COOLEYLOVE

A little fun with some Cooley Cousins.

WARNING - Cute Kid Alert!!!

I had to take a moment from my vacation and post this. Neveah Grace, for those that need a score card, is Lacy and Aggie Cooley's great-great-great-great granddaughter; George and Mary Cooley's great-great-great granddaughter; Edward and Ethyl Cooley's great-great granddaughter; Eugene and Helen Cooley's great granddaughter. Proud grandparents Larry and Seretha love this little bundle of beauty. Anyone that knows me knows I am not particularly fond of children. I'm being honest here. Somehow when they're related to you, you have a totally different feeling. As you can see, this little one has captured her big cousin's (that's me) heart. It is easy to see she gets her beauty from her mother, Keyaria. I'll keep on saying it, there are no ugly people in my family. Okay, some got some ugly personalities, but they still look good. This Cooley Cousin is definitely a pretty one.

Welcome Home

It has been several years, but I have returned to the place I considered my second home. I can attest that everything must change. While driving around the city this evening, I've noticed growth within the little community where I spend much of my time. New business popped up in the three years since my last visit. I can't wait to see how things look in the light of day. Yes, L.A. has always felt like home. I'm glad to be here once again. I'm sure I'll have some tales to tell, since I'm spending some time with the "UNRULEY" one. Let me say this, she is a WILD GIRL like her song says. I recall someone saying years ago, "...wild women don't get the blues." "UNRULEY" don't do the blues, y'all.

Looky here, I got something to say... A Message For Christina "Dirrty" Aguilera

I was sitting here, minding my own self-business, and then IT happened. I heard this announcement, "Ladies and Gentlemen, singing our National Anthem, Christina Aguilera." I instinctively knew she was going to mangle the Star Spangled Banner. Oh yeah, I was on point. That chick MURDERED it. Not that she would ever read this blog, but I do have a message for her. "Listen dear, I realize SOMEBODY done told you wrong. I feel the need to make things right. I'm going tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but, so help me... You sucked at singing The National Anthem. Check this out - take a moment or two to listen to Whitney, then listen to Marvin perform it. That's all - just listen. Don't ever, ever, NEVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, EVER do that song again. Stick with what you know. I still like you and you can feel free to ask me for advice at any time. All my years in the business can be beneficial to you." As I said, SHE won't read it, but maybe, just maybe thru six degrees of separation, someone will tell her what I said. You never know?!?!? I found this version of our National Anthem performed by the late Marvin Gaye, and his daughter Nona. It's good y'all.


Getting dirtty - that's what Christina should stick to doing. Always, always go with what you know and what works best for you. You do you, Boo!

Miss Toyia

...and the winner for looking good while holding an orchid in Walmart is, Miss Toyia!

Just Wild And Womanish!

Well, the UNRULEY one is at it again. All I've got to say is, this woman CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT be called predictable. I can't say when, but look for something EXCITING coming from her soon. Until then, here's a blast from her past. Yes, Dideo and Bessie's baby is a WILD GIRL!

Happy Birthday, Sophie

Time flies and kids grow up overnight. It's hard to believe this little girl is two years old today.

Papa Terry is a doting father to all of his children, so we know she is loved, loved, loved. Happy Birthday to our little Sophie Kaylynn!

Terry and Sophie

WARNING - CUTE KIDS AHEAD!!!

I must admit, there are NO ugly people in this family. Oh, there are some people with some butt-ugly personalities, but they still look good.

Looking at these two little girls brings an instant smile to your face.
These lovely little ladies get their good looks from their mother, Keyaria.

You know when they grown up there will be some broken hearts along the way.

Somewhere, In North Dakota...

It's always good to recognize the accomplishments of our loved ones. The new year brings a new home for Cooley Cousin Maria and her family. North Dakota (norfdaKOLDah) is where this Cooley has settled. That's several states and many miles away from the small town of Coaling, Alabama; where Great-Great-Great Grandparents Lacy and Aggie Cooley established their home and raised their children.

The purchase of a home makes it official; these Cooleys are norfdaKOLDahns!!!

Congratulations, Maria and Ted on your new home.

Name That Cooley

This blast from the past is one of Ethyl and Edward Cooley's grandsons. Can you name him?

Eugene Lawrence Cooley

Happy Birthday, Uncle Bud

All Turned Out....

The UNRULEY one brought in the new year performing with Klymaxx at the Morongo Casino and Resort. I've been told Cheryl gave her fans an excellent show. I have seen UNRULEY play her guitar and listened to the sounds she puts down. It's mesmerizing. As she's playing she goes further into "the zone" and takes you along for the ride. Cheryl "strokes and grips" the neck of her guitar with great precision and authority. You'll be spellbound when she falls to her knees and plays notes with her tongue. When the show is over, you'll want to smoke a cigarette, cuddle and fall asleep! It's what I have termed "musical intercourse." Jokes aside, Cheryl is doing what she does best; she's playing her music and performing for her fans. Contrary to the many lies and multiple haters coming for her, Cheryl keeps pressing on. You gotta love her -- she gets paid to do what she enjoys doing. That's a great way to bring in the New Year!!!
