Dating???

It has been almost 5 years since I've been in a real relationship. So now I'm asking the question, am I REALLY ready to date.

I've been dealing with this question for the last year or two. I see couples all around me (it's truly the devil) my office mate has a budding relationship, an associate of mine is in a long-term relationship, granted I don't really believe in the relationship or think it's healthy but either way she's in one. See all the relationships bloom around me makes me feel like I'm really ready to move on, but I often wonder if I'm emotionally ready to be in a relationship. How do I know that I won't screw it up by holding onto past heartaches? To be quite honest with you, that is my biggest fear. I've seen it happen often enough; people rush into relationships only to screw it up because they weren't emotionally ready to move on. I've always felt like I wouldn't do that but then again, you never know.

I still don't think I'm actually sure about the type of guy that I want. As my friends and I sit around and discuss our "divine being" I start to realize I have NO idea who this person is. I mean I know the basics; he's tall, handsome, friendly, caring, self-motivated and most importantly FAMILY ORIENTED. That's a big one for me. I love being social with friends and family, and I couldn't imagine being with someone who wasn't.

What else?

I dunno, I guess I'm just scared but I do think that I'm ready to at least date... hopefully, I'll meet someone promising soon.

How long will the Ga Ga goo goo last?

And, yes. I am talking about Lady Ga Ga. Let’s be real, it can’t be healthy (mentally) for someone to be their alter ego 24/7. No, I’m not a real Lady Ga Ga fan; her music is catchy but…. It’s just not me. I could be in denial but… No.

It’s like every time I see a picture of her she is always “on”, with the leotard, or the tea cup, and ALWAYS with the wig. I commend her for keeping it up for so long but really, how much longer can this really last? So far she maybe coming up on a year, but will she make it to year-two or will she switch up to a new look. Or maybe that’s the look that everyone is going for and she’s the only one who can rock it so well.

Whoa!!!

Did I just figure out everyone’s fascination with her?

….need a moment to think about it….

Still not interested in the music , like another “singer” we all know and love to watch… wait! Her album was nice but her live singing sucks!

Either way if she can keep this up for the length of her career, without becoming B.J.S or stripping down to the real Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, I’d be surprised.

Rhianna this, Rhianna That!?

sooo... over the course of 24hrs Rhianna went from being a heterosexual to a lesbian back to a heterosexual. When does it all end? Can't the girl get a break?

I know that there's no such thing as bad publicity but after awhile doesn't stuff like this mess with your saturation in the public eye. Let me rephrase that, don't you think that after a while people will get sick of seeing or hearing about you? Think Lindsay Lohan. Now don't get it twisted I love me some Lindsay (prior to the weight issue, and even in despite of) she's a pretty girl, and "drinking and drug use" (in quotes cuz I ain't never hung out with her to know the truth) aside she seems like a really cool chick. But unfortunately for her she can't get a job to save her life because people are sick of her. bloggers went from being in love with her to trashing her every chance they get, especially my friend Perez. Trust and believe that the day will come when he will bash Rhianna just to bash her. I think 50 [cent] said it best when he said "[sometimes] the public builds up entertainers just to tear them down for entertainment purposes" which is very sad.

Who she is dating is really none of our business, although I’d love to see what she wears on her dates, LOL. I, like many, only follow Rhianna’s “career” because I love the way her stylist dresses her. She always looks so edgy but feminine at the same time. Good look.

Can’t wait to see what she wears tomorrow.

To watch or not to watch (what's the F-ing point!!!

So today I decided to read Pazsaz (an entertainment site listing cancelled TV shows), because I wanted to know the status of NBC's new show Kings. Well, (not) to my surprise; Kings has been cancelled. Scrolling down... well, just because I felt like it, I've learned that CBS has cancelled Swingtown. Which leads me to a very serious question, why the hell do we watch TV? and are TV stations ran by people with ADD?

It's seems like season after season, a new show comes out and before the end of the season it's cancelled, with many shows being cancelled before the end of the season. Just when you've accepted a show into your nightly schedule of TV watching, it's gone. So what's the point? Life as a TV show producer/creator must really suck!

Take Lipstick Jungle for instance, I'm sure Candace Bushnell and co., because, I can't... Darren King, that's his name Darren King.. Candace Bushnell and Darren King probably celebrated in their offices thinking "Yes, we've resurrected the Sex & the City-esque TV show" after the show's first "successful" season only to learn two/three episodes into the second season that the show would be cancelled. They must deal with a yo-yo set of emotions that would rival that of a schizophrenic. "Great show today, critics love it.. audiences hated it.. sorry. Don't forget your free (put broadcasting network name here) t-shirt and complimentary mug". Could you imagine handling your personal monthly budget? You couldn't.

That's why I've made the mentally sound decision to.. dare I say, give up TV. I can't take it anymore, I'm starting to go crazy. There are other worthwhile things I could be doing with my time. Not sure what they are yet, but I'm damn sure going to find something.

She is soooo smart!!!

So this morning I’m watching headline news, waiting for my mom, and they’re talking about Haleigh Cummings. Now if you don’t know Haliehg Cummings is a five year old girl, who went missing about two weeks ago, from her FL home.

The particular show that I was watching is called Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell and during the course of the show they discuss different “issues” going on in the world. Of course in typical HLN style she has a “panel of experts, witnesses, etc.,” who help her discuss the issues, adding their opinions, knowledge or just anything that comes to mind for them. At times, it’s a very interesting show, but NOT TODAY!!

So I’m watching the show, because I’m trying to find out if they have anymore details about this missing girl, when the conversation turns to the father’s previous offenses. Then, this lady…., the host, WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER, starts calling him a snitch (informant). I’m like “chick, have you lost your mind!!!” you don’t go calling someone a snitch on NATIONAL TELEVISION!!!! She basically put his life and everyone associated with him in danger, all for the sake of what!?… Ratings, publicity, news… ARE PEOPLE THAT STREET DUMB!!!

Look! I am by no means a supporter of the Stop Snitching campaign; But to call out a snitch on NATIONAL TELEVISION!?

THAT’S JUST DUMB!!!!

Yeah, I know some people think that criminals are stupid or lazy or whatever; but don’t get it twisted some CRIMINALS of that sort ARE DANGEROUS!! They’ll kill your whole family and think NOTHING of it. In just one line, she managed to endanger a house/community full of people, not to mention poor Haleigh.

Then they wonder why police officers don’t release information to the media, because for some reason reporters become so consumed with “the truth” and “the public’s right to know” that they don’t use COMMON SENSE!!!

Lesson number one for reporters: DON’T OUT SNITCHES ON PUBLIC FORUMS... they’re called Confident Informants for a reason.

No Love, Noemi

Why da hell!?

Can someone please explain to my why Shawty Lo is dropping another album?

Was his first ALBUM that hot?

Did anyone even know he had a WHOLE ALBUM?

Why are record labels wasting money doing whole albums for fools who are only capable of doing single sales?

I know I can't be the only one pondering these questions, I mean really. Instead of going after people who are downloading or bootlegging they need to take a better look at the quality of material some of these artist put out(I need to stop listening to 50, I’m starting to sound like him). No offense to Shawty Lo (even though I’m sure he's already taken plenty) but he had two singles which were hot, in that ghetto-fabulous sort of way, but he doesn’t need a whole album.

And please don’t even get me started on the Bootsie or whatever his name is.

Please people Stop the M-A-D-D-Ness!!! (To all my JWU peeps: Yeah, I’m still using it.)

Chris Brown...Problem Child???

So now everyone and their momma wants to dog Chris Brown. I'm not gonna do it, the boy (yes, I said boy) is young and (now don't tell anyone I said this) HUMAN!!! He made an OBVIOUS MISTAKE. Why is everyone acting like he killed her? Yeah, unfortunately, I saw the picture. Now granted, if it was my sister that he “beat” like that, I’d be ready to fight; but when it’s all said and done, I would have to move on for my sister’s sake.

Everybody is so gun-ho about stating their opinions and who their supporting that they forget sometimes the best support is the silent kind. The last thing that Chris or Rihanna need is people constantly talking about what happened? And what went wrong? (Like anyone other then them and God, really knows).

Leave them alone!!!

BTW, am I the only one that’s seriously disappointed in MTV for their “news special” on the subject? I mean really, the whole show was contrived of “expert” opinions and “sources”. ARE YOU SERIOUS MTV? I’ve lost so much respect for that network, it’s ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong I do feel that it’s important for women (and men) to understand their worth and to realize that it is not o.k. for ANYONE (male or female) to abuse you, pointblank!! But forgive me if I don’t think that, that was the real reason behind them airing that “special”. The issue there was ratings plain and simple!! If the show was about abuse in relationships, it would have had more information on everyday couples facing the issue and their “experts” would have spoke more on the issue itself and less on Chrihanna.

This whole situation has left a bad taste in my mouth, not for Chris Brown but for the media, and their way of handling this. Look at TMZ, they sold out Rihanna’s privacy for $62K. Really!? That cheap!?
And I hope that the person at the LAPD who is responsible for the leak, never finds out just how much of a B*&^h Karma can be. Yeah, you got $62k but what are you gonna lose for that money, other than respect?

Oh! And stop asking celebrities their opinion on this private matter. That’s like someone asking your neighbor, their opinion, on how you cooked your pot roast. Who gives a rat’s behind? They don’t have to eat it, so it really doesn’t matter how they feel. Same can be said for the celebrities, they aren’t in the relationship so gives a rat’s behind on how they feel about it. Keep It Moving!!

And to the bloggers who posted the photo, regardless of the statement you made before or after you posted it, SHAME ON YOU. It doesn’t matter what statement you made when you posted it, the fact that you posted it, makes you no different from TMZ.

To Rihanna and Chris, may God guide you in this situation to make the best decision for YOU!! Buck the world and DO YOU!!!
