Testing the waters.

Hello, there. I know it has been years at this point since I have posted anything up here. I'm still alive, doing random stuff. Praying I don't end up on a website that people laugh at,then shun you in public for being on.
 What can I say? Life is ever changing, real and kind of in a strange state.

Well the QC has been a major change of pace🏃🏿 from Hampton/Newport News. It's been three years, I still get lost but it's getting better. When you relocate to a new area you tend to realize things about yourself.  You may even have a breakdown here and there.
Me being an  unique and akward person has made my attempt at dating ....I'm not even sure how to classify it. To be honest half the time I'm not even sure if I'm am dating. It's so confusing now. It's a a cruel test but we will come back to that one a later date
Do check back I will be posting more. My direction for the blog will be on my misadventures of life. Food, art, cool littl spots to kick it, digging into my career, my business, and pretty much my attempt at living a  full life

Making Moves

     I did it! Finally took a stepped out on faith and moved out of my Comfort Zone.
You can catch me in Charlotte NC now.

Charlotte's Sky Line at Night.


It's only been a couple of weeks, so far it's good. It is different from southern VA. This city is huge.
The next series of blogs will be about me getting settled in the Queen City.  Prayerfully it will expose me getting a new career position. Breaking into the social circle here. The night life seems to be pretty good, but I have to do farther investigation.

So stay tune for the good, the bad and Outstanding.

Cuffin Season is over

*UPDATE* My Apologies I thought Published this last month. Still Enjoy

"Dat ass in the gym. Squat life. Gotta show em love in the era of the Shot life. Dis is all from her mama Dis not knife."
That line right there. Is everything. The first time I heard it I was instantly amp. Yes it had a little to do wit the fact I was getting tired of the gym and winter was beating me down. After hearing that. I made it to the gym with a pep in my step right to take on  those Squats.  Though I still hate them I felt good know that even Fabo was noticing that there are still real women out there who don't take the easy way out.
After an incredible work out I was on a mission to get that tape.
 OH wait it's 2014 Nobody listens to cassette tapes and more. They  barely listen to CD's anymore. So where am I going to get a mix tape to download? I had to let that simmer for a while. Thanks to YouTube I was about to get my music mix tape fix.
About a month goes by then, BAM.  Thanks to my favorite Memphis Tenn Diva K. Michelle came out with Still No Fucks Given.
On Instagram one of her fans posted "where to get this Mix tape?"
Just download the app Mixtapes and then you can downloading Mix Tape"
What free99? and Yes I can do that.
And all my mix tapes are up here?* Treasures*.
"I know how a winter gut, turns into a summer butt" Fabolous's  line from Cuffin Season off  of his latest mixtape, Soul Tape 3. It is my second favorite line. The number one being, the first verse I drop at the start of this blog.


As a matter a fact how are you doing with your fitness goal for 2014? Are you still on it. If your kind of wavering like myself I got some tips on keeping you motivated. First and most important to me. Get you music playlist up. Yes we all have out classic songs that get us motivated. Christina Aguilera, "Fighter" is my dig deep song forever. But as a female tell me Beyonce's, "Flawless" doesn't do something for you?
My advice for you is to get that Mix tape app and update you play list with some new new none main stream  song.

*Hint Hint* Raheem Devaugh's King of Loveland mix tape--will have your toes curling and you calling cuddle buddy. It's Dangerous.

Catfish for Real?!!

Good day my blog lovers. How is 2014 going for you? Pretty good I hope. For most a little bit of the foolishness of 2013 is still trying drag some down. Any hoot.
 I don't know if you follow the phenomenal that swept MTV a couple years ago. First there was the movie

Catfish is a 2010 American documentary about a young man name Nev who was building a relationship with a young woman on the social network website Facebook. Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman  was a critical and commercial success, that inspired the MTV series Catfish: The TV Show 

Just in case you are not familiar with the term catfish here is the definition 

      I didn't become aware of the show until the second season. Boy is good though. Now while watching the show if you anything like me, you definitely start reflecting on all the time you have been Catfished. I am a product of a digital world and  have been online dating since I was 17 years old. It started with Collegeclub then on to Blackplanet, which went on to Myspace. Then on to Downelink, Facebook, and as of late POF. Don't judge me. The horror stories I have and I'm pretty sure you have some of  your own. For example one of the major tricks older Catfishes do, is using old pictures of when they were much younger and usual smaller. But I digress.
     Catfish the TV show is very extreme. It usually showcases people who are in a stable long-term, I'm talking years, relationship and have never actually met. Usually there isn't any real physical interaction, nor do they video chat. The way they communicate is through telephone calls, and social media such as Facebook.  The show is entertaining, but it is slightly unbelievable.
Who in their right minds would be in a relationship with another person that they haven't actually met. For years! In the end usually someone in the relationship is lying about who they are. Often there is fake online persona created  by one of the individuals involved in the relationship using someone else's pictures to portray themselves.
This is where a I have the hardest time believing  the show is real! I mean come on, who has time to put that much effort into faking it?  It hard to believe that people are that grimy to lie about who they are.

Side note:
 There must be quite a few because there is a season three coming this fall.

I told you a little bit about my Catfish experience. I have never experienced  out and out lying on the internet. That  was before last week.
A good friend of mine got Catfished!!! YES. Well in his case the person who is Catfishing is using his photo's from his Facebook page on a Tagged profile to hook ladies. Check this wild mess out!

 This is A CATFISH. If you look closely you can tell the face has been Cropped on!

Tony M.

 Now this guy is a Fake.
Tony M. Is a CATFISH. 





Below BuddhaIam Lifestylelubbing is the REAL person. Known this young man for years.

     This is my first true Catfish experience. My friend Buddha just laughed. He's kind of in disbelief about it. I haven't reached out to Tony M. on tagged. Do you think I should? I might just to see what drove him to doing this. This is crazy right.

     So what is the point of watching Catfish? (and the point of this blog)
Now from watching to the show you discover different tactics to find out if a person is a Catfish. You have to protect yourself. Here are a fews steps you can do.

           1. you can search the person's name or/and user name in a search engine such as Bing, Google or Yahoo
           2. Perform a reverse search the a telephone number.

Now the type of Catfishing Tony M. is doing is harder to trace because he stole body pictures.
I hope Nev and Max can give us more tips on protecting your identity on these social media site. Plus this should raise some alarms for you about how easily some can steal your photos. All it takes is a simple, right clicking and saving. HHHmm.O_o go ahead and try it
In this instance Tony M. is just standing out. Until next time.

 Live an Outstanding life. Peace 

To Twerk or Not to Twerk.

So I know the world heard about Juicy J's partnership with Worldstar HipHip to present the

 "Twerk  scholarship" contest. 

Well there is a winner! 

The Winner of the $50,000 scholarship contest is Zaire Holmes. 

She is a 19 year old single mother and a full-time college student.

Why is this so do I love this? 

Ms.Holmes did not shake a thing. Not on butt cheek. She didn't even do the Stankie leg.

What she did do is read the rules for the scholarship and submitted this video.

 I applaud you Juicy J. Not only did you cause a world wind focus on you because of the "Twerk scholarship", but you also taught a real lesson to the younger generation about reading and having some respect for yourself.

Also you exposed the world to the fact that quite often is over looked. 

Just because you're a hip-hop artist doesn't mean you're not smart yourself :) 

Here her submission video

  I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to seeing what other scholarships the Juicy J foundation comes out with.

In this case I would say Zaire Holmes and Juicy J are Outstanding not just Standing out

The Best Men Holiday

November 15, 2013. A day I've been long forward to because a sequel to one of my favorite movies The Best Man was opening in Theaters nation wide.

So because I'm that person, I'm going to give YOU my opinion on the movie: it was  Excellent.
 The story has heart, more than the last couple of movies I've seen in recent years. It was in-depth. The characters have grown and matured ....well some have.  The movie  picks up 15 years later from the 1st.. Just like in life there have been ups and downs. People have going married, divorced, and had children.

      Now if your not familiar with the story line from the 1st movie, there are mos def enough notes dropped to make you want to rent it, after seeing this movie. In the Best Man Holiday some old issues are actually dealt with in way I expect.  *Warning* This is a chick flick my dude. But thanks to Quentin (Terrence Howard) quick-witted character you won't be left without your share of laughter.

     Oh did I mention the fashion and styling in the movie was so on point. Jordan (Nia Long)suit in her opening scene.*snaps * to die for. Then the dress for the black and white party. Yesssss. ♥♡♥♡ Loved it. Also I have to say I loved the fact that the women did not outshine the men in wardrobe department. Lance (Morris Chestnut) in a plaid suit with the paisley tie?! Very different and daring. He pulled it off very well. Then Quentin (Howard) and all his scarfs. Mmmm so Posh and I'll say it sexy. 

    Ok I can go on-on about this movie, but I will try to tame myself a bit.Cause in all honesty I can't keep a secret and I don't want to tell you the story of the movie.

     Let's see in summary this is an adult movie. Great for date night and a trip to the Cinema-cafe. There is quite a bit of adult humor in addition to adult topics. So please leave the children at home. I'm not even sure about teens letting my  young teens go see this one w/o Auntie Reeta. 

 So I am a movie goer but I am also very thrifty. This movie is worthy the $ money, mulah, screalah scratch..yes I'm going to get it onces it comes out on dvd but I didn't feel robbed by going to the threater to see it. It is a little on the long side

Overall Excellent movie. Dare I say OutStanding :)  I leave you with the movie trailer. *shrug* Why not? Let me know what you thought of the movie or even your view points on this blog. Love, Struggle, and Always Peace.
