i find it interesting that thoes who dont support hbcu's are always the first to say what they should or should not do.

Hampton U has come under fire from their stance on the business studnets "hair" code with no locs or cornrows. Many who did not attend black schools feel that they should support studnets who sport natrual hair. I guess since i have no issue with the rule, and having attended and taught at a black school i am not suprised.
Being natrual is a trendy, for some it might be a life style but i think a lot of folks its the latest trend and theya re following it. Now most schools are run by older black folks... older folks are not always the quickest to change... so it is not suprising that they have this code.
Many places in corporate america are still very consertive and some of these trendy hair styles are not accepted. That is not to say that they are right about it.. that is to say that they need to play the game to get what they want.

HBCU's are in the business of turning childern in to adults who can get a job once they graduate. I am sure HU is doing what they think is in the students best intrest to help them obtain gainful employment in the work place... Now the students do have options, they can transfer, wear a wig, change majors, or conform to what the university says.

it is not the earth shattering, life ending thing that some hair nazi make it out to be. But i guess since my hair wont ever be nappy, i just dont get it... which is fine...that makes life interesting....

HBUC'S are a great and wonderful thing.. and until you attend one you have no idea what it is like.

Life with Hank

For the past year my father has been mad at me for something crazy, well at least i think it is crazy.
Any way he finally let me out of the dog house. I forgot how much fun it was to spend with him. My parents are divorced and life since they seperated has been much better, most of the time. my parents dont really care for each other, which is cool because they live about 800 miles apart. While i love my mother dearly and would do any thing for her, there is nothing like a woman's relationship with her father. I was Daddy's lil girl up until i was 18... which was all gravey but something happend when i hit 18 and our relationship has been rocky ever since.
maybe its because we are too much alike, we at times will go years with out speaking, which at the time was fine with me.
But this last time really chapped my butt. It was something that i got blamed for because i am the eldest and currently make the most money. I guess because my brother has my nephew he was off the hook. But he made it seem like we went out of our way to hurt him. Which was not the case...

But i have made it out of the dog house, and life with Hank is all gravy again.

My Obversations in the District

Why do people wear white tights with black shoes..
in whos mind does that shit match?

why do people crowd around the metro doors and wont let you get off, and get mad when you knock them down?

Why do black women wear white hose?!

Why must we jump and scream at the seeing eye dog who is stilling there calmly?

This has been a great year of loss in the black community.
From Luther, to John H. Johnson, to Rosa Parks and the latest Richard Pryor.

No words can discribe the emptiness i feel. Although i didnt know Richard personally, i am a lover of comdey *i wish i was funny like that* Richard told it like it was and didnt bite his tougne.
He was really the first, if it had not been for richard we would not have many of the comics we have today black or white.

Richard i know will be missed by his family but even more he will be greatly missed by his millions of fans.
The world is a lil less funny now.... and there is no comedy in that.
*cries*

Rest in Peace Richard Rest in Peace

That New Car Smell

Well as most of my friends know and my coworkers i have been shopping for a car. It has not been easy because of things i brought on my self. But any way i got a new car. I didnt want to buy one because i didnt want a car note i was enjoying living carnote free... but oh well... I have a white '05 Malibu v6... that puppy got some pick up lol.
I think i am really going to enjoy my car.... I can say this... car buying is no fun at all... i need to rent me some one to go with me next time i buy a car lol.
Yall wanna help me with the note lol...
The Year of the EX @ Homecoming

this homecoming was the year of the ex... i saw all of them but one...
it was funny to me... the one that is from the islands still makes me weak in the knees with is accent but thats about it.... it was good to see him and know he is doing well back at home with his own biz..
The next one is the one i dated after graduation... nice buy but dating me and every one else... i liked him but i was not trying to share at all... he kept asking why i stopped calling.. i am suprised he missed me calling cause he had a tour of bootay to deal with lol... he is doing well for himself and i am happy to hear that.. he was still trying to holla... sorry you had you chance...
and to the grand daddy of them all my first bf, the one who dumped me cause i was fat *i was fat when he started dating me* i saw him and felt nothing.. great feeling... have not felt any thing for him in years, not even anger, i heard he got married... i was happy for him... he got a lil chunky too... that is just too ironic for me .... i wish i could have met his wife.. but oh well.. and funny thing is he asked about the one from the island *we all had class together he didnt know i was with the one from the island* that added to the amusement of the weekend....
All and All i had a gret time at homecoming as i usually do... i have matrued and it shows... i am not sure if like it though.. but i guess at 32 i need to act like the adult i want my family to treat me as lol
I love tuskegee and miss it dearly, it was some of the best years of my life, some of the hardest also. Tuskegee made into a woman, it taught me so much, much more than just the book knowledge that i gained. I know i can make it any where in the world having gone to tuskegee.
Homecoming is just an a reinforcement of that every year.

Halloween and Uber Holy Folks

Now i find it interesting that the ultra relgious black folks are so down for not celebrating halloween, which is the eve of all saints day, and it is touted at the "Devil's Holiday". But they will celebrate the hell of of Christmas, which is laden with pagen symbols.

Halloween is a fun time for fat kids like me... i loved free candy. I had fun dressing up, i was not worshiping any devil in doing so... My Pastor at home used to talk about how black folks get bent out of shape over this holiday. Its not the devils holiday or a pegan holiday. Infact the high holy day for pegans is Dec. 22nd the night of the winter soclists, and pegans are not devil worshipers either... but i digress....

What frosts my cookies is how people do not read for themselves about these holiday and just start spouting off bs.....

*walking off to get me some free candy*

My sistas

WHY ARE WE WEARING WHITE TIGHTS WITH BLACK SHOES
why are we wearing white tights period?

Who the hell told yall that was cute and it matched?
Black women say NO to white hose unless your a nurse... and most of them wear pants now any way....

JUST SAY HELL NO TO WHITE HOSE......

Wednesday, October 12, 2005

ok something else that frosts my cookies....
I am from chicago
born and raised
18 years str8 then college in alabama and 4 more years of chicago
i now live in Baltimore, MD, work in Washington, DC

I love the Bears, hate Greenbay
I love the White Sox, dont really care for the Cubs... *i am a southsider*

I LOVE MARSHELL FIELDS
ok i hear some ugly rumore that Macy's is going to change the name of Marshell Fields to
*hack* Macy's

WTF? Marshell Fields is not only a great store but is a historic landmark
Marshell Feilds was one of the first department stores, and one of the pioners of customer returns.
Along with that the State Street Store *a must visit for any tourist to Chicago* is a Historic Landmark *as is the Carson's Store 2 blocks down on State Street*

Now its bad enough the Fields family sold MF to Dayton Hudson which then became the Target Corp. and they turned around and sold all the department stores *all dayton hudsons became MF* to the May company who owns Lord and Taylor *another store i love but MF is my favorite*
And Federated which owns Macy's bought May. Ok if your still with me check this out.
MF is a midwest store like Hechts is the DC/MD/VA store and Dillards is in the south.
But L&T is every where as is Bloomies. In Chicago a few of our malls have MF, L&T and Bloomies
so are they going to close 2 of the anchor stores because they are all named Macy's now?
or will you have 3 very large Macy's stores.
Will they contiue to make frang mints *a must eat from MF*?
Will they be sold in all Macy's stores?

I am just sick about this name change. Macy's is doing a great disservice to MF, L&T, Bloomies, Hectch, the list goes on and on.
Soon Macy's will be the only store.. and their clothes suck the big one.

Maybe if i was a thin woman i would not care but Macy's line for the "Fluffy Diva" leaves a lot to be desired.
I am beyond pissed at this point... MF is an institution, leave it the hell alone *pouts*
Ok as most of you all know i am a gemini, and by nature i love to talk. I have a passion for the gift of gab.
Well i love the internet and chatting with people. And i love to chat with folks from all over the world. At least i did until it seems like every single male in africa wants to marry me.
Now i know i am not ugly but i am not Halle foine either...
It is not flattering nor is it wanted attention from these men. And its not just from one country in africa its seems to come from several from northern Africa to the south.
It is beyond irritating when they think that they got something black men in the USA dont have. WTF ever.... i dont want a long distance relationship let alone with some one half across the freaking world....
Good lawd what do you think i am going to help you get your green card? Uh in the words of Whitney HELL TO THE NAW you are not using me to get to the USA.

Besides i am dating some one, which does not seem to satifsy them. They try to tell me how they are better than my sweetie. Well thats when they go on Igg.... but my ignore list is getting full *laffs*.

I just had to vent and tell some body lol

I have had issues with my hair for many years. Because of my mixed bloodline my hair is different than that of most black folks. My hair is soft, thin and naturally curly/wavy. I love alot of natrual hair do's but with the lack of thickness to my hair i cant wear them.
I used to relax my hair but my hair could not take the color and the relaxer... so color won out.

I have started a hair journal to try to love my hair again... lol we shall see if it works.....

just added some new pics to my hair journal...

I am a displaced Chicagoan
I live in Baltimore and I work in DC
now i must admit that i thought Bmore aka charm city aka harm city was a burb of DC aka Chocolate City

i have found that its not... the two cities are very similar and they HATE each other... which i dont understand
its worse than the southside vs westside in Chicago

And what is worse is the folks from PG County right outside of DC that want to dog out Bmore
but they live in the 12th Ring of Hell.....

I find my self defending Bmore... a city i dont really care for but its ok to live here for now...

Both places are GHETTO as hell and are very much the same, ok dc has a better public transit system than bmore but other than that and the higer than hell cost of living in dc
they are THE FUCKING SAME
i really need DC and PG folks to get off their high horse and put the crack pipe down and realize they are not better than Bmore

I need Bmore folks to put the pipe down and learn how to fucking read... but thats another rant...

This is for Char Scott an amazing woman who left this earth too soon. Char was one of my sorority sisters, she was the admin for our sorority, but she was so much more than that. She was the sweetest, nicest person i even knew in Gamma Sig. She is the reason i am still active. She will be dearly missed by her family, by our sorority and by me.

Rest in Peace Char
Rest in Peace

weight... it has always been a touchy subject....
i know i dont write too much in my blog about my thoughts on stuff but today i was moved to

its not easy being a fat person in the USA.... espcially a fat woman...
i know thin women have their issues... but i dont think they can fully understand the pain, and tormenet most fat kids went through. And that pain runs deep.... some of us over come it
some of us don't... and while folks think its funny and cute to laugh, poke fun, and dog out fat people... let me tell you that shit aint funny...
just because a person is larger than normal does not mean we dont have feelings.... so you can keep your lil snide ass comments to your self...
I personall have over come the "ugly" self image that was imprinted on my brain as a child because i was a fat kid... i did not start fat... i was thin once.. i think it was a wends. in 1980 lol
but i have spent most of my life fat... and until i was about 25 i was ashamed and felt like i owed the world an apology for it... i could have easily killed my self and been much happier
but that was not the answer to my problems.... I had to learn to accept me for me.... the Fluffy Diva i am *my brother calls me that lol *

So in a world who is dying to be thin.... we all need to take a step back and relaize its not that deep and to be comfy with the skin we are in... because big, small and all that is inbetween we all need to love who we are....

sorry for rambling on and on lol
