Without going into to much of "my story" because I want to keep your attention span, I will say that I always felt bad when I couldn't get to my blog everyday, and that soon turned into feeling "inadequate" in the blog world, aspiring the fame some other blogs seemed to have gained with lots of effort and hard work, and certainly not phenoms overnight.
And neither is Obama. This man slept in an alleyway his first night in NYC as a Columbia student. Some phenoms don't happen overnight...they take time to blossom.

With that, the rebirth of the Priceless Candygirl view begins...again! It never really ended, I've just had enough time to observe the landscape further and figure out my place in this blog world. My intent is to ensure that with determination, I'll reach the goal of daily blogging...and make it "whatever I like!"
AMERICA WATCHED BARACK GET HIS....EVEN THE RACISTS!
According to Nielsen ratings, over 71.4 million people watched the results, compared to 59.2 million in 2004 when Bush and Florida robbed Gore for the win. Yes, I said robbed...
What will the Obama dollar look like? And what's the dog's name going to be? Since Obama is Renegade, Michelle is Renaissance, and Sasha and Malia are both Rosebud and Radiance...will the dog be...Redemer? All we know is one of the little ladies is allergic, so it will likely be a terrier, or a dog that has long hair that doesn't shed.
And how cute is it that Barack and Michelle went on a date this Saturday? I heart them...don't nobody talk bad about the OBAMAS.
THE PARTIES LEADING TO THE DEBATE
I need to take a minute to talk about the mess that was last's week's Russell Simmons' HSAN "I AM C.H.A.N.G.E." event. I am not sure if by writing this, it will get me banned in the future, but oh well...after three different e-mails with a final confirmation, I got to the red carpet with a person who's name will not be mentioned, to madness.
Thank goodness L. Londell McMillian (he just bought The Source if you haven't heard) was there...but there was another publicist whose name will also go unmentioned (Starts with a B and ends with a C, if you know what I mean) who also said "this is madness, people keep calling my name to get them in and I can't help them..."
To test his theory, I said his name, and sure enough...he ignored me! Nonetheless, we made it across the red carpet just in time, as I heard Russell's handlers talk about he was on his way, so make sure things were ready...
And ready, they were not...who picks Home for any type of fundraising or community organization to do an event? Then the tables were in the fishbowl view, so Spike's wife (oh Lee, sorry, can't act like you know people, they get their feelings hurt) felt it necessary to let us all know that was her husband, even though I just wanted to introduce the person whom I was "media escorting" for the night...along with his new "publicist" who didn't know about this event, but whom I was also responsible for getting into the event...fun times.
I'd also like to state that this event also let me know how done I am with this fake world...here's a newsflash:
-start of newsflash-
You are blessed...be humble, approachable, and stop acting like you are Obama, please :)
-end of newsflash-
If you want to see pictures, check the other blogs. I don't feel like wasting time looking for the pictures for the mess that event was...I know it wasn't anyone's fault in particular, but is it ever?
CHEESESTEAKS FOR OBAMA
So I came up with an idea to donate my time after an eager DJ approached me wanting to do an event in NYC...of course, like many DJs he wanted to be paid, but a friend approached me with a great opportunity to do future "paid" events if we were to pull this one off first for free. So the Obama Cheesesteak jump-off sounded cool!
By the end of the week, this lamer decided that by Saturday, he'd call to cancel...because he got a paid event...I was confused because initially none of us were looking to get paid, and we all knew the payoff...but instead, some of us just come up with loser tatics, like cancelling at the last minute.
So after I deleted his number, I hit Bazooka Joe, who was down for the cause. We had a fun night, but unfortunately, I can't say too much more because I refuse to give the artist, who the event was engaged around, any shine, as he came 40 minutes before the event ended...I love the old school rappers who thinks everyone is waiting for them...yeah, you too.
TRUE JACKSON, VP SHINES FOR KEKE PALMER
Well, of course I have to represent Nickelodeon...did you guys watch True Jackson this weekend? I know, you may be too old, but she's a cute 15-year old who gets a job as a VP of Youth Apparel after being "discovered" selling sandwiches in the hallway of Mad Style (her new place of employment). The critics are buzzing, and I feel like this is so huge for an African-American female lead...so watch! It comes on Saturdays @ 8:30 PM, and the repeat will be on today at 8:30 PM as well.
That's all for now...toodles! Oh, why I named today's blog "Be the Change" is because someone gave me a notebook last Christmas, and I looked at it recently, thinking about Barack...this post became my first entry...
~PG ;)
Today's blog is sponsored by the NY Daily News, the LA Times, and anyone else I had to grab a story from...is that OK for me to say?
