And to some, that doesn’t seem like much. But to me, it means a lot…especially considering that at one point, I didn’t even know if I would live to see 30.

Good job, Jazmine…

…my dumb ass decides to ride through Georgia Toll.

So yea, I’m driving…using the navigation system (I call her Shaquayshia) and she directs me to 400 (for those of who you aren’t familiar, that’s our “toll road” that we’ve been paying for years and still haven’t “fixed” whatever financial situation it was suppose to be fixing…but I digress).

So I go to the window, start fumbling around in my purse. I found a dime. I hand her my [bank...not credit] card and said “Can you just take it off this?” This chick didn’t say shit…she proceeded to go to the back of my car, take pics of my tag (and I swear she snapped a pic of me too), handed me the above receipt and opened the damn bar gate thingy.

I JUST looked down at the receipt like “Damn, they added a dollar on there too!” And at the VERY bottom it says “Must be paid in 5 Days!” #girlWHAT (c. @brookandthecity).

Went to the website to go ahead and take care of it (b/c GOD KNOWS that Georgia officials will come looking for your ass over $1.50). And guess what? These mufuckas take paypal. That lets ME know that they ‘get’ folks all the time.

Straight bullshitery if you ask me…as I sit less $1.50.

The end.

OH and PS: I covered up what I thought might be vital information. Im definitely NOT trying to show you my fucked up nails. I had to go somewhere other than my normal tech b/c I knew she’d be booked today and I needed something “plain.” UGH and that’s JUST what the hell I got *hides hands*

-Just because a person is congratulatory doesn’t mean they really are

-Sometimes, it’s best to quietly let go

-Belief in yourself is of the utmost importance

-Small circles aren’t bad

-There’s nothing wrong with giving folks the benefit of the doubt until they prove themselves non-beneficial

-Crab in a barrel mentality doesn’t change with age

-Some people are afraid of success

-Some people give props to your success but sneak diss on the low (see bullet #1)

-Keep on trucking

Thanks BLK!

Alright, here’s the abbreviated (lol) version of my whole I get results rant.

I have been searching for the LONGEST for a new place. I am currently renting a house but wanted to move to a one level condo or apartment. After going to view a few condos and even soliciting the use of a relocation service company, I finally found one that I loved.

So I posted a blog about color issues within the Black community and it received a lot of comments. I feel that issues dealing with complexion has been a long standing topic amongst Blacks and it’s sad to see that there are still some people in the family who simply don’t see Black as being beautiful.

The whole issue is a thorn in my side (and completely intolerable for me) b/c I, too, use to have issues with color.

Okay so I’m on Tumblr now. I will continue using this blog for long entries and what not.

…do you also get the urge to fuck?

Curious as to why this was in the gas station bathroom.

FYI: I was washing my hands; I didn’t tinkle. Gas station bathrooms scare me when I’m sober.

…in front of your parents. The shock value is just too…shocking.

lol.
