Friday Ramblings

It's Friday, you know the deal...

• People were up in arms over Kyrie Irving having a yacht party full of white women.  When I looked at the story my first thought was, "Kyrie Irving?  Who is that?"  I had to look him up to discover he's the dude who pretty much got media attention after his girlfriend allegedly cheated on him and let it be known through instagram.  With that said, Kyrie Irving is a nobody in my book still.
• I signed up for a cake decorating class and I realized how I don't eat baked goods like that.  I ate one piece of the cake I decorated and didn't eat another piece.  It was good cake though
• 30 for 30 has me wanting to find a "Bad Boys of Detroit" t-shirt.
• I swear to y'all nothing makes me happier than seeing Black kids who LOVE reading.  Like it seriously touches my soul.  #BlackKidMagic
• Found 144 Expo markers on sale for $75 and then the price went down to $55.  The Lord is good! *hits teacher praise dance* #DryEraseMarkersAreWorthGold
• Finally got around to ordering Warsan Shire's Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth and then discovered soft magic by Upile Chisala.  I swear I should have kept writing because I used to be a young Maya Angelou in my past. #ImBiasedThough 
• Speaking of poetry, I still wish my city had a strong creative community.  I always wanted to attend a poetry slam, but I've never been able to find one.  I also wanted to be in the Vagina Monologues (missed my chance in college because I graduated right before I mustered up the courage) or For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf.
• Why have I been listening to Jodeci none stop since Saturday?!  I realize more and more how the 90's had some great music.
• Also, the men of Jodeci look pretty bad.  This Devante Swing guy was cute back in the day...but drugs will mess you up.
• My skin has just been breaking out all summer in the forehead and chin area.  I swear every summer it's a new area of my face.  Ugh...too old for this mess.  Why me?!
• Summer is almost over.  Didn't cut my hair off.  Didn't get my hoop nose ring...that I've been wanting for almost 10 years.  Decided I wanted a tattoo...know I'm not going to get it.
• Finally got some living room furniture and it's too much for my little place.  I had to get my Mom a.k.a. Suge Knight to make them take 2/3 of it back.
• I swear I spend all my money when the school year approaches.  I had almost $200 in my cart on Amazon, but decided it was best to split my order up.  I know I've probably spent $100 at Target already on stuff for my room.  I need my pay raise NOW!
• Well...Taylor Swift is officially back on my {Bleep} List after Kim Kardashian exposed her lies.  No more sympathy for you Taylor. #HeMadeThatGirlFamous
• When is the annual Racial Draft?  We need to get rid of Omarosa if we haven't done so already.  Director of African-American Outreach?  More like the overseer slave. #ByeFelicia
• Melanie Trump's ghostwriter is out here making her look foolish!  They just decided to copy and paste from Michelle Obama's 2008 speech thinking nobody would notice.  Dude, this is 2016!  The internet is FULL of people waiting on the next set of memes they plaster across the web.  #WeDontCare #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #OneCopyAndPasteAtATime
• "You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies.  You may trod me in the very dirt but still, like dust, I'll rise."  #FamousMelanieTrumpQuotes
• Ted Cruz is out here sticking it to the man y'all!  Dude did what he wanted by not endorsing Trump.
• Everybody needs to throw $50 my way so I can get supplies for my classroom. #BrokePhiBroke #BallinOnABudget
• This child told me she's ready to go to 1st grade so she can have her own desk and get some privacy.  In that moment I thought teaching kids that young may not be that bad...but I think that grade cries a bit much for my liking.
• How did I manage to go to Target and spend $37 on THREE items?!  THREE items!
• I'm going to try this oil cleansing method that Hey Fran Hey talks about.  Here's to hoping my sensitive skin doesn't go crazy.

Friday Ramblings

It's Friday, so you know the deal...

• Wow...it's been awhile since I typed that out.
• I had the "privilege" of being hit on last week while in my car with my friend.  Despite telling the guy that I had a boyfriend he informed me he would happily be my "side n****" because it's 2017.  I should have been kind enough to inform him that it's 2016, but I don't think he would have cared. #NobodyHitsOnMe #BlameMyRestingWitchFace #ImCute #IGuess
• I thought about cutting my hair, but once again I'm a punk.  Like seriously, I am the biggest punk.
• Netflix is the Devil.  I've watch the full House of Cards series (Season 4 didn't impress me too much) and I'm nearly finished with Mad Men (Today is Monday and I'll probably be finished by the time this is posted.)  I'm pretty sure this isn't healthy.  
• Speaking of Mad Men, Don Draper is bae.  Well he would be bae but I'm pretty sure he had to have contracted some type of STD because all he does is sleep with women...like A LOT of women.  
• My friend called my FitBit an old people's watch in a subtle way.  I tried to kick her out of Logan's, but she didn't leave.  I just cut my eyes at her the rest of the time. Taylor this is about you.
• Taking a cake decorating class.  I'm ready to turn in my letter of resignation and sell cakes out of my house.  I mean, who cares if I only know how to do a rosette swirl.  Right?  Baby Cakes coming soon!
• Pretty sure I have ADD but nobody has diagnosed me.
• I need a serious vacation.  As in me at the beach in swimsuit covered in a t-shirt so nobody can see my chubby body.
• American Crime Story has made me obsessed with O.J. Simpson.  Anything that comes on about him I have to watch.  
• My Mom turned 35 despite having a child whose 37 and another whose 26.  I've gotta ask her what's her secret. #SheKnowsAboutTheFountainOfYouth
• My step-grandmother believes men should be allowed to cheat.  I should have informed her that nobody cares about her opinion.
• Have y'all seen the videos of the guy who cooks a bunch of stuff with Hennessy?  Everytime I watch them I want to vomit  and then I question why he's wasting his money and good food.
• I still can't believe Donald Trump is actually a presidential nominee.  Like, Republicans you all should be ashamed of yourselves.  This is the equivalent of letting your bad child get out of hand and to the point that you can't control them anymore.  Republicans, this is your fault.  Be ashamed of yourself.
• OJ's friend AC is a wimp.  He let OJ TAKE his girlfriend, was ready to take a bullet for him, and then was his getaway driver.  I guess some people would say he's a good friend, but I just call him stupid.
• Since I don't have cable I've been watching a ton of 30 for 30 films.  Some of these stories are absolutely sad.  Case in point, Without Bias, which is about Len Bias who died two days after being drafted by the Celtics from a cocaine overdose.
• This alligator case is so out of hand.  They're shutting all these beaches down because of it.  I'll hold some of my feelings to myself.
• How in the heck did the Warriors lose the series?!  Like...I'm not even a basketball fan but the feelings I felt when I discovered the Cavs won game 7.  #LightSkinBrotherComebackHasComeToAClose #StephCurryWithoutTheShotBoy
• Y'all men turned on Ayesha Curry quick, fast, and in a hurry when she said the NBA was rigged.  What happened to y'all wanting an Ayesha in your life?  #SheCanCook #SheCanClean #JustDontSpeakYourMind
• Some of y'all need to teach your kids manners.  I had a kid jump over me at the movies and the grandma didn't tell him to say "excuse me" or anything.  Just rude...I wanted to yank his behind back so bad, but I'm not made for jail.
• Finding Dory was somewhat sad at some parts.  I found myself nearly shedding a tear, but quickly wiped my eyes. #NoTearsOnMyCheeks #ThugLife #StillNotMadeForJail
• OMG Kanye said his wife is the female OJ in this Schoolboy Q song.  This is so amusing to me. My love for Kanye might return.
• Speaking of Kanye...Kim Kardashian should have kept her "soul" food plate picture on her phone.  I saw that picture and laughed for a good minute.
• This woman in my decorating class does what she wants.  Instructor tells us to make buttercream icing.  She makes cream cheese icing.  Instructor says bake a cake so we can tort and level it in class.  She brings the half of the cake that she already torted so she has no true top layer.  Why are you in the class if you're just going to do what you want?!
• Why y'all sending Britney Griner "Happy Father's Day" tweets?  I swear I hate y'all because you have no chill.  Like zero chill any given day.  
• I managed to watch the first episode of Oprah's show Greenleaf thank God for my parents having cable.  It was pretty good.  Not sure how it can be a tv series instead of a miniseries, but if Oprah can keep a story going then it should be fine.
• Speaking of that show, Lynn Whitfield always has to play some evil woman.  ALWAYS!  Her face is super snatched though.  Like that thing just got a lift a month before the series started to film.
• It's so hot in Georgia y'all.  Like my thighs are sweating every moment it feels like.  This could be a sign that I need to lose weight though.
• Mom's out here getting arrested for whipping their kids after catching them in the wrong.  I told my Mom about this and how she should be in jail for all the whippings I received.  Her only response was, "I probably didn't whip you enough." #SheDontCare #SecondChildGetsNoLove

Friday Ramblings

It's Friday, so you know the deal...

• OH MAH GAWD!!!!  I've been gone so long from here!  My last post was back in December.  So much has gone on but watch me not remember any of it...
• This school year remained an emotionally draining one for me.  It was very rough on me emotionally, physically, and mentally.  I definitely questioned myself quite a few times and thought about just throwing up the peace sign.  Luckily I didn't or else I would be the teacher you see in pre-planning video that walks off the job.
• The two months my co-teacher was gone was hell on wheels.  I thought about getting pregnant just so I could take a two month vacation.
• I ended up getting transferred in my county to what people would say is a better school.  It was in the same position except with elementary school.  I jumped for joy when I found out.  
• I got all A's in my first semester of graduate school.  Praise God!

• So y'all just gonna buy Creflo Dollar this $65 million private jet?  The Lord really must have sent y'all some serious messages because I just can't get with that.  Hopefully he sends y'all a message to help pay off my student loans too.
• My name has been featured #3 on the Top 15 Names of Girls Who Will Get Engaged In 2015.  Future fiance my ring size is a 5.5 and I prefer princess cut with white gold.
• Next summer I swear I'm not gonna work.  I need to take some time to myself because I need a break from these kids.
• Love & Hip Hop
• What is a "Meeting Of The Mothers?"  Only one person in this group is married to this man and the rest of y'all just laid down with a married man.  They are truly over glorifying themselves.
• Yung Joc has 8 kids?  Between four different women?  I guess he doesn't believe in wrapping it up.
• Then this dumb broad has the nerve to risk her own health and possibly get pregnant by him?  
• The heck is a "promisary" ring?  This must be a old playa type of thing.
• Why is this Mimi sex tape still a big deal?  Y'all knew that mess was planned.  There was nothing spontaneous about that.  
• Joseline just can't stop dressing like a stripper I guess.
• Why Kalena upset about her music not coming out?  She was never popular in Dirty Money.  #YouWereAlwaysTheOtherGirl
• Chileeeee I'm getting these braids in July from the lady who braided them before!  You're not gonna be able to tell me anything.  
• Let's take a moment and just appreciate Steph Curry's adorable daughter, Riley.  Made my ovaries tingle for a second...then I came back to my senses.  
• Now that being transracial is such an accepted thing I would like to announce that I will be living my life as a white woman from here on out.  My Mom has always said that she felt I related better to the white race and now I can finally be with my people.  #CreditScoreAboutToGoUp #LoanAboutToGetApproved #BlackMenAboutToFlockAfterMe
• Diddy has went and jumped on his son's strength and conditioning coach.  Jesus be a grade A lawyer right now.  He let that Harlem, New York come out of him.  #DontLetTheToothpickFoolYou #TakeThatTakeThat
• How are you gonna lie to me about being a teacher when I can go look up your certificate?  SMH...lying does not impress me.  
• Kids are starting to call me old indirectly.  This is what life has come to. 
• Is Michael Jordan ever gonna get his Oscar for Space Jam?
• Went to a conference for one of my summer classes and it was the BIGGEST waste of my time.  How do you talk about your life for 45 minutes of the 75 minutes session?  I came to learn about using arrays in my classroom not that I can see your parents' burial site while watching a tv show.    #WantMyTimeBack
• I hate when I hear people talking to babies in "baby talk."  All I can think about is how it's affecting their speech development.  Is it affect or effect?
• I think I've clocked out for teaching at this point.  I'm ready for my break.  #July10 #WhereArtThou
• How am I supposed to get to my new job on time when I refuse to get dressed for my summer job?  I'm about to live at the school like that book from elementary school just so I can be on time.
• Weaves from the 90's were horrendous.  Thank God they figured out how to use other people's hair
• I want to make some jollof rice.  I've had it once before and don't even remember how it tasted but everyone always raved about it.  #SummerOfNewFood
• Is North West ever gonna get to wear colors besides white, black, and beige?  This child is gonna go to school and struggle with learning her colors at this rate.
• I need to go ahead and send J. Cole a graduation invite since he's always popping up at events for fans.  Think he'll come to the birth of my first child?  
• Speaking of J. Cole, his verse on Jeremiah's Planes always gets me.  I'm always so excited to rap it but afterwards I feel like I need to go to church and ask for forgiveness.  

Friday Ramblings

It's the end of the week again and here I am with my ramblings.  Enjoy!

• I start working at the movies again today.  I wanted a different job this summer, but yeah never got around to looking for it.  It seems people thought I got fired (I'm a pretty good employee so this is odd) or quit (In a perfect world with a ballin' sugah daddy that had one foot in the grave).
• Also in regards to work shout out to all the annoying customers I'll have this summer.  Jesus be a fence and a reminder of my need for this $7.45/hour job that allows me to pay for gas, clothes, food, and expensive books in school.
• Jesus also be the same fence when it comes to some people that I don't care for.
• If you live in Augusta, Aiken, or North Augusta go try Groucho's Deli.  I swear I had a food-gasm over the Apollo Dipper I had with the Formula 45 sauce.
• Shout out to the hood girls in the Applebees on Peach Orchard Road.  They were twerking in the parking lot and it all started with the infamous stripper walk.  As soon as the girl started waving her hand I knew it was over.
• Oh, those same girls...Lord please tell me why you let certain people have children.  This girl was playing with this baby's hand saying, "Hey b*tch" over and over again at her.  I was so pissed.
• Speaking of Applebees, if you go this summer please try the frozen lemonade with the alcohol mixed in.  It was delicious.
• I decided to go thrifting today and came across this cool clutch purse that looks just like a folded up magazine.  I'm debating on selling it on eBay or Amazon. 
• If the Georgia IRS is reading this ya'll haven't sent me my tax rebate check yet.  I'd really appreciate it just so you know.
• Got all my grades on Monday.  Lowest grade was a B-.  Better than a D or an F. *twerks around room*
• Anybody want to provide me some money so I can get some long Poetic Justice braids?  
• Finally, am I the only one who thinks naming an ice "Magnum" is a bad idea?  I can't tell my Dad to bring me a Magnum back home even if I say its ice cream.

Friday Ramblings

• Shout out to EVERYBODY graduating from UGA today.  Class of 2012 stand up!
• Dear Lord please let me make it through this summer peacefully.  My Mom already started with me and I wasn't even home for 24 hours.
• Pray that I still have a job at home or else I will be lounging around this house poor.
• My boyfriend low key stood me up last night.  We were suppose to watch Brown Sugar around 8pm.  8pm rolled around and he said he'd be a little late.  9:30-ish I tell him not to even worry about it.  Pity me ya'll.  Pity.  Me.
• Shout to my American Cities professor.  All four of my other teachers have posted my grades except her.  I hope you are reading this Dr. Reason.
• Oh yeah, shout out to me for making an A, A-, B+, and B thus far.  Technically I'm on the Dean's List until that last grade comes in so I'm about to live this sh*t up.
• Oh am I the only person that was IN LOVE with Solange and Beyonce at the Met Gala?  I know I wasn't, but I just have to ask.
• Chris Brown and Rihanna, please grow the hell up.  One minute ya'll are subtweeting each other and making bada$$ remixes.  The text day you're subtweeting each other and unfollowing one another.  Grow the hell up because I'm getting tired of this whole "Whoa is me" act ya'll have had going on for four years.
