SO iTS OFFiCiAL TiSSUE

The big homie is officially America's daddy.
Classes were cancelled from 11am-2pm so everyone was able to tune into the inauguration.
Due to lack of sleeep last night (went to bed at 4am)--i almost missed my 1st day of Biology Lab (9:30am)-- but thanks to the super duper bestie Tasha, she sent me a text saying:"Jam Get the fuck up!"
lmao.
Where would i be w. out her is what i ask!
Anyway; moving on.

At 11am, i get a text from my mommie sayin:"I hope you are watching your new president give his speech. You voted."
And i could't help but to cheese. Like odee CHEESEEEE. Too know that this man, who looks like me, when the press is not in his face--talk like me, and gota crazy swagg, even walks like me... has been elected to be the 44th president of the U.S.of A! Word to my moms, i am so thankful for being able to see this day.
I'm not going to give you word for word of his speech, because im pretty sure EVERYONE and they POPS were on it but i will def say that Barack Obama IS my inspiration and so is his gorgeous family.

One part of the Inauguration that had me cracking up though was the Benediction by Rev. Joseph E. Lowery.
This man said: "....help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."

Now-- if ya'll didn't find that funny, yall wack!
That part had me on the FLOOR because he did not CARE. "When brown can stick around-- when white will embrace what is right." As funny as that shit sounds though, its 110% TRUE.

Tasha said that she's never been so proud to own an American Flag. And i totally agree.
It was all about my Puerto Rican and Panama Flag @ 1st! loll.

Naw, but on some real shit.
God Bless America.
God Bless the Obamas.
God Bless us All.

It has been made OFFICAL.
It is OFFICAL.

FOR THE BiG HOMMiE OBAMA AKA O-BREEZY!


Its Midnight, officially the day of The Inauguration and i just got the odee bubble guts. Why? i have nooo clue. Just the thought of this powerful man at the podium, speaking to us all.


Yo-- shit is just crazy.

See, this is another reason why Life is Golden, as said like 10 minutes ago.

Now tell me I'm lying. =)


Welcome big hommie O-breezy.

We in here!

Easyyyyy!!
WORDD!
=Millzy 4 O breezy. ooowww!=


LiFE iS GOLDEN

...This is a statement I've been saying for a good minute now.
It basically came about one day... i was thinking about all the things i complain about, all the things i lack and all the things I'm overwhelmed with. And i came to the conclusion that even when times seem-- no-- rather when times ARE hard, we tend to lose sight of all the good that's been holding us up and together. I tend to do that alot. I'm a very happy person, dont get it twisted. Im not here to cry about how socially incorrect or whatever i am, because i can honestly say that i am a well rounded girl. But i do have my times where i be feeling like a fuckin re re.

My boy just lost his cousin downsouth last night, and he called me being to basically vent. A girl by the name of Nyasia passed away after a party in Brooklyn the other day, and i began to think about all the people that i've lost in the last 2 years.
Then when it comes to relationships (a bad break up)--school (you got a F or had to withdraw)--the big and small things that happen to us--whatever it maybe. When the bad things happen to us we just cant seem to grip around the reasons behind them. It's just always the question of 'WHY?' And i kind of feel like i know WHY.

The things that happen to us are to make us stronger. They happen so we can learn from it--cherish it and move on. They happen to everyone, just at different times. You're definitely not alone. I know how cliche that shit is, like we've heard that all our lives. But on some real shit-- its true.

Think of all the good.. Then put them up against the bad.
Maybee the bad just happens to actually weigh out the good.
but think about it-- you're still here.
Alive-- breathing--try smiling man.

Always know that we have to go through all the bad and worst before we can really feel and appreciate the good and great.

Real talk.

keep in mind yo.
that Life is Golden .


Word to da Muhvaland.

SCHOOL vs. ME

So, i woke up this afternoon around 12:45, went to brunch w. my roommate Jenny, had mad french toast, eggs, home fries, and apple juice. I come back to my room and theres this email in my FirstClass account, (Firstclass is what students @ my school, MCLA Massachusettes College of liberal Arts, use as means of communication). Anyway-- i open the email, sent to me and some others, from this white chick and its entitled "Hip Hop/Urban Culture"

Here's the email:
Hey! What's up? I hope you all had a great winter break! I am writing to you because for my "Creating Story Theatre" class my group is doing the topic "Urban Culture". Our performance will be during the One Acts on April 28th-30th (performing on one of those days). We may need to work out a time that works for you to meet before then. All of us are not very familiar with hip hop dance and we were hoping maybe you guys could help out or recommend someone who could!
Some ways you can help:
--Teach us some hip hop dance/Step
--Perform as part of our skit (Or if you have a video from a performance we could show it on a projection screen)
--Cut a track(s) for us
--Answer some questions in an interview
I know that you all are probably wicked busy but this would be a great help! We are planning to include: hip-hop dance, music, slam poetry, body art, speed painting, graffiti art...ect. If you have any thoughts, suggestions or other ways you could help out please feel free to let me know. I hope you all have a good semester! Thanks!
BTW, this would be a great thing to put on a resume! :-D

Sincerely,
L.M.


I read it, and @ first nothing seemed wrong. But then i went back to the top to view who recieved this email, and not to my surprise it was all the African-American students on campus.
Mind you, my school is majority white and maybe about 60 blacks out of a campus of about 1,200.

A friend of mine Jamal, Replied to the email asking the recipients:
Hey,
Did everyone read the message below? LoL-- should any of us be offended? I honeslty don't know how I should feel about this... am I overreacting?

Jamal


Now, who told this girl that US black students know how to dance urban? Who told her to email all the black students on campus??? Who told her that i was BLACK?! How she assume all of us are African American??

So many levels of ignorance that i bet she didn't even catch on too. Just being mad fucking closed minded.

Sad right?
I didn't even reply back-- at least not yet.
Cuz i know for a fact, some fly shit will come off these lips.
And i got hella homework to do.
But ill be sure to show you guys my response once im done w. my homework.

All i could do is shake my head.
Am i overreacting?

-Millzy.

iNTRODUCTiON: SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Ah hem!
- Allow me to introduce to myself.
Name is Jamila; mostly known as J-Millz;Millie;Millzy;Jay-Pay-$0;High Yellow; or as seen in the title-Milli Millz. I'n not into this whole INTRODUCTORY paragraph thing-- it brings me back to High school w. all the topic sentences & shit like that.

I've been waiting a while to begin this bloq of mine, but since im not that great at makin the banners and all that flyy shitt-- i relied on my handy dandy best friend Miss. SARAH NOELLE and here it is. I didnt want to begin posting and have you guys readin my shit on some ashy ass lay out. Ya diggy?! But now that its decent--- i can get on w. my show yo. =)


I'm not going to sit here & write a whole "ABOUT ME" section, but for some quick facts:
i am a Proud East New York Brooklynnite--currently resting my head in my 2nd home-- SouthSyde Jamaica Queens (Nucca you herd me?! 50 voice)--
I tend to curse alot &
I'm trying to cut down on the 'N' word.
But it is what it is...


Why name my blog WORD?
Well-- because for one, its the most used phrase in my vocab, and 2-- WORD dates back to b4 i was born. Being used as a Statement, Question, Description of something, Reaction, or simply said when theres NO reaction at all.

WORD?
WORD.
SAY WORD?!

lol.
You get my drift.

As we get deeper into my world (this bloq), you'll learn more and more about me. Through my words, which i use to communicate w. the outsiders that are, of cousre, not inside of me (Pause).
Just the way i THINK is retarded-- and my ideas for this bloq are SICK.

Whether you enjoy it or not though--- this shall be some real, raw, hilarious, any and everything you can think of shit.
These are words coming from a full time English Communications, 19 year old, Brooklyn born, Hispanic Black girl.

Subject to change-- cuz everyday i learn something new about myself.
I mean, like-- who really stays the same anyway?


The Kee Kee has began.
Let me rock yo.
