...and the plot thickens

Story of my life.

In some ways I believe things are getting better but in other ways things seem downhill. I've purged my room and rid my life of ALL baggage physically/emotionally. Spiritually I do not doubt that I am on the right path. I have never been so happy with my x-ray. Who I'm becoming on the inside is now totally outweighing the outside.

Brittany Patrice Bellinger (ME!) is satisfied with herself. <---damn that statement just sounds powerful. Try it!

I haven't been blogging as much lately for lack of internet and sanity. Being away from twitter and youtube and everything else that takes you away from the moment. I'm rediscovering the sun, ice cream, family, friends, paper, pen and every other little miniscule thing that makes me happy. Its nice.

I promise however to continue to open up on my blog...I mean you never know who this might reach or how it will affect you.

peace! *chucks deuces*

Out of sight, out of mind




Everyone needs a little prayer sometimes. I never claimed to be a highly 'religious' person (pay attention to the word religious) but I am highly spiritual. I happen to know the color of my own light...Thanks to BNV/UW 08!

So I've decided that once a week i would dedicate an entry to a friend that I felt needs a lil more support than I do. In hopes to share stories, prayer and love through the internet. Let's stay positive people.

This week is for my friend Rodney. He's a virgo like me, sweet, kind-hearted, very intelligent but right now is at a place in his life where he is being tested. He wrote to me recently and like always put my feelings before his. Trying to help me write again. So I'm sending all my positive energy & light his way. I hope you'll do the same!

Playing it close,

Getting wavy: We're swag surfing

Chanelle taught me about swag surfing...I'm not sure what to make of it yet but let's get your opinion.

Here's a video of some guy getting it IN! lmao



We even found footage of some men of Phi beta sigma swag surfing in a stroll. Chanelle believes it outdoes the shimmy. *chuckle*



Believe me ppl, we are just covering the basics in this new world of dance. We haven't even touched the west coast yet! Stay tuned for that.

Peace & chicken grease,

Keepin it in the [Stanky] south!

So if you watched the previous video then you would recognize the stanky leg and other southern dances. Apparently what I failed to realize; obviously is that there is an ART to doing the stanky leg! ::GASP::

Now hold that face and imagine how I felt when I stumbled upon THIS homemade tutorial video on stanky leg ettiquette. Smh.



*sigh*
Let's proceed...

Who Datt?? and other mysterious dances...

It all started a few months ago over facebook with a poet named Austin (aka Benn Broox) from the bay who now resides in kentucky at college. I met him last year at Brave New Voices and we kept in contact. He hit me up this particular day to have me watch his new music video on youtube entitled Who datt?

Long story shorter...I did. It was catchy, funny and cute. Entertaining as well. By the end of the song I was singing the hook and it was down hill from there. It opened up a portal into dances from different places I've never heard of.

*scratches head* Huh?! I thought harlem was bad before soulja boy took over the dance craze market but now I realize that this is a phenomenom. So after months of youtube, convos with friends and research I am here to inform YOU on what's going on in the world of dance.

Let's start with the vid that started it all...Who Datt by [my homie] Benn broox.

A Blue review: Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D



It was $6 tuesdays at jamaica multiplex so chanelle and I headed out to check out this movie. We've been dying to see ANY movie in 3D!! Just for a different experience, you know?

Monsters vs Aliens was hilarious!! It's definitely worth the money, matter of fact don't quote me on that. lol. I mean it was worth the $6 i spent! We are both in agreement that its probably because it was in 3D. So go see it! On a tuesday at jamaica multiplex in queens or linden theatres in brooklyn for $6. Make sure its a 3D experience though...

It's like watching the jokes come right at you! ha...And if not for any of the aforementioned reasons then at least go for the super swagged out 3D glasses. We've come a long way from the paper glasses guys. I swear i saw a picture of Kanye rocking these new joints. *smiles*

Laugh it off earthlings,

Recession Report: Part 1



I love political cartoons. They so much without saying...so much. lol. Well I found a "good" one (meaning clever & creative) but I must say the inspiration for it which also sparked the article it was attached to was No bueno.

Basically it was about all the cuts the SUNY/CUNY systems are taking but how the schools themselves are not improving. Not only are they the same mediocre academic atmosphere but we've never actually have gotten all of our funds in the past anyway. Are you serious?!

It's one thing for students to feel the recession, truthfully we all are but is this really going to help in the end?? taking away from the education of our future activists, doctors and computer technicians? Smh.

Thats just something that "grinds my gears" (oh family guy, you slay me!)...Enjoy the political cartoon.

Thats all folks!hehehe
peace & blessings earthlings,
