Throwback Tuesday: Black Rob - Whoa

You'd be lying if you said you didn't know this song or this wasn't your jam. Come on "it's like WHOA"? The only word you need to know to sing it. June will make 10 years since the song hit number one status. Ten years ago I remember being at a house party in Decatur and this song came on, the full house crowd went crazy. To be honest I never knew all of the lyrics. I remember these few lines and just remember "Nitro, might flow..." It's amazing how time passes but a song stays with you forever. That Decatur party was one of the best parties I've ever been to and while I may not remember everyone at that party, I remember the guy I danced with to this song. Turned out to be a really cool way to meet someone. "WHOA"
Frontin like they had the manpower like WHOA! More or less
More or so, I'll rip your torso
I live the fast life, come through in the Porshe slow like WHOA!
My niggaz - like dough, light 'dro
Nitro, might flow, nice clothes like WHOA!

Why Did I Get Married Too Will Premiere In The Bahamas

The Ministry of Tourism in conjunction with Tyler Perry and local pastor, Bishop Neil Ellis have joined forces to give Bahamians an opportunity to experience the Hollywood glitz and glamour, and get an up close and personal experience with Perry along with 3 other cast members at The Bahamas' premiere of the soon to be released sequel Why Did I Get Married Too.

The film which was shot on the island of Eleuthera, a place I call home, will be released on April 2, 2010.

Minister of Tourism, Mr. Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace acknowledged, "There is no better product placement than to show the waters and the beauty of the islands of The Bahamas. When someone sees this film they are going to be able to see The Bahamas in a way that we couldn't possibly do it."

The event will take place at Atlantis Theater at a soon to be announced date and time. General admission tickets will be going on sale at various locations around New Providence including Gems Radio, the Juke Box etc.


The Unmentionable Oscar Category Winners

BEST DAPPER DUDE
Ryan Reynolds
Whether it's the two button tux or one button the guys were looking pretty sharp last night. I'd have to say that I'm favoring the one button tux a bit more. And Ryan Reynolds in my opinion was the best looking dapper dude. So chiseled to perfection...






BEST DRESSED FEMALE


BEST HAIR DO
This season it seems the top hair trend for an awards show like the Oscars is the updo retro hair sweep and many walked the red carpet with a number of updos. My favorite has to be Zoe Zeldana followed by Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Ritchie.

The New Game Line - Neighbors Know My Name

"Your body is the problem they call me the problem solver." lol. Trey better stop. Think a few women bit their lips on this one. Oh I can just hear the stories of couple squabbling because a dude used this line and there were no fireworks and the names were inaudible; but a mere whisper. I'm just saying... lol

New Video - Love Hurts

The title tells you wha the song shows you but what caught my eye was when I saw the love interest in the video all tatted up and locks like Weezy (back on). I'm thinking again, "Dang Nivea went hard at Weezy in this video- wasn't even tryna hide the direct message." It's a good thing I can count all of his tattoos. lol just kidding. Then you see it actually ISSS him folks and she pulled a P!NK and Carey Hart. So now I'm wondering if this means they're gettng back together like the rocker/biker couple. Everyone heard last year how Weezy's seed was a spawn for Generation NEXT.At the break what was the count? Two or three women had babies for him at the same time?- Nivea included. And prior to the revelation that he had in fact impregnated the likes of Nivea and Lauren London after just having a one year old son with another unidentified woman, he was engaged to Nivea and she wore that ring. Like what is it in his ish? Geez it's a good thing Weezy dipped outta the 242 before he could even perform. His lyrics must do it for em.

Man Says iDoll

While engaged in a conversation with one of my coworkers, she mentioned watching a recent show of National Geographic that had her and astonished. The topic of the show, Strange Love. Now I'm opened minded and I try not to judge you for your preference, hell that's on you... but to say this fits the requirement as strange love is an understatement. After reading the story for myself I'm still in disbelief and quite perplexed at the psychological stability of this gentleman who has taken a human sized factory manufactured doll as... DRUM ROLL... HIS WIFE!

Did you see that coming? Did you notice that or did you think she was slightly comatose? Un-be-lievable! He seems normal, yet what would make a man feel more comfortable to marry a doll as opposed to a woman? Was he rejected by women? Is this some sexual deviance?- a paraphilia in the least. Yet he's in love, he's happy. He clothes her. talks to her and of course he's consumated the marriage. I wonder what did it for him? At what moment did he realize he was in love and wanted to marry her? Did they wait until the "I Do's" to consummate? Did he take her out to dinner at least? How many dates? Okay so I'm being facitious but can you blame me? I have to use humor to take my mind off of the fact that women and men have to compete with different species, sexual preferences beastiality and God only knows what else. I DO NOT CARE TO BE MADE WISER. This is one time where IGNORANCE SHALL REMAIN BLISSFUL!

All jokes aside...What's next? Dating and marrying inanimate objects? Oh wait I had to research... That's been done and apparently it can put an end to the growing number of divorce.

Here's an excerpt I found.

Take Erika Eiffel, who is married to the Eiffel Tower. Eiffel says she recalls being attracted to objects even as a child, and realized she was different only when she saw other people at school dating each other, while she was dating a bridge.

I DONT EVEN RECOGNIZE THE WORLD I LIVE IN ANY MORE BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOD!...

Newsmaker of The Week- Ortland Bodie

After watching the news I, like many other Bahamians was taken aback at news that local radio talk show host and disbarred lawyer Ortland Bodie was arrested after saying to a caller on air that he knew where to purchase an illegal firearm. Immediately police officers waited for Bodie to come off the radio and exit the building where he was immediately taken to Central Police station and "held" for questioning.

I'm sure today his ratings have placed him at the top, and Bodie didn't waste time in clearing reports he claims were falsely made by a morning daily newspaper who said he was arrested. A complete house raise was conducted by officers at Mr. Bodie's home. His response, "at least he and his wife had "clean drawers."

In his on-air acknowledge Bodie apologized to the Bahamian people and explained his comments came after a heated conversation where he made the "inappropriate remarks." "I'm guilty of that but I am guilty of nothing else except that I have passion for the people" he explained. Of course being the radical radio personality that he is, Bodie took what seemed like a 30 minute PSA to discuss how he is the number one radio host in The Bahamas, how he has been risen from the dirt and he's somewhat the champion for the people.
While I thoroughly understand the fan base and persons wanting to hear of Mr. Bodie's experience I guess we have to see through the real concern that this outcome stems from and that is upholding the law, the plight of crime, prevalence of illegal firearms on the streets and the alarming rate of home invasions. Sighs...
