Day 26 Stan Reporting

So here is a clip from Que's mix tape. Yes, Que's not Day 26's. I know that they are no longer a quintet and that Que has been putting out videos on YouTube explaining his side of the story. He only wanted "new management." We've heard it all before, but I knew it was going down a long time ago when Will was promoting his mixtape and Brian shouting out his record label.

Why cain't ninjas just stay together and sang? They actually has talent and a few hot songs. Oh yeah this is the age of get money quick and it's all about gimmicks and "swag." Bump talent. Them boys ain't have a chance.

Well a snippet from Que's diss to Day 26 is below and I've gotta admit I may be singing the chorus in my head to the haters in my life.





Also, Will's new video is below for your viewing pleasure. It is a laugh fest. Enjoy.

Wife vs. Wifey


So a Facebook friend posted an Essence link listing 9 reasons why being the 'wife' Is better than being the 'wifey." I am in total agreement. I've never understood the pride in wearing the "wifey" title. It always seemed just as stupid as being the "main squeeze." Both terms mean second best, not good enough, unofficial, you get the point.

The term only magnifies the lack of respect for the sanctity of marriage and unrest in finding true love and/or the unwillingness to actually put work and/or effort into a lasting relationship. People try to cover it up by saying marriage is just a piece of paper but so is a college degree, a paycheck or a deed to a house, right? Wrong! If a marriage license is "just" a piece of paper, then why don't you "just" get one? Cause it takes WORK and RESOURCES (i.e. finances you know that thing that is so near a dear to your heart). Maybe not necessarily money as in paper stacks, but possessions, space, independence. We all work to obtain a certain level of comfort and independence and in marriage you have to share that with someone else. With the wifey she only gets what the dude is willing to give. This also applies to time, affection and understanding.

And I've always been an all or nothing type of girl. I, sir am, eh will be a "Mrs." I ain't playing house and that's what a wifey does essentially, play house. I'm not saying that I don't work at relationships or do anything that in any way relates to being a good wife for a guy I'm serious about. I cook and I'll pick up the dry cleaning if I'll walking by the cleaners, but I don't feel obligated like I would if I were his wife. I'd do those things cause I want to. I ain't going to be doin all that for "free" for lack of better word.

My grandma was just talking about how once you get married a man will want you to do things on his time like cleaning. I clean when I feel like it now and if I don't feel like cooking I eat ice cream or go for pizza. If I had a husband and especially a family it would no longer be about me and only me.

I'm not a wife yet for a reason. I believe that God is preparing me for someone great and in the process I am becoming a true Proverbs 31 woman. Whatever I am becoming is too good to be some man's option, second best, backup plan, "wifey."

Number 7 on the list is the truth and sums it up best.


“I would want to constantly be a better man for my wife. Wifey just needs to accept who I am.” —Reese Jackson, 28

Fashion Mystery : The Case of Rihanna’s Vanishing Clothes


So on my afternoon blog stroll, I cam across a post on http://www.thefashionbombdaily/ that was along the lines of my earlier blog post about Dawn taking risque photos. Click the link for the Fashion Bomb Post and my two cents.

Dawn: Another One Bites the Dust



So my bestest frenemy in my head is losing her mind. Taking your clothes off is a desperate cry for attention especially on social networking websites (I know I am contributing to the problem by posting it, but eh). Dawn, you're better than this. I understand the need to feel sexy and fishing for compliments, I'm a woman too. I've had to stop from posting photos a few Facebook photos because my intentions were not pure. I either wanted to make someone jealous or get a few "you sexy ma's" but I stopped myself cause I knew I would regret it, plus people see right through it.



Homegirl you've got a great shape and I'm rooting for you cause you're supposed to be different. Don't be like the rest of em, "when all else fails, sell your body" chicks. You've got to do better. Focus on you're music and don't let your ambition to be a celebrity take over YOU.

"Some say love is all that I'm missing. Some call it Jezebel, I call it attention. But what they don't know, they can't even imagine. Say I don't have no self-esteem? But it's my passion. Maybe, I'm just a Bad Girl." - Bad Girl by Danity Kane
