Ask Me Anything! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 At the suggestion of Charlie, the genius behind , I'm gonna open the floor for some questions from readers. I will answer anything at all and I'll answer most things truthfully. I can tell you where to get the best "curry out" Sweet and Sour Shrimp and the cheapest booze, where to get the best incense and oils, the best club to smack a dude in the face, Dynasty-style.....or I can clear up any questions about who I am, my pending divorce, where you can send donations to the Sister Toldja Is Poor fund. I can give you some advice on who to ask for advice if you don't want my advice. Whatever. Let me serve you.
The Truth About Toldja 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I opened up the floor for reader questions in my last post. Here's what I got:Hassan asked:"I know that you got some things going on but, what exactly is your 1 year plan?Whatchudooing? How? Where? Why? "Dad, is that you? If you gonna ask questions like my parents, I'ma need YOU to send me 50 bucks and a bottle of viatmins too! God willing, I'll be teaching elementary or middle school either in DC or NYC. Unless I find something else I want to do. "No Child Left Behind" cost me my last teaching job, so I had to get some qualifications down before getting back in the classroom. Why teach? 'Cause I love children and I love helping them fulfil their potential. I won't be a life teacher, but after being ripped out the classroom in October, I have a need to go and do a complete year or two and to get the kind of relationship I had with my old students with a new group. Thanks for making me cry, by the way.Jerzeygirl asked: So what do you plan on doing for the game this weekend? I ha Read more:Truth
Weekend Wrap-Up 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My team can beat your team's ass, and if they are in the NFC, we probably did! Congrats to Daaaaaa BEARS! Even though the sight of Lovie Smith's hideous wife almost ruined my joy. Seems that he and James Brown (RIP) trolled the same smarmy ass bars. Yuck. My diet is killing me. See, I have been really focused on my get-right plan for '07: less sweets, less junk, more excercise and water. But, I had to grapple with the fact that alcohol has a ton of calories. So I had a serious sacrifice to make....and I chose to sacrifice food. The less I eat, the more calories I have for that which actually sustains me: cheap booze. But this is a hard battle to fight.Case in point: I went clubbing and drinking on an empty stomach this past Friday. I didn't MEAN to go all day without eating, but I didn't get around to it. So after chugging down a strong (and huge)vodka cranberry before the club, I had a Zombie in the club. Then some dude bumped in to me and spilled about a third of it on my dress. Read more:Weekend
Paging Ralph Tresvant 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Last night I participated in a weekly discussion about issues that affect Black men and women and our ability to have relationships that don't end in divorce. The topic was "Committment", but of course we ended up going all over the place. Good times. Anyway, I made a long comment (more like a speech) about how most Black men ain't shit, some are and a few are even the shit, but that they all have the infintite potential to be the latter; I went on to say that most brothers are unwitting misogynists, and if they were truly serious about addressing the issues within the community they would need to start with their hatred of women. Of course, there was a firestorm of rebuttals from the menfolk. One brother said that he was personaly offended by what I said, because he's a good man, yada, yada, yada. So I asked him, if he knew he was doing things the way he's supposed to, why was he offended by my words, "Why are you being so sensitive?"The room exploded.I was accused of basically ca Read more:Ralph

Case In Point: 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So, as some of you may know, I host this blog in two locations: here and on Myspace. While I prefer this spot, for aesthetic reasons and because non-Myspacers can't comment on the other one, it is the Myspace one that has yielded me the most readers and subscribers. Usually, I post the same thing in both places ,with a few rare exceptions. Yesterday, I published the same piece about the "sensitivity" incident on both blogs. However, I recieved a VERY different response than what I got over here. Bear in mind that he has access to my Myspace page, so he has seen what I look like. And, I won't lie, I have posted some "at the club" shots:what the hell r u talkin about?.....why is this just black men? Did u know that from 2000 to 2006 Caucasian men were at the top of the divorce statistics...followed by Asians..Hispanics..then Afro Americans!!!...I bet you didnt know that!!! I cant agree with your "black men aint shit" theory! Why is it always BLACK woman who say black men aint shit...
Back To The 1990s... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Remember a few months ago, when it seemed all of my posts were about silly stuff, like my hatred of Ikea and my favorite New Jack Swing groups? I think it is time to go back there. I'm taking a break from the revolution. But first: two things happened today that put me in a very sad mood. First, there were three kitties that lived outside my apartment complex when I moved in; they looked to be a mommy and her two babies. Well, for the past couple months, I have only seen the mommy and one baby. The cats are so pretty, I can imagine someone wanting one, so I hoped for the best. I would have taken one in myself, but I didn't want to break up the family. Sadly, today I saw one of the kitties dead in the street. I didn't look long, but it appeared to be the mother. I know some of y'all are thinking "what the hell", but I really like cats and these three were so cute. They used to sleep under my car, without fail, every day and I would have to check carefully before leaving because they
Cheaters 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Another night at the local watering hole: it was me, one of my best friends and another homeboy. We're chillin', talking smack and drinking when one of the guys sees a girl he finds attractive. The problem: she's with her boyfriend. The bigger problem: my guy does not care and continues to flirt with her. The worse part: she not only returns the flirting, but accepts my friends number.From the moment we realized she had a man, my night went downhill. I was exposed to the effects of cheating at an early age; I know firsthand how big an impact infidelity can have on people: the cheater, the cheated, friends and family alike. Now no one was married and my friend is young and feeling himself real hard right now. The lady realized he was making a play for her early on and more than encouraged his efforts. When her man went to the bathroom, she took the dude's number. Her boyfriend had this sweet, infectious smile; he chatted us up and it was apparent how happy he was to have his girl th Read more:Cheaters
Girls Can't Do It, Too? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I swear, the next post will be funny! But I had to do this today.... Today I heard a song by Betty Wright that was new to me. I found the lyrics to be highly....interesting, and I Googled them when I got home. The song is called "Girls
Can't Do What The Guys Do" and she recorded it when she was 15 years old. Here's a sample of what she had to say:The guys are gonna wanderGo out and play some timesBut girls you must not let it get you downJust take this advice I give you just like a mother....Don't try to do the things that the guys do/CHORUS:Girls you can't do what the guys do, noAnd still be a lady....And listen girls, when you give your heart awayYou can easily be hurtAnd the least little wrong he doesAlways seems like dirt....When you put your faith in one guySometimes he'll make you happysometimes he'll make you cryBut don't lose your self-respectTrying to get revengeCause no matter how you do itYou'll lose it in the endCause girls you can't do what the guys do, noAnd sti
The Love-Hate List: Drop Squad Edition 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So some folks just outright deserve to be on my Hate List: Ices T and Cube, 50 Cent and Taye Diggs have all had the dubious distinction of being so hateworty, I'd hesitate to spit on them were they on fire. But other folks exist in a more gray area. I can't quite hate them, but they aren't nearly worthy of my love in full. These are the people I would like to go Drop Squad

No, No, No, Part III 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Has everyone seen the new Disney campaign, featuring Beyonce? This is a beautiful picture. She can't act worth a damn, but the camera loves this girl and she knows how to work it.And here's why I hate about it-See, I don't think Beyonce is qualified to be the American Sweetheart. Sure, she's beautiful as the day is long. She can sing her face. She seems like a genuinely sweet girl , which is no surprise because she comes from a such charming family. BUT, did people forget the BET Awards of 2005? Yeah, that's Alice of Wonderland fame giving a hellafied lap-dance to Terrance "Slickback" Howard, as her girl to the left worked it out on Nelly and God's daughter gave new life to Magic Johnson on the right. It was a classy affair.Then there is her music and videos. I'm sorry, but little girls don't need to be looking at Beyonce. She's a doll in Dreamgirls (except for the man-stealing thing) but when she's performing it's hips and tits and thighs, oh my. Not suitable for children.A

He's A Bad Man, Chapter 1 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We shoulda seen this coming a looooong time ago.This album cover is a smack in the face to...to anyone who wishes to keep underaged girls out of the bed of dirty old men. Aaliyah was 14 at the time. She's chilling with those dark glasses and big clothes hiding her youthful appearance. Meanwhile, dude is chilling in the back, with the straight-up "soon as yo' momma walk away, I'm grabbin' that ass" look. AND THE ALBUM IS CALLED "AGE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER"!!!! Kelly was rumoured for years to have a thing for underaged girls. The rumors came to head at the early part of the century, when the famous sex tape was released. Charges were finally filed against Kelly. The State of Illinois has completely dropped the ball on this case. It was supposed to go to trial years ago. Florida had a case as well, but all TWELVE charges of possession of child pornography (pics of him, an adult woman and an underaged girl in sexual situations) were on a technicality. So what about the court of p Read more:Chapter
He's A Bad Man, Chapter 2 1970-01-01 00:59:59 *Mounts soapbox*Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen and ladies. Welcome to the trial of Robert Kelly. As the states of Illinois and Florida have proved themselves incapable of trying Kelly, despite overwhelming evidence (read: as motherfuckas in IL and FL are on the Kelly payroll), I have taken upon myself to see justice done. As Kelly has made a major resurgence on Urban radio, I think it is time that he is properly judged in the Court of Public Opinion. I will do my best to give Mr. Kelly the fair trial he deserves.The State of Mine vs. Dude Who Pissed On A Child And Taped It Robert Kelly Opening Arguement-Prosecution: In 1991, R. Kelly & Public Announcement released the record Born Into The 90s. They were a modest hit nationwide, but they weren't as big anywhere else as they were in their hometown: Chicago. Kelly should have graduated from Kenwood Academy in approximately 1985. But he dropped out.I have two eyewitnesses (my sister and my friend's sister, both Kenwood c/o 1993) who rep Read more:Chapter
7-11's Are Stupid 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This place makes Ikea look like Utopia: Okay, so I forgot to pay my rent until yesterday night, after buisness hours. Now rent is due on the 5th, but I know that so long as you get the payment in the drop box before the open of the rental office on the 6th, no problemo. Problemo: I'm out of checks. No biggie, I threw on some clothes and headed a few blocks up to 7-11. They have a V-Com machine, which has a Citibank ATM, Western Union Money Tranfer, Check Cashing, Money Orders...it's a broke person's business office, essentially. Great, the ATM is out of cash.Fine, so I drive to the next 7-11. All the cash I need.But they don't have a V-Com machine. Just an ATM.Whatever. I go to the OTHER 7-11, which I didn't even realize I passed on my way to the last one. No machine either. Fine, back to the first 7-11. It's on the way to the house anyway. No money orders (PUT A GATDAMN SIGN ON THE DOOR!).So then I go to 7-11 number FOUR! And I'm still in my neighborhood. At least, I think. I' Read more:Stupid
This Little Life Of Mine. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today, the maintenence man came to fix my toilet for the third time since I moved in my apartment in September. The first time, I was here and the guy told me I needed to buy a plunger. "For what?" I thought (foolishly), "I'm not a plumber."Dumb-ass. The second time, I wasn't here and he left me a note: "You need a plunger." Still, I refused.The third time, I guess he diagnosed my problem. This man needs to find a new job, because he refuses to actually fix my toilet. I came home to a note today that read "Flush, wipe and then flush again." If you don't get that right away, don't feel bad. I didn't laugh until I read it the third time. Dude is saying I use too much toilet paper. That's not even true. I use a modest amount, plus my excretions consist of lavender water and dried flowers. Smart-ass. Soooo, would I be a bad person if I let a 19-year-old take me on a date, simply because I haven't been on a date in a while? We can indulge the "-etto" in my "boughetto" and go to Olive
She's Gone? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 *This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh.*Anyone who knew me my freshman year in college knew that everything stopped when the Anna Nicole Smith show came on. No homework, no homegirls. If you was calling, you better have been doing so to talk about what she was doing. Otherwise, you needed to wait. In agreeance with something Kathy Griffin once said, I liked Anna thin and I liked her big, liked her lifted and liked her sober. Anna was my girl. I know you may be thinking, "What the hell would a Black power feminist like so much about a White ex-Playboy model with some serious substance issues?"I can't quite call it myself, but the question brings to mind something I said about a former classmate. Upon meeting her, I was charmed and declared her to be "a beautiful mess". The View's Joy Behar has an interesting theory as to why the public is so facinated with the late model: "No question, she was beautiful. We know people like to watch dysfunction. But beauty gives you something

So Sick 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hello blog friends! I am sorry to have gone a few days without posting, but I have a dreadful cold. I'm talking fever, sneezing and the most painful coughing I have ever experienced. I started feeling sickish on Sunday, and today I was confined to the house, dying in a pool of my own sweat, until I made a late night ginger ale and soup run. I'm not quite lucid enough to engage any topic seriously, but I didn't want to go too long without posting something. Here are a few random thoughts from my sick bed:- I hate canned soup. There are only about four vegetarian varities anyway, and they are all craptastic. If I were in Chicago, I would be eating the worlds tastiest lentil soup, courtesy of The Nile Restauraunt, or the also very tasty variety served at Cedars Of Lebanon. But instead, I'm poking at a bowl of horrible Progresso lentil soup; fuckery at it's best. Hot sauce can't save it.- Speaking of hot sauce, is it true that only Black people load their food down with it? I'm not
I'm Back, For Real! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hi blog readers! *Big hug*I'm finally healthy(ish) and back to the task of entertaining you folks with my bizarre life. I'll do my best not to take a long hiatus again, but I do suggest that y'all subscribe (put your e-mail in the box on the right), so you don't have to come back and check for updates. You'll already know. Here are a few little anecdotes from my absence:No More Locals: I gave my phone number to this young dude, who was straight-UP DC. Shoulda known better, but I wanted a hood-ass Olive Garden date! Those are fun once in a while. Anyway, we spoke once and I decided not to call him back. Call me bougie, but a dude WITH a GED is one thing, and a dude GETTING his GED is a whole 'nother. A few days later, the guy called me again. I didn't recognize the number.Me: Who is this?GED Local: Who is this?!?! What you mean 'who is this'?!?!Me: Who IS this?GED Local: What the FUCK?!? *Slams down phone*Wiggin' Out: I'm still a tad Dreamgirls-obsessed, but now my passion ha
What, What The F&$k?!?!? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok, so this video has been making it's rounds all around the internets, so I initially felt no need to post it here. But I just can't get it out of my head.I am of course speaking about Samwell's "What, What (In The Butt)"(Not suitable for work, children and most of the states south of the Mason/Dixon line.)My thoughts:-WHAT THE FUCK?-This is the funniest thing I ever seen.-Is he from Europe? He has to be. This doesn't seem remotely American. Well, aside from the tacky raunch factor.-He has great diction.-What kind of moisturizer does he use?-LMAO! LMAOOOOOOO!-"I'm delicate like a flower".-Damn, he looks JUST like Isaiah Washington with those sunglasses. -"What, what/Oooo-kay"This video is so ridiculous, I wasn't sure if this was a joke or not. It reminds me of Ace of Base and Aqua (Barbie Girl). Inevitably, this video will be the center of some idiot's "Why The Gays Can't Marry/Adopt/Die In Oil Wars" arguement. I hope that someone will remind them of the large canon of raunchy
The Beyonce Conspiracy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Something about Beyonce
Knowles has never sat well with me. She's a beautiful girl. She's got a great voice. Yet, I've never liked her. Why is that? Of course, there are the crazy parents, the "D-Boy" boo, the disgruntled ex-Destiny's Child members and the dreadful acting. But something else rubs me the wrong way about Miss Knowles. Something I could not put my finger on. Until now.Beyonce wants to enslave your children.Walk with me now. Let's look at the woman's lyrics. Ever since the Destiny's Child days, this woman has spit some of the mind fuckingly dumbest lines ever written. And she has always taken great pride in letting the world know that she writes much of her material. Remember Destiny's Child's first single, "No, No, No":You be saying no, no, no, no, noWhen it's really yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yesYou be saying no, no, no, no, noWhen it's really yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"You be saying"?!? You don't SING that! R&B songs usually have better grammar! And what a c Read more:Conspiracy
A Brief Childhood Anecdote 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hello friends. I don't have anything new to report, and I'm still pissed about the blog you should have read yesterday, which I accidentally deleted. I don't have the heart to re-type it now, so I'll turn to the Baby Toldja archives yet again.Picture this: Chicago, 1987. My early memories of my father involve him always bearing gifts. My parents split when I was quite young, and it always seemed that Daddy time meant something new and shiny and a trip out to eat. I wish he'd kept that up forever. Anyway, I was in pre-school and Daddy had brought me a whole purple outfit: a shirt, cullottes, barrettes and a pair of those plastic pretend high-heels little girls love. I was too hot to trot!I was able to wear the clothing to school, but of course the heels were only for wearing in the house. I decided to sneak them in my bookbag one day, and as soon as my mother left (after I finished crying; I cried every single day when my mother left, even though I loved school. That's a story for Read more:Brief

Sister Toldja's Series Of Unfortunate Events 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Lemony Snickets! I have been having a run of bad luck as of late. -Last week, I had a dreadful cold. Just sweating and sleeping and drinking 'Tussin for days. Like a fool, I decided to hit the streets for Valentine's Day and go to a late night happy hour. I painted a healthy-looking face on and headed outside, only to see about three inches of ICE stuck to the windshields of my car. During the twenty minutes I spent trying to clean it off, I ran over one of my favorite rings, slipped and fell on the ice, cried because I thought I was gonna die of a concussion....only to discover I had a flat tire anyway. The second in three days. -Last night, I was getting ready to get out of the car and come in the house. I dropped my housekey (yeah, it wasn't on a keychain) and it disappeared in my car. I spent an HOUR trying to find it. I called a bunch of friends, none of whom had flashliight ( I have a great one, in the house).

Samuel L. Jackson: Secrets Revealed 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hello people! Did y'all see the Oscars last night? Good shit, right? I'm so happy for Jennifer! I can't wait to see what she does next! Not 100% in love with her dress (though the one she donned for the afterparty was fab), but how exciting was it that Andre Leon Talley dressed her? I would so drink his lavender and vanilla bathwater.The highlight of the night for me was when the shadow puppets made the shape of the "Snakes On A Plane" logo. Talk about a film that was completely shut out by the Academy! I didn't actually see the film, persay, but Samuel

Bad Meets Good? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dig this: as I may have mentioned, I sometimes participate in a weekly conversation about Black romance. Next week's topic is "Good Girls Vs. Bad Girls", following up on the same subject discussed about the opposite sex some weeks ago. When we discussed the men, I VEHEMENTLY declared my abhorrence for "bad boys'. How many college educated women have I heard saying they want a man with "thug appeal". Yuck Mcfuck, I can't think of anything more undesireable. But when I think of a "bad girl"....the description kinda fits me. Sorta. Yeah.You may remember a few months ago the post I did, when I declared that my homegirls and I were harlots (simply because I like the word). You may also remember a few weeks ago when a "brother" called me a 'pot-heat, promiscuous, alcoholic party girl' (not that I'm holding a grudge). The latter is not true by far, and the former was said in jest. But I know I fit a profile that I hear a lot of men say they don't like. I'm getting lifted, just like th
SHUT UP! 2007-03-02 16:48:00 I dont usually feel the need to say much when someone I disagree with comments on my blogs. But this is one of those occasions that forces me to stand up and respond. I have had a few comments about my "Beyonce Conspiracy" that are so pro-Bey, you would think the writer was on salary. Here is the latest oneThat was nothing but absolute hate-ism ("Hate-ism"? Damn, she got you.)to the tenth degree! Beyonce' uses a lot of metaphors and slang. So what? Who doesn't? The no talented, non-descript hater who wrote this in her blog (and not in a real editorial I might add for fear that she should be challenged on a higher level by people who really know Beyonce') needs to stop worrying about B and her award winning lyrics, acclaimed, platinum selling Cd's, millionaire boyfriend, close-knit family, successful business ventures and flawless appearance and get her own life. Who is she?(I'm Sister Toldja, fool. You can't read?) What has she ever accomplished? How has she helped make this wor
Wish Upon A Star 2007-03-05 20:45:00 Hello friends! This weekend was kinda nuts, didn't mean to go without posting. My bad luck continues, as I lost my phone at the Share. I called the asshole who found it a bunch of times, and they kept sending me to voicemail that night. I left the phone on until this morning, so I could get voicemails. The phone jacker got a hold of a charger today, which I could see when they turned on the phone and it signed me in to my AOL Instant Messager. They had about 20 minutes of fun before I made it to the T-Mobile store to get it cut off. In the intrest of saving money, the days of my cute magenta Razr are gone and I ended up with an ugly little brown phone. It looked cute on the internet, but I saw it in the store today and it is not the hotness. Oh well, at least I have that My Faves plan now, where I get unlimited calls to five people. I think just having unlimited calls to my mom would change my bill totally anyway. Who do you think the most confident people in the world are? Think abou
But, Do Buddies Get Free Drinks? 2007-03-06 06:25:00 (Aww, look at me posting two days in a row. Just like back in the good old days.

Doesn't Work With Me: DC/MD/VA cats, stop driving so close to me that I can't see your headlights, in order to get me to speed up. I will NOT be punked in to driving the way YOU want me to. If I'm going a little slow, please believe there is a reason, 'cause I am not a timid driver. It may be that I am feeling a bit nervous; this happens to me on the Beltway sometimes (more on that monstrosity some other time). Or I may be lost. Either way, if you see me creepin', please heed your options: go with the flow, change lanes and/or kiss my ass. And remember- if you hit me from the back, not only are you liable for the damages, you may get an eye jammie.It Don't Work For Her, But It Suits Me Fine!
