Tuesday Grooves: "Daydreaming Again"

Hola Crazitoo!!!!

It's a gloomy Tuesday in NYC so it is fitting that I choose a song that is mellow yet bubbly at the same time.
So check out the new track from the wonderful diva Kid Sister.

So sit back and relax and enjoy this tune!

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

Monday Eye Candy: Battle Of The Chocolate: The Tyler Perry Edition

Happy Monday Crazy World!

Today, I need my crazyitas to make a judgment call. As I was research for today's delcious edition of eye candy, a strong debate seem to spark and I need YOU to help me choose which one gets the W.


I love the Tyler Perry franchise. From the shows to the movies, I have watched them all and I love it!

Another reason why I stay tuned to the shows is because Tyler Perry seem to choose THE SEXIEST AFRICAN AMERICAN ACTORS TO PLAY IN HIS WORK! (THANK YOU LAWD!!!!) So you can see why I am in a bit of a rut to choose who is sexier:


Lamman Rucker VS. Lance Gross

Here are the stats:


Lamman Rucker
Mr. Rucker is the star of the Hit TBS series "Meet the Browns" and is set to star in the highly-anticipated sequel “Why Did I Get Married Too”. The down-to-earth cutie isn't egostatical and has a warm heart. When he met up with Essence Magazine, the actor shared that he is apart of various charities such as the Stephanie Starks HOPE Foundation Celebrity Read Aloud Tour, where he read to elementary students in L.A. Plus, homie has his degree in education and he loves children.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Now doesn't that make your heart melt?



Lance Gross
Mr. Gross plays the sexy yet lazy son on TBS's "House of Payne" and also starred in the movie "Our Family Wedding." The Howard University graduate was a track star (athlete? Delish!) but turned down a professional Track career to pursue his dream in acting. ( A Go-getter too! ::mouth waters::)
If that doesn't make him sexy enough, he is engaged to Eva "the Diva" Pigford.

Two sexy people together makes a sexy ass bunch!

Now that you have seen the stats, who do you think is sexier? Is it the sexy teacher Lamman Rucker or the Track&Field Chocolate Lance Gross?


::::Breaks into a Cold Sweat::::

Who to choose? Who to choose?! Ahhhhhhh

Late Night Cocktail...."The Wet Dream"

It's the weekend!!! 




You know what that means for us here in Crazy land? "SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS." To start your weekend off right, here is a delicious drink that I like to call "The Wet Dream." This yummy drink is so good, you will be having some very dirty thoughts. This drink might look like it is soft but don't let its appearance fool you, it is a creeper. Plus, it has Ciroc in it and you know that gets your home girl loose! Hence, why I don't drink a lot. (That side of me is WAY TOO SCANDALOUS! lmao) 

Check out the recipe for this "dreamy" drink. For more information or ideas on some of your favorite cocktails, check out thebar.com.  (Is it just me or isn't that swirly garnish quite suggestive. I'm just saying.)  



"The Wet Dream" 


Drink Recipe Ingredients:
  • 1 oz. Cîroc Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
  • 1 dash(es) Grand Marnier (25 oz. per bottle)
  • 1.5 oz. cranberry juice
  • .5 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 1 mint leaves
  • 1 oz. champagne

Crazy Music:" I Can Be Your Freak" and Inside Wale's New Video "Diary"

Good Evening My Crazyitas!



This week, this song right here has been my theme song! Every time this song came on, I immediately break out into my "Bitch, I'm the shit now move out my way" walk. Check out Estelle's new music video "Freak." The song has the groovy London house feel with a pinch of "Yaaasss honey." This song couldn't have came out at a perfect time as the weather is getting warmer and Summer fun is on its way. Though this video received a lot of slack because of Estelle painted her face black (I don't understand why but whatev), this song and the video is FIRE.COM!

Peep it now!


and finally....

DMV's flyest rapper Wale was in the concrete jungle of Brooklyn, New York shooting his upcoming music video "Diary." Parlour Magazine got some exclusive pics from the set. I dig it and I am very excited to see the final product.

Check out the pics below. Afterwards, listen to Estelle song again then repeat the cycle.
