PMS Can Suck It/Neat Web Links

Holy crap. Can anyone say grumpy. Today I didn't make it to work because my body was so exhausted from stress/hormones. My whole afternoon was spent crashed out on my girlfriends couch with her cat by my side. I guess I just needed a day to rest and hibernate from the place called "out there." It doesn't help that by beloved is basically a million miles away & my one year clean date is around the corner. At the same time in the last few days I've been reliving the awfulness of my last relationship a year ago and vicodin usage that went with it, combined with the triggering affects of being without my sweetheart and some funky sense of abandonment. Not too mention in less than a month I turn 32 and have been really feeling lost about career stuff. Anyway though I'll have to work my ass off this week to make up the time missed from today but I hope this time inside will keep me fueled for the duration of the unpleasant spike in hormones.

So right after I woke up this afternoon I heard the radio DJ mention that Kevin Federline is going to sell a sex tape he made with miss Britney, unless she forks over more money. Read this article for the scoop. Though I'm not a fan of Brit I think that crazy soon to be ex. of hers is quite a dick & I hope that girl grows up a little and moves on from her terrible mistake.

Now for something a bit more interesting. I was on racialicious and ran into some very intriguing articles. So some damn fool jive turkey mofo came up with a brilliant tee shirt. It has a smiley face with a fro that says "I'm hung like a black man." See the blurb on it. Just gross!

Speaking of gross inventions this article from variety.com tells us all about VH1's new reality show coming in January called "The White Rapper Show." Oh yes it gets even more odd. Some of the "challenges" for the contestants include trying to "mesh" with black culture by apparently selling sno-cones in clubs and rapping before and audience of bonafide black folk. It looks like there is a very real possibility of the network trying to play into stereotypes for ratings just like this seasons Survivor. Ya know the "black folks are oh so scary" or "white folks have no soul" crap. Errg!

Finally a funny. This from The Angry Black Woman. Hilarious. Thank you Amazon for fulfilling all your customers needs!

So there are some new sites being added to my side bar. Please check these out.

• Colours of Resistance and has some great articles including one called 25 Ways to Tokenize or Alienate a non-white Person Around You and another good one, Stop Saying This Is a Nation of Immigrants!
• Another great one is Women of Color Blog. Her tag line is "We are the Women the World Requires." So damn true! Her blog has many you tube videos and she says it like it is. Thank Goddess! There's a great tag for Healthy Cooking While Poor.
• Finally a new favorite for me is the blog queering me. Her latest post is on all white dating. No way you say. Well go see for yourself. I'm borrowing the Cost of War thing. Oh and she has a great post on a rally these white kids from The University of California had over the fact that they are the minority there. *sigh*

Well that's it from me. Here's to a peaceful week and a year (on Wednesday) clean and very sober.
