lots of pics and eeeek!!!! :)
haha. so it's been a while since i last updated, and i have to be quick cuz i'm at work and trying to finish making a newsletter. call me cool? hahaa. and plus, i kinda have to use the bathroom.
EEEEK, EMINEM!!
my hottie. what i wouldn't give to be in his life for just ONE day. hahaa. jsut kidding. i'd probably get shot.
anyway, i was reading the Rolling Stone (they were on the cover), and i'm realizing mroe and more what a down to earth guy eminem is. haha. i mean, i already knew he was a good father (and TRYING to be a good role model for his daughter - he doesn't potty mouth in the house or in front of her). so anyway, the article was talknig about his D12 band and how they're his group of friends from when he was a kid. here's a clip of the article:
The separate-dressing-room thing doesn't bother them, at least not anymore. "It's better that D12 have they own dressing room and Em has his own dressing room," Bizarre says. "When it first happened, we used to be like, 'Damn, why he get his own dressing room?' But I'd rather have my own room and have who I wanna come in than be in Em room and be told who can come in." Besides, many nights Eminem wants D12 in his room. "He'll come over to our dressing room sometimes like, 'Why don't y'all come over with me?' " Kon Artis says. "Like a little kid: 'Come play with me.' "
Back when Eminem was in Detroit flipping burgers and painting designs on people's jeans for thirty dollars a pop, these guys were his friends. When no one else took him seriously, they helped teenage Marshall Mathers become the rhyme animal Slim Shady. "There's a million things Em could be doin' besides doin' an album with D12," Kuniva says, "but we're the only real friends he has. We grew up together, lived together, flipped burgers together. We used to just sit on the porch and drink and think about hip-hop, think about makin' it. There's a bond there that nobody can break. And there's a whole thing with him feelin' like he owes it to us to do it. He knows without D12 there wouldn't be a Slim Shady."
Back in the mid-Nineties, when Proof was the king of hip-hop in Detroit and everyone thought he would be the first to get large, they all made a pact that whoever made it first would pull the others up. "From '94 to '97, the possibilities of any of us getting a deal was good," Bizarre recalls. "We were, like, the best MCs in Detroit. It was like, 'Yo, whoever get on first and get a deal, come back and get everybody else.' " Then Eminem took a trip to Los Angeles and landed a record contract. "He went to Cali and called us three weeks later from a pay phone," Bizarre says. "He said, 'Yo, I just signed with Dr. Dre. I need y'all to come out here.' " True to his word, Eminem immediately began trying to fit D12 into the scenario. "Marshall was tryin' to force us on him," Bizarre said. " 'This is my boys! D12!' And Dre said, 'Wait a minute - it's about you.' Dre told him, 'Build your house before you have your friends walk in it.' "
Success has only made Eminem need his friends more. "They're my foundation," he says. "If I lose my foundation, then what do I have? Just to be by myself on a big-ass mountain, a little lonely rich bastard? Not only are these guys my friends, I don't trust nobody new that I meet. At all."
It's clear that Eminem finds fame a difficult weight to shoulder. He speaks with almost glazed eyes about the good ol' days. "Proof would call me at one, two o'clock in the morning with just syllables," he says, reminiscing, "like, 'Yo, an abominable region, an abdominal lesion.' That's how we fed off each other back in the day. Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Kool G Rap, whoever did syllables, we just locked on to them. That's what my loyalty dates back to, the days of living on fuckin' Dresden, on the East Side, in my kitchen wishin' we could do something. From kids to now, we're living the dream."
okay so lots of potty mouthing there...sorry about that. but look!!! he's so loyal to his friends. and i find that hard to believe in rich people. hahaa. okay aynway, here's the rolling stone cover (which i'm goign to buy):

TEST DRIVING
so this past saturday, i had the opportunity to go test drive some cars. actually, test drive A car. and it's not even a car, i guess. hahaa. anyway, i met up with my mom and we went to the honda dealership and hopped in the Pilot and drove around. awesome. it's a very smooth and quiet ride, which she liked. i guess the only thing i DIDN'T like was the fact that the gear shifter was on the steering wheel like other cars. i like it when the gear shifter is like, in between the seats, you know? but oh well. i mean, our MPV van is like that too, so i dont' know why i'm so picky. anyway...to my future car:
except i wouldn't want that dark gray side panel. it's ugly. yay.

AHAHAHA. everything underneath his clothes was PURE WHITE. and the rest of him was like...gray. AHAHAHAHA. (booger's supposed to be white, by the way).
so anyway, she was washing his clothes, and then my aunt took booger and washed HIM. when he came out, he was fluffy and very white. and then i started laughing cuz dude...he looks weird without clothes. like, so NEKKED. HAAHAHAHA. you know after you see your stuffed animal with clothes on for so long, and then all of a sudden he's undresssed, he just looks so...bare? (hey, nice pun.) haha.
