WHATS UP BLOG READERS,

YO' I WENT TO THE PREMIERE OF THE MOVIE "SOMEBODY HELP ME".

THE MOVIE WAS WACK AS HELL. I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL. I MEAN OMAION AND ALEXIS WERE GOOD IN THE MOVIE, BUT AS FAR AS FOR EVERYONE ELSE IT WAS TRULY BAD.

I MEAN CHRIS STOKES NEEDS TO STAY WITH DANCING MOVIES. IF HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS HORROR THIS AIN'T HIS THING AT ALL. .I REALLY HOPE THE MOVIE DOES WELL WHEN IT COMES OUT, I MEAN I WOULDN'T BUY IT ON BOOT-LEG.

SORRY, BUT JUST KEEPIN IT 100% REAL.

THE RED CARPET WAS OFF THE CHAIN EXCEPT FOR CHRIS STOKES’ MOTHER "MAMA STOKES".

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS ACTING HOLLYWOOD, BUT SHE STAYED IN MY APT. COMPLEX FOR 6 YEARS AND MIGHT STILL BE THERE. SHE USED TO COME TO MY HOUSE ASKING ME IF I WANTED DINNER. SHE ALWAYS WAS INVITING ME TO HER BOOK SIGNINGS AND ALL BUT ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS AND SNUCK ONTO THE RED CARPET LIKE SHE WAS THE STAR, LOL. HOW THIRSTY IS THAT OLD HEFFA. SHE DID A BETTER JOB ACTING LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS THEN IN THE MOVIE.I GIVE HER AND THE MOVIE 2 THUMBS DOWN!

OTHER THAN THAT, THE AFTER PARTY AT CLUB RITUAL WAS OFF THE CHAIN. THERE WAS ALOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND IT WAS UP TO MY LIKING. WASN'T ANYONE THERE ACTING HOLLYWOOD.

WELL, LETS SEE, HOW THIS NEXT EVENT TURNS OUT. YA'LL STAY TUNED IN OKAY THANKS AND MUCH LOVE.

MANAJ :)

Good-morning blog readers,

Today I feel blessed. I will be attending a couple of events this week and I’m hoping for the best. I know I've waited long enough for this moment to happen and I can’t believe it's really here. You know?

I’m really ready to get some more music done, I can’t wait for that.

I’ve been writing so much and I’ve come up with so many concepts.

I think all this will turn out the way that I want it to.

I got to show some love to all my friends on my Myspace page for continuing to support your girl through whatever I have been through. You guys have made me a better person in a good way and I am so thankful for that. Because you get hated on a lot in this game you know and taking in consideration my background, people are just not going to understand until my dvd/ mixtape hits stores. I mean, I think there is a little something in it for everyone that has been through the struggle with their fathers and or family members.

And trust me, I have been through almost all of it: dealing with fake friends, people stealing money or just plain old liars. I am so done with the fake stuff and I’m moving on to bigger and better and at the same time still keeping a level head.

That’s just who I am as a person, and I’m blessed with this gift.

I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I will.

Thanks for tuning into my blog and have a blessed and wonderful day,

Yours truly,

MANAJ :)

Hey, what’s up folks? Ya girl has been having fun these past couple of days.
I’ve been to red carpet events, birthday parties and just club after club. I mean, this thing I call the Holly-hood life is turning out to be more then I thought.
I know I’ve got to get my pictures taken. It's hard to get all this done, you know, but I'm not complaining. Trust that I love it. It's just that with balancing my daughter, work and music’s fame life is crazy.
It seems like you have no time for anyone, not even for yourself.
So you want to make time for friends and family, but in the midst of that you’re spending money and treating everyone because they know you got it.
It's kinda messed up in a way because you understand how you friends and family feel but you still have a job to do.
Now what do you think is more important: having fun or making your money stack up to where you want it to be?
I say stack and be happy later. There’s more to life then just having fun.
Especially when you have kids to raise and you’re a single mother on your grind constantly having people hate on you about who knows what.
I'm just enjoying life for the day whatever happens, happens.
God would not put anything on anyone that they could not handle.
I just feel so blessed that I can let everyone hear what I have to say, weather they like it or not.
It makes me happy just to know that I can touch 1 or 2 souls with my music. That’s the best feeling ever.
Y'all stay up and remember without struggle, there's no progression, so stay grounded.

MANAJ**** :)

Wow. I feel so wonderful today. Okay, so I get to go to this red carpet thing today. I've never been to one before. I know that I’m going to do my best, but you know about the jitter bugs that get in your stomach? Well I have those, lol.
I cant believe that Im going to be walking the red carpet.
In any event, great thanks to Matt Harmon the C.E.O. of TM Media Group, Lorena and Carla my PR's for doing it up for me.
Man, this is the dream of a life time: to rep' for myself and WALK THE RED CARPET!!
Ya'll don’t understand. This is super great.
You know a lot of people don’t get to do things like this at all and it's a blessing to me from God that I really can do this and that ya'll have my back. I love all the love that’s been given to me.
Even so I scraped my knees, got bruses I still went for what I know and believe in and now that I know that I have my drive and push and people on my team, it makes it even more better.

You know I love what I do. That’s why I’m doing it. Most people say, I’m just in it for the money, but PLEASE. If I wanted to go to college then trust me, I would and I am soon. But right now I have this talent while I’m young and I’m about to handle it baby.
Ya'll stay up and stay tuned in for my next blog.
Love ya'll.
Much respect.
MANAJ :)

What’s up fans, friends and family? This is your girl, Manaj. I’ve been slipping lately and I don’t know why. I think I have a lot of pressure on me now that everything is getting off the ground. I didn’t expect things to move so fast, but you know that’s show biz.

I’m going to attend 2 parties this week. One for fashion week’s after party and the other for face2face entertainment model and talent management. I have never been to one. I think that would be phenomenal. I know a lot of people will be there so I'll have to look my best. I mean, of course: this is fashion week and I love fashion!

I am so thrilled to see what is to come. I mean I've seen a lot on TV but never been to one that is live and uncut. I hope it's not like Kat Williams said about the mansion parties. I know these are not mansion parties but there close enough, lol.

I know for sure I will enjoy myself and do well as a rep' for TM Media Group and as an artist. Hopefully this gets on TV so ya'll can see your girl live and uncut.

ALSO:
I'm still working on my DVD/mixtape once again, and my single ‘Gangsta Chick’ will hit the streets by November 2007. So make sure you catch up with every last one of my blogs to know what I’m doing and where I'll be.

And most definitely I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you.
Thanks for everything.
MANAJ :)

I want all of you to go to bragster.com and vote for your girl, however you feel: bad or good. It's just a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question. I want all the feedback I can get. I think this will help me develop a great fan base and understand what you want from me. I'll be trying to get into everything I can get my hands on that’s positive. I see that a lot of you don’t like the fact that I use bad language in my music, but I see it as expressing how I feel in ways that only someone who has gone through what I have will understand.

Yes, I’m a single mother of two, and I’ve been through a lot of things. I can honestly say that I put myself through a lot because I was just feeling myself a little too hard. But now that I have grown up a little bit more I understand that every other word out of my mouth does not have to be the b-word or n-word. I mean I’m not trying to change up that much. All I want to do is make my fans happy and also myself.

I wonder how you guys would feel growing up if you had a mother and father who used bad language growing up like I did. That’s all I was around, so you got to try and understand that I’m trying to grow out of that, to be a better person for myself and my kids and also for my young fan base.

And if I hurt any single mother by the words that I use in my music, I’m sorry for expressing myself to the fullest.

I try to keep it at 100% as much as possible but I guess a lot of people can’t handle that.
I’m not in the music biz to bad talk guys or girls. I’m just expressing myself in the way that I am used to, I mean no harm.
I’m a loving, outgoing person who loves people.
So get to know me a little bit before you judge me and understand it's not all my fault.
I’m not going to blame anyone for my wrong doings. I just have to mature and grow a little bit more and with your help, I can do so.

I appreciate all the love and respect that I have gained over the past year and am ready for whatever comes my way.

Thanks for everything,
MANAJ**
