I really believed I would have little to say, but you cant keep a big mouth closed. I am absolutely weary at some of the banal nonsense that creeps across my timeline. These physical altercations people post are downright savage and seldom funny. People who resort to physical violence to make a point lack a good vocabulary, dignity and home training. If you engage me in a conversation about popular culture, I either like you a lot or Im bored. Most likely Im bored. With so much going on that actually affects me, there is no space for Beyonce or Mariah and Nick. I dont know them. I appreciate their work, but wish I would formulate an opinion about their private business, even if it plays out publicly. That would just make me look small and insignificant. Theyre not checking for me, Im not checking for them. The dish or date, smash or pass photo challenges? Lets just say I had to drop and block a few folk. Im just not that vain or shallow anymore and have no right to be. I will never be physically perfect, but I will always be a genuine person. I love my social and political activists dearly... the real ones. Im not paying attention to every little thing that comes out of Ferguson because I already know that my life has less value, especially in law enforcement. I know Black officers who would shoot me before a white person committing the same crime. Its part of the culture. We are all subliminally taught that Black lives are worth less and we believe it. Like white privilege, it just is and probably wont change in my lifetime. People are not so vastly different as we are led to believe. I see that both Ann Coulter and Nancy Pelosi got the same result from the ice bucket challenge. Finally, I steer clear of some people and situations because I know what opportunists look like. I am one. However, I am not cheap and thirsty. If I do happen to grant certain people audience, its not because I dont see them, I just need a good reminder of how cheap and thirsty appears. There are people I only hear from when they want something and I dont mind giving. I appreciate the opportunist because they always leave when theyve gotten what they want, not when Im finished giving and never when my storage is empty. In that regard they will always play themselves cheap. I shall strive to be more patient, kind and loving in the coming week. Leave it all on the altar and SHINE! Let the church say...
