Mr Know It All...
Mr know it all
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow
Mr bring me down
Well ya like to bring me down don't ya
But I ain't laying down, baby
I ain't going down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody gonna make a fool out of me
Baby you should know that I lead not follow
[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr play your games
Only got yourself to blame
When you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow
[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
[Bridge]
So what, you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see
[Chorus]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr know it all
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Can She Do It? Katy Perry tries to become 1st artist to acheive 6 #1s singles from an album
Good evening, all.
I've been in a bit of a slump all week. I'm starting to feel a bit better about some things. As always, I always turn to music to get me out of those type of moods. Oh, while we're on the subject of music...
If none of you knew this already, then I'm here to tell you that I've been a bit of a Katy Perry fan as of late.
Recently, she and her record label has announced that a 6th single will be released from the album named "The One That Got Away." Now... ur uh... Not saying I don't like the song (I mean, Max Martin, one of pop's superproducers and writers/composers), but I was REAAALLLLYYYY hoping that "Hummingbird Heartbeat" would have been the song of choice. In my mind [no Heather Headley], this song is a complete summary of all of her previous singles from "Teenage Dream," and would have ended the album on a good note as a final single. Who knows, maybe the record label has plans to release as a 7th single? We shall see. If she'd wanted to ensure a 6th #1, "Hummingbird Heartbeat" would have been the perfect choice. "The One That Got Away" will probably reach the top 10 in the Hot 100, but a #1 slot? I'm iffy on it. Most of her fans were looking forward to the former being released, so it should be interesting to see how this song gets received. It's scheduled to hit airwaves in a couple of weeks.
I just feel like "Hummingbird Heartbeat" has just a bit more radio edginess to it and, not to mention, very catchy. Maybe they wanted to be different and go a different route. Nevertheless, much luck to her and Capitol Records on becoming the 1st artist to achieve 6 #1s from an album! [goes to play "Hummingbird Heartbeat" on infinite repeat]
What are your thoughts? Take a listen to both and see which one you would have preferred:

It's not easy
I'm going thru some things now. Despite the amazing weight-loss journey I've had this year, I've been battling with some trying situations in which I need to make some hard decisions. Pray for my sanity and well-being.

...almost there
::monthly check-in:: Hey, Y'all! [in my Paula Deen voice] What's the good word? Oh.. I know, it's the unofficial end to summer as the Labor Day Weekend has come and gone. And boy, it sure does feel like the end to summer. What's up with all of these overcast/rainy days? Very reminiscent of fall, wouldn't you say? Enough of all of that. Many of you know the main reason why I am here.
...drum roll...
time for my monthly weight-loss update!
Last update, I had clocked in at 250 lbs, making a total lost of 55 lbs since March. The past couple of weeks have been rough, seeing as it was labor day weekend and I did not go to the gym as often as I am used to, and I ate like a relapsing contestant from the Biggest Loser. Well, I wouldn't go that extreme, but I was a bit liberal with some of my eating habits over the past week. lol. Well, despite all of that. I still managed to lose a few lbs ::applause:: and uh, since I only update once in a blue moon, I've lost a total of 8 lbs since my last update in August.. bringing my total lost and current weight, respectively, to 63 lbs and 242 lbs!
Woot woot! I've reached the 60+ club! daaaaaaamn...... really????? I STILL cannot believe it. That means that I am 12 lbs away from reaching my goal. I can't afford to keep buying new clothes (LOL), and I think that 5'10", 230 lbs is ideal to MY standards, not what doctors say. If it were up to doctors, I would be 150http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif-175 lbs (for my height), but uhh. NO. I refuse to look like Skeletor mixed with a Bobblehead. [Disagree? Well that's you, and I'm sorry. (c) lil kim-2001 :-)] I'm on my way to my goal. I'm so close. 84% complete (63 lbs out of 75 lbs), and there's no stopping me.
I tried to upload some pictures on here, but Blogger is giving me grief about it. Oh well... On my FB page, I've put together a time evolution of photos of me beginning from 3/10/11 up until yesterday 9/8/11, showing the overall progress [I've made the photo album public, so everyone should be able to see that]:

Hope you all enjoy and comment at your leisure. It's been a great time overall. Looking forward to reaching that finish line.
Enjoy the weekend, peeps!

Mission Accomplished, Part [One]
"...it's been a long time." - Aaliyah/Timbaland "Try Again"
Hello folks. What's shaking [that was a rhetorical question btw]? Oh, you know. I don't update often. So here is my "once in a blue moon" blog post. I figure I'd get another post in before fall officially starts. I've been doing quite well, oh so well. It's been a great summer thus far.
As time approaches May 2012, I really need to put the pedal to the metal with grad school duties. I don't want to spend any other extra time I need to at Howard U [no shade, no tea... well...]. I am just ready to be done with my master's program and, possibly, DC altogether. But that's a whole 'nother blog post in itself. We will see where God and time will lead me next.
Oh yea, I went to a beach for the first time in my life. Ocean City, MD. Oh, and it was AWE-SOME. I enjoyed every bit of the time I spent there. The weather was perfect, the waves were nice, and I just felt it was a much-needed break from the rest of the world for a while. Yea, please don't get on me about being to a beach for the first time [at the age of 26]. I mean, yes, I have been to a beach before, but it was a Michigan beach, and I don't really remember it since I was only like 3 or 4, and it was a lake side beach. LOL. Oh there are other things that I haven't done either that you may think the average person has done. I will leave those for other blog posts. But until then, we will keep it at this :-]
This blog post was to update you on all of that and the fact that...
I have...
REACHED MY INITIAL GOAL WEIGHT OF 250 LBS!!!!!!
[fanfare, applause, crowd goes WILD!]
oh yes, this is a great moment for me right now. FIF, TY, FIVE, POUNDS.... GONE! DELETED! SHREDDED! LOST! OUT OF MY LIFE [and NEVER to return]!!! Can't you tell I'm happy??? Because I am VERY proud of myself! As I look back to 5 months ago...
...I still cannot believe that I'd let myself get that huge. I was never aware that I had crossed the 300-lb mark until I stepped on that scale in March. Man, am I glad that I am removed from that.
I would like to set another goal and drop to 230 lbs. This will be an addition 20 lbs I'd need to lose, and I am sure it will be another journey to accomplish it. 55 lbs was hard enough, but I am ready for this. I think I shed a thug tear [see Tupac] when I reached 250 lbs on Thursday.
This new goal will include incorporating new exercises into my regimen and ... and .. cutting back .. on .. carbs O_O... Carbs are my weakness, and I love 'em love 'em love 'em! I mean, I still had my share of carbs and I was still able to lose 55 lbs, but as such, I'll need to make some sacrifices if I'd like to get to my final goal. Sigh... ::inducts self into Carbohydrates Anonymous::
Well, it's Sunday night, and I need to get ready for the workweek. I'll be back before fall starts ::crossing fingers:: Y'all take care :-)
