Enjoyed my day with my Spelman sisters!
While doing hair we were discussing the o so favorite topics of the young woman's mind ... Love and sex, and the following questions were posed that demanded the most attention were : " Can you fall in love with a bad lover?, Would you marry a man without having sex with him? and can u teach a man.. u know?"
my thoughts: OMG women have taken on these "men" roles where we feel like "I gotta try IT before I buy IT"
MIDNIGHT came crashing through,
I read the book Midnight and it provided for such insight into this whole love and sex thing.
The book illustrates a boy becoming a man of Islamic faith facing the trails of American culture. One of the more "unsusal" things in his culture and religion was the fact that it was customary for the people to marry at ages of sixteen or even younger. The reason for this was as his mother eluded was because it allows for the two to grow together. DEEP!!!
I drew from this that Americans have gotten this whole marriage and love thing all fucked up, we teach our youth to soak their wild oats men and women alike. This in turn provides for the images we perpetuate today! Broken homes, single lonely women and men and an overall ailing perception of marriage and trust. Manifesting the idea that if one has waited to marry until they've completed all that we consider necessary, which usually equals a certain finical standing and career advancement, we have lost one of the beautiful things marriage has to offer : growth!!!
I'm no expert I've never been married, but I Think therefore I am and that alone allots for my thoughts

Cleva, Orange Moon
Last nights activities included: watching Fox News, reading Malcolm X and listening to Erykah Badu, a sickening combination.
Malcolm X
I received the confirmation that Malcolm is valid in every word and assertion that he makes against these introverted oppressors. I am almost worried that I could get worst. I literally am reading a book that manifests the childhood to adulthood stages I've experience.
" I was trying so hard, in every way I could, to be white. which is why I am spending much of my life today telling the American black Man that he's wasting his time straining to 'integrate.'" -- Malcolm X
Fox News
the topics discussed for an hour and half were about, Jeremiahs Wright ( Obama's former preacher), David Letterman, and miss California losing her title!!!!!!!
This is the bullshit our media chooses to enlighten us about and wonders why the rest of the world views us in such poor light.
The topic of discussion with Mr. Wright was regarding a comment he made suggesting that Pres Obama would not be allowed to speak with him because of "dem Jews." If ya ask me I feel Wright was totally correct in his comment, however we must also recognize that ones feelings do not always have to be publicly broad casted. In hopes of preserving the legacy of Pres. Obama we as a community should do everything we can to uplift his presidential career even if we don't agree whole heartily. Think about it Republicans did it for the last eight years. So my position on the matter, in short, is what he said is correct timing not so much!
The more problematic part is how this TV station presented the issue, they put a reporter of poor articulation and dialog on national TV to speak on an issue of the President, and of course he was Black!!!! The reporter then attempted to ask question in a form that demanded only one answer and some one not trained in the art of answering tough questions would easily fall victim and he did! She then suggested that Obama was RADICAL.... because of his former Spiritual adviser's views and associations!!! gee I'm so disgusted with American Media !!!!!
- the other topics discussed were just embarrassing to watch. This "news" program looked like a bad talk show.
Erykah Badu'
"Mama's Gun" has been on repeat for five days straight!!!! She is hands down the best Artist, MC and Lyricists that ever lived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and dats on my MAMA's Gun!!!
PS I wish Erykah and Andre 3000 would get bac together!! ;)

WHAT up DC how YA doin?
New post: In an attempt to gain clarity, I've asked the question that needed to be asked. What did I in turn receive, NOTHING. Nothing short of Bullshit.
*don't ask a question u don't wanna hear the answer to.
I'm currently in Washington DC the nations capital. I stepped off the plane received my bags and caught a cab, ( I've never done that from the airport ) so cool! As we drive to the fabulous Omni which is decked in history, I see so many people jogging, jogging everywhere. I mean these people are into it ! It is a beautiful sight! The food has been amazing, new taste and cultures emerged into every restaurant I've visited.
NSF: sitting in on a "JAM" that is dedicated to diversifying the STEM majors and progression. Such a beautiful sight of diversity. I've spoken with individuals well beyond distinction, have been honored to meet and hear keynote speakers of all walks of life with one common goal. Which is described to me in a short phase: Enrichment,Empowerment and Development of the Minority in the STEM.
the lasting quote that will for ever sit with me by a Dr. Parker of New York City College:
"Continue to move pebbles and leave the mountains to GOD. "
new journey: move pebbles and Let God do the rest !!!!!!
