Today I went to orientation for school and I actually enjoyed myself. I met crazy, but motivated people. All of the admissions directors and counselors are nice and very helpful, and they actually made the orientation fun and worth my time. I must admit I'm happy I went cuz I didn't want to! I think I'm really gonna like this school and I have a very good feeling about this. Stay tuned for my first day of school which is the 19th!
Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.
She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.
Recently, Mac's brand of comedy caught him flack when he was heckled during a surprise appearance at a July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate and fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama.
Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine, Mac joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language. The performance earned him a rebuke from Obama's campaign.
But despite controversy or difficulties, in his words, Mac was always a performer.
"Wherever I am, I have to play," he said in 2002. "I have to put on a good show."
Mac started his comedy career at age 8, with a standup performance at a church dinner. In 1977, at age 20, he took that act to comedy clubs in Chicago.
His film career started with a small role as a club doorman in the Damon Wayans movie "Mo' Money" in 1992. Mac went on to star in the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise with Brad Pitt and George Clooney and his turn with Ashton Kutcher in 2005's "Guess Who?" — a remake of the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" — topped the box office.
Mac also had starring roles in "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."
The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.
The series about a man's adventures raising his sister's three children, won a Peabody Award in 2002. At the time, judges wrote they chose the sitcom for transcending "race and class while lifting viewers with laughter, compassion — and cool."
The show garnered Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for Mac. He also was nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy album in 2001 along with his "The Original Kings of Comedy" co-stars, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer.
In 2007, Mac told David Letterman on CBS' "Late Show" that he planned to retire soon.
"I'm going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit," Mac told Letterman. "I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977."
Mac was born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough on Oct. 5, 1957, in Chicago. He grew up on the city's South Side, living with his mother and grandparents. His grandfather was the deacon of a Baptist church.
In his 2004 memoir, "Maybe You Never Cry Again," Mac wrote about having a poor childhood — eating bologna for dinner — and a strict, no-nonsense upbringing.
Mac's mother died of cancer when he was 16. In his book, Mac said she was a support for him and told him he would surprise everyone when he grew up.
"Woman believed in me," he wrote. "She believed in me long before I believed."
I did a photo shoot today for Monte Montez Couture. Its a clothing straight from the DMV and its hot!!!! He has already done tons of fashion shows including a fashion show with Ed Hardy and I felt truly honored to be apart of portfolio. Below are a few pics, enjoy:)
I can't believe its already August! I feel like this year has flew by!!! But what I really can't believe that i'm actually going back to school, and yes this is the third time so hopefully my dumb ass will get it right this time. lmfao. Other than that life has been pretty damn good. I have several projects coming up that I'm pressed about and i have been chillin with old friends again or i guess you could say my real friends. lmfao.
Anyway, my birthday is in 2months and this year I'm going all out, I wanted to have a big party at a club for my 21st but I didn't. So I think that's what i'm gonna do this year, except Im gonna party for a whole week! I'm gonna start on a Tuesday and keep it going till Sunday! I want this one to be unforgettable, being that my bday was ruined last year! I can't wait! Any venue suggestions?
That's all for now, just felt like updating you all. lololol. Oh yeah, before I forget, I will be updating my page sometime this weekend if I have time! New layout and music! Have a wonderful weekend!
So I'm finally getting back in school. yes, once again I will be attending school...we'll see how this goes.lololol. But I'm actually kinda excited. I feel like I have wasted alot of brain cells over the past year so school is definitely a good thing. So starting Aug 18 I will be going to school at Everest College for medical assistance. Now I know some of you are wondering how I decided to go from criminal justice to medical assistance but its simply because the demand for medical assistance in higher than ever right now and there is always gonna be a need for them. If you think about it, people are always gonna be sick, you never hear about doctors and nurses getting laid off. Plus its a good school and its only 8months. I went for my tour yesterday and I was satisfied with what I saw, plus two of my homegirls go there so I won't feel lonely. lmfao. Anyways, I'm excited and I just wanted to share the news:)
I'm tired of niggas calling girls whores. I think we have forgotten the true defintion of a whore.
A whore is a woman who engages in sexual acts for money or a promiscuous, immoral woman.
Now that I have given yall the definition I want to put my two sense in on the topic. I don't see anything wrong with a woman having sex with a man she is not in a relationship with as long as she is not in a relationship herself and he is not in a relationship, and as long as she is not sleeping with a different guy every night or sucking every dick she sees what's the problem? Nowadays a relationship is a foreign language to most men anyway so why not have some fun? Why is it that a man can sleep with a different woman every night and not be considered a whore? Why is it that a man can sleep with 2 girls in the same night and niggas phrase him but if a female says she had sex with 2 different dudes in the same night she is a whore? Now that may not be the best thing for a female to run around saying but how does that make her a whore? If she is happy with what she is doing then let her do her. I don't know, maybe I just don't get it...
