Have you ever wanted to steal your friend's ipod because his/her playlist was your musical dream come true? Well before miShare, it was a complicated process to get songs, playlists & files off someone elses ipod. No computer or cable is needed. Just attach the two ipods to the mishare device start the transfer.

So cool!

T.J.I.F.

Thank Jeebus it's Friday!!!

I have been waiting for this day for 6 days.

Ask Coco, I kept thinking that "tomorrow is Friday" like all week.

I'm going to put on my dancing shoes and go to the SHUFFLE party tonight at Revival.

I feel the same way this guy feels (watch the vid) and I'm gonna steal some of his moves for tonight too!:

Pet peeve #1,056: When people say "no homo"

In the past year I have noticed people adding the words "No Homo" to sentences in a very nonchalant manner.

It seems as though this practice is really popular and might even be considered a trend. (This worries me) It's usage is comparable to the way Canadians use the word 'EH'...They are pretty much interchangable...watch this:

1. "Look at that guy's haircut. It's pretty dope EH?"
2. "Look at that guy's haircut. It's pretty dope. No Homo"

See what I mean? OMG...what is happening in the world? This is NOT ok.

So I consult the Urban dictionary, as I often do when I hear "the kids" say something that I don't get. LOL. and this is what it says:

1. NO HOMO: said after something potentially gay was said. or stating that something is not gay even though it sounds that way.

"I feel like eating some salted nuts...no homo."

"I'ma be all up in your ass...no homo."

"Paul and I had each other's back all the time...no homo."

This second definition was my favourite:

2. NO HOMO: An addendum to a possibly homosexual-sounding statement. Working as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, it allows the speaker to maintain his or her heterosexual reputation no matter how homosexual the previous or forthcoming statement.

"I'm coming out of the closet; I am gay, I have had gay sex numerous times, and I am moving to Massachusetts with my boyfriend to gave a gay marriage. No homo."

"No homo but i was just jacking off to some gay porn."


I remember the very first time someone said it to me. It was actually WRITTEN to me in a text message, so I KNOW I wasn't just hearing things. The person actually wrote: "Happy Valentines day...No lesbo" hahahaha I actually didn't get it and just thought that the person was probably homophobic and was torn between a) wanting to show me a kind gesture and b) not wanting me to mistake this gesture for some sort of romantic advance.

More and more I started noticing this "no homo" being said in regular conversations and in some rap songs. (Lil Wayne, Juelz Santana (Dipset))

The most recent example was a conversation between Lowe and a random dude in DC. The conversation went a little something like this:

Random dude: *points to his friend* "Ain't he quit a good lookin' fella? Do you think he's cute?"

Lowe: "Do YOU?"

Random dude: "I mean...that's my cousin. He's a good looking dude...No Homo"


In conclusion: Saying "No homo" is probably the gayest thing that I have ever heard. If you have to say "no homo" before or after a sentence then there is a good chance you have done other GAYish things prior to saying it. If you're worried that your friend is going to think you are GAY, then I'm pretty sure you're probably at least BI.

Seriously, the next time someone says it, I'm gonna snap. If you don't want me to punch you in the jejunem, don't say it around me. And kids...this is not cool no matter which rapper uses it. Just don't do it.

Random Sh*t

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a weakness for anything that's cute.

Babies, puppies, baby penguins, and the list goes on. Number one on the list is animals dressed up as other animals and the only thing better than that, is animals dressed up as humans.

As long as the animals are not being harmed, it's ok to dress them up and have a photoshoot.

Here are some of my faves:













I know you loved it as much as I did!

Don't even lie....

Song of the Week: Lions, Tigers & Bears (Jazmine Sullivan)

Lions, Tigers & Bears - Jazmine Sullivan

The other day, my friend asked me for advice on a new boy she likes. I gave her New Relationship Rule #1:Love freely...Don't bring baggage from past relationships into the new one. It will only start the relationship off with a bad foundation. Just because your last boyfriend cheated, doesn't mean all men do. Plus, you kinda look crazy when you accuse him of dumb shit just because you're afraid he'll hurt you like that last one did.

It's normal to be afraid to get hurt. When you trust someone with your heart and they don't care for it, it's hard to trust again. You learn from your mistakes and it's difficult to ignore what you've learned. But sometimes, it can backfire.

This song is for all those girls who are afraid to fall in love.


Lyrics:

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears (no I'm not)
But I'm scared of (loving you)
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair (that's right)
But I'm scared of (loving you)
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love,
When Love seems to hate us?

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom.
You say you care, and I know you do...
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense.
Just cause I love you, and you love me
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be.
I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas
But the most frightening you and me.

[Chorus]

Most circumstances, I know my fate
But in this love thang, I don't get the game.
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend.
Just cause I love you and you love me,
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be.
Fly cross the ocean, sing for the queen
But the most frightening thing is you and me.

[Chorus]

I'm sure though I'm not sure
But if we never try, We'll never know
It's better to have loved then not to loved at all.
Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall
And if we do, I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be sweet memories.
Oh I'm not scared...

[Chorus]
