Racism on Twitter???

As the 2009 BET awards aired, most tweeted their opinions about the award show on their Twitter pages (I know I sure did LOL).



Because of the mass tweets about the award show, BET, and a great amount of black celebrities became Trending Topics on social networking site.



Apparently some people were upset about Trending Topics because they were too "black" or "ghetto".



Someone brought http://omgblackpeople.tumblr.com/page/1 to my attention, and some of what people posted to there Twitter pages last night shocked me...and honestly NOTHING really surprises me these days.



A couple of examples were:

Do You Have Terrible Dandruff???

Trust me, it's NOTHING to be ashamed of. It's more common than you think.

Personally, 2 years ago I had this problem. I have a skin condition called Eczema and it caused bad dandruff. My scalp was so bad that I could scratch my head into a bowl and it would look like a bowl of Corn Flakes cereal. LOL Funny, but I'm serious.

Fortunately there's a shampoo that resolve that issue. It's called Nizoral. Forgive me for sounding like an infomercial, but this shampoo REALLY works.

It's a medicated shampoo that you don't need a prescription for. It's so great that you wouldn't believe that you can buy something this powerful over the counter.

And the best part is that it works on ALL hair types. No lie!

You can purchase Nizoral at your local retail store (Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, etc etc).
It's a little pricey ($13-$18 a bottle) but it's definitely worth it.

If you don't believe me, ask your cosmetologist. I'm sure they'll agree. ::wink::

PPOV: Will I Find A Job?

D(dot) Johnson Reader, Krystal, sent an email asking for advice from a Psychic's point of view.

Her email says:

"Hey Derek,
I love the blog. I understand that you're psychic so I have a question. Will I find a job? I was laid off for a company I was with for 2 years. It's been 3 months and I've had no luck. Will I find a damn job? It seems I'm putting my resume out there and no one is calling me back.

Thank you,
Krystal"


Hey Krystal!!! First of all I want to thank you for the support! Be sure to tell your friends and family about the blog. :-)

Now on to business, I see that you weren't happy at your job, so being laid off wasn't a big issue for you. Your only problem is money and where your next pay check is coming from because your savings account it is getting low. Don't worry, you will find a job within the next 3 weeks, someone that is impressed by your experience will contact you offering an interview and you're going to blow them away. So that's taken care of...

Also I'm sensing some sort of unfinished business. Something is telling me that you want to go back school. Right now is the perfect opportunity since you're out of work even if that means going to school part time.

Don't worry girl. This situation is only temporary. ::kisses::


-If you have ANY questions you want answered from a psychic's point of view, send me an email DerekIsNormal@gmail.com If you want to remain Anonymous please specify that in your email. NO question is taboo.-

Father Offers Adopted 5 Year Old Son To Sex Predator???

Frank Lombard, 42

I know that Durham, NC is my hometown and all, but some crazy sh*t be going down in the Bull City.

This sick ass is charged with offering up his adopted 5-year-old son for sex with a stranger he met over the Internet.

Frank Lombard, the associate director of Duke Hospital's Center for Health Policy, was arrested Wednesday evening at his Durham home as the result of a sting operation conducted by the FBI and Washington, D.C., police.

Lombard waived an extradition hearing Friday morning in Raleigh and will be taken to Washington next week to face charges, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice.

Sick ass could face up to 20 years of prison.

Another sick bastard, who's facing his own child sex charges, led the authorities to Lombard, according to an affidavit by Washington Police Detective Timothy Palchak. The unidentified sick bastard told police that on 3 or 4 occasions he say Lombard perform oral sex and other sex acts on the child.

Lombard, and his dumb sick ass, invited an investigator posing on the Internet as a sexual predator to perform multiple sex acts on the child if he flew to North Carolina and even suggested which hotel the investigator should use.

SERIOUSLY...DON'T PEOPLE WATCH 'TO CATCH A PREDATOR"????

Investigators got a search warrant and arrested Lombard in Durham. When they searched Lombard's home, investigators seized two webcams, five computers and a sex toy, among other items.

The state Department of Social Services placed two children at the home, including the 5-year-old, in protective custody.

Are You A Modern Day Hedonist?

The Dictionary defines "Hedonism" as devotion to pleasure as of way of life.

You learn in Greek and Roman mythology that Hedonism was notorious back in those days. You had people eating good foods, partying, and experiencing sex with multiple partners whether it be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual sex.

Most would frown upon this type of behavior, but a plethora of people engage in this type of behavior.

What I mean by "Modern Day Hedonist" is when one has a drug happen (weed smokers, crack smokers, pain killer addicts, etc etc), a person that's promiscuous and has great sex with lots of people, or swingers (couples that have sex with other couples).

So would you consider yourself a modern day Hedonist? Please answer the poll below.

Singers/Rappers The Best At Oral Sex???

Music lovers may have another reason to adore those that posses singing and rapping abilities.

It's definitely not a proven fact, but rumor has it that those that can sing and/or rap are the best at oral sex.

Many Singers and Rappers have mastered the art of breathing which allows them to hold a long note or spit 16 bars with no problem.

No wonder Musicians, Singers, and Rap artist get the most booty. (Haha)

Personal experiences would definitely support this theory, but then again I don't know.

All my singers and rappers out there, email me and tell me you think?

Also, those that have personally been with a singer or rapper, let me hear your opinions as well.

The email is DerekIsNormal@gmail.com

I will share your opinions and experiences on a different blog post. :-)

Polo's Mugshot

And he's definitely not photogenic...



This is the mugshot of Polo Molina (Marino), the guy who allegedly punched Perez Hilton in the face in Toronto.

And the funny thing is Molina is on probation for a DUI arrest in California.

If convicted, he could serve 6 or more months of jail time.

You gotta give it to my boy(girl) Perez, he's smart. He's going to sue the pants off Black Eyed Peas and their management which will get him both money and air time. I aint mad at cha boo! *snap*

Man Attacked Over A Bologna Sandwich?!?!

In Oklahoma City, OK 24 year old Roger Hamilton was attacked for his bologna and cheese sandwich. Police say that Hamilton told them he was sitting on a bus station bench putting mayonnaise on his sandwich when he noticed a man staring at him.

The man punched Hamilton in the mouth, grabbed his sandwich and left.

Hamilton had a swollen lip and his face was covered in blood. The police report listed the value of the sandwich at 76 cents.

Police have yet to have found the attacker.

Daaaaaaamn homie. I know we're in a recession and all but do you REALLY have to beat a dude up for his bologna sandwich?!

Your Personality Determinded By Your Favorite Color???

As a practicing psychic, you learn that there's no such thing as a coincidence, each and every thing happens for a reason.



There's the zodiac, numerology, tarot readings, palm readings, and numerous of other ways to tell us about ourselves.



It's definitely not a proven fact, but I do believe that our favorite colors can tell us more about us than what we think.



Allow me to share a few examples of favorite colors and personalities.


Red: One who has the color Red as a favorite usually is an over the top, divalicious attention whore. Self-confidence is through the roof, but not so conceited you can't stand them. They may be a Diva, but they're usually really sweet.

Yellow: One who favors the color Yellow is known to be promiscuous. They love to have fun, party, and enjoy life...but definitely are NOT prudes in the bedroom. ::wink::

Orange: One who favors the color Orange is the best to ask for fashion advice. They're usually stylish, hip, and keep up with the latest fashion trends.

Black: Bold, daring, and a risk taker. Has an in-your-face attitude and great at socializing with others. Usually people who favor the color Black has a large amount of friends.

Green: Uses lots and lots of profane language. Very nice people, but have NASTY mouths. Probably someone you don't want around young children because they will speak whatever it is on their minds.

Purple: Loves money, but money doesn't love them. Terrible with saving money but loves shopping sprees.

Teal (or Sky Blue): Very creative and a dreamer. Loves the beauty of each and everything. Wants the world to be beautiful. Hates confrontation and loves peace all around...but don't mistake it, they're no punks. You'll get f*cked up if you piss them off. LOL

Brown: Brown is very interesting. People who favor this color usually are very friendly people, but are usually 2-faced and will talk about you behind your back. Very sneaky but RARELY get caught. Very good at what they do, especially infidelity.

and lastly

Blue: Very stand off-ish and may appear to be stuck up, but they're far from it. Really nice people and are more than likely to donate a large amount of funds to a worthy cause, especially if it has to do with saving children.

If I didn't post your favorite color I'm sorry. I only posted the most common colors that people favor.

Eating While Sitting On The Toilet???

That's how they get down in Taiwan. (LOL) No it's not what you think...

There's a toilet themed restaurant where they have weird and disgusting named foods. For exmaple, a "bloody poop" would be a strawberry sundae. LOL the things people come up with.

Perez vs Will.I.Am (Which one is lying?)

Following up on the post from earlier today, I sat and watched statements from both Perez Hilton and Will.I.Am and obviously one of them is telling a fib. But which one?

My guess is definitely Will.I.Am! His story makes absolutely no sense and goes around in circles, whereas Perez explained the event in full detail.

You learn, by watching the videos, that it was NOT Will.I.Am that attacked Perez. Perez explanins in his statement that Will.I.Am's manager Polo [Molina] attacked him after an argument that he had with Will.I.Am.

Will.I.Am explains in his statement that a crazed fan attacked Perez.

So who's telling a story? (???) Watch the videos below and judge for yourself

Perez Statement (Part 1)


Perez Statement (Part 2)


Will.I.Am Statement

Perez Hilton Attacked By Will.I.Am?!?!?

Perez Hilton mentioned on his twitter page, a little after 3am June 21st, that Black Eyed Peas group member Will.I.Am and his security guards attacked him!!!!

Click to enlarge the above picture and read the tweets from the bottom up!

What in the world is going on?!

Why would you pull something like that when Black Eyed Peas JUST released The E.N.D., album that features hit single "Boom Boom Pow"?

I wonder if there's "gay bashing" afoot?

I'll definitely post more on the story when I find out what REALLY happened.

Couple With Swine Flu Exchange Vows!

All I could say was wooooooow when I read this story. They say nothing can break true love, but DAYUM!

June 14th in Highland Park, IL Ilana Jackson and Jeremy Fierstien of Chicago wore surgical masks and latex gloves to their wedding. The couple found out less than 48 hours before the wedding that they had Swine Flu.

The couple decided to go on with the ceremony after their doctors assured them that their guest wouldn't be put at serious risk.

To be sure, they also stayed 10 feet away from guests at all times, even walking around the gathering instead of down the aisle at a Highland Park synagogue.

Jackson says they'd joked about swine flu after both experienced vomiting, achy limbs and fever. But they never thought they really had it.

She says the circumstances were unfortunate but they have a good attitude about it.

That's a test to see who your true friends are. Your REAL friends would attend your events, no matter the circumstances.

I know that I would've kept my ass home...but would've sent a wedding gift via Fed-Ex.

Prostitution, Smart Career Choice?

Let's face it, we're in a recession and times are hard. Companies are filing for bankruptcy, and hundreds of people are losing jobs every day with no luck finding a new one. So what do you do?

How about selling sex, or companionship for money. Before you turn your nose up consider this: in Oakland, CA, the average prostitute's salary is an estimated $76,000 annually according to indeed.com, and these are just average girls standing on the street corner (without a drug habit), not high-classed escorts, whereas the average teacher's salary in Oakland, CA is an estimated $56,000 annually.

Face it, sex sells, whether you're female or male. It's the American way, and has been for a very long time.

So the next time you see a woman standing on the corner, or here these stories on the news about escorts and burlesque houses, don't judge them because they may be making more money than you and your honest living.

Happy Fathers Day!!!

Happy Fathers Day!

Dads, this is YOUR day, so grab the kids, go play some football, have some ice cream, or go roller skating.

To the sorry ass "baby daddies" (you know exactly who you are), it must feel good to not get any calls, cards, or gifts from your children or their mothers, but this is still "Fathers Day", so in enjoy it, or at least try to, deadbeat.

Wendy's Employee Kills Co-Worker!

Thomas Theo Brown

Instead of flipping burgers, or making frosties, you shoot a co-worker. If that's not some ghettofied sh*t, I don't know what is. SMH

In Jacksonville, FL at around 2:30pm on Thursday June 18th, Gunshots were fired inside of a Wendy's in the 3000 block of St. Johns Bluff Road on the Southside.

Police say they are searching for Mr. Thomas Theo Brown, whom they've identified as a suspect in the fatal shooting.

"He went home and he said in a rage, 'I'm tired of this. I'm going to kill whomever,'" said JSO Sgt. Derrick Lewis.

Police said Brown returned to work with a gun and shot and killed fellow employee 22-year-old Juanese Miller.

There were several people inside the restaurant eating when the shooting happened.

Miller's family said the victim worked at the Wendy's for only a few months and that she was trying to earn a living so she could take care of her 3-year-old daughter.

Miller's family said it had not heard about any problems between Miller and Brown.

That's a damn shame. A DAMN shame.

PETA Getting On My Damn Nerves!

I respect those that fight for a cause they believe in, but when the cause is complete nonsense, that's where we have a problem.

I love the fact that the PETA organization are vegetarians, because as a faithful meat eater, I couldn't do it, and also they fight for innocent animals that can't defend themselves.

But come on...a fly? Seriously?

Instead of protesting in front of a slaughter house, and throwing red paint on those that wear fur like they usually do, they're all on The President's nuts because he swatted a fly out of his face during an interview.

I know one thing...These mutha f*ckas need to learn a lesson and leave people hell alone.

One day, I'm going to round up a group of meat eaters and fur wearers, we're going to go to a PETA protest rally purposely wearing fur coats, and when these f*ckers come toward us with paint, we're going to mace them and beat them with bats.

PPOV: Rihanna a Lesbian?

Anytime that i'm going to post a prediction or give an opinion from a Psychic's Point-of-view, I'm going to name these post PPOV (Psychic's Point-of-view).

Anywhoo...I believe that singer Rihanna is not into men at all.

I definitely think she's a lesbian.



There's something about her smile, body language, and the way she carries herself that makes me think she's a lesbo.

I predict very soon after this whole Chris Brown court case is dismissed (because it will be dismissed, trust me ::wink::), Rihanna will be caught in some kind of scandal with a very aggressive, butch looking girl she considers a "friend".

I'm seeing that this girl will be wearing a very long t-shirt, big jeans, and a blue fitted cap.

Mother Leaves Children Home ALONE To Go Get Nails Done!

Jennifer Gonzalez, 24

She'll never get the "Mother of The Year" Award. (LOL)

I'm sure she loves her children, but the law now views Jennifer Gonzalez, of Coram (Long Island), NY, as an unfit parent, and she now faces child endangerment charges for leaving her children, ages 5 and 2, at home alone for hours to go get her nails done.

I seriously hope it was worth it and she got a hell of a manicure.

A concerned neighbor contacted the police.

Police say Gonzalez told them she went for a walk while the children slept. Then she decided to stay out longer because she couldn't deal with supervising them.

The boys were released into their father's custody.

Seriously, this girl is crazy.

Singer Jeremih Likes Birthday Sex With Dudes?

Supposedly he's been messing around with calendar model Keston Karter.

Terrance Dean, Liar or Legit?

Terrance Dean is the author of the book Hiding In Hip Hop: On The Down Low In The Entertainment Industry, a book that exposes homosexuality in the Hip Hop community, something that's been going on behind closed doors for years.



The book is actually a pretty good read, however, I personally felt that some of these stories were stretched a little. I definitely don't doubt that what Dean was explaining actually happened, but most of the book sounded like a gay man's fantasy.

Dean definitely has a wealth of confidence in himself. In the book he explains how all girls (and guys) wanted him, and also how well endowed he is.

Dean doesn't take the Karine Stefans approach and name names, but he does give great hints and pseudonyms of the Down Low people he's referring to.

Even though the book is an ego boost for Dean, it's definitely a great, interesting read.

If They Don't Answer The Phone, Keep Calling??? NO!!!

People that refuse to leave a message on your voicemail, and continue to call you an estimated 20 times annoy the hell out of me.

I don't understand...if they don't answer the first time, what makes you think they'll answer the next 19 times?

LEAVE A VOICEMAIL IF YOUR PARTY DOES NOT ANSWER!

DO NOT KEEP CALLING! IT'S ANNOYING!!!

Especially if you're one of those people that like to block your number when calling someone. People don't want "Unknown", "Private", or "Restricted" calls to continue calling them, especially if they purposely ignored your call, and sent it voice mail.

Most of us use our cell phones as alarm clocks and that's how we wake up in the morning, so activating the "vibrate" settings on the cell isn't a good idea.

If you're one of those people that like to call until you get an answer, rather than leaving a voicemail, STOP IT! It's not cool!

Does Suze Orman REALLY Know What She's Talking About?

Hell Yeah!!!



Nevermind her terrible haircuts, because she knows exactly what smart money management is.

Question: Got a good paying job but always broke?

Got NO money saved?

In your late teens or early 20s, on your own and living check to check?

Got student loans and feel that you're going to be paying them forever?

If you can answer "Yes" to ANY of these, your next step should be purchasing The Money Book for the Young Fabulous & Broke by Suze Orman.



This is not your average money saving book. She goes in detail of what it is an individual needs to learn when it comes to money and everyday life. The book shows you how to get your own personal portfolio on her website, and even tells you what to look for when apartment or house shopping. This book is inexpensive, a must have, and delivers exactly what it promises.

Your Fiance's a Porn Star...And You Don't Know???

Wow...you think you know someone. You fall in love, plan a wedding, and then you find out he's a PORN STAR. ::GASP::


Haylie Hockling found out her fiance, Jason Brake, was making porn, without her knowledge, just weeks before the wedding.

Hockling found out after her friend was organizing her bachelorette party looking for male strippers, and came across a porn clip with Brake and another woman.

Brake told Hockling that he was a personal trainer and and admitted to making adult films on the side before they met.

"There was no way I could marry an adult film star," Hockling said. "I don't know if I will ever be able to trust a man again."

Overreacting much? I bet you weren't complaining when he was throwing that porn star quality penis at you in the bedroom. Mmm hmm.

"The sex side is purely for the camera, but Haylie did not understand I was only acting," Brake said. "I am sorry and did not want to hurt her. I still love Haylie and would have stopped doing porn if she had asked me to."
