so, this one is inspired and brought on by a good friend of mine Karis H. she asked me to watch this video and give my input, but instead of simply commenting on her fb page, i decided to write a blog. y did i decided to blog about this? because when i tried to watch the video on youtube, it was flagged and i was unable to view it. also because i was able to see the artist's response to some viewer's oppinions and she calmly stated "this video is not condoning date rape...." I'M SORRY WHAT???? yea so i found another website and viewed Kiely Williams' "Spectacular" and this is what i have to say about it:

first, i'd like to address the fact that this girl had no talent when she was in 3LW or the Cheetah Girls and she has yet to acquire any in her adult years. this was a terrible song! her voice is terrible, the beat was terrible and i overall would never want to hear it again....
no, as for the lyrical content:.... i don't see the problem. i mean, one night stands r not the best idea and especially not when ur wasted, but it's totally not uncommon. i personally had a sexual experience similar to this, i just happen to know the guy and was actually on a date with him. but all in all, i got so wasted that everything was unclear and memories of it (even still) come to me more in the form of pictures than actual moving recollections. i woke up the next morning and couldn't believe that i had passed out but could definitely remember that i had and AWESOME TIME!!! i still talked to the dude for a while after and although i chose not to have sex with him again, i sure didn't feel like he took advantage of me. i was totally consenting with all that happened that night. WHOA! i'm totally rambling again...
what i'm getting at is that this girl wrote/ performed a song about a night that a lot of girls have had. she never says a word about regretting it. she actually says that he could get it again. i mean, i don't see the issue. she thinks that ppl tripped so hard over it because she was once a cheetah girl and i agree... PPL GROW UP FOLKS! let's get it together! what i also wanna know is y it's ok for little kids to sing lyrics like "come 'ere rude boy, boy can u get it up? come 'ere rude boy, boy is it big enough? take it. take it. take it. take it. take it. take it. love it. love it!" but this girl is sending all kinds of subliminal messages of it being ok to date rape or to be date raped when it sounds to me like she's just saying that she had an awesome one night stand that she'd totally do again. is it because the other song said to "love it" as well. should Kiely have added the word love into her song and then it wouldn't have been so bad?
do ur thang Kiely..... but maybe u should stop pretending that u have musical talent.... cuz u don't.
check it out for urself, but if ur normal, i'm sure u'll agree with me

kids' birthdays r expensive!

mmkay.... so my little honey bunny is turning 5 in like two seconds so my big honey bunny and i were trying to decide what was gonna be the most fun for him and the least expensive for us.... my little man's favorite place is super close to home, but so not cheap for a birthday package. so we decided to invite ppl to join him for play time there (we'd pay the kid's cover) and then we'll have food and cake after at our house which is literally down the street. it's still gonna cost a pretty penny, but much less than the cost of having a room with food and cake at the location. my question: y is it that they charge so much for a measly 20 or 30 minutes in a room for a small amount of kids? it's pretty ridiculous. and they make it so u can't bring ur own food onto their location.... but u can bring a cake? stupid. well we showed them!.... i'm just super glad that this next kid is gonna have a birthday months after his big brother. parties r expensive! lol

we got our first dog when we were kids. it's funny, because we wanted a cat. my mom made it clear, long before, that we couldn't have a dog until we had a house. well, we knew a girl in our apartments whose cat had had a litter and asked our mom if we could bring one home. she actually said yes, but about an hour or two after having the kitten in the house, she told us to take it back and we'd get a dog. that was the best!!!! we went to this place in Fontana called Elliot's Pet Emporium (idk y i remember that) and the puppies that they had there were adorable... but my mom said that she wanted a younger (smaller) puppy. the puppies at elliot's were mixed with chow and lab and were 8 weeks old. little black balls of fur. anyhoo, we went to petsmart and found out that they only adopted pets out and didn't have any puppies. well that wasn't gonna work, and since we had gotten a late start and my mom PROMISED that we'd get a dog that day, we went back to Elliot's.... my mom picked out the most quite puppy. she just sat in a corner looking at all the hyped up pups like they were stupid. she didn't seem to give a damn about "selling herself". we bought her, a leash and collar, some food and i think a bowl.
when we got home, our new dog refused to walk on a leash.... she actually wouldn't move at all. so we carried her to our house. WE HAD A DOG!!! we decided to call her ci ci.... then my mom started calling her "chow-ci"... we thought this was gay, so we started calling her Chelsea... that's her name Chelsea.
from then on, Chelsea ruled our house. she was my mom's favorite kid... because of course, she became my mother's dog more so than ours. but she was so adorable that the fact that she was an asshole didn't bother us too much. my sister would do things like put her in cabinets, the fridge, back packs, things like that... just because she was small and could fit. it used to piss me off, we were kids... it still pissed me off tho.
Chelsea was mean too. she didn't like other kids. she was one of those dogs that would snap at anyone who tried to touch her, if she didn't know them. yea, she was a hand full. she was hilarious too. she would chase her tail and scoot her butt on the ground when she was little, then when she god older, she's throw rocks or balls around and chase after them. and when she got even older, she's find gofers and possums and throw them around and chase after them.... pest control. we got another dog when she was a year old and she was a huge bully to her. Quila was an abandoned puppy and my sister and mom came across her while they were at the pet store buying Chelsea some food. some lady was hoping to be able to leave her at the pet store because someone had left Quila in the back of her truck. she was only 4weeks old and they couldn't sell her at the pet store, so my mom and sis brought her home. this really didn't sit too well with Chelsea. it took years for her to stop picking on Quila. which didn't help with Quila's issues with being timid and needing to be close to someone.
they're like sisters now. they lay around the house together, and it's actually kinda cute. they're like 2 of the golden girls. well, they're 16 and 15 years old now and Quila's still pretty active. she's not as hyper as she was and she seems to have lost her hearing, but she's still really alert....
Chelsea's not doing so well. she's had arthritis for a few years now... and it recently got so bad that she can barely walk. she can't stand herself up and she can't make it up and down even one stair. she's blind now, and when u look in her eyes, they're clouded and sad. my mom has to guide her around to her food and water, to go potty, and she has to carry her up and down the stairs. she's been sneezing a lot and her breathing has become slightly labored. she also has the occasional nose bleed. she barely eats or drinks anymore and, tho she once used to LOVE being outside, she stays glued to my mom inside.... it's breaking my mom's heart is broken and she's decided to put her down. she feels her slipping away and can't stand to see her like this. she's her baby. it's probably one of the saddest times in our lives so far and i'm really upset about it. she's the best dog ever.... i've cried a few times already and it hasn't even happened yet. i feel sad over Chelsea, i feel sad for my mom, and i feel sad for Quila. she's never known life without Chelsea, and i'm not sure if she'll be ok without her..... it's all bad right now...
