My Life, The Saga (part 3? WTF??)

Note: I wrote the following note as a disclaimer for the drama unnecessarily started (on Facebook, lmao I know right?) as a result of my blogs entitled "My Life, The Saga." For all of you who have read it, furthermore for those of you who actually care (why I dunno it's just a story, really), my intention was to tell a story. So that's what it is. If you care to identify yourself as the person in the story, do so. But know that no, the whole story is not included in my story cuz I don't want it to be. Thank you.

YEA...so
Lemme start by thanking everyone for reading my notes. I know I have a sharp tongue. But I say things knowing the responsibilities. Anyone I KNOW I offended I personally apologized to already, due to the fact I would rather not use identities to apologize here.
I appreciate anyone who reads my work. You are using your time to read my bullshit. That means alot.
NOW, the binizz,
To ALL MY FRIENDS. Please stop commenting IN DEFENSE of the note, or any comments to you because of it. I want you NOT involved w/my issues. I wrote this note as a story, a saga. Some things were true, some weren't. IT'S MY STORY AND I'LL LIE IF I WANT TO, LIE IF I WANT TO, LIE IF I WANT TO...
Which is why I did not want anyone taking it, or RESPONDING to it, personally. The reason I decided to tell a part of my past is because it's just that...the past. I've met endless women who are in similar positions and were relieved to know they weren't alone. I don't write to offend, or to get a response. I write to write. Some of my most favorite and best worked on blogs most ppl never looked at. That's how it is. However, when I get responses, whether negative or positive, I take it as me being an inspiration. I've been told I have inspired others to write and open their thoughts and express themselves. I've heard using this talent is therapy. THAT'S WHAT I DO IT FOR.
I did not want anyone arguing and bickering over my past. I am at the point in my life where I'd love to tell anyone I care about the exact truth bout me. Plus I just don't care.
Yea I've cheated, Yea I've lied, Yea I've went ham, gone violent, threatened suicide and homicide, and went totally nuts. Been called a hoe, hey I could be, but whoever thinks that STILL HAS NO COMPLAINTS. lol I'm a fool
But seriously, alot more ppl can relate to me than ya'll think. And if I'm the only one who has the guts to talk bout it, fine.
But I didn't wanna open the doors to "ALL MY BULLSHIT" lane. This was a story, all of you can believe what you want. That's the point. Every note I write you probably won't like. But unless it's in the news, I don't use names, so please respect that.
It's easy to get offended, and jump defensively to everything you think refers to you. But whoever feels it refers to you, if you feel the need to tell your side, that's the point to free speech. I love all of you, those who want me to rise, and those who want me to fall.
Oh...and as far as me and "The LaDonnas"...
Lol Me and LaDonna "Doonie" never got down. But me and LaDonna "Daykeeper" did. Happy now?

Peace ya'll

BTW...Yesterday was Michael Jackson's birthday. I really didin't want it celebrated this way, so today, everybody please be positive to make up for today's negativity. I love you all.

My Life, The Saga (part 2)...the Conclusion?

If you're reading this we can pick up where we left off. Now before I get up on her, lemme get the REST of the truth out
about him and I.
I too, was wrong, for he was still married also.Oh yea, I know. He married her at a very young age, but claimed it was over.
Oh he and I were still wrong, I knew better. But once again...ACCEPTANCE. I had alot of it at that time, especially for him.
Not to mention they hated each other and I figured even if they are still getting down, at least they play it off well enough
to not get in the way of us. Plus the divorce came shortly after, she went on to start a family and so forth.
AND...I still had not broken off my relationship with MY ex boyfriend. Nothing sexual, but we kept in contact. And that
was wrong. So don't think I'm judging this woman. I'm scandalous myself.
I had to say this again I am NOT judging this woman. I just analyze what I see...and what I saw was scandelous.
I won't go into why her and her husband were already a part of my ex's circle. But when I entered the picture it was two adult
couples hanging out. All four of us, plus friends, would attend bars, parties, and chill. I dug her in the beginning, dug her
hard. I was attracted to her, not just sexually but the whole picture. A young, attractive, mother and wife, holding down a
great career and maintaining from what I saw a perfect marriage (her husband was fine I aint gone lie). But there were things
in the dark that were being revealed very early into my relationship.
My ex, first, assured me she was a ho. Period. He may have been lying, he may have just been joking, but after awhile it became
a lil joke between the 2 of us. Our comfortability as two adult couples led to deep conversations, including those of sexual
activities; group sex, who was REALLY sleeping with who...hell within the first 4 months of the relationship I had been
approached sexually by both her and the husband.
...now why did I agree to a 3some w/her? I'll tell you why. Cuz I wanted to. 2nd, I knew he wanted to also and like I said,
I go hard for mine. So it happened.
I later find out, the worst way, that they been fucking before, during, and she confirmed most likely after, the event.
He called and told me str8 up, they been fucking, and aint shit I can do about it. After calling him back and going ham he
apologized, but his reason was for my infidelity. I took that.
Lata down the line him and I get into this checking each other phone thing. I really never did it till I found out he was
cheating, and found a couple texts telling her he loved her.OOOOkay. I approached him with it, he said it aint like that, I
made sure to throw it in his face every opportunity I had, which probably made him feel good about continuing his relation-
ship w/her. I won't lie, in a relationship I'm a handful and a half.
Unfortunately, we gotta get back to the topic, her. I eventually got over the whole thing, but that feeling never left. The feeling that it really wasn't over between them. So, w/my bad self starting becoming a lil flirt. I talked shit, kissed a chick (yea that was bad) and had a co-worker who I regularly talked to. Only once did a situation arise when I almost sexually cheated on him, but I really didn't. At this point I wish I COULD say I did, it would feel good.
But I'm being honest, and that's the truth.
Now the present, after the run in with her outside his house she approached me, again, with a sexual offer. I decided this time, I'm either gone take it, or use it to my benefit. My ultimate goal was to get out of this situation as quickly as possible. What was holding me back? I STILL loved him.
So I pretended to be interested, sending back texts, calling her, telling her it's on. All the while I'm sending the messages
to my friends, getting help w/what to tell her, I turned it into a game. See I knew he'd check her phone eventually, and at
that point I was tired. I wanted to be the one everyone's mad at. I was sick of being the one w/feelings hurt.
So, as planned, he texted me back. I told him the TRUTH. I told him exactly what I was doing, even who was in on it, and my purpose. He texted back, w/apologies, and I too, apologized. So I'm like cool, he says he gon hit me back lata.
Bout 3 in the morning I get a call. Every1 who knows me knows I keep loud, obnoxious musical ringtones. I look at the phone,
it's him. So I call back a sec lata, thinkin it must be important. No answer. So instantly I knew he was on some sneakingaround cuz she there bull, or it was her. I texted back, saying man up, WHOEVER it is, cuz I'm up now and I'm ready to settlethis shit.
What she lets me know, well, I'd rather not elaborate. I think at this point I've made my point to all readers. When you find
yourself in a fucked up situation and stay because of LOVE, make sure that same love is strong enough to hold you. I to this day love that man, yea I know...it's been so long how the hell can you still love him? And my answer is, you ain't really been in love before. Whether negative or positive, a person can spin your life on or off its axis. This man was special,
DESPISE his flaws. He knows and ONLY he knows he was the most wonderful person in the world to me. I heard thru the grapevine him and her are together, happy, and she finalized or is finalizing the divorce. I have been and continue pray for them, me and anyone else finding themselves in such a pickle.
And just like he has forgiven me, I too have forgiven him. I also owe him my life, for his actions has taught me things you'll never find in a book...
Hmm...things you'll never find in a book. Sounds like a good book title, huh?
Stay tuned...

--THE END--

My Life, The Saga (part 1)

I may be sticking my foot in my mouth on this one, but luckily I bathe my feet in mild sauce twice a day just in case something like this comes up. As all you may have noticed, I'm pretty private about my personal life when blogging, writing notes, my daily motivational texts, or just venting. I may refer to something in the 3rd or anonymous person, or just go right into advice. Either way I'm sure you all have figured out the things I write about are results of my experiences.
So I decided for this one, I'm going str8 in. There are people out there who know exactly who, when, where and what I'm referring to. What they don't know yet is why...why I'm even goin in.
I'm a person to go hard for mine. If I say I love you, you won't have to worry bout hearing it, cuz I show it. I'm hesitant to start relationships, but when younger wasn't really into random dating. We either just fucking, or serious as hell, no in between.
I've been single for approximately 3 months, nevertheless still involving myself w/my one of my exes (Note @ my friends: I have 6 people total who I consider REAL exes.It may not be who YOU think it is) I was still in love, and still really hadn't left my comfort zone w/him. Now sure, I finally was starting to date around, but it was what it was. For a split second now and then I found myself reconsidering planning a future w/this man.
Now b4 I go in, lemme put on record that my ex-boyfriend is one of the most intelligent, talented, funniest, coolest, sexiest Black men I've ever met. He played a huge role in where I am right now and I would be a troll to not honor him for who he is and what he's done for me.
But that doesn't excuse his behavior.
While dating me he was involved w/another woman. At first I kinda guessed it, then knew it, then found out therefore knew for sure, basically accepted it, moved on, then started sensing it again. I don't take my intuition to court as evidence, but in life, when it's strong, I'm usually right.
Apparently they have been deeply involved for a very long time; before, during, and after our run. Of course I was mad, and even went through the leaving him and coming back runaround. Eventually it got to the point where we were like fuck it. We'll see each other whenever, and have a good, solid 24 hours of great times. Then we may never hear from each other for a few days.I was cool with the system, when I really got over him as a serious boyfriend, it was nice to see him every once in a
while and still have my life. I don't regret my relationship w/him. I still love him. But my dedication to making a future held me down in many ways.
So one weekend we go out to a bar. the bar sucked but the time itself was really nice. Him and I dipped from the bar, hit a bench in the park, and just made each other laugh. It happened to be freezing that night, and near the lake is NO JOKE!! But what I also remember is that was the best time I had in a while. That week sucked! My money wasn't right, I was trying to get a job back, shit was just hitting the fan! So even though the bar sucked, our moment was really all I needed...
...until 2 days later.
I decided to surprise him so i stopped by his crib. He told me he would be outta town for a day or 2 so I figured he'd just gotten back, if he was. Rang the doorbell, no answer. As I walk away, out runs his lady friend.
Oh boy.
She informs me he's upstairs and just doesn't want to come down.
OH BOY.
I tell her I don't know why, I just wanted to smoke and say hey. I was on my way home anyway (at that time we happened to live near each other). She goes in head first about why she dunno why he's hiding, we all know what it is. I told her I had no idea they were STILL messing around, simply cuz him and I were at the point of friends and I wouldn't have cared either way. And I'm the type of
female who can really take that information calmly.
Her whole expression drops. She tried playin it off but after me damn near breaking his doorbell he finally comes down and her attention goes str8 to him. First thing I noticed was how angry she was that he was still chillin w/me. I didn't understand why. You know why I didn't understand why?
1.SHE'S MARRIED. Fuck all that bout to get divorced shit. LEGALLY SPEAKING your spouse can get you for everything you got if there's proof of infidelity at the time of divorce.
2.SHE'S A MOTHER. She already has 2 reasons to not be scandalous, and that's not including the husband. Children are the most absorbent creations since sponges. They learn sooooo much faster from observation than the traditional "Do as I say not as I do" approach.
And w/both of those facts, I feel this way: If you ALREADY doing bad, how you gon get mad at someone else doing the same?
I'll tell you how! When you're in love, none of that matters.
Oh don't get me wrong, family and reputation do take a strong position in what matters. But once you make the decision to do even a little wrong, expect wrong!
Lemme continue, so she's getting mad at him, all the while he's denying even TALKING to me w/in the past 3 months. Oh yea. He went there. Even told me get off his property. So you know I was goin ham. But INSIDE, I had already figured it out.
There I was, standing in the middle of love.
And didn't even know it! Lol I'm thinking his biggest focus was trying to get me back, like he had been saying lol. When all
along they planning divorces and futures together. I aint even know they were still talking!!!
Lol so yea, I was caught off guard, but it taught me a very important lesson very early in life. You can give people 2nd chances, even 3rd and 4th. But if you see the same result pattern of these chances given, well, chances are they not bout to really change for you. I repeat, CHANGE FOR YOU.
He was making changes with and for her, simply cuz he had no choice. She was married, she had something to go back to, something worth saving. He had to really show her he was worth making that move.
But with me, he really didn't have to do much. Oh it seemed like much, but it was really what he had been doing all along. Lying a little, apologizing alot, but making me feel sooooo damn good the whole way.
SO what ultimately happened? Lol that comes in part 2...
But as for him and I, we haven't spoken since. I thought it was time for us to separate permanently anyway. Enough damage had been done plus he had enough on his plate as it is. I was just getting started on my meal, and I wanted a fresh, new entree. Feel me?
I wrote this to send everyone a message. The crazy shit you THINK you goin through happens to everyone. But people, if you gon do dirty, keep it clean. I pray for both him and her, and if they are now together and happy that's the best thing.
But finding your ultimate happiness at the expense of others is WRONG. There was a husband, children, and a young woman (me) who had to be/are going to be victims, if even for a little while, cuz an extra nut needed to get busted...
Like I said before, there is a part two. And because she was a pretty scandalous person, it's a pretty scandalous conclusion.
Hopefully you'll stay tuned to find out.
Peace

Survey says...Disaster!!

Just a random vent before I go to work...
I'm watching Family Feud right now, and the subject was "Things you associate with New Orleans."
Oh boy.
I jumped out the shower just to see just how these people would answer.
The Stella family won that round, hands down. Problem was the reaction to the answers. the first one wrong, then the next 2 correct. The first answer was "The Big Easy."
Then came "Gumbo."
I'm holding my breath so hard I'm bout blue. Well, black blue. Whatever
Then came "The big easy." Of course it was correct.
Then came Mike Stella. He bites his nails, gets a few nods from the fam, and screams out "Hurricane Katrina!"
"....Correct! The Stella family takes the board and when we return..."
Okay I know it's just a game, I know I know. And Hurricane Katrina is now a part of history so it will come up on game show topics. But the actual tragedy has not ended down in NO and people STILL are homeless without assistand. So it's hard watching people cheer cuz all of America agrees that when you think of New Orleans you think of gumbo, Big Easy, and HURRICANE KATRINA.
You remember that game in grammar school, which one doesn't fit? You see an apple, an orange, a banana and a shoe. You already know which one doesn't belong. It sucks that such a tragedy has not been resolved, just left alone so long that now, gumbo is the orange, Big Easy is the apple, and Hurricane Katrina is the banana. Which object doesn't belong? The object of humanity. Justice has STILL not been served to New Orleans. God Bless all those still in need.
Oh, and congrats to the Stella family. I think they made it on to the final round.

Chicago Gettin Green...and I don't mean eco friendly

Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We've made the lists, we've attracted enough celebs, let Batman AND Spiderman fly around this bitch oh yes,this city is the place to be. And apparently Mayor Daley plans to keep it that way, at ALL costs.
In order to have high tourism in a major city, you have to have major transportation channels, including airports. O'Hare airport is the 2nd largest hub of American airlines to date, seeing just under 70 million passengers in 2008. Walk through the terminals and buy a souvenir tshirt for bout $35, get a slice of pizza for $4.50, and wash it down with a $4 smoothie. Yep, looks like O'Hare gettin bread like the toast factory. So why the hell is it necessary to eliminate 2 entire neighborhoods just to expand it?
Bensenville and Elk Grove Village were the 2 communities who got the axe when the $15 billion expansion plan was introduced publicly last year. Newspapers flooded with stories of elderly women and men getting stalked and harassed to sell their homes for the expansions. Families and businesses being forced to close and move. Over $40 million was spent for campaigning and protesting and law suits to keep the communites, but Elk Grove caved first and Bensenville came next. They had no choice anyway, the bigger money won. All so O'Hare can add on some more terminals, or expand some runways. And of course, more trees! I'm sure this will look good in our bid for the next Olympic city. Oh but wait this has NOTHING TO DO WITH GETTING THE OLYPIC BID RIGHT? Just want a bigger airport, that's all.
And give it up to Todd Stroger! Chicago, fuck that, Illinois has the greatest history of corrupt politicians and this nigga just helps stir the pot. The Cook County Board prez gave raises, and I mean RAISES, to all of his forest preserve district employess who "happen to" have contributed to his campaign. These are also the 38 employees who "happen to" be exempt from a city court order banning POLITICAL HIRING IN CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT. Chicago Sun-Times gave a list of the 38 employees and their salaries, and raise %s, from 2006 to 2008.
Lemme just sum it up....the lowest salary was $53,408 in 08 with an 8% raise from 06-08. The highest was $168,511 w/a 13% raise from 06-08. But the list included raises up to 25% for positions such as superintendent, executive secretary, police chief, and information representative. That's right. Shit you could do. It's the FOREST PRESERVE! These the people who control the trees!
So when I hear people say we're in a recession I laugh. I live in a city where money grows on trees. Literally. This is a city that donates to corruption and supports the everlasting concept of money over people. It's a concept that has made this city rich for years.
(By the way Black people, the O'Hare case is PROOF that it's not a racial thing. Money is forcing unfair treatment to all. Bensenville and Elk Grove Village were majority white and European immigrants. Not to mention when the residents who didn't make a settlement were forced to move, they were NOT given assistance like blacks. That's right, when Blacks were forced out of the now demolitionalized housing projects into the suburbs, the government made alot of the housing in those areas subsidized so that families could live for as little as 10% of the rent. See what I mean?)
I think it's terrible the plight my city puts its citizens into. We pay the highest of taxes, withstand the conditions of a corrupt political and judicial system (Fuck the cops), and this city is still seeing the higher of the nation's unemployment rates. So when we welcome tourists to our city, I urge you all to show them where their money is going, where OUR money is going, and at what expense. Cuz it's hurtful, this is the place of my birth and most likely of my death. I love Chicago; any Chicagoan knows the connection to this city is a unique one.
But this paper chase is disconnecting us at a very fast pace, and I fear the day I look up to find Chicago a place I cannot love anymore. Let's force our city to stop focusing on bringing people in before helping the ones already here.
Cuz we ain't leaving.

Who is the Father? I mean Mother? (a comedic short story by DUB)

Not having cable has taught this ladybird ONE THING...
There are some crazy muthafuckin citizens making up this place called America.
Black, white, Polish, Mexican, Caublasian, everyone has lost their gotdamn minds. I'm a huge fan of Maury. It's amazing how after almost a decade I'm still interested in who fathered the children of these RANDOM ass women.
Oh that's right ladies, I'll quote Drake when I say this is not to get confused, this one is for you.

A 26 year old GIRL comes on stage screamin and shoutin, I'll just come in on where she's discussing Raekwon apparently not being shit.
"Raekwon aint shit. Oh that's right...aint shit! This nigga aint shit Maury, he don't buy diapers, he don't buy formula, he don't never come see lil Rae Rae and Destiny, EVER! I been raising them BY MYSELF and I'm tired. My kids are beautiful Maury and this fool don't wanna step up? Aw hell naw he gon take this paternity test cuz I'm 259,876?? % sure he's the father and it's time for you to STEP UP!!"
Maury:"Alright Montecarlisha I hear you. But what would make any man deny those beautiful children. Just look at them. I mean, what possibly went wrong? You did say he was there for the birth?"
"Yaaap"
"He signed the birth certificate?"
"MMM Hmmm!"
"He even had the umbilical cord dipped in platinum?"
"Maury the nigga still rockin it as a chain! He got Destiny's baby shoe as the pendant! But that's what I be talking bout! He said when we broke up for 7 years he heard I was fuckin round. I'm like hell naw he just tryna get out of his responsibilities. Destiny bout to be 9 1/2 and Rae Rae just got his first car! Just bring his ass out here!"
(Raekwon appears on screen)
"Now whoa whoa Montecarlisha before we bring Raekwon out, he and his new fiance Tasha had a few things to say..."
"Maury, I got one thing to say...first, Destiny AND Rae Rae aint mine! Yea I was there for the birth, I'm rockin placenta, but it was just for the ass Maury! Errbody know Montecarlisha a hoe!
Tasha: "Montecarlisha, I know you wish Raekwon was the father cuz you want him back, but you know them kids aint his! My man wouldn't waste his time, AND I'm pregnant w/his baby now so you need to leave our family ALONE!!"
Maury: "Well let's bring them both out, here's Raekwon and Tasha!"
We all know this part, and that's where my issue starts.
The audience goes wild, niggas relocating furniture, women running up to the flat screen pointing out similar eyelashes and cheekbones, madness. Raekwon is sticking by his word, all the while the audience is booing whatever him or Tasha got to say. His case is pretty pathetic, but it's what happened according to him.Tasha decides to chime in when finally, Maury grabs the envelope and announces...
"Raekwon, in the case of both Destiny and lil Rae Rae....you are NOT the father!"
Montecarlisha does a 50 yard dash around the studio knockin shit over, fallin out and cryin, SWEARIN couldn't no one else be the father. Of course Raekwon dappin every dude in the audience and doing the Stanky Leg.
Here's my question...

Who boos Montecarlisha? That's right, who gets on and in her ass for this fiasco? I don't care how unfortunate mistakes can make a situation. There's no excuse in the world for letting that many men bust one in you RAW that you gotta go down a list, got niggas studying for paternity tests. The first thing baby deserves is both parents. Ladies, if you're gonna stay open for business like that, keep track of your customers. Cuz this is great entertainment, but it's proof that our youth are doomed.
We're going from not being able to trace our lineage to not being able to trace the people we let tap that? Naw, I can't handle it. SOMEONE needs to boo for all the Montecarlishas out there and I'm so sincere. You can't just jeopardize lives because of your irresponsibility cuz once he's "not the father," you're left with no father for your child and no fucking respect. Not to mention the girl has already put the dude's business out there, once again announcing on public TV how he isn't shit, with his little ass dick. JEEZ!

Gone are the days when a man lives in the household with his woman so long he just becomes Daddy. Money is the biggest factor in our society and these parents are getting younger and younger, becoming less and less able to support these random ass kids. Times are too crucial for mothers to play around with the other half of their offspring. ALL CHILDREN NEED THEIR FATHERS. It's not fair. SO I have a suggestion-
Ladies, you decide to screw around with multiple men unprotected? Have the nigga text you his full name, #, and the date it is. That's it. You can even ask him to leave a voicemail, "This is John Doe, (773)123-4567 and we fucked around 2am, April 15."
That's it! You can go even further and record your messages onto a spreadsheet. Keep it updated weekly, therefore when you find your triflin ass on Maury you really can be sure it's one of only 3 guys, instead of 14!
Now forgive me, cuz like I said, mistakes happen. In many, many cases women are not hoes, aint really fucking that many dudes, it just so happened this one time the two parties aren't sure of the true paternity. But I'm not referring to them oh no.
I'm talking bout Montecarlisha n em. It goes deeper than a man needing to step up. Society needs to judge from the middle, and not always take the woman's side when coming to family responsibilities. I know it's a societal stereotype that women are the ones ready to take care of the kids and the men are always apprehensive. But ladies, when you lose track of the one your child should be calling Father, you have already lost responsibility.
So after Montecarlisha tests all the men she can come up with, let's start using a hypothetical paternity test for women in these situations.
After what I've seen, we need to start figuring out if some of these women are the real mothers before we start searching for the real fathers.
Peace

These Niggas Are Goin HAM!!! (unforgivable)

Swine Flu or Guillain-Barr...your choice!!

Before I begin this post I must note that I have NO IDEA how to pronounce Guillain. Please find out, get back to me. Thanks
Well well well! They always find a way to bring it back to the birds! This morning CLTV reported that the swine flu vaccine may have serious side effects (duh), including Guillain-Barr Syndrome. Guillain-Barr...sounds like a 1970's variety show or something. Sounds goofy but oh don't sleep. This mofo paralyzes the breathing muscles, of course leading to eventual suffocation. Paralyzes the breathing MUSCLES? I mean damn, skip the lungs we gon fuck up ALL the muscles joe. The Health Protection Agency warned neurologists to basically watch out for anyone who was administered the vaccine. Dailymail.co.uk reported over 40 million Americans have been vaccinated since the first reported oubreak of swine flu at an army base in 1976.
That's right. This shit ain't new and it isn't proven it was started by Mexicans or Albainos or whoever the hell they blaming this one on. What my point is people we must stop letting the media scare us into KILLING OURSELVES.
Just like the flu, you have to basically inject the virus to protect yourself from it, supposedly. However, everyone's immune system differs, and the effects are already becoming more fatal than the virus itself. I'm not discouraging anyone from gettng vaccinated; be healthy and do what's right for your body.
Just think first. Don't go grabbing every pill, syrup, and shot they throw out there. Before the swine flu came along you should be cautious of people coughing around you ANYWAY. You should wash your hands often anyway and go to the doctor regularly anyway. Ain't nuttin new under the sun, and in my opinion swine flu, m1c1 or whateva, bird flu, is all the same. It's a sickness.
If old women can live to see 95 years old and still actively work in a small village stricken with AIDS, no running water, and a government who totally neglects them, we can all man up a little. I've been overseas. I've witnessed everlasting health and mental stability using what we would call little or nothing.I think we as spoiled Americans need to find a way to stop crying everytime someone sneezes or pukes. Swine flu, we rebuke you!! lol I be tweakin.
HEALTHY SPIRIT=HEALTHY BODY AND MIND
But it is hard to have one in a society that keeps reminding you bout dying from swine flu. Lol the irony!

Treadmill Smeadmill!

Why can't Capri Sun put more juice in those pouches? I mean, they know that juice is on point. EVERY FUCKIN FLAVOR THEY CARRY. So what gives? I get the 9 or 10 or whatever pack and it's gone by the next morning. WRONG!
Next issue, Black people, we have to do better with what we put in our mouths. Perverts keep your pants on, last warning.
I confess, I gave up the veggie thing a LOOOOOOONG time ago. I still love a spinach salad while collard greens and string beans still make my top 5 fav foods. However I will murder a gyro and that's where my rant begins.
I decided to treat myself to a gyro plate when I returned from work. While waiting, then waiting some more cuz fam FORGOT MY MILD SAUCE,I couldn't help but take note of the orders taken after me. Most of the customers were obviously regulars, and that's the bad part. Orders ranged from a Super Jim Shoe (a footlong sandwich including but not limited to gyro meat,corned beef,italian beef,and steak, correct me if I'm wrong) to an
Italian beef dipped, then dipped again in cheese and mild sauce. For real. Oh, lemme not forget the 12 yr old kid who stuck 3 cheese sticks in a double cheeseburger and put it to sleep!
Ain't nothing like piggin out. For some it's comfort, for some it's munchies, and for anyone it's damn good. But it's hard to watch Black people go beyond the fried chicken image and just dive head first into diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, and the list goes on. I'm not one to preach, I exercise when I want, I don't diet cuz I don't wanna, and I sleep. ALOT. But even the most slothful must have a limit, thin or big. Ask any person of any race anywhere around the world one way Blacks are killing themselves and they will have an answer. Let's not add health to that list people.
Eating healthier IS more expensive, takes more effort, and sometimes just isn't available. FIND OTHER WAYS.
-Drink WATER (you'll be surprised how many Black people don't)
-WALK somewhere
-Run somewhere (from the cops and/or crazy ex is still considered running)
-Take vitamins (most aren't expensive; all you rollers should feel right @ home)
-Play w/kids (okay perverts get out, OUT!) They'll run yo ass around plenty.
-STOP going out to restaurants and eating the same shit you make @ home! Try some different shit! Even KFC grillin now!

Alright you get the point. Imma wash my gyro down w/a carrot juice. Yea carrot juice. I like that shit.

Here's to your health worms...

Old Ladies Gettin Off!

Perverts, pull your pants back up. Anywhoo, looks like this week is for old ladies getting away with crimes. Let's start with Oprah Winfrey. Last week NBC News reported Winfrey was being sued by poet Damon Lloyd Goffe for $1.2 trillion, claiming his poetry was plagiarized for Winfrey's online story series, "Pieces of My Soul." Lmao now Oprah's rich, we know this shit. To be approximate she's worth 2.7 billion, meaning if he won, Oprah would be broke...and in debt!
But luckily the judge dismissed it, matter of fact he threw it out before Oprah could even start worrying about it. Now that's power. Or should I say....Now that's Oprah.
Oh, and don't forget lil ol Miss Ella Orko. This old bat has been arrested for shoplifting over 60 times since 1956. Last week she was arrested for taking about $250 worth of merchandise, including anti-wrinkle cream, from a North Side Chicago Dominick's. Lmao but don't underestimate this gangsta. She shows up in court yesterday with a neck brace and hearing aid in a wheelchair claiming alzheimers and all that other stuff old people deal with. The judge wasn't even going for the act, but nevertheless kept the charge at misdemeanor so she'll do a couple days tops.
So all the elderly ladies out there living by the G-Code, come to Chicago and get it. REAL thugs get social security benefits!!

This dude seems to have it ALL together...

Weed in a Can?

Now that I have your attention...It seems manufacturers must have a hard time coming up with new, fresh products that are appealing to certain ages, races, and genders. So when I heard of Drank, I just had to assume there was a nigga needing convincing when coming up with this one.

That's right, Drank--a grape flavored drink containing LEGAL ingredients known for their relaxing agents (like rose hips and melatonin) just hit the markets and is already being called "weed in a can" by drinkers. Now uh, being an, um, herbal enthusiast, I felt obligated to do research. Cuz let's be real, if this shit really is like drinking marijuana then Newports and St. Ives might have some competition in the hood.

Speaking of hood, lemme get back to my initial point...Now let's just say this stuff is as effective, or as fucking wonderful, as weed itself. Did they HAVE to name the stuff "Drank"? And not saying niggas got a universal flavor, but DID IT HAVE TO BE GRAPE FLAVORED?

I can't wait to try the crap; well I'll have to. It's only available in Arizona right now. But as we await the arrival of "Drank" to hit corner stores everywhere, let's try to remember how we got to this point. That's right, this point. The point of advertisers needing to come down to the level of Drank in a purple pimp can tasting like grape pop claiming to be as effective as weed.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF BEING RACIALLY AND POLITICALLY CORRECT,

I won't assume the makers of Drank targeted African Americans as their selling demographic, but from a stereotypical point of view they're doing a good job. I know white people who smoke weed, who like grape pop, and even a couple who too refer to their beverage as "drank. Sterotypes are being expanded, erased and re-introduced from culture to culture everyday...But let's be real.

This one's for niggas. So Drank up!

By the way, Drank's slogan is "Slow your roll!" But hey, everyone says that, all the time.

NIGGAS!! (u offended?)

As we pass the halfway point of 2009, the level of civil rights is increasing while the true nature of "freedom of speech" is sacrificed. When I say freedom of speech, I mean really being able to say what you want to say. Granted, if everyone was able to do so, you ALREADY KNOW it's not too long until, oh how can I say this, some shit breaks loose. Therefore our freedom of speech is expressed through religion, politics, THE MEDIA (internet included), fashion, sexuality, music,education,etc. Each of these and more are protected, constitutionally, against MOST infractions of the law. In alot of cases, racial slurs are still accepted WORLDWIDE as long as it's in "good taste," or "just a joke," or "something everybody says anyway." Right?

WELL WHAT ABOUT NIGGA?

Yea I said it. I use the word, frequently. And to be honest I've stopped caring about people who are offended or who think I'm pushing our people back 100 years. You know the last conversation I had like that was with a girl with a weave? Who pushing who back Yacki light brown 16" ?I don't hate on weaves I just felt ol girl had nerve.

When the word nigga leaves my mouth I feel alot better than I do when I have to hold it in. YES, hold it in meaning I want to say it all the time. Nigga was, is, and always will be a term of endearment FOR THOSE WHO CAN RELATE. Nigga embodies all of the stereotypes of the African American race, nevertheless these stereotypes are simple results of our struggle. Watch Sanford and Son, bet Red Fox will break down nigga for ya. Sure, NIGGER was a gift of racism (thanks alot fuckers!) but NIGGA is a representation of everything else we did with our "gifts;" made it better. It hurts, and yes it's reminder of what my race has been through.

BUT WHAT ISN'T?

What doesn't remind you that no matter what status you are, there are some obstacles ALL Black people endure. THAT commonality is what nigga is to me.When I'm with my niggas (female or male), I can relax because I know that I'm surrounded like niggas just like me. Now they can relate cuz they too are experiencing...nigga shit. Now just like anyone you can't trust all niggas and then there are niggas who just gotta be niggas all the time! But they niggas nevertheless and it's hard to see even the worst nigga go down. You know why?

Cuz niggas is a beautiful thang (Bamboozled line)

I don't feel any less successful, nor any less socially repressed, and most importantly any less Black. I can put on a 3 piece suit or jeans and a tee and still have the same outlook on life. I still see Black people suffering whether they believe in/use the word at all. Hell, pretty sure they didn't check for who died a nigga when digging people up for profit at Burr Oak Cemetery (check the news).If we want to blame the racial setback or constant "failure of our race" on something, don't pick a word. Yes that word has history but so does the word cotton but I don't see anyone getting mad over a T-shirt!

Not to mention, if you've been 100% politically, ethically, and religiously correct this week, fine. But I know you haven't, because you're an American, and you've got freedom of speech.

NIGGAS!!
