What Gives?

I do not want to come across as a "Male Basher" but I really need to understand what is going on with the stronger sex. As a good friend once said (Hey Bee!), "What the hell is wrong with these men? Don't they know women do not ELECT to go to Crazyville... men like this DRIVE them there!" Now don't get me wrong... there ARE some crazy chicks out there but I am a strong believer that most have become that way because of some past experience(s) that have tainted their views of men. I am not one of these "There are NO GOOD MEN out there" chicks, and most of the women I associate myself with are not either. I do believe that quality people are hard to come by but the quality of people that you allow into your space is really contingent upon the vibes and energy that you put out there. I can go on for days about this but I won't. I'm going to get back to my original concern which is a need to understand WTF is up with the poor decision making of some of these men in the headlines. These are just a few examples of what I say happens to many of my testosterone-toting counterparts. Hard d%$ks make soft minds...


Exhibit A: Steve McNair... Y'all already know how I feel about that situation but I felt that it deserved honorable mention.

Exhibit B: Arturo Gatti - It is not my intent to disrespect my younger sisters out there but dang y'all are treacherous! His wife is being accused of killing this man by strangling him with a purse strap as he drunkenly slept. From what I've heard she got him into his drunken stupor. She made sure he was in a weakened state before she attacked. I suppose she would have to because killing a boxer can't possibly be an easy feat, even for an "amazon" like me, much less for a 23 year old chick who weighs a buck fifteen soaking wet.

IF (and I only say IF because one is innocent until proven guilty) his wife did kill him, I'm gon' tell you where Arturo went wrong. I understand that his relationship with Amanda Rodrigues was tumultuous from the start. She showed her crazy when she wanted him to cut ties with his daughter from a previous relationship. Why on Earth would a man even consider doing that for a woman? What woman IN HER RIGHT MIND would want to force her man to do such a thing?

Now I am fully aware that Gatti had some domestic abuse charges filed against him so I am in no way leaving him blameless. But honestly people, this makes me go back to something that I learned within recent years: Peace should be the initial organizing principle of your life. Before you act, ask yourself how it will impact your peace.This is something that Gatti clearly did not do. It is possible that because of his decision to stay with this woman, instead of living in peace, he is now, prayerfully, resting in it.

Amanda Rodrigues' sister Flavia was quoted as saying: "My sister, like us, is very religious and would be incapable of killing anyone." Ummm, let's not hide behind religion with this. That is not going to wash with a jury of her peers. Seriously, that would be like saying "religious" people do not molest children or commit adultery. Yeah... ok.


Exhibit C: Jon Gosselin (Jon and Kate Plus 8). Without the ink being fully dry on the divorce papers, he is seen traipsing around with a fine young 22 year old thang. There are rumors swirling about him possibly being engaged to her. Rumor has it that she is a "wild girl" so personally, if I were him, I wouldn't eff with her. But I digress. Ok, I admit, my digression in this particular situation is not for long. Ok, seriously? To Miss Hailey... There isn't enough money in the world a man with EIGHT KIDS could possibly have that would make me even HALFWAY interested in dating him, #1 and #2, to Jon... clearly YOU have not heard about what happens to considerably older men when they date anyone born in the late 80's - early 90's. Dummy.


Exhibit D: Tony Romo - Did y'all hear about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback dumping Jessica Simpson on the eve of her 29th birthday and big Ken and Barbie-themed birthday bash? Whoa... Supposedly, Romo was upset that JS still had contact with her ex-BF John Mayer. Now would this be considered some type of insecurity on his part? Perhaps. We all have our own insecurities to deal with. I think the bigger issue is how we choose to keep them at bay. I don't know what their relationship was like but I do recall hearing about Jessica Simpson "wildin' out" in Hollywood after her divorce from Nick Lachey. All I'm saying is, if that is true, Tony Romo knew what and who he was getting into when he decided to be with this chick. Don't act all surprised and hurt now!

I know you Dallas fans are like: "Woo-hoooo! Good Riddance to the Black Widow!", but y'all need to hold your horses. (Yes, I'm partially hating, as I AM a die-hard Giants fan LOL) Dumping a chick the day before her birthday is almost as tantamount as leaving her standing at the altar. Which takes me to the Jerk of the Week...


RICHARD JEFFERSON of The San Antonio Spurs... Despite the fact that I can't stand his ignorant arse for reasons I need not get into, I truly wonder if he is trying to become the next celebrity sports murder victim! The San Antonio Spurs forward was supposed to get married last Saturday, July 11th. He reportedly had cold feet and his former fiancee was also described as "not being totally caught off-guard" by his decision. Ummm, hello, McFly?!?!?! Why is it that some of Jefferson's closest friends didn't even know that he decided to backpedal before jumping the broom? But even worse... wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... HE BROKE IT OFF WITH HER VIA E-MAIL!!! That crap right there is something I'm sure will contribute to his former fiancee's tainted view (assuming it wasn't tainted before this...LOL) of the male gender. Who the hayale WILLINGLY takes a trip to Crazyville? No one I know. Well, Jefferson has reportedly given his ex an undisclosed amount of money since breaking up. Payment to avoid death a la McNair and Gatti? Quite possibly. Only he knows.

There's a thin line between love and hate...

I am having a love-hate relationship issues like a mug...

I love...
the way Judge Sonia Sotomayor speaks. She carefully chooses her words EVERY TIME she responds to those Senators' questions. It's almost like she is purposefully slowwwws dowwwwn her comments so as to shut her naysayers the FU, not allowing them to twist her words as they did when she made her "wise Latina" comment. I love her gangsta.


I hate...
Senator Lindsey Graham. He spoke to Ms. Sotomayor today as if she were a child on the short yellow bus. He was very condescending and I found it insulting that he felt the need to tell her what she should and should not do and what she should and should not think about. He is a jackarse. Personally, I need all Republicans from the state of South Carolina to FALL BACK. Especially since today I learned that while Governor Sanford was in Argentina getting his freak on with his soulmate, he ignored FIFTEEN phone calls from his Chief of Staff! WTF?!?! STFU and stay in your lane until your state can win back some respect.


I love...
Michael Jackson. Y'all KNOW I DO!!! He was an absolutely amazing talent and his music WILL live on forever. This may sound weird but I feel like a piece of me died right along with him. As a matter of fact, I don't know too many mega fans who don't feel this way too. RIP Michael Joseph Jackson.


I hate...
the fact that Debbie Rowe reportedly just settled for $4M to drop the custody battle against MJ's mama, Katherine. Really, I don't think she ever had a chance to win that battle but I can kinda sorta understand why Katherine backpedaled. She is getting too up in age to be going to the courthouse e'eryday amid reporters, paparazzi and the like. Even if this turns out to be untrue, the fact of the matter is that D. Rowe is looking to benefit from this in SOME way. Why else would her name be in the headlines every freaking day? EFF YOU DEBBIE ROWE! There is a special spot in hell waiting for you.

I love...
that Sarah Palin is in the news again. She's my she-ro! NOT! But, she IS very entertaining to say the least.


I hate...
that Sarah Palin is in the news again giving female politicians a bad name. What is this I'm hearing about her flip-flopping on the issues again? This is what happens when you allow other people to write and think for you. She supported the proposed cap and trade plan during the vice presidential debate, but today is quoted in the Washington Post as being all out against it! She's so dumb. Dag nabbit, she has BRICKS for BRAINS! Yeah, I said it

I love...
how shiznitty the GOP is looking these days. Between Dick Cheney's secret missions with the CIA, Senator John Ensign admitting through his lawyer that his parents had written a series of checks totaling nearly $100K to his former lover, her husband and her two children and Governor Sanford clearly being off his meds with that "soulmate" remark AMONGST OTHER THINGS, the party looks and sounds as dumb as John McCain did the night he referred to President Obama as "THAT ONE".

I hate...
MICHAEL STEELE. He's gonna bring "the fried chicken and potato salad" to the party when he attempts to "woo" more Blacks to join the GOP. This statement was made AFTER someone in the background shouted, "I'll bring the collard greens!" If y'all don't believe me just check it out for yourselves. I couldn't make this up if I tried. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2DJpcIu5cY&feature=player_embedded

Totally random...
I love...
my mother. Lord knows I do. BUT...

I hate...
that I have become her. ALL YOU LADIES OUT THERE KNOW EXAAAAACTLY what I'm talking about.


Thanks for reading my semi-daily diatribes. I sure do appreciate ya! Make today a great one people!!!

Random Thoughts 7/13/09

Ok so where do I begin? I'm gonna just dive right in.

GATDAMN REPUBLICANS!!!

1. Let's start with the stupid picture of our president SUPPOSEDLY looking at another woman's butt. We all know that still pics can be deceiving so I made sure I included the video that clears up the whole situation... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUFkpv6SlvI

Come on people... How many times has a pic been snapped of you and you LOOKED like you were doing or saying something that you weren't? If the Repubs are really tryna make a big deal out of this, good luck. Gov Sanford and Sen. Ensign have already trumped Obama in this department. (I'll get to THEM in a minute.) The truth of the matter is that our president will be scrutinized NO MATTER WHAT. I see those Re"snubs" aren't talking about how just after spending one day in Russia, Obama was able to get permission to fly over their air space to get to Afghanistan saving us $130M per year. Ummm yeah.

Hey Repubs... how does it feel for your country to be sorta kinda liked and respected again by other nations? All because you jerks are no longer at the helm. Wow... that must sting.



2. A good friend said "DEMs let REPs get away with maddddd isht, young! Do u think the GOP would've let the Sanford situation die this early, had he been a DEM? Or any of the other GOP blunders for that matter?" Personally, I'm not letting the Dems get off all that easily because they aren't all that squeaky clean themselves so they best to keep their mouths shut. It's only a matter of time before some shiznit hits the fan with one of them too. After all, what would partisan politics be without a good scandal on either side? The Dems had their Eliot Spitzer and The Pubs have good old Mark Sanford.

What eats me up about the Repubs is how they try to act like they have such high moral standards. Eff that damn Gov. Sanford because he was THEEEEE biggest advocate for getting Clinton impeached for getting his knob slobbed while on the job. You Mr. Sanford, yes, you, governor of the great state of South Carolina where thousands of license plates read "In God We Trust", left your job without putting ANYONE in charge and left the country without telling ANYONE where you were going to get your d&%k sucked by your "soulmate". STFU and sit yo arse down. God forbid if there was a state prison break or natural disaster that hit SC while you were whispering sweet nothings in your Latina lover's ear, then what??? He did ALL OF THAT and STILL hasn't stepped down from office. Get the hayale outta here with that shiznit, Mark Sanford. Go fly a kite.

That took a lot out of me. I'll talk about that damn Ensign another time...



3. This is why I love me some Chris Matthews (HARDBALL), a man after my own heart. He echoed my sentiments exactly when he said "WHO THE HELL IS CHENEY? Somebody needs to take a refresher course in the US Constitution..." Seriously, I need Dick Cheney to get hung by his well, you know where I'm going with this. He broke the law REPEATEDLY yet has the audacity to criticize the current administration. In the latest Bush administration fiasco, it has been discovered that Cheney secretly gave orders to the CIA. Keep ya trap shut, Dick because you are going to eat your words. Bad enough you thought you were the president for the past 8 years but then you repeatedly displayed a blatant disregard for the system of government that we have had in place for the past 233 years. If I were you Dick, I would STFU and STHD. And clearly I am not alone because as of today, there are 250,806 other people that agree with me as evidenced by the following page... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=513450035&ref=profile#/shutupdick?ref=ts Feel free to join, folks! LOL


I'm telling you... This is going to be one heck of a summer. Let's face it, at least there is something else to talk about besides how crappy the weather has been!

Random Thoughts 7/9/09

Ok so if there is anyone that CLAIMS they know me, they know that I generally have a series of random thoughts going on in this head of mine. Sometimes it's just too much for me so I choose to express them when I feel necessary whether you want to hear them or not. LOL Seriously, there is never a dull moment in my mind. The wheels are always turning. At least we know my mind is hardly ever idle. Hahaha!

Today's random thoughts have a whole lot to do with things that are going on in the news. I was once quoted within the last few weeks as saying that "Summer TV suuuuuucks." Well, I'd like to retract that statement because as of late, there is a whoooooole lot to watch. I've been popping popcorn every night and sitting in front of the TV like they've been playing a Coming to America or The Color Purple Marathon.

Here goes...

1. Marion Barry... SMDH... WHAT can I say about him? All i wanna know is whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy there is a newspaper in circulation that features the headline..."You put me out in Denver 'cause I wouldn't suck your d&$k". Oh Em Geeeeeeee... NEED I SAY MORE? I'm gon' leave that one alone and let you read and hear the voicemails for yourself. Visit http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=37514 HAPPY READING!


2. Debbie Rowe needs to row, row, row her arse out of family court. Chick, you are NOT the MOTHER in the eyes of MJ's children. You CARRIED them, but you did not MOTHER them. There is a CLEAR difference between the two. And what is this that I'm hearing about the eggs not even belonging to her? WHAT IN THEEEEE WORRRRRRLD?!?!? She is a money-grubbing broke chick who signed papers that gave up any parental rights to those kids. Debbie Rowe, I'm gonna need you to ShutTFU and SitTFDown. There's only one thing I can't stand more than stupid people... Attention-seeking people.


3. Which takes me to our next idiot, Sarah Palin. Boy oh boy am I everrrrrrrr waiting for the shoe to drop! What does this chick have up her sleeve? And can someone tell her that if she is going to have a press conference, that it should be conducted INDOORS so we can do without hearing the geese mating calls in the background??? Then again, I could appreciate the geese drowning out that chick's inarticulate psycho babble.

Exhibit A: "well, in response to asking: "Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from OUTSIDE the Governor's office?" It was four "yes's" and one "hell yeah!" The "hell yeah" sealed it - and someday I'll talk about the details of that..."
Uhhhh, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!? This same woman wants to run for president of the United States? Yeah OK.

Exhibit B: "Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig - I know he needs me, but I need him even more... what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT - that time is precious... the world needs more "Trigs", not fewer."
Uhhhh, WHAAAAAT?!?!? So now the world needs more people with Down Syndrome? Really, what is this woman talking about?

I'm gonna need Sarah Palin to come out and say what it is she really wants to say but just doesn't have the heart to do so. "I'm seeing GREEEEEN, snitches!" Screw this government job and SCREW Alaska! I'm taking this monkey show on the road!!! Btw, after her announcement, the number of fans on her FB page increased by 30,000 in a matter of a day. She's entertaining to say the least.


4. Steve McNair... Ok, not so much Steve but that dumb young chick he was seeing that ultimately took him and herself out. Then again, in the profound words of TLC, "Oh yes, son, I'm talking to you." Not to speak ill of the dead but Steve exercised poor judgment in dealing with a chick damn near half his age. Some 30 year old jumpoffs don't know how to stay in their lane. What the hayale would make anyone think a 20 year old could? This chick took him out because she thought he was "cheating" on her with another jumpoff. Ok not that I condone "jumpoffism", BUT I'm gonna need all women who seem to be OK with playing this part to take JumpOff 101 or at some other institutions it may be referred to as Sideline Ho 101.

First lesson in Jumpoffism is that you STAY YOUR ARSE in the lane labeled JUMPOFF or SIDELINE HO. If you are a jumpoff, guess what? you're probably NOT the only one dude is jumping off with. STAY IN YOUR LANE. If he cosigns for or buys you a ride, do not take this to mean that he is leaving his WIFE for you. Take it as payment to keep your arse quiet. Keep your mouth shut and, say it with me people... STAY IN YOUR LANE. Now I have NEVER subscribed to being a jumpoff, but I tell ya what... IF YOU KNOWWWWWWWW THAT YOU ARE THE SIDELINE HO, you need to fall back and be the best sideline ho you can be. We all can stand to be the best at what we do. Why expect anything less from a jumpoff?


5. So I was thinking, why do some people (read MEN) think it's okay to talk shiznit about their spouses? LOL Last night I was at the gym and there was a dude, let's just call him Johnny, talking so much STUFF about his home life. "Oh my wife isn't happy unless I'm unhappy..." "Oh, why should I open doors for you women? Women's lib exed that out years ago." "Oh, my wife knows that when I get home all she needs to have for me is the remote somewhere that I can find it and juice in the fridge." WHAT IN THEEEEE WORRRRRLD?!?!?!

Now, I personally have a problem with this because if I should EVER meet or see his wife in person, I may feel the need to straight up look at her like she is BooBoo the Fool for marrying this clown. I straight up told him, "Dude, you are a jackass and God bless the woman that had three kids for you and puts up with your BS." Truth be told, he's probably a punk arse at home and most likely got his arse in check. The only way he feels mannish again is when he comes to the gym and talks crap. LOL


6. BET %$&#*@%#$@)#^%$%$^@$^$%!?@*&^$%?$@?!@!#&#?$&(@?@&&#**@(#?><@?#>$<#?@@?$&$%%$*(@(*#&$%$$@!*!@@&#!%@?#?!@?@#?$$@?$?@?%$%^?&?&?*?*??......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Ok, enough about that.


Well folks, this is all I have to say for today. I'll be sure to come back and load all my random thoughts off on you. Now you'll have something to think about. LOL
