Nothing More Appeal then Her Face At That Moment

Married or not you should read this...

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

Maybe Girls Do Run The World......

So this past week was a beautiful one for my ladies. Upon my return from vacation I hit the Internets to push Elisha Jade's co hosting gig with Hot 97's DJ Juanyto on the Monday Night Action.

Then Tuesday it was a lil socializing as Raven returned to the party scene at a new venue for her Off the Wall party. Great music, set the tone for a mixture of hip hop lovers, insiders and dancers to mingle and enjoy.

Humpday, then marked the 1st special edition of Menage a Talks that featured the T.Dot to UK(via NY) link up of Goddess I and Elisha Jade. In the meanwhile everyone's favorite world traveler Evita Robinson was on the grind preparing to serve up so much international favor that I may be almost as excited as she is to see it reach the masses.

 To round out the work week Raven spoke with Hip Hop juggernaut Jean Grae for her weekly Hip Hop Queens feature on Chuck D's AndYouDontStop Radio

The women continue to deliver and I'm blessed to be able to witness and aid in whatever small way I can.

I Respect the Power of Words

I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There’s so much in a name and so much more in you - Common

Boo & Bitch. Two worwds thrown around like so many others. I love this  quote because it speaks to my communicative pet peeves and overall respect for the power of what we speak. Ask any woman that's been around me when's the last time they heard me call a woman "bitch". The idea of my calling female "boo" is equally unlikely I call folk what they are cuz it matters. My words hold heavy weight. 

I could take it farther then just the addressing of ladies but I dont want to get that deep into it. In a society that is over the top with everything it's nice to know that some folk still measure their words appropriately.

Paper Talks so Sexual Predators Walk????

 

With friends like these, maybe sexual assault allegation can disappear! The Post reports that the friends of former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn are contacting the overseas relatives of his accuser, "offering them money to make the case go away since they can't reach her in protective custody... The woman, who says she was sexually assaulted by the disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund, has an extended family in the former French colony of Guinea in West Africa." A French businesswoman who knows Strauss-Kahn and his family says the friends "already talked with her family. For sure, it's going to end up on a quiet note."

I'm very curious if this actually goes down like this. After reading the police the report I'm just curious how you force oral sex without getting ya thang bitten off. Plus this girl don't look to strong to me so how does this actually happen? Smh.......Weird

Black Girls Rock...Thats Why I Roll With Them

The Black Girls Rock award show was last week and all week I've had thoughts of the women I know that rock. They run their own business, fully directing their lives and in the face of adversity they take chances and big risks. In fact they take risks that I myself don't. That fact bounces around my head many a time. Would I "rock" if I just suddenly did something unexpected and out of the normal way that I operate?

I Understand the Power that the Mind Has.....

I'm trying to gather, sort and set my thoughts so I can properly progress forward with life. I know the future is better then the present so I"m just making sure I keep calm and focused. It seems simple but in the midst of stress even that can be more difficult. Just another hurdle to jump.....

Doing It to prove a point?

Sex as a weapon. Have you ever known someone who you weren't really into that much but cuz they talked so big and so much that you wanted to put it on them one way or another to shut them up and let it be known that the power is really yours? That authority sex so that from that point after all you would need to do is look at the person and it's understood who's really in charge? Yes, no????
