Don’t think they should be putting a label on it like "Blacks" need it. Every race needs to get HIV Testing. HIV is still prevalent in this world and also still incurable at the moment. I do agree that we need HIV Testing. I agree that we all need it though not just blacks.

I’m late on this but congrats to Barack Obama, his family and his campaign. They fought a long hard battle. Now Hillary needs to job on board and convince her voters to vote for Barack Obama. This is a historic day in the world today. First person of color to be nominated in this white dominated world (People don’t take offense to this but it’s true and we need change). We all know this whether we want to like it or not. Now Barack Obama just has to take down John McCain and take us into the White House!!!
Hmmm… scratching your head wondering what this post possibly could be about? Well don’t it’s just what the title suggests nothing new. Nothing that old either. Just stuck blurred between the lines of what I want this blog to be about. Do I really want it to be a news site "Where Real News Lives" yes! But lets be honest am I really bringing anything new to the table. Some may say yes…others no. But those "some" I just mentioned 8 words ago are the ones that probably were working hard all day, probably a 10 hour shitty shift at work, came home, stumbled on my blog somehow and read some interesting news they missed cause they were stuck at work. All day hearing how there boss wants a certain task done, at a certain time with their rhyme and reason done to it.
If your the "some" I keep referring to it and what I’m writing is true, feel free to leave me a comment. I’m here for you. I know I can’t possibly battle it out with the 500,000 different news sites online. There’s news everywhere you go just like product advertisements EVERYWHERE. It’s scary. What I want you fellow blogger or blog readers to do the 2 or 3 of you that actually read this. I want you to set out one day for yourself, ONE day and count how many possible ads you seen for that one day and touch back with me or just feel mentally satisfied that you did the challenge to see how hard it is to really come up with a new idea or even to compete. Blogging is exactly the same way. Alot of us just remix everyone else’s idea "The Cut and Paste Syndrome" I do it from time to time. I am notorious for the blockquote ailment though. Quoting everything a prominent figure said in the particular news story that was blogged about and I took and spinned it, like it was my news.
This is why I am not new. Just may be new to you for the moment…. If this theory or happening is true then I’m glad to oblige. It is hard to come up with a certain subject or niche and talk about it creatively AND be a effective. Honestly though that is my goal with this news stuff even though I’m still trying to figure how to pull this supposed niche I want to be in off and render it completely believable. Especially with the blockquote ailment. I’ll try, I’ll try. But when it is all said in done this website and blog is about me as well, but I’m not stupid or selfish enough to think it’s me that the reader cares about cause, That it is not! Excuse me for the numerous grammatical errors. Damn I wish I was a book editor or something like. Actually no I don’t….
It’s almost that time again where the weather is hot, women and men out in full force playing match up, air polluted, Trees growing, leaves green, music blasting, car riding, showboating, late nights, dinner dates, long waits, concert dates, drive to concentrate, fool fights, pool nights, good times, bad times, lost time, major sense of accomplishment, family time, nice out door breeze, sports, vacations, and plain old having fun. What a summer it WILL be. All over again. I’ll touch back later.
If anyone is new to blogging and struggling like me. Lorelle.wordpress.com is an excellent source to gain some much needed momentum and ideas for your WordPress blog and also for tips on how to blog, form ideas, monitize your site or blog and find some real purpose, especially if your blog is self hosted. I won’t link to any particular articles Lorelle wrote. There are too many of them to link to.. that I personally find extremely useful and helpful. I just figured I would help anyone who is or has been struggling like me to find a source like (Lorelle) who can help us and yourselves out as well.
Just head over to Lorelle.wordpress.com once again. At least delve into some of the very useful information Lorelle suggests and writes about. She also does many presentations on Wordpress.com and the different ways to help blogger’s out who are not self hosted like myself or others out there who are not self hosted. Even us self hosted folks need help and sometimes even more cause we don’t have the backlinks from Wordpress.com to help drive traffic to are site from within WordPress that has a lot of widgets and plug-ins dedicated to users seeing other users with similar or popular posts within Wordpress.com.
Happy blogging everyone. My advice? Is just to stay committed to it until you other figure out that blogging truly is not for you or until you actually start to drive traffic (Something we all want and strive for tight?).
I been trying to figure out what to do with this site. Mysterygrimms.com and came to the conclusion that I have no idea’s of what to do with this site right now besides blogging. I guess the good part of it is…. That I get to learn and experience blogging more. Lets hope things pick up for me and finally can get a little traffic. I’m trying folks blogging is not easy, and there is tons of tough and farce competition in Internet land.
According to a Boston.com article, The Black Hollywood film community is facing extreme hardship and may be in trouble you can read the article in it’s entirety here.
Mysterygrimms Thoughts: Honestly I’m sick and tired of all the typical black movies that try to cater to blacks through mostly comedic relief or the typical gangster hood movie with no REAL substance. There is tons of talented black, actors, screenwriters, directors, and actresses out there. I also I’m privy to the fact that financing these movies is what the real burden is.
Most black OWNED studios or Independently run black film companies don’t have the deep pockets to cover the film budget that a real film with substance would require. They don’t have the necessary monies or budget that most of the white run studios have like MGM, Paramount, New Line and Universal studios to name a few.
So I’m pretty sure that has a lot to do with the quality of films that do come out in black Hollywood (Low Quality, Low Budget). Tyler Perry is one of the more prominent black film directors and maker of the current black Hollywood who has a pretty good hold on what a black quality film should be (Even those his films tend to be catered to lonely black, church going women with problematic relationships).
Rock Star Games’ controversial Grand Theft Auto IV video game has officially made the Guinness World Records list, after an Huge first week sales figure.
Consumers snatched up 3.6 million units of GTA IV within the first 24 hours of purchase, helping the video game earn $310 million dollars on its first day of release.
The figures make GTA IV the most profitable entertainment release of all time, surpassing records set by other video game, film and book first day releases.
The sales achievement has earned GTA IV the record for Highest Grossing Video Game of all time and within a 24 Hours time frame. It’s also the Highest Revenue Generated Product in 24 Hours history.
According to the record-tracking group, Bungie and Microsoft’s Halo 3 previously held the fastest-selling video game record with $170 million in its previous first 24 hours. Spider-Man 3’s smash box-office debut of $60 million last May held the theatrical movie title, whereas the final book in J.K. Rowling’s kids tale fantasy epic, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, conjured up $220 million in day-one sales.
Mysterygrimms Thoughts: I’m still extra peeved that I don’t own a PS3 or Xbox 360 to play GTA IV yet… sigh……Whatever.
Nelly i’m jealous!! You snatched up my fantasy wife….just kidding i’m married. Anyways.. According to MediaTake’em all out? [Editors Note: MediaTakeOut] Nelly and Ashanti are ready to commit and go public? Really?
MediaTakeOut reports in…
‘We spoke EXCLUSIVELY with a person close to Ashanti who told us all about the couple’s change of heart. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “Ashanti and [Nelly] have been dealing with each other for years, but it was always understood that it wasn’t exclusive … [Nelly] really didn’t want it to be exclusive.”
And according to our insider, it was the lack of exclusivity that had the couple denying the relationship to the public. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, “That wasn’t Ashanti’s man, so she would have looked silly telling the media that they’re together. It was a little complicated, so instead of putting all their business out there, they just refused to talk about it.”
But now, according to the key insider in Ashanti’s camp, things have changed. The tipster told MediaTakeOut.com, “They’re both a lot more mature and they’re both ready to settle down. Plus they’ve known and loved each other since forever … they’re even talking marriage and children.”
And that newly evolved relationship is ready to be revealed to the general public. MediaTakeOut.com has caught wind that the happy couple is going to begin publicly talking about their relationship in the coming weeks.’
According to one of Mariah Carey’s hired help (Assistances) Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are expecting a new toy… I mean JOY called a newborn baby. Yesterday, one of Carey’s assistants called L.A.’s chic baby boutique Petit Tresor to talk about preparing for you guessed a newborn bundle of joy?… Yes joy a BABY! Nick your one lucky dude for really real.
Mariah’s office asked if the store could send fabric samples and if its designers could work with the theme of - you guessed it - butterflies! Word is the Petit crew is sending pictures of the nursery they just finished for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s twins.
Mariah’s manager, Benny Medina, assures the world that the 38-year-old songbird, who wed the 27-year-old Cannon on April 30, is not pregnant YET! Well that she is not pregnant period! I just threw in the YET for added effect. You all catch my drift right?
According NY Daily News Gossip section Three weeks ago, Carey told OK! magazine that she was in no hurry to start a family “because of childhood traumatic stuff.” But since walking down the aisle with Cannon, she said having children is “part of the whole purpose of getting married.”
A friend of the couple tells Them Carey had said she was working on a concept to make Cannon’s L.A. home more comfy for a lady with a whole lot of shoes and dresses. But apparently, she’s also thinking about cribs and changing tables. Her assistant asked if Petit Tresor could shut the store for a private conference next time she’s in L.A.
Mysterygrimms Thoughts: I’m happy for them. Hopefully they’ll work out. Mariah still looks good for turning 40 years old soon though. Shout out to my fellow Aries.
I’m out. I got some more MSNBC to watch and hear these political analysts and experts squawk like parrots about Obama, Clinton, and Mccain.
