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.

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?
