Here’s the problem with most Men! (yeah, another Chris Brown post)</title><content type='html'>(Found this on one of my fave BLOGS and just had to share, &lt;a href="http://ohellnawlblog.com/newohnblog/2009/02/10/heres-the-problem-with-most-men-yeah-another-chris-brown-post/"&gt;http://ohellnawlblog.com/newohnblog/2009/02/10/heres-the-problem-with-most-men-yeah-another-chris-brown-post/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with most men is that they are still b!tchazz boys. Physical adult males for the most part refuse to grow up and become the men that nature and God intended them to be. Most males are afraid of manhood. Afraid of responsibility. Afraid of facing the problems of reality and tackling those problems with the coolness and intelligence of a well reared woman. That’s fvcking right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fvcking post is about b!tchazz motherfvckers that like to lay their fvcking hands on women. Now before Folk gets too far on this topic, WOMEN! Any man put his d@mned hands on you DO NOT DESERVE THE PU$$Y YOU SIT ON OR THE TOKEN OF YOUR TIME EVER! Neither does that man gets a second chance to put his hands on you. LEAVE! PERIOD. End of discussion.&lt;br /&gt;Now to you punkazz motherfvckers who like to hit women. You deserve to have your nuts shaved with a cheese grater. No excuse, no pause. Salt application afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, to this motherfvcking child known as Chris Brown. And Chris, if you hit that young woman then you showed the world that you are indeed still a b!tchazz whiney azz hairless balls b!tch! Word on the street is that the fight escalated as a result of Chris allegedly confronting Rhianna over giving him an alleged STD… [pause] See boys are taught to deal with life physically. To confront their problems with force. With attitude. With POWER! Wrong…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now a female co-worker of Folk’s brought up the possibility that Rhianna possibly didn’t know she had a (alleged) STD. Wrong… Artist are commodities of wealthy people. Modern day minstrel actors, whose primary goal is to make more money for their masters while they earn meager bread crumbs in comparison to what they make for their pimps. And these top dollar pimps gonna make sure their hos are in top condition. Hell, Folk wouldn’t be surprised if doctors and nurses didn’t sleep with these fvckers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…but Folk digress. …”But Folk, this lady drop a disease on your boy. Sheer reason to check a b!tch right there.” Folk heard this argument too today… Uhhhhhhh…. NO! Again, the problem with boyz. “Okay Folk, How would you handle this?” Folk would handle a situation like this like a well reared woman. Tactfully, precisely, and decisively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doctor tells Folk he has STD. Folk questions if it’s curable. Folk spends excessive amounts of loot to find out if sidekick was aware she had disease without letting sidekick know. Finds out sidekick didn’t know. Everything okay. Moves on together, discussing how to deal with the issue together.&lt;br /&gt;Finds out sidekick knew some time ago, before she started kicking it with Folk?…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey baby. How you doing today? Fine? Good? How was your day at work? That’s great baby. Folk cooked for you. Got dinner all ready for you and thangs. Sit right on down here. Yeah. Got these candles and thangs lit for ya.”[says prayer and begins eating]&lt;br /&gt;“You like? Folk glad you like.” [Chats the rest of dinner away and gives kiss on forehead] “Got some desert for ya! It’s your favorite.” [brings ol'girl's favorite desert to table and queues song by Orange Juice Jones, "Walking in the Rain"]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dig in… Oh Folk forgot to tell you Folk had a meeting last week. Yeah, Folk went to get checked up and thangs. Folk had a little itch. Doc, said Folk had contracted a STD. You believe that baby? Folk told that doc surely he was bugging because Folk don’t sleep around. Folk been here with you baby and you alone and Folk knows Folk’s baby ain’t been sleeping around or got no STD, right baby!?! [cuts off any attempt to speak] “You enjoy your dinner? Come on, Let’s not be late to Clive Davis little pre Grammy party.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dances the night away at Clive’s party as if nothing happens. Goes to Grammys and do my thang with girl in tow. After Grammys take ol’girl out on the carpet, holding hands, and have a brief interview with selected news crew with video cameras running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yeah, we still kicking it and Folk loved ol’girl until Folk found out she gave Folk a STD.” “Here’s the Paper work.” [starts crying and sobbing] “Folk can’t believe she did this to Folk. Folk loved here like no one else, Folk can’t take this no more.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[hands copies of the doctor results (for both parties of course), and runs to Folk's car quickly and alone. having told body guard via text while back stage to keep ol'girl away from me and the car. Leaving ol'girl right there to deal with the mess she began.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fighting. No charges. No jail. No punkazzness. Just pure finesse. Grabs some sympathy points in the process. Teaches all other future women ‘not to fvck with Folk’ in one nice swoop. Sure there would be some haters. But let the haters hate while the money pile up. Can’t make no money in the pen. Folk out for advertisement dollars. Sign Folk up for Monostat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men, be men. Treat your women right and you’ll never have to worry about this sh!t unless she’s just a pure evil vaginal mucus spawn from the alley way of hades. Then you’re just fvcked. No matter what, don’t hit women…. Well unless she’s beating yo’ azz like a man. Then…. Nahhhhh… Just kidding. Speak on it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-475297151129664230?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/475297151129664230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=475297151129664230' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/475297151129664230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/475297151129664230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2009/02/heres-problem-with-most-men-yeah.html' title='….

Rightly so. But selfishly, I'm more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world's attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we're all hot-tempered single mothers who can't keep a man and, according to CNN's "Black in America," documentary, those of us who aren't street-walking crack addicts are on the verge of dying from AIDS. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As writer Rebecca Walker put it on her Facebook page: "CNN should call me next time they really want to show diversity and meet real black women that nobody seems to talk about.''&lt;br /&gt;Like Walker, I too know more than my share of black women who have little in common with the black female images I see in the media. My "sistafriends" are mostly college educated, in healthy, productive relationships and have a major aversion to sassy one-liners. They are teachers, doctors and business owners. Of course, there are those of us who never get the chance to pull it together. And we accept and embrace them—but their stories can't and shouldn't be the only ones told. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet pop culture continues to hold a very unevolved view of African-American women. Take HBO's new vampire saga "True Blood." Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can't escape the stereotype of being neck-swirling, eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where is Claire Huxtable when you need her?&lt;br /&gt;These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It won't be easy. Since her emergence on the national scene, Obama has been deemed radical, divisive and the adjective that no modern-day black woman can live without: angry. Thankfully, so far, she's endured these demeaning accusations with a smile and shrug—at least in public. But if she does end up in the White House, continuing to dial back her straightforward, vibrant personality isn't the answer. In the same way that Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy and Hillary Clinton each redefined what it meant to be First Lady, Michelle will forge her own path. Not only will she draw the usual criticisms, but she'll be open to some new ones too. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I eagerly await the public reaction if Sasha and Malia ever sport cornrows or afro puffs on the South Lawn. And if Michelle decides to champion a program that benefits black youth, will her critics slam her for being too parochial?&lt;br /&gt;To be fair, Hillary Clinton's early involvement in her husband's administration (think health-care reform) brought a major backlash. But there's no real evidence of Michelle Obama's desire to be a huge presence in her husband's potential administration. Besides helping military families, we don't even have many clues about what projects she might tackle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever she does, I hope she doesn't fall victim to critics with little point of reference. Take this month's issue of Town and Country magazine. An article—written by a white female reporter—offers advice to both potential First Ladies. The writer suggests Cindy McCain let her "personality and experience shine" and motivate others to give back. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Michelle, the writer suggests that she avoid "popping off when your guard is down" and to be careful "about how, when and if she injects her ethnicity … into her platform as First Lady."&lt;br /&gt;The underlying message is that the last thing anyone needs to be reminded of is that Michelle Obama is all black, unlike her husband, who is mixed—as the writer points out for seemingly no reason.&lt;br /&gt;And that speaks to the larger issue that Michelle Obama could pose for the media. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African American women (and no, Halle Berry, Oprah and Beyoncé don't count), little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will become a stand-in for us all. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of adoring fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. African-American blogs such as Sisterlicious, Black Girls Rock and That Black Girl Group have all written about what they'd like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. As contributor Felicia Jones wrote on one blog, "Michelle Obama will be the hero my little girls have been looking for. The hero doesn't have to shake her booty or point her finger to get noticed and respected. My little girls finally have a role model." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise, confidence and intellect will go a long way in changing an image that's been around for far too long. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-345840961749220726?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/345840961749220726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=345840961749220726' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/345840961749220726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/345840961749220726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-michelle-can-teach-us.html' title='What Michelle Can Teach Us'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRsgW2p69II/AAAAAAAAABs/Z5vCfLrAhPA/s72-c/michelle-obama-SO02-hsmall-vertical.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-4260255713549784867</id><published>2008-10-30T09:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T10:23:34.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>LONDON Bridges gone BE fallin down....</title><content type='html'>I am leaving for London tomorrow @10am.

Yet, all is well again! First off, my son went to VA to finish high school with his father. I played hard, but inside I was soft and lonely. I miss playing Uno with him and just hanging out watching him grow up and become a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've moved twice, once to escape the smallness of the space, the next time to escape the small mindedness of someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DISCLAIMER *Please don't get me PHUKED UP, I am from Bham and we do still shoot muphukers, he was just an Ole Stalking ass neer, don't get me wrong, there was No Fear in mine heart, I do still got that thang!! Don't play, I just didn't want nobody to know where I lay my head, feel me??)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got my Mini-Cooper, which I can be seen wizzing around town on any given day, my 07 CLS 550 Benz aka my Dream car is sitting in the garage, looking lonely. I drive it maybe 1 or 2 times a week, I'll probably sell it, since I never drive it anymore, I love the freedom that i get driving the Mini, I can't explain it, you have to drive one to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I purchased 2 more properties in Atlanta, they are ok, it's just being in Cali trying to have houses out of state is a true learning experience. When you know better you do better!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I celebrated my 37th bday, at home! I am now wearing reading glasses, although stylish, I rocking 2 extra eyes ;-)&lt;br /&gt;For my Bday i just wanted to chill, it was cool! But I will make up for it next week when I go to Bham for the Magic City Classic!! Trust and believe it's bout to go down!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found out a few things I won't divulge just yet about a close friend who turned out to be a lying, stealing, whore, mule, escort licensed, nasty, disease ridden.... person! I will explore that more in the coming weeks, trust!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to MAGIC in Las Vegas and All Star weekend in Vegas and acked a complete DONKEY!! I then turned around and went right back to Vegas for the fight!! Like I said it went down (That pic in the Bar at the MGM Fight weekend!!!)&lt;/p&gt;All in all it's been an adventure and I wouldn't trade it for the world. As my email states &lt;a href="mailto:AllOverAgain@gmail.com"&gt;AllOverAgain@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; !!!

And who you calling a Hoe??!!!</title><content type='html'>Now I must say, I was shocked that Imus aka "Whitey" bka &lt;strong&gt;Cracka Ass Craka&lt;/strong&gt; let that one slip from his lip, not disappointed, just shocked.  But what I can't understand is how can we get all mad at Imus, yet let Snoop keep thinking it's cool to talk slick and tell us how hoes need to brang him his money out his trap.  Now this clown had the nerve to say that Rap music lyrics and Imus were in no way the same!  Somebody tell this Monkey ass neer!  That his Momma, his wife, his sisters and his daughters are those sisters that he keeps calling Tricks and Hoes!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has a new song that has the words, "Take it out yo ass"! as the hook.  Now why is it okay for him, or Lil Wayne, who is best known for "Makin it Rain on nem Hoes", to call us everythang but a child of God, but when Cracka Ass Cracka says a mumbling word, Rev. Al who has called the Whitey the Devil and Rhyming ass Jessie "aka Baby on da side" who also called Brooklyn "Hymie Town".  Who are these two clowns that always jump they asses up in the camera, if &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Barack Obama doesn't hurry up and become the Official NEGRO&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, I am going to move to Fucking Australia.  I just can't take it no mo!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I have a question when did being a dancer become synonymous with being a hoe.  I've frequented "Scrip" Clubs, as we say in Bham (Crib:-).  All I saw were women who looked like me.  Now I saw a few stragglers, like there was one in The ATL @ Strokers who looked to have a &lt;strong&gt;"&lt;em&gt;FRESH"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Knife wound on her thigh.  Otherwise, they were just sisters trying to make it the best way they knew how.  So I could never look down on them, because for the Grace of God there go I.  And I try to keep that fresh in my thoughts whenever I might start &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Smelling&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; MYSELF!!!  You know acking all high and mighty!! Don't Play!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get me wrong I hate nothing worse than a woman who gives away &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;"TAIL"!!!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  I ain't saying it's right, but I dislikes Nothing more than a fool!  Get paid for your labor, whether it's picking peaches or cotton, hard labor deserves hard money!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, ya'll know I gets started and will run all over the place.  All this to say we can't really say too much about Imus, until we can get our &lt;strong&gt;OWN&lt;/strong&gt; men to respect us more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Mudear used to say, "You best take the stick out yo eye, 'fore you go pointing at the stick in somebody elses"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Now let the choir say, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Amen"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-8028387129497979080?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/8028387129497979080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=8028387129497979080' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/8028387129497979080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/8028387129497979080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2007/04/who-you-calling-nappy-headed-and-who.html' title='Who you calling Nappy headed?

So here is the latest DRAMA!!!&lt;br /&gt;I went to a Reggae concert last saturday, yeah it was DA BOMB!!! Ok I know we have heard of Male HOODRATS, yet I met him and know him personally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind you I was on my 2nd bottle of Moet, so my judgement was off just a wee bit!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6'4" Green eyes, 40 years old, half Indian (Not the Red dot in the middle of forehead type :-) Beautiful Brotha, in tha dark that is...&lt;br /&gt;Now here is his tale, babyboy has 4 different baby momma's, did 12 years in the PENITENTIARY (Not the movie) for robbing jewelry stows (Ebonic translation: Store)&lt;br /&gt;He has tombstones tattoed on both arms to represent the "DEAD" years as he calls it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is not all, I had to see this in the daylight, so after conversing for a couple of days (I had to know more because I could not believe that baby was really this sad).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was like, "&lt;em&gt;Yeah, come by my Momma &amp;amp; Grandmomma's house&lt;/em&gt;." So I'm thinking I'll have to make two stops, NAW!!! How bad could it be?? Why in De Hell did I ask that. Lawd, he had me meet him @The Four Corners OF DEATH!!! Gang territory and of course I am in a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;RED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Rental car, scared to deaf because the area belongs to a gang that really prefers the color &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;BLUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So of course I am hiding my ATM card in my underwear. I pick him up, since he said he would be at the corner, I am thinking he'll be @the corner in his car and I am going to follow him..... No he is &lt;strong&gt;STANDING&lt;/strong&gt; on the corner wearing his favorite SHORT SET, looking as if he is about to commence a drive by, check this, with a Joint behind his ear, mind you he is a two-time felon, so he is just begging for his third strike so he can go back and kick it with the homies!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya'll he jumps in my whip and I am like, oh no!!! We go round the corner to his Grandmomma &amp;amp; Momma's house (that's where ERYBODY lives).&lt;br /&gt;I have to stop because I am at the office and I am about to scream I am laughing and cryninin just reliving the whole episode....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we get there and his youngest baby (of his 6 kids) is there and she is a beautiful green-eyed, papersack brown lil girl. One earring in, one barret in her curly afro, her pamper as heavy as my son.. and he talks to her like she is one homies standing on the block.&lt;br /&gt;Then we are outside on his MOMMA'S and his GRANDMOMMA's porch and he is blowing smoke all up in the babies face and I am telling him to at least turn his head. He was looking like he could whoop my ass, but it's too soon.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells the lil girl that I am her future Step-Momma, now you know I am about to scream....&lt;br /&gt;I took off running, thinking.... I see how some brovahs feel......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just had to share, hope you all have a great week....

I love that movie. It always seems to be talking directly to me. Every time I watch this movie, I see something new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my favorite quote from the ENTIRE movie and I feel as if it's just as prevalent today as it was in the time period this movie was set. When Sophia (Oprah) says to Ms. Celie (Whoopi), "&lt;em&gt;All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I'd have to fight in my own house! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I loves Harpo, God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead 'fo I let him beat me!"&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that was a statement for you a%^. Damn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I really did want Ms. Celie to stab Mr @ the Xmas dinner table but what she said and did was more powerful than taking that clowns' life:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001923/"&gt;Shug&lt;/a&gt;: [after telling Albert that she and her husband are leaving] &lt;em&gt;Celie is coming with us. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000418/"&gt;Albert&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;What? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001923/"&gt;Shug&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Celie is coming with us to Memphis. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000418/"&gt;Albert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;em&gt; Over my dead body&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001923/"&gt;Shug&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;You satisfied? That what you want? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000418/"&gt;Albert&lt;/a&gt;: [to Celie] &lt;em&gt;NOW What's wrong with you? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000155/"&gt;Celie&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;You a low down dirty dog, that's what's wrong. Time for me to get away from you, and enter into Creation. And your dead body'd be just the welcome mat I need. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0128360/"&gt;Old Mr.&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Boy, you goin' let this ol' nappy-headed girl cuss you out like that? You sittin' at the head of your own dinner table and actin' like a waiter. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000155/"&gt;Celie&lt;/a&gt;: [lunging at Mr with a knife] &lt;em&gt;I could kill you. Until you do right by me everything you think about is gonna crumble! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001856/"&gt;Sofia&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Don't do it Mrs. Celie. Don't trade places with what I been through. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001923/"&gt;Shug&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Come on Mrs. Celie let's go to the car. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001856/"&gt;Sofia&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;He ain't worth it, he ain't worth it. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000418/"&gt;Albert&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Who you think you is? You can curse nobody. Look at you. &lt;u&gt;Your black, your poor, your ugly, your a woman, your nothing at all! &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This line always strikes a chord with me, it seems to speak to all black women that have been verbally abused and put down by their own folks, hell by their own men.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000155/"&gt;Celie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;: Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna fail!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001856/"&gt;Sofia&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Look like I came back just in time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0128360/"&gt;Old Mr.&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Well we need some stability around here.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000418/"&gt;Albert&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;em&gt;I shoulda locked you up.

To not be afraid to take chances. Try new ventures. Do the research, lay the groundwork and there is nothing you can't accomplish. Get out there and do what you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say this all the time, "When you know better, You do better". Keep on doing you, to the best of your abilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly, the quote that best describes the Drive, Motivation and Determination you need to succeed, in the words of a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Young Nettie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Nothing but death can keep me from it. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now that's some REAL Talk!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088939/quotes"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;More quotes from The Color Purple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-5435794356877771560?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/5435794356877771560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=5435794356877771560' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/5435794356877771560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/5435794356877771560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2007/01/yall-betta-listen-to-ms-celie.html' title='Ya&apos;ll betta listen to Ms. Celie'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs6VXNSstI/AAAAAAAAACE/dFI0KIGzWSE/s72-c/2%5B1%5D.+Whoopi+Goldberg+-+The+Color+Purple+(1985).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-7051837619112984629</id><published>2007-01-16T10:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-16T11:24:44.445-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I JUST Hates a HATER!!!</title><content type='html'>I need to put this out there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;I just HATES a HATER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ever see that one &lt;strong&gt;special&lt;/strong&gt; Hater, now you know she a Hater, she know she a Hater, BUT she don't know that you know she a HATER!!!

But it is what it is....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;TRUE STORY......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Now I saw a &lt;a href="http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/10/stop-all-fakin.html"&gt;VERY Special hater &lt;/a&gt;(She was the Chicken Rat in that story), anywho..... Saw her this weekend, and she was in the spot real &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;HATERish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!! Of course &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;lil&lt;/span&gt; Momma was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;tryin&lt;/span&gt; to pull a &lt;strong&gt;Oprah&lt;/strong&gt;, you know talk a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Bish&lt;/span&gt; to deaf, but I was cool on all that, just gave her the Filipino head nod and kept it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;pimpin&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;But she was going outta her way to speak and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;chitty&lt;/span&gt; chat, and all I was thinking, was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Bish&lt;/span&gt; I know you don't like me or my situation, so why waste your oxygen (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Lawd&lt;/span&gt; knows U needs it!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then I came to a realization, I had an epiphany of sorts, she is a hater, but I don't think she really means to be that way, she's not an unattractive person, but I think she's just very, very insecure and has other issues and because she is unable to deal with them, she takes everything personally, regardless of the topic. So I took a moment to step back and look at her as not a hater, but as another sister out here &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;tryin&lt;/span&gt; to make it and for a brief moment, I saw &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;thru&lt;/span&gt; the HATE and such. I saw her and how she really looked, she looked scared and alone and lonely.&lt;br /&gt;Right then and there I just prayed that she found some &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;solace&lt;/span&gt; or peace within herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She doesn't seem to realize that, "No one can make you happy" and until we all realize that you will be one sad ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you see a prospective HATER, don't trip, just think that you have no idea what the hell they may be going &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;thru&lt;/span&gt;... Just don't let they asses get too damn close!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to deal with HATERS is to keep looking lovely and doing you ma, KEEP doing you!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-7051837619112984629?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/7051837619112984629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=7051837619112984629' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/7051837619112984629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/7051837619112984629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-just-hates-hater.html' title='I JUST Hates a HATER!!!'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-2041885002743269826</id><published>2007-01-12T10:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-12T13:17:42.306-08:00</updated><title type='text'>QUESTION OF THE MONTH, Are you a SIDELINE HOE????</title><content type='html'>That is the title of one of Monica's songs on her new cd, "The Makings Of me". Now ya'll know I ain't nevah scurred (You betta AXE somebody), but as she so eloquently stated during her performance last weekend, you could be the Sideline Hoe and not even know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few signs that you, yes you, Ms. THANG, could be his chick on Da Side. Peep these in&lt;strong&gt;DICK&lt;/strong&gt;ations that you are just that, the Sideline Hoe.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. He calls you whispering, talkin bout his Grandma is sleep....&lt;br /&gt;2. You get nothing but Voicemail after 9:30 pm.&lt;br /&gt;3. You always here water in the background when he can finally call you back (Fool, he is calling you while he is taking a ISH)&lt;br /&gt;4. He tells you that he is only with her for the kids, but once that little baby, TAY TAY Jr, gets into HeadStart he is out tha door!&lt;br /&gt;5. His baby momma is pregnant, but once she has the baby, he is out tha door.&lt;br /&gt;6. They just live in the same house, he sleeps in the den (now you know he is tappin that ery chance he gets)&lt;br /&gt;7. He can't take a shower at your place and if he does he doesn't use any SOAP!!&lt;br /&gt;8. Better yet he just washes his dick in yo kitchen sank and wipes his balls with yo over mitt (Girl, just start running.....)&lt;br /&gt;9. Dinner and a movie with him is Chicken Nuggets, a large fry and a fuzzy ass bootleg copy of "Beauty Shop".....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are many different positions you can play on the team.&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Wifey&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now she gets all the benefits, i.e., The Credit cards, The Auto, The trips, the jewelry, BUT don't sleep she gets all the BULLSHIT!!! The attitudes, the Moodiness... all that FUCK HOE SHIT!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Mistress&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She may get a few trinkets and a Ford Focus, but she doesn't have to put up with that BULLSHIT!!!! The Real FUCKERY. She has him a cold drank waiting when he gets there, wearing her VIcky Secretions and will lick his scalp if he asked her to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Lil Momma&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She ain't a mistress, so no car for her, but she is more than a Jump Off. He'll get her hair and nails DID! But she just anotha piece he keeps on tha side. She probably just likes to wear sweatsuits, New AirForces and a ponytail, a GENIE Ponytail. More than likely she has a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;Gold&lt;/span&gt; TOOTH&lt;/strong&gt; and all her babies daddies names across her tittays!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE Jump Off&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She just getting fucked! No spare change, no kisses, no nothing! Just dick, but SHYT, sometimes that's all you Really, really want!!! UUUMMMKKKaayyy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that to say, if you are going to play your position, play it well. Shit you can play all 4 at the same time, if you are diverse and that neer won't make a move!! But just remember he has his positions to play as well, but they think they are just so damn Slick and GREASY!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may just have to show him who really is as GREAZY as Baby Oil.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JUST DO U, ma, DO U!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll holla!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-2041885002743269826?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/2041885002743269826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=2041885002743269826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/2041885002743269826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/2041885002743269826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2007/01/question-of-month-are-you-sideline-hoe.html' title='QUESTION OF THE MONTH, Are you a SIDELINE HOE????'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-5779458374340083947</id><published>2007-01-11T15:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-12T12:23:13.387-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Avon Barksdale (As I give him the evil eye)......</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs7KUAJaBI/AAAAAAAAACU/zWjKh9ZLlrQ/s1600-h/avon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267869237493983250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs7KUAJaBI/AAAAAAAAACU/zWjKh9ZLlrQ/s320/avon.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ok I know I said that I would never mention Stringer Belle's name again &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/index.shtml#cast2"&gt;(Click here to see ERYBODY)&lt;/a&gt; Anyway I was in Atl during the BET Hip Hop Awards and who was tryin to holla @ a Playah???

I could see shawty over to my left smoking her 20th &lt;strong&gt;Black &amp;amp; Mild&lt;/strong&gt; (Not a good look) &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;playah hatin' on the Sidelines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but you know I just don't give a Phuk!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I kept choppin' it up, needless to say he offered the number, in the words of the most crackinest rapper alive, Jay Z, "I never change", I was cool on him when he ordered the hit and I am cool on him now!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;Quiet as it's kept I thought about avenging my babies daddy by stabbing that neer with my Heineken bottle, at least that's what my heart was tellin' me to do, I had to keep telling myself, it's only a show and plus I will always have the baby that Stringer fathered, Lil Stringer Jr. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're real quiet you can hear Klymaxx in the background singing, "I miss you".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only in my mind!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-5779458374340083947?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/5779458374340083947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=5779458374340083947' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/5779458374340083947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/5779458374340083947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2007/01/avon-barksdale-as-i-give-him-evil-eye.html' title='Avon Barksdale (As I give him the evil eye)......'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs7KUAJaBI/AAAAAAAAACU/zWjKh9ZLlrQ/s72-c/avon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-2088224288775449720</id><published>2007-01-11T14:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-11T15:15:38.376-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I am so glad to be back...</title><content type='html'>It's been a minute, so much has happened....

Now Trina's new shit is OK. She couldn't fuck with Kim on a good day. She rocks some fly ass pieces, but that's about it. There is one cut on the cd with Kelly Rowland, that's aiight!

Ioun even know, but what I do know is he needs a mans touch and who better to give it than his dad?)   I sold my house in San Diego with hopes of relocating to Atlanta, but I've put that on the back burner to chill in Mission Valley in a 2 bdrm condo for the next 6-12 months....  I am just in a place in my life right now that is so cool and relaxed that not much really bothers me. I'm cool.  I will be moving beginning of November and I can't wait.  I will be right across the street from Neimans', down the street from the football stadium and across the way from IKEA.  Yeah!!!!   I will start blogging again, I really missed my blogging family.  I do have a story to tell but I will save it until this evening, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;it involves me in Atlanta, some strippers and Remy VSOP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!!!

But I have a good excuse, WORK!!! Work has been in my arse somethin' so sincere. So anywho, this past weekend B&amp;amp; I took Loy and his buddy Ricky to LA for the Annual Black College Expo! Lawd, Lawd, Lawd!! Why do it have to be that way?? I could have sworn I was on my way to &lt;strong&gt;Al's Cross Roads&lt;/strong&gt; (the crackinest SCRIP club in Birmingham). As we are exiting the car I see Rats erywhere!! I mean there was press on nails, stiletto, braids that reached the skreet, and Beyonce-ish type weave all around, and these were girls ranging in age from 13-17 yrs of age. Oh the young men were no better, they had ice in their ears, mo like GLASS. They had on jeans so baggy that you could see their ass crack in a Britney Spears manner.&lt;br /&gt;I was like aiight, I started thinking to myself we were in LA and BET is included with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BASIC Cable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. So we go in and of course the SWAT team, Special Forces and The Seals are there for added protection. You had to be physically checked and purses and bags searched prior to entry, which by the way was $5.00. Aiight I am trying to keep an open mind, but I could have sworn I could hear the new Game playing in the background. We finally get into the LA Convention Center and it looks like a swap meet. There was the Fried chix wings with hot sauce, the knock off LV Purses and the knockoff CHANEL glasses (they were kinda crackin' but you know ioun PHUCK round with that shyt)!! I was so digusted with the way this was packaged. There was a stage in the back where of course you could watch the "Dance" contest, which looked more like "I can dance like a scripper betta than you" Contest!! This was a SHAME! I am just glad that I was there to ensure my son was able to get the info we came for. He was able to talk with Morehouse and a few others, but overall it was just a PHUKIN' Swap Meet!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-110729765094332398?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/110729765094332398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=110729765094332398' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110729765094332398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110729765094332398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2005/03/college-chix-wings-and-dance-contest.html' title='College, chix wings and a dance contest...'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs7c4H7T4I/AAAAAAAAACc/nQ_QuOzdCHk/s72-c/chix+wings.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-110524910218113426</id><published>2005-01-12T14:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-12T15:57:23.453-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I had heard that Pimpin' ain't easy.....</title><content type='html'>I was looking at yet anotha "Pimps &amp; Hoes" expose', it was both daring and funny as a Fuck!! For those of you that DON'T know, I have a REAL fascination with Pimps &amp;amp; Hoes, REAL Pimps and Hoes, I ain't talking bout yo Aunt Tee-Tee who just likes to fuck alot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years ago when I was stationed in the Phillippines I saw many women that sold ass but didn't necessarily have a dude named "Suga Shaft" or "Captain Love" standing over them with a wire hangar beating their ass and taking their funds. Now some of them chicks was real serious bout they thang. There was thing there called a "Peso Show" Where the chick would squat over a stack of coins and shot them, yes, I said shot them across a room, as if she threw them with her Fukin CLAW! She was a beast!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few jaunts to Japan I became very interested in "The Geisha". A Geisha was not the common whore.&lt;br /&gt;She attended a sort of HOE University! They not only had to have a mean &lt;strong&gt;Hand &amp; Head job&lt;/strong&gt;, but she had to entertain as well, you know sing, dance, do The Snake and The Tootsie Roll!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess a Geisha would translate to a Call Girl or Escort here in the US. Now don't get the Geisha FUCKED up they have to surrender their ends aka Break ALL Breads to their Pseudo-Pimp aka "Mammason" or the owner of the Pleasure quarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get me messed up, I ain't saying that I have a problem with a woman that sells ass. I have a problem with a chick that FUCKS fah free! Now that I do have a problem with.... I also have a problem with a chick surrendering all monies to Mr. Pimp, unless he at least ranched (&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;country translation: Rinse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;) said dicks or assisted with all the dicks said HOE had to man handle or at least provided some assistance with placing rubbers on aforementioned dicks, if not he gets no cut!!! He could get cut or better yet STABBEDIDID!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now get this, I heard these chicks sayin how they want "Daddy" in all the best suits and Mauri Gators, I ain't heard nan hoe say she was saving to buy a home or hoeing her way thru college. Fuck dat!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you must ask where where do they find these girl? Many of them are runaways or had been molested when they were younger and feel that is all they're worth.  What I truly hate is how every Phukin rapper on the planet is now a phukin' Pimp!  Here in San Diego they have these things they call a  "Sneaker Pimps".   These boys Pimp just to get new shoes, new gear and some weed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the fuck is really going on... I know folks been buying ass since &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was popular, but it was never so glorified, so desired to be known as a pimp or as a "HOE" for that matter!!! All I have to say is whether you have to or choose to sell that THANG be your own "&lt;a href="http://www.cfp.net/default.asp"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Financial Advisor&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;", and tell that muthaphuka to go and suck a few dicks and make his own livin'....

I will always remember Ms. Benson for calling me "Punchanella", telling me I was pretty and a very smart little girl and giving me a buncha peppermints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are a teacher, I love you, because you make the least amount of $ and you really, really do the most work.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May peace be upon Ms. Bensons' soul....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will matter&lt;br /&gt;By Michael Josephson © 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Your &lt;strong&gt;wealth, fame and temporal power&lt;/strong&gt; will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end. It won`t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So what will matter? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;How will the value of your days be measured?&lt;br /&gt;What will matter is not what you bought but what you built, not what you got but what you gave. What will matter is not your success but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned but what you &lt;strong&gt;taught&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;What will matter is not your competence but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.&lt;br /&gt;Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Choose to live a life that matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-110539582123433406?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/110539582123433406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=110539582123433406' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110539582123433406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110539582123433406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2005/01/ms-benson-will-always-be-my-favorite.html' title='Ms. Benson will always be my FAVORITE teacher....'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-110392406207974787</id><published>2005-01-06T15:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-12T12:27:42.657-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Damn, damn, damn...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs8Ob0e-DI/AAAAAAAAACk/FfU41E2IfrI/s1600-h/character_floridaevans.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267870407823652914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs8Ob0e-DI/AAAAAAAAACk/FfU41E2IfrI/s320/character_floridaevans.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know, I know I'm late, but I am still grieving....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got the courage to watch the season finale of The Wire.

I hope you are able to stick to your resolutions and they make you healthier, happier and more blessed than you were last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aiight, aiight... I know I was gone for a lil bit, but I took a 13 day vacation for the first time in over 6 years. Yes, you heard it right, I ain't had that many days off since James got killed in Alaska (ala Good Times...) anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a lot of time to spend with my family, lots of time to read, do crosswords puzzles (I am hooked) and mucho time to just relax. Sleep late and get up when my body woke me up or Chuck the Cocker Spaniel wanted attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me when I say it was hard for me to get up this morning. I almost called in for one MO sick day..... Can you believe I had over 300 emails. Damn, was I the only one off work?? As I was checking out the web I found the actual speech that Bill Cosby delivered at the NAACP rally and I wasn't too upset with what he has to say. I am a 100% participating parent and I know that your kids are a product of what you they see and hear from you. For instance I love hip-hop and my son does as well, we don't like the same artists but I am sure he gets his love of rap from good ol Moms. Yet, I also listen to Jazz and Classical music, so needless to say you can go into his bedroom and his XM radio is crackin 50 Cent, Nina Simone and Bach. He is a product of his surroundings, and I have created that surrounding...... Here is the actual speech &lt;a href="http://www.enoughisenoughcoalition.com/Sounds/Bill%20Cosby%20NAACP%20short.wav"&gt;http://www.enoughisenoughcoalition.com/Sounds/Bill%20Cosby%20NAACP%20short.wav&lt;/a&gt; Listen and let me know what you think......

If I hear one mo rapper refer to their style of rapping as "Old School"... Ioun know how a 17- 23 yr old can even ack like they even know what old school is....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will attempt to run down exactly what old school is...Listening to cryin' ass Keith Sweat and wishing he was "Giving all his love to you" and almost passing out while tryin to do the "Salt &amp; Pepa", don't play!!! I damn near passed out in a pair of spandex pants, a truck ass gold rope with my name plate, about 17 rings on both hands and a leather jacket one balmy night in the Philippines (that's a WHOLE other story, maybe anotha time)!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aiight, do they know what is really Old School? Chic jeans with the different color stitching, Jordache Jeans with the horse head on the back pocket, and Calvin Kleins with the Loop on the back pockets, now that there was "Old School"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's not forget when you saw me rocking my "Reversed Jheri Curl" whilst freaking my red Michael Jackson jacket, yes, Haters I said MJ Jacket, the one with 423,875,198 zippers. Now that there was real old school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting dropped off at the skating rink by yo moms and having her announce your name over the intercom, telling you "Nita, yo momma is here and it is time to go" that is real, real, old school. Especially, if she came to get you in her housecoat with rollers in her head!! Talkin' bout shamed!!! Ioun even want to go there, I thought those years of therapy had me skrait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to list what really was old school, and I will be needing a lil participation to make sure I ain't miss no-thing.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Ironing with that starch that you made yourself by simply adding water. Oh don't ack like you ain't eat the otha starch, you know the Argo in the burgandy box.... I ain't forgot!&lt;br /&gt;2. Remember when people bleached their own jeans and somebody overdid it and their jeans dry rotted!! Aiight, maybe that was just on my bus.&lt;br /&gt;3. A fight could be started by one of the following manners:&lt;br /&gt;a. By either passing a lick via delivery from an anxious viewer and/or friend.&lt;br /&gt;b. Crossing an imaginary line.&lt;br /&gt;c. Knocking a stick off of the opponents shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;4. Eating a pickle whilst sucking on a peppermint, simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;5. Going to the $1 dollar movie, yet you could get in by bringing a canned good during the holidays.&lt;br /&gt;6. Also, going to said $1 dollar movie in hair rollers &amp;amp; head scarf, since I had to go to school the next day (not only old school, but ultra Geto).&lt;br /&gt;7. Pledging a high school sorority, fraternity or club (don't forget stepping in step shows and supporting their wfunctions/parties). My mom made me get off line because I had to buy a box of Snickers for my Big Sisters. Momma said, "&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Let them heifers buy they own candy, I ain't spending my money on they asses, I ain't taking you to no more pledge meetings and that's final&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;"&lt;/em&gt; I thought I would just die!!!&lt;br /&gt;8. Throwing the newspaper whilst atop my moped, for xtra Monies, (but not that heavy ass Sunday Paper, Moms had to help her guhl out).&lt;br /&gt;9. Driving to all the functions (parties, skating rink, movies, football/ Basketball games) in a 1972 Deuce and a Quarter aka Buick and charging all riders $2.00 for gas money, DON'T PLAY!! At least I had a car and a fill up of REGULAR gas wuz bout $6.00. duhhhh. Yeah and I kept the change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I await your inputs.....&lt;br /&gt;Happy Holidays from yo guhl who used to not only push but also wash weekly her &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sky Blue, 1972 Chevrolet Impala&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;rust&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on the hood!! I ain't nevah scared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holla @ yo guhl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-110340813559562906?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/110340813559562906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=110340813559562906' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110340813559562906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110340813559562906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/12/real-old-school.html' title='REAL Old school....'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-110317249552446102</id><published>2004-12-17T13:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-18T15:10:15.586-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BEAUTIFUL....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I was thinking about words, big words, small words, Italian words, Latin words (my favorite words)... things we say, things we don't say. Things we want to say, but the words seem to get in the way.... For instance I was on the phone with B, my love one. We chatted for about 5 mins and said goodbye, right after I hung up I thought to myself, I meant to say, "I love you", now why didn't I? I was so caught up in thought concerning shyt that didn't even matter, that I didn't take advantage of the time we had on the phone. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Aight, aight... All that to say, we should use our words as if they were the last bit of oxygen, as if we may or might not see that special someone the next day. Try it and let me know how it works out. I wouldn't ask you to do something that I wouldn't try myself. I 'll let you know how it works out....&lt;/span&gt; Just know that you are beautiful no matter what people tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;My Xmas gift to you is to tell you that I think we are all beautiful and all wonderful and so very, very special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imaginary story time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.....One last thing, the last time I spoke to &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/characters/stringer_bell.shtml"&gt;Stringer&lt;/a&gt; I left many things unsaid.... Well, I won't go into that again, I promised myself that I was going to stop wearing black, stop pouring out liquor and stop the mourning process, because he will always live in our hearts... I just hope he put on that vest like I told him....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

href="http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/actors/idris_elba.shtml"&gt;Idris Alba &lt;/a&gt;aka &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/characters/stringer_bell.shtml"&gt;Russel "Stringer" Bell&lt;/a&gt; on HBO'S "&lt;strong&gt;The Wire&lt;/strong&gt;". He was KILT last night by crazy ass &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/characters/omar.shtml"&gt;Omar&lt;/a&gt; and Brother Mouzone aka Bowtie bka Greazy Mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is the dialog that let me know there was some shyt in da game... &lt;/strong&gt;Stringer asked Slim to Murder Senator Clay Davis and Avon was like naw, neer......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avon&lt;/strong&gt; - "I think Slim gone have to sit this one out boss. So, now we hittin state senators, hunh? We do that, we gone have everybody on us from the police, to the feds, everyone"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stringer&lt;/strong&gt; - "He took our money"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avon&lt;/strong&gt; - "You a fuckin business man. I told you he was gone do that. What I tell you about them fuckin away games,hunh"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stringer&lt;/strong&gt; - "Well, now he got to go"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avon&lt;/strong&gt; - "Naw, man. You ain't down with that. You don't get all gangsta wild and shit. Naw. You got fuckin beef with them? This shit is on you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, yeah, yeah I knew that Stringer was setting up Avon because he was still on this Wild, Wild West type shyt. But damn, to have yo folks MURKED!!! I guess it was he who gits did first wins!!! Cause Avon is still gone get his next week, believe DAT!!! If I have to go and shoot the neer myself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I saw Omar fire those 3 shots into Stringer's Butta soft leather jacket, which he so tastefully matched with a Butter colored Polo shirt, I swear I thought I saw his life pass before my eyes. I screamed, I jumped up, I woke up my son and the dog. &lt;strong&gt;B &lt;/strong&gt;was just looking at me like I was RETARDID!!! He is so very understanding, he allows this CRUSH I have on a TV Character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are a few ways Stringer can come back next season:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. He was wearing a Bullet Proof vest (please, please and please let that be the case)&lt;br /&gt;2. He was dreaming, ala General Hospital style.&lt;br /&gt;3. He has a Twin and the twin was who got MURKED!!&lt;br /&gt;4. He is in a coma and running the street whilst on life support!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what, he will always be the only man who could play the following characters convincingly. We all remember "Midnight" from Sista Soulja's book "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0671025368/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-6018283-9924866#reader-link"&gt;The Coldest Winter&lt;/a&gt;" and no doubt he would be the only one to play "Quadir" from Terri Wood's infamous "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/096722490X/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-6018283-9924866#reader-link"&gt;True to the Game&lt;/a&gt;" fame. If you like Stringer you will love these here hood novellas!! Oh yeah, somebody tell Ms. Jada about Idris, so she don't cast somebody reel phuked up in "The Coldest Winter", yes lil' Momma got the Movie rights!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me get myself together... I shall pour out a little Dirty Martini for my DEAD Homie.... As I wipe my eyes and try to move on and remember the good times.. If you listen I bet you can hear "I miss you" by KLYMAXX playing softly in the background. Stringer Holla @ yo guhl, I'll always have a special place for you in my heart, until next season....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-110297739535615729?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/110297739535615729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=110297739535615729' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110297739535615729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110297739535615729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/12/ode-to-stringer-bell.html' title='Ode to &quot;Stringer Bell&quot;'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs9AJ_um8I/AAAAAAAAAC8/Zsuu0hBxJyk/s72-c/stringer.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-110282808383537369</id><published>2004-12-11T20:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-15T11:21:54.766-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ghetto BABY Names....</title><content type='html'>Where in de hell do people get the names for their kids these days?? My son and I have been compiling a "Ghetto Baby Names" list for the last few years... Whatever happened to names like Lauren, Michael, David, and Brandon? We no longer want those old, traditional names, we want to name our kids after these "Superstars" i.e., &lt;strong&gt;Beyonce &amp; Shaquille&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if we don't use a "Superstars" name, we make up our own name, damn near using hieroglyphics to spell the damn name.... we use phonetic spellings, we use accent marks like they are on sale 2 for 1... It can be so ugly!!! I.e. &lt;strong&gt;Appreciante'&lt;/strong&gt;, I told you it can get ugly!! and there are many, many more.... I've even met women who named their daughters after themselves and gave the daughter Jr. to add to her name, what kind of backward ass SHYT is that????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you EVEN think you might have a &lt;strong&gt;GHETTO BABY&lt;/strong&gt; name to contribute, please feel free to send it to me.

Shit I was in LA so much I should have had my mail forwarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One night, I am at the Garden Of Eden, and it's CRACKIN' . Dino, the tyrannical, psychotic doorman is there of course, he sees me and is like what up San Diego? come on it (I should have known then that I was tooo damn regular). ERYBODY, and I mean erybody was there. I knew many "STAR" type Niggas by name, had their two-ways and cell numbers and dem niggas would be like what's up Bama? (Since I am from Alabama). I wasn't giving up no ass (momma ain't raise no "HO").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just cool to chit chat with whilst in the spot. I also kept in touch in case I needed pull to get into a private function or I wanted to know where the haps was. So needless to say I was so souped. As I was sitting on the patio watchin these wanna be America's Next Top pseudo-Models. With Fake titties, Contact Lenses and weaves so long, that Rapunzel would have been on some Hater Shit!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was like man this ain't me. Here I am, an educated woman, making GREAT ass Paper legally, a hard working, single parent, homeowner, rubbing shoulders with bitches that were probably sleepin' in their cars or still at home with Moms, wearing clothing with the tags still attached (as for an easy early Monday AM return), asking mufukers, Please listen to my demo..... And just waiting on their next big break.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRANSLATION&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;They were trying to get impregnated by any mufuker on a ball team (foot, basket, base, kick, whatevah).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean there were genuine Pussy Wholesalers on site. I was sitting outside ducking weed smoke, cuz I don't smoke. I just wasn't feelin it. U have to be all the way in and I was a fake ass "Faker". I was not Groupie. I just wanted to be where the party wuz... Needless to say I wasn't doing well. So I realized that I could miss a few parties, I was no longer a "CLUB" Hostage. I started to read more and I realized that I didn't need to be at every FUCKIN thang! I missed it like Pookie on that crack for about 2 months, then the urges started to subside and I could sleep peacefully on a Friday and Saturday night without worrying about what I was missin.... I am happy to say that was years ago and I can now stay home and watch Mad TV, Saturday Night Live and of course, CHEATERS!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;-------Another TRUE STORY-------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me and my girlfriend went to LA to see one of those Medeas plays and we stayed the weekend to shop and do dinner and the like. Of course we went out. Whilst at the Garden Of Eden (oh yeah it still Pop the fuck off!!!) I saw an old friend, his brother is that nigga for beats on the West Coast (You know I ain't gonna name drop) but anyway.... he had his cousin with him and she was kinda drunk. Next thing you know she asks me and my girl if we want to smoke, we were both like naw, we cool... Few minutes later she holds her hand out and is holding the biggest &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267871885501611698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/SRs9kcmXPrI/AAAAAAAAADM/f4DqP-xyiDs/s200/crack.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt; ROCK of CRACK&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; I had ever seen in person or on TV, and asked if we wanted a hit.

Most of you may never have heard of it by its proper name. But I KNOW a lot of us have been unda-cova reporters and we don't even know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, the NNN has been referred to as "SOMEBODY said". Aiight here is a real example, SOMEBODY said that TUPAC was not dead but was in Guadalajara, that tidbit of info was carried world-wide on the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;SOMEBODY said that if you go into your bathroom @ night and looked into the mirror and said "Bloody Mary, bloody Mary" you would get your face scratched up that too was spread via the NNN. You didn't know that huh? The scoopy-scoop on Kobe hitting that Pink from the back withOUT a CONDOM was an exclusive where? You guessed it.....On the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;! I heard that Beyonce had an abortion in high school from where else??? the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt; always gets the story first, it's usually a REAL FUCKED up version orthe 5th person variant, but we do get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt; was here before CNN. I think we should get some $ on something for THEM stealing yet another one of OUR Ideas. I actually told my mother that most info and rumors are heard not on the radio, not from your baby cousin, but via the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;!! I hadn't heard her laugh that hard in a while. Speaking of Moms, here is another one of my.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUE STORIES...real shyt. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This morning I had a voice mail, it was from none other than Moms, telling me that she could see a slight resemblance between &lt;a href="http://pigeonrat.psych.ucla.edu/Matrix%20Reloaded%20Westwood%20Premiere%20May%207%202003/Will%20and%20Jada%20Pinkett%20Smith%20at%20Matrix%20Reloaded%20premiere.jpg"&gt;Jada Pinkett-Smith &lt;/a&gt;&amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.isnanchordesk.com/autos/pix/egetty.jpg"&gt;Estelle Getty&lt;/a&gt;. She said that maybe they are some kin..... Now, I won't tell anybody this but you guys. Now, if I let this out, the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt; would carry this as an exclusive that "Jada's Mom used to be on Golden Girls" or "Estelle Getty's Black Love Child"!! I ain't gone even do her like that, but Jada owes me big!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can personally tell you that SOMEBODY said that Aaliyah was somewhere with Left Eye chillin' in the Bahamas... from guess where.... The &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, I know you don't wanna hear one more thing bout the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt; right?? Okay, I have one more bit of gossip via the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;. SOMEBODY Said that SHAQ has a mistress in Dallas for whom he purchased a mini-mansion, a big body Benz and kicks out a monthly allowance... Is it true or is it just the Infamous &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;???? You tell me, if you hear anything, let yo guhl know.... I don't want to have to rely on the &lt;strong&gt;NNN&lt;/strong&gt;, you hear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-110072209523691739?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/110072209523691739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=110072209523691739' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110072209523691739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/110072209523691739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/11/nnn.html' title='The NNN...'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-110071978932436747</id><published>2004-11-18T01:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-20T11:01:41.893-08:00</updated><title type='text'>You mean to tell me don't NOBODY know nothin????</title><content type='html'>I am my momma's only child, so when shyt went missin' in our house, there was no doubt who did IT!!! My momma was like Double-O-Negro. She would dust for prints, canvas the neighborhood, by sundown she knew the 5 "W's"... Why can't THEY find out who killed our rap superstars???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peep Game....&lt;br /&gt;Jam Master Jay of Run DMC, was fatally shot in late 2002, and Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, who were both shot to death in the late 1990s. Those killings remain unsolved. How in de Phuck don't nobody know nothin??? I can't be late 3 days late with my cell phone bill payment and nine MU-phukers are emailing, callin and tryin to disconnect my phone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now when that lil' white girl was kidnapped from her bedroom the whole world was on CODE &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tamale RED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; alert, shyt even Oprah (I am going to get on her incredibly un-opposing anything, standing for nothing worth anything next time) has had her on her show bout 94,315 times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 of the leading Rap figures of all time have been murdered and don't NObody know nothing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My momma could detect who drank the last of the RED Kool aid,shyt fuck that she could tell who DRANK her last Pepsi with a belt and a mere threat!!!

My son and I love the same music (well most of the time) he all on G-UNIT and I ain't really into the Psuedo-Thug thang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I was raised on hip-hop and will always be a fan. Hopefully, we can get rid of all the Posers and non-rappin ass neers and get back to that reel shyt. I just heard that new Talib Kweli "The Beautiful Struggle" that shyt is sooo hot. Also, the new Mos Def is mean. Those are real rappers. That Chingy and Petey Pablo and FA-BO are all club hits that by next summer you will be like F-A-B-O What? Are we as Black folk so unimportant that nobody cares enough to tell who, what, where, when, and WHY these men were slain? I bet you $100,000,000.00 If somebody Popped a cap in Regis Philbin or Martha Stewart's ass the whole world would just come to a screeching halt'!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It ain't right, we are just as important as erybody else.....

You cannot wear all &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;BLUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in some neighborhoods unless you really want to get some shyt poppin' off! San Diego is mostly &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BLOODS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Ioun know why I know this shyt, I just do. You can't say "CUZ" that is a term used by &lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, so you really have to be careful. You could get yo wig split for shouting out a relative to loudly.&lt;br /&gt;Mind you, I am from Alabama and we do still call our cousins by that moniker, "Cuz".  I am scared to death to be out and see a distant relative and forget where I am and get a hot piece of lead in da ass!!

Since, it was a National Holiday.&lt;br /&gt;It was my day, Veteran's Day.... You might not know this, but I am a US Navy Vet. I did 10 yrs, 2 months and 3 days active duty, I've been out approx 6 yrs. I served in a couple of conflicts and situations. But for some reason when I was on active duty I didn't take it as serious as I should have.&lt;br /&gt;I never thought we would or could go to "REAL" War. We always did a lot of play type shit, exercises, saber rattling. Now shit is so real. I am glad I got my lil' Black hindpart out. I try to make people realize this is not a game, babies are leaving their arms, legs, eyes and lives over there. I try not to get to deep into the political situation on this blog, I just want to come here to escape the day-to-day drama, but I have to speak my piece on this bullshyt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Today,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the truth must be told, this is some BULLSHIT. If they even think of reinstating the draft, I will have to make my son ineligible (ok he is only 14), by either running over his foot with the car or sending his butt abroad for a couple of years and he could attend a University over there, but there is no way &lt;strong&gt;MINE&lt;/strong&gt; is going over there.   If I have to pop a cap in Colin's ass, I shall do, what I shall have to do.

No, I ain't talking about the motorcycle classes. I mean an accredited NINJA Training University, ok it's not a four year college but I would get a license to carry those killa stars and I think I would have been able to at least wear a concealed Samurai sword to work. How cool would that have been I would have been the First African-American, Female Ninja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm....I wonder if I would get head of the line privileges at the Club? Probably huh? Wouldn't you let a NINJA in not only free, but first. I could have been in that Kill Bill I &amp;amp; II. My name would have been "Pretty Python" or "Slick Snake" "Chocolate Rattler" or something along those lines.... I bet there are a lot of haters reading this thinking, I am so glad you are not a Ninja! I would have probably been proficient in using a blow gun with those poison darts.&lt;br /&gt;It ain't ovah until the Fat Chick Squeals....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I could still realize my dreams of dressing in all black leather (Mini-skirt, black suede Baby-tee, a Leather Kimono and black leather boots with a 4 inch hell) I would be so hot!!!&lt;br /&gt;I could make my own NUNCHAKUS, all I would need is an old broom stick, a piece of chain and 2 nails. Maybe I could... Well I'll get on that later as soon as I complete this Super Hero course. Did you know that I will be the first African-American SUperhero. WE are still trying to decide my name and my powers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking I could be &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Club Girl" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;my super powers would consist of being able to drink Champagne and Country Tea (Chilled Hennessey &amp;amp; Lemon) all night and not get drunk or sick. Also, I would have ESP so that I could tell when a neer was lying. Also, I could look at him and tell if he had any warrants, any baby momma drama and any credit issues.

I too lost a friend today. A sweet soul that had done her time in this place and needed to move on for peace and serenity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what to do first, do I cry, do I scream, do I be still, should I be quiet? I know that God hears the silent prayers that I am offering up. I think I will just pray for her spirit and pray for her family and pray for all of my family and friends that I don't speak to as often as I should, I ain't that damn busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;I wish for them.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happiness.&lt;/strong&gt; Deep down within&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Serenity.&lt;/strong&gt; With each sunrise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success.&lt;/strong&gt; With each facet of their lives&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Love.&lt;/strong&gt; That never ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;And most of all close and caring friends to guide them through.....&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spoke to my mother who always likes to discuss when she is called "&lt;em&gt;Home"&lt;/em&gt;, today I listened and silently cried, I not only tried to hear her, I was intently listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Old folks are full of wisdom&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray that I am not so selfish that I would want her to stay here with me, if her quality of life was not such that she would want to be here as well. I pray for patience and peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I type this I have to wipe my eyes, just the thought of my mom not being here is enough to break me down.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a matter of fact get off the computer and call your Mom, call your Dad, call your Mudear, call your Big Momma, Call Nanna...

As a Matter-of-Fact, I know I am that woman. It ain't about where I am geographically, who I am with (though that helps) or what I am wearing, it's an internal thing. I am in harmony with myself, my family and just my life overall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#996633;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I go where I will, I do what I must and I eat what I hunt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that to say I've been making my own way and creating my own destiny on my own terms and shit has been real, real sweet. Now don't get me Phuked up. There are bumps in this journey, but I ain't on somebody else's back, I make my own hell at times. I must admit in the past I have made shit harder than it necessarily has to be. I will take the &lt;strong&gt;"L"&lt;/strong&gt; for that, but that doensn't occur too often. I am usually as peace as a lamb, albeit a &lt;em&gt;crackin' ass lamb&lt;/em&gt;, yet still a LAMB!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I no longer bite my tongue, I say what I think I need to say to clear my conscious and my &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;heart&lt;/span&gt;, now I don't just get all &lt;strong&gt;Tourette's Syndrome&lt;/strong&gt; and shyt. I try to temper my speech, but I no longer let things fester and fall into the recesses of my mind where when they do surface they do so along with the angst of being held back for so long that the receiver is not able to distinguish the message from the PHUCKED delivery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mane I like being grown. The Journey at times has seemed real, real fucked up. But I realize a lot of the rides I've taken to get here and they were kinda fucked, but after arrival... aight let me illustrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(here goes another.... True Story....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Real SHIT.....When I was 12 I wanted to visit my aunt and uncle who lived out in Cali, I was living in Alabama at the time so it sounded like and adventure, how true that turned out to be. Of course we couldn't fly because my aunt was afraid to fly, so we had to take THE DOG (Greyhound). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;We must have been on that fuckin bus for 2 weeks. Me, her and my 4 lil cousins ranging in age 8 to 3 yrs old. Oh yeah this was the trip from hell!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, did I mention that she was a paranoid schizophrenic and she stopped taking her medication? We ended up in fucking Colorado or somewhere real fucked up. I called my Moms collect cryinin' because my Aunt was seeing shit and talking to the air and we had no more food because she had drunk it up or something real fucked. I just so happened to have a $20 in my purse, so you know I ate junk food Mammy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;By the time we finally reached Cali I was sick as a hostage and shitting like a DUCK. I just wanted to go back home. But my Uncle saved the day. Mane we went to DISNEYLAND &amp; KNOTT'S BERRY FARM. I had forgotten how FUCKED up the trip had been, all I knew was I loved the hell out me some Mickey &amp;amp; Minnie Mouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after about a week reality set in that my Aunt was fuckin nuts and that talkin to the air shit was tooo damn &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; cute and I wanted to get my lil Ass back to BAMA!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that to say the JOURNEY Was sorta psychotic but once I got there it was on....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's all about how you act once you get there.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-109961069319078082?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/109961069319078082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=109961069319078082' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/109961069319078082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/109961069319078082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/11/woman-in-harmony.html' title='A woman in harmony.....'/><author><name>Southern Belle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12295292265014207300</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FrFqG36-5SQ/S4sUIskpePI/AAAAAAAAAFk/a-YNLHq9FXM/S220/mail.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712238.post-109950740849862077</id><published>2004-11-03T10:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-04T15:47:58.473-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Voted, I Swear.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I am so pissed off about this whole Presidential election mess that I can't even really go into it.

He and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;"Don't be a" DICK&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Cheney&lt;/strong&gt; are both up to their scrotums in this shit! This shit was planned before his ass even got into office. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Remember his infamous line, &lt;strong&gt;"Saddam tried to kill my Daddy!" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Don't be fooled this shit was planned from day one. DUBya is only doing his DADDY'S DIRTY Work. He could never be the man his DADDY wanted him to be so I guess he could at least do him this lil' Favor....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;With me being a Veteran of 3 Wars/Conflicts, I have a problem with a mufukah giving orders who has never taken them same orders his damn self. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Now, I ain't sayin that John Kerry is &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Truth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; like Beanie Siegel, who by the way just got 12 months for assault, for shooting a hater type cat outside the club cause he "&lt;em&gt;TOUCHED&lt;/em&gt;" his girl, or Carl "The Truth" Williams, who got his ass STOMPED by Pre-Prozac Mike Tyson in round 1, nor am I sayin he is "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Answer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" Like Allen Iverson (who did chase his wife &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;BUCK-Nekkid out of their home @GUNPOINT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;). I'll just say he is just the lesser of 2 evils. But, I would gladly have my Commander in Chief be an awarded war Veteran, not some draft dodging, sniveling mildly retarded mamma's boy, with not only a drankin' problem, but he liked to sniff a lil' Powder ery now and again, as well....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Shit is all fucked up, what we gone do now, huh?

Whatevah...</title><content type='html'>So it's &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Halloween&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; again, YES I did put out the decorations, as I have for the last 13 yrs (my son just turned 14). Now you know I decorate for everything, but the DAMN Tooth Fairy.... I think this will be our last year of decorations and celebrations... He is actually staying in to give out the candy. I guess the jig is up. I no longer have to spend $4000.00 on candy. Nor do I have to put up the Easter Bunny flag, or the Leprechaun poster, but I will still put up the &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;mas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;decorations, that is just as much for me as it is for him....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Now it's time for a...True story&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Real shit.  Ok, it was Halloween about 4 years. We had agreed we would turn out the porch light and stop passing out candy at around 9:30 pm. At 10:30pm my doorbell rings I am thinking it's either the Rape man, a burglar or a wayward child that has no sense of time and is trick or treating alone, without his parent that would know better than to approach a dark ass door.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I open the door and there stands a grown ass teenage boy, looks to be 19 or 20. He is dressed in a dirty t-shirt, with a over-sized flannel jacket, flooded jeans, he is using a pillowcase for his booty and a very broken down &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jheri Curl wig&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, that had seen some better days when it was worn by Ms. Jenkins, head Usher at Mount Olive Greater New Hope COGIC AME aka the "Lunch Room lady's" head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am thinking this baby is homeless is just using the Holiday as a front to come up. So I open the door ever so slightly and he says in a voice that saw puberty long ago, "Trick or treat."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get it twisted I thought of at least having my pistol in my waistband, just to let him know we could go there if I deemed it to be necessary.   I give him a couple big scoops of candy then I ask him hey what the hell are you supposed to be? I had to ask, I know it was very uncouth, even crass in some circles.  The dark circles and the dry white mouth should have been the give away, but of course I had to ask.   I needed to know what he was supposed to be.... a usher board member, a lunch room attendant, what??? he told me that he was a, get this a &lt;strong&gt;CRACKHEAD&lt;/strong&gt;!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to give him more candy just for being so inventive, so daring, so RETARDID. Now that made my night and of course I didn't answer the doorbell for the rest of the night, what could come after a &lt;strong&gt;CRACKHEAD&lt;/strong&gt;?? I was afraid to ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8712238-109927127416250392?l=bellofthesouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/feeds/109927127416250392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8712238&amp;postID=109927127416250392' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/109927127416250392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8712238/posts/default/109927127416250392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bellofthesouth.blogspot.com/2004/10/happy-hallowed-eve-whatevah.html' title='Happy Hallowed EVE!!!

So of course I tell him I have to go south of the border this weekend and he must tag a long. He ain't too happy but we decide that we will make the best out of a bad situation. Me &amp; B head out to "Mexico" but we are really on our way to LV (5 hr drive). He is pretty smart so once he see the signs he starts cheesin real hard. Needless to say he was excited and so were we. We arrive at our final destination Circus, Circus. There is a floor dedicated to kids, with every arcade and carnival game you could think of... It was full of teenage kids who seemed to just want to "Kick It"&lt;br /&gt;It was a "Hot Ghetto Mess". Teenage girls runnin' round with ponytails they've glued on with what looked to be Elmers glue (with dirty scrungees around said ponytails), way toooo tight jean (some of them looked like they were being CUT In Half), and of course the staple, the baby tee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young men (14-16 yr olds) dressed as wanna be gangbangers, smoking Black &amp;amp; Milds, talkin on cellys and one boys pants were hanging so low I swear I could see his &lt;strong&gt;ANUS&lt;/strong&gt;!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was afraid to let my son move more than 2 feet without me. I witnessed an altercation betwixt an older Filipino lady and what looked to be a 13-14 yr old black girl, all I heard was the girl say "Fuck you bitch" and the lady got right back with her and called her a black bitch!!! I was about to speak until I heard the girl talkin mucho shito! I was like, naw, see I would have had to hit lil momma with my freshly won Coffee Mugs. Of course girls wuz &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eyeballin'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; my 14 yr old son and my dude, so it put me in a precarious situation, I ain't one to roll my eyes at a child, but yet and still I got to stand my ground and let them know "You will respect me". Needless to say there was no funk between me and the mices (pronounced "Me-ciss") baby Hood Rats!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all we had a ball even if it was a bit traumatic on the eyes, my son did make a comment and even I was shocked, he wondered why they looked like Hood RATS?? Who knew he knew what a Hood Rat looked like. All I could think was please don't brang one of these thangs home, talkin bout you in lub....

For years Crack had him in the choke hold, had him burnin folks with hot Crack Pipes until he was ready to change. You have to be high to make somebody smoke crack and them burn them with yo hot ass crack pipe!!!  ANYWHO, I got a phone call this weekend that really sent me into shock, not like somebody had to put a spoon on my tongue, I didn't have a Grand Mal seizure, just small shock. One of my boys from da Crib has been fighting like Pookie, to get off dat Crack for over 16 yrs. I mean baby boy has been to prison, rehab, boot camp, locked in the house, living on the screet, kidnapped by dope boys and almost killed and still he said and I quote, "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It be callin' me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so unsure of what to tell him, so I just asked God to guide my mouth on this. I ended up telling him the same thing I tell my girls when they complain about they mens. "You ain't gone get off the ride until YOU get tired". I can't will nobody to put down that glass Dick. All I can do is chit chat with them from time to time, keep them in prayer and hope for the best. We are all on our own timetables. Just because Jackie went CRACK Cold turkey and was back working at Popeyes in a week, that don't mean you will be able to do the same. Now I ain't just talking bout Crack. I am talking bout life. People need to stop comparing themselves to the JONES'.&lt;br /&gt;Do you and when you really want to make a change, you will, not a minute before or a minute. Well I am thru preachin for today....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and remember in the infamous words of &lt;em&gt;"G Money" in New Jack City&lt;/em&gt;, right before &lt;em&gt;Nino Brown&lt;/em&gt; took him out, &lt;strong&gt;"CMB, CMB, I am my brothers keeper. We all we got!" &lt;/strong&gt;Believe it or not, we are all we got.

I got an acquaintenace, she is now so deep in the church that she is almost a Nun. Fah reel, she sort of looks like one.... She sends out these Biblical Quotes all day long... at least 2 or 3 a week. But I remember when she was the Extra ratty with a Jheri Curl, fishnet stockings, and the FIRST one to get something POPPIN'. A bottle of tequila in one hand and a Newport in the other. So I was like maybe she has changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl, I was on the phone with her about 2 months ago and I've never heard anyone talk to their children the way that she does. I mean its sit yo &lt;a href="mailto:A@$"&gt;A@$&lt;/a&gt; down you little SOBs, MFs, &lt;a href="mailto:B#^@%%"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;B#^@%%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; and in the mix you know she had to throw in a "AIN'T God good".
