MANnequin

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on m u t e
How will I know the right way to love you
Usually the Queen of figurin out
Breaking down a man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you
I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood, hopin there's a real boy inside
But you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything
But with you there is no guarantee
Only e x p i r e d w a r r a n t y
A bunch of b r o k e n parts
And I can't seem to find your heart
I'm such a foolI'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again
Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man
If the past is the problem
Our future can solve them baby
I could bring you life if you let me inside baby
This will hurt but in the end
You'll be a man
Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man

How I Feel About MEN Right Now

The title of this post is actually QUITE inaccurate being that at this point in my life, I'm wondering if, aside from my daddy, brother, and grandfather, I've ever met a MAN before. So Serious. I question whether or not they actually exist anymore. And if they do, I know for a FACT that men are an endangered species. However, BOYS are in a definite surplus. But ladies, we must BEWARE because these BOYS tend to come in the package of a MAN. They might dress fly, have money, look good...but deep inside, they play video games...well actually they just play GAMES in general, listen to what their boys say, and believe in having chicks on the side because it makes them look "cool". Being that I live in ATL (!404! bitchessss...), I meet A LOT of BOYS. And when I say a lot, I mean like 9 out of 9. The 10th one that might be worth a damn is a rare bonus. I feel like in recent years, the substandard behavior of men has become widely accepted by women and we are paying for it now. I'm a good woman and deserve a good man. Not saying I haven't met him and he's not in my life right now..I'm just speaking in general terms. As women, we sometimes accept the unacceptable and forgive the unforgiveable. We blame ourselves for things that are out of our control or not our fault. We make excuses for boys who are just going to do the same thing again next week if not tomorrow. In general, I'd rather be alone and happy then deal with some of the bullshit that guys are dealing out these days. I've made a list of 10 things GROWN ASS MEN DO or DON'T DO. ENJOY!
10 Things GROWN ASS MOTHER FUCKING MEN DO or DON'T DO:
(in no particular order)
1. You don't share a car with your homie, your brother, or your cousin. I shouldn't have to wait for your brother to return from one of his junt's houses to go to the movies.
2. You don't require approval or opinions from your homies, brother/s, cousins, MAMA, etc. I'm not dating them, I'm dating you. WTF?!?! You want me to fuck them too?? Then they can give you some REAL feedback.
3. You do let by-gones be by-gones. No one is perfect. Mistakes will be made. Let it go. Don't bring it up everytime some shit goes down. And if you can't let it go, then BE GONE.
4. You don't turn a situation or argument around. Don't flip the script. If you've done wrong, be wrong, admit it, and we will deal with it. Don't turn some shit on me so that now YOU are the mad one. That's some bullshit.
5. You do keep OUR business to YOURSELF. What we do or don't do is OUR business. Why would you tell your peoples?
6. You don't tell your girlfriend bad things about your ex and then throw her in the current girl's face once you breakup. If you tell me how WACK a chick is, don't try to brag once ya'll get back together ONLY bc we broke up! Wtf?!?! LMBAO!!!! If you tell me how crazy this bitch is and how bad the sex is/was, I'm only going to laugh at you when you get back together with the bitch. Because I know you're with a crazy broad and your sex life suckssssss.
Note: this rule is ESPECIALLY important when the ex in question is UGLY in the first place!!!!
7. You don't constantly talk about money, even if you got it. If you have a nice condo with a descent view (thats now obstructed btw) don't tell say some dumb shit like "I paid a lot for this view"....ask me if I care! Don't tell me how much your shoes cost...or who you know and how you know them. When you have money, people can tell...no need to flaunt...because when you flaunt you make me think you haven't had it for too long and you're suuuuper excited about it! LMAO! Or you have something to prove or even worse: something to make up for!
8. You do speak if you see an ex out in public. Especially if you broke up on some bullshit type stuff. Say hello. It won't kill you. It actually makes you look mad mature. Because if you walk by attempting to act like you don't see her, you look stupid. Bitch, you know you saw me! LOL!
9. You do buy her things just because! ((flowers not included...I don't like flowers)). Buy me a pair of shoes you thought I'd like just because it's Friday. Take me out to dinner just because the sex was good yesterday. If you go out of town and you're shopping and you see something that makes you think "Damn, Mo would love this!"....motherfucker, cop that shit!
10. You do realize that your relationship is a priority and comes before MOST things. Life was different before this girl entered your life. Things are bound to change and MUST change. Let them. If you're not putting your relationship @ the top of your list, then you're not putting 100& into it...and when you're putting less than 100% into it, it's bound to fail. If your boys wanna go to the club or play video games but your girl wants to go to dinner or bowling, ditch your boys. There will be other times. Pick and choose your battles.

Givin him that famous "Boy if you dont say sorry" look mama's give us. Regardless of the motivation, I'm not buyin it and I still think he's stupid. Womp Womp Womp Soulja Boy!

Weezy...What's REALLY Good??

Sooo Weezy F Baby has a new single..."Hot Revolver"...umm yeaa about that! I love Lil Wayne. So serious. Like, we could have been lovers in a previous life. However, this new single has really thrown me for a LOOP. One half of me hates it with a passion and wonders what goodie he was on when he laid this down...the other half of me is wondering if maybe I'm just missing something. I don't know. But this track is definitely not hittin me in a way that makes me rush home and put it on my iPod. If you haven't heard it, check it out and let me know what YOU think! Better luck next time, Weezy.

PhD in HiM

If I counted up all the hours
I'd studied
read
focused on
fucked
sucked
cried over
cried over
gotten up and been resilient about
not given up on
believed in
hated
love
believed in
so believed in
ignored my friends advice about
drank over
been sick over
worked out over
collapsed over
smiled over
laughed with
ended things with
began things with
talked about
talked about
did I mention talked about?

I'd have a PhD in him.

By now, I could have had a PhD
in Philosophy,
Internal Medicine,
Middle Eastern Studies,
Stem Cell Research.
But no,

I have a PhD in Him.

Funny how he brings me no income,
no pension,
no future,
no future,
did I mention no future?

No awards ceremonies,
no diplomas in frames,
no sabbatical,
no maternity leave,
no maternity leave,
did I mention no maternity leave?

Funny how he brings me no roth IRA funds,
no medical plan including dental,
no cap with a tassel to hooray in the air,
no well earned celebration,
no sense of security,
no sense of security.

Funny how he became my career,
yes, he became my career,
my daily ambition,
my homework,
my goals,
my to-do list today reads:
him, him, him, him, him.

And so don't ask me what I did this year
I didn't write any plays or books
I didn't so some responsible shit like pursue a back-up career.

I was fully employed in the furry of him
the fury,
the passion,
clocking in 80 hour weeks
while he lounged on false disability
wish I'd hired a scout to bust his scheeming ass,
but see I was too busy working on my degree,

a PhD in HiM.

Graduated valedictorian at the tippy top of my class
magna cum fucking laude
and a waste of fucking time.

hours upon hours
spent figuring out his equations
riddles
word problems
crossword puzzles
treatments
cracking his codes
philosophising his constitution
over Moet,
wine,
vodka,
vodka,
oh did I mention vodka?

By now I could've been a brain surgeon,
a novelist,
a Pulitzer Prize winner,
my published books overflowing my fireplace crackling den,
I could have fed undernourished children,
fought terrorism,
volunteered at soup kitchens,
FUCK THAT!
BUILT SOUP KITCHENS!
Had a beautiful baby that's now ripe for walking,
But instead,

I have a PhD in HiM.

Wasted hours in the library of man.
My ambition like an inverse fraction became
HiM OVER me
like the goddamn Do Fund I was
ready, willing, and able
sweeping garbage
wearing my incarcerated slogan with pride
because I was earning my double-major in
his BuLLSHiT
with a minor in
my settling for less

Quiz me,
I know him better than he knows himself
I'm that matriculated doctrate hoe
paid full tuituon at It's All About HiM University.
Ladies, have you visited?

See they pat you down at the gate for self-esteem
and your core syllabus is a well-crafted list of cockamamy lies,
study groups with the girls is in the dungeon dorms
with a clear view of your man relaxing under a shady oak.

STUDY HARD, BITCHES!
You got a paper due Monday morning
titled "My Man Wants To Be Treated Like a Man, But Won't Act Like One."
who's hiring?
any other fools wanna sit in my lecture hall?
hands please!

See now, I'm licensed to teach and preach
sparing my pride
in hopes some other women might ready my dissertation.

See, I have a PhD in HiM,
and my transcript is rolling off my wicked tongue.

I was a diligent student
and brought apples to teachers
sharpened pencils to every class.

Not sure of how my most difficult degree might serve me
but think one day I'll thank him
for reminding me how
FIERCE a PUPiL of LiFE
I really AM.

this TYPE LOVE

I want a love like me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you TYPE LOVE or me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to myself about how I feel about you TYPE LOVE or hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself TYPE LOVE. Or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name.

And shit-

I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it out of my garage.
See, I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love TYPE LOVE or who loves the other more or what she's doing at this exact moment or slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts.
Closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good could just hurt so much when she's not there and shit, I love not knowing where this love is headed TYPE LOVE.

And check this-

I wanna place those little post-it notes all around the house so she never forgets how much I love her TYPE LOVE,Then not have enough ink in my pen to write all the love TYPE LOVE and hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel.And I wanna deal with my friends making fun of me the way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love TYPE LOVE.

The only difference is this is one of those real love TYPE LOVES.

And just like in high school I wanna spend hours on the phone not saying shit and then fall asleep and then wake up with her right next to me and smell her all up in my covers TYPE LOVE.
And I wanna try counting the ways I love her then lose count in the middle just so I could start all over again.

And I wanna celebrate one of those one-month anniversaries even though they ain't really anniversaries but doing it just 'cause it makes her happy TYPE LOVE.

And check this-

I wanna fall in love with the melody the phone plays when our numbers dial in TYPE LOVE and talk to you until I lose my breath, she leaves me breathless, but with the expanding of my lungs I inhale all of her back into me.

I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan to something that allows me to talk to her longer 'cause in all honesty, I want to avoid one of them high cell phone bill TYPE LOVES. And I don't want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are. I mean the lines on my palms don't give me enough time to love you as long as I'd like to TYPE LOVE. And I want a love that makes me st-st-st-stutter just thinking about how strong this love is TYPE LOVE and I want a love that makes me want to cut off all my hair. Well maybe not all of the hair, maybe like I'd cut the split ends and trim my mustache but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.

I kind of feel comfortable now so I even be fantasize about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some third world country just to get treated and somehow meet up again with you so I could fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same TYPE LOVE.

I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is.

Have You Ever Made Love To A WEERDO???

If you have EVER slept with ME then the answer the question in the title of this post would be YES!!!! ((big ups to Hollyweerd--my boys!!!-- for the title check them out HERE!!!! )) But back to the topic @ hand...I'm a complete weirdo! So serious. Nothing about me makes any sense. Why anyone likes me, I do not know...but on the other hand I'm so fabulous I don't know why anyone would hate me either. Yup! I think years of constantly being the shit, have finally started to take a tole on my mental and emotional state. I mean, do you even know how it feel to wake up to be the shit AND the urine?!?!? <--thanks Yeezy. Anyhoo, here is a SHORT, but ACCURATE list of the reasons I'm weird...
enjoy....
-i hate fish, but love sushi.
-don't really eat chicken, but cook it for boys.
-i hate the task/chore of applying makeup, but i am fucking bomb at doing it and have a hard time walking out of the house after 5 pm without it. (12 pm if it's a pretty day outside).
-i loooove being loved, but go to drastic measures to push guys away when i feel they actually like me.
-last time i checked, i have been a female since day 1, but i cannot stand females. i think they are probably the most disgusting, petty, wasteful species on earth.
-i love a man that wears a good cologne, but don't like sleeping next to a man wearing any.
-i can't stand when people do not keep their shoe boxes.
-i'm a libra. i constantly wonder what like would be like as another sign. would things be different?
-i can't stand my ex high school/college boyfriend, but i would fuck ANYONE up for him. so serious.
-i have long hair, but i am hell bent on wearing weaves for the dramatic effect...plus it gives me SOMETHING to relate to my african-american female "counterparts" to.
-i love a guy that can rock a cap, but i don't like when they wear them when it's just us...only in social situations.
-i've always been strangely freaked out by twins and redheads. i don't think anything is natural about either.
-i'm on a mission to create some way for condoms to have a better odor/taste, without you having to be a freak/pervert and buy the "flavored" condoms. so wack.
-i love sex toys, have a grand collection of them....NEVER use them. no one is worth the extra effort.
-i strongly dislike fat people, but kinda wanna see what it's like to date or screw a chubby guy.
-i become strangely intolerable of guys once i realize how sexually unexperienced they are. when a guy says "oh i've never done that before" or "wow, that was cool"...i get pissed. like wanna roll over, go to sleep, and leave as soon as i wake up pissed.
-i hate girls with tattoos, but i have 5 and counting.
-i believe girls should always wear a stiletto, but i have a pretty nice sneaker collection.
-i like to call myself a mindfull person of money, but i will drop a grip and a half on a nice pair of shades, tattoos, shoes, and miscelleaneous gifts for my man (when i have one).
-i've always been a believer that a girl should never date a dude younger than herself, yet the ONE younger guy i dated has been my fave.
-i've always had athlete boyfriends, but my fave was NOT an athlete...and that fact always annoyed me.

ok i'm done...
i'm weird...
whatever.

FORGiVENESS.....

So with the year 2008 coming to a rapid and much needed end, I think it's the perfect time for everyone to do a little reflecting on this past year. I am a true believer that one of the core values in life is FORGiVENESS. Being that I am a Libra, this is something I struggle with EVERYDAY. Seriously, I can hold a grudge so long it makes NO SENSE. When you can no longer remember why you are angry with someone, it's a problem. But, so often we are so hurt by a person that we remain angry or bitter. Sometimes it is because our pride is hurt, our feelings are hurt...and sometimes it's just because we are fucking fed up or annoyed. But at the end of the day, you have to keep in mind that at some point in time, you liked that person...you cared about that person...you may have even loved that person. When you go from spending everyday with someone or talking to someone everyday to all of a sudden never speaking to them, it leaves an empty place for all parties involved. But you being the stubborn and "angry" one, probably don't even know it. The funny thing is that 9 times out of 10, someone has done something wayyyy more fucked up to you in the past and you have forgiven them, but because it was THIS person or because it was THIS week, it was more than you could or would take and you decided to throw dueces. And you probably think it is or was your right to do so. I mean, HEY!, you have other friends...other girls...other boys...just people and things OTHER THAN THEM. But keep this in mind...there was a point in time when that person made you smile...a text or call from them made a bad day seem a little bit more bearable...the two of you laughed at stupid things...and other people wished they could be as fly&&flashy as the two of you. And realize that this same person probably misses you more than they could ever put into words...so they will soon stop trying to. And they are sorry for everything ever did or didn't do. This person showed weakness in that moment in which they made you upset, but the sad thing is NOW you are showing your own weakness in your lack of forgiveness and understanding. We all make mistakes. Reverse the situation and ask yourself if you think that the person you're mad at would have forgiven you if the shoe had been on the other foot. Chances are, they probably would have. Chances are you've probably done things that have hurt or angered them...and they've already forgiven you...if they haven't, they will. Life is way too short to spend it being bitter. Or to spend your days trying to forget someone who might change your life if you let them. You never know someone's place or purpose in your life. So don't try to play God. Let HIM decide who is supposed to stay around and who is not. Like I said, we all make mistakes...and you never know what was going on in that person's life or head on the day they "pissed you off". Give people the benefit of the doubt...because you never know people's true intentions. And always remember there was a day when you needed or wanted someone to forgive you...and there will be more of those days to come.
Trust Me.
Believe Me.
Call if you need Me.
But most of all, FORGIVE ME.

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies."

"We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends."
--Sir Francis Bacon

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong."

The Real (FAKE) Housewives of Atlanta DRAMA!!!

Now, I was watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta every Tuesday, just like the black female population...BUT since the end of the season, numerous rumors and reports have circulated concerning the REAL LIFE financial status' of some of the cast.

Well, last night, Atlanta's Fox 5 I-Team did an investigation into NeNe Leakes and her husband Greg Leakes. Not so ballin afterall......check out the video above.
