Skeuds, le blog urbain, fun & lifestyle

Because of my sickle-cell disease, I have a high tolerance for pain. By 2006, I’d had headaches for six years. I thought it was stress. But when my vision went blurry, I got an MRI. When I awoke, I could hear and I looked normal, but then I had a sickle-cell crisis. With the pain and steroids, they said I kept flopping and hitting my head. They gave me IV (intravenous) fluids in order to stop it.

After I was released (from hospital) more than a week later, the ride to my Los Angeles apartment was like vertigo to the 10th power. I had to sit up in bed for two months. They propped me up, but I kept sliding down, which made my head swell. It was so painful. At one point, fluid poured out of my nose.

I was readmitted (to hospital). I couldn’t walk or really see. I heard screeching noises. They said, ‘We may have to cut you open again…’ I prayed and the fluid stopped.

Et il a fallu qu'elle réapprenne tout lors de sa rééducation:

In rehab, I had to relearn how to walk and how to say my ABCs.

L'essentiel est, pour elle, d'en être revenue.

Sur Skeuds, on est avec toi ...

ESSENCE.COM: Well, there have been reports that a Georgia property of yours is going into foreclosure. Is that true?

Des rumeurs disent que tu es ten train de perdre ta propriété en Georgie , est-ce vrai ?

T-BOZ: No, I’m not homeless. During my last marriage [to Mack 10], I had a bunch of things that were put in my name. If one of those properties is going into foreclosure then I don’t know. Although I’ve been divorced for five years, there are still a lot of things I’m dealing with on getting straight in that regard. All I know is that the house I live in with my daughter is not. When you pull up my name, my real house doesn’t show up because it’s not in my real name, because I enjoy my privacy and I’m not trying to have people be able to find me that easily.

Je ne suis pas SDF. Lors de mon dernier mariage, Mack 10 (son mari de rappeur) a mis des choses à mon nom. Je ne sais pas si ces choses sont gagée. Tout ce que je sais, est que la maison dans laquelle je vis avec ma fille, ne l'est pas ...

ESSENCE.COM: There were also reports of you losing a home in Houston?

Des rumeurs disent que tu as perdu ta maison à Houston ...

T-BOZ: I’ve never owned a home in Houston. I closed a store in Houston, Chase’s Closet, where I sold girls and boys clothing from infants to 12 years. The store is named after my daughter, Chase. For now, I only have the online store (chasescloset.com).

Je n'ai jamais eu de maison à Houston. J'ai seulement fermé une boutique à House, Chase’s Closet, dans laquelle je vendais des vètements pour enfants. Maintenant la boutique est sur le Net

ESSENCE.COM: That explains the locale. Did you see the photos they had of you that were allegedly in front of your Houston home begging for donations?

As tu vu les photos sur lesquels tu sembles faire la quète pour conserver ta maison ?

T-BOZ: It’s almost a waste of energy to give an explanation, but I’ll just say that the [blogosphere] loves to make up things. I remember that photo and it was on Craiglist.com showing me holding up an autographed picture on the internet saying, “If you come to this address with cash we’ll give you an autographed picture.” The only thing that irritated me was that they said that the proceeds would be donated to St. Jude’s [Children’s Research Hospital]. I can take people talking about me all day, but don’t use my name to make fun of sick children because that’s beyond low and sick. I was a sick kid for a long time, in and out of the hospital most of my life battling my sickle cell, so I don’t find anything funny about that kind of joking. Why would anyone target innocent sick children to make fun of? That’s not cool at all. I mean someone actually took the time to make up all this stuff.

C'est une perte d'energie de chercher à s'expliquer. (...) C'est pas cool et cela veut dire que quelqu'un se donne du mal pour créer toutes ces rumeurs.

ESSENCE.COM: How do you think the rumor began?

Comment naissent ces ruemeurs ?

T-BOZ: Honestly, I don’t know. Ever since the news that TLC went bankrupt back in the day, I suppose everyone wants to believe that we are all struggling, but we’re doing fine. And if it were true, does it really matter? All those things are material. I get that negativity and violence sells, so people just stick to that formula. I’m just trying to live life and raise a little a girl that I was told I couldn’t have because of my sickle cell disease. I’m trying to do something that matters and make a difference with diseases. When I think about having my organs fail, my heartbeat stop and then begin again, this stuff is so trivial and I’m shocked that people believe everything they read because so much of it is far-fetched. My friends call me a miracle, and I am because there were so many times I almost didn’t make it when I was dealing with my sickness, but I’m doing so much better and I can only thank God.

Franchement je ne sais pas. Depuis les rumeurs de faillite de TLC, on veut nous voir dans la merde. Et si c'était vrai, que cela changerait-il ?

A Skeuds, on n'en sait rien mais on regrette TLC ... Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg ?

C'EST LA 2000IEME NOTE QUE L'ON PSTE SUR CE BLOG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prochainement nous lanceront sur Skeuds, le Blog, un débat sur les musiques urbaines actuelles.

Le R&B et le Rap actuels sont-ils plus mauvais que dans les années 90.

Pourquoi y a t-il encore des sourds scotchés en 1982 ? Pour eux, il n'y a que le Funk et rien d'autre. Pourquoi ?

Et sont-ils si sourds que cela ou est-ce le son actuel qui est mauvais ?

Nous essayerons modestement de répondre à ces nombreuses questions ... alors Stay Tuned on Skeuds et donnez vous votre avis et opinion sur le sujet !!!!
