I'm Convinced...

that I don't realize how unlikeable I can be.

that the way some groups deal with other people's grief is self-serving and unconscionable.

that black men that grow up with their fathers learn what it takes to be a good husband and father, even if they don't do it.

that black women learn from their mothers what it takes to be a good wife and mother but don't abide by it, because they don't value the dudes they're with.

that black women in the music industry could learn a thing or two from Anita Baker. Pretty much the same hairstyle since '85 and still rockin' the set. I'm pretty sure I didn't know what anything but her face looked like until I saw her in person this weekend. It's not the look, it's the talent.

that if I don't fix my fucked up attitude, I'll be stuck in this hellhole forever.

if I was more delusional, I could be a happier person.

that I'll never trust anybody more than 48%. People are fucking dishonest at heart. They'll lie to you on their deathbed. Actually, I think people are so self-delusional they couldn't find the truth if they had a map and a GPS unit guiding them.

that I've gotta be boring. I'm bored with everybody else, so I must be emitting the same shit to other folks.

the best writing I do (off-blog, that is) is when I'm pissed. I need to bring the heat to finish this damn book.

that Petey Greene was the truth. I loved "Talk To Me". Don Cheadle deserves that statue next spring, yo.

that combing one's hair is overrated.


Stay Real,

Daaaaamn. You were tough on women in this post. I think you need out of SA. That place is killing you slowly.

You don't trust anyone more than 48%?? Even your family? I am not sure I could make it without being able to trust someone.

@JJ
Men suck just as badly. I just singled out women twice.

Nobody OUTSIDE of my parents get more than 48%. Not even my siblings. I think people delude themselves by believing that people are trustworthy when they aren't even honest with themselves.

I LOVES DON CHEADLE.

I am so glad that you went to go see the movie...I'm so glad you liked my man even though you made fun of him when dude reminded you he was in Rosewood....

So....what about women that were raised by their fathers?

@U Know...
Don Cheadle gets a pass for one role, Mouse in Devil in a Blue Dress. He can do no wrong after that. Except for Rosewood. LOL

Girls raised by their fathers definitely know how a man should treat women they love. They are hard women to please. I don't know if they know how to reciprocate, though. I haven't figured that out.

You need something. I think you already know what it is. What's holding you back?
