What is Kanye West babbling about now?
Kanye West, the world’s most grandiose rapper, went on a bizarre Twitter rant yesterday, detailing his excessively grand ideas and plans for the world.
In the midst of his narcissistic ramblings, West named himself as Steve Jobs’ successor. He announced a new Apple-type corporation, which he named DONDA — after his late mother. The new corporation, he says, will consist of 22 divisions “with a goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford…”
West is “assembling a team of architects, graphic designers, directors musicians, producers, AnRs, writers, publicist, social media experts, app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionist, doctors, scientist, teachers…” to take him one step closer to realizing his goal of becoming the next Steve Jobs.
“I sit everyday and ask what can I do to make a difference,” writes West, who adds that he hasn’t “bought a new car or piece of jewelry in about 2 years…”
West doesn’t want to just design the new iPad, he wants to redesign our way of thinking too — beginning with the schoolchildren. “School systems were designed to turn people into factory workers,” he tweeted. “Schools should be designed to prep human beings for real life.”
Who else thought that schools were already designed to prep human beings for life?
West says he’s uniquely qualified to redesign our way of life because he has won Grammies, which gives him the “prestige” to reach out and connect people.
Like most grandiose personalities, West’s ideas are a confused, colossal mishmash of pomposity and pretentiousness conceived by West to bring even more attention to himself.
“I care about people who have never heard of me… There are over 7 billion people on the planet now,” he tweeted. And West is determined to get their attention one tweet at a time.

Adele Loses Weight – and Her Golden Voice
British singer Adele tweeted this pic on her official Twitter page yesterday. When Adele was riding high, her Twitter page was maintained by her record label. But Adele took it over now that she has nothing else better to do after having throat surgery.
Adele’s critically acclaimed 2nd studio album, 21, is the one of the biggest-selling albums of the decade. But don’t look for another album from Adele for at least a couple of years.
Adele’s signature vocals is unnatural for her and puts a strain on her golden pipes, causing bleeding inside her vocal cords.
Surgical intervention for vocal cord hemorrhage is usually the last resort when nothing else will stop the bleeding. This means Adele is susceptible to future episodes of vocal cord bleeding. She must either alter the way she sings or she will never sing again.
Why you should be worried if your man is on a social network
Nothing kills a relationship faster than boredom and restlessness. If you and your man aren’t equally yoked, and your man is bored with your married life, he’s going to search around for some excitement outside of your marriage.
A Twitter.com user is claiming to have footage of Trina Braxton’s husband, Gabe Solis, doing hand exercises (I would be more explicit but this is a family oriented blog). Trina is singer Toni Braxton’s youngest sister, and she’s one of the stars of WE tv’s popular reality show ‘Braxton Family Values‘.
As proof of her claims, the woman, whose Twitter handle is @1DonDiva, uploaded a video of Gabe relaxing on his marital bed while discussing his wife’s personal business with a total stranger on Skype. At some point in the nearly 3 minute video, the woman tells Gabe how sexy he is. In addition to calling his wife a drunkard, Gabe revealed that he never had emotions for any woman outside of his marriage, despite Trina’s assertions that he cheated on her for 5 out of the 7 years they were married.
Do you know who your husband is “Skyping” or DM’ing on Twitter?
