Don't Lie, You know you love: Tiny and Toya ! YEAHHHH BAAABBY

I've been waiting so long for this to premeire and also for there to be an empty 30 min in my living room so that I can focuse on the foolishness that is both Tiny and Toya. The accents, the weaves, the Louis bags...Oh my!

I won't lie and act like as soon as I saw the commercial for this I didnt set the DVR, I surely did. As I watched the first episode, I was completely satisfied with the tomfoolery. Now sit there and shake your head. Yeah, I know your too good to watch such. Your busy watching CNN and
CSPAN and Headline News when you wanna relax, but here I am talking about what is probably the most hood tv show since Keisha Cole but third in line to this coming falls "Frankie and Neffe" (gon' DVR that too...might even throw a party for it!) I know, I know...far, but with the canceling of Girlfriends, The Game, and shit I can't even remember the other good (entertaining/positive) black shows that used to come, where else am I to turn. Gotti's Way?, Baldwin Hills?, Harlem Heights?, all perfectly good examples of great black shows, but I need more. I know there's some room for debate on that last point but at the end of the day and yes in 2009 Im still looking for some kinship in my entertainment world. RE-RUNS OF The Cosby Show WILL NOT SUFFICE! I need to see my people in the shows that I watch and the magazines that I read, because lets face it...at the end of the day, all we really want is images of what we should aspire to. We need images that will keep us away from hording the same damn speedy LV duffle over and over and over again, I mean, we wouldnt want to make a fool of ourselves would we?

Damn

So June came and went and I havent even really noticed. This is especially lame considering its my birthday month. It didnt really pop off, but I think that's part of being grown(Or maybe its part of being broke ...Anyway). I did however get the chance to hang out with some really cool folks on my bday/weekend.

I went home to see my 4 year old niece graduate from kindergarten. I walked her to school and insisted on taking her to her classroom door. When she dismissed me with a snide little "Aunt Cassandra you can go now." I held them back and said "Ok Chicken Butt...see you later." No hugg later she was skipping into class without even a look back. Cold on a bitch. View the offender.

I got to meet my nephew Kahndeh for the first time and Im in love. Smiles galore and lots of kisses for Aunty.

Yeah, I know...thats how we make'em. Sorry we don't donate eggs.

See all my babies!!! LOVE them!

When I returned my home girl Tamara had arrived in NY to chill for the week. We didnt do too much, but did have a good time at brunch with Kirt Hangtootough.

See T!

Not sure what I was channeling but, I felt the fierceness.

This guy. I swear I have more pics of the back of his head than I could count. Oh ye of low self confidence.

We, Tamara and I, went to see the Wiz con Ashanti. I don't know why they hate, but she was belting out that damn ease on down the road. I cried a little, largely because I dont get out much and being there and doing something was really overwelming, but its all good.

We had a nice dinner out and just talked about life and this awkward ass transitional period called your mid twentys. Not all its cracked up to be folks....not at all!

So in addition to that, theres work, and the usual masses of nothingness. June didnt really popoff but hopefully July will. Im honestly done with summer and can't wait to get into fall, fall clothes, fall weather, and some different shit. I'll keep you posted.
