For Colored Girls....

I recently went to the movies to see the Tyler Perry rendition of "For Colored Girls" and I must say that I was impressed with the movie. The monologues were deep, emotional and poetic. My only dilemma is that so many young black girls that saw Tyler Perry's name and assumed Madea. They were disappointed in the movie, angry and making statements that they had wasted their money on this "sh*t" as they put it. This movie was something that I thought that a lot of young black girls should see. They can only learn from the movie if they were to go in with an open mind. It upsets me that so many of our young girls are so ignorant, uneducated and not ready to experience different forms of entertainment.

Our young women need our help these days. Our youth is our future, if we do not help guide them in the right direction then who will?

I want people to know and understand that Tyler Perry is NOT the originator of "For Colored Girls". The Author is Ntozake Shange and the complete title is "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf" (the book cover is above).

A lot of the people I follow on Twitter downed the movie before they even saw it because of Tyler Perry's name, especially a lot of my male followers. However those who have seen the movie enjoyed it and understood it.

I only hope that some how we reach our youth. They need us.

Ever Feel Like...

....A let down? No matter what I do, with certain I always feel like a let down. Like I let them down in some kind of way or another.... I can be too much of a people pleaser at times, and sometimes that does more harm then good I usually end up exhausted or hurt trying to make others happy just to feel like a let down all over again... I need to find a way to shake this feeling, it has me in my feelings sometimes and even second guessing myself even when I know that I am right or when I know that I have done no wrong.... How do I move on from this point? How do I toughen up and stand my ground? How do I adjust my personality to be something that my heart is not use to doing? I am not sure yet BUT what I do know is that I have got to do something because I am over this feeling that I have at times... *Shrugs and creates emotional walls*

Opposite Sex Best Friends

Ok so I am going to give my opinion on whether or not men and women can JUST be friends....Here goes nothing It is POSSIBLE, however some of the best and most successful relationships blossom from friendships. When you hang around someone constantly and talk to them constantly you begin to grow feelings for that person.... And that's okay. But in most cases sexual tension between you all will arise... I have a male best friend but the way we got to that point was a LONG road lol we actually started out backwards we tried dated and then realized that we are better as friends.....Now that we got the tension out of the way now we can truly just be friends and now we can talk about everything Alot of the male-female friendships I know there is sexual tension unless one of the parties is homosexual.... Now don't take what I am saying the wrong way. I am in NO way saying that men and women can not be friends with out being intimate. People can control themselves and although the te

One of my favorite rappers is Mr. Loso himself... I have told yall time and time again I listen to music for substance not for the new trend or a banging beat... A banging beat is just a plus when the rhymes are creative, well put together, and full of metaphors.... If you haven't heard anything from Loso you need too his versus are dope.... Now typically I would provide you with some examples but this time I want you to go listen on your own....
