I turn 27 on Sunday! No plans really, will go out to eat with family, I'm considering going to Cedar Point, but we'll see, that's not really my thing, but it would be free.
My brother and his girlfriend have 5 kids between the both of them, they share one, she has two others, and he has two others, and they are always complaining about having to buy the kids this and that and how broke they are. Umm silly people, did you think it was going to be cheap raising FIVE children? And then, in my opinion, they are so ungrateful. You can barely get a thank you out of these fools. And on top of that, they want to tell you what to buy when you tell them you MIGHT do something for the kids. Umm, if I do decide to spend my hard earned dollar on your children, I will buy them what I want them to have. Now, if I ask you what they NEED, then by all means, let me know, but if I simply ask for their sizes, don't harass me about what to buy them. Because you might just end up not getting anything.
Two guys, actually three, told me that I am quick to break up or stop talking to someone if I'm not happy. And it has me thinking, am I really that bad? I mean, I seriously feel like I give dudes the benefit of the doubt, but when I've had enough, I've had enough. And it would probably take a lot to make me change my mind once I get to that point. I recently broke up with someone, but in my opinion, I tried to work it out with him, but it was just too much. And we still talk occasionally, but when I get fed up, I get mean, and that's no way to be in a relationship.
I'm starting to want a car that is not American made, and being that my family works at GM, they kinda have a problem with it. But like I tell them, American Auto Makers have to do better. I bought my G.6 brand new, and it was in and out of the shop from the day that I bought it. I mean granted, I wasn't coming out of pocket, but still, a brand new car shouldn't be at the shop every other week. I want to pay it off and keep it, but we'll see, cause I have no intentions of putting a bunch of money into it.
I have worn my hair natural for going on 4 years now, but I have a cousin who recently decided to go natural. And she recently did what some would call the big chop. Basically, she cut of the part of her hair that was still permed, so her hair is completely natural now. Well, she doesn't like short hair, and she's having a hard time finding a style that she likes, and finding a product local to her that works well on her hair. I talked to her yesterday, and she was telling me how people that she knows were asking her why she cut her hair, saying they didn't like it, and on and on. I'm thinking in my mind, those people suck, and I hope this doesn't make her feel like she wants to get a relaxer again. Well, after she told me about those fools, she said that all of their comments wanted to make her wear her hair natural more. I was so happy, not because she is going against the grain, but because she is going against the mainstream. Why are black women expected to but harmful chemicals in their every 6 - 8 weeks, and wearing our hair without all of that makes us different, or that we have something to prove. It's really ridiculous when you think about it.
