On the Dope Science Show!!!

I'm so excited to tell you this information. Yes, I Was On A Podcast!!! That podcast is the Dope Science Show With Science Steph. t is one of my favorite podcasts. Stephany Lowe is such a sweet & knowledgeable lady. In her words, she is "Making science a daily conversation. We are all dope scientists"

Her main show is a fun science-inspired show. That has covered topics like Sickle Cell Anemia, Space ~vs~ Atlantis, Artificial Intelligence, & even a little Love. She also has two shorter shows called Dope Science Minute & Hit the Street. On Dope Science Minute, Steph talks about the science behind topics like Koalas & the movie, Get Out. Hit the Street is a lady of the street style show where she interviews strangers at a day party spot in LA about things like Memories & Evolution.

On this episode featuring myself, we talk about Black Female Characters in TV & Film who are Awkward & Nerdy. The kicker is sometimes while enjoying these characters we don't see them as such. We just see them as a part of that weird monolith called "The Black Woman". The interview is based on a blog post I wrote. HERE is the link if you have not read it. It is a Fun show full of Blerdette love and some memories of the 80s, 90s, and early Millennia. She also announces a live tweet event featuring some of the entertainment's great Blerdettes. The hashtag will be #BlerdetteTV.

So, listen to Episode 30

Ooh Shut Up!!! Scary Movies are Scary!

Dear Horror Movie Lovers,
If I say it's scary, my racing heart & I say It Is Scary.
Alright,
My Frightened A-Word

I don't watch horror movies. The last movie I watched that I consider horror was Skeleton Key. I prayed through it with all the lights on at 9 am. I will leave a room or hum during a horror movie commercial. I know it's not real, but I still get scared. I also am not a fan of my heart racing while I am sitting & watching a movie. That's a sedentary activity, I need my heart in a resting state.

I knew I had a problem after seeing the movie, Tales From the Hood.  I saw it in theatres when I was in high school.

I had a serious crush on Joe Torrey then. That movie was not scary to watch at all. But hours later, home alone with my brother, G, I got scared. Around 11 pm, I was washing dishes while my grandparents & mom picked my sister up from work. The pilot on the water heater reset itself and all I could think about was Clarence Williams III turning into the devil & taking Joe Torry & the other two to hell. I left those dishes, rolled G into the lit living room, and sat in there until our family got back. Yeah, I knew I had a problem at that point.

There are other instances through my life that say horror & I are Not friends

• For 6 months, I was scared to eat ice cream & yogurt after seeing "The Stuff" as a little girl. Threw a bowl of Blue Bell on the floor and my grandmother took a switch to my butt. *hangs head in shame* Yes, once I disrespected Blue Bell. Texas, Forgive Me!!!
• I hid my Learn How to Dress clown because of the movie, "Poltergeist".
  
  I smashed him deep down in the toy box. A lost library book brought him back to the top. Now, I wonder was that why I wore velcro sneakers until the 3rd grade.
• Freddy Krueger will Forever be the scariest horror movie villain. Only a psycho maniac would mess with a person's sleep. Like seriously, I can avoid the woods. I can avoid clowns. I can avoid colleges. I won't buy talking dolls. But my sleep, My Sleep??? That's Evil!!!

Scary Movies Are Scary!!!

But anyway, enjoy Halloween in a safe & fun way. Black, Brown, Red, & Yellow face is still RACIST.

I'm watching "The Worst Witch" on Halloween. Let me know if you want to join me.  It's Not Scary. Oh, can anyone bring me a couple of packs of SweeTarts & a Caramel Apple Laffy Taffy or two? My taste buds would appreciate it.

Y'all and That Kink Shaming

When I was asked would I ever talk about sex on this blog, I started to say "No". Kink Shaming is one of the reasons why. Ignorance & self-shaming are of the reasons I have observed that people shame anybody. And that is truly a shame.

Before I continue, I need all who ran to this post for some hot, steamy, gossipable info to Leave!!! Thank you for the click, but this not a place I have sex & you guys are not the man/men I wish to be intimate with. My personal opinion about any "kinks" discussed will not be seen here. Again, Thank You for the Click!!!

I had no desire to talk about this. Then the actress, Gabrielle Union said she had engaged in anallingus with her husband & some kind of info came out about a radio personality named DJ Envy engaging in pegging.

My social media timelines erupted. It's amazing how the rapists & sexual predators of Hollywood barely get a grumble from some. But let someone say they engage is sexual activities that are not even shown on Cinemax, the internet becomes a judgemental opinion city.

And what was the wildest part, some of the most opinionated people during this kink shaming time were self-professed Freaks. I always have want to say this. Define Freak! Heck, Define Kink, too! Whatever the definitions are for these loosely used terms, I would hope it included an understanding that there are probably levels to kinkyness. And even if it is not, Judging others is Wrong.

I saw a guy, who was kink shaming Gabrielle Union say, "Nipple Rubbing is My Sh*t". I thought about a comedian I heard years ago joke that nipple play made him feel vunerable & he wasn't into it. I wonder if that comedian has Facebook. I kid, I kid! That comedian wouldn't dare kink shame that guy. LoL

One day, Everyone Will (morally & legally) Like What They Like and It Will Be Alright!

Without My Flugga Mugga

God picked another pretty flower for his eternal bouquet. That flower was my brother, G. I know one day was going to be a day. I just thought maybe 10, 20 years later.

I'm sad. I was putting toiletries away and his body wash came up and I lost it. Twice I almost prepared his plate, like I always did. And that was just Day 1.
The thought of the "Rest of My Life" mocks me. It knows I don't know what lies before my family & I. All I know to do is to rest on these two facts.

1. Because of Cerebral Palsy, Doctors said he wouldn't live to be 5, 10, 15.

2. Because he is omniscient & all knowing, God proved he would live to see 49.

Fact 1 has had me watch my miracle of a brother surpass every surgery & ailment that this world threw at him. Fact 2 tells me, God had this all in control since his Day 1. All of this in his hand & we will understand it better by & by

My brother, G has left this world leaving my family & me a lot of lessons & memories. Even inside jokes like, Flugga Mugga. Hope that Flugga Mugga is eating peppermints & potatoes while getting up to "push play" because the tape ended.

Purple & Pink Clothes, Again?(October Awareness 2017)

Because You Never Know! That why I only wear pink & purple in public in October. You didn't ask, but I told you anyway. No, in offline land people have noticed & asked me about my outfit color choices in October.

October is the month where we talk more about Breast Cancer & Domestic Violence awareness. If you are new to my blog(Welcome), these are two topics that are very near & dear to my heart.

I have several people in my life who survivors of breast cancer or suffered from domestic violence. I have yet to do a walk(Keyword is Yet), but years ago I decided to let my look honor those I care about. When I wear makeup, I create a face using the colors pink & purple.(Reason is HERE) But I don't wear makeup all the time, I do wear body coverings all the time. And because of my stereotypical feminine style, I have enough purple & pink to wear most days of the October. Oh & I forget my pins are still on the previous tops.

But yes, it's all because you never know. You never know that your cashier ringing your groceries is a ten year BC survivor.

You maynever know why a friend is helping a friend with their makup is because of a blackeye caused by a lover's fist. That guy you have nicknamed Man Boobs, might have a lump and is scared to see a doctor. But your insults causes you not to know. And you'll never know when you look at national commercial, you would see the face of a former classmate, who once thought they were stupid for being a DV victim.

But you do know that we all should be educated, mindful, & awareness. So, Let Us All Be Those Three Things. Because you don't know, if it could be you next.

159 Equals No Life Balance

It's a Saturday and I am typing this post. A personal blogging rule of mine is "No Blogging on Saturday". With so many quiet moments on Saturday, it is easy to fill those with typing my opinion. And I try to choose to leave quiet moments, Quiet. Keyword is...

But this brief & rare break in this rule is inspired by a lady who filled her quiet moments with work. She worked so much, she passed away at 31 years old from Congested Heart Failure. I saw THIS story, the night before and my heart was saddened.

We humans, don't know balance. Right now the quote, "Work hard to Play hard" is making me cringe. Because we honestly believe that the way to live for generations. We grow up watching parents & grandparents toil long jobs. They wanted all needs met & some wants fulfilled. And think about all the hours of homework we were given when were younger. We actually taught at early ages to work, work, work.

The flip side is when we play, oh we really play. How many weekends can dancing & drinking the stress away do we really have. And since the studies tell us we can't "Catch up on sleep". We fill work free, silent hours to binge on the shows everyone is talking about. We are tired from work but playing causes us not to get the proper amount of rest & sleep also

We Must Find Balance. Our bodies are tired. 159 hours of extra anything can't be good. If lightly scheduling all the activities of the day is needed, make the plan. And pencil in a nap. We can't keep killing ourselves. It's Not a Natural Cause to the End of Life.

You're the Inspiration

Did you start singing the Chicago song, because of the title. LoL I hope you did. Just reminds me of  my 80s childhood.

I've been very bloggy(chatty) lately.

And if I never tell you all Thank You, let me tell you now.

Thank You to You All!!!

This platform was just an outlet for my thoughts. I hear & read so much and needed somewhere to purge. I'm not a complete empath. But like many people, I do have different levels of empathy. I know everybody doesn't want to care about what you care about, when you care it. But I had to get my thoughts out and here is where they go in online land.

The Citizens of the World are my Inspiration. The good, bad, & the in-between in us all could be a post on this blog. I don't post it all because life is not lived in order to have a blog. Life is for Living. And world thank you for living, so I can keep thinking.
