Thoughts

I have done a ton of thinking the last few weeks. I haven't posted in while because of this. There was a lot going on and then I was traveling for a week. Since I've been back I haven't been in the greatest of moods and didn't have anything positive to post about.

I have been thinking about so much stuff. I don't know where to begin.

People never stop amazing me. From the wonderful things they do, to the horrible things they do. The world is an amazing thing. Humans are amazing creatures. All the technology we have compared to 100 years ago. Evolution is amazing.

A singles persons growth / evolution is amazing. I don't think I really thought about it until I had my daughter. Watching her go from a little helpless being to walking and talking was amazing. Now to see her reading and writing blows my mind. These facts has me thinking of what makes a person who they are.

I've always thought that people become who they are from their experiences and background. I still think that is true, but I now realize that people continue to evolve. You and I will continue to grow in mind, body and spirit. There will continue to be things that happen to change our way of thinking. There may be a big event in our lives that makes us more or less religious. There may be an event that makes us loose trust in someone. There may be events that cause of to re-evaluate our lives, those we share it with or our careers.

I think I've been going through an evolution for the past few years and didn't realize it. I only saw or acknowlegded one part of it when there is more.

I am a huge music fan and there are two CDs constantly played by me the last month: Alicia Keys' ~ As I Am and Keyshia Cole's ~ Just like you. I am closing with a line from one of the songs on As I Am that I think fits me a whole lot!

"I aint nothing like I was before You should see me now"

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union.

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We

The New Yorker Cover

I was not going to address the New Yorker’s broadly publicized cover, but since it’s all over the place I will! It portrays Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in a Muslim outfit and his wife, Michelle Obama, in a militant outfit. When I first say the cover on theybf I was very upset. I understand freedom of speech but wow! It seemed like a blatant attack on Obama’s campaign to me! I was appalled at how they put it up, on the cover of all places. Then to have the audacity to call it satire! I know it was sarcasm, but just like some jokes, it did not come across well. Atleast to me! I spent some of time on Monday and Tuesday reading responses and explanations to the cover. I was not as upset after reading some of them. Others made me want to scream. Tuesday, Obama was on Larry King Live. I really enjoyed this interview. At the beginning Larry King asked Obama what he made of the cover. His response: “Well, I know it was the "New Yorker's" attempt at satire. I
