THROW IT BACK

"Throw that ass in a circle" Really? Some of the music these days disappoints me. And to make matters worse, when you go out, you can actually SEE chicks throwing it in a circle. Meanwhile, I`m somewhere at the bar drowning myself in the thought that there is no way I can compete with that.

When I was younger, listening to rap and hip-hop music with my brothers, my dad would say "I don`t wanna hear all that rap mess". Ever since then, I promised myself  that I`d never become one of those adults that hate damn near everything that the new generation has going on. But, I cant help it. I hate the word "fleek", I hate that ya`ll brought baby hairs back, I hate that ya`ll don`t play outside and I hate that ya`ll are so fly at prom. I mean dang, why couldn`t I have a see through Beyonce dress with a train in 2007 and have my date look like a young Al B. Sure. Ya`ll make me sick!

I must admit though, at night, when everyone is asleep, and I`m in my room alone, with all of the blinds shut and I`m cleaning up, I will turn up to some "Trap Queen" and might even throw that ass in a circle in the
mirror. Shhhh don`t tell nobody though.

Please enjoy this photo of a young undergrad me after a slight turn up.

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...
