Really Men It's Not Your Fault & Why I'm Mad at Badu


ok, i'm going to break woman code and just flat out admit it, we're crazy. 100% bat shit most of the time. it doesn't mean that we aren't brilliant and capable of maintaing families, conquering the world and all that, but it does mean that we tend to have moments and thoughts that completely contradict what we know to be true. and sometimes we take these thoughts and create gigantic mountains, complete with mount rushmore type intricacies carved into this monument that we created with our minds. that being said, i'll get to the point.

i spend a lot of time on facebook, not always actively engaged, but generally with my page up, usually hoping someone will post a bit of useful information or some fun thought for me to nibble on. but occasionally, i run across one of my male friends posting a pic of a woman in some stage of undress, and inevitably with her ass out (black men like asses...which is why i'll never understood the white girl thing, but i digress...) and it offends to no end. i try to justify my offensiveness by going on my moral high horse about the degradation of women, and how we're more than sex objects, yada yada yada....but the truth is, my issue is my ego. to my knowledge, i have never been one of those girls/women, that men fawn over in that way. when men talk to me, they compliment me on my mind and the ability to get things done, and the perception that i stay positive, which is great, and i wouldn't trade in the respect that comes with that for anything....ok, this is where the crazy comes in, however, us thinking women still want to know that we're sexually attractive. so, listening to brothers go on & on about badu's booty, and seeing the posts of whatever nameless jawns and the rants about that just makes me wonder what i'm doing wrong - other than keeping my clothes on.

life, i wonder....


i feel like i live on love. i strive to focus on the positive, even if the negative is staring me down. but even still, i feel as though i'm numb to a lot of things around me. stuff just doesn't move me. when people ask my opinions, i generally say "sure". which is an affirmative, but clearly not the same as saying YES! i want to say YES! and genuinely feel that excited about what i'm doing. but i feel that this would require a level of passion that i'm just not sure if i still possess. i think living might have finally beaten it out of me...as a result, i get frustrated, because i feel my life living in sepia tones, which are beautiful, but not the same as full color. what i'm looking for within myself is how to get back to full color, even in new and improved imax 3D :)
