Anais Nin: You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

New York, J'taime..I think



This picture reminds me of everything I remember about NYC. The Grit... The Grime... The Glamour... All on a smorgasbord of concrete and bedrock.


By The Way, my next post will be a blockbuster anniversary extravaganza!! It's my 100th blog post and also the first episode of the new season of my radio show so you will first, see pics/videos of my trip to NYC, videos from my coverage of Detroit Fashion Week and you will also hear my radio show!! Yayeee!!! I can't wait. So therefore it will be an Extra Special Episode of The Ticketed Experience.

What I'm Wearing....hopefully

So D.A.M. Magazine (You know, the magazine I write for?) is throwing a fashion show in August in Times Square...Yes, that mean's this place

Le Facade, D.A.M. Magazine's fashion show, will feature designs by fashion designers, Sohung Designs and ODP Couture. Yours truly has had the pleasure of interviewing them personally. Sooooo... since I'm currently the fashion section's feature writer, It would be nice of me to come since I've never actually met the people I've been writing for these past (Nov..dec..jan...feb....) eight months.

Did You Know?.....DJ CagedBird has never been to New York.

WHAAAAT?!!!!

::Looks Around::
shhhh!!

I know! I know! Don't get your panties all in a bunch!!

No, I've never been. Although, sometimes, I think that's why I didn't get that coveted mark. College Program Internship position. I mean my interview was virtually flawless except for when I gave her the " 'Oh No She Didn't!' Forbidden Answer" to the Top Most Sacred of Fashionista Questions: Have you ever been to New York?

My answer: "Uh...well no I haven't.....b-b-but I am VERY GOOD with directions and getting around the city will most definitely not be a problem." (It wasn't exactly a lie.)

Enough of your judgemental eyes! Anyway I am going to need to grace the big apple with my presence in top form and fabulosity, which means I will need to go shopping. And no, not a regular, "I don't know what I'm looking for" shopping trip. It has to be THE SHOPPING TRIP TO TOP ALL SHOPPING TRIPS.
[Epic music starts to play]
[Birds start to fly off]

My dad suggested that I arrive a few days early to go shopping which is a smart idea, but I need money. Another thing is, where am I going to get this money? I live in the WORST STATE in the country. I have been trying to find a job for the past 4 years. I absolutely HATE depending on other people for money, which is why my main goal for the trip was for it to be funded entirely from my own hard earned money( Which you bet your sweet ass I was going to bust my butt for)... But it seems the heavens have something on the contrary planned for me as my tireless efforts to find a job have been trounced by constant reporting of the national unemployment rate which is currently 9.4%, and in Michigan the current rate is 12.9%. You tell me the chance that I will be able to find a job.

Don't even get me started on my search for an apartment, which comes a mighty close ass second to the job search goal.

Anyways....

I need to start thinking about what I'm going to wear to the fashion show. Recently, I've been looking through the pages of fashion magazines and fashion books to compose a set of ideal looks I want to incorporate into my wardrobe. Most of these clothes will be new. Some of them will follow trends. Others may not.

That also means I will need to find some money to buy these clothes. ::sigh:: amid frantically searching for a new apartment.

You know...
It's times like this when people tell me I'm trying to do too much. I just ignore those people. I have too much living to do in life.

This concludes Part One of this four part blog post.

Coming Soon to (hopefully) an Apple Computer near you:

Can DJ_CagedBird resolve all of her problems before her anticipated trip to N.Y.C.? Or will all of her hopes and wished be trounced?

Which will she find first? An Apartment or A Job?



Will she be able to pull it off?


Catch the answer to these questions and more when you tune in next time to
"What I'm Wearing... hopefully"

Sex is on everyone's minds.... EVERYWHERE, ALL-THE-TIME

I spoke to Ms. Innovative about this topic because she loves, as she puts it "To F**."
What about sex do you enjoy?
Okay.... See there's two OR three parts I enjoy and it depends on who I'm with at that particular time. First reason, I like to do this with all ma n***z I'm with, cos I like to fu** with their heads - you know like when you riding them and you stop and you start squeezing your muscles and you looking at em. You know that song by plies...I cant remember which one.....but he like all he can say is "OooO" you know what I'm talkin bout
Second, My ass gets sick of masturbating........ Yeah I said it!!!! "I MASTURBATE" and yeah I get sick of it!!
Third reason I like to f*** is cos' If I'm in love with the person, its a good way to express how I feel about you and, you know there can be a whole 'nother connection, that's when it stops being f**ing and you start making love.
And lastly shit its just plain fun and not to mention, you lose calories!

Ok so, what's your favorite position?
Again it depends. now if were in those slow love making type moods, missionary all the way.
now, if if were f***ing then i like it from the back and if I feel like being in charge, I'm in top all day!!!

Worst thing to say during sex...

The worst thing a ni** said during sex is "I love you....."

{I give her a look}
See, don't give me that look now, the reason why it was the worst thing to say during sex was because he didn't love me! We were just f***ing!!!!

But, so what if it turned him on to say I love you kinda like um..." Bitch ooh this feels good doesn't it?!"

What u mean so like if he's talking to me dirty?

Yeah
Well if thats the case then he's going to be shit out of luck!!!

You're mean!!!

Any last remarks about sex?
Why you're done? I had more questions and answers n shit

Awww....

(Thinks for a second) Be safe and smart......(thinks).... and think before you act......cos you'll end up like me... have someone taking you back to their place for a one night stand and you'll f*** around and leave your favorite thong... and he will start stalking your ass...

{I give her another look}
(She gives me one back)... yeah... it's happened.

Santogold ::::::Robyn::::If you didn't know, Now you know...


This woman is the best thing to grace multiple genres in a long time.

SANTOGOLD  has a sound that makes you want to just...chill and relax with some friends. Mannnn...ive been digging her since i heard "Switch and Graeme You'll Find A Way remix" on Ali Madigan( Ke*sh's home girl)'s myspace profile.

Anywhoo, the girl is the ISH... every track gets me pumped and i'm pretty sure if you got dressed to go or party while listening to this, you'd get pumped too.

She inspires me so much. UGH!!!!! I LOVE THIS GIRL!!

She makes me want to go out and party/gives me enough energy to redo my entire wardrobe. FAREAL. 

I BE ALL INSPIRED WHEN I ARROW HER MUSICA
SANTOGOLD gets 8.7 out of 10

Next,
ROBYN






















This bad mamajama is another pop sensation that i think should not be slept on. 


Robyn aka Robin Mirriam Carlsson hails from Stockholm, Sweeden. If you listen to her album closer you can hear her airy, beautiful crispy accent. Her swagger makes me want to go out and flaunt my inner Man-eater-ness. She spits, sings and croons with the sort of swagger you'd never expect from ...er... Sweeden.
