Answer Me This

What's up guys?? I'm not gonna be long with this one..

This topic has been on my mind for a while. I can't rememeber exactly why or how I started thinking about this, but that's not the point. Tell me..What does it mean to talk, dress, or act white/black?? And what does it mean when someone says they only listen to white/black music?? Are we all not one people?? The ones I hate the most: the music and the talking black or white.

As you know, there are quite a few genres of music. To me, everyone has a set of genres that they prefer. I myself will listen to anything from Gospel, to Country, to Jazz (I could go on for days). I don't consider any of these to be "black" or "white" music. Music is music! Right? We gravitate toward different types, but in the end music is something beautiful that pretty much everyone loves.

And have you ever heard anyone say "He talks like he's black!" or "She talks/acts like she's white!" I mean either you speak standard English, or you don't! Right?

We all have our own way of speaking, dressig, and our own preferences of music. These things (among others) make us who we are. Talk back to me ya'll..What do you think..??

He's Actin UP

Specktators, what's goin on?? I know it's been a while, and I know you all missed me Lol. I apologize for neglecting the blog, but I'm back now so let's get into it. This won't take too long...

So I've been single since the beginning of this year, and I enjoy this life quite a bit. It gives me the opportunity to meet new people and discover more of what I like and dislike when it comes to the opposite sex.

Anyway, I have this friend {who's name I choose not to reveal}. Real cool dude. He tells me he wants to go out on a "friendly date." Never had I EVER heard that term in my LIFE, but in my mind I was like "It's whatever." because I knew it wasn't anything serious...because HE'S not serious...Lol. So yea, he says he wants to see a movie, and I agree.

The plan was to go see RED, but I ended up seeing it with someone else by accident. I then try and reschedule, and this dude says that we're not going unless I'M paying for the both of us......HOLD UP!!......Are you serious?!?? LOL His rationale?: I'm fully capable of paying for two, plus he likes to "mix it up a bit" SMH ""It's so typical to take someone out on a date AND pay," he said. -_-

I look at it this way: if you ask ME to go somewhere, YOU should pay. Not because I'm incapable, a gold-digger, or anything of the sort. That's just what it is. I actually don't see anything wrong with the lady paying every now and then. But at the same time, if you say you wanna go somewhere with me, then you can't tell me that I'll be going alone if I'm not paying for the both of us...Am I crazy?? Old-fashioned?? Or do ya feel what I'm sayin...?? Guys and gals get back to me on this one......

PS - It was not my intention to put my friend on blast Lol..It's all love, so don't say anything crazy about him cuz only I can do that!! Lol

Get Glad!!

What's up everybody? I know it's been a while since I've written, but I have to make sure that each post is meaningful {to both you and me}. It's important to me that when you finish reading, you're able to take something away with you. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to ask you a question...

Have you ever received news that left you without breath or thought for a couple seconds?....The type of news that completely steals your joy?....Well that's what happened to me on the 27th of June. It's been bothering me ever since, so today I decided to write about it before I explode. This was inspired by a friend who's very dear to me, but it's really for anyone who's ever felt like giving up on life..Here goes...

There's A Light

You've been though things I cannot imagine

Now you feel like there's no point in going on

You wake up angry that you're still among the living

You think the only on you can count on is you {NOT true}

Even the ones who are supposed to be there to love and nurture you forever {your parents} are absent

For a while you began to move past it all

I watched you grow spiritually, but now you're fed up..wishing you could fill that void

You've tried ending it a few times, not realizing that there must be a reason why it hasn't worked

It's all too much to handle

The hold you're in gets deeper every day you're above ground

But you know what..?

It doesn't matter what things may look like

It doesn't matter who's there and who's not

It doesn't even matter how low you feel each day...

Why..?

Because there's Someone who spoke the world into existence

Surely He has a plan for your life regardless of your situation

So when darkness closes in, remember to let GOD be your light!
