WTF? Is it just me?

Okay, so you know I’m a Y&R watcher, can someone please tell me why Nic Newman is dead? I mean dang; now warning! Y&R and I may be divorced before the week is over cause now I have no reason to watch the wretched story. Jack is a punk ass beyah. Brad is a gaping wide asshole. Amber is an ugly, scheming skank. Daniel and Lily just irk me beyond reason, as do most of the rest of the cast. Victor will always be da man. Nikki disgusts me. Vickie and JT need to hook up. Still like Michael and Lauren, but Kevin and Gloria kill me. Ugh…I’m just too through!

What’s with men wanting to skip actually to getting know a woman and going straight for the drawers? Then they wonder why we think so ill of them.

Check out jus.b.fli for her post on matters pertaining to men.

Who wants to go back to old school ways? Tired of these ignant (yeah, I said ignant) ass kids talking to grown folk any kind of way; men/women acting like each other is worthless; and what the &)W*%)#%& happened to discipline and order?

Where the heck are the God-fearin folk? Seems like no one is scared of God anymore…that’s why folk ain’t livin right and can’t get right.

What’s with sistas telling men they can *uck when they can’t. Stop settling just to say you have a man.

Am I the only one thinking it’s a GOOD thing to preserve the divine love and life cavity instead of giving it up cause “it’s been a while”?

For The Unit watchers…how come they gotta make the brutha the bad guy? Just cause he’s got the most rank and put the most time in, don’t make him America’s Most Wanted.

Someone; anyone please splain to me how ashy heels became acceptable? They make lotion for a damn reason.

What in the name of anything that makes sense is up with Tyra’s hair and makeup? Chick looks like a damn tranny anymore. *smh*

Why do folk come on national tv talking their biz then say, they’d get disowned or treated badly if folk knew certain things about them? Gimme an effin break already if you came on tv do you really care what folk think?

That’s all folks…massa’s callin!

inspiration...

I just got done speaking with my fave aunt and she is truly one of the most beautiful people in the world. Her voice is like music to my ears. She's so kind, so loving, and so positive. She is so warm and genuine that when you speak with her, you feel so uplifted. Aunt C is not one for BS and drama and will not tolerate negativity in speech and energy. Aunt C tells me to resolve conflict if I have any and to always maintain a good disposition in life and to keep God first. If you're ever in a bad or sad mood Aunt C can make the sun shine in your otherwise cloudy day. Aunt C takes an interest in whatever is going on in your life and could take a proud seat next to Inyala Vanzant or Maya Angelou for being a phenomenal woman and a grea life coach. Aunt C inspires me to always do my best and to always be the best woman I can be. She doesn't get upset if she doesn't hear from me in a while or make me feel guilty for not updating her on the haps in my life. Instead she appreciates the time we share when we talk and she takes an active interest in what I've been up to. Aunt C has and will always inspire me to be a better woman and to follow my heart and my dreams. Ironically, I read the following when I was on the phone with her...Tell me God ain't working with and for me...Have a blessed day...

Dare to dream
The main thing that keeps an objective out of reach is your assumption that you cannot reach it. You're able to do precisely what you expect to be able to do.
Are there dreams that you dare not to dream because you've decided that you cannot attain them? If so, then your negative expectation has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Before you abandon or downgrade your most treasured dreams, consider this. When your goal is personally meaningful and compelling, you can achieve it, whatever it may be.

You are never too old or too young, too rich or too poor, to direct the energy of your life toward a compelling objective. Life is about making a difference, and that's something you can do no matter what your circumstances may be.

There is somewhere you truly wish to go, something you sincerely desire to achieve, right this very moment. Take the time to find it, commit yourself to it, and make the effort to make it happen.

Your dreams represent some of the most valuable gifts you have to give to life. Dare to dream, and allow the best of who you are to be fully expressed.
-- Ralph Marston
