The scale of Egypt's crackdown on the Internet and mobile phones amid deadly protests against the rule of PresidentHosni Mubarak is unprecedented in the history of the web, experts said.

US President Barack Obama, social networking sites and rights groups around the world all condemned the moves by Egyptian authorities to stop activists using cellphones and cyber technology to organise rallies.

"It's a first in the history of the Internet," Rik Ferguson, an expert for Trend Micro, the world's third biggest computer security firm, told AFP.

Julien Coulon, co-founder of Cedexis, a French Internet performance monitoring and traffic management system, added: "In 24 hours we have lost 97 percent of Egyptian Internet traffic.

According to Renesys, a US Internet monitoring company, Egypt'sfour main Internet service providers cut off international access to their customers in a near simultaneous move at 2234 GMT on Thursday.

Around 23 million Egyptians have either regular or occasional access to the Internet, according to official figures, more than a quarter of the population.

"In an action unprecedented in Internet history, the Egyptian government appears to have ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to the Internet," James Cowie of Renesys said in a blog post.

GET INTO MY FIRST PIECE OF MY CHOREOGRAPHY :)

Update

Currently in my dorm watching Transformers 2 on a TV my fraternity brother graciously gave to me :)
Surprisingly, there is a lot of symbolism and irony written into this script..after having watched it for (starts to count on fingers) blah times? It's amazing how much Hollywood incorporates religion and then just plays with it to see how much people are really paying attention

.::Back to our scheduled programming::.
There has been quite a plethora of events and developments that has taken place within my life upon my return to the illustrious Howard U.
Lets just do a little organizing of this little "411" session shall we?

~School: After my long recess, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would've been to transition back into the routine of getting up for class at 7am. My classes are all VERY fun and I enjoy waking up every day learning something new (no, really, I do enjoy learning and becoming better in my craft)

~Love: Hmm...I'm single. Over the break, I came to the conclusion that the BEST step for me is to just not get involved with anyone at the moment. What more is there to say?

~Religion: Well, this would take up a book and a sequel; however, I'll try to be as concise and precise as possible. I'm on a journey to seek God's answers for why some things in my life are the way they are...which is another reason why I'm single. Being tied down to someone right now isn't going to do any good in assisting me in my development.

That's about the gist of things. I'll try and provide more postings about my favorite things (and then I won't feel...so bad....*sound of music moment*) Tomorrow I will be auditioning for one piece of the spring concert I'm told I must be apart of...so....it's about that time I lay it down. Hope you guys have a safe and blessed rest of the week...well....weekend :)

THE GAME

NUFF SAID

OK now hold up...

I would like to take this time to address a particular issue that has plagued society since sliced bread: Disrespect. Can we just define the word for a minute?

Disrespect - to hold in contempt

Pretty straight forward right? (However, most dictionaries defined the word by using the word) Let me just lay down the guidelines, and feel free to comment and/or chip in

~DON'T LIE TO ME
~DON'T PRESENT YOURSELF TO BE FAKE (UNREAL, TWO-FACED, NON-PERSONAL) TO ME
~DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY KINDNESS (or what you perceive to be my kindness)

Are we clear? If not *shrugs*

SMH

Can we be real?

Expiration dates! They are not there for just show. Some people I know seem to believe that the refrigerator and freezer do a well enough job preserving food longer than it's intended due date. PERSONALLY ( I don't care how much money a person wants to spend) I wouldn't dare eat anything past the date printed on the cover...ok maybe a day or two but not a week. I will NOT have indigestion nor any other bowel issues because of eating something past its expiration.

AM I ALONE ON THIS?

So if you think Jammie Foxx was good...

You probably will like the original version of  "Fall For Your Type" which was written by Drake. This original track is sung by Drake as well. Let me know who did it better :)

Fed up!

I am over it! Over what exactly? Well, I am over the constant worrying of other people and what they will say about me. I've been denying myself the life fulfilling goal of LIVING!!! How can one live a life that was never theirs to begin with!? I mean I might as well have been a slave (Lord may that NEVER happen, to anyone) I was thinking about writing a lesson of the day; however, I believe these two quotes will give you what you need.


You have enemies? Good.
That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
- Winston Churchill


By not caring too much about what people think, I'm able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
- Albert Ellis


Have a good one you guyz! :)

THIS IS WHERE I FELL IN LOVE WITH BROOKE (MIDDLE)! CATCH YOUR LIFE!

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!

For all you college bound folks, it's that time again to start filling out those lovely lengthy papers we like to call FAFSA. Be sure to get on it before February! 

So there's a minor rumor that Michelle Obama is pregnant. I don't really know where that came from but here's the real "tea" if you want to know

She's not pregnant!

Something Good To Hear

B.o.B is what I like to call a revolutionary artist. This somewhat new native Atlanta underground rapper has taken the hip-hop industry and the billboard by storm. In his bio (you can read at http://www.bobatl.com/bio/ ) He started rapping at 13 and began producing music when he formed the group The Klinic with his MC-ing cousin. Aside from his developing profession, he has his own unique swag with his stylish urban wardrobe and his laid back personality. He's had three albums produced since his jump off but his most recent album, B.o.B Presents  The Adventures of Bobby Ray which was released in April and still selling, has caught my attention. I'm not going to blab on about his album and his work because it really does speak for itself.

I found this video of "The Watchers"this morning that is highlighting the ever-so popular topic **drumroll** THE ILLUMINATI. B.o.B is just saying be your own self and do what you do. Believe what you want to believe because the "watchers" are going to watch you nonetheless; in essence, f**k the illuminati and live life. Watch and feel free to comment.

Ka-Ching!

Pour that tea girls
Sit high because no one wants to see you slouch
but they will sip and sip and spill your tea
It's funny because when it's a sunny day outside
the number of parched increase
"Do you have any tea to spare?"
"O do we have the tea for you!"
and as they listen, ..clouds...everywhere
Shade being thrown here and there
and then it blows away only to be followed
by even more shade
Then finally, it's time
"Endorse here, without making any stray marks below
the dotted line"
...scribble....scribble....scribble...
PAID
And when it's all paid full
here comes the next crowd of thirsty kids
"There's enough tea for everybody"
Not anymore
because you spilled it on the last bunch
Hmph
Time for some cleaning don't cha think?
