OLD DOGS AND NEW TRICKS

"I need a mature man" I sure have been hearing this a lot lately. Maybe even out of my own mouth. Oops. I hate to say it but its true. They seem to be like a needle in a haystack out here. We live in a society where anything goes. Especially when it comes to dating. I mean, what is the true definition of a "date" anyway? Is that word even in our vocabulary anymore? I mean dang, let me get dressed up for you and be nervous and stuff. Nowadays, the most I need to have on is a bra and panties because you`re probably just going to ask me to come over your house anyway. What you got to eat over there? I might be able to throw on these sweat pants and be on my way. Just kidding, stop being gross and ask me out on a real date.

Okay, I admit, in a lot of ways, I am pretty old fashioned. I've been told multiple times that I have an old soul. In fact, I once tried dating a guy that really felt the need to bring that to my attention, and he wasn't nice about it at all. He insisted on having "dates" at his house and I insisted on being taken out. When I finally told him that Netflix and chill wasn't my style, he became infuriated, suggested that I was "too old fashioned, this isn't the 50`s anymore" and that I would be "single for hellas". However, two months later, the fool was in my text messages once again. I guess he figured he was going to break me one way or another. Not happening. I ran up his Netflix bill and shot up my phone because I'm a G and I don't need that type of negativity in my iPhone. I'm playing, I just deleted dude number and screen shot the texts. I keep EVERYTHING for my records, okay?

I guess my problem is, I'm just not used to dealing with that stuff. I've met so many nice young men in the past that didn't mind taking a lady on a date. What happened? All of y'all got married? Y'all got kids now? What the hell state do y'all live in? I'm about to move there.

Now, when I say I want a mature man, I really have to be careful what I ask for. I think the Lord been misunderstanding my request or something. Because I didn't want the man named Earl with the gold tooth or the man named Albert that smell like Hennessy, moth balls and my granddaddy cologne. I can deal with a guy that's old enough to clip his phone to his hip but I can't deal with dude at the wing joint wearing the blue tooth ear piece talking all loud. Like, no one knows who you're talking to, why are you doing this? I bet you he wouldn't think I`m old fashioned for wanting a date though. But then, every time I'd talk to him I would imagine him on that blue tooth ear piece. Make it stop Lord. Make it stop.

Moral of the story is, girl, get you a man with some kids your age.

Just kidding, that's disgusting.

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?
