My Baby.

Music.  She's been a true doll that has been wit us through all of life over the many  years on this earth.  She's been true, hasn't left us, has remixed herself, yet has kept her classic beats.  She loves to party, loves to chill, and loves to shout "Thank you Jesus!!" every once in awhile! (You'll get that later!)  Now many of you who read this are music fanatics, some of you may not be.  Our focus for today is the genres of  R&B, Hip-Hop and a little Pop...no Jazz or Gospel on today.  Our blog is a little long so if you are at the crib and tired of watching reruns of Basketball Wives, or on a lunch break at the j-o-b. this is a good read!  Don't read while driving!  Please...

For the sake of the audience , we just gonna stick to cuts from the years 2000-2004, and will keep it clean.  Now I know someone out there is like "I'm breaking the rules at work and you mean I'm not gonna see Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek" video, or David Banner 's "Like a Pimp" or even the Ying Yang Twins' "Whisper Song" videos?"  Man, we ain't even gonna mention them! (wink!!)

 (As always click words which are different color for more of a "Galaxia" experience!)

This was truly one of the golden eras of music.  Mariah Carey was wearing throwback jersey dresses...Me and my guy JB were breaking our necks to watch the TV shows Cheaters and Dark Angel (We knew Jessica Alba was a starlet back then).  You could go through the airport freely...Ipods were classics not touch...Louis V bags began coming in colors, just good and wild times really.

Mya's "Case of The Ex". G-Dep's "Special Delivery". and Sisqo's "Thong Song" ruled the airways ... "Incomplete" was really tha song off Sisqo's Album though (and yes, I did say album dat gone-it!!).  Jagged Edge was breaking down and saying "Let's Get Married" and "He Can't Love You", while I was TOTALLY digging Common when he simply asked Mary J. Blige to "Come Close".  Jon B. hit us with the party song "Don't Talk" and my vintage favorite cut of his "Boy Is Not A Man"...This was an era y'all.   My boy Gin-u-wine aka GG was explaining "Differences" while showing his fashion sense with the banger "In Those Jeans"!  Be warned, if you have time, please read on , if not, u might want to stop cuz we gonna be here for a long while!

Those Were Tha Days...

Today its all about "the good ol' days!" Been hearing that phrase a whole lot as of late,  maybe its because literally things ain't the same.  Folks just don't know how it used to be. People just sitting underneath trees at night just talking til moonlight! My father used to have my brother and myself clean off them lawn chairs with a bottle of Fantastik seemingly every rip.  Then them mosquitoes used to eat u up! That Avon repellent did not work trust us! It was wild.  Playing outside on bikes or shooting basketball at the parks.  Once knew a guy who brought his own net to the court to put on the basketball rims.  And then would take it home when he left!  That's like bringing ur own salt shaker in ur pocket to Morton's steakhouse.  Vintage stuff.  Ok, a few things before we get to rolling...today's blog is seriously interactive, meaning many words are highlighted or in a different color. That means they are linked to video or picture, click on the word because it'll make this more fun!  Also this is through our eyes, the 80s, 90s, and yes the 00s are game for discussion.  Hope u like.

Why don't they make Carefree gum anymore?  I remember back n tha day, tha fam would go to Kmart, and when I wasn't shooting balls into the huge plastic ball bin in the toy section, or thinking about that popcorn popping in the cafe near the registers, that gum was a highlight for the kiddo! Pixie Stix (the giant ones!), Now and Later's, Smarties, M&M mini's, Gummy Worms, Pez ( I got the Daffy Duck one!) , and Mentos (why does that make me think of this show?), these were a staple of all kids diets it seems! And Kool-Aid, and tell me u didn't know all the flavors.  Orange, Grape, Tropical Punch...then they got slick with pina colada type flavors.  A 10 for $10 deal at the store would put us in heaven with them packets.!  We all ate all this and  yet most of us were still active and in shape.  Amazing when u think bout it.

Pop goes the Weasel!!

Kinda new at this blog thing, but just gonna write it as we write in our diary/journal/movie script...been keeping a written form of our autobiographical movie, at least since 2001 (what a year that was)...and the volumes are filled with a lot of stuff and episodes which we may share, cuz what do we have to hide.  Mean, all of us are going through something that has to do with work, money, health, ...taking folks out for a time out on tha town and then not hearing from them for years on end!  "Chick u owe me $27.59 in gas money at least!!!  And u owe me ur half of that 2 for $20 at Applebees!  Seriously.  This ain't cheap!"  But, let me let by-gones be by-gones and calm down...but u all know its true!...But its all good.  Check this out here's a quick conversation at KFC the other day:

Customer:  "Can I have a number #1..ah..$5 meal...white meat?"
KFC Worker:  "We don't have any white meat."
Customer:  "Ok, well...how long do I have to wait?"
KFC Worker:  "Naw...we don't have any white meat AT ALL!!"
Customer: (Silence and disbelief on his "lost my puppy" face)

Now how do u not have white meat!?! In the freezer or anywhere! That's like going to Dairy Queen and them saying they don't make blizzards anymore or going to your local zoo and saying that the monkeys don't want to come out and play because they are all business now (haha! get it)...it just don't make sense.  This is gonna be a silly blog today,so get urself prepared.  It'll be funny !

An Introduction

What's Up! What's Up!  This has been a long time coming hasn't it, a chance to let u into our world or should I say galaxia!  This is going to very fun, trust us!  For those of you who know us, hopefully this will get you really deeper into who we are are as a person.  For those who don't know us or if its been a while since u've heard or seen us, get ready and grab a chair because this will make you laugh, and hopefully think about some of the issues going around this thang called life.  During the last several years our life has been nothing short as a real life motion picture!  And we are going to share many of these out of whack stories about everyday life, opinions on music, fashion, and sports.  As well as tidbits on relationships and our encounters with a certain species of the opposite sex....girls.  Should I call out names?  Not yet, I don't want our first post to warrant a lawsuit!  But you can gear-ran-darn-tee that stories will be shared, and they are all real!

A little about the blog itself.  On the left side under or very mini profile, you have a unusual yet usual pic of the real MIA lifestyle.  Then you have My Playlist.  Those who know us are a super lover of music, so we will try to include songs that we dig at the moment. There will be a different topic for each playlist. Luv all types of music, try to keep it clean with the jams, just in case you want to check them out.  Have some younger family members so don't want to hurt their ears, but you will see some dance/club songs. (I love to dance!) You may heard these songs or maybe not ...but they are quality.  You will also find Favorites of the Moment which is short lists of things or people that are our Favorites of the Moment (Duhh!!!) Under that you'll find our Fav Websites that we always visit basically daily.
