Speed Dating Extravaganza 2 … “I’ve Got Some Speed Date Hate”
Speed Dating Extravaganza 2 … “I’ve Got Some Speed Date Hate”
Okay,
So my research for this whole Speed Dating craze only started a few days ago… just to find out what its all about. I am single so there is no harm, right? I certainly don’t aim to find a match by any means here… that would completely blow me away if that ever occurred, although crazier things have happened. I’ve got a job to do and its to inform and report!
I saw an episode of Kath & Kim on NBC when Kim (Selma Blair) goes out on some speed dates (even though she is married…HA HA) That show cracks me up. Anyway, so I got inspired.
You all know from my last video how that all turned out. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED BUT MAN WAS THAT SOME GREAT FOOTAGE!!! Too easy…
But hey, I am a open minded chick… an open minded chick who happened to get a kick out of what she found!!!! I had to go back for more… I just couldn’t believe what I saw.
So I went back this evening for a little searchin’. I didn’t know that I had another treat waiting for me… more material for my blog! It just keeps coming. SO CHECK THIS:
Right when I sign on, the first 3 minute “date” I get is with this guy from Egypt (so he says…). We get to writing and he seems pretty cute, nice (whatever that means in under 3 minutes online…) and then I get to staring at his picture. Hmmm…. something wasn’t right. My intuition was telling me that for some reason the guy in the picture WAS NOT the guy I was chatting with. Why did I think that?!?!?! I don’t know but I have learned to NEVER go against my gut feeling. So I have about 1 minute left with him. I totally cut him off from his stupid questions and I ask him,” Is that really you in your picture, it looks like a magazine cover?!?!?”
He then tries to act like he didn’t see what I wrote, so I ask him again. Can you believe that I was RIGHT??? First of all I can’t believe he came clean about it… frickin’ imposter! I may be researching but at least I come out fully being the fabulous person I am. Of course he had to pick a picture of such a handsome guy too… which leads me to believe that he must be some kind of UGLY because he is too afraid to show his own face. Loser! I shut that down QUICK… but not before capturing my footage. THAT’S RIGHT… you know I had to make a video of it… it was too good to pass up! The other lame experience was when I was supposed to have another 3 minute “date” with someone who had a webcam. YIKES! I was so afraid that I was going to see some scary naked freak of nature in front of me (after all that had occured… I didn’t know what to expect) but instead I got…. OH, JUST TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELVES…
WHAT WILL I DISCOVER NEXT ON SPEED DATE? WILL I COME ACROSS SOMEONE WORTHY OF BEING PRAISED?
Stunned,
Celebrity Rehab is one of the scariest shows I’ve ever seen!
Celebrity Rehab is one of the scariest shows I’ve ever seen!
Oh My…
I was surfing my cable channels this evening and found a frightening show: Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Have any of you seen it? God bless Dr. Drew for being alive to help these unfortunate souls. It seems like he is really working his magic on them. Damn! Everyone deserves to be happy in life and we certainly all aren’t perfect but I have to say these “celebs” take the cake for having some serious issues in life. AND IT ALL STEMS FROM CHILDHOOD ISSUES AND EXPERIENCES. Statistics show that over 3 million Americans alone are suffering from some kind of addiction. Without a ‘Celebrity Rehab’ an intervention, the willpower to change – how will all of these millions of people get a chance to live an amazing life sans addiction. It really makes me feel for them. Its all about targeting the harsh realities of their past that they can’t handle and its showing up in their current realities.
Rodney King is even on the show. Yes, how can anyone forget who Rodney King is. Not the most desirable thing in life to be remembered by. Yikes!
I only saw half an episode… thats all i could stomach but what stuck out in my mind was that actor Gary Busey. It seems like he is the STAR of the show, whatever that means. He sure does bring ratings thats for sure. He looks sooooooooooooooo sad. Like his life has thrown hot trash in his face. Its too much.
Talk soup always captures such winning moments on T.V. Check out this snazzy clip (for all of you Gary Busey lovers out there).
Moral?
Stay away from drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR REAL, please…. aye yi yi!!!
Hopeful,
A Speed Dating Extravaganza… OH – MY – GOOD-NESS!
A Speed Dating Extravaganza… OH – MY – GOOD-NESS!
So apparently on Facebook there is an application for online speed dating! WOW…
I just HAD to find out what it was all about, as I hate being in the dark about anything.
Any good researcher would do the same…
Does Speed dating have a bad rep? Or does it deserve the utmost praise?
There is a first time for everything… and… I…. well… just look for yourselves!
I had a good chuckle with my sister. I don’t even know what to say. I’m sure that there are hundreds and thousands of people that meet their soulmates online – afterall you can meet them ANYWHERE. But why is that there are so many “———- whatever the nice word for FREAK IS…” that congregate there? At least thats what my eyes saw. I’m by far no expert but I wasn’t really blown away – I’ll say that much. I love being proven wrong!
Enjoy, more from the P.V.S.P lata!
P.S I would LOVE to hear from some people who have had success stories in online dating. Do tell!
Purple Vintage Space Princess Kicks Some ASS… in her dreams that is!
Purple Vintage Space Princess Kicks Some ASS… in her dreams that is!
Thats how I looked like in my dream last night. It was SO WILD! I had to kick some serious ass and I was able to also. What on EARTH this dream means- I have no idea but it was action packed beyond belief. Perhaps its because I got to chill out with Jaclyn Smith last week, one of the Charlie’s Angels! I feel like I am a hard core diva now! She sprinkled some of her magic onto me. THANKS JACLYN. Ah! Gotta love her!
My dream took place back in my hometown of Amherst Massachusetts. My entire family was in this dream too. It so happens that me and my sisters and my father were taken somewhere far out (like in the Amazon… except it was still the liberal town of Amherst… go figure)! We were dropped off in the middle of nowhere and there was this ugly HORRIBLE man who was chasing us for no reason. I felt like I was running forever but tis guy could never catch up… what a loser! My Dad told us to split up and that we would meet back at the Amherst High School track field! WHAT?!?!?!? and this was still in the “Amazon”! I love the randomness of the dream. I was freaking out. Older sis and I ran off screaming like banshees only to get further into the Amazon and then lost each other. OH, it was too sad… I swear, its like I knew I was in a panic but yet I was still sleeping and couldn’t wake up…more like I didn’t want to wake up until I found this guy that dropped us all in the middle of nowhere.
I hear my younger sister calling out then I hear my father too but I can’t find them. Everything changes then I am suddenly back at my childhood house, my Mom is cooking in the kitchen… it smells TOO GOOD… can you believe I sit down and take a “meal break” before I have to kick ass?!?! So typical…. mmm I can’t pass up good food ever, even if it is a toss up to saving the lives of my family. HA, kidding!
Anyway, long story short, that food gave me a surge of energy like no other… I somehow found that SKANASTY dude and BEAT THE CRAP out of him Charlie’s Angels style! I was singing a song while I did it and I was wearing my favorite pair of white boots… I didn’t even seem to break a sweat! It was pretty hot actually. I turned into this superwoman character… but PURPLE!
I don’t even remember if we all met up at the track field but all I know is that I flattened that dude DOWN!
I think Purple Vintage Space Princess is going to be a comic book character as well. Stay tuned for those additions soon. Some kind of creative project will be born from this dream…
Great start to the morning, eh?
More from me later!

SHOE BOOT-SY! Gimme your boots!
SHOE BOOT-SY! Gimme your boots!
Ah Yes!!! The SHOE BOOT! What kind of fashionista gal doesn’t love a shoe boot? Its a shoe… and a boot all in one. ENOUGH SAID! I of course have a pair in purple. SURPRISE SURPRISE… They are too cute and quite comfortable.
Anyway, my question is: What is it about this stylish shoe that sends ladies into “actin’ a fool” as I like to call it. Can you believe that I was walking down (well… more like strutting down) 5th Ave. purse and heavy grocery bags in tow and then some crazy bitch walks up in my face, blocks my path and shouted, “Yo, who do you think you are wearing those cute shoes… give em to me” I wish I had video cameras around me so I could have seen my OWN reaction. She wasn’t even cracking a smile… but I bet she did have some crack earlier because she just looked insane! I didn’t want to set her off too much (I’m too cute to get into something with a crazed stranger…) so I said,
“Excuse me?!?!? My shoe boots aren’t for sale… I’M WALKING IN THEM… if you didn’t notice”!
“I…I…don’t care…I always wanted a shoe boot…..Marcus PROMISED me 2 pairs for my birthday, that lying son of a bitch…”! (kid you not…)
As I’m laughing hard on the inside she goes into some rant about this guy Marcus who I assume was her crack boyfriend. I couldn’t even believe that I stood there long enough to hear the details of her insane life but I kinda started feeling sorry for her. NOT ENOUGH TO GIVE HER MY SHOE BOOTS… But this woman was dead set on owning my shoe boots. PUH-LEEESE, as if that was going to happen! I told her that she could own her own pair and told her where she could find some nice affordable ones but that went way over her head. She had the nerve to start bending down, which I took as a sign that she was going to try to just take them off somehow so thats when I booked it down 17th St. I was laughing so hard because I just couldn’t believe that 4 minutes out of my life were spent on some sad stranger wanting my shoes. I wonder if I had stayed for even 1 minute more if she would have pinned me down to get them. She didn’t care that people were around she was in a mental craze. WOW, that is NY for you!!!!
TRUE STORY!
So now I look at my shoe boots in a whole new light. I can’t even stand the words anymore. She must have said ‘Shoe Boots” a million times in those 4 minutes. Her and her thick NY accent.
SHOE BOOTS, SHOE BOOTS, SHOE BOOTS!!!!
Enough already!
It’s all about being the best YOU! GET UP AND GLOW
It’s all about being the best YOU! GET UP AND GLOW
I woke up this morning and looked out the window to find that it was another grey day! UUUUUUGH!
I have to admit that I am not one who enjoys dim light and cold air, uck. In fact, I loathe both! I immediately wanted to retreat back into my warm covers and dream the morning and quite possibly the afternoon away. I am naturally bright and sunny inside and out and I expect that to reflect in my current physical reality. But what can I do?!?! I can’t control the daylight savings or mother nature I can only control myself and do everything I can to make me feel happy and special no matter what is going on around me. This works for anything and everything going on in your life.
SO my modo of the day is: GET UP AND GLOW!
Yes, that’s right… just do it! GET UP AND GLOW!
You might be saying or thinking:” Yeah right P.V.S.P… how am I just going to get up after I had such a crappy day yesterday, my job sucks, my boyfriend left me, I got mugged last night, I can’t catch a break…yadda, yadda, yadda..
I hate to break it to ya but those are all excuses. If you choose to focus on what is not or has not worked out for you then all you are going to get is negativity and lack or progress in your goals. It may be a challenge at first but you just have to focus your mind on GOOD THOUGHTS, focus on what you want and then *like magic* you will start to see a change… even if its as simple as changing your mind from thinking that its a horrible grey day outside (and letting that set the dark mood of your entire day…) to thinking and feeling that you can conquer the world today no matter what it looks like!
A whole bunch of mumbo jumbo? Perhaps it might seem like that… I can’t squeeze all my knowledge into a few paragraphs. Thats why you need to stay tuned each day for my tips. I promise you will see results!
You gotta start with baby steps as is with anything!
More positivity and fun from me later!
As for me, I’m going to have ice cream as the main part of my lunch… I’ll jump rope it off later!
Remember, you can do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING in this world. We just gained our first African American President in the history of the U.S.A didn’t we? Yeah… ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

YES WE CAN, YES WE DID & YES WE WILL
YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL
OH OBAMA!!!!
There was no way that I could start my post today without giving thanks to such a beautiful
victory last night! It’s such an amazing feeling to be able to take part in this time in history.
Barriers and walls were brought down when Obama became President-elect by a LANDSLIDE. The emotions and energy that I could see from his supporters are unforgettable. People cried, sang, shouted, rejoiced! It was so beautiful. If Martin Luther King was only physically here to see it. Seeing Jesse Jackson and Oprah being brought to tears of joy really hit home.
THIS WORLD IS READY FOR SOME SERIOUS CHANGE! It’s about time!
I just have to say that I have never felt so patriotic in my life. I’m so proud to be here in America. Things are looking up and I feel good about the changes that Obama will assist in bringing.
He is so brave! What a job he has ahead of him…
More from the P.V.S.P later

Mammi-Ama
This is on a really random note, BUT I AM MISSING MY CURLY HAIR AGAIN! My afro is calling me back. Sometimes it can be such a bother to maintain because I have to make sure my hair doesn’t get too dry…but then I just deal and love it. I love the girly feeling of changing up my “do”! I’ll have to come up with something new, maybe I’ll twist it up again. Ah well… this has nothing to do with Obama but SO WHAT!
xoxo,
“YES WE CAN” Vote for Change… Purple Vintage Space Princess composes for Obama
“YES WE CAN” Vote for Change… Purple Vintage Space Princess composes for Obama
I just finished my original composition for Barack Obama “Yes We Can”. Its pretty self explanatory!
This presidential election is the most important in our nations history and I am believing with my entire being that enough of us feel the energy to accept change. Oh lord, do we need a change and Obama is the only canidate that can set us on the right path. I sure know that John McCain and Sarah Palin will only keep us in a backward spiral of destruction just like George Bush. No thanks!
You can watch the video of “YES WE CAN” below. This was a collaborative project with my sister Nana Adwoa Ofori who also worked on the video editing with me. Together we worked hard for CHANGE!
PLEASE TAKE TWO MINUTES TO WATCH AND LISTEN AND SPREAD THE WORD TO VOTE NOV 4th for BARAK OBAMA!
Here is my chicken scratch notes of when I was composing my piece. I always take notes no matter what I am working on. My “thinkpad” I like to call it. I always tend to be a bit erratic when I write my notes on paper. Perhaps its because I get so amped and excited on what I’m working on. As long as I understand it, thats all that matters:) I always keep my original writings. They are comforting to me, quaint pieces of my own history.

Cat Eyes & Vision boards!
Cat Eyes & Vision boards!
Last night I created another vision board! I put this one together so quickly and didn’t really have the materials that I wanted but regardless, I was still able to find some things that resonated within me and pasted them down on paper. You better believe that my dreams are manifesting. I can’t even imagine what life would be life without dreams… without creating, without giving and receiving. The horror!
Its all very simple to do: Just collect some magazines that you have lying around, paper to paste onto, scissors, glue (or tape) and anything else that makes you feel creative and get to cutting!
Cut out anything that makes you feel good and speaks to you. These don’t all have to be material things, they can be words, feelings, emotions – everyone has different wants. The law of attraction does not judge. Just make sure that you are picking up a feel good energy when you choose your items for your vision board. The “feel good” feeling is an indicator that you are right on track.
Your board doesn’t have to be fancy or elaborate, just make it right for you. Look at it every day as often as you can and make yourself feel as if you already have everything that you desire on your board. Visualize, Visualize, VISUALIZE! More on visualization later….
