Rantings of an SBM

Friday … YAH!!!!

  • I truly love ignorance music.  Since I’ve got Rhapsody, i have access to an unlimited supply of it … so this has been good.  Sadly, I think years of this stuff is literally starting to rot my brain.  I think I have finally exposed myself to too much of it where it’s seeping into my pores and doing damage … so while R&B is stll banned in my presence … I am going to go back to conscious rap.  Suggestions are welcomed.
  • I’m thinking about renting my place and moving into DC.  I just think a young virale male like me should be balling in the city instead of chilling in the suburbs.  Maybe Adam’s Morgan, then night will be spent at Tryst … everyday.
  • I went to Atlanta for business, and besides the exception of one night spent chilling … I hated it.  I’m a little turned off by the city now and realize my infactuation was back in my “club and party all the time phase”.  I am still impressed by the relatively low cost of living and nice downtown … but … might be expanding the relocation search to include a couple more cities.
  • Recruiting events suck when you have to set up, man, and break down everything yourself …
  • I think I might be picking up some unhealthy habits that I need to kick soon.  Getting dumber and lazier by the day … not a good look for someone whose goal in life is to take over the world business wise.
  • I might stop writing posts everyday.  This sh*t is a whole lot of work and I got a whole lot of work otherwise.  I think I’m going to have to find a happy medium … unless people want to start donating money and then I’ll feel better … come on … you know you got it …
  • I think I am coming to terms with the fact I will probably remain unmarried until I’m 30.
  • I rarely ever make decisions from the gut (it takes me about 15 minutes to choose toothpaste) and when I do they usually go bad.  Trying to think if I need to learn to live by instinct more … or if I need to cut out these “by the gut” decisions all together.
  • While The Single Sister’s who Speak and The Comeback Girl both are making a big push for making lists of the qualities they want in a significant other.  Well … I have already said that I think the list shouldn’t be more than 3 … and I stick by that.  I used to have an overly elaborate point sytem that essentially could rank a woman based on a million and one things.  Problem is … 75% are actually irrelevant to my happiness and all they did was unfairly disqualify a lot of women.  It essentially made me a bigot … kind of like a racist.  There are some basic things what anyone should avaoid (addiction to crack comes to mind) … but I don’t want to create a list for this magical woman … especially since I am convinced I won’t know what I’m looking for until I find her.  But hey … that’s just me.
I’m good … now you
RANT!

  1. 1) So 1:30 am on thursday, Im finishing my Nursing Care plan, and I smell smoke. I go outside the dormitory, and on the next mountain across from my school, there is a fire. So smoke and ash is everywhere, along with deers running across campus to escape. In my head, I am also worried about the mountain lion, that was spoted last week, deciding to pop up.After I call a few people on campus who were asleep, I went to my room to pack bare essentials: Nursing Books, Nursing kit, Nursing Uniform, Lab top, shoes, and a few clothes. Looked at my stuff, and prepared to face the fact everything would go up in flames. 2:30 ish, walking towards my car to put my stuff in it so i can roll, then im told..All students must return to your dorm, no one is allowed to leave.(WTF)..what an evacuation plan! Anyway, fire is out, I'm alive!!!

    2) Where are all these southern California fires coming from, my goodness

    3) Although information about the fire was on the news, radio, internet, pod cast, newspaper..got to love how my so called father didn't even call me to make sure I was ok. Although I shouldn't be surprise, haven't talked to him in over a month.

    4) As president of an on campus organization, it pains me to see how much members do not actively participate. All the burdent is on my shoulders, giving me on on of two options. 1) stop caring so much and just do me. 2) Put in more work, accept the fact that its a one woman show, and make things work. I will do number 2, as long as my body doesn't crash and burn.

    5) Why are the black students at this school so divided, considering how few of us there are. Please stop sneering, and smile.

    6) I will be the only black nursing student to graduate class of 2011…sad

    7) I found another flaw with Friends with Benefits. Having to fake it, to make sure you don't hurt feelings..and lying about it being satisfying. That is one friend who benefits are officially revoked.

  2. Tiara says:

    1. I have to discard all of my bedroom furniture this weekend and purchase all new stuff next week(with full reimbursement but still)…this is going to suck.

    2. I will be homeless for the next week while Orkin takes over my home, this is also going to suck seeing how I will be forced to stay with my mom…whom I love dearly but can't stand for more than a few hours at a time.

    3. I bought a new computer but I will be taking it back this Sunday and exchanging it for something else since this one isn't exactly what I want in a PC…I don't know why I ever bought a Dell in the first place…I knew better.

    4. I'm tired of spending money.

    5. I have so much to do and so little time and money to do it.

    6. Being a black women who has loved black men from birth, I think it's time to give my loyalty to another. It's time for me to start dating white men…my disappointment with my brothers has hit an all time low and I'm tired of selling myself short.

    7. I chucked my dating list a month ago and I'm never looking back…I think I'm going to just go with my gut and keep my options open.

    8. This is going to be a hellacious weekend of chores and responsibilities…I can't wait until I can just exhale.

  3. 1. Listening to the new Robin Thicke records makes me want to dry the "other side."

    2. I was about 35 minutes late to work…. when it rains, drivers panic.

    3. Chemistry test to study for and a paper next week.

    4. I've been addicted to blogs while on the job. I need a life.

    5. I got a 49% on my Chemistry Lab test. How is that possible? I've always been the "smart" girl.

    6. Dieting, dieting… but I'm sure my bathing suit will thank me.

    7. Miami countdown: 3 weeks.

    @SBM: I like Lil' Brother, Common, the Roots…. Someone at VSB recommended Pacific Division to me the other day. Try those out.

  5. That was a serious rant SBM. I feel you on the making a post everyday, thats why I have a team. Sometimes you just have other sh*t to do.
    *I'm excited, my very special lady is coming to visit me today.
    *I hate work, aaahhhhh!!!!!! had to get that out
    *I need more people to check out MrSwagger.com, it's a movement so its necessary
    *I relized my lunch for today sucks, I don't know what to eat.

  6. Quark says:

    1. I had a meeting at work yesterday that started after 7pm.
    2. I have to learn how to use SQL. Bad idea.
    3. I need to move and soon. I feel like the only black person in Eastern Market! I think I've found a new place to live at last though.
    4. Where are all the black blokes in DC? I was well excited before coming since the city is meant to be 60% black yet I haven't met ANY so far! I'm working and living in the wrong places dammit!

  7. Indiana Jones says:

    First, Happy Friday!

    -I would just like to mention yesterday's post kinda pissed me off. I didnt have time to comment yesterday but I will now. I love sports! Especially football. You can catch me at the local bar( which has a mentionable amount of black folk) either by myself or with some male friends of mine on any given sunday. On monday nite, I am at the club for Monday nite football. Maybe thats why I have a lot of guy friends.idk. There's a show on TBS called my boys and the main character is exactly who I am minus the skin color.

    - I met this guy this year in april, we talked for a while and then he dropped off the face of the earth for 3 months. No contact, no text, nothing. Sunday he sent me an email saying that the reason he disappeared was b/c he was getting stronger feelings for me than he wanted to have and just didnt know what to do. I dont buy it. I think he's full of shit but he's everything I want in a guy. I guess I might give it a whirl. I might need some advise on this one from the guys on here.

    - Today I have absoultly no patients in the clinic I work at, but they made me come in anyway. wtf, Its raining and I wanna go home.

    I think thats the most I've ever posted at once. i'm done.

  8. I got ALOT going on. ALOT. between writing, my blog, my work, and other business stuff. I am not really sleeping. But thats cool too. Passion is my pillow.

    i have no complaints. im grateful for everything as always. And yes Akua, Santa is bringing us a man. Amen. :)

  9. Shelia says:

    No Rants today—except it seems like it's taking me forever to finish edits on this doggone book…but once I finish a sista gets another check so it's all worth it.

    I'm happy that Mustang Sally is back in commission after being down for 2 weeks. I haven't been 2 weeks without a car since college.

    P.S. – Nothing wrong with lists. Ask for what you want and be specific. Be sure to list things that are negotiable because nobody's perfect :)

  10. Shelia says:

    Indiana Jones – ask yourself–"Do you really want a man who pulls a disappearing act? What will he do when the going gets touch–life isn't always a bed of roses? Would you be able to handle the backlash if you developed feelings for the dude and he pulled another whodini act?"

  11. Indiana Jones says:

    @ shelia- yeah I thought about that…

  12. Peyso says:

    1) I dont usually rant, I just like to add lil comments to tons of sites that I read.
    2) I broke my bed, that sucks.
    3) I think my football career is actually over.
    4) I'm ready to move out my pops crib.
    5) How come I'm always broke a week after payday?

    That is all.

  13. Miss Cheira says:

    I stumbled on your blog, good stuffs. I like that you're encouraging rants, and because I certainly have one.
    ~ Out of the kindness in my heart I let my sister borrow my car for work since hers isn't working and because I can walk to work. Now my car smells like an ashtray and I can't seem to get any errands run in a timely manner. She also neglected to tell me that this would be for EIGHT WEEKS as opposed to the one or two I was lead to think it was. And did I mention that I'm still expected to put gas in the car?

  14. westindianladee says:

    ~So a few of us got the boot from work, this economic turn-down has hit home really hard…
    ~Am I now forced to take the entrepreneurial route that I've been doing on the side?
    ~I know I won't be getting a steady paycheck, but all I seem to want is enough to cover the bills and run my own biz. Where is this twisted view coming from?
    ~Am I being delusional? So many questions, so many paths to take, I need a moment of clarity aka sign from God, LOL

    @Commenters: Does anyone know if Akua (sp?) found her sister? I've been MIA a lil bit.

    Happy Friday everyone!!!

  15. Tiara says:

    @Westindianladee: No she is still missing.

  16. 1. The on/again/off/again has managed to ruin my day yesterday (just AFTER we talked about him being good…go figure..lol)

    2. Had a lunch date yesterday with a Jake Gylenhall look-a-like, it went well..next weekend possibly heading up to NYC for the halloween parade.

    3. I realized I'm tired of the Md/Dc area, on to bigger and warmer things SOON.

    4. I have another date on Sunday, but I'm really not looking foward to it…dating is tiring.

    5. I would never trade in my platonic male friends in for more self-absorbed female friends. At least when I discuss problems with them, they listen, instead of turning the subject back to themselves.

    6. Some people expect that just b/c of my financial status, that I would be living more extravagently..been there, done that…it's not what's in my garage, or how many bedrooms or square feet that I have..it's about what I could possibly have, but realize there's no need for a lot of it.

  17. CPTCallamity says:

    1. I am in my early 30s and not married. No problems here. Too lazy to "go out and look for a girlfriend" so I tend to my hobbies. Sad existence isn't it?

    2. I've thought about other cities too…Raleigh, Charlotte are the only two off top I can think of. ATL sounds oversaturated and used up.
    I'd like to see Chicago to see how that is.

    3. I wonder how many times I'm going to get single moms mad at me for my decision not to date them. I guess I'm "limiting myself" and becoming a bigot but for some reason I don't feel guilty.

    4. Friday night. Beer. Drunken Stupor. Wake up. Yay Saturday.

    @Quark: How the hell do you not meet black folks in DC? Gottdang, where are you, upper northwest (the section that wanted to secede from DC)?I can't walk out my door or throw a rock in any direction without hitting a black person.

  18. Humble_One says:

    Rants

    1) We need a bailout of all these kids born in the crack-era and post crack-era.

    2) I am tired or scared drivers. If you are scared to drive take the bus or a cab.

    3) I am sick of all these executives, politicians, and financial wizards. What does it take for you to understand that your greedy, selfish, and gangster ideology does not work?

  19. Humble_One says:

    @CPTCallamity
    "I am in my early 30s and not married. No problems here. Too lazy to “go out and look for a girlfriend” so I tend to my hobbies. Sad existence isn’t it?"

    Don't feel bad. I feel similar. I thought that I was the only one that saw "go out and look for a girlfriend" as work.

    " I wonder how many times I’m going to get single moms mad at me for my decision not to date them. I guess I’m “limiting myself” and becoming a bigot but for some reason I don’t feel guilty."

    They probably had the chance before but didn't want to have anything to do with you. You shouldn't feel guilty.

  20. "They probably had the chance before but didn’t want to have anything to do with you. You shouldn’t feel guilty."

    i agree with this..and i apolgize for this in advance. but you have a right to ask for what you bring. I mean hey at 33..i have my rathers too. I made good decisions, and I'd like him to come with a "clean plate" in regards to kids too. And thats not to knock any single mama's out there cause your baby(s) are precious gifts from God. But I want to be blessed with someone who made the same decisions i made in that regard…marriage, committment yokedness. etc. And i can say that ALL of the men i've dated with the exception of one (even over 30) didn't have kids. Now it could mean the men i attract have problems in the reproduction dept..but i deeply rebuke that message amen.

  21. true says:

    MY RANT

    EFF BROKE..I'M POOR

    POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

    I GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

    DANG SBM..IF YOU DONT MIND ME ASKING..HOW OLD ARE YOU..IM 30 (THIS DEC) and not married (tho I was between the ages of 21 and 24, does that count)

    Funke…number 4 of your rants..AWW MAN..I hate that ..I hate it with a passion..how rude

    Indiana- post number 7….umm..he's lying…point blank..if he had feelings for you..he wouldn't disappear …AT ALL

    quark..post number 6

    U street in DC, largo/upper marlboro area those are a couple places (I can think of) where you can find black folk

  22. true says:

    cpt

    yes..u are limiting yourself..but you are entitled..not mad..not at all….

    *yes im a single mom..and no I wouldn't blame men for not dating me…their lost*

  23. CPTCallamity says:

    Humble and Comeback:
    True dat. It always comes up and then the women take it as my supreme rebuking of all things motherly. They even think I hate children which is far from the truth. At least I am honest and forthright with it. I've given it a try a few times…it sucks. Regardless of if I'm over 30, I know there has to be women out there who aren't divorced with kids or the didn't have a kid all willy nilly (OOW) and now jump on the superwoman mantra. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so CPT Callam rolls alone.

    Truf be told…a lot of women didn't want anything to do with me because I think too much (yeah I tend to be geeky). So ya know…on with the show.

  24. true says:

    FUNKE I Meant number 5 of your rants..not 4..number 5 ..where you talk to ur friend or vent and they dont want to hear it..they want to talk about themselves

  25. "*yes im a single mom.."

    is this where your soft gentle side comes from?

  26. Humble_One says:

    @Comeback – can't help yourself huh?

  27. @CPTCallamity: ". I’ve thought about other cities too…Raleigh, Charlotte are the only two off top I can think of. ATL sounds oversaturated and used up.

    I’d like to see Chicago to see how that is."

    Charlotte's been on my brain too for the past year. Thinking of going there for grad school.

  28. CPTCallamity says:

    "you have a right to ask for what you bring"

    Pretty much sums it up.

  29. @ hummy..i mean all that sweetness bubblin over ALL the time. I was just thinking it comes from all that mommy and me time at chuckie cheese..carry on.

  30. akua says:

    @westindian: my sister is still missing today makes 26 days.

  31. Jac says:

    Hi all….
    Comeback-I can't imagine it's like Satan spawning children.

  32. I'm sending Jac, Comeback and Humble some matches for their gasoline drawers.

  33. "I’m sending Jac, Comeback and Humble some matches for their gasoline drawers."

    @ nick..i just prayed that spirit off of me and Jac. its done. we are dope girl fresh and free again.

  34. @comeback: "@ nick..i just prayed that spirit off of me and Jac. its done. we are dope girl fresh and free again."

    Yes girl, shake it off. :) .. Yaw can't be starting stuff today. ;)

  35. rap suggestions: THE BREAKS is mandatory in your collection

    i would suggest detroit in your "search" for a new place, but unless you're IT there aint no jobs and every body is broke

    i feel you on the set up and break down thing. I'm an author and it's easy to set up – almost fun, but i hate breaking down. it's so much work and i'm already tired as all get out.

    dor the dumber and lazier start taking fish oil pills. it perks up the brain.

    ha ha. I came to the realizatin i ain't getting married until I'm 40, so maybe you'll get that 30 and get married, or maybe you'll end up like me still waiting.

    cut the by gut decision

    oh i got lots of lists of what i want, but i'm coming to the realization that i ain't gonna get shyte. men here in detroit aren't looking for a lady in the streets but a freak n the bed. They just want a freak all the time who's dumb as all get out. i think i'm going to do you and be convinced i won't know what i'm looking for until i find him

  36. Humble_One says:

    @SylviaHubbard
    "i would suggest detroit in your “search” for a new place, but unless you’re IT there aint no jobs and every body is broke"

    It's so uncertain here it's crazy. We are going on a 10year recession. I know mad people with degrees looking for work. What IT jobs are available in Detroit?

    "oh i got lots of lists of what i want, but i’m coming to the realization that i ain’t gonna get shyte. men here in detroit aren’t looking for a lady in the streets but a freak n the bed. They just want a freak all the time who’s dumb as all get out. i think i’m going to do you and be convinced i won’t know what i’m looking for until i find him"

    I am from Detroit and I am not looking for a dumb freak. I have no time for that.

  37. westindianladee says:

    @Akua – I'll keep praying for you and your family

    Okay everyone, I'm about to literally pull my hair out, this damn spyware is getting on my freakin' nerves!!!!! I went out and bought what I needed, installed it, and the damn thing is still there!

    As far as the topic goes. I'm 25 and not sure if I want kids, but I know I don't want your baby mama drama, and if you're a deadbeat/absent father – forget about it! That is one of my biggest pet peeves if not THE biggest.

    That was my real rant. Gotta reboot for the umpteenth time

  38. true says:

    i dont know what you mean comeback..and quite frankly..i dont give a spit

    help yourself to that ;)

  39. Humble_One : you're not in the city anymore. i'm speaking of the ones that are still here. must be in the water cuz i've known guys that were great before coming here and then its like they get possessed like scanners.

  40. true says:

    ooh..getting ganged up on on a blog

    how mature

    how's this for mature

    SUCK IT JAC AND COMEBACK :)

  41. Tiara says:

    Doing the most much?

    Well I'm a single mother and I don't feel bad about a guy not wanting to date me, another man's child isn't for everyone…hell even the ones I date don't meet my kid…she's more deserving than that.

    As far as the clean plate goes, hmpt…I only feel that it's a bit hypocritical b/c I chose to live up to my responsibilities instead of abort them…not everyone who declares "a clean plate" can say that. My daughter has been my supreme blessing…no prospect of a man could ever replace that. It's really weird I tell ya…she has brought me more love, joy and stability to my life than any man has even come close to offering so to each his own.

    Peace and love black people..

    rant

    i hate havin high cholesterol..i want to eat pizza and buffalo wangs too

    >:(

  43. "I only feel that it’s a bit hypocritical b/c I chose to live up to my responsibilities instead of abort them…not everyone who declares “a clean plate” can say that"

    well…i've never sent anybody's kids "up the river"..so its a personal choice and a personal decision. MY personal choice doesn't take ANYTHING away from other single mothers who are doing it. I came from a single mom..but i decided a long time ago..that i wanted to close that loop.

  44. Tiara says:

    Don't get me wrong…having a man is also nice…but the world won't end if I don't get mine until later in life.

    …surprisingly white men don't have these hang ups…hmmm, yeah i've really been missing out.

  45. Tiara says:

    Comeback I'm not attacking you…but I do know men and women who make this single parent thing as issue as if they've been so responsible in life when I personally know that they haven't.

    I'm not knocking responsible adults…but a pregnancy can happen to any of us…not backing down from the challenge takes a lot of strength and prayer for guidance…and not all kids born to single parent go unplanned…some men just have a change of heart…what a great race of men we're raising these days.

  46. ".but i decided a long time ago..that i wanted to close that loop."

    and it really for me was a really easy decision..since none of the women i know ever got pregnant "on accident"..but thats another blog for another day.

  47. "well…i’ve never sent anybody’s kids “up the river"

    Me neither… I'm not knocking anybody for their choices made, but I prefer someone with no children. I don't have kids…

    I know plenty of single mamas DOING it, and of course, they all love their children, but none of them are really happy. I too, want to break the cycle.

    "Humble_One : you’re not in the city anymore. i’m speaking of the ones that are still here. must be in the water cuz i’ve known guys that were great before coming here and then its like they get possessed like scanners."

    I still stay in Detroit. I haven't left. Yet.

  50. Firstly I agree with Nick. And its not really about the single mommy's vs. the single non mom's". I really believe everybody's got their something. I can honestly say that I think I had one of the MOST "challenged" father's ever. I'm working through it though. With that said nobody can claim a perfect life. My mother I believe was one of the best single parents known to man. She over compensated like a mad woman-because she knew the disadvantages of having a disinterested parent. That would rather have the mother than the kid. luckily my mother chose me over him. But his karma comes in the form of now he;s ready and i don't even really know him.

    moreover….

    "and not all kids born to single parent go unplanned…some men just have a change of heart…what a great race of men we’re raising these days."

    I take exception to this. Which is a blog topic all its own..I know some of the warning signs my mother had. They reared their head soon after I was born and up until i was three. There WERE NO daddy surprises. I really wish people would get that. People ARE WHO THEY ARE. You either listen or deal with it on the back end. Its a harsh truth and most people know i don't mince my words. bottom line you give the party…you gotta pay the band. Thats in the people you choose to love, the decisions you make with your money, the things you buy, the children you raise…it goes on and on. And it don't stop.

    ..to the body rock…im ready for happy hour ..LOL

  51. then you must not be drinking the water, LOL.

  52. "People ARE WHO THEY ARE. You either listen or deal with it on the back end."

    AMEN! I do believe there are warning signs that we often pass up. Thanks for that gem, comeback.

  53. "AMEN! I do believe there are warning signs that we often pass up. Thanks for that gem, comeback."

    advantanges to rollin with the celibates…you can "hear the noise" over a eager "coochie".

    @Sylvia Hubbard – No disrespect. The women here are just as bad as the men.

  55. Tiara says:

    Comeback I could argue back and forth with you about the subject but you don't listen w/o planning your course of attack so it would be a pointless and futile exchange…also never having known anyone who got pregnant "on accident"…which is completely bullshit btw…they probably just chose not to confide in you for obvious reasons, further strengthens that you are the listening w/o doling out self-perceived "advice and knowledge"…if only life were that easy…but if it was then we'd all have the life we want and wouldn't be sitting around the house at 33 on a Friday night asking Santa for a man…but we all have our somethings right.

    Have a good weekend all.

    I was married…with 2 kids..marriage aint work out..me and hubby are great people. no cheating none of that happened..just weren't meant for eachother..neither of us had "warning signs" cause we were both good..just our personalities aint match

    what happens then

    what "cycle" are you breaking in this circumstance?

    what about those women who were on birth control..who got pregnant anyway…and chose not to abort based on what someone might say about them or how society might look at them

    Life just CANNOT BE PLANNED..no matter how much or how hard you try

    I thought I was goin to be with my hubby forever…but..that didn't happen

    im not goin to look at me being a single mom as a "mistake" I made or consider it an inadequacy or feel "dumb" cause I "ignored" the warning signs (lol @ that)

    spit happens

    thats life….there cannot be no such thing as a "mistake" free life, a totally planned one

    and for some of you here to sit there and think you are somewhat "better" because you THINK you have it all figured out well..that actually is pretty ignorant.

    Shoot..I know married women who's husbands dont do anything now..started off "perfect" and ended up gettin tired of whatever and dipped..I seen it too many times..witnessed it with my own eyes…no warning signs before…people can just change overnight

    and I know some extremely great divorced parents (my ex and I included)

    @Comeback – I have seen too many women have babies by blatant losers. I am willing to bet a significant number of people don't even consider integrity, responsibility, etc. when considering who they choose to marry or have kids with.

  58. "advantanges to rollin with the celibates…you can “hear the noise” over a eager “coochie"

    Girl, hear? My head is completely clear. Now if they are talking something I don't like, please kick rocks to the nearest exit. I no longer am controlled by the goodness of the D.

  59. You right Tiara i dont have the slightest clue about any of this shyt…you're a smart cookie.

    "but if it was then we’d all have the life we want and wouldn’t be sitting around the house at 33 on a Friday night asking Santa "

    yep…that is why I mulit-task the bon bon;s..how did you know LOL.

    have a good one too.

  60. "and for some of you here to sit there and think you are somewhat “better” because you THINK you have it all figured out well..that actually is pretty ignorant"

    I don't think anyone has stated that they think they are BETTER than anybody.

  61. "@Comeback – I have seen too many women have babies by blatant losers. I am willing to bet a significant number of people don’t even consider integrity, responsibility, etc. when considering who they choose to marry or have kids with."

    Hummy..i agree. We aren't looking for the "right things" just the "right now".

    @ Nick

    "I don’t think anyone has stated that they think they are BETTER than anybody."

    im not really sure she understands. I take the "attacks" as you're doing something right. If you're life is working like it is–then fyck what we say. IT WORKS FOR YOU. All the little snide attacks when we're being truly honest is a reflection of a lot of hopelessness to me. How the he#ll do you keep doing the same thing..thinking the same way..and expect it to be differnt. take some responsibility. (ie…you call everybody on here "annoying" and bougie and unrealsitc..but you're broke all the time???? SAY WHAT connect some da#mn dots)

    If i don't get to the dealership tomorrow to change my oil (thats on like -12 days)..i may not have a fukin engine tomorrow. Is it some british dudes fault. NO ITS MINE.

  62. "How the he#ll do you keep doing the same thing..thinking the same way..and expect it to be differnt. take some responsibility."

    Please repeat that… Here's the mantra from my pastor:

    "To get something you've never had, do something you've never done."

  63. i ate a cheese burger yesterday..if a eat a dam#n cheeseburger EVERYDAY for six weeks…will i really have the tight @zz body i want…or do I blame Ronald McDonald.

    **sbm block my ip dude.**

  64. SMH at "Tiara" 80s was on to something today on my blog. i need to check her 3rd eye.

  65. No More Heroes says:

    I actually agree with both of you, Comeback and True. Some people do need to do a better job and pay attention to things that happen in the relationship, some things can be avoided with a little more awareness, however…sometimes you cross every 't' and dot every 'i' and you still end up taking an L. Things can and do happen thats beyond your control. Sad to say that I know some men and women who were all about responsibility until the time actually came to be responsible, then they were MIA. Unfortunately, people do change.

  66. Mikki AKA AnitraClar says:

    Heroes I agree Sir, sometimes you go into it with the greatest intentions but when it comes time to put in the work you figure out thats not really what you signed up for, kinda like voting lol.

    When it comes to finding your mate, especially the ones you lay down with, its important to choose correctly. I can hand pick the guys I know would make great fathers as well as the ones that wouldn't just based on the things they do. If you don't work, don't visit momma or call, don't stay by yourself, or take on any form of responsiblities chances are ya gonna be a dead beat and i can tell you it don't take 3RD EYES TO SEE a dead beat coming.

    my best friend was just telling me about her friend who is married to a man and they are about to have a baby. He had a son when he was super young like 13 or something and even tho he is old as hell now he still dont take care of the child like he should. Now here comes new wife thinking her p*ssy is gold and he will do right by her!! hello!! WARNING WARNING WARNING!!

  67. Jac says:

    Wow…I really think that Mikki is on to something here. I don't agree with this whole deadbeat phenomena. I can't get with it…I think we all need to take a second look at all the people that we choose to lay with as well as keep company with. Because when you lay down with dogs you are bound to get fleas.

    “To get something you’ve never had, do something you’ve never done.”

    Amen Sister Nicki.

    True: If you would keep a lid on your stank attitude maybe no one would say anything to you. Your disposition is nastier than the city dump for no reason at all other than us disagreeing with you. I am amazed that no matter what spats any of us get into we manage to still stick together yet you hold grudges and act like nothing more than a spoiled three year old. Maybe when you grow up and heal whatever wounds exist you'll be ever to move on and be truly happy until then then before you speak and act with a tad more class.

    Good Afternoon Folks!

    Ahhh, a day to boast about myself and be annoying…

    But, alas I do not have any rants at the moment. So, being the better than most person that I am, I will just say Howdy *tips hat*

    @SBM

    "I think I am coming to terms with the fact I will probably remain unmarried until I’m 30."

    what's so bad about that? You can't decide on toothpaste…will you know "the one" when she arrives?

    @Jac and Comeback

    Hello yayas :) *hugs*

  69. Jac says:

    Hey Cuzzo… *hugs* girl I'm ready for a drink how about you?!!?!?

  70. SBM says:

    I got one more to add …

    My Asian co-worker just told me and someone else that he isn't registered to vote and has never voted in his life … and he is actually adamant about not voting. He claims it doesn't matter, he hates politicians, and that no one cares about asians.

    I was completely taken aback … utterly!

  71. Jac says:

    Beat him. Tell his Azz

    to vote

    Obama/Biden.

    This has been a public service announcement.

  72. Mikki AKA AnitraClar says:

    Beat the Biden/bama in him

  73. Cuzzo says:

    @Jac
    I will be having a cold glass of something tonight. ;)

    oh I've thought of a rant…
    one side of my jaw hurts.

  74. Mikki AKA AnitraClar says:

    I mean the bama/biden

    ok it just dont sound right either way

    so just beat him

  75. Jac says:

    Cuzzo-I'm feeling like having a glass of wine…I had a French martini the other night it was SO good.

  76. Cuzzo says:

    @Jac

    I'm deciding on either wine (reisling) and champagne (brut) – the bubbly just makes me feel special. lol.

    wait…we have to move this convo to the treehouse, wouldn't want to upset and tried and true ppl here.

    *skips to my loo*

  77. hi cuzzo…

    u should try canadian ice wine. It is very good. I think its considered a dessert wine.

  78. not that i know anything about dessert..being a fitclubber and all.

  79. true says:

    Jac

    "so?! :-/"

    I aint here to make friends..or be nice or get liked..

    *shrugs*

  80. "lol @ breaking a cycle

    "

    the cycle actually continues..you're filling in nicely. ***cues the twilight zone***

  81. Cuzzo says:

    @Jac

    "I aint here to make friends..or be nice or get liked.."

    lol that's what everyone says on reality show competitions. Go head with yo top model @ss!

    I'm outty 5000

  82. Tiara says:

    Man yall are mean…being able to look from the outside in is definitely an eye opener.

  83. qb says:

    And here i am now to voice my rants… i been waitin for ya'll to start bein nice but i am done waiting

    1. i am still celibate = i am still not dating someone. man I would really like to get some soon

    2. everyone in my office is coughing like they have a smokers cough and it is super gross. one broad doesnt even mute her phone when she is coughing. it makes me want to puke.

    3. someone in my office was clipping their nails today – another sound that makes me want to puke.

    4. our audits are finally caught up – i know i should be happy about that but i am not since it means i have to spend most of my day actually taking calls today

    5. i am not going to be able to change the color of my nails before halloween so i will be dressed in red and black and have green nails. it is going to look wack.

    6. my best friend is still dating the coke head and i still cant stand her.

    7. my ex just FINALLY realized yesterday that I am done talking to him but he is still following the same people as me on twitter an tryin to be all nicey with them (read: he is following SBM an tryin to talk to him bout music = me annoyed)

    i think that is it… i am pretty sure I had more good things to say than negative today (nice things are said at comebacks tree house) so that is good.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

  84. Cuzzo says:

    hmmmm….who is "Teaira"? and who is she calling mean?

    @SBM
    please invite Tea-ira and true to be the only commenters and all will be lovely in the land.

  85. Tiara says:

    Cuzzo stop flaming the fire, it's completely unnecessary at this point…really.

  86. qb says:

    Cuzzo you make me laugh.

    Tiara not really sure who you callin mean either… both you and true werent exactly nice today.

    Oh and true since you arent here to make friends or be nice or get liked maybe thats why you felt left out like the cool kids at the table werent lettin you be part of the convo before…

    okay ima stop now before SBM hates me for life.

  87. Cuzzo says:

    ummmm ok Tea, I'll stop. but u have to stop this "who am i gonna be today?" BS – it's not a good look homay

  88. Cuzzo says:

    @QB
    I try…gotta laugh up in here…it's so somber. I think SBM has people stalking him too.

  89. Jac says:

    Lawd, lawd, lawd…

    moaning church lady style

  90. Cuzzo says:

    @Jac
    YOU just made me laugh out loud ma'am.

  91. Tiara says:

    stalking…ha ha ha, as if…even you know better than that.

  92. Satya says:

    -I really hate my health insurance provider but i'm grateful I have health insurance
    -I don't understand how a parent can come to open school night or day and fuss a teacher out bc their kid failed and hasn't done any homeowork and failed 2 out of 3 test
    -Professional adult whiners annoy me

    Other than that life is good. =) Happy weekend everyone

  93. Cuzzo says:

    "I don’t understand how a parent can come to open school night or day and fuss a teacher out bc their kid failed and hasn’t done any homeowork and failed 2 out of 3 test"

    I think than can be understandable if the parent wasn't informed of the failed test and lack of interest in homework until that day. It's not like their child was going to be forthcoming and tell their parent that they were failing and didn't want to do homework.

  94. Cuzzo says:

    "as if"
    lol, ok Dione – i loved that movie!

Speak Your Mind
