Still Human

Michelle might not like it, but he's still human.

The Show

Ok, this is late as hell, but a few weeks back, I went to Ramshead in Annapolis to check out the Soul Sister Summit. Maya Azucena, Sy Smith, and Conya Doss were all in the house and put on a great show. The evening was hosted by Yahzarah, and to be honest, it was some of the most fun I've had in months.

Special shout to my date who had to get her stuff together at the last second because someone else canceled on me earlier. Your loss, you missed a hell of a show! I tried to take a few pix with my iPhone, but we know how that can be in a dark room sometimes. I'll post the good ones. All the sistahs were looking fly as hell of course, but Sy, you know I got something for you. Holla at me sometime shawty, lol!

Warning: Spare Your Liver

Never ever mix vodka and malt liquor! We called or mix "Anti-freeze". 2 Joose "Jungle Joose" Malt Liquids and some vodka. Add a little Sprite, and you have a instant party. Ahhh, I love my life...

FaceBreak!!

So I just decided to do it. I had no reason, I wasn't protesting anything. No one pissed me off or anything like that. I just decided to take a break from Facebook and Twitter for a while. Don't even think of asking why, I just don't know. It had all gotten just a little too silly and redundant for me. All of the "Apps" on Facebook were annoying. All the pointless tweets on Twitter were almost mind numbing. So I just decided to take a break. Am I saying I'll never use these sites again, hecks no! But who knows, maybe after a break, I'll improve the ways that I use them both. For now they both seem so pointless.

I remember during the campaign season last fall, Twitter was the center of my life! To me it seemed as if the national debate was being wagged in the form of tweets every night. After every debate, and every news show, there were millions of opinions flowing between myself and my fellow "tweeps". And even during the inauguration of President Obama, we shared so much that we crashed the site, and brought on the infamous "Fail Whale" all weekend long. But the excitement has since subsided, and all we seem to tweet about is Rihanna's goodies.

Ok, i'll get off my sop box (because I know I was looking at the Rihanna pix too...). Maybe I'll take this time to start blogging again. It is something that I've been neglecting over the past few years. I know, I know... It's so old school, so 2003! You might be right, but at least it was a little something more to it. Web 2.0 seems to be turning our brains to mush even quicker than TV, and that's saying something!

The "System" Works!

What the deal fam? I know yall are probably wondering what I'm talking about when I say the system works.  Is he talking about Government? The broke dick VA?  The tax code?  Hell naw, I'm talking about Nutrisystem!  I am one of the people preaching the gospel about it now.  Since I started, I've lost 15 lbs.  Now I know some of yall are gonna be thinking "that's not a lot, why is he so happy?!"  The answer is simple, I've only been on it for 15 days.  That's a pound a day, not bad right?

With that being said, I have to be honest, there are down sides.  First off, the price.  It is a little expensive.  All and all, I've spent about $400 total on the pre packaged food itself, plus the needed groceries that I had to buy.  Oh yeah, don't get it twisted.  You will still have to make those dreaded trips to the grocery store for all the things that can't be vacuumed packed, so be ready for that.  The last bad point to me is the taste.  Don't get me wrong, most of the meals, about 80% are great!  The other 20% are just horrible.  But the good side to that is you can custom order your meals for the month, so after the first month, you know what to get and what not to get.

All and all I'd have to say it's worth it.  If you're like me, and have over 30 lbs to lose, it might be worth your time.  As for the cost, that's up to the individual.  To me, it's worth the money because I'm dropping pounds, I feel good, and I'm not spending tons of money of fast food at work everyday like I use to.  So all you folks that are sick of fad diets, and the latest "detox", give them a try.  If you only have a few pounds to drop, don't bother.

Don't Belive The Hype

So I'm riding the metro home after a long day of work, and I over hear a conversation about the book that seems to be all the rage for the profesional sistahs in the DC metro area: Mr Steve Harvey's "Act Like A Lady - Think Like A Man". "Is that book any good, or is it all hype" one beautiful sistah says to the other. "Girl he ain't said nothing I ain't heard before!" was the reply she got from the older women. I shook my head and laughed, who the hell made Steve the authority on all Black male thought anyway?! I mean seriously! Some folks will take this the wrong way, they'll say I'm hating on Harvey, or I'm just mad he's giving away all our secrests (lmao @ that one!). The truth of the matter is I just don't know what it is about some women who want to figure us all out. I stop trying to figure Black women out a long time ago. The main reason for that is because I realized that there was no collective "Black Woman" to figure out. Each woman is her own individual. It's just not smart to try to figure out an entire goup of people. You're only going to be with one of them at a time right? Well, maybe a few at a time for all those playas out there, but still no need to figure it all out. Sistahs need to come to the same realization. There is no collective "Brotha" to figure out. We're all our own individuals just like y'all are.

See, I have a theory about why we keep buying relationship books, and going to the latest "mama why'd I get married to a convicted fellon who's somehow fits every sterotype for black men that I've ever heard" play. It's because we're trying to come up with a quick fix. We're all looking for the perfect relationship from the jump. But instead of giving it time, we're looking to find the answers right now instead of being patient. The answers to all our relationships aren't coded into plays, and overhyped books. The answers to our relationship problems are right in front of us. They're in the person that we are dating, and alot of time they're right in the mirror. But for some strange reason we just don't want to put in the work required to maintain a good relationship. Maybe it's a by-product of the "microwave generation" wanting everything right now, who knows. All I'm saying is pay attention to the one you're with. Somehow, someway they'll tell you everything you need to know to figure them out. The only question then will be are you listening.
