As we all know we have had one SUPER TUESDAY this week and sir Barack Obama is up by only 4 delegates. YES!!!! but anyway I'm not saying who you should vote for in the least (the pic says it all - lol) but either way Hil or Obami here will do - cuz that means change is coming - well at least soon - hopefully...anyway for all those who have not or choose not to vote during the primaries - i won't say shame on you now, because you may still be torn between the two and/or haven't a clue, so try and pay attention to the debates, speeches, etc to catch up. YouTube is full of all the video you need to understand and compare (everyone and may explain why they are no longer in the running) - if thats not enough - check CNN, MSNBC and any other politically driven website/network. So please make sure you are registered in time to vote during the primaries if that is what you choose to do, but especially for that November election and make a choice that just may be one vote to change your life. VOTE OR DIE!!!!

WORLD AIDS DAY - DEC 1st

AIDS has been around 26 years and has claimed the lives of more than 30 million people. AIDS comes after someone is diagnosed as HIV+. HIV can be maintained, but not cured. You can contract it from sexual contact with a positive individual and intravenous drug usage. One may not have symptoms of the virus, and can very well have the virus. You cannot tell who has HIV/AIDS and who does not. As a black woman it is for me to be tested regularly, partner or no partner, and to know how this epidemic affects me.

Here are just some stats:
-AIDS is the leading cause of death of African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44
-Black women account for 72% of all the new HIV/AIDS cases in women (way too many)
-67% of black women with HIV contracted it from heterosexual sex (Get him tested too)
-African American woman are 23 times more likely to infected with AIDS than white
-African American men are almost nine times more likely to be infected with AIDS than white (9 out of 10?)

So...

Ask questions, remain educated, and GET TESTED

Public Service Announcement: SoOo there ARE beaches in Chicago...

...but who cares. I am talking to my homegirl and she reminds me that there is always someone to perpetuate the vicious cycle of n*ggas ain't sh*t!!! I had once upon a time had a strong disliking for the male species then realized well maybe they aren't so bad - but always and forever there is someone to prove me wrong. My dude, her dude, and even people who I don't even know have discouraging stories. There are people whose lives are virtually ruined by things that are going on because of a dude. I'm sure there are females out there who have f*cked up a couple heads but it seems like dudes run around and do damage knowingly and could give two sh*ts.

You have the case of the not the boyfriend or husband but the homie/lover/friend - where things for a lady may be blurry and she is always confused about what to do and what not to do. Normal women - well in the case of me and my people - tend to find that person, that one person that makes you melt and even though he may be trash - stick to it just because. Just because that's what we do. Why deal with all these people that you could care less about - when the one you want is in front of your face? Or so you think -

The one person that you think is a prize possession can be the rotten apple with a worm waiting to poke its head out - literally - He may be that person that -little do you know- can't keep his "head" to just you and him. He insist on doing him - keeping his secrets - making babies, spreading grossness, and lying. Its the best when you have a liar on your hands and knows he's lying - you've got the gut feeling but no proof in the pudding - but I aint boo boo the fool, babe. I'll sniff you out til the truth comes to pass or I find something that incriminates you and my soul. Woman can be vicious and men can be worst, I mean - MEN ARE THE NEW WOMEN, haven't you heard. Nowadays women don't give a f*ck and men are being bitches but there are some of us who are still traditional gals at heart.

So guys, please think about those other than yourself - hide your condoms, period, point, blank - whoever your are giving the business to, regardless of what they say or you think - knows what you are using with them and if you tell them that they are the "only one", until proven otherwise they will always think there is someone else. AND if there is someone else - THROW THE DAMN WRAPPERS IN THE TRASH - besides that being nasty, you are putting yourself out there for verbal execution. If you don't want to deal with that don't do it or do it better. Shit stings when it happens but let her find out afterwards when you are gone or away - please believe it will be worst. You may not even know why you got attitude, cursed out for dumb shit or the VM- but she will never forget and sooner or later you will know.

And my dear ladies, if you can- think like a dude and get him before he gets you. Or just leave them alone for a while. Maybe you need to regroup and maybe, just maybe your knight and shining armor may come your way - and if not hopefully a cutie will be able to be blessed by your presence. I mean I'm over crying over dudes and being ho-hum about situations I can no longer control. I say let go and let god. Yes deep down inside me I am probably still hurting from a few things and that person still makes me feel as though they are lower than hell itself, but to keep my sanity I must believe that there is someone normal who has all that I need out there in the random abyss of the e-world and allows me to believe the Peaches from Georgia are O so Sweet - we shall see.
