Incredible News!

Temple Grandin

Posted by Ilicia on February 19, 2010

I watched this movie on HBO that recently just aired…last week, I think but I wanted to share this with you because I feel that if you have a child with autism/aspergers syndrome that you MUST watch this movie. I’m not gonna spoil it for you but basically it’s about Temple Grandin, a woman with autism, and her struggles from her diagnosis to her adult life and what she had to overcome to succeed. Yes, she is a success. I literally CRIED during this movie… there are also parts where you will laugh and be amazed (just the way the film is made with certain sounds and visuals to let you “the viewer” know what she “Temple” is hearing or seeing). Claire Danes KICKED ASS in this movie and did an amazing job playing Temple. Please… please, I urge you all to watch this movie and let your friends watch this movie and keep this movie in circulation because we have to let everyone know that our children are “different, not less”. That was the theme of the movie and I feel as though this movie should be required watching for any newly diagnosed child’s parent. It’s profound and eye-opening. You wont regret looking at it.

When I think about my childhood I can always remember a Teddy P. song or two playing. One of the greatest singers in the soundtrack of my life. RIP Teddy.

Robin Givens…Girl, bye.

Posted by Ilicia on November 17, 2009

NBC Conneticutt

Okay, I watched this video and I got mad as hell. I said I wasn’t gonna blog about it but everytime I saw it, it made my blood boil. For the record, I wanna say that I dont condone violence against anyone, domestic or otherwise. With that being said, Robin, I’mma have to give you a “Sitcho’ ass down”.

The reason why is because we know Mike Tyson beat you. We saw the interview. We saw you smiling and telling the story about how he abused you and we looked at his dumbfounded-ass face while you told the world this man was beating you. This was years ago, mind you, not circa Rihanna and Chris Brown. Okay, why after ALL this man has went through… accused of beating his wife, accused and convicted of rape, gone to jail, stripped of his dignity, lost all his money, can’t fight anymore,  people calling him crazy, and finally a blow so anquishing…losing his baby, Exodus. My point is, no matter how bad this man treated you IN THE PAST, hasn’t he suffered enough for you to say, “Okay, he had his comin’… he got what he deserves”?

Then, on top of that she had nerve enough to try to check Oprah about what she should have said during the interview. Excuse me? Who’s name is on the front door of this studio? That shit dont say Robin, it says Oprah! The point I’m trying to make his stop harping on old shit so you can get some shine. You’re mad because of one comment this man said…if you that damn pissed off with it, call HIS ass up and tell him to say he’s sorry. That’s who you need to be getting a “I apologize” from. We know what he did and no one makes light of that but damn I think that appology from Oprah was a bit much. And if this man has went through all this…his life is a shitty shambles right now and he can’t crack one joke? WTF. Robin, if you listened to that joke and paused to see how you felt about it… what you should have done was let it go and realized karma, or whatever you want to call it, for what it is. Look at his life. If I was Oprah, I would have told her: You dont like what I said then git’cho ass of the stage…with them crocodile tears. I wouldn’t have bit mo’ apologized….Girl, bye.

Aaron Hall (Side Hustlin’)?

Posted by Ilicia on November 17, 2009

Who knew, on the real, that Aaron Hall (R&B singer formerly of Guy) has/had been in Florida training dogs? I saw this video and (forgive me if I’m late) I was like, “NO, no he is NOT… this has to be fake.” It’s real. He kilt me when he said, “I feel like, if you open me up, you’ll see a dog in me”. I died. I saw a dog in him when his baby’s mother (Gloria Velez) was on TV talkin’ bout how Aaron aint payed child support in like forever. hmmmmm. But I was really hoping for Aaron to make a comeback one day. Dude can sing his ass off. It would help with them CHSUP payments. O_o

Watch!

Robin Thicke…Sex Therapy

Posted by Ilicia on November 17, 2009

Okay, why is this my new favorite song? Robin is so sexy to me and he is so talented. I’m not saying that because I just like songs like these (baby-makin’ music), he really got some skills. In the real video, he is groovin’ and flirtin’ with the camera and really givin’ it to you… so sexy. *LOL*.  Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Rihanna…damnit, girl

…you see it?

*serious look * Am I the only one who misses “Pon de Replay Rihanna”? This other bish, not so much. Is it me, or is she just DETERMINDED to show the world her nekkid ass? I guess since Chris leaked the nude pics of her she just said the hell with it and now it’s just a nipply time.

It doesn’t take all that. If you are talented, really talented, people will want to hear you sing. You dont have to keep reaching for attention like that.

I can appreciate the child trying to do her “fashion” thing. She’s rich, she’s suppose to dress up and look cute. But why come her ass just get’s depressing and more “abstract and work-of-art ish” to me, rather than a real person you can relate to.  Then again, maybe I’m just not “refined” enough to understand the statement she is trying to make… with the dress, not the nipple. *sigh*

I even liked that little boppity bop song, “S.O.S”. It was annoying as hell but at least it was kinda upbeat (besides it being a distress call for help). I think since the “Chris assault incident”, this outward show for us has been one big ass cry for help.

*storms out and slams the door*

Lance Gross

Posted by Ilicia on November 13, 2009

Okay, I know this aint news but I just want to show you this eye candy. Come savor the flavor bishes! Lance Gross is so sexy and so talented. I’ve been a fan of his since “Meet the Browns”, Tyler Perry’s movie. With him being on “House of Payne” and seeing a lot of potential in his future, I just see him maturing an an actor… and even an icon (ie Denzel). But in the meantime, in between time, I will just look at him and drool… and say that Miss Eva Marcille is a blessed woman in more ways than one.*SMH* One lucky bish.
