…or later today, rather…is the start of a new week. Make a list, mark things off as you complete them. Rejoice in the small accomplishments, be positive, move away the negative. Believe in yourself, have faith in your abilities. “Can’t” isn’t possible. You can most certainly do it!

Goodnight, world!

One of my followers on Twitter told me that, tonight, she went out with her homegirl and her homegirl’s man and he basically tried to get at her on some slick shit. Her question was, does she tell or does she keep it to herself?

Having been on both sides, I will say that as the chick who is dating the guy…if he comes at any of my friends, I want to know. That shows me that he’s not trustworthy and really doesn’t value my feelings. That is important to me…and unless that “friend” has given me a reason to think otherwise in the past, I would believe what she says (assuming that she has been loyal before) and say something to dude about it.

On the flipside, I have been the friend that had a homegirl who was dating a guy (or girl)…and the guy (or girl lol) would try to holla at me on some slick shit. Now, I am many things…but one thing I am NOT is a chick that’d fuck my homegirls man (or woman LOL). Case in point…I use to be friends with a guy who screwed a girl who was my best friend. Now, the girl and I are still friends and up until recently, I was still friends with the guy that she had sex with (they were never a couple). During my time as a friend with the dude, he made several advances towards me. SEVERAL. But in addition to him (physically) not being my type, I would always say “Remember…you slept with ____ so that makes you off limits to me.” He would tell me he understood (but rarely stuck by his ‘understanding’) and that was that.

But back to what I said before…I have been friends with girls who happened to be dating someone and their someone would always try to holla at me. Even though SHE would not believe it at the time, I am not the chick to run behind my friends’ men (or women) be it past or present relationships. That’s just not my thing and never will be. But because she is (or was…who knows what the deal is now) the type to believe her partner OVER her friends, there was never a point in breaking the news that her mate tried to holla b/c she’d never believe me anyway.

I guess it depends for me…if I know that she is mature enough to understand that #1. I wouldn’t do her that way and #2. I’m only telling her to look out in the first place, then yes…I’d snitch. I’d want someone to snitch on MY dude (or girl haha) if the shoe was on the other foot. But there’s always that one girl who believes her man no matter what…and if you were to tell them that he said something “off” to you, she wouldn’t believe you anyway. And she’d work overtime and a half trying to tell you, him and the rest of the world that “you want everything she has.” Like I said, that’s just not my steez. I don’t even like my friends knowing anybody I’m fucking anyway b/c I dont want them to know what my peen-piece is like. So in having that mentality, why in the fuck would I wanna lay up behind YOU? THAT seems narcissistic to me. It’s just not the business to hear your girl talk about some dick on demand and then you run behind her to get a taste. Shit doesn’t even sound right….

So there.

…and one of the inmates made a very valid point (that I probably didn’t care to think of otherwise).

He says that the lifers and lifers without possibility of parole always make it harder for folks who only have a few years to do b/c they just don’t care. They spend much of their time miserable and acting out b/c they feel that they don’t have anything to lose…they’ll look at those walls for the rest of their lives, so nothing matters to them anymore.

This show is crazy. It seems that at some point during the weekend, they always show a mini marathon of Lock Up and it’s crazy. I couldn’t imagine spending my life in prison.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a former boo piece. One of his friends had (according to him) been wrongly imprisoned and at some point during his stay, he was jumped and raped by some of the inmates. When he (the guy who was locked up) told my guy about it, I remember him going on and on about ‘cruel and unusual’ punishment and feeling that if a person has been sentenced, they should still be protected under the law and not subjected to beatings, fights, rape, etc. while in prison. Hmm…

*back to the TV.

Are people not aware of the mechanics of a blog? Are people really that naive to how a blog works that they think that if a comment is posted, I won’t see it?

No wait…what’s going on in the school systems these days? Is reading comprehension not valued? Or has it been tossed aside with the pledge of allegiance and ’swishing?’

Because I am a writer, I pride myself in being articulate when I do take to any blog for a verbal explanation of my feelings. But absolutely nothing grates my nerves more than a person who reads something that I’ve written and either A. derives a totally different meaning from what’s given or B. just doesn’t get it at all. Whose fault is that?

I’m a very upfront person. I also consider myself to be an extremely articulate woman with a passion for a lot of things, including acknowledging when I am wrong. I chose to maintain this blog as a means to vent my frustrations about the every day goings on of my world. I choose my words carefully but still refuse to censor myself b/c hey…it’s my shit. But I still manage to get annoyed at people who failed reading comprehension 101 and somehow find their way to MY shit to remind me that the school system has indeed failed them. Again, whose fault is that?

For future reference, it is best to ask questions of the things that you don’t understand…or have a glass of ’shut the fuck up’ before you sit on your hands, vowing NOT to speak if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I don’t give a damn about offending people b/c my entries aren’t comprehended. The beauty of the www is that anybody can have a blog…and as long as I pay for this one, those who don’t like OR understand what’s said here can kiss it…long and hard…and don’t let those lips up until you promise to let words soak in the domage before prematurely speaking. People kill me thinking they run some shit over here. Chile, please….

Dumb bitches really do dumb things. So glad I’m not in that circle…

I HAD to post this video! Somebody please…tell me that this is a LOOP and that he REALLY doesn’t talk like this? Oh lawd, I thought all athletes at least took first level speech in college. Jesus be the vessel….

Shouts out to Foxy!

Yes, these guys have done this before. It might not’ve been on the level of an Apple store but these guys aren’t new to thievery at ALL! First off, they managed to steal all those MAC books, iPhones and iPod touches in 31 seconds? WHILE the security guard was there? Oh yes…in the words of the glorious Beyonce SOMEBODY GETTING FIRED! They are gonna do that security guard like they did Frankie in Set It Off. Ain’t no way they won’t believe he was in on that shit! WOW! I wonder where they selling the merchandise at.

…well I think that my spirit is his personal Farnsworth Bentley b/c I NEVER get any sleep.

It’s now 7:14am…I woke up on Tuesday at around 11:30. I am CLOSE to being UP for 24 hours. I am so sick of benadryl, ambien, warm milk and reading a book, only to just lay there.

The shit fucking sucks.

In the A, I had a reason to stay up all crazy hours of the night b/c I was usually hanging out with friends or in the streets somewhere. NC? I don’t have homies here (translate: I’m tired of folks not wanting to do shit so I’m done asking) so I LITERALLY sit at home all the time. There’s only ONE chick that I really roll hard with and that’s ONLY when she can get a sitter. Everybody else? Lame…but all that is to the left of the point. The point is…

I NEED SOME FUCKING SLEEP!!!!

*cries

…indeed one of “those” days.

…and even if she ain’t a part of it, I’d probably tip her anyway. Amazing.

You guys know I absolutely LOVE sharing the emails I receive, right? Now, it doesn’t happen TOO often but when they do, it cracks me up b/c it reminds me that people are SO one dimensional that it’s pathetic! Have a look….

How come u quit porn? U were very good I liked u. U had a nice body u can fuck and u suck dick very well. What happened?

Isn’t that cute? Thanks for the compliment (I guess) but no dice, buddy. I will tell you what happened, though…it’s called common sense. I lost mine for a little while but when I snapped back to, that part of me had to go. You’re lucky I’m on a 24 hour suspension from cursing b/c you KNOW you’d get a major one. Maybe I will wait to rip you a new one at 6:01pm? POW!!!

PS: A quick email “search” brought up THIS blank Myspace profile (a chick named Brandie) but a NAME search brought up THIS blank Myspace profile. Both in Florida. This is either an odd coincidence or I just might have a gender bending hater on my hands! HELP!
