Sunday Afternoon Randomness

Why the hell do little kids love to hear themselves scream? I was leaving my house one day last week and my older cousin, her son, and two neighborhood kids were on the stoop. The girls started singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" very softly and then...

Girls: Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what....you.... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!!!!!

Me: *head go 'splody*


I have my mother's last name which is Jewish but even if I had taken my father's last name it would still have been Jewish.


If my celebrity crushes were animals, I would have a turtle, two camels and a buff-ass bunny (I REFUSE to refer to him as a gorilla! We got enough bogus white people doing that already).


I'm addicted to feeling like a normal woman.


I would SO shave my head like Miss Tanzania but I have no idea how my head is shaped and whether it would look ok.


I really miss having purple hair.


They say if wishes and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Why just a Merry Christmas? Not Valentine's Day? Easter? Flag Day? I thought candy and nuts could be enjoyed at any time!

Since Moo & Oink's mascots are a cow and a pig does that promote animal cannabalism? How do they feel about selling out their species to humans?

Amusement Park, Indeed

Curtis James Jackson III is so damn fine and sexy to me! Yes, I'm actually talking about his face, too! He's my lil' gangsta bunny. *smiles* And yes, he could get it.



All day



Every day



Anytime



Anywhere



Any damn position



In broad daylight



Bathed in candlelight



In a fitted



In a doo-rag



Even with a vest on




So, yes with him I would surely play
In his amusement park every night and day!

Title says it all...

We can get a McMansion and have a kid or two. In 8 years, when you are starting to show your age and not able to drop the pregnancy weight, I will run off with my secretary. She will be dumb as a lamppost but will have a great rack. In the meantime, you can drive a mini-SUV (I'm thinking Acura, BMW if you can cook)and sit on your ass all day while calling yourself a "stay-at-home" mom.

Visitation rights must be guaranteed, pre-nup required (it won't make you rich, but will ensure that you can continue to sit on your ass all day).

Seeking the Asian mindset - 50

I'm a slim, handsome, healthy SWM in my 50s. I've a grey hair or two, but look to be about 42.

I have an education, a solid career and a lifelong appreciation of the arts.

I'm looking for a woman, late 30s or older, displaying the common sensible approach to selecting their significant other which I've often observed and admired amongst Asians (both men and women). [WTH?!? -- RNV]

Seeking a partner based on kindness and character, along with physical appearance, makes a world of sense to me.

I'm astounded by ads I've read of women seeking men based on their looking like "rockers", having tattoos,liking certain bars or bands or having a penchant for sarcasm.

I'll be happy to answer questions, send my picture and generally present my persona.

Looking for a female use some cash; and wouldn't mind the company of a nice person. I am an easy going guy, attractive and fun looking to pay cash for a regular massage. No hidden agenda here. I could use the company of a non professional female who could use some financial assistance. I would like to do this on a regular basis.


If you are a student, or part time person this would probably work well for you. Hopefully, I don't get flagged.


If you send me a one-liner - stating send me a picture; or how much. Your email will be deleted. I am looking for an intelligent, decent person; not someone who is just curious, wants to me mean, or is just wasting people's time.

I am a very tall handsome white professional male who seeks a special relationship with a very special female who desires to be treated like a little girl by a fatherly type figure. Frequently I am nothing more then a listener or interviewer while you relive your past or speak a private fantasy.

I don't smoke, I am a light drinker and I don't use drugs. I love to talk, laugh and enjoy the friendship and the special affection two people can provide one another. I don’t find pleasure in pain but I am not above giving a good spanking if my “daughter” needs one.

All shapes, sizes, ages and races are welcome to reply. If you need a “Daddy” type to take care of your special needs then let's talk, exchange photos and get to know each other.

It is your choice: phone, email or IM... see how easy I am :)

This Type of Shit Happens Everyday

Let me kick this off by saying that I am a beautiful woman. No, not in that "every woman is beautiful in her own way" way, but actually beautiful. No, I'm not posting a pic on here so you'll just have to take my word for it! *sticks out tongue* Description: 5'4, 140 pounds, caramel skin, brown almond-shaped eyes, short dark brown hair and an old-school Coke bottle figure. Nice, right? Yeah, I know. *winks*



Anyway, I've never really had a shortage of guys approaching me but lately I seem to be attracting a new breed: the old man at the club/pimp/wannabe pimp/use to be pimp/man seeking to relive his glory days/trying to get a glory day in the first damn place.


Last week I walked into a lil cooked food joint on Commercial Ave., placed my order, and sat down. A few minutes later, in walks an old guy in his 60's or 70's, gray hair and all. He sits opposite of me, which for some reason highly annoyed me. Maybe I knew what was coming.


Me: *texting on my cell phone*

Him: What? You calling me on my phone?

Me: *thinking* Here we fuckin' go A-DAMN-GAIN!

*speaking with a weak smile, trying to be polite* What?

Him: I see you messing with your phone and I was asking you if you were calling me. *smiles*

Me: *with that same damn smile*: Oh! Heh. No.

*notices that he has on cheap ass snow boots in 70 degree weather*

*tries to contain laughter*

Him: So....what? Are you playing a game on your phone?

Me: No. I'm texting someone. (Coco, Ninja, Blk Grl, La Negra Linda....this is the moment that I texted y'all)

Him: Texting? Woooooow! My phone can't do all that!

Me: *thinking* You are NOT going to try and mack to me by letting me know just how technolgically behind you are.
*sighs internally. DEEPLY.*
*speaking* Well, some people just need their phone just for calls.

*silence*

Him: I--

Me: *sees the person waving me over for my food*

*thinking* Oh, thank GOD!!

*damn near runs to the counter*

*grabs food and leaves*


Dude might have been harmless but there was no way that he was getting my number or anything else from me! He was giving off a child molester vibe for some reason. Maybe it was because I'm so much younger than him and the phone thing.

What he said: What are you doing? Texting? Wooooow! My phone can't do all thaaaaaaaaat!

What I heard: My phone can't do that but if you show me how to use it I'll give you all the candy you waaaaant! Heh heh heh. *winks*

Maybe it's just me.

Yesterday I went to McDonald's to pick up something and almost as soon as I walked in I notice this tall and fat guy. I'm not talking about the kind of fat that some people wear well and they look really good. Oh, no. My boy Kevin is that type. Dude was NOT. I mean, his belly was so big, it looked distended! Dude looked about 8 months pregnant with TWINS! At least his tittays weren't bigger than mine. I think. *shudders* I think he was probably in his late 30's to 40's. His was not a good look AT ALL!

Him: Girl, what, you tryna--tr-try-tryna be a model?

Me: *thinking* ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!! W.T.F?!?

*speaking*(highly annoyed but polite): No.

Him: 'Cause you sure are looking (?) today!

Me: Heh.

McD's employee: Can I help you?

Me: *gives the order*

Him: (something indecipherable)

Him AND McD's employee: *speaks at the same time*

Me (to the employee): I'm sorry. How much was that again?

Him: You tryna brang (?), huh?

Employee: *quotes price*

*He leaves*

Me (relieved): Thank you.


I mean, damn! I know I was lookin' gooder than cooked food and all (high and mighty fro, turquois clingy shirt, with TASTEFUL sequins SPARSELY USED, tight blue jeans, big earrings, and white gym shoes), but go away! Like I told my boy Coco, maybe I reminded him of an ex or a former lover or something. He damn sure looked old enough to have been a teenager/young adult in the 70's. Maybe he has a Pam Grier fetish. Yo no se y no me importa (I don't know and it's not important to me).


I have one more story. The guy I'm about to mention isn't old, per se but he was at least in his 30's. People may say that black don't crack, but from the looks of these guys, it damn sure can chip, peel, tarnish, and get weater-beaten! Ok, so I went to CVS Pharmacy to pick up some pop (you know....soda?) and I was on my way to the counter when some peon (heh.) tried to get at me. He actually kinda looked like Akon. Ewl.


Him: What's up beautiful?

Me (listlessly): Hey.

Him: Can I talk to you and get to know you?

Me: *not even looking back*: I have a boyfriend. (La mierda del toro! I'm as single as they come!)

Him: You might, but I can be your MAN!

Me: *mutters* Oy!

Him (from two aisles down): Can I tell you a story?!?

Me: No!

Him: Can I tell you a story?!?

Me (rapidly): IsaidNO!!

*walks to the checkout*

Him (about 2 fucking feet away): You are very beautiful.

Me: *not looking up* Thank you--

*sees who it is*
*sneers*
*pays for my stuff*
*tries to duck and dodge his ass like I'm in a damn war so he won't know where I'm going*


And y'all wonder why my ass isn't all up and down my neighborhood? I don't feel like hearing that shit! Even if I have my headphones on people still try to get at me. I never get approached by the clean, sexy, attractive, intelligent, non gangbanging, funny males or females. Oh, no....I get all the other ones! The ones that look like they should be on "Maury" disputing a paternity claim. The ones that have dirt under their nails although they got off of work 4 hours prior to seeing me. The ones that say that they're a gang member but not a gangbanger. I know....fuckery, right? Yep.


Seeing as how the summer's about to start (although it feels like it is here anyway. Gotta love the Chi!), I'm guessing I should expect this kind of foolishness every time I go out, no matter what I'm wearing. UGH! I should be flattered, I guess, but to be honest it's really annoying most of the time because there hasn't been a person yet that I was able to say "yes" to.

Ah well. I bet that this is going to end up being a weekly post. PLEASE pull out your Pas-tah Kerney pwah-rayer cloths and pray that I will be blogging during the summer and not in jail for beating someone's ass or cussing them out!




You can look but not touch. Scratch that! As a matter of fact, you can't even look.

Reina Negra V

She's a Dancehall Queen For Life!

I love dancing. Salsa, Breakdancing, Riverdance, I love it all. I believe that if you can dance and do it well that you should do your thang no matter what heritage or race the dance "belongs" to.



However.....this shit right here? Pure-dee FUCK-ER-RY!



The young woman in the video is Hard Core J. She hails from Kobe, Japan and after being in Jamaica for a few years she fashioned herself to be a Dancehall Queen. She won a contest in 2003 and now teaches reggae dancing in several cites in Japan.

Three questions....

1. Who in the fuck was she competing against that others sucked more than she did?

2. Who in the hell are actually taking these classes?

3. Do they embarass themselves on the dance floor or are they considered the kings and queens because the others don't know any damn better?

I already have this song on my iPod but I saw the video for it for the first time in a LONG time about 10 minutes ago and damn near busted into tears! This not only is one of the best songs in the world, it's also one of the REALEST! How come we can't get the R&B and Rap female artists of today to do something like this? Oh...right...cause we'd have to put something in there about sex, being the baddest bitch, poppin' bottles in the club, beating bitches (and niggas) asses as well as shaking their own.


*deep and heavy siiiiigh* WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER! IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING, YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!!

This is a video of one of those radio broadcasts where people have to do stupid shit to get equally stupid shit. The stupid shit in question this time are backstage passes to the Larry the Cable Guy show. Yep, Mr. Git Er DONE! himself. The two women in the clip are (supposedly) mother and daughter. I'm not going to explain what they have to do for the tickets. Just watch. Might be NSFW...possibly.

To All The Females Using Their Babies For Negative Purposes

"Babies and sex were once more commonly used for income than they are now; women continue to receive money from welfare for having babies, and men sometimes act as prostitues to pry the money from them."

"Casual sex with as many women as possible, impregnating one or more, and getting them to have his baby brings a boy the ultimate in esteem from his peers and makes him a man. Casual sex is therefore fraught with social significance for the boy who has little or no hope of achieving financial stability and hence cannot see himself taking care of a family."

"The girl has her dream of a family and a home, of a good man who will provide for her and her children. The boy, knowing he cannot be that family man, because he has few job prospects, yet needing to have sex to achieve manhood in the eyes of his peer group, pretends to be the decent and good man and so persuades the girl to give him sex and perhaps a baby. He may then abandon her, and she realizes he was not the good man, after all, but rather a nothin' out to exploit her."

- Elijah Anderson, Code of the Street

Ladies, PLEASE remember this the next time you want to sleep with some dude up the block!

And yes, Kim Porter, that means you, too. Especially the quote below.

"A baby could in cold economic terms be considered an asset, which is without a doubt an important factor behind explotative sex and out-of-wedlock babies...."

WWW (The Wide World of Wikis)

Like many on the internet, I'm a HUGE fan of Wikipedia! It's just so addictive! I mean, I could look up something on....let's say...Lupe Fiasco and end up reading about Chinese cuisine and forgetting how I got to that point in the first place. Plus, it's always nice to be full of random, usless information.

Every now and then, I come across another interesting wiki or two so now I present to you my favorite (and soon to be favorite) wikis!

Wikocracy - Where ordinary, everday people can make changes to the laws that affect their lives. No, the laws don't actually hold any weight, but maybe it will get people to talking and some changes will be made.

The TV IV - Everything you wanted to know about your favorite television programs from characters to plot lines and everythang inbetween.

Uncyclopedia - Have you ever wanted to list the many reasons why Paris Hilton is a slut or who Evan Ross' real daddy is but couldn't because the stuffy folks at Wikipedia would take it down? Fear not, free thinkers, cause you can do all that and more at Uncyclopedia!

MemoryArchive - The events that shape our lives as individuals, as a country, and as citizens of the world as seen through the eyes of those who have been there. Very touching and powerful stuff!

wikiHow - How to do everything from ripping a phonebook in half to surviving an encounter with a croc or an alligator.

Muppet Wiki - Any and everything related to the late, great Jim Henson and his Muppets.

Wikiversity - A way to teach yourself all the things you should be taught. Very interesting.

Conservapedia - Ever wanted to know what Conservatives think about life and everything that goes on throughout it? Check Conservapedia out. *reads the section on Bisexuality, scoffs* Yeah, this should be REAL interesting! *rolls eyes*

*wipes forehead, stretches out fangas* Whoo! And that's not all of them! There's a Super Mario wiki out there but I can't remember the URL. Hope y'all enjoy!

Poor Kermie

*sighs* I knew that pank bitch Piggy was no good for you! That ho probably sitting up with Fozzie somewhere sanging "You Know I'm No Good" while getting nose-fucked by Gonzo! No, not this Gonzo, but this one.

The origin of my AIM screen name

Damn, I know it's been a min since I've updated but it seems like every single time I get a good topic lodged in my head it flies away before I can get it down. Well, that and the fact that my damn monitor went ker-plunk on me two weeks ago for almost a week and I had to come out of pocket to get a new one! *sigh* But anyway....

My AIM screen name is mixednotmixedup. A couple of people have asked me why I picked that name so....I decided to explain the reason right here.

To begin, let me lay out my racial makeup. I'm mostly Black (Af-Am, whatever you want to call it), but I am also part German, part Native American (Blackfoot, I'm told), and part Jewish. I guess because of this mixture I look like I am a Latina (Puerto Rican is what I hear the most). I'm not offended by that at all, but I've had people out-and-out TELL ME that I'm a Latina and that I'm just portraying myself to be black and that I need to stop being so fake. What the fuck?!? Like I'm really about to go to an all-black school in the middle of the fuckin' hood and pretend to be a race that I'm not. Fuckouttahere!

It also gets to me a bit when I see people trying to say that because a Black person is not "obviously black" that they have a better time in life. First of all, what is "obviously black"? There are tribes in Africa that dye their hair with red clay - are you going to tell them that they're not Black because their hair is red? Am I any less black because I choose to dye my hair a color other than black or brown on the regular?

The Black race has a multitude of skin tones ranging from the lightest white to the darkest black with AND without being mixed with any other race. Are you telling me that because I fall on the lighter side of the spectrum that I'm less Black than the next woman?

What about my hair? It's curly and wavy so I couldn't possibly be black, right? What the hell is "obviously black"? If someone said that it meant someone who is dark-skinned with kinky hair, big lips and a wide nose then some of you would probably say that that's very sterotypical. Well, if it's not that, then what is it?

Ok, so I don't look "obviously black" to most people. I've never felt like I was betraying my race by some of the things that I would and still do but some people around felt like I was. Why? For one, I don't really listen to a lot of the shit that urban radio plays. Honestly, I think a lot of it is fluff and bullshit. What do I listen to? Anything I damn well please, no matter what genre it is. Almost no genre is taboo to me and almost all genres are sacred. Whatever moves/touches/heals me, that's what I listen to.

Another reason is my hair. There are those who would've said that I was trying to assmilate myself into (with?) white culture by relaxing my hair and there are those would say that I am trying to do that now because I put a damn Miniglide to my hair. What these people don't understand is that no matter how beautiful natural hair is, sometimes you really don't feel like dealing with it. For me, it was a matter of managibility. Hell, sometimes it still is! Oh, and I also dye my hair on the regular. I was born a brunette but I have been a blonde (honey to platinum), a redhead (really dark red to blood) and I've dyed my hair purple. Shit, I would dye it blue if I wasn't about to look for a job!

And y'all might be interested to know that I would like to have eye contacts in different colors, including blue, green, and violet. Does all that mean that I'm trying to mold myself into the White idea of beauty? Does it mean that I'm trying to fit in with the Punks or Goths? Does it mean that I hate myself so fucking much that I'm willing to put things in my eyes and chemically "fuck up" my hair? Hell no! It just means that I like expressing myself through different ways. I like different things. When did THAT become the ultimate crime against Blackness?

*sigh* I actually didn't mean to go off on a rant, but this shit has been going on for YEARS. Everything from "I can see the tracks in your hair" to "You're being favored just because you're mom looks/is white" (she's biracial, just really light) to "You think you're all that because you're light-skinned" to getting strange looks because of what I listen to to feeling ashamed because I want to tell that certain someone how I feel through a song but I can't because it's not Rap or R&B (or Crunk&B or Snap&B). I haven't been through it all, but I've been through enough.

Oh, right. The origin of my name. I chose mixednotmixedup because my racial makeup is not in ANY way indicative of my mind state or my personality.

I know exactly who the fuck I am. Do YOU know who YOU are?

Reina Negra V

GAAAAAAAAWD is good, y'all!

Now, as y'all know, I live in Chicago but what you may not know that I don't have cable. If I don't have cable, then that means that I can't watch everyone's favorite pastor Pastor Kerney, right? Wrong! Thanks to the good folks at WJYS TV, I can get a nightly dose of Kerney! Since something really good happened a few minutes ago and I'm feeling generous, I'll share some of the wealth with y'all! Please, no need to thank me. The expressions of joy on your faces is enough for me. *smiles sweetly*



WHOOOOOOOOO!! Did y'all feel that? The goodness of this man just seeps out of this video. Favorite line: "I'm still in pain, Pasta (pronounced paaaaas-ta) Kerney!". I seriously want to thank Fresh for introducing me to this foolishness! Now I can't stop watching the man!

Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, I'm not saying that God can't heal people and that he doesn't send people to do his work but dude just seems mad wrong to me. Plus, I really don't think our Father would place our salvation in the hands of a man that sounds like he has religious Tourette's Syndrome!

On that note, I'm off to bed to dream about the one I luh....Lupe! lol
