Snoop Dogg: Drop it Like it's Hot

*** Lots of bad words ahead Mum, read at your own risk ;) ***

Drop it Like it's Hot (feat. Pharrell Williams)

[Intro]
Snooooooooooop..
Snooooooooooop..

[Chorus - Snoop Dogg]
When the pimp's in the crib ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed cause I got it going on

[Verse - Pharrell Williams]
Uh! I'm a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes, see these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat
The Phantom, exterior like fish eggs
The interior like suicide wrist red
I can excercise you, this can be your Phys. Ed
Cheat on your man ma, that's how you get ahizzead
Killer wit the beat, I know killers in the street
Wit the steel that'll make you feel like Chinchilla in the heat
So don't try to run up on my ear talking all that raspy shit
Trying to ask me shit
When my niggaz fill ya vest they ain't gon pass me shit
You should think about it, take a second
Matter fact, you should take four B
And think before you fuck wit lil skateboard P

[Chorus]

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
I'm a gangsta, but y'all knew that
Da Big Bo$$ Dogg, yeah I had to do that
I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside
But only on the left side, yeah that's the Crip side
Ain't no other way to play the game the way I play
I cut so much you thought I was a DJ
[scratches] "two!" - "one!" - "yep, three!"
S-N double O-P, D-O double G
I can't fake it, just break it, and when I take it
See I specialize in making all the girls get naked
So bring your friends, all of y'all come inside
We got a world premiere right here, now get live!
So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo

[Chorus]

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
I'm a Bad Boy, wit a lotta ho's
Drive my own cars, and wear my own clothes
I hang out tough, I'm a real Bo$$
Big Snoop Dogg, yeah he's so sharp
On the TV screen and in the magazines
If you play me close, you're on a red beam
Oh you got a gun so you wanna pop back?
AK47 now nigga, stop that!
Cement shoes, now I'm on the move
Your family's crying, now you on the news
They can't find you, and now they miss you
Must I remind you I'm only here to twist you
Pistol whip you, dip you then flip you
Then dance to this motherfucking music we crip to
Subscribe nigga, get yo issue
Baby come close, let me see how you get loose!

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Snooooooooooop.
Snooooooooooop..

It's Not In Vain (Okay, Yes it Is)

So, in my ongoing effort to battle the whole blemish thing (and honestly, that's putting it mildly) because I'm going to be thirty next year forgodsake, I've taken the advice of 2 people who have suffered more horribly than me. Or, I should say, who used to. They are now completely normal (for whatever normal means, these days) but of course I mean physically - outwardly.

For those of you who suffer this problem, to say it's a shameful thing would be putting it nicely and it barely covers the surface of how it really affects us. Some people cover it with makeup, some with really long hair; myself, I got used to it and just decided I "didn't care" what the world thought.

This is, of course, untrue. I did care, not so much what other people thought, but how I thought about myself. I've never been a particularly vain person, but I would like to like what was reflected in the mirror.

Okay, so... The advice given to me by two people: Cut out the dairy. Specifically milk and cheese. I know, I was skeptical and it sounds really wacky and bizarre.

And in the beginning, I thought, "Yeah no worries, I don't eat much dairy anyway."

Turns out I was wrong. Now I'm looking at ingredients on packages of food, regardless of what it is. I haven't had a piece of chocolate in three days - a record for me. Seriously. I usually eat one or two pieces every single day, either in the form of a cookie of some kind, or the bar kind. Most recently - easter eggs leftover from easter that we bought on sale a week after easter.

But anyway, so I've been on this No-Milk-No-Cheese-Or- Milk-And-Cheese-Byproducts "diet" for three days now (today marking my third). You know what I have discovered? I think there's something to this crazy advice. The pores on my skin have shrunk and my complexion in general is alot more refined. I have almost no more red patches on my skin. What blemishes I had, have shrunk so much I can hardly believe it myself, but have to since I can now look in the mirror and not cringe. I mean ... wow. And I have to believe my love when he looks at me and constantly remarks, "I can't believe how good your skin looks, baby!" I can't say that I've ever heard that in my life. And ontop of that, my face isn't nearly as puffy in the morning when I wake up and I don't feel anywhere near as bloated as I typically did in any given day.

Honestly, it's amazing. I'm so thrilled, and I haven't changed anything else in my diet at all. I still drink soda and I still eat cookies (that have no milk or milk byproducts in them). Yesterday I was looking up information on the web and found this and this and was absolutely astounded. Nothing else has changed in my eating habits or drinking habits, or morning face wash routine either. All I've done is eliminate milk and cheese (and byproducts) from my diet!

(I so seriously could be an infomercial person)

Anyway. I've suffered so ungraciously with such imperfect skin for the better part of my whole life, and it's always been a source of contention and misery for me to the point of hating having my face touched that now I've found something that actually seems to be working. You can't imagine how happy this makes me!

Now, if I could just lose that 15-20lbs...

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

So we headed out to the Toronto Zoo today. I was apprehensive going, since I have this tendancy to get really violent at the way alot of animals are housed and cared for in such a public venue. It grates on me to no end when animals are couped up in teeny little exhibits and are visibly melancholy. Actually, I lie - it enrages me to the point of tears and maddening frustration at not being able to find someone to take it out on.

I wasn't at all happy with this visit, though on the whole, it was not nearly as bad as it could have been. The exhibits were mostly okay, some of them were far too small in my opinion, but what really aggravated me the most was the fact that 90% of these exhibits did not have any food or fresh water in them. None. And finding someone who worked there, was like digging for gold in a tar pit.

Ontop of that, one of the monkey exhibits, while small, had about 5 or 6 of them in there, all sitting around on the cement grooming - except one who was too busy playing with the cut on his hand, making it bleed much worse than it should have been. To my utter dismay, though I wasn't surprised, I could not find anyone in this entire area who worked at the zoo.

I know it's pretty much off-season right now, with Spring only just starting, but jesus, is this the Zoo's way of saying they don't have enough money to hire employees and veterinarians to take care of their animals? I was horrified.

Oh, and I also have a giant blister on the underside of my right foot where it was rubbing against the fabric of my sandal.

But, on the positive side, I had the entire day outside in absolutely gorgeous weather with the love of my life by my side, and we even have a couple of pictures of us to commemorate the day.

Anthems are Tricky

So since when did Waltzing Matilda become the anthem for Australia? (scroll to the bottom paragraph)

This kind of ignorance ranks right up there with people thinking Koalas are bears. For shame, people.

More Changes

So, you might have noticed I went through the blog and cleaned it up - in the form of removing some posts, anyway. My Ex always told me I give too much information regarding my personal life, and evidently that's still true. So, bearing that in mind, I've decided not to keep documenting certain aspects of my life.

I'm sorry.

It's Another Tear Jerker

Finding Neverland. Have you seen it? You should. Absolutely outstanding movie. At first I thought it was going to be another typical Hook-type flick, but it turns out to be nothing like it whatsoever. And who can resist Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet?

Stunning visuals in this movie, the plot was amazing - very heart-warming and at the same time, very heart-wrenching.

I would have cried alot more in the end, except I was in the same room with D's mum and his brother, so I didn't let myself act like a complete baby (aka Titanic where I bawled for like an hour).

It's such a good movie though, one I highly, highly recommend.

Waiting to Explode

Have you ever had such news you were going to explode into thousands of tiny pieces if you couldn't tell anyone about it?

Well guess what? I'm going to explode into thousands of tiny pieces.
