Jurnee’s New Journey05.30.08

Every once in a while you come across a spirit that is simply fantastic and well Jurnee Smollett is that. The young actress “announced her intentions of working with Wiley College officials to establish a $2 million scholarship fund in honor of Henrietta Bell Wells, the woman behind her “Great Debaters” character.” With all the troubles of child actors it amazing that she still wants to change the world.

In an emotionally charged address, Ms. Smollett vowed that the scholarship fund would “put young girls through college” and help diminish the negative stereotypes and images of black women as depicted by the media, which she feels are sensationalized.

She also writes about her up coming endeavors on her myspace blog. “This project demands me to explore gifts that lie inside of me, bringing me joy that I rarely share with anyone… Well we are glad you have decided to share it with us.

Kanye West – Flashing Lights Video [3 of 3]05.29.08

Kanye West dropped the 3rd installment of the Flashing Lights video and well I still don’t get it. Maybe Rite G killed him for cheating, and then he went to see his main chick, in the 2nd and then he’s in HELL? I’m confused. Video spotted @ Writer’s Block While you’re there download his free playlist

Russell Simmons To Run for Mayor of NYC?05.29.08

I’ve been hearing rumors from some of my close friends from back home, That Russell Simmons is planning on hitting the campaign trail and running from mayor of NY. It makes perfect sense since Bloomberg has been rumored to be both Obama & “Insane” Running mate as well as an Independent candidate for the presidency. The Rumor first broke on Necole B’s website who has close ties to his camp. So we’ll just have to sit back and see what happens.

The Urban Pharmacist aka Dr. Feel Good05.29.08

The good folks over @ Itsthereal.com have blessed us with another one and it’s called Purp-a-cet. Lil Wayne would be proud. But it got me to thinking about the top 5 drugs of choice.

    Liquor - Yak, goose, Smirnoff, or Old English Malt Liquor. Slurring old men, with nappy beards and brown paper bags who smell like piss. Side effect: babies by ugly people.
    Hood Rat Chicks – Weave wearers with the tracks showing. This high will make you feel like a “king”pin. She will have you knowing ever Lil Boosie song, and all the words to Soul Plane. Side effects: Child Supports payment for a child who isn’t yours.

    Newports
    – You and every other black person in Urban American. You’ll be hooked going outside in negative 40 degree weather to smoke one. Side effects: A nasty cough and the voice of that dark skinned guy from Boyz II Men
    Ecstasy pills – Every boby and they momma are on them things nowadays. And if you never took ecstasy pills its something about the way they make you feel like Stephanie Mills. Side effects: cursing out old ladies on the train.
    Weed – The number 1 drug of choice in the hood. You can leave your own stories.

I Can Order Chinese By Myself05.29.08

There is an old adage which states that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well I believe that a lot of females have forgotten that saying. But whose fault is it? The Mother’s for not teaching her daughter how to cook? The Daughter for not learning how to cook? or the Dad’s for walking out on the mother, leaving the mother to work all day and not find time for her child?

Regardless of whose fault it is, I’m a bit perturb at the idea that 75% of females I’ve been with can’t or couldn’t cook. There was the one who could only boil chicken, the one who burned a hamburger and another who knew how to order the best of everything that delivered. I can ORDER CHINESE BY MY DAMN SELF!!

Learn to cook watch Rachel “I’m not a Muslim” Ray, scream BAM from the kitchen every now and then when you through some seasoning in a pot of stew. I want to smell the aroma of basil and 35 herbs and spices resonating from the kitchen area every once in a while. I get tired of the scent of MSG coming from a brown paper bag with a white plastic bag with a smile on the front. I have at least 400 liltte pieces of cardboard in my cabinet drawer from take out. A million menus and way too many packets of soy sauce in my BRROOWWNN PAaapperr BAaagggg!! I feel like DJ. Khalid or something.

Besides I don’t want to have to look Mr. Chan in the eye while he fumbles for my change in his pockets with hopes that I tell him to keep the change. Because I’m not going to tell him to keep the change b/c I’m going to have to see him again in a few days because my girl can’t cook!! SMCH!!!
