just being me

three's a charm

I watched the top 22 hip hop artist on mtv the other day, freaking whack. I know I'm not the greatest hip hop fan, but damn... LIL' Kim was number 8 all-time hip hop artist?! The reason she was put on the list is because her slutty dress attire causes a people to want to censor her. The fact that she doesn't care what others think makes her a hip-hop phenomenon? I don't think so. Anyways sluts usually don't care what others think, if they did would they be sluts? I thought hip hop was about musical style not clothing. That's MTV for yah. I just can't believe she beat out Queen Latifa! LL Cool J! Beastie Boys! Common! MTV sucks. They make a list according to the media driven society. Hip Hop is about lyricism and making sense of those words that send a message. Lil' Kim's "how many licks" doesn't really do that it's a cluster raunchy lyrics and clothes. Okay it does send a message, "lil Kim is horny." I'm disappointed in the list and I thought I'd share the popularity game of entertainment.
Speaking of MTV, this summer they're coming to Long Beach from may 27-June 12th. That's so freaking funny... Long Beach? I would think they'd hit Huntington first or Newport. Not Long Beach. Ha, but whatever. They have this thing "help to get a hot summer bod" Honestly, I'm tempted. Only because they usually hook up those people with makeovers and clothes, but I don't want to be on national television remembered as the fat girl with the boobs. But hey, if they want to motivate me for free, than maybe it's not such a bad idea. It's not like I'm overweight I just need the help to get toned. Than again I have Hanako, but she's leaving soon on her fun trips, so when she's gone who'se my working out buddy?
Today she and I started our running. I died. I got the worst cramps I imagined the eye of the tiger playing in the background as I fell onto the ground in slow motion my sweat jumping from me and my eyes rolling at the final hit of the ground. Luckily that didn't happen, but it could have. I am out of shape. What happened to the days where I could run a mile in 6 minutes? Oh happy days. But I guess we have to start somewhere to get to anywhere. I can't just magically appear healthy and in shape in a days work, at least I am doing something. I'm doing it for myself.
Yesterday was mother's day and I didn't spend it with my mother. She left early morning to catch her plane to take her to Puerto vallarta to see her mother. Infact, we celebrated Mother's day on Saturday, we went to the yard house in Pasadena. It was alright. I think it could have been better, but whatever. The bill came out to be 235 tip included. That was too much for not really being satisfied. All that matters is that I spent the day with my mom and it was fun. This year I didn't get her anything, well nothing tangible. Instead of a gift, she asked me if I would go to church three times on Sunday. That's not asking for much, and besides I wasn't doing anything else, so yesterday I went to church three times. There were two different priest. One reminded me of the priest in Princess Bride (which is one of my favorite movies). The other priest was funny. He didn't just speak, he correlated events that happen or that are happening right now in our society, into the sermon. It hits harder that way. The sermon was about loving others the way God loves you, and how important it is to let others know how you feel about them. If you let the moment pass you by you may not get another chance to say you care and than it will be too late. Love isn't an evil word, he coninued, love is special and if you have love with your family, your friends, or significant others, cherish it and tell them.
It makes you think. It made me think.
All in all, I'm glad I was able to fulfill my mother's wish. I know she knows I love her, but actions speak louder than words sometimes, and if she ever needs that resassurance I'll be willing to do it. That goes for everyone I care about. I Love You.
