It’s Been A Long Time… Not Really
So I’m back from my little forced hiatus. There have been a few changes since my last post. First let’s get into why I was gone. My laptop caught a nasty virus that basically destroyed my hard drive so I had to get it replaced. The good thing about it was that it gave me a chance to upgrade the size of the hard drive and ram. The bad part is that I now have to find the gagillion website that I bookmarked and install all my programs again. Major pain!! Anyway, I’m back and will hopefully post some more stuff soon.
So there’s been a bunch of stuff going on since I last left you guys. Let’s see.. Hmm… Okay, the Chris/Rihanna thing *not gonna talk to much about it*, AIG just blew threw/wasted $60 Billion in one quarter and need another bailout, I now work from home, CW is pulling the plug on ‘The Game’. There’s a lot more I’m sure but those are the things I’ll discuss this go ’round.
Aiight so The Chris/Rihanna this is just dead wrong. That’s all I’m saying on that one.
I can’t believe AIG is $60 billion in debt once again! Kinda glad I don’t work there anymore because it doesn’t look like things are going to get any better anytime soon.
I’m working from home now. I make a little less than I did before but it equals out once you add in savings on gas and such. It’s cool but I just have to work on my attention skills. *It’s about the size of a nat’s brain.* I can’t complain though, in this economy I’m happy to have a job. It’s just hard for me to focus with Boogie aka Squirt aka Prince aka King *yes he changes his name daily* running around crazy. Of course, like anything I’ll make it work.
I heard from my sister Sane that they are going to or have already pulled the plug on one of my favorite shows ‘The Game’. Now you know I’m pissed off about this right! This was the last of the black sitcoms. I doubt if it’ll even get a final show. They’ll just do it the same way they did ‘Girlfriends’ and ‘Moesha’. They should at least finish out this season, I mean how am I gonna find out if Derwin & Med school broke up for good and what about the baby? Who’s the black girl that Jason moved on with? So many questions will have to go unanswered. This sucks major! Not as bad as say the economy but that was an escape I had from reality for about 30 minutes a week. I should have seen it’s demise when they started playing it on BET.
Since I’ve been home I have been watching a large amount of daytime television and I must say… Daytime TV sucks major! I mean nothing really interesting comes on. I used to think that I was missing so much when I was away at school or work during the day but nope! not missing much. I do like watching Regis & Kelly, Maury * the morning show because that’s the DNA results episodes* and The View, but other than that there’s not to much else. Dr. Phil but that comes on in the afternoon so it doesn’t really count. I do watch a lot of Noggin* It’s like preschool on TV* with the yungin.
I think that’s about it for me. What’s been going on in your world?
*Update- I just checked my Dvr and there will be a new (possibly the last) episode of ‘ The Game’ coming on March 13th At 8:30 pm est 7:30 pm cst so set your Tivo’s, Dvr’s, watches, phones, time clocks or whatever you need to do to remind yourself!*

Sin!!! First of all, I LOVE your new lay out! It’s so…..simple but I love black, it’s my favorite color so you get a HUGE thumbs up for going “dark”
Second, I had no idea you left AIG! Have I really been gone that long? sheeeeeeesh.
Dead @ Boogie and his name changes and OMG, I still have SO many questions about The Game too! They BETTER finish out this season!
As for me, you know what i’ve been up to but i’m glad to see you’re back, bruh! And thanks for the shout out!

Hey Sane!!
Thanks, Black is my second favorite color behind royal or navy blue. I left AIG about 2 weeks ago, the same week my laptop died on me, so you haven’t missed too much. lol You know Boogie is gonna be Boogie… I need to write these folks from CW about the Game. You know they sent me an email not too long ago asking about my recaps and for me to send them some samples in hopes of doing stuff with them. They got me so heated right now! I just knew big things were coming! lol they better finish this season out but I don’t think so…

glad you are back…..
I am not surprised to hear AIG ran thru the money and need more. Afterall they were one of the first with their hands out and then turn around and splurge on a costly executive retreat.
If they cancel The Game, I wont tune into that channel anymore.
I am tired of hearing about Chris and Rihianna……let them do their thing…..everyone learns in their own time and season. They have to make mistake to learn.

hey 808!
Thanks! I’m glad to be back.
the whole Chris/Rihanna thing has been getting beaten *no pun intended* and dragged through the media for too long. I say let them work it out on their own.
When I was at AIG I worked for one of the only profitable sites they had and I saw a lot of money being wasted. Even though they made a good profit, they ate a bunch of it up on stupid stuff. In my opinion.

I feel like I can say… as a federal government employee, AIG can straight kiss my ass. Whoo… that felt good. One of my close friends interned for one of the companies they usurped. She was so happy to be done with that internship.
Meanwhile, welcome back.
As for The Game. I’m sadly NOT surprised. Terri J. Vaughn produced a documentary featuring black actresses. One of them, Dawnn Lewis I believe, said “the networks tell us we’re good enough to get their company off the ground, but not good enough to keep around” and CW is only further proof that she’s right.
I have to be fair and not place all the blame on the network. The Game writers hit some blocks along the way. I don’t know if it was genuine “what do we do now?” or if they were trying anything they could to keep viewers. Tragic, tragic, tragic.

welcome back of course. Boogie is going to be a force to reckon with think kanye times a 1000 lol.

Sup A.Smith
Yeah they kinda squandered away that money. that’s just my opinion. I mean I wasn’t in any of the budget meetings but just from my observations working there I see where lots of things could have been cut.
The writers on the show did seem like they hit a wall or suntin. It’s like the stories started to become lame and made no sense. It got boring quick and I think that’s what might have brought the ratings down, which in turn probably got them cancelled.
What up Ms J
Thanks and I’m glad to finally be back! yeah Boog is really feeling himself lately. But I’m gonna put an end to that pretty soon lol
