Bike Weekend

I was all hype to be going down to Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day weekend, jumping on the back of some fine dudes motorcycle. However, I was just informed from someone who's frequented Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day for the past 10 years that this year they are requiring riders to wear helmets............

Well generally riders are cruising at a slow speed, so a helmet seems ridiculous. And now with riders wearing helmets a female can't see what the dude on the bike looks like unless he takes his helmet off! And how bold is this?:
"Aye shawty! you wanna ride"
"ummm yeah can you take your helmet off?"
Dude takes off helmet and she thinks.....'hot damn this negro if fugly'
"on second thought, I'm scared of motorcycles, never mind"

I don't know about you but i'm not trying to be in that situation!

Since every rider needs a helmet, what happens when non-bike owing heffa's like myself are approached to ride?
Well clearly I'm not buying a helmet, and I am surely not trying to accesorize my outfit with a helmet! So then the bike riding dudes need to have an extra helmet for my fly ass..........but wait a min....how many other heffa's put their damn head in this shit....not trying to catch LICE! (yes, black folks can get lice! But I'm not black anyway! joking)....WTF are weave/ponytail/wig wearing heffa's gonna do? sheeeeee-it I'm not messing my do up for a bike ride! NO SIR!

Lastly, who wants to put a helmet on in 90 degree weather?........no me! I'm trying to stay so fresh, so clean!

I dunno about this trip...............................

(Smerking with my fingers crossed behind my back! He He He)

HOMO or NO HOMO that is the question

So lately there has been lots of talk about homosexuality, from Miss California's anti gay marriage comments, to Bow Wow's comments of not liking to be around gay stylist and hair dressers. There are a lot of opinions, misconceptions, and just plan ole bad attitudes about the subject so I decided to write about it.





One of my dear friends happens to be lesbian. I have been an advid GLBT supporter for quite some time and I am heterosexual. I've kinda perfected my little rant about homosexuals and their civil rights, at least that's how I feel. Here are my main points.





1. Homosexual people are generally attracted to other homosexuals. Dude just because the man is gay and he's standing next to you doesn't mean he wants you. You are way to full of yourself. Homosexuals have types and preferences too. Just like heterosexuals have types and preference, and generally heterosexuals are attracted to other heterosexuals. So don't fool yourself a gay man doesn't want you just because you are a man! Same applies to gay women!





2. Listen, if you believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, that's fine, that's what you believe. But don't start imposing your shit on to others. We are all entitled to our opinions, but they are just that, opinions. The problem arises when we force our stuff down the throats of others. How would you like it if I said that college should only be for offspring of single black mothers? That wouldn't be fair to my Caucasian (or......insert race here) counterparts now would that? The point is when we try to force others to comply with what we think we cause problems. Remember the anti-miscegenation laws where it was illegal to marry outside one's race? That hateful shit was created based on the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of other people. I think it's safe to say that probably wasn't cool. So what's the difference here?




3. Christianity was created from the following and teachings of Christ. Christ never condemned anyone. Why? Because only God can judge. Jesus treated everyone, friend and foe the same. No matter how he was treated by others he was loving, understanding, and caring towards them. So if the goal of Christianity is to be Christ like, then why are people so quick to jump and judge someone? I mean WWJD is real question people, not just a marketing fad!




Also, lets remember that one sin isn't greater than another. So while you all trying to cast homosexuals into fire and brimstone remember you might not be to far behind because at some point you lied, coveted, stole, had pre-marital sex (oh lawd!), and the list goes on and on.



Remember Christians, we are responsible for our actions towards others. When we deny someone food, shelter, compassion, we might as well be denying Jesus those things as well. I am not a bible pro by no means but I do recall a conversation of some sort where Jesus or God was speaking to someone saying that when he was hungry they didn't feed him, when he needed shelter they didn't house him, and so on. And the person Jesus/God was speaking to was astonished and asked, when did I deny you of those things? And the reply was when you denied your brother (as in fellow human being) you denied me. Go figure!



Just live your life, treat others as you would want to be treated, and leave the judging to GOD!


4. Marriage is a business agreement (marriage contract) between two people that come with benefits. Also, if there are emotions involved there are tons of physical and mental benefits to it as well. If you attribute a spiritual meaning to it that's awesome. But everyone isn't you. People of other religions get married every day. I don't see why people are so against homosexuals getting married, it's not your marriage, so WTF? You can't control the emotions of others, so if George and Bob love each other, they love each other. But why would you deny them some of the perks of marriage. Do your research!!



If two people are married and one is dying in the hospital, that spouse doesn't have to ask anyone permission to visit them in the hospital. That spouse doesn't need to ask permission to continue to reside in the home that they have built together. That spouse doesn't need to battle with anyone as to how things will be done or taken care of.



However, since "gay marriage" isn't recognized if two gay people who have been together for 20 years (ya'll that's longer than some of your damn parents!) they don't get the same benefits. George doesn't have the RIGHT to visit Bob in the hospital. If the family says no then he can't. If Bob dies, then the house that he and George have built together doesn't belong to George (unless his name is on the mortgage, but for whatever reason we know that sometimes one person's credit is f-ed up or maybe George moved into Bob's home 20 yrs ago, whatever) and George may become homeless. And those things that the lovely couple has accumulated over the past 20 years, if they are in that house George can't live in anymore, George has no say as to what happens to them. So the lovely memorabilia they collected from their trip to Europe can be tossed out like yesterday's trash if the family deems so.



I don't care who you are, but that shit isn't fair! Let's not forget the tax benefits, and health insurance. Why would you want to deny someone these things just because you don't agree with who they like to sleep with.



Sooooo, if I don't agree with the fact that you like to give cunnilingus a little too often, or you like to use Durex over Trojan, does that mean I can deny you some things? Hell no....







So in the end, believe what you believe about homosexuality and gay marriage, but let it just be a belief, don't go all Willie Nille and try to condemn, judge, or deny people their basic human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A moment of silence for MELVIN CHERRY

Just an FYI his funeral/wake is tomorrow beginning at 10am. I'll be attending. I'm a little scared as I don't do funerals. I spoke to his mother last week and she stated that his daughter was dedicated to the Lord on Easter Sunday. She states he had a seizure which led to a heart attack and that's how he passed............

LIFE IS SHORT! APPRECIATED IT

The Adventures of Dating ME!

So lately there has been a reoccurring theme in my life. MENTAL ILLNESS........from the video of the mentally ill woman on the Marta train to the weird lady at the bus stop on Friday morning telling me that she lost weight by becoming a communist...WTF

This theme has now entered my dating life. I mean I realize that the majority of us are damaged goods.....we carry with us emotional scars of our lovers past. But many of us try and not allow the events of our past dictate the future of our present!

So the last blog regarding the adventures of dating me was a quote from a T.I. song and so this blog is directly related to that person. In previous blogs I mentioned that I would prefer a man to have the three C's. Those C's are without a doubt material things. And by no means do I believe that material things make the man. The man makes those things. Because let's face it a Dick is a Dick and even if he has the three C's plus some. He's still a Dick, just a Dick with THINGS..........

So I met a guy and we began the process of getting to know each other, however the last time we spent together I felt like I was visiting the psych ward in the hospital. There were definitely some mental health issues with this dude. Clearly, he is damaged goods, a little traumatized, and so on and so forth. He lacked confidence, was not assertive, and I pretty much ascertained that he didn't know what in the world to do with me.

So that's that......Mental illness is real and people need help....
This experience with ole crazy has turned me off a little. I'm highly considering hanging up my dating jersey for a while. Cause I can't deal with dudes dropping off and dying, or being insane. Too many traumatic experiences in a short amount of time.......I don't wanna have dating PTSD and end up chasing away all that try to enter my world.

..........sigh...
