fyi:
if you see an asterisk (*) next to a blog link, that means that the blog may get you in trouble at work. so, please mind where you click when you aren't on your own machine! some of us curse a lot & that's okay, but others of us post all manner of photo/ video. links that aren't necessarily work safe get the special designation, since many of us have jobs that censor us. not like you need to be trolling around the web on company time. slacker.
also: i love comments. really.

The first time I saw it I was in hysterics! I was practically rolling on the ground I was laughing so hard. I especially liked the critique leveled at light skinned skinny wimmin who think they're cute and have bad attitude. Yeah, roses smell like poo-poo-poo. :) Too bad it wasn't a song done by a dark skinned woman, like the one who came out of the bathroom at the beginning of the video waving her nose cuz their bad attitude smelled so stank. I love the video and the song, just have a hard time getting past men talking about desire and sexual attraction. It's an uncomfortable place for me. I appreciated the way they represented many different kinds of Black masculinity. I liked the geek boys o the stage who were almost flaming better than the boys who bust into the gym - the speaker box boys. They were too overtly masculine (read: taking up too much space, manifesting as slightly dangerous, booming voices)...oops, baby is crying. Gotta run.
speaking men's sexual attraction & discomfort, i definitely experienced something like that yesterday. see, i was talking with a coworker who has locks and telling him about my line of body/ bath products (i wanted to sell him some hair oil) and he said some sideways, unseemly flirty shit. i was like, "yeah, okay. go 'head, man." cuz i didn't want to scream on him. i felt a scream coming, though. i think i've lost my fight or flight mechanism to the conditioning of polite society. cuz i really wanted him to know that since i told him before that i don't date men old enough to be my daddy, that he needed to back the fuck up.
*sigh*
dd, how do i DO it? like . . . how do i get the point across without going banshee unnecessarily?
i feel crazy when i don't open up, but just as crazy when i do.
i need to find that balance.
can i just roll up on andre somewhere and, like, molest him? please? lmao.
this video was nuts. reminds me that people who think middle & high school were "cool" were developmentally off some kinda way. lol. both of those periods were HELL for me & most folks i know.
i think i learned as a teenager how to be comfortably uncomfortable with that attraction phenom. but that's a whole other blog/journal entry...probably one worth working on, given this bit of unintentional inspiration.
peace, y'all
like to hear it, here it go:
