I feels this here. Thanks Jode Jo! If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults are not really important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weakne...

I would like to begin my outpouring of thoughts by saying that I am bored. If the things I say are odd, irregular and outright...well, odd and irregular, then fine. *Ted Kennedy is dead. I had no part of this. He was a cool guy, so I hope enjoys his time in Soul Heaven at the Johnnie Taylor concert. I heard Marvin Gaye was going to sing the Star Spangled Banner to open it up. *I don't like shoes. I'm not even wearing them right now. I think they are overated and frankly I am afraid of them. They are expensive and contrary to what I thought, they are not waterproof. *Certain people's voices annoy me. I'll hear them talking and I make that face like when you smell burnt popcorn or burnt greens. I can't tell them to shut the hell up, so I just tune to WTAM Brain Radio and sing Bootsy Collins songs until they stop talking. After which, I reply "this is true". *My phone is held together by duct tape. I should consider burning it, but I got some text ...

Here's the letter I wrote: To Whom It May Concern: I am a tenant at 6111 at Ridgeway Crossing in Memphis, TN. I find that I should share with you the issues I am dealing with at my home. I have been a resident since February of this year, and in this short time, I have had my home broken into under mysterious circumstances, insect problems and have been without air conditioning twice since then. I wrote to management once before about the break in and the slow, lethargic way that my concerns were handled. After a little cat and mouse (not the fault of Ms. Moran of the Regional Office), I was able to share my problems. However, I find that I am dealing with yet another major problem…I have been without air conditioning since July 26, 2009. I made the service requests through the emergency operator on Monday, July 27th around 11am (because I got no answer in the front office). I called back shortly after and spoke to one of the ladies in the office. I was told someone would be out ...

I've been putting these bad boys in statuses all day, so I thought that maybe I'd share a few more in a note. (Thanks Maria!) Feel free to add a few! #817-Seeing a hairstyle in a book and getting an idea is fine...but be mindful that a Rihanna haircut on an Esther Rolle head ain't right. #71-If you can sing, then sing on. But do not say you're going to be "The Next Prince (Michael Jackson, Al Green, etc.)" #911-If the guy you're talking to is trying to convince you that his "baby's mama" is a bitch, ho, triflin, etc., don't always believe the hype... #318-Not going to college is fine. At least get your High School Diploma/GED. Bragging that high school "wasn't your thing" is not sexy. #100-Tattoos of your current gf/bf name isn't a good idea. #101-Tattoos of your current nickname ain't a good idea either. #877-Don't put "Worked at Pure Passion from 1997-2001" on your resume...unless you're auditi...

Rick James said we need Unity... He also took said Unity ring and went upside Charlie Murphy's head. With that being said, that is the problem I have been facing the last few months. It is expected for me to behave as a lady (or tomboy with good sense...go figure) in the face of a negative situation. I'm supposed to look foolishness in the eye and throw it a peace sign. Yeah, well it ain't that simple. I am supposed to be the upstanding citizen and allow ignorant people to fester off in a corner somewhere. I'm supposed to move right along without hesitation and say "let that ass be an ass", but after a certain amount of time, that grows tiresome! I just want to cut a shine! Lately, I have been faced with countless situations where ignorance has reared it's ugly ass head. Each time, I am encouraged to turn my head. Currently, I'm without air conditioning. At the time of this rant, it has been four days since I made the service request and I have...

hillbilly farmer who wanted to get a divorce paid a visit to a lawyer. The lawyer said, 'How can I help you?' The farmer said, 'I want to get one of them dayvorces.' The lawyer said, 'Do you have any grounds?' The farmer said, 'Yes, I got 40 acres.' The lawyer said, 'No, No, you don't understand, Do you have a suit? The farmer said, 'Yes, I got a suit, I wears it to church on Sundays.' The lawyer said, 'No, no, I mean, do you have a case?' The farmer said, 'No, I ain't got a Case, but I got a John Deere. The lawyer said, 'No, I mean, do you have a grudge?' The farmer said,'Yes, I got a grudge, that's where I parks the John Deere.' The lawyer said, 'Does your wife beat you up or something?' The farmer said, 'No, we both get up at 4:30.' By now the lawyer is getting frustrated but tries one last question .The lawyer said, 'Is your wife a nagger?' The farmer said, 'No, she's...
