Today I said Goodbye to a Good Friend by the name of "One Life to Live". We have been friends for almost 19 years. Christmas break of my sophomore year in high school I started watching this show. My high school friend Kim introduced it to me to this dear friend.
Back then I think Dorian Lord was being held hostage by Viki Buchanan 's alter Jean Randolph. Todd Manning kidnapped Nora Gannon, his lawyer who threw his rape case that cause to be imprisoned. And the man overseeing the crime in town was RJ Gannon, who was (first man amongst a select few) the Finest man with locks & a beard I ever saw (FYI: not a fan of hair on the head & full beards). Oh those were the days.
Today, with Tears rolling down my face. I watch Nora Buchanan's son Matthew see the birth of his son being born with Destiny Evans (who has a fine brother named Shaun, who has a hair cut. YES, my kind of man). They named him Drew. Todd Manning's daughter Starr go with her daughter to Los Angeles. He, himself get arrested again. This time it is for murder. Also, the reason why the Mannings and John Mcbain have to crossover to General Hospital (a story about the mob & not the hospital). Vicki Davidson finally got her happy ending. Oh let us not forget Mitch Lawrence went to Hell. Satan will happy to see his best son(oh he was evil and thought he was on the right side) Thank you, Lord!!!
I'll miss the only Soap that I could go to school (high school & college) for semesters and still pick up like I never left. I can't tell you where Kim is these days but I know One Life to Live will always be the Best Soap EVER. I don't know what to do at 1pm CST Monday through Friday. Well, other than get some work done. I will miss it so. Farewell Buddy!!!

WITH YOUR RUDE _SS (Big Bust Edition)
Excuse me but this needs to be said.
Big Busted Women are People Too!!!
When people see a large busted woman, what makes some tell that woman "Oooh you have some BIG ol' _______? As one of them, let me inform you that They Know That Already. I don't what it is that makes people be so rude and say that. And it isn't not just Men being the rude little hogs, Small & Average bust women too. Sick as Hell. And just as Loud!!!
And another sick thing is to then ask them after they have been Greatly Embarrassed then asked them for their bust size. Are the offenders gonna buy the victims a Bra? So then, why do they need to know?
And for these poor women to tell these punks "None of your business" or my favorite "Are you gonna buy my next (not at Walmart, $$$) bra" people act like they are offended. Nooooo jerks, you are being Rude. Like she is wrong for not answering that nasty question. Nooooo idiot, you are wrong for asking.
MOST Women with big breasts are Not shame of their size but to call them out like that, Come On! How about pointing out to a big lip person "Oooh you got some BIG Ol' soup coolers". Or wait what about a person with sparse hair on their head "Ooooh You Don't have any Hair", Sounds rude huh. So, why do it to anybody? These aren't children these are Adults. Adults that think to say such obscenities is cute. Not Cute!!! Learn how to behave!
I could understand certain intimate places (let see the bedroom, hotel room, maybe strip club, umm can't think anywhere else right now) or moments Maybe depending the tone "Ooooh you got some BIG OL'________ may be accepted but Out Loud in the public, not Cute. It's Rude. Who said that this was cool to do? This is one issue I wish would die. And if you see or hear any offenders of this nasty behavior send them the link to think blog entry. It needs to Stop!!!

The Decision has Been Made, Just Be Still
Exactly Today 4 years ago, I was told my father passed away on Christmas Day. Exactly Today 4 years ago, I also saw God's Word make a decision that in a way, man's eyes & understanding will never comprehend.
I was a child of marital separation. I was a child of a deadbeat father. My parents separated when I was 3 months old. I didn't know for them to be together and never cared for them to be together. Even as a child, I knew we (my siblings & I) were better off with a single mother. No fighting parents (stepparent for my siblings). My mother never talked badly about my father. But he (who I mostly saw by random accidents) talked bad about her and her family, the family that raised me. Especially my grandfather, who was my main father figure. So by the time I was 21, I decided he & I didn't share values, goals, respect for life & people, & being in each other's lives would not be likely. The last time I spoke to my father was a year before his passing when he called to tell me his mother died. He caught up on my life (college graduate & business owner) and finally sound less bitter about my mother and family.
During the time after My father passed, I was packing for a long-awaited trip out of town to see my college friends. My mother told me who & how she was told. I was very sad but I was still packing and planning to go out of town the next day, the day of his viewing, two days before his funeral. My sister & aunts called and all I could tell them was, don't have that announced at their church. My cousin called to set the time to drop me at the airport. I finally went into a deep inward prayer mode. I'm sad but I still packing. I'm sad but I'm not angry. I'm sad but not guilty that I'm going out of town. That morning my cousin came with the paper & I saw the obituary. I saw my name as one of the survivors. Then I went to the airport still in this prayer mode. Got my ticket, went through the security point, and was waiting on the plane. My inward prayer was getting louder in my soul. "Lord, I don't understand my behavior. I'm sad but I'm still going out of town. Am I guilty for not being guilty? Lord, Let your will be done because it's the only one that matters." To the natural eye, I was just sitting there. "Lean not to thy own understanding" came to my mind. Then I thanked God for my father because without him I wouldn't be alive nor have the good life I had. Then I was reminded of the scripture "Be Still & Know I am God" and I was at peace. I shrugged and said, "Why be fake? To sit on a front row to shake shiver, and cry next to some "family member" you don't know, would be so fake".
I went on my trip and came back to a funeral program from a minister who questioned my family about my absence waiting for me. I came home to a funeral program full of memories of a life that I didn't know of waiting for me. Like a funeral program of a stranger. Yep, I made the right decision for me. The Real Me. I always said when that day came, the Lord would help. And an ever-present help, he is, especially that day. One day, I'll go visit his grave. Forever, I'm glad I did what was right no matter how It Looks to Man. God knows what's best. And what's best is not what We think it is.
RIP Droopy

Pervert & the Cowards
Sandusky---> McQueary---> Paterno---> Penn St Officials---> But not the Police
This Penn St sex scandal sickens me. Of course Sandusky is the worse for being the vile molester. But the rest of the names are not real men either. They are a bunch of COWARDS that passed the buck of Responsibility instead of doing right thing and going to the police themselves.
McQueary is the worse of these cowards. He saw it! So why didn't he get the police? What about vigilante justice for the child? He should have confronted Sandusky in the shower then and there and got the child to safety. The rest just dropped the ball (No Pun Intended). Amazing how these Old, Grown, Adult men could do that.
And the poor Penn St community. Who wants to go though this? I know the students hate that their beloved coach is gone & school is battling reporters & legal accusations. But I want them to consider hearing this about another school. SMH

Fat Butt News Broadcast
I hate News Cast that focus on obesity & being overweight. Not the facts & advice. The showing of people's faces, guts, & butts has to be embarrassing. Especially if somebody realize that their body part on TV. 8O Especially kids. Oh the horrible possibility. You're eating a cupcake or getting a milk. It gets on TV and then the next day your peers tease you. Is the media trying to shame people into losing weight?
I remember the first time I passed by someone in a mall & I was Aware I got "That Look". I was secretly embarrassed. Then I was obsessed for about a month checking to see my bust, butt & legs on TV. I finally esteem checked myself & stopped. I wonder do others do that.
I really wish the Media would stop that. Has to be like Invasion of Privacy, somehow. Hope no one signed a release, especially not the parents of the kids.
I bet not see my body on TV on a report. It will be hell to pay.

The Date Race
Someone suggested I read the book "Is Marriage for White People". I looked at them stupid. They felt that since they never saw me date anyone that was not black, I should open my self to dating other races. I laughed for a few minutes then explained that I am open to dating outside my race. But the type of men I date prefer dating that are other races don't come up to me asking Me for date. They asked "What Type is that". I told her "Decent Men". What you see approach, flirt with, or date me are "Decent Men". They just happened to be black. I've never been approached by a "Decent" man that was any other race. I don't date aimless, criminals, slouches, bums, drug using, married, uneducated, or alcoholics men no matter the race. I have yet to have a non-black man that was not those things approach me. If I won't date a "brotha" that are those things why would I settle for that just to date outside my race. Get me one that not those things and we can go on a date. They were dumbfounded.
As for this book. It is amazing how a black man can suggest who should black women should consider dating. He feels Black women should consider dating outside their race because Black men are trying to use them. Umm In My Opinion he's trying to use them also, by writing a book about his suggestions. I'm not disagreeing with him but I don't feel he should make $$$ from it. Sad thing is there will be a nice percentage that will rush out and get his book. Many that don't understand the basics in dating anyway. Still Dating Randomly.
I don't understand why buy something that is common sense. I don't understand why folk don't get to know their self, make a solid basic non shallow list of attributes or standards of who they want to date. Things that they have to be, no exceptions. And go after that. My basic attributes for dating have nothing to do with race. Because dating randomly is the problem many folks have and until that is address then...

Too Much Emphasis on Sex
Today while straightening my grandmother's hair I was listening to a rerun of the Oprah
Show on her OWN channel. The show was about two 30 y/o ladies who were virgins and
ashamed of to be sexually inexperienced. It was sad to me. Not because they were
virgins. As a celibate individual (YES a choice I call "Being Radical" I don't regret and a badge I wear as proud as my skin) that will never be something I would do. But because they felt like they were missing out on something in life. Because they felt like they are only people not getting the punch line of a joke. Of course it came out that they had underlying control & self esteem issues that were part of the blame. In my opinion, I blame society in part because they felt like they were less than because they were virgins. You see many movies & books about the poor virgin that NEEDS to get their cherry popped before it is too late. Too late for what? Vibrators and Dildos are is so many everyday catalogs I could scream. Levitra, Extenze, and ED medicine commercials are on TV before Prime time TV. On Halloween what kind of costumes sell the most? The list goes on & on. So it's no wonder these ladies thought it was embarrassing to be virgins. Even in my recent past I have learn not to discuss my celibacy with all my friends because some do not understand. Some one minute are praising me for that decision, the next minute think I'm crazy. Then there are some to suggest I "need to get some" but when I pay attention to their lives I realize they "need to get some" actually. One friend (whose only had "sex" once) I did tell that friend to catch up to my past then suggest that to me. I have not heard that suggestion anymore from that person's mouth. What is the obsession with sex about? Why is it everywhere? Why is it made to believe that if you're not doing it, something is wrong with you.? That was something I didn't hear on the show. No one ever ask the ladies were they Sure they even wanted to have sex. Somebody needed to have that kind of talk with them. Once they handle the control and self esteem issues, then decide to have sex there are heap of other emotions that come with that. Kinda of talk that teenage girls need to have before they have sex. Many of them are not being talked to either so why am I shocked. Maybe because there was a Doctor involved. But hey the goal was "getting them some" not making sure they look before they leap. They did help one to get know her body. That is a good thing. Can't expect somebody else to know what you like of you don't. I wish the ladies well. Hope they make a decision they can live with. And the shame of being 30 & a virgin is gone. Don't want the shame to cause them to have sex prematurely.
