Tuesday Tomfoolery: YOU CAN DIE FROM MASTURBATING?!?!






Here at Crazyland, one is never shy when the topic of sex is brought up. Sex is an experience that showcase love, fun and emotion that one should cherish and not do with every walking being (Translation: DON'T BE A SLUT!) Since many people( like me) do not believe in shagging everyone, people turn to a practice where one pleasures oneself i.e. masturbating. Everyone, man AND woman, loves to please themselves to relieve sexual frustration. Whether with a dildo, a vibrator, beads, blow up doll, fake sex parts or your good ol' fingers and hands  (Side note: I know these instruments are used during masturbation due to me watching a lot of HBO. It's not like I own them or anything... ::nervous laugh:: ) 

However, imagine if you pleasure yourself TO DEATH?! I mean you masturbated so much to the point that you cause your own death???

Don't believe that can happen?? Well it appears that could happen as Parlour Magazine reported. According to the magazine, Nicola Pagination (seen on your left), a young woman from England, was found dead in her flat (which is an apartment for those who don't know) with a sex toy inside her, porn sprinkled around her and her cat on her chest. (LMAO! The cat on the chest? This is so wrong to laugh about..but I can't help it..LMAO) 
Now you might be thinking it's impossible to die from pleasuring yourself and maybe she was killed by someone or even died due to an illness but the coroner told the British newspaper, The Mail,  that she passed of, and I quote,
 “hearty arrhythmia, likely brought on by her state of arousal. The cause of death was also confirmed by Gloucestershire coroner Alan Crickmore who told The Mail that it was likely that ‘her activity before death’ contributed to the fatal arrhythmia.”

*blank stare* 

So in other words, the woman died because had a great orgasm she received by using a sex toy???? WHERE THE HELL CAN I FIND THAT SEX TOY?!?!?!??!?! 

I mean, that's a great way to go, eh? Well, minus the whole sex toy inside her part, lol

Oh, this crazy world, LMAO!

Later days....AND DON'T JUDGE ME! lol

Tumultous Thursday: I'M NOT A DIME AND I'M COOL WITH THAT

:In My Best Martin Voice:

wassup, Wassup, WAAAASSSAAAAAAA!!!!!


Today, I've come to the conclusion that I think some might not understand or even comprehend. In a world where being a barbie is key, I've come to the conclusion....I don't want to be referred to as a "dime piece."

Ladies put in major hours in the gym, keep up to date with the latest fashion trends and go to extremes (i.e. Chicken steroids in the ass, etc.) just to have the ability to say that they are a dime. Don't get me wrong, I know I look good (not to toot my own horn but HONK HONK!) but I don't see the big obsession with being a dime piece now-a-days. As we all know, beauty has evolved over the years but I don't understand when my beauty is equivalent to a small silver coin? Hell, we couldn't be the half dollar!!! I like the half dollar coin!!!!

I know what some are saying: "You're probably mad that you not a dime yourself" or " You're just a ugly hater," blah blah blah. I respect everyone's opinion as you all know we here in Crazy land respects everyone's view point but what I'm saying is I am okay with who I am and my status on the hot-o-meter. I've never been the girly girl type and I slowly grew into my cute stage. Therefore, why should I put pressure on myself to look like a video vixen?

What I like to consider myself to be is "pretty/adorable" (for those who might be wondering, that would be a solid 8 on the hot-o-meter). I like to be considered "pretty" because I feel that there is something genuine with that term. To be referred to as "sexy" is cool, don't get me wrong ( I have my moments) but that term is usually used because the guy is thinking about the girl doing that cool Karma Sutra move he saw on the porno Booty Hunt Part 4.

To be referred to as "pretty" or "cute" or even "sweet" has a genuine, loving meaning behind it. It means to me that the guy sees me as a woman who has a chance to warm his heart. I know that sounds sappy but even the toughest women on the planet wants to have that moment where they're adore by a man.

I am not knocking girls who consider themselves to be a dime, different strokes for different folks. What I'm saying is that I'm okay being the "cute" girl. I would rather warm your heart than to only be considered as a one-night banger because I know that you care about me if I touch your heart but I don't know if your hard "stick" is going to be a night of bliss for me....so I'll take your love for 500 :-)
 
What do you think? Sound off......

Mean Muggin' Mondays: Does Your GPA Really Show Your Growth?

Good Evening My Loves!

As my graduation approaches, I've been having my "time of clarity' and starting to grasp the thought that on May 16th I will be a College graduate, walking across the stage of Madison Square Garden to receive my Bachelors in Mass Communications. ( I felt chills just writing that statement.)

However, today, I asked myself a question that I feel every college graduate should ask themselves as they prepare to take on the "real world."

Does Your GPA Really Show Your Growth?

Some of you would probably interpret my question as me bashing college or "hating" on the 4.0 students. That's not the case at all. 

As soon as we begin our college career, we're told to focus on keeping your grades up and "Getting those A's." We study for tests, read tons of chapters in textbooks and write numerous amount of papers just to make sure that we get that high score. However, have you ever wondered how those tests will affect your growth? Or how writing that paper about European History will help you find a job? 

I poise this question because I feel that college students don't take the time to grow as a person during their four years.

College is a time when you're transitioning from "adolescent mode" and learn how to handle this thing called life. College is the time to build relationships, deal with heartache and learn from all the experiences you will face.  

For me, as I look back at my time at Iona College, I can truly say I have grown up from that insecure 18 year old girl to who I am today. For a small school, I've learn how to handle myself through any trails and tribulations; I've shed many tears, lost many friends and even question if I will make it. However, today, as I count down the days to May16th, I can honestly say....I've made it. This is what college should be. I cannot put into words how proud I am of myself to know that I have changed for the better.  Granted, my education is the best treasure I can ever have but to know I am a better person, a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend;  that is best gift college can ever give to me.  

I know that many of us today probably wondering "Why do we have to go through BS to be great?" To answer your question, I will share with you a saying my parents instilled in me ever since I can remember;

"If you don't go through your tests, you'll never appreciate your testimony."

College is suppose to challenge you, not just academically but emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. It will be difficult now but like me and many 2010 graduates, you will appreciate it.

So, as I close this post, I would like you all to take the time to stop looking at your GPA and stop wondering about that final paper due on Wednesday (@6:30pm for me) and really ask yourself, "What has College really taught you about yourself?"

Trust me, the results will be truly rewarding.

Duces! :-)

Mean Muggin' Mondays: If Love Was A Blow-Up Doll...

Hello Darlings!


I had a FABULOUS Mean Muggin' Mondays post but Blogger decide to refresh itself and erase my post. FANTASTIC! Well, no need to cry over spilled milk. The show must go on!!!!

So for today's night cap(You like how I changed it up) I wanted to share with you my feelings on love. Now, now I'm not going to preach nor tell you how to find it; I just want to talk about....love; how beautiful it is, how nerve-racking it can be and how much I love it! However,  take a moment to analyze this quote: 

"I wish love was a blow-up doll. I can have it when I want then deflate it when I'm tired of it."

*Pause for Reaction*

When I first read this, I immediately busted out laughing because I randomly pictured a dorky nerd bringing his Blow-up doll with him to his prom.( Don't ask me why it came to my mind and don't judge me! lol) After I tamed myself, I decided to take a deeper look into that statement: What if love was a blow up doll? I mean you will have it when you want it; it won't complain nor would get tired during "activities."

Many times I read people's tweets or their Facebook statuses where they go on and on about how they wish they had control  over their significant other to get their way. I know I am not the only one who has overheard a girl ranting about how " she want's this *expletive* to do what I *expletive* I want to do" or you hear guys say "This *expletive* should just shut up and just *expletive* my dick." (What?! I censored most of the bad words, saying dick won't kill you!) Therefore, many people would agree that they wouldn't mind if their lover can turn into a quiet, no-back talk blow-up doll. However, I poise the question, would you be able to last with this arrangement? Think about it. If your significant other was a "blow-up doll" meaning they never give you headaches and satisfy your every need, would you enjoy it forever?

 I mean, to be real, I think that's torture! I mean, granted I believe the male species is the most annoying creature on the planet from time to time but I love them, headaches and all. I would rather have a guy that would challenge me than a push-over dude. Hell, I love the arguments! I sometimes use to start sh*t with my significant other to get some. I am a grown woman and I will admit it.

HI, MY NAME IS CRAZY PRETTY LADY AND I START ARGUMENTS WITH MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER TO ENSURE 8-HOUR OF MAKE-UP BLISS!!! :-p

I think that is what make relationship great! There isn't a perfect human being on this planet. So, why would you yearn for one? "For better and for worse", many people seem to forget this line when they enter a relationship.  I am not saying that being argumentative is healthy because IT'S NOT but a little debate from time to time makes things fun. Therefore, if you want a "blow-up doll" go buy one, don't expect a human to be one. 

What do you think? Do you wish love was a blow-up doll?

I don't know if I'd like the idea of that so I will deal with my hard-headed, stubborn, sarcastic bloak anyday :-)

Mean Muggin' Mondays: "Success is Failure Turned Inside Out"


As many great leaders and entrepreneurs will tell you at one point of their life they have to struggle and grind their way to the top. I mean Oprah Winfrey didn't wake up and have her success; Jay-Z didn't become a mogul overnight. Therefore, why should I expect to be successful overnight.

Tonight, I had a moment, like many 20-something year old, where I question if all that I am doing is even worth it. I had a moment where I wondered if the many nights I spend staying up until 3 AM thinking of new,innovative ideas will be even worth it? If me going from internship to internship is going to pay off? As a human being, we often ask the question "Why me?" We all have (and don't lie and say that you haven't) asked ourselves "why me?" However, as a friend told me when I was spoke to her(which was truly a God's way of passing a message to me that I really need) that instead of asking "Why me?", ask yourself "Why not me?" 

Why shouldn't you go through the struggle? Why shouldn't you have to fight? Why shouldn't you go through the challenges and the deal with the neigh sayers? 

As the old saying goes "God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle." So, as you ask yourself the "shoulda, coulda, woulda", remind yourself that there's a silver lining and that YOU will succeed if you just work hard at it and stay focus.

To help my fellow Crazyettes, here is a little pick-me-up poem that I absolutely love! I read it as a reminder to myself that one day, I will be successful.  


Don't Quit 
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
-- Berton Braley

Mean Muggin' Monday: It's Good To Be Selfish

Over these past couple of months, I have gone through a lot of soul searching, trying to figure out who I am. As many college graduates (like myself) get ready to take on this thing called life, you start to question what you thought was the"right" thing to do. 


For me, I start to question the ideas of being selfish. If you look up the term selfish concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others. After reading that definition, of course we can all agree that being selfish is a big no-no but is it necessary to be selfish at time.

There is an old saying: " If you are not happy, then it’s likely that no one around you is happy." Though that might sound a tad bit self-centered but think about it, if you are not happy, how in the hell can you be happy around others.

When you become truly "selfish", you'll have the extra reserves needed to really care about as well as be generous with others.

I mean let's put it all into perspective. When you truly take care of yourself, only then can you have the reserves necessary to be generous with others. How many of us have this backwards? We take care of everyone (and everything) else, and leave ourselves for last. How can we even think about being generous with what we don’t have to give? For many of us, this is a significant contributor to our stress levels. And we’re accomplishing great things in spite of our stress levels, so what’s wrong with that?


Especially as young adults, we are at a point in our lives were we are laying the groundwork for our future. If we get so wrapped up in other people's problems, how can we handle our own. Think about it. If you worry about your homegirl's boy trouble, how the hell you going to have time to worry about your own? Fellas, if your homie always want you to be his wingman constantly, how are you going to have time to build yourself up into that leader status.

I am not saying that you should be cold about things in life but there comes a time where you have to just "do you" and focus on what makes you better in life.  If you hurt someone's feelings along the way, so be it! A true friend will respect the fact that you are doing what is right for you and a better you means a better friends, lover, sister, brother, cousin, whatever in this world.


So go ahead…make your self happy!

Tumultous Thursday: Is NBC Racist For Cooking "Soul Food"???

I think it is safe to say that this might have been the tweet heard around the world!



Yesterday, drummer of the Roots Questlove snapped a tweetpic of the "wonderful" lunch menu the cafeteria over at NBC was serving in honor of Black History Month. The menu consisted of fried chicken, collared greens and jalapeno cornbread.  As soon as Questlove posted the picture on his twitter page, it spread like wild fire over the internet! Many people were outraged, even threatening to boycott the station(check out the Facebook group they made against NBC.SMH) 


To save themselves from yet another scandal, NBC apologized to those who were offended by the menu. However, in a recent interview, NBC Chef Leslie Calhoun, who is black, did not understand the uproar about the menu. She even picked the menu out herself! See below for her interview.







All day, yesterday, I have been tweeted, texted and BBMed (that's Blackberry Messenger for the folks who don't know)about how I felt about the menu. I even got asked if I would "put NBC on blast for being soo ignent (not ignorant, ignent)." To be quite honest with you, I don't know.


Coming from a strong Jamaican family, my parents always insisted that my brothers and I learn about our culture and appreciate it. Hell, when I look at my mother sometimes and call her the Jamaican Angela Davis. So, I have read many books, articles, and speeches about the history of the African Americans, slavery, and also soul food.


So, let me school you young bloods on the history of Soul food....


*clears throat*





 Back when slavery was about, slaves had to create their own dishes from the leftovers that their masters did not eat.  They had to learn how to prepare simple, one-pot meals such as fufu, which consisted of vegetables and pounded yams. African's native foods were yams, vegetables, rice, and groundnuts so Africans were skillful in growing small gardens (collard greens) and fruits (watermelons).  Africans were also very skilled in frying, roasting, grilling, boiling, and steaming their foods. However, cooking was mostly done on open pits or fireplaces, which would be equivalent to how we barbecue today.  

They also used large amount of fat, sugar, and salt to season their foods because it was cheap and  available. Salt was also used as a preservative since there were no refrigeration or other methods to keep food cool during that time. Also, many people didn't know that slaves use to mix crushed watermelon, sugar and water to make a drink which is somewhat similar to when we mix Kool-Aid today.

So, in a way, soul food symbolizes how our people were brilliant enough to make a divine, healthy meal out of what people would consider nothing but scraps. 


However, I can understand why some people would find the menu "racist."  NBC having this menu is somewhat offensive and sort of "stereotypical". I mean it is like me saying let's make fried rice for Chinese New Year or let's fist pump during the Columbus Day Parade. Cultures should never be stereotyped at all by one thing. If NBC wanted to celebrate Black History Month through food, why couldn't they have the soul food but put a modern twist on it? Hell, they did it on Top Chef! YOU GUYS OWN TOP CHEF! YOU KNOW BETTER!!!! 

What do you crazy folks think? Do you find this offense? 


NBC definitely does not need this extra drama. SMH, I bet Jeff Zucker has a huge bottle of Grey Goose in his office because the amount of BS he is going through this early in the year, it is ridonkulous! SMH

Wednesday Mean Muggin Special: What if "The Home Wrecker" is The One?

What it do Party People!



Now, this story has been a hot topic in my office, on the streets, hell, even on public transportation!

Rumor has that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are reportedly engaged to take that next leap of faith. Now this would be a happy story if Swizz Beatz wasn't TECHINICALLY STILL MARRIED to his soon-to-be ex-wife(once the ink is dry) singer Mashonda. Today, as the story hit the streets, I cannot tell you how many times I overheard women calling Alicia Keys a "home wrecker" or a "man-stealer." I literally choked on my drink since I was laughing so hard at my fellow crazy spazing out at Alicia and listening to her theory on "chicks breaking up happy homes."

I read the message boards and tweets about the story and I must say, in somewhat of an ironic twist path to maturity, I genuinely disagree with everyone's disapproval of Alicia and Swizz's relationship.

Ever since news broke that the two were together, I began to ask myself a question tha even I found shocking.(If this was the CrazyPrettyLady back in the day, Lord knows I would have probably spazzed out myself) What if the woman that is considered "the home wrecker" or the "man stealer" is actually the right one for the man?

*Dodges bottles that are being thrown at me because I ask such a question*

HEAR ME OUT!

I, myself, went through a situation where a guy who I was dating left me to be with another woman. To be honest, I went on my rants and called her a "home wrecker" and blah blah blah. However, after reflecting with myself (and taking a lot of anger management classes) I personally realize that though it might not have been the right way he started his new relationship with the other woman, at the end of the day, she was the RIGHT woman for him. Listen, no one on this earth cannot control who they fall in love with and sometimes the one that they want is the one they should not have. However, a lot of time people do not follow what their heart because they want to either spare their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend of pain or in some case, like in Swizz's in my opinion, a child is involved and you want to keep a happy home.

Before men of world try to pat me on the back for "sticking up for them", DO NOT THINK THAT I AM CONDONING CHEATING. I am not saying that AT ALL. If you are cheating, meaninf your sleeping around without a care in the world, you deserve to get your a$$ beat! (Well not beat, but hurt really badly.) What I am saying is that if you know your heart is elsewhere and not with the person you are with now, then it is best to just let that person go and be with the one that makes you happy. This is what Swizz did; he loves Alicia. There is not one person who can tell me that this relationship does not look genuine. I remember seeing pics of Swizz and Mashonda around the time they were going to split and I am not going to lie, THE MAN LOOKED MISERABLE!


And to all the women who calling Alicia a "man-stealer", cut it out! Look, no woman like a home wrecker at all. However, ladies, keep it funky! you Never been in a relationship with a guy you absolutely can't stand but stayed in the relationship to save his heart and spare yourself from being lonely and then you meet the guy that is perfect for you and though you were considered "grimey" to leave your old boyfriend behind, you could care less because you are so happy to be with the one that makes heart and soul smile? I have been that girl and to this very day, I am happy to be with this man and wouldn't change my decision.

So, ladies, put down the pitch fork and stop cussing on the blogs. You can't control what your heart feels and at the end of the day, if the love is real, it will always survive. So, congrats to Alicia and Swizz. I wish you guys nothing but success.

And to Mashonda, I wish you too all the best. Don't worry, you will find your prince charming.


P.S. - If you disagree with me, that's cool. However, I am being honest and real. Some of you chicks out there who are cursing up a storm are the same ones who sleep with your man's friends because you feel *in ghetto dialect* "he wasn't giving it the way I want it. So I went elsewhere" Yea, heffa, I am talking about YOU! So, cut the bullsh*t and leave these lovebirds alone!

Ta-Ta :-)

Mean Muggin' Monday: D.O.E = Death of Excuses

What's really good party people?!


I hope the first full week in 2010 is going swell; free from headaches and lames!


Speaking of lames, for today's Mean Muggin, I want to address something that should be said right off the bat and not sugar coated. What I am about to say might piss you off (what else is new?) but we are in a new year and we can start the year off with nonsense!


As an independent woman, I truly believe we are in an age where women should be strong and able to stand on their own two feet. Women today are making their voices be heard in Corporate America and by the looks of things, women might be wearing the big draws and having are male counterparts cook the dinner!

Now, while I am all for the independence movement, I will admit SOME OF YOUR CHICKS CONFUSE INDEPENDENCE WITH DOWN RIGHT SELFISHNESS!!


Over the weekend, I chatted it up with my family about life and what it has to offer black women like moi. One family member of mine (who I love and want to choke all at the same time) made a comment about how she is a certain age( mind you she is relatively young) and yet cannot find a man. Being the Curious George that I am, I dug a little deeper and asked why she felt as though she can't find a man and her response made me cringe so much that I had to give her the ill grill. (You know the look! .Tthe"what the hell you just say" look where you look disgusted for a second.) Her response is the response that I always see plastered on my twitter page and Facebook News Feed!


I think you know exactly what I am about to say:


"I don't have a man because Men ain't Sh*t and can't handle me!"


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Ladies, when are we going to take responsibility for our own actions?! I am sorry, but women, the reason why some of you lose your men and are lonely is because you
are LAZY, SELFISH, AND INCONSIDERATE! (sorry if I sound intense, I get like that sometimes :-) )


Case in point....


If you ask a woman if she would pay half for a date that she is on with her man, the girl would
look at you as if you said she had the bubonic plague and think the dude is "not good" for her. Now, I don't condone broke dudes, AT ALL but I don't see what is the problem splitting the bill.
Listen, we are in a recession and if your ass want to get the Crab legs, heffa pay half for them crab legs! It seems that this material satisfaction; the notion that you can have a man to buy you everything is more important to a woman rather than genuine love her man gives to her. Then when women see the man treat another woman better than them, they wonder why. Listen, if there is one thing I learned is that you can't force your man to show you love and affection; he has to do it because HE wants to. If all your man can afford is a card and a pack of chocolate, except that and cherish that. Trust me, if he see you appreciate him at his worst than he will definitely love you and spoil you at his best.


Another thing bugs me is that women want to be wined, dined and pampered by their significant other even if they feel they can treat their man like do-do! And your "shocked" because he cheated on you, why? Women mistake "strength" with down right obnoxious! Your showing strength when you carry on in public, your showing that you are an ASS!

How do you expect to be royalty when your action say you are a peasant that do anything!!! I swear, for men, it is like hitting a lottery when they hear that they found a woman who can cook or clean. Half of these chics out here can't even boil water and probably live in a roach-infested houses because "like, they totally do clean up, like eww!" but sure I bet you those nasty ass chic are the same ones who throw on them flyest heels and call themselves "dimes." How can you expect to receive the 5-star treatment from your guy and not give it back. 9 time out of 10, the reason why men leave and look elsewhere is because they don't feel appreciated by the one they love.


However, there are many dogs out there who will break women's heart and use them for their own purposes. I, myself, have been through my fair share of tears and dealt with my fair share of Dogs but what I can't take is when women try to justify their irresponsible, selfish, manipulative behavior on their "broken heart." STOP IT! Listen, just because one man hurt you doesn't mean another will...which leads me to what I think is the hook, line, and sinker of today...JUST BECAUSE ONE RACE OF MEN hurts you doesn't mean the whole race is the same. I say this because it seem that when a black men hurts a black women, that black woman thinks that the whole race is bad (Men, don't clap about this because your ass is guilty of this too! Hm)

Listen, what I am trying to say is, stop looking for what is wrong with other people and figure out what is wrong with yourself! I am not saying that there aren't any dudes who would hurt women on the regular. However, just because one man hurts you mean you should act like an idiot! It is 2010, it is time to pul a D.O.E! Death of Excuses!!!!

If you want to be "kept" then you better learn how to treat your man! Hell, not to toot my own horn, but I know how to take care of mine, hence why I am not bitter and sad. How are YOU feeling?

Take Care

P.S. I am not bashing women at all nor am I trying to dowgrade how some men treat women. However, in a new year, we need to let go of excuses and fix our own sh*t in the love department!
