Because I said so

I was listening to the radio with my Dad last week and I, of all people, shook my head at the ridiculousity that is getting radio play. I told him that I felt sorry for my child because I can only imagine how terrible music will be when she is a teenager. My Dad said they won't even be singing/rapping then. They just gone get on and say "tweet me, text me; tweet me, text me." Sad case indeed. He then went on to say that there will still be R&B, Blues and Jazz and I honestly begged to differ. Who is making music like that right now? Not nobody! There is no Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill and Gerald Levert of my generation and there damn sure won't be any for my daughters'. Although Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank tried to duplicate LSG with TGT, neither one of the groups had any success after their debut song. LSG's was My Body, what was TGT's? Exactly. These poor children will never feel the way we felt when we first heard the hottest slow jam or even better,

There is a such thing as constructive criticism, but most often than not, the person giving it is not constructive enough and the person receiving does not want to be criticized. I was told something last night that would probably hurt most people but it only made me stronger. I mean it hurt for a few seconds but after the anger was released I was so much stronger because of it. My daughter's father is a very attractive man. A few of my girlfriends beg to differ (or at least they say they do but you can never trust a woman around your man), but I see with my own four eyes the way women of all ages act when he's steps into a room.

It was a blow to my hustle. Yesterday, he and I had a conversation about his new girl, my new guy, our new things. He showed me a photo and I laughed at the s

How many of you are still afraid of your parents? More specifically your mothers? Well I am. Very afraid of my mother, what she will say and especially what she would do if I were to do certain things that I know she is against.  One of those things at the top of her list is, sleeping in the same room, bed, sniffing distance of my boyfriend. I had this conversation a while ago with my roommate and I have had it plenty of times with my daughters father. This is so written in stone, it's not even a thought in my mind to question the authority of the lady no matter what the situation, who the boyfriend. If we are not married, it won't be happening. Shucks, I'm scared to even ask about sleeping in the same bed as my husband while in her house, she'd probably still say no! My roommate, along with many others, thinks it should be okay if you already have a child together. She said, "we're not going to do anything with our son in between us." My daughter&
