If I Were A Boy

If the tables were turned, how would you feel if I popped up with gifts, your favorite dish, kisses and hugs? How would you feel if I held you tight, talked with you all night? How would you feel if I asked you out on a date, made dinner, sat with you and ate? How would you feel if after all that I tell you that you're nothing more than a friend, who I happen to do other things with? That things could never go back to where they were. So, what in the world was all of that for?

Friday Randoms

* I saw a giraffe bird this morning. No lie! I was driving and looked up and there was this thing sitting on a power line. It had a short, stumpy lower with this extremely long neck! A giraffe bird! Look it up!

* So, the song, Mary Jane, by Rick James- that wasn't about a woman named Mary Jane, was it? I was jamming this morning in my car to it and it dawned on me. Where have I been???

* I'm in such a wonderful mood. I'm alive! I'm blessed! I'm a winner!! =) Shout out to HLCC.

* I'm going to be 26 in 4 months. What the h-e double hockey sticks?!?! Where is the time going?? OMG!!!!

* I miss you. Let's go find something stupid to watch and fall out laughing together. How about the play???

* I let my soul sisters hold my Kinky Curly. I finally got it back and went to use it this morning and that bad boy was empty! Really guys????

* If McCain and Palin get elected, we can rest assured because he was in a war and she knows how to hunt. WOO HOO!!! That makes me feel secure living here in America.

*And what is so great that they are mavericks? What is that about? Please explain it to me. No seriously, someone email me or comment and tell me what that means.

* Why am I so disobedient?

*This guy that I work with embarrasses me when I come into work. He makes a big deal out of my beauty. lol. I'm not being conceited. I don't mean like that. But he says things out loud like: "Oh my goodness! (then turns to other co-workers) Do you see this? Do you see this? Who is this? I don't think we've met." or "Look at this super model right here." It's embarrassing. I don't want the whole office looking at me. Stop!

*Why do men think that we'll want them more if they let us know that other women are chasing after them? Please! I'm 25. Not 15. That is a turn off. If you feel the need to announce that then go ahead and play with the other women. I'm me. lol! I don't need a man to validate me. I don't need anyone who tries to make me feel anything other than fabulous. And I definitely don't compete with anyone! I'm a gem. A jewel. And if you can't see that, then you are not the one! Got it? Good.

The Real Thing

I could sit here and write a poem. I could write in "code" just enough to excuse myself from really talking about it. I could bash. I could name call. I could do all kinds of things. But when I think about doing that, it reminds me of how I used to be. I used to retaliate. I used to get even. I was the most vindictive little girl. I knew where to punch you and make it really hurt. I knew how to push those buttons, to the point where you wanted to fight me.

I still do. I still can.

But I won't.

What is the point? All that matters to me is that I am pleasing my God. Blogging about it is still talking/gossiping about it. Telling your best friend is still gossiping. And then, when it has nothing to do with you, why worry about it? It's not your business. It's not your place to speak on it. It's not about you.

See, if we stop getting so wrapped up in other people's lives, our relationships would go a lot more smooth. She did this and he said that. Stop and look at yourself. Have you forgotten about all the times that you fell short. Who made you Jesus? Think about that before you open your mouth to slander someone elses name, email, or blog about someone else's business.

I digress on that note...

LOL! Yes! I am about to talk about myself. After all of that preaching, I'm about to talk about myself. (I'm talking to you. You know who you are. ;p) It took me 3 hours last night to do my hair!!! 3!! And it is still not perfect! I finally gave up and was like, screw it. But I think I did a good job, for the most part. I couldn't take it anymore. The curly fro had to go!!! Maybe I'll only unleash it on the weekends?? Or maybe I'll come up off of $200 and get it braided up.

Be still. It's not as hard to do as I thought. It's not hard to wait on God. It's not hard to be content until he tells me to move. It's not hard because I know that He is almighty. He is all knowing. He has my life in his hands. So, I'll gladly sit like his good little girl. I'm being still.

My Husband

I've been waiting 10 years for him to realize it.....

Man Qualifications:

So, I was watching the Flavor of Love 3 Reunion yesterday. I was truly disgusted. Flava Flav represents everything that I DETEST in a man. All of the qualities in a man that make me sick to my stomach, everything that I've dealt with, and all of the backwards ideologies and notions make up Flava Flav.

In my experiences with men, I've found that the majority of them have the same dumb, macho, stupid idea about how to treat a woman. They are backwards and hypocritical.

Men expect a woman to lay everything out on the line. She has to put her heart out there. She can't be involved with anyone else- at least 2 years prior to him talking to her. She has to be a 10! She can't ask questions that pry into his personal life or touch on the subject of what he is doing when he isn't with her. Everything that needs to be put out there is off limits. But if a woman acts this way, she is, well... you know.

So here is a list of qualities that my man MUST have:

1. No kids. Sounds harsh, I know. But I've had my experience with the guy with a child. Not happening EVER again. Especially if the child is under 10 years old.
2. No ex within the past year. Men like to act all hard. But they are the most sensitive and weak creatures when it comes to the ex. Especially if he loved her. If you still talk to your ex or have to communicate with her for some reason and you've only been a part for less than three years, you can walk on by. I'm not dealing with it.
3. Good credit report. I need to see a print out of your credit report. Seriously. And if you can't do that, you need to demonstrate to me that you can handle your finances in a responsible manner. If I have to help you get a cell phone, then walk on by. If you have a decent job, making more than me, and still can't make ends meet, then walk on by. And this would be for dumb reasons like: spending all your money on clubbing. Which brings me to my next topic:
4. No clubbing or drinking. The lifestyle that I live is an inebriated free, no clubbing lifestyle. As a man thinketh, so is he. If he spends his time in the club, chasing after half-naked women, then I don't want him. His world is different from mine. He finds comfort in that type of environment. I've been delivered from that and we definitely aren't going to see eye to eye on anything.
5. Devout Christian. This should have been number one. I know. Being a Christian and living for Christ is a decision that I make daily. I choose not to drink. I choose not to club. I choose not to have sex. I choose to pay my tithes. I choose to do ministry. I choose to spend my free time helping out the Kingdom of God. I choose to get up on Sundays and drive to church. I choose to go to choir rehearsal on a Friday night instead of who knows what. If he isn't in church, then he won't understand. And we will not work.

I'm hungry now... But I will add to this list later....
