I Have a Dream...

***Inspired by Reagan Gomez, whom was inspired by Martin Luther King***

"I have a dream that black women (and for those that prefer African American) will one day be able to have a nice workout at the gym, get in a nice sweat, and still come out looking civilized about the head!  I still have a dream, that although women of all races face difficulties of finding time within our hectic schedules to get a good workout in, eat right, maintain a fabulous career and enjoy the fruits of our labor; there will be a time when you can place your hair out of your face without having a wet, stringy, frizzy or limp do' when you leave the gym.  I have a dream that one day  no matter if you rock all natural kinky, straight, wavy, curly, move onto permed, jheri, or bags of yaki and velvet remi; you can rest assured that the same way you entered the gym, is the same way you will leave out!   I have a dream today!"

I thought it was just me until I've been seeing it on status posts, hearing it on radio, seeing jokes made about it on television.  I mean, this is a REAL life situation that we're going through! (I had to laugh myself...but it's true)
One of the major reasons I skip work outs is due to my hair.  PUHLEESE!  If I have something to do that day, I will not work out.  I go from this:


or

to my beloved "Black Fox" bun.  This:

It took a few tries to take a pic of myself LOL!  So there you have it!  You see this bun...I need my wig split, I'm having a bad hair day...or my BEhind has been working out!
XOXO Happy Hair

*Randon Rant*

This may be inspired from all the Tiger hoopla, or maybe from a conversation I had a couple of days ago, could be from a post a friend of mine did on facebook, or possibly from my own personal experiences but-
I don't understand why men's actions don't mirror what comes out of their mouth. Okay, okay, it's not just men...but that's who I'm speaking of in my blog. Why tell a woman you love her, or want to spend your life with her or there's no one else you want to be with. If what you say, couldn't be further from the truth. I read a quote a couple of days ago that said, "your actions speak so loudly, I can barely hear what you're saying." It's truth. Men will say these things and have a relationship with a women, but have another women (some side chick) thinking their unhappy in a current relationship. That it's just a situation they're in and not able to get out of quite yet. And women eat it up. Feeling dominant over the supposed girlfriend or wife, who is what you think naive to the fact that her her so called man, doesn't want her. Please believe a woman (or anyone for that matter) usually won't stay in a relationship where they are feeling truly mistreated or neglected. So that man undoubtedly is telling her something to make her stay.
Men will literally live a double-life. Pretending to not have a charge on their phone, or lose their phone, or be asleep in an attempt to not speak to one of the women, be working late, or too tired to be intimate with you. A man will act stressed out financially so he doesn't have to wine and dine you. He will even go so far as to take off from his job to make time for his side-chick. (True story)
Why do they feel the need to lie and manipulate a situation instead of being open and honest with the supposed women they love? Most times a women wants exactly what you want. Especially in these days. She will sleep with you and have no strings attached, so you don't have to play games. Some people are so selfish, or immature, or just plain old ignorant that they don't understand the concept of loyalty, love and dedication! Love is not, as Halle Berry said in Boomerang, "some disease you catch like the plague", it's an emotion that no one is personally asking of you. Of course relationships are cool, but playing the field is great too. If you are innappropriately talking to someone other than your significant other ...i.e asking sexual favors, sending nude pics back and forth, meeting up with them privately, or not able to be around them in the presence of your significant other. You're not living right and you need to move around from the relationship because you're obviously not ready to settle down.
You're not being fair to the person you're lying to. You're selfish and deceitful, hurtful and ruining a life that someone is possibly trying to commit to.
You should go on your merry way, and indulge in the women that caused you to do so much damage in the first place.
