Dee Says: Congrats A! You can have whatever you like!

Can I be lame for a second??

So, you know I "okay" mailings from organizations wanting to use our member list. I ran across a list of rules for Hospice volunteers that I found overwhelmingly fitting for the rules of basic friendship in its' truest form. The kind of rules I think we at least share if no one else. The rules put my thoughts into words perfectly. Plus, you may want to share it with the folks nagging you right about now...LOL -Check it out...

• Companioning is about being present to another person's pain; it is not about taking away the pain.
• Companioning is about going to the wilderness of the soul with another human being; it is not about thinking you are responsible for finding the way out.
• Companioning is about honoring the spirit; it is not about focusing on the intellect.
• Companioning is about listening with the heart; it is not about analyzing with the head.
• Companioning is about bearing witness to the struggle of others; it is not about judging or directing these struggles.
• Companioning is about walking alongside; it is not about leading or being led.
• Companioning means discovering the gifts of sacred silence; it does not mean filling up every moment with words.
• Companioning is about being still; it is not about frantic movement forward.
• Companioning is about respecting disorder and confusion; it is not about imposing order and logic.
• Companioning is about learning from others; it is not about teaching them.
• Companioning is about curiosity; it is not about expertise.

I Miss The East Coast... Sometimes!

Dee Says: I made it to the East!

A Says: I have no words. She has some good points... she's a bit drastic though.

Dee Says:  I think she's playing Devils advocate in order to drum up some publicity  to sell the book.  Dude in the audience said "you are the don king of book selling"  i concur.

a can i ask u a question?

please put your response in this post.

dee

A Says: Of course you can!!!

Dee Says: What do you miss most about grandmama?

A Says: I miss talking to her the most. We had phone dates every week. Grandmama had no cut cards and a lot of country sayings that left you with more questions than answers at times. I mean just knowing she was there was a VERY comforting feeling. I think that is a feeling that most desire in relationships overall not just from a grandparent.

Dee Says: Phone dates you stay with all the cool lingo a. I think that i will miss most abt my granny is now matter how mad, sad or indifferent she always let out a little laugh afterwards which let me know that she was in complete control of her emotions. I remember we had a lot of verbal disagreements all on my behalf but even after i said how i felt no matter how loud or disrespectful i was she still loved me, and cared about me but my sensitive ass just thought she was mean. She really taught me the meaning of unconditional love. Since I moved back home when me and mom would get into it i would call her and she always knew just the right thing to say to make it all right dang man crowder is gone...

A says: unconditional love. Im going to sound a bit corney right now, but to experience unconditional love whether of the receiving or goving end is something special. I think if everyone was able to have that trait life would be waaaaaaaaayyyyy diff.

Dee Says: Preach!!!!  Yeah but then people wouldn't know the meaning of happiness guess we gotta go to heaven to get some of that good stuff.

I could throw up in my mouth!

I swear to you I have been a plus size chic my ENTIRE life. I have been brown skinned my entire life. I have had normal ass black folks hair my entire life. I mean yeah I work on loosing weight, but it is called a weight problem. The shit may happen or it may not. I'm honestly not that pressed or depressed about it. I was never one of those fat kids who cried b/c they never had friends, or never wanted to get in the pool b/c they didnt want to wear a bathing suite in front of people, or was ashamed to eat in front of their friends. Given I am a sarcastic ass, but I do me. I would be a sarcastic ass if I was a stereotypical bomb shell with an IQ of 170 and 50 Million in the bank, my family would not have it any other way. The only things I say I cant do right now would have to do with running marathons and certain gym activities.

Now, I know I am not a show stopper, but I am a pretty fly chica. My hair is decent pressed or natural, nails clean, skin clear, glasses fly, makeup cute, clothes fashionable. I know I am not every guys type physically, I'm not most guys type physically. Every guy isnt mine either, but after you get to know someone looks become a lil less important... in my book at least. I have always seen the physical differences in people, I think anyone who says they dont is a lier. However, I have never equated common differences with people as positives and negatives.

The Point. I NEVER knew my looks were so unsatisfying that the way I do carry myself combined with my inner beauty has not been good enough thus far to experience one decent relationship. This combined with the fact that I NEVER in my 25 years did I EVER think that my male friends, the ones I tell all my most private thoughts to. The ones who offer that great male perspective. The ones whose friendships have grown to the point of being damn near family. The guys who are their to pick me up after some jerk plays my heart b/c of my physical traits ( the majority of the time) or what ever ..... ..... .... .... would EVER not want to wife you up for the same reasons these other guys havent. I'm plus sized, brown skinned, with regular ass black hair! SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now, I have to think back to all those days they offered a shoulder to lean on and think.... YOU think the same shit! They are not as spiritual and open minded as they project themselves to be. Then, if you point it out it is just my mindset and my views on things... WTF. I cant make this shit up. It's like they want you to say or admit that you have low self esteem and are depressed over it and that's why you havent found someone. I dont have low self esteem. I'm not depressed over my weight. How about I have standards like any other female should have.I just needed a moment to vent b/c for one of the 1st times in 25 years I realize. YOU ALL ARE THE ONES THAT CARE ABOUT IT MORE THAN I EVER HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, do me a favor! Stop describing the chic/s you are looking for who have all of my family values, morals, education, educational goals, accomplishments and style except in a girl who is thinner, taller, lighter and with longer hair. Or shorter a bit darker with a buffy booty. And tell me about it. Oh I like her, she reminds me of you....(I'm throwing up in my mouth now) Please! You sound lame.

DeeSays: Sorry For taking hella long with Dee Says but uhh... maybe try throwing up on him  and him instead so he can really feel you.

just my thoughts.

A Says: That Banner boy is sexy. He is all types of chocolate, all types of thick and has all types of jail house country boy muscles, beats and lyrical game. He put on a great show with a lot of energy. He jumped and danced all night. He climbed from the stage to the 2nd floor of the club over the speakers. He danced through the entire crowd it was great. He even walked arround with the fans after the show talkin to everybody. Now, being the person I am I went to go get a close up of his fine ass. I closed my tab on the 2nd floor ran down to the ATM in the basement got cash to buy his CD just so he could sign it and I could ask "Can you whisper somethin' in my ear!" HA! But, I didnt even get to use my line cause he was gone, but that's okay his sexy self is still 99.999% the father of my future babies!

Past Life Regression

Here is the link to the Oprah show episode that tackled the idea. I know this isn't everyone's thing. But, if nothing else the topic is highly fascinating (or at least to me). Plus, I added a youtube video for you to look at. This video is more funny than serious

Action Plan!

A Says:


So, in an attempt to get my life together (both professionally and personally) I downloaded a brainstorming program. Some programs are free. The good ones can run you around $200 per licence. I downloaded a free program called MindMaps. It allows you to export your Brainstorm in HTML, JPEG, you name it. Below is a sample JPEG of What I want in a man. The Jpeg is small, but you can get an idea. I also did one last night on what I want out of life. That's what led me to this one...LOL.

Dee Says: i downloaded the software but have yet to use it.. ill keep you posted!!

 This thing is genius! 

Chiropractic Visit

Dee,

Good lookin! Tell your boss I said she picked a good doctor. I went to the chiropractor yesterday after work. It was great! It turns out the office is a health and wellness center. the chiropractor does everthing from chiropratic message to Aqua Chi to Reiki to nutritional and herbal counseling, ear candling, acupressure... I could keep going.

I made an apointment for just a spinal adjustment to help out with my back problems and overall health. She started my treatment with an Iridology test. Have you ever heard of Iridology? They basicly take a close up picture of your both eyes. From the photo they can tell what is going on in the rest of your body. She told me High blood pressure runs in my family (Given it doesnt take a rocket scientist to fig that out, I am Black) so I should stay away from red meats and Salt....lol she must not know I am THE SALT MASTER! That I have toxins in my body from shower water (ever heard of that? Not me) and should buy a shower filter, and my body CAN NOT digest starches. I need to buy some colon cleansing stuff (I know I Know TMI). I know most diets want you to cut down or remove starches from your diet, but she said they dont agree with my system at all. She must not know I am THE CHIP MASTER as well! LMAO

Anyway, then she put me on the water bed thing to message my back and loosen my muscles for about 20 min. I fell asleep :) Then she gave me my re-adjustment. Can you say Snap Crackle Pop. My body sounded like a bowl of Rice Crispy cereal. She also recommended a book for me to read about a healthier diet and said after reading the book if I want to do it she would help me.

I slept like a baby last night. I go back next week for a follow up

Dee Says: YeahhhSonn!! Man  that's great I am so happy that worked out for you. I will tell her monday morning.

Exhibit A!

Dee Says: Click the question mark!

Bloods IN Brooklyn?!

The Miller Time Bloods of Brooklyn got popped recently:

Police arrested 13 gang members involved in a citywide drug and gun ring, authorities said yesterday. Undercover cops purchased more than $40,000 of crack and powder cocaine and seven guns in their probe of the so-called Miller Time Bloods, police said. The gang acted as wholesalers, selling drugs to street-level dealers in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Canarsie as well as in Queens and upper Manhattan, police said. Among the arrests, police this week busted Harold Stevenson, 42, Corey James, 40, and Joshua Middleton, 27, ranking members of the New York Bloods, authorities said. They will be charged with federal drug conspiracy and firearms trafficking, authorities said.

Nobody had any better ideas than the name Miller Time? St Ides, Olde English, hell even 211 Reserve Piru? Then again the fools are 42, and 40, still claiming a gang though. SMH

Terrence Howard On Love...

Terrence Howard on Rosenburg Radio (listen/download)

"Long-suffering means being in a position to change your circumstance but willing to sit there and continue to be offended in hopes that the offending party will change. It's the greatest form of love. It's the type of love that God has for mankind. Because he's in a position to fix everything right now by wiping us out but he doesn't. In a relationship, to be long-suffering, often times, that's the woman -- who knows that the guy isn't right but sees something beautiful in him and keeps waiting and hoping that if she keeps pouring a little more kindness and understanding on him, he's gonna change. And often times it reaches him, sometimes it doesn't, but that's long-suffering...

It's supposed to be [two ways] because you have to be understanding on both sides and you have to love and see a better person in the person than they see in themselves. Because they see you. I remember a girl telling me a long time ago, she said, "if only you saw you the way I did." And then that made me want to be more like the person she saw...

But as long suffering as love can be, sometimes there's a point, there's an end to it, when you've strained it so far that we're only human and we don't have an infinite amount of love even though we may try to have it...

If you could package that kind of love that you have when you are 13 and hold on to it forever and never breakup, the world would be a different place, but for some reason girls they get to running after the bad boy and the nice guy keeps getting dissed. At 39, I feel sorry because women are still paying for what girls did to me when I was 16. You learn how to play monster. Men are a lot more sensitive than is reported. We hold a grudge. And unless that person comes and says, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have did that to you, you should have stayed the nice guy" you get more as a unappreciative monster than as a good guy. Girls want the bad guy, to start. Then later on, they want the good guy. But they done turned all the good guys into bad guys...

[And you still stupidly think that you're still the good guy] Until you see her flesh on your teeth and you're sitting there devouring her emotionally on a daily basis, and you look at yourself in the mirror and walk away. But now you've left another wounded creature. And you go off. Hopefully some woman is gonna turn you around again, and remind you of that little boy that used to love.

dee says: who the f knew?
A Says: Wow, that was a lesson, a reality check and refreshing all at once!

NERVES!

People get on my nerves when they ask you ten thousand questions about your personal business and want truthful answers, but when you ask the same question back they get hella vague!

Yo-Yo & Mr. Shaw Made The Sweetest Person On Earth!

Dee Says: Unfortunately, we weren't able to get me in today due to miscommunication, sooo he said he's gonna poke around and try to find me a better gig through his other recruiter contacts throughout the bay. Im not mad the whole thing was very rushed and i like to be fully prepared for all interviews, hair,nails, eyebrows the whole 9. I am very thankful for the opportunity.

That picture cracks me the hell up.

A Says: Awwww, you are soooo sweet too Dee. That was really nice to say. I needed that. Yo folks did a great job too! Oh, and you know Yo Yo and Mr. Shaw think you are the best ever right???!!!! My Pops still cracks up when he thinks about you at my Grandma's house that time.

Confessions

iPODs are good for more than listening to music

So, okay... I have a confession to make.... I talk to myself... Regularly! You know those conversations you re-live and or those convos you make up in your head. Well mine are so vived I find myself making the facial expressions and mouth movements to go along with them. I'm sure I look like a Schizophrenic in public!!! I can't help it. I think it may be a family trait, my Grandmama did the same thing. I often wear my iPOD not to listen to music but to make others think I'm singing the lyrics and not talking to myself!!!

Good Luck on Your Interview Dee!!!!

QUIZ TIME!

A says:

I love my job, but I'm not focused right now. So, I took a quiz. I find quizzes fascinating they are usually a load of garbage. Just a bunch or random questions that shoot out some generic response. BUT! They are sooooo addictive. This one is about are you boring or interesting. I think I would get a more honest response if someon else to the quiz about me for me!!! anyway here it is. You should take it to Dee.

You Are 64% Interesting

You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing. You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy. You are genuinely interested in and open to the world. You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience. Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal. But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long.

Are You Boring or Interesting?

CURTAINS!

So, last night Kim Kardashian was booted off Dancin with the stars. Who Cares!

1. She couldn't dance, she was as stiff as a board


2. I thought the show was dancin with the stars. I ask you, when did she become a star?


3. If she does have "true fans" they are boys 18 and under and I am pretty sure they are not watching Dancing with the Stars on Monday and Tuesday nights.


4. With that said, who thought she was gonna last anyway?

22-Year-Old Auctioning Off Her Virginity

Going once....

A Sacramento State grad is putting her virginity on the auction block to help pay for her studies.
"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," the 22-year-old (who uses the pseudonym "Natalie Dylan") says on tonight's The Insider. "I'm ready for the controversy ... I'm ready to do this."
Dylan says she's already taken a polygraph test to prove her virginal status and is also willing to undergo a medical exam.

She says she hopes to net up to a million dollars from the auction, which will take place in Nevada at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch (eBay turned her down).
"Through this process I'm not just looking for the highest bidder," she says, adding, "I'm looking for someone who is a genuine, overall nice person."

Howard Stern has denied a report that he is affiliated with the auction.

A Says: I ain't mad at ya....HEY!!!! No but really, You should want that moment to be with someone special or at least on a day you are especially drunk!! I'm not mad at her paper chasin' but who ever someone chooses to be with the moment should not be a publicly broadcasted event. It is bad enough some people tell a few close friends or family, you never know what will happen when you share your most intimate thoughts and experiences with those closest to you. She put her business out there for the world to know!

Dee saya: She's one step away from full time hooker status. However it is a recession...

Something that makes good sense.

A Says: I received this in a forward and it expressed my feelings on the bailout perfectly. Tell me what you think D.

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America ina We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, womanand child So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

• Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
• Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
• Put away money for college – it’ll be there
• Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs
• Buy a new car – create jobs
• Invest in the market – capital drives growth
• Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves
• Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehmann Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces. If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+! As for AIG – liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up. Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t. Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.” But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC. And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returnedinstantly in taxes to Uncle Sam. Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Food for Thought..

"Lots of people practice affirmations. They know that by saying things, in the form of an affirmation, it can help solidify that belief within them, which leads to manifestation later on. We use affirmations to break old patterns, create positive mental attitudes and fight any negative speak in our head ."

This is me 110%

Why?

I know this topic comes up ALL the time.... but why are MEN so damn funny actin!?!?!?!? A close male friend falls into two categories. Either you are tryna be my man or you need to be there and support my efforts of growing as a person AND tryna find a man. If I should be there through all your girls (good and bad) and all your fake marriages...WHY do they run from my convos??!?!? or try to act like the BIG brother I never had.....I am an ONLY child! I like being an only child and I have a thousand cousins. I DONT NEED A BROTHER. However, if that is where/what you wanna be then GREAT. Just know you will stay there "FOREVER" - you have to say that like sandlot!....lol. But, 4real this shit is whack


DEE Says: Men ARE The Biggest haters ever!!


Ever heard of the term " have your cake and eat it too"? translation have a steady (regardless if its u or not= cake


Eat It Too Part= having you in the friend zone/ while consciously helping you to stay single while leaning on you emotionally and vice versa to see how you feel about him so when he does grow up ya'll can live happily ever after but just in case u don't want his ass he will always have a backup. major sign of insecurity...


Any More Questions Lady A?

A replies:
This is sooooo messed up. Every girl wants a guy they can ask all those relationship questions. You know me, I'm eager to be friendly and to help out but I'm not in a rush to trust.... so after we get past all the basics of starting a great life long friendship... they want to start acting brand new!!! If what you say is true they are sneaky!!!! D, I don't play emotional games. Either we are good friends or we are not. Either we are more than just friends or we are just homies. Being friends does not give you an option to buy.... DATING DOES!!!! ,,,. I need a Drink ASAP

Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit

The designer pictured wearing the shirt. Photo by Fashion Indie Posted July 17, 2008

A 25-year-old New York City graduate student is threatening to sue a T-Shirt designer after being assaulted for wearing one of his designs.

The woman bought a $69 shirt from Apollo Braun's Manhattan boutique that bore the words, "Obama is my slave." When she wore the shirt on Tuesday, four teenage girls accosted her - shoving her, pulling out her earphones, and spitting in her face, according to the New York edition of Metro News.

The unnamed woman is reportedly seeking solace by suing Braun - born Doron Braunshtein - for "all he's got," the designer claims. He, of course, is shirking any responsibility for the incident and says that the shirt reflects the views of "ordinary WASPs."

“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” the Israeli-born designer said.
“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, but claims that it's not because the candidate is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”

“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like the Illinois senator because “he is a Muslim” — a myth that Obama apparently cannot escape.

The designer has sold several other anti-Obama styles from his boutique, including shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?”

$11M Awarded to Black Residents Denied Water Service for Decades

At the same time the nation is prepared to nominate its first black major presidential candidate, another more basic "change" comes to one predominately black Ohio neighborhood: Running water.

A federal jury awards nearly $11 million to residents of the mostly black, rural Coal Run neighborhood, about 5 miles east of Zanesville in Muskingum County, after finding "local authorities denied them public water service for decades out of racial discrimination. ... The money covers both monetary losses and the residents' pain and suffering between 1956, when water lines were first laid in the area, and 2003, when Coal Run got public water."

The suit was filed in 2003 after the Ohio Civil Rights Commission ruled the Coal Run residents were victims of systemic discrimination and had been denied water service for decades. In contrast, just yards up the hill, which is almost all white, wealthier residents enjoyed water service for years. The mostly black and Native American residents in the tiny Coal Run "hollow on the edge of town lived a bit like frontiersmen, keeping drinking water in jugs, collecting rainwater in barrels, even occasionally melting snow from their yards, all because they did not have city water service."

"The water stopped where the black folks started," Saundra McCuen told the New York Times in 2004. "I don't want to use the race thing, but what else could it be?"

Another plaintiff, Frederick Martin, "grew up with nine siblings and shared two tubs of water between them on bath nights when he was growing up. He left Coal Run, built on a former coal mine, in 1970 so his children wouldn't have to endure the same living conditions. 'Today I feel that we are really blessed, to know and to see justice being met,' Martin said. 'And to see, regardless of who we are, there. "

KISS AND TELL
Scenes from a hip-hop marriage

RICK MADONIK / TORONTO STAR
Canadian Alana Wyatt-Smith wrote about her three-day courtship and subsequent marriage to hip-hop artist and actor Mos Def in 2005.

Mississauga former stripper dishes about stormy relationship with rapper/actor Mos Def
Jun 29, 2008 04:30 AM
ASHANTE INFANTRY
POP & JAZZ CRITIC
While kiss-and-tell books have been a staple of rock ’n’roll, it’s early days for the genre in hip hop. Bestowed with the industry nickname Superhead, former music video performer and Virgin Islands native Karrine Steffans got the ball rolling in 2005 with her New York Times bestseller Confessions of a Video Vixen which explicitly detailed dalliances with entertainers, such as Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.

New Yorker Carmen Bryan followed with 2006’s It’s No Secret, which outlined her relationship with her daughter’s father, rapper Nas, whom she two-timed for five years with his rival Jay-Z, and on occasion with basketball star Allan Iverson.

Now a Canadian woman in getting in on the action.

One-time stripper Alana Wyatt-Smith, 29, who has a 7-year-old son with Toronto hip-hop artist Saukrates, has penned Breaking the Code of Silence, a memoir examining her 2005 marriage to American MC-turned-actor-Mos Def, three days after they met, as well as encounters with various professional athletes and celebs.

She also recounts a rough-and-tumble upbringing that included childhood sexual abuse by a relative and being beaten into a coma by a violent boyfriend as a teenager.

Wyatt-Smith would prefer to distance her book from that of Steffans and Bryan, insisting that it’s not an exposé, because she disguises the identities of the bulk of her lovers. (Another key difference is that the Americans’ books were released by reputable publishing houses and consequently don’t suffer the errors in spelling, grammar and coherency that plague her self-published narrative).

“I disagree with putting names of people in there, just out of respect for their wives and children,” said Wyatt-Smith in an interview. “If this was about making money, getting rich, I could have wrote a tell-all book, 10 times better than Karrine Steffens. People want to know about the biggest names in the NBA, who proposed to who, and did what, and this and that; I could have put some stuff in there that would have made it a No. 1 seller within days. I use nicknames, initials, that myself and the gentleman would know; the ones named I got permission from.”

Except, of course, for the biggest fish, Mos Def, legally named Dante Smith. The Star tried unsuccessfully to reach the 34-year-old Brooklyn native for comment through his record label, booking agent and entertainment lawyer.

Highly rated for his socio-political stance and distinctively mumbling flow, Mos Def, who will be in town on the Rock the Bells tour next month, also fronts a hip-hop-jazz big band which played Carnegie Hall last night and is a burgeoning actor who appeared in acclaimed films such as Monster’s Ball and Be Kind Rewind.

In her book, Wyatt-Smith, a Grade 7 dropout who previously supported herself as an exotic dancer, model and video music performer (Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot),” recalls their first public outing, two days after they met in Toronto:

“He had asked me if I would attend a MuchMusic performance featuring Kanye West. Now, that was a little awkward because a year prior I had met Kanye in Vegas and we had a moment! NOT SEXUAL! I REPEAT, KANYE WEST and I NEVER have had sexual relations,” she emphasises in the book. She adds: “Much to my surprise, Mos introduced me as his wife.”

The next day, August 17, 2005, the pair were married at Toronto City Hall. In the wedding photos included in the book they look happy and sober.

“There were stories that we may have been on drugs when we go married.....it was true honest love at first sight; although it took me a while to get to know him, and I think it was more in his heart than it was in mine. I kind of went along with it.”

Within six weeks, the couple had attended Fashion Week in New York, the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, purchased a $850,000 house in Caledon — and separated.

She said she filed for divorce in October following what she claimed was a loud argument that got out of control while they were in Brazil, where Mos Def was filming a movie.

“I don’t believe that his intent was to hurt me, I believe that he was trying to prove a point,” she said. “But I had shared and cried with him many nights about my past (abusive) situation and I asked of him not to do that, because it brings back memories; so I found it to be more disrespectful, because he knew what I had been through.”

Wyatt-Smith said she didn’t press charges because she didn’t “want to cause problems” in the hopes that his outburst was “a first and last.”

She said there were several attempts at reconciliation, but that Mos Def, who has six children with four different women, has a demanding though not abusive demeanour that she found difficult to abide. They have not been together since October 2006, but despite a $115,000 financial settlement are not officially divorced.

“He won’t sign the papers,” she said. “He told my lawyer if he can’t have me, nobody else will.”

On the afternoon the Star visited Wyatt-Smith’s mod Mississauga condo, she’s wearing her wedding rings, but gushing about a current boyfriend who in a few weeks will be history.

“To keep the guys away, honestly,” she demurred on the subject of the flashy diamond. She’s sweet and chatty, but just as contradictory on the subject of her, well, husband: on one hand blaming their incompatibility on her inability to be submissive; on the other expressing a desire to reconcile — “Since Mos, I have yet to experience being loved.”

Toronto-born of Italian and Jamaican parentage, Wyatt-Smith reveals a hard knocks start that found her on her own at 13 and sucked into a fast lifestyle for survival. She said she supports herself now with “odd jobs here and there, hosting,” but is taking a writing course in hope of reinventing herself as an author and journalist. She also fancies herself a motivational speaker with a story she believes is tailor-made for Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks and her holy grail — Dr. Phil, despite Internet naysayers who brand her a gold-digger.

“You have the girl out there that’s 35, 36, still carrying around the fact that her uncle molested her when she was 7 years old and hasn’t told nobody. That is a horrible thing to walk around with, I’ve done it.

“Then there’s the woman out there who doesn’t know the difference between `Is he my lover? Is he my pimp?;’ I’ve been there. Or, `I’m dating this NBA player, he flies me to 13 cities straight out of 82 games, I think he’s in love with me, but does he really like me?’ No, I’ve done it. And `Oh, my gosh! I thought he really liked me, we built this huge chemistry up until he came here, then he never called me after we slept together;’ I’ve been there. I saw death; I wound up on a hospital bed for three months because of my first boyfriend.

“If you have a question, I can answer it,” she insists.

“Even sitting around a jail or shelter with abused women, that’s the thrill I’m going to get from this book. I’ve never been a Louis Vuitton shopper type. I’m not fancy, I’m not expensive. In fact, I’ve never owned a Louis Vuitton bag.”

Introducing The PistolCam

In today’s post-Sean Bell society, somebody needs to keep a close eye on where these trigger-happy officers are firing. Some New York cops seem to have recently found a solution in the PistolCam, a gadget that records video of your gun’s point of view.

With one of these bad boys mounted on the barrel, we’ll have clear evidence of what really happened in those controversial few moments when the bullets start flying. The camera, which can record up to an hour of MPEG4 audio and video, is automatically turned on when the gun is removed from its holster. The company claims that video documentation exonerates police officers in 93% of cases where they’re accused of brutality. Now we just have to keep an eye on that remaining 7% to make sure they don’t “lose” the tape. Watch some PistolCam footage after the jump.
