Its 2011...

"Should old acquaintence be forgot..."

The present time is 12:50am on 1/1/11 and I have decided that one of my daily things is to blog more often. Not because I want to reblog foolishness or any entertainment "news"...but to really speak my mind and let the world into my little corner. Read my thoughts, feel what I am feeling, and just to get shit off my chest (which was the initial reason for me starting this thingy last summer...

Now on with the first entry for the year and its all about what I want to do this year...RESOLUTIONS!

Resolutions are supposedly a guideline to what you wanna do better, different, or more challenging. Some people set out to do this and that...stop smoking, lose weight, be kinder to the general population as it is. BLAH! What I wanna do for 2011 is really simple... I WANT TO DO BETTER! In all aspects of my life; whether its work, church, or just my everyday journey with what time I have left on the third rock from the son.

BUT! There are some things that I want to vent about...as far as resolutions are concerned...its just like lent. We make all these promises and what nots and then 30 minutes later something has gone terribly wrong. Most are things I've seen on Twitter so if you tweeted or re-tweeted any of the following things...Yes I'm talking to / about you.

1.) "I'm gonna leave all toxic relationships in 2010..." No you not! You gonna run with the same messy bitches that talk about the same people who arent in your circle of fools. You gonna deal with the same trifling ass nigga that you gonna keep laying down with and taking whatever proceeds you can get out of him (legal / illegal) by any and all means necessary. You gonna still be dealing with the same broad that you ran enough game on that you and both are actually believing the shit and are STILL delusional. And at any rate you or her is STILL gonna be "The Duck" in this relationship. You gonna still hang out with the same niggaz that are gonna game on you behind your back, hang along with you cause you got a "good heart" and you buying drinks, got ins at the club, or got a ride... Ima need yall to do better

2.) "In 2011, Im gonna stack this cheese" Once again you lie... whatever money you gonna get is gonna be spent on a various and sundried list of shit whether you can afford it or not. You gonna still wanna be "that nigga/bitch" in the club with your same toxic friends...You still gonna want to be first in line at Foot Locker when the new J's come out...You gonna still be wanting to spend 3 bills on True Religion jeans when your gas tank is almost on E...and lets not talk about runnin back and forth to the airport cause you wanna go to the Super Bowl (without a ticket) or to All Star Weekend (without a ticket) or the BET Hip Hop Awards (with/without a ticket...why would you really wanna go there in the first place). Be the first on your block with the newest phone or whatever the gadget of the month is... but yo kids need milk/diapers/a role model, you aint got no insurance, you called Entergy to get an extension on your bill - just bullshit that you aint done yet to say you "handled your business".

NOW CONVERSELY IF YOU CAN AFFORD ALL THAT SHIT AND STILL STACK YOUR BREAD...KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DOIN AND DISREGARD THIS

3.) "I need a new man in 2011..." No you dont. What you need is an attitude adjustment and to stop acting like a bitch. If you got a good man, who has an education, goes to church AND believes in the Lord, no kids, and handles his business and you complaining about what he dont do...9 outta 10 YOU the one fucking up. Get off that man's back and see what he goes through eryday and applaud him for doin the right thing. Stop all that nag shit in his ear cause your girl got this, that and the other and you dont. Maybe she's working and got her own...now if she got a man that showers her with things and yours dont, but he's trying you cant be mad.... Now if yo man is a shiftless, trifling, sleep all day, do nothin ass nigga, by all means get a new man, but while you out there still get that attitude straightened out. Fellas this shit goes for you too...cause I know some of yall are caught in situations that you cant / wont get out of because of convience but playa...the pussy aint THAT good...do yourself a favor and DO BETTER

4.) "I'm gonna be the next big thing in 2011...watch and see"... NIGGA PLEASE you not Wayne, Em, Jigga, Trey, Nikki or whomever else is always in the "HOT" conversation. If you put the work in and are seriously on your grind and good enough to blow up, then do so. But if you still screaming "COMING SOON" and been screaming that shit for 3 years...STOP! Don't be mad UPS is hiring... BITCH PLEASE...you will NOT be America's Next Top Model, just because a nigga done told you how cute you are and how fine you are or cause a GWAC (guy with a camera) says he's gonna shoot you in bikinis or less and you gon be the next Buffie the Body cause you got hella ass and titties but look like Deacon Jones and you THINK you cute, then fall for it... BTW the crouched down backshot or the lean with it poses that you do for the pictureman in the club every weekend are NOT considered poses that will get you in a magazine. YOUNG NIGGA...unless you got THAT special talent that will make you the next Michael Jordan or the next Drew Brees you better have some kind of back up plan (read: GRADUATE from somebodies school), cause if you dont you gon end up like dude from Above The Rim flying off the roof.

5.) "My swag is gonna be on ________" ... First let's stop using the word "swag", its over, done, finished and most importantly overused and played out. If you have a certain persona use it to your advantage, but if you have to keep announcing your "s-word" is such and so then you really DON'T have one. You got a way of walking and conducting yourself, fine. Someone will see it and comment on it themselves. You gonna always "do you" and you gonna have to handle yourself accordingly...Set your own trends and don't follow them...be your own man/woman. Invent yourself first, then if that dont work re-invent yourself and keep on til you get it right...

At any rate...whatever it is you gonna do in 2011 do your best. And please (directed especially to young African Americans) STOP KILLING EACH OTHER...its not a good look... HAPPY NEW YEAR
