It's August & That Last Week Was....

In terms of popular culture, last week can be summed up with one word: STOOPID. So dumb that the appropriate spelling of the word does NOT suffice - a big word can;t even be ascribed to the tomfoolery that was the last week of July in popular culture. Seriously.

Now I will admit that i do watch a preposterous amount of TV. But it's not like I'm not gaining something from it. Last week proved to me a few things that I'll shed light on at the end of my rant. So let's start with the rundown from the day we all LOVE to LOATHE: Monday.

Basketball Wives: Undoubtedly I could begin a rant about this in any one of the 7 damn milieus that displayed the boorishness that characterize the "except one - none of us are actually basketball wives" clique. I guess I'll start with the root of the debacles that ensued.

Meeka. As soon as this girl waltzed onto our television screens she had disaster written all over her mouth. Maybe if she had taped that shit shut she wouldn't have been in that situation. We've ALL been newcomers but how many of us can attest to being that...damn...thirsty. The cardinal rule with females is NOT to run your mouth, you have to peep the scene and THEN get in where you fit in. At least don't SHOW ppl that you do that. Fool them, trick them, stunt, front. But from the beginning I knew she was asking for it. As she did the entire season she ran her mouth too damn much. The situation was squashed and her tongue took off...running at lightening speed about some stoopid weeks ago comment. Everyone has to learn a lesson. Just sucks that you had to get mushed out of a country on national television...And peep how she never told Tami she was classless to her face. I have to pull out an old term we had for that in Brooklyn when I was coming up: pet. Seriously pet.

Suzi. "I didn't want to say anything but"another one who's PET. Why bring that shit up there...along the wonderful cobblestone streets of Rome, with a scenic backdrop. Your lisp-havin ass started a fire and Evelyn of course throws that gas. You too Suzi are deathly afraid of a verbal sparring match, and you definitely proved you were an underling when you read your "entire" text message string when NO ONE ASKED FOR ALLA DAT. Not interested in your new founded tucked under balls.

Tami. You have children. Need I say ANYTHING else in your special section here. No I'll continue because these are egregious social maturity issues and clearly you're not aware that fighting bitches over "principal" was something that should have STOPPED occurring after 25 - at the very latest. At a benefit yelling and carrying on about food stamps, at a Polo event, at dinner in Rome, at VIP in the club... in ROME?!?! I personally don't even want to visit that place until an extensive amount of time has eradicated the Italians memories of those ghetto ass bitches. There's something that I learned when I went to orientation before studying in Sydney. The Ugly American. Tami took the travel adage of the loud, obnoxious, demanding, unpleasant American traveler and upped it a whole other level to the "Grotesque American." At any point in time when I choose not to associate with someone do you know how I handle it?

That's just it. I ignore them, cut them off, and move on. I've wanted to mollywop girls and guys alike PLENTY of times. But what exactly is the point? Now your titty is out, you can't party and finish the bottle of liquor, you look ignorant at someone's classy affair (again), and let me reiterate YOU HAVE CHILDREN. Sitchyoassdown. Build a bridge and get the fuck over it.

Shaunie. This bitch be fanning the flame before the gas even gets to it. Instigating, non-helpful I can see why Shaq put that court order tellin her to keep his name out her mouth. I mean why would you read a letter addressed to you in a lobby...out loud? She's the main one. Trust as a producer she needs ratings so there's no way not having fights would do her wallets good I'm sure. But I guess since traveling to a nice country for free is a perk worth the drama....

STOOPID.

Ms. Winehouse: may she RIP. In no way do I celebrate death or wish it on anyone - but really though her debut, celebrity-creating single was Rehab and she said they tried to make her go and she said "No, no, no" what did ppl THINK WOULD HAPPEN??? What you just do mad drugs for forever? This culture of following celebrity is just corny to me now.

Yall have all this money. Accolades. Press. Bling. Fly cribs. But where is the SUBSTANCE? Where are YOUR FRIENDS? Like non of yall have friends from your youth? No? Too normal? Money really made you? Meanwhile soldiers died the WHOLE WEEK. Fighting for these high ass gas prices we got going right damn now.

No shine for them. No recognition. No acknowledgment - besides on 1010 WINS and I know no one besides my aunt is playing that when she goes to work...And if Osama is DEAD WHY WE STILL AT WAR??? Now we trying to get ALL the Taliban? Lawd we gon' be at war foreva then because they birth these "insurgents"

STOOPID.

The Debt Crisis. I'm so SICK of these politicians. All the fuck they're good for is fuckin/flirting/texting recklessly, getting into scandals, and arguing. If that was a Black person doing what they were doing they would have been fired, shot, and protested against EONS ago.

I really would love have a Democratic experiment. Come Election Day how about NOBODY like nobody at all, vote. Run up on these fools and just SHAKE THE SHIT OUTTA THEM. They'll probably be at some fancy $300 lunch with a damn lobbyist. But the old people might not get paid? WHy should yall get paid. None of these people have mastered what we ALL got taught in like Kindergarten and the 1st grade: compromise - listening - playing fair.

Then we got the blockhead FB contributors talking about: "if Social Secutiry don't get paid I'm not voting for Obama again!" Right because Obama is supposed to wave his big black dick and SAVE AMERICA! People's ignorance into the workings of the government is just damn depressing because really it's not a complicated matrix...but I mean in all honesty if you don't vote for him again, that's cool I mean the Republicans are already planning to eradicate and or quarantine the US from the millions of leaches who are unemployed and sucking the life out of the country they live in :-/

STOOPID

T-Mobile/Macy's Downtown BK. I'm broke and honestly like I told T-Mobile's reps I've paid overdraft JUST to pay the bill before. But shit aint smart...so if I can prevent it I will. I called July 25 to cancel my payment arrangement. Shorty says your service may be interrupted. The next day, I tried to call my mother and was greeted by the "Doo-doo-doo dum" T-Mobile chime. WTF?! So I made another arrangement and got it put back on, the agent says ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF THE CALL "They'll be a $20 restoration fee" I was rushing but I definitely was like Ohhh iggghhhht. I'll call yall after I handle this interview.

Get to Macy's for said interview...mad hot ghetto mess going on. Arrived on time for a 2pm interview. Signed in. No one said shit, addressed me, or even said "We'll be with you" until the guy who's interviewing me calls me in at 2:50pm. Long story short (and sparing you the absurd outfits and relational skills) the job that was online wasn't even available. "I'll keep your number" No. Please for both of our sakes burn my shit. This wasn't meant to be. And of course I get an email at 6 pm saying the job isn't available. Now you tell me....

Back to T-Mobile. After getting the run around and being told "there's nothing we can do" with my angry approach "Even if you think you're charging me the bill will be short $20 every time." I parlayed with a Billing Specialist about the reality the next day. I've been with yall for too long to pull this shit without warning. You can't just CUT MY PHONE OFF no text, no warning. Customer Service Rep could have TOLD ME to reschedule another payment since my shit was off for all of 2 minutes. I can do her job in my sleep and we're all struggling. It's the agent's job to know how to help me and every other time they do...he got tired of my yapping and gave me a credit. Having to wait an extra day:

STOOPID

In Conclusion. One of my besties said it best: "when you have money you be bored...and you have nothing else to do than be concerned with drama I guess" I'm just thankful I don't hang out with classless, bum bitches who lack social maturity.

In terms of what's going on I sincerely hope ppl pay more attention to what's REAL. Blacks lost ALL WEALTH GAINS b/c of the recession. Largest gap in 25 years. But who cares about that when they're blasting who wore what to Ms. WInehouse's funeral.

As for the general masses learn the damn branches of government, watch School House Rock shit that's how I learned the shit. I'm just saying stop expecting (like too many Black ppl have done for too long) for people to just IMPROVE SHIT. IMPROVE YOURSELF. READ. LEARN TO READ. Anything besides saying you're about to do NOTHING because you don't have your way.

Customer Service is a job, just like representing your constituents in Washington. When people don't get on their job or when they violate you can do what YOU want - but I refuse to pay for that shit because in the grand scheme of things too many ppl are looking for something to do for ANYONE to be doing simple shit WRONG. And I'll remind those slackin asses whenever it affects me because I refuse to be like this past week suffering from

STOOPID.
