100 Days of Britney

"Who coming with me to the movies this weekend?" The answer is NO ONE! I hear so many people telling me things that they can`t do alone. YES YOU CAN! I get it, you want that extra company. Someone to laugh at the same jokes that you do, share the popcorn, and of course buy the ticket. I know you don`t get paid until next week. It can be hard going places alone and seeing couples and groups of people having fun together and face it, you may even feel a little embarrassed. Ashamed that you`re by yourself. Well, there's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Unless you`re one of those really mean, annoying people that are a pain to be around, then you don`t deserve company or a free ticket. FOOL.

Iv`e been reading and learning about this "100 Days of Happy" Challenge and I liked it! But, I wanted to put my own spin on it. Iv`e talked to you all before about how I LOVE to date but it seems so hard to find men who are still into that. Most of my friends live in different cities or our schedules clash so it`s hard to call them up when I`m free for drinks, dinner or a movie. After becoming frustrated about guys who don`t date and friends being unavailable, I decided, "you know what? I can treat me good too". So I created a long list of things that I had been wanting to do but kept putting off because I didn't have anyone to do them with. I call it "100 Days of Britney" instead. If I want to go have a drink, I`ll do it. If want to go see a show, I`ll do it. If I want to go to a new fancy restaurant, I`m calling my mama so she can treat. Ya`ll know I`m trying to save money.

So far, the feeling has been very liberating. We often get together with other folks to take our minds off of our own responsibilities, but it`s nice to just hear yourself think and learn how to enjoy your own company. After all, we came in this world alone and we`re going to have to leave alone. Unless you`re a twin, you lucky devil. I always wanted a twin. Not a sister though, I wanna be the cute one. Like, what if she trick my boyfriend and steal him from me? I`d have to cut her.

Anyway, I`d like to challenge you all to try this. Just erase my name and add yours. I`d like to hear about your journey as well. I mean, after all, you do come here and listen to me rambling from time to time. If you can`t do something everyday, try at least once a week until you get to 100. I started my challenge while I was living in L.A. It was easy because I was in unfamiliar territory and had lots of exploring to do. But you never know what hidden gems you`ll find in your own city as well. I'm not sure if I will make it to 100, y'all know I'm trying to get my life together. We're gonna see how far we get though!

Iv`e already gotten 3 down! Ya`ll know I don`t like to be bothered anyway. I`ll still take you up on that date though.

DAY 1: Long Walk on Manhattan Beach


















DAY 2: "The Counter" No carry out! Favorite meal and Sangria at my favorite burger spot in LA (why was this bill $30. Should of just gotten a water and fries)

















DAY 3: I LOVE CUPCAKES! I spent the day in Beverly Hills eating this and looking at things I can`t afford. A parking space was one of them.

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...

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...

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...
