My Life: As Seen on TV

Were do I begin?....Well my mother and her sister (my aunt obviously) had a fight a few years ago and have not been in speaking terms since. Aside from this my aunt has been diagnosed with Cancer and its killing my Mom that she still doesn't speak to her Sis.

Soooooo......

Well, I wrote my Aunt a letter telling my Aunt that my mother said she was sorry. And then I told my Mom that my Aunt said she was sorry and missed my Mom....What??!!.... It worked on every TV show in existance. But seriouly pray for me ya'll. Because I don't know what would me think it's a good idea to do this.

Medicare Don't Care about Poor Folk

Medicare won't pay for hospital mistakes

WASHINGTON - Medicare will stop paying the costs of treating infections, falls, objects left in surgical patients and other things that happen in hospitals that could have been prevented.

The rule change announced this month is among several initiatives that the administration says are intended to improve the accuracy of Medicare's payment for hospital patients who receive acute care and to encourage hospitals to improve the quality of their services.

"Medicare payments for inpatient services will be more accurate and better reflect the severity of the patient's condition," Herb Kuhn, the acting deputy commissioner of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a statement.

The rule identifies eight conditions — including three serious types of preventable incidents sometimes called "never events" — that Medicare no longer will pay for.
Those conditions are: objects left in a patient during surgery; blood incompatibility; air embolism; falls; mediastinitis, which is an infection after heart surgery; urinary tract infections from using catheters; pressure ulcers, or bed sores; and vascular infections from using catheters.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it also would work to add three more conditions to the list next year.

"Our efforts in this arena and in other payment rules are to ensure that CMS is an active puchaser, not passive payer, of health care," Jeff Nelligan, a spokesman for the agency, said Saturday. He said the rule "underscores our drive toward quality, efficiency and integrity in the hospital setting."

Hospitals in the future will be expected to pick up the cost of additional treatment required by a preventable condition acquired in the hospital.

"The hospital cannot bill the beneficiary for any charges associated with the hospital-acquired complication," the final rules say.

Congress in 2006 gave the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the power to prevent Medicare from giving hospitals higher payment for the extra costs of treating a patient when infections and other preventable conditions occur during a hospital stay.

.....And the poor people will continue to suffer.

Basically if your poor at a crappy hospital, with crappy doctors, hope the hospital will pay for the damage they've cause you or that you can afford a lawyer to sue.

Dating: Some Thing Like A Good Guy

I haven't done a dating post in a while. No, not because I have a lack of subject matter. (shout out to Mama for the good genes.) But quite frankly I'd rather plunk my eyebrows, then acknowledge certain folk. btw - My Arch Game is Sick!!!

Moving on. I guess you can say I have two guys trying to "holla @ me." There not the only two, but they do share something in common. They both think they're "Good Guys." From what I can gather they believe themselves to be good guys because they have jobs and did not say, 'yo mama let me hit.' I'll save the speech about not praising people for what they're supposed to do.

Good Guy #1: Let's call this guy Matt. I've worked with Matt for about 2 years now and it took him a year and a half to approach me just to say hi. NOW, don't give me that unapproachable speech about women being intimidating. I'm hella nice..*blank stare*... at work....for a paycheck. No. I really am nice though. I speak to EVERYONE. Even the man that talks like the next black sniper and the crazy Croatian cleaning lady who hits people with the vacuum. ....wait what was I talking about... oh yeah Matt. His game plan was to sneak into panties by pretending to be my friend. *ring the alarm* A Good Guy doesn't pretend to be your friend. Hello!!!

One Friday he basically told me he wanted the Cookie and I told him

a.) I don't deal with co-workers. Period.
b.) He really just wasn't ready.

Matt laughed, they called me at like 8pm on a Saturday to hang out at a club with him and his friends . Unfortunately for him, S.K. has a life and plans of her own and 8pm on Saturday I'm already booked :oP

Monday was cool we chit-chatted about our weekends. Tuesday, Matt no longer puts aside 45mins of his day to talk to me, but he now makes odd comments and circles me when talking. Yes, he walks circles around me or half circles if I'm seated.

I wanna wrap this up by saying 2 things: 1.) This is why I don't deal with people at work personally. Imagine if it got deeper than conversation. 2.) He would preach to me that he was a good man blah blah but to me pretending to be my friend to fvck is just as bad and the dude on the corner. Except it took your lower self-esteem ass 3 weeks of build up to say what the guy on the corner said in 30 minutes. Think about it!!

Good Guy #2: This one is Keith. Our families are really close so I've seen him on and off through out my life. Recently I saw him again at a family function, and he's been sweating me, like crazy, ever since. Keith was giving me the good man speech hard. HARD!!!! How I need a man like him in my life. A good, honest, hard working man. All of this while I'm admittedly letting him caress my leg. So finally, Keith ask, "what's up with me and you seeing where this goes?"

Pause....Before I continue let me say this, my mother is a gossip and already told me that Keith lives with his girlfriend and wants to marry her and have her as the mother of his children. Yep.

So I look Keith in his lovely brown eyes and tell him that I don't think his girlfriend Amanda would appreciate us dating. Keith stuttered, told his version of but we're like "roommates." I laughed in his face.

Moral of these stories beware of the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

News & Music: R. Kelly Trial Date

In honor of Judge Vincent Gaughan setting R. Kelly's court date for September 17, 2007, where Kelly will face 14 counts of child pornography - I have decided to write a song to celebrate. Like to hear it? Here it goes.....
.
.
*clears throat to song*
.
.

I used to think that I would get away
And life was nothing but an remixed song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm scared of Bubba’s loving arms
.
If I am guilty, I can appeal it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

.
I believe I’m Fuucked
I believe I ouuuut of luuuccck
I think about it every night and day
Spread my cheeks and get tapped away
I believe I’m sore
I see me running through that jail cell door
I believe I’m fuccked
I believe I’m fuccked
I believe I’m fuccked
.
See I am on the verge of cell lock down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are men here 4 life I must out run
But first I know they will piss on me, oh
.
If I am guilty, I can appeal it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it


.
Ok I'm done. I can't stop laughing long enough to keep typing.

Music: MTV's Hottest Rapper's

The kind people over at MTV have come up with a list of the "Hottest MC's in the Game". *chuckles* By the "Game" I'm guessing they mean the last 2 yrs. I'm still trying to figure out what their grading but here's the list, and of course my smart ass comments :o)

.

10. Jim Jones - ok so we're off to a terrible start. Are they serious? Jim Jones can't rap. Period. He says himself that he can't rap. He says he's a "entertainer." The hottest thing Jimmy ever did was "Ballin" and that jumpshot thing - so WTF happened here??

.

9. Common - I'm disgusted I can't believe he's #9....Ok wait... I got distracted. I was thinking about my list of rappers who could get it. Yeah he can stay at 9.

.

8. 50 Cent - hmm this just doesn't seem right. *shrugs* oh well

.

7. Jay-Z - bwhahahaha Jay was being a shady bytch to every other rapper on Def Jam and he still couldn't get higher than 7??? ROTFLMAO!!!!

.

6. Young Jeezy - You should have Jimmy's spot, and he should be re-taking the Hygiene Class he missed in High School. You 2nd album was weak like Al Reynold's wrist. Yeah I said it.

.
off topic: I really not ok with black people were red Monkey Jeans, and paying major $$$$ for them.
.

5. Kanye West - I'm Ok with this.
.

4. Andre 3000 - Good pick - but what about Big Boi. In my head they are still joined at the hip.
.

3. Game - I never get what people find interesting in his "talent"
.
2. T.I. - Lollipop Guild Stand Up!!!
.

1. Lil Wayne - Yeah, he's hot out there. No jokes here.
.
.

My personal Honorable mention:

.
Kim Kardashian - the girl can rap her mouth around a D.....ok ok I'll be good.
.
T-Pain - His last album had a lot of hot club song. And there's no-one out there that can convince me that he ass is a singer, thus he's a rapper.

J. Holiday - Bed

I've been waiting for the video to come out for this J Holiday song "Bed"
....*sigh* he's such a cutie.

Check out the video and tell me what you think.

Eww Yuck Boobies

Bwhahahaha.... as if have back tittays were enought there not even perky!!!

News: Iraqi's PM wants US 2 Leave

I have a question:
.
Lets say you had a friend going through really tough times. And you were trying your best to help them get there life together. So much so that your home situation is now having problem. Ok, so one day while at your friends house trying to raise their spirits, they turn to you and say, "You know what? You've been here long enough and your making things worse. You can leave now. But before you leave give me that six pack of cervezas and the money you were going to spend to take me to the club - just give me the cash and bounce."
.
I know what I would do. Take my ish and go home!!
.

BAGHDAD - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saturday that the Iraqi army and police are capable of keeping security in the country and American troops can leave “any time they want,” though he acknowledged the forces need further weapons and training.
.
So you need US intellgence, weapons and (real talk) money - but you want our troops out of Iraq? Okaaay then. *scratches head*
.

Al-Maliki said difficulty in enacting the measures [to regain stability] was “natural” given Iraq’s turmoil. But one of his top aides, Hassan al-Suneid, rankled at the assessment, saying the U.S. was treating Iraq like “an experiment in an American laboratory.” He sharply criticised the U.S. military, saying it was committing human rights violations, embarassing the Iraqi government with its tactics and cooperating with “gangs of killers” in its campaign against al-Qaida in Iraq. source

* * * * *

*sighs* Without getting too deep into politics. Leaving Iraq right now, to me is an easy call. No-One want the US there, and it seems that were doing more harm that good in every aspect of this war. When government officals in Iraq start crying "human rights violations" it can only be down hill from there.

.
.....I realize G.W. Bush is trying to ride this war out until the end of his presidency but I truly don't believe his legacy is worth all the damaged cause. Oh and you know Bin "Diddy of the Middle East" Laden just released another video right? But he's not our major concern.

My Life: MySpace & Friends

I'm not a big fan of MySpace or these others "friend" sites and here are my reason:

.

1.) I'm a paranoid Jamaican & listing my friends with photos, locations, ranking etc. on a well organized site for the CIA sounds dumb!!!

.

2.) I don't like random people trying to "holla" at me in real life but an on-line "holla" should be different?

.......oh and if you motivations to holla at me are:

.......you did a zip code search and I'm within 5 miles of you or

.......you find the pics of me crossed eyed drunk with girls sexy

Keep it moving - For Real

.

3.) Hello MySpace created a whole new type of hoe!!! MySpace Jump Off!!! Are you serious??!!

.

4.) Most of my really close friends are the kind of people to say, "why didn't you tell me that you sent me an e-mail? I would have checked it." So keeping up with FaceBook is a major reach.

.

5.) If as my friend you need to be ranked 1-8. . . . . yeah we can't be friends No Mo'.

.

6.) If we had beef in school and you just so happened to come across my profile - just keep going. Cause a friend request won't stop me from being a petty ass bytch who remembers why you pissed me off in the first place.

.

7.) And if we were really supposed to be friends I'd run into you at the bar or while shopping.

.

8.) These friends sites created a whole new kind of dating stupidity. I'll give quote as examples:

"I saw pics of you and him/her. And don't even lie because you just got that tattoo!!!"

"Why is -ex's name- leaving you last night was great comments??!!"

...you see where this was going.

.

9.) Beyonce is not you friend!!! Shyt she's not even Kelly's friend.

.

10.) I worked very hard all my life to give off the aura of a stuck-up bytch, and I'm not give that up for Tom!!

...

......but these are just my opinions. I'll still lurk on your pages. :oP

News: Black Dog Syndrome

Discriminating Against Dogs: 'Black Dog Syndrome'
Shelters Nationwide Overcrowded With Black Dogs

.
Many loving pooches in need of good homes nationwide are being overlooked and underadopted at area shelters, and they all share one thing in common: the color of their fur.It's a phenomenon called "black dog syndrome" and it has pet advocates worried.

.

David Cuccia, a local artist, is a softie when it comes to dogs. They hang around his art studio and are commonly featured in his artwork. His best friend, Jasmine, is lucky to be alive. When he went looking for a dog at the pound, he was told that because so many people are afraid of large, black dogs, those dogs are more likely to be left in shelters than other animals."She said the black dogs have a real stigma," Cuccia said. source

.

* * * * *

.

Damn you know things are messed up when Black dogs are dealing racism. And the sad things this is a real issue. I googled Black Dog Syndrome and was shocked by how many articles there were. But if I weren't totally disgusted by the idea of picking up dog shyt on a regular basis, I would do right thing and adopt a chocolate canine.

ParisHilton on LarryKing

Review : Paris on Live w/ Larry King

Sorry dear reader but I'm caught up in the hype *shrugs*

.

After spending 29 days in jail Paris has her first interview with Larry King and I plan to criticize as much of it as possible. :o)

.

-First off she took her blue contacts out (brown eyes make one smart and classy who knew) and I think she taped her wonky eye in place.

.

-Her quoting "Do your time, don't let the time do you." LOL the last time I heard that a "friend" was going to jail for 5 yrs for a gun charge.... What like you don't know people like that.

.

-Oh and Claustrophobia was her medical condition. YEA RIGHT!!! Try with drawl from Coke!!

.

- OK she went to MTV Awards to distract the media from her going to jail. I guess that worked since there aren't any pics of you going to jail the 1st time. But hearing Sarah Silverman say you'd suck a prison bar the same way you would a D is classic and I bet your ass wish you stayed home. hahaha

.

- Paris said she knows there's a man out there for her that will ignore her past and love her regard less. *side-eye * bwhahahahahaha I really don't think I should be laughing this much.

.

- Paris says she NEVER did drugs *rolls eyes* Just her some of her friends do drugs.

.

-btw, her church lady dress is killing me right now.

.

-Larry King is a tool.

.

-Paris says she spiritual, read the bible everyday in jail and went to Catholic school (explains sooo much). But when Larry asked what her favorite Bible passage was she said, "umm?....I don't have a favorite. I just read."

.

Hopefully that'll be the end.....

Woman jailed for testicle attack

A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard. She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That's yours."

The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but "open
relationship" with Monti towards the end of May last year. The pair remained on
good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back
for drinks with friends at Mr Jones's house. An argument ensued and Mr Jones
said there was a struggle between them. In his statement, Mr Jones said she
grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard". He added: "That caused my underpants to
come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones's testicle
into her mouth and try to swallow it. She choked and spat it back into her hand
before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable
to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she
had done. She said: "It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and
the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way
a violent person."

* * * * *

LMAO....Sorry men I don't mean to laugh but this is hella funny to me. "That's yours".... How drunk does on have to be to let all this craziness go down?... So the moral of this story is if a drunk woman wants the D, give her the D.

Mos Def - Ms Fat Booty

*When in doubt about what to post - Hit Up YouTubE!!!*

Black in Both Sides is one of those "real Hip Hop" Albums people keep saying we need more of. Yeah I know he's still talking about booty - but he didn't in a classy way.

It's only June 3rd, and all ready George Bush has done more for the world than you. Bushy has declared June to be Caribbean-American Heritage Month. Yeah I don't know why either but as a Jamaican I'm mildly interested and curious to know why my nation didn't get its own week - but I digress. This is Bushy Proclamation:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2007 as Caribbean-American Heritage Month. I encourage all Americans to learn more about the history and culture of Caribbean Americans and their contributions to our Nation. Source

I kid you not this is shortest proclamation I've EVER READ!!. When they made it Yankee Day in NYC that mess was 3times longer than this. So now I must bring my question to you dear reader.
George W. Bush declare June to be Caribbean Heritage Month because:
a.) of his great love of Caribbean people, culture and rum.
b.) f*** up his legacy as president so badly that he's grabbing at straws for anything good.
c.) Sending Colin Powell Front row tickets AND backstage pass to see Beyonce wasn't enough to save their friendship.
d.) Bush is just as confused and surprised by this as you are.

Rosie..Umm You've Been PhotoShopped

I received this lovely photo of Rosie via e-mail. And it made laugh hard as hell!!! Rosie you have been done Dirrty! Hahaha
