The Notorious B.I.G.

R.I.P. NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

Twelve years after his passing, the new movie entitled "Notorious," chronicling the one and only Notorious B.I.G.'s life, is coming to theaters Friday, January 16, 2009. Due to its R-rating I cannot view the delicious Biggie Smalls biography at this time. Instead, I'm blogging.
I'm bringing the BIG life of Biggie Smalls to the attention of my lil, white female friends. It's the least that I can do in honor of a glorious life lived and ended in the name of NOTORIOUS.

The following is a collection of photos I have carefully gathered since the passing of Biggie on March 4, 1997.

Here Biggie is, doin' what Biggie do bestBiggie, so articulate
Here Biggie can be seen dwelling in the hip-hop heavens with some other Rap giants you may or may not have heard of. 2 Pac for example

Biggie was lux. Ultra lux. Don't mess with Biggie lux.

Action Figure biggie. As you can see, Biggie get much action. Take that how you will


Biggie speaks the stories of the heart.

Prom Night

Who Do YOU Think I Look Like?

As long as I can remember people have told me I look like someone else, famous or no. Once, while I was attending BYU I met a young man who insisted that I was currently in a class with him that I had never heard of. It happens all the time, at the mall, at school and at church.
Upon my transition to the University 16th ward of Salt Lake City I found it common and almost inevitable that each person I met would relate me to a famous person.
For example, Nick Boyer insists that I look exactly like Feist.
Brother Wonderly, of the bishopric, says I look like Liv Tyler.And another girl, who's name escapes me, told me I looked like someone on The Gilmore Girls, like maybe a friend of Rory's of something.
You get the idea.
So now I want to know....
Who do you think I look like?

Guess Who Has DSL!!!

That's right, ladies and gents.
Hayley Labrum has rejoined the world of the internet middle-class.
Mummy ordered DSL for the new year and since I have a wireless router I now have internet on my laptop once again. No more extended trips to the library or crying when I spent seven hours writing a blog only to have the page time out or disappear altogether.
There's a word for what I feel...
HALELUJAH!

snow. Christmas.

Christmastimeishere

Isn't it great? Cold?
So I really like Christmas time, I really do. I hate snow, I hate being cold, and I hate driving in nasty weather (witness: accident Dec. 8, 2008.) Those things are completely separate from Christmas, some would argue snow is inseparable, but they are wrong.
Why, you might ask? Because I said so.
I'm always right.
And, I think Christmas is more than all the glam (yes, snow IS beautiful, but If I was swearing woman I would say "snow is a B____." And Christmas is more than all the gifts and the bling bling and the what not.
I'm wishing everyone a Merry Christmas through my blog, 'cause it's the only way you'll take me seriously...actually....I just realized that no one will take this seriously either...but it's like the time when we were all talking about homosexual marriage and I said "but it's such a beautiful thing to find someone you want to be with, marry them, and be with them for the rest of your life, knowing that they'll be with you on everything, sharing in everything, and I can't wait to have that," and we all just sat there quietly for a moment until I burst out laughing and Stephanie said "I was like 'yeah, that is nice..." until you started laughing, then I didn't know if you were serious anymore."
It's like that, see, I'm serious, but I have to laugh at myself because of how cheesy it sounds, and that I'm the least cheesy person I know. I hate cheesiness. But, as my friend Karina once told said, "you taught me that you can make fun of something and still like it at the same time."
What I'm trying to say is,
Merry Christmas My darlings, I love you all dearly.
If you want to know how I feel about Christmas and Jesus, you will have to refer to your video library. Mr. Krueger's Christmas, therein lies the heart of Christmas. Jimmy Stewart breaks my heart as he approaches the baby Jesus. His intensity and love are exactly how I feel. It's real, you know? those kinds of feelings.... and I love it.

Goings-on, if you will

Sorry Nikki, Missy, Meg, etc., you just were not there (in reference to the above photo)
I have many, many photographs I wish to post.
I am limited on time and patience, so I will see what I can do.
It has been a busy fall my friends, what with the election of the next president of the U.S. of A., Hallowizzeen, trips and the like. My life seems to be spiraling more and more out of control with each passing week. Luckily I have some work for the next couple of weeks, so that should be good.
Look at Dani's stoic gaze, she's probably thinking about an Arby's melt.
You know, fun in a grocery cart.
Sexy lady, right? More like Ghettogeekgirl

This is my friend Jamee and me. Mostly for Dani, who always asks who she is. We've known eachother since I was six months and she was five months.
This is me after I voted. That smile is because I voted for the lesser of the two evils knowing all too well he had no chance in H-E-double hockeysticks of winning.

K bye
