Still Prevailing

I was watching the news today and they were talkin about a shirt that this guy in Georgia was selling. It was a picture of curious george eating a banana, with Obama in 08' underneath it. It caused quite the controversy, and it caused people to protest outside the store. Norman (the name of the owner) added fuel to the fire by saying "We're not living in the '40's. Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears — he looks just like Curious George." (oh yeah... he's also ultra conservative...hmmm) . So, this news reporter had one of the T-shirts, and was going around asking people on the streets if they felt the shirt was racist, or had a negative image protrayed. First it was this middle aged white man, and he didn't think it was offensive. He didn't see how it could be offensive (figures). Then these two black people said it was racist. And this other older white man said it was negative, and could be portrayed as racist.
To add my two cents to this.... I'm so disappointed and upset and just like all over the place with this. There is no way you could look at that shirt, and honestly think there is nothing racial about it. Everyone knows what blacks had to go through back in the day. The names thrown out at blacks, are well known. Some white people just piss me off, because they come off wit this bullshit ass excuse of "oh I didn't know/think that this would be offensive, I just thought it was cute or whatever." That's absurd. YOu kno that shit is offensive... WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU IN SCHOOL?? IN LIFE?? Ain't kno way you can't kno... so stop hidin behind this nonexsistent ignorance and step up to how you really feel. If deep down you are a racist, then so be it. Yea, its not socially acceptable, (and it shouldn't be) but i'd have a tad bit more respect for you if was just real about that shit. My thoughts are so rattled right now... I really wish I could of posted the pic of that shirt up here, but the website was being stupid...sigh

Creative Writing 101

I would like to give a round of applause to the musical artist who put their skills to the test, and come up with creative songs. There's nothing more refreshin then to turn on some music, and figure out what message is being conveyed, because they don't just come right out and say what's goin on. BUT (there's always a but), since these dudes nowadays are gettin smarter, it's makin it more difficult for us females to figure what the hell you trynna do, and to come up wit a decent lie to counter your suggestion(that is, if you want to counter it). In the song Dot Com by Usher, he says "Please, baby I got to see you, And I really wanna please you, So get on my laptop so I can download...." (Now, if that ain't some clever shit..) he also says "Baby, if you sign on I'ma make you light up Ooh, Baby, if you log on I’ll make you dot com..." (Whew... he better say that) imma throw this last piece in here too "Ooh, I love the way you dirty type I can take you home on escape Ooh, I need your backspace in my life Thank God you don’t have a flat screen..." So, lets discuss this... what you're tellin me is you want to..... have sex(Simple enough).
Another artist who is notorious for speaking metaphorically is the king, R. Kelly(cuz you kno we did remind him of his jeep). What women seriously wants to be thought of as a Jeep?? (could she be something more expensive? Whoever he was referrin to must have been one of them side joints) Anyways... he gets brownie points for being different. The song that really does it for me is Remote Control. He says "I'll be your remote touch me turn me on make me sing a song Now put me on slow.. Baby push enter now fast forward Girl you got me programed under your control Something about the way you turn it over and poke it out Said it makes me want to grab the remote and put that ass on pause..." I"m not even gonna further elaborate on that, the business is just laid out right there.
To sum this all up, ladies we once again have to step it up. No more can we be on our periods for a full month, have issues wit our hair, or whatever the hell comes to mind(At this rate we should be bald and dead). We also need to be on our toes. Read between the lines... But don't over analyze everything, cuz he might be speaking literally. Other than that, congratulations guys for catchin on and steppin ur game up. Thank you for making some females lives a little more difficult. You're the best :)

Inappropriate Idea

Are you suffering from the following?
1) weird, unexpected outburts
2) uncanny ability to make others uncomfortable
3) questionable, random behavior
4) acting innappropriately to simple expressions
5) or, not following the social norm set by God knows who?

IF you do, then you may be awkward....
ThaFinger is a quick and easy medicine, readily available to all who suffer from social awkwardness. There are unlimited doses, but it should be exercised at users discretion. Side effects may include:
1) overused joint
2) aggressive or unwanted responses
3) an ass whoopin
4) being more awkward
5) rejection from social crowds
6) loss of friendships

Using ThaFinger is not at all effective, and you will probably still be awkward afterwards(even moreso really), but it's just something to do. It's recommended that you NOT use this, but if you do, keep the side effects in mind, especially if directed at someone you don't know.
Being awkward is an inconvenience to others as well as yourself. So stop being awkward, cuz it makes other people uncomfortable. (wouldn't that suck if i ended it like that?)

**** When I first was called awkward, it kind of made me upset because when I think of the word, i'm thinking of this seriously neglected and rejected person who is BEYOND weird(I'm probably overthinkin it but whatever, that's how I operate). But, when I looked up the definition, it came to me that we are all awkward, some more than others, but nonetheless we all express awkwardness. Instead of awkward, I think something kick ass like profoundly beautiful or uniquely mistaken.... so next time awkward comes up, no offense will be taken, because it's a universal characteristic that we really kinda need. Normalcy is so........ awkward
