My title is a play on words....I didn't know Whitney Houston, so I wouldn't be presumptuous enough to give her a nick name, because I know I would hate that. (Pretty much the way I hate for someone to call me "Rave", lbs)......I'm saying that some of the people who are commenting on the death of Ms. Houston are "Without WITT" as in SENSE!!!!
Over this past weekend, I've seen/heard a lot of ignorant & judgmental things being said about Ms. Houston AND her sudden passing. Everything from, "If she'd have never married Bobby Brown, she'd still be here.", "She was a junkie, so why are we throwing a pity party for her?" to "Why did she take a bath knowing she had taken all those pills? She should have taken a shower." (<----I deleted the idiot who said that without even commenting on that post. *smh*) All I could think of when reading/hearing this idiocy was when I lost my mother over 2 years ago before the holidays...I know how devastated I was. I know how I felt/feel...I thought about how I lost my friend a year ago this time......I know how devastated I was, I know how I felt/feel....
Then I thought of the fact that I'm a GROWN WOMAN & I was grown when this happened....Bobby Kristina is only 19 years old!!! She will turn 20 on my birthday, March 4th....I've always remembered that because I remember when she was born in 1992 & my daughter told me, "Whitney Houston had a baby today, on your birthday." Our birthday is soon & we both have to spend it without our mothers. I'm not going to say I'm "used" to it, but this will be her 1st one without her mother (I've had three without mine). The way I feel as a grown woman with two of my own children who are older than her with the loss I've experienced....the way I still think of my Mama not ever seeing her great-grandchildren...and thinking that her mother will never see her GRAND-children.
While people demonize her father, who I'm sure is there comforting/supporting her. While people focus on her mother's shortcomings, instead of her triumphs...I hope they have a step ladder to bring themselves down from the pedestals they stand on so they don't trip & bust their heads coming down. *secretly hopes they do bust their heads WIDE OPEN, lol*
What I find interesting is that what Whitney Houston's death has done is it has aligned the "saints" with the "ain'ts"....The "holy rollers" have expressed the same ridiculous/judgmental garbage as the "low lifes" & "thugs". The two demographics that are against one another have come together in stupidity to pass judgement & disrespect this woman & her family. *smdh*......
So, for me...whenever my REAL judgement day comes & I'm asked...Who I'm affiliated with....I'm not claiming "saints" or "ain'ts"...The set I'm rolling with is "compassionate".
So in honor of her, I've posted my favorite song that she sung. I can't honestly say that I'm a "fan" and listened to her music often. I can say I thought her voice was PHENOMENAL and she was BEAUTIFUL...but I don't want to be a phony/bandwagonner who says I was her "biggest fan"....But I can honestly say that her passing has shocked & saddened me. I pray for her and her family.....her baby, ESPECIALLY!
Rest in peace Whitney Houston!!!
February is the month designated by America to celebrate Black people's accomplishments and such in America over the years...well really since slavery ended, I guess. This Black History Month we will be celebrating the lives of two of the greatest ever...longtime Soul Train host Don Cornelius and now Whitney Houston...one of the most beautiful voices EVER. We will not remember Whitney for her down times as we all have them but for her Greatness that she shared with the world through her music. I am saddened by this as she was so young leaving us at only 48 years old. She has sold almost 200 million records in her career and was an inspiration to people all over the world. Our prayers go out to the family...and let's not take life for granted. We love you Whitney!
I recently learned about a sweet new game, which really doesn't seem like a game but more of a tutor. Super Guitar Wold Rock-star, and Super Duper Band whatever, using colored buttons and slapping plastic instead of strings... Wack. I could never get into that whole lets pretend to be rockstars, with fake instruments that require practice... That is a complete waste to me. With the new game, all that will be put to rest. Its called Rocksmith. Comptlely new way to be a real rock star. You can use just about any guitar! You can use anything from your schecter omen 8 or even the guitar that comes with the bundle! I am not much of a musician when it comes to creating it from instruments, but this would be the way to go.
Not any more do you remember colors and time them to songs that don't even use half the strings/buttons. Its really a new way to learn while playing. It progresses you from an easy stage of learning your instrument and how to properly hold and play it, then it becomes a learning game... No reason to rush into any hard mode difficulties, it gets you to a level where you can literary jam out on a guitar without even being plugged into your console/pc.
That's such a crazy feeling getting out of a game, and learning something you can go out and actually use. Who knows, you can keep it up and really become a rockstar, it really seems like gamers will have a new realm to conquer if the game industries keep building games that inform and teach real life skills, rather than pointless never ending games. If you ever had thoughts of trying to learn a new instrument, but didn't want the hassle of hiring instructors or reading books? Rocksmith may be your game.

This game is available now, for XBox & PS3 with tons of music downloads and minigames... But also coming soon to Windows/PC in Early 2012.
3 minutes and 46 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter and Eli Manning does it again! So reminiscent of 2008 when he had 2 minutes and 39 seconds to make it count and he did it. Eli has now put himself in a class of ELITE quarterbacks for good in the NFL. He had the most 4th quarter comebacks in history this past season and did it again in the final and most important game. The Giants were down 17-15...Eli takes the snap and launches a perfect strike to Mario Manningham for 38 yards. He then hits Hakeem Nicks to put them in prime position to at least come away with a field goal...not if Ahmad Bradshaw had anything to say about. Walking his way into the endzone for a 6yd TD run and the winning score.

It all started when the Giants took on the Jets and put a spanking on them...taking care of the Cowboys when they needed to in order to get in the playoffs, and then once getting there they steamrolled the Falcons, Packers, and 49ers inevitably punching their ticket to SuperBowl 46. I have said this all season and anyone that knows me...knows that I have been riding Big Blue all season and never left their side. They rewarded us with their 8th NFL tit;e and 4th SuperBowl victory. Tom Coughlin prepared his team well and they went out and just executed the gameplan the best that they could leading them to reclaim the name of Champions. Eli is now 1 of 5 qb's with multiple rings overtaking his brother Peyton, and how fitting that he did it in the House that Peyton built.
Let's not forget that Tom Brady also played in the game...but he threw an interception, took a safety, and had his best receiver drop the pass that might have iced the game for the Pats. Although Tom is one of the best qb's to ever play this game...tonight was not his night. He still has 3 rings in his career, but he is now 0 for 2 against Eli in the SuperBowl and who knows when is the next time he and the Patriots will be back to the big dance. Its ok Tommy.

To all you Giants fans out there enjoying the win...congratulations. To the Pats...good game and maybe we will see you all again next year...because we will be here. Check out the winning drive below!
