Three things…

Last night I had a chance to hear a former and most memorable professor, Dr. Leonard Moore, speak for the first time in long time at a community coalition meeting titled “Obama’s In, Now What?”

He said three things that has really stuck with me today…

  • You have to be ready to embrace uncertainty.
  • What’s power without purpose? and
  • What’s success without substance?

Thought I’d share! Something to think about. Have you defined your now what?

No, I’m not crazy…

So getting my daily dose of relationship advice over at the Fly Guy Chronicles, we get a chance to break down the ultimate getting to know you question.

“So why is a pretty lady like you single?” or… “So, why you ain’t got a man?”

Funny thing is while some may wait to the first date… I get this question on the first meeting. Like in the club…

So very inappropriate. Because I know what you are really saying is… “Bitch is you really crazy?!” [Yeah, I really meet bad speaking ass dudes.] As if something has to be wrong with me.

My answer: Because I choose to be! Just that simple…

Could it be that many have tried and many have failed?

Seriously, what do they expect you me to say… “Well it’s because I’m a weedhead, that supports my habit by tricking in the late night hours and I’m running from Offer Rickey because I wrote few dozen hot checks! I’m gonna text 72 times in the next hour and if you don’t call me back I’m gonna paste nasty statuses on FB about you!”

So no, I’m not crazy. I’m single by choice. Consider yourself lucky if I say I’m single because I am quick to say I got a man… Force of habit. *shrugs*

When you think about it, it really is a silly ass question to ask someone. Taking the time to get to know a person will prove whether or not there is reason they are single. Good or bad. Plus, you’re not going to get the truth anyway…

It will be the last person that they dated fault. If they are crazy, you’ll see the signs. Well, let’s hope you do because these Jiggas and Joes are sneaky these days.

By the way… I remixed Ay Bey Bey’s song!

So if you loved it, then you shoulda put a ring on it… If you liked, then you shoulda acted like it!
