Ehhh.....

I dont know about this one Dray-Dezzy!

Papi's Day

Yesterday was Fathers Day and I hope you all sent good wishes to that special Daddy figure in your life. I call my Daddy figure Papi. Biologically, he would be considered a "step-dad" but he's pretty much the best thang i got!

So...to express my love and affection I called him yesterday, didn't really have anything to say other than "Happy Papis Day!", but I still called. and called...and called...and called. Do u know this man didn't pick up his phone until like 10 o'clock at night?!?! Like, WTH! The best part of Fathers Day is hearing from your children right? Wrong!!!

I was like, "what's up! I've been calling you all day!" He says "Oh, i went to church, had brunch, took a nap"...oh okay (*rolls eyes)

Well anywho...I have no event to go to or poppin happy hour today. I just wanted to vent. I still love him of course, was just in my feelings a little bit.

I'll tell you what...in honor of Papis Day, I leave you with my favorite Foreign Exchange song. I mean, I love Foreign Exchange...he loves Lil Brother...both groups share Phonte (see the correlation?) lol

I Heart BROS!

And by bros i mean white boys and guys from other races that party like white boys. They crack me up! I was in Chicago last weekend and my boy DMays was telling about the arts of Icing! Apparently this is a national phenomenon that black people know nothing about! This is how it works...If you are in a public (or private) setting and someone presents you a Smirnoff Ice, you are then required to get on one knee and chug the Smirnoff.

Here's a "how to" video...enjoy :)


and a shorter one, just for kicks :)

I'm Back Bee-Yoches

Back by popular demand!!! Didnt know that my 30 post from last summer were so popular! I was reading back on my first post and my best friend Dest commented "You're funnier on here than u r in real life" hahahahaha....I AM!!!! thats the sad part. So, the site has been redesigned, it kind of reflects a little bit of maturation that I've had over the past year. However, some things don't change and the contents of this blog is one of them. Therefore, if you are new (or if you have forgotten)...

There's a few things that you should know about this blog:

1). (this may be the most important) It's RANDOM as HELL!!!! It's a mix between informing my readers about whats poppin for the day ( & night), random stories about what happen when my friends and I went to these places, and random stories & pictures that I find will surfing the net @ my dry ass job .

2). I sometimes like to spell words how I want you to read them such as speh-cee-ale (that would be special with a spanish accent)

3). I like to plug for people, so if my friends are doing something cool I might just shout them out

4). It's called RoseRNTRed because it's not typical. You will not find events on here that you would usually attend, you will not find stories on here that you read on the other 500 blogs that you read for the day, you will not find all the gossip stories (however you may find 1 or 2 that I think are absolutely outlandish!!!)

6). (DISCLAIMER) I don't have a computer...i can only post @ work lol so when my job is not dry, I might not be posting (Sadly this is still true)

7). A lot of these stories may be surrounded around me being poor lol...thats just the way it is! (sadly, this is still true also O_o)

Snitches Get Stitches

Well...i hope thats not the case cause i am SNITCHING MY ASS OFF (SMAO)!!! Via: DCist

We frequently hear complaints during the school year about groups of kids on their way home from school misbehaving and causing problems on the city's public transit system. And now WMATA is encouraging you to lodge those complaints with Metro Transit Police. Metro has designated a specific phone number, 202-962-2118, to report disruptive behavior on the part of kids. The transit agency also says it will be deploying additional officers to trouble spots during the after-school hours, in an effort to break up trouble before it escalates.

WHAT!?!? You mean to tell me there is a number that I can call when these little hoodrats on the train and the bus get out of pocket. Thank you Jesus! I wonder what happens when you call though. Is Metro Police giving out tickets? What they need to do is make the hoodrats sit in a room with a dead ipod and make them listen to something really annoying like Opera music until they snap. I feel like I'm gonna scream when my pod dies and i have to listen to them scream at each other. Its only fair

Republicans Have NO Manners

I'm not very into politics but I do try to stay up on the current events happening in the world. This article that I read this morning hit pretty close to home and kinda pissed me off!

Michael Steele might have lost them when he talked about hip-hop. Early into his Sept. 1 event at Howard University, a well-promoted affair that filled a small ballroom, the first black chairman of the Republican National Committee went on a tangent about his seven-month-old musings on how the GOP could appeal to voters in “urban/suburban hip-hop settings.” The audience, mostly students of the historically black college, listened raptly...Steele-"You have amongst you right now a generation of African-American entrepreneurs who are creating incredible wealth, and they’re investing it, some of it, in the community. They’re controlling that wealth. How are they doing it? Well, instead of the publisher or the record company owning the rights to their music, they own the record company.”Not for the the last time, a few members of the crowd furrowed their brows, looking confused.

Damn right people were confused. WTF Chairman Michael Steele! Do you feel like the only way you can relate, "be down", "get Jiggy" with HBCU students is to talk about hip-hop? As a Howard University Alumni I am truly offended. This would not be the topic of conversation at a town hall meeting at USC, Yale, or even up the street at University of MD. Excuse me, Howard is a very prestigious African American University and the students expect to be treated accordingly. As a black man, you expect more from us as we expect more from you. This is a town hall meeting, how about you speak about the ISSUES instead of tryna be the next Jay-Z.

UGH...no f'ing manners!!!

BTW (and if you are a Howard student you know this) we can talk about Howard all day but as soon as an outside person tries to disrespect our school, we will come at your throat buddy and it will not be pleasant.
