DEUCES 2010

Hello Earthlings, and home skillets!!! I hope each and everyone of you enjoyed their christmas holidays! 

2010 is coming to an end (about time). I really can't say 2010 has been the best year of my life because I would be lying! Were there any challenges? OH YES! were there any good times? HECK YEAH!  I'm not a huge fan of new year's resolutions because truth be told those resolutions are hardly met...well am speaking for myself here. If there's anyone out there who meets every single resolution at the end of the year then Kudos to you! May the pigs with you and let it be known that you are bomb.com!

So before we start 2011..If its in God's plan ....I've got a few things to let out of my chest ( just incase I drop dead at 11:59 on december 31st) :

1. To My family ...love you! 

2. To ALL MY TRUE  AND BEST FRIENDS ...Thank you so much for being part of my life. Thank you for putting up with my moodiness, and craziness sometimes and just standing by me through thick and thin ....This only applies to those who actually matter. some of you willl read and go aaawwww and you know very well you avoided me when I needed you the most or you just became lame and thought you''re  too cool for me and decided to just..I don't know.....*sigh*...anyways... well pppsshhh Guess what?......Never mind.

3.To all the Fake people....I still got some love left in me for you. so if are ever in need...just holla at your girl. If I am in a position where I can help I will, And if am not able to...atleast I will hand you tissue to wipe your tears!

4.To everyone else whom I haven't met personally but you stop by my facebook page or status update  and leave a comment...Thanks!!!

5. To all my stalkers...GET A LIFE! here are a few options: lock yourself up in a water bottle and drown, jump in the lake and disappear, get 10 jobs to keep you busy....go for a walk and never come back..ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU AWAY FROM ME!

6. To anyone I wronged....I AM SO SORRY! lets have a fresh start shall we?

8. Let's have a toast for the douche bags, the liars and all the bastards that just brought nothing but misery to my life! And lets have a special toast to the lucky dude that will have me...I know some Ladies are frustrated coz Prince Charming  hasnt' arrived yet...chill..he is on his way...Maybe his Horse is tired, Maybe he is lost and went to Timbuktu instead, Maybe he stopped At Kentucky Fried chicken....or if he is like mine..he is In Africa, and HE IS WALKING TO AMERICA!!!..yeah you get the point! Enough with the sarcasm....or as Kenyans  love to put it..."OMG YOU ARE SO IRONIC".....NKT! Irony and sarcasm are two different things!

Major changes have got to be made in 2011. Toxic people in my life will be non existent to me. With that being said..If you do not hear from me it simply means you are part of the change! I will basically be the same person, if you know what I mean, BUT I just wont tolerate some things! 

I wish you all a happy new year, Filled with nothing but blessings from GOD. Put God first and you will amazed at what he will do for you. May God be with you all and your families. If we don't meet in 2010, God willing we will see each other next year, and if we don't then We shall meet in heaven. Hell is no place for me! Texas heat taught me that the only place to be is heaven..there is Jesus, fruits, vegetables, Air conditioning! ( No pizza though). Anyways, TOODLES and may GOD''S BLESSINGS BE WITH YOU ALL.

NAMASTE!

Life's hurdles

BIG SIGH...There comes a time when life just throws lemons at you. But in my situation, life is not throwing those lemons..it is HURLING them at my family and I. So what do you do? well you make lemonade right? RIIIIGGGHHHHTTTT...thats easy to say.

I would like to kindly ask you to consider my family and I in your prayers. If you are one of those individuals that don't believe prayer then just have us in your thoughts and wish us well. uuhhhmm I guess the devil looked around and just decided to invade the Juma family. Gosh this hurts so bad. I usually hate talking about my trials and tribulations but this is just too much and its all happenning AT ONCE!! But I guess GOD knows why, and I believe everything happens for a reason. So My humble prayer is may God's will be done!!

Never underestimate these words: When it rains it pours.

On that note...I won't be blogging for a while. I just need time to let this shit sink in my head and just let everything out. So feel free to email me, facebook me, call me, text me, whatever..Anything you find suitable.

A great saying on Life's hurdles : "Life’s problems wouldn’t be called “hurdles” if there wasn’t a way to get over them." Author Unknown .

Random thoughts...A must read

Slavery isn’t a crime perpetuated by one race against another. At least not anymore… It’s now a state of mind- an inferiority complex inflicted on one’s own race by oneself. I’ve come to this realisation because of the comments, preferences and trends I have observed within this race we call “black”. An African guy (born and raised) tweeting that African girls are not fine…an African woman obsessed with sewing an oblivious South-American or Asian woman’s hair onto her head…an entire race striving to be what it is not.

Fumiso ( My naija buddy) once blogged about that, and it resonated with me. The reason we have these ferocious “black is beautiful” campaigns and affirmations is because we need them. We NEED to hear that we are these things because no one says it otherwise. White doesn’t have to be reminded that it is beautiful…European hair does not need a natural hair movement to spread the word about the beauty of its long, silky locks…that b**ch KNOWS. The voluptuous, full-lipped, dark-skinned, nappy-headed girl on the other hand needs to be drilled…infused…inundated with these affirmations because sadly, in most cases, she will never get such admiration otherwise. Even black people ourselves idolise the fairer ones with slender features- characteristics atypical of our bodies- at the expense of those who through no fault of theirs look “too African” or are just “plain ugly”. What does “ugly” even mean, anyway? That my lips aren’t thin enough or my nose is too flat? Or that I’m just not worthy of your attention?


Take me from Instance, A thick, curvy, East African, Western Kenyan girl. Growing up I was always bone skinny. Infact kids made fun of me at school saying I would never get a boyfriend coz I was thin and "unattractive". While my 15 years old peers had big boobs, wore a double Z bra and had hips sticking out making all the Guys drool....I had small lumps and my booty wasnt even that cute. Boys called me cute but never HOT! Then I turned 16 and BAM! ish happenned...and I never fit into my size 2 clothes ever again. SO am I supposed to hate myself since my thighs are huge, my butt is Abundant and my hips can't fit in anything? ....Here is a quote from a Kenyan dude : " I like my women thin, slim and on point. I don't like to not have the chance to carry my woman or shoppin at the extra large department"...BREAKS!!! Did you just seriously tell me this? for real dude? You are a disgrace to your Mom. Go jerk off and get an effing life. TRICK. How about the guy that called me fat today?..SMH I am who I am. Am not going to look like a twig just to attract one guy. Here is my principle : Like me for who I am. There is more to me than just physical appreance  and if you haven't taken the time to learn who This Linda chic is then you are a sore loser. I am  me. PERIOD

It sickens me that this mental slavery is reinforced each and every day by the very people it holds in captivity. Reading any black entertainment blog and the hateful comments on others’ appearance will show this. The fact that women spend inordinate amounts of money (sometimes instalmentally) on other women’s God-given hair without a credible and sustainable stream of income proves this. And the kinds of girls that our men tend to lust after further etches it in stone. The quintessential black sex goddess (read sarcasm) has an Indian woman’s hair, a Brazilian woman’s complexion and is dressed like an American video ho. Seriously. Seriously?

I cannot count how many times a guy has asked my what the f*ck I did to my hair (and I quote). “I prefer you with your longer hair”, they say. You mean you prefer me with some other woman’s longer hair. I even got told that I am becoming more Kenyan, just cos the  person heard me speaking Kiswahili…you could all but see the negative connotations that weighed on the word “Kenyan” in that sentence. It’s like my British/ American  education is supposed to have washed away the undesirable African in me and replaced it with a more American-friendly Linda (weave-included at a slight extra cost). I would be the first person to admit that everyone is entitled to their tastes, preferences and opinions. But something is wrong when the men whose companions we are supposed to be want to model us after something else. AND WE LET THEM. More than that, we go a step further and actively encourage them by putting down others who do not conform to the trend. My idea of the creation story was that making Eve from Adam’s rib symbolised the complementary functions that men and women have to play viz-a-viz one another. Where they falter, we should support and when we are weak, they should be strong. God knows a woman’s weakness- let alone a black woman- lies considerably in the image she has of herself. Do we really need our men and fellow women chipping away at this even more?

I am in no way arguing that everyone should claim to be pretty or expect to be regarded as such. Beauty is defined as such for the very reason that it excludes. We have the idea of beauty or attractiveness because there are things which we do not find physically beautiful or attractive. The problem I have is when this physical appearance is all a woman is judged on. Women who inspire me- Michelle Obama, Funmi Iyanda, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison- aren’t exactly Page Six Models. But I don’t give a crap. Neither should anyone with an IQ higher than 5. Their character, their achievements… WHO THEY ARE… those things count for way more than some myopic notion of what is exotic or not. The very idea that beauty has to be exotic in itself is stupid. It reeks of inadequacy and self-loathing. . Voila. 

From my heart to my blog

1. I have to trust in God.....No matter what. Even though things look weary and scary, even when nothing is making sense or "perfect". As I sit here typing..am actually heavy hearted, angry, disgusted, frustrated...you name it. I've had a very rough and tough week. And even though I walk around laughing (which anyone that knows me well knows how much I loooove to laugh), smiling and being bubbly as usual ..am actually DYING on the inside. But GOD has never failed me. Never. He has been with me every walk of my life and the cool part is before heartache can ever touch my life..it goess through His hands. Thank you JAH!

2.I'm running my second half marathon this sunday, December 5th. Its the Dallas white rock marathon which is one of the largest running events in Dallas. All the money and proceeds benefit the Scottish Rite Children's hospital. Wish me luck coz I didnt train as well as I was supposed to.

3.There are times in our lives where certain things we are trusting and waiting on God are put on "PAUSE"...and we are just waiting for God to press " PLAY". Be it relationships...career...healing of broken relationships...money...healing...whatever...we can only pray that God will press " PLAY" and get that area of our lives into motion. Press " PLAY" Lord...take the heaviness away...

4.Pharmacy school applications are uhhm tedious and can really break your bank. 150 per school per application and 75 for each school's supplemental application. Where am I getting that money? DON'T KNOW!!!

5. I feel Like crying , screaming on top of my lungs and showing the world my middle finger.

6. Thank you Larona, Rachel, Latissa and Kylie for making my night. Especially Larona ..girl you are special.



This is all I have for now....I know it doesn't seem like much but I am just not in the mood today...*sigh*...I know it will be better tomorrow!!

Relationship Ponderings

She is the definition of unique. Outgoing but introverted, loves music, funny, bubbly but quiet sometimes. Sort of that southern Belle. He was tall, spanky, sponteneous, sweet, loving, caring, romantic...well atleast thats what she thought. They were both college students so they met at school. Was it love at first sight? NOOOOOOOOO WAAAYYYY. Infact she was NOT attracted to him. After several "first date turn downs", He finally worked his magic and Viola' She showed up at his doorstep for a "date". She wore this Pretty floral black and white short, flare dress with a black Sweater blazer and black 6 inch heels....Yes she is a very girly girl and heels are a staple in her closet. Her hair was in a bun with side bangs, foundation and eyeshadow were on point. NO lipstick..can't be daring on a first date..just lip gloss..yes girl make those lips pop out!!! Mascara could not be forgotten, and How about the purse? It was black and burgundy.

She pulled up, heart racing, nervous coz yeah even though they'd been talking and txting for the past 10 days..she still wasnt sure what was gonna happen. He was outside waiting, showed her where to park. What was he wearing? regular jeans and a sweatshirt...uuhhh ok...weren't you expecting a GIRL? Dude atleast look decent. ..anyways..she didnt mind coz at this point she was kinda attracted to him anyways...They hugged, he smelled delicious. that cologne was ON POINT. So, before this whole "hangout" or "date" was planned..he has said he would cook dinner for her. She walks in..NO FOOD!! *cricket chirps*...uuhhm its ok.. He offers to buy her pizza she refuses...coz she was tryna be cool.

So they sat, and talked. They listened to music too...not just any music..good love songs. See, he knew what she liked and thats exactly what he pounced on. Here she is going awwww...he is the best!!!...YEAH GIRL THATS COZ YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF YET. and then outta nowhere he tells the girl to close her eyes...ok now open em..WOW!!!! Beautiful necklace..aawwww...now at this point she was SOLD!! This N**a didnt cook but he got me a Present..yeah in your face!! It looked expensive too....lets just say that was the birth of a relationship.
She loved him dearly...This Chic done lost her mofo mind coz she thought she found "the one".  She even brought him home to Mama. A few people warned her..she never listened. She stood ber her so called man and defended him at all times even when he clearly was acting like an a$$hole. Now she saw some redflags but she ignored em ALL coz in her mind she just said oh no one is perfect. She put up with his ever changing moods, anger problems, partying, ego issues..you name it. There were times where they would makes plans and he would stand her up on these dates. Then it slowly went from calls everyday to no calls, strictly txts..then the texts turned into no communication at all. A TON of broken promises...am not talking about silly woof woof promises..am talking MAJOR promises...then it finally dawned on her that this so called relationship is just a mere joke. Things went  sour in a matter of months. He treated her like CRAP, and the relationship ended.

She was hurt..why? coz she genuinely loved this guy. she was there for him when he needed help and loved him for who he was. On the other hand...he was just on one of his rounds. He could have cared less. why? coz he has endless chics lined up to be with him. She was nothing to him but a pawn. A frikkin Pawn. Now its hard for someone like me to grasp the idea of why anyone would decide to play and gamble with someone's emotions. Well, my heart seriously goes out to her.

Fast forward a few months later..Girl is happy and thankful that this so called love affair came to an end. She deserves waaayyyy better. Does she hate him? nope. hate is a strong emotion. She just truly hates what he does though. She wishes him well in all his endevours. Life is short.  Her prayer to him though is Grow up, stop playing games coz you hurting alot of females out there, and finally stop spending your times collecting stones while you let diamonds slip by.

The end!!!!!

WORLD AIDS DAY

World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infectionHIV/AIDS has been a global epidemic for more than 27 years. Most of today's youth have never known a world without it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published national HIV incidence (new infections) that showed much higher numbers that previous estimates. The time is now. Together, we can prevent the spread of this pandemic – through awareness, care, prevention, education and research.

On December 1st, individuals and organizations will recognize World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is leadership – from all sectors, including government, but also leaders among individuals and families, communities, non-profits and other organizations.

Ok guys!! for those that know me, ya'll know am bubbly, energetic, sarcastic and laugh ALLL the time. but this blog is gonna be different. I rarely get emotional but everytime I think of HIV/AIDS my heart breaks. Am gonna get personal here...I have lost family members to this pandemic. ITs not something to be ashamed about and thats why am putting it out there. I know we all like to act like AIDS only affects "them" and "we" will never be affected. but guess what? you might not contract it but maybe you know someone who has it or you lost a friend, pal, anyone to this disease. you think Education is Expensive? try ignorance...well fasten your seat belts..grab some tissues and let me give you some statistics.

1An estimated 33.4-million people are living with HIV/ Aids worldwide but only 40% know that they are actually infected, of whom about 22.5 million (range: 20.9 million - 24.3 million) are in sub-Saharan Africa where the adult infection prevalence is about 6%.

Approximately 14,000 new HIV infections occur daily around the world and over 90% of these are in developing countries. One thousand are in children less than 15 years of age. Of adult infections, 40% are in women and 15% in individuals of 15 - 25 years of age. Perinatal infection has resulted in a large number of children being born with HIV. 30-50% of mother to child transmissions of HIV results from breast feeding and about a quarter of babies born to HIV-infected mothers are themselves infected.

2. In October 2009, CDC released new estimates of the extent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These showed that 1,106,400 adults and adolescents were living with HIV infection in the United States at the end of 2006 (95% Confidence Interval: 1,056,400–1,156,400). This compares with approximately 994,000 infected Americans at the end of 2003 and 641,086 in 1996. Thus, HIV prevalence increased by approximately 112,000 (or 11%) from 2003 to 2006. This increase was expected and was the result of anti-retroviral treatment which greatly extends life and because more people become infected with HIV than die from the disease each year. Infected men heavily outnumber women with 828,000 cases in males and 278,400 cases in females (figure 10B).

Seventy percent of HIV-infected people in 2006 were between the ages of 25 and 49 (770,000 persons), 25% were age 50 and older (280,000 persons), and 5% were between the ages of 13 and 24 (56,500 persons). Approximately, 10,000 cases were estimated in children under age 13.

Nearly half of all people living with HIV in the U.S. in 2006 (48%, or 532,000 total persons) were men who have sex with men.

New infections

It was estimated that 56,300 people were newly infected with HIV in 2006 and 53% of these new infections occurred in gay and bisexual men.

3. The following states have the highest infections:California, Florida, New York State and Texas. Among the 50 states, the lowest numbers were in Vermont, South Dakota, Wyoming and North Dakota.

4. As of 2006 22,220 people in the Dallas area were infected with HIV and that number has increased by 42 %.

GOOD NEWS

The World health organization released a new publication two days ago saying we are finally winning the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. the number of infections has dropped by 25% within the last 5 years and that is GREAT news. more people are getting informed and taking initiative. they are hoping that by 2015 the pandemic will have reduced tremendously.

Use protection guys!!! This pandemic is real.

5 ways to be greater than Aids :

-Know the facts about HIV/ AIDS- http://www.greaterthan.org/know

-Talk- Start a conversation http://www.facebook.com/greaterthanaids

-Project - Use a condom

-Get tested 

Take action and start getting involved locally---if you are interested in this please call, txt, email, facebook or skype me. Please please get involved.

On that Note: Larona and I have decided to go get tested. This is our first step towards fighting the AIDS pandemic. Doesn't matter if you are a virgin or not. Get tested, there are SOOO many ways you can get this virus. TAKE ACTION. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CLINIC TO GET TESTED.

Pledge:  I have made a vow to start being publicly involved in combating this disease. As of nxt week..I will join Dallas county and Educating people around the metroplex about this disease and I will also be volunteering at this shelter and become a mentor to teen who are HIV positive. Its high time I start giving back to the community.

so you call yourself a man?

Men say that women have too much problems and a lot of issues. We gossip, betray and ridicule each other behind our backs. “We’re our worse enemies”. We bicker over everything and trip over small things. Oh yeah, let’s not forget that we argue too much right? Oh no wait, we must be on our period. Well why does it seem like it’s mostly men who have all these troubles? This isn’t some current observation either. For the past few months, I’ve noticed more & more men carrying themselves as if they have more estrogen then us. Engulfed in everyone’s business other than their own & suck their teeth when told to mind they own business. Kissing their homeboys' butt  24/7, while they roll their eyes when a female acknowledges them. Matter fact, they’re also starting to lack more and more respect for us women and they are taking over every last bit of the “traits” they claim we carry. They don’t want to work for their own anymore. They want us to pay for their dinners. They want us to help heal their emotional scars. They want us to drive them everywhere. They want us to give them all the affection while they behinds just lay there. Is this like an epidemic or am I just being delusional? They whine and complain about how there are “no good women out there” yet when there’s one right in their face, they don’t know what to do with her.

And then you have the good-for nothing fakes skunks. You meet them and they make you feel like you are the queen of the world. They act like a guy out of a movie...untill they meet another chica then they toss you to the side and start acting like you are dog poop. some of em dont even know the difference between a good woman and a loser coz they are sooo messed up in their soup loaded heads they don't know anything.



Women know exactly what you desire & we satisfy your needs. We know how to play the role. We already established our independence. Our careers. Our finances. We know when to bring half to the table. We know how to support & comfort. We also nurture and raise your children. We pretty much don’t ask for much anymore but companionship. But what do we get in return? A first class offer of some of your dry flaccid d***. Matter fact, at this day and age, we’re lucky if we even get offered the being that your boy’s probably sucking it as we speak…..



Don’t get me wrong & confuse this current blog as if I’m “man bashing”. I am not. I absolutely love real men who are not afraid to swallow their pride, push aside their egos & embrace a woman for what she represents, where she’s coming from, who she is & where she’s going. I am currently NOT in a relationship with any man and am loving it.... I’m simply putting it out there about the men who are really little boys. Fronting like they got it all under control. I am capable of seeing right through you. Just because I smile in your face everyday doesn’t mean that I’m not on to you. That’s called being polite & avoiding conflict. You guys knows exactly how to prey on certain women. You seek & probe for a particular weakness & then you prey on it. This is how us women get caught up with these men.



Overall, it’s too easy for us to know when you’re full of crap. The truth will always prevail. Presenting yourself as if you got your mess together, but you don’t. Acting like you’re a grown  man, but still living with your mother with a suitcase filled of excuses of why you’re still there. You wanna know why it’s so easy for us to move on? Well frankly, because being with you makes us feel like lesbians. If we wanted to date a woman we would go and get the real thing. Not some gender born man acting like a  lady. You’re not as irresistible as you think you are, you’re not completely over her, your stuff ain’t that big (matter fact it stinks) and you are not God’s gift (despite what you think). Reevaluate yourself and figure out what do you really have to offer a woman before you talk out the side of your neck. Quit wasting everyone’s time and start acting like a gentleman. You call yourself a “king”? Prove it. You’re only making yourself look worse by disrespecting us. We have come a long way and well deserve the same amount of respect and gratitude you do. Never mind what your ex-girlfriend did, how the video vixens dress or what ignorant “advice” your mother gave you. What has she done to you to deserve the disrespect you have given her? That’s exactly what most of us women are asking today. And I have yet to find the answer to that question…. and oh before you go walking around claiming how cute you are...hhmm maybe you need to purchase a new mirror.



So before you fix your lip to call your queen the B word (or some random negative adjective)….you better take a good look into that wide mirror you got in your bathroom dude. The term B**CH is dripped all over you. yeah You.

What is a good man?

So my girfriends and I have talked about this for ages!! So I decided to blog about this hot topic. Lets first start with What is a good man?
According to Me, Linda Juma, the definition of a good man is a Man who knows himself, knows what he wants in life, confident, respectful, HONEST, LOYAL, etc .and the list goes on. Now there is a fine line between confidence and cockiness.  If all he cares about is how he looks then he is cocky. RUN> Big egos are unattractive and stupid.I can personally tell you I do not like cockiness. And thats where I draw the line. If I ask a dude what do you want in life? and he answers me..OMG He just went from cute to HOT in 5 seconds!! Thats HOT!! I dnt care what you say but this man is focused, he has long term and short term goals and guuurrrrllll am digging that!!
Secondly I love an attractive guy. Now whats cute to me may not be cute to you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And by attraction I dont mean the Physical..there are alot of elements that define "attractiveness".
I just have to tell my ladies that we have lowered our standards and expectations alot. We live in a society of instant gratification and therefore we tend to fall for  anything that comes our way simply because we want to fit in and we don't want to be the chic who rides solo. BAD MISTAKE. Ok so am going to get a little personal here: I hate opening up but if you read my blog last week about facing my fears I did say am going to start letting go and just opening up. So here I go:

I am 24 and I have made ALOT of mistakes in my past relationships that upto this day I still beat up myself for those mistakes. In one of my relationships, I put up with soooo much. I tolerated the good, the bad, the ugly andI  was "afraid" to just speak my mind fully because I felt like I was going to lose him. Boy was I wrong ?!! It got worse and worse and by the time I finally decided to confront him..it was too late. Prior to this relationship I was in a very unhealthy relationship. Once again I was trying to be the cool "21st century tough chic who doesnt care what a man does to you" WRONG! Even the strongest people do have emotions...I crumbled and yeah it ended. So After receiving so many emails from my female subscibers begging me to blog more about realtionships and asking me for advice I decided to complie a list of helpful tips you can use to ensure you are in a healthy relationship. Its hard for people to believe this but I am no relationship expert..I just handle issues differently than most females.

1. Communication is key. Infact communication is like the bonding glue that binds the love together. If he or you cannot communicate effectively than TRUST ME..you are bound for failure. Take it from me. I am speaking from experience. Learn to acknowledge when you are wrong and appreciate them for who they are.

2. If the focal point of the relationship is sex than he is a jerk. you cant meet me at noon and want to boogie me at 2 pm. Thats BULL. RUN!!! If a man wants to truly know you..he will wait and take time. Ok ladies this is where most chics just take it overborad. Just coz he is waiting doesnt mean he is not getting it anywhere else. Most males cannot go a sex diet. He will wait..YES> coz he respects you and is waiting for when you are ready..thats GREAT!! but honey listen here...since you aint opening up your romping shop..he is buying candy at someone else's kitty. THEN when you do decide that you wanna get in a exclusive realationhip..he might get rid of his "friend with benefits" and just rock your boat or he might keep you both just incase he wants to get a different flavor coz we all know strawberry all the time can be boring so once in a while he might want vanilla...JUST SAYING!

3.Mutual respect is a MUST> America as a society has really bashed men and given too much power to women simply coz for the longest time..men really mistreated their women. But what most people dont realize is some women out there do abuse their men. Yes it happens and if you arguing we can go toe to toe. Some men out there are being beaten and bused but since soceity all thinks only women get battered...this issue gets swept under the rag. Main point here is Respect your man and please guys..TREAT US LIKE QUEENS. I kknow this is a touchy tipic and am not trying to defend men here..am just saying..we should be fair.

4. Watch how he treats his mom and sisters and how he interacts with your friends. Enough said

5. Do not be overly submissive and needy...its a huge turn off to the gents. Be independent...do your thing and let him do is.

6.Ladies: carry yourself in a decent manner.

7.Look for men in the right places. If you met him at the club..goodluck. Look for a good christian man with strong moral values. I gotta tell you though I have a long list of what I look for in a man and actually one of my friends told me that he thinks am looking for Jesus. And I have made a mistake of just forgoing my list and falling in love with men who dont even care about who God is. And it ended BAD!! SO please ladies...get real. and oh please make your expecations real not fantasy.

8. He has to be honest!!! and Trust is a very important element of a relationship.

9.Love yourself first and accept who you are. Men are not meant to make us happy...they are meant to be our companions, and recreate with us..if you are not happy from within then NO MAN will fill that void. Work on yourself first before you go dumping all your insecurities on a man.

10. Mr perfect doesnt exist!!! YOu have to pick and choose what is important to YOU. its all about Compromise!!

ABOVE ALL...PUT GOD FIRST!!!!

I gotta be honest..I could not cover everything in this blog. I could blog all day about relationships. But worry not I will answer all your questions.

P.S..am think of just doing video blogs instead of writting. But thats a whole different story because I need to buy a good camera and yadda yadda... and when I do decide to launch my video blogs I will have guest bloggers with me and it will be fun, fun, fun!!!!!

NOTE: Nxt week is Know your status week. so am urging all people...especially the youth to go out and get tested. Many clinics in the DFW area will be giving out FREE tests,,so pls know your status. You might be the faithful partner but you do not know what he/she is doing behind closed doors. Its funny how when swine flu broke out EVERYONE had a mask but yet no one wants to use a condom....The Irony of life.

Enjoy your weekend, don't drink and drive. Do not have sex without a condom...STDs are real. I truly love you all. Without my readers I would not be here today!! Thank you for those emails. GOD BLESS!!!

your mom may have lied to you...........

This is a must read blog regarding women from a male's perscpective...Enjoy and tell me if you agree with this or not!!!


Nice girls are great for friends. But Nice guys finish last AND SO DO NICE GIRLS.. Have you ever asked yourself ladies “why is he marrying that whore?” Um well.. (And this is tricky) But She talks alot of ish  and she may not have the JD.. BUT let me tell you what she does do well:


1. Speaks the King’s English



2. Has a good potential to raise the kids with some male help.



3. She’s our best friend mainly because she’s got core competency in conversations that require her to think “outside” of her female self. AND


Drum roll Please!


4* She’s a damn freak and plays it off well in the streets and her head is like Comcast.. “ON DEMAND”!! Blowin’ through those boxers like “PREPAID MINUTES” (See Broadway Keith on that last quote, lol) And she makes a show of it! Just like Mase said “Do it like you’re doing it for TV”. I mean, how much longer are we really going to stay mad, looking down at you?! Those chicks get wifed. And if not wifed, seriously engaged. And I hate to say it, but we will upgrade you to first class status if you can cook, make us look good, be a great team player amongst friends and family, keep our house a home or or apt looking like a good woman live’s in it, and um, one more thing. -watched Superhead/Mr. Marcus on DVD until she was able to do it with no hands..


Let’s be for real. Mama may have told you where the salad forks go, how to set a table.. Mama may have showed you how to wash and fold. She may showed you how to cook Thanksgiving dinner.. Mama taught you what to look for in a man.She may have even taught some of you how a proper woman sounds and while all that is still appropriate behavior, still very necessary qualities there’s more. If your MAMA did’nt give you a hoola-hoop when you were a child,, then your auntie should’ve. You can be the best housewife in this world, but if your man’s gotta go somewhere else because you’re too holier than thou to get busy to a rap song? then she set you up to fail.



Some men like how their relationship looks on the outside. Some men like how it performs on the inside. The one’s that like how it looks on the outside, have you to make it all look great on paper. Perfect, picturesque. But they’re the one’s that may have the other very functional counterpart: The infamous Jumpoff. WHY do you ask? Because the jumpoff represents balance. Balance between who he is in family mode and who he is in “man” mode. I mean ladies think about.. Before you, do you think he was super cerebral about the where’s the when’s and the how’s?? No. You were the ultimate “shit”. You looked good, you smelled great, your hair was perfect, your convo was right, your body is dope. And he looked past the fact that you were a deuce in bed because you had some many other things on the ball. The only problem is, if you’ve never been free to get it off with your chick the way you always wanted to, then guess what, you probably won’t and someone else is going to. And when everything is in place and there’s a free moment to just be himself, where MIGHT he go? take a guess… a guilt free bang out session


-Dinner & drinks at the W hotel: $230+tips

-Movie: $30

-Trip to the local Liquor store for some Ciroc to keep the party rollin: $40



-Not having to explain why you want to get dirty in the parking lot?: priceless


It’s tough to undo this kind of relationship, mainly because you’ve never known the truth anyway! The truth is every man could stand some unsolicited dirty “something or another”. Why?! because Eff  it.. THAT’s why.. Why in the car?! because it’s like when were younger, that’s why.. Why sloppy and messy because that’s the way they do it on TV! when we’re wishing we were getting some of that!! THAT’S why!! The sadity sex game is out! I can’t reiterate this enough.. It’s a recurring theme. look at it this way, if you have all of the other thing’s down pat it’s just one more thing. and with it, you can talk all the shit you want to.. You might even get a way with a little more.




Food for thought. that all. I’m not selling the truth. I’m just delivering it. You wanna control the relationship? Don’t shut us up.. SHUT US, THE EFF UP! Put that in your clutch bag..



There’s nothing sexier than a “take charge” wifey when the time’s right. You saw Mr Marcus stand down didn’t you…? Let your mother’s half be the good half.. But get youself a real good tutor for the “other” half..

the value of appreciation

* Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's alright because I love the way you lie*..Nah just kidding..keep lying to me and I will grab this chair and throw it in your face you TWIT...LOL oh sorry guys! as you can tell am jamming to Rihanna and Eminem....lets get to business shall we?

Ok so have you ever met a person or people who just never learned how to use these two simple words ?: THANK YOU...SIGH. there are people who NO MATTER what you do or say they will never ever ever ever see the good in you or appreciate anything you do for them.  And then ofcourse you have those who always judge others and criticize them all the time!!!so here are 2 cute stories I wanted to share with you guys:
story number 1:  Its a beautiful sunday morning so this wife decides to wake up a lil early and prepare breakfast for her husband in bed...aaww cute right? so her husband wakes up, and realizes that his wife is not in bed but he smells the sweet aroma of food being cooked. so he walks up into the kitchen, kisses his wife goodmorning. he then asks ..what's for breakfast? she says..well its a surprise hun. so he goes ahead and said ..mm sounds good. but while you making breakfast could you please make me two eggs? one scrambled and one boiled...the wife said ok. SO this chic..whips up some good yummy breakfast, set the table and when the husband sat down to eat. he looks right into his wife's face and utters these words :" honey you boiled the wrong egg"........*awkward silence*-------------* cricket chirp noise*.....WHAT THE HECK? HOW DID SHE BOIL THE WRONG EGG?

Moral of the story : Learn to appreciate the little that people do for you. This husband obviously is convolutted coz he didnt even think what the wife did what..all he could think about is "the egg"..out of 12 eggs how do you pick the wrong one?

Story number two: In the city of savannah, Georgia...A young couple bought their first home in a really upscale neighbourhood. lets name this family Mr and Mrs Brown. Six months later, their next door neighbour sold his house and therfore someone new moved in.  We will name the new family the Perrys.So every morning, Mrs Perry ( the new family that moved in) would do laundry and hang it outside to air dry instead of using a drying machine. Mrs West would always look outside the window and see how dirty the newly washed clothes looked. So Mrs west always complained to her husband about how their new neighbour's wife is dirty and stingy and doesnt know how to wash clothes coz they always look so dirty on the clothes line. She even one day went next door and took her detergent thinking maybe mrs Perry could not afford detergent thats why her clothes looked so dirty.
Behold one morning Mrs West woke up and as usual she looked outside the window and saw Mrs Perry hanging her clothes. But what was different this time was her clothes were sparkly clean!!!!! she ran upstaris to her husband saying honey!! honey!!! guess what? our neighbour's clothes are finally clean!!! she must have used that detergent I took her!!!!...the husband looked her in the eye and said " No honey, thats because I woke early this morning and cleaned our windows".....WOW...see the problem was not that Mrs Perry didnt wash her clothes well...the problem was that the Wests' windows were so dirty so they reflected anything outside to be dirty.

Moral of the story...alot of times we tend to judge others and think we better than them. First things first...look deep innside yourself and analyze yourself before you can project your insecurities and judgments toward others. Alot of times the problem lies within you but we are too busy focusing on the wrong thing so we end up blaming others for our misfortunes or thinking we are better than them. Remove the log in your own eye first, before trying to remove the speck in someone else's eye.

FAQ's

Here’s a list of common questions/emails I get. They’re not quite the norm I must say. But have no fear! I shall answer them all. Even the rude ones.

Q:How do you stay so strong and in control of yourself?

A:Don’t get it twisted, I lose control too. We all have our times when we fall apart and not feel strong. But what makes you move on is actually the inner strength you always had within. Just learn how to channel that same energy into bettering yourself and surviving out of your worst. I channel mine through music, going to church and shooting monkeys and jerks.

Q:I heard that you __________. Is that true?

A: Yup, it’s all true. That will always be my answer. I’ve realized that no matter what you say, people will still believe what they want. Regardless if the truth is staring right in your face. During my tenure on the world wide web, I’ve learned that people will judge you according to what was told to them. So why bother prove myself to anyone?

Remark:I can't stand you..
A :oh. that's too bad. you can sit me. There's always options!!

Q:Girl, let me tell what _____ said about you…

A: Actually, don’t. I’m well above that & frankly, I don’t care. oh but you can go tell  whoever talked to you about me to shove it up where the sun doesnt shine. :)

A:He just wanted relations...not a relationship!!

Q: What advice can you give a young lady trying to figure out if this dude is right for her or not?
A: Pray!!. Do not settle for anything less that what you dream of. never ignore those redflags. pay close attention to how he interacts with your family. If he tells you he loves you and he barely knows you.. RUN!! If he is rushing things it means he is PLAYER! If he stands you up on a date it means he is on a date with another FEMALE!!! if his actions dnt match his words it means he is a JERK.

Here we Go again...sigh

Hey People!! yep! I know I have been M.I.A for a while...worry not..am back!! This past week has been hectic. Bday plans, school, projects, the list goes on. SO yeah speaking of ..I am doing my Ochem homework and blogging at the same time!!! HA..BEAST MODE!!!!!!!! By the way.. I had A good Bday weekend... HAD FUN! Big thank you to all those that showed up and celebrated with Lala and I we really appreciate it. Dinner was GREAT!!!
BIG shout out to DJ Josh for making those reservations for us at Nai. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!! U R THE BEST!!!. and omg THE NUMEROUS BBDAY SHOUTOUTS AT NAI..DANG..WHAT A NIGHT!

So anyways, Tonight am here to rant and vent about life. No life is not fair. Aspiration is suckers and oh FYI life doesnt get better,only your perception of life improves...having said that...lets dig in :

Sometimes I wonder about myself. Am I normal? yes..atleast that's what I think. Am I perfect..NO..who is? So I think I have reached a point in life where am facing my fears. I am afraid to do so coz facing your fears includes opening up and allowing myself to be vulnerable...thats a HUGE risk. Experience has taught me that opening up can be disastrous. Why am i saying this? coz it is. So let me paint the picture for those that are lost here:
Female, 5' 6", medium-dark complexion, pre-pharmacy student, hopefully starting my Doctor of pharmacy and PhD program nxt year..yes I will do a joint degree..why? coz am an over achiever....24, single (YES), accomplished a few things in life but not where I want to be, they call her maserati or Lynn and oh yeah Has had several unsuccesful, horrid relationsips and hhmm maybe 1 or 2 "good" ones. not bad right ? BLAH. so am sure you going uuhhh so what is she rambling about?  i have one major problem...TRUST!! I think I've always been fearful of really feeling.  Fearful of letting someone know what's in my head, what makes me tick.  I think I took some kind of comfort in someone wondering what I was about, because I rather be a mystery than be open.  Because when you're open, people can really do some damage to you, and then you start to regret unlocking that door in the first place...I have learned the hard way. TO be honest...I met this one guy and yes we  dated for a lil while and ha stupid me thought he was "the one" and whats funny is he is the only guy that made me feel like I was also his "one" am so glad am wise now....not mentioning names and He is the ONLY guy that I truly opened up to and just let him into my world. I mean I just let it all out and I trusted him coz he made me feel like I could trust him... Boy wasnt I wrong!!!! Lets just say I hope  is he happy where is at. Do I regret opening up to him? a little..not gonna lie... but oh well it is what it is. At the same time you cant live all your life worried about people and whether or not they gonna let you down or not.

We all want that perfect life...that great boyfriend, good job, lots of money, blah blah but truth is..there is a thick line between fantasy and reality. I mean I feel like I have met great people whom I just refuse to give a chance and then the minute I say to myself..am gonna give "this one" a try...HA. CHINEKE OH!! Thats the dude that just does you damage. You pls God, give me the serenity to know the difference between the good and Bad. I'm honestly sick of getting hurt...its stupid!!!! After 24 years of being a resident of utopia and living the fantasy life..its about time I snap into reality.

I have decided to:

Face myself

Confront

Open up

Experience

Feel

take chances

Accept

have faith

Let go

Let God.



NAMASTE!!!!!!!!

The single experience

"Why are you single ?" is the most popular question I get almost everyday of my life. Its just a default question. Well If I knew why am single I would not be single right? I mean that's like asking me why am black..why don't you ask my parents? I just found myself black. Now people take this whole single train to a whole new level of desperation. Just coz I don't have "Reggie" or "Sean" by my side does not mean that am unhappy, or something is wrong..NO...am single because I have NOT found true love. I am single for the same reason the sky is blue and the grass is green. I was having a convo with this stranger I ran into on campus. He "saw" me and I think he "liked" what he saw so he decided to "holla" at me. and his first question was "why you walking alone lil shawty...I thought you was here with you man or dip or somebady"...by the way guys...never cal me lil shawty coz I HATE being called that. SO I responded and said well am single...he opened his eyes as if he had been stricken with lightining.." watchu mean you is single? I mean you look good...body banging and  ish...cute behind..matter fact imma call you bubble booty or better yet bubble butt"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....THAT REALLY ANGERED ME!!!! Take your ghetto self home...uugghhh and for some reason his cologne smelled like NARNIA...anyways...I do not have a definite answer why am single. But  I have reasons and here we go:

TOP REASONS WHY AM SINGLE :

1. Cupid has been shooting those arrows at a bad angle.  So yeah when I actually think of love and romance,the last thing on my mind is a chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.....oh well.

2. I'm single coz am stubborn (in a good way). I REFUSE to lower my standards for ANY man. I have done that in the past and look where it led me...BEING SINGLE AGAIN.I am not experiment-driven..this is not a science lab..its real life. I will not date  you just coz I wanna "see how it goes" or I just want to "use" you. NO. I will be 24 soon so that teenage fiznuck is DONE!! am looking for someone who keeps it real. The minute I find out you a LIAR and a PLAYER..R.I.P coz you are DEAD to me....

3. I'm single coz I have an obsession with a "classy, intelligent man"..let me make this clear...By classy I simply mean a man of good character, no grillz in your mouth, no thug-like attitude, no ghetto talk, clean shaven brutha or any other race who strives towards leading a good life. You do not have to drive a mercedes or BMW, NO. as long as you trying and making an effort..am all for that! That does not mean I've always been with classy men. NO. and I repeat NO.. NO and once again NO.

4. I'm single coz my vision about my future is GRAND! My significant other has to understand that I have been working on my dream my whole life and he has to be able and willing to be there for me emotionally..notice I did not say financially coz guess what? I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY! And I will also support you in your efforts towards having a better future. you just cant come in my life and have it your way and want this and make me put my plans on hold..NO..this aint burger king fool, so you cannot have it your way. Its about "us", not you and I...US baby..US..get it?

5. I'm single because lets face it...good men..especially good black me are hard to find. But thank you Lord for my open mind coz am not even waiting for a black man. Yes, I prefer chocolate. I love me Black men but guess what? There's other races too. SO I will not just let a chance by simply because am waiting for that hood rat broad! no. But back to my point..I like a guy that will challenge me, someone spontaneous, fun, interesting..in a good way. Now I don't mean you go 2 weeks without calling and come back with a lame-butt story and think that's being spontaneous...NO you being RUDE and Insensitive and a JERK ( yes I said it. go tell yo momma if u want). I want a guy that inspires me.. and I will inspire you.

6. I am single coz I will not allow ANYONE to make me feel like am not important or worthy. Once again...I have traveled down that road and never again.  am not perfect, I migght not be Halle Berry, or Beyonce ( I got her hips tho..whoop whoop..jk)...or whoever you so hold your standard to. BUT TO ME, I am the BOMB! end of story.

7. I have ZERO tolerance for ignorance . I am allergic to ignorance and I cannot stand ignorant men who walk around thinking they are the ish when in reality they just suck! thats my opinion by the way. you might not agree with me but opinions are like elbows..we all have em. so yeah if you are ignorant then you suck! TO ME.

8. I am single coz I want you to teach me or I teach you something you already don't know.  show me something I have not seen or experienced before. It does not have to be financial, or physical ..DO it mentally and emotionally. Show me we are in this together. Be there 100 % and i will be there 100 %...this is all that matters.

9. Am single coz am gullible. I don't trust easily. Experience has taught me that men lie easily..with a straight face..so I keep my emotions a secret and I tend to just not believe what they tell me. In other words I have built a 7 layer  brick wall around my heart.

10. Finally..am single because am working on being the BEST girlfriend, wife, whatever I can ever be. Nuff said. I refuse to define myself by anything, other than THE BEST!!!

Am alone but not lonely...so do not get it twisted. Am still open to options. Being single and an emotionally healthy woman is not a curse. Its a blessing in disguise. I have learned GREAT lessons that I have enabled me to lead a better life today.  Am single because I am able to be. Its my choice and am happy with it. When I wake up every morning, I look in the mirror and I LOVE what I see. I thank GOD for ending all my past relationships because even though at the time I thought I was happy and in love. No..I was miserable and in unhealthy relationships. superficial love is not my cup of tea..that's for the vultures.

THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!!

ITS A CRISIS!!!!!

Lately I've been going through a healthy life-style crisis. Knowledge is power..so for those that don't know..I recently went natural. I ended my horrible, abusive marriage to relaxers and I CUT my hair into a teeny weeny afro. So I started researching on "good" products to use on hair and in the process I learned that almost 98% of the products in the market right now contain HARMFUL ingredients that is not only BAD for your hair and scalp, but also carcinogenic (cancer causing)...SIGH..Are you ready for this? SOME of these ingredients are actually present in some food items...GO FIGURE!! and some of these foods actually claim to be "natural" and I was like hmmmm I gotta find out some more info. SO for the past one month I have been spending time researching on the whole "natural" vs "organic" craze and here we go. I am about to BURST your bubble : Natural and organic ARE NOT..I repeat ARE NOT! the same thing. Consumers are misled, mis-advised, mis-educated, misinformed, misguided, mis-communicated, mis-conceived misdirected – well you get the idea – the American people have failed to notice what the food industry is doing to them. We need to wake up and SEEK THE TRUTH and see what the world is becoming.

Natural just simply means produced or existing in nature! see...that simple! It other words..mother nature!!
In the food industry today, there's NO official definition of "all natural." It means whatever the food companies want it to mean. It can mean, for example, that all the chemicals found in the product simply aren't listed on the label. (There's no requirement for food companies to list chemical contaminants found in their foods.) According to the FDA – their definition of “natural”…Natural foods are processed without preservatives or additives, but may have been grown with the use of pesticides or other conventional methods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the term ‘natural’ only as it applies to added color, synthetic substances, and flavors. Meaning..A food label that says "natural" can actually contain ingredients that are not included on the label...including harmful synthetics, and polymers used as preservatives and EVEN a monkey's BUTT..just anything guys!!!

Infact I was at Kroger and saw a bag of cheetos with a label that said natural. Now as I just defined above..Cheetos DO not exist in nature. I have never come about a cheetos tree or pringles leaves or better yet.. I have NEVER heard of or seen lake Koolaid. But since they used vegetable oil derived from a Plant and they also used water in the process of making cheetos and other snacks the FDA claims its OK to say cheetos or fanta, or pepsi are natural.

On the other hand the production of organic foods helps to honor the balance of nature through “old fashioned” farming methods. Conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, antibiotics and growth hormones are never used on organic farms. Instead, they use renewable resources and focus on soil and water conservation to help preserve the environment for future generations.Organic farming is also regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) according to strict quality standards for growing and handling. To locate USDA Certified Organic products in the store, look for the USDA seal which ensures the product is 95-100% organic.

Food companies know that most people do not know the difference between these two terms, and most people equate natural to healthy.. NO. Be a smart consumer..READ THE INGREDIENT LABELS!!!! DO not just fall for advertisement. " NATURAL CANDY", "NATURAL POTATO CHIPS".. UNLESS YOU PLANTED THE "CHIPS" THEN ITS NOT NATURAL. SO yeah thats my haul and rant about FALSE marketing and food labeling in America. its angers me very much!!! IN OTHER WORDS : UNLESS IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM MOTHER NATURE'S BUTT TO YOUR PLATE THEN ITS JUST NOT THAT GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!

And as far as my hair goes..I found several  organic..yes organic hair care products but I chose to try out the Shea moisture products line...ITS AMAZING!!! All natural and organic ingredients...and its affordable. COz there is no way in hell am paying 20 bucks for an organic hair product!! NO NO NO...but shea moisture products are great and you can find them at TARGET!!! (yeah baby) for only 9.99...can all the college students say AMEN PLEASE? this product line is great for both men and women and they do carry facial body and hair products.... http://www.sheamoisture.com/ If you wanna order online!!

And that my earthlings is the end of my rant. I mean cancer is on the rise and am just trying to take steps towards a healthy, lifestyle...which by the way for those that DO not know...I have been flexitarian for a year now..meaning am not 100% vegeterian yet. I only eat meat when am eating out or visting someone. But at home..we do cook meat like once a month. hopefully I will be 100 % vegeterian but GOD knows I love me some fried chicken ( I live up to my tribe's stereotype)..and BEEF..oh lawd!!!! Anywho, we shall see how that goes.

P.S I have gained 12..yes you heard me 12 pounds since April...sigh!! No am not obese and am not fat.."fat" is NEVER used in my vocabulary. I am just a thickum. I got sum sum extra.. kinda like "extra fudge chocolate cake. Its still chocolate cake BUT with a extra fudge...hhmmm am still " Linda" with just extra toppings. And am supposed to be training for my second half marathon which is not going very well!! I gotta get back in shape ASAP!!!

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!!!


.

Lets talk Black

Someone just asked me yesterday why black women are so angry! Well thats a good question but sad enough I didnt have the answer because I really do not fall into that stereotype. Ok I do have my "moments" where am just moody, agitated, ( yes we all do.so dont even think about judging me)..whatever but am not an angry person! But that question really made me think..hhmmm you know what? this is something juicy to blog about..just black people in general.

I have my own gripe about black men..but oh well..that requires a whole year for me to vent about "those" men. So yeah back to angry black women....not all black women are angry but some of them are. Its almost like "we" ( i use we because am black, but not because am full of drama...) always have our defenses up...."what did you say? Did she just?... oh Hell NAW!!!! Tasha..hold my purse while i take care of biznizz"...*walk towards individual and snaps her fingers with fake nails*..."Now you listen up B***...you do not...."...yeah we have all seen this stuff....Now theres is a difference between being a no nonsense kinda girl and just being plain old full of drama. Some people need to chill. Theres more to life than popping gum, snapping fingers rolling eyes and twirling your bad weave. CALM THE DEUCE DOWN!!! ITS NOT THAT BAD OK???!!!

SO how about the black women who always complain about "I don't got a man"..well have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, if you opened up to dating other races you would have a man? Listen...am not trying to bash your preference..coz I know some women who straight up just lke chocolate. NO VANILLA!! and thats ok! but If you dont have a man right now..just calm down..MR right is coming..he just got lost or maybe he stopped at popeyes to getchu some fried chikin ok? Ok seriously..alot of us (irregardless of race) tend to just over complain about being single and we get desperate. SO what happens when you get desperate? you settle for anything with a tail and you end up being hurt! Love takes time...gosh dont I just know this oh too well now! Do not rush. Keep it cool. Pray about it and you will find mr right. stop falling for these hood rats!!! And I know some girls are bitter coz some guy cheated on her and she just thinks all men cheat! well technically they do (oh boy) But Not really....do you get it? ah whatever! and uuuuuuuu here is some advice to all my sistas : I know we all wanna have this "I dnt take sh*t from men" kinda attitude and we go overboard with it. hence when we even find out that "he" was cheating on you with "her" we call "her " up and try and start drama...NOOOOOOOOOOO. Let her have him!!!! ITs good to donate to charity once in a while! JEEZ!

You know whats funny tho? Most black men DO NOT like intelligent, confident BLACK women....hmm I wonder why? well I think its coz opposites attract!!...NO offense but its kinda true. Its ridiculous!!SO what happens? Ladies will lower thier standards just so to attract this one BROAD!!!!..FREEEEAAAKKKK THAT!!!! Stop the madness.

So this one if for all black people in general : stop complainin about race ALL the time! yes I know its hard being a black person in America but truly speaking..must everythiung that doesnt go your way have to be blamed on race? hmmm thats something for you to think about!

Oh well...Its bed time for me. I could jibber jabber all night long about black people and their stereotypes! I just need to write a book. oh before I sleep...so one of my homeboys called me up tonight and was like he wants to set up a blind date for me! am like what the deuce man? Now I have never been on a blind date but am not too crazy about em either. Number one...am just a weird kinda girl. I am just easily amused but not easily impressed. It takes alot to get on my O WOW list. But again...I tend to be attracted to guys that are just bad news for me. I mean for realz...the kind of guys that put D is dissaster. The ones your mama warned you about....YEA THOSE! and right now am at a point where getting in a sertious relationship is not on top my list. I just wanna kick it and have fun for a lil bit...with normal people not creepers!!! so my conclusion: NO BLIND DATE!! ugghh that sounds mean...Ok to be fair I will pray about it and see what God says! I just hate first dates...so uncomfortable and...ggrrrrrrr

announcement : Pls pls pls..am beggin you...do not give out my number to your friends in a ttempt to try and hook me up. no no no.that mess has resulted into my life being miserable coz I have STALKERS!!!! NO BUENO!!! consult with me before giving out my number coz am done with this fiznuck!!!

My Bday is coming up!!!!! nuff said!!! Lets just say am ready to boogie woogie!!!!!!

Big shout out to my homeboy LEWIS!!! ...good stuff  happening to him right now but I cannot share (sorry guys!) GOD JUST OPENED THOSE SHOWERS OF BLESSING IN HIS LIFE!!!

Anyways...Good night home skillets!!!!!!!

YES ITS A DUCK!!!!

I came across this interesting blog/relationship website and in light of my last entry, I wanted to share it with you. I think women should use this as a "guide," not a bible to their relationship troubles. I was wary about putting this up because women, sometimes when they get something they think is "newfangled" when in reality its just common sense, they go overboard and fit all the little tips in little boxes and screw up. (I.E., ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN). But when it comes to, what was his name? Baggage, I think you're safe in exploring the articles on this blog and getting an idea of the "ass-clown,' as the articles refer to Baggage, that you're dating, share a baby with, or are married to.




www.baggagereclaim.co.uk



The particular article I came across "Women who talk and think too Much" is about wasting your time explaining things to a man that just does not want to listen. A lot of women have been through the situation where they want to know the direction their relationship is taking (if there even is a direction, some of you are strictly in the do not pass go zone), or something messed up has happened in the relationship and they NEED to ask their men WHY they did it, how it made them FEEL, and how WRONG it was, when these men are smart enough to know all these things without you telling him, he just did not care enough to not do them. I'm not talking about how you got all dressed up one night and he forgot to tell you how nice you look, I'm talking about how you got all dressed up one night to spend time with him and he forgot to show up. Women spend so much energy talking, talking, and more talking, and what does he give you. A bunch of one word answers, just stares at you, maybe even flips it on you and tell you how you messed up. What women are missing is that Baggage's head is obviously not where your head is at. He's doing everything ON HIS SCHEDULE. He will communicate with you on a NEED TO KNOW. So get with the program and bounce chica. Chuck dem deuces!



If I had a dollar for every time one of my girls asked me should I call him to talk I would be rich. I have to ask, why you always calling him to talk. Don't yall just talk, communicate, share, whatever. Track how many times you called to "talk" and I bet every single one of them was because something bad happened. If that's the case, you need to put on them Nike's, start running, and never look back. But do they, no. I get the return phone call, we argued. Duh. Did he apologize? Not for why I am upset but for something else (p.s that dude is slick, cause he can apologize entirely for something else and got you thinking you've won...bahahahahahaha). Duh. So are you guys going to meet up to make up? No. RUN B*TCH RUNNNNNNNNN! A man does not have to spend every waking minute of the day with you. You don't need to speak every day. But when situations start getting rough in your relationship, and there is not enough communicating in the relationship and spending Quality time to work out the kinks, girl get a clue. He's telling you he's not in it/interested enough/too tired whatever to work things out with you so let it go. Don't wait for him to tell you to go. Men who generally do bad things are so screwed up that they still don't want to be the bad guy. Don't waste your brain matter trying to figure out the absurdity of it. They are going to do enough to make you tired and give you the boots to start walking, so when they do get to gettin.



Stop holding on to the one you're with who's not with you, and get READY for the one who will want to be with you. And please women, get yourself ready for him. If all you're relationships are like this one, you're not yet ready for a man who is ready to be with you, because you'll either A) love to easy or B)punish that man for the last man's mistake. Examine and cleanse yourself spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically to turn all the lemons your relationships has given you into lemonade.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE! : TODAY IS MY ONE MONTH NAPPIVERSATY!!! meaning..I've been natural for one month!! yaaayyy...I love being natural. I dnt miss that creamy crack rubbish!! If any girls out there are thinking of going natural...just do it! you will love it! my hair is healthier, thicker, and believe it or not easier to maintain. I love my texture and the versitility that comes along with natural hair. AM loving this this natural journey!!!!

Another rant.......

1.I am NOT ditzy. Not simple. Not your escape. Not your experience. Not a puppet.  or a sock monkey. Or a cartoon. Or a reality tv show. I am a real girl. I cry and scream and feel badly about myself and wish i was better and wish i was chosen and loved. I do not wish to be the girl who taught you something about yourself, or the girl with whom you sewed your royal oats. I am not to be tuned into.. and tuned out of. I'm not your vacation from reality. I am not your holiday.

2.Seriously...nowadays I go through my day and end up infuriated. Fury just oozes out of me like you would not believe. I can guarantee you that by 7 p.m (for the last 2 weeks), every day..I am fuming, seething and Livid at the sheer number of vast imbeciles who think that they are too cool for life...for some reason they think they are doing me a favor by being my "friend". Aaaaahhh...NEWSFLASH : before you life was pretty cool. how do you think I survived back before I knew someone by the name of "you" existed?..hhmmm EXACTLY!! with or without you life goes on. WORD!!!!...

3. How many times have I said I hate Fake friends and Liars? ...ok these people are the kind that act all nice in your face, and tell you what you wanna hear, when you wanna hear it, how you wanna hear it and they sound soooooo genuine. HA! little do you know they are just lil scummies, good for nothing maggots!!! They are Professional FAKERS!! Beware...run from them. They are just in your life to use you, or tag you along their so called "life"..puh leez!!! give me Break!!!! pppssshhhh...how about you go kick rocks, jump into a sewer, or go fly with pigs for all I care! and pls LEAVE!! just WALK AWAY and never come back!!! On that note : NOOOOO you cannot stand under my umbrella....thats Rihanna's job.

4. When you are single, all you see is happy couples...hhmmm..It gets better...when you do actually get into a "relationship"...all you see is happy singles...yeah dudes, and dudettes, the grass isnt always green on the other side. SO my advice is...you either stay single and miserable; Or get played...ooppps MY BAD , I meant get into a bloody fiznuck relationship and wish you were dead! ....Ok its not that bad. Ladies : Get rid of that Zero and get you a hero. Just use your head not your heart! but dang! these males are getting worse by the second. they Lie thru their teeth like there's no tomorrow. Lie, Lie, Lie, They even Lie to you about their NAME. You are just their toy. It never fails!!!! am not saying all guys are sick...no....Mr rights do exist....where they are is the mystery I've yet to solve. But boy oh boy...Dont I just loooove being single!!! Enough said...fill in the blanks!!!

5. Time to get rid of some toxic friends....goodbye!

6.Eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk............Time for my to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzz's. Goodnight and much love to those that matter :)

What the bloody fiznuck????

Nothing annoys me more than poor communication skills!! I cannot even hammer this enough!! COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL IN THIS LIFE!!!!! let me be fair here :so according to the webstar dictionary : communication is an act or instance of transmitting a verbal or written message. Ok now that I have cleared the air..lets jibber jabber.

I do not consider myself the smartest chic...nope. All I do is TRY and use my common sense and in the process...I get called Intelligent. pretty cool huh? BUT the funny thing about common sense is that its not very common. I understand we all come from different backgrounds, For some English is their second language and as a result they struggle with direct translation from their native language...which I totally understand. But what about someone who has spoken english their whole life..might not be your first language but you know grammer rules and all that yummy stuff...WHY oh WHY can't you just communicate correctly ;and Technology is supposed to make our life easier but I think its making us stupid. Whats up with the whole 160 characters to send a text? hmmmm...so now we ought to send a whole message in 160 characters and now all hell breaks lose and all the shenanigans arise. Here is an example:
" Hey do you like Kanye's new album"?..Here is the fabulous response : " Yah. He be on dat sweet sh*t. watchu think doh? we was jammin 2 it and I was like this sh*t is da dopest!!!...
Ok ok ok..I do abbreviate also..but what is going on here? The past, present, future and non-existing tense are all used in one sentence. Or I hate it wen kyds type lyke dis.."oh hey waddup!!!" nun much just chillaxin with ma mama..N oh guezz wat? tammara (tomorrow), I be goin shopping at da mall....there's a reason English is a compulsory subject in schools. This generation is a GONE case!!!

OH ha..it gets better...the dude thats trying to holla at you or whatever and he cannot even spell anything..or make sense at all YET he just claimed he has a master's degree...REALLY? now if you are educated as you claim and you are trying to ask ME out...NEWSFLASH : you better communicate right!!! Proper englsih at that. and act professional just like you claim. I play scrabble guys so bad spelling is annoying..well we all have typos here and there but just CONSTANT spelling errors make me want to pull my hair OUT!!!! NO NO NO.... ugghhhhh

Another thing that I hate is people who have this  lame attempt at trying to keep themselves informed. How about you do us a favor? Research your information before you open your mouth..or if you simply have no clue about what is going on..you have the right to remain silent. Do you know what am talking about? yeah you do...people who try Sooo hard to impress their man, woman, co-workers, etc... so you blab and jibber jabber and act like you are informed...*awkward silence followed by cricket noise*....LAME!! Just be like me...if you DO not know it...shut up!!! you cannot be mr or miss know-it-all... be humam for once and stop the global warming with frying our brains with nonesense.

How about Mr/Miss me too....NOW these are the people that you could really kick them where the sun doesn't shine...Here is a random example :  " I love Benihana's..especially their california rolls with avocado"....here comes mr or mr unoriginal : " OMGEE!!!! me tooo...I love their spaghetti too"....SIGH..WHAAAAATTTT? NOOOOOOO Benihana's is a japanese restaurant and they DO not serve pasta!!!!..or how about " Hey I would love bleu cheese on my burger instead or american cheese"..."oh me too except I want my cheese melted"...NKT!! bleu cheese does not melt honey!! how about just ask if you are unsure or just be you. Ok you get the point!!

TO ALL BLACK KIDS : Please go to college. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the next big rapper but what happens when you do not have a hit anymore? YEP you know it. get an education to fall back on. Stop day dreaming about crap!! Get you Butt to school.

SO yeah, Even if you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, at least spare us the pleasure of hearing things you know nothing about, or disdain for those of us who do like to learn. You don't see me giving you the eye when you tell me about your new Xbox game, or those new Christian Louboutins you refuse to shutup about. I like all those things too, but its not the only thing I talk about.




So don't be a dummy, or try REALLY hard not to come off as one. At least find something of interest outside of your daily routine and expand your knowledge base. Don't be comfortable in ignorance.
