Feedback

If you read this blog, by ALL means, COMMENT ON THE POSTS! I like feedback... Well... About that... 2 things.

First... When I was in still in San Francisco, I kept my blog on Myspace (those would be the posts between April 2006 and August 2006, if you want to look...). I didn't think anyone really paid attention to me but then people would see me on campus and talk to me about my posts. Everyone at my job read them. Everyone I knew was reading my posts and wanted to talk to me about them. It was really weird to me. It was the first time in ALL the time I have been keeping this blog that I was writing for other people instead of just venting. I mean... I still vented. But instead of my thoughts flowing and going nowhere, I would confess a crush on a dude and then the next day FIFTEEN people would be in my face teasing me or some shit like that. I wasn't ready for it. I wasn't prepared for it... I thought I didn't want feedback like that so I stopped Myspace blogging and went where I thought no one would find my blog. BUT I do want feedback. Since then, since I returned to blogging, I have realized that bouncing ideas off people actually helps me. I don't mind people talking to me about what I write, personally or otherwise. I would love people to comment at the bottom. I like discourse.

However -- and this is my second point -- I don't want you grandstanding on my junk. I don't want your response to be some kind of platform for some nonsensical bs. I don't mind disagreement, but unless you're directly responding to what I posted, your response shouldn't be longer than my post. For example, if I post about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, your response should be about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. You shouldn't put up a post form your own blog in my comments. And, shit... if you do that... the post shouldn't be about something else entirely. It may seem selfish, but if anybody is gonna be on some other shit on Nicole be Thinking... it's gonna be Nicole. BUT! I DO love other bloggers and I will link to other posts. There is a place for sharing. My comments box is NOT that place.

OK... all that said, please comment on my post if you read. If you see me out somewhere and you wanna talk, I LOVE to talk. Don't be a stranger! =]

I Love a Good Conspiracy Theory

OK… So… A lot of this is repetitive (and that's actually important…) so I'm not going to go over everything about all these folks. You can read the bulk of it at the source sites. There are quite a few sites out there that say that Beyonce and others are possessed by the devil. It's actually a really interesting way to waste some time if you have it. But maybe that's just me since… I love a good conspiracy theory. I'm not here to debunk all this stuff. I just think some of it is simply wrong. Or… aimed at the wrong person. Or… conclusions based on shit that can't be considered evidence. Let's look, shall we... Alright... vigilantcitizen.com starts their analysis of Beyonce by saying Along with her new album, Beyonce has presented her fans to a new alter-ego named Sasha Fierce. The singer affirms that this new persona is the fun, more sexual and more aggressive side of her. This is however the “general public” version of the story. The esoteric meaning r...

Facebook Stalking...

Officially, I'm hibernating right now. I don't really want to connect on Facebook or Twitter right now. However… from time to time, I'm bored and reading that stuff is still mildly amusing… A couple things I noticed while tip toeing around Facebook: A lot of these "friendships" are super manufactured past the point of being fake. They simply don't exist. There are people I'm friends with on Facebook that I don’t want to be bothered with in life. Am I afraid to delete them? Perhaps… Well… I deleted a bunch of them just a moment ago. (Part of my hibernation is purging…) But… why even bother to begin with? Having said that… I discovered that I'm NOT friends with some people I should be. I'm missing out on some connections. A while ago, I deleted EVERYONE while in an angry "fuck friendship" mood. I'm STILL re-adding and re-discovering people from that episode… If it makes you feel...

T.I. Released from Prison... Early

Niggas are going to hate me for sure for this post… (If they don't already…) I don't care… This is unbelievable. Well… stranger things have happened. But… T.I. was released from prison after spending 7 months there on gun charges. I like T.I.'s music and ATL was a good movie and I definitely plan to see Takers . Nothing against him personally. I don't think he's a bad person. HOWEVER. Dude is a 7-time felon who violated his probation by purchasing assault weapons and silencers. He spent SEVEN frickin months in jail. For that . OK. He didn't use the guns. Ok. He thought his life was in danger. Ok. He's turning his life around. All that is awesome for T.I. But what about the frickin justice system? Are we REALLY saying it's ok for a 7-time felon to get away with illegal shit just because he's a good rapper? Bernie Madoff got 150 years in prison for getting rich off of scamming rich people but T.I. got 7 months for buying life-threatening weapons...
