The Random Reflections of Cornelius D

So I love watching music videos it’s one of my favorite wastes of time, But after enjoying a Wu-Tang video..  Here comes this parody of a commercial about a product called “Booty-Pop” at first im thinking like hey, did I accidently switch to Comedy Central?  I really thought i was watching a Mad TV re-run at first.

But Alas,

I checked the channel, still on MTV Jams. This is not a joke. I couldn’t believe it! Has society become so self conscious of our physical appearance that there is actually a market out there for people willing and able to buy Booty-Pop panties!

Haven’t we had a enough disappointments from the push-up bra? Guys, how many times have you had a girl who you THOUGHT had the most perkiest boobs in the world only to come home and find out her nipples were touching her navel.

Now guys when you at a bar and you checking that girl with the hot buns, you better think twice, because it may be just some padding! I actually want to meet a girl who will want to purchase these panties.. Well on second that maybe not, she probably has low self of esteem and I might hurt her feelings by laughing in her face.

While this rant is getting longer than expected, I will leave you guys with this; It’s funny how African American women was known for they curves for years and most of mainstream America…. (cough cough) white America though bodacious rump (yeah I said it) was undesirable, even after Sir Mix-A-Lot’s smash hit Baby Got Back.

But it took Kim Kardashian to embrace her curves instead of getting a but reduction, for white America to finally realize what most African Americans and Latinos have been enjoying for years. Now because of the most popular Kardashian now everyone wants to have a juicy caboose.

If you haven’t seen this video check it out,  It’s a good laugh.

Another poem of mine. I really should start writing poems again.. what do you think?

One Cup
Two shots
Three beers
Four…
Letting the liquor be my happiness for tonight….
Don’t need your false promises letting me down.
At least I know what I’m getting from this bottle
One night
Two licks
Three women
Four….
Fucking substituted for love.
All this sex… but still
I am alone.
Happiness, liquor, love , sex.
Lines are blurry.
Tried to fill the whole inside but
Instead it swallowed me whole.
I’m drowning..
and
Guns are drawn.
But who to shoot?

I occasionally write poetry. This is one of my favorites I hope you enjoy.

A picture

Everytime I think about you
I feel something annoying growing in my throat
Followed by a salty stream that flows from the side of my face…
And down my chin
And stains a picture of you and me
There was no wet substance coming from my eyes then
Just wide smiles showing all 32 ivory teeth
Between two sets of ebony and pink lips stretched open to
Reflect how our souls were connected.
The picture permeated the smell I use to get when I
Use to hold you
and the scent that came from you
Was something like that of heaven, an angel and love.
I wish I could fold myself over a thousand times…
Break some type of dimension
step into that picture and go back in time
Kiss her, tell her that I love her
And tell her that moving is overrated
And that we should stay still in this position forever
Because I shall never want to lose this feeling again.

I consider myself a fan off all music but my first love is Hip Hop/Rap. Nothing moves me like a good hip-hop song, I know some people still to this day do not even consider it real music. The reason being because most rap artists do not play instruments. People often think that music began with the man made instrument but I disagree, music at it’s very rawest form is a collection of sounds following a rhythmic pattern.

That’s why when I listen to artist compose verses over a sampled production filled with slick metaphors and rhymes, I know it’s one of the greatest forms of music. Even the way a rap artist (the good ones anyway) fluctuates his voice and rate of his words to match the beat rivals instruments played by some of the best musicians. A good example of a great flow would be Notorious B.I.G’s Hypnotize, not his best song but his flow on that song is really something special.

The Future
Now just like Rock n’ Roll went through changes of Metal, the hair bands, punk, grudge etc. I can start to see hip-hop start to make those same changes over time, it’s so hard to imagine the how the genre will sound at all in ten years. Think about it.. do you think big fans of Run DMC or Kurtis Blow could have predicted styles of hip-hop coming from artists like Kid-Cudi, Kanye West and Lil Wayne? I don’t know what hip-hop or rap will sound like in 10 years but I do know one thing, it is here to stay.

For those who love to say hip-hop is dead. I disagree hip-hop is not dead it’s just evolving…. changing..and I am ready to embrace the change! Are you?

Sidenote: I’m really feeling the song Say Something by Timberland feat. Drake/ Drake really did his thing on that song, he is hands down the hottest new rapper out, with him and Niki Minaj getting popular by the minute, Cash Money/Young Money are starting to build an hip hop empire.

Ever wondered why your lady after years of going out still doesn’t like you to see her undress?
Does your lady always feel the need to turn the lights of while having sex?
When you tell your girlfriend that’s she sexy..have she ever gave you that look that your lying?

Or if your a girl reading this, have you ever did or say those things to your significant other?

In past relationships I have encountered these situations far too many times, and I had to think…. Am I just an unlucky guy who dated insecure women…or are the majority of the women out here in the world are HIGHLY insecure about their bodies?

But I cant blame most women for why they feel so insecure about their bodies. When you look at TV or magazines these days.. All you see is women with long hair, flat stomachs, perfect breasts, and nice round asses. And a lot of our women today ARE KILLING themselves just to fit societies image of beauty.

I think today we RELY on letting the TV TELL US what IS and IS NOT beauty.

I have dated plenty of women all beautiful in their own right. But in past relationships I have these ladies often cover up up their bodies in shame, even after I’ve seen them naked more than a few times. Ladies the first step in being SEXY is NOT through a DIET PLAN or a WORKOUT PLAN but it is A STATE OF MIND.

Ladies your not fooling us men…we know you may have a little pudge here or there…and yes we notice those stretch marks. But believe it or not we still think that you are beautiful. The best thing to do with your body is to embrace because it is yours and it’s unique and nobody has a body like you, so appreciate your body for what it is.

There is nothing more UNATTRACTIVE than a woman who is insecure, and acts like she is ashamed of her naked body. If your not proud of your body and find it sexy…they why should we (men)? Women often live in fear that their men will go out and cheat because the next woman may have bigger breast or a flatter stomach…but the reality is, he probably will cheat on you NOT WITH THE WOMAN WITH THE BETTER BODY…but the one with the most confidence.

Ladies what is attractive is a women who is aware that she might not be the next Halle Berry, but she is just as beautiful in her own right. A woman who knows she looks good whether if she’s 300 lbs or 100lbs.
So ladies the next time you look in the mirror…know that you really are not disgusting, fat, and that sexiness is a state of mind, not a body type. There are men who think your beautiful and you should think your beautiful too.

In closing of this Long Post…. I would like to say that I would rather have a confident woman, than a woman with 5,000 dollar breasts. Think about it.
