Already Starting Off Lame!!

Last night I was watching that Grammys special and I was really disappointed with a lot of it. First of all, why do you even need a Grammy special? I could have lived without most of those performances. I also have a big problem with some of the nominations. I think Alicia Keys should have gotten way more than she did. Not because I’m a stan (which I am, so what!!) but because her album is that good. Lil Wayne got the most which is cool, I guess, but I don’t think his album is all that great. It’s nice to see the Grammys ‘getting with it’, but besides the fact that he sold a crazy amount of albums, I don’t see what’s so great about his album. Hmm

I really don’t know how the Grammys come up with their nominations so I wont even harp on that. I was VERY happy to see that Adele, Duffy and Sara Bareilles received a few nominations. They are my favorites! I’m also really happy for Rihanna! Now that brings me to another problem. Everyone knows I’m also a Jay-Z stan, but how in the world did he get all of those nominations. Most were for Swagga Like Us with T.I. so I get it. But why is he still taking credit for that? So many questions. Oh, and Mariah (I stan for her too) got robbed!!!!

I’m Beyond Happy!!!!!!!!!!

I love the news today. There was a 50/50 chance that I would wake up today hating the news all day long, but I love the news today! I went to sleep last night with a huge smile on my face and today I woke up the same way. It feels great! I haven’t smiled like this in about 8 years! LOL. That’s all I have to say about that! I know everyone is blogging about the Presidential election so there is no need for me to do that, but I just wanted to type how happy I am. I’m so happy that my vote (along with millions of others) really did make a difference. It’s such an amazing feeling. I feel like I can take over the world!!! OK, maybe not. But I do feel like certain things will improve in my life because of what happened at 11p last night. Despite some people trying to take away my joy, I’m happy!

Forget Halloween!!!

I can’t believe how many scary movies have been on the past few days. Every time I check my listings there is another scary movie on. Funny thing about that is that it never occurred to me that Halloween is Friday. I was wondering why there were so many scary movies on but I didn’t even think about it being the week of Halloween. That just goes to show you how much I don’t care about these holidays. I find it so funny that people always wait until October to start watching those crazy movies. Is it a way to get you in the Halloween spirit? I guess people do the same thing with Christmas. I always know when Christmas is near because there are always so many Christmas movies on. I guess whatever works for you. I’ll be spending my Halloween at home watching normal television shows and listening to normal music! I don’t think the kiddies will be stopping by here for candy.

Thanksgiving Is On Them

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next month. I’m really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year because we’re not supposed to be having a big gathering. I know most people look forward to having a huge gathering but I’m so relieved that we’re not doing that this year. My family has been having so many dinner parties all year long and they’re such a huge hassle. You would think that the guests would contribute a little more than they do, but that’s not the case with my family. When it comes to family gatherings and food my family is very inconsiderate.

Usually when Thanksgiving is being hosted at our house everything falls on us. We have to buy the food, cook the food and do all of the cleaning. It would be nice if everyone in the family bought a dish of food, condiments, beverages, paper plates & forks or something. Or in the least, offer to help clean up. If they did that it would be nice to have a big gathering. But my family shows up empty-handed and leaves with a sweet potato pie and enough food for two days. That is not fair!! So this year Thanksgiving is on them!
