Motivation Mondays...

No wordplay motivation. Just enjoying my day off. Tryna keep my mind off of foolery and chill in peace mentally {company would be nice tho #shrug} . G O O D Music and $$$. That's enough for me. Enjoy your week people




Side Commentary: When the homies Junie/Dizzy posted this [song]....I played it over and over again...got me through my last hours of the day at work. The sample is ridiculous...I think I figured out two of the sources...but I haven't stamped it yet...not yet.. S/o To Deviant Art...for that great piece up top.

This past weekend... I heard the news friday night while I was having a date with the water and mr. 'cardi superior. I decided I was going to wait until Monday to make the post. My homie grace posted a song by him up on twit... I RT'd it and said the lyrics... it wasn't until she replied...that I realized he passed. Sigh

Happy Memorial Day...

Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all the soldiers who put their lives on the line for our country and the fallen ones who paid the ultimate price. We salute you.

My favorite military song (ironically)...Lyrics are too real..I know many that feel like this when they're deployed....

Late Nights and Early Mornings....

I live that. That's my reality. It's unfortunate that today.... it's not a calm feeling. I went to sleep on a bad note. Had all types of nightmares that you wouldn't believe. And although I went to sleep late... I still happened to be up early as a result. I am in thee WORST of moods.. with a full blown Wednesday Face and praying I don't react fully on how I'm feeling. Ugh. Something has got to give......

Update: I actually did end up acting how I felt. smh. Just spazzed out. Reminded of why I'm so distant from everyone.

Cotton Candy... Sneakgasms

The discrimination.... these wouldn't dare come in my size ... (a mere size 3 is considered "Toddler" in shoe stores -_-). However... it's something about this aqua and pink laces that draws my attention... i'd love to see someone kill these w/ a bangin outfit. #Oww

Thanks to my homies Dizzy and Junie at the NQM. Your post couldn’t have come at a better time…

Jadakiss says ...I LOVE YOU

Of course.. I'm a little behind this week on my music. I FINALLY got a chance to listen to the "I Love You" mixtape by Jada. I like it. It's really short... so it's been on repeat so far to get me through the day. Productivity at the plantation. Jada does it again.. I need to get this in the whip ASAP.

#HIGHLIGHT- “How 2 Feel”


I particularly love this one for the mild “Nite and Day” Al B. Sure sample. It makes me smile :) Plus.. I have my hair in the perfect china bun w/ my silver hoops... Stylin at the PLANTATION (i normally wear studs).. feeling a certain kinda way. This might be my fav...



“Sweats and the pony tail just give me the chills… we got our own handshake… and she know how I like my pancakes...”

It's Been Too Long...Thoughts

It has been such a hectic week… for more reasons than one. Aye yi yi. I don’t know what to do with my self. No empowerment this week (WEW post) … I haven’t found the time to even empower myself :-/ What to think what to think… what to say… what to say… how to feel… how to feel… #Clockwork in my mind. My mental is the epitome of #NoDaysOff. I’m looking forward to this holiday weekend… Maybe I can relax a little… unwind… and

Carpe Diem.

What Money are YOU Wasting???

I thought this was interesting. According to the latest report of CNN Money... The top 10 things people waste money on as follows:

ATM Fees
Lottery Tickets
Gourmet Coffee
Cigarettes
Informercial Impulsive Buys
Brand Name Groceries
Eating Out
UnUsed Gym Membership
Daily Internet Deals
Bundled Cable or Phone Services

Which ones apply to you??? Check the List out HERE

Exchange of..... Love

So like I mentioned (week before last since I was ill).... I've been posting a highlight of music every week that's on my playlist (i.e. past posts Stalley... Theo London... Ski Beatz/Camp Lo etc.) Like I stated before... majority of the songs I've chosen for these posts (with the exception of Jill and A.Hamilton that time).. they aren't new. They are just simply my highlight of the week. For whatever reason I may have. I still haven't figured out a signature name for these posts. Until then... they'll have random ones that are designated essentially to the music. It's kinda gloomy outside and my mind is racing on 1000 as usual. What better choice than the spoken word of music for this week than the selection today.. #HowFitting.... In more ways than one...

With you it's either Right or Wrong... There's no "In Between"

I don't feel like a fight today...

Each bar is dope beyond the track. The 3:30 mark is when it REALLY this the fan #ApplauseForGoodMusic clap clap clap

*Extra....

Bring your love baby I can bring my shame...

Bring the drugs baby I can bring my pain...

I got my heart right here, I got my scars right here…

That’s my motherf*ckin word too...

Just let me mother*cking love you….

Reflection: I mean... Honestly Speaking. #DeepBreath....#Damn

May 30th- BBWives Season 3 Premiere.. Single Ladies

VH1 isn't playing this memorial holiday with the night time line up for the Ladies. 8pm premieres season 3 of Basketball Wives, which debuts a new cast member- Meeka Claxton, wife of former NBA champ Speedy Claxton. Jen finally makes a step to divorcing Eric. Tami confronts Evelyn yet... AGAIN about her backstabbing ways. Royce finally gets to "pop off" on another season when her and Evelyn quickly get into a scuffle and so forth and so forth. Ahhh... the drama continues.

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

At 9pm.. the new series (produced by Queen Latifah) "Single Ladies" premieres starring Stacey Dash, LisaRaye McCoy, and Charity Shea. A urban feel to Sex and The City I think. Watch the trailer. Looks like I'll be staying up to 10 on Mondays lol :)

Who Run This Mutha!??

I always get excited when Bey is dropping a new album. She never fails to disappoint and ALWAYS has a lead single BANGER. I've seen so much hate thrown this way on her new song... but it is incredible to me. I L O V E it. Go Bey!

She unveils her new album cover entitled "4", which should be obvious of importance (Her birthday- Sept. 4, Her Wedding Day- Apr. 4, MY her Husband's birthday- Dec. 4 etc.). I don't think it looks like her on the cover. Nevertheless... i like it. It's powerful in it's own way and tastefully raunchy, might I add

Here's the visuals for Bey's new single.. Run The World (Girls)... Get it bey! She goes in!

*Kanye Voice... BA-BY... Don't Worry 'Bout it...

Simple enough. I wanted to use something fun but yet still meaningful today. All that drama and foolishness going on... girl who cares. Let your hair down.. Dance..Laugh..Live.. Have Fun. In any situation... #KNOWyourworth. That should be enough to smile. So as ye' says... Why. are. you. so. pa.ra.no.id??

....Baby don't worry 'bout it.

I mean.. it's not like they know YOU anyway... *wink lls

Muah lovies.. you're beautiful




Self Reflection: I suffer with this too often... but I myself always needs that little reminder...

Where'd She Go?

Ahhhh… I’m Backkkkk. I’ve been away for a while. I got sick last week and didn't tell anyone but a few (and spared little to no details) I don't like people to worry. Didn't matter tho... something else got jealous and wanted to act up >_< My lupus decided to get rear it’s ugly head and flare up. To top that off… I had a ridiculous allergic reaction to the new meds they put me on last week that decided to show up on my face.. ears.. arms.. hands… EVERYwhere. I looked like a monster :( Any who… I am so greatful.. the pain is gone away. The reaction not fully… but has made a vast improvement. The hospital decided to take me off of the new meds I received last week and put me on two more new meds this week #gofigure. So far.. they’ve been working pretty well (in my eyes). I mean...well.. I’m here! This is my first day back at work (of course I’m not suppose to be here. But I’m hard headed ). Lol. Throughout any job I had… I literally had to be near death to call out. I NEVER liked/like to miss work. Each vacation I’ve been on this year… I still took work with me (no OT.. not asked to..). I’m just that hard of a worker. Unfortunately…. That’s one of my downfalls. Not only is it RARELY recognized, but… I never take time out.. for just ME. I’m still working on it though.

I was in such a great mood this morning when I woke up. Jammin in the car (as usual) on the way to work. That feeling didn’t last long after the 6 block walk to get here lls. The atmosphere bought my mood down. I was so excited to be at work again… but idk.. it just felt WEIRD (for lack of a better word). I need to be home resting up.. but me being me… once I feel the SLIGHTEST bit of better… I have to be back on the move. The show MUST go on.

I just wanted to say Thank you to everyone who checked on me that knew I was ill.. wondered where I was because they'd saw less tweet or e-mail activity and decided to call or text... showed their concerns etc. etc. I REALLY appreciate it. A special thank you to my Mom…. She was by my side the entire time. I thank her tremendously for that… it made me feel a way I can’t explain. *french accent Merci everyone!. Although I’m not fully recovered.. I’m back. and again I just wanted to say…. THANK YOU!

XOXO- Dolcezza

What a coincidence...

Ok.. so i get on necole bitchie today on my lunch break... and to my surprise.. the first post that pops up is about color blocking... hmm... I don't wanna toot my own horn.. but BEEP BEEP!

Sike nah.. lmaooo.. that would be nice though.

Whoever posted that must've had that on the brain today just like i did lol

Women's Empowerment Wednesdays...

I went over and over again with the message I wanted to put in this post today, but once it came down to relaying it on here.. I froze. I could not for the life of me convey everything I was thinking into this post... anything at all. Either my mind is too boggled with tackling down all the other issues running around in my thoughts or it's just that deep. Idk. I will say though... hang in there lady... while you're down and out.. someone is thinking and praying for you. It's true for those blessed to have it... Nothing's better than those you can count on. Unfortunately, it's a rarity nowadays...what happened to Girl Power?? Where's the unity??

His Music Lives On.. 30 Years Later

Today marks the 30th anniversary of music activist Bob Marley's Death. If alive, he would have been 66 this year. Incredibly, His music and persona is even more popular today and as time goes on. Another legend gone...but never forgotten...

Amber meets KING

The voluptuous Amber Rose graces this month’s cover of King. Not sure what her photospread looks like… but judging by the cover, I’m sure most of the guys will enjoy. I think they could’ve gave her a better cover (style wise #JustMyOpinion)… but hey.. regardless.. she still looks flawless as usual. Her body is #KILLER.

BTW... I just love these two together... <3

Fashion Craze: COLOR BLOCK

Color Blocking Trend.. Spring/Summer 2011

Color Blocking: Blocks of solid colors worn together

I L O V E the new fashion trend for the Spring/Summer 2011. It’s so innovative and bold. Color blocking gives you not just a sense of confidence, but a statement of STYLE. This fashion dates back to the 1960s where it was glamorized through “Mod Fashion”. Now it’s BACK…. and with a vengeance!

Meee:) lol

Video :: Red Nation | The Game x Lil Wayne

The song title alone is so demanding... I love it.

Ahem... any way...

I never realized the vague similarity to “Run this Town” in the beat until I saw this video (of course which brought it to my attention because the videos are VERY similar). Apparently, according to Game who has been ranting and raving on twitter, it’s banned from all music network stations (i.e. BET... MTV...VH1 etc). Idk why…. It’s not that bad to me. Shoot Run this town was rougher with the fire and demonic rihanna faces #shrug. I like this one though. Game went in.

Who run the world???...

Today is such a bittersweet day for me for a reason I won't disclose. However, I am completely thankful that my mom is alive and in my life. I don't show emotion often ...but... I love that little lady to death. More than I could ever describe. xoxo


Happy Mother's Day Mom and to All you other Mother's out there... Keep doing what you're doing. You're appreciated so much more than anyone can express.....

"At 3 yrs "Mommy, I love you". At 10, "Mom whatever". At 16, "My Mom is so annoying".At 18, "I wanna leave this house". At 25,"Mom, you were right". At 30, "I wanna go to Mom's house". At 50, "I don't wanna lose my Mom". At 70, "I would give up EVERYTHING for my Mom to be here with me"....-Anonymous

Ecstatic...

I've been L O O K I N G for this song ever since I heard it in FL that friday night. I ask 'em "what song is this?" ..CLEARLY because the 25 LIGHTERS sample is C R A Z Y.... of course.. i got a stupid response -_- #ExtraAsHell lol. Any who.. I just happened to have the music on random today at the place of employment(per you tube).. and what do you know.... Sunshine :D

Here's a Bonus... Swang Remix Sample.. original sample LADY OF MY LIFE- Michael Jackson of course... RIP

Thoughts in the Universe...

Sometimes...when I am remaining silent... and the weight of the world is on my shoulders which always seems to be all at once as it is now:: work.. family.. love... money...LIFE you name it... it's there :: the best way for me to express myself is through writing or music....<<<<< Here we go.... Application to them all.

You made me strong... but you became my weakness....

BUT YOU TOOK FOR GRANTED HOW A SISTAH CARES...

Side Commentary: Putting up stalley last week made me want to do a "real music" highlight post of whatever i've been bangin all week. Unfortunately... I can't think of a name for the post. Any suggestions??? Oh yea... i love this picture.. simply because of knife biting... SUBLIMINAL all in itself...

This empowerment for today is much deeper than I’m willing to express on here at least ..and what I would love for someone close to get through their head.... #pause

Oddly enough, I won’t write a message on this one as I’ve done for all my WEW posts. It’s more of one for your own personal reflection. The bumpy road on the journey to True Happiness…. #ThinkAboutIt . Sometimes... that's all the empowerment we need...


Man I promise, she's so self conscious...

...She's so precious with the peer pressure...

...And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe...
