Remember Lil’ Chubby Countess Vaughn from the UPN’s Moesha & The Parkers?
(Can you really call the UPN a TV network with the shows they produced & aired)

Well you know she was putting those royalty checks away for a good use. (not to mention that Celevrity Fit Club appearance money…like she really wanted to lose weight naturally, we all knew better) She got lots of surgery because she wasn’t down with the “Monique Big Girls” look.
I’ve got a few of her pics that she’s recently started to circulate and take a look at her now after:

• Breast Implants
• Butt Implants or Lifts
• Liposuction
• I haven’t confirmed if she’s had facework done but it looks like there was some
• Last but not least… finally a decent weave (Look…No Track Marks!!)

Leave some comments & let me know your thoughts…is it working for her or not.
(I don’t know if its working for her but damn sure seems to be workin for me, lol )

Also I wanted to give a quick shout out to my young dude from redhook that just joined the bloglist!
Tune in tomorrow as I comment on JayZ.

Are kids today safer?

I think so. I believe that we were used as guinea pigs to make the kids today safe.
Think about it… it was due to our broken bones, pain & suffering use of the playground equipment that kids have it good today.

So ponder on this will ya:

When did playgrounds go from metal to plastic?

Was it after the 300,000th kid got a concussion from running into a metal slide?

Speaking of Slides…What’s wrong with metal?

Metal slides after sitting in the sun’s hot rays all day and absorbing enough solar radiation to make their surfaces around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit could easily boil the skin right off a kid. Now that was FUN!

When did sand & gravel stones get replaced with wood chips & rubber foam?

Maybe it was because people were tired of losing toys that their kids buried in the abyss called sand. Wasn’t there something satisfying about the resounding thud you made when you catapulted off of some playground equipment, flew through the air, and slammed into the sand hard enough to knock the wind out of you. Picking yourself up and brushing off the sand from the front of you and spitting out the sand from the mouthful you inhaled? Wasn’t it fun still playing with the sand from the playground when you got home from the sand in your shoes, grains of sand in your underwear, and a fine layer on your teeth?
Was it after people got tired of seeing gravel stones stuck to their kids face leaving beautiful marks after a nice fall?

Remember the Merry go Round:

Remember your friends would keep spinning you and not letting you off until you passed out.
I know it wasn’t just me who wanted to puke after being on this creation from hell  ride after 20 minutes.

And what about all the fun I had trying to  launch myself into space from the swings:

Sure I saw a few skulls cracked open, but it was fun.
You want to know where the MTV show JackAss came from, back then it was just called playing.
And when you came into the house bloody and broken crying; your parents said, “that’s what you get JackAss”.

Kids today will never have that super fun experience.

We could skip one, two, and even three bars with blinding speed. You never tried to skip four or you would hit your head when your arms were stretched parallel to the ground. We would even run across the tops (not for the faint hearted) but woe unto the child who slipped and forgot to dive to the side. Not only did he rack his goods on the bar but then plummets six feet to the ground usually head first.

The first time I saw a friend cry uncontrollably was my boy Juan after falling off of the monkey bars and fracturing his arm.
I saw him later that evening with his arm in a cast & he was enjoying having folks sign his cast. Monkey Bars were the gift that kept on giving.

Safe equals No Fun.

So I was at a club the other week…

A young lady walked up to me and said she loved my swag and asked if she could put her number in my celly.
At this point I would usually say beat it, go kick rocks….
but she was in a skin tight dress with Triple DDD’s.

So I said what the hell, I could see her as a Stunna I can hit a hot club with from time to time.

It became obvious after day #3 that she was way too into me.

Can you PLEASE explain how you can call someone this many times in just 10 days?

I know the Big Daddy Swagger is unbelievable… but Damn!

As you can see Mike Lowrey doesn’t play that & all her calls go to my voicemail.

My next blog post is straight nutz, so check back for it soon or look out for the email.

Here’s a short poem for you:

As we look at Halloween in the rear;
We know that today Thanksgiving is finally here.
And when mighty meals are prepared for us to all feast;
With Yams, turkey, ham, greens, and rolls made from yeast,
We surround ourselves with everyone we hold  so dear.

We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We’re wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you’ve got;
Realize that it’s a lot,
And you’ll make all your cares go away.

So today I pull a chilled bottle out from my private stock…

…and raise my glass to a toast, “that you & your families have a safe & Happy Thanksgiving.”

Amira is off from school this entire week for Thanksgiving and she was a bit happy about it.
She wrote a note, so no one would forget on the message board in the house.
She tried her best to write whoo hoo or something similar…lol

Being that I’m seeing more of these types of issues this may become a weekly post topic.

Here I was at burger joint (Whataburger) and I see this:
300M with the door wide open.

Sorry BBerry Phone pic its a bit grainy.

Obviously the folks that were inside were too drunk to realize that no one closed the door.
When you’re tipsy I know you want to get your grub on (what do you think I was doing at the same joint at 2:30am) as soon as possible but that’s just ridiculous.If this was Harlem (or the South Bronx) it would have been a wrap for this dude’s ride.

By the way 2:30am in TX is the equivalent of 4:30am NYC time, clubs close at 2am here so we have to drink twice as fast to get buzzed by 2.

Can someone tell me why would anyone’s mother would name a child David McDavid?
It must have been some hell of an ass whoopin’ that boy got all through his school years for that one.

Was it because he was too dumb to learn another name so to make it easy he has the same first & lastname?

Why am I always dressed in a hot suit you ask?

I guess it was the way I was raised.
Even back in the day when I was two, I was doin’ the damn thing!

Yeah this is a classic pic of me & my dad from my archives,
so enjoy….then Holla at your Daddy!
(don’t get out of pocket…you better have my money when I see you).

This pic was taken in my Grandmother’s living room in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, damn those were the days, lol.
Columbia Street stand up & much love.

So the Brooklyn girl Muriel is having her 40th Bday in a few weeks so I figured it was just about time I looked through my picture archive & seeif I had any previous Muriel Bday pics and found a few.

Back a few years ago a girl I know introduced me to a hot little spot on Fulton in downtown Bklyn so I took Muriel.
It was a pretty cool  spot until the “Man” purchased the lot, closed the club, tore down the club then constructed a 40 floor luxury condo.

Now here’s Muriel & LaGina chillin at the spot with me, it was fun until Muriel got crazy tipsy within 5 minutes of being at the club and wanted to go home!

Muriel was kicking it to a guy I like to call “Scarface”

and Gina was kicking it to a guy I call “The Broke Allen Iverson”.
(Seriously a sweat band..? Gina you could do better girl!)

I love the past…don’t you. But seriously why would any woman talk to these two losers, Lol!

I didn’t head over to an election watch party and decided to stay home & watch the results. I did make a stop at the store for some treats for the night.

If that wasn’t enough I felt the need for mimosas

A Black President…wow! 2Pac would be soooooo proud!

Throw your O’s in the air baby…

For Halloween my daughter’s school has a celebration called “Trunk or Treat”.
I guess this is a southern thing where everyone packs into the parking lot and decorate their trunks all spooky and hand out candy.
Don’t you dare drive your little mini cooper up in there, were talking big trunks only (I can say that now that I have one, Yay!)
Its easier than going from house to house since houses aren’t always close together to have everyone in a central spot to get candy while parents are near by so the kids can go all crazy and run around.

As I was waiting for my daughter to get over the “shakes”coming off of her sugar high I came across this little guy:
Either this is the cutest dog ever or Adam Conn (a.k.a thickcrust) has the best Halloween costume I’ve ever seen!!!

Being from NY I was used to Time Warner Cable but apparently they don’t give a damn about TX.
They had some weird Motorola set boxes that were just horrible. Plus the bundle price was about $150 a month for TV, Phone & Inet.

So I jumped ship, & went to the Dark Side (I sure wish I was back in NY where I could just simply get my box zapped for 100 bucks and get all cable channels for free)

The boxes are newer and the service isn’t bad plus the bundle is only $109 for all 3. I get a bunch of channels plus a bunch of extra movie channels. No HD, but I only watch sports every now & then so it isn’t major but I could always add it for 10 bucks. The plus side of it is I now have 4 tuners so I can record 4 channels at once, any show I record from the main box can be viewed from any of the other 4 tv’s and I can get my telephone history, view my online flicker albums all from a tv channel.

Today we write history, we as a nation will elect
an African American to hold the most powerful job in the world.

In short….”There’s a new Sheriff in town!”

Today we walk with pride as we look towards the future and yet never forgetting the horrific past we have had to endure and overcome. My father isn’t alive today but I’m sure he loves what’s about to happen.

I know that as the results become official we will both have to tears in our eyes underneath our signature shades. Today is for you Dad. And even though he died when I was 3, I spent years looking at pictures of him in the military & reading his letters. He wrote of something called Black Pride. That even though we come from the toughest of places and and the most unlikely of circumstances and against what seems to be insurmountable odds…we can do the right things and become someone great.

I checked this box not only for myself, but also for my Dad.

America has a long road ahead; having to unite our people, to rebuild our economy and having to end our wars. But tonight we celebrate the first step of a long journey that is leading us in the right direction.

I’m trying to find an Election watch party but this isn’t NY and I’m having a hard time finding a decent one. Either way I’ll have bottles of Bubbly and will be toasted tonight. I do wish I could be in Harlem tonight to celebrate, lol.

Roz & Precious please hold Harlem down till I can get out there.
