a small recap from the last month
I have not posted in a month: I have been keeping some notes.
Blog for January 29, 2005
Today I went to see the movie Something New with Sanaa Lathan and Blair Underwood. The story in a nutshell is how a sista says she can’t find a good brother and ends up going out with a white man. Now mind you a sister had to help write this story because it was accurate in portraying how black women have a check list of 1,000,000 things before they will go out with a black man. Nice hair, smooth skin, nice car, right school, etc. It expresses how black women have all these hang ups and are uptight and that a brother ain’t got a chance in hell to make them happy. Now here comes the Knight in shining armor. He does not have to have 999,999 things thing that is on the sister list and he gets a date and the drawers. Now mind you I went with a sister to see this movie and she got upset when I pointed out that the women of color in the film are just like her and her friends UPTIGHT. They are all over 30 some 40 and still looking for Mr. Perfect. Mind you they are all crying about how they are sick and tired of sitting at home alone, and US brothers kicking it with white girls. The discussion continued with her agreeing that yes they are uptight but they are nothing wrong with having standards. I continued to point out that every one has standard but they also have to be realistic. I also shared with her that I have seen more women settle for less than, all the while turning down the “Good” Brother just because he may not be a 9 or 10 in the looks department. The movie was good in the fact that it created a dialog for us to talk again about the state of Black love.
My review of the movie is only 2 out of 4.
My Blog for February 22, 2006,
I have had a lot going on in the last month and have not had a lot of time to put me out on the web. I will try to make things short and sweet because I hate long blogs. First and foremost I had to go California for a big meeting. Meetings are as meeting go but the most tripped out thing that happen is that a punk N***A from ATL, tried to hit on me. I mean a brother on the DL. Now anyone who knows me knows I don’t play that. Not only was I offend that he actually stepped to me like that but he had the nerve to ask a female friend of mine if she could hook him up with some of her female friends. It was a blessing for him that we were at a work function or I would have beaten the shit out of his punk ass. This is the reason that AIDS is killing in our community.
Blog part II
I missed all of Super bowl week here in Detroit. I was in California and the Weather was lovely. I missed the parties and everything that went along with it. The plus side is that the weather was 70 degrees plus and I got to hang out by the pool and relax, In between the meeting and the drinks after the meeting.
Blog part III
I meet a secondary virgin. First and foremost this woman is fine as hell but she told me that she is now a secondary virgin. What the hell is that? After she done gave it away to more than one person for free or dinner and a movie. The next brother has to buy the whole cow, without getting a glass of milk. Ain’t that a bleep? I’ am serious thinking about pushing the limit and seeing how fast it will take me to it but I’m too old to waste my MONEY and energy on a hope and a prayer. They are too many women who will give it away for something less than marriage.
I want to thank all of you for being so patient during this month of crazy ups and downs.
