It's Confession Wednesday over at OkayPlayer




Hooray for Boobies!

Personally, I don't really want a product that I'm supposed to eat "filtered" through anyone's "cleavage". Still, it's one of the funniest things I've seen recently (not counting that dumb Sprint commercial where the guy is singing "Where the hood at?" to the tune of "Karma Chameleon"...which, I confess, is nevertheless very funny to me).

Hmm, what else? I also must admit that I spent way too much time last night playing around on this page. It's mesmorizing...

Lastly, I got tagged by Cupcake (who posted a hilariously disurbing story about Smith concerning her hairdryer and a Smithie who liked to go commando). Anyway, Cupcake asked for a list of:

"...seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to."

So, here it is, my Top 7 songs for the week:

1. "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" by Reel Big Fish

There is no shortage of love on my end for RBF. Even though I wouldn't consider myself a huge Tracy Chapman fan, this is definitely one of my favorite songs by her -- I'm all about revolutions.

2. "Dirty Girl" by Felt (Murs and Slug)

I've been bumpin the Felt Vol. 2 Album A Tribute to Lisa Bonet off and on for about a week now. This is one of my fave tracks off the album. Slug (from Atmosphere) is fixin to win the Mulatto of the Year award from me.

3. "Automatique" by Blackalicious

I really like Blackalicious, especially because of the MC, Gift of Gab. I'm not totally feeling their new album The Craft...except this cut. I dig this song.

4. "Cross my Mind" by Jill Scott

The kind of song that you play on repeat, then crack open a bottle of wine, drink straight from the bottle, sit on the floor with the lights dimmed and wonder what the hell happened to you...until the urge to drunk dial someone passes...*sigh* not that I've ever actually done that... *sigh*

5. "Nimm's leicht" by Curse featuring Pete Rock

The antedote to #4.

6. "Fly that Knot" by Talib Kweli featuring MF DOOM

I must concur, I also do not know why people try to be live when they're not...I wish they'd stop.

7. "Say it Again" by Little Brother

"They never could out pit us/Try to think fast, but never could outwit us/ The only thing that they could ever do is outfit us/ When clothes fit strange/ I'm playin Rick James/ 'Fuck yo couch, nigga!'" Just a feel good song.

Runner up: "Dunnt Anthem" by Dunnt

The beat is hella hot and I love the line, "It's Jewlius Caesar you don't want no part/Of the greatest posse cut since the Ides of March"

That's it really, except for the people who I'm tagging: Miss Fee, A. Neezy, Bu, André, Wonfuzius, Remy B., Tobitob.

Confess your musical sins (or whatever the opposite of a sin is...)

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
