Who run the world?…

GIRLS…As if you had to ask? But if you did, Beyonce is here to remind you with her new anthem “Who Run the World (Girls).” To be honest when I first heard this song on the radio*I wasn’t too excited, and wondered if this was a poor choice on Bey’s part. I legitimately thought we had another GaGa situation* on our hands, thankfully I was wrong. This song is hella-infectious, and I should of known that I would have  it on repeat as it contains the lyrics “Boy you know you love it, how I’m smart enough to make ‘dem millions, strong enough to bare ‘dem children, then get back to business.” This is the phrase I’m going to whisper into my husband’s ear, whenever he questions my ambition. Bahahah, just kidding, he would never question it, but I’ll whisper it to him anyway, just for kicks.

Anyway, Beyonce debuted the music video for “Who Run the World” last night and it does not disappoint. All I’m going to say is that it is the definition of fierce, the clothes are to die for (there is a gold dress with gold heels that I want…I’ve got no place to wear it, but I’ll be content just putting it on to watch Conan) and the moves are worth learning…which means I definitely will. It will be “Single Ladies”* all over again.

Here’s the video, you’re welcome!

Radio-Yes I still listen to the radio, sometimes I’ll go for a drive just to listen in the car…jk, the price of gas is ridiculous, I’ll usually park somewhere and listen.

Gaga Situation- You know what I mean, her current album is a bit of a disappointment. Don’t get me wrong I love “Judas” but everything else just feels done before…by you know, Madonna. The current songs, atleast for me, don’t seem to have the same bite that “Just Dance,” “Love Game,” and “Paparazzi” have. Also, Lady, could you try something weird and give ago at dressing normally? Trust me the shock value of seeing you not covered in lace/meat/leather/feathers will blow people away. I’m not a hater, I just know you could be so much more, and that more may mean doing less.

Single Ladies- Once upon a time I may or may not have performed “Single Ladies” at a church talent show. Trust me, it was awesome. So no need to search for the video, just take my word for it.

Obama raps

Well not actually…but after FLOTUS busted a move* to Beyonce anything is possible. Anyway someone spoofed the POTUS spittin’ rhymes about his Bin Laden Win…its guaranteed to make your Friday, promise.  

FLOTUS busted a move: if you missed it see it here:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/03/michelle-obama-dances-the-dougie_n_857207.html

Finally, I know this week has been all about the Obamas, who are otherwise known as PO & FLO. Politics aside ( but I’m pretty sure you know who I voted for in 2008)I think they are great role models, not just for young  people who identify as black ( I’m feeling very P.C. this a.m.) but for everyone…they are smart, successful, appear to have a strong relationship, and love their kids, and are killing it (atleast at the moment)* in their current jobs. What’s not to admire/ aspire to be?

killing it (atleast at the moment)- Some may ask, “Kdub, was it neccessary to write, ‘atleast at the moment,’ its like your trying to dull their shine.” Here’s whats up while he is currently “winning,” the tide can easily turn…not that I want it to, but he’s not perfect.

POTUS is hilarious! And other thoughts on the 2011 White House Correspondent’s Dinner

Watching the some clips from the White House Correspondent’s dinner, and totally sad that I did not tune into the actual broadcast last night ( I may or may not have fallen asleep at 10:30…25 What have you done to me???) It is legitimately funnier than the last  5 Saturday Night Live episodes. LEGITIMATELY. POTUS* was on a role last night, making jabs at the birthers*, the movie stars who are disappointed in him ( he straight up dissed Matt Damon), all the GOP candidates running for the presidential bid an even making a jab at Biden…have I told you that I have a little crush on old Joe…I do. I really do. POTUS also released his birth video. Disney may or may not have produced it.

Overall the whole evening is pretty entertaining. I have to admit I had mixed feelings watching POTUS be so funny. Part of me was like, “DUDE*  you have a country to run, and not everything you do is gold (i.e. your stance on Libya), why are you making jokes?” The other part of me is like, “This man’s got a stressful job, he has aged 10 years after only being in office for 3, and people still think he actually wasn’t born in America…K-dub,let the man tell some DAMN jokes!”  Make your jokes POTUS, you have earned it.

Here is a clip of POTUS’ speech

*POTUS- President of the United States…It makes me giggle everytime I say it, that and FLOTUS, First Lady of the United States…POTUS & FLOTUS…say it out loud and tell me if it doesn’t make you smile? No please tell me…in the comments 🙂 On a different note do you not just love how in love POTUS & FLOTUS are…or PO & FLO as I will now affectionately refer to them (leave it to me to make a nickname out of a nickname, I have a gift). Their love really makes them endearing.

*DUDE- I really would like to believe that I would never call POTUS “Dude” to his face…but you know me, it could very well happen.

*Birthers- people (you too Trump) let it go, he was…the END
