Are You Not Entertained...?!

I really wanted to write something entertaining right now....but I have a feeling that this ain't gon' happen.

I wanted to write about my experience tonight, but have no clue where to begin.
All I can say is....2 words....Leimert Park.

[a.k.a. The Matrix]

I wish I had a video camera connected to my brain that could record what I see and think at any given moment (at my discretion, of course), and upload directly to my computer.

~Telepathy meets Technology~

[....This would make for a very interesting blog entry.....trust me.]

Alas, I am living in a technological realm so far behind the rest of the galaxy that it will be light years before this will come into fruition.

I guess that's why I write. Maybe I'm supposed to recreate these memories/scenarios for people to read & imagine their own way thru it.

(...maybe that kind of brain recording technology would just make me lazy...[er]...)

I need a set-up where I can blog DURING the experience....that[!] may be my solution...pictures, thoughts, ramblings, whatever....on the spot....simultaneously [or shortly thereafter] blogged.

My own blogcasting network.
[I'm taking full credit for creating the word "blogcasting" ....I just made it up...I'm sure it's not original, but I'm going to pretend like it is.........!]


"Good morning/afternoon/evening, this is theGoldenChild, reporting live from The Matrix....WTF is this shit?...[!]"

I need an iPhone!


dotdotdot (...)

I'ma try and actually do some writing on here tomorrow (well, later today...it is 3:45am after all). There are quite a few older entries I need to finish writing that are long overdue! ...and a couple new ones that I really need to get out before they fizzle.

For example...I've been done with Master Cleanse for over a week....I was supposed to blog about that.

Fizzled.



I need to get back in the swing of things! For serious.
Blogging is usually funtimes for me. However, as of late, I've been putting it off again and again.

*sadface*

Writer's Block.............and not in the way that you think. I've got plenty of ideas, stories, reviews, blah blah blahs & etceteras etceteras.........but there is an internal block preventing production of these wondrous ramblings.

I'm getting it together.

...in my sleep...

I promise.

goodnite.

Massa Clenz...Day 2

Cuz seriously...

yeah.

Let me just warn all of you who may be considering doing the Cleanse...the salt water flush is very effective.

...and annoying.

bring a book.
Something like...War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy...(I think it's the biggest book I've ever seen in my life...next to the Bible and the unabridged version of Webster's Dictionary)

*sidebar* I believe my grandma is THE only one I've ever known who's actually read the book cover to cover!
+God rest her soul!+
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I know what you're probably thinking..."OMG. TMI!"
But, I don't give 2 squirts of duck shit what you think...!

[you're not mad at me now...are you??]

I know, it's gross. But it is what it is. You can't be mad at me for being honest...somewhat vague, but still implied.

My suggestion is...if you're planning on doing Master Cleanse & you do the salt water thing...don't make plans for the rest of the day.

Stay home.

[but...buy a padded seat cover first.]

My Last Meal...

Tomorrow morning I begin the Master Cleanse...

My intention was to start today...which, I actually did for the first half of the day.
Then....it hit me!

"I want In-N-Out!"

fuck.

I never got my last meal. Now the cravings come...I'm losing the game...

Master Cleanse is really a mind game.
No, really.
It is.

Ok. Ok. Ok. I've done MC twice before and it was not this difficult the first day. What the hell?!
So, my internal battle goes on...Do I suck it up and continue? OR Do I say "fuck it" & eat a "Last Meal" and start in the morning...mentally prepared for the 10 day experience?

.........
......
...

So....I called Bossa Nova in Hollywood and ordered chicken and black beans...and, of course, Doce du Banana for dessert.[!]

After, din & a glass of wine. I smoked a bowl (which, I will not be doing during my fast either, BTW) and ate my banana deliciousness.

Once I cashed the bowl, I continued to watch my Netflix MIP (Movie In Progress), Sideways––which, incedentally, became funny after the pot hit. [I'd fallen asleep twice while watching it earlier in the evening] I ended up liking the movie.

Back to my original thought....

So, Master Cleanse (I feel I need to capitialize for some reason). Why am I doing it? I get that question from a few people. "You don't need to lose any weight..." they say.

...Who said anything about me wanting to lose weight?!?

"I'm not doing it for weight loss...." I reply. "I'm CLEANSING..." {hence Master Cleanse}

Why is that everyone's first assumption? That I want to, or would try to, lose weight?
WTF?!?

Really?

Contrary to popular belief, I have no desire to be a size 2....never have. I mean, just because I'm going the model/actress route, doesn't mean I'm interested in adopting the insanely ridiculous Hollywood weight obsession. Fuck that!
I'm cool.


I'm 5'10"...I'm not supposed to be a size 0...! I'm not cool with walking around looking like a latex skeleton. I'm so cool on that shit. Ick. I mean, I get that some women are naturally built like sticks, but that's not my goal. ...not by a long shot. My only interest is to be in the best shape and best health for my body. So, whatever it is that I decide to do...whether it be to go on a cleanse or to change my eating habits...it's for that reason only. I'm not interested in manipulating and destroying my body to fit someone else's idea of beauty.
I'm cool.


It's unfortunate that so many people are stuck in that program. Scales, pills, creams & salves, injections, surgeries, eating disorders, mental breakdowns...all for what?

No, thanks.[!]

Then, what's even worse...is when people whine about it. "This pill isn't working", "that diet didn't work", "I gained 5 pounds", "I can't eat this, I can't eat that"...

?

Wellllll....what if......WHAT IF.....you decided to hit the gym? or do some jumping jacks? or eat one less Twinkie?

hmm.

What if you stopped complaining? ...and actually did something about it?

hmm.

What if you focused on your overall health rather than just the weight?

...what if you vibrate higher and get out of the constant negative creating?...

hmm.

Another thing that I find a tad annoying, is when someone says to me "Oh, girl...you're skinny, you can eat whatever you want. I can't cuz...blah, blah, blah..." and, "You don't have to do anything to maintain your weight like I do...blah, blah, blah..."

Stop it.
Please.

Just because you made poor decisions last time you were at Denny's, don't get mad at me[!]...and don't invite me into your pity party, either.
I'm not coming.


Why do people do that? Try and make me feel bad (without avail, at this point) about having the body that I have? "You don't have to worry about this, cuz you've got that..."

Shut up.


Please, don't concern yourself with me and what I'm doing. Focus on yourself...your Self...and what you're doing...or NOT doing, for that matter.

How about you let me have my experience...and you go on and have yours. If you want to lose weight, tone up, or whatever...just fucking do it & stop running your mouth about all the reasons why you can't.
...or...
shut up about it already!!


I want a brownie.

Watchmen

horrible movie.

808s & Heartbreak

I'm going to be honest....initially, I had been really resistant to listening to this album since the day it was released. The reason for this was because I had a preconceived notion about what it was going to be like.

Lemme 'splain you....

Ever since Akon and T-Pain began singing with their ever-so-annoyning vox box shit, I've been turned off to just about every artist who went there (with the exception of Snoop's Sensual Seduction--which caught me with the hilarity of the video, moreso than the song itself)...and it's just another reason why I don't, to this day, listen to the radio...that vox shit is EVERY where! [Ack!]

If I heard the vox, I instantly tuned out.

So, when Yeezy dropped 808s & Heartbreak, I just assumed [yes, I know...never assume...but I did *sigh*] it was full of vox box shenanegans. So, I didn't persue it any further.

*sidebar* When Graduation came out, I bought it the week it was released...!

Even when I heard Ye's new shit it in my friend's cars or cribs, I tuned it out....


Now...back to the future...

as you can see by my previous post, I found myself on set of the RoboCop video. Well a few days prior to the shoot, I decided it might be a good idea to actually check out the album...FINALLY...


I was pissed.


[...at myself!]

The album is FUCKING GREAT!

It's actually my new favorite shit. I can't stop listening to it.

Who was I fooling...really...? I should have known better.

My bad, Kanye, for pre-judging your shit.


Joke's on me.

[buy it!]

RoboCop.

I had the pleasure of being on set of Kanye West's RoboCop video this week.

Word.

Let me just begin by saying...the Universe is f*cking awesome! ...and THANK YOU! I manifested some great shit!

I'm definitely a fan of Yeezy's music. Graduation was in heavy rotation last summer...[fall & winter too, shit!]. I find his music very inspiring and he is an extremely talented musician to say the least. Bravo, Ye!

Anyway, I got to play make-up assistant to my best pal, Shine Blackhawk (who, by the way, is a fucking Rockstar!) for the 3-day shoot. This is offically the 2nd Hype Williams set I've been on which is always a delight. Hype is a fucking genius! The video concept was dope...Kanye's storyboards were sick (...now I wish I'd taken photos of them for a later addition to this post...but I didn't even think of it until just now! [plus, I was a little nervous taking pictures in the first place, but I along the way, I relaxed and got some great shots! --which will be posted AFTER the official release of the video!])

The whole thing was shot with a green screen, so I can only imagine the dopeness that is to come.

*excitement!*

The video star. playing the role of the femmebot RoboCop, was Kanye's new flame, Amber Rose. And, I can honestly say that she is one of THE coolest, sweetest, and most genuinely authentic people I have ever met. She is a Bad-Ass Bitch, yo! (And gorgeous, too!)

The two of them have such a great chemistry together...Kanye totally lights up in her presence (& vice versa).
[Awwww!]

I digress...

Apparently the video is due out in early April, so it will be a hot minute before I can post the behind the scene pix...but in the meantime...
