How’s It Going Down – DMX
This song reminds me of a certain time in my life. *Sigh* good times…
Kissing You – Total
Remember back in the day when you used to make mixtapes for your crushes/significant others? C’mon… I know I’m not the only one that did silly stuff like that.
*edit – I just realized that this video don’t make no damn sense! What was up with that crime scene thing?
Ask of You – Raphael Saadiq
ooh wee…. Higher Learning… big crush on Omar Epps back in the day
I could do this all day but good things must come to an end. I don’t know how I managed to do all these Throwback Thursdays without ever posting any Boyz II Men videos!
End of the Road
I was rubbed, then beckoned…
I went out this past Saturday to an “All White Affair” meaning that everyone has to come dressed in white. I’m not a fan of white clothes; I don’t mind tops but I hate wearing white bottoms. I had to go because it was my friend’s birthday so I spent most of last week trying to find affordable white clothing that I might actually wear again.
All that trouble and the party was boring. It was marketed to be “mature” and “upscale” so most of the people there were too busy posing and frontin’ rather than trying to have fun. Or maybe they just didn’t want to get their white clothes dirty…
Then there was the guy that told me he was an “international stockbroker” and offered me drinks from the plethora of bottles at his table. I tried to make conversation by saying “maybe we can trade stock tips” to which he replied, “I’m an international stockbroker!!! I sell stocks in the US, Canada…etc etc.” I can’t remember all the countries. He also showed me this HUMONGOUS bottle of Belevedere that I guess they were saving for later because it was under the table. I didn’t even know they sold them that big! He told me he had a place down on the waterfront and offered to take me out on his jetski but…. I didn’t believe him. I declined the drinks but got a bottle of water instead.
Then, the girls and I went outside for a bit. Even though nobody was dancing much, it was still hot as hell inside. My damn heel kept going through the wood floors out on the patio, between the wood pieces. It’s hard to do a cute walk when I’m tiptoeing across the patio 
I guess somebody thought I was cute because I was standing there minding my own business when I felt something slither around my waist. I looked to my left to see this creepy dude attempt to give me come hither eyes while beckoning me to come over with his finger. I was already in a pissy mood since I wasn’t having much fun so I gave him my “have you lost your damn mind” look and turned away to tell my friend. We both turned back and laughed as he slithered away. I know, it’s mean but really… how was he really expecting to me to react? Am I supposed to just run over and be like “Here I am! Thanks for molesting me!”
Next weekend is Canada Day long weekend and I will NOT be going to any clubs.
Another recall…
Tainted toothpaste sparks probe
From Tuesday’s Globe and Mail
June 19, 2007 at 2:04 AM EDT
Health Canada is investigating suspected counterfeit toothpaste found in Southern Ontario that is similar to a product at the centre of a health recall throughout the United States because of fears it contains an ingredient used in antifreeze.
Steve Janke, 40, bought a tube of what purports to be Colgate brand toothpaste labelled as being manufactured in South Africa from a dollar store in Guelph, Ont.
The packaging was missing the French translation found on most Canadian products and the 100-millilitre tube was labelled as being manufactured by Colgate-Palmolive (PTY) Ltd. [CL-N] in South Africa.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide alert last week after finding similarly labelled tubes in four states. Some contained the chemical diethylene glycol (DEG), a cheap glycerin substitute found in antifreeze and brake fluid. (read more)
Geeze… can’t trust anything… not cat food, contact solution, condoms….
What next? Soon, I’ll be forced to move to a cabin in the hills and grow my own vegetables.
“Independent woman”
I like to fancy myself as being an “independent woman” in the sense that I pay my own bills, got my own place, working in my chosen career field and don’t mooch off my parents (well not since I graduated from university anyway 
).
However, sometimes it can get tiring trying to conquer the world by myself. The pro is that I don’t really have to answer to anybody which makes me feel very free. The con is that sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day to do everything.
Aside from going out on Saturday to the Luminato festival down on Harbourfront, I had people drop by all weekend since I’m now officially everyone’s “downtown connect.” It’s funny, even though I talk a lot and appear to be very social, I do like to spend a lot of “me time” too. I’m not use to entertaining and going out 3 days in a row, especially after I started workng full-time, so by Sunday night I was a bit tired.
Then I had to stay late at my day job today and didn’t come home til almost 8pm. After I ate dinner and did some stuff around the house, it was already 9 o’clock!
Then my damn internet was down so I had to call Rogers to see what was up. Lucky for me it didn’t take long to fix because I knew I had emails waiting for me. I just got another freelance contract to do another site last week so I had to write a bunch of emails to my client to sort some stuff out. Then my other two clients both contacted me today as well to do some updates for them.
I think after I finish with this new client, I’m not going to take any more contracts for a little while. That’s what I said before accepting this contract but when someone contacts me with interest in hiring me, it’s hard to say no!
I don’t know how married people with kids do it. I hardly have time for myself!
Anyway, blah blah blah…. boring ass post, I know, but I just had to get that off my chest.
Being single ain’t so bad…
Not to make light of this situation but stuff like this makes me glad that I’m single.
Man Who Bit Off Girlfriend’s Nose Could Be Declared Dangerous Offender
Wednesday June 6, 2007
A man who bit off his girlfriend’s nose and spit it out during a horrifying fit of jealous rage could be declared a dangerous offender. Angel Jones was found guilty of aggravated assault after the outrageous attack in 2002, but now prosecutors want to assure he can be locked up indefinitely.
On Wednesday, the court heard the frantic 911 call his girlfriend made after the brutal assault.
“He’s going to kill me. He says he’s going to hurt me,” she sobbed.
On Wednesday she read an impact statement, saying, “No one can know what it’s like to not recognize yourself. It’s like I don’t have a face.”
Jones, who is representing himself, responded by asking her, “Are you angry?”
She replied: “Yes. Words cannot describe how I feel.”
The victim, who was 26 years old at the time, can’t be identified.
Police found her nose on the floor, but doctors were unable to reattach it. She has had several reconstructive surgeries and still needs many more.
At his initial trial, the jury quickly rejected Jones’ preposterous claim his girlfriend’s nose ‘fell off’ after her body became brittle because she was taking weight loss medicine at the time.
Jones has since been charged with assault on at least 7 other occasions. The hearing continues Thursday when the court will hear from a psychologist.

Some may say there’s always two sides to the story but I can’t even think of anything she could have done to deserve this. And the guy is representing himself too? Crazy.
Sigh
Hi-Five Lead Singer Tony Thompson Found Dead
By Roman Wolfe
Date: 6/1/2007 3:30 am
Hi-Five lead singer Tony Thompson was found dead yesterday (June 1) in his hometown of Waco, Texas.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that Thompson’s body was found outside of an apartment complex around 10:00 pm.
He allegedly died of drug overdose, but the cause of death has to be confirmed.
Thompson and Hi-Five hit #1 with 1990’s “I Like The Way (The Kissing Game),” which was produced by R&B/Hip-Hop producer Teddy Riley and taken from the group’s debut, Hi-Five.
The album also produced singles like “I Can’t Wait Another Minute” and “I Just Can’t Handle It.”
Hi-Five broke up around 1994 but reunited and released a new album The Return in 2006 on Thompson’s record label N’Depth.
Thompson also collaborated with Port Arthur, Texas rapper Bun-B on his 2006 single “Rock Ya Body,” which was produced by Play-N-Skillz.
Thompson, was working on new material for an upcoming album as well.

I would have expected to hear this about one of the members of Jodeci or something since they are looking so busted these days… Anyway, I guess I still remember Tony Thompson in the 90s singing about the kissing game. So sad.
