Who going to Wakanda?!?!?

Last weekend I went to see the much talked about movie Black Panther. The week prior was opening weekend. When I tell you black people dressed in African garb and Wakanda Forever T-Shirts. They showed up and got in formation.
I said I was going and my Facebook peers suggested I dress up, do it for the culture. Well I did not dress up.I sat my happy self in my truck at the local drive in with a Publix sub and a half gallon of their peach tea and waited to see what all the fuss was about.

When the movie was over I remember saying I like the soundtrack. I liked how they could fly and drive and still be in the lab. I liked it all in all. However I LOVE the Suicide Squad. I like what I like and I don't go along with everything black because I'm black. I seen alot of my peers looking for flights to Wakanda, ya'll be safe. I'm not going. They had little quotes that people felt were geared to keep us woke. Funny thing is ya'll still sleep.

Weeks before the movie was to be released, women wanted to boycott the film because one of it's stars Michael B. Jordan was dating a non melanin sister.  He is an actor,his job is to perform. Who and what he does is his business. Yet ya'll wanna revoke a "black card" because they don't line up the way ya'll feel they should. That's like all the brothers on Facebook yelling stay woke,and "I love my melanin sista's", but their significant other's have no melanin and look nothing like the "sista's" they have all this love for.

You are entitled to love who you want. Be whoever you desire to be in life. Just don't make anyone else feel less than because they don't share your views. Everyone is mad at the white man for slavery, but you must remember who helped capture and sell your ancestors to the slave owners in the first place. There is so much history to discover, look at it from all sides before choosing a side.

Now for all of you going to Wakanda,enjoy it. Respect those of us who decided to stay where we are. After all, everything ain't for everybody.

Pieces of Me

Once of my favorite songs is Ledisi's "Pieces of Me". That song describes me to the T! It says so much about how I feel on a daily basis. I have learned how to cover my true feelings for the sake of others, and  I am a master at laughing to keep from crying.  I have a bad habit of compromising my own happiness for the sake of others. It's funny how I can be strong for everyone else but me. I'm too busy worried about hurting someone's feelings. I realize now I can't really help that because these things were instilled in me at a very young age. When someone said "aww she's so pretty", my aunt would say "no she aint"! Although I love her to the depths of my soul, she was mean as hell to me growing up. I will share that another day. Today I'm just preparing you for what's to come. My life was like the Color Purple, "You bet not tell nobody but God". To endure all the things that were inflicted upon me was like...

Ms. Men O. Pause, have several seats please!

I want a refund on all the free classes that gave out sub par information! If I tell you something, I am going to give you all the facts, good and bad!Remember in elementary school, 5th grade, they separated the girls and boys and had, "the talk". I was told that I would bleed once a month for a few days. That was lie number one! I bled for seven days!!! I was told that once I received this "gift", I should expect it every month until I'm in my fifties!!! WAIT WHAT?!?!?!?! Well first of all, Aunt Flo showed up one month before my thirteenth birthday. I was the last one in my group,lol. I got it and then I didn't get it.I had what was called a irregular period until I had my first child. The nicest thing I can say about my Auntie Flo is she was not painful. I couldn't wear white or go horseback riding like the commercial state, but I never had cramps. Well after years of rebellion  I finally Auntie Flo under control. Well she decided to buck the system...

Happy New Year!!

I am truly amazed at how fast 2015 eased on out of here! It seems like six months ago we were saying, New Year, New Me. I'm just amazed at how I survived 2015! With the normal aches and pains I was doing pretty good, Then in April I had a "Man down " situation! I remember Staying up on a Wednesday night til 4a.m. I was cleaning, going through sweats and chills. Something kept saying don't stop moving. Later that day I went to a funeral with a friend and I kept it moving. By Saturday I was hurting like a son of a gun! Went to hospital got a test done and went home. The next day went back to the doctor and had emergency surgery that night! Doctor came in to tell me I was lucky to be alive. My appendix had exploded. He told me it had to be at least a week because of how they had to fish it out. Im amazed at how all my doctors tell me they have never seen a case like mine. Two days later I was undergoing another surgery. This one was to remove my spinal shunt. Seems l...
