These Are My Confessions

It's time for me to clear my spirit...I have many new confessions. So in no apparent order: 

It's time for me to finally own up to what I am...all of my friends have been calling me out on it for years, and I guess I was kinda sorta in denial. But *exhale* Okay, here goes. I...Lisa...am sort of a Male Booty Conneisseur. I really do try to control the urge to look, but its like...when a fine man walks by....the booty be callin me man. ((Lisaaaaaa, Lisaaaaaa!!!!)) and I have to look. Whew..I feel SO much better now. 

I confess..I may be better off single. My relationship lifespan seems to have gotten shorter recently. Seems like after a week or two, one lil thing annoys me and then another lil thing...and pretty soon, the way your eyelashes blink makes me wanna drive a stake through your left eyeball and I know I have lost interest. 

I took my Shahada years ago and definitely have a love for Allah...BUT...that swine be callin me still. Man...there are times I wanna just eat a whole damn pig. I know I can't, but like Pooky in New Jack...that po'k be callin me man. 

I come up with the most AMAZING blog ideas when I am on my way home...whether in the car or on the bus. And it never fails that I forget what the idea was by the time I get home. 

I admit...I accept my male friend requests partly based on how sexy there are. Damn...there, I said it. 

People think I am this like...social butterfly. But in all honesty, while I enjoy being around people for a lil while..I'm really antisocial. EVERYONE annoys me at some point. 

I spent 10.00 on loose candy at Mast General Store. That is the lowest amount of money that I've ever spent on candy there. I just ate 3.00 worth of original red swedish fish. No...really. AND a king size strawberry Charleston Chew. IJS And I just gave Aaron 20.00 to go to Taco Bell with and bring back dinner. Gonna be an uhh....aromatic house this evening. 

Oh, and prior to checking out the male booty...I generally do check the package too. IJS 

I stopped typing long enough to eat some cheesy potatoes and a chicken burrito. I'm done now...and my stomach is already singing a bad song. 

The man who doesn't annoy me after a week..is probably gonna be my next husband.  
I really have lost interest in American Idol now that they unfairly booted Joshua Ledet. 

Okay....I've lost my train of thought and I've gone blank, so I'm ending my confessions now.

American Idol Top 2

I think my love of AI has finally run it’s course. I’ve just tired of the push to put certain people through. It’s like it is set up and they know who will be the winner from the get go. And the ones that they intend to go through…you hear them always praising. And the ones they don’t… they find a reason to criticize.

They know who they want to push into the top 10 and therefore into the Summer AI Tour…who will sell seats and who won’t. My friend wants us to go to see the tour, but truthfully…between all that country music and the fact that I KNOW AI will pimp Joshua out (c’mon…we all know who they will have headlining, even though he didn’t win..because truthfully…while I’d watch a Jessica or Phillip video for a few minutes..they are most boring performers I have seen in forever) I dont really want to show support to AI. I would seriously buy tix to a Joshua concert TODAY, buy the cd, buy the concert tix, go to a in-store meet n greet…you name it. He has that IT thing that makes him connect to music, to people, etc. He has superstar written all over him. Philip has indie label/1-2 cd lifespan written all over him, Jessica has Tommy Mottola and Svengali written all over her. She will be groomed by the best and will have great success and we will care about her about as much as we care about the dirt that is behind the toilet… memorable voice, but not a memorable person. Maybe with some years she will..but now…MEH. Joshua on the other hand…you want to have over for dinner, have as a fb friend, go to family reunions and cookouts with…you just fall in love with him as a person AND as a performer.
