i ain't no holla back guy

Yesterday I had an exam from 7-10 which gave me all day to study. I really didn't end up studying too much and instead I was looking at urbandictionary.com and realized that there was a huge deficit in their definitions: there was no information on what a 'holla back girl' is. I realized how critical this definition was: thousands of people may hear Gwen Stefani's song and search to urban dictionary to figure out what a holla back girl is. Think about the confusion that could arise from girls not knowing if they were holla back or not! So anyway I added the definition [here] but they changed my grammar on the second sentence [which kind of pissed me off because it's wrong] but I'm sure any idiot can figure out what is meant by it. I'm especially proud of the names I chose for the example, which in no way reflect ethnicity. I know plenty of white Jermains. And Aishas. In fact my sister's middle name is Aiesha. Now I can say "I wrote the definition of holla back girl", which isn't something a lot of people can do.

Speaking of ethno-specific names, my friend Tricia and I were in educational psychology a few weeks ago where our feminist lesbian black professor* was giving examples from the WISC [A children's intelligence test] and she was throwing out random questions to the class. One of the questions she asked was "what is the definition of dilatory?"; which [obviously] nobody knew. Since the class was all stupid, we asked her and she bitchilly answered "I'm not going to tell you" - which lead Tricia and I to believe she didn't know. It turns out that it means 'slowly', but I assumed Dilatory was the name of a black chick. Think about it. Can't you picture an angry black mother yelling: "Dilatory-Chanel, you get back here! Don't make me throw my shoe at you!". Tricia and I got a good laugh out of it which spawned a heap of cut-eye from Prof. Everyminority, so I think it's a good thing that I turned down the dare to yell out that answer.

In the same class the Prof. made a girl come up and attempt the easiest puzzle ever in front of the class. Seeing how the girl didn't volunteer and the class was pretty big I think that anxiety hindered her performance, but Prof. Everyminority had to make things worse when she finally finished by saying "Clearly Supna isn't very good at this [this being a puzzle intended for 7 year olds] can we have somebody who's actually good at these [read: smart] come up to the front." Tell me that wouldn't be a blow to your self esteem. Without a doubt, she was the worst professor I've ever had the pleasure of pissing off, but the course is over and now all I have are my memories and less a less than spectacular mark.

*I intend on including her in a future post. Let's suffice it to say that she hated me. To be fair, we never confirmed that she was a lesbian [she mentioned ex-boyfriends] but she made a lot of references to her current "partner".

hey yo,

I've never been to big into gwen stefani. she seems like a bit of a nerd. She was on SNL a month ago and she was so awkward. She was wearing heals and couldn't move, terrible dancer. Kindof like watching a robot 'lean back' and sway to each side.

I'm pretty sure the "rich girl.. nananananana" song is a cover too. I heard a slower more islandish version a little while ago.

back to studying managerial accounting for me. Great prof, just not a fun class.

holla right back atcha boy

Gwen Stefani is hot and cool. Cool cause she has all of those asian slaves, dubbed "Harajuku girls,"
following her around. What else would a sucessfull singer need with a bunch of asians?

Thanks to you cranking that song this afternoon, it's been in my damn head all day.

Congratulations on being one of few undergraduate students to be published. I'm sure the "holla back girl" definition would look great on a résumé.

Here's a shameless plug for my blog --> http://chesterfieldmcfisticuffs.com

it's about damn time you updated this thing.

PEACE

First, Gwen did the rip the song--it's from Fiddler on the Roof. "If I were a rich man...." I'm not digging her anymore now that she's too good for No Doubt.

At any rate, I had a professor once who always talked about his "partner," and we all assumed he was gay. That was until we found out that he a female (and really cool, really feminine) professor were engaged and soon got married. But, I love the "everminority" monicker (I know there's no way I spelled that right).

Ummm Kit Kat.
You clearly don't watch Oprah.
Gwen simply stated she had always wanted to do a dance album. But everything is still cool with No Doubt. So relax, and just enjoy it.

That really was the best class ever! We were so badly behaved! Poor Supna, she probably didn't realize that the tests were "Just like in the real world" Hehehehe. At least I'll always have the memories of correcting "Course Director Everyminority" (that is, everyminority except Supna's) in front of the class. What is it with calling herself the Cruise... I mean...Course Director anyway. Did she expect us to meet on the Lido Deck for our next class?

Whatev, Anonymous. At least I had the guts to attach my name to my opinion. By the way, anytime someone does a solo album they always "say" the band is still together, but it never is.

I have a dream that my readers will one day log onto an internet where they will not be judged by their opinions on Gwen Stefani, but by the content of their character. Can't we all just get along?

Gwen Stefani sucks. No Doubt Sucks. So who the hell cares?

Incase you were just wondering about the 'just like in the real world' comment Tricia made, I'll explain it. In this awful class we had to do group-work, which normally sucks, but we had the most amazing delinquent group and we actually got along [we even went to the bar after our last class]. One of the WISC activities is putting cards in the correct order in terms of seqence of events - some retard in the front of the class didn't understand why the cars changed colour during the sequence [turns out they were moving]. One of my group members, Eileen, yelled 'there's more than one car, it's just like in real life!' - which made our group laugh, but nobody else. That's what you get for putting all of the jerks in the same group Prof. Everyminority.

Yo I didn't really read the blog... But it seems it has something to do with Gwen Stefani... she's pretty... but skinny... Gavin Rossdale was in Constantine... C.S. Fields once said this: "Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water." I hope that answers your questions.

peace out

Ryan, if it weren't for exams, this delay in fresh blogs would be INEXCUSABLE. I'm expecting nothing short of full out LAUGHTER on the next one (or at least a hearty chuckle).

Gwen???? Sephani????
that's gotta be a fake name!

Gavin ?? Rossdale???
man.. he sucked in constantine

anywho, hollaback can't happen unless hollafront happens, but hollafront cannot exist when hollaat happens therefore hollaback consists of hollafront, and hollaat which originated from hollabumbazeekashi from the tribe of boumbozkwhqi

hollaback at me one time

peace

To whoever anonymous is/are:

Ironically enough, you're calling yourself a pussy. It's one thing to be bold enough to claim that those who don't leave their names are pussies, and its another thing (a really stupid thing) to claim something like that and not even leave your name.

Well done!
