Tyler Perry: Brilliance!

Has anybody ever noticed what a powerful and clever and talented man tyler perry is? He is powerful bc his playwrights, which turn into movies reach sooooo many people across the nation. He is talented bc of what he has the ability to write. He is clever bc he uses his ability to write 2 get people connected... and under it all...in every story God is in there. && people don't realize it but that's his way of bringing in the "regular" people who don't know God to question if there is one, which is a good thing bc at least they can explore the option and that is their oppurtunity to get to know God which is all they need. I want to give a big upps to Tyler Perry for doing that!

In awe,

Cee.

in hail to Michael Jackson--

RIP MJ (1958-2009).

fashion expertise,

Cee.

sometimes I wonder.

so i guess I have a mouthful today.

but uhm i do admire Solange's ability to express herself freely beyond human approval. But sometimes I am at a lost for words.

until later,

so i've been taking the bus a lot lately

&& its not that bad. I mean I used to take the bus every day for about 5 years. I do have a car, but sometimes a bus is less of a hassle. For instance, when you go downtown...there's meters everywhere that cost like a quarter for every 5 minutes or something like it. Then there's the parking lots that cost like 4 or 5 dollars for every 20 minutes. Its ridiculous. So I'd rather just pay my $1.25 there and back to take the bus.

On the other hand...when you don't volunteer to take the bus...its not the Bizz.

So the other day when my auntie Kim was going to the Fox Hills Mall to take my sister on a shopping spree. She wanted to go the day she was leaving so we were short for time. Since she had a rental car, the initial plan was for her to meet my mother somewhere so my mom could pick me and my sister up because my car was at home. But knowing Auntie Kim, I should have been more prepared. Auntie Kim took until the very last minute to come out of the mall (not to mention we split up and she wouldn't answer her phone ugh!). Then she had to turn her rental car in an hour early (which was by the airport). Now this wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't on my period that morning and my cramps were kicking in at the wrong time with no medicine to help cope. So I called my mom who was was irritated that auntie kim was taking so long so she went to sleep and told me to take the bus. So me and my sister took 2 shuttle busses at the airport to get to 232 bus stop (which was on break for 30 mins). So we sat on the floor waiting for it to start up. Then the bus ride was like an hour long (which we went to sleep on) and then got off and walked uphill for 10 mins. UGH! I was so pissed and in pain. Not the bizz...anywho. I just felt like telling about that.

with lots to say,

Cee.

discovering something new.

so at takeover today I discovered the beautiful voice behind a young man named PJ Morton. For those who already know him...I am aware I must be very late. However for those who don't, check him out. His voice is irresistable. So go check him out.

Cee.

was it just me,

or was the 2009 BET Awards super wack this year? It clearly shows that most of the show was improvised at the last minute. I mean don't get me wrong, I love Michael Jackson and all the oldies that were reminesced along with the Jackson memories...but not when 2/3 of the award show is old school. && then for those who did perform that were modern...were weak. Uhm -- Keri Hilson was cute, but she was doing too much. I appreciate her efforts -- trying to dance and get all that in, but she's not that experienced. She can't do all that stuff Beyonce be doing, because Beyonce been doing this for 10 years. Keri boo...this is your begining. I know you wanna come out big, but we like your vocals. Just hit us with those bomb vocals...and I think we will appreciate it much more than you trynna come off as a Rhianna right off the back. I mean even Rhianna didn't start off that way. She was sweet and not well known in the beginning. She eased her way in there. That's how it works for all of us. Only a selective few can make a big entrance and be accepted...but idk...maybe Keri just needs some more time. But ur hurrrr is the bizzzneezz tho. I want that. I need that. It's fly. haha.

Now onto Drake. Now if I wasn't on this Christian thing right now...I would have to say I absolutely love Drake and every song he ever made. However at the BET awards...uhmmmm his performance was so wack. He needs a little more time on him too. I need some more entertainment. Maybe its just me. Maybe the same things just don't entertain me anymore. Is it just me? or is talent lacking here? I mean like Keri with her vocals, Drake is ridiculously clever and a super dope lyricist, but his performance was lacking. So yeah...that's my 2 cents.

Hov...he was coo. I was entertained.

Mary Mary...uhm one of them Mary's wasn't representing God with them tight leather pants just screaming for attention to her derierre. But hey we all human. We do what we do. I should be the last one to talk with my huge behind lol and the tight jeans I wear. But oh well. I'm juss saying what I feel thats it, that's all.

I had to get that out because I kept my mouth shut for along time about alot of things. lol.

Just this once,

Cee.

whew...did u see lil mama's hair?

enuff said.

until latez,

Cee.

ensemble numero 9.

coo.

today's adventures,

turned out to be dissapointing. I gave up my sleep this morning to go to the Downtown Library. I got there...and I found all these good books I was ready to read. I had like 8. I was all ready to check them out and they said I had $63 worth of fines! UGH!!!! i was so mad. So i had to leave because I was not about to pay $63. Then after waiting forever in the cold with aching feet, the freaggin 445 came and got me back to where my car was located. I cracked the window to my car so it wouldn't be so hot and guess what? A bird crapped all in the crack of the window so bird crap was splattered all over my back seats! UGH! My camera died mid day so I didn't capture much of this...althought I wish I had. But as I was walking I saw a young boy picking up, what looked to be his brother out of the car and placing him in a wheel chair. The boy seemed to be about 23 years old. He seemed to hardly be able to move as his head appeared heavier than his entire body. At this time, I realized that I need to suck up my irritation because I am extremely blessed. Things in life could be much worse. Yet, I have car, a job lined up, a garaunteed future...so why should I ever complain? God has kept me in good standing and has created a beautiful individual...so never should I walk around mad at the world because I wanted to read a couple of books and my car got crapped on. So at that moment, I plugged my zune in my ears, turned up "love him" by Crystal Aikin and cheered myself up. I am happy. I am alive. I am healthy. Get over it Chantelle! Anywho...some of those books I was going to read were some good books I discovered at the Christian Bookstore the other day. My friend Bree let me borrow her book, Authentic Beauty, by Leslie Ludy...which was an excellent read.

This book was about waiting to find the guy that's really right for you so that you can reach the most purest, beautiful love on Earth that was meant for you, by God. The author has found hers by reaching deeper intimacy with God. Thus, God sent her an earthly prince charming. I was encouraged to stop messing around with these doe-doe heads that call themselves men and trust God to send me my REAL prince charming. && I'm excited to see what God has in store for me. Some of the other books I wanted to read (but I couldn't check out at the library) included:

Sister, Ink by Rebeca Seitz
Christy and Todd: the College Years by Robin/Jones/Gunn

Answering the Guy Questions by Leslie Ludy

Mixed Bags by Melody Carlson

These books all leave inspirational messages relating to God, in your head. I especially like the mesages about how women don't need to degrade themselves by dressing appealing to males )by their standards). Buttcracks and cleavage are not necessary to show your real beauty. && I plan to continue to live by my inside beauty. By my heart, my personality, and my love for God will stand for my beauty and not my booty or my chest. Ladies...you feel me? Well you should.

From beauty within,

Cee.

semi-after party??

Triflin' Venice Beach bathroom euh. Now to the good stuff:

well after I graduated, my family went on a little adventure. We went to Leimert Park to eat at this little Jamaican restaurant. Then we went shopping. The next morning we all had to wear white and black for our family photo shoot. The pics came out good but the hard copies aren't developed yet. It was all fun. Especially considering that my family flew from Ohio and Texas to see me graduate. Then we went to Venice Beach and had some fam bam bonding time. IT was coo...Here we are at the Jamaican restaurant. I had the Jamaican hot wings and the creole bbq shrimp....mmmm. delicious! Then there's Venice Beach. I got some weird pics but I decided to take some random pics. I thought they were "kinda" coo.
