"Man, you wore THAT to work today? That is soooo gay!" "That is so GAY for you to say that!" "That is the GAYEST procedure I've ever heard!" "There was a plane crass the other day that killed 100 people. Wow, that was so GAY." "Buff dudes are so GAY for all of those muscles."
If you are bothered by statements such as these then you and I see eye to eye. If you see nothing wrong and isn't bothered by them at all then YOU, my friend, is GAY! You didn't like me saying that did you? So, are you GAY? GAY is not a replacement word for things that are unfortunate, silly, dumb, stupid, bad or any other negative adjective. How would you feel if someone used your race, name or sexual orientation as a negative connotation? Instead of saying something is so stupid, try using the word ASIAN. Let's not say something is so dumb, but try saying, "That is sooooo HETERO that it ain't funny." Don't say something is so silly anymore but say that it's so 'HISPANIC'! The earthquake in Haiti is not 'unfortunate' but rather (insert YOUR name here) instead. Replace the word 'ignorant' with the word 'black' or 'negro'...angry aren't we?
Derogatory words or statements like these, in my opinion, are used by a hateful or bigoted person or is used out of lack of better vocabulary. If you don't know how to describe something horrible, just use the word GAY instead.....NOT! Try reading a dictionary or utilizing a freaking thesaurus for crying out loud! Expand your damn mind AND your vocabulary. Not only are you politically incorrect but semantically AND morally incorrect. How dare you use one's sexual orientation as a negative remark. Hell, the word was originally derived to describe HAPPY anyway. If you are going to use the word at least have the decency to use it for lively, delightful, gleeful and jovial things you moron!
I'm done venting now but you go and have a very GAY day ya hear:-)

Whatever it takes......
Enlightened...somewhat.
Sometimes one has to do what it takes, whatever it takes, whenever deemed neccessary to get what we want and deserve. When we allow someone or something to control our lives to the point where it can run or ruin our lives then we are dead to ourselves. We can allow such things to block our blessings, our chance at love, life or the pursuit of happiness. Who are we to blame but ourselves? Some things deserve explanations and some things need no introduction. Its up to us to differentiate. What do we do in this case? We ask questions perhaps? We see all three sides of the story? What about giving benefit of the doubt? And some things you just have to let go cuz it ain't worth the fight. Whether you think its worth the fight and the other person doesn't or vice versa then guess what? It aint worth the fight unless both peeps think its worth it cuz you can't fight by your-damn-self...you'd be a fool to think so. If they don't think its worth the fight or hassle then so be it cuz later on down the line you will figure out that you may have lost to begin with. Do what it takes to succeed, say what it takes to sell and run what it takes to win. Feel what it takes to love and love what it takes to live for its love and passion that really makes the world go 'round yall.

Can I walk on water now?
Ok so I decided to take a much needed trip to the spa this weekend. I treated myself to a lil reflexology just to get my feet played with a lil. Hey I don't have a boo so it was the only thing I could think of....DON'T JUDGE ME! LOL Anyway, whilst waiting in the waiting area for my feet to be played with all while relieving stress, I stumbled upon one of the sevices the VIDA ORGANIC SPA offered. One of those services was the Ionic Foot Bath. Hhmmmm....I've heard of this before, read about it it's benefits but never got the chance to participate in the foot bathing festivities so I figured why not. Stacey was with me and we surprisingly had nothing to do so I treated us both to one. Yeah, I love my friend even though she's trying to divorce me!
The benefits of the Ionic Foot Cleanse/Bath are supposed to be as follows (I say supposedly b/c there are many speculations as to the benefits of the thingy but I'll let you know later if it works or not):
- ionic foot baths stimulate and rebalance the whole bioenergetic field,
- clear up energetic blockages / unblock the energy flow in the meridians
- facilitate capillary micro-circulation in the organs (including the detoxifying organs)
- improve lymphatic circulation and boost immune functions, thus increase the body's ability to fight infections, inflammations and cancer
- enhance the functioning of the detoxifying organs such as the liver, kidneys, colon, skin and lungs
- enhance the body's ability to protect itself from electromagnetic field radiation
- have a general stimulating effect on the whole organism increasing the overall sense of well-being
- ion foot baths improve sleep and memory functions
- decrease recovery time after injuries, surgeries and diseases
- help repairing the tissues, especially the connective tissues; increase flexibility
- enhance nutrient absorption
- help to relieve headaches, arthritis and joint pain
In otha words, this shindig is supposed to detox your body.....THRU THE FEET! Huh? What?
Now, the colors in the water is supposed to represent the part of the body being detoxed or problematic for you. I thought...yeah right. So being that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, according to this color wheel my ionic water should turn orange. Hmmm....(tapping finely manicured hands on chin). This is betta work or I will cut up!
The Color Wheel is as follows:
Black liver and gallbladder
Black Flecks heavy metals
Blue kidney
Brown liver, tobacco, cellular debris
Green gallbladder
Orange joints
Red Flecks cellular debris, blood clot material
Yellow bladder, urinary tract, female/prostate area
Cheesy candidas (yeast infection), fungal infections
Foam mucus
Oil Floating fat
Low & behold my damn water turned Yellow then Orange & Brown with Red Flecks! Holy Guacamole this shit may just be the truth. I've had bladder surgery, I have RA and my blood clotting is def not up to par. My water got so crumy it was growing moss on the side of the foot bath thingy-ma-jig! OH No! I'm all corrupted on the inside. GOTDAMN GRIDDLE CAFE has got it in for me! I'ont care!
The funny thing is, Stacey's water never turned colors at all and that trollop is dirtier than I am! What gives? They tried it twice and still nothing. Hmmm...so what does that mean? (tapping manicured hands AND toxic feet)So now Stacey has to walk around mad with dirty feet and a toxic body. Now did yall see that if oil is floating that you're...ahhemm..overweight right? Ok Just checkin'....
Yall should try it out and bring me back a full report whilst I research a lil mo'. Now that my feet has been cleansed of all inequities, may I attempt to walk on water?

Praying 4 Peace is like Fucking 4 Virginity...
Today whilst roaming thru my queendom I stumbled upon a statement someone made. That statement was "I'm a simple man.... I just want a drama free year." I, in turn, responded with, "But how would U appreciate simplicity w/o drama? U can't appreciate the sun if it didn't rain." He then begins to explain that it's all controllable. He is convinced that you can control all of the drama in your life by eliminating or discounting people that are "dramatic". He says, "...negative people everywhere but you can control them entering your "life". You can control it all... If u focus...just remove negative humans out your life.. ". Though I agree partially, I disagree more. Yes, upon an inital meeting of a person you can sense if they are about drama and choose to exclude them from your life never to be entertained by them again but what about the people that's already in your life? Do you exclude them too? If mama or daddy is having a dramatic episode do you exclude them from your life forever or do you bounce until the coast is clear? I say bounce until the coast is clear. The longer you entertain drama, it will stick around like the mole on Cindy Crawford's face. It's how you handle drama that's important. You can choose to entertain it or you can choose learn from it and move on and trust me, there is education in negativity. It's like you can choose to have a good day or you can choose to have a bad one. You don't however, eliminate everyone from your life. That's a lonely life to live. And how do you exactly live w/o drama? You can't! That's like trying to control the rain or tax. They both are inevitable! And who's to say that drama is brought on by people IN your life? Drama can be brought on by a total stranger coming out of the blue and like....totaling your car or stealing your identity. Did you invite those people N2 your life? No but they brought you the drama of gaining the headaches obtaining a new vehicle. You have issues with the insurance company, the rental company, maybe the bus driver if you decide to take public transportation. Then there's the $250 to $500 deductable that you may not have in the bank. The list goes on and on. Let's not mention the headaches of a stolen identity and trust me, I've been there and it's no walk in the park. You basically have to prove that you are who you say you are and we all know that's not an easy task. Drama, like rain, taxes & death, will always be around. There are things that will always be inevitable no matter how positive you try to be or think. It's life! That's why I find it very amusing and quite funny actually when one gets frustrated when they can't live a perfect life. Are you serious? Praying for peace is like fucking for virginity...IMPOSSIBLE!
My second and most important point is this....how can one appreciate the sunshine w/o a lil rain? This too, my friend, is impossible. Walk around the house blindfolded for a couple of hours & see how much you appreciate sight. Lock yourself in the house for 2 days w/o a loved one, tv, radio, Facebook, the internet or people and see how much you miss companionship. You can't appreciate the person you are if there were never any disparaging moments. Some people usually don't appreciate their jobs until they don't have one. The old saying goes "You never miss your water until your well runs dry."
Let me know your thoughts. I appreciate what you have to say.
May your next 364 days equal 2 a great new year for you.
Namaste'

U say Resolute, I say Absolut...
Ok so it's that time of year again when people start to spew out their "New Year's Resolutions"....oh joy (insert sarcasm). Why do people torture themselves and waste their time every single December conjuring up ways to 'resolve' their lives? I mean really....
Why not resolve, evolve & get involved all year? That's too much like right huh? STOP lying to yourselves! Every year we claim to ditch old friends & gain new friends only to look around to find we have the same friends we started with from jump. Yeah, that's five minutes of brain cells lost. Then we claim to be on a mission to "drop the poundage" & eat more healthy only to overcrowd the gym the first 3 weeks in January & develop road rage @ the drive-thru at McDonald's by March. And then we try to hide at that same drive-thru with hats and sunglasses in tow in fear that someone will see us NOT keeping our New Year's Resolution.
Some of us even attempt to resolve our dissolved relationships with our loved ones. Yeah right! Once you've allowed a relationship to DISSOLVE throughout the year how do you get it back? That's like trying to solidify an alka seltzer AFTER you've dropped it in water or in my case ABSOLUT. It's merely impossible. Now I won't be too negative because anything is possible, things change and yada yada yada plus a blah..I know this but does it really take all year for you to figure out that you're in a relationship by your-damn-self? Hell No! Whether it's with a mate, a neighbor or your CHILDREN, value that relationship to the fullest for you may bring in the New Year with that person but one of you may not see your way out of it.
Which brings me to my next unnecessary issue...what the fuck is "It's complicated" as a relationship status?! In the words of my ex (MVSP)...ARE YOU SHITTIN' ME! That right there tells your dumb ass that there needs to be some type of resolution TODAY! Not in January but to-damn-day! You are either in the relationship equally and agreeably or you're not! PERIOD POINT BLANK! I can't believe this is even considered a relationship status. So, you mean to tell me that you wanna be involved in something 'complicated'? You're proud of that? If you do then you deserve every ounce of disharmony you get!
Let's not talk about the ones who 'resolve' to change their attitude @ the jump of the New Year when they are like 45 years old (insert MVSP quote here)! You are now set in your ways you moron! Don't wait until you have damn near one foot in the grave before you decide to be a 'better person'. Who the fuck does that....beside YOU of course? Attitude adjustments take time and maybe a whole lotta money if you go to the right therapist but it can happen WITH TIME not overnight, especially NOT 31st Dec night because your ass will be drunk and lose focus anyway. Please don't THINK and DRIVE. Oh and please don't forget the ones who make a vow to be all "about me" in 2010. Well, who the hell has it been about for the past 365 days? You should ALWAYS be your number one priority! No one is gonna take care of you but YOU. Not your boyfriend, cousin, BFFs, daddy,mama,babymama or baby daddy, pet snake, dog or President OBAMA but YOU! Who can do it better? If someone can take care of me betta then ME then damnit here is my life. Take it and do as you wish with it because I obviously don't need it since I don't know what to do with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah don't sit there and claim you've neglected you only to take care of others (insert Sunshine Anderson's only hit here). That's YOUR fault! I've neglected myself before for the sake of friends, boyfriends, family or complete strangers only to be mad at ME at the end of the day. Nobody told me to neglect me. My body & mind was telling me to take care of it when I was crying myself to sleep or when I was getting 2 emotional about bullshit or getting headaches or when I didn't have a dime in my pocket, a pot to piss in or a window to pour it out of (well it never got to the no pot to piss in part but you get the gist of what I'm saying) but I didn't take heed. I can't blame him, her or them...I blame me. STFU and take a stand for YOU! Some people make this vow knowing full well it's always been about them all along. Stop the madness. You know who you are. You should make a resolution to stop being freaking selfish possibly.
Ok Ok Ok enough with the venting right about now. I just had to get that shit off my breast, I mean chest. Resolve to Evolve now...it takes less time. Til next time yall...*now where's my bottle of ABSOLUT?*

Champagne Taste, Beer Money
Ok this has been brought to my attention again...the question that keeps lingering in my fabulous lil' head for sometime now....what is with people living beyond their freaking means!? That shit is so ridiculous and so...well....PLAYED!
For-freaking-instance, why would you go a purchase a brand new, top of the line BMW convertable knowing full damn well you can't afford it? When I say afford, I don't mean you can pay the car note every month. I mean you don't have to save a few paychecks to afford the repairs on the shit or you don't have to limit your driving to keep from paying for the damn gas and check this.....all while still living witcho Mama! Come on now! And why, oh why, would your car payment be more expensive then your domicile? Your car maybe 80Gs but your refrigerator is filled with Top Ramen....and you don't even LIKE noodles! Can you say champagne taste with beer money? Yeah I'll just betchu' can...

If I Only Had A Brain....
Ya know,
I really hate it when one jumps on the mental bandwagon of others instead of thinking for themselves. Case in point, Tyra "Bankable" Banks made the announcement yesterday (I think) to cancel her show and the world went in an uproar claiming she's biting off the one and only Oprah Winfrey. One person come up with this illogical solution and others followed suit instead of saying...hmmm lemme think about this for a second. Why on earth would TyTy cancel her show just to be like Oprah? What will she gain from doing this? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! She's missing out on some serious loot first of all. I mean who does that just to portray someone else? I know I don't especially considering the fact that we are in a recession! Did it ever occur to anyone that it maybe for contractual reasons that the show is being canceled or maybe the ratings aren't as good as we thought? Maybe another network is picking up the show? They're acting like Tyra owns the network and she actually calls the shots on it's syndication! WRONG! Think for your-damn-selves people! I know it's easier to just jump on the bandwagon since it takes less operation of brain cells but trust me, it's more rewarding to come up with your own thoughts....you can back your own shit up better than someone else's. Damn!
