Black twitter was set ablaze yesterday when the Singer/ Businesswoman Ciara posted a video about women who want to be wives. Her hashtag was #levelup. Almost immediately, the wanna be sociologists and psychologists were suggesting that she was just perpetuating the misgynoir about black women and marriage. Discussions about how preachers are always talking to…

Rants about anything and everything that bother my sensibilities
I don’t like it because so many do
When you watch humanity and are a part of it, you begin to notice the quirks and idiosyncratic behaviors. One that seems to be very prevalent is not liking something because so many do. Now, I am not saying you should have a “hive” mind but I do notice some people want to be contrary…
Decency and respect are their own rewards
I know in this day age especially it’s really hard being a good and decent human. After all, society these days seem to want give accolades to those consider fringes. By that I mean something that is considered outside of society’s norm. These accolades or recognition can be good or bad depending on who and…
I’m sorry (I guess)
Yesterday was a weird day. I go through a myriad of moods and emotions as most humans do but yesterday was a weird day. When you work in customer service, you have to have this facade of being a very happy and amiable person. Problem is with me, I am very sensitive to those around…
Can I even hug people now ??
With all the sexual harassment suits and accusations, men are now somehow put in a quandary of how to behave. Really?? I never knew that following the decent level of social norms was really so hard. I know while I was growing up I was taught please , thank you , may I and shaking…
Romp on good fella
Late evening into this morning I saw this picture on my various timelines about the romper for him. At first I was like alright. If they are fine with a onesie, no big whoop. Hell, growing up in NYC, I have seen worse. But then I remember what time I live in. Here come the…
Share and share alike
In this new day and age, we all are beginning to feel that each of our beliefs and opinions are so important. This no more so than with religious beliefs. I do not have issues in the sense of religious beliefs. What you believe is personal to you and only you. What I do have…
Hey Mr. TJ. WELCOME TO MUSIC MONDAYS
Do what makes you happy and what captures your ear.
Clean up in shoes, women’s, kids or wherever
My background is in retail. I worked retail for most of my life whether in store or corporate. Being in the service industry is thankless. People have no manners or respect these days. “The customer is always right” has haunted the service industry since it was uttered. These days, people assume that means that companies…
The curse of 12 year olds
Just to preface this particular blog, it is not meant for parents of pre-teens. I am not a parent nor would I even be able to offer any advice on the subject. ( back to regular programming) So I wrote a blog in January about layaway dick( yeah I said it). The young lady…
My feelings are not yours
This glorious Thursday, I woke up with not such a heavy heart. I spoke to my mom and my two best friends the night before. I have never in my life heard my mom so happy. She went walking the day before and she has had knees surgery so this is huge for me. I…
Unfuckwithable
This term “unfuckwithable” is supposed to mean that nothing can fuck with you and yours. (Never mind it just continues to screw the English language) . This is basically to tell the world that nothing can affect you which is not and mostly not the case. Human beings like to put up walls and…
