I'd Like To Thank The Academy for.. A BUNCH OF B.S.!
Dear Diary,Last night was so interesting. Guess what I did? Come on, guess! Well, last night, I watched the Oscars with a few old/new friends: Questlove, Butta, Saul, HumanityCritic, HealerAvalaura, just to name a few. Now I know that shit sounds weird, but I'm telling you, it happened and I had a good 'ole time cracking up at all of them - Thanks to my new found fave social networking site, TWITTER! Yea, I know, I'm a lamer (as my friend Charlie, calls me), but hot piss, I'm a techie! I just can't help it!! I love all things shiny and metal, and all those things that come at me through the computer screen. Man, is it possible to have a Facebook addiction along with a side of Twit? I think so because damn it, I'm suffering... But back to the Oscars - WHAT A MESS! I should've known this wasn't the year for Taraji or Viola. Why? Because they were in the same f'ing category. That right there is a DEATH SENTENCE for African-Americans in film. You know the Academy ain't trying to have us get too excited so they lump us all in at one time. Yet, they have no probs having us perform... HMMM??? Shouts out to Queen Latifah though, she did her thing! Missed Beyonce's performance, but I'm sure it will be on Youtube soon. You know maybe, I'm just being a cynic, but do 'we' only get to win an Oscar every ten years or so? It sure feels like we do, but anyhow, it should be no surprise that editing the book went out the window with the Oscars on the boob-tube. All things considered, I'm still ahead of the game, so I'll definitely be making an appearance in front of the manuscript tonight!
Sincerely,
Soulfull

I'm following you over on Twitter now! (We both are Tweet chicks, huh?) I was so tickled to catch up to you over there.
I dropped in long enough to see about the Steve Harvey book - then had to run to Amazon to sneak a peek. What made you mad, sis?
Catch me on email or something. I'm busy as all get out these days (not always in a good way), be we keeping the faith!
Peace

Hey Free!! Yes, sweet tweet chicks! LOL! FUNNY! But yeah, I bought the book and was thumbing through it when I came to this page that talked about how a woman should speak to a man regarding wanting a brotha with a job and wanting to be taken care of. I mean, a book that is designed to kinda teach you how to talk to a brotha civilly just ain't for me. When I get home to night, I'll tweet you the page #, but after I read that, I just couldn't get into it. I guess because I am married and whatnot. Still, I suppose I expected something different than what Harvey delivered...
