I love Emma!!!



She gets cuter by the day!! This picture is a month old already! Her baby acne has cleared up and her hair is growing in a little. Maybe I could get her a baby wig while her hair is in that transitional phase. She smiles and laughs and thinks its really funny when she farts or burp. I get so excited about every little thing that she does. It's so amazing that everything is brand new to her. She's experiencing everything for the first time. She grabbed and hit her toy the other day and now she does it all the time. She had no clue that her hand could make things move and then she just discovered it. It's so amazing I can't get over it!!

AWWWW SHIT! Mary J, 50 cent and Timberland caught juicin!!



Artists and drugs
Five artists identified in Albany probe join Rambo actor as recent buyers of steroids

First published: Sunday, January 13, 2008

Mary J. Blige, 37
The Bronx native's first album -- "What's the 411?" -- debuted in 1992. Since then Blige has produced seven multiplatinum albums and won six Grammy Awards. In December 2006 Blige won nine Billboard Music Awards for her album "The Breakthrough."

Between August 2005 and January 2007 Blige allegedly received multiple shipments from an Orlando pharmacy of Jentropin, a human growth hormone, and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Clay Gym in New York City.

At least one of the orders was mailed under the name "Marlo Stanfield," which is the character name of a drug kingpin on the Baltimore-based HBO crime drama "The Wire."

Blige's representative did not respond to a request for comment.

Curtis James Jackson III, 50 Cent, 32
Jackson started dealing drugs at the age of 12 in Queens but an arrest on weapons and drug charges and a sentence in a shock incarceration program led him to abandon the street life and gravitate to a career in rap music. The stage name 50 Cent, Curtis has said, underscores his effort to "change" his life.

Jackson is alleged to have received shipments of steroids at his mansion in Farmington, Conn. in July 2006 an order was mailed to his residence under the name "Michael Jordan" and also at a residence on Oakmont Drive in Los Angeles. Steroids in his name also were mailed to the office of a Long Island chiropractor.

Jackson's representative did not respond to a request for comment.

Timothy Z. Mosley, Timbaland, 35
Mosley was born in Norfolk, Va., and began his musical career in the mid-1990s emerging as a top rap artist. Mosley has become a major record producer and two years ago founded his own label, Mosley's Musical Group. The label's debut, Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" featuring Timbaland, reached the top of the song charts.

Mosley allegedly received shipments of human growth hormone and anabolic steroids between October 2005 and September 2006 at his Miami residence and at the office of a Long Island chiropractor.

Mosley could not be reached for comment.

Wyclef Jean, 35
Co-founder of The Fugees. The Haitian-born rapper and Grammy Award-winning musician is a producer and self-described social activist.

Jean splits time between New York City and Haiti, where he has spearheaded humanitarian efforts with stars such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Prescriptions in Jean's name for human growth hormone and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, were shipped to the office of a Long Island chiropractor in August 2005.

Jean's publicist declined to comment.

Tyler Perry, 38
An award-winning playwright, actor, director and producer. In 2005 Perry wrote, produced and starred in the box office hit, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman." Last fall, his television comedy series "House of Payne" debuted on TBS.

Perry's biography on his Web site touts his rags-to-riches story from being homeless on the streets of New Orleans to now owning a mansion outside Atlanta.

Prescriptions for anabolic steroids and growth hormone were shipped in Perry's name to his business and studio headquarters on Krog Street in Atlanta in 2005 and 2006.

Perry could not be reached for comment.

Sylvester Stallone, 61
Stallone paid a nearly $3,000 fine in Australia in May 2007 to settle criminal drug possession charges after 46 vials of human growth hormone and several vials of testosterone were discovered in his belongings during a customs inspection. Stallone, the chiseled star of the highly successful Rocky and Rambo movies, was in Sydney for a promotional tour. According to the Australian Associated Press, Stallone said he takes human growth hormone regularly because of damaged tendons and thin bones. Stallone has no known connection to the Albany steroids investigation.

As Ice Cube might say, this year was a good year.

Although it started out a bit rough, I have to admit that this year has been pretty awesome. I didn't even have to use my AK! I had the best holidays I've had in a very very long time. November, the month in which sometimes always bad happens finally had a happy moment-the birth of EM! Unfortunately, the same day Em was born, Javen's grandfather passed away. Together, we've had 3 grandparents die in the month of November. I hope that nothing too tragic happens in 2008 and that things continue to get better. It always makes me a little nervous when I actually start to feel happy because in the past, just when I thought things were looking up, something really bad would happen. I hope everyone has had a lovely Holiday and will have a wonderful new year!

Oh no!! My baby has a trendy name!


What did I do? There is going to be tons of kids in her class with the same name! I didn't realize this name was so popular. We chose it because we were looking through old family pictures and Javen's great great grandmother(who actually died at 108) was name Emma. My great grandmother was also named Emma so we thought it would be a nice family name. I never had the same name as anyone in my whole school. Now she's going to have to use her last initial all the time.

Maybe "The Goonies" really could happen!?


BEIJING - After 800 years at the bottom of the sea, a merchant ship loaded with porcelain and other rare antiques was raised to the surface Friday in a specially built basket, a state news agency reported.
ADVERTISEMENT

The Nanhai No. 1, which means "South China Sea No. 1," sank off the south China coast with some 60,000 to 80,000 items on board, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing Wu Jiancheng, head of the excavation project.

Archaeologists built a steel basket around the 100-foot vessel, and it took about two hours for a crane to lift the ship and surrounding silt to the surface, Xinhua said. The basket was as large as a basketball court and as tall as a three-story building.

Green-glazed porcelain plates and shadowy blue porcelain items were among rare antiques found during the initial exploration of the ship. Archaeologists have also recovered containers made of gold and silver as well as about 6,000 copper coins.

The ship dates from the early Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). It was discovered in 1987 off the coast near the city of Yangjiang, in Guangdong province, in more than 65 feet of water.

The Nanhai No. 1 was placed on a waiting barge. It will be deposited in a huge glass pool at a museum where the water temperature, pressure and other environmental conditions are the same as where it has lain on the sea bed.

Feng Shaowen, head of the Yangjiang city cultural bureau, said visitors will be able watch the excavation of the ship through windows on the pool.

The recovery of the Nanhai No. 1 was originally scheduled for Saturday, but organizers decided to raise it a day early because of favorable weather.

When I met Radiohead

Remembering the 90's made me remember when I met Radiohead. It was 1998 and they were tagged by douchy music magazine's as "genius" and "ground breaking". I never found that that good but I love the song "Karma Police". Anyway, my uncle used to drive for bands and he got me tickets and back stage passes to see Radiohead at Radio City Music Hall. I went with my roommate and her friend. We drove down. I didn't know it at the time but I had mono really bad and felt really out of it. We had an extra ticket so we sold it to a scalper for $50. They were VIP tickets and we were stupid. I think the scapler got $100 for that ticket. I don't really remember much of the concert. Anyway, we went to the back and stood in a fenced area waiting to go upstairs. We had an extra pass and just gave it to someone on the street(we probably could've sold it to some freak for a lot of money, bu we were dumb). I expected backstage to be really cool and wild. My uncle said that they were really nice and they liked driving in the truck with him. When we got up there it was very awkward. We were young kids among all these old British people. I began talking to someone who seemed very nice. I had no clue who he was but I found out later he was the drummer. When the lead singer came up I asked for his autograph. He was such a little freak. I was not star struck and could care less but he seemed to think he was to important to be around all these people. We left and then got two flat tires in the middle of an idustrial area in Brooklyn. We had to take a taxi to an all night tire store which I think was actually a terrorist club or something. Needless to say, Radiohead were douchbags.

Feeling Nostalgic

It's a Wednesday night and I'm just chazillin with my baby and watching best video's of the 90's on VH1. It's hard to believe that some of these songs are over 10 years old!!

In 1995, Duran Duran came out with a cover album. They did a cover of "911 Is A Joke" by Public Enemy. I actually had this cd and used to listen to it. It wasn't that bad. They did a great version of "Lay Lady Lay" by Bob Dylan.

Third Eye Blind was very mid-late 90s. I hated "Semi-Charmed Life" about "meth" addicts, but I have to admit the rest of that album was pretty good. I remember being a freshman in college and listening to this song a lot. It's actually sort of depressing, that's why I probably liked it..

Marky Mark "Good Vibration". This song brings me back to 1991 when I would have to go to Confirmation class every Wednesday night. I used to car pool with two boys who were a grade under me. I remember the one kid was a power wigger and used to always sing this. He became a herion addict and robbed numerous banks. That just shows you what liking Marky Mark will do to you.

Only Jay-Z could sample Annie's "Hard Knock Life". I HATED THIS, but did enjoy, "The City is Mine" The video even features Micheal Rapaport My friend had to cassette single and it got stuck in the tape player in her car so we listened to it repeatedly. Those were the days...
Soul Asylum was really just another early 90's grunge type band but somehow a lot dorkier than other bands in that category. I liked them though. I even remember i bought a old tape of their first album. They were best known for "Runaway Train", their social commentary on Runaway teens in America. I wonder if that video helped little Timmy return home. I hope so. Oh yeah, this dude used to go out with Winonna Ryder, but really, who didn't go out with Winonna Ryder in the early-mid 90's.

Ugly Kid Joe "I Hate Everything About You". Wow! Now this is a song I can relate to!!!! They also did a cover version of "Cats in the Cradle", a song that always me sad. Javen had the greatest hits of Ugly Kid Joe. I didn't know that they made greatest hits with only one song on it.

Oasis -"Wonderwall" I remember being in Germany when this song came out and being at an ice skating rink and them playing this song every 4th song. In between they played weird german techno like, "Help Me Dr. Dick" and "Hertz on Hertz". Germany was very bizarre. I remember going to a night club that was also an all you can eat buffet.

Monaco- "What do you want from me"


LOVE this song! Thanks PIP!

Daft Punk "Teachers"

Killarmy "Wake the FUck UP"


An off shoot of the Wu-Tang Clan. I had this Cd and used to crank this shit. I was a little white girl listening to some obscure hard-core rap. I like the Incredible Hulk Music in the background. I just remember blaring this song out the window in my dorm on "Dolphy Day".

M is one month old today!!!

Happy Birthday M!! I can't believe it's been a month! She gets cuter by the day, even with her baby acne. I love spending everyday with her and I've become really domesticated. I wake up, watch the "Today" show and then usually bake something and clean. Then in the afternoon I usually watch bad court TV and then I make dinner. It's really sort of sad. I really want to go places but I'm so worried about bringing her out. I'm going a little stir crazy because of it. I don't want to leave her to go back to work, but I don't want to be poor and babies are really expensive!

Eminem

M might be the most awesome baby ever!! She has such a great personality and makes me laugh all the time. She turns two weeks tomorrow. It's crazy that two weeks ago this little thing was still in my body! I'm still recovering from being sliced open. I'm really upset that I had to have a c-section I couldn't take care of her for almost a week and two weeks later I'm still in pain, not to mention I will have a lovely scar. Labor wasn't that bad(after the epidural) and it was just about over with when poor M's heart rate dropped. I was whisked to the OR and I completely freaked out when I couldn't feel my legs. It was the worst feeling I ever didn't feel(worse than the labor pains or being poked and prodded). I guess the umbilical cord was wrapped around her foot not allowing her to come down right. It was all worth it though. I couldn't love something anymore than I love her.

5 days till baby?

Today we got a glimpse of baby. It appears to be doing very well in utero. It was wiggling like crazy and we saw a smooshed little face. They guestimated that it was about 7.3 lbs which is kind of small for my family and I think kind of small for an overdue baby. Plus this baby only counts for 7.3 lbs of my 40+ lb weight gain? I have a lot of fat to lose after it's born. I have to say I'm very greatful because I have no stretch marks or any other weird things from this pregnancy ( except for a red freckle under my eye). I'm getting excited but very nervous about giving birth and going into the hospital. Right now I'm scheduled to go in Sunday night. Maybe I'll go before that but for some reason I think that this baby is very content being where it is.

GROSS PICTURE OF THE DAY

How freakish is this? I guess they were able to remove the extra limbs and make this poor girl appear somewhat normal. The extra limbs are actually her twin which was absorbed into her body during the early stages of development. YIKES!

Not done cookin yet


Today is my due date and no baby, no signs of labor, no nothing. I'm okay with it(probably because I'm getting really freaked out about actually having to go through labor)but the doctor seems really impatient. Today was my due date, so technically the baby isn't even late and they already made me have a non-stress test and wanted to induce me on Thursday! I don't want to force this poor child out if it's not ready yet. So many woman and doctors want to force labor or cut the baby out for convenience purposes. I'm not saying that I'm all natural about things. I do want any drugs that the doctor has to offer, but give the baby some time to come when it's ready. This being said, I'll probably end up being induced on Sunday and have this child on Veterans Day. In the meantime, I'm enjoying eating non-stop and being lazy.

Charlie is the best!

Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a really funny show.

Javen started me watching this show. It's sick and twisted and that's probably why I like it. With episodes called, "Dennis looks like a registered sex offender", "Dennis and Dee go on welfare" and "Charlie gets molested" how can it not be funny.

Are you right brained or left brained?


Click here to find out. I see the dancer go counter clockwise as well as clockwise. I guess that means I use both parts of my brain which I assume is a good thing. I probably could use a little less of my right brain though because sometimes I think about things a little too much and it drives me crazy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here's some costume ideas for Halloween.





There is no such thing in life as normal.


I'm still a bit upset that I'm not going to see Morrissey in NYC this upcoming week. I probably could've gotten tickets but considering I might "pop" any day I should probably stay around the area.

PETA ads always make me want to do the opposite of what their message is.



I love animals but I hate PETA.

Below is an example of some of the dumb shit these people do.


Eau Claire, Wis. - PETA members dressed as skeletons and holding signs that read, "I'd Rather Be Dead Than Eat Kentucky Fried Cruelty," will descend on an Eau Claire KFC just before Halloween to protest the abusive treatment of chickens. The ghouls will hand out leaflets to remind passersby that even being among the living dead is nothing compared to the living hell suffered by chickens who are raised and killed for KFC.

This is some freaky shit!


TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing see-through frogs, letting them observe organs, blood vessels and eggs under the skin without performing dissections.

researcher Masayuki Sumida, professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology of state-run Hiroshima University.

"You can watch organs of the same frog over its entire life as you don't have to dissect it. The researcher can also observe how toxins affect bones, livers and other organs at lower costs," he told AFP.

Dissections have become increasingly controversial in much of the world, particularly in schools where animal rights activists have pressed for humane alternatives such as using computer simulations.

Sumida said his team, which announced the research last week at an academic conference, had created the first transparent four-legged creature, although some small fish are also see-through.

The researchers produced the creature from rare mutants of the Japanese brown frog, or Rena japonica, whose backs are usually ochre or brown.

Two kinds of recessive genes have been known to cause the frog to be pale.

Sumida's team crossed two frogs with recessive genes through artificial insemination and the offspring looked normal due to the presence of more powerful genes. But crossing the offspring led to a frog whose skin is transparent from the tadpole stage.

"You can see dramatic changes of organs when tadpoles mutate into frogs," said Sumida, whose team is seeking a patent.

Such frogs could theoretically exist in the wild but it is "virtually impossible" they would naturally inherit so many recessive genes, Sumida said.

The transparent frogs can also reproduce, with their offspring inheriting their parents' traits, but their grandchildren die shortly after birth.

"As they have two sets of recessive genes, something wrong must kick in and kill them," Sumida said.

While the researchers relied on artificial insemination, they said that genetic engineering could also produce transparent and even illuminating frogs.

Sumida said researchers could also inject into the transparent frogs an illuminating protein attached to a gene, which would light up the gene once it manifests -- for example, showing at what stage cancer starts.

Sumida said it would be unrealistic to apply the same method to mammals such as mice as their skin structure is different.

At least I don't look like this yet.

Duran Duran's new song sounds just like every other Justin Timberlake/Timberland production.


I'm not sure how to just put a song on my blog, so click here to go to Duran Duran's MySpace page and click on the song "Night Runner" on the right of the page.
If I heard this song on the radio I would think it was Justin Timberlake. That just goes to show you how untalented JT is. It's all production and remixing. I'm pretty sure if I sang a song it could be remixed to sound just like every other crappy Top 40 song that is out now.
