…that their kids are always lying to them? I mean…children and teenagers don’t lie to their parents for no reason.

I wish I could send a mass message to all parents, especially black parents. Your child won’t lie to you unless you give them a reason to. I don’t lie to my mom, well not anymore lol. But if at any point I did lie to my mother, it would only be because she wouldn’t handle the truth well. Parents say they want their kids to be honest, but at the same time, don’t appreciate honesty.

If your child did something that they know you won’t like or made a mistake at some point, when you ask them about it, of course they’ll lie to you about it. They know that all you’ll do is punish them in some way. Who would want to face that? So hey, instead of facing the music, why not just tell a little lie and everything will be fine… Yeah, that sounds better.

So basically all I’m saying is, if you don’t want your child lying to you always, don’t instill fear into them. They’re not perfect, so of course they’ll make a lot of mistakes. And when they make those mistakes, handle it well. Don’t lash them, otherwise you’re basically telling them to lie to you hence forth.

Enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Somebody please explain to me why people do this.

Why do people feel the need to expose their whole lives on their name/status updates. This goes for bbm and msn; but especially bbm. It makes me raise an eyebrow when I see a status update that tells everyone everything that’s going on in that persons life, and then wonder why people know so much about them..

Nobody needs to know every single time you and your boyfriend/girlfriend have a fight or make up. Not everyone needs to know your schedule for the whole day. I honestly can’t stand this: “work from 9-3, gym at 3:30-5, then beach life with the ladies!” WHY DO YOU NEED TO TELL EVERYONE WHAT YOU’RE DOING TODAY??

I just don’t understand it. Do you want people to be jealous of what you’re doing? Like who the hell cares. What annoys me most of all is when people update their statuses with things like this: ” downtown life! ”  or “toronto todaaaay :D”

…What’s the big deal? Are you that excited when you go to Toronto that you feel the need to tell everyone? Especially teenagers up to 17 or 18 years of age. They get so excited that they’re going downtown, that they update their bbm status, facebook status, and twitter, telling everyone that they’re going to downtown Toronto today.

Also, if you don’t want people to keep questioning you about your life, STOP PUTTING SUCH DETAIL INTO YOUR STATUS UPDATES. If I can tell you when you and your boyfriend had a fight and got back together, then you need to calm it down.

Oh and lastly, I don’t care if some of you don’t agree. You can argue all you want. I won’t reply.

This honestly makes me scratch my head.

You wouldn’t believe how many times I hear people saying they want a mac just because it looks cool. Let me tell you right now, if you don’t need a mac for it’s creative purposes, don’t waste your money on one.

I’m saying this because I know many people who regret buying a mac. Why? Not because it sucks, but because it’s not what they expected.

They approach me saying things like “omgg the msn suuuucks for mac, there’s no webcam or anything!” and “how come macs barely have any applications and programs like the pc!”. And finally “mannn macs aren’t compatible with anything! Pcs are compatible with anything! ”

So please save the mac users your complaints, and just stick with a PC. Not to mention, you can get the same amount of memory, hard drive space, etc, on a pc but for a MUCH cheaper price. Buying a mac for $1500 will get you a basic macbook pro, but buying a PC for $1500 will get you a powerhouse.

So please think a little, save your money and hard times. Thanks.

Today, I jizzed in my pants.

Why, you ask? Well, because  while walking in a mall, I happen to see the yet to be released, Blackberry Torch in the hands of an incredibly fortunate man. At first I walked by him, noticed it, then turned right back and I just HAD to talk to him.

First off, the Torch looked BEAUTIFUL. I fell in love, and THAT’S why I jizzed in my pants.

I asked him a couple questions. I couldn’t help myself.

I asked how well it functioned and how he got his hands on it. His answer wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but I know for sure the torch will have a bright future.

He crossed the border into the USA to get his hands on it and came back to Canada with it, seeing as how it has not yet been released in Canada. We get everything late.

Anyway, he informed me about firmware problems the Torch had. At launch, it had some major problems with the firmware of the phone, and as a result, it made him want to sell it. I guess you can say this is similar to the Storm at launch. Had many problems at launch but later updates made the phone much more usable.

While I didn’t get to hold the Torch in my hand, I can certainly say it’s larger than I thought it would be. This is a good thing! The screen just looks stunning. Bright and vivid colors. The keyboard also looks great.

Oh man this phone is sexy. That is all.

Deuces.

This is just to remind myself.

- Blackberry Torch I had the opportunity to see today.

- Those who want a mac for no reason.

- People who are so hard to talk to.

- Sometimes what we want isn’t what we need.

How the hell do certain Indians survive with that turban on their heads in the blistering heat? Along with long sleeves that cover their whole body.

Not to offend them nor mock their culture, but like….dang. How do they do it? Sorry but I’d rather not reach enlightenment than to put that thing on my head everyday and almost die as a result.

No thanks.

Deuces.

Looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I just teared. Thank you Jesus.

So I was sitting in the car with my mother with my attention split in half. Half on the radio, and half in dream land. And faintly I heard some guy on the radio speaking of a new touch-screen tablet to be on store shelves in about 2 months, made by the same people behind the Blackberry.

RIM seems to want to compete with Apple and share the wealth. I must admit, I’m very excited to see what the device will look like and how it will function. I only heard of a few details about the tablet. For one, it’s called the BlackPad. Second, it’s roughly the same size and dimension as the iPad. Wifi and bluetooth. Thirdly, the touch-screen will measure 9.7 inches, similar to the iPad. The price will also be ‘in line’ with Apples iPad, with the cheapest model starting at $499.

However..I cannot see the BlackPad coming close to the success of the iPad, which already sold over 3 million units since April. It’s true that RIM has very loyal users, but I believe that those users will only go as far as the Blackberry, for now. I also believe that anyone who wanted a tablet would already have gotten an iPad….I mean, how much better can a tablet really get?

Title is pretty self-explanatory.

1. Idiotic comments like this… “You have a dollar?” “No.” “Broke ass!” “But you’re the one asking for money..”

2. Do NOT pinch me. Seriously, don’t.

3. I hate the fact that I can’t finish a tube of Lip Balm before I lose it. It makes me sad inside.

4. I know I have to be up early the next morning, so I make up my mind to go to bed early, yet I STILL manage to stay up till 2am doing absolutely nothing. Why?

5. Yucky children.

6. Don’t dish out what you yourself cannot handle. If you make fun of people, don’t cry and throw a tantrum when someone makes fun of you.

7. You won’t believe how many times this happened to me. ( *Picks up HOUSE phone* Them: “Yo are you home??” Me: “…Are you serious? ” )

8. Don’t call MY cell phone and ask me who I am.

9. Don’t you dare give ME a last minute job and get upset at me because it’s not done on time. You must be on drugs.

10. I don’t understand why people who talk too much NEVER get the hint that they should stop talking.

11. I cannot stand when people don’t say thank you. If I open the door for you and let you walk through, SAY THANK YOU. Moron.

12. Don’t lie to me. If you’re not my friend then I don’t care. But if you and I speak to each other regularly, do not lie to me. I will know when you’re lying but I’ll let you think you’re fooling me.

13. Honestly, why do 13-18 year old girls cry that they can’t find a good guy who loves them, won’t play them and that all men are the same. Are you sick in your head? You expect to find your life partner at that age? You must be sick in your head. Go sit down and read your bible.

14. If you text me telling me to call you, when I do call you, I shouldn’t hear your answering machine.

15. Do not come to me in person and make a stupid comment about my dressing, especially if you yourself can’t dress. I’m not dressing to impress you. I don’t give a flying crap about what you say. You don’t like how my shorts are folded up? Do you expect me to unfold them just for you? Nonsense.

16. I know I’m skinny. I don’t need you to tell me I’m skinny. But thanks anyway.

17. I hate when people go through my Facebook or phone pictures then tell me “wow you must love yourself eh? you seem cocky”  …Is it not my phone? Is it not MY Facebook page? Yes. So my phone and my facebook profile are SUPPOSED to represent ME. Not a car, not a celebrity, but me. Thanks.

18. Just because I’m talking with a female one on one, doesn’t mean we’re flirting.

19. If you’re a female, and you “like” me, don’t think the feeling is mutual just because I say hi to you, then next year come to me and say “so what happened to us??”. THERE WAS NEVER ANY ‘US’. Thanks.

20. I CANNOT stand when someone says to me “hey stranger! why don’t you talk to me?” Ummmm you don’t talk to me either. If you did, I’d speak right back to you. So shhhh, quiet.

Deuces.
