Wait No More
Ahhh! You just started dating the most amazing guy/girl. They make you laugh, you guys have a ball together and you get giddy whenever they send you those random text messages throughout the day. Everything is just so new and great. As time passes, the physical attraction increases and you could want nothing more than to… well you know. So when is it appropriate to go through with the do?? Well of course there are a few necessities that must be taken care of before i get into this topic. It is 2008 and disease is rampant, so before you do or think to do anything both parties should be knowledgeable of each others std status. Ok now that, that is out the way.
Ladies a lot of you have trouble coming to a conclusion to this question and instead depend on the opinion of friends or television shows such as Girlfriends…(Joans 3 month rule). But really as a grown ass woman, should sex with someone you genuinely care be based upon a timeline. I mean this sounds a bit immature but maybe thats just me. Now I am not saying that upon meeting a guy at the local club you should immediately take him home after he has introduced himself to you but it makes no sense to hold off for months and months doing something that you are going to eventually do anyway.
Guys you equally have an issue with coming to the conclusion of this question. Although most of you would more than likely love to lay your special lady down immediately, you also know that if this were to happen she wouldn’t be so special to you anymore. So although I do not think there should be a specific timeline, that does not mean that you should proposition your girl mere hours after you guys have begun dating exclusively.
My answer may leave you a tad salty but so what, its my blog… you can leave, lol.
But I believe that you should wait until you can’t wait anymore. Aww come on peaches, what the hell does that mean. Simple, when you both get to the point where neither of you can even think of going another moment without exploring each other, then BAM you should get it poppin. This means that it has to be a mutual feeling between the both of you. How can you tell when this happens you ask?? You will know, it will almost feel like both of you have to pee really badly.
1.Everything will start to get awkwardly quiet when you are watching a love scene in a movie.
2.Most late night conversations will slyly end up entering into the sex talk zone.
3.Kisses will become deeper and longer.
4.Lastly, both of you will just become so ridiculously frustrated with each other that the inevitable will be bound to happen.
When you wait until you cant wait anymore, trust me it will be the most memorable night of each of your sexy lives.

Disclaimer: Sometimes I just have to write how I feel. Sometimes I have no particular directions in which the writing is going but it eases the tension and allows me to exhale.
There are three types of people that I hate in the world. Thieves, Flexers and Judgemental people. I never for the life of me could understand why people stole from others. I mean to me its the most disgusting thing ever and you should be ashamed if you are a thief because you’re just pretty stupid.
For the life of me I just dont get how people can act one way behind closed doors and then completely morph into some other creature upon other people entering onto the scene. These are flexers, they will treat you with complete indifference when others are around but be your bestest bud when you two are in a closed space. These people can run into the highway during rush hour.
But of all the people I hate, the person who is so quick to judge others’ actions would have to be at the top of the list. You have all come in to contact with this person, they ride around on this pedestal that they have falsely placed themselves upon. And any and everything that you do, a comment slaps you in the face full speed from them. And the first thing you do is furrow your brows and wonder, hmm didn’t really ask for that comment. This person always is in search of allies because in this war they need equally judgmental people to attack your insecurities so that maybe a litte joy can come into their lives. I just dont get it, how can someone find or choose to completely exploit your rough spots. It’s crazy, i never could understand it and I probably never will, but i guess anything to get attention.

Damn You Darlene!!
I am tripping, world. I am looking back on somethings that i said and did last week and am truly laughing at myself. So here’s my story… It never fails, whenever I start to remotely like someone, I become my alter ego, Darlene. Now usually I am the fun, outgoing, flirty girl. The one who is flipping her hair while adorning a cute smirk and makng everyone laugh. But when that person comes into my life, everything changes. I become this caring, overreacting, clingy girl who will do anything and go completely out of her way for that guy. It’s sickening, because even though i see it coming I can’t keep wack ass Darlene from taking over.
So of course, I accidentally started liking this guy. Yeah it was a complete accident because due to the circumstances that i am in and the type of guy he is, it would never work. So like many women, I completely psyched myself out and kept telling myself:
*We’re just…, I won’t like him, he’s completely crazy. *Girl, this is all about…, I would never even dream of thinking of his wack ass that way. ( or my best line) *Just because he makes me upset and I yell at him, doesn’t mean I care. Damn!
So of course Darlene came out. I started texting him all the time about complete nonsense, asking him to come by all the time, cooking him dinner, and just really exhibiting complete and utter thirst. It became sad, like seriously. So like any normal person, he abruptly ignored Darlene. Damn!
Well world, I created this blog to help you learn from all of my horrible mistakes so here are some steps so that you will not be associated with becoming a Darlene.
1. if it’s just sex, let it be just that. This means, you guys don’t need to hang out, study together, or even have the same group of friends. Trust me, if you are in a sexual relationship it can’t double as a friendship. So if you have this going, stop because it’s gonna be all bad real soon.
2. If you start feeling someone, play it cool. This is the most important because being all exra around them and offering them everything and anything that you can offer all at the same time will scare them and in turn they won’t talk to your crazy ass.
3. Don’t tell your business. Trust me on this one, it will always backfire. Because if you have friends like mine they won’t let you live anything down and will ridicule you until the day you die. And plus you don’t want to speak to soon about something that hasnt happened because it’s embarassing if it doesnt happen.
4. There is never anything wrong with playing a little hard to get. Ladies: Let him chase you a little, it makes you seem powerful and attractive. Guys: Be slightly unavailable. When you can’t always be there it makes you seem important and busy, which is attractive.
Hopefully, you guys can learn from my alter ego Darlene, I sure have. And if you fall short, just laugh at yourself and blog about it.

Mr. President
As I stood at Park, a lounge/restaurant in Washington DC, last night nothing could have prepared me for the history that was to be made in mere hours. Of course, I had gotten casually fly and headed out to have a good ole political time, I honestly was not prepared for the emotion that would consume me at 11:02 pm.
Its funny because I think that African Americans are so accustomed to defeat that we just kind of expect it at times. It may sound ignorant but although I had traveled to rural South Carolina, canvassing in the rain, sent an absentee ballot to the racist and conservative state of Georgia, heard the hope in the voice of my grandparents and parents, I still had that twinge of doubt. Not a big twinge but a twinge nonetheless. So at 11:02 p.m. when CNN announced that Barack Obama would be the president elect, I could not do anything but cry. I didn’t care that i had on black eyeliner or that I was in the center of a club, all I could think about was the simple fact that we finally did it. We finally can say that we can perform any feat.
At the young age of 21 I have dealt with and have been faced with some of the most racist situations you could think of, but now I have hope. I have hope in America and just like the lovely Michelle Obama put it, for the first time in my life I am truly proud to be an American. So remain hopeful, prayerful and remember he can’t do this alone. Keep up the political hype and make this the most memorably positive 4 years possible. Stay involved don’t leave him hanging because he needs us America, and we especially the black community can not let him down.

All for the Business
After a fun night out with some friends, I come home to the world’s largest scene ever. Apparently a small boy with an immense amount of psychological problems was drunk as hell and completely flipping the f*** out at my house. Not only was he in the hallway naked, and yelling about some girl who broke up with him in the 5th grade, he managed to knock my roommates side mirror off while attempting to flee from embarassment. As the drama escalated into complete and utter ridiculousness resulting in my roommate putting this nigga in a chokehold, I laughed to myself because all of this drama, world was a direct result of my roommate trying to get the business.
It is so hilarious to me how far we will all go in order to get or give the business. It’s almost like the animalistic desire to have sex completely takes over and blinds you of all sanity that you may have had prior to being horny. I am sure that none of you have had to deal with a small mixed boy screaming and crying about a bitch named Sharde but I know that you have gone to some pretty ridiculous lengths in order to seal the deal.
I mean as a single female it gets kind of rough when you are feeling some type of way and want to discreetly and respectfully handle your business. So most times we are left with three options: having drunken sex with a crazy ass nigga, who just won’t leave in the morning, calling up your wack ass ex and probably having some pretty wack ass sex or just holding out and not doing anything at all for weeks, months or sadly sometimes years.
So my advice to those single females out there who are trying to get the business. It’s a whole lot better to just do nothing than to do the absolute most.I mean who wants to wake up to a crazy, schizo nigga who is naked and crying in your living room. HELL NAW!!!!!

The Beauty & Geek Phenomenon
Have you ever been walking in the mall and said to yourself, “Why is he with her, or Why is she with him?” These responses usually come up in our heads when you see the following things: A sexy ass dude with a completely bainty ass looking female or a fly ass female with a goofy looking lame ass guy. Personally this really bothered me, until I realized the reason behind these scenarios. I am going to give you two real life situations that will open your eyes as to why this occurs.
*names have been changed*
Situation A. My friend Christina is what all guys would love, more specifically what all black guys would love. She is gorgeous, no homo. Long beautiful hair, small waist, proportionate butt, hazel eyes, fly dresser. She’s funny and has an overall great personality, not to mention she was accepted to UPenn for Business school. But guess what world, her boyfriend is the wackest guy I have ever met. At first I was like maybe he has money or I don’t know something that she wants because she cant just be with this wack guy for fun. But no, I was wrong. She really loves this guy and even talks about him being the one for her. Strange I know.
Everytime we double date or whenever I am just out with her and her guy, every guy is noticeably pissed that she is booed up with this guy.
So why is this, you ask?? Let us draw from another example. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. When interviewed on the radio recently Jermaine Dupri explained that Mariah would be in the studio with some of the most successful and fly dudes ever but they never approached, poor Mariah. One day, Nick Cannon did what no one else was willing to do. He simply approached her and she quickly fell for him, no matter how completely obvious it is that he is just about the wackest guy around.
So guys grab your jangly balls and don’t be intimidated. I mean it’s worth a try…

Hi, I’m the new and improved…
Well summer is over and I am headed back to school for my final year as an undergraduate student. I don’t know what happened to me this summer, or who I think I am for that matter but I would like to introduce my school and all my friends to the new and improved me. It feels great and I have a whole new perspective on life and the path in which I will chose to follow this year and the years to come. I have come up with plans and expectations for this final school year.
First, I will not be stressed this year. I vow to myself to be completely free spirited and fun. It’s my last year and I plan on enjoying it fully. This means that I will have to redirect my focus on things I thought were important, because to me at this time in my life my sanity, self respect and morality are the most crucial to my happiness right now. Nothing Else!!
Secondly, Niggas Please. Just Kidding, I vow to myself that I will not take any guy, especially on my campus too seriously. It’s a waste of time and my numero uno priorite’ is to be happy n shit.
Thirdly, Get a 165 on this damn LSAT that I have been studying for. I mean that’s all I ask, I dont even want a 170. Also I vow to myself to not get down on myself for not getting into the specific school I want to, because regardless I will be successful. And again I will still be happy n shit.
Fourth, Spend the most time with the loves of my life because I am going to miss them terribly. SM, JS, SH, AF and JBW.

The Missing Element
What do 50 cent, Jay Z, and Weezy F. Baby have in common???
Only that women around the world have at one time in their lives fantasized about these men. And why?? 50 looks quite gorilla esque and Wayne is a clear ancestor of Gizmo from the Gremlins. But yet women are always swarming around these fellas.
It’s because they own something that many guys lack tremendously. And no, I am not talking about a jet or a million dollar vitamin water ad. These fellas have SWAG. I know you are reading like, uh if they weren’t gatrillionaires girls wouldn’t even notice them. Ok maybe their money gives them a little push over the edge but they all still have an immense amount of Swag.
I don’t know what it is but I always find myself attracted to the, “Uh yeah I guess he’s cute when I squint my eyes and tilt my head slightly to left guy.” But the difference between this guy and the sexy Idris Elba lookalike is that he got my attention by more than just looks. He commanded my attention by his charm and his inner confidence and to me that’s so much more sexier than anything else.
So in the words of T.I. get yo swag up fellas. How do you do this you ask?? Well I am glad you asked that, see my Get yo Swag up Compilation Below:
1. Be a guys guy. This person is loved by all guys because they are one of those genuine cool ass dudes. Most guys have little to nothing negative to say about this guy. This is important because ladies will do their research and it looks excellent if their close guy friend approves of you. This could raise a 4 easily to a 6.
2. Be Tight. All I am saying is be on your shit. Have yourself together. Be so successfully assured in whatever it is you do or are aspiring to do that nothing can negate you from that path. Nothing is sexier than a guy with goals, aspirations and hope. All women want is a little security and if you can offer that, you can get it today if you want, LOL.
3. Be charming. I once talked to a guy who charmed me out of everything, literally. I mean I was so into him that I couldn’t see anyone else. He didn’t offer much but everything he said was so pleasing and fascinating that i was absolutely captivated with him. If you have an attractive personality and can keep me enthralled in the things you just simply say… hold on I gotta change my panties, darn it!!
So Bam, there you have it. Trust me with this swag thing. With it you will be on every females mind and dudes will have respect for you too. It’s a win win. Get yo swag up fellas!!
