First off, watching Coming to America on Bravo. LoL. Love this movie. I prolly shouldn't start of a post with a random thought but I just did. Wanna fight about it?
Anywho, went to a new salon on Wednesday. Was in Chesapeake so like 20-25 minutes with a lil morning traffic. I liked the environment. A lot friendlier than the last place. Got there, and my stylist was ready for me. She washed my hair for me and I would have to give her an A++ for the scalp massage she gave me. Oh-Em-Gee as Curry Chicken would say. Dude. It was something serious. And the shampoo made my scalp all tingly! If it wasn't for the ridiculous price she charged me, I prolly woulda given her a tip. But more on that later.
So anyway, the main thing that was different about this place was that they interlock/latch there. Meaning, that instead of getting a retwist, I got my hair interlocked. Its kinda hard to explain but basically she uses a crochet tool to make knots in my hair. To be completely honest, I'm a little nervous about how that is gonna affect my hair in the long run. The dreads' Godmomma, AKA the stylist who started my locs and has been hooking me up for the past 2 1/2 years, was not pleased. She says the interlocking will eventually make my dreads weaken and fall off. At the same time, a bunch of the stylists there had long locs that looked fine. So we'll see what happens. Not the best at planning for the future. Tend to think of the here and now. I'm not too worried about it. Lmao. Prolly should be tho. That's ok. My hair is strong. J. Pumpkinseed, CERTIFIED SUPERHERO. LoL. Anyway, the stylist was cool and I like how my hair looked afterwards. Definitely looked like the $85 she charged me. That's right! $85. She says that from here on out it'll only be $65 but still, I wish I could get all of that for $35-$45. It's a recession. Oh and another thing, my head was tight! Interlocking is not the most comfortable experience but it's supposed to last longer. Felt like I just got my hair braided. But I'll count this as a win. Black Butterflies in Chesapeake gets a thumbs up. Be prepared to put up some serious cash tho.
Randoms:
1) Went to Burger King on the way to work to grab a quick lunch. Waited in the drive thru line for but 15 mins. I was sooo hungry and could already taste the french fries. Ordered a Whopper Jr. meal only to find out that they were completely out of french fries. Had not one french fry in the entire store. How does that happen!!! The manager should be fired. So I had to get onion rings. I don't make this stuff up, man ...
2) My roomie, Sapphire, has had her car broken into twice in the last week. Once in our driveway, and again on campus. U know what that means right? It's only a matter of time before I get got. I'm gon be soooo pissed when that happens and expect there to be a blog about it.
3) We don't have the standard mailbox in my neighborhood. Our mailboxes are attached to the house, not out by the street. **I wish I had some cookies right now. Ooh. Or maybe a swiss cake roll. Yeah that would hit the spot right now. Lmao. Sorry.** There's no little flag to designate outgoing mail. So the mail carrier actually has to walk up to each house to check the mailboxes for mail. Well we noticed that our mail carrier hasn't been doing that and sometimes our outgoing mail would sit outside for maybe 2-3 days before being picked up. So Sapphire had to go to the post office to pick up a package and told one of the postal workers about the situation. Ur not gonna believe this. She was told that it is not their responsibility/duty to check our mailbox everyday for outgoing mail. They generally only do it when they have to deliver mail. What? I'm sorry but whatever happened to "Neither sleet, nor snow"? They'll deliver in sleet and snow but can't walk up to my house to check and see if I have mail? Isn't that your job? What is the world coming to? Postal workers won't even check my mailbox now. Ridiculous ...
That's it for now, but u know I'll prolly have something new for u in a couple days. Stay classy San Diego.

Omarion & Bow Wow
So the semi-big, semi-irrelevent news in the hip hop world right now is about Bow Wow signing to Weezy's Cash Money Records. Semi-big because Bow Wow and Cash Money prolly should never be mentioned in the same sentence. Why did Bow Wow pick Cash Money? Well, he's prolly tryna change his image. Bow's been tryna grow up and get his G card for a couple years now. Good move for him? Maybe. The real question is: Why in the hell would Cash Money sign Bow Wow? Ummm ... Drawing a blank. Idk what Weezy's thinking on this one. No doubt he was high at the time. I mean last "hit song" (and I use the term loosely) he had was "Marco Polo" with Soulja Boy. One of the stupidest, lamest songs to come out in the past few years. A song about a game we all used to play when we were little kids at the pool? What's next, Freeze Tag?
Plus he wasted everybody's time by collaborating with Omarion on that extra lame Face Off album. Speaking of which, what a great segueway into the next portion of this post.
So, not only did we find out that Bow Wow is signed to Cash Money, but we also found out that Omarion is leavin Cash Money. Hmmm. That's interesting considering nobody knew O was signed to Cash Money in the first place. Prolly cuz he wasn't a good fit. He hasn't put anything out since the aformentioned horrible collabo with Bow. After which he was dropped from his label and sometime after that joined Weezy's crew. Was it supposed to be a secret? I mean I had no idea that Omarion was in Cash Money. Weezy shouts out everybody in his songs. Drake, Jae Millz, Kidd Kidd, Lil Chuckie (a 12 year old). Not once have I heard Omarion get a shoutout. And Weezy has put out hundreds of songs in the past 2 years. That right there should tell u how lame he is. Plus his stage name is stupid. Omari + ion = Omari forever. Are u serious? That is still stupid. Incredibly stupid.
However, whether or not anybody knew Omarion was on Cash Money, the fact of the matter is that he was. Is it a coincidence that he "decided to leave" the label the same week Bow Wow was signed? Sure, if ur a dummy. Supposedly, ever since their failed collabo came out, there's been bad blood between the two. Plus I think Bow made fun of O in a song and it was supposed to be a joke but of course O took it personally. So it wouldn't make sense for the two to be on the same label. Then again it doesn't really make sense for either one of them to be on the label. What's next Weezy? Chris Brown? Nah, better yet, Justin Timberlake? I'm just sayin. Protect ur brand dude ...

What a week ...
Sooooo it's been a minute ....
Sorry.
It's been a crazy week. Work has been long and hard. But ya girl, J. Pumpkinseed loves being a Certified Superhero. Lot of random stuff has happened this week. But then again by now you should know that random things happen to me on the regular. So does that really make them random? Shouldn't that be considered the usual? Idk. Anyways, here comes the list. U know how it goes:
1) Took my first ride in an ambulance a few days ago. Not as exciting as you'd think. Don't worry, I was riding shotty not layin in the back. But yeah not too exciting. Dude didn't even turn the siren on. I shoulda asked him to. Prolly woulda just looked at me like I was crazy. LoL. Next time I'm askin tho. I don't care.
2) Overheard at football practice:
Player 1 (while drinking water): Man this water is good. I been drinkin so much I gotta piss.
Player 2: Yeah. Its nice and cold. Go piss in the port-a-potty.
P1: Nah, I'll just do what I did the other day.
P2: What's that?
P1: I'll piss on myself.
P2: What?!
P1: We were in the middle of inside drills and I had to piss so I just peed on myself.
P2: Dude that's disgusting. You know u prolly got piss all over everybody when u tackled them, right?
P1: Nah man. I sprayed water on myself after I went.
P2: That's still disgusting dude.
[Disturbing right. What's really disturbing is that while there is a huge chance that dude was joking, he is also the type of individual who could be keeping it 100. Said it with such a straight face that I honestly have no idea.]
3) Shoutout to Antigua for suggesting this bomb Caribbean joint. A bunch of us went to this place called MP International Grocery & Restaurant. Food was on point. I had some oxtail with rice and peas. And it couldn't be an authentic Caribbean joint without my Kola Champagne! Prices was good. Service was good. And u know it's real when they got the grocery store and restaurant together. Felt like I was in MIA. Food was almost as good as my Claire's food. I stress the almost part. Ain't nothin better than mom's. Bottom line: I will be going there again. And again. And again.
4) Got a flat tire yesterday. Down the street from my house. In the rain. No biggie tho because Cliff taught me how to change a flat (See? I do listen). However, he didn't tell me what a lugnut key is so I was struggling with the last lugnut for a while. In the rain. Luckily, I finally caved in and called Cliff to figure out what was goin on. LoL. Please tell me I'm not the only one walkin around who had never seen a lugnut key before. Learn something new everyday. Sometimes in the rain.
5) Found out that I like Arbor Mist. A lot.
6) Saw Pamela, the Granby Street Hula Hoop Lady. That's right, she's still hula hoopin. It was hot outside too. I might have to stop and buy her a Gatorade next time. Don't want her getting dehydrated.
7) In other update news, I went back to Popeyes. Usually I go inside so I can check my food cuz they always mess it up. But this time I decided to go thru the drive thru cuz it was dark and its in a sketchy neighborhood. I put in my usual order and pull up to the window. Who do I see? Only the cashier that was working the night of the Popeyes Fiasco! I thought for sure that her and LaShonda were fired cuz I hadn't seen them in a minute. I asked her if they had had anymore fires recently and she tells me no. Then she looks up and realizes who I am. Next thing I know, she's calling Shonda over to the window and we're all laughin it up. So after all this, you'd think that I was gettin my meal for free. Erroneous. If I'd gone inside it woulda been one thing. However, since I went thru the drive thru and it was already in the system, no free food for me. Of course.
8) I'm trying out a new hair salon. Yes, I realize that its only been a week and a half since the last horrible retwist. Don't remind it. But it doesn't matter because it looks like its been a month and a half. This place is a little pricey but Antigua recommended it and she came thru on the Caribbean food so things are looking good. Stay tuned ...
So that's what's been up. I'm prolly forgetting a bunch of stuff but that's all I feel like typing. Grad school starts in a week. Between now and then I guarantee u a million different things will happen that are blog worthy. And if I told u once, I told u a thousand times, I do not make this stuff up!

Just Pure Craziness
1) Soo ... I live in Norfolk. I work at a local university. (Not saying where cuz idk who reads my blog and ppl are crazy). Anywho, I tried to go home from work yesterday and couldn't make it more than a mile from campus. Why, you may ask? Because it rained for about 5 hours straight. Not only did I get soaked at football practice and have no clothes to change into, I couldn't go home and change. The drainage system around here needs some serious improvement. If it wasn't for my homie K Pheezy I woulda had to sleep in the training room. I had to leave poor Sepia (my car) on campus and ride with him. Couldn't let my baby drown in the water. Think i'm exaggerating? I keep tellin u I don't make this stuff up. Check out the video: http://hamptonroads.tv/hrtv.php?id=5584681
2) Random thought: Why aren't Braille letters in the shape of regular letters? Why was it necessary to come up with a whole new set of dots for letters? That Braille dude was a hustla ...
3) Was I the only kid who read those Cam Jansen mystery books in elementary school? She was a kid detective who used her photgraphic memory to solve crimes. Great books. I was a nerd growing up. Anyway, she reminds me of a co-worker who uses her photographic memory to find my keys when I lose them. Lmao. Inside joke.
Lamest Commercial ... Ever
By far the lamest commercial I ever seen. Idk what else to say. What the hell were they thinking? Every time it comes on I feel like picking my TV up and smashing it on the ground. Who is the guy at Nike that gives this stuff the thumbs up? Cuz he needs to be fired. We're in a recession. Only the strong survive.
Fresh Retwist ... Or Not ...
So the name of this blog is The Dread Thread so I should prolly talk about my hair every now and then, right? Right. So here's the current info on the dreads. About shoulder length now. (Longer than the dreads of a certain superhero). Anyway, since I moved I have to find a new stylist. I could do my own hair if I had to but I don't have the time and it wouldn't come out looking the way I want it. Fresh. I've been trying to look around at other ppl with dreads that look really nice and ask them but I haven't seen any that really impress me. Well I take that back. Anytime I see a lady with nice dreads she tells me that she does them herself. Of course. So I resorted to the yellow pages online and found a place called Masusu Kinks. They had a website. Looked at the pics and was impressed. Sounds good right? Well usually things aren't as good as they seem. The plot thickens...
1) Called in to the salon to make my appt even tho they have an online scheduler. Wierd for a hair salon. Was greeted by a automated operator whom after pressing 1 several times connected me with an actual person. She made my appt and told me I was all set. However, never told me the name of my stylist. Shoulda been my first clue.
2) The address on the website and the actual address were different. They had just moved to a new location. No big deal. I got the new address and put it in the GPS. However, there were no signs that really gave me a clue as to which building it was. I finally called after driving around for 20 mins. Her response: "Well we have a sign out front that says 'All braids $175.'" I finally find the place and see 1 ft cardboard sign sticking out of the grass and hidden behind a bunch of parked cars. Clue #2
3) I walk in and there are 3 stylists and 3 clients. 2 girls gettin their hair braided and a dude sittin under the dryer. So one of the stylists is just chillin. They look at me with a puzzled look and ask if I have an appt. No "Hi, how are you?" No "Good morning." Now I've had an appt for 3 days and have been looking forward to this. The girl who's just chillin begrudgingly gets up from her chair and checks the computer. Then she says, "Ok, that'll be $35." I'm like ok. I already knew the price. Then she says it again, "That'll be $35," and pops the cash register open. I had to pay before she even touched my head! Who does that?!?!
4) When I finally do get my hair washed and she starts to retwist it, it sucks! She is just twistin my dreads with her hand. Like she's twirling her hands in my hair. WTF?! Can I get a palm roll? Can I get a comb coil? Can u ACT like u know what ur doing? And on top of that, she kept flickin my wet dreads in my face and hitting me in the eye! She really tried me ya'll! In the end I was really pissed about my hair. Looks like I did it. Which isn't horrible but if I pay to get my hair done, I want it to look like I paid to get my hair done?
Wasn't a total loss tho. I went to Virginia Beach the next day and got my hair wet but didn't even care. That's how bad it was. Yesterday, at practice, I got completely soaked by some torrential downpour. I thought I was in the middle of a hurricane. If my retwist was good I woulda been heated and not have had as much fun at the beach. So everything worked out. Shouts out to Denisha, my stylist back in Gainesvegas. She made my dreads what they are today. I wish I could teleport u up here to do my hair.
So, I gotta look elsewhere. Which sux. I was hoping that I would find the right spot the 1st time. Life is hard.

TV Rots Ur Brain
Those of u who know me well know that I watch a lot of really random shows. I'm really into reality TV which I'm actually kinda embarrassed to admit. But it's the truth so whatever. Either way, I watch a lot of random shows that you'd probably never expect me to watch. Good ones and bad ones. Idk why I watch the bad ones. Probably boredom. I do a lot of stupid things out of boredom.
Thumbs up:
Real Housewives of Atlanta: If u have never seen an episode, just watch the Season 2 premiere. The last 5 mins are crazy! People wit money are just as crazy if not crazier than people without money.
Wife Swap: Hilarious. I could watch this show all day. Where do they get these ppl? Since when is it okay to not make ur kids do chores or take showers everyday? Some ppl are just nasty. But so entertaining.
Thumbs down:
Whale Wars: Idk why I watch this show. It just shows like 50 ppl living on tiny boat chasing around like 5 huge Japanese whaling ships in the Antarctic Ocean. They have no weapons. All they do is get close to them and throw stinkbombs on deck. They never really catch them tho. All they do is annoy the hell outta them. Like I said, idk why I watch. It's prolly one of the lamest shows on TV right now. I guess I watch because I keep hoping that one day it'll actually be good. Never happens. **This just in: The Japanese killed a whale on the Sea Sheperds watch. Proof again that this show sux**
Random Shows u never woulda thought that I watch:
Fraiser: Idk why but I actually think its funny
Seinfeld: Again, I actually think it's funny. Prolly seen every episode.
Iron Chef: I like watching ppl cook food fast. I learn nothing from the shows tho.
Deadliest Catch: I love this show! Sooo good. Don't knock it til u watch it.
Ok so since I'm talking about tv shows ... I have to mention Phineas and Ferb. Peter Parker and Curry Chicken love this show. Idk why. I guess I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not nerdy enough. LoL. J/k. I'm joking. But seriously, what is it about this show? Am I just missing out? Tell me please. What is it? If I get good enough explanations, I will start watching the show. Otherwise, I'll continue to think that it's lame.

Local Celebrity
So a couple things have been brought to my attention:
1) People actually read my blog. LoL. What's that? Oh, how do I know? Well that brings me to point #2
2) I was informed today that the previously mentioned hula hoop lady is actually a local celebrity. Here I was thinking that I just randomly saw this lady gettin down on the median. In actuality she is known in these here parts as The Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street. She gets down wit the getdown everyday in the same spot. Who woulda thought? I passed a local celebrity and didn't even know it.
a) Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street got into an altercation with the local police recently when someone complained that her boombox was too loud. They ended up tazing her. So unnecessary. The Po Po stay trippin ... Don't believe me? They got the whole thing on tape. Check out the link: http://www.hooping.org/archives/001909.html. Anywho, now you know a little bit more about the 757. I just put a wrinkle in ur brain. You're welcome.
Oh, shoutout to Steph for telling me about the Hula Hoop Lady. Thanks pimpin. U learn something new everyday.
**THIS JUST IN!!! Steph hooked me up with another video. Here u can actually see Hula Hoop Lady in action: http://www.wvec.com/video/index.html?nvid=354322&shu=1 **
1) People actually read my blog. LoL. What's that? Oh, how do I know? Well that brings me to point #2
2) I was informed today that the previously mentioned hula hoop lady is actually a local celebrity. Here I was thinking that I just randomly saw this lady gettin down on the median. In actuality she is known in these here parts as The Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street. She gets down wit the getdown everyday in the same spot. Who woulda thought? I passed a local celebrity and didn't even know it.
a) Hula Hoop Lady of Granby Street got into an altercation with the local police recently when someone complained that her boombox was too loud. They ended up tazing her. So unnecessary. The Po Po stay trippin ... Don't believe me? They got the whole thing on tape. Check out the link: http://www.hooping.org/archives/001909.html. Anywho, now you know a little bit more about the 757. I just put a wrinkle in ur brain. You're welcome.

Got beef?
Ur girl J. Pumpkinseed, Certified Superhero has been known to get along with pretty much anybody and everybody. Right now tho, I got some major beef ... with the United State Postal Service. That's right. I'm bout to go postal on the mailman tomorrow if he don't have my licensure papers in his hand. And i don't discriminate, if its a mailwoman, I'll go postal on her too. It has been 11 ... count 'em! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 days since my packet was sent from Florida. Shoot, I coulda drove for Norfolk to Gainesville, stopping and spending a night in each state there and back and still made it back before then! You'd think that they was hand delivering my stuff from China! I should build a raft and sail the Atlantic Ocean! My stuff shoulda been got here! Yes, I know that was horrible grammar. Sometimes its just necessary. I needed it here yesterday but I'll give them til tomorrow. If not I'll be goin down to the local post office with a can of gas and a match. Joking. Don't call the cops. Gotta put the disclaimer. Haters are often snitches too and I ain't tryna catch a case. LoL.
I also currently got beef with MTV for givin Diddy all these TV shows. Are ya'll serious? Am I the only person who thinks that he sux as both a label head and a rapper? I can't be. I know I'm not. Name a successful artist on his label other than Day 26 ... It's ok. I'll wait ... Nope, can't say Danity Kane. Don't you dare say Donnie Klang. And if you said Cassie, then you need to reevaluate ur definition of the word success. Have u seen Cassie lately? She look half crazy. Emphasis on the word half. Lmao. Google Cassie hair. 112 left a looong time ago. Loon converted to Islam and is now known as Amir Junaid Muhadith. New Edition left. Shoot even B5 left Bad Boy. He does a horrible job of promoting his groups because at the end of the day it all comes back to Diddy. Now he's talkin bout doin this "concept album" What the hell is that? called The Last Train to Paris. U know this is just gonna be a repeat of his last album Press Play in which he featured someone on every song. Even Diddy know he can't carry a song by himself. So MTV why are u continuing to give this man show after show after show? Let's promote a talented, true mogul. I'd definitely watch a show bout Jay-Z. Sean Carter is an all around mogul. Sean Combs is not. Bottom Line. All that being said, as I write this, I am watching "Making His Band." Lmao. True story. Aye, but I refuse, I say I refuse, to watch this new Superstar show MTV giving him. That's just ludicrous poppycock.
My last beef is with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. I went to get my Virginia driver's license today. I was turned away because I didn't have a passport or birth certificate. They needed to prove that I was a US citizen. What? I had my Florida driver's license, my military ID, my social security card, and proof of address. Wtf? What more proof do I need? U want a blood sample too? And it was the DMV so u know I had to wait half an hour to be turned away. And they had us waiting outside the building too. In the heat. Man, I hate the DMV. Also ludicrous poppycock.
Those are my current beefs or as Peter Griffin would say: what really grinds my gears. The only thing that I really want to happen is for my package to arrive. Tomorrow. I'll get the driver's license eventually. And Diddy will forever be on MTV. Unfortunately.
