yes
Wanted to do a quick blog to thank all of you who have sent me personal messages regarding not only my most recent video on Youtube but also about my blog. You guys are some encouraging people and I am actually very overwhelmed and crunk that you guys recognize my efforts and support me no matter what. I do recognize that I am not perfect but I feel that I have a point to prove. Thank you so much for the support.

the beauty of THIS blogger
Pardon me, as this shall be a little bit of a rant…
But I’m annoyed. As I posted on Twitter, I received my first (and surely won’t be the last) letter which basically requested that I take a specific picture off my site. I didn’t think that it’d happen so fast (if at all) but it did. So whatever….
Now here’s where I get frustrated. First and foremost…tone is everything. Even in email. If you seem as though you’re coming off defensive, nasty, hateful or just rude…we have problems. Before I blog, I’m Jia first. Jia never has tolerated people speaking crazy to her just because they felt that they had more weight to throw around than I did.
People have already started lumping me in the same category as other bloggers but lets be clear. Before there was a MissJia.com, I was on “video,” I was on Youtube, and I was always hitting the streets of Atlanta. So for ANYBODY to EVER suggest that I am like others who “hide behind their blog” not only insults me but it pisses me off b/c I DO NOT HIDE!
Before you send me a message about some trash regarding someone you deal with, work for or assist, please have your facts straight…and most importantly, come with some respect or don’t come at all. Just b/c you have a lawyer on deck to handle all of your copyright and defamation shit doesn’t mean that that same lawyer cant rip YOUR ass on issuing threats.
Fuck outta here….
feeling some type-a way
So I’ve put everybody I know on alert about my friend that I went to high school with…who is currently on drugs. I put word out in the streets that anytime someone sees her, call me immediately…don’t care what time of the day it is, what she’s doing, where she’s at. If you see her, CALL ME!
Well the other day I received a phone call from a girl that I use to be in a singing group with. Uh, a text…not call (didn’t feel like going back and correcting). She says….
“Lee Lee is standing near me.”
My heart sank….I thought “Wow…I get to see her, talk to her!” I get another text…
“I called you but she ran away from my phone and said she didn’t want to talk.” I asked her to ask my friend “Why not?” She says “I know what shes going to say. I’m going to rehab….later.” And she walked away.
Broke my heart. Absolutely broke my heart.
My friend was VERY beautiful…she was white and native american. Really dark hair, dark eyes…petite with a really pretty smile and smart. We competed in school. I didn’t feel like I was achieving shit if I wasn’t running neck in neck with her.
So how does that happen? I dunno….
I just wish she’d talk to me. Im the most familiar face out of our ‘crew’….we grew up on the same street. If she saw me and talked to me, I think I’d be a reminder. And I think she knows that and is scared. I really just wish she’d talk to me.

bitch you better work
The comments piss me off tho…like big people are suppose to be immobile or something. Love this queen though…
sometimes they just want to vent
You know…anytime someone prefaces their conversation with “Some people say that I’m an asshole,” run as fast as you can b/c 9 times outta ten, they probably are indeed a booty.
Case in point…a guy that I was seeing (and abruptly ended it a few days ago) told me from jump that he “can be an asshole.” And it’s crazy b/c I started noticing asshole-ish things from the start but sort of dismissed them b/c I thought that I was letting what he told me stand in the way of really learning what/he who was.
Another situation was with someone that I began talking to (as a friend) and during one of our conversations, he said “Some people think that I am an asshole.” It was deja-muthafuckin-vu up in that piece. So I sat back and observed through conversation and found that he, too, was correct.
On another note, one thing that infuriates me about some people is the fact that we often have a lot of mouth to talk but rarely do we listen. Sometimes a person can come to you b/c they want to vent…they didn’t ask for your two cents, yet you offer it any way. That’s a sign of a person who doesn’t listen. Now, this is not to say that advice shouldn’t be given…but it’s to say that if you are going to interject with your own opinions, make sure that it’s really along the lines of advice, rather than throwing salt or shade. That shit gets you the side eye. Like, for real.
I’m just venting right now. I am finding that people in the blog world are shadier than a mufucka and although I was warned by a couple of the top bloggers, it still stings a little. And to know that it’s nobody to vent said frustrations to…except those who call it ‘petty’ cuz its “only blogging?” Chile, bye….
Anyway, you guys enjoy your weekend. Don’t forget to check out and tell a friend about www.missjia.com. Much appreciation.
