Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Couldn't have said it better!

I just don't get...

...why there seems to be an entire swath of the Black American female population that persists in complaining about the dearth of "good Black men" while they continue to overlook perfectly good Black American males who would gladly date them (if not enter into long term relationships or even marry them). I do include myself in that group known as "good Black men". Its is not oxymoronic, and there are quite a few of us out there waiting to be discovered by Black American women.

These Black women will then complain vociferously when those same Black men proceed to enter into relationships with non-Black women, even when these Black women deemed these same Black men unworthy of their time.

WTF?

For all the sisters that fit this description (and there are many), consider this -- you had your chance and you screwed the pooch. (Pun intended.)

YOU blew it! So don't go putting it on these men that somehow they did something wrong. The brothers went and found women who were willing to work with them, grow with them, and experience life with them, while you, with your excessive demands, inflexibility and complaining attitude, were completely recalcitrant. Oftentimes, you were proud of being so difficult. So shut the fuck up, you spinsters! You got exactly what you deserved, but more importantly, you got exactly what you wanted.

Any loser who gives up an opportunity willingly abdicates the right to complain about their decision ex post facto. Accept responsibility for your actions, you whining child!

Anyway, this is just something that has been on my mind recently as I have tiptoed into the "dating scene" again. A conversation this past Friday finally spurred me to write this, and I'm sure I will write more on this subject in the future.

P.S.: For anyone who wants to complain, let it be known that I am Black, both of my parents are Black, and most of my good Black male friends have experienced this. I've even had conversations with my own father about my own sister and how she has pulled this stuff with her boyfriend. This phenomenon is experientially familiar to most (all?) Black men that I know.

Handicaps

Having a conversation with a friend of mine, and we noticed a pattern (of sorts) with black women who attended Howard University. Why is it that these chicks who attended Howard, my alma mater, are damaged goods? Its starting to look like a huge liability to attempt to interact with women who attended Howard. I'd go so far as to say that they are handicapped, the same way you might call a paraplegic handicapped. While they may physically have all their abilities, and they (possibly) may not be mentally handicapped, the behavior I and others I know have experienced can really only be described as crippling, interpersonally and socially.

I'll speak more on a related topic later, but suffice it to say that large swaths of the female native black population of the US are best described as being handicapped. There's no better way to describe it.

Presidential Debates

What is with this trend of having representatives from each candidate's camp do the debating. Huh? We've sunk to debating by proxy now? A debate via Twitter? I love Twitter but come on! At least the candidates should have to actually create the words that get Twittered.

I really have to wonder what's next? Will they start fielding robots to fight each other?

It'd be sad if it weren't so funny/ridiculous/absurd.

Strange

This is purely an observation, but why does it seem that when I see Hispanic women, they fall in to 1 of 2 categories?

1. They are very slim, with very nice bodies, and have rugged faces. (Think Manuel Noriega.)

OR

2. They are big, as in being heavy, with softer, more delicate faces, actually feminine faces.

This is just what I notice. Rare is the Hispanic woman with both a soft face and a nice, curvy body who is not overweight (or even obese). Maybe this phenomenon only exists in Silver Spring and the DC metropolitan area. I don't know.

*shrug*

Just an observation.

Knowing

The biggest impediment to learning is knowing.

When you already know everything there is to know about a subject, you close yourself off from discovering (or re-discovering, or uncovering) new things. Why should you be open to that stuff? You already know it!

This hurts us everywhere in our lives. Think about the damage caused when you know everything about your spouse? If there's nothing to learn, then you need to find a new challenge. I'm not saying its the only reason that people cheat, but I'm sure it plays its non-trivial part.

Learn more. Know less.

I Hate Punks

Isn't that basically the definition of a politician?

Even more reason to GTFO of this nation.

Pan Fried, bitch!

The title would be what I was thinking when I was sitting at the diner having breakfast this morning, and overhead a peculiar question.

This woman was sitting at the booth just across from me with her son. She was facing me. I'm guess mid-thirties to early forties, brown skinned Black woman. Fairly attractive, in all honesty. But then I heard it, as she was talking to the waitress...

"How are the pan fries?"

Huh?

You're at a diner. They call them "greasy spoons" for a reason. Just what are you expecting? Not that the food should be inedible but damn, that question made me think that she doesn't really eat at diners often, and maybe she shouldn't. It might just disappoint her.

I could imagine the cook saying "Uhhh, pan fried?" My personal response leans towards the title of this post.

Just sayin...

Not Just for Black Chicks

While walking home this morning, I saw this white woman wearing essentially the AKA colors - salmon and green apple. It would appear to be just a natural color pairing for many women.
