Can't wait for this!!!

rent it!

He's a serial killer...killer. Keeps you on the edge of you seat and always guessing. I know its on CBS on Sunday nights now, but don't wait a whole week between each episode, rent the whole season and watch it all at once!

I've never liked Kool-aide. Not due to it's lack of nutritional content, snobbery, or the fact that REAL fruit juice tastes so much better, but for more psychological reasons.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I saw a movie called Jonestown. It told the story of Jim Jones ( not the BAAHHHLIN' one), crazed evangelical " guru" who convinced his "flock" of some 900 people to commit mass suicide. Their weapon of choice, Kool-aide.

Of course it was laced with cyanide, but I've steered clear of it ever since. All this to say, that recently, the blogosphere and several right-wing haterating talk show hosts, have drawn parallels to Barack Obama and Jim Jones.

Just because someone passes out at your campaign rally, does that automatically make you the second coming of a lunatic cult leader? No it doesn't. The man is just a gifted speaker, he moves people. Sometimes to tears, other times to cardiac arrest.

Don't mistake this post as an endorsement of any sort. Deonn has not yet made an official endorsement of any candidate ( unless Chuck Norris decides to throw his hat in the ring). I just don't like mudslinging, and there seems to be alot of that lately. He's got CHARISMA!!! and change, don't forget about the change.

Watch this!

I'm curious to see this. I never got to it on Broadway and I can't imagine anyone being able to do the role of Walter the way Sidney Poitier did it. It airs February 25th, after the Oscars.

What if I was white?

OK, I'm FULLY aware that it's Black History Month. I mean how can I forget, especially with those Dr. Cornel West promos airing on MTV every 6.45 seconds. The one where Ludacris gives his dissertation on black history is particularly hysterical ( Cuz I'm black ya'll). Anyhow, the point I'm trying to make is, lately I've been a little self-conscious about the way I talk. Ever since the "Deonn, you sound whiter than usual" comment was made, I made an effort to uhm, I guess "urbanize" my tone. Then I thought to myself what would W.E.B Dubois do? He would realize that the way he talks is a reflection of his intelligence not a measure of his blackness. So I felt better, but then Kanye West posted this link on his blog:

A majority of the things listed, are my everyday obsessions:

#39 Netflix
#44 Public Radio (Fresh Air is the effin truth yo!)
#43 Plays
#35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report
#54 Kitchen Gadgets (who doesn't love salad spinners?!)
#52 Sarah Silverman (Everyone loves Sarah Silverman, EVERYONE!!)
#48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops ( Weaver's Way, holla!)

So, am I white? AM I? or just republican?

Oprah says...

you should read this book. Now as a faithful Oprah disciple, I'm always a sucker for her book picks, but this one seems out of my realm of understanding. Supposedly the book is to lead you to the "aha! moment" in your life. Oprah is also "teaching" an online class about the book, helping people to find the root of their unhappiness and find the key to happiness. As a 20 something who's trying to find "myself" (I'm being mad unimaginative right now) I thought this was a great book at first glance. I was in the book store thinking to myself, introductions are always boring, it's gotta get more interesting. But it didn't, not to me at least. Not to discourage other lost 20 somethings from reading it, but it just isn't my bag, or maybe I need to go work on my maturity level. Oh well I've rabbled on enough.

Try It!!!

I dont know what it is. The hilarious anecdotes on the side of each bottle, the gem-like array of colors and flavors, or the fact that their just plain good for you! I adore Vitamin Water! I knew Kelly Clarkston and Fifty Cent weren't liars, those 16 0z. bottles of awesomness really should be tried as often as possible. I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake, for lent and these really do hit the spot. So try it!!

I don't feel like making dinner tonight...

Skip the takeout, save some money ( and some calories ) and make this at home instead. Stole it from Martha's Stewart.


Ingredients
Serves 4
2 slices whole-wheat bread, dried
1/3 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large egg white
4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
Lemon slices, for serving
Seasonal green salad


Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, combine bread, walnuts, and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Process until fine breadcrumbs form. Transfer to a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat egg white until frothy.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into egg white, letting excess drip off, and then into crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
In a large nonstick ovenproof skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn chicken over and put skillet in oven. Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
Serve chicken with lemon slices and green salad.

Funky!

Genius!

PHILADELPHIA -- Some kids get snow days. But students at one Philadelphia school got a chicken day Monday.
When workers arrived to open Northeast High School, they found 50 chickens running loose in the halls. District officials said the birds were apparently brought into the building sometime over the weekend and left a big mess behind.
The floors were covered with droppings and chicken feed. Most of the school's 3,600 students were sent home for the day because the school required extensive cleanup, a school official said.
Officials said there has to be an upset poultry farmer somewhere who wants his chickens back. For now, the birds are at the district's agricultural school. And school officials' feathers are more than a little ruffled.
They warn the person who committed the prank will face a fine that won't be chicken scratch.

Still Crankin it.

About a month ago, my niece tought me how to "Crank dat Souljah Boy." I was kinda nervous because, I thought I had completely missed the "Crank dat" bandwagon, So I was elated to discover that not only could I crank dat Souljah Boy, there was an infinite amount of things I could still crank to ( Forest Gump being one of my favorites). The Crank dat phenomenon is sweeping the nation, I even saw Regis Philbin crankin dat Souljah Boy on his show the other day.

You wanna battle me?

I was having a conversation with one of my friends the other day, and a very interesting question came up. Who would win in a fight, Chuck Norris or David Blaine? Now Blaine seems like the underdog in this scenario, but lets investigate this query a little further shall we.

Facts about Chuck Norris:

Chuck Norris doesn't read boks, he stares them down unitl he gets the information he wants.

Chuck Norris once destroyed The Periodic Table of Elements, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

Chuck Norris does not sleep, he waits.



Facts about David Blaine

David Blaine unfortunately never knew his biological father. Instead, his mother remarried to a banker named John Bukalo. Blaine later made him levitate in his sleep.

David Blaine can turn your orange soda into Cheeze Itz.

Micheal Jackson once stated, "David Blaine, your magic is real and I belive in you."

Ok so the facts speak for themselves, personally, my money is on Blaine, because he could conjure up a tornado and that would cancel out ANY roundhouse kick, that Chuck Norris could muster up.

GAME ON!!!

Ok, so I'm what you would call a casual gamer. I mean I don't own an XBOX or anything, but recently I discovered ROCK BAND. It's like someone took the awesomeness of kareoke and merged it with Guitar Hero!

It's so great, even moms love it!!!!!

Can't wait for this!!!

Illest Mommy magazine on the market. Helpful without being too pretentious. And the best part is that the recipes and activities are realistic. I mean, I'm not a mother, but I've been around enough to know that no one has time to prepare an eight course meal AND make roses out of construction paper. The keep it simple, and we likes that!
