In Remembrance of Alana Melanie Williams (OI Fall 08)

Earlier this week, I received extremely sad news...A recent initiate of the Omicron Iota Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, a Sophomore at George Mason University has passed on to become an Ivy on the Wall.

Alana Melanie Williams was riding in a car with 2 of her line sisters (Eskedar and Lauren), and a fellow classmate (Crystal) when they were involved in a serious car crash early Sunday morning. Soror Alana is the only one who did not survive the crash.

The only other details that I hold so far is, as of Monday Morning, is that Soror Eskedar was released from the hospital and is resting at home, Soror Lauren was listed in stable condition and was awaiting MRI results, and Crystal was severely injured and will need surgery on her broken hip.

Please join me in prayer for the speedy recovery of the 3 survivors (physically and mentally) and for the family, friends, and Sorors mourning the untimely death of Soror Alana.

Make sure you tell the ones that you love that you love them every day....You never know when it might be your last chance.

I'm Back!

Let me first start off by apologizing for my hiatus. Things have been a little hectic with work. I'm sure those of you with a J.O.B. can understand that.

Now its time for business....

So, earlier today, I was talking to a near and dear friend of mine about football. I protect his identity, I will not use his real name, we will call him Mr. X. For those of you curious on who this Mr. X may be, I will give you a clue:

Mr. X made a comment to me that the Seattle Seahawks would, I QUOTE, "Beat the Redskins A** today." He also went as far to say, "I can't not wait to watch Seattle whip the Redskins."

So unless football has converted to the PGA Golf scoring system, the Redskins did not get whipped. As a matter of fact, THEY WON!!!

To further throw salt in the wound, Mr. X not only wanted San Francisco to beat the Cowboys, he actually convinced himself that it was going to happen. Well Mr. X, I hate to break the bad news to you, but.....

So once again, unless the NFL switched up the scoring system....Mr. X, you were wrong AGAIN!

Lastly, I would like to address one more incorrect fact Mr. X shared with me. This one may (at least it should) appall most of you. Mr. X had the nerve to say that the San Francisco 49ers had a better record then the Redskins this season. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! I will repeat for the non-believers...

Mr. X had the nerve to say that the San Francisco 49ers had a better record then the Redskins this season. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Aww man....no matter how many times I say, it is just as funny as it was the first time around.

Hey Mr. X....You poor thing, I do not want you to continue to walk around as misinformed as you are, so here you go....

The Washington Redskins are 7-4 and the San Francisco 49ers are 3-8. But Mr. X, I think I know what mistake you have made; I'm sure a 3 year old somewhere has made the same mistake, but just so you know (for future reference), the record is "Win-Loss," so thats why Washington has the better record.

Well Mr. X, I believe I have said all that needs to be said. I just would like to leave you with these parting words:

KICK ROCKS PUNK!!!!!!

TO ALL THE DALLAS COWBOYS FANS....

I HATE RACCOONS!!!

Jungle Fever....I Think I May Be Catching It!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Washington DC Metropolitan area, but there is one slight problem; THE YOUNG SUCCESSFUL AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS WAAAAAAAYYY TOO SMALL!

So that being said, I am thinking about batting for the other team. Not carpet munching, but white boys! I really think that would be a good look for me for the following reasons:

• None of my friends have dated or had a crush on him already




• He may share my love of CBS and ABC sitcoms




• If we were to get married, our kids will have cute curly hair




• His credit probably good




• He won't mind Mojo sleeping in the bed with us




• If our son is a Junior, then I won't have to worry about him not having a "Resume-Friendly" name




• I was told that I can claim it on my taxes




• He would help me bridge the gap with my neighbors

The only problem is, I do not know how to pick out a white boy. This is not like picking out a pair of shoes.

How "down" should he be?

Or maybe not "down" at all!

How big is too big?

How small is too small?

I think I want him to be smart?

But can he have a sense of humor too?

Now that I have evaluated my options, I think I have come up with my ideal white man....

Senseless Crimes

Yesterday I spent my afternoon, along with Erika and Jennifer B, at a good friend's house in Temple Hills, MD. We were out there because her father's life was cut short by some punks. Below is the brief in today's Washington Post:

Man Found Killed in Temple Hills

A man was found fatally shot late Friday near his home in Temple Hills, Prince George's County police said.

Officers responding to a report of a shooting found Charles Leroy Ware, 53, in a neighbor's yard in the 5000 block of Wilkins Drive shortly after 10 p.m., police said. Ware, who had been shot more than once, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Detectives have not identified any suspects or determined a motive in the shooting. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the homicide unit at 301-772-4925. If a tipster wants to remain anonymous, he or she may call Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS. A reward of as much as $25,000 is available for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.

What the article didn't mention was that it was his Wife and VERY young grand-daughter who discovered him laying in the yard dead. What the article didn't mention was that it was is 24 year old daughter who had to call 911.

Stuff like this really makes me sick to my stomach!

REST IN PEACE MR. WARE!

Slam Saturday- D.L. Hughley (Parental Advisory)

My favorite thing about D.L. Hughley's stand up comedies is when he starts talking about the people in the audience.

No Really.....I Want to Know...

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right?

Who came up with the word "lisp"? Were they being cruel or did they suffer from the speech impedement?

Why do they report power outages on TV?

Can cows walk down stairs?

Who was the first person to invent cooking? How did they go about doing it?

Why do they use the sound "beep" to cover up cuss words? Why can't it be a more pleasant sound like birds chirping?

What misinformed individual named hot dogs and hamburgers after meat neither contained?

If you have sex with a prostitute against her will, is it considered rape or shoplifting?

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

All I Want for Christmas....

Tis' da season...ho ho hoes! I just wanted all of you to know what I want for Christmas early enough so there is NO excuse for my list not to be fulfilled!

Vera Wang Princess

Hands down my favorite perfume. Preferbly I would like the whole gift set (body lotion, shower gel, etc), but I will take just the perfume.

IPOD Touch

Ever since I left my IPOD on the plane in Chicago, I have been lost without it. Eventhough it wasn't a Touch, I figured I might as well upgrade on one of you guys' dime!

Sony Cybershot

In pink please! Thanks!

Eye Shadow

In all shades! Also, to accompany my eye shadow, I need brushes and applicators.

Dooney & Bourke

Anyone who REALLY knows me, knows I love my Dooney & Bourke. I am not picky about which handbag & wallet combo you decide to get me.

Nintendo Wii

OH MAN! THESE ARE SO FUN! Oh yea...don't forget to get me the Wii Fit too so I can get my work out on!

Centennial Barbie

Yea, I know I should have one already right?? Well I don't!

Larry Hughes

So whoever decides to get me this one has a huge task on their hands. Not only do you have to get me Larry Hughes, you need to undo history. I need you to undo the fact that he is married with kids, because I am NOT a homewrecker!

BMW 750i Sedan

Does this really need an explanation?

If you count the number of items I have listed above, you will notice that it is only 9. This is because I apparently only have 9 friends, so if each of you get me one of my items off my list...then TAAAA DAAAA! I knew yall could keep up!

Election Day Humor

So people...today is the day that everyone has been anticipating. The day that history will be made no matter what party wins! I know you all are either glued to you tv screen watching CNN, at a Election Day Viewing Party, or going about your evening as if history isn't being made.

No matter what you are doing, I figured I would lighten the mood by providing you with a little election day humor. If you look at the pic/cartoon and not sure why it is funny, then please feel free to visit my blog titled, "A Tribute to the Unwise."

ENJOY!

MY NAME IS JENNIFER RHODAN AND I DO NOT APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!

Last Minute Decision- Election 2008

I want to first start off by apologizing to my fan base of 9 for such a late blog. I was at the Redskins football game (*tears*) and I am just now getting home.

In a few hours I will be heading to the poll to cast my vote. I could've done an absentee ballot since I do not live in the same county that I work in, but being the dork that I am, I want to go to the poll and cast my vote. I had to vote via absentee ballot in the last presidential election (yes, I voted 4 years ago...I didnt jump on the, "OMG! A black man, now I can get registered and vote" bandwagon), because I was in college.

When I was speaking to co-workers today at work, I was suprised to see the number of people who were honestly unsure who they were going to vote for, eventhough they were less than 24 hours away from casting their vote.

In case of the 9 of you (which by the way I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!), are still undecided, I have enclosed an awesome debate that should help with your decision!

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN!

Shot Out Sunday- Nyquil Cold & Flu

It has been going on a week since I've had this nagging cold. I know you may be thinking, "If you were sick, why the hell did you go out for Halloween?" But the most simple answer I can give you is, I was pressed to wear my bumble bee outfit and couldn't wait another year!

So that being said, after my night out, I began to drug myself up with Nyquil Cold & Flu. This stuff is the worste tasting stuff ever, but after 2 or 3 shots (*ahem* I mean doses) of it, you can't even taste it.

After sippin on my sizzurp for 24 full hours, I am beginning to feel a lot better. I still haven't gotten my voice back, but I am working on that. I am pressed to get better for tomorrow because I have to go sit in the cold at FedEx field to watch my Skins whip the Steelers!

Goodnight world!
