Tam's Rules for Living

I've been putting these bad boys in statuses all day, so I thought that maybe I'd share a few more in a note. (Thanks Maria!) Feel free to add a few! #817-Seeing a hairstyle in a book and getting an idea is fine...but be mindful that a Rihanna haircut on an Esther Rolle head ain't right. #71-If you can sing, then sing on. But do not say you're going to be "The Next Prince (Michael Jackson, Al Green, etc.)" #911-If the guy you're talking to is trying to convince you that his "baby's mama" is a bitch, ho, triflin, etc., don't always believe the hype... #318-Not going to college is fine. At least get your High School Diploma/GED. Bragging that high school "wasn't your thing" is not sexy. #100-Tattoos of your current gf/bf name isn't a good idea. #101-Tattoos of your current nickname ain't a good idea either. #877-Don't put "Worked at Pure Passion from 1997-2001" on your resume...unless you're auditi

Ignorance Ain't Bliss

Rick James said we need Unity... He also took said Unity ring and went upside Charlie Murphy's head. With that being said, that is the problem I have been facing the last few months. It is expected for me to behave as a lady (or tomboy with good sense...go figure) in the face of a negative situation. I'm supposed to look foolishness in the eye and throw it a peace sign. Yeah, well it ain't that simple. I am supposed to be the upstanding citizen and allow ignorant people to fester off in a corner somewhere. I'm supposed to move right along without hesitation and say "let that ass be an ass", but after a certain amount of time, that grows tiresome! I just want to cut a shine! Lately, I have been faced with countless situations where ignorance has reared it's ugly ass head. Each time, I am encouraged to turn my head. Currently, I'm without air conditioning. At the time of this rant, it has been four days since I made the service request and I have

A Quick Zinger

hillbilly farmer who wanted to get a divorce paid a visit to a lawyer. The lawyer said, 'How can I help you?' The farmer said, 'I want to get one of them dayvorces.' The lawyer said, 'Do you have any grounds?' The farmer said, 'Yes, I got 40 acres.' The lawyer said, 'No, No, you don't understand, Do you have a suit? The farmer said, 'Yes, I got a suit, I wears it to church on Sundays.' The lawyer said, 'No, no, I mean, do you have a case?' The farmer said, 'No, I ain't got a Case, but I got a John Deere. The lawyer said, 'No, I mean, do you have a grudge?' The farmer said,'Yes, I got a grudge, that's where I parks the John Deere.' The lawyer said, 'Does your wife beat you up or something?' The farmer said, 'No, we both get up at 4:30.' By now the lawyer is getting frustrated but tries one last question .The lawyer said, 'Is your wife a nagger?' The farmer said, 'No, she's

It Don't Look Good on You Boo-Boo

Right now, I am still in my happy state of being. However, the joy and happiness in my heart do not cloud my vision from the way things really are. Chris and I are doing fine, and I thank God that we are. It's just that in my state of perpetual joy, I came down from my Cloud to get a 10 piece dark and a biscuit and realized that there are so many miserable people in this city. This may not be a new discovery to people, and it damn sure ain't new to me. It's as if fokes lay in waiting until they sense your happiness then all of a sudden... GOTCHA BITCH! Me being the slightly cantankerous individual that I am, I expeditiously cut a shine on the bastard. Okay, so having haters is not a new phenomenon and I'm sure that they didn't stop producing haters when I got mine. It just amazes me how some people go out of their way to darken your doorway. When it became public that The Deacon and I were an item, a simple two line message on Facebook resurrected the inner s

It's Liberation, Baby

The very first line of this song says "I'm in heaven"... And I think that's where I have been for a good minute. Right now as I'm writing this, I can't stop thinking about him. I find myself thinking about him in one way or another at every turn. I'm not obsessed or anything, but I'm still getting accustomed to being like I am right now. I'm free...liberated even. (Can't worry bout what another nigga thank...) This is a feeling that is new to me. I am free to feel and be how I so desire. I don't have to keep the walls up anymore. I don't have to be afraid to reach out to him and I damn sure don't have to hold back anything I think or feel. To some, this has never been a problem. For me, it's easier to tell someone to go to hell than it is to tell them my feelings. I was a hardass. I mean, it had been safer to be that way than to be hurt. When I had Lex, the wall got higher and stronger because I didn't want my daughter to se

T.E.N. Entertainment News for 7/15/09

I ain't got much...so don't expect nothing rambunctious. FIRST of all, here is the link to Big Sue's page where she has the infamous, 1984 video of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial...the one where his hair gets burned. http://www.k97fm.com/pages .. /bigsue.html I seent it. It didn't look like the clip did on "The Jacksons: An American Dream" at all... Moving on... * Natalie Portman will be in the upcoming Thor movie playing a broad named Jane Foster. So far they have cast some dude named Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. I don't know who in the hell they are, but that may not be a bad thing. I just wonder why they can't get Gerard Butler to play Thor...or anyone in that damn movie for that matter. He could be anybody in Asgard and still get my attentions... Alas, I digress. *This is Wocka Flocka Flame. Remember this face. This is the official murderer of hip hop. *This is a pic of Jurnee Smollet and Hydeia Broadbent . If you
