Money On My Mental~ Gangsta Boo Ft. Chris Travis

My Nigga~ YG Ft. Young Jeezy & Rich Homie Quan

I have a poem in mind to go with this song.

I'm Officially On Vacation

Well up until next Thursday I have some time to clear my mind and enjoy the world around me.

It'll all start with some Shellac nails. My mood is so good for relaxation that I'm going to pay $50 for a professional mani/pedi that'll last a couple weeks.

Then tomorrow morning I will board a plan and spend a few days in NYC. There will be lots of networking with other writers. I'm going to Blogging While Brown. It'll be my first time attending. So far I'm looking forward to meeting La Janee Cosby of www.icanrepeatit.com (a fellow blogger) and others who have been doing this craft for a long time. Did you know Necole Kane (www.necolebitchie.com) is supposed to be there? Luvvie (www.awesomelyluvvie.com) will also be there. Alfred Edmond Jr. (www.blackenterprise.com) will be there. Other names not directly connected to blogging will be there to speak too. I'm looking forward to it all.

Then after all the networking is over, another Rattler will be celebrating her birthday which is Monday. Her party is on Saturday night, so I will experience some of what NYC's night life has to offer. I need several party outfits to choose from. There's an all white affair to start off Blogging While Brown.

This doesn't sound like resting so far, does it? Well, after getting back to Houston on Sunday I'll rest. Monday through Wednesday I will chill in comfortable places. Maybe along the way I'll meet up with a friend or two. It's been a while since I saw some familiar faces. Next Thursday my vacation ends, but no one needs to dwell on that fact right now.

Well I'm on vacation officially. It feels really good. Also since I'm going out of town, there will be no activity on the blog until at least Sunday. Don't stop tuning it though. You haven't read everything. Click on my poetry link and browse.

Dirty Laundry (Sunday Reflections)

"This is off the record. This ain't for no radio. This ain't for no sales no. I'm just trying to let a mothafucka know."-- R. Kelly

This is a letter to my 30 year old self. In approximately 3 and a half years I'll reach that age, so I currently feel like I need to get some stuff off my chest. This is partially because I realize some of my goals are starting to come to fruition. So let me talk to my 30 year old self who will have gotten farther than I am now.

Dear 30 year old Lashuntrice Chevelle Bradley,
It's three and a half years ago. Some years ago you decided to call yourself MrsStarStatus. You hopped on every social network ever invented to try and optimize that name, but the optimization wasn't the point. The point was to establish yourself in the game, but not just to establish yourself. The point was to let others know that you were planning to one day be married to the lifestyle. You had some bumps in the road. Your feelings got hurt, you hurt feelings, and you shed silent tears on more than one occasion. Where you tried to create a successful journey, you ended up with some dirty laundry. You moved along, but forgot to wash some of those clothes. You decided you didn't need laundry detergent to continue on your path. You decided to live with your faults, leave some people in the past, and keep the ones that still seemed to care. Did I mention it's three and a half years ago. Currently I'm calm and determined. Well, sometimes I worry which is where you come from. I wonder what will have happened once I become you? I think about you. See you in three and a half years.

XOXO

2013 Sexy Men~ Karon Joseph (Episode Six of Love Thy Neighbor)

Football fans know him as Karon Riley. Actress Terri J. Vaughn knows him as a loving husband. The rest of us are having the pleasure of meeting him as actor Karon Josesph.

Karon Joseph has been in the acting game for several years and before that played professional football for the Washington Redskins. However, I didn't notice him until the sixth episode of Love Thy Neighbor. Everyone knows Tyler Perry has great taste in picking male actors. He played the health inspector that was attracted to Miss Hattie's daughter.

I was initially attracted to him also until I saw he has a ring on that finger. He was in love so he put a ring on it. That means I need to look at another man.

(I can still stare at photos, right?) Check out photos of this football player turned actor. Hopefully Tyler Perry gives him some more roles. Check out a few more photos below.

2013 Sexy Men: Andre Hall (Love Thy Neighbor)

Andre Hall is a sexy beast hiding on within a funny character on Tyler Perry's new show Love Thy Neighbor.

Upon seeing Hall play the role Danny Harris, Ms. Hattie's grandson, he comes across as an awkward mama's boy. He actually embodies the role Lance Gross played on House of Payne (except Lance Gross' character didn't want responsibilities). Lance Gross was also not initially a sex symbol. However, everyone discovered he was hiding nice eye candy. Andre Hall seems to be the same. Years ago he wasn't hiding his body, so pictures popped up on the google search. Keeping reading to find out a little about the new actor and see all my favorite photos of him. 

Via google search engine I found out Andre Hall moved to Los Angeles in 2008 and set out to be a supermodel. However, acting is his new calling and he's good at it. Love Thy Neighbor is his first major television role.

There are still some questions I have about Mr. Hall. How old is he? What kind of environment did he grow up in? What inspired him to go into modeling and acting? Is he still single? What kind of women is he interested in? These questions will get answered eventually. 

P.S. The model photos are from 2010.

Maybe because it's summer time and hot outside I'm feeling like objectifying a bunch of men. That
means the posts will continue.

John Brown~ You Ain't Right For Me (2013 Music)

Either this singer John Brown knows my heart or he just happened to put out music that expressed how I felt today.

For the first time in over a year I started to go deep into thought over the men that have crossed my paths. There have been a couple of them in 2013 alone. However, none seemed to be good for me. I'm trying to figure that out now. In fact I've been thinking about it so much that tears are threatening to come out. Although it hasn't gotten to that point yet, I happened to look up earlier and see a link to music on my Facebook page.

The song is called You Ain't Right For Me and it's by artist John Brown. Check it out below.

Not only can John Brown sing, but he is very attractive. 

Best Friend (Poem Inspired By Ravaughn's Song Best Friend)

Everyone has those people that pop back into their lives just for the sake of taking advantage of them. I used to have these experiences bad. Sometimes people still call themselves speaking to me again just because they think I'll do whatever they're asking. So I wrote this poem for those confused ass people that disappear, but won't stay ghosts. It's called Best Friend.

Best Friend

Not your fucking best friend

To the used-to-be friend

Been sitting on the bench too long

Dealing with missed phone calls

And selective texts back

We used to share everything

The fun times out

The drama that filled our lives

When a nigga cheated on you

And when a nigga played me

We’d chat it up all the time

Talking about goals and dreams

And planning girls only vacations

But it’s been a while

For some of my female friends months

And some other females years

Though I’ve heard you still mention me

Still think of me as a friend

I got news for you

I’m not your fucking best friend

Just like you’ve forgotten to speak with me

I’m forgetting your ass too

Not your fucking best friend

To the man that just don’t understand

Been sitting on the bench too long

Dealing with ignored phone calls

And only shallow texts back

Yeah, I caught on to that

You ignored my questions

What do you need in a girlfriend

You ignored the important stuff

Are you still fucking other women

I need to know

Are you messing with them basic bitches

Because I’d rather be the only one

The woman you keep on a pedestal

But you’re playing me

I can feel it

I’ve been sitting on this bench too long

Waiting for you to finally claim me

But lately I’ve come to realize

I’m not your fucking best friend

Don’t want that girlfriend title no more

It’s over

I’m not your fucking best friend

Not to be used as a last resort

Not even a close friend

Don’t call me when you need help

Maybe an acquaintance

Wasn’t meant to stay in your life

I could be your enemy

If we haven’t spoken in a while

I don’t want you in my life

You’re out of style

I’m not your fucking best friend

Just leave me alone

This poem was also inspired by Ravaughn's song Best Friend. You should definitely listen to it. 

P.S. I love all my friends. You know who you are. 

2013 Music Video Best Friend~ Ravaughn

"I'm not your fuckin' best friend. I've been sitting on this bench too long while you're playing with these basic take bitches."

"I'll be all you need and more than a fucking best friend."

This singer Ravaughn knows my heart. Check out the simple, yet classic look of her new video for the song Best Friend below. Following will be the lyrics because it's just that damn deep.

I know you got that perfect 20/20 baby

No need for them glasses or them contacts

So telle me why, tell me why, Why can’t you see?

Everytime you’re kissing her in front of me

It hurts, I’m human Baby

It hurts

I’m not your fuckin best friend

I’ve been sittin’ on this bench too long

While you’re playing with these

Basic fake chicks

And come complaining when it all goes wrong

If you open your eyes

And give sense a good try

I’ll be all you need

And more

Than a fuckin best friend

Was I ever an option on the phone talking

2 o’clock in the morning

Asking me to fix what’s broken

Open up my heart and then you stole it

Those random times I cross your mind

Do I give you butterflies?

Cuz baby I get chills every time I chill watcha

I’m not your fuckin best friend

I’ve been sittin’ on this bench too long

While you’re playing with these

Basic fake chicks

And come complaining when it all goes wrong

If you open your eyes

And give sense a good try

I’ll be all you need

And more

Than a fuckin best friend

You can’t tell me I’m crazy for felling this way

And maybe it’s the wrong time but I’m in the right place

So while you got me here look me straight in the eyes

And tells me everything I feel is a lie

Whoaaaaa

Cause’ I’m not your fuckin best friend

I’ve been sittin’ on this bench too long

While you’re playing with these

Basic fake chicks

And come complaining when it all goes wrong

If you open your eyes

And give sense a good try

I’ll be all you need

And more

Than a fuckin best friend

Who oh oh ho

Why can’t you see it?

It could be me and you

I’ll be all you need

And more

Than a fuckin best friend
