This Internet Thing, Hmmmm...???

Heeeeey lovely bloggers/readers!

Ok so, I was just put into a situation that really got me to thinking. There has been an overflow of new technology with all these new sites, or those that have been up a while but are really starting to BOOM now...i.e. Twitter!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Twitter & what it's all bout, I'm going to need yall to tune into this place we all call, uh...EARTH maybe!!! Lol. Twitter is like this new phenomenon and everybody who's anybody (just about) has a page on twitter, and even the "nobodies" of the world (like myself) has a twitter page as well. Twitter allows you to "follow" those that you know, love, admire and etc. But the problem with the site is, what if someone on twitter is REALLY following you?!

For instance, some people...including myself, seem to tweet about every little thing that goes on with them that's exciting or is weighing heavily on their brain and so on. We sometimes tweet about where we are and where we're going. But we fail to realize that there could possibly be someone on twitter that's "following us" but they're also "FOLLOWING US!!!"

This was brought to my attention by my FAVORITE artist, Mr. Trigga-Trey Songz himself (YUUUP! lol). When Trey mentioned it in one of his tweets we were all bugging like WTF?! He didn't go as in depth with it as I am now but he sparked the thought in my mind and my "situation" didn't help either. All Trey said was, what if someone comes up to you in public and ask you how was the food you had cooked the night before? Let me remind you, YOU DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON FROM ADAM!!! Your first thought will NOT be, oh ok he/she must be "following me" on twitter...I know mine DEFINITELY wouldn't! I would spazz the fuck out (excuse my language) and be ready to mop the floor with whomever it could be coming to me like that without REALLY knowing me. It could be a completely harmless approach but it would really do a number on me.

So my questions for you all are: Am I tripping or could this site that SO MANY of us love be potentially but not intentionally harmful to our wellbeing? What would you do if this happened to you? (real life stalkers & run in with someone who's just "following you" on twitter)

I'm interested in finding out all of your thoughts!!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT TWITTER!

Hello loves...

I was just on my twitter page, well I'm still on there...multitasking! Lol. Anywho, Terrence J from 106 and Park mentioned something that sparked my interest enough to blog about it. The topic is twitter itself and how he HATES when people that aren't on twitter always has something negative to say about the site. He was just saying how people shouldn't judge us about it because they don't understand why we love it.

I AGREE WITH YOU 100% TJ!!!

That really irks me too because my friends on facebook and/or myspace are always like, "FUCK TWITTER, THAT SHIT GAY!" I'm not understanding how you can downplay something that you haven't tried before. I can understand someone being a bit skeptical but not just writing it off as it being lame or whatever when they know nothing about it.

To those of you that tweet on twitter (I always thought that sounded a lil funny! LOL), how do you feel? Have you received responses like this from your friends and/or family. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!!!

Here are some twitter pages that some of you might want to consider looking at, just to name a few:
twitter.com/SongzYuuup (You know what it is, ♥Trey Songz♥)
" "/TerrenceJ106 (self explanatory)
" "/LTLline (Jermaine Dupri)
" "/nachojohnny (Bryan-Michael Cox)
" "/lamborghinibow (Bow Wow)
" "/iamDiddy (Diddy...duh! Lol)
" "/Willie_Day26 (self explanatory!)
" "/_Misunderstood_ (♥Yours Truly♥ :)

*I'll be back with more topics loves and I can't wait to read your responses...until next time, SMOOCHEZ!*

Happy Birthday Shawntae Harris (Da Brat)

Hello World...

I was on twitter today and JD (Jermaine Dupri for those who obviously stay on another planet! lol) let everyone know that today is Da Brat's birthday. He let us know that we could go on his blog (www.global14.com) and wish her a happy birthday. It was so funny to me because I had just been thinking about her and how I miss her in the music industry. For those who don't know me personally, I am a lover of music of all kinds especially hiphop & r&b. And it really doesn't get much better than Da Brat when is comes female MCs...MCs period really. She is better than a VERY large percentage of the fellas in the game right now but it seems like folks have forgotten.

Anywho, when I read JD's message I was so excited because I was just saying how the game isn't the same anymore. Our youth has no idea what real music is and doesn't respect the game. It's not just the youth either, some old-heads have lost sight of what this thing is really about...where's the love? I can go on and on about the industry in particular but we'll save that for another time. I just thought I'd share that with you because it was on my mind and it seemed to fit so well.

On another note, Da Brat is currently serving time in prison for those who don't know... if you have love for her and would like to send her a letter, card or whatever...here's her info:
Shawntae Harris #1287419
Lee Arrendale State Prison
P.O. Box 709
Alto, GA. 30510

***LET'S SHOW HER SOME LOVE...WHETHER IT BE THROUGH PRAYER AND/OR SENDING HER A LETTER! IF WE DON'T LOVE OUR PEOPLE AND HOLD THEM DOWN, WHO WILL???!!!

***CHECKOUT JD'S BLOG TOO, GLOBAL14, BRYAN-MICHAEL COX HAS A BLOG AS WELL (BRYAN'S JOURNEY)...HERE'S THE URL: www.firstofdecember.wordpress.com

Woman Work (POEM by Maya Angelou)

***Here's a great poem for my ladies...the women that grind it out no matter how bad the storm may get and the fellas that love us and appreciate all that we do. You're not alone mama, regardless of how things may seem...continue to do what you need to do and God will continue to see you through! God Bless you all.

Woman Work by Maya Angelou

I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got shirts to press
The tots to dress
The can to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.

Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.

Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
'Til I can rest again.

Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.

Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You're all that I can call my own.

PHENOMENAL WOMAN (POEM by Maya Angelou)

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies
I say, it's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my step
The curl of my lips

I'm a woman, phenomenally
Phenomenal woman,that's me

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing in my waist
And the joy in my feet

I'm a woman, phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that's me

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see
I say,It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style

I'm a woman, phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that's me

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud
I say,It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care

Cause I'm a woman, phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, that's me

Alone-POEM

~Alone~

Alone...without nothing or no one to call my own

So much before but now its gone

Supposed to have been the beginning but look how it ended

Said we would stay together forever no matter how bad the rain or stormy weather

Thought we would see each other get married, have kids and grow old together

We were family and it couldnt be any better

As close as kin but this is now and that was then

Never thought something so stupid and simple would bring us to an end

Seems like way back when, when we were best friends

Clowning and joking together is what I see while reminiscing

At times I find myself wishing that I could undo Gods vision

Saying that there was a reason for us to click in the beginning

But then there has to be a reason for us going our separate ways

I guess in the end all the pain and hurt brings better days

Me being solo was the ultimate plan

And from now on being alone is how I stand

But only in the physical for I always have God in the spiritual

Tha Truth-POEM(small)

*Another one of my favorite poems from Yours Truly*


Truth...

mainly known as... a statement proven to be or accepted as true...
also described and defined as conformity to fact and actuality...
in my case it would be a reality...of who I am and what I'm about...
because ONLY the realest ish should be uttered from my mouth...
So now that you know why Derria and 'Tha Truth' goes hand in hand...
Never should I be forgotten, mistaken or confused with you and any other woman nor man...
Ya UndaStand???

'THA TRUTH'

*Shout out to Matt (Lib) for the inspiration! Lol.*

Under Construction...

Heeeeey! For those of you who are familiar with me and this blog...yes I'm revamping it, so be patient with me please. Thanx for coming through.

Music, Life and Love-POEM

Music, Life & Love

Some people say that music is equivalent to love and love is equivalent to life...

but how can you love life and not music; love music but hate life and/or love...

how can one experience life without love...

experience love without music...

love and listen to music without the memory of one of life's many experiences...

maybe love in itself...

Isn't music the one thing that helps love make sense to us all...

Isn't music our outlet and inspiration...

our way out of some of our biggest issues in life...

stress, depression, loneliness, heartache, pain...

I believe that each one is equivalent to the other...

you need the other two in order to have and/or understand the one at hand...

Love Is Music, Music Is Life and Life Is Love...

LET'S LIVE IT!

Subconscious Illusion-POEM

*This is one of my favorite poems...written by yours truly..it's old but hey...

Subconscious Illusion

In the back of my mind; haunting images of you and me,

unaware of the ending and the beginning but the present is as clear as can be,

my mind is flooded with thoughts on top of more thoughts,

how did I get here; which way do I go,

answers that only God know and can show,

but am I really that blind; am I really clueless to the facts,

or is this just an act...a subconscious illusion that I 've kept in my head...way in the back,

this isn't real...or could it be true...never would I have ever thought I'd have these type of feelings for you,

the thought of you and I makes my head pound and heart ache,

but the envisions make my toes curl and knees shake,

lips quivering and body shivering,

the dreams seem so real to me...every touch and glance I can both feel and see,

the many things I'd do to have you next to me...but yet and still we can't be...or can we,

I want these feelings and images to go away but at the same time I'm begging that they stay,

that has to be the reason for them leaving and resurfacing,

I've wanted you all the time and that's why it comes so naturally when flirting,

but this can't be good for me and you either for that matter,

can you imagine all the thoughts and the amount of chit-chatter,

but this is the way it is, it's no longer a question to me, a subconscious illusion is what these dreams about you are now and have always been to me!

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hello my fellow bloggers and viewers!

For those of you who may not know me personally and heard about my blog from a friend or etc., let me take this time to introduce myself. I'm Queen and welcome to my blog...feel free to comment as you please. Constructive criticism is cool with me and negative comments are welcome too...this is a blog so express yourself however you see fit.



On to other things...


I decided to start this blog because I love writing, it has always helped me vent, and/or better explain myself. So from time to time, I'm not sure how often, I'll post discussion topics on here so that I can get something off of my chest or just to give you all a lil insight of what life is like for me on a day to day basis. If I happen to have a heated discussion, or debate if you will, and it seems interesting enough to post on here I will do so. I also love to write and read poetry, so if I write something new I'll post it or share some of my favorite poems by other people (or myself) with you all. Thanx for stopping by and come back as much as you like.
