I'M HUMAN TOO...

what happens when you loose hold of a situation, and feel like you can no longer piece back the situation. Do you leave the puzzle alone and walk away, or do you continue to rack your brain, only to find out, you still CANNOT piece it together!...This seems like that is the same story for most of us. We want to finish a puzzle or a game we are just not meant to finish, it is like the puzzle is put into your life to teach you how to work hard and learn how to be passionate. But then what happens when you become so passionate and there is no direction? Today I woke up free-spirited no stress anywhere around...but by this evening all of that changed, thoughts after thoughts circling my mind, emotion after emotion rising and plunging in my stomach, words after words glowing before me [confusion!]. I studied psychology but many a times yet to manage my own psych...is that a bad thing? You know, someone once said to me...if you become a psychologist or work in that field, you'll most likely become your own worst patient!...I am yet to receive my masters and I can already agree. I seem to solve everyone else's problems and show everyone else what it is they should be grateful for, however in my case, there is no one to do that for me. People always say to me, "if it wasn't for you Tasha...blah blah blah," but I cannot say that to myself...or can I?...smh, I'm human too!

REVERSE RACISM...I DON'T LIKE DARK SKIN CHIC'S....A CHEATING REPULICAN & more

We live in such an unmatrimonial and screwed up world. They say keep your "enemies" or "frenemies" closer than your friends...but geez, what is a person to do, when your enemies will only do you just as bad and on many cases worst than the back-stabbing your friend will do? Enemies come in all different sizes, shapes and colors...so what I am trying to say is, some of our worst enemies are the same skin tone, but those will be the ones who stab you behind your back...now enemies of the opposite race will do what they have to do to you in the open with 'pride!'...you would think they would try to hide their faces being that they will be easier to point out lol!

So an 18 year old Caucasian boy suffers a severe head injury in his home town after being beaten by a piece of concrete. The victim Brian Milligan was beaten by a group of 10-12 boys all no older than the age of 17.... and they all happened to be African-American. A hate crime?? That is how the investigation is looking? Brian was dating an African-American female, and a week before his attack, he was approached by a group that told him "not to mess our girls."
REVERSE RACISM?????? The victim has been reluctant to speak.

While on the topic of reverse racism...how about self racism, there are going to be a lot of dark-skin voices giving their opinion on an Oakland rapper named Mistah Fab. His exact quote was: "I don't fuck with dark chics." During an interview he was asked "what is your obsession with white girls?" and he answeredd "I used to be a slave...I said to all the white people, I'm gonna get all y'all back & fuck all y'all daughters..............black women are cool, but I need them for sales; it's just certain black women, really I don't like dark skin women!"

smh he needs to be put on blast for his mess talk!!!!!

...okay ladies and gentlemen we have black men attacking black women! WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SAY when cases such as the 76 yr old black fisherman of Baltimore was beaten brutally by 3 white supremacists. One of the attackers, Lockner admitted his hate for African-Americans after being arrested! More than too many African-Americans cannot even hold their own and yet scream when something like this happens. Please, do not get me wrong, there is absolutely no justification for such a hate crime, but man, if there were not so many black-on-black killings, self-hate for own own race and skin I wouldn't see the controversy...tell me what do you think?

....oooooh listen to this here, remember when I quoted 'keep your enemies closer than your friends'....well, it is true my dear readers. Republican senator Ensign from the state of Nevada was caught SLEEPING WITH HIS BEST FRIENDS WIFE! I am quite tempted to be biased and just yell out the word "MEEEEEENNNNN" but women do it too, though I am yet to hear of a women is such high position jeopardize her work?! Hmm...I have to laugh-out-loud! LWKMD...NDH








but the time for me to stop laughing out loud has made its way........ Ummm, Octo-mom, John & kate + 8 you may want to move to the side. Does it not seem like women today cannot fathom the difference between "desire for celebrity status" or "just being a mother." An unidentified women is giving birth to 12 babies......yes, I said it, 12 babies, the mother who has had a history of miscarraiges will be having 6 girls and 6 boys....I wonder how many God will give me (more to come on story.....)

you think that is crazy???????

now having 12 babies not as crazy as this 43 yr old woman. An unnamed woman randomly decides to set herself on fire and go for a walk in the mall of Americas. Once she was put out by 2 witnesses, she was left with only her underwear, the rest of her clothing had been burned to ashes and she was also covered in 3rd degree burns over 75% of her body...However instead of awaiting help, she decides to walk out of the mall into the parking lot. One witness claims she was walking around super-slow with both of her arms out to the side....weird, but hey it is the world we live in, I see a psychological issue in this story or maybe it was cold outside!
FIRE FIRE WE DONT NEED NO WATA

stay tuned dear readers...

WHY THE GENOCIDES??? and we allow it to happen!

So when we think of massive deaths, I'm sure like most, the first that comes to mind is the infamous ADOLF HITLER and his Nazi army! The Holocaust was a wild systematic way of murdering off a mass of people in such rapid speed. This genocide of the 20th cent. suffused German society and culture with anti-Semitism. Hitler was a a man with a deeply disturbed view of power. I honestly can say his Psych was not all there and I am sure the way he rationalized situations were morally irrelevant, although he had smart movements to do something so crazy he had a devastating direction! We all know that Hitler was open about his hate for Jews, and even before he was in power he had is plan set. He once privately quoted:
"Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows – at the Marienplatz in Munich for example – as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews."

We learn about that tragedy in the schools? But we forget that these massive deaths continued into our present day in several other cultures: Here is a quick lesson dropped...

*POL POT (Cambodia) 1975-79; leader of the Cambodian communist movement known as Khmer rouge. During his time in power, Pol Pot imposed city dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects, toward a goal of "restarting civilization" in "yr 0". The combined effects of slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 million people, approximately 21% of the Cambodian population.

**MENGHISTU (Ethiopia) 1975-78; December of 2004, Ethiopia became the worlds largest sovereignty to attempt genocide in a day as a way to solve its problems with a troublesome minority. The ongoing deaths of the "Anuak" people are being single out all because of the ethnic group. Since many of the Anuak men have fled, there have also been systematic rapes of Anuak women, an early warning sign of genocidal intent. Some of the rapists have reportedly declared, “Now you won’t have an Anuak child.” about 1,500,000 have lost their lives.

**JEAN KAMBADA (Rwanda) 1994; The mastermind behind the Rwanda genocide has been placed behind bars after 800,000 deaths! The fight behind the Tutsi and Hutu tribe, was not a small issue at all...Over 100 days of horror, the slaughter spread from Rwanda's capital, Kigali, to every corner of the verdant but tiny African country. Many victims were stopped at Interahamwe or army roadblocks and murdered on the spot after their Tutsi status was established from their identity card. if you have not watched the movie "Hotel Rwanda" please do so, it is a necessity

......more to come

but please remember that these things we allow to linger is an abomination surfacing at all chances given...I do not doubt another genocide to happen again in the future, but what will we do about it before it happens, because we humans cannot seem to fathom equality...killing off your own kind and those with their own culture!

The question is, why??

SEGREGATED PROM IN 2009?

A bunch of high-school seniors waited out the final weeks of school they begin rightfully to revel in the shared thrill of moving on. It is no different in south-central Georgia’s Montgomery County, made up of a few small towns set between fields of wire grass and sweet onion. The music is turned up. Homework languishes. The future looms large. But for the 54 students in the class of 2009 at Montgomery County High School, so, too, does the past. On May 1 — a balmy Friday evening — the white students held their senior prom. And the following night — a balmy Saturday — the black students had theirs.
Racially segregated proms have been held in Montgomery County — where about two-thirds of the population is white — almost every year since its schools were integrated in 1971. Such proms are, by many accounts, longstanding traditions in towns across the rural South.
actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for last year’s first-of-its-kind integrated prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi, his home state, the idea was quickly embraced by students — and rejected by a group of white parents, who held a competing “private” prom.
All students are welcome at the black prom, though generally few if any white students show up. The white prom, students say, remains governed by a largely unspoken set of rules about who may come. Black members of the student council say they have asked school administrators about holding a single school-sponsored prom, but that, along with efforts to collaborate with white prom planners, has failed. According to Timothy Wiggs, the outgoing student council president and one of 21 black students graduating this year, “We just never get anywhere with it.”
Students of both races say that interracial friendships are common at Montgomery County High School. Black and white students also date one another, though often out of sight of judgmental parents. “Most of the students do want to have a prom together,” says Terra Fountain, a white 18-year-old who graduated from Montgomery County High School last year and is now living with her black boyfriend. “But it’s the white parents who say no. … They’re like, if you’re going with the black people, I’m not going to pay for it.”
The night of the "white prom" a few of the black teenagers gathered in KFC, "I feel bad for them! Their prom is lame!”. They puzzled merrily over white girls’ devotion both to tanning beds “You don’t like black people, but you’re working your hardest to get as brown as I am!” and also to the very boys who were excluded from the dance “Half of those girls, when they get home, they’re gonna text a black boy!” NY TIMES MAY 21ST 2009

*my thing is...these kids are old enough to smoke, drive, have intercourse with whomever they please, why not step up to the plate and help do something about it, raise voices seeing that the black voices are not enough....but it's something that has been going on for 30 yrs since the intergration in the 70's....obviously these white kids in Georgia do not care enough or just really do not want a mixed prom??
It's a crazy situation, but we are in a country that enslaved a culture of people for over 400yrs, so how surprised can we be!
WHAT IS UR VOICE?

DATING vs.COURTING

Before I begin, let me start by saying, everything said here is my own given opinion, which we all have a right to!

Relationships of now a days are honestly all twisted up, and yes I am a victim and imposer of it...why because I am human like the rest of you, and society is human like I...we live and we learn....but sometimes we dont!!

I define *courting (courtship) as successful practice of learning who the "other" person truly is, their faults, loves, dislikes etc. and taking proper time to find out if the two of you are compatible in a relationship like situation, aiming for solid friendship that would hold up through possible marraige. During courtship the two people are more on a spiritual level with each other and lack obsessive lust...intimacy is avoided and does not come into play until both say to themselves..."I can be committed to him/her."

*Dating is less complex and much easier to do, because it involves our many senses and fulfilling them, at times passionately other times without mere thought. Dating is a modern day game, back and forth, push and pull, no and maybes, holding hands and kissing, having sex with each other and fantasizing about others. Dating does not take as much work and time as courting. It is a outwordly approach to a relationship. One may ask themselves "am i happy with my sex life?" "why would I ever be stuck on one girl...she is so much hotter" or "he makes more money; of course he can take care of me". I agree, he probably can take care of your wants...but not always your needs.

Dating is going to a restaurant, and making sure you presented yourself well that night and that she was not turned off by anything. Dating is first putting up a front [see my post below on ppl not being their real selves in begining of relationship] in hopes that they will want to see you again, become close enough for the other person to one day (some cases 5 days later) to get that good good)....and then from there see where it goes.

Courting is of course vice-versa. It is feeling the individual out slowly while going about your lifes duties, learning about them, enjoying their presence, communicate, decide to commit then work on pleasing each other for that good good!!!! :)

Too many people like to lump the both into one.....not in my book. Today 2009, most females may feel like a man is courting her, and if they would sit down and truly think about it, they'd be in for a rude awakening.

As they say, actions speak louder than words...it's easy to say "Love" but much harder to prove it. PAY ATTENTION men and women...dating is not the best move to make, and if you're one of those individuals who cannot do without being alone, it will be a tough situation and probably the one whom is most confused at this point!

what is your voice on this topic?

do you see a difference or are they the same thing?

courting or dating...which is beter?

speak truuth...

RELATIONSHIPS 2 *"JUST ASK"

cannot sleep...so why not do what I do best...relay my thoughts about this sinful world!

1) we must NEVER forget who we are and our personal goals
2)why do we as humans complain about things we know will never change
3)who ever said one couldnt be a rock star & a nubian queen all at the same time
4)am I the only one who knew reggie bush & kim k would not last????

...It will always be hard for men to decipher women and for women to decipher men...the saying "women are from venus, men are from mars" hits home every time. Someone asked me how do you know if a girl likes you? Well for one, there will be an excess of the regular. For example...hugs will get tighter, stares will draw out longer, voice will become high pitched, too many things will suddenly be "funny" and she will actually be concerned about how your day went. However some girls will do most of this and are just being really friendly. My personal advice, that of course something I'd have to act out myself is to ask. I've always known & said that keeping things real and speaking truuth is the best policy (even though humans slip up) but I do have a close friend who helped me realize that even when the truuth burns it should never be sugar-coated!!!

so the next time you "think" someone likes you or fancy's your swagg....JUST ASK!
................................................DO YOU LIKE ME?.....DO YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS FOR ME?.........and if they answer otherwise to what you expected, distance yourself, the truuth will eventually be revealed!
whats your voice?

Ms AMBER ROSE

I would be lieing if i said I did not dig the swagg of this woman...She is holding her own indeed...and Ithink Kanye is jacking some of her looks....

FOXX's SECRET CHILD!

mYYY mYYY....Jamie Foxx has a surprise baby by an Armenian woman! Baby is under a year old and well....hes not with the woman, another famous child out of wedlock...THESE ARTIST SHOULD GET THEIR SEXUAL MORALS TOGETHER...i mean, what do you al think???

.........will try to get pics soon......................

CHARLIE BALTIMORE *Ms 90's rapper...

CHARLIE BALTIMORE.........

So I've always been fond of telling folks that if an artist does not last in the industry does not mean they are NOT talented, then again some really are just not meant to be stars for long!

I'm nothing of a serious Rap fan, but Charlie Baltimore was my girl, i liked her red-bone, red headed swagg, but its been some time since we've heard from her.....WHAT IS SHE UP TO????

well this is what she was doing in the 90's (above is the Fresh Baltimore I knew)

This is the Charlie of 2009....I guess times are rough!...................SHES WASHING CARS!!!!

POEM PIECE #2

WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION?

I was born into a world

A world with NO REVOLUTION

Where revolution had lost its play

and everyone

...I mean everyone has gone astray

Roaming the earth 365 days 365 nights

searching for gun fights under street lights

because young boy stepped into his rivals heroin territory

...UNINVITED!



We've let go of the revolutions

Battles between black & whites

Over the fact that

Blacks hate the white mentality

More whites acting black

& blacks not getting their portion of the white mans goods

WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION?



Where is the Gyration?

The fight for the boot

the battle for the youth

the struggle for the TRUTH?

where is the revolutionary black campaign that bonds us together forever?

a sweet treat

to make our folks complete

to the greatest self valuable conceit

that can never be buffed

even down in the racist southern heat



Let's repleat our jobs

open up shop

But in a real store...with 4 walls....or maybe 5 if possible

just as long as its not the streets



Open up shop

EDUCATE

MOTIVATE

teach black on black love

black on black respect

for then....NOW...

Seriously, what are we waiting for?



WHERE IS THE REVOLUTION



I & I: Poetically-Inclined

ok, so it is 2:27 in the morning, and my thoughts have been running rampant for some time...left and right in and out! My goal in this life is to be Irie, to be happy, to be content, and that honestly does not take much at all. My zodiac tells me, my life pursuit is "to be consistent." I absolutely agree, when things switch up on my im overcome with sudden agitation and it turns into not really knowing what to do next. I do not crave confrontation within myself, but of course as life unfolds, its lessons, false starts, experiences, drama, dillusion and more will only shape me. So like I began, it is now 2:32 and my thoughts are all over the place.
I have currently switched off the world until latter morning time, no disturbances, just my thoughts and I.
Compassion, romance, respect, forgiveness, understanding, patience, faith, consideration, impact, intellect, individuality are the things I cannot do without from another person, friend or foe, you need to have most of those characteristics. I though am working on building my faith as I type.
What you give in is what you get...so darn true! lol...............who digs what I am saying here! WHAT YOU GIVE IN IS WHAT YOU GET, im sure you have heard that before. I learned of myself, that I hold back in fear of giving all to a soul who just might decide devour my assets instead of having faith like I too requested. My love, my compasion, blah blah blah...
Ok so now im thinking "specific." If we were given a blank check, we would all be SPECIFIC about the number we would fill in, am I right?! Hey why not, we all need money. But how is it we cannot do the same with lifes natural issues? People of the world, happiness does not come easy, and we dont make it any easier if we cannot be specific about the things we want and need from this life. If you walk into someones home and they offer you refreshments and you answer "I'll have anything," so they bring you prune juice (nasty concoction). Then you are sitting there like 'man, i hate prune juice!!!!'....but you said "anything" right, and that is what you got. Now if you specifically asked for orange juice and they had some, orange juice is what you would get. Specific!
Apply that to your day to day. If you need a man with a job, ask yourself for it, and you will get one (who knows how long it may take, but you will find him). If you need better communicatio with a friend...listen, be specific and say "I need better communication" nothing more to it!
Today was HOT weather, a blessing indeed....I was specific and I asked God for real summer weather, above 80 degrees....and that is what I got!

~ill be back...bless~

POEM PIECE #1

POETIC TRANCE

Im in a deep state trance

A dream like state

Glazed out into a world of my own

A trance of sexy dance

With a pole that represents my pen

Giving a paper lap dance

As the club is blasting hip-hop notes & rap rhythmatic quotes

In the background....Im in a trance

No matter how deterred

I'll never feel disturbed

The rhythmatic quote

Created from a stars pen strokes

Seeping into my brains tree barks

My wild imagination has been sparked

Form normality

All realityFrom society...

I feel like im in extacy!!!!!!

Drowning in between verses

never pausing between commas

It hits me That I am listening to Dancing

Sliding down the pole to this thing called poetry

It's lighting my way with concrete images And poetic fires

While giving a paper lap dance

I perspire Sweat sitting on my forehead

Sweat growing between my legs

Floetic energy Is flowing within me

And so i keep on dancing...around the pole i call my pen

to heavy rhythmatic beats that i call poetry!!!

I & I: Poetically-Inclined

Ok...so a young lady by the name of "K Michelle" claims that rapper turned preacher turned rapper Mase, who is married to Twyla Betha tried to have sexual relations with her! She states that rapper Mase flew her out in hopes to sleep with her and that she has absolutley no respect for him....left to me, it seems like now that shes coming out with her self titled album, she needs a little hype....so twitter & follow her lol!

A MULTI-RACIAL WORLD?...no more black, no more white??

As the world evolves & races are intergrating, it has been estimated that the majority of the globe will become multi-racial..an issue? [not 4 me] many people have voiced that if races continue to date and create multi-racial children races (ex:Italian, Colombian, Ethiopian) will graduallly dissapear & cultures will disintergrate! A caucasion said 2 me, he needs to keep his race pure and it would be a sin for "whites" to die out... an African told me, culture is 2 importantant to loose, "only we can understand our traditions" & an Asain said "its just easier"

Personally, I see both sides of the fence CLEALY...no one wants their culture to vanish into thin air over the generations, then again, who are we to say a child having 2 or even 3 cultures is a bad thing. Does it become an issue when a child of African-American and Caucasian-American descent decides to be "white" or if a child of Jamaican & Puerto Rican background decides to be an irie "Rasta?"....or maybe it becomes an issue when a child is all of Caucasian-American, Asian and and Guyanese and tries to fit in growing up, but never does. The easiest part of it all is maybe getting a "WOW, YOU LOOK EXOTIC" or a curious "WHAT ARE YOU?"

...maybe they start naming all their various backgrounds or maybe they pick one...."OH...IM BLACK!"

RELATIONSHIPS

So everyone has a personality of their own of course..but when it comes down to relationships it seems that in all reality, no one is COMPLETELY themselves (being who they are 100%) when searching or approaching someone of interest (for ex: laughing at a cuties joke, that would never phase you on a regular tuesday)......... well that is, until you have become comfortable! Am I right?

I've always wondered why that was...biological, or an exotic lure to attract the opposite sex?
