My 2 Cents About C-Brezzy

Okay 1st of all...this Chris Brown/Rhianna crap is OLD and I'm over it. Yea, he kicked her ass and that wasn’t cool but to be honest...those people aren’t my friends. Our relationships are strictly business. They keep me entertained and I buy their music. That’s it....

My boy Malik tweeted this yesterday "Wife Beaters, rapists, molesters all go in the FUCK YOU GO TO HELL Category so add Chris Brown to that list"...

I totally agree!!! However, if I had to base all of my entertainment preferences off of what these people do in their personal lives I would be home twiddling my thumbs all day. I wouldn’t support Kobe, R Kelly, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Naomi Campbell....I mean the list goes on and on! I wouldn’t be surprised if your favorite college professor beat a girl or two down in his day. The difference is, you never knew about it.

The moral of the story is...Chris Brown is a great entertainer. I enjoy his work. I don't forgive him for what he did because honestly I wasn’t that mad at him. I wasn’t that mad because I really didn’t give a damn. I think the situation was so bad because it was in the public eye...judge me if you want. That’s just how I feel.

Chris Brown's performance last night was amazing and yes...I believe in the tears!

I Can Never Find The Words

On Wednesday, June 22nd, 2 of my ex-boyfriends little brothers died in a car accident. I found out by watching the 10 o'clock news last night. We've been broken up for about 2 years now but when I found out, for the first 30 secs I jumped back into "girlfriend mode". Wanting to be there, wanting to consol, wanting to hug him, wanting to tell him that everything would be okay...but when the 30 secs were over, reality jumped in. I need to call and send a text message like everyone else. So I called...got the voicemail...heard the beep... but I couldn't find the words to express how I felt. So, I just said "This is Aarika, I'm sorry about what happen, call me if you need me".

I felt like that was a terrible message!!! That wasn't comforting at all!!! I was up all night thinking about it and feeling awful only imaging what their family is going through right now.

So I opened my bible and fell upon this scripture. If I could do that message again, this is what I would say
What a wonderful God we have-He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does He doe this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us.2 Corinthians1:3-4

Titty Bar Gone Wrong

"It is very rare that I am embarrassed or uncomfortable in an environment, but tonight I am a prude"...I said that line to a stripper last night...smh

I went to my very first strip club in 2008 with some of my girlfriends. We drove all the way to Baltimore for a night of booty poppin' and lap dances @ this place called Norma Jeans (www.normajeansbaltimore.com). Don't get me wrong, I am by no means a "scissor banger" (let that one sit with you for a sec). Honestly, I really didn't understand the fascination behind watching chicks put their "who-haaa" (lmao...long story) all up in somebody's face.

Once we got there, I realized that my girls were there to get chose by the dudes that were tricking out on the strippers! Okay I get it...we're the classy girls in the club! Ohhhhh....it all makes sense now lol!!!

So these guys are giving us money to give to the strippers (you know my broke self was tryna figure a way to pocket some myself). They're buying us drinks. We buy a lap dance for one of my girls just for some laughs, we're making it drizzle on the girl, the guys are making it tsunami. I had fun!!!!

HOWEVER, if you take away the guys, the money, and the drinks...what are you left with? An uncomfortable homosexual experience. That’s what I had last night. We went to this new spot called Stadium (www.stadiumclubdc.com). The place was super nice! But...it might not be the spot for Thursdays. The music was real teeny-bop-ish (I needed some Uncle Luke they were giving me Black Eye Peas...wth). The girls were pretty but they weren't giving me any moves that I wanted to take home with me! The drinks were expensive as hell, so I was sober as hell. The guys there were just weak and pervie (and yes, I’m judging) It was just bad...Apparently the night to go is Tuesdays. Maybe I'll try again. Last night, I just couldn’t get with it...call me Granny Aye smh...

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)
