Strange but True...
- I'll order a burger with everything on it, and then when I get it, I'll pick off the pickles and onions and eat the pickles separately. (I just recently started saying no onions)
- I can't STAND for my food to touch and if there's a food that has a lot of juice in it (for example, juice from greens or cabbage) I'll get a napkin and soak up the extra so it won't touch the other food on my plate.
- I'm absolutely anal about stuff getting under my nails. I'm always using something to clean up under them...corners of folded paper, the corner of my lipgloss tube, and anything else with a sharp corner that can fit under there! Lol
- Sometimes I feel like my eyelashes are tangled and I'll pull at them until I pull a few out...lol
- I like the sensation of dull pain. If I have a bump or a bruise or something that hurts when I touch it, I'll constantly mess with it so it'll cause a dull pain. I really have a habit of it when it's a nail cuticle that hurts or where I've pulled an eyelash out...lol!
- I still have all of my chicken pox spots from when I was a kid, and they're all very visible.
- I like to chew on straws...even after my drink is gone. (I'm chewing the one from my chocolate milk as I sit here now! Lol)
- I sleep in all of my jewelry and rarely take any of it off. Earrings, rings, watch, and necklace. If I take anything off, it's only to switch it out with another piece.
- I can't STAND the sight of mushrooms....I freak out if I even THINK I see one. They creep me out and the make me immediately start itching. (Ughh! I'm tensed up even thinking about them.)
- I'm horrible at talking on the phone so I very rarely do it. I can count on one hand the number of people I've talked to on the phone for 30 minutes or more. I'd much rather text or write.
- I can buy something (whether it's clothes, shoes, a dvd, a book, etc.) and wait months before I actually wear it, use it, or even open it.
- My room can be a complete mess, and I'll still know where everything is.
- I bounce my left leg often and don't even realize I'm doing it, and when I finally do realize it and stop, I'll start again less than 10 seconds later.
- I love playing with my hair and I love it when other people play with my hair. Mainly because my mom used to do it when I would lay in her lap as a kid. She actually still does it sometimes, when I feel like being a baby...lol! It's a calming effect!
- I have a really bad habit of clicking pens. You know the ones where you press the thing and the pen pops out and press it again and it goes away...well yeah. If I have one of those in my hand I'm gonna be clicking it repeatedly and rapidly...lol! And it's kinda like me bouncing my leg. I won't even realize I'm doing it.
Remembering My Daddy!

What Does This Tell You About Our Economy?
NEW YORK - In a sign of the times, the National Debt Clock in New York City has run out of digits to record the growing figure.
As a short-term fix, the digital dollar sign on the billboard-style clock near Times Square has been switched to a figure — the "1" in $10 trillion. It's marking the federal government's current debt at about $10.2 trillion.
The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits. That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.
The late Manhattan real estate developer Seymour Durst put the sign up in 1989 to call attention to what was then a $2.7 trillion debt.

New Music From Beyonce!
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
And
If I Were A Boy
I'm loving them both! "Single Ladies" kinda reminds me of "Check On It". It's sure to be a club banger! And "If I Were A Boy" was quite a pleasant surprise for me, because this song in not what I call "typical Beyonce". It has more of a rock/alternative sound to it, but it's hot non the less! I'm loving that B is changing it up a little and trying some different material!
AND HERE'S AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS VIDEO!!!

A Few Inspiring Words
The LORD says stop WORRYING and start WORSHIPING! You have to WORSHIP past your WORRY! He has made me a covenant and by the word of the LORD, everything's gonna be alright!
~Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart
This is the message from the Sermon that my Pastor preached on this past Sunday. It spoke VOLUMES to me, so I wanted to share it with you all. You gotta stop worrying about whatever situation it is that has you bound. When it gets to be too much you just gotta stop and say "I give it to YOU God! Remember, there is NOTHING that GOD can't handle! Be Blessed! :-)
Loving This!
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.

Damn...OJ Caught The Charge This Time!!!
(Cause we ALL know that OJ did it!)
O.J. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after he was acquitted of murder in 1995, was found guilty Friday of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson, 61, could spend the rest of his life in prison. Sentenced was set for Dec. 5.
A weary and somber Simpson released a heavy sigh as the charges were read by the clerk in Clark County District Court. He was immediately taken into custody.
The Hall of Fame football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun.
The verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was cleared of murdering his ex-wife and a friend of hers in Los Angeles in one of the most sensational trials of the 20th century.Read the full story here
A Vibe & Adidas Collabo!
Vibe Magazine's 15th Anniversary collaboration with Adidas, the Adidas XVIBE Forum, was officially released on Sept. 25th, at select Adidas Originals stores worldwide. The overall design of the Adidas XBIVE 15th Anniversary Forum is inspired by the year 1993, the year that Vibe Magazine was founded. The Black upper symbolizes Power. To mark the 15th Anniversary of Vibe Magazine, Vibe dropped their infamous JUICE issue, a symbol of urban power. The upper is insipired by the early 90's wave of high end Italian fashion that hit Hip-Hop with artists like the late great Notorious B.I.G and Tupac rhyming and flossing in their Versace and gators. The insole features the text from Vibe's first letter from the editor. It reads:
“It’s took about 15 years for the mainstream to figure out that hip-hop is the most important music culture to emerge since rock ‘n’ roll, that its how a new generation communicates news, information, attitude, politics, fashion, style, rage, hope. It took Quincy Jones about 15 minutes to convince the people at TIME Publishing Ventures that hip-hop needed a voice. We think that Voice should be VIBE.”
The Adidas XVIBE 15th Anniversary Forum will also be available on adidas.com soon.Article Source : kixandthecity.com (Visit the site to see more pix)
