. BREAUX BEFORE HEAUX

"Britney. DO NOT. Mess this up for US." Those are what my big brother would like to call "words of wisdom". They come in any conversation before an audition, a big move, and even a date (He knows I will hire and fire a brotha in the same week).

Having a sibling is awesome. If you follow me on any social media networks, you can tell from my pictures that I`m a very family oriented person. Although my brother and I are seven years apart, it`s never really felt that way. Accept for that one time he told on me for writing "Britney A. Douglas" on the armrest in my mom`s car. Yes, I know it said MY name but you didn't have to tell her. Worst whooping of my life. Someone once asked us, at what point did we grow close. I didn't have an answer because we have always been close. We fought like Ike and Tina back in the day though. I was Ike.

He`s always down to come get me out of the shenanigans that I seem to find myself in, i.e, moving to L.A. with a roommate named Cockroach, moving me out of my Chicago apartment that was broken into, carrying a suitcase full of groceries on the mega bus and hooking up every single T.V that I've ever owned. I promise it wasn't for a "Netflix and chill" session. I don't even have a Netflix account.

It`s easier to get through life after you've watched someone go through it for you. Like, now I know that I probably only want one kid. He be looking hella tired with all of those kids. If I ever feel the need to have more than one, I`ll invite my nieces and nephews over. Problem solved.

I loved when his friends came over. And y'all know I`m not talking about his lil home girls either. I know he`s probably going to hate this part of the blog but maybe he should stop having sexy friends. The high school friends, the ones he would bring home from college, the ones from back in the day, the ones he just met, hell, even the dudes that model for his clothing line. I`m like, "Damn Shawn, can I play with your friends?". I know at least half of them are single. But I get it, he doesn't want to have to bust a cap if one of y'all decide to act up. Still call me though. He ain't gotta know until we get married.

You can thank him for helping to get Aintbritfunny up and running. I watched him create and develop his very own website for this clothing line and build his brand over the years. I don't make clothes or do any type of design but I was truly inspired by his hustle and I still am. Now, I have to figure out how to start getting money from my craft like he does. Y'all ready to start paying for Aintbritfunny yet? Oh I`m not famous enough? I hate y'all. Still go and check out his site theherobrand.com though. We got to get some money in this family one way or another!

Yes, I just plugged my brother.


... That was another plug. Just kidding, this is the real ending pic...

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

SIMON SAYS: CHILL OUT

"I'm just not feeling it right now." Lately, I've had a lack of creativity. I usually feel like I'm bursting with so many ideas that I can't write them down fast enough. I don't know if it's writer's block, I'm uninspired or maybe I'm just so relaxed from the hot girl summer, that I'm not motivated to do anything but take pictures with a lil bit of cleavage showing so that somebody's son can slide into my DM's for cuffing season. Photo: My Mama Yeah. That's prolly what it is. We live in a world where they try to tell us that "Rich people don't sleep" or, folks are constantly pushing this "No days off" narrative. But, if we are constantly working ourselves to death, where do we find the time to be still so that we can hear what the next move is supposed to be?
