Newsflash...

I'm sitting here in the airport waiting to fly back home for the weekend for my uncle's funeral. The flight was supposed to leave at 6:30, and yes, it's 9:30 right now. That's a 3-hour delay. And I refuse to eat cuz I know good food awaits me at home. F'n Delta SUX!! Anyway, enough ranting...

There is an airline employee standing in front of me and THAT is what prompted this blog. Sometimes people do things that make me ashamed. Ashamed to be black, ashamed to be a woman, ashamed to be human. Not so much for myself, but for the embarrassment they're putting themselves through, especially with people like me in the area.

That being said, I've got an announcement (or newsflash, if I may):

If you're black and wearing a blonde WIG, chances are people know it's not yours. So don't toss your head around and caress your hair like it's natural and not from Barbaro's mane.

That's it, some people just need to be told these things...

Is That Eyeliner You're Wearing, Charlie Day?

So I was watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when I noticed that Charlie 's eyes were so prominent. He's a funny little man whose antics never fail to please so I pushed it to the back of my mind. I know people wear eyeliner to bring out the expression in their eyes because the lighting drowns it out, whatever floats your boat. And you never know, he may have REALLY pretty eyes that just look like he's wearing eyeliner. Then I was watching last night and realized there was no DOUBT Charlie was wearing eyeliner and I couldn't shake it. It really took me out of it. Nonethless, the show was AWESOME and I don't care if Charlie's a cross-dressing salad tosser's bitch, I'd watch him any time. Check it out, cuz it's quite possibly the best TV I've seen in a while.

What's So Different

I was talking to my cousin Debbie (the Princess) about dating last night when we ended up arguing about cultural differences. We're both Haitian, but I was raised Black American (that term itself is from the Haitian culture) whereas as she was raised with the culture deeply imbedded. I can honestly say I started "learning" how to be Haitian when I was 17. My friends all knew I was Haitian, but also knew I was basically in a Southern family. It's a long story, but I was kept as far away from anything Haitian as long as my mother could help it. That's just a little background, on to the argument. Now, Debbie and I are like night and day when it comes to men. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed and I cut someone before they get to use me. We're not only like that with men, we're liek that all around. I'm bookish, she's artistic. I'm witty, she gigles a lot. She's got numbers locked, I'd rather write a story. We're just...opposi...
