Reality Show Junkie

I can't deny it, but I have to have my dose of reality tv. The shows I enjoy to watch are The Real Housewives of Atanta, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, What Chilli Wants, Brandy & Ray J, and of course Keeping Up With The Kardashians.



I love to watch how the drama unfolds on the housewives show. They are so caddy and fake to one another. I really like Kandi and Sheree from Atlanta. Kandi seems to keep it real all the time. I also enjoy watching her mom. She has much wisdom. At first it seemed to me like Sheree was a gold-digger, but I realized she is a divorced woman who deserves money for putting up with the crazy shit from being married to a professional athlete. She seems to be like, we hate drama and try to stay far away from it. Pheadra is a very intelligent woman who says dumb things. But Kim and Nene have to cracking up all the time. I really don't understand their relationship. One day they are on and the next thing they are telling each other off. I want to say this to Kim: Honey, please stop trying to be a singer. Its just not your fortee. You don't seem to want it that bad because you don't sacrifice and you need to stop smoking.



The woman I like on Beverly Hills is Adrienne, Lisa, Kim, and Kyle. Adrienne and Lisa have much wisdom and teach the other women how to be patient and not get so defensive about little things. Kim and Kyle are sisters who go through a lot of ups and downs and they will eventually get it together. Taylor is a woman I think needs to get out of a marriage if she isn't happy. She doesn't want to get out because she enjoys the lifestyle, but sometimes you have to sacrifice and you will probably get a life you enjoy. Camille is a lady I really don't understand. I'm sorry about her marriage ending in the public. I hope she is ok because she needs to be strong for her children now.



What Chilli wants is a funny show. Chillin has this list that no one can measure up to. I enjoy watching her go on dates and seeing her reaction. I also think that Floyd Mayweather is not the guy for her because he seems to be stuck on himself. You don't want a man like that because they are selfish. Brandy and Ray J's show is funny too. I enjoy watching the two of them and their family. They have a tight net family that many black people rarely see on tv. I hope they continue to be positive.



Lastly, I enjoy the Kardashians. The way they were able to get a tv contract may not have been the best way to get in the industry, but they are very entertaining. I like how they show how families are very crazy at times, but they have each other backs. I hope they continue success too.



Tell me what are your tv gulity pleasures.

Diary of a Tired Black Man

This weekend, since I have netflix, I saw this documentary called Diary of a Mad Black Man. It stars the fine ass Jimmy Jean-Louis. This is the black man's Waiting to Exhale. I found it very interesting. The whole point of the documentary was to show everyday people different scenes, from the view point of a black educated man, of how some black men are treated in reationships and get their reactions. When I saw the scenes for myself, I see why some of these men are angry and they date outside of their race.

Here are a few of the scenes I can remember from the movie:
Scene#1: This educated man is married to a black woman who doesn't work, but takese care of the child and home. She gets up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and sees his underwear on the floor. She gets mad and wakes him up to have an argument about how he needs to learn how to put his underwear in the hamper.



  • Is she crazy?

  • Doesn't he have to wake up in a few hours to go to work?

  • Why have an unnecessary argument just for the sake of arguing?

What would you have done in this situation?




Scene #2: The wife has her friends over for some girl time. The whole time she is bashing her husband because she feels he isn't man enough for her. She is over exaggerating the things he so called does because she has a leash on him. Then she goes on and tells her friends that if they don't have their men in check, they are going to lose them. Its like him against her.



  • In the marriage, isn't it supposed to be a team?

  • What is the point of bashing your husband in front of your friends?

  • Why give your friends the wrong information about marriage?

What would you do in this situation?



Scene #3: So, the arguing for no apparent reason and the degrading caused the black married couple to divorce. So, he comes over with a white woman to come and pick up his child. The ex-wife and her friends meet him at the door to cuss him out and tell him he is a 'no good nigga.' So, he proceeds to tell them that he was a good husband but his wife was so selfish that she didn't realize it. She still lives in the house that he bought and he still pays the morgage and child support. He also cares so much about his child that he comes and picks her up.


Now, what would you have done in this situation?



I was shown how some men feel when they are treated wrongly by a woman. I'm glad that this is out in the open. If you get a chance. you should rent this movie. Please let me know your thoughts. I would love to know. Thanks!

Some Married Men

Now, I have never been married, but in the past weeks I have been getting invites from married men to sleep with them. WTF? Do they think I'm that desperate to have someone? I don't think so! My thing is, why marry if you know that you just want to live the single life? Its not wrong to not get married.

What is this thing that if a married man has a chick on the side, then he is a pimp? Some men think that he's the man if he does. One of my guy friends said that it was an innate thing in a man to cheat. Ummmm.......no! What is wrong with our society? It's not an innate thing for a man to cheat. I know many men who take their vows very seriously. So, what does society have to say about that one?

Even one of my girlfriends said that a man is going to cheat no matter what in a relationship. We (women) need to just accept it. Ummm.....hell no! Now, I know why there is a show called Snapped. I don't blame some women from snapping, but killing is not the best option. Getting a man back means that you aren't over the initial hurt. Just leave him alone because your freedom should be worth more than to get a man back who doesn't care nothing about you. He moved on to the next, and so should you.

So, I think I might just stay single for a little while longer. I wish some men would just be honest and keep their vows. What do you think?

New Year!

Hi everyone. I know it has been 3 months since I have written a blog, but I'm still here! Its a new year and last year was pretty rough for me. I had never seen so many people I knew die last year. I started getting depressed because I felt, if I die, would it be too soon? Would I have impacted people's lives? Will I have done much that God would be satisfied? I just learned that life is so precious and we need to learn to appreciate the people here on earth that are around us and know.

Now that 2011 has begun, it was a rough start. I had to go and take care of family and it had tested my patience. The lessons I have learned from this experience are:
(1) If someone is willing to help you, take the help and learn how to trust.
(2) Make sure I have lived life to the fullest because regrets can make you a cranky & nasty person.
(3) Lastly, everyone in your family is valuable and try to learn about them because you can't go anywhere in life until you know your history.

So, I'm still single and the weirdest thing has happened to me. 2 guys that I have had a relationship in the past have tried to get back with me. Its like they had an epiphany because they say they knew I was a good girl and now they want to be with me. WTF? So, one of them is pissed at me because I don't call him. He told me that he's not the boyfriend type and he kept calling me at 4am. So I told him please stop calling me because I'm not a booty call. Lastly, when my grandma past this idiot texted me on the day of the funeral and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was at my grandma's funeral, all he said was ok. We buried her last April and I didn't hear from until August. So, you know that relationship is done.The second guy is something else. I went out with him in college and he cheated on me with a girl. Now they have 2 kids and he wants me back. What do you think?


Now I have begun a new lifestyle change for the new year. I'm going on a cruise for my 30th in November and I want to look good. So, last week in Charlotte when we were all were stuck in the house for a few days, may not have been the best time for me to start this change. But in reality I think it was a good thing. It was a test to see if I was going to eat fruit instead of eating what I really wanted was the chips and the ice cream. I have to keep the focus though.

So, now I'm hoping all the craziness is behind me and my 29th year is not going to be filled with drama. Thanks for letting me share with you.
