NATURAL HAIR: YO BOYFRIEND DONT LIKE IT??

I ran across this video this morning in my usual 'surfing of the web before I get outta bed' routine. I thought it was actually pretty good. A lot of black woman have decided to go natural as of late.. some more successfully then others (which is a whole OTHER conversation in itself smh) . However, those that are in relationships may or may not have the support of their significant other. People will not always support you, but sometimes making someone aware can change that and give them a better understanding on where you are coming from.

Just My Thought/Feelings

(Disclaimer: I actually wrote this a couple weeks ago on my iPod)

Yesterday while sitting around the dinner table death came up. A church member's mother had died and he was in disbelief and couldn't process what had happened. So I asked my mom how long she'd been in the hospital and she said the lady had probably been there a month. My first thought was "they weren't preparing for that after a month in the hospital?" let me just say death is hard by any means! ANY MEANS.... Whether it's sudden or gradual, it's hard. Hell, I have first hand experience so I know. Two weeks ago something trigger memories of my dad and sent me into tears, shaking, anger and bitterness for a good solid hour. I was an emotional wretch, lone and utterly drained.

Death is hard regardless no matter how someone dies, but as I set there and talked with my family, I told them I was thankful it took ten days for my dad to die. I've been thankful for that fact since the beginning actually. That was the hardest most anxious time of my life... But I'm glad it wasn't a sudden death. If my dad had died that first night...especially in your home... I would have lost my mind. That night was a total out of body, anxious, scary experience for me.... Well all of us actually. But those two crazy weeks was a preparation of sorts. Granted we prayer our hearts out but there comes a point you have to face the reality of the situation and you have to let them go. Even though losing someone is never easy I'm glad God saw fit to prepare us for the death of my dad. It's hard... And you never fully get over the death of someone you're close to and love. But when the moment finally arrived and my mom told me my dad had past, the only think I say was " He pasted? Just now? hmm I see... can we leave?", I knew it was coming... So I was "prepared". Granted you're never really prepared for loosing someone... And each case is SO different, but for me personally, I'm thankful that God didn't take my dad right away but gave us time to get ready for what was coming.

My Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays besides Christmas of course. I guess what I love most about it is that it's a time to be with friends and family, have great food,  remember all that you have been blessed with throughout the year and decorate (although I don't do much of that right now one day when I get my own house Thanksgiving will be at my house  *whispers* they just don't know yet, and it will be a grand event. I will make my Thanksgiving fantasy a reality).

This past Thanksgiving was definitely a good Thanksgiving. My whole family was home, my god family came over for dinner, my good friend from college come up for the weekend, people that didn't have families to spend the holiday with came over, and The Fam got together to play games.

Fireworks Exclusive

This is exclusive never before seen...once in a lifetime footage. Every now and then I've been seen in the studio (karaoke) but I post up on the couch to be entertained by all the others that desire to sing and carry on. You MIGHT get me to do a verse from a Biggie song...MAYBE. But since I don't sing... I don't karaoke. Anyway, while in Korea I had to get up and do our theme song with the Fam. I probably shouldn't even post this.... but at this moment I'm like what the heck....
