Good Morning Fam! Mia great topic and one that hits home with a few people I know. I just talked with a friend of mine this past weekend, and he was saying he has enjoyed being by himself and not having to deal with a relationship, but being alone is getting old and lonely for him. We have a good vibe with each other,we can talk about anything, but I don’t get that feeling when we’re hanging. I can’t exlain it. This is the guy that made the waiter drop the tray of plates b/c he was staring so hard at him. He is fine, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Good Morning!

Mia what happened to the intern you had staying with you? Did she move out already?

Being home alone is something I’m having to get used to as well. Me being the youngest of 4 there was always lots of people at home and I went from my parents home to being married with kids. After 11 years of never being alone, I find myself alone pretty often now when the kids are gone to their dad’s. I spend that time doing the things I enjoy and never had the time before to do. I get a good book, take myself somewhere I dont usually go with my kids, like shopping, eating somewhere nice, exercising. Or I’ll rent a movie that I wouldnt watch when they’re around. Anyway MIA, those are just some of the things I do to beat the lonely blues…It’s not so bad, I’m learning that I am more than just a mom……..

I lived alone briefly and decided to move back in with my parents until I could get my finances in order. I was lonely in my apartment and I still get lonely at home. I hate being cooped up for too long and just feel like I ought to be doing something with myself than sitting at home. I’ve realized that the time I have to sit at home and chill I could be putting it to good use like reading, setting up a budget, getting my investments on, , writing out my goals, studying for the GMAT, searching for jobs, volunteering, etc. I could be doing so much with my time to improve me rather than sitting around feeling lonely or going out for the sake of going out so I won’t be lonely. The saying is true that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. During the times when I am lonely I find myself trying to find ways to curb my loneliness like going to the mall and shopping when I should be saving and investing that money, trying to hook up with an ole dude who has obviously no intentions in being my boyfriend, getting down on myself because I don’t have a man or whatever the case may be. But there is so much I could be doing for me to make ME happy and not worry about all that other stuff.
Mia’s case may be different because she seems to have her ducks in a row.

Morning All.

MsIspy - The fact that you had to call out MissU here on the blog instead of emailing her directly was uncalled for and very immature. That is something between you and her NOT you, her and the blog.

Miss Mia - We all feel a little lonely at times but you should never feel like you’re nothing. If you like to be out and about, by all means do what makes YOU happy. When you do run into someone with whom you’d like to spend quality time, you will want to be at home more often (believe me, I know!).

Good Morning Everyone.

On topic: I think we all go thru a stage of loneliness at one time or another. I do remember some years back living by myself and just wanting someone to talk to. But I learned how to find other things to do to occupy my mind and then the LOML came along.

@MissU Don’t sweat it. From some of his past posts, I could tell he was probably the type that likes to make his rounds. She has probably seen it happen so much, that she recognized the signs that he was on the prowl. You are not her problem, she needs to kick him to the curb.

Well I guess thats the last we will see of ISPY. HAHAHH. I wonder if that is the broad that he tells “isnt it time for you to be going?”

Damn cuzzo.

Lonely. I dont never get lonely when I am by myself. I used to get mad at being at my old house by myself cause I would have to clean it, the gutters, the yard and all that crap by myself. I would have to dust rooms I never even went in. That basement, man I hated that basement. LOML used to say it was a man living down there cause I never went down there. but for real I think that it depends fully on the person. Sometimes I wish I could just be alone (I actually think thats why golf is my sport of choice now) i am one of the smartest most interesting people I know.

Ms. Ispy is trippin’.

On topic, I have always liked being around people but needed time to myself to decompress. After my kids were born, though, I had to get used to having people around all the time. Now that they have gotten a little older, and they sometimes go out of town with their daddy while I have to stay at home alone and do schoolwork, I occasionally have some time alone for the first time in years. I guess it will take some time for me to readjust, because it seems weird and even a little creepy to be there with just the pets. It bothers me mainly at night when the house is too quiet and I have been watching Court TV nonstop, LOL. Also, I tend to worry about hubby and kids being on the road. But like Cee, I am relearning the art of being alone. One good thing is that it’s that much sweeter when my honeys get back.

moring Mia and Blog. Growing up alone I am at ease of being home alone most times and to be honest I function more efficiently by myself and I got time to think clearly. Then there are times i want someone around but not to help me think but for the company. My lady friend tell me i am wishy washy because I only want her around when I want to not when she wants to but if she had it her way it would be 24/7. At this time I don’t want that and its been explained but she don’t understand. Does love = wanting to be with someone 24/7. I don’t think so.

being from a LARGE family and nearly ALWAYS having roommates in some form, some just there, some social buddies, (the only way you can live in SoCal) for many years, I can now say I am LOVING the solo time I now have.

Good morning!

Either ‘Home is Where the Heart Is’ or ‘Home is Where You Hang Your Hat’. Being somewhat rootless and hometown-less, I’m a little of both. Carry your home in your heart and every house is a home.

I can be a homebody. Dealing with loneliness is, for most, something you have to learn how to do. It leads rather naturally to introspection, which is a good thing. My favorite times are in the morning on the screened in porch in back, sipping coffee and listening to a thousand birds sing; and the same place at night, sipping a beer and listening to a million crickets chirp. My back yard is home to bunnies, squirrels, deer, chipmunks, falcons, all kinds of wildlife, and I just dig it there. I sit there with my dog and think.

‘Course, I could get a social life!

Mia, perhaps your song for today could be Billie Holiday singing ‘Solitude’. It’s old, but good.

@ispy don’t get mad and start busting folks out cuz you’re man is a ho. take that up with him because that’s who the problem is with.

he made and apparently broke the commitment. so why are you out here makin e’erybody involved look tacky — including and especially yourself?

@mia: WILL YOU PUH-LEEZE STOP PINING FOR A MAN????? relationships are cool, but dang. how to handle it: think of what you can do because you’re FREEEEEEE.

for example: you are free to sit around in your underwear for an entire weekend and not worrying about hurtin anyone else’s nose or eyes but your own.

if you want to up and move to NYC tomorrow, who do you have to ask?

if you decide to make out in the back of the club with that stunning piece of mandingo magnificence who made your jaw drop, ain’t no one going to be mad.

if you decide you want to splurge on a hogan bag, even if that means tuna sandwiches for dinner for the next three months, nobody going to be b*tchin about that but you.

Good Morning Lovely People,

On topic - Mia - I agree with everyone in that we all get lonely at times. One thing you can try to get out of that mode is to learn to enjoy explore every room in your house. Throw yourself a party in each room and celebrate the fact that the house is yours. Your mate is coming to make that house into a home, but first you have to learn to enjoy you. Celebrate your accomplishments, love all that you are and will become. Your prince is on his way. ;)

Lawd, lawd - what’s really going on in here. * Miss U & Mrs. Ispy* - Be nice to one another. Let’s not attack one another on a personal level.

@Cee - How are you lady? I’m doing wonderful. How is “Eyecandy”?

@Carrington - Your Dallas experience sound quite traumatic. Goodness.

Good Morning, All! Dang, drama…so early in the morning! On topic: I am a people person and I used to hate being alone, but over the last year or so I have learned to love the time I have by myself. Sometimes after having a busy week or two I just have to shut down and have some time by myself to do whatever: clean, read, listen to music, etc. I think time alone helps you to really appreciate yourself, which makes you enjoy others more and allows them to enjoy you more.

Cee Hey! I agree with you 100%. That’s exactly where I am in life.

Good Morning, everyone!

I feel you, Mia. I am the type that likes to be out and about. I love people. I love seeing new things. One of my favorite past times is people watching. Now, I do enjoy my alone time at home but I’m not a homebody; however, my man is. It’s cool at times when I actually want to be there w/ him chillin’ but we can only watch so much PBS, CNN, and DVDs. I like to go out and I often do. I invite him out often and he hardly ever wants to go, so I go out alone or w/ friends. When I lived by myself, I was never home either. I attributed this to just being a social butterfly cuz I’ve always been this way. I hardly felt lonely when I lived alone, cuz I only spent time at home, when I felt like being alone and just enjoying some me time.

Home is what you make of it.

@hazel peach-I feel ya…it’s very easy to get so involved with work or the kids activities that you forget to do good things for yourself. When the kids go to bed take at least 30 mins to sit down with a glass of wine, a good book, light some candles and relax. You’ll learn to appreciate YOUR time and eventually move towards doing things outside the home by yourself..

Okay, I’m done.

@Ms. Ispy - First off, congrats. I know this is probably a very scary time for you, especially if you don’t know where your relationship with this young man stands. Unfortunately, you chose to deal with your problems with him in the wrong way. This is something you need to take up with your gentlemen and not the young lady you assumed was a problem. Believe me, Miss U is not a threat to your relationship — You are. Never let that man see you sweat - cause now he knows he’s got you sprung. For you to come out and embarass yourself by calling him out like that and show your insecurities - girl get a grip. You should know you are worth more than that - without trust, there is really no relationship.

Speaking of calling someone out…I tuned into 107.9 this morning (I usually don’t listen to the station).

As soon as I tuned in, a woman called into the station and called out this dude by giving his entire name and saying that he has 5 kids by 4 women and he needs to get fixed. She said she knows because she is one of his baby mommas! I was was like you are a dumb azz for getting pregnant by dude too. Last I heard, it takes TWO to have a child.

Ms Ispy, you done ruined that kid. Aint you not sposed to tell that you preggo for the first three months?

I agree with whoever said this about her knowing her dude. She prolly got reason to be hype cause she seen this before. Maybe he was a blackplanet pimp, maybe she found some old IM’s, maybe he is an innanet whoremonger. Its just too many possibilities. You might wanna consider seeing baby dr kervorkian lady.

Guys, I am ova here laughing my azz off. There is a first for everything and this is my first. I have not been blasted by a woman b4 whose man initiated a conversation with me. lol And yeh, she has serious security issues. I hope she doesn’t think having his baby is going to make him stay especially since his M.O is obviously stepping out on her. Women like that often lash out at who they think the other woman is b/c they are afraid to confront the man.

I need to vent…

I wish women (young AND old) would realize that WE more times than not have the control when it comes to sex.

YOU have the responsibility to protect YOURSELF. Either you get some kind of birth control or tell your man to wrap it up or BOTH.

It makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever to bad mouth or blame YOUR sperm donor for knocking you up when YOU are just as responsible for the consequences!!

This has/is happening over and over in my family. One 25 year old cuz just had 4th child by this dude with 6 other kids and can hardly take care of the ones she has. She is unstable herself and continuing to bring children into this unstable and volatile environment. WTF??

Carrington I never have understood how people, especially women live in filth and act like its all good. discailmer: now my house is not spotless, it is very clean but some rooms are not how shall I say.. umm very well organized at first glance.. LoL. But I have been invited to chick’s houses or apts. where I did not want to sit down, but they walk around barefoot on floors that have never been vacuumed and they seem to not see dirty dishes or that stuff growing in the tub and in the sink, oh yeah and what’s that smell??. It hurts my heart to meet a clean looking and attractive lady who’s house is absolutely nasty, I can deal with some clutter or not being so neat, but nasty is untolerable.

I think have found a pretty good spot check on the cleanliness of someone you meet… just pull back the shower curtain and take a peek. If its clean you might be in good shape, if its not run away… If somebody tries to do a rush cleaning job they won’t clean the tub, they will just pull the curtian up. Usually a person who keeps a clean tub at least maintains a certain level of cleanliness… but that’s just my observation.

Question: Are you ever really clean if you bathe in a filthy tub????

LEAVE the drama for personal communication!! GEEZ….we’re all adults, this is NOT high school. It bothers me when the females start bickering amongst each other. Confront your man, not the so-called/supposedly woman that he was flirting with or whatever he was doing.

ON TOPIC…I appreciate time alone. I have a special needs (autistic) teen. He’s visiting relatives for the remainder of the summer and I’m ENJOYING every moment of being home alone. I went to the spa this weekend and to a b’day cookout. I attended some NBAF activities on Sunday and treated myself to dinner instead of cooking. I took the leftovers home and watched a movie.

When I here “baby mama” I get this image of some chic with a bunch of kids, by different men. She is on welfare but all up in the club. Kids can’t read but know all of the latest dance moves and videos and booty shake songs that come on the radio or tv. She has gold fronts and a jacked up weave and lives in Section 8 housing.

Mia - You shouldn’t EVER feel like you have nothing either when in fact you have more than a lot of people only wish they had - a career, a nice home, family, friends, friends that are family, your health, hope (more people than you know don’t even have this).

On the ESPY Awards the other nite, they gave the Arthur Ashe award to a man from Ghana who was born with one leg. People who are born with deformities are outcasts from society and go through their entire lives begging on the street. This young man inspired his country to let people know that ALL people should be valued. He took up bicycling across the country to show people that despite having one leg he is a whole man.

I sometimes start to feel down about what I don’t have, but hearing stories like that make me feel really silly.

I can’t remember where we were going, but this dude pulls up next to us and he speaks. The ex was like do u know him, I was like no but unless he said something other than hello and u heard it then what’s the problem. The same person u just had an issue with saying hello could be in a position to save your life and the way Karma works will prolly flash back to the moment you acted an azz b/c he said hello.

PsychoBelle, being ‘rootless’ is a long story: family divisions, I grew up separately from siblings and one parent or the other… moved around constantly because my stepdad was in the military, so no hometown. No biggie to me, but sometimes I wish my kids had grown up with grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins and all. They’ve had a good home though, even if it’s just with me.

You never, (I repeat) never should have called her @ss in the first place to come get you and take you anywhere or bring you anything. If you couldn’t get your girl or your homie to do it then you should have rescheduled. Not allow the chance for the opportunity of sabotage to exist. Not sure if LOYL knows about this supposed baby mama situation, whether Ms Ispy’s lying or if it’s real….either way, I’m sure LOYL’s not liking it one bit, real or not. And another slap up for ya.

I feel like I am in the principle office trying to explain myself.

@Divine/Rufus - Because at the time that was my way of contact with her. I work outside, I’m a contractor and I couldn’t be having her calling me. So I had her setup and email account that I would access at my office when I went in in the mornings so that I could contact her. She said everything was cool, It never darned on me to have the email account changed I was still using it. (It has been officially closed) You are right Rufus, I hit it and hit it and hit it again.

Ok, so this is how I’m seeing it…….Ms Ispy pretended to be the homie/lover/friend…..so they were cool and he would hit it from time to time….now you know all the women think they got that Fi-yah banging poon so she thought if she was maybe putting it down, that would be enough to get him caught up w/ her……dude started feeling the other one cuz she was something different and didn’t take his mess like the rest of the broads….ok, so he decides he’s going to start being right and he ceases the cut w/ Ms Ispy…..she says she’s cool cuz she really has plans to eventually get him again, it’s just a matter of time…..but dude ain’t budging and when he calls her for only favors, she’s like, what???? I know you ain’t turning this good cut-up, but he does…..well, at least for the last 2 months, which would explain why she’s exactly 2 months preggers.

@Ispy - You need to handle the situation properly. Instead of you calling her a liar - you need to deal with yourself first. You never should have called her (violation#1), where were you that she could read your e-mail (hopefully not in her house - violation #2), and if you have not told your mate you better (violation #3). Get your mind right young man, if you want to be in a relationship give it the respect that it deserves otherwise you need to leave it alone.

And to break the tension in here today, a funny from a buddy:

Two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car which said: “Two Prostitutes — $50.00.”

A policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they’d either have to remove the sign or go to jail.

Just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying: “JESUS SAVES.”

One of the girls asked the officer, “How come you don’t stop them?!”

“Well, that’s a little different,” the officer smiled “Their sign pertains to religion.”

So the two ladies of the night frowned as they took their sign down and drove off.

The following day found the same police officer in the area when he noticed the two ladies driving around with a large sign on their car again. Figuring he had an easy arrest, he began to catch up with them when he noticed the new sign which now read:

“Two Fallen Angels Seeking Peter — $50.00.”

I should have trained today, but then again I would not have known what was going on.

On said topic, Let me try this again, There is a lot of validity to the statement a house is not a home. You have to invest a multitude of love and care into a house. I remeber when I was pregged with my oldest dghter, and the in-laws visited for Thanksgiving. When they walked in the door, His grammy said, this is a very warm home. We had just moved in, we had not furniture and we could have cared less. We had our little family there, and things were going the way I had hoped until our place burned down. Earlier that night, I had gone into labor so I didn’t know what was going on. They sent me home b/c I hadn’t dialated enough and when we got back, the apt was gone. I found out later y it had burned down, and ofcourse, this is when we stopped vibing and it would take 4 years for me to split.

On Usher and said girlfriend…..I don’t think she’s actually preggers. That’s an empire waist dress and she can’t possibly be showing in just a couple of days….not saying she might not be now but as for the black dress and her looking pregnant, she was just w/ him in Paris on July 9th in some lowrise, hip-skimming pants and a fitted tank…..she ain’t look pregnant in that. Her stomach was as flat as a board. Now some few days later she’s supposedly being about 3-5 months and showing, I doubt it. It’s more than likely just the dress. If she really is pregnant, she’s newly pregnant, like a few weeks and she’s not showing.

To me, that’s just plain disrespectful to your woman. You cheated with this broad, yet still call her to ask for rides because its convenient for you?? WTF?? If your woman is cool with this, she needs to have her head examined.

By Ivy

July 19, 2005 01:47 PM | Link to this

Ispy, let’s be fair. In all realness, you lead her on, intentionally because you liked the fact that you could possibly have someone waiting in the wings should you and LOYL not work out…..ultimately, you strung her along, although at any point she could have kept the strings……..maybe you didn’t realize that she (Ms Ispy) was really getting more and more caught up w/ you (but seemingly you did) because the thought of her having/continuing whatever she thought you all had was worth more to her than loosing you altogether so she allowed herself to be strung along, that was until you tried to publicly embarrass her @ss on this blog and even though she knew/knows you have a woman, it wasn’t the same as seeing you mack/flirt/whateverness with someone else in her face…….now, not sure how many of her friends she’s told about this or about your emails or even about LOYL, but she’s actually POd……she’s not mad at you, but at herself for allowing herself to be strung along by you, for being played for a fool, for hoping that something more would come of you all if she just held on. Then you further smash her face in the mud by calling her some cut up/hit and run so best believe she’s feeling like a woman scorned. You should watch your back cuz lil’mama is gone git you. Not sure of you all’s age but being that she attempted to call out an innoncent blogger by their gov’t name, call you out by your gov’t name, and the fact that she’s still lurking to see what other ish you gonna try to talk up shows her level of maturity….. dude, you better be careful and warn your girl too. And also, you need to confirm that she isn’t pregnant and then cut all ties w/ her, especially the little favors here and there.

Well I step into a doggone episode of Young and the Restless up in here….. Wow

Ispy I’m agreeing with MsAP and Ivy’s take on this situation…. you did something to encourage this chick to lose her mind. You aren’t serious about her…. which is fine but you couldn’t have just left her the h3ll alone when you decided you wanted to be done?!!!! Sure she did you a favor… and you thought ya’ll were cool but if you were the one that ended things—- women don’t like to be dropped (hell nobody likes to be dropped)…. 9 times out of 10 the only way ya’ll were going to actually honestly be cool is if the end of whatever ya’ll were doing was on HER terms NOT YOURS. Next time you need a ride… call a cab, the LOYL, one of your boys, your secretary, a cousin…. SOMEBODY. Also, for the sake of your relationship cut off the contact with the past indiscretions or flngs….. no self-respecting woman wants to know her man stays in consistent contact with women he used to bone.

Mia I’m agreeing with Cee… think about all the great things that you can do because you are by yourself. If you’re still longing to be around people like that get involved in volunteering, civic groups, book clubs… whatever floats your boat.

Its time to get out of the US.. the courts are going crazy… first eminent domain now this… in Cali. the courts ruled that female employees can be the victim of sexual harrassment if another woman in the office is having an afair with the boss…. I might agree with an unfair advantage or favoratism… but not sexual harrassment. Basically they consider it sexual harrassment if you treat the one you are having an affair with better than you treat the other women in the office.

They are trying to make it almost illegal to be homeless. Bush won’t say if he will sign the continuation of the voters rights act. Clarence Thomas is likely to be front runner to be the next cheif Justice. Bush will probably get to appoint 2 (very conservative) judges to the supreme court. What will be next? Bush’s Presidency will have more lasting effects than any president of our lifetimes. I see why he fought so hard and dirty to get in office… he knew that this term would be responsible for several pieces of legislation that will be important for the next 50 years. What country has the best exchange rate right now??? I need to save up for some property there.

Suga&Spice, a 23 year old is barely old enough to legally buy a drink. To me, people of that age are mostly still kids in that they’ve not learned much of life yet. ‘Grown’ is subjective though, it means different things to different people, so fair enough — that’s why I hesitated to bring it up.

Better for her to learn her lessons about the pitfalls and benefits of romance from her peers, those close to her own age, those who are experiencing life at the same stage and level that she is.

Mia can I get an ISP check on Aisle #1,..LoL somtin aint’ rite… gotta rule out the possibility that ISPY and MsIspy are not the same person.

why da h3ll would a person go out of their way to put a stranger on blast inf front of a bunch of other strangers who most have not met each other??? Isht happens like that, but seems fishy to me. I think Ispy might have been bored and wanted something to do at work all day….

If a chick wanted to put you on front street I would hope she would do it in a forum that matters.. like maybe with your so called girlfriend, your job, your real life friends,etc. It is a complete waste of time for her to come into a blog and put folks business out there. She didn’t gain jack from the situation and she didn’t hurt you so what’s the point? I mean we all know some folks on the blog done hooked up… I can’t prove it but my left femur is itching on the lower left side… when that happens I know my feeling is right.

Now if ya’ll iz ain’t the same person… my bad and she is a chick that needs therapy, and you just have some major issues to straighten out, cause you doin’ too much playa, you doin’ too much.

EPO Ease your mind about that Cali decision. NO ONE and I mean no one…. especially actual practicing attorneys gives head to anything California courts say but lawyers actually practicing in Cali. Everybody else in the country know they’re a little… umm shall we say liberal and extreme. Don’t get me wrong I agree with a lot of things they have done but this is going too far. Every judge or lawyer that I’ve ever worked for has told me to avoid cali opinions at all cost…

The court system stinks right now. Clarence Thomas is overwhelmingly underqualified to be on the Supreme Court period so he for dayum sure need not be chief justice… but then again look at our president

If I was 44 and she was 33, a bit different. 23 is just too young for a 34 year old guy, any sense of responsibility, honor, respect would keep one from making a move on it, IMHO.

Mia, I think that wanting to be around other people or not being a homebody is a fine way to be, too. Humans in general are social animals, so it’s natural for most people not to want to be “home alone.” Also, some people have a more extroverted personality, which increases their need to be around other people. When I’m home alone and feeling lonely, I tend to get online, call friends and family, etc. My dog is always a big comfort, too. Maybe getting a dog or a cat or two would be a good option for you, if you don’t have pets already.

I’m in here bootleggin’, too. Mornin’, y’all!

I’ve been wanting to ask AggWitt whether he would feel comfortable discussing racial issues with a gal who’s maybe, say, got one white parent and one black parent. (I’m planning to try to make a point with this, depending on his answer.) By the way, AggWitt, I was LMAO yesterday at your comments on the ispy situation!

Another revisit of a past topic: In Appalachia, giving someone a knife means bad luck for the relationship because it foretells “cutting off” the relationship. Now, you may wonder who would give someone a knife as a present, but remember we’re talking about Appalachia, where a weapon could be a collector’s item and treasured gift ;-).

And one more: I was kinda disappointed that no one said anything about my answer to the question about strangest places you’ve ever “done it” (this was during our last bootleg session, which was tacked onto the June 30th blog, I think). But maybe people didn’t believe me, or on the other hand, maybe it didn’t sound remarkable to our wild-@ss little blog family (LOL).

Got to get some work done, but I’ll be back with y’all later! I hope everybody has a good day.

In other words, if I am talking shyt about someone who is neon ugly and one of the people around happens to be said persons cousin, mother, aunt. The truth still remains the same. That person is still hella ugly.

Hey D1 and PB! To expound on the strangest place I ever “done it”..I mentioned this was next to a nuclear reactor. I forgot to mention there were several atomic bombs about three miles away.

Miss U - Is there any sort of dress code at BBs? I am the poster child of “comfort” and it has been a while since I have been out. I am looking forward to meeting everyone. Who’s the designated driver?

Another topic: What’s the most suggestive thing that’s ever been said to you int he sweetest way? I was thinking of song lyrics this morning. ZZ Top’s Mexican Blackbird, “The Mexican blackbird will spread like an eagle for you..” vs Rod Stewart’s Tonight’s the Night, “Spread your wings and let me come inside..” Which one is more romantic or is it more in who’s saying it rather than what is being said?

reminds me Playboy this month has an article on the history of conjugal visits for prisoners, seems MS has always been the most accomodating.. but that Credence Clearwater Revival song “Let the Midnight Special shine its everylasting light on me” is a LeadBelly song related to the busing in of hookers to MS state prisons to ‘service’ the inmates there. I never knew that.

if you replaced “LOVE” in most songs with “LUST” they would be more accurate.

@Ignatius — I would think the “who is saying it” factor plays a big role in how a person reacts. The hottest thing thats been said to me was ” Let me write my name in your walls”. From anyone else it would have been considered vulgar and rude, but because it came from someone I was really into — Let just say there was a flood before the tide rushed in. ;)

Has anyone checked out the August issue of Essence…. the one with Terrence Howard on the front? They had a great article about the state of black marriages… and some alarming statistics. Ex. 34% of black people are married and 50% of our marriages will end in the 10th year. What do ya’ll have to say about that?

By Psycho Belle

Well, see, AggWitt, my opinion is that it should really depend on all the particulars of the person in question and not just race. For example, I worked with a gal once whose mom was white and dad was black. Her mom and dad divorced when she was little, her mom’s second marriage was to a white guy, and the new familia (white mom, W/B daughter, and white stepdad) all went to live in a town in Maine where she said there were no black people. So this gal, even though you would have looked at her and said she’s black, may not have identified with you at all on the racial issues and may have reacted the same way that you thought a white gal might react.

On the other hand, suppose you have a white gal who is raised around black people, whose culture has a lot in common with black culture, and who is educated about and very much in agreement with you on issues of race and social justice. Now, she couldn’t 100% feel what you feel, because she has not had your same experience of being black, but I do think she could see eye-to-eye with you on most things. One reason I say this is that I consider myself to be just such a person (which played into some of the reasons I decided to become an AA/EEO specialist when I was in the military).

So my bottom line is that I don’t think race should necessarily be the determining factor for whether you could feel comfortable saying those kinds of things around a person or whether a person could understand and agree with you. You would really just have to know more about a person to know how they would be. So can you allow me that?

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope that everyone is well this morning. There are a couple of things that I have been thinking of lately, but I wasn’t sure if they were topic worthy. But, since we are on our own today here goes:

Children and Relationships I know that children can change the dynamics of a relationship, especially if the children were there from a previous relationship. What bothers me is why mothers feel that it’s ok to get rid of the kids for the sake of the new man. Case in point, Susan Smith, but to be more current, there is this woman here in DC who killed her 6 year old son because she didn’t think that he accepted her new boyfriend. So, the question becomes - do you choose not to date someone with kids because of the added presure in the relationship and if you have kids, how do you address bringing them around someone who is not thier bilogical parent?

walls As we get older, life experiences causes us to build walls around our hearts, create distance between us and others, and not to take people at face value. Yesterday’s blog with MsIspy brought up some very valid issues. Here we have a young woman who may never trust another older man as a potential. And a woman who has a man that’s for all intended purposes, a dog. So, my question becomes what advice would you give someone to help them (1) remain guarded to protect themselves, but (2) not be so guarded that you become a manhater?

Love has the word love become just another 4 letter word? I wonder this because yesterday, people were often reffering to others as the love of their life, yet they were cheating on them. Are we in a society that doesn’t know the true meaning of love and tends to mistake infactuation or attraction for love?

Those are just my suggestions, but I am sure that others may have different ones.

Psycho, what’s with you and this obsession for discussing race? Yeah, yeah, I know what they say, *”The beginnings of open dialogue between the reaces will be the beginnings of racial harmony.” and all of that other Utopian, idealist b8llsh!t.

When the truth of the matter is, unless you live in skin that carries darker pigment, race is nearly a non-issue for you.

If you ever find a way to live in the skin I am in and every day you wake up a black person in a white world where you can really have a true understanding of the mile in my moccasins, then you can come holla at me and perhaps at that point, you will understand that while I do not envy your lack of melanin, I do understand that it gives you a leg up in a world that by the time they finish seeing me as black first, then as a woman, the fact that I, too, am just a human is poorly considered.

BTW - this is not a complaining whoa-is-me-Mr.-Charlie-keeps-me-down comment. It’s just the view from my window on the world.

psycho, i get what you are saying and of course my discussion points did not take socioeconomic or psychographic data into account. Clearly, people raised differently, be they same race or not are going to have differing outlooks on life.

LOML and I come from VERY different backgrounds. She has had both parents in the house, she was a what lawrence otis graham would call ‘our kind of people’ (check that book out if you want to know what that means) and I was more a street urchin coming up. All the socioeconomic differences we have at the end of the day she STILL understands what it means to be black in this country.

Of course each person should be judged individually. I said that. But as a whole because of my preference, my knowledge of self, and my desire to be a good husband to a black woman and father to black babies (YRB - we all know I hate a kid) I choose not to date white women.

If you remember at the beginning of my post on that day I even said ‘as for me and mine’ and that my views were for ME.

Purple Dating someone with children? I have never been seriously involved with someone who had children, but I understand the conflicts that could rise. Most of the sigle parents I know are men…. and they devote most of their time to their children and I respect that A LOT. I would not have problems dating a man with children, but I would have a problem if the man I was dating neglected his kids to be with me. I can’t respect people that put SOs, jump-offs, etc. before their kids.

I have been hurt before and I know I’ve had some walls built up for a long time. I am working on trying to break down those walls and taking the past as a learning experience for the future… It is hard… I have purposely sabotaged potential relationships because of fear of being hurt. Now I am trying to take things as they come and not have expectations or judgements made about a potential SO and keep my eyes and heart wide open while also using my head to make decisions.

LOVE has become just another four letter word. I rarely tell anyone I love them but I know the people I love know it. They can tell in my actions…. I spent a total of 7 years with someone who told me he loved me everyday but continued to hurt me. So I don’t really put much weight in the word…. I pay attention to the actions… they speak louder than words

Children & relationships - My children and I are a package deal. If you can’t deal with them you can’t deal with them, you are definitely not the one for me. One thing I will say, I will not introduce my children to every man I date. That honor and privilege will only be given to someone I am getting serious with, only because I don’t want them to get attached to someone who won’t be around for a long time.

Walls - Well, my walls are still coming down brick by brick. With each brick that has been removed I have opened myself up to the opportunities of meeting and truly allowing others into my world. It has been an experience. I have grown so much in the past year by releasing some of the pain that I had held onto as a “shield”. The “shield” didn’t really protect me from anything, instead it caused me to hurt even more because with it around me I became this cold, unfeeling person. Now that I am able to the joy as well as the dreaded pain - I am a better person. Keep you head up and put down those bricks - allow yourself the freedom to feel. ;)

@ReBorn: If you will take a look at the blog on the day that IR dating was the topic, you will not see a single post from me on that day until very late, when I said that I had not been able to post all day. And that is the reason I have brought up the topic several times since then, because I did not have a chance to participate that day. Yes, I do see it as a very interesting topic. I have also suggested other topics to Mia, but that is the only one of my suggested topics that she has covered yet.

I don’t agree with you at all that race is nearly a nonissue for me because I am not a person of color. For one thing, if that were true, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

But I respect your viewpoint, and I agree that being white tends to give a person a leg up in the world from the git-go. I would add that so do other things, such as being born without obvious disabilities. As another blogger and I discussed offline, everyone has their demons, some worse than others, all different.

PsychoBelle - I have to agree with ReBorn. While you can empathize, you will not fully understand what it’s like to be a person of color (Unless maybe if you have a biracial child). Just as I can empathize with how hard it is to be a parent, I will never fully understand until I become a mother myself.

A girlfriend of one of my cousins is a Black girl who you would think was White if she didn’t have brown skin. My cousin said ever since they met in middle school she has identified more with White people. She only dates White men and my cousin is her only Black friend. She is fully aware that she is Black woman but prefers to interact with White people.

By Psycho Belle

July 20, 2005 11:19 AM | Link to this

Thanks, ReBorn. One way that race affects me daily is that I have a coworker who IMO has racist attitudes. I believe she thinks that because I am white and Southern like her, that I must share her attitudes, but I don’t. We work with other people who are black, and this white coworker is always making comments. At the same time, I am good friends with a black coworker who utterly despises this woman. So the office dynamics are very interesting. Other examples:

—My daughter’s current (or at least most recent) boyfriend is Hispanic. The boy she liked before that is black. Lots of interesting issues to work through there. —My husband and I both have ancestry other than Caucasian, and we identify and are proud of that ancestry. However, both of us appear to be Caucasian (much more so in my case than his), so most people seem to assume at first (just like my coworker does) that we will have certain attitudes and opinions that are of the majority, when we don’t. I’m a crusader type of person who can’t or won’t keep my mouth shut when I think something is wrong, so I get in discussions with people about these kinds of things nearly every day.

More later! (Off to staff meeting - ugh.)

Thanks, Divine. I prefer my hair really short cuz it’s so cute and classy plus I can just get up spray it and go. I attempted this grow out thing but it only made it to my chin. I went last Thursday to get a haircut and punked out so she cut about 3inches. I kept looking in the mirror and after she finished I was almost in tears. It’s right below my ear but has a lot of layers in the back. I hate short bangs and of course I have short bangs, which has inspired me to cut the rest off to match up w/ the itty-bitty bangs. Next Friday, I’m going to have her just chop it off and I won’t look until she’s done.

In defense of my old home state, Tennessee is a wonderful state. There are people like maintenance man anywhere you go. Just as there are any other slices of humanity. Tennessee is like three different states rolled into one.

West TN is flat as a damn pancake. That is where the majority of agriculture took place in TN. Best place, Memphis, best place to visit in Memphis, Beale Street and the Peabody and Sun records.

Middle TN, This section borders on the Cumberland Plateau and (barring memphis) has the most affluent pockets in the state. However, a lot of the affluence is “white trash with money”. Lots of history in Nashville, Rymer Auditorium, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Printer’s Alley, Music Row. Very nice place to visit. A good sports town with Adelphia Stadium and the Titans. Excellent education facilities at Vanderbilt. The more cosmopolitan it becomes though, the more charm it loses.

Which brings me to my old stompling grounds, East TN. This (and Eastern KY and West Va) is the Appalachia you see in pictures. Very rugged people, very rugged and beautiful country, abject poverty and ignorance (due to a lack of value placed on education), very clannish. A lot of the clannish leanings are due to the area being settled by Scots, Germans, and other Slavic peoples. These mixed with the Cherokee who were the most stand-offish of the Native Americans. However, these people will bend over backwards for you and do anything they can for you. Just lots of interesting things go on there. Snake handling churches, moonshining, illicit agriculture, bomb building, hunting, fishing. The closest you will ever feel to God is to be atop Mount LeConte on a cloudless winter morning watching the sun rise. Neatest places to visit, Chattanooga, Knoxville, the Smokies, Big South Fork. And if you ever want to see the epitome of college football, Neyland Stadium on a crisp October afternoon for an SEC game.

One last long winded distribe, is Love a four letter word? In written form, yes. I think “love” is defined by the person using it. The only definition I have ever seen of love is in the bible. Long suffering, forgiving, kind, gentle. In my mind, love is a lot like the bible or any religious teaching should be. If God truly loves the world, then he has to make his truths simple enough for even the simplest to comprehend. I think that’s what love is. Love is holding hands and not holding grudges. Love is speaking kindly to someone when you really feel the need to kick their butt. Love is doing the dishes, cleaning the house, washing clothes. Love is taking care of another’s heart as you would your own. Love lets a couple always be children together. Love is making McDonald’s no less a special experience than Stoney River. There is more involved when there is a commitment or a family situation, but we can love lots of people. It’s much easier to love people than to not particularly like them or to even be ambivalent towards them. I love my wife and children and I love all you folks too. It just makes me a happier person. We can’t change the world, but we can make our little worlds beautiful places to live.

Whoa, the last time I tried a hair cut my youngest was still in the oven. I decided I would try something new and plus I thought I cute and pregged so i went for it. My ex was like, I know u didn’t go and get all your hair cut!. I went from being just past my shoulders to being up above my ears, too low to curl in the back and short on the top.

@Ivy & MissU - It would not have been so bad had I not put my braids in to let my hair grow to the length she cut off. My hair is back to the length it was pre-braids. I did not ask her to cut my hair, she said she was going to trim the ends and proceeded to cut off my hair. She said she was going to keep my length, but got lost in the moment and went to cutting. Of course my back was turned from the mirror otherwise I could have seen how much she was taking off. When she turned me around and asked me if I liked my hair. I could only say ” Why would I like my hair when it’s the same length it was before the braids”. How about she told me that it wasn’t. This girl had done my hair New Year’s Eve. She told me to bring in a picture to prove it to her. How about when I showed it to her, she asked me if I was sure this was taken this year. After all of that and admitting she cut my hair for no reason, she ask “Do you want me to put some tracks in?”. Y’all know I almost lost it. So, if anyone knows a good hairdresser that is not scissor happy please give a sistah a hand.

MissU - I got pitchers! LOL My wife and I honeymooned atop Mount LeConte. Saw the sun go down on one side and saw it rise on the other the next morning. It was fifty + degrees in the valley but when we got to the top there was over a foot of snow. There was some cuddling going on that night! That is an excellent experience for any of you hikers out there. You have to book it a year or three in advance, but there is a lodge atop Mt LeConte, very primative, but very romantic. It is a 5 mile hike up and down, but it is a great one shot trip. And I ain’t trying to sell nothin! LOL I can’t even give it away.

I was going to kill that heffa. My baby calmed me down. She said (in a sweet little squeaky high voice)”Mommy, it’s only hair, it will grow back”, I said between clinched teeth, “Ok baby, I will calm down and take your word.” Well nearly 2 1/2 yrs later her hair has grown longer and thicker, but not quite to the length it was and she still thinks she’s super fine. lol

VANikia, I did the big chop, exactly one year ago as of the 15th of this month. I’m not a great fan of Carol’s daughter hair product, I think it depends greatly on the texture of your hair and the style you’re attempting… check out nappturality.com- for shared hair stories and tips

VANikia - I’ve been natural for 10 years now and will not go back to being a slave of the perm. When I did have a perm, I had a cute short do like Toni Braxton circa 1990. I’d have to perm the back more often to keep the style up. Not to mention curling it almost every morning. It was just ruining my hair.

I was just fed up with having to keep up with all that nonsense and one day decided to cut it off. It took a little while to get used to, but I’ve never felt more free than when I get a haircut! I don’t care what the weather is, I can sweat my hair out everday and save lots of money and time by not going to a salon.

Pantene has a great line of products for women of color. I use their shampoo and conditioner. I oil my scalp about once a month and use a greaseless hair lotion.

Divine, unfortunately, most stylists are scissor happy so I recommend being in the mirror at all times to see how much they are cutting. My regular stylist is really good w/ cuts but honestly, she’s usually booked. I can send the info to you. Just shoot me an email to my work email address. I can say that she really listens to you when it comes to cutting and styling your hair. I keep some backups stylists too so if you let me know the kind of style I can recommend the best one for that style. You remember my last haircut before this one that you liked???… she did that one. She did the current one too so I guess you will see that one tonight.

@Tray…..we went to Vegas last year for my birthday. We had the best time. We stayed at the Bellagio Hotel and took the tour of their art show or whatever it was (it was free). The restaurant there had the bomb buffet. We ate breakfast and lunch there. It was quite tasty and the food was really fresh and good. Zumanity was pretty good too. I honestly expected more erotica but all-in-all it was a great show. WE also ate at Emeril’s (excellent!!! the salmon was good and the desserts) and Harrah’s all you can eat crab leg buffet (horrible, can’t remember if ATL recommended that place….just horrible) and that Fatburger place. We went to a couple of the dancing shows, some bootleg strip club that had me laughing the entire time and down to that ride that’s outside the hotel (that’s a long @ss walk from the Bellagio. I broke my favorite pair of heels cuz my man swore it was only 2 blocks away, more like 2+ miles). We shopped at that Desert Mall across from the hotel (they have some of the same stores as Atlanta though). We took a couple of tours, including the one to the Hoover Dam which was pretty cool. Those are just some of the things that stood out. I’m sure in the last year though, they may have added a lot more new stuff.

@Ivy - Thank you. I willl send you that e-mail. I don’t plan on cutting my hair again until next year. Usually, I cut it before it get too long, but this year I put the braids in so I wouldn’t be tempted to cut it. I’m trying to see how long it will grow without interference - my mom’s dreads are past her bottom and still growing. She has always told me if I wasn’t so keen on cutting my hair I would have a nice length, but ya know when you’re young. I have not done much with it since it’s been cut, - you know I like low maintenance - I’m still tempted to put it in a ponytail.

EPO, I’ve never been to the one here. The one in Vegas was pretty good. Excellent and just as I imagined when I watch his cooking show. The waiter did say that each restaurant location has a different menu though because what I had previewed here on the Atlanta menu wasn’t offered in Vegas. I remember I had the barbecue salmon, my man had the tuna, I had 2 alcoholic drinks, he had 1, we shared a dessert and an appetizer and it was a little over $100. Not sure if that was before or after gratuity. I’m thinking that included a 20% gratuity though. That wasn’t too bad besides it was my birthday.

@MsAP: I agree with ReBorn on that issue, too (i.e., that a person of one race cannot fully know or understand what a person of another race experiences). You could say that about a lot of issues/characteristics. For example, I have a physical disability. I can explain to people over and over how it affects me, but even my husband and kids don’t fully understand.

@ReBorn: I appreciate it, and I do see your point about being less affected.

@Hazel Peach: Regarding whether I’m white or not, in my opinion there isn’t a simple answer, even though on “gubment” forms I mark “Caucasian.” I would really like to mark “other,” because as I said, I have some other-than-Caucasian ancestry, and I’m proud of it. However, it’s not a very large proportion, and to look at me you would never know I have it. Does this clarify?

He says ole boy still asks about me, he calls from time to time, but I never ever answer. Ugggghhh!

Heya!

Get great seafood when you’re by the sea, just like the best steaks are in Chicago and Omaha. Atlanta has great, uh… hm… well, seems to me most of the local restaurants are okay, anyway, about the same as most anywhere else.

ya’ll act like Atlanta is by the sea or something… h3ll I live 30 minutes from the coast and 45 minutes from a port where fishing vessels come to port and the seafood here is double what I would pay if I went to the dockside seafood markets. Try going to North Dakota and getting fresh seafood… then we’ll see if you complain about ATL seafood sizes and prices.

@lurker: Great topics! But who is Weinberg? (Forgive me if that was explained later; I haven’t had a chance to read all of today’s posts yet.)

Anyway, a couple of comments (even though I’m obviously not a man and therefore I cannot fully understand or appreciate ;-) :

Men do seem to worry quite a bit about their body image. This reminds me, I was talking to a guy once about sex toys and men’s fears that they could be “replaced” by a toy, and the guy says, “H#ll, I could be replaced by a shaky hand and a tube of lipstick.”

Most men I have been with would probably not do well with the idea of “their” woman having more than one physical relationship going on at a time. The rare guy is not like this, though. One guy I was with in the past told me that I could come to him from another lover with something (that is, a high-protein liquid something) running down my legs, and it would not bother him. I think he meant it, too.

It’s been fun bootlegging today! Catch y’all tomorrow.
