THE JUICY EXPRESSIONS

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!!!

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!!!

As you all know I attend Jackson State University a historically black University. I love my university because it is filled with all kinds of people with different personalities. Some of those people are who we would call haters. My definition of a hater is a person who doesn’t see any good bringing negativity towards a situation. I would like to speak about a situation called Hating off top.  Hating off top is when you are hating someone just to hate, not knowing any background information on them. I feel that everyone has their own beauty they just need to recognize it. Therefore there is no need to hate against another. If you are beautiful and content with yourself then it shouldn’t hurt you to bless another person with a compliment. I’ve been observing my peers from my school. From my observations most people don’t speak to new people at all or they do if it is for their benefit. Men will at least nod and say was up if they cross another man in their path. But most likely women won’t say anything to another woman. Unknown men and women are more welcoming but that’s probably because they’re sexually attracted to each other. But if a good looking unknown female walks in a room at a party she will automatically get mean looks from the females that are already there. She is being hated off top. Why is that?  I feel that people believe that if they compliment someone else it would be taking away from their own beauty. But you shouldn’t feel that way. If you are “bad” then you should be able to compliment anybody without feeling less of yourself. Beyonce is one of the baddest chicks I admire in the game and if I ever seen her on the streets I would let her know that. I always compliment another female when I feel that credit is due.

Sometimes they respond with a smile and a thank you but other times I get a weird look and a thank you. Most girls are caught off guard by a compliment from another girl because they’re not used to it. I would like for women as a whole to get it together. Is this a self-esteem issue? Or are people that evil not to spread love with compliments? Whatever it is, there is a change to be made and it starts with you. When you see a person looking fly feel free to bless them. Compliments go a far way. You never know how much you could change somebody’s life with a simple compliment. Remember that this is a reflection of how you really feel about yourself. So the next “ugly” person that you think you see is really yourself in that person, your flaws, unwanted pounds, unwanted pimples, and unwanted scars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, if you don’t want to pass compliments to another that’s fine also. Just release the need to criticize others. If you don’t have anything nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all. Express It!!!!
