FLAV this POEM is for you

Hi everyone,
this is chellawellbella and I’m a writer and a poet. I did this just for Flav so that he would really know it.

Marcella is more than a babe
Just like Flav is more than a man with a clock
You make me laugh, you make me rock, you touch my soul
Will you give me your lock?

When I saw the love you had for Bridg, I knew the power you have within so I really felt sad when things didn’t work out, but you already know how this stuff happens, and often that’s what life is about

I’m a California girl, been all around this world, writing and teaching and standing for change. But me and Schooch are stuck here in Florida and I’m here by myself with so much to give.

Flav, with a real woman by your side, there’s no limit to how much we could live. All this reality TV and satirical news shows me so many ways to evolve out of these blues. What a way to unfold the mysteries of today and make those dreams come true for both of me and you

Flav, you inspire me with your heart and your mind and that clock is a ticking for love that’s not blind. I’m a good listener, masseuse, and hairstylist too, You’d never be bored, there’s too much to do.

I hope you will all vote for me and give me a chance to show Flavor Flav that I’m for real and we’ll find out if my feelings are true.. I just need for U 2 get out and vote so we have the opportunity to see if time truly will stand still.

FLAVOR FLAV!!! We can fight the power! Peace Out.

About the Age thing

So I got a few years on Flav, let’s talk about that. First of all, I'm actually one of the closest to his age so we both have lived through similar times. How many of us girls have been with older men? Why shouldn't it work the other way around? Look at Demi Moore.. her younger husband, Bruce Willis and all their kids are one big “happy” (FWIW) extended family…so the way I see it, it’s all relative and I refuse to be deterred or intimidated by all the young beautiful big boob girls. I’m there to have the chance to win my man and let Flav find his woman.

None of us knows the future and all we have is today so might as well make the best of it. I will argue and debate all night but I don't like to fight. What's the point. Never a winner. Only losers.

Reality is we all gonna age and nobody is going to get off this planet alive so most important to make everyday count, help others and make this a better world one step at a time, one person at a time.

Age is all a state of mind and like I said, it's the chemistry and communication that counts. Right now I’m saying that I haven't given up hope and I believe and I have seen that it is never too late to meet that someone special to walk hand in hand with. If you've read much of my blog, you can see, nothing has ever been conventional about my life so I say, whatever will be, will be and nothing ventured, nothing gained. Love and luck to all of you and may the most favored woman win. Maybe this is the time for me and Flav, maybe not…Only time will tell. I just know I feel something for him that is special and doesn't come everyday.

About me from then until now

Other than being technically challenged, and all over the place, I’m an independent, good and loyal person which I feel he is as well to the people he cares about and family which must be very important in his life. I would love to be with a man where there is so much mutual love, respect and trust that neither would feel threatened by social flirtation/interactions/time spent apart that invariably come up particularly with the demands he must have with life and his family. I would enjoy being part of a big extended family.

I have no children, two brothers with no children and one cousin and an aunt on my Mother's side and Uncle on my father's side. So we don't have big family reunions. However, I love children and worked every summer during high school as a teaching assistant for a personal family friend’s nursery school. I helped teens in Watts learn to read when I was going to college.. Going back to my Hollywood years when I worked at Sherwood Oaks film and Acting School in the publicity department, my two best friends had about 10 children each and I was always one of the family…

I wrote song lyrics and managed a small singing group featuring two women singers, (one black & one white) and a piano player who wrote the music. We did gigs around small clubs and life was new, exciting and fun everyday. However, I had become very interested in health when I had some unnecessary surgery when I was about 27 so at the age of 30 I went back to school and lived in a dorm with all the young kids and that was such a blast. I even got a years worth of credit for my life experience and the classes were small and intimate.

So with my degree in health education, I moved to San Diego and worked on another non-accredited degree and for an MD in a holistic clinic teaching people about diet, exercise and stress management. I began to lose touch with my LA and northern California friends. I had this big idea to create some kind of healing center and I had a connection with someone in Chicago where I ended up going to beauty school with the idea that I could somehow integrate those two fields. While doing that, I volunteered for BUILD and in Sept 1985, I won an award from the City of Chicago for exemplary service to Youth & Community. I created a program designed to help teens who were gang affiilated and trained other volunteers who could replicate it. I also taught adult education based on the principles I wrote and taught essentially, that we are all individuals who must find our own path often through trial and error as to what works best to create a life where there is a kind of balance between the spritiual, physical, emotional and mental realms. All this period and before was probably the happiest and most rewarding stage of my life.

I began to long for my roots and returned to San Francisco and eventually wound up with everyone’s dream of owning their own salon. I loved the immediacy of reward with the art of transformation and conversations with my clients, but my identity began to disappear and I felt defined by the label of “beautician.” However, survival of the business took priority and my idea of manifesting a healing arts center eventually faded away because without the wing of an M.D wrapped around you, people tend to define you with often meaningless labels.

I eventually created a very thriving business that allowed me to have time to do other things I enjoy such as writing and arts and crafts. This story goes on forever and a day because here I am now far away from everything I knew. After the big earthquake, I sold my home and headed East and long story short, ended up in Tampa, Florida. I was very naïve and got into the stock market just about the time when the 90’s party was over in the downward spiral. I couldn’t bear to work in typical salon as all my long and loyal clients who had become friends were now gone. I began to study with people who make extraordinary amounts of money whether the market goes up or down and the rest of us are just sitting back watching afraid and clueless trusting some broker to show us the way. So I was sitting at my computer studying charts and watching the money channels when 911 happened and we all know how that fateful day changed all of us and our world forever.

I soon lost interest in a market where the big boys dominate and others rely on nothing more than hope that things will get better. It was so all consuming and over my head so when I heard some disturbing words from the Decider I began to study the world of politics which I hadn’t paid much attention to since the end of Vietnam. I started to read and write again and learned things I had heard but never imagined could be true.

They can have their politics because that can eat you alive as well although I will never take my eye off the ball because I don’t ever want to forget what time it is. Jon Stewart and a few others pretty much tell me all I need to know. Me and my Schooch have a quiet simple life and while I have expected some change was coming, I hadn’t really expected to meet anyone special at this point. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do and where I want to be and it’s far away from here is all I know. The housing market has so many of us stuck for now so I make the best of it and while I am sad everyday for all the suffering I see, inside myself, I’m pretty much at peace and feel thankful for what I have. At this point, the possibility of sharing my life with someone like Flav would just complete the circle. I wonder if I’m dreaming but then dreams give us hope and hope is eternal. I would envision Flav and I wrapped in a circle of love and light doing whatever we can to make this a better world and have fun doing whatever we do and go wherever we’re led.

Will you vote for me now?

What can I say
What can I do
To get over my fear
standing next to you

The time is here
The time is now
Because years fly by
And I’m still asking myself how

To find the courage
and feel the grace
No longer a bird
Stuck in a cage

Yes, I’m an eagle
who knows how to soar
With words on the page
But there is so much more

For words unspoken
are flat on the page
Hidden in journals
Hiding my rage

At a world that won’t listen
To nothing that’s true
Writing to myself
isn’t talking with you

You won't regret voting for me, sending me love because I have much love to give back.
DON'T LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SLIP THROUGH YOUR FINGERS....

5 VIDEOS UP & 1 PENDING

After I saw Flav invite us to make video, I wrote poem for him over a month ago yet, Miss Brains didn't know she could upload pics & video right here with cam hooked up properly so I been waiting around for person to help & that got messed up. So with 3 days to go, another friend shows up and sets up my video cam so now U see me for real even if amature.

Many years ago, while living in Hollywood, I was in audience with famous psychic, Sylvia Brown who pointed at me and said: "You are going to be famous." By the time I was 50, I thought she was nuts because nothing ever happened with my screenplay nor my book on health , all my big ideas go nowhere and now this. Hmmmmmm

Wonder if maybe time for me to get off couch because that clock is ticking and Flav shows up and I have this feeling for him from Strange Love before I even knew about this casting possibility. So while I know everything in God's hands, nothing going to happen if I just be couch potato.

Until we meet, will never know if my gut feeling is correct that Flav & I could be such a team to make our dreams come true and that includes all of us who know what time it is.

Friends are telling me they have problems registering & others here w/video problems so I pray they will extend the vote time due to technical difficulties.

wrote & read @ Peace rally

COLLATERAL DAMAGE

You know how they say
That they believe in God
While they kill and destroy
Both here and abroad

Collateral damage is what they say
But it’s the brave young warriors
And freedom
Who always will pay

For some end that justifies a means
That keeps us blind
Do you know they’re foolin
Most of the people, most of the time?

But I’m not totally pessimistic
When there’s still at least 50 percent
Who are still asking questions
Whose minds still haven’t went

But what is it that I really want to say?
Something about faith
I don’t think there’s an end
To the power of the people
And the will to transcend

So as they buy up the media
And get all fuzzy with you
Don't give up, We have the internet
The whole world to find me and you

ME AND FLAV

I was a devoted fan of “Strange Love” which was very familiar to me and watched all the series which followed and have always felt that behind all the wild & crazy, Flav really is hoping to find that one woman who can really curl his hair from head to toe and wrap him up in a blanket of love and really be together as one. That's when I felt connected to him and when I saw his music videos, that really blew me away. He is such a character while still being a deep thinker,and behind that is a Prince.

I just hope Flav and the voters will see the real me who is truly ageless...most of the people I know are very political or into health so much so that this would probably appear to be a very frivilous sort of thing to do. I would not put myself through this ordeal if I didn't have a gut feeling about the whole picture I see that is possible between us.

Who knows the magic that attracts one to another but I know for me it is few and far between so when this man appeared on my radar and touched me from afar, I feel I have to have the courage to do whatever it takes to meet William Jonathan Drayton, Jr. and see if it’s true and how we fit together.

Hi all: WHY I'M LATE

Ever since I saw TV with Flav's invite to make video, I've been waiting for friend who could help me and the days have slipped by so sorry I'm so late getting up here and I pray after you see my video tonight that u will see me & vote 4 me.

I've been so busy researching cars I know nothing about day & night so I don't make same mistake 4th time buying something that not right 4 me. I've finally decided on a Pontiac Vibe because it is just like a Toyota and so fun and practical and I'm kindof in the middle of all that going on.

See I drove 67 VW Bug for 20 years and I loveed that car but finally in 92, it was either put lot of money into it or buy a new one and I decided I wanted more space & I got a Mazda Protégé that was great at first but that turned out to be a lemon year per consumer reports and my experience too.

Anyway, eventually I got a Ford Taurus wagon that saved my life when I had to live out of it and on my screen porch for a few weeks and through 4 hurricanes while my house was completely torn apart because these idiots didn't know what they were doing and I didn’t have a lot of options but to wait it out.

I eventually got this great Honda Civic EX last year but shortly afterwards realized I don't want a low two door car that is useless to take to beach or do anything functional like pack up and get out of Dodge when the next hurricane comes.

I do procrastinate and now the season is upon us and I've been full time researching cars and I guess I must not have not gone back to the website after that first night Flav told us we could make a video to get on the show so I was under impression I had to get a video together and was waiting for that person to have time to help me.

So I'm comletely immersed in studying cars and I'm thinking we're never going to find time to get this video made and Sunday, I go take a closer look at the website and see all these women have their pictures up there.

So I pretty much figured out how it all works so I uploaded some photos I already had on my computer and writing some blogs and linking to My Space too! FINALLY< we both had time on TUESDAY< but they never did get beyond pending> FRIDAY< a friend who is a computer expert came over and hooked up my webcam which i didn't realize could make a video (Yup, Miss Brains here)

I was literally up all night taking the pictures and making the video and waiting for them to upload. Saturday, I'm e-mailing everyone and people are telling me they get some kind of error message so I have to figure out how to explain the steps to everyone. And now it's 4am again and I'm wondering if I should make another video now with the original poem I had planned to read for him that is still in the ethers pending . I've never been in front of a video camera. I was going to wait for more light tomorrow but oh dear the clock is ticking.....
