Apparently I wasn’t the only one who wanted to know about Bernie Mac! I got 437 views that day - my best day ever - Wow!! But still no subscriptions. You people are amazing. He even beat out my Halle Berry post and my best ever–Beyonce falling!!
I’m just telling it like it T-I-Tiz!!!
Nope. The title eludes to Bernie Mac being deceased b/c last night I got a Text stating his death as a fact! Yes. While painting the town red last night, a girlfriend of mine (who forewent painting) bothered herself to send me a text stating that Bernie Mac, the comedian and entertainer from Ocean’s 11 and other well-known films has “died”! I immediately sought sympathy from my surrounding friends who were out painting with me. No one wanted to believe it but, my friend said she got the info. from CNN’s own Nancy Grace that he was hospitalized earlier and now he was “dead”. I felt bad and then someone said something interesting…. “Did you Google it?”
I hadn’t thought to Google even though I held the latest of technologies in the palm of my hand. Why should I? I had taken my girlfriend’s words for truth. I’d known her for years to be a gossip, but I was sure she wouldn’t say…”dead” unless she herself had confirmed it. Much to my dismay I already felt that feeling in the pit of my stomach coming on stronger than ever…Was I? passing on an untrue rumor? This was the perfect set-up to just be flat out wrong. Now, I had to hope that the words that were coming out of my mouth were true (sorry Bernie) but, I didn’t want to be part of the gossip chain. I don’t mind stating facts and my opinion on them but to spread a rumor that just isn’t true…well, that’s not me.
Lo and behold…She ONLY had it 1/2 right. Not ONLY is Bernie Mac NOT dead…he was hospitalized for pneumonia and is recovering according to his publicist who had to release a statement in order to dispel the rumor that had quickly spread to the masses! Where did it come from who knows and who cares? I’m ashamed that I was one of the ones who just should’ve kept their mouths shut!!!
Sometimes I even have to tell myself like it T-I-tiiz!!
That’s right the wizard himself is back and here’s the trailer to prove it:
I don’t agree with them keeping everyone in suspsense with the Coming: Sometime this year!?? What kind of crap is that? Does that mean before December 31, 2008? or by July 2009? This just ain’t right.
I’m just Tellin’ it like it T-I-Tiz!!
Lookin' better than ever???
Don’t get mad at me…I‘m just Tellin’ it Like it T-I-Tiz!!!!
I absolutely love it!!– Once I got used to it that is. Let’s face it people hate change and you just might hate the NEW image loader if you’re use to the old one. I hated switching from PC to Mac I still don’t get as much productivity out of my Mac as I probably should. Why? Because I hate change!! It’s killing me to figure out every little nuance.
What was I talking about?
Oh yeah, The image uploader’s gallery feature is awesome. Not having to go back and forth after uploading each picture and putting in captions at the same time not only saves time but makes more sense. I do however wish that I didn’t have to reopen the window after “inserting image into post”! That sucks. It should insert and allow me to insert others if I want.
Damnit!! I guess I just have to get use to it!
NOT IF YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS ARE!!
THE PROBLEM: With gas prices soaring, Americans are looking for a way around paying at the pump!!
THE ANSWER: According to auto manufacturers’ response, the answer is Sexy plug-in hybrid cars!
THE PROBLEM: Nobody knows what the hell they are!! Unless, you are tech saavy when someone mentions “plug-in hybrids” you don’t automatically think cars. Once explained, questions still remain.
Did you know they get better gas mileage?
One article describes the situation well!!
MY RESPONSE: Something is seriously wrong when when we can’t find solutions to our biggest problems!!!
Don’t get mad at me, I’m just tellin’ it like it T-I-Tiz!!!
These commercials are hilarious and really show us Require ‘Brain’ really takes us back and shows us just how far we’ve come. Compare to today’s commercials.
These are great. Humor and Computers just go together!
Tellin’ it like it T-I-Tiz!!!
THE NEWS: Teens (and in some cases adult men) are the target of a new crack down!! The “Pull your pants up law O.K. It’s not really CALLED that read on and you’ll get my drift. There is even a cartoon I’m assuming for those offenders who are too young to read (or just can’t) to prevent the CRIMINAL OFFENSE!!!
THE ISSUE: Sagging pants are a fashion trend in the hip-hop world and have been around for quite some time.
Extreme sagging! or lowriding
THE PROBLEM: Some powers that be see this trend as indecency and a threat to the world as they know it.
THE HISTORY: Historically, it is thought that sagging pants began as a reflection of prison culture. Belts were confiscated upon entry into the home-away-from-home and men were left with sagging dungarees. Gang members began to emulate this style in protest or possibly in homage to their incarcerated brothers (who knows) or maybe they were just too lazy to pull them up. Whatever the case may be, this fashion statement caught on and has been around since the early 90’s according to Wikipedia.
THE CONTROVERSY: The trend, started by African-Americans, is said to be yet another case of “racial profiling.” The American Civil Liberties Union has spoken out against the practice of targeting these individuals b/c it will most likely target young Black males.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
Absolutely nothing if you don’t care, don’t have children interested in music. Young people of all races, especially those that embrace the hip-hop culture OR rap, also seem to embrace this hip-hop fashion statement. In fact, the fashion trend is as rampant and growing as the hip-hop community. Yes, the trend may have started out as a “Black Thing” but let’s just say it’s no longer isolated to one group or another. This means that your children may be committing a criminal act before they leave the house!
THE IRONY: Law makers may have to arrest their own teens or young adults.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE MATTER: My first thought when I read the article in Newsweek Magazine was that this was a joke. Then I read further… It’s not that I AGREE with this fashion faux pas, but I don’t disagree either. Not only is this a slippery slope but, who cares? Aren’t there bigger fish to fry? If you don’t like it don’t look!! If it offends you as a storeowner post a sign similar to the “NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE” and call it a day. Making this a CRIMINAL offense is not only targeting a group of children it is also teaches them that we are hypocritical. Have you seen the red carpet lately? The front of a multitude of magazines? SKIN is in!!! Why are these more acceptable images:
If kids see this as a threat to their sense of “personal style” be careful and beware!! Our kids are much smarter and more resourceful than ever. This is a technology age and they might just get the idea to ban together! What will you do if they all decide to wear their clothes that way? Will you arrest them all? Close down schools?
Don’t get mad at me I’m just tellin’ it like it T-I-Tiz!!!
Candy Spelling
If I lost my home the results would be devastating. But, when celebrities lose their homes let’s just say…they downsize. Reported by Tmz.com, Candy spelling can no longer afford her over-the top-mansion. How will she ever get by? Slumming of course! She’ll sell her 150 million dollar home and make due with a $47 million dollar condo. Don’t believe it? read the article.
These people are crazy!!! I hope she doesn’t spend all her money in one place and be in the same boat as Ed McMahon!!! I’m sure she worked really hard for that money right? –that’s another story. Now why can’t she share some of the money with her daughter again? What was Aaron thinking that she’d be fair or was it really his intention to cut his daughter OFF!!? That’s just wrong.
I’m just tellin’ it like T-I-Tiz!!!!
ANOTHER STUPID REALITY SHOW???!!! –From G’s to Gents!!! When will we STOP being so obsessed with other people’s lives and live the life we’re given?
I’m just telling it like it T-i-tiz!!!
