"JustTrina"

So I was listening to the radio today when they said that AJ was crying during his last show of 106 & Park. Now, I don't watch B.E.T. (we all know why, don't get me started), so this was news to me. Shocking news, in fact. Curious as to what was going on, I went on to BET.com to find out about this . SO they left, after 5 years and more than 500(?) episodes, Free and AJ decided to call it quits. I must admit, I'm somewhat saddened by it. Granted I don't watch the Negro Channel anymore, but if I did, 106 & Park was my show of choice. It was the black man's answer to TRL and I loved it. I wonder what they're gonna do next. All I know is that means that my dream job #2 is up for grabs and I'm not in a position to do anything about it. Besides that sucking, I hope they find a pair that's as good as AJ and Free were. The only guest host I can think of that was fairly decent was um, Nick Cannon , when he took his Ritalin and was able to focus (as if I...

Here's a scenario that may seem familiar: Random Friend: I wanna go to the beach Katrina: I'm scared of water Friend: What? Katrina: I don't do bodies of water Friend: Why? Katrina: I don't know, I think I was drowned is a past life. Bodies of water terrify me. If it's not enclosed and chlorinated, I don't get down with it Friend: Katrina, what is WRONG with you!?! Those of you that know me, know I don't like bodies of water. Lakes, oceans, rivers, I don't discriminate, I hate them ALL. SO bad that I find it hard to even look at the Hudson or the Chatahoochee without freaking the hell out. This past weekend, we had a boat ride in the city and I almost lost it before finally getting on the boat. It stressed me out and I hated every second of it. Not even my brother's antics made me feel better. Anyway, I have a bit of information for those who think I'm just being a drama queen. Check this shit out and try to call me crazy. If you read, it says a...

I've started blogging the events of this past weekend, but my productive mood is driving towards what makes the world go round: money. I've done quite a bit these past couple of days and it doesn't seem to be stopping. So here's my most recent attempt! I couldn't resist this, I had an extra $5, so if it works, it works. If not, well, I only lost about $5! Here's how it works, follow the directions below and be sure to let me know how much YOU get paid!! I promise to you, it will pay off!!

You won't need to run a website, or make phone calls, or make photocopies, or send out letters through the mail, or pay...

With Miami on the horizon, Wendy and I have been talking about a trip to Europe. I always told her I wanted to tour Europe with an extended stay in one of those Italian villa rentals . I love Italy. From Florence to Rome, I just love the history there (not to mention the fashion). Well, lemme get Miami tucked away before I start setting my sights overseas. I plan on making the trip, but I want to get all my ducks in a row, y'know? Speaking of ducks in a row, I have so much stuff to do before I head out to NY, but I'm negelecting it all til I get back. Adulthood sucks sometimes, I tell ya. The only thing I'm trying to get locked down is car insurance cuz that's what I need to be able to drive my car (Progressive is WACK, fyi, but that too is a whole different blog for a whole different day). Sometimes I feel like I'm getting screwed by the system, but whatever. So I'm trying to become like, real computer savvy, using html and whatnot. The thing that inspired me ...

Anyone who's been talking to me knows that I have a speech to write for my upcoming family reunion this week. They also know how stressed out I've been when it comes to having to write the damn thing because it's for a side of the family that I really don't get down with. It's not for lack of loving them, it's just that my dad's side of the family is SO different from my mom's side. I mean, my mom's side has been through a lot, with 3 funerals in 2 years (my grandmother, my great-grandmother and my momma), had we had stock in funeral flowers , we'd all be rich. But we've been blessed for the past 2 years as well, no real casualties to report. Now, my dad's side of the family, there have been a few blows, if you refer to the Legacy blog, you'll be able to catch up on all the fun stuff that's been happening. The difference is, while families usually grow stronger during rough times, it's like my dad's family is even more di...

I went to the grand reopening of one of the hottest night clubs ever, Vision. I love that f'n place, lemme tell ya. It closed for 3 months for remodeling and renovations and boy, was that wait worth it. It was gorgeous, there were lights, flat screens, millions of bars and 5 different atmospheres to dance in. I LOVED IT!! But I do have a few criticisms, cuz that's the only way the good get to be the best. First complaint: they put 5 million dollars into redoing the place and the first thing I noticed was that they did NOT change the toilet seats in the bathroom. It was opening night and the wear and tear on those seats was absolutely ridiculous. Renovation means EVERYTHING gets changed, not some things. No use in putting all money in the bells and whistles when the foundation is all screwed up. Takin' away one of the HOT flat screens woulda covered the seats just fine. Second complaint: work on the wiring and the sound system. It sucked. Had it not been for the pure volume ...

I was sitting in some retarded meeting last night (Mary Kay, the first step to the pink cadillac!) when I started to write a poem. I haven't written a poem in like, forever. Well not forever, but it's been quite a while. I think the poem even said as much. But get this: I threw the damn thing away. It was on a pad that they provided at the meeting and without thinking I tossed it out. Cuz I'm retarded, of course. Do I remember what it was about? Yeah, it was about Corey. Like, not "Corey's the greatest," "Ode to Corey" or anything like that, but just about how I thought about things and viewed certain aspects of life...until him. I remember THAT much, that the poem was centered around those two words. Until him. There's a lot in those two words, I'll tell ya that much, but that's a whole different blog for a different day. So I applied for a bunch of jobs like I do everyday, but this time it was with a different angle. I applied for jobs ...

Um, according to my stat counter, over one hundred people have been to see my blog. Funny thing is, there are only like 3 comments. That's strange to me, cuz I KNOW I've asked for some input. Granted, the counter may be from the amount of times all 10 of my friends view the blog, just to see what's goin' on in my life. But people, leave a little something so I know you're there, geez! That's why I changed the setting so everyone could comment, not just Blogger members. That's all I have to say about that...:-P

Taking cue from Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman, here are some random thoughts: My brother is wack, he falls in love once a week and now he's in a "relationship." With a chick he's never seen or met. Good job, numb nuts... Why do Keyia and Veronica keep calling my interaction with Corey a relationship? Is there a memo out there that I missed? It's like two people can't talk to each other like everyday and have it be just that...talking, geez. I like to talk to him and I guess I entertain him enough, cuz he calls me too. So this just happened: vjean21 (9:29:43 AM): your brother is still exploring his emotions vjean21 (9:30:06 AM): he hasn't had a that much experience yet CharchezLeFemme (9:30:14 AM): ehh, i guess so CharchezLeFemme (9:30:17 AM): he's just weird vjean21 (9:30:19 AM): so he is going to fall in an out of love quickly vjean21 (9:30:28 AM): no he's not, he is just wierd to you vjean21 (9:31:04 AM): cause you hav...

So I'm back from New Orleans, where I went out for the Essence Music Festival. It sucked. It sucked balls. Not only were there no eligible men out there, the city smelled. It was a culmination of stenches from ass to liquor to sweat to vomit. And the sad part is, they did all they could to keep the city clean. There were clean up crews everywhere. I can't say so for sure, but Bourbon Street is a non-stop party. I went to sleep at 5 a.m. one night and the place was packed. Overall, I had a blast, but I'm a simple creature. I had one fun filled night, so that's all I could ask for. All I know is that after Miami (which is still hanging in the balance, mind you), I'm not going anywhere with all females again. It was La'Keyia, myself and La'Keyia's friend Neha. We all had our periods, it was hot and we were just all cranky. So Friday and Saturday were filled with arguing. Things came to a heated head Sunday night, with La'Keyia and Neha yelling at each o...
