What's wrong people ask. Are you okay is the next question. At this point my very blunt, unedited and graphic response is just this:
Because I have shit to say...
What's wrong people ask. Are you okay is the next question. At this point my very blunt, unedited and graphic response is just this:
It seems that I've surrounded myself with the people who TRULY love me in my life. It never fails that when I 'm having one of those days that I can go to a certain person's FB page and the status will be something that I can relate to in that moment. So when I felt the need to speak to somebody I logged in and saw the following:
"Anybody who is doing their thing and working hard at achieving his/her dreams, doesn't have the leisure to hate or kick dirt on anyone else. So for those out there discrediting another persons character...yours is ALSO in jeopardy...remember that" and also the posting of "The one CONSTANT thing in life is CHANGE and how you REACT to change determines whether you GROW or "STAGNATE". Some People are doing the Same thing(s) they Did years ago."STILL" complaining and "STILL" in the same situation with the "Woe is Me Mentality". If you don't believe me Look at all their Status updates...."
Although you were not there for me to call today I did reach someone that I hold in high regards that was able to talk me thru where I needed to be in my mind. Having me refocus on my life and to have a better understanding of others. People like these two men and my husband's encouragement daily is what drives me to be a better me and to be a better person to others. Never looking down on anyone only to hold out my hand and lift you up to a greater level. Sometimes such actions are harder than others considering the circumstances but you have to be the bigger person and just say "I LOVE YOU" and leave it at that. There may never be words that need to proceed afterwards just merely walking away and letting them know that they can count on you when you need them.
Who would have thought that you can take so much intellect away from something so "comic-al"... Now I understand it clearly and its crisp like the ripples in Lake Michigan "Did it ever occur to you that maybe...just maybe...if you’re nice to people, they might LET you rule the world?" I challenge you to figure out where that came from. And then read it...contemplate it...read it....comprehend it....read it....believe it....read it.... be it!

To all my Veterans... I give thanks for the sacrifices that you made with your life and your families so I may live peacefully at home with mine. I Also want to thank the families of our military as well. On this day remember to not just recognize the fallen soldiers but the ones that you see here at home as well. Although they are home, their fellow "brother" or "sister" my still be active, and for that soldier it still feels as if they are imbeaded in war or detail. It was your willingness to give freely and unselfishly of yourselves, and even your lives, in defense of our principle. It has given our great country the security we enjoy today. So in closing I say THANK YOU and your services are APPRECIATED.
Have a Great day, and not just for this day but for the rest of your lives.

I love how a one point conversation turns into bullshit and the comment "I'm gonna do what I want to do in my house" appears to be the only response that you can give. I have NEVER underestimated the fact my kids have the best care when they are at their Aunt T's and Grandmothers house. In fact she has been the best FATHER to my kids thus far. All I said is that Your kids would like to spend time with just you and I gotta hear a "family speech." Give me a fuckin break! I know all to well about FAMILY because I've been doing the entire family thing for several years now. Tell me how many music recitals, basketball games, gymnastics meets, student council meetings, parent teacher meetings that you have attended? Then tell me how many times you have helped with homework assignments, after school projects and do you even fucking know where she goes to school?! When my baby is sick and she comes over who nurses her back to health, not you.. her Aunt does! When my kids are there period who tends to them and their needs...Their Aunt and she doesn't have to but she understands the situation! And I do understand that she has taken them on vacations that she didn't have to and I APPRECIATE her for it and YOU were not there so don't talk to me about it! So I don't even know why the fuck that was brought up in the first place. I know who's taking care of my kids when they are away from me and it puts my heart at ease. I know that this summer and every summer previously has gone good without a hitch because of T. I love and appreciate them for all that they have done for my kids! Now let's get to the real fucking fact! Do not bullshit with my kids and give them excuses they don't deserve that. They deserve the opportunity to spent time with just you like they spend time with just me. We have days just us girls and we have a great time! All i'm saying is that you have a nephew that sees you EVERYDAY!!! So, why is there an excuse to them when they ask to go somewhere with just you? This is like fucking Déjà vu. Just like back then I'm going to do what's best for my girls and what makes them happen (within reason). Time does not cost money! Wake the fuck up fathers! What is it gonna take for you to get it thru your heads that not just anyone wants to be with you and round you....not just anyone...your children. At what point do you realize that as today is not promised to anyone you would deny your child the most precious thing that you can offer...TIME! Get this, you don't have to "save" up for it at all. All you have to do is agree to it. But the fucked up part is that instead of agreeing with it you made an excuse. EXCUSE- A reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense. Yep, that's sounds about right! What happened to ac·count·abil·i·ty ( I enunciated so you and others could understand), ACCOUNTABILITY! Hey, that's a word to keep in your mental dictionary at all times. Accountability- an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility. Just like the last time. I think that this is again Déjà vu. My obligation as a parent is to protect. Protect them from hurt and harm. I am hands on with them at all times. Someone fucking with my kids will get an ass-kicking on a level of 1-5 and I have never given anything under a 5 to ANYONE when it comes to them! I'm relaying messages that they feel uncomfortable relaying themselves and now I understand why....because when the conversation is over they are not allowed to use the word BULLSHIT!
As I grew up I never understood the meaning of a "Baby Momma" until now. I have watched women keep children from their fathers all because they said that they were done with your crazy ass not their kids. Women why do you do this? What exactly are you gaining from this?
While doing some research on the meaning of a "baby momma" the definitions are clearly different to different people. Wikipedia defines a "baby momma" as a mother that is not married to the child's father WHILE the Urban Dictionary defines them as the following (prepare yourself please):
-Some chick you knocked up on accident during a fling who you can't stand but you have to tolerate cuz you have a baby with her now.
-Someone who takes the money that she is supposed to use to take care of the kid and spends it on rental cars in the summer, buys hair, gets nails done and pretends to be a baller with her child support to impress all her friends who all thinks she a loser for losing such a good man.
Now I guess the drama parts just comes natural with these baby mommas. Maybe its a prerequisite to the course of baby momma 101 to have a semester of "drama" 102. Why do ya'll feel the need to blow up his phone every 2 minutes? You leave dumb ass messages on his phone saying shit like "I don't need you and you can keep your money?" Well bitch if that's the case why are you at the welfare office trying to get him on child support. Hmmm.... I just don't understand women these days. I have this saying "I was running my household before you and when you're gone, honey clockwork is still the way its gonna run." Ain't nothing like being trapped in a relationship that you know that when that is tired of your ass he gonna POOF be gonna and you gonna be stuck. Why are you stuck....cuz you didn't set your purpose before that man walked thru that door. Ladies please get your game together! Do you first, then your kids. Quit trying to "punish" a man that no longer wants to be with you. And if I recall it right I believe that you was on the phone dogging him out to everybody saying that you wish he'd leave. Now that he gone....tears.....why??? Oh, I'll tell you why! Because now you have to GROW THE FUCK UP and be an adult. Wow, how bout that. Be grown...hmm...what does that mean? It means that you will need to get it together and worry about you and how you gonna eat, sleep, and live without a man that you depended on because you was lazy and selfish.
I'm so glad that I'm not a baby momma myself but I have encountered a rather different one these past few months. As my girl Evita would say "a ratchet ass baby momma" is what this chick is. Honey if you don't need him...quit calling! God works in such mysterious ways that everything that this RABM tried to do she got back 10 fold. Everyone saw thru the lies and she cannot understand why she is the only one in her circle. Wait! To make a circle you need more than one person...two would give you a line...three would give you a triangle...four a square.......well damn, ya'll know where I'm going with this. But at what point do you hang up the drama and move forward. Ooh, ooh, ooh... I know why! Because without someone in your life you are nothing and that's a bad place to be.
Life is not a game....well, maybe it is!
So as my year of blogging has apparently come and gone so quickly (3/25/2011), I've noticed that this blog was in "draft" mode for over 3 months lol! Goodness, I need to be better! Again, as my readers/followers are better than I am and not to name my biggest Fan...Brian- he whom pisses excellence reminded me then and I just got to busy to publish it until today. So that means that that I have been officially blogging for over a year! To be exact for 475 days, 12 hours, 18 minutes and 22 seconds or 1 year, 3 months, 12 hours, 18 minutes and 22 seconds (and ticking)!
When enough is enough and the silence is finally silent...what will we do then? When feelings get replaced with all the facts of emotions will we still be around? Screams of hurt in not just the physical form capturing moments of life that shouldn't even be mentioned but yet it is...daily. In such a manner that it is not enough, silent, or felt in any way depicting any emotion. Injuries or as some would say "battle scars" will prevail to let you realize that they were hidden for only a short period of time. Each holding a name or title at which you actually strategically placed upon it to remember why that scar was there.
With every snag of my wedding rings it becomes more real. I dated this man for the last time on May 29th and was determined to have him "date" me to the fullest that day. As we awoke (yeah right, me...sleep..nah!) on the morning of May 30th it seemed like just another day. We ran to Meijer to grab a couple of things and headed back to the house. Normal conversation, normal attitudes, and just a normal day. No time for thoughts to really cross my mind other than "drama-free".
I've been distant from writing lately as there have been some things that have been going on in my life that I really need to displace. I do reflect what I feel into my writing and frankly the things that I have been dealing with is unimaginable to the "normal" person. I guess that the lesson that I need to learn is that again I need to lower my expectations of people so the disappointment in them doing wrong is not such a heavy blow. When do people just "get it" and something in them says "what am I doing with my life, and how does it affect others?" People cannot just NOT care can they? Sitting here as tire as I am I still find time to try to evaluate their mental capacity and it's breaking down my own. On a brighter note, besides all the drama floating around, I found myself. I found myself in the form of a man that looks at me and there are no words to describe the feelings that are felt. An unspoken word that is so clear. It's like drinking a ice cold Sierra Mist! Getting that sudden refreshment feeling that is fast, intense and surprising. I'm happy to surround myself with my circle that has showed me unconditional love throughout everything when I thought that I just needed to run and hide. And please understand that by me saying "run and hide" it means so that I don't choke the shit outta you for being ignorant. I'm done with drama. I'm ready to he happy, been ready to be happy....So leave me alone and let me soak all this in!
From the dark corner I see your face
I CAN SEE RIGHT PAST YOUR COMPLICATED MASKS
GIVE A REFINED ANSWER TO ANY QUESTION YOU ASK
RAISE 1 OR 10 CHILDREN THROUGH STRUGGLE AND STRIFE
RUN A MAJOR CORPORATION AND BE A ACCOMODATING WIFE
CONVERSE WITH THE ‘BIG-WIGS’ OR SPEAK FLO IN THE HOOD
SAY “ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC!” OR “WASSUP, IT’S ALL GOOD!”
PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE, WITHOUT SAYIN’ TOO MUCH
I’M AN INTELLECTUAL WOMAN,
I POSSESS THE STRENGTH OF THE STRONGEST FOUNDATION
MY VOICE SPEAKS VOLUME HEARD THROUGHOUT THE NATION
MY HANDS GRASP RESERVATION AND TURNS IT INTO HOPE
AND THESE HANDS HAVE CUT SOCIETY’S “LIMITATION ROPE”
THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE STRENGTH THAT I CAN AND WILL POSSESS
THE DETERMINATION I HAVE/ HAD, MY COURAGE OR MY PROWESS
THE FORCE OF MY INFLUENCE CAN BE FELT WITH ONE TOUCH
I’M A STRONG WOMAN,
........SO ADDRESS ME AS SUCH
MY HEART CONTAINS LOVE IN IT’S PUREST FORM
UNCONDITIONAL, ABSOLUTE, AND EVERYDAY REBORN
MY LOVE CAN SURPASS THE MOST GRUELING OF TESTS
IT SUPPLIES ASSURANCE TO MANY WHERE THERE IS UNREST
MY LOVE BONDS, AND SHAPES, AND MOLDS, AND HOLDS
IT BEGINS FROM BIRTH, TO 10 TO 30 TO “INFINITY-YEARS-OLD”
YOU CAN EVEN FEEL THAT WITHOUT PHYSICAL TOUCH
I’M A LOVING WOMAN,
THE PASSION THAT IS SWELLING, BREWING INSIDE
RISES TO MY SURFACE, IT NEVER HIDES
WHETHER IT’S DISPLAYED WHEN I TAKE A STAND
OR WHEN IT’S SEDUCTIVELY REVEALED FOR MY MAN
IT’S INTENSITY IS UNRESTRAINED, AND UNINHIBITED
AND JUST LIKE MY STRENGTH, IT IS UNLIMITED
IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING, FOR SOME, IT’S A BIT MUCH
I’M A PASSIONATE WOMAN,
INTELLECTUAL, STRONG, LOVING, AND PASSIONATE
SOPHISTICATED, POWERFUL, AFFECTIONATE, IMMACULATE
I’M NOT YOUR BOO, YOUR GIRL, YOUR MISTRESS OR A HOE
I’M THE CENTER OF LIFE, MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW
I’M YOUR SISTER, YOUR AUNTIE, YOUR NIECE, YOUR MOTHER
AND I STAND BESIDE YOU, NOT BEHIND I AM NOT YOUR COVER
I COME IN DIFFERENT SHAPES, SHADES, AND SIZES
AND NO ONE CAN DENY ME WHEN THIS WOMAN RISES
MY STYLE IS CAPTIVATING, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I’M A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
NOW I WANT TO MAKE THIS ALL VERY CLEAR THAT THE ABOVE IS ME… TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I KNOW WHO I AM AND WHO I STRIVE TO BE. PEOPLE ENTER YOUR LIFE AND SOMETIMES MAKE YOU TAKE A STEP BACK TO “SELF EVALUATE” WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND I DID JUST THAT. AND AFTER THIS SELF-EVALUATION I FOUND THAT THIS IS JUST WHO I AM. YES, I CAN BE OUTSPOKEN BUT I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT TO NEVER HOLD THINGS BACK AND FOR YEARS THIS IS WHAT I DID. I WILL NO LONGER DO THIS ANYMORE. I GIVE RESPECT WHEN RESPECT IS DUE AND EXPECT IT IN RETURN. JUST THAT STRAIGHT FORWARD. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE THESE DAYS? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GAIN FROM THE DISRESPECT? THE RIGHT TO JUST SAY THAT I _________ DISRESPECTED A GOOD PERSON… WHAT’S YOUR ADDRESS? YOUR CONSOLATION PRIZE IS IN PROCESS AT THIS VERY MOMENT!
