Your Preference. My Preference.

It infuriates me when women have the audacity to get mad at interracial relationships. For one, if he weren't a celebrity/ Athlete you wouldn't give to shits about him anyway. But 2nd because people act like having a preference is wrong.

Let my explain something, everyone has a preference. No matter what you end up with, you have something you prefer. Most women prefer tall men. So your discriminating against short men. Its no different. And what kills me is most of the time the women mad about the fact that some black football player has married a white girl, are usually the ones who prefer light skinned boys! But want to get mad and heated. Like seriously, shut the fuck up. Get over it. People like what they like, and if it's not you then oh well somebody will love you.

A Perfect World.

In a perfect world racism wouldn't exist. Gay people would be understood. Religion would be one. Everyone would understand each other. There would be no violence. There would be no stereotyping or prejudice. Everyone would get along and live happily ever after.

I think some people really believe that one day we will all live in a perfect world. A world where racism won't exist, and gay people will have equal rights and be able to marry. That "their" religion "catholic" or "baptist" will be THE religion of choice. Or maybe that people just won't be atheist. That everyone will "accept" God.

Well, i know that this isn't true. I know that racism, will NEVER go away. I know that gays will never be understood, nor will they ever NOT be discriminated against. And my views on religion are very simply: I believe in God: Period end of story. I mean the world has come a long way, but lets be real: Ignorance is Bliss.

So i always wonder why people find the need to be so passionate behind religion and racism. I know so many black people who are always ready to pull the race card out. Just waiting to be offended. It was just recent when John Mayer's interview with playboy infuriated about every black man, woman and child. Yea his comments were i guess what 1 COULD consider offensive. But John Mayer is an OFFENSIVE person in general. He also disrespected his ex-girlfriend, along with many others in that interview. People where outraged. I wasn't. He's offensive, he was trying to be funny, and it was a tragic failed attempt. I never gave 2 shits about him anyway, nor do i now. But my black people why do we give a shit what people have to say about us? That's what i don't understand. Do you feel like you have something to prove? Or defend? I can't let ignorance offend me or ruin my day. I simply cannot. There is so much more to look forward to in life rather then defending your race. Im black and i'm proud. I don't have to wear a shirt or scream it from the roof or defend my race every time someone says the "N" word to prove that. Racism is a form of ignorance. And IGNORANCE will NEVER die.

Now religion is another touchy. Because God forbid religion didn't exist, the world would be in chaos. I definitely need the bible to let me know that "killing, stealing, and cheating is wrong." And i also need that good man made book to let me know that being Gay is going to land you straight in hell. Along with all the other cheaters and liars. No, i'm sorry, if they repent and accept God, their good. But not you evil gay people. You can't get married because its ruining the "sanctity" of marriage because of what the Bible's description of Marriage is. I personally, agree with Whoopi :

"If you don't support gay marriage, then don't marry a gay person. If your not gay, this has NOTHING to do with you!"

So what the FUCK do you care for?

My point is this. Everyone believes what they want to believe. Religion is something that is consistently shoved down our throats. And people are so argumentative when it comes to it. Their belief is the right one. And yours is wrong. And Jesus said this. And God said that. Look. Your belief is your belief. Mine is mine. You go to your church on Sunday. I'll go to mine (if i wake up). Don't invite me to your church, if i don't inquire about. Its rude. Now THAT offends me. Especially when i don't ask you. Because your basically saying "Whatever your beliefs are..well its not good enough, come listen to what my Preacher has to say". And then i'll watch him leave in his Bently or fly off in his private Jet. I have a special relationship with God, that is none of anyone else s business. And it doesn't require me to pay someone else's car note.

The purpose of this blog was basically just to say that life is to short to worry about the things we cannot change. The worst kind of passion is the mis-directed kind. I just hate when people are passionate about things that require no passion. Loosen up your tie a bit, and let the ignorant shit go in one ear and out the other. And when confronted about it just say this :

"Our President is black. And he supports the Gays. So what were you saying?"

Thats the nice way. But we all know I'm not nice. So i always use my fav:

"Wait what? Shut the fuck up."

Insane.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

At least thats Albert Einstein's definition of it. But there is so much truth to that little "quote" it made me sit back and think. And whats even scarier...just think about how many people in your life this would apply to. You probably know more people who are insane rather then sane. I know i do.

Thats including myself.

But the real question is, are you really expecting different results? Or are you just ACCEPTING the fact that the results won't change. I know thats probably the case with myself in most situations. Which is a problem. I wonder if theres a definition for that.

Hmph.

Mr. West

Mr. West and I have a love/hate relationship. I mean seriously, i admire this man so much i named my child after him (by child i mean dog). It's strange because all the things i love about him, also can be the reasons why i hate him.

1st before everything i admire the fact that he's an artist. I real artist. Not just a rapper. But a poet. He has some of the most motivational songs I've ever heard. All of his albums are lyrical masterpieces. He's one of the best dressed (if not THE best dressed) black men in Hollywood. His fashion sense is sick. Then the fact that he's always been one to speak his mind. He doesn't let his publicist speak for him. He says whatever the fuck he wants. I always felt like he was speaking for US. He'd say it in the most blunt and aggressive manner. Not because he's an asshole (well he is an asshole) but because he's passionate. I love that. I always thought if for some reason i was ever to become a celebrity i'd probably be like Kanye along those lines. I say things that normally provoke people say i'm mean or i'm an asshole, but i just feel like you can't suger coat anything in life. Just lay it out all on the table. It's not always going to be nice. Sorry, but swallow it and shut the fuck up. Life goes on.

World Class Liar.

I remember the 1st lie ever told to me. It was by my (then) best friend Al. Al (real-name changed) and i were in the 2nd grade. We were having a debate about who would win out of a fight between Jean Gray and Rogue from X-Men. We were X-Men junkies. Had all the X-Men cards and comics and watched the show every Saturday morning. I was team Rogue (i mean let's be real, she's damn near super-man with out the x-ray vision) and he was team Jean Gray. Of course, debating is my best, and at every angle i believed Rogue could whip Jean's ass, and was proving it quite well. Then to advantage Jean Grey he blurted out that she could fly. We both knew this wasn't true. But Jean was loosing her battle. So he insisted that Jean Gray could fly. We had our fun debate until our parents arrived to pick us up that evening.

Fashion: Tom Ford

Tom Ford's spring look book, which made me seriously gag. I almost teared up at the sight of these blazers and bow-tie combination s. If you ever had to wonder why I'm on a quest to be skinny and rich...these images should help you understand.Enjoy!

Thanks Jeremy Dante for the images (www.jeremydante.com)

The "F" Word.

Friend: a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard

That's the dictionary definition. I guess we all have different definitions of what a friend is. I personally feel like people don't know what a "friend" is. The word is thrown around so often now a days that everyone you say "Hi" to more then once is a friend. I guess because you see each other out, and have held more then 1 conversation, you are friends now?

A friend is someone who you can relay on. Someone who you know is loyal to you no matter what the circumstance. The person you can gossip (and you know you gossip) with and it won't be told to 3 or 4 different people. The person you can tell you deepest secrets to, and they won't judge you. They will always tell you if your being dumb in any situation, even if it may hurt your feelings. And you BETTER NOT talk bad about MY friend in front of MY FACE because that..lets just say that wouldn't end nicely. Friends are completely ready to defend a friend against ANYONE at any given moment.
