Divalicious Opinions

Its Been Real

2010-05-10T11:07:00.000-04:00

I'm not feeling divalicious opinions anymore. I thought I'd feel better after I changed my name from Opinionated Diva to "Jazzy", but…nah…I need a complete overhaul (new blog, name change, new layout, etc.). It just doesn't feel like home to me anymore…sooooo this is it. New spot is here-->http://www.jasminnation.blogspot.com Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

MTA Subway Hustlers

2010-04-12T14:37:00.001-04:00

Chick gets on the train, shuffling along wrapped in a blanket even though she is fully clothed (side eye – it’s HOT outside and even hotter in the subway, so what are you doing?). Outwardly, I look like I’m looking through my BB, but out of the corner of my eye I watch her do a lap to the front of the train car, then she comes back around to the end of the car. When she has everyone’s

2010-03-25T10:02:00.000-04:00

So my relatives want to have a family reunion. It’s been a long time since we had one…decades really. Despite how weird they can be, I’m excited to see the old folks and all the strangers I’m tied to by blood…and then I got the email with the details. SOMEONE (not exactly sure who made this decision), has decided we’re all going down to Virginia Beach for the reunion, when the majority of us

Work Convo

2010-03-15T15:27:00.001-04:00

My coworkers have been working my last nerve. Everybody wants to come to my desk to chat. @shesayswhatever says it’s because I look friendly (side eye to that). LOL! The following convo was one of the funny ones today. Her: (whispering) Yoooo…who da sista with the bad weave? Me: (snickering) The one who was just here talking to me? That’s her real hair!

MESSY!!

2010-03-09T16:15:00.001-05:00

I went for a walk with my co-worker today and heard this straight up bizarre and trifling BS story. Her friend was dating this guy for FIVE YEARS. That in itself is a red flag to me (at our age), but anyway they’re dating. These two were inseparable, seemed to really be in love and girlfriend was even in good with his mom. Just before the drama unfolded, his mother had asked her, “When are

Flashback Friday - Sean UPDATED!!

2010-03-05T09:37:00.001-05:00

Sean was one of those chubby pretty boy types with curly hair (it was s-curl enhanced though). He was Al B. Sure with Chuckii Booker”s even toned lips, and a little bit of street cred. The other guys on the block gave Sean mad respect and would fight over him when they picked teams on the b-ball court. Yet this dude had nooooooooooo game whatsoever. Most of the girls loved watching him play

So every Monday Jam does a blog post about just random things that she’s seen, thought about, talked about, etc, so I’m jacking for today’s post. Went to a party with my sis on Saturday. I’ll have to do an in depth post later in the week. Cool party. Would have been NICE for my sis to tell me that she was trying to set me up with one of her co-workers though. Especially when she had

You ever notice when women are dumped or there's a dude they're feeling who isn't feeling them, they allllllll of a sudden become religious fanatics? No? Maybe it's just me...but I've noticed quite a few women do this. All of a sudden it's all about "leaving it in God's hands"..."HE wasn't God sent"..and all that shyt.

Thursday 13 - Things Found In My Purse

2010-02-24T20:52:00.021-05:00

I know most women have multiple handbags that cost small fortunes. That is not me. Give me an all-purpose everyday cute bag with pockets and space and I’m in Heaven. I switch it up if I’m going out, but for the most part, I heart my all-purpose daily bag. Problem is, daily use means I end up throwing all kinds of junk in it and it remains cluttered until I FINALLY clean it out. Cleaning

He wouldn’t allow me to select any options…soooo selfish!

Name Change

2010-02-22T19:23:00.001-05:00

I changed my name. I was sick of the whole Opinionated Diva handle. I've been using it FOR YEARS now and it was time for a change. It just took me a minute to figure out how to change it. Is it just me...Or do any of you find it easier to figure stuff out after you THOROUGHLY curse (at the object, your body part, the air, etc.)? Maybe it's just me. sidenote: I'm watching Judge Judy as I type

Recently my married friend tried to give me relationship/dating advice. She went from trying to tell me where I could find a good guy to talking about my situation with the ex. He and I “see” each other occasional. Read what you want into that “see” part. She’s never met him, but she knows of him, since I’ve known him for a while now. I know she wants me to be happy with someone, but

Fast forward to now...I've gained all the weight I lost...and then some (insert disgusted side eye to myself). Why did I stop working out? Well for starters Fabio started smelling himself.

The things some of these girls have to deal with constantly have me side eyeing and raising an eyebrow. I am sooooooooooo glad, that I learned how to professionally say NO to people a long time ago.

I’m so hard on women. Sometimes I see us doing stupid shyt for a nikka that doesn’t care and it takes everything in me not to say something. I admire women that love hard and fast though. I still think you’re out of your damn mind most of the time…but a small part of me admires your deluded way of thinking. I think it’s ignorant to fall in love with someone YOU KNOW is just NOT THAT IN

If you have never been to the PJ's (the projects) and/or you've never experienced "project heat", let me hit you with an FYI. Project heat is so hot the entire apartment will feel like Calcutta!

I’m on my way to the supermarket. As I’m walking down the street, I see this dude standing IN THE STREET just eye stalking women. Well at first it looks like mere eye stalking, but as I get closer I see he’s trying to holla. I wish I had been quick enough to snap video. You ever see a dog chasing cars in a busy street? They run after tail lights in one direction, then the lights of another car

Train Trouble

Now that I take the 2 train home, I’m almost positive I’m going to have a train drama post EVERY WEEK. These folks are as crazy on the 2 train as they are on the A train to Brooklyn. I tweeted last week about this crazy lady who was singing and crying and taking off her clothes (her shirt) while pulling at her hair. Chick was out of her mind and completely DRUNK...even though it was only lunch

Hey Ms Franklin, Clearly your stylist is either blind or she hates your guts. I guess you didn’t get the memo, but big boneDED women who are big breasted…especially with big chi chi’s that have a bit of mileage (ahem...gravitating downward)…should stay AWAAAAAAAY from thin strapped tops.

Saturday I had an appointment for the Cable guy to give me the hook up. The appointment time I agreed on was anytime from 2 to 6pm, because I knew after a day of moving I did not want to be up early the next day. My new place gets a LOT of sunlight, so even though I was tired, the sun had me up early o’clock. At first I moped around trying to convince myself to get to unpacking…yeah…no! So then

2009-11-05T22:30:00.000-05:00

Asian Fusion - I have an Asian co-worker who speaks with an English accent. Every time she says something I just stare at her. She looks like Bruce Lee's sister but she speaks like one of those Harry Potter kids. The accent just throws me off!Cool White Dude - He appears to be White, but he speaks like he grew up in my hood! It doesn't sound forced or like he picked it up from an afternoon spent

Thursday Thirteen - Precious

2009-11-04T22:27:00.005-05:00

This is inspired by the book, “Push”, which is now a movie called "Precious".This is thirteen things about this book that shocked me.1 – The movie is coming out this week (I think Friday). Why is this shocking? Well I never would have thought this would make it to the big screen. It's really gritty and ugly...definitely more shocking then Bastard out of Carolina and The Color Purple...so yeah I'm

2009-11-03T21:00:00.004-05:00

So today at lunch time I went to see the PERFECT apartment! PERFECT sized rooms! PERFECT location! PERFECT commute to work (20 minutes away)! It had PERFECT views! And the price was within range!I rushed back to work to complete the paperwork…thinking I can drop it off along with a deposit on my way home tonight. Check out what happened just before leaving work. Some thievvvvving azz couple

Apartment Chronicles

2009-11-02T21:57:00.008-05:00

I suspect there will be a LOT of these posts over the next month or so, so get used to it.Over the weekend, I found an apartment online that might be something I'd like. From the pictures, the living room looks nice (hardwood flooring, crown molding and big windows)…nothing to ooh and ahhh about, but it was OK. The bedroom was the same set up, but I was a little suspicious because the pic didn’t

So November is National Blog Posting Month. I have to giggle to myself as I type that since I am ATTEMPTING to participate by posting every day for the next 30 days and I don't really think I can do it. I talk a lot, but I don't know if I have enough in me to write that much and I'm not sure I have the discipline to sit down and write up all that I see and think about...we shall see.I always

Happy Halloween

2009-10-30T01:00:00.003-04:00

Growing up you didn't go to school on Halloween. You didn't go out at all - forget about trick or treating.Going out you ran the risk of being egg'd, hit in your head with Neet or rotten fruit...and today you have to worry about it being gang initiation night. So have fun...but be careful!PS: I'm sneaking off to see the apartment at lunchtime...wish me luck!

The Move

2009-10-28T23:59:00.003-04:00

So as I’ve mentioned many times, I’ve been flirting with the idea of renting out my condo and moving back to NYC. The plan was to move back to Bed-stuy. When I told my mom I was moving back to Brooklyn, she got all excited. Normally, she complains I move too much. So then I’ll tell her, that I get it from her nomadic tendencies…and remind her how SCARRED I was (I wasn’t scarred) because I was

What About Your Friends

2009-10-26T23:59:00.000-04:00

This morning, my cousin woke me up crying and hysterical about her childhood friend, Nikki. Her friend Nikki is my childhood best friend’s, younger cousin. I still keep in contact with my former bff Chris, but my cousin cut Nikki off a long time ago.Nikki used to be her partner in crime. I’m not sure what happened, but my cousin just decided one day she didn’t want to deal with her anymore. I

FB Heartbreak

2009-10-25T22:35:00.007-04:00

For a while now one of my old classmates has been updating her status asking a certain someone to call her. She’ll post something like, “You know I’m still waiting for your call babe”…consistently. To be honest...and I really don’t mean to seem mean, but this just seems desperate.I don’t want to appear as nosy as I really am, so I haven’t asked her who she’s talking about. Plus I don’t know her

Something I hate about blog posts.

2009-10-21T11:28:00.001-04:00

Not what I hate about my own posts, but what I hate about other people’s…because as you know I’m perfect and so are my posts! Lol Anyway…secks is a topic I’m starting to loathe reading about. I like talking about it just as much as the next person…probably like talking about it more than the average person, but do I want to read an entire blog post about it? No - Not really. Some

Stop Harassing Me!

2009-10-20T10:51:00.001-04:00

I’ll post when I’m good and ready! Ok so no one has SPECIFICALLY harassed me but I know what you’re thinking. Yes…I read minds now…ack like you know! You’re thinking: What is her problem? Why doesn’t she post anymore? Why doesn’t she comment on MY posts anymore? She fell waaaaaaay off! I can feel your beady little eyes………stop it! *side eye’g back* Blah…ok…it’s really not that serious.

My Good Deed for The Day

I need to clean out my draft folder…so this is something I typed up last month. I don’t think I posted it yet. **************************************** I used to be tight with this co-worker…so tight that a couple of years ago we went on vacation to London together. Then we had a falling out because we were planning the next vacay to Paris and miss thing’s man told her she couldn’t go

How to kick a ninja out

2009-09-14T16:32:00.000-04:00

Originally I wrote an even longer more detailed post about this situation, but decided to scrap it…too much damn information. See the preludes…how to kick a nikka out, parts I and II. Sorry since I’m emailing this post, I can’t link ‘em…should be easy to find though. The bottom line is that the homie’s live-in boyfriend finally moved out. A week later he told her he wanted them to go to

Kanye got on stage and said what a LOT of us were already thinking. It was rude and I feel bad for the girl he disrespected (I've already forgotten her name), but it is what it is.No Single Ladies didn't make a profound statement, but I don't know too many videos that have folks from kids, to men to women...from hetero's to homos trying to learn the entire dance routine - it was the most popular

Cranky, Sick & Tired

2009-09-02T14:52:00.001-04:00

The day before yesterday, I could feel it coming…only being able to breathe from one nostril was a definite signal that I was on the brink of being sick. Do I take a decongestant or anything though? Nope. Yesterday, I had the stopped up nostril and the other wouldn’t stop running. I’d try to blow my nose and would succeed in clogging up my ears…just weird. Nothing would come out of my nose

Meeting in the ladies room

2009-09-01T11:07:00.000-04:00

So yesterday was the bank’s orientation day for the newbies. It’s usually every other Monday. And every other Monday these nasty heffas from that orientation class descend on our otherwise clean bathroom with their nastiness. Let me go into what happened yesterday. One of the stalls looked like a friggin scene for Grissholm and the CSI team. There was blood on the seat, in the commode

So the megamillion jackpot is currently over $300 Million. If I won, this is how I’d spend my money…in no particular order. 1. I would keep it on the low yo! …I’d try anyway. You know the papers always want to photograph the winners. Eff that! I’m putting on an old Ron Reagan mask or a patch over my eye and a tina turner wig on my head for the press conference. I have way too many

I know it might seem like I’ve practically abandoned my lil blog, but I haven’t. The funny thing is that I write stuff all the time. I just hate having to email a post (which is what I’m doing now) as opposed to being able to log on to blogger, and format or correct what I’m writing, but I’m over that. Of course I could log into blogger after work, but who am I kidding…that is NOT going to

When I saw this I litterally said OH MY GAWD...out loud. I put my hands on my ears to drown out the sound, but my eyes could not turn away from the screen. Ummmmm...I'm still in shock. I aint able. All those Wayans boys are suspect! ">

So last night's Beyonce concert was just awesome. My voice is still recovering. Wish I had some pics for y'all but nothing is good enough to post. Her set is super bright. Her costumes either glow in the dark or they're flashy and reflective of the light, so she's glowing like a ghost in all of the pics I took. It really is one of the best concerts I've been to though. For Single Ladies, I loved

Happy Father's Day

2009-06-21T11:54:00.003-04:00

I've been seeing conditional Father's Day shout outs all over FB and Twitter. I think it's interesting that MANY people include stuff like, "Happy Father's Day to the REAL fathers" - so snarky. I don't remember seeing snarky comments like that on Mother's Day...definitely a sign of the times.Inspite of that...I want to wish ALL fathers a Happy Father's Day. If you haven't been on top of your game

Semi Wordless - Possums in da hood

2009-06-17T09:43:00.001-04:00

So I’m walking along bopping to my ipod (I’m about 3 blocks from my apt) and realize this little critter is staring me down. I almost fell, I was so creeped out. I swear I never ran in the street so fast. At first, I thought it was a rat, but a gray and white rat? Nah. So I stood in the middle of the street and used the zoom feature on my camera phone to take this pic…folks on twitter tell

2009-06-16T08:45:00.000-04:00

The move to BK is on hold. If I talk to you regularly or you follow me on twitter or FB, then you already know this. I just decided to wait, sell my place, and get out of dodge (Jersey) for good. Plus renting my Jersey place out to strangers, while I move to NY, doesn’t sit well with me. I’ll do it if I absolutely have to (because I can’t sell my place), but for now I’m going to TRY to be

Subway Hustlers

This morning I’m about a station away from getting off the train, when this older dude, wearing a kufi, acid washed jeans (yes acid washed!) and this LOUD azz shirt boards the train. His voice is as loud as his shirt, so I hear him even though I’m blasting my ipod. In his hand is a blown up picture of the cutest little girl. He starts his shpiel off like so, “My name is blah blah blah

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged

On this day (actually the bday is tomorrow)…many many years ago the Original Bighead was born. After just one year, nine months and seventeen days as the only child, O.B. ruined my reign. As I’ve written before (sorry the post is hidden now), I made her early days a living hell pretty much. It’s not my fault yo…she was such an easy target. Lol If someone had told me back then, that she’

How Do You Kick A Nikka Out - Part II

2009-05-26T13:43:00.001-04:00

So yesterday, I received this incredibly LONG email from my bff about her situation with the live in. She emailed me because dude was all up under her and so was his daughter. As big as her house is (nearly 3,000 square feet), she couldn’t even find a corner to talk to me without them following or finding her. Last time she sat out in her car to talk…just crazy. Now that school is out

How Do You Kick A Nikka Out?

2009-05-15T10:36:00.001-04:00

I don’t have experience with this. Mostly because a lot of the guys I’ve dealt with, never learn the location of the bat cave. The ones who do know…know better than to out stay their welcome. I’ve never had someone shacking up with me either…I just don’t believe in that. We’re getting a place together because there is a ring on my finger and a wedding date on the calendar…but we are not

Just One of Those Days

2009-05-14T09:30:00.001-04:00

My least favorite aunt is visiting and I’m feeling extra cranky and crabby. Currently I’m sipping on peppermint tea (as a chaser to the Aleeve I took earlier), to help calm the cramps, but I’m feeling especially evil this morning. Everyone is annoying the hell out of me at work. As soon as I get off the elevator to my floor, Gee (mailroom busybody) collides in to me (as he’s getting on).

Hardest working dude on FB

Some days I see his FB updates and I roll my eyes…seriously I do. I think to myself…will this dude QUIT TALKING ABOUT FOOD! His FB updates are about food… his radio show is about food… his website is about food. Sheesh - I’m on a diet! Notice the first three letters of DIEt??? So yeah…he’s killin’ me yo! Will he stop asking for taste testing volunteers??? Is he sending a plane ticket

First time I fell out of love was in second grade. His name was Carlos, but we called him Carlito. He had long hair for a boy and his mom often put it in a pony tail. You’d have thought he was a girl if not for the thick eyebrows. I was so infatuated with him…then he got head lice. I don’t do cooties. When he came back to school I wouldn’t even look at him. In
