"Celebrities"

Lovely people,

I apologize for my lack of updating this blog for you all. I have been super busy with life. (LOL)

Hmm...so...what should this entry be about?

Oh! I know. How about the urban tabloid's favorites women (used loosely in some cases)!

Each day, more and more "regular" women (loosely) are rising up into the public eye. They become household names and "idols," and for what? Do they sing? No. Do they act? No. Do they dance? Well, it depends what kind of dance we're speaking of. But let's say, No. So with that said, why are their pictures being heavily sought after by the press? It is a question, with an array of answers.

Examples of these "celebrities:"

-Kim Kardashian (well now we can count Koutney and Khloe)
-The Hilton Sisters

and just recently,

-Amber Rose!

What talents do these girls possess?

Is having money considered a "talent" nowadays?

Well, in the case of Amber Rose, is being bald with an incredible physique considered a "talent?"

It must be, in this generation, because they are featured in almost every "celebrity" sight with actors, singers, athletes, and so on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's focus on Amber Rose for a second. Recently, she attended the MTV Awards with Kanye West (the one we can say is responsible for her rise to fame). We all saw what Kanye did during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. Some of us thought it was wrong, some of us didn't see anything wrong with it. Whatever the case may be, does Amber Rose have the "right" to express her views on the matter? Would that be considered "biting the finger of the one who feeds you?" We can all agree that if it was not for Kanye, she probably would not be a "celebrity" at this moment, right? As far as I know, she hasn't spoken on the incident, well, I have never heard the girl speak at all, like ever.

I really do wonder though. Are we supposed to let our partner do as he pleases, even if it may embarrass us, just because he's the breadwinner and the reason behind our success?

Hmmm...

SKIN.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Came up on my Snowflake (IPod), thought I'd share since it's exactly how I feel.

[Dedicated to two people]

Just go to YOUTUBE or IMEEM if you want to follow along ... "Skin" by Alexz Johnson


I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise

Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all


Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been

Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
My tears you'll taste

Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie


I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be okay
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
And When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine

Oh, he's under my skin
Just Give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I've got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie
