"didn't nobody jump you...we beat yo a**"

So I was cruisin' Mediatakeout again and I see this CRAZY story. To make a long story short...a salon owner/hairdresser in Oakland got her boo-TAY whooped for spreadin rumors (at least that's what it sounds like). She told one client that another client was sleepin wit her man. And these gutta hoes came to handle some bit-ness (aka business). What I don't understand is....this girl did not fight back!!!! I don't care what the consequence was...i would NEVER take a beatdown like this. Check it:

Looks Can Last A Lifetime...Is Hair Included?...

So I wanted to experiment (That's how I ended up with natural hair). STL Fashion Week is approaching and I dare to be different. I guess different for me this time meant weave. Sew in...i don't DO glue. So I had my friend SuJo hook me up. I wanted to look like Traci Ellis Ross. She did her thing and I stepped out into the world. Hooked up with my fellow Monarchs and they laughed at me because this was a different Twiggy (Mr. Nesbitt seemed to be the most excited). So I went around...got sum compliments...and got sum funny looks. No biggie.

I get home around 11pm and look in the mirror to see how I was gon style my hair for the next day.....There was nothing I could do with it. I mean...I did sum styles but the hair was SOOO big (the pictures don't do it justice) that it looked fake (even tho it was human hair)...and I am far from fake. So I started getting frustrated and then BAM!...There goes an anxiety attact. My eyes started watering....i was breathing angrily...and i started punching the air (ok...that was an exaggeration). I couldn't take it anymore. I politely told SuJo that I appreciated her time and effort...but this wasn't Twiggy. I took the weave out (which was a even more stressful process) and i washed my hair. Didn't go to bed until 3am.

I guess you have to make mistakes along the journey to find your way. *shrugs*

Pieces of a Wack 2009 for Mr. Nesbitt

Man o Man. These past few weeks have been mighty trashy for Mr. Nesbitt. And I was there to experience most of it.

First, he's excited because he gets a new SD card in the mail. He was about to go crazy with the blog posting. Turn for the worst: his SD card won't read on his comp...or sumthin like that. Either way it goes...the sh*t wasn't workin. *sigh* Less than an hour later...he goes to get on his laptop and *insert BOMB here*...it FAILS! There goes the black screen with all the random white text on it [view pic below]


...from the picture you can tell that he is obviously saddened by this situation. Unexpectedly, he has to spend that money he's been making on a new laptop (because Mr. Nesbitt cannot breathe without a laptop). He gets his new, shiny red laptop and is happy. Into the week...he drops this laptop. *sigh* It works...but not for long. Turns out the battery won't charge anymore! *sigh* He had to send this one back so they could repair the damage. During this process, he found out that the tech in the bookstore could have fixed his old laptop for a lil over 50 bucks......WAYYYY less than what he payed for that shiny red laptop...that is now broken. *sigh* Poor Mr. Nesbitt...


If it couldn't get any worse.....

So me and Mr. Nesbitt were about to take a trip to the mall to get his lil sis something for her birthday. (Isn't that special?) He stops to get gas and we were on our way.......or were we?? As we take off, the Luxury Continental starts doing this "galloping" movement instead of the smooth drive. We're bouncin around like popcorn and I see Mr. Nesbitt's eyes widen. He gets out and sees whats wrong.....well....his front tire is so flat that the rim is touching the ground. *shakin my head* We "gallop" to the air pump and pay that 75 cent so we can get this moving.....well....that was a waste of 75 cents because the hole in his tire was so big that ALL the air was coming right back out. I, Twiggy, don't deal with cars period and Mr. Nesbitt doesn't deal with tires...so who's gonna change his tire?...Luckily we can call a friend in need...that would be D.Hall.

This story is long. So let's rush it:
• The donut tire is freakin' screwed in to his trunk so it took hella long to get that out
• Mr. Nesbitt didn't want to get his pewter Jordan 1s dirty so this resulted in the wear of these old ass white FILAs
• D.Hall and Mr. Nesbitt get beaten by the trunk and cause major damage to their bodies (lol)
• This car is so "luxurious" that when they were about to change the tire, they found that one of the bolts were locked (this resulted in a quiet tantrum from Mr. Nesbitt).
• We have to drive/gallop down the street to an auto place in order to get this locked bolt off

HOWEVER...

The good thing was that the guy at the auto place got the locked bolt off successfully, got Mr. Nesbitt a new/used tire, and put this tire on all for the price of like 30 bucks. That's a bet!

After all was said and done...we still made that trip to the mall....

...and you have to find humor in situations...

It Rains on the Just and the Unjust

The pastor of an Illinois church was shot and killed during a service this morning, according to the Maryville Police Department. CBS Affiliate KMOV reports that a gunman opened fire after 8:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill., fatally shooting Pastor Fred Winters. Illinois State Police spokesperson Ralph Timmens said that gunman walked up one of the aisles at the church and exchanged words with Winters, who walked over towards him. The suspect then pulled out a .45 caliber handgun and fired one shot. Timmens said the gun then jammed, and the assailant pulled out a knife and started stabbing himself. When parishioners tried to subdue him, he stabbed two others in the process. Officials don't know if Winters and the suspect knew each other. "We don't know the relationship (between the gunman and pastor), why he's here or what the circumstances came about that caused him in the first place to be here," Timmins said. Winters was taken to Anderson Hospital in Maryville, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, according to spokeswoman Natalie Head. Two others wounded at the church were airlifted to another hospital, Head said. The Rev. Mark Jones, another pastor at First Baptist, said he briefly saw the gunman but did not recognize him by name or face. "We have no idea what this guy's motives were," Jones said outside the church. "We don't know if we'll ever know that." Police said at the time there were approximately 150 people in the church for the first of three Sunday services. Many coming for the second service arrived to find emergency vehicles directing them away from the church, which reportedly has 1,500 members. Some parked at a nearby senior center where they were consoling one another.
