KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY

"I'm so overwhelmed, I don't know where to start or what to do... so I just won't do anything."

Have you ever been driving with your destination in mind, the excitement and anticipation of getting there slowly building up, only to realize that somewhere along the way, you've lost your sense of direction? So you pull over to the side of the road to re-focus, get your bearings straight and continue your journey.

I don't know about ya'll, but I often have times like this in real life. I done had to talk to God like, "Aye Lord, pull this car (life) over, it feel like I'm bout to throw up." That being said, if you're wondering where I've been, I had to pull the car over and get my bearings straight for a minute. But, I'm back and pettier than ever!

Here's what's been poppin' in the land of Aintbritfunny:

On April 26, 2018, I hosted a really dope show for AFROTRAK at Subterranean in Chicago, IL. Headlining, was the incredibly talented SamTrump & The Soul Vortex featuring some on fire performances from Adam Ness and Nola Ade! If ya'll missed this show, you really missed a treat. Hell, them performances was so good I went home and wrote me a few songs.



This was my second time hosting an AFROTRAK show or any show in general for that matter. It's always good vibes, good people, good music and if you play your cards right, you might even find you a good man/woman. I love the spaces that founder of AFROTRAK, Mike Orie is creating for young black folks. And it has been a pleasure watching his brand grow and being a part of it. So, if you're in the Chicago area this weekend, pop out to the upcoming day party on Saturday, June 9, 2018. Ya'll know ya'll old and like to be in the bed by midnight. This is perfect for you.



Ya'll, I have a lot of new things that I will be sharing with you this summer. Things like: more blog content, new tees in the Aintbritfunny store and maybe even a new stomach because I have been trying to do these sit ups while I've been away.

The moral of the story is, sometimes, you have to pull over, catch your breath and re-focus. But that doesn't mean that you stop going. I understand how sometimes watching the people around you grow and move forward can make you feel you feel like you're behind. Not so. Remember, everyone is in their own car, on their own journey. Let your peers be an inspiration to you. It's honestly what has kept me on my toes. Like, "Hey, they made it...I can make it too!" You might get a little jealous, but that's normal. Just put out your foot and trip them when they walk past you. It'll make you feel better. Help 'em up though. Help 'em 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...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
