Mikeman

Close...but no cigar

So I'm incredibly, NO desperatly close to being able to buying a car!
"So close I can almost taste" according to Natasha Bedingfield :) its not even funny.
I've been traveling around the city of Phoenix via public transportation aka the bus (Valley Metro)...and it SUCKS ASS!
1hr30mins from home to school
[vice versa]
1hr30mins from home to work
[Luckily I get a ride home]

That's 3 to 4hrs being spent traveling on the bus a day!

So I'm sure u get the picture.
I'm a 19 yo college student in need of a car cuz asking/bumming for rides to parties or where ever else I want/need to go AINT COOL at all.

But like I said the funds are almost there. I'm guess after this semester in May I'll have enough saved up to go out an buy me a car!

Can't wait till the day,
Mikeman

Sophia Fresh WHAT IT IS?

Sophia Fresh - "What It Is" Official Video


I've been waiting for a music video from SOPHIA FRESH
since their single "Lives In The Club"
Now to finally see them in action
its beyond refreshing

Skye, Crystal & Cole Rose
SOPHIA FRESH

the colors, fashion, glamour shots, Day26, attitudes, swagga
...so fresh

I love

Going PLATINUM means Star Status

According to RIAA
(The Recording Industry Association of America)
In album sales,
going PLATINUM means selling 1,000,000 records

But when your hair is or you dye your hair PLATINUM
U Gotta live up to your locks

So here's a few of my favorite PLATINUM artists



Lady Gaga
I [censored] Love LADY GAGA
White girl + long platinum hair & bangs
singin & dancing
she's killin it
Plus, she designs her own clothes
taking style to new limits
blends pop/dance/electro/dance/disco
fly fashions & all that is FAME, glitz & glam
Her album The Famestill hasn't left my stereo
AHHHHHH! Im suck a Lady Gaga fan words cant describe it


Gwen Stefani
started out HOT PINK in No Doubt
but this "Hollaback Girl" rocks it with the platinum
becoming one of my fav artist with
L.A.M.B. & The Great Escape



Lil Kim
The girl changes her hair like she changes clothes...or the lack there of haha. I love her fashion tho all the way down to the pasties ;)
Anyways, the Queen Bee definetly is one the nastiest in the industry:
raw, raunchy & explicit.
I may not know her current hair & eye color but I do know I prefer the Black Barbie in platinum blonde!


Chirstina Aguilera
tho she went Xtina on us for an album (Stripped)
the big platinum locks are signature
plus the girl can sang!
I recommend the album Stripped
(Oh yeah she's coming out with a new album so dont let the Greatest Hits album scare you like it did me.)


Eve
Ruff Rider turned lady
This rapper/actress/ocassional model keeps it fly and true every song. Stripper or not I've been a fan from the begining for lyrical content.
Plus she look good ;)
Also started out HOT PINK



"Honorable Mention"
for those who did then went back 2 black


Keyshia Cole
[Think 2^cd Just Like You]
"Let It Go", "I Remember", "Shoulda Let You Go" & "Heaven Sent"
(Started out RED-HEADED)


Kelis
[Think during her first album Kalidoscope]
"Good Stuff", "Caught Out There" & "Get Along With You"
(Hot Pink & Aqua tips included)


Kid Sister
[Single: "Pro Nails" feat Kanye]

Operation find SHANNON of DK

(in case you didnt know)
FAILED

On Making The BAND 4 as Dawn & Drea try to resurrect DK
they go to San Fransisco cuz thats where Shannon is instead of New York where Danity Kane (line up: Dawn, Drea & Shannon)
are supposed to be continuing with the dream of Danity Kane...but didnt.

So in arriving to San Fransisco, California.
They (Aundrea & Dawn) meet up with Shannon OFF AIR and find she "wants to find where her heart is because it isn't in it & wants to follow her heart."
Meaning she left the group.
But along with previously being "shell-shocked" and conflicted by Diddy's decision of D. Woods & Aubrey's departure...I dont blame her but I do.

Like I said in a previous blog...she was my favorite member of the group and its sad to see her & yet another member of the group go!


RIP
Danity Kane



music will never know what could be.

Racist or Congradulations? U B the Judge...

Yesterday at work
A lil 6 year old girl came up to me and said

"I'm so happy Obama is the president."

I replied

"yeah, me too!"

Cuz I am and plus its good to know she knows enough to be up on politics & current events.
Then she says

"I'm so proud for you! Congradulations!"

I put on a fake smile and said

"Thanks"

2 THINGS WRONG WITH THIS STATEMENT
1)What does she mean by "I'm proud of you" as in you ppl as in you black people?&
2)The congradulations took it overboard....like I had something to do with it. Like I voted for him but her congradulations was took more so as congradulations black person your man (Obama) won!

So idk how to take this?
[Note the lil girl is WHITE]
Was this a simple congradulations? and I'm taking this too far out of context? or was this lil girl raised a bit prejudice with that racist remark?

So here it is
Her style is so sick
and the Michael Jackson dance scene & crotch grab in the end is PRICELESS
along with her sequinced body haha
& the love scene in the police booth!
HOT STUFF!


Lady Gaga - "LoveGame"

please pay attenion to her fashion
this girl is creating her own
& KILLIN IT!

Making the Band 4 PREMIERE

So its back and in action filled with...
Drama, DK, Day26, Donnie & Diddy

[so here's my recap]
Ill definetly be keeping you posted on all news DANITY KANE


Well straight from the beginning of the show...it showed the final reaction of Dawn, Drea & Shannon from D & Aubrey's departure from the group after the MTV special last season which was so saddening. It so set the mood for them as sooooo not promising :(
lone Dawn (the spokesperson of the group) shows up to Diddy who's recording for his new album and they "talk" about DK and its status:
Shannon won't answer her phone calls supposedably her lawyer told to to say nothing and the girl has done so which is surprising cuz from the last time they were togeteher she was down with 3K (DK 5-2=3K).
NO word from D. Woods or Aubrey
So Dawn knows nada bout the girls as she tries to reach them to get this going again. Plus the girls thinks Dawn as Diddy's insider, the snitch, in cahoots which really puts Dawn in a bad position as Diddy wants the girls number to get intouch with them but Dawn cant do that... so that's what's up with DK


Donnie Klang
Basically his career is in jeopardy due to poor album sales and singles...tho part of that is Diddy's fault cuz he has HORRIBLE advertising for his artists.
Yet, still he told Donnie the reality of the situation and that he needs to promote the hell outta himself!


Day26
is in LDN
and are having a good time
Main Fear: they dont want to break up like Danity Kane did. They honestly were one of Diddy's biggest selling artists 2 #1 hits & 2 platinum albums and it ended like that. They dont wanna go out like that and basically talk about his Aubrey was wrong for doing the group wrong like that and not looking out for the good of the group AND how their sad for D. Woods getting cut like that.
They review Diddy's Making The Band history
-DA BAND
had baaaaaaaaad chemistry (always fighting if you remember them) went gold but Diddy dismembered them
-Danity Kane
hella successful and had true talent each of them girls could sing and lets clicks & and bad chemistry ruin it for them
-Day26
doesnt want to be classified as another Bad Boy failure

Career statuses:
Danity Kane - pending (missing members & no direction)
Donnie Klang - endangered (by poor sales = possible 'nother dropped artist)
Day26 - promising (thus far)

Concerned fan & Bad Boy love/hater,
