Liberty Lost in a Translation (Pt. 1)

Liberty was glad when everyone left her house. She decided to walk down the street of 130th and Amsterdam St. When she decided to head back to grab some coffee, it started to rain and than several lighting flashed across the sky. She ran for cover but all of a sudden bumped into this guy. Liberty almost fell into the streets until he grabbed her and pulled her in close to him. “You okay? He said. Liberty just stared at him with her mouth open. He was the most gorgeous creature she has ever seen. “Yea, y—yea!” She said stuttering. He laughed a little than told her she can stand with him under the umbrella. She agreed to do that. It felt like forever, actually 20 minutes until he said, “do you want to get out of this rain and go the coffee shop across the street?” She agreed to go.

After running across the street and getting soak and wet, she was ready for that big cup of coffee. He waved to the waitress and ordered two big cups. She looked at him and was wondering was he reading her mind or something. Liberty looked away quickly when he looked at her. “What is your name?” she said curiously. “Lil Street” he replied to her. Her mind was racing and he finally took her wet coat of her. She blushed and turned to look away. He laughed watching how this lady look so innocent but yet seem like a woman in every sense. Her lips were so small but yet so kissable and her long hair that looked straight but the rain now has made it really curly. He could tell by her hard nipples that she was cold and need some serious comforting. Her wet clothes left no trace unturned and can see her every curves. He need to look away before his partner in crime started showing its head.



“So, Lil Street? What is that you exactly do? Oh! By the way my name is Liberty. I didn’t mean to be rude by not telling you my name.” She said. “I am a stereo installer, and a student. How about you?” Liberty looked at him and said, “I am a record label owner.” He had a shocked look on his face. “Oh, must be fun.” He turned away to put some distance between that information he found out. Liberty made a quick phone call to her assistant and was getting ready to leave when Lil Street got up and held her hand, he said, “Where are you going? When can I see you again?” Liberty turned to him and said, “I don’t know” then she ran out the door to catch a cab. Lil Street was determined to find her and make Liberty his.

Liberty was in the cab when she was like, I can’t believe this. I let this guy from nowhere get me coffee and we actually talked. What was I thinking? She said to herself. The cab driver turned around and told her they were at the place. She paid him and jumped out of the cab and ran to her townhouse. The rain wouldn’t let up for 4 more hours. She didn’t answer the phone and just sat by the window and looked out into the dark, cold streets. Next thing you know the doorbell rang and she went to answer the intercom when on the other end was Lil Street was at the end and said, “Liberty! It’s me Lil Street open up it’s cold out here.” Liberty was excited but at the same time kind of worried on how he found her. She said, “Why should I? I just had coffee that’s all and how did you find me?” “All good questions but if you would like to know the answers let me in, Please.” He stood there for a minute than the door was unlocked and she was standing in the doorway with a purple tee and boxers on. “I’m listening,” she said. He grabbed her and kissed her passionately like she was never kissed before. “Oh!” she said all nervous. She let him in and they sat in the living room. Lil Street was looking around and turned to her “You live here alone?” and she responded, “Yes, all to myself. Why?” “No wonder you ran into me” Liberty looked at him and was about to ask him why when he asks where the kitchen was and if there was anything to drink hot. She went to the cabinets to find some hot cocoa. He had her sit down and took over the kitchen and made them some hot cocoa. “You shouldn’t be here, Lil Street”, said Liberty; “I am suppose to be excepting a marriage proposal from another guy.” He looked at her “but you haven’t excepted?” “No, I haven’t” He laughed and said, “What’s taking you so long to answer him than?” “It’s not funny. I don’t know why I am not happy,” she said to him in tears. “Have you thought maybe he wasn’t meant for you?”

Liberty got up and wanted to change the subject and he didn’t push it. She went into the living room and asked him if he wanted to see a movie and he was cool with that. They sat in the living room, where she found a vamp movie and asked him if he wanted some popcorn. He agreed to that and got the movie ready. Lil Street asked Liberty if she was planning on sitting way over there. She got up and sat next to him and he put his arm around her. Liberty just laid her head on his shoulder and pulled the blanket up. He was wondering if the fireplace worked because he could start it up for her, if she was cold. She told him to go ahead and she will pause the movie. Liberty waited patiently for him to finish and he came to sit right back in his spot. They sat in silence watching the movie together. Her phone rang and she didn’t want to answer it, so she let it ring. Then the doorbell rang and she got up paused the movie and went to the door upset. Jack was standing there and she was even more bewildered at the thought that he just got out of the hospital and went to her house unannounced. “Are you going to ask me in?” said Jack. “No, I am not. You just can’t come here and thinking its okay! I have company over and you have to leave I am still upset with you!” Lil Street got up to see what all the commotion was about. Jack looked at him and he was asking Liberty if she was okay. Jack yelled, “Who are you and what are you doing at my fiancée’s house?” Liberty jumped in and said, “Who the hell do you think you are, I haven’t accepted your proposal and I wasn’t planning too! Get out now!” Lil Street was going to leave but she turned to him and told him to please stay. He was thinking about it than he went to the living room and sat down to wait for her. Jack was dumbfounded and was totally angry with her. He turned around and left walking down the street. He vowed that he wouldn’t give up so easily. He didn’t know whom that guy was but he wasn’t going to let him have her neither.

Liberty slammed the door and she apologized to Lil Street and he told her not to worry about it. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him and looked into her eyes and kissed her so softly that she felt like she was on the famous cloud nine. This man has captured her heart with every kiss and touch. What is she going to do?

Joel Madden & Nicole Richie with Harlow Madden

I think they make the most cutest couple. These pictures were in the Harper Bazaar Magazine, and I was like WOW! I love the picks and apparently they didn't get paid for them. That puts them in a totally different league I guess.



Makes me want to have another kid. I love babies when they are that small. They seem very happy and in love with one another.

Mariah & Nick Cannon

The first time appearance since their marriage on Thursday Night at the "100 Most Influential People in the World".

Watch the Upper Cut, Arnold!

This was in the Variety in Cali from Ugly Betty Crew to California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

To Whom it Should Concern
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Members of the State Senate and State Assembly, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Los Angeles City Council, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors:

We are writing to you because we just lost our jobs. We are the 300 plus members of the crew of the television show Ugly Betty. We were informed this Tuesday that the production of our show is moving to New York primarily because of the 35% tax incentives being offered by the state of New York. Instead of making good wages and paying our fair share of California state income tax, we will all be collecting Unemployment Benefits. In addition, we will certainly be cutting our spending back to the bone, which will not only cut back our sales tax contributions substantially, but it could end up costing the jobs of the people who provide services and products to us. Not only are these crew positions being lost; all of our local vendors are losing our business.

Our production buys: lumber, paint, wallpaper, cabinets, other building materials, office products, fabric, art supplies, computer equipment, food, beverages, flowers, film, makeup & hair products, wigs, insurance, jewelry, clothing, etc.

Our production rents: lighting equipment, sound equipment, video playback equipment, heavy machinery, office equipment, backdrops, costumes, furniture, scenery, props, soundstages, offices, parking facilities, cars, trucks, storage facilities, computers, camera equipment, grip equipment, editing equipment, drafting equipment, cell phones, computers, toilets, dumpsters, live plants, production trailers, tools, hardware, artwork, walkie talkies, etc.

Our production also uses the services of: dry cleaners, printers, location companies, Special Effects companies, utilities, caterers, payroll services, restaurants, security, Post Production Services, Clearance Houses, etc.

When we shoot on locations around Los Angeles we pay for permits; we pay homeowners & businesses for the use of their property, we hire police and fire department personnel, we pay for facility engineers, etc.

So, while the loss of our individual positions may be insignificant, the loss of this production is staggering. Now multiply this by all the other productions going to New York, New Mexico, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina and other states with incentives, not to mention Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Eastern Europe, etc. and the cost to the California state economy is monumental. We implore you to do everything in your power to level the playing field and bring our jobs back to California by enacting meaningful incentives to keep film and television production in our state.

Sincerely yours
The Crew of Ugly Betty

Vampire Knight-New Anime Series

Yuki's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by one vampire and was saved by another, Kaname Kuran. Ten years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian for the school, with two purposes: To protect the Day class (humans) from the Night class's (vampires) fangs and to protect the true identity of the Night class students from being discovered by the Day class students. Her fellow guardian, Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend who was born into a family of vampire hunters and whose hatred for the vampires that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined to kill them all and never trusts them. Through a cruel twist of fate, Zero becomes a vampire himself, having been bitten by a pure blood vampire four years before.

Kaname, Yuki's savior, leads the group of Night class, with the help of Takuma Ichijo. As the story progresses, it is revealed that Yuki is the true daughter of the Kuran family, a family of pure blood vampires. She and Kaname were raised as siblings who are actually engaged to each other. Kaname awakened Yuki's 'vampire' side which was locked away by Yuki's deceased mother, who wanted Yuki to have a better future by being a human.




The vampires in Vampire Knight have the characteristics of a separate species, which contrasts with most vampire stories which portray vampires as transformed humans. In Vampire Knight, vampires can have children among themselves and with humans, and they age, albeit at a much slower rate than humans. Vampires are nocturnal and they dislike sunlight, but exposure to it does not harm them. They are likewise immune to most of the traditional vampire weaknesses such as crosses, garlic, and holy water. They can also regenerate quickly and easily when wounded, therefore, making them very hard to kill unless a weapon made especially for vampire hunting is used.

Vampires organize their society based on the purity of their blood. Level A are the Purebloods - a very small but very powerful minority. Only a bite from a Pureblood can change a human into a vampire. Pureblood siblings sometimes marry each other to keep the bloodline pure, which is not a rare practice. Level B refers to Noble vampires with advanced powers. Ordinary vampires make up Level C, by far the largest group. Level D is comprised of vampires who were once human; they are a small group, as turning humans into vampires is forbidden and only a handful of Level A vampires would dare to. The final designation, Level E, is separated from the others because it is reserved for former human vampires who have become violently insane. Falling to Level E is considered the inevitable fate of all former human vampires, who can never completely accept their vampiric instincts and their need for blood. Level D or E vampires are left in the care of Level B vampires, so they can keep them in check.

Vampires have warred with human vampire hunters for centuries, though the existence of vampires, and the war itself, is kept secret from most humans.

Star Speaks Out!

Star rants to UsWeekly, saying, “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.”

Damn that slap got to hurt!

With All The Excitement Going On!!

The Celebrity Gossips are going up the roof nowadays with Mariah's wedding and Madonna's record debuted in the #1 spot. Sting in a Rainforest scandel and trying to make other news to stray away from that scandel. Here it is:





As a very big fan of Sting and The Police, I am totally disappointed at him. Back in 2006 Sting did a charity concert to save the Rainforest and the concert brought in well over several millions of dollars and wasn't given to the charity. Actually they got less than half of the money from the concert. As reports are circling in, the organization kept 5 million dollars in cash, while other organizations only keep money needed to cover overhead expenses. Something is totally wrong about this situation. I love Sting but I also love the Rainforest which I have in my childhood house in Puerto Rico. What's up with that? Sound Off, people! I want to hear what you have to say. Also going on Sting has mentioned that his very last perform together with The Police will be this summer in NYC. Wow!!!!



Despite the insane media attention that followed her surprise wedding to Nick Cannon last week, Mariah Carey's new single, Bye Bye, has plummeted on this week's singles chart in America.

The song drops from #22 to #41.

Sucks for her!

Madonna, on the other hand, is doing quite well on the chart.

4 Minutes is currently at #3 this week and her second single, Give It 2 Me, debuted at #21.

Congrats, Madge.

Mariah can go cry on Nick's shoulder now!
