Sooooo… What Happened?!
7/18/1 — 2 Comments
Life happened. That’s what. I mean every now and then I get caught up in this drudgery I call my life and I respond to it. Mostly it’s me either cutting something important out of my life to accommodate the other things or I just allow stuff to suffer. Instead of cutting my blogging out of my life, I let it suffer. I mean you have more than enough material to entertain you on this site. I swear. I want to apologize for neglecting you, I hope it won’t happen again but knowing me, I know it will. Even then I’ll be as apologetic as I am now.
Soooo what happened?!?
My job is what happened. I work evenings but sometimes I end up working nights. It’s all about time management. Well, this job has me NOT managing my time well because my hours have me working long into the night. By the time I get home, I can’t get to sleep unless I am watching television and even then it could be damn near 5 in the morning before I finally go to sleep. So what happens is me sleeping through my blogging time and I’m stuck letting each and every day go by without me releasing my thoughts.
Another thing happened was my Dad. Good ole dad. Old is the right word. I know you’ve encountered old people who don’t like to be alone and have to infringe on your thinking or solitude because they have nothing else to do. Well, since my dad was born in the 30s, his life has become bothering the SHIT out of me. Don’t get me wrong. I love him to death but mornings are my time to think, reflect and blog. He takes that away. He’s always in the room where I blog. He always manages to infringe on my quiet time. This time being no different because he just does. It’s who he is. It also doesn’t help I’m the only one he talks to so I’m stuck with having to cut down my bloggage because my dad is a pure pain in my ass! You know that show based off the twitter account, Shit My Dad Says…, well my dad isn’t that interesting.
Soooo…. How long will you be this time?!
I have no idea. I got more things in my life I’m trying to deal with and honestly, once I get myself together I’ll be able to blog daily.
Soooo… what’s new?
In my hiatus, I found I’m a damn iNetworking freak that doesn’t do me any damn good except take my free time and have me talking to people I don’t know and love. I stopped tweeting for a minute because it got boring so I went back to facebooking. Facebook is back to its usual self of folks telling any and every thing so now I’m back to tweeting. It’s a damn double edge sword. I’m getting sliced either way I use it. However, I am liking the fact that I’ve met some more awesome people I don’t know and love. The guys over at UnderscoopFire.com have this lovely little spot for those of us who love everything 80s. *whispers* I told y’all aside from the fashion sense, the 80s were the best time to be alive. Of course my friend and fellow music, art, and sports lover, eclectik, got his board back up. I hit that every once in a while when I get a chance.
Other than that…. not much is going on. If and when some news comes around I’ll let you know. I got some ideas for my next posts so once I’ve gotten them organized from the kayos my mind makes of it, I’ll post it.
Until next time.
Red Tails IS History People!
7/18/1 — 4 Comments
I know I haven’t blogged in a while and I’m sorry to all my readers. Please take a moment to forgive my neglect and focus on the topic at hand.
My friend over at Boissuq.com posted an article on Facebook that immediately grabbed my attention. So much so, I was texting and driving AND I do not do that under any circumstances. However, this one was of utmost importance.
‘No, we don’t have to market a movie like this. It’s not green enough.’
The article is about George Lucas’s new film, Red Tails, and the trouble he had trying to obtain financial backing to release the film to the masses. The movie isn’t just another Star Wars Saga. It isn’t another Indiana Jones. It’s a film documenting the lives of the ONLY black flying regimen of the World War II, the heroic Tuskegee Airmen. I was shocked appalled mortified disappointed in Hollywood. Here is a man who is famous for making great movies that sell and he can’t get his movie made. His peers, his comrades wouldn’t even give him the time of day. Oh, they met with him but he was made to go sit in the back of the bus like the rest of the 40s, 50s, and 60s Black America.
What else do you need other than the Lucasfilm, Ltd. name stamped on the film to make it sell?
“It’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all. It’s one of the first all-black action pictures ever made… It’s a reasonably expensive movie… and they don’t believe there’s any foreign market for it and that’s 60 per cent of their product.”
Oh I forgot. You need white people. Oops my bad! I’m mean what was I thinking. In order to make a movie sell, you must have a white someone representing the people who are fronting the money to represent them. Really, Hollywood?! Really. You mean to tell me that from the subject alone, you are afraid you won’t make money because no foreign market will want to take notice. Let me see… Isn’t Africa a continent? I’m pretty sure I learned that back in Geography when I was 8 years old. How many black inhabitants of that continent will identify with the actors of the this movie? How many of those inhabitants have been taken migrated everywhere in the world? You still need reason to back the movie… How about the fact you stay putting movies out about WWII and the demise of many Jewish people, yet and still you don’t want to show how these black men stuck their necks out to save many of your damn ancestors because let’s face it… Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin told the film community as well as millions of viewers that Hollywood is made up of Jewish people when speaking in reference to “the Jew Hunter” Christoph Waltz during the 82nd Academy Awards when they were hosting.
Spike Lee, Malcolm D. Lee, and John Singleton to name a few were able to make movies with all-black casts and they made money.
What possible reason should we even make this movie?
“I wanted to make it inspirational for teenage boys. I wanted to show that they have heroes; they’re real American heroes, they’re patriots, they helped make the country what it is today and it’s not (1989 film) Glory, where you have a lot of white officers running these guys into canon fodder.
Well said, George. This movie needs to be shared with the world not because of their heroism they displayed during the war but because we need other movies showing our people that we did make a difference. A movie where young boys can live the dreams as white people are taught everyday. America surprised me by voting a man of color in office. Believe me, I was floored by that one. Yet, here we are back to square one. Film executives are afraid of backing a movie because it gives hope to those they don’t share a background with or is it because you don’t want to give them a chance to stand on their own two feet. This has been the story for hundreds of years. We’ve reverted back to the slavemaster and slave days. Only this time you’re blocking the path of a film pioneer who has proven himself for decades. This is a movie where we need to show there is more than just one black person making a difference. Our world isn’t all Martin Luther King and Obama. We have others.
When I was in high school, Schindler’s List, was released. I was a junior. We went on a field trip. Didn’t know where we were going. Our buses took us to a movie theater in the neighborhood I lived in. (School was across town). Our school allowed us to see this movie. Why? It was depicting the true events of a man’s journey during the Holocaust. I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. It was emotionally draining but it was a well made film. Steven Spielberg received an Academy Award. Why won’t can’t you do the same?
“If we get a good first weekend, there is a prequel and a sequel and they’re better than this movie by a long shot. I took the soft centre and I’ll give you the really good ones…”
I need all of my readers to share this with any and everyone they know.
We need to go see this movie.
We need to back George, Terence, Ne-Yo, Cuba, and the entire cast of Red Tails.
This movie needs to work. George is all about the sagas. He makes them sell people. Go see this movie and take another person with you. We need to rise up like we did for our President. We need to show Hollywood there’s a market for Black Americans and the Africans of the world. It’s time for our young people to have someone to idolize besides the Justin Biebers, Taylor Swifts, and the Kim Kardashians of the world. It’s time for us to have more than the news and Cops. We need more positive views on our people. This movie is one of them.
As Dap said in Spike Lee’s all-black cast of School Daze…
TMI Tuesday: MsKayotic’s Dating Mayhem
7/18/1 — 2 Comments
DATING
1. You’re on a speed date. You’ve got 7 minutes with the potential partner. You already know the person’s name. What are the first three questions you would ask?
Hard question but a good one…
a. What is the last book you’ve read? -this question lets me know if he continues to exercise his mind and intellectual thinking
b. If there was one person dead or alive you could have dinner with who would it be and why? -this question is just something I ask to see if they do any deep introspection on life
c. If there was one concert they could attend both past, present, or future whose would it be? -this question is to see how deep music is in their psyche
2. Have you ever participated in speed dating? Did you get a regular date/second date out of it?
No I’ve never participated in speed dating. I wanted to but the days and time don’t sync with my schedule.
3. Do you participate in online dating? How many dates have you had as a result of online dating sites/matches?
I actually tried to participate in online dating and come to find I have no luck with it at all.
4. You are attracted to:
a. Who people are? I don’t care what they have and what they do. I can get whatever they have. I “DO” my own thing so I’m more into people for who they are.
b. What people have?
c. What they can do?
5. What “little red flag” will cause you to end a date or immediately decide this person isn’t for you?
Our humor interaction. If he’s not funny at all, there won’t be a second date. If he laughs too much at my jokes when they aren’t really that funny, there won’t be a second date. It is important that our humors mesh well together for me to consider us a match.
6. What do you feel you need to sacrifice or have sacrificed to be a part of a relationship?
I don’t necessarily need for it to be a sacrifice but I need my independence to change. I won’t abandon it but it does need to make room for dependence because if you can’t depend on your future partner then I don’t think being in a relationship will work for me.
7. If you cooked for your date, what would you cook?
I can follow a recipe pretty good so I can cook anything but I would gear for something healthy, somewhat exotic and domestic.
8. At the end of a first date, how would you kiss your date?
a. Press your lips against theirs If there’s something there then we might just venture on to answer c but that press against the lips tells me all I need to know about what kind of connection we’ll have for the future.
b. Gentle kiss on the cheek
c. Lots o’ tongue, like you’re on a tonsil exploration
d. I don’t kiss on the first date
Bonus: You just put up a profile on a dating site. You must describe yourself in 10 words or less. What are your 10 words?
Honest, loyal, outgoing, cultured tomboy who can fulfill your desires.
Now, I know you all know how to play TMI Tuesday. I’ve left enough links to the site. Just head on over there and play with the rest of the web crew. Hope you enjoyed my answers.
Take care and have fun!
ps I know I haven’t really written anything on my blog as of late and that’s because I’ve been doing some serious introspection into my life. Once I am through with all that, I’ll be back better than ever.
TMI Tuesday: The Butt Nekkid Mayhem
7/18/1 — 4 Comments
NAKED
1. What do you wear to sleep in?
Depends on the situation. When I’m in an active relationship, then I will wear nothing at all. When I’m not, then it’s t-shirt and panties.
2. Do you ever walk around your own place naked?
All the time.
3. Have you or would you ever answer the door naked?
Only if I knew who it was that was knocking or ringing the door bell.
4. What part of your body do you like to be on show? Why?
I am not particular. I can walk around naked with people in the house or by myself. Being naked is freeing.
5. When sunbathing how much do you bare?
The whole point of sunbathing is to tan and I don’t need to for the simple fact I was born tanned. However, I would lay out on the beach naked next to the ocean just because I could.
6. Have you or would you bare all on a naturist (nude) beach?
See answer 5. I wouldn’t mind joining a nudist colony once I got over this bashful streak.
7. Have you ever flashed your bits in public? If not would you if it turned your partner on?
Unfortunately, nope I’ve never flashed anyone in public. My body is for me and my partner alone. No one else’s business.
8. Have you ever given a striptease or has anyone given you one? Did you enjoy it?
Yes I have. Yes I did.
9. Ever gone skinny dipping? Alone or with others?
Haven’t done that yet. I wonder why.
10. Do you like to look at naked people or do you want show off your nakedness?
Looking. Being naked in it’s own little way is sensual whether it’s man or woman. I’m not looking for excitement but enjoyment of seeing how nature has made us different.
Bonus: Sexually speaking, what’s the furthest you would go with a partner in public? Have you had sex in public?
All the way and yes, I have had sex in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant. I was young and not really caring about getting caught. I feel bad for the children that got an eye full that night.

TMI Tuesday: Musical Mayhem
7/18/1 — 5 Comments
I know I have been remiss in my TMI duties so I thought I would try and comeback with a bang! Just take a look see below.
I Love Music
I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it’s groovin’
1. What’s the most annoying song in the world?
The most annoying song in the world… Hell, it’s a hard thing to say because everything is subjective. What may be annoying to me may not annoy anyone else. In my HONEST opinion, the most annoying song is Willow Smith’s Whip My Hair. I like it but it just really annoys me *whispers* it’s the only song in my head right now.
2. What’s the saddest song in the world?
The saddest song in the world to me is Toni Braxton’s Another Sad Love Song. It’s wrecking my brain like crazy.
3. What’s the sexiest song in the world?
Once again I’m kind of different but Adina Howard’s T-Shirt and Panties is the sexiest song out.
4. Name a new, to you, band or music artist that you can’t get enough of? Post a link to one of their songs.
I’m actually falling for Mumford and Sons. I like their folksy, banjo-y sound. It’s really catchy and their lyrics are honest and refreshing.
5. Have you met any famous musicians?
When I was a little, little, girl, I found my way onto a set shooting a video for some Mexican, Cowboy singer. I don’t even remember his name. He was walking down the Riverwalk and I was standing there and he just shook my hand. I never saw if I made it into the video but that’s the closest I’ve come to meeting a famous musician.
6. What song best describes your life?
Alanis Morissette’s Everything
7. How important is your partner’s taste in music to you?
It’s just important that he loves music. Music is such an important part of my life. I tend to calm down and think when I’m immersed in its sound. It doesn’t necessarily have to be what I like but he has to have a respect for it.
8. Do you sing in the shower?
Yes, I do.
9. What was the last live music show you attended? Did you buy a t-shirt?
The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra was doing a Star Wars night in the park. Did I buy a t-shirt? No but I did get a lighted light saber.
10. What’s the sweetest song in the world?
Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. It was written for his baby daughter when she was born. Also Rob Thomas’s Her Diamonds. He wrote it for his wife when she is going through her pain episodes.
11. Can you play a musical instrument? Which one?
I can play 4. Violin, Cello, Flute and Bassoon.
12. Are you in a band or are you a performing solo music artist? If yes, what kind of music do you play?
It would be nice but no I’m not artistic with music and word like that.
13. Have you ever dated a musician?
No but I would.
14. Are you a groupie?
– If yes, for what artist/band? Oh hell yeah… I love the outta Maroon 5. Their music is just….
Bonus: Describe your worst, best, strangest, funniest or saddest concert moment.
Best: It was the Fat Boys with New Edition. My very first concert. We had great seats in the gallery and I was young enough to stand on the seat armrests and see over everybody. I’ll never forget it!
Bonus, Bonus: If you listen to the radio, what station and type of music are you tuned to the most?
When I listen to the Radio, I’m mainly tuned into SiriusXM’s the Pulse. It has all the music from the 90s to today. There’s no modern day hip hop played on it which I like because I can’t stand the direction hip hop is heading.

TMI Tuesday: Kayotic Cheater
7/18/1 — 1 Comment
Her: I saw you flirting with her. Cheater!
Him: It’s not cheating if we don’t have intercourse.
1. You have been separated from your significant other for six months. An attractive, attentive neighbor has paid you flattering attention. It is obvious he/she wishes to take the relationship further. Do you:
a. Dismiss him/her, you’re in a committed relationship.
b. Continue to flirt, but go no further.
c. Fantasize about him/her, but take care of your sexual needs solo.
d. Let the affair become physical.
2. A male co-worker whom you have heard is great in bed and very well endowed has been flirting with you a lot. He obviously wishes to start a relationship. Do you: (This question is for women AND men).
a. Make it clear to him you’re not interested.
b. Flirt with him but go no further
c. Mentally undress him and wonder what he’d be like in bed.
d. Let the relationship become sexual.
3. Your significant other is impotent most of the time, showing little interest in you and little interest in being sexual. Do you:
a. Resign yourself to no sex.

5. What kind of partner do you prefer while making love or having sex?
a. Tender, loving, slow and sweeet
b. I don’t care, just do me; it’s been a while
c. Tough, take-charge, I like it a little rough
d. Any lovin’ is good lovin’
Bonus: Do you mind if your significant other ogles/checks out another sexy person? What if they comment on that person, do you mind that?
I could care less if my significant other checks out another person. They are human. We are naturally attracted to all types of people. I also could care less if they comment on other people. Nine times out of ten, I’ll probably share the sentiment.
Bonus, Bonus: What are your thoughts on the TMI Tuesday image and the caption beneath it?
It’s truthful and honest. Look, here’s the thing: People are going to flirt. It’s what people do. All flirtation is playful banter between one person and another. It’s all in how you act on it. If it keeps the workplace relaxed, friendship fresh and enjoyable I say go ahead. Now if the two people flirting are in a relationship and it’s going further than where it needs to go then this is where issues arise.

Gifts. Have Become a Chore.
7/18/1
I give gifts. Have no issues. I usually buy it and go on my merry way.
HOWEVER….
My family?! Hell no. This shit truly makes me angry. First off, my nephew’s birthday is next week. I decide to buy him a gift and his mother (my sister) asks, “is that all you’re getting him?” WTF else does he need?! He’ll be 7 years old. What else do I need to buy him?!?
So in the midst of buying him what he asked me for, she “suggests” I buy him another gift. I roll my eyes and get the damn gift because I am tired of all these people trying to spend my damn money. One of the games is actually 50% off so I don’t care or mind.
Here comes worry wart #2: my mother. “Well if you buy it online will it get here by the 10th?” Who gives a rat’s ass?!? He’s getting two gifts from me what more do you want?! I calmly explained and reminded her that we had a Xmas where gifts we wanted didn’t come on time. Of course that doesn’t go over well. She says “thank you” in her most sarcastic voice. I roll my damn eyes.
I just want to know… when did children become so special they can’t get one gift and where is it written in stone they need the gift on the day of special occasion?!? I mean am I wrong here?! Have I been Lost in Space? Relocated to the Land of the Lost? Shipped to the Planet of the Apes. I mean what the hell else can I freaking do!?!
