Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

ETA 2: And nobody better say a thing about me looking like Sideshow Bob and sounding like Galvatron tomorrow either.

I will set motherfuckers on fire.

"Young Diamonds Books is the premiere urban publishing company targeted to young adults. It is the first publishing house that will introduce street literature or “hip-hop” lit as it has been dubbed by the media, with no explicit language, violence or graphic sexual content. This has been called a groundbreaking product for our youth by educators, clergy and parents."

No violence or sexual content? That's an interesting way to put it. Arrrgh! This is what is being sold to our young girls while comic and manga companies ignore them! Or bleach them out of existence. I knew this was going to happen! I told you it was happening when these girls were reading books made for adults. And now the publishing houses are making lines just for their age group. With all the sex and materialism intact, of course. I am so fucking angry and hurt and frustrated. Because I'm completely powerless to do anything about it. That's not true. I fight back. We always fight back. But it's like fighting against a tank with a handful of rocks. Like trying to rein in a hurricane by inhaling. It's not working. We don't have the support of the major publishing houses. We don't get the book deals. Unless we take the Lil' Kim route.

God, I'm so fucking depressed.

The Lost Supermarket.

"A continuing decline in the number of neighborhood supermarkets has made it harder for millions of New Yorkers to find fresh and affordable food within walking distance of their homes, according to a recent city study. The dearth of nearby supermarkets is most severe in minority and poor neighborhoods already beset by obesity, diabetes and heart disease."
