HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! i am so blessed that the Lord let me see another year. @ 12 on the dot i was greeted with songs, dances, hugs & kisses from my closest friends here @ school. & when i signed onto facebook the, it got even better because i had numerous wall posts, some pictures and even some videos of my talented friends singing "Happy Bday" to me. [check me out on FB 'Parris Desiree' to see them]. Although its raining here in Atlanta, i am trying to enjoy my day because i am blessed & loved genuinely. This is my last year being able to say im a teenager & i plan to live it up. Thanks everyone...the day is just beginning.

I saw Cadillac Records yesterday & the entire movie was amazing Beyonce played that part. She was cursing & crying all over the place. If you havent seen it stop reading because im about to ruin a small part for you. Anyway, Etta James{Beyonce} & Leonard Chess{Adrien Brody} have an affair & fall in love. Chess decides to sell the record label on which James was signed & in the scene she decides to sing one last song for him. It just so happens that song is a direct description of their situation. Beyonce must have been thinking about something tragic because she sang that song & cried all at the same time. While watching it i cried myself...it was touching. The scene, song, & lyrics are intense.

I have been obssessed with this woman since "The Way I Are" when people had no clue as to who she was. She has been writing for people like Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Rihanna for years and now its her time to shine. This song {along with her version of Turn My Swag On} have been on repeat on my iPod for weeks now & I am too psyched that she released a video for it!!!! Check it out & buy her album that just hit stores 3.24.09. Her time is now & she WILL kill it!
Attending a HBCU has opened my eyes to what we call the GREEK LIFE. The upperclassman pride themselves on becoming apart of the prestigious fraternities & sororities on campus. Whether it be those sophisticated Deltas, sweet AKAs, nasty Q Dogs, smooth Kappas, or the down to earth Alphas its a big deal. Every now and then a week is dedicated to the celebration of one of the Greeks. This upcoming week belongs to the Alphas. They will have the promenade on lock & im sure they have some great things planned for their fellow students. Make sure you check out the "Miss Black & Gold" pageant on Thursday night & im sure the stroll off is on Friday. I must say i adore the men of Alpha Phi Alpha & love having friends on the line.
Today marks the official 1st day of spring & that means "FREE ITALIAN ICE @ RITA'S". For all the people that go to my school that ask "Who is Rita?", i have no idea, but i do know that if you have never had the sweet, juicy, icy flavorful thing in that red & white cup then you are deproved. I was priveliged to have one right next door to my job at home so they pretty much got all my money lol. They have every flavor you can think of from mango, strawberry, chocolate, lemonade, iced tea, cherry, blueberry,custard & or you can choose a Gelati which is the flavored ice with frozen custard on the bottom & top. I also love how they give you the punch cards {buy 10 & you get one free}, i didnt get to finish this last one because i started school, but anywho if you've never had it TRY IT!! for my friends here in the A there is one in the Underground & one by Perimeter.....
I was too psyched when i heard the infamous AUC{atlanta university center} HUMP WEDNESDAY was returning. When i started at CAU last semester everyone was like come out to H.W., its hype blah, blah, blah. I just thought it was just some other event we always go to. NO SIR! I walked over to Morehouse and the crowd was massive. There was music playing, food smelling good, dancing, & a little of everything going on out there. I saw so many familiar faces & even the little midget Bow Wow. I immediately made it my business to attend every Wednesday. When the weather got cold the weekly event got put on hold & this past Wednesday the fun began again. I again saw people i hadnt seen in soooo long & it felt good to just chill. Here are a few pictures of what goes on {this is for you Marlena lol}
This song is old & i used to despise it honestly, but my sis has brought it back to life. A few guys from home formed a group {151 Boyz} and recorded a video on youtube for their song "Cheekies". When i went home for X~mas break the song was played in the club & i could not believe that entire club did it. I thought it was the funniest thing ever & i came back to school & showed my roomate. She hated it right along with me then one day last week she was singing it & i couldnt believe it. Now she plays it to death & is determined to learn the dance. I support anyone from home who is trying to do something positive & entertains. The song is growing on me & we played it to death last week while we were in Miami. No one really gets Baltimore so dont try...just watch the video & be easy.
I am lucky enough to be living with someone who adores music just as much as i do. My roomie & i leave the TV on 24/7 {literally- i mean its already paid for, im gonna get my $28,000 worth}, but its always on mute & we blast music like its nobodies business. We both have our preferences, she knows every India Arie album like i know every Lil Wayne mixtape. However, we do agree more than disagree & thats when the trouble starts. In between screaming to hear each other & people knocking on our door because its too loud we escape in our favorites for hours at a time. i just figured i'd share some of our recent list with you guys & maybe you'll grow to love it just as we do...
