One of my fav Dr. Seuss stories The Sneetches




I know this post is a bit more random than normal so here's a lil explanation. My Mom got me a collectors edition of one of my fav Dr. Seuss books Oh, the Places You'll Go! to signify me taking the "next step" in my life and heading to Chicago for law school. That reminded me of some of the other Dr. Seuss books that I read and loved, so that is why I'm posting this story for you all today. :)


*Perhaps a not so interesting Mia fact... I referenced a Dr. Seuss story in my law school personal statement... which one do ya think it is?*

SONG OF THE WEEK



Artist: Bright Eyes
Song Title: Lover I Don't Have to Love
Fav line: You write such pretty words/But life's no storybook/Love's an excuse to get hurt/And to hurt./Do you like to hurt?/I do, I do/Then hurt me...

You look like you smoke squares... but you don't even smoke (c) Kaelan

That is what my lil bro said about me after I got my tragus pierced.

"Lawyer's don't have nose and tragus piercings Mia!" (c) Kaelan

He should know by now that I don't follow the rules. :-p I went back home to StL for a few days and randomly decided to get pierced with my lil cousin Siera. Initially I was going to get the stud but Kaelan encouraged me to get the hoop because "it fit my personality." My lil bro judges me a lot, I love him sooooo :)

I'm yoursssss (c) Jason Mraz




I've wanted this shirt for a while, and then I saw Mr. Mraz sporting it rubbin it in all my face and that made be bitter. I still didn't give in after that though because it's $30. However, I got uber lucky and found it in a thrift store and felt compelled to rub it in all of your faces :-p. If you want it, check out THIS site, there are a lot of nice apparel items on there. I'm just cheap... lol

Doink Doink (c) Law and Order


No, I am not a WOW-er... not that there's anything wrong with WOW, I have a dear *cough cough* lame friend named Marcel that is a big comic book nerd. As a matter of fact he's featured in THIS previous post, and I actually got him WOW for Christmas. I simply haven't tried it, I have enough addictions (ironic considering I don't smoke or drink right?)
BUT
I am an L&O geek and found these games enjoyable. Mind you I also find Agatha Christie and Law and Order computer games entertaining as well, so I might not be a good judge of character when it comes to what I think versus what you think of entertaining. Nevertheless, I included the links to:

The Handwriting Analysis HERE <----- Your chickenscratch could explain some aspects of your personality

The Body Language Analysis HERE <----- What does the way you sit say about you?

Concentration Game HERE <----Tests your memory

The Crack Under Pressure Profiler HERE <--- for those that think they could do a better job than the detectives on the show
Check em out :)

SONG OF THE WEEK!!!

So yesterday's talk about the remake of The Last Dragon totally inspired this week's song...

Rockwell Knuckles "See n' Say" from Knuckle Rumbler on Vimeo.



Artist: Rockwell Knuckles
Song Title: See N' Say

Yeah yeah, I know this is the second week in a row that I am showcasing an StL artist... I'm home sick, can't ya tell?  I KNOW you like this!  Want more?  Check out Mr. Knuckles at www.myspace.com/rockwellknuckles... Still not satisfied?  I URGE you to download Rockwell Knuckles' latest mixtape The Glow HERE. It is pretty much ORGASMIC!

Don't hurt that face baby! Don't hurt that face! (c) Woman in the theater

So rumors have been surfacing for a while about Samuel L. Jackson appearing as Sho'nuff in the remake of

The Last Dragon

... I dunno how I feel about them remaking this... I am definitely biased though because I LOVE this movie sooooo much and don't want to see them ruin such a classic. Plus Sammy J is a lil old to be kickin niggas and such. I figured I'd try out my less than mediocre photoshop skills and supply you with a potential movie still. Hope you enjoy!

::Project Natal:: "Does not care about Black People" (c) Kanye


So apparently Microsoft's Project Natal is having a problem interpreting the motions of black (dark skinned) people. Newsweek writer N'Gai Croal said that the game had difficulty registering his body movements, but didn't seem to have a problem with his friend that was of a fairer complexion. It more than likely was just a bug in his system because when Eric Dickerson, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Willie Gault didn't have any problems with natal. I need this in my life, so they better work out the kinks ASAP!

SONG OF THE WEEK!!!!



Artist: The Offspring
Song Title: Self-Esteem
So often women sing songs about being used and abused by a cheating no good man. The Offspring put this song out there to show that low self-esteem isn't just something that affects the ladies when in a relationship...
Fav lyric: The more you suffer/the more it shows you really care/right?/yeahhhhh
