Some of my interest include but are not limited to Reading, writing (primarily music lyrics and fictional stories), singing, dancing, baking, and shoe shopping. I love to create and I always seem to need to be productive. I absolutely love football, and I guess you could call me a girlie tomboy to some degree. And for those of you who have yet to hold a conversation with me…I love to talk, but I am also a good listener! Although a night on the town is fun every once in a while, I do not feel the need to run the streets…I would say I am a homebody. I seem to have the most fun just chillin’ with my close friends and family.
I am into fashion, but I am not that into labels. I like to look good, but I don’t feel a need to break the bank doing so. Although I do not consider myself a label whore, I do keep up with certain designers, and I am really considering getting a pair of Citizen of Humanity jeans…well that’s if I can squeeze my behind into them. Although I would say I am a trendy individual, I tend to buy classic pieces that I can take from day to night, and give it my own personal flair by accessorizing. I rarely go into Saks or Neimans (however, I love their outlets stores), but I am not a Target/Payless kind of chick either.
I guess you could say I’m a picky eater. I don’t like sliced bread( it’s the texture I don’t like, and the taste of white bread), but I will make toast…but only using Mrs. Baird’s Split Top Wheat. I do not like condiments…no ketchup, mustard, mayo, tarter sauce, jelly, or gravy for me. I will eat honey with a biscuit every now and then, and I now will eat ranch dressing. I am a bbq sauce with my fries type of chick. As a child I also would not eat butter, syrup, or any type of salad dressing. I am not a big fan of chocolate, but I will eat a brownie, and I love me some chocolate milk. My favorite flavor of ice cream is Vanilla…preferably Blue Bell’s Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. If you want to win me over fry me some shrimp…I absolutely love shrimp, and I think I have eaten them every possible way. except for coconut shrimp…don’t like coconut. Probably the strangest thing about my pickiness, is the fact that I absolutely hate drinking water. Water is so gross to me…it either taste soapy, bitter, or rusty. YUCK! I can however tolerate the taste of Fiji Water, and I drink Vitamin Water’s Revive (which is truly watered down fruit punch). I am also very particular about the look and smell of my food. I will not eat anything from anywhere. I abhor potlucks!
Favorite NFL team: Tennessee Titans
Favorite Movies: Forrest Gump, The Color Purple, Coming to America, Friday (the original only), The Five Heartbeats, Grease, The Wiz, and now Dreamgirls.
Favorite musical artists: Prince, Chaka Kahn, Rick James, Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, and New Edition...And you know what….I even like Beyonce, might go see her perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo…oh the horror! LOL
Well, not that I have given you a few tid bits about me…thanks for stopping by and have a good day! *smiles*

Congrats to the Chicks!
Austin's own Dixie Chicks took home 5 Grammy's tonight.
Alubm of the Year
Record of the Year
Song of the Year
Country Album
Best Country Performance-Group
I have been a fan for a minute, however, I think I became a true fan when Natalie Mains openly spoke out against President Bush. The fact that people actually threatened her life because of that is crazy too me. I like the fact she did not back down from her belief. I just love this song, "Not Ready to Make Nice". Enjoy.

If you read the post below, you know that I was rooting for the Bears and had a little wager riding on this game. Yes, the bet was my idea. I’m a good sport, so I plan to follow through. Although I was pulling for the Bears, I am VERY happy for Tony Dungy! He is a great coach and such a class act! He more than deserves to be the first African American coach to hold the Vince Lombardi trophy. So, I am off to learn this horrible song. Ugh! I may loose my TX EX privileges. LOL! You might want to tune in to The Sports Salon on Saturday…I don’t think you will want to miss this.

Show Stopping!
I am so excited! This Saturday is the first broadcast of an internet radio sports talk show that I am co-hosting! The Sports Salon with Keli and Kaos will air on Saturday Feb 03 between the hours of 2 to 4 pm CST. The basis of the show is to have a sports show hosted by women geared towards the female audience, however, fellas there will be plenty for you to enjoy as well. Our regular time slot going forward will be Saturday between the hours of 2 to 4 pm CST. Kaos and I are both so excited and your support is greatly appreciated. So tune in and spread the word!

You will need Real Player in order to hear the feed.

***********Update************
The show turned out great! The two of us had a blast! Thanks to those who tuned in! For those of you who missed it, we will also broadcast a live show this coming Saturday at the same time. You don't want to miss this one! If the Bears win Kaos, who’s an aggie, will have to sing Texas Fight and sign off with Hook'em Horns! My readers know that I am an Orange Blood through and through, but if the Colts win, I will have to sing that awful aggie war hymn, and sign off with gig'em aggies (yuck!). The bet itself should be worth the listen.

Hmm...
An anonymous comment in response to my Serena post.
You really should have someone proofread your work. There are a LOT of misspelled words in your articles, as well as words used totally out of context.Also, in the heading on the site, you say you are, "Never at a lost for words." It really should read, "Never at a loss (l-o-s-s) for words."Just an observation.
Here is my reply to this response…
I probably should ignore, but I am in one of those moods...Umm, thank you for the feedback but I really could give a damn. I do this for me and no one else. If you can't decipher the intent of the post due to the typos don't read. I am not getting paid to do this, it’s for fun, and no...I don't proofread nor do I have anyone else waste their time proofing my posts (not articles) either. So buy a vowel, and get a life. But thanks for stopping by! *smiles*Oh, but I will change lost to loss...I never noticed the misuse of the word...but I will take that edit into consideration. *shoots bird*
I just want to know why waste your time with the “constructive” criticism. I post my “articles” and keep it moving. If I notice a mistake when I re-visit a particular post, I will make corrections at that time. I do realize that I do not always post using correct grammar…and sometimes that’s my point. I post in my err’day vernacular. What makes my azz itch is the fact that said user is anonymous. Why does it seem that all of the blogger shit talkers are always anonymous users? Hmmm. *scratches head*. If I were to make an observation such as this, I would at least sign in with my blogger user name. LOL. Okay, just wanted to vent. Thanks for listening.

Congratulations Serena!
An unseeded Serena Williams wins 8th Slam Title. I was so excited when I read the news at 3 am CST. I know that the critics were hoping that she and Venus both were past their primes. Serena went into the open ranked #81. I believe that when the Williams sisters play with heart, mind, body, and soul…they are their only competition. I started playing tennis at 12, and I immediately feel in love with the sport. Yes, we had trailblazers such as Arthur Ashe, Althea Gibson, and Zena Garrison, however, Serena and Venus have changed the game. It is a faster more powerful game, and it is beginning to have more color and personality. Congratulations Serena, this win is much deserved.

Wit Yo Nasty Azz!
This is an actual interoffice email sent by HR earlier this month:
Bathroom Etiquette 101
Be Tidy: No one wants to navigate around your mess. Yes, there are usually janitors, but a.) it’s rude to make them pick up your stinky tp, and b.) until they come in, your co-workers are forced to use a bathroom that is filthy. Throw away your paper towels and tp, flush until clear and wipe up excess water on the countertops. Assume our biggest customer will be the next person to use the stall and sink.
Be Sanitary:You know what's worse than seeing some stranger in a public bathroom leave without washing their hands? Seeing somebody you work with do the same. Please wash your hands!
Starting Monday a spray air deodorizer will be in each bathroom, please use it!
The restroom is not the place for personal calls or conversations about coworkers.
This is real talk! I work with some nasty azz women for sure. I heard that the menz room is just as bad. The President of the company requested that this email go out. Apparently it was more direct than this, but the VP thought it should be toned down. I really wish she would have kept the courtesy flush or drop flush (which ever you perfer line), those older women be killing us with their issues. MAN!

Prince - The Art of Musicology
I am in love with this man. I don’t know what it is about him, but just looking at him makes me weak in the knees. And that voice…low register, high register it does not matter *fanning myself fiercely*. I love me some Prince! Since I can remember, yes, I wanted to grow up to marry Michael Jackson (only because he was not at all threatening, lol), but I have always been infatuated with Prince. He’s beautiful, the man is prettier than me (and I don’t like pretty boys), yet, I think he just might be one of the sexiest men ever to walk this earth. He is a musical genius, I love his style, his funk, and his swagger…and the man has a sense of humor! Yes, I must admit I miss the freak nasty Purple one, but hey…I will take him however, I can get him. I really am trying to get to Vegas now, I need to see Prince live in concert in my lifetime…this is truly a must!
I cannot tell you how many times I watched “The Art of Musicology” when it first aired. Loves it! I know it’s a long clip, but I could not resist posting when I came across it. 4 min and 37 sec into the clip he begins playing an acoustic version of “Sweet Thing”…hot! I can go on and on, when it comes to Prince…so let me stop now. Enjoy!

Go Bears Go!
Right until kick off, I was rooting for the Saints. I mean how could I not. They are the feel good story of the hour. But then my Texas boys came ready to play. I'm talking about former Longhorns Nathan Vasher and Cedric Benson. It just did not feel right rooting against them, and about 2 mins into the game, but heart was saying Go Bears Go. Not too mention that coach Lovie Smith, who is a native Texan, is about to make history...the first black coach to be into the Super Bowl.
Yes! History has been made. Not one but 2 Black coaches going head to head in the Superbowl! Congratulations to Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy!

Sweet Tea
Now, we love our sweet tea in the south, but this is a little too much. I don't care if you are from the N.O. or what...but there is no reason what-so-ever a dude should be able to pop it like that. WOW!
*widens eyes in shock*
Is this how we repay those who came before us. Someone once said that youtube will be the downfall of the black youth...I think they might have been right on the money with that one. *smh*

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today is officially MLK day, however, I think we should strive to honor those who came before us everyday. Without their sacrifices, my life as I know it, would not be possible.
Dr. King, I thank you for having a dream!
