D.C Finally Did It

For those of you who don't know (or can't read this huge colorful sign to the left of this blog), Im a HUGE supporter and advocate for the gay community (although Im 100% heterosexual). I respect the lifestyles that same sex couples have chosen to live.

Im proud to announce that same-sex marriages are now legal in DC! We are the 6th state to acknowledge same-sex marriges in the U.S. Late last year the bill was being proccessed and reviewed, and March 3 of this year the bill was passed! Its ashame that it took this long for recognition of happiness. The sex of a person should have never been relevant. Unfortunaltley it was, but no longer! Thanks to the persistence and hard work of the openly gay DC Councilman David Catania and Mayor Anthony Fenty, the gays in the nations capital are now able to live incandescently happy as they ought to!

Special congratulations to my gay friends Brittany and Jarel :)

Dear dad,

haven't seen you in years....... better yet my whole life. But not once have I cried or blamed myself for your absence. Never been the weak minded insecure girl saddened by the rejection of her own dad. And I never will (I guess I got that trait from my mom). But I do however often think about your reasons for abondoning your two twin daughters at the age of 2. I actually laugh out loud sometimes at the lack of courage your punka** had to take care of your responsibliites. I laugh even harder when I think about how successful Im going to be, and how you will never have the chance to be a part of that. Ha! (knee slapper)! Shame on you. I think it would only be fair to let you know that you missed out on 21years of pure greatness! My sis and I are doing well thanks to you. Your self dismissal from our lives, turned out to be the best thing that you could have ever done for us. So I guess this is the part where I say thank you?? But I would'nt give you the satisfaction of that. So here's a quiet head nod and FOUR middle fingers UP! Two from me and two from my sister!

Sincerely,
daddy's little girl

BlackPeople"Racist".com

Its 2:30am in the morning and Im watching Jerry Springer. A commercial comes on advertising online dating for singles. Now thats not the crazy part. I mean thats pretty normal. But what wasnt ok was the name and the intended audience! "Black People Meet.com!" Are you kidding me! So I jumped out of my bed angry and mad as hell! How dare black people complain about how racism still exists when they're the ones keeping the existence alive? And its crazy how the advertisers weren't even discrete with it! The commercial said the word "black" 100 times and only had black people in the advertisment, and if that wasn't enough, the name "Black People Meet" put the cherry on top of the cake! Black people really messed up this time. I wonder how many whites are looking at this website as an escapegoat to make a new website entitled "For whites". And as soon as that happens, black people will be crossed and enraged. Im an African American and even I can see the double standard between this racism thing. Its really sickeneing to see my own people yell racsism when they're the main ones being the racist. The website needs to be abolished or redone and retitled. It seems like African Americans feel as though they can do or say anything negative towards or about whites just because of our past. And thats totally wrong! Racism is Racism whether its white to black, vice versa or vice race. I mean c'mon, when are black people gonna meet reality?

So you think you got it bad huh?

I went to sleep complaining about my hair, clothes and school. I woke feeling the same way. I tweeted my morning tweet and noticed that a lot of people were talking about Haiti's. So me being a future journalist and all, I decided to research it. And wow!!! Every complaint that I went to bed and woke up with ceased me! A body here, a body there, a head smashed beneath rocks and rubble and pavement and dust attached to the body's of the surviving! Schools, homes, cathedrals and family's smashed and destroyed. No time to evacuate, or protect themselves from this deadly disaster!

The body count is in the hundred thousands....... and counting........

I decided that my hair looked fine, and there was no need to go clothes shopping and that school would be ok. But its as shame that it took a tragedy as such, for me to notice those things. As a whole, I think that its vital that we start to become more grateful for the things that we do have, as well as our loved ones. If you're a religious person, keep the families of the Haiti's victims in your prayers. Here's a website where you can donate money to Haiti's. http://tech.spreadit.org/yele-haitiwww-yele-org/ or http://twibbon.com/join/Haiti

"Im jus sayin"....

Hi, Im La'Rhonda and Im addicted to being opinionated. Ok sooo I have a slight idea about where this came from. THANKS ALOT MOM!!! I don't really know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But I know its not something that I don't want to change! Im quick to say whatever comes to my mind and consequences don't really exist to me or it could be that I just don't care about them. Its something about my soul being held captive by the rim of my mouth while my tounge is begging and screaming :LET ME OUT to tell that girl that she was indeed WRONG for wearing those little shorts that clearly shows her newly-developed and unattractive cellulite, and to let that guy know that he has no chance in hell with me, or to let my friend know that he needs to get rid of his lame girlfriend (who will remain nameless) that has nothing to offer him. So you see people, being overly opinated isn't all that negative. Because at the end of the day I feel incandescently FREE and at ease!!!! Lol. I'd rather tell the truth and clear my mind, than hold a lie and have a wondering would've, could've, should've conscious. You feel me? But guys? I hope I don't seem like a total b**ch who has no self-control. Because Im really not a b**ch... I jus "lack" self-control, or thereof. LOL =)

Double the pleasure, Double the Fun!

So some of you may or may not be aware that I am twin! And unlike fashion, celebrities and college, being a twin is NOT overrrated! We get to say and do things that even bestfreinds can't do! Being in the same wound together for 9months kinda made us inseperateable! She's the single most important person in my life. Before my bestfriends, mother and boyfreind... my twin is numero uno! Our "twin(ship)" is deeper than any brother or sister relationship. And I don't care who begs to differ!

Im sooooooo blessed that God gave me another half! My life is awesome because of her!

I love her!

I love her!
