watch: all of the whites parody

I'm not sure if DJ X sent this to me because he's making fun of me for being white or because he knows on the inside I'm really not white, and either way I'm going to find this hysterical.

This guy did a parody of Kanye West's "All of the Lights," and it's all about white people and the stupid s#!* we do. Make sure make it to verse 3, that one is my favorite.



I mean, III don't like the beer for its taste... But I might get in your face for one reason or another after two cases. SO WHAT?!

It's a shame the chorus is the worst part, but I'm not mad about it. Someone texted me last night saying I should never be embarrassed of being white and I'M NOT! [Mostly because I'm not white, duh.]

nifty: wewood wooden watches

Tweet Fellow ex-TJ and Monday Mojo Mixer DJ X tweeted a picture about his new watch, and I just HAD to check more of them out.

It's a wooden watch! And it's hella fly!

The best part: There are TONS of options online, all for the same price of $119! [Maybe a little steep for the average broke person, but it's a watch! A watch that everyone will be talking about!]


Girls can totally wear some of these, too! I definitely would if I had a Sugar Daddy to buy me one!

Plus, who doesn't like an attention grabber and ice breaker?!

Buy it. For you, for your lover, anyone. And then make me jealous.

the premiere of monday mojo with dj x

Tweet If you haven't been paying attention on Twitter, DJ X and I are planning to take over the world.

...the Entertainment world, anyway.

Step 1: Getting him to mix on my show.

Once a week he's going to produce the Monday Mojo Mix, which will give you something to look forward to every Monday instead of the typical "it's just another Manic Monday."

Some awesome 90's music. An awesome mix DJ. An awesome radio personality [I really don't want to say that, but I feel obligated]. It's basically the equation for greatness.

Enjoy it now. Download it. Enjoy it for years to come.

the justice department needs ebonics translators

TweetWhen ya look at a list of translator job openings for the Justice Department, you don't expect to see "Ebonics" as one of the languages... but it's there.

They're looking for people in Atlanta to help translate the slang language, leavint The Smoking Gun to say what's "appropriate":

"Ebonics has widely been described as a nonstandard variant of English spoken largely by African Americans. John R. Rickford, a Stanford University professor of linguistics, has described it as "Black English" and noted that "Ebonics pronunciation includes features like the omission of the final consonant in words like ‘past' (pas' ) and ‘hand' (han'), the pronunciation of the th in ‘bath' as t (bat) or f (baf), and the pronunciation of the vowel in words like ‘my' and ‘ride' as a long ah (mah, rahd)."

It's hilarious to me. Will Ebonics become a class kids can take in school?! COLLEGE, even?! I'd so sign up and get an A++! Maybe they'll even offer an AP version.

To add to the laughter that is this job posting, take a listen to a promo for the job: [NSFW]



So perfect.

I wonder how it pays... If it's good, I'm OUTTA HEA! Or... I'll tell DJ X to take the job... He's in ATL, after all.

the mtv tj finale

What. A. Weekend. You know I went to NYC for the MTV TJ finale, but what you don't know is what all went down. There are tons of pictures and more on EB IRL, but I'll share a quick bit of behind-the-scenes info of the show with you here.

The set of the finale was absolutely incredible. It was a "winter wonderland" of sparkles, as one of the X TJ's said. We walked in to check it out, met Sway, our casting director, publicist, and more, then did an interview with Mashable. We felt special again, to say the least.

They sat us right in front of the stage so we'd be able to experience this with the top 5 as much as possible and I couldn't thank them enough for that. I was flashing "I love you" signs to the five of them throughout the show and constantly yelling to them. I guess I was trying to be the sideline cheerleader or something.

My super-awesome seat came with a cost, though. I had to squeeze and share with Kayki while a cameraman sat right next to us. Plus side: I got a close-up on TV! Make that 6? times I've been on MTV! WOOHOO!

As a former TV news person, I constantly had to read my lines out loud to perfect them, but I always felt weird. Finally, Mr. Cool Guy Sway started practicing his over and over again. It made me feel normal. Then again, he also nailed everything when the show went live. Sometimes my tongue gets jumbled.

I really have no complaints of the show besides that Jose was shown the results before they were announced. They accidentally flashed the results and he saw them, immediately hiding his face. I can't even imagine the feeling he had going through him. Luckily no one else had to find out that way.

Gabi was crowned the first ever TJ as her gorgeous, identical family joined her on stage. I'm SO excited for her! She's going from having no bed to a $100,000 salary. I don't see her forgetting where she came from or having a big head. She's an amazing person and she'll do great interacting with everyone.

X and Dannielle were both awesome, too. I had NO idea how funny Dannielle was, but she had me rollin'. X was the most cool, calm, collected person there. He was introduced first and he was jumpin up and down like he was about to enter the ring. I'm envious of his confidence for sure.

Within ten minutes of the show ending, the five were upstairs doing press interviews, we were being shoved out the door, and half the set was gone. It's pretty incredible how quickly they can tear so much stuff down.

It was also like a cliche analogy to how quick this all came to an end. Or started and happened, even. It was exactly two months from my first call to the top 5 announcement, and it's only been two weeks since then. It's been a very fast blur.

Again, thank you to everyone who helped me do everything I did this summer. I can't say it enough, but I'll stop hassling you about it now.

love,
elizabethany
