I hope this message reaches all of my followers. I have not stopped blogging, I've just graduated to a more mature take on things. I matured and abandoned YSUGARCOAT. For a long time I didn't know why I couldn't bring myself to write on this blog anymore. Then I realized, this blog just wasn't me anymore. I am not ashamed of YSUGARCOAT, because it does have great content. It just happens to be a body of work that began in 2009 and is representative of a woman with the same primary interest of most 20-somethings: drinking and partying, a few social issues, and cussing more than using my vocabulary. Don't get me wrong. I still will cuss someone the fuck out like it's a second language, my mouth still needs a bit of soap. I still drink, but just like my age, my palate has evolved. Cheap club drinks in plastic cups with questionable limes have been replaced with smoked bourbon and Italian reds. Party nights have turned to dinner parties and event passes. Curse words turned to...meh...they're still in full effect, I just sprinkle them in with a vocabulary of words from my extensive years of schooling. Blog topics on thots have turned into journalistic pieces on what the underlying causes of this thot phenomenon in society and all my thoughts on the topic. What I'm trying to say is, this new blog is representative of my evolution. So I'm bringing it here to you guys today. #Tservestea</div>

National public television programing is in the shitter. Even the reality shows are putting their predecessors to shame. While you may be able to find me live tweeting about "Love and Hip-Hop" or any of the "Real Housewives" series, I am also at times disinhertened by the fact that in the back of my mind I am fully aware these are staged/scripted shows and there isn't much "reality" in them.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order to get a perspective into the back drop of a world that is not commonly known about I turn to documentaries. I'm too cheap for netflix, so I ran across the following documentary on YouTube called <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">P.O.P (Power of Pussy)</span> which delves into the world of the world renown Magic City strippers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In today's society, more people need to practice being inquisitive and curious than judgmental. Strippers get a bad rap and are often subjected to horrendous judgment so the opportunity to learn their perspective and see things through their eyes had me hooked. Check it below:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">"Power of Pussy" is a multi part documentary series about some of the most celebrated and vindicated individuals in our culture; strippers. These women are sometimes classified as lowlifes of society, many thought to be streetwalking drug fiends with no regard for others. Some are thought to be impressionable young women, taken advantage of by men overseeing a seedy underworld. These are assumptions often made without any context from the women who live this life. This short documentary is a small look at a world many have only heard about, shedding light on how things really work for many women who have put on a g-string at some point in their lives.</span></div>

<br />
I will start by briefly apologizing to all of my followers/ haters/ subscribers/ ad revenue affiliates, and fans for neglecting this blog for the past 2 months. I have had a lot on my plate personally and professionally, but I can assure you this will never happen again. <b><span style="color: purple;">Y SUGARCOAT? </span></b>is back in full effect and as always we are saying whatever because we don't give 1 f*ck, 2 f*cks, <span style="color: red;">red f*cks</span>, or <span style="color: blue;">blue f*cks</span>. That's just how we roll. SO...I wanted to return strong with a deep self analysis post which I feel can apply to anyone who constantly gets asked the question,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"Why are you single?"</span></b></div>
<br />
...I guarantee it's a complicated response. There are many reasons why someone may be single, but I will explain what my past reasons were as I just feel there must be several women or men who can relate to this as reasoning on some level.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">1. My History:</span></b><br />
<br />
I must firstly state that I do not view being single as leoparsy. However, chronic singleness is often viewed as a "condition" by society if you indulge in this lifestyle for what is considered to be "too long." I have a history in my youth (teens to early 20's) of immaturely priding myself in having the ability to pull and date men who had connections I needed to do what I wanted/needed. I was a power junkie, so men with power and connections is all I wanted or cared to know. Don't get me wrong, I never based my self worth off the men I dated, but to be able to handpick, for my personal benefit, an elite group of men such as the previously described, gave me a great sense of female empowerment (not every b*tch can do that either). However in my adult age, the age in which it's time to pick a partner and a throw away your dance card, this came back to haunt me. You see, when I found myself getting in the mindset of "you and only you" and things began to go through a rough patch (as all relationships experience this), I began to want to revert back to my old ways. I began to think "you can't do this for me? I know someone who can though." Which led to my proverbial black book always being open and it could be open indefinitely for the following reason...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>2. None of My Exes Leave:</b></span><br />
<br />
It may sound cocky and arrogant, but any man I dated for a decent amount of time, still wanted to be in my life in some capacity. Strangely enough, I have the ability to befriend just about all of my exes. Granted some do not deserve to ever see my face again or breathe oxygen in the same room as me, but in some capacity they were still around. It was possible that an ex or a man I dated for a few months 5 years ago still wanted to be in my life. Sure, some got girlfriends, moved on, we did the "no contact" dance, but they always came back. I think I kept them around in safe arms length distance because each one probably knew and appreciated one of the various sides that make me up...<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">3. Various Sides of Me:</span></b><br />
<br />
See it depends on where a man meets me as to what he expects me to be like. Problem is, I am in whatever environment he met me in 20% of the time because various facets of me make up the bigger picture and none are similar:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">A. The Domestic Me: </span></b>maybe he meet me as the domestic T$, the one who cooks scallops on a bed of creamy bacon corn sauce, pairs wine perfectly with meals, bakes cakes from scratch, decorates her home for the holidays, loves to entertain guest, keeps her home cleaned to a T, and can sew a button back on...and he may love this, but he may not appeal to or be able to handle the other side....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">B. The Intellectual Me: </span></b> or maybe he meet me in this state. I can talk to you about politics, Black history, socio-economic ramifications of society, the discography of A Tribe Called Quest, and any type of biological or chemical science you name it. I can write my ass off, I know extensive history about ancient Egypt and lifestyles of people in the 1500's-1700's..and he may love this, but he may not appeal to or be able to handle the other side....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">C. The Ratchet Me: </span></b> or he could've meet me like this. I know every lyric to Gucci Mane's latest mix tape and will proudly rap along. I drink vodka straight on the rocks or slightly dirty vodka martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives, and cinnamon whisky shots quite often, I have a bad temper and will fight a b*tch on cue if need be or if you remotely talk to my sister or best friend disrespectfully, I frequent World Star Hip Hop, cuss like a sailor, know all the places to be, I can act young and wild when I hit the bar, I have a mohawk with red streaks in it, love combat boots and ripped fishnets, and I know what happened on the latest episode of Basketball Wives...and he may love this, but he may not appeal to or be able to handle the other side....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">D. The Debutante Me: </span></b> or he may know me to be the debutante. I can put on a BCBG dress, pearls, and gloves and give a speech. I go to high tea with my mom and sister, I know how to use every fork in a fancy place setting, ride horses, play the violin and viola, know "Roberts Rules of Order," and know the difference between opera gloves and After 5 black tie dinner gloves. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">E. The Adventurous Me: </span></b> yet still he may know me as the adventurous me. I want to have spontaneous sex, go to the drive in movies and make out with him like we are 16, go on a 10 mile bike ride, leave town on a drop of a hat, I love to flirt, dress up and hit a costume party, wear black lingerie and buy stuff at inserection, try some stuff I can't pronounce at a restaurant, crash a party and act like I own the place, become a vegetarian for a week, take a stiletto workout or pole dancing class, whatever...<br />
<br />
But with all these sides, it is hard to find a man who stimulates and appreciates them all. Therefore I would do the following...<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">4. Created the Perfect Man out of "Men"</span></b><br />
<br />
I would surround myself with different men who appealed to all the above 5 facet of T$. I would just keep all of them, except one, at an arms length and they would stay around in the false sense of hope, that they were making a breakthrough with me and getting closer. So I had most of the things women in relationships have, I just shared them between a few people.<br />
<br />
I say all this to say that for some people, the reasons they are single are not those that can be answered in a sentence. There is no perfect time to be in a relationship either and there is no time limit on how long you can be single as those factors are contingent upon so many things. At the end of the day, it is important for any party, single or taken, to understand fully why they made the decision to pursue whatever dating status they deem fit. Being single can be healthy as it gives you time to analyze yourself and your past relationships just as being in a relationship that is healthy can be rewarding because it allows you to share and create a lifestyle with someone who is worthy and offers stability.

You're Shady...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.skokienet.org/files/imagecache/Small/suspicious_person.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.skokienet.org/files/imagecache/Small/suspicious_person.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Google +, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr...the options are endless. Whether you choose to immerse yourself in every internet based social outlet or regulate yourself to just a few, social networks are a part of our culture. They are the reason smart phones like iPhones and Droids are so popular. Everyone wants to be in the loop with the most up to date information. No one wants to be the one asking if someone heard about a topic that was "so 7 seconds ago." So for this reason...you must question any individual who is TOTALLY against being on a social network. <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>"9 times out of 10, any individual who is under the age of 40 and is not on at least ONE social website has something to hide, is living a fake life, or is living a double life."</b></span></blockquote>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Oh I know. Someone is going to argue me down about this. Funny thing is, I'm a great debater, and this just is not up for discussion. I have taken the liberty of coming up with all the reasons you would give me as to why someone would not have an account on any social networking website...then I will explain how this reasoning makes absolutely no sense and that person you are excusing is shady as the fuck.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"So And So Is Not On Any Social Websites Because...."</span></b></div>
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">1. Their Job:</span></b><br />
<br />
We all know that some companies are intense when it comes to cyber stalking their employees or potential job candidates...but boo freaking hoo. You can't be judged on something that is not there though so why doesn't your smart ass use a thing called content control? It's as simple as tweaking privacy settings, untagging yourself in any photo where a drink is in your hand, and never posting a status that is not PG-13. Hell, go by a variation of your birth name name (ex: Real Name= Amber D. Smith Facebook Account= Amber Dawn). Bad excuse...NEXT!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">2. You Can't Control Content Your "Friends/Followers" Post:</span></b><br />
<br />
Once again, it's called "settings"...I have friends who have their profiles set up so no one can write on their wall, they can approve any post or picture they are tagged in before it goes live. Bad excuse...NEXT!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">3. Social Websites Sell Your Information to the Government:</span></b><br />
<br />
...and so does just about anything you do in life that has a paper trail and that doesn't bother you. Secondly, unless you are on witness protection, a drug lord, or embezzling billions of dollars, why the hell would your regular citizen ass care about that?! You act as if they government wanted information about your regular extra ordinary life they wouldn't be able to get it or something all because you don't have a Facebook account. Bad excuse...NEXT!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">4. It's Not My "Thing" I Don't Want Everyone In My Business:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">NO ONE CAN BE "IN" BUSINESS THAT IS NOT POSTED! </span></b> My social network accounts are a reflection of about 10% of my life and who I am. I do that on purpose. You can too! Secondly, if you aren't a celebrity or politician, what makes you think anyone really gives a damn about your extra ordinary life? Any stalkers you may have can be blocked.<br />
<br />
In a society ran on technology, why would someone not have ONE account just to keep up with friends and family or purely for entertainment? And don't tell me this person has a Droid or iPhone (phones made for social purposes and so people can be up on the latest everything) with not ONE social networking account. The REAL reasons someone has NO social networking accounts would be the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">They're married...and screwing everything under the sun except their husband/wife. Or they are involved seriously with someone and they cheat regularly.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">They are my grandmother</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Their whole life, as they have relayed to you, is a made up facade.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">They are involved in some type of shady elicit activity</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
Henc why this mysterious person is shady...as the fuck.</div>

<a href="http://www.youdontdeserve.com/images/facebook-icon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.youdontdeserve.com/images/facebook-icon.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
My homie, who shall remain nameless, asked me to discuss the following topic on this blog. Why do people request from others what they <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">CAN NOT</span> do for themselves in relationships/dating? I developed this question further to ask, why do you feel <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">YOU</span> deserve the type of person you are asking for? Let me illustrate the scenario for you through words:<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scenario 1: </span></b>My friend met a girl, they had conversation, she was cute, they exchanged numbers. Later, he found out she is living on some one's couch in between jobs. When it came time for going on their first date, he asked her "where would you like to go?"....her response? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">RUTH FREAKING CHRIS</span>. Now my friend, knowing she was wilding, asked her "what do you usually eat there? I like the stuffed chicken," to which she responded "actually I've never been there before." <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">HOLD UP BITCH</span></b></div>
<br />
So you mean to tell me you are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">LIVING ON SOME ONE'S COUCH JOBLESS</span>, but you expect a man to take you to a restaurant that is $50 per person on your first date?!?! Wow...and that my friends is how this post was inspired.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"You can not demand things in dating situations that you yourself can not obtain."</span></b></blockquote>
<br />
Now just because she is going through a hard time does not mean she can not date or she deserves to be mistreated, but suggesting a place that expensive on a first date is completely out of pocket. If someone wants to take you to Ruth Chris, or buy you things you yourself can not afford, then more power to them and lucky you!<br />
<br />
I am bombarded by stories of my friends of persons requesting/wanting things in a dating situation that they themselves can not obtain. Now let me move on to another example:<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scenario 2: </span></b> My friend is a chubby, moderately attractive male. He is in his mid-twenties and although he lives in a city that does not operate on advanced public transportation systems, my friend does not own a car. However, he feels he should be pulling the baddest females, body and face a perfect 10, with careers, cars, jobs, good credit, and real hair. But why would he deserve a woman of this caliber? What exactly would a woman like this want from a chubby man with no transportation who is probably a 6.5 on his best day in the looks department? That's right, she wouldn't want much to do with him.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scenario 3: </span></b> My friend, who had not been dating a girl for very long, maybe 3 months tops, casually asked her, what did she want for her upcoming birthday. Her reply, "a Chanel bag." Considering that she currently carried a no name brand purse and had only been dating my friend for 3 months, asking for a $1,500 hand bag for her birthday seemed a little off. Why on earth would a half smart indivdual shell out that much cash on your birthday when they barely know you? I do know a few types of people who would do that though...a trick, a nasty rich old man trying to pork something young, or a pimp would. Says a lot about them men she's used to dating.<br />

I don't normally entertain the hate mail I get (which believe it or not can be a lot when you run a blog shock topic blog with completely uninhibited content *sarcasm*) but today let's go ahead and address the mail.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">"T$ or whatever your real name is. I would like to ask what exactly is your blog selling? Ideas or sex? I would say the later. The picture up top is soft porn at best, and it seems a lot of your biggest topics concern sex. I read your bio on Your Black World and I am confused how you consider yourself a writer who is uplifting the Black community when you run a blog that is the epitome of what we are trying to escape. That's real talk straight up no chaser."</span></i></blockquote>

Look, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but at the same time I hope your opinions are formed off research. The picture up top is not soft porn...I'm sorry but you should probably google search "soft porn" to determine what that is because clearly, that is not what is going on in the main picture of this site. Secondly, have you gone through the blog's archive? I'm willing to assume you have not or you could CLEARLY see that not only do I write about sex and dating, I write about Troy Davis, the judicial system, social media, current events, and topics that directly/indirectly effect members of not only the Black community but society period. Two of my most popular post that have over 56,000 hits each are topics regarding health/safety and fashion. Soooo...I guess that means I'm not selling sex. I honestly don't recall selling sexual pictures or videos or having a pay per view type link on my blog which would be selling sex. I also don't recall bombarding this blog with pictures of myself in scantily clad attire as the only pictures of me on this blog come in the form of video discussions and the picture up top.<br />
<br />
This blog is the reason Your Black World hired me to be quite honest so I can only assume they felt this blog mirrored some form of decorum and relevance to Black culture. Furthermore, there is a time and place for everything which is why I write for a variety of different platforms. Just because I write content for a Black conscious/social news website does not mean I must typecast myself as a writer, if I couldn't write a variety of different things then I would not be a good writer. I am glad you took the time to do your "research" by reading an article of mine on Your Black World, coming to my personal blog, finding my email, and writing such a heartfelt message and ending it by using the tag line of my blog. You stay classy.T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-70808695524745385552012-07-29T18:08:00.002-04:002012-07-29T18:27:40.465-04:00You Can't Find Love In the Club?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is no secret, men and women have different view points on many subjects. However, every once and awhile it's amazing me some of the stark differences in view point that each party can have on a subject. It's conversations like these that I value and part of the reason I suggest that everyone get some true friends of the opposite sex (not one's trying to bang you) and just sit down and talk to them about all kinds of topics. Cue the conversation I had with one of my best friends, Harry (a full blooded American straight male) last week. Harry revealed to me the meaning of the old adage <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"you can't find love in the club,"</span></b> by telling me that men put women in categories with how and where they meet them (i.e. wifey material is not meet out at a club, lounge, or bar but by chance or through friends, work, school, etc.) He even stated that he just can not take a girl serious he has meet in certain scenarios even after getting to know her better. Furthermore, Harry went on to say that <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">90% of the men out at a club/lounge/bar are NOT relationship material...they are there to find someone to fuck.</span></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The conversation I had with Harry perplexed me greatly as I strongly believe that where you meet someone has little or nothing to do with the type of person they are or their intentions. After all, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">"...</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">the same people who go to the club are the same people singing in the choir at church, going to the grocery store, and doing regular day to day things that EVERYONE does. Additionally if the person you met is deemed to be a certain type of way because of where you met them...what the hell does that say about you?"</span></b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would say the following factors have more to do with what type of person someone you met is than where you met them:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Conduct: </span></b> So what does where you meet someone have to do with the type of person they are? I would say their conduct at where you meet them is the true tell-tell about their personality and character. For example, you meet a girl at a lounge, bar, club, or event and she is not dressed like a hooker, she is casually sipping drinks with her friends...chances are she's a normal girl going out to have a good time. Then you have the girl who is a sloppy mess, dancing with her panties exposed, and letting men dry fuck her brains out on the dance floor...chances are she's a hoe. Even still, there is the girl who you see out at the EVERY club EVERY night the club is hot. It's as if her whole wardrobe consist of club dresses...chances are she's a desperate hoe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Conversation:</span></b> In places where music is played, it may be hard to have a serious conversation. However, the gravity and depth of what is said in those short exchanges can say a lot about someone. Is the person you are talking to not very cerebral or just plain stupid?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>Time:</b></span> In due time, everything about a person will be revealed. People can only keep up an act for so long. So the man you meet at church, in due time you can figure out he's just a sleazy as the guy you meet at the bar last week. The girl you meet at the club drinking, in due time you can figure out she is intelligent and funny as well as sexy or you could find out she is a boring bitch with a bad body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you judge people based off where you meet them? Why or why not? If you judge someone based off where you meet them, once you get to know them outside of the setting you meet them in, can you form a different opinion on them? Let me know and don't sugar coat it!</div>

As a woman, I do not understand why your vagina would ever smell like a seafood boil. We have a doctor dedicated to our vagina, estheticians and nurse practitioners who specialize on removing hair from it, not to mention a whole aisle of products dedicated to it's upkeep. However, there are still a few of you who just don't get it. It's not normal to be able to "smell" yourself.<br />
<br />
Recently at my office, the bathroom and WHOLE floor by the bathroom has become a HSMAT area after an unknown woman uses the bathroom. This bewilders and dumbfounds me for the following reasons:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">1.</span></b> How is that possible you are not aware you vagina is that odorous? <br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">2. </span></b> How is that possible you don't know there is an issue because if your vagina smells like that I know it's on FIRE straight wacka flocka flames status. <br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">3.</span></b> How are you married/in a relationship? During intercourse we can only expect it would get even more stank as you get more aroused...ugh<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">4. </span></b> Do you honestly think other women can smell themselves when they drop their pants or wipe themselves after peeing?<br />
<br />
This is a PSA for women, and men alike...because if a woman smells that horrible downstairs, it's definitely NOT from a period or skipped shower and it's definitely NOT normal (you should definitely not be so thirsty to still have sex with her). It's something REAL going on in her panties and it's probably one of the following:<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Bacterial Vaginosis (BV):</span></b><br />
<br />
This is caused by an over abundance of natural bacterial in your vagina. It can occur for the same reasons yeast infections occur, because you have been having anal-vaginal cross contamination, because you have been having raw sex with a man who is having raw sex with another woman, or because the man you are having raw sex with has a pH that doesn't mesh well with the pH of your vagina. Typically symptoms involve a fishy smell, smell like a garbage disposal, or like a ham sandwich. Usually the discharge is over abundant or super thick. It can be itchy or it can burn. Over the counter meds are not available and a douche will not help (please never use a douche anyway for any reason). I don't believe in homeopathic remedies for vaginas...just go to the doctor ASAP.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>Gonorrhea:</b></span><br />
<br />
If you let that go untreated...we can smell you coming. Antibiotics are necessary for you and any sexual partner you may have...once again...a doctor is needed.<br />
<br />
...still think healthcare shouldn't be free and available to everyone???? Then have fun running into women with stuff like this going on in their drawls.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's summertime. Men rejoice as women shed conservative clothing for short skirts, shorts, halter tops, bikinis, and other staple summer gear. However...some of you bitches have a little too much meaty flesh to be wearing so little. While walking around the French Quarter, drink in my hand, not a care in the world, I made an observation which lead to a T$ statistic:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">"During Essence Music Festival, 80% of the women in New Orleans had the average dress size of 18"</span></b></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not to say that big can't be beautiful...but if you wear anything over a size 12...you're a big gurl. The issue I have is NOT at all with the size of the women, but more the size of their clothing which leads me to believe that these larger women have listened to various rap songs laced with lyrics about a "thick ass," and then applied that to not only their ass but their stomach, arms, neck, back, etc. The real issue is there are a lot of women who think they are thick that are actually fat. Sorry bitch. I mean there are packs of whales walking the streets (or should I say beached on the streets in packs) wearing little to nothing all because they think they are thick.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Therefore I have come up with classification system of categories for different sizes. I have also made picture examples. <br />
<br />
<a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
If you think you're thick and you don't look like the following ladies...then you are not thick...there's a 99.9% chance you are fat:<br />

<br />
Notice the thick legs and asses and breast but flat stomachs???? Yeah...that's thick<br />
<br />
Here is my classification system for weight/size:<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>Category 3: Chunky Monkey </b></span><br />
ex: Trina (she has rolls on her freakin neck!), Buffy the Body (I’m sorry, but that is too much ass…),<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Category 4: Fat </span></b><br />
ex: Kim from "The Parkers", Kelly Price (after weight loss), Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>Category 5: Obese </b></span><br />
ex: Monique, Kelly Price (before weight loss)<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Category 6: Morbidly Obese </span></b>(believe it or not this is medical terminology morbidly obese means that your body fat is over 40%)<br />
ex: Aretha Franklin, Eddie Murphy's character in Norbit<br />

Today as I browsed the internet, I came across several articles and various comments of inflamed nature discussing how homosexual men, known as MIAKA's (there is a unofficial chapter at Texas A&M), are gearing up to file a law suit against Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. in search of retribution for not being allowed as members into their SORORITY. I'm not even greek but here's my issue I have with this:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b> 1. </b></span> Love the gay community and have many gay friends but just because your gay doesn't mean you get special rights (cue the article about men wearing dresses to class at Morehouse....bitch there is a dress code in life, I can't wear a bikini to class because I want sun, I have to dress a certain way at work or a white table cloth restaurant or to fly first class...get over it. Gay means equal rights NOT special rights.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b> 2. </b></span> Greek organizations have a selection process, just like any broad can't be in any sorority because the members get to PICK and CHOOSE who they want in their sorority, they can do the same for you as well.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b> 3. </b></span> I honestly think it would be better if they focused on starting groups that dealt with homophobic discrimination, preventing bullying and stereotypes, and equality than running around trying to shake their hair, wear pink and green, making ivys, calling themselves pretty girls, and be involved in a SISTERHOOD as men!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b> 4. </b></span> Just stick with and evolve your MIAKA chapter. Perhaps it could become something bigger than an imitation of another organization and serve in some capacity as a social outlet for gay youth in college.T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-56289534291987091042012-06-02T12:35:00.001-04:002012-06-08T20:21:45.734-04:00Bobby Quest The Beginning MixtapeCheck out a dear friend of mine's mixtape.

I am all about the gaining popularity of web series. Writers and directors are taking control of how the media portrays African-Americans in mainstream media by creating their own platform and specialized audience. Here is my latest obsession, a series entitled "Black and Single" written and directed by the talented Jay Ali who I got a chance to speak with regarding the background and creation of the show. <br />
<br />
Ali expressed how the idea to create the show came about due to his feeling that African-Americans are not portrayed to look or act like real everyday Black people on network television. Poor writing, production, and the rise of reality television are a few of the things Ali attributes to this inaccurate portrayal (he even thinks Black porn is suffering from the aforementioned as well!) and are causing scripted television shows to become the last of a dying breed. It is through generosity, dedication of FREE time, and the belief that his team has in the success of "Black and Single" that this show is currently being made possible.<br />
<br />
The web series takes place amidst the back drop of the dating scene in Atlanta, Georgia where two young black and single characters, Oni and Jessie, struggle to find love. They continuously and inadvertently cross pathways and it appears they could be perfect for each other, only problem is, will they ever officially meet? Check out the first episode below:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PHq6N0vln64" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
What makes this web series even more intriguing is that it feels "real." The genuine feel can be attributed to the fact that the experiences, as well as the trials and tribulations that the characters go through, are derived from Ali's own personal dating stories or those of friends. In the opening scene and closing scene of the date, the viewer is audiotorily engaged by a jazz band. This audio-visual concept was inspired by Ali's memories of "The Cosby Show" which featured various jazz acts.<br />
<br />
Ali hopes the series takes off and goes network, as long as he is still creatively pulling the reigns. You can expect 10 great episodes this season to drop bi-weekly for your viewing pleasure.<br />
<br />

It's always nice to give your brain a "hoodrat break", turn off Basketball Wives and watch something with a bit more substance.

A few weeks ago, I did a post on Nicole Ari Parker's Gym Wrap, the hair wrap created for Black women who work out. Since then, I have gotten a lot of email request, text messages, and tweets about me trying it and if it worked. I made a video so you all could see the before and after to decide if you want to purchase it. Besides, I think it's better to see a review/video from a consumer versus what is on her website as you know only favorable results would be posted. So here is my video post from an everyday Joesphine like myself:<br />

<br />
I think it works pretty great. I give it an 8.5 out of 10. I personally feel the whole triangle scarf-like style would be better for women with short cuts like myself so I may purchase that one next.<br />
<br />
My Comments:<br />
<br />
1. I think the wrap should be the same width all the way down to the ends so you have a various ways you can wrap it and so it gets the "kitchen" or nape of your neck.<br />
<br />
2. After the video, I put the wrap back on and took a shower. It seems that the extra time it was on it drew the moisture away from my sides which I said felt "slightly damp" in the video.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Would you buy it?T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-49918991647508209372012-05-07T22:02:00.001-04:002012-05-07T22:05:27.790-04:00Ask Yourself Why DID You Get Mauled by a Cheetah?!I need this woman to reflect on how she's living life. <br />

Violet D' Mello got mauled on her 60th birthday during a trip to a South African zoo. Apparently the zoo staff has a petting area and Violet thought it would be a great idea to get in the cage with and pet two grown male cheetahs. While petting the cheetahs, one attacked an 8 year old girl so Violet felt that she was Super Woman and jumped in to save the child but ended up getting chewed up like a 100 calorie pack snack by the cheetahs for more than 3 minutes. While she was getting chewed up, her husband continued snapping pictures of her attack which are now viral. Best part? They now want to sue the zoo!<br />

It baffles me how people assume that WILD animals that weigh hundreds sometimes even thousands of pounds should be predictable and behave like Medulla...my 7 pound lap dog. I can't even predict all the things she will do sometimes...because she's a FREAKING animal, let alone should you think you can predict and extremely strong and large carnivorous predator type animal. What do you think the cheetah went, "we move on up like the Jefferson's and now that we are out of the hood (the wild) we should act with better manners." GTFOH!<br />
<br />
She's not the first! There's the lady who thought it was cute to keep a grown Chimp...it thanked you by chewing her face off like a piece of Orbitz gum and ripping her hands from her wrist. Or what about the Sea World trainer that got drug to the bottom of the tank and bitten in half because her ponytail resembled a seal to the killer whale (keyword KILLER)? <br />
<br />
Ask yourself...how am I living my life? It ain't right. Furthermore, please file your divorce papers as your husband found it more important to become a media sensation by taking of pictures of the cheetahs possibly mangling and dismembering your body than calling for help frantically.<br />

Basketball Wives is one of my guilty pleasures in life. I love to watch a ratchet broad get ratchet from the confines and comfort of my home and text and tweet my friends about it. It's fun to live vicariously through reality stars ignorance. This post is inspired by the ignorance that is Royce Reed and her dating decisions. Not only does she look 18, she acts 18 too.<br />
<br />
While I don't agree with a grown adult man or woman "dating" someone for months on end taking on roles of a boyfriend or girlfriend without some sort of title, or people dating for years having multiple children and never knowing if marriage is a possibility, I am strongly against serial monogamist. Ladies, learn from Royce on Basketball Wives...throwing a title on a guy you date just so you can have sex with him doesn't save you from being a hoe. Let me explain further:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">1. Having Multiple "Boyfriends" a Year Means You Are Not Selective:</span><br />
<br />
I can count on my hand, in all 26 years of my life there are probably only 2 men who have swept me off my feet to such a degree I let them wife me in a very short period of time. The chemistry was so great that within a few short weeks things were made official and we advanced into a monogamous relationship. If you have this type of instantaneous chemistry with ever man you find attractive and allow yourself to get wifed by him then you are not selective. Hoes are not selective either. They do not have a high set of standards or criteria for who they have sex with and neither do you if you have a new boyfriend every month of the year (12 months=12 different men=12 different dicks...you do the math...sounds hoeish to me)<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">2. How Independent Are You?:</span><br />
<br />
A lot of women think the term independent refers solely to their financial security, but it also means being ok with being yourself and taking YOU time. Are you confident to be alone? While a relationship is a beautiful enhancement to life, only commit because the situation is right. It's ok to be single in this world. Women need to stop viewing being single as a form of leprosy. I personally will not take myself off the market and fully commit to a man unless I know I am ready to take the leap into a serious adult relationship. Why? Because any person you date monogamously deserves to have a partner ready to give their all in a relationship so how can you do that with a person you barely know?<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">3. When Do You Reflect?:</span><br />
<br />
Oh that's right....you don't. That's why you jump from man to man with the same results and encounter the same problems in less than a year. If you consistently have a different boyfriend back to back, you are not learning much about yourself, or what you require for a mate. You are never giving yourself time to reflect about past relationships and what you want to happen in the future to yield different results.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">4. You Look Dumb:</span><br />
<br />
You just look dumb crying wedding bells, posting up lovey dovey statuses/tweets and pictures, and flaunting around a new man every 3 months. It shows you have the relationship maturity of a 18 year old girl whose only criteria for her boyfriend is if he has a car, late curfew, looks good, and is popular. Furthermore it shows your a gullible bitch...you probably believe ANYTHING a man tells you as long as it sounds good. It proves you do not make a man prove to you he has good character or that he stands behind the things he says to you.<br />
<br />
It's 2012 and the way we date has changed. It's not the 1950's where you live in the same city you were born, only rich people have cars, and you are lucky if you get to travel to another state let alone get to know people in neighboring towns. In today's society, people have more options available to them. Social media, dating websites, technology, and advancements in the quality of life as well as transportation, increase your options of who you can date which means you need to choose wisely as well as choose how public you are going to make your dating decisions to the world. Don't be a HOEpless romantic.<br />

I know my readers are of various political beliefs and parties, but be clear about who is making decisions in the party that you associate with as many of these politicians are often out of touch with the struggles of the regular American citizen.<br />
<br />
Just last week during a radio interview, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (who happens to the the CHAIR of the Higher Education and Workforce Training Subcommittee in the house) stated that she has <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">"very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduated with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there is no reason for that." </span> She goes on to boast how her education cost her $48,000 and she paid for it out of pocket....in 1968. Listen to this broad below:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Lady! You went to school in 1968! The cost of an education at her alma mater has <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">TRIPLED</span> since 1968 (and that's with in-state tuition) and the cost of minimum wage was also 38% higher in 1968 than it is now?!?! The average American college education cost about $18,000+ a year now.<br />
<br />
So wait, are you telling me that doctors and lawyers and anyone who further their education outside of their bachelor's degree have <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">NO EXCUSE</span> for having that much debt? Wow...I never knew med-school, grad school, law school, or PHD programs were free bitch. Maybe instead of being "losers with no excuse for student loans" we should all prematurely apply for welfare at the age 18. With her condescending ass and jacked up spelling of last name looking like she could have possible thrown an extra "x" on the back of her lastname in her hey day and been a porn star or better yet, spent more time sucking some peen which is why it may have taken her 7 years to graduate.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">HAVE A STADIUM OF SEATS! </span> Maybe she should look at the below stats before she opens her mouth again.<br />

<br />
If you feel you are a "nice guy" and you are never securing the woman you are pursing try this statement on for size. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It has nothing to do with how <span style="color: #674ea7;">NICE </span>you are, but <span style="color: #674ea7;">EVERYTHING</span> to do with your lack of confidence, how you are low-key scared of her, and how unaggressive you are towards the current situation going on between you two.</blockquote>
I mean what human being in their own right conscious mind would want to be treated like shit over being treated well? She actually loves the nice qualities about you. She adores the fact that you’re respectful, thoughtful, intelligent, and have good conversation, but she can’t stand the fact that you are not contributing to the “chemistry” between you all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Because you are lacking confidence, you are low-key scared of her, and you are unaggressive you are failing. Women love to feel purused and wanted. Men are hunters, they are supposed to “hunt for” and actively pursue a woman they are interested in. When I think back on men who didn’t quite make the cut, they didn’t make the cut for the following:</div>

You are so scared of her that you take date after date, week after week, to decide to kiss her and to do so passionately.

Just call her to make sure this plan fits into her schedule. It’s okay to ask for suggestions, but you should already have the plan together in your head for the most part <span style="color: #674ea7;">#FRIENDZONE</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
See the problem is, while you are doing all the above, failing to make her see you as a confident man, you are getting friend zoned. Reasons you are getting friend zoned:</div>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">You are confusing as fuck. Sure you call and text her everyday, but she isn’t sure what you want to happen with your situation with her.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">It’s boring. Once again, all women want to feel pursued and desired. You aren’t doing that so she begins to see you as one of her home girls…with a pair of testicles.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">While you are taking forever to grow hair on your chest, a more confident man has scooped in on the female you are interested in. She is now comparing you two thinking to herself about how nice you are but how much more feminine the new guy makes her feel simply by being more confident.</li>

<div>
As women, we have the luxury of using various different methods for enhancing our appearance and weave is just one of these methods. This isn't my first post about hair weave and I must go on the record and say I have no issues with it under certain circumstances (click here to read <a href="http://http//www.ysugarcoat.com/2011/01/truth-about-hair-weave.html">The Truth About Hair Weave</a>). However, do you know what men's criticisms of hair weave are? I took the liberty of asking 9 different men of various ages their feelings about hair weave. Then I decided to add my two cents in as well. See below:</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<em>"Lace fronts and visible tracks are ratchet. I don't mind [weave] as I like long hair, so as long as her head doesn't look heavy I don't mind."---</em><span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Ricci 28</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<em>"I don't like when it looks unnatural<span style="color: #993399;">"---</span></em><span style="color: #993399;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Harry 29</span></span><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>"Other than the fact that it's not their real shit? Ok<br />1. I don't like it when women get random colors that are obviously unbelievable. If you're going to rock a weave at least give the illusion that it could possibly be yours.<br />2. If your hair is shoulder length on Monday, don't come to work on Wednesday with it down your ass. Why? Refer back to reason #1.<br />3. If I've known you for over a year and have NEVER seen the shit that really grows out of your scalp then that's a problem.<br />4. When I have sex, I don't want to worry about pulling out a track. I have had a LOT more fun with ladies who rock their own shit because there are no limitations.<br />5. I can't speak for all guys but personally, I'm more attracted to women who rock their natural hair (long or short). It shows that she's comfortable the way she is.<br />I'm not saying that weaves are bad, some look really good and I understand that sometimes it's convenient to do a weave. There is nothing wrong with that. But there is a thin line between doing it because it's convenient and doing it because yo ass is just too lazy to keep it up."</em>---<span style="color: #993399;"><span style="font-size: 130%;">Larry 28</span></span><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>"Too much where it looks ridiculous and going from barely making a pony tail to it flowing down your back the next day."</em>---<span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Jamaal 28</span><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>"Sometimes it doesn't look natural. One day you got long hair the next day your bald headed. I don't like that I can't grab your hair during sex. We think you got nice long hair and then you don't (unwanted surprise)."</em>---<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #993399;">Lawrence 24</span></span><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
<em>"Cheap weaves shed and look horrible. Other than that I don't really have complaints I just feel it doesn't look good on every woman...certain women it enhances their beauty and some women's natural hair without weave is just as good."</em>---<span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">David 24</span><em><br /></em><br />
<em>"When they do TOO much with it. When that's all they wear."</em>---<span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Ronnie 28</span></div>
<br />
<br />

<em>"Weave has braiding associated with it. This damages the scalp because a lot of women don't have edges after wearing weave for a long while. I also don't like how women who wear weave don't let men touch their hair or if the budgeting of your weave cuts away from important things like bills."---</em><span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Gary 32</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<em>"It be stanking. I mean some weave smells like must and stank pu$$y."</em>---<span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Herb 28</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
I agree with a lot of what the men said. So here's my two cents. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">1.</span> I don't have a problem with weave as long as it looks real. The objective is for no one to know it's not your hair. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">2.</span> If you wear weave because you have no real hair then it's time to stop being cheap and invest some money into conditioning and regrowing your hair by seeing a certified hair stylist regularly. I was just at a cookout where a bitch had no edges...we are talking no hair past the temples and when the wind blew you could see that junk. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">3.</span> I also have issues with women who feel completely ugly without weave in their hair. If no one has seen your real hair in years including the man you date, that's ridiculous. Let your real hair breathe and grow some self esteem.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">4.</span> To address what Herb said about weave stinking. Not all weave stinks. Weave that does is a result of the following:</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">A.</span> Being cheap, buying yaky weave and thinking it will last a lifetime and mystically grown into their scalp and become your own hair (any grade of weave less than virgin Indian remy or Malyasian hair needs to be taken out in 3 weeks or less).</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399;">B.</span> Women playing kitchen beautician and washing and styling their own weave without sitting under a dryer to let the braids underneath the weave dry completely results in the braids becoming mildewed which causes their head to smell like a sweaty gym sock that has been left in a plastic bag in the sun for a week.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
What do you all think? Where what the men said valid reasons for not liking weave. </div>T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-18473337580911835292012-04-09T18:24:00.007-04:002012-04-10T19:26:28.980-04:00Lessons in Wealth: How Mark Zuckerberg "Made it Rain" On These Hoes<a href="http://images.askmen.com/celebs/men/business/mark-zuckerberg/large_image-1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images.askmen.com/celebs/men/business/mark-zuckerberg/large_image-1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 490px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 376px;" /></a><br />
^^^ this is the picture of the man that should come to mind and people should be trying to imitate when they think about stunting. Not the stupid athletes like T.O. who blew $80 million or the rappers rapping about black cards, or Fabolous who made it rain 28k on strippers at Atlanta's very own Diamonds of Atlanta. <br />

<div>
While I am not wealthy...hell I'm not even rich, I do know one thing, a lot of people don't understand the concept of wealth. They look up to, imitate, and aspire to be "wealthy" like their favorite idiot rapper or athlete. If Mark Zuckerberg woke up with Jay-Z money he would most likely insert a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger. While Jay-Z is undoubtedly a successful business man his bank account looks like a wealthy persons McDonald's happy meal money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today Mark Zuckerberg "made it rain" 1 billion dollars in cash and stocks to acquire Instagram...and he is by all means of the definition, "self-made"...so I'm going to need everyone else to have a stadium of seats right now. Please and thank you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
See the difference? Wealthy people "make it rain" on things that increase their wealth. All financial moves are calculated. You will not see Warren Buffet or Mark Zuckerberg making it rain on strippers, investing in ridiculous jewelry, buying a bunch of cars to stunt, and wifing hoes who will take half because all of those actions are those of poor financial calculation. So instead of bragging about hoes you've bedded, stunting in an attempt to make us believe your self worth by bragging about the money spent, and making asanine purchases you should shut the fuck up and start making power moves.</div>

He makes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399;">$300 A FUCKING SECOND</span>. That's wealth um kay.</div>

I'm not here to knock anyone's hustle or say that people who are rich and self made aren't doing their thing, I just want more people to aspire to be wealthy instead of rich or "hood rich" because that ain't getting anyone anywhere. Start creating empires and leaving behind legacies instead of leaving dollars on the ground at the strip club.

Happy Easter everyone! While some of my readers may not be religious at all, believe in a different God, or may be more religious than spiritual, I must say, the concept of someone dying for people he has never met is the most selfless act. I have gained more appreciation for this act after I did medical research of what happens during crucifixion and how this ultimately causes the person being crucified to die.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">1.</span> The person is generally beaten with a "cat-of-nine-tails," which is a whip that has talons, bone, and lead at each end. This tears off pieces of flesh. They are then forced to carry a large cross they are going to be crucified on up heel. The weight of such an object is estimated to be about 300+ lbs.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">2. </span> Before nailing someone to the cross, often times their shoulders and hips are pulled out of socket to make their limbs fit to wear they will be nailed.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">3.</span> The nail is often times driven through the wrist (although depicted through the hands of Jesus) as this is meater and can withstand the weight of the body better.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">4.</span> While being nailed on a cross often times birds and other animals eat and pick at the flesh of the victim<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">5. </span> While being nailed on a cross it is hard to properly inhale and exhale. Victims usually push themselves upwards to inhale and downward to exhale. To expedite the process of dying, often times the victims legs are broken so they can not move upwards to inhale or exhale air. The result is them drowning on their own blood which begins to fill their lungs.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">6. </span> It was generally done with the victim being naked for ultimate humiliation. In addition any urination or defecation was done in public view and attracted insects.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">7.</span> It could take hours to days for the victim to die.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">8.</span> Causes of death would be a combination of either dehydration, blood loss, asphyxiation, and infection.<br />
<br />
Knowing all of this doesn't this make you even more grateful that Jesus died for you?T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-24417873529910138202012-04-07T13:03:00.002-04:002012-04-10T19:27:03.486-04:00New Gym Hair Wrap for Black Women<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="282" src="http://maxcdn.nexternal.com/saveyourdo/images/saveyourdo_store_fulltriwrap_medium.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Statistics state that at the rate that obesity is effecting the Black community, by 2020 70% of Black women will be obese. The rise of obesity of Black women may be attributed to the fact that many spend hours and a great deal of money weekly to bi-weekly on their hairstyles. In one rigorous gym work out, a hair style could be ruined by sweating and many Black women do not want to ruin a hair style that they spent a great deal of time and money on.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Nicole Ari Parker created the revolutionary idea for a hair gym wrap for Black women after she gained 30 pounds in a year due to her opting to workout to save her hair do. The "Save Your Do" gym wrap uses patented pending technology to save your edges and roots by wicking away moisture produced from sweat during a strenuous workout. <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35430680?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="262" src="http://saveyourdo.com/site/wp-content/themes/saveYourDo/images/sydHomeDiagram.jpg" width="306" /><br />
<br />
The gym wrap was tested after doing 45 minutes of strenuous indoor and outdoor military boot camp work outs. Parker selected the final version after testing 17 different prototypes.<br />
<br />
The Save Your Do gym wrap comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Prices start at $24.95. While that may seem a bit pricey it does seem like a good investment so that Black women can work out without worry and maintain healthy bodies and lifestyles. Currently, a $5.00 discount is being offered for first time buyers. 10% of the proceeds from sales goes towards Sophie's Voice Foundation, a non-profit that helps children and adults with spina bifida.<br />

Casual sex. I'm sure most people have had it at some point in their lives so I'm not judging. However, past a certain age and making it a habit...not a good look. I'm sick of the term. I have no clue who made it up but the people who embrace it seem to use it a lot in correlation with words like liberation, and phrases like <em>"Women can do it too,"</em> <em>"I'm young,"</em> and <em>"It's just sex,"</em> but realistically...it means you don't value yourself and you are not a hot commodity. This holds the same for women and men. Let me break it down for you all here.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #993399; font-size: 180%;">MEN: </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
If you are not turning down pu$$y then you need to step your game up. A man who has his life together has hoards of women throwing themselves at him, hence he can pick and choose who he sleeps with. In the back of his mind he knows of some grade A women he could be having sex with instead of a random dusty broad offering him sex and an STD as casually as someone passing samples out at Sam's Club. He can say <em>"Naw ma I'm good,"</em> to the random broad who used money from her child's pampers budget on club entry and is staring at him longingly. Matter of fact, this guy has so many grade A options he knows he doesn't have to sleep with any and everything. So men, if you are casually smashing anything with two legs that are shaved an an orifice you are not "winning" you are loosing.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 180%;"><span style="color: #993399;">WOMEN:</span> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
There is no such thing as casual sex. When we have sex with a man he physically goes <span style="color: #993399;">INSIDE</span> our bodies near organs that we need to survive and procreate. There ain't nothing casual about that bitch. Casual sex is for people who have clearance rack pu$$y. When you have casual sex with men they equate the worth of you and your pu$$y to something along the likes of the free cufflinks that come with a colgne purchase. Have you ever heard of Versace having a 50% off sale? No...because Versace is a major fashion label. Versace will never go on sale and is never given away for free unless it is to a celebrity who inturn puts in work by uping the label's sales with this amazing free advertisement...in essence, the celebrity works for Versace. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
Casual sex is the reason there is a large influx in vaginal rejuvination procedures, because you broads want to let a random beat it out the frame after the club for a Waffle House waffle (top notch hoes get the most not the lesser...oh you got an orange juice too...you special bitch! smh). Then the same broads like to run and tell everyone how sexually liberated they are and feminism this and that. No bitch, you don't have much self worth. Stop putting your vagina on discount or giving it away for free like pigs in a blanket with a toothpick in them at Kroger.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
At the end of the day, when you lay down with someone you <span style="color: #993399;">ALWAYS</span> run the risk of a few <span style="color: #993399;">NON-CASUAL</span> things resulting which are but are not limited to: </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li><span style="color: #993399;">Baby</span></li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li><span style="color: #993399;">STDs</span></li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li><span style="color: #993399;">Emotions</span></li>
<br />
<br />
<div>
So there you have it kids. If you think it's cute past the experimentation age (teens-very early 20s) to have casual sex then you probably ain't shit.</div>T$http://www.blogger.com/profile/05723760804568410795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882641365591974837.post-34891984691185054712012-04-04T23:56:00.000-04:002012-04-10T19:27:30.986-04:00Do ALL Men Pay for Sex (directly or indirectly)?<a href="http://blogs.marinij.com/katwilder/cash%20in%20hand.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://blogs.marinij.com/katwilder/cash%20in%20hand.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 293px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 288px;" /></a><br />
I have always said that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc;">ALL</span> men pay for sex...whether it's with time or with money because any self respecting woman has those two things as a requirement.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc;">1.</span> </span> She wants to get to know you before she has sex with you----<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc;">time payment</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc; font-size: 130%;">2.</span> In getting to know her you have to court her---<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc;">money payment</span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Now before you go H.A.M at that statement watch the below video.<br />
<br />

<br />
While I agree with a lot of what he is saying, who or why you choose to date someone as a woman isn't solely based off of money...however at the end of the day what self respecting woman who values herself and realizes she has a lot to offer would be down with putting her pu$$y on the "clearance" rack by dating a man who can only take her to Burger King when she can get a man on her level? <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc33cc; font-size: 130%;">NOTICE:</span> I said had something to offer, meaning she has a career, good head on her shoulders, she's educated, she isn't giving up her ass like "mall food court samples" (great analogy Jerry!), etc.<br />
<br />
Now before you go into the "gold digger" accusastions about women please refer to the following post "<a href="http://www.ysugarcoat.com/2010/12/y-sugarcoat-dictionary-define-gold.html">Y SUGARCOAT? Dictionary: Definition of a Gold Digger and Hoe</a>" because most of you don't use the term properly or fully understand it.<br />
