em . in . i = don't talk to ...

I soooooooo know why you shouldn't idolize a person... you never EVER EVER know how a person got what they got or... if they really have what they have... yeah I had to hit you with my shallow reason first.... sorry for the craziness but I just read something on a blog that blew my mind about a person... It just really baffles me though about the whole "fan" phenomenon... like honestly there was one person that I could have even considered myself a " fan" of ...and of course I later realized that I was a horrible fan... which is besides the point... I finally go to see this person... and honestly... I was sooooooooo disappointed... it was like whatever super image I had bought into was revealed as just that... a super image... now I didn't sit down and talk to the person or anything ... but ... honestly I don't want to... and I am kinda sad that I actually fell into the "fan" thing... now I'm not a hater ... there are a lot of people I think are dope... and do dope things... and all that jazz... but I'm not impressed easily... hell some would say I'm not impressed at all... truth though... if I was impressed ... you wouldn't know...lol... I had to write even though this was not what I had planned... I was just bewildered if you must... You never really know how a person got on... I've always thought of myself as a person who was attracted to the people with no lime light... I'm the person who would end up sitting down next to a person in sweats ... while everyone else is ON the person who has on the shades and impeccably dressed ... only to find out that they hold the umbrella for the person I was sitting next to ... now the downer is I am not good at networking .... so even though we sat in peace for however long... I wouldn't have said a word... not just because I didn't know who they were... but because I don't talk to strangers lol!

OMG I'm at home... if you know me, you know I don't miss work... loyal... um not really... just anal...lol... I also never post about "it"people or events... However, I thought... I have to share my GRAMMY opinion... I started using the following saying in situations in which I would normally reply with some unkind remark ... and I feel it appropriately reflects the poor show of fashion and manners at this years show... not to mention the "drama".

"Some people make decisions.

Some people make bad decisions.

Some people make good decisions.

At the end of the day the point is

They made a decision. " - laQuin

The $1.2 million spent on decorating the Merrill Lynch office of John Thain has gripped everyone as yet another symbol of Wall Street’s disconnect from the values of everyone else. His termination from new owner, Bank of America, was clearly tied more to multibillion dollar losses at Merrill in the 4th quarter, seemingly ill-timed bonuses to Merrill employees prior to the closing of the deal with the Bank as well as a hefty dose of corporate political maneuvering.
