Astroworld

I woke this morning in shock to read about 8 dead at the Astroworld Festival. My heart goes out to those families who lost loved ones at the event. 

This is not Astroworld. Not even close.

I’ve been worried about something like this happening during the last couple of festivals because of so many people in attendance. 

But I never if something were to ever happen, that it would be to this extreme - like the homicides and needle injection attacks being reported today.

I grew up going to Astroworld - the real Astroworld. Where dropping your ice cream cone was the worst thing that could happen. 

We never even had metal detectors till a few years prior to shutdown.

Be sweet!

Just a reminder that it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. I've been through it. Here is a look back at an interview with the late Matt Patrick on KTRH.

I think of him today, like I do every day. Here is a look at that day he helped me survive one more day.

DO NOT HIRE Sam West home repair, handyman, in the Houston Heights... Here is why!

My mom needed a small repair in the bathroom at our home. She called a repair man she found in the Leader, a Greater Heights publication, that we get all the time. 

When she called the phone number (713) 582-5500 that in all caps read “WEST SAM” a man name Sam West came to our home right away, which we took as a good sign... to repair a towel rack in my bathroom. A seemingly simple task for a handyman. We even have all the parts.

I was in the next room when my mom walked Sam West (West Sam on your phone) in, and I immediately detected his condescending tone toward my mother. As they continued to talk and exchange in conversation, his tone became more mean, disrespectful and chauvinistic toward her. My mom remained submissive and polite as she talked with him, “just to get the repair done,” she said. 

However, I, an extremely tolerant person, upset and visibly shaken by this man’s treatment, had to interject and ask him to leave only five minutes into his visit. I told him “you don’t talk to my mother that way, with that tone. You’re not gonna stand here and be disrespectful toward my mother when you’re coming to do us a service.”

Sam West or WEST SAM on your phone, is in his late 60’s’ish, white, long dark with light gray blended hair in a foot-long ponytail with multiple rubber bands going down the ponytail. He also has a dark goatee and wears small glasses, is a medium build and very very rude.

Sam West phone: 713-582-5500.

I strongly urge you not to hire this man. He is very rude to women and feels he has doesn’t have to explain anything to someone who “can’t be taught.”

WATCH: Versace Fall-Winter 2021 | Fashion Show

Another example of the most spectacular fashion show editing today.  Runways are so last century. It's all about how to make your fashion show look like a music video. The pandemic has forced every designer to reimagine how to present their line and I'm loving he concepts. To see what it looks like on a model who is allowed to move and pose - even DANCE in the clothes, is what I'm living for right now. To allow models to demonstrate how cool they are and how to take a look to the edge, it so fun to see and worth a full watch for me.

I'm not the biggest fan of the same faces in shows, but seeing Irina Shayk over and over again... never gets boring.

VIDEO: Balmain Fall/Winter 2021 Women's & Men's Show

Time to get your Fall and winter wardrobe together. ...

Timeline: Second Pfizer vaccine is kicking my a$$

Got it Tuesday at 4:15 pm

7pm sore arm. Drowsy.

Bed early.

Nightmare that our new logo was a pig face with heart eyes and gold chain necklace.

Wednesday at 8am I woke up fatigued.

Glad I took the day off.

In bed till 10am with chills.

11am Got up and forced myself to do a load of laundry. Dizzy. Cold fingers and toes. 

I came up with a brilliant idea of putting my blow dryer inside my nightgown to warm up. Works!! 

11:15 Sore knees. Legs achy. Achy all over, but legs are the worst. 

Noon I think I have a fever. My asscheeks are burning hot. Got hot buns!

12:30 Did a load of dishes to keep moving

12:45 Back in bed.

3PM Achy the whole day. Some fever.

Went to bed again early. 

Woke up at 1am and 4am with chills. 

Thursday

8AM Woke up wiped out, but less symptomatic.

Today I took one Tylenol, but that's it.

Little to no Tylenol bc I want to know the full experience. Crazy. Dumb? 

I’m still smart enough to get the Pfizer vaccine.

Amarosa: Trump wanted this U.S. Capitol captive chaos

The United States capital was taken under siege today by pro Trump supporters, protesters turned terrorist.  

Amarosa said it herself. “This is exactly the scene he wanted.” Even worse. “There may be more to come,” as she spoke with Sky News Wednesday afternoon. 

Trump supporters turned anarchists stormed the US Capitol, in a stunning invasion Wednesday afternoon shortly after a Trump rally not far from the location. 

Trumps spokesperson Rudy Giuliani the comments during the “stop and steel” rally on Wednesday morning, as Americans awaited the results of the Georgia Senate race.

At that same hour, US Congress members  were counting and officiating electoral college votes to finalize the election. 

I process that we not only take about half an hour

It was during that time that people inside congressional chambers knew something was happening outside those doors. A reporter there to cover the vote, heard rumblings and vice president Mike Pence was quickly whisked away. Congress members were taken under siege drawing guns inside government chambers, forced to duck for cover, or draw guns and confront trespassers alone, with no police presence, Eye 2 Eye.

Amidst the chaos, a female Trump supporter was shot and was pronounced dead shortly before 5 PM central standard time. When witness says she was shot in the neck blood spewed, she still said she was all right, then blood started coming out of her mouth, and she was whisked away

Reports of violence, more gun fire and teargas,  explosive devices and lockdowns are among the talks and reports being discussed around the country. City capitals are closing buildings all over the country as a precaution, fearing more protesters may react around the country as night falls across the nation. 

Protesters breached the US Capitol building smashed windows and entered government hallways going door to door in search of Congress members. They entered offices and chambers where electoral votes were being counted. Those votes were eventually secured by quick thinking aid and officially declared late Wednesday afternoon. One protester even entered the office of Nancy Pelosi and put his feet up on her desk.

Protesters climbed around hanging from congressional balconies, outside crowd in the high erected scaffolding put in place as preparations for president elect Joe Biden’s inauguration scheduled for this month.

Protesters who remained outside screaming in crackled cords of desperation “stop the steal.“ They were also yelling “Trump won.” After about an hour or two, President Trump tweeted for his protesters to “be peaceful.“ He didn’t send the police. He didn’t send the military. He didn’t send in the National Guard. Or even encourage action against the protesters. He also was not with them as he said he would be during his protest nearby. He did tweet recorded video continuing to spew baseless conspiracy theories, claiming the election was stolen from him. This, after Ivanka Trump also tweeted that these protesters were “patriots”. She was quick to delete that tweet once the scene went awry.  

Then, President elect Joe Biden took to the airwaves, to speak against President Trump on this turn of events. If Trump decides to pardon himself after being in trouble for this, he potential he walks into a trap I was on making.

Now impeachment preparations are again underway to push Trump out two weeks nearly to the day of his final exit from the White House.

Late Wednesday night congressional house speaker Nancy Pelosi said the electoral college votes would resume.

Only now, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican from Washington state, will reverse her position and won't challenge the presidential election results after what just happened.

Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump’s chief of staff and former White House press secretary, has resigned, telling ABC News News: “It has been an honor to serve the country in the White House.”

Democrats have won the Senate and new age of liberalism soon usher in. 

We have only one person to thank for this dramatic amazing and historic turn of events.

He is president Donald Trump. We can thank him but he wouldn’t be able to respond because Twitter has officially locked his account for 12 hours pending deletions of three tweets. If he doesn’t delete three tweets they find in violation of their rules, the entire account will be deleted.
