PLANKING???

Good Day world -

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. . . . I sure did!

The weather was pleasant all weekend; especially for the Fort Greene Festival in Brooklyn on Saturday!! I heard Mos Def rocked the crowd. . . not surprised!!

But Sunday. . . I have to say. . . The BET Awards. . . between Kevin Hart to me being the best host so far. . . and Free and that dress during the after party!! Let me get right to that. . . Free. . . Ms. Free. . . can we say DAMNNN!!! (Smokey voice from Friday). . . Just give me 3 and a half minutes. . . Maybe even FO'!

I just wanna thank you. . . that dress. . . and that @ss!!

But now last night on twitter. . . the world went crazy with this "planking". . . And I died laughing all night. . . We sure know how to take something and create a phenomenal story out of it. . .

So I took time out and researched what planking is.

Not to be confused with Plank (exercise).

     The lying down game (also known as planking, or face downs) is an activity, popular in various parts of the world, consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body, and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The location should also be as public as possible, and as many people as possible should be involved.

Here's some of the twitpic's from last nights "planking" marvel!!!

The return of Dave Chappelle. . . maybe!

Good Day All -

Crazy day yesterday; so I didn't get to touch basis with you guys and update you on the GIFTED world we live in.

My bad!

I'll make it up to you guys. . . shop at http://www.giftedapparelnyc.com/ and receive 20% off your purchase by using the code "GIFTEDLIFE". . . I knew you'd love that!

Dave Chappelle may be returning back to comedy. . . via Netflix or Hulu tho. After Chappelle's 3rd season of "The Chappelle Show" he disappeared from the TV comedy scene in 2005. Now word is he may be returning. . . through a paid online subscription service like Netflix and Hulu. This may work out good for Dave. . . If it does. . . . I'M RICH BIATCHHH!! Glad to hear you may be coming back bro.

The Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks last night winning their first Stanley Cup in 39 years. . . and man-o-man. . . The Canucks we not happy about it! A huge riot broke out last night after the game. Fans overturned cars and set them on fire many patrons we injured (1 in critical condition). Sheesh. . . you guys are as bad as the Cleveland fans! Well congrats to the Bruins!! you guys deserve it. As for the Canucks. . . I hope you guys win next year. . . if not. . . your city will be in my prayers!

Politics. . . Rep. Anthony Weiner announced his resignation from Congress. . . That's all. . . (like ya'll didn't know that was gonna happen)

Now for BROOKLYN news. . . According to the 2010 census, Brooklyn has lost 4 percent of its black residents (Clinton Hills and Fort Greene shrunk about one-third over the last 10 years). I say gentrification is in full effect! With the raised rent, property value and constant increases in public transportation fares. . . I'm not surprised! Seems as if we're moving down South where the standard of living is lower and less stressful.

That's all for today my family and friends. . .  until tomorrow. . . Stay GIFTED!

My President is. . . . . . uhmm. . . .

Good Day world!

Another day living this GIFTED life. . . And I love ever second of it!!

So now. . . .

We're approaching 2012 and it's almost time for a new President! And I normally wouldn't discuss politics being it's a touchy subject for people. . . But hey. . . IM GIFTED!!

But it seems that Obama is content with being in office for just one term. Although his family fully supports him and his presidency; they're OK with it as well. Obama certainly has shaken things up while in office, especially following up behind Bush and cleaning up the mess he left behind; I say Obama did a great job! But the race for GOP has begun. . . and the candidates didn't waste no time taking shots at the "Obamacare" plan. But hey. . . politics has always been the NASTIEST of races. It's literally a "gloves off" match amongst anyone who runs for office. And we have another woman running for president again (nothing like Sara Palin I hope). . . But Rep. Michele Bachmann seems to be one to keep an eye on.

So the FBI changes its "Investigative Guidelines". . . . hmmmm. . . . This definitely raises an eyebrow!
Ya'll check this out! (FBI New Investigative Guidelines)

NOW. . . . Mark Cuban has definitely moved up in the "GIFTED List". . . So after the game Sunday night, MC partied the night away. . . AND. . . bought a bottle of Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades). . . priced at $90 ,000 (the bottle was half the size of Dirk. . . you do the measurements). . . AND. . . left a $20 ,000 tip when he left!!. . . . Need I say more?!. . . wait. . . AND. . . he's personally paying for the teams parade!!

Now that's GIFTED for that @$$

Well that's all for today family and friends. . . Until tomorrow!

Stay GIFTED!

Monday Madness. . . .

Good Day World. . . .

I hope everyone had a great weekend; I definitely did!

Went to show love to the Puerto Rican side of the family at the Puerto Rican Day parade. . . They definitely know how to celebrate. . . Attended a few events (ya'll know I love the term "Open Bar'. . . because Free is for ME. . . lol)

Well. . . . Our 2011 NBA Champions. . . . The Dallas Mavericks!! Great game guys! It was close the entire game; but the Heat couldn't close out and the Mavs came out on top! Tears of joy and pain was shed after the game (Mostly from Baby of Cash Money. . . Heard he bet $2 million on the Heat). It's the first championship in the Mavs franchise history and I know Mark Cuban celebrated like none other!!

Finally Terry, Dirk and Kidd got their ring!! Congrats Dallas. . . It was well deserved.

Well until tomorrow my family and friend. . . enjoy and stay GIFTED!
