Slithering Snake

Okay readers this is a huge, huge, HUGE topic that I had to write about. When you’re in a relationship for some reason there are always people damning your relationship. Haters are what we call them. But we all think that haters are only outside people but please beware of the Slithering Snake! According to dictionary.com slithering is defined as to slide down or along a surface, especially unsteadily, from side to side, or with some friction or noise. The slithering snakes are the people who are closest to you. They may be your sister, brother, best-friend, uncle, auntie or even cousin. They are the people who you at least expect to cross you. Their goal is to conquer what you have or something like it. They could be trying to get your man/woman or to make you as miserable as they are. As we all know misery loves company. When you discover that you have a slithering snake among you at first you may be shocked. You may think but why would they do that to me? I thought they loved me. They may love you but remember how you love may not be how others love.

Signs of a Slither Snake

  • Calling your girl/man ugly (friction or noise)
  • Always knowing your business but secretive about theirs (slide down or along a surface)
  • Trying to be besties with your mate (unsteadily)
  • Only seeing the negative in your mate (unsteadily)

 

I’ve had someone to tell me that the boy I was seeing was ugly but when I claimed him all of a sudden she was so interested in him. It was like she wanted to slowly take my place. I’ve also had a friend (at least I thought she was my friend) scooped my x right after I dumped him LOL. O’l girl didn’t waste any time. I know ya’ll probably thinking well if you dumped him then why should you care. But I think its messed up to finally found out that your friend wanted your man the whole time you were with him she was just waiting for her chance. I would expect that from outside people but I didn’t expect that I had a slithering snake amongst me. Usually if you go through a breakup your girls are the ones cheering you up, “ Cheer up ol pup” lol  but the slithering snakes are the ones who will be happy inside. They finally got their chance to get what they wanted since the beginning. Luckily in my case I really needed to separate myself from that relationship anyways and the slihering snake helped that process move faster. What God has for me will always and forever be for me that man wasn’t the one for me. But I still didn’t understand why would a girl want a man who still wanted to be with his ex. But not to worry because the grass is never greener on the other side.

 Nicki Minaj song “Warning” is a perfect example of the Slithering Snake she thought her girl Kandi was a real friend but ol girl was a slithering snake smh!!! “Damn bitches wanna f*** with my man on the other hand things ain’t always what you plan..It’s the ones up in ya Prom picture ..Salon with’cha…Now they wanna..creep in ya mans jeep..I bet you Nicki won’t sleep”

 

You cant stop someone from being a Slithering Snake but you can beaware of them and its best that you don’t tell your business about your relationship to them. Have any ya’ll expreinced a slithering snake? Have any of ya’ll been a slithering snake? Let me know the juicy gaga! Express it!

***BBW ALERT***

Now a lot of times I run into emergency fashion alerts, which are just people who throw on any damn thing and come outside. But on this particular day I seem to have run across a wardrobe malfunction so peculiar that we didn’t even know how to fix it. The picture below is what we would like to call BBW, which is short for BODY BUILT WRONG. BBW’s are prevalent but they are not the #1 cause of wardrobe malfunctions, so I would like to take this time to touch on this subject. I know that everyone is not born with a body which is proportional to their size, but in these cases is there anything that one can do to help make there wardrobe a tad bit more functional and appealing? Now before you say, “Loose weight” remember that we all can shed a couple of pounds somewhere, and that being big is not an excuse to look a sloppy funky mess (Monique would whoop this lady a** if she saw her). I happen to know a lot of big girls who would shut a couple of skinny H[?]e’s DOWN!  Honestly, though what can the poor woman in this picture do to improve her wardrobe? What kind of clothes would best fit her shape? What is your advice to the BBW’s out there? EXPRESS IT!!!

TRILOG[Y]Z: MUST HAVE HEADPHONES

Have ya’ll heard about the NEW MUST HAVE HEAD PHONES??? I’ve heard about them but for the first time last night I experienced them. I was invited to this event called “So Soulful Thursdays”. This event is held every thursday  for poets, artists, and people full of soul at Knockers Bar n Grill off Clinton Blvd. Last night was a special night because it was also the release party for D’City’s TRILOG[Y]Z  headphones. D’city told me about his plans for his headphones last year and I was just excited then as I am now, but to actually see his vision become physical reality made me feel high lol. I love when people put  their creative genius into action.

TRILOG[Y]Z are the first ever wireless headphones. All you have to do is insert your memory card full of music into it and it will play. You can aslo hook it up to your computer to add music. On the side there is a message that says “United We Stand Divided We Fall” If I could describe these headphones in one word I would say DOPE!!!!! The sound is also amazing. Unfortunately I wasnt able to win a pair last night but that’s okay because I will definetly pay full price for them. Support my man D’City with these Headphones. They are definelty Juicy!!!

American Fear: Muslims in America

A CNN poll released recently about Americans and Muslims revealed some sad truths about American ideals concerning Muslims. The polls showed that nearly 50% of Americans would be uncomfortable with…

  1. A woman wearing a burqa
  2. A mosque being built near their neighborhood
  3. Muslim men praying at the airport

AND get this 41% would be uncomfortable with a Muslim teacher teaching at an elementary school in their community while another 47% believe Islam values are in contrast with American values.After reading Eric Marrapodi article “Poll: Many Americans uncomfortable with Muslims” I was literally in tears. Even though I am a Christian the fact that people are STILL so ignorant and consumed by post 911 fears breaks my heart. As many CHRISTIAN AMERICANS who have and continue to murder, kidnap, and rape other citizens its sad that so many people STILL feel the way they do about Muslims. Yes 911 were tragic but just because a few out of millions of Muslims did an act of terrorism in the name of Allah we cast them out? What about all the people running around saying, “Jesus told me to do it”? For example the Texas woman who stoned her 2 children to death in 2004 because God told her to. Or the Oklahoma City bombing committed by an American White Man. Did we as a country fear the white men or mothers of America? Of course not, but driven by fear our nation has cast judgment on those who look different.  I also find it Ironic 47% believe “our” values are at odds with each other. The Quran & Bible both teach us to NOT KILL; STEAL, COMMIT ADULTRY, &TO BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER so in my eyes our religious beliefs may vary but our values concerning HUMANITY are one in the same.  It is sad that our nation even quivered at its feet when rumors spread President Obama was Muslim. And if he was, what would’ve happen he’d kill us all? I mean come on, how closed minded can we be? But even with all that the most IRONIC part of the poll was 88% of those polled AGREEED “AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON THE IDEA OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING RELGIOUS GROUPS THAT ARE UNPOPULAR.”  Now who’s to blame the media or the individual who buys into the ignorance of fear?

HOW LATE IS TOO LATE…

Maybe I’m old fashioned or maybe I just have a set amount of respect for myself that I refuse to wavier. Whatever, the case maybe I expect a guy to be on time for a date. I find it quite rude when a man says he is going to pick me up at a certain time but than shows up 20 to 30 minutes late as if everything is fine. In my opinion that says a lot about a man’s character as well as how he treats and views women.  However, I have a cut off point. After 20-30 minutes of waiting with no phones calls I begin to make other plans or follow through with my plan B.  There have been times when a guy has pulled up in front of my house and told me to come outside (20 – 30 minutes late) and I was already in pursuit of another adventure or getting in a car full of my girlfriends, while telling him that his tardiness and lack of communication induced me to follow through with other plans. LMAsssoofff!!!  A lot of guys have the nerve to say that I’m mean, and a lot of women would still jump in a car with a guy who is excessively late. Nonetheless, there has to be a point in which a line is drawn and a date is officially canceled when a guy is late for a date and hasn’t called to update you. So ladies my question to you is: How late is too late and do you have a cut off time….EXPRESS IT!!!
