Diary of the Bougie Broad

Life through the eyes of a young, quirky, intelligent, bougie broad.

Bougie.  Snobby.  Bratty.  Spoiled.  Uppity.  Pretentious.  Stuck up.  Snotty.  Self-centered.  Vain.  Conceited.  Sadiddy.  Bitchy.  Selfish.  Yes I have heard them all.  Do these words truly describe me? Not so much.  But either way, these words and many others, have shaped my thinking, how I see the world, and how I live my life.  My blog entries are not meant to be deep, educational, or life changing.  Rather just thought provoking.  I want to foster conversation (good or bad).  Thank you for gracing me with your presence (or should you be thanking me...hmmmm... just kidding!)
 

Michael Vick vs. LiLo

You knew it was only a matter of time before I gave my two cents regarding this damn Vick case.  First let me start off by saying that I am in NO WAY supporting what Michael Vick did to those poor dogs (but let's be real, he isn't the first person in Virginia to dog fight).  I do think he gets the prize for the being the dumbest athlete this year; talk about being self destructive and stupid.  Organized dog fighting has a maximum penalty of up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  While Vick will probably on spend 12 to 18 months in jail, LiLo will probably only serve 4 days in jail for her TWO DUIs and cocaine possession.  Does anyone see a problem with this? 

I really get annoyed with white Hollywood.  They always seem to get off with a slap on the wrist.  Look at Paris Hilton, now LiLo.  I'll be interested to see what happens with Nicole Richie.  I mean seriously drunk driving is extremely dangerous and to get caught twice and only receive 4 days in jail is ridiculous.  I'm going to leave it at that...

On the funnier side (if there is one) my mom called me this morning to say that Steve Harvey was talking about if Johnnie Cochran was still living, Vick would have gotten off.  He's probably right... look at O.J., Diddy, Snoop, Todd Bridges?  Johnnie would have had prosecutors believing that they weren't any dogs in the first place!

      Regarding Nicole Richie...I read yesterday that this chick spent 82 minutes in jail. I mean, yes, she's pregnant...but WTH?...Pregnant women have been forced to go to jail for committing crimes before...the only thing that makes her different is her "celebutante" status. These dumbasses need to get a grip.

      Alright, re: Mike Vick, I haven't, don't, and never will like or support the man-- this doesn't even go into dogfighting or his athletic career (someone close to me once met him and their feedback was that he was a jerk - that's word enough for me)-- that said... yeah, he's dumb for getting caught up in the wrong ghetto/country/bama-a$$ crowd he should've dropped off at the curb when he started making his millions, but what can you expect? He's major for playing football, not curing a disease or developing an alternative fuel source. His actions and mishaps up to this point have put him into the 'dumb jock' category, which is sad enough b/c he's been a supposed role model for black kids of the last few years. I saw something like this coming for him, but I would've never thought it'd be some animal cruelty stuff. On the flip side, his lawyers must be finally getting through to him, b/c he's pleading to conspiracy and gambling but not the dogfighting-- either way, he's already guilty in the court of public opinion.

      As for these so-called divas on the blotter, I know it's gotta be a racial divide there. Lil' Kim spent a year in the joint for not "snitching", Foxy Brown just got arrested (again) for assault and will likely do some time-- but Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan ("LiLo?", LOL! why did I think that was the little girl from the Disney movie?) get a slap on the wrist and are still free to rampage within the public, terrorizing us folk who have real lives and real jobs?

      No disrespect, but Justice is a blind-a$$ broad.
