I want to give facebook a hug. And flip twitter the bird.

I love how when you block someone on facebook, they are COMPLETELY shut off from your wall. Perfect example: my beloved ex wife and my mother. If we comment on the same person's status, I can't see them and they can't see me. Its a thing of beauty. Twitter, however, hasn't caught up yet. So unfortunately, someone else that I love dearly, but have no respect for keeps gertting re-tweeted into my fucking timeline. This throws a huge monkey wrench in my fantasy that this sad individual was really just a figment of my imagination. I have almost convinced myself that our entire relationship was just something I made up in my head while I was in the hospital. But just as soon as I really start to beleive it, up she pops in my fucking timeline.
Lovely...

 OR THIS: 
"YOU MUST HAVEN'T HAD ANY GOOD D*CK YET." 


BLANK EFFING STARE


NEGRO,ARE YOU SERIOUS? I AM 30 YEARS OLD!


Do they really believe that in however many years of life a woman has had, she was NEVER involved with a single male that was at least decent in bed?And thats why she is subjecting herself to the added burdens and trials that come with gay life in America? You have got to be kidding me. Are men really that damn dumb or are they really just that hung up on that pitiful mess between their legs. I think its a little bit of both. I tell you what, though, if you think that beautiful lesbian that your talking to hasn't met the "right man" in all this time, please explain to me why the hell you think YOU'RE him.

Stupidity has a favorite color.

Today, in reference to a good friend of mine, I was asked, "where that punk at?" I looked at that fool standing there with yellow (I think it was supposed to be blonde) and black micro braids and a booming pair of breast feeding tata's covered only by one of Rave's finest crochet halter top and thought: this is NOT happening right now.
When I told her I didn't know who she was talking about she says: "you know, the punk, the faggot, the sissy", as if what she said at first was perfectly normal, but maybe I just hadn't understood her clearly.
Now the way this bumbling idiot was speaking (plus the outfit and hair) told me a few things.
1. She didn't know what she said was wrong in the first place.
2. She thought the ish was funny.
3. She thought because we were both black women, I should be laughing with her.
She was wrong on all points.
I hate when people assume that just because they share a common denominator with you, be it big or small, then you are automatically on their team. I have curly hair. So do a lot of Jewish people. Does that mean we should agree on all things? Clearly not. The woman who said these things really deserved my pity more than my score. She was lost in a world that, thankfully, my family found their way out of decades before I was ever concieved. However, her determination to make me "understand" what she was saying pissed me off more than I can even express. I wonder how she would feel if my good [white]friend the "punk/sissy/faggot" that she was referring to describe her as the "ghetto/ nigger/jungle bunny?" I can just about imagine. I couldn't say what I really wanted to say to her in response for a couple of reasons so off course she walked away confused and I walked away pissed. I just don't get it. I do not have to agree with you because your pigment levels are similar to mine! I encounter this annoying phenomenon @ least once per week and, to be honest, after a while it starts to affect your spirit. Because these are " my people." Its sad and embarrassing. And it probably won't stop any time soon.
I repeat common sense aint common.

This was an the actual message on an actual church sign here in Memphis, Tn. Needless to say, this a controversial "church" (cult), with controversial "leadership" (cult leader). At the New Olivet Baptist Church, they believe in non traditional forms of alter call adn prayer. They blow kisses at the Lord for example. The pastors name is Rev. Dr.Kenneth Whalum. He is an interesting character with very interesting beliefs very devout followers (who have clearly drank the kool-aid). Read the following and let me know if its just me, or if this man and his "parishioners" are with the sh*t.

News Lesbian Couple Expelled From Kenneth Whalum's Church

Posted by Bianca Phillips on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 2:44 PM

In an effort to learn more about mayoral candidate Kenneth Whalum, Yas Meen and Monique Stevens visited the reverend's New Olivet Baptist Church Sunday morning. But they claim the experience resulted verbal attacks and expulsion from the church.
"I had been having political debates with my partner about who to vote for for mayor. I said Whalum was the man to vote for, and she was going for Herenton," Meen says. "We decided to go to [Whalum's] church to see what he was all about."
Meen says many in the congregation were giving them dirty looks as soon as they sat down. But she says the real trouble started when the women — who are both agnostic — opted out of a "sanctified dance" that supposedly involved congregants dancing in the aisles, laying on the floor to pray, and blowing kisses to God.
"People were telling us we needed to blow kisses, and I said, I don't communicate with my higher power like that," says Meen, who admitted to feeling uncomfortable with New Olivet's unique style of worship. She said Whalum directly called them out for not participating.

Later, when Stevens placed her arm around Meen, the women claim a security guard asked the two to leave the church. He said he'd already called the police. The women allege that a group of about 25 young men pushed them out of the church while others taunted them with calls of "demon" and "devil worshipper." Stevens' glasses were broken and she suffered scratches and bruises.
"I was there to support him as mayor, but he won't be getting my vote now," Meen says. "If he's going to act like that in church, how will he act in front of [the citizens of Memphis]?"
Whalum was not immediately available for comment, but if he does return Flyer phone calls, we'll be certain to update the story at that time.
According to the New Olivet's website, the church offers "compassion and refuge, reaching out to a lost and hurting world that needs salvation and purpose."

_________________________________________________________________

I'm from Memphis, Tn. Everyone here who is isnt a member of New Olivet knows that this is not the church you go to for questions, this is the chuch you go to for theatrics and a Pastor with illusions of granduer. Ok, fine. Dont put ya hands on me. Period. These folks were there because they thought he might be a good candidate for mayor. Umm, yeah, no beauno. A lot of us vote, ya kow. This is a local election. One that is not at all concerned with GLBT issues. Whalum just put himself in the line of fire. Not because he heads a unique church and not because he thinks (or wants to believe) that he's the Jay-Z of the pullpit, but because of what he, as a "Christian"man, sat back and allowed to happen. Its very simple.

"Jesus said bring me that ass", alright. He'll have yours on a plate one day...Pastor.

Looks like the Tastee Diner messed with the wrong lesbians when they booted Aiyi’nah Ford and her partner Torian Brown from their restaurant at 2 a.m. on August 12th for embracing at the counter while waiting to give their waitress her tip. The Washington Blade reports, Ford and Brown were asked to “please take that outside,” by the diner’s manager. Ford then questioned whether the manager, identified as Paul, was serious in his request for them to leave. Paul said that he was serious, even as Ford pointed out a straight couple blatantly kissing in a nearby booth and wasn’t asked to leave the establishment. According to Ford, Paul “proceeded to say that this was a family establishment and that people are trying to eat, as though our embrace would make someone sick.”
Ford and Brown’s waitress then followed them outside to apologize and informed the couple incidents like this have happened before. Ford and Brown decided to take action and planned a “kiss-in” type protest to take place on Wednesday, August 19th. Ford, who is also a blog radio host, announced the protest details on her show. The protest consisted of the group eating, paying for their meals, and then engaging in an embrace by the counter. Twenty-five (25) supporters and local media showed up for the protest. Ford told the Blade, “when we arrived, they asked us to sit in the back. [The discrimination] is blatant, and they don’t even know what they’re doing. It’s tragic and sad.”
The protest went off without incident. Ford vows to continue to pursue her complaint with the Maryland Commission on Human Relations. As a result of this incident, Ford says, “we’ll be visible. That’s what’s gonna come from this at this point. That’s what we feel is best.”
Who else is pumping their fist for these ladies taking a stand? We know we are.
Tastee’s manager Laura Wilkes , spoke to media on camera and stated, “Tastee Diner is a family restaurant. And it doesn’t matter if you’re straight or if you’re gay. If you start going beyond the point of kissing and things start getting x-rated, we’re going to ask you to stop.”
X-rated? Hmmm. From the footage we saw, the encounter between Ford and Brown was hardly x-rated. But, we’ll allow you to be the judge.
In response to all this media attention, surveillance video from Tastee Diner was posted online to show the Ford and Brown embrace that took place on August 12th. ___________________________________________________

#BIG ASS BLUBERRY FAIL!!!!!

-I tried to do this as a link to youknowyoudeadazzwrong.com , but technology wasn't on my side with this one. Make sure you mosey on over there to see the comments and what not about the above hot ass mess.
-Now for my thoughts on the um, matter.

There is an epidemic in the black lesbian community. It will henceforth be known as the "Big, Tacky Ass, Old Head Stud Situation." Why are there so many big ass studs that dress like this? Why are they almost always over age 35. Clearly I missed the memo on how and why it's cool to dress like the ringmaster @ the damn Universoul Circus! I think a triple B is in order here: Boo, Bitch, Bye!
Now, be clear that I am not picking on the poor, heavyset, misguided fashion murderer above. Well not specifically. I am picking on the group that she belongs to. If you are a black lesbian, you can't honestly tell me that you haven't seen a real life member of this club and thought (or said) why is she wearing those royal blue dickie shorts and that damn yellow and blue tall tee? Why doesn't she get a better bra? WHYYYYYYYYYY???!!!!
It isn't going to stop. It probably will continue to get worse. So I guess I'm just going to have to suffer in silence on this one.
Yeah right! Every time I see this mess I will be laughing hard and loud. Hey, if you got the "nuts" to dress like that in public, then you outta have the wherewithal to handle being looked at like the science fair project you are. Period.
Yeah I said it... What?

I gambled...and lost.

It came to me today. I was at work looking around and something major occurred to me. 8+ years ago, I gambled my future on the hopes that a big company would, or even could, believe in me like I believed in myself. Today, I realized that, without a doubt, I made a huge mistake. I have been with the same company for over 8 years. When I started, I had some really big dreams. I worked my ass off to show and prove. Every dream they sold me to keep me, I bought. If anyone had told me that after almost 10 years of sacrifice in an attempt to live a dream through a company that I loved I would still be where I am, I would never have believed it. If anyone would have told me that I as my child approaches his 6th year of life on this earth that his own mother would have only taken him to the movies 3 times and to maybe 3 birthday parties because she works every weekend and almost every night, I would have never believed it. But today, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I have no one to blame but myself and no one can do anything about it but me.

And I'm going to do something about it right now. I cant waste another minute. I am 30 years old and I gotta make my next move my best move.

Yea, just felt like sharing

Watch how I do...

Two gay men kicked out of Chico's Tacos restaurant for kissing

By Andrew Kreighbaum and Darren Meritz / For the Sun-News

Posted: 07/09/2009 05:02:06 AM MDT

EL PASO -- Two gay men kissed at a Chico's Tacos restaurant, prompting guards to eject them and a police officer to endorse their ouster. Civil-rights lawyers say the security staff was out of line. Police, though, contend that a business such as a restaurant can refuse service to anybody, any time.
In all, five men were ordered to leave the restaurant. They say they were forced out by homophobic guards.
"It was a simple kiss on the lips," said Carlos Diaz de Leon, a gay man who was part of the group.
He called police at 12:30 a.m. June 29 because he said the guards and restaurant had discriminated against the group after two of his friends kissed in public.
The five men, all gay, were placing their order at the Chico's Tacos restaurant on Montwood when the men kissed. All five sat down, but the two guards at the restaurant told them to leave.
De Leon quoted one of the guards as saying he didn't allow "that faggot stuff" in the restaurant.
De Leon said they refused to leave and called police for help. He said an officer arrived about an hour later in response to calls from his group and the guards.
As they waited for police, the guards directed other anti-gay slurs at them, he said.
Already angry at the guards, de Leon and his group became angrier at the two police officers who arrived.
"I went up to the police officer to tell him what was going on, and he didn't want to hear my side," de Leon said. "He wanted to hear the security guard's side first."

Police declined to identify the officers who responded, but department spokesman Javier Sambrano described one officer as relatively inexperienced.
De Leon said the officer told the group it was illegal for two men or two women to kiss in public. The five men, he said, were told they could be cited for homosexual conduct -- a law the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional in 2003 in Lawrence v. Texas.
That same year, the El Paso City Council approved an ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation by businesses open to the public.
An assistant manager at Chico's Tacos declined to comment Wednesday, except to say the owners of the restaurant were out of town and could not be reached. An official with All American International Security, the firm contracted by Chico's Tacos to supply guards, said one member of the security crew was contacting a lawyer. He would say no more.
El Paso police Detective Carlos Carrillo said a more appropriate charge for what happened at Chico's Tacos would probably be criminal trespass.
"The security guard received a complaint from some of the customers there," Carrillo said. "Every business has the right to refuse service. They have the right to refuse service to whoever they don't want there. That's their prerogative."
Briana Stone, a lawyer with the Paso del Norte Civil Rights Project, disagreed.
She said the city anti-discrimination ordinance protects people on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation in public places. Perhaps more troubling, she said, was that the police officer chose not to enforce that ordinance and might have contributed to discrimination.
"This is such a blatant refusal to uphold the law on account of discrimination," she said. "The result is devastating. The Police Department is allowing that and even participating in it by refusing to enforce an anti-discrimination ordinance, which is what their job is."
Lisa Graybill, legal director for the ACLU of Texas, said that businesses can ask patrons to leave for lewd conduct, but that those standards would have to apply to all customers.
"If a straight couple wouldn't have gotten kicked out for it," she said, "a gay couple shouldn't."
The police officers involved did not file a report about the confrontation at Chico's Tacos. Carrillo said no report was made because officers thought the situation was under control and neither side requested a written account of the incident.
De Leon said he and his friends left the restaurant after an officer threatened to issue a citation for "homosexual conduct."

I CANT JUST SIT BACK...

Yesterday a well known lesbian couple around town their annual pool party. When I tell you these two are living nice, I mean just that. Their home is absolutely beautiful. Blessed, that's all I can say.

Anyways, I didn't got to the actual pool party because I had to work the plantation,of course. I did, however, go to the afterparty last night. What I MUST discuss is the fact that after the pool several of the party goers opted NOT to go home and wash they asses. They decided against putting on actual party clothes and came straight to the club in their swimwear.

HUH? Yeah. I know.

Now, I am not saying that everyone looked a fool. There were some pretty swim covers that looked like nice sundresses and such. That made a little more sense. However, I just didn't get the logic behind being at an actual club; a bar and grill, in a 2 piece bikini and and a fishnet cover. The only saving grace for me was the fact that the "young ladies" were not throwed off completely, due to the fact that all of their quick weaves and lace fronts were still in "perfect" condition. Cuz clearly, these chica's were not at the pool party to get wet. Oh no maam, you do not spend the amount of time in da booty shop that some of them obviously did, just to go to a swim party and, gasp, swim! Ohhh lawd, I...just...cant.

And the other thing. The after party was at this spot called 2 FOR 1 Bar and Grill. Its a straight spot that was basically rented out for the party. However, some of the straight regulars did not get the memo. So there where a few hetero couples sprinkled here and there. Looking at everybody like WUT IN THE SWEETBOOTY HELL???!!! Then, of course, there just HAD TO BE A DAMN SHOW. Cuz you now "we" just can't party and enjoy music and dance, "we" GOTS to watch people do bad Karaoke and lip sync to their favorite song. Oh yeah, and did I mention the guys that were trying to get their Soldier Boy on? Yep. They had created a song with a correspondng dance routine to go with it. Mid party, the music stops, and these dudes get on stage and announce that they have a new dance that we needed to learn. Yep. Sure did. I love it here.

Nik

I really needed this.

After sitting through yet another display of black women's ass being portrayed as the only meaningful part of their body ( i'm watching MTV Jams) in Drake's new video, I thought I had better feed my soul with something worthwhile. Quickly. For those of you not up on her, this is Hanifah Walidah. She...is... the Truth. She is not a conventional beauty or a conventional artist, but she is hot to death. Celibrate something different, and better. Listen to the lyrics, don't just check out the track. Definately GOole-worthy. Enjoy...

Nik

Yeah, I said it, and I'll say it again too. Will you?

One of the things that I have really been proud of accomplishing since I got out of my last disaster of a relationship is my newfound ability and desire to just listen. To be quite and burn what people say to me into my mind.That way I can form an educated response to what has been said to me and, more importantly, I can better understand where the speaker is coming from. Even if what they're saying is completely to the left of what I think or believe, if I listen intently, I at least have a chance of seeing their perspective. What I can not tolerate is when I'm dealing with people who say one thing then, when you repeat it to them for verification, they just move on to something else completely. That sh*t drives me crazy. I am a woman of my word. Now more than ever. If I said it once I will say it again, word for word. Right or wrong, I said it, i'll stand up for it. I keep meeting these people that either can not, or will not have the courage of their convictions. I mean, don't say sh*t you don't mean. It makes you look stupid. What's worse in my eyes is that it makes you look weak. Weak people tu tu turn me off! I think its becasue of the way Iwas raised. We weren't hella broke, but times got hard. Often. If our folks were always turning pussy every time sh*t got rough or constantly letting people pull their bitch card, maybe weakness wouldn't bother me as much. But it does. Oh well. So the moral of the story is this: when dealing with me please be real. If you're a weak person, come to me as such. Don't step to me like you all Boosie Bad Ass, only to have me find out MUCH later, you slick hollow when under pressure. This is not to say that i'm Lil Boosie myself, as I am clearly an emotional train wreck, but I will stand up for myself and what I believe. I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN IF I TRULY BELIEVE SOMETHING, I WILL NOT BITE MY TONGUE, AND IF I SAID IT ONCE YOU CAN BE SURE THAT I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, TO YOUR FACE.

I decided to write this because I am seeing an influx of Bitchassness in a specific area of the glbt community. That area being the "stud" demographic. Part of the reason this is so noticable is because of the unfortunate front that studs have put on for so long. For many of them, in the pursuit of what they believe is masculinity, the front of "hardness" and lack of emotion is so severe that it leaves the real personality lost and burning under the surface, just waiting on the chance to get out. To many studs it is though their false sense of masculinity is a kind of wall to hide behind. Touble is, walls fall down. Then what? whatever you're hiding is exposed for the world to see. Worse than that, that person that was trying to love them anyway, tyring to get past the shell may be gone. That's why it's always best to be real out the gate. There are no roles and no scripts. The sooner these studs stop believing the hype and see/show who they really are, the better off we will all be.

Sooo if you're a bitch, be that. If you're a big ol' softy, be that. Or whatever you are. JUST DO YOU. And be you from day one! NO Fronting, NO bull. Who has time to be making bitches over anymore? Who has time to be falling in love with one person then finding out that its not who they thought they fell in love with. Ugh! How about this:

S'il vous plaît les gens agissent votre âge, pas votre taille de chaussure!

Please and thank you.

I'm going to get off my soapbox ...for now.

this bullsh*t

So ummm, yeah. I came out of my house finally. I figured Pride was as good a time as any to step out and try and have some fun. Uh, I was sadly mistaken. I live in Memphis(most of the time), and the trouble with that is the fact that there aint sh*t EVER poppin'. Not from lack of effort, but from lack of f*cking support and overall hating b.s. Soooo many people have tried to do things, you know, create stuff for the fam to do. But mofo's dont support shit. The only thing that ever stays crunk is the gay club cuz you know the new booty's are gonna party no matter what. But if you're over 22, wut the hell are you supposed to do at the gay club? Babysit? Chaperone? Wut?! I can't stand this shit not one more pride. I'm putting Memphis on blast. From here on out. I am a native and I have the RIGHT to speak on this shit.

I am going out every night this pride week. I'm going to document this from beginning to end. This should get very interesting.

*Note* I have video of some of the foolishness from last nights "event". As soon as I get my Blackberry to stop timing out while i'm uploading the video, i'll post it on here. It is hilarious.

A Prime F*cking Example

This is what I'm talking about:
This was an article posted in the Memphis Flyer recently. There was an anti-discrimination measure up for vote by the county commission recently and here's what went down...
___________________________________________________________________


Discrimination Protections for Gays Voted Down in County Commission Committee
Posted by Bianca Phillips on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 3:56 PM
"There's nothing wrong with discrimination," said Shelby County Commissioner Wyatt Bunker, while addressing the county commission committee charged with a vote on an ordinance that would prevent discrimination toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender workers in Shelby County government.
Though audible gasps from the audience followed Bunker's statement, five other commissioners apparently agreed, as they voted down the ordinance in committee. The ordinance will still go to the full commission for a vote on Monday.
The original ordinance, proposed by commissioner Steve Mulroy, would protect Shelby County employees, workers with county contractors, and employees of large private businesses in unincorporated Shelby County.
Commissioners Deidre Malone and J.W. Gibson proposed an amendment to the ordinance removing protections for all but Shelby County government employees.
"We need to get our own house in order before we can start regulating other people," said Malone.
Gibson also had concerns about the cost of enforcing the ordinance, if passed.
"This will require time and more people," Gibson said.
But Mulroy disagreed, stating that no additional investigators would be needed in the county's human resources office.
"It's not like we're going to have investigators roving the hallways looking for discrimination problems," Mulroy said. "The [Equal Opportunity Employment] Commission investigates based on complaints, just like they already do with other issues of discrimination."
Religious convictions guided the votes of several commissioners, including Mike Carpenter and Bunker. Bunker blamed the ordinance on a "homosexual agenda" and compared protections for gays to "the seven deadly sins."
"Once [homosexuals] get their foot in the door, they push their way through society until [homosexuality] becomes the norm," said Bunker.
Supporters and opposition for the ordinance filled the committee meeting room. Brad Watkins with the Mid-South Peace & Justice Center pleaded with commission members to consider God’s love when using Christian faith to justify their opinion on the ordinance.
"Our faith is one of inclusion and love. We can't say that we love someone and then sit back and discriminate against them," said Watkins.
____________________________________________________________________

Umm excuse me, "there's nothing wrong with discrimination". what the f*ck?! Where they do that at? There's nothing wrong with it when you're not the one being discriminated against. Memphis, Tn baby. The place I was born and raised. And my mother wonders why I have my ass out in San Francisco every three weeks. Ok, religion. Chile, bye.
