"Mix it UP a bit"

I say mix it UP a bit! Im a huge fan and advocate for inter and bi racial dating. I think that its important that we embrace and experiment with opposite races and cultures. Ive been dating a mixed guy for over 3yrs years now, (I guess you can consider that inter racial dating). And being in an inter racial relationship has been one of the greatest experiences I've ever had! I've learned so much. I know some people might think that "whites" don't have "authentic" cultural characteristics and or traditions; I.e like Asians or Jews but, thats far from the truth. Im not saying that people should force themselves to date outside of their race, Im just simply encouraging people to keep an open mind. Dating inside my race became too familiar and boring. And though my guy is black and white, I still feel a sense of opposite cultural and diversity. I love seeing Asians with Blacks and Whites with Blacks and so forth and so fourth!

I could careless about the discrimination and acceptance of others. People are always going to have something negative to say, whether its about who you're dating, what you're wearing or where you work.

So I challenge you, you and you to try something new! Ask out that hot girl or guy that you always thought was "cute for a White guy or Asian girl"! Who knows, they may end up being your soulmate like my guy did! :)

Fashion Killer (Part II)

I hate fashion, I just like to look nice..... quoted by -Yours truly.
I live by this quote everyday and will never neglect it! I hate everything that fashion has surfaced to be! To me, fashion has become an overrated, follow the leader, often non-original and trying too hard to be someone you're not type of gesture. Feel free to differ. But I must say that wearing the latest brands and tryin to look good for others is foolish and irrelevant. And then there's the part where one must define wat being fashionable includes? Because most of the people who think they're "fashionistas" have convinced themeselves of such. (And self inclusion dosent count)! It seems as if fashion has become an infested fad and I don't want to be part of it! Everyone thinks that because they own a Bettysville bag, a pair of Ray Bans and shop at vintage thrift stores they're fashionistas! NEWS FLASH.... it makes you non-original and jus like everyone else! But me, I like to look nice, I could careless about what's in or out, new or old, cheap or expensive....... F**k fashion, Im a killer! , a fashion killer! And you fake fashionistas, have just been SERVED!

START Snitching!

So we all heard of the saying, "Snitches get stitches".... but do they really?

I thought the snitching phase had died down, but apparently not. Because recently I've been hearing it all over again. And to be honest, I get sick to my stomach when I hear people say that! Why would someone want to save or protect a criminal who has harmed or killed someone!? Why should a murderer or someone who will harm again be allowed to? I mean someone help me out here! Lets say the victim was your best friend, mother or your child. Would'nt you want someone to come forward?

And it seems like the whole 'snitching' deal is most popular in 'urban' neighborhoods. Why is that? Is it some type of 'hood code of conduct'? And if so why? Snitching dosent make you any less of a man, if anything it makes you a better one. Its one thing to lack class or respect, but its another thing to lack human descency.

And then there's this 'get stitches' ordeal. People have this crazy conotation that if they snitch, they're gonna die! Like really? Hop off of that excuse. The chances of someome killing you are slim to none! And Remaining anonymous is always optional. And besides, I'd rather die doing the right thing, than live with doing the wrong thing. Its a conscious that no one should want to befriend. Im a advocate for 'snitchig' and if need be, or God forbid, one day I have to.... then so be it! It would'nt take the interegation of a cop or the tears of a broken family for me to come forward.

Maybe the word 'snitch' is the problem. Is "saving a life" ok? Or what about "helping a family"? Does that sound better?

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
