RONDA OFFLINE

Okay while "this lovely person" was messaging me I'm doing my "research" looking at pics seeing what she been up to and what i realized is that Ronda was recently married.. so now im thinking "why u not calling/facebooking your husband?? and if you got a wifi/internet service why u aint calling your momma either??? and further more I'm just smarter then this all around and I KNOW FOR A FACT RONDA IS TOO!!!
...This lovely person clearly has no idea who I am..and I don't mean in the literal frame.I talking about he/she has no idea im educated and i watch Oprah! u dimwit!! this could have not been any stupider (probably not even a word but thats how i feel).
Gees can't even trust your "friends" on facebook... what's next?!?!?! a phone call disguised by my BFF's voice?!!?!?!?
Is there anymore truth in the world. Or do i need to remove "friends" from my page if I havent spoken to u within the last 12 weeks.

And im REALLY Sorry if Ronda is really stunk in London..i will do everything in my power to help but next time we going to have to do this thing on WEB CAM!!!

KNTV SEX ???

So being home in the day time has opened my eyes to day time television which is even WORST then after 5 TV. I thought Sally Jessie Rachael, old school Ricki Lake and repeats of Jerry Springer were the pit of the day but sadly there are even worst! One time I saw this show where they show embarrassing illnesses and people go into the GP (doctor) to get them checked out. I was flipping through the channels and ran across the show one day and actually say the doctor put his finger up the women’s butt!!!! I don’t think this is abnormal because sometimes that’s what u got to do when u become a doctor; what I think is abnormal is it actually being shown on TV!!! OMG! Nasty I actually saw her booty hole. Ugh my stomach as turned reliving the moment. Anyway. Back to morning TV.. I was up and came across this TV show called KNTV SEX. First of all, it was odd because it’s 10:30am and why is anything coming on that says SEX (ain’t this suppose to be late night under the sheets talk?!?!?!) . So of course, curiosity kills the cat and I have to turn to it. I pretty much stare in amazement because it’s basically a cartoon.. Not basically, it is a cartoon. And this particular one I watch talked about masturbation… ooooohhh wait a minute.. cartoons talking about masturbation.. I’m just not sure about! They question people on the street regarding their first experience with masturbation; wet dreams etc… I felt ashamed to watch it but it was clearly tailored towards children because there were questions that I hear on a daily bases at work.. it was odd and I thought it was a one off… yeah no… I watched it again the next day..This time it was about contraception…it was pretty funny one time when a girl asked a question about her boyfriend. She said she was always arguing with him and wanted to make it better so she thought about having a baby and would stop taking her birth control. One advisor told her yeah go for it that should bring them closer and the other one said no of course and gave her reasons why not... great information and it is good for children to hear it from someone other than their unknowledgeable friends and parents but I do think there is a boundary but I’m not sure where that line should be drawn…the show is pretty entertaining and interesting BUT I’m not sure if this is for kids..To say Britain is open and liberal is an understatement.. it continues to shock me day in and day out.. you got to check out the videos..

….and not that this pic has anything to do with what I’m chatting about LOL…BUT it’s one of the many sites I say when I was at CARNIVAL in LONDON 09..

What I want for Christmas!

Again I have let myself fall behind on my blogging:(. Got to get it together, So here is my first step lol.. I have SOOOO many pics to put up so every now and then I’ll just post one “just because”. This past week has been absolutely crazy. I’ve had shows in London Fashion Week, went to Paris for the day, been a tourist guide, and an stimulating ententertainer lol. I’m pooped!!
I must say though one of the best events during London Fashion Week was Vodafone’s 360 launch. In my opinion it was another event where I was basically paid to look pretty and party (hey it’s what I do). Anyway, little did the Vodafone people know was that I was in my element! TECHYWORLD… While I was here I met a really cool guy who made me realize I was a GEEK (not a nerd cause they are uncool LOL) I thought it was quite normal that I hacked my iPhone, carry 3 separate phones, have a watch that plays 10 movies or so, carry a NIKON D40 for the hell of it, and really understand the meaning of web and walk. Well, he quickly confirmed that I actually wasn’t normal for a girl and I need to begin to use this to my advantage.
OurManInside.com had the coolest gadgets ever! I wanted everything he pulled out of his goody bag. I been dying to get my hands on some extra equipment for my camera ie; lens, flashes, and reflectors/lights. He had the best lens that will definitely be on my Christmas/birthday list this year along with the MIFI.. Check out this link for the pic. This handy dandy gadget will be the best!!! I don’t think I can wait till Christmas for this one. It’s quite simple what this dodad can do and I can't believe I'm just now hearing about it..I feel lightyears behind. It’s basically a WIFI connection that can fit in your purse/backpocket. As I said before, I went to Paris for a day last week and this would have been SOOO useful. I didn’t have a signal at all while I was there so I had to configure my iPhone to become a hotspot then use another phone to check emails etc which didn’t happen because I didn’t have my 3 phone. Anyway, had I had this badboy I could have pooped a sim in and had a WIFI connection on my iPhone everywhere we went.

“ Dear God,
Please land this on my front door…I will use it for good:)
PS can you add the lens as well...LOVE YA
Thank you
-your favorite”

The biggest food fight in the world!!!!! La Tomatina 2009

I rerouted my entire schedule, cancelled some jobs, just to go to this event.. I've literally been waiting for 2 yrs to go to this and finally I'm able to check off an activity on my to-do list... Wohooooo
Very anticipated event for me and thousands others! Buynol tomato fight.. THE BIGGEST FOOD fight in the world!!! I think it started back in 1944 by two guys that were rebelling against authority… now it’s a reason to get drunk, give someone a black eye with a tomato and then the person smile about it! (and neither I did I don’t think lol)
I must admit after I heard the first horn I was thinking “I don't think this was a good idea!” I wanted to run for the high heavens and say screw this I'm taking my ball and I'm going home but of course I stuck it out and it was the best ever.. Having any excuse to cream the guy next to you with a tomato and deliberately chuck food across the way to hit someone was the best. A place were a black eye is expected.. NICE. Just a few tips that I didn't read on a blog to share with ya.

GIVE UP on getting the HAM... Okay so the tradition is that the fight starts after a guy (or girl) gets a Ham from the top of a 10ft pole. Well watching dudes attempt to get the ham from the pole is one of the most frustrating activities. It's like watching a bad movie you can't look away from. I literally watched people for an hour and a half fight each other, bite, kick, push, punch, and step on each other’s face to ATTEMPT to get to the top of a super lathered soapy pole..anyhow.. They NEVER got the ham!

No need to shower the day before.. It's a waste of time water and soap.. However it's very courteous to do so.. Train rides are packed and full of drunk people from the night b4. We got there at the butt crack of dawn so many never made it home (literally we left about 6am).

Don't drink the night before... Those were the ones that was pulling to the side @ 7am the morning needing to upchuck. Just think about it like this; standing for HOURS (my legs STILL hurt), heat that feels like entry to hell, and now you have to go fight.. Good luck with that.. My dear friend did start breakfast though with 3 cans of beer for breakfast just because they were €1.. Got to live it.

Wear swim gear! Goggles, swim suits, swim cap:) the whole kit and caboodle.
One of the things I wish I would have done was wear a swim suit under my clothes that way i can just take clothes off and rinse in swim suit.. But it wasn't horrible.. There were soo many times that I had to stop and find a clean spot on my shirt to wipe my eyes... Didn't last long though LOL.. After about 20mins I had no clean spots.
Check out the video and it's clear I was not playing around with my hair! lol I opted for just a tight plastic bag and not a shower cap or a swim cap because it fit tighter.. SMARTEST thing i did.. Granted I was a target because everybody tried to take it off but once I balled my fist they realized a black chick and her hair wasn’t to play with.. I'm so happy i wasn’t one of the ones that had to visit the shower two and three times to get chucks of embedded tomato out. OH and the smell!!!! it's like it never goes away.. Wash good!! When u think it's gone it's not!

No flip flips.. U will lose them..and of course wear stuff you can throw away immediately. I carried a draw string bag that I didn't mind losing.. In the bag was another plastic bag with a change of clothes.. This saved my life LOL.. After the fight we went and washed off in a horrible nasty river that I'm sure I caught something from. Then I was able to toss those and put my clean ones on.. Best thing ever!!! The smell of tomatoes, B.O, and heat does not mix!

Get a waterproof disposal camera. There were several people that used their digital camera with a plastic sleeve around it... Not sure how those are going to come out lol..
I actually caught quite a lot of footage however I was fighting so hard I pushed the delete button and erased my before shots:( all good though..hopefully my cheap disposal (that wasn't waterproof) comes out half decent LOL

Eat the street food; it's the BEST!! There's something about getting the fattiest piece of bacon on a baguette from a one eyed Spanish cowboy with finger nails longer than mine and occasionally breaks out in full song. I'm sure there was salmonella just under his finger nails but what the heck.. Any reason not to go to work LOL

BEFORE..Check out the video for the after!!

GET TESTED!


Pic of the Week!!
Here in London its pretty funny how liberal they are..Not quite sure if liberal is the word.. maybe its just open..lol.. When I use to work as a drug and alcohol counselor there was a glamorized pamphlet that we would give out to clients. Large bold letters across the front said COCAINE and it had a mirror effect on the front and back. The whole point of the mirror on the pamphlet was so the client would be able to snort off of it. Sad I know!
Anyhow, I had a meeting today in a child protection office and this is what was posted on the wall. Oh there were many others but this was the funnest. I find it very forward to say the least lol..
HEY GET TESTED!!!
Oh how could I forget.... as soon as i got back from America early this month, I had a package waiting on me. Very odd because I didn't order anything. Anyway, I opened the box and there is a urine cup inside. I freaked, I didn't know what the heck was going on. I read the paper attached and apparently I fell in an age range that the local authority were testing for chlamydia and wanted to make sure everyone was tested. They even told me if i pissed in the cup and sent it back in the mail I had the chance to win a WII!! What the hell?!?!?!?!!?
The fact that my piss was going to be shipped in the mailbox was a little freaky!
Just go to the clinic!! its free anyway! but I guess this works for those who are shy/ashamed LOL

DaniJ the photographer has a come up..wohooo

Most of you know photography is only a hobby for me but, most of you also know whatever I do I tend to do it big ;)..This time round, I landed myself with this company as a photographer doing fairly large events..So yesterday I did the Lloyd banks concert. It was definitely a cool event; great networking and I finally heard sounds in London that I knew...(whole other story LOL) My pics are cool but I now want them to be soooo much better, especially since I'm moving forward in this field.. which means more investments LOL. First step.. external flash. So now I’m looking for that "I can get you anything" guy. Everyone knows who I’m talking bout; you know that guy that can get you steaks and a flat screen.. well I need the SB 600 LOL.. I'll settle for the SB 400 but I REALLY want the SB 600.. anyhow, I’m also lookin out for some lessons so if any body knows a guy that knows a guy, get at me:) I'm trying to rid myself of my token phrase of “jack of all and masters of none”..LOL..especially before I pick up something else like ice hockey..


I have no clue who this dude was but he was pretty good... and he twittered on stage...got to love it.

Daniel's Family Reunion!!!!

FINALLY, a moment to write. I’ve been back from home now for about a week and unfortunately I’m homesick:( cant sleep and ready to go somewhere again… and I’m not one to get homesick!... but this time its’ probably cause the beau was home and loads of family members I’ve never seen before.. Plus didn’t have loads of time to hang out with the best friend either. Anyhow, seeing the family was great. I was dreading going in the beginning cause I didn’t want to pay that $800 ticket but in the end it was well worth the money. The whole point of me going was for my mother’s side of the family to have their very first family reunion. I can say it was lovely and well put together. I was able to see family I have NEVER seen before and those that are only a vivid of my imagination. I’m very grateful to have a family of this caliber. I’ve also realized how much of a role model I am without realizing it. It’s quite an empowering and overwhelming feeling at the same time. I also took this opportunity to try to figure out my family history. Beginning so close to Africa, I’ve wanted to trace my family line back to it’s tribe and visit the “motherland”. So while at the family reunion I figured somebody would be able to point me in the right direction…. WELL they directed me in the right direction however; not the direction that I thought!. My grandmother explained that both of her parents were Native Americans; Black foot and Black Crow. This was apparent when all my family came around LOL.. My father then told me in the same sentence that his mother’s mother was full Cherokee Indian. All I could think was, How come no one decided to tell me this when I was in college.. I could at least got a book paid for!!!! I would have join a reservation for that.. LOL But it was interesting to see my characteristic in other people. I won’t even mention the side jokes the cousins had about “weave” matching everyone else’s hair LOL!!! Anyhow, this merited for a PERFECT time to bring out the great o camera……..
There is NOTHING like family:)
