WTF of the day....
Tupac Resurrected (MySpace Exclusive)
Why am I so Paranoid?
Swine Flu duh ! I am pretty sure you readers already know details, therefore I will not go into them. If you do not know, google it. The Swine Flu is not a joke. I have seen people wearing masks already. It is an airborne disease. Cover your mouths when you cough and sneeze. Don't pick your nose and grab the poles on the train. That is not cool. According to Web Md, my source for anything medical (I am a hypochondriac) here are some symptoms and some prevention tips:
What is swine flu?
Like people, pigs can get influenza (flu), but swine flu viruses aren't the same as human flu viruses. Swine flu doesn't often infect people, and the rare human cases that have occurred in the past have mainly affected people who had direct contact with pigs. But the current swine flu outbreak is different. It's caused by a new swine flu virus that has spread from person to person -- and it's happening among people who haven't had any contact with pigs.
What are swine flu symptoms?
Symptoms of swine flu are like regular flu symptoms and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Those symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions, and that means that you and your doctor can't know, just based on your symptoms, if you've got swine flu. It takes a lab test to tell whether it's swine flu or some other condition.
If I think I have swine flu, what should I do? When should I see my doctor?
If you have flu symptoms, stay home, and when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. Afterward, throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. That will help prevent your flu from spreading.
If you've got flu symptoms, and you've recently been to a high-risk area like Mexico, CDC officials recommend that you see your doctor. If you have flu symptoms but you haven't been in a high-risk area, you can still see a doctor -- that's your call.
Keep in mind that your doctor will not be able to determine whether you have swine flu, but he or she would take a sample from you and send it to a state health department lab for testing to see if it's swine flu. If your doctor suspects swine flu, he or she would be able to write you a prescription for Tamiflu or Relenza. Thosedrugs may not be required; U.S. swine flu patients have made a full recovery without it.
ow does swine flu spread? Is it airborne?
The new swine flu virus apparently spreads just like regular flu. You could pick up germs directly from an infected person, or by touching an object they recently touched, and then touching your eyes, mouth, or nose, delivering their germs for your own infection. That's why you should make washing your hands a habit, even when you're not ill. Infected people can start spreading flu germs up to a day before symptoms start, and for up to seven days after getting sick, according to the CDC.
The swine flu virus can become airborne if you cough or sneeze without covering your nose and mouth, sending germs into the air.
The U.S. residents infected with swine flu virus had no direct contact with pigs. The CDC says it's likely that the infections represent widely separated cycles of human-to-human infections.
How is swine flu treated?
The new swine flu virus is sensitive to the antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza. The CDC recommends those drugs to prevent or treat swine flu; the drugs are most effective when taken within 48 hours of the start of flu symptoms. But not everyone needs those drugs; many of the first people in the U.S. with lab-confirmed swine flu recovered without treatment. The Department of Homeland Security has released 25% of its stockpile of Tamiflu and Relenza to states. Health officials have asked people not to hoard Tamiflu or Relenza.
Is there a vaccine against the new swine flu virus?
No. But the CDC and the World Health Organization are already taking the first steps toward making such a vaccine. That's a lengthy process -- it takes months.
I had a flu vaccine this season. Am I protected against swine flu?
No. This season's flu vaccine wasn't made with the new swine flu virus in mind; no one saw this virus coming ahead of time.
If you were vaccinated against flu last fall or winter, that vaccination will go a long way toward protecting you against certain human flu virus strains. But the new swine flu virus is a whole other problem.
How can I prevent swine flu infection?
The CDC recommends taking these steps:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- Avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Can I still eat pork?
Yes. You can't get swine flu by eating pork, bacon, or other foods that come from pigs.
What else should I be doing?
Keep informed of what's going on in your community. Your state and local health departments may have important information if swine flu develops in your area. For instance, parents might want to consider what they would do if their child's school temporarily closed because of flu. That happened in New York City, where St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens closed for a couple of days after eight students were found to have swine flu. Don't panic, but a little planning wouldn't hurt.
No longer bored ...

Once Again..
So Tyra Banks has somehow sold the dream that you can be anything you want to be — even if you want to be a model, weren't born looking like one, and there's nothing you can do about that. Yet she rejects thousands who believe her — making them feel terrible about themselves — while she plucks girls who actually have a shot at making it from the street like most model scouts. And what's worse, she doesn't even go to the auditions to spout off about girl power. We wish we could suggest that meant she has realized she's a walking contradiction, but she's just too, too dense.

Disgusted...
WHO THE FUCK did he think he was. I have gone into Mr. West so many times. I have even gone in my flat boots and jeans. This time I was dressed. I am not an ugly girl and I NEVER get turned away at any door. I am not a groupie, those that know me and chill with me know that I just go out to hang out with my friends. I could care less about who else is there and who is not. AND i do not sneak in though back doors. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. The dude really embarrassed me and made me feel like shit. Not so many people would admit to feeling like shit after an incident like this, but I will admit it. I felt as if there was something wrong with me.
It was like dude was going on a power trip , you just work the damn door, calm the fuck down. It's disgusting how there are people in the world like him. I understand the night life really well, and I understand how they prefer attractive people. Like I said. I am not ugly, I was not in my Pj's , I wasn't even wearing jeans, I was decent or shall I say "fresh". I may have not been wearing a sprouse, but it was not because I can't afford one, I do own expensive bags. I just choose not to wear Louis V. like everyone else does. I just happen to be a Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachael Nasvik kind of lady.
I know you are probably asking yourself "why doesn't she let it go?". I wish I could let it go , but I still woke up mad this morning because I am still confused as to why I was not let in. I was disrespected and treated like a piece of scum. I treat people with respect and I demand to be treated the same. After my rant on twitter I received a good amount of replies. People knew exactly who I was talking about. Some were even saying that dude is racist, others don't want to step foot into Mr. West. Thanks to the idiot at the door the reputation of Mr. West is not so great anymore...

Im still confused ...
Buzy Gurl Diaries ...
It's amazing to walk around the city doing something I am passionate about. It makes the days seem brighter even when they are gloomy such as it was on Friday. I walked around the Fashion district with no worries, just letting my creativity lead the way. I purchased some really great stuff and got right back into the subway. I heard salsa music and had to stop to record :

Awesome right? I wore it out the same night and the response was great. Saturday was another chill day, I worked on fulfilling orders all day and then headed out to Jersey with Girlz Talk for their performance.
Today I woke up extremely tired but I was happy to see my family especially a couple of little ones that I have not seen in about two months. It's tough to keep up with everyone when you are trying to reach for the stars, but you always have to remember that family comes first and you should take the time out to spend with them.
