Black Fridee(Friday)

 Wow so today is the day after Thankstaken(Thanksgiving Day) b.k.a the infamous Black Friday

   I had made up my mind along time ago, that I would not participate in the chaos of this day lol. For one I am too broke to even be standing in someone's line looking for a sale! Secondly, I think its ridiculous how people push & shove and fight over tv's, dvds, cds, my size barbies(do they still sell those anymore? lol). I watched the news last year around this time and it said that ppl had died from participating in the Black Friday sales; thats too crazy, to me its never that serious

Fall Quarter 2009: My views thus far

    So I've been in school for about 3 or 4 weeks and I realize that I can not tolerate the Fall Quarter( I mean I have to but you know how I do lol). Its like a gift and a curse because it gives me the chance to start over and do my best, but on the other hand, I realize that the Fall Quarter Has been my worst quarter for the past 3yrs. I'm trying to raise my G.P.A(Yall I'm in good academic standing and I've come a really long way) but this damn GREEK 001(Intro. to Ancient and Biblical Greek) is kicking my ass lol. Its my fault because I have not put forth 100% of my energy, effort and time. As a matter a fact I'm going to do my Greek Homework after I post this lol. I feel like I can graduate in four years, even with the two majors(and a possible minor, Hey what can I say, I'm very ambitious) but for now I'm banking on a 5th year.


As far as my social life goes, I feel like I no longer desire to party because everytime I go out, I always want to go home. I haven't been to a great party in years. I just dont know anymore.

Color Me White???






















Okay so I'm borrowsing through the pictures on Essence magazine's website (www.essence.com) and I'm noticing how Little Miss Unda My Umbrella a.k.a Rhianna's skin is damn near white! It's funny because she was much darker when she first arrived on the pop/R&B scene. Beyonce, along with Lil KIM(OH GOD plz help her) have both, as their recent photos indicate, undergone some facial transformations! I realize that B has been light skin for most of her career but she is almost white, WTH is the world coming to. White womyn want to BLACK, or they @least want our features but not the struggle, and BLACK CELEBRITIES Are beginning to seek white physical features and I'm sure they want that good old "WHITE PRIVILEDGE"...I think the Industry is promoting some kind of Color Complex but I'll let yall be the judge.

HomoSexuality, Gender Stratification, and Homophobia

People fear whatever it is that they do not OVERstand!


I used to be homophobic when I was a young girl, but now I am arriving to a point in which I am OVERstanding or grasping HOMOSEXUALITY, GENDER BENDER, TRANS-GENDER, and QUEER PEOPLE! I am no longer afraid of members of the LGBTIQ community. I am very comfortable with being around because I am sure about my sexual preference and I am sure about my sexuality. I no longer feel the need to say "NO HOMO" AFTER EVERY SENTENCE, which actually in my opinion, subconsciously tells others that you are HOMO or you're not sure if you are or not! I voted NO on Prop. 8 during the November 2008 elections and I have no shame in it and I support the happiness for all of humanity.


Hate crimes or discrimination against members of the LGBTIQ community are happening everyday and I believe that the people who commit these crimes are actually homosexuals deep down inside. If you think about it, most of the time a male commits a hate crime against another gay male, he almost Always uses sexual abuse or rape as a means to express his hatred. So I question the predator, Is he or she truly a HomoSexual or maybe even a Homosexualphile(Love of Homo's) and is this person attacking others because they are mad that they feel as if they can not be open and honest about their sexuality? I believe that if you hate a person, you really love them because you love them and what they do so much that you start to hate them or hate on them becuz they are doing whatever it is that you want to do, but can't!


As for now I would like to leave you all with this, If we begin to ATLEAST TRY to OVERSTAND the things in which we don't understand, then we will be less afraid of each other. Also i WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU SHOULD NOT JUDGE A PERSON BASED ON HIS OR HERS SEXUALITY, LIFESTYLE, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT PERSON HAS TO OFFER YOU OR WHAT YOU CAN OFFER THEM, SO PLZ DON'T MISS OUT 0N YOUR BLESSINGS JUST BECUZ A PERSON IS GAY, LESBIAN, BI-SEXUAL OR TRANSEXUAL OR TRANSGENDER!

Who's the real Terrorist?




So like everybody is wrapped up in this whole alleged Iraqi & Afhaghani terrorism bullshit in which G. Bush fed us like after 9/11 happened. I get tired of the racially/social implications that are associated with people of Middle Eastern descent and sometimes even SouthEast Asian(India) descent. I definitely will not deny that some of the actions of religious extremist and anti-american sentiments are acts of terrorism. However, I think we have it confused as to who our true enemy is!
Our enemies rest right in our own backyards and sometimes even in our front yards. I'm sure you're wondering who or what it is that im a refering to, and don't worry I shall bring this person, thing, or group to the forefront in just a second. But I must say that this mystery group/person terrorizes people on a regular basis. Though some may be exempt from the constant terrorism, others like myself are born as targets, even if we have the $$$s to save ourselves! These terrorist in which I speak of are the PIGS and those who work to ensure the full affect of racism on a daily basis!

sidenote: Here when I use the term racism, I am using Ruth Wilson-Gilmore's definition of racism which states that "Racism is the state-sanctioned and/or extra-legal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerabilities to premature death..."-Ruth Wilson Gilmore


When I speak of PIGS I refer to all PIGS, BECAUSE LIKE I WAS ONCE TOLD, A PIG IS A PIG, NO MATTER WHAT, regardless if the PIG is pink, clear, black, yellow, orange, red, and so on. There are some good PIGS out there, but most PIGS will obey their masters inorder to remain in good standing with him and also to reserve and ensure he gets the best of the scraps! And the PIG is taught to protect and serve his or hers master, the master's family & friends, and those who are of the same or similar social status as their master!(so basically if you aint in the master's house or his circle then you aint gone be proctected nor served by the damn PIGS!!!! AND ALSO, as some say "IF YOU'RE NOT FOR ME THEN YOUR AGAINST ME", SO THOSE OF US WHO aint in the Masters circle must be against him and we ultimately pose a threat to the order of the master and his circle!!!! POnder on that)


Think about how insane a farmer will become if you injure or even kill one of his pigs! He will go crazy and try to kill yo ass! lol but if you think about it, thats the same way the authorities react when one of their PIGS is slain by the "others". They will throw yo ass in jail, beat the sh*t out of you, and throw away the damn key! There is a huge penalty for slaying one of the Masters PIGS.

But if one of the Master's PIG(S) were to attack, injure or kill you then he would be sent home with pay or he would be acquitted of all charges and in private he would get a pat on his back for doing a good job or terrorizing the "others". Why do you think that PIGS are so thristy to get those quotas at the beginning and end of the month, they get rewarded by their Masters for keeping "the others" in check. POLICING is all about control, power, and dominion over another human life.

PIG/POLICE TERRORISM INCLUDES BUT IS DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO:
*Racial Profiling
*Shooting/Killing innocent civilians(hhhhmmmmm does this not sound all to familiar from a certain countries army? idk you tell me...*cough* the war in Iraq! oh did i say that, ooops im sorry)
*COINTELPRO
*Tapping phone lines, do to the masters suspicion
*Extortion
*Beating alleged suspects of "CRIMES"



This only Part I, and I may get arrested for discussing such topic but I thought I had the freedom of speech, I am discussing in a peaceful manner,my words do not intend to incite a riot but if your boils due to my words then I suggest you open up your eyes and realize and I will not apologize for your heart ache!

The Vagona Monologues Pt. II


The Vagina Monologues is a play created by Eve Ensler, who conducted interviews with women in the 90's. She asked them questions about their Vaginas and she essentially transformed their answers into what is now called "The Vagina Monologues". Each piece is very unique in it's own rite and some piece may cause you a great deal of laughter, tears, or even happiness. I feel delighted to have been apart of such a great cause and I hope people received a message from the piece in which I performed. I want to fight the violence that occurs against womyn in all parts of the world and hopefully I can go on missions to encourage these womyn to cling to hope even in situations where it seems like one's life is completely helpless and uncontrolable. I want to see womyn become survivors instead of victims!
The Vagina Monologues can be offensive to some and it can be inspiring to others. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE OFFENDED OVER BECAUSE WE ARE JUST RETELLING A REALITY FOR OTHER WOMYN. THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT THE STRUGGLES OF WOMYN AND THE NEED TO KNOW THAT IF THE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT, TURN THE BLIND EYE, OR ENGAGE IN FEMALE GENOCIDE, THEN THE ENTIRE FACE OF HUMANITY SHALL FEEL THE DRASTIC EFFECTS OF SUCH TERRORISM. WOMYN ARE AT CENTER OF HUMAN LIFE AND THE VAGINA IS THE HEART OF HUMANITY, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE HEART STOPS, SO YOU DO THE MATH OR COMPREHEND MY LANGUAGE!

I pray that you'll join in on the fight against Womyn globally! Yall be good, safe and LOVE LAUGH, AND LIVE LIFE!
