I LIKE TO CUSS

"What did you just say?"
"It's not lady like to say those words."
"Watch ya mouth."

 Times When I enjoying Cussing:

-When I'm mad
-When I'm rapping (Aintbritrapping ?)
-When I'm acting
-When I'm telling a story

Okay, the kitchen might get a little steamy today so if you can't take the heat, you better get out now. Y'all know I love to laugh and hearing people cuss has always tickled me. I especially loved hearing older black women say those words so cool. I mean, they would say it so fast and so good, it would leave you like "Dang, did she just say what I think she said?"

Now, while I do enjoy cussing, I hate the word "bitch". It really gets under my skin. And no, I don't care how it's used. If you ever hear me refer to you as such, we not friends. It's funny because I always have to have this "Don't call me that" discussion with people at some point and it's really awkward. One time, I told this girl that I don't do the name calling and she got upset and blocked me on everything. I know she gotta be hella mad when I still be popping up in her feed because her friends like me. Damn, that's gotta suck.

When I took my first acting class in high school, my teacher told us that we were only allowed to say "hell" and "damn". That has stuck with me til this day. I try to keep it as PG as possible when writing to you all because:

1. My Mama and her friends are watching me.
2. I want people of all ages to be able to enjoy my work.

Now, I must admit, I love when a director hands me a script with lots of cussing. You better believe, when it's time for me to say "F*** you!" I'm saying it hella hard and you gone feel it in your chest. Sometimes, I actually look for monologues with at least one or two cuss words just so they can know that I don't have to be as innocent as I appear and that I have range. Know what I'm sayin?

I try to limit the times that I use profanity. I do agree that someone who can get through an entire argument or difficult situation, using a wide vocabulary and not a single dirty word  while still getting their point across is a very intelligent and controlled human being. This is not to say that someone who uses profanity is not intelligent, we just don't choose to control our emotions during this time.

 Them: "I am just appalled by this..."
Me: "I just don't underf***ingstand why you can't act right!"

I remember having a really bad day at work. When I got off, I called my then, boyfriend to vent. Now, keep it mind, he used to cuss up a storm on a regular day while I toned it down unless I was telling him a funny story. This was his first time seeing me this upset and I had a few cuss words up my sleeve that I had been holding in all day. This man had the nerve to interrupt me and ask why I had to cuss so much. So now, the cussing had to be directed to him. If I wanted to watch my mouth, I would call my Mom and vent to her. Okay? Hell, I'm not even ready for her to follow me on Twitter because I might let one slip in a tweet.

Look, the moral of the story is, I'm a grown ass woman. I'm respectful of those around me. I'm educated. And I still love the Lord. But I just like to cuss sometimes. Not all the time. I said, some..times. And because I am a grown woman, I need to be able to pour me a drink on some days, cross my legs and say whatever I feel like saying around my homies or my man.

But y'all, don't be cussing these kids out. That ain't right. Call me when they get on your nerves. I'll cuss with you.

-BRIT

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...
