Hey fam...
Just wanted to take a few minutes and wish every one happy holidays and a prosperous new year.
A few minutes ago, I was chatting with my mom and she asked me what my "plans"...not resolutions, but PLANS were for 2012 and I told her, first and foremost, I will be picking up where I left off with working towards obtaining my degree...that was a promise I made to my grandmother shortly before her transition back in 2010 and because the college I was attending at the time and I didn't see eye-to-eye, my education came to a very abrupt standstill. She knew of the issues I was having with them at the time and she encouraged me to not give up. Starting next week, I will be attending another college and I plan to do my damndest to keep my word not only to myself but mainly to her, in honor of her memory. So far, I have two years under my belt, and another two years to go.
My second plan of action is to be more financially realiastic. In other words, why am I buying "this"...is it because I really need it, or because I just want it just to have it...hmmmmm???
My third plan of action...to start speaking my mind and if necessary...walking away from people (family and friends) who don't follow thru on their words, don't know when to "back-off" when it comes to things that really aren't that important, and most of all...don't treat me the way I DESERVE to be treated...LIKE A QUEEN. As of this morning, I let one friend go as a result of her unreasonable approach to somethng that's really not that important. I also told my mother that if I also have to hurt that particular person's feelings just to get my point across, then so be it!!!! 2012...NEW YEAR...NEW RULES. She said to me...."Those are great plans, and as your mom, I wish you the best in fullfilling them in the new year"...ya gotta love Lynne (my mom!!)
So having said that fam, what are your "plans" (NOT RESOLUTIONS) for the new year????
Let's chat fam!!!

Permalink Reply by WonderLove on December 27, 2011 at 8:15am 2011 has been a great year. I've had a few dreams come true and began the scary yet rewarding journey of introspection. Decided not to get so wrapped up in immediately 'mastering' life's lessons, because if I don't, Life will serve a repeat over and over until I get it. My plans are to volunteer with children and become more financially literate. To continue celibacy, lay off the champagne, journal more, and to continue cultivating the relationship with my bestest-best friend in the world: Lady Intuition.
Cheers to a great year gone by and for an even greater 2012!!
Stay Gold,
WL
Permalink Reply by kdub83 on December 27, 2011 at 10:59am Well I have several plans for the new year. First, I will end 2012 in a better financial situation than I am finishing 2011. If it takes me saving more, moving to another location, learning more about investments, all the above or other things what needs to be done to be better financially. Secondly, I will get more involved in my fraternity. I spent too much of 2011 in the house and went through some depression as a result of it. Also I'm going to find some more ways to get involved and just generally get out the house more. Third I am going to be more diligent with my community service. I enjoy doing it but just didn't get as much done as I wanted. Finally for my more fun one, I want to take a motorcycle training class and buy my first motorcycle. I have been wanting one for a while and it will help with gas on the commute to work.
EDIT: Forgot one I will be more honest with myself and others. I find that this is the best approach for me and my mental sanity. I've gotten a few people not so happy with me as a result, but it's better for everyone involved.
Have a great 2012 people.
Hey KDub...great plans my king. If I may, what fraternity are you affiliated with?

Chris Brown is involved in a few beefs with other industry artists right now. Get the deets on what's going on between him and Meek Mill and Raz B!

The word on the street is that Meek Mill got his verse on Chris Brown's "Don't Judge Me" dropped from the Fortune disc because Chris got pissy that Meek was hanging with Rihanna at a strip club.
Chris wasn't too pleased that Rihanna stopped by Meek Mill's party at Club Perfections last month so he bumped Meek off the disc. Over the weekend, Meek tweeted,
We shall see how this one play's out. But you know how pissy Chris can be......
And in other Chris beefs..........

Former B2K member Raz B has allegedly written a book called This Boy's Life. We say allegedly because we have not been able to verify existence of the book with the publishing company or Raz B's reps. But rumor has it that the book features explosive allegations about former B2K members (Omarion, Lil' Fizz, J Boog), Bow Wow, Ray J, Chris Stokes and Chris Brown all being gay.
On Chris the book says,
“They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn’t think about that when he attacked me online. I have a friend that’s very close to Chris’ camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when Chris started going in calling people ‘gay’ and ‘fags’ I just dropped Andre Merritt’s name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up.”
Chris responded (his tweets were later deleted) to the alleged book saying,

If this book ever hits shelves, the fallout could be very interesting. We'll keep you posted.

Andre 3000 is over in Dublin filming the Jimi Hendrix biopic. Get deets on the film and see Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx hosting a pool party in Las Vegas.

Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 (who celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday) began filming All Is by My Side, a Jimi Hendrix biopic, today in Dublin, Ireland.

Andre 3000 wants fans to be surprised by the film so he avoided photos so everything will be fresh when it hits the screen.

But when it hits the screen, don't expect to hear Jimi's original music. Apparently, the estate is not on board with the biopic. The estate released a statement saying,
"Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a 'biopic' in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or composition."
Andre 3000 will likely have to record covers of all Jimi songs used in the film. But hey.....isn't that what we wanted anyway?
And in Las Vegas...........



Yesterday, Ne-Yo hosted Beach Life's Rehab Pool in the Hard Rock Hotel.

He tweeted, Chill day in my hometown Vegas, sipping @Malibu_Red at Rehab Pool. Life is good! #Compound - R.E.D 9/18/12


He also paraded around with a bevy of beauties and got the crowd hyped.


Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx was the party's other host and he also hyped the crowd.

Bobby Brown hit 30 Rock Plaza this morning for a special Memorial Day Concert on The "TODAY" Show. Watch the clips inside.....

Though his voice was not up to par, Bobby Brown put in a good faith effort this morning during a concert for The TODAY Show. He performed his new track "Don't Let Me Die" "Every Little Step" and "My Perogative."
TODAY's concert was one of his most high profile appearances on network television since the passing of Whitney Houston. During the interview with Peter Alexander, Bobby denied that his new track was about Whitney Houston saying it was about his fiancee Alicia. He added his new album is about being clean from drugs (7 years) and the blessings in his life.
He said he isn't doing reality tv now and is focused on his new album The Masterpiece.
Also, NBC correspondent Tamron Hall tweeted, Hanging with @todayshow fam this morn! The king of R&B Bobby Brown is here and his fans are already lined up waiting !!!@kingbobbybrown
