Why a blog?!?

Well I'm glad you asked! I've been toying with the idea of a blog for some time now. It seems like everyone has one and uses it for some reason or another. Last year when I worked for the liquor company where I had to find all the liquors from around the world to update their sales database, I stumbled onto so many blogs, mostly about wine, or scotch, or rum, or whatever the person or people were most passionate about. One in particular was Where's My Damn Answer. It was so hilarious. I think it's 3 or 4 women who talk pretty much about parenting, wine and tequila. Then there was one on rum, RUMDOOD. Wait maybe that wasn't a blog... I don't remember. And then most recently my exciting job as an HR assistant where they only really need me when they are laying people off, I 'have found' The Black Snob which is like a political kinda thing where the bloggist (umm is that even a word) also has a thing for Michelle Obama and how she dresses. Oh and she had this whole online stalker thing for TJ Holmes. I mean I don't see it but hey... her blog, her thing. She's a pretty noted blogger (oh maybe that's the correct conjugation) showing up in the Washington Post and other sites where people make mention of her. I wish I could remember her name, but I do know she's a Zeta.

And how could I forget 3 Black Chicks!! Probably the main blog that started me thinking waaaay back in early 2000's that I might even want to do this. This site has changed over the years, but it used to be, well 3 black chicks take on movies, both major and independent. And, not always just black movies. I used to read the reviews to see if it was a movie I wanted to see, or if I had already seen the movie I would read it just to see what they said about it. Sometimes they were dead on and some times I would be like did we see the same movie?!?!? Oh and when I worked at the wonderful place I used to work that monitored E V E R Y site, ad click, you name it, my manager in one of many huddle room sessions (think principal's office for adults) asked, well what IS 3 Black Chicks since you go there so much! Yeah I think I was getting written up for being on the internet to much. Oh the joy of modern slavery!!

So here it is, my blog. Maybe it will garner so much attention that I too will have a movie made about it. Julie and Julia was a very cute movie. And I have been thinking about just who would play me. It would have to be a beautiful curvaceous dark skinned beauty (I said beauty twice... eeehhh who am I kidding I'm random AND cute LOL) and not to many people fit that bill. I have a pretty familiar face, but I don't really think I look like anyone in Hollywood. There really aren't many black actresses that are dark. I mean I'm the color of milk chocolate, nice creamy and rich. But many of the actresses are of a lighter hue. I mean Jada, and Sanaa, even Gabrielle are great. There I go on a tangent... a RANDOM TANGENT!!

**disclaimer** As PC as I try to be in the real world I am not going to be here. I'm black, I'm a chick, I like wine and vodka, I like men, I say thank you little Baby Jesus (probably too much) not as a joke but because I really am praising His name, I am well traveled, sometimes well read, I have a potty mouth mostly in the car behind slow ass drivers, I am always striving to be a better me, but fuck it I mess up sometimes, my grammar is going to be jacked up, I like extra !!! and ??? and ... and this is my space. SO that's it... enjoy the journey with me!
