| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

 This is and will continue to be one of the livest spots on the Net. It got a little heated during one of the posts this week and some of the regular non-posting viewers felt compelled to come out of the background and express their views. I have absolutely no problem with that, because it is my desire as well as our hostess, Ms. Lolita Files, that no one who comes to experience The Lo Zone will walk away from their time here feeling unwelcomed. If anyone has, you have our most sincere apologies. This experience also reminded me that not everyone likes to play rough. In thinking about this some more last night, I recalled watching my five year old son in his blind pursuit of fun on various visits to the playground occasionally bump into another child and knock them over. Sometimes that kid would cry and sometimes they would hardly notice, but rarely would they let it interfere with them having fun. That is the end that I would hope we would have here. We cover a range of topics here and some of us are very passionate about our views while others are just here to wind down and not be so serious. Either way, I hope that everyone will be considerate of others feelings as we continue to interact. Thereby encouraging others to come aboard for the fun. With that said. I thought I'd share yet another view of how I feel about all of you. The seen and unseen regulars and visitors of The Lo Zone. Grab the persons cyber hand next to yours.  All together now.

That is nice Rich... and in keeping with the spirit of things as we hold hands and sing I ask, "Would you be mine, could you be mine, oh won't you be my neighbor?" And no, that isn't sarcasm. I'm feeling friendly. So smile y'all
:-)

Rich, thanks for the memories. In looking at the video it was surprising how many of these artists are no longer on the scene or have changed (in looks) drastically. A few look better today than then (L. Richie for one) and of course some are no longer with us -- I miss Ray Charles.
Have a great weekend!

We all can get along...
Hey Juandiggity!!!!

well done, Rich...I know it sounds funny...but um...I was just singing this song a couple of days ago.
Though I came to see the topic of the day get kinda out of control with the comments...I'm glad that you saw fit to moderate and bring about a sense of peace amongst the readers..
I applaud your efforts and as a new reader/blogger, I am glad that this is on my daily list of visited sites.
For those of you that are readers and don't comment...I simply ask of you to remember that online conversations may be therapy for everyone...
I visit several blogs daily to make my rounds and show support to several bloggers...and though I enjoy a controversial debatable topic over a nice one anyday...never ever let anyone from cyberspace affect your day enough for you to take it personal. This is afterall entertainment...mixed with comedy and sound intellectual discussions from a myriad of perspectives..
Let's all enjoy each other and continue on the voyage of reaching new heights in literary interests and personal developments.
Take care all..and have fun on the posts!!

hahahahaha

well, after coming in from work this morning...i do my usual ritual, get online, check my email, check my bank acct. to see if any checks bounce (whew! luck'd out today!) stop by the lo zone, see what's up.
at first, all i saw was the we are the world album cover...ahhh, that's nice...scroll down a little further, i find my black ass on point! wtf?!!!!....lol
i figg'd it was probably from wednesday's love post, in which i had to...hell, wanna know, go to wednesday, read it for yourself...anyway, i really haven't gone back to wednesday's post after 32 comments, i replied today with a "grrrr!!!" and moved on.
curiosity got the best of me, so took a trip back to the post...wow! 37 comments, i stopped at 32, but i guess i pissed some mo' people off, enough for them to step out from the shadows and let themselves be known. it's a free country. u-b-u.
for all those who were offended...
i apolo...I AIN'T APOLOGIZIN' FOR SHIT!!!! now, i know some of you probably will get a good hearty laugh outta my comments, while others will cuss up a storm and have spit all over their 'puter monitor, all p'od at the lanceman.
here's my email address:
LP2HLYWD@AOL.COM
... got beef?, wanna air your issues with me? bring it. no doubt, you have my word, the conversation will be civil and open minded. but if the "you asshole" "summa-ma bitch" and "mf's" come out, it's on!...hahaha!!! ;-)
i've chatted with rich and sheletha via email on this issue and they made some valid points on the responses, but as i've always said all along, it's all for shits & giggles....so white folks, put the rope away.... ;-P
now, i know lolita is in the entertainment industry and there are at times i feel like i maybe putting my bourgeoning screenwriting career in jeopardy by the comments i made.
for a minute, i thought i was gonna get in trouble when i made jokes about star "chick'n little" jones-reynolds (c'mon, y'all tell the truth...don't she look like she's picking up some weight? she was "jonesin'" for that fried chick'n...that what it was. i'll put money on the table rite now, that one night, her man al has caught her in the corner of a room on the floor with the bucket of fried burd and a flashlight!)....
....or others like kimora lee "hot dog" aka "petunia pig" simmons or tyler "mammyfest" perry and good lawd, my next EX-WIFE, sanaa lathan. now, sanaa, baby...please stop lettin' these crackkkas kiss all over you...shit they already got halle! DAMN! we can't have nuthin'!!!! then white folks look at us like WE'RE crazy! imma tell you what's crazy, payin' $20 (movie, popcorn & soda) to watch sanaa get freeky this white boy and the two sistah sitting ahead of me giving each other the hi-five! what kinda shit is this? immediately it went from a romantic comedy to a horror film.
now, i quite sure many of you hollywood types will get a laff outta this and you should, but also really think about how those images affect those who are in questioned. can y'all imagine denzel in a movie saying some stupid shit with his boys like..."i can't find no good, quality BLACK women out here"....sisters all over the world and on the moon with hang denzel by his nuts for a dumb ass comment like that!
but i digress....
in life, either people like or they don't...regardless if you're kissin' their ass or givin' them the finger! i'm a creative person by nature and this, as well as other blogs, allowing us creative folks do the damn thing, on the serious tip or just for fugg'n laffs. too much real serious shit that we "can't" do shit about immediately like the war in iraq or black on black crime/drugs/despair in the 'hood. so for me to "wild" out online, don't take it personal just an subjective viewpoint. i may not know where you're coming from but the comments i DO make comes from personal experience that relates to the subject matter. married/divorce. been there...daily care of my daughter/separation from a divorce...been there...homeless. been there. heart broke/depression/suicidal thoughts. been there. i can on and on...just random thoughts on the experiences of one who's been there, done that. i can laff at it now, but when it was going down, only God could have pulled me through it all.
anyway, i hope y'all got the point and the next time one of y'all see sanaa, tell her, her future EX-HUSBAND sed, betta know how to cook, cause i got the drinks on lock! lol...;-)..those that know...know!
one love, peace....2fingaz on the chest. ;-*
