Britt.Britt & All That Entails

I’d be forever grateful if yall could dead this $200.00 date discussion. Most folks aren’t going to agree. Everyone has different salaries & budgets. Deal with it. If you can afford to spend $200 on a date, congratulations. If you can’t, that’s fine. There are plenty of women who don’t require a $200.00 date. Work with what you have and can afford. Do you really need to know how much they spend on a date anyway?

                they say.

but who

are they 

to say

anything

about

something

they know

nothing of;

especially

when they

power.

                Luckily I’m

Maybe I’m From a Different School of Thought….

ramblingsofanurbanjawn:

But I dont think there is anything wrong with a dude saying, “yo, I’m a good dude. There are some fuckshit assholes out there…but I’m a good dude.”

I have known some bad dudes. Maybe to some women, bad dudes are nothing but a concept. But I have known some bad fucking dudes, man. Bad men. You might even say “evil,” if you believe in that kind of thing.

I’m not talking about men who bitch about how good they are how they’re being friend zoned and then turn around and call all women “bitches who only want assholes so fuck all those cunts.”

I’m talking about a dude who as never harmed you, who has never disrespected you, who has never shown you malice, a dude like that saying “hey, I’m a good man. I realize there are assholes out there, but I’m a good dude. Gimme a shot.” And if they hear “no” and that man says “aight, thats too bad. I’m an ok guy though,” I don’t look at him and think anything other than he is probably a good man, just not for me. 

Maybe to some women, good dudes are nothing but a concept. But I have known some good fucking dudes, man. I have known some AMAZING men. I have dated some AMAZING men. I am friends with some amazing men and some of them have amazing girlfriends. 

But like I mentioned in a post a while ago, I love men. I am cautious with them. I know that they can hurt me, both physically and mentally. I look and listen and watch and follow my instincts as often as I can. 

Sometimes when a man calls himself a “good dude” my red light goes off and there are sounds of laughter in my head because my instinct just told me that you are a piece of shit.

But other times…man….they are good dudes. And it’s ok for them to take some credit just like it’s ok for US to take some credit. Why can’t we, as humans,  take occasional credit for our goodness? Why is that bad? Why is it ok for ME to say “yo, I am a great woman” but it’s not ok for them to say the same?

Whether they are friends or lovers or past lovers or future lovers or just out there existing making someone happy or trying to make someone happy…ya’ll good ones?

Man….I appreciate ya’ll. 

There is so much truth in this post. I appreciate the genuinely good men and the women who know that you don’t have to bash every any man.

It’s been 5 years since my uncle died.

Still doesn’t feel real. His favorite nephew looks more and more like him everyday. I wish he were here to see his grandson grow up. To have been at my granny’s 70th birthday part. I really wish that Alicia Keys song didn’t still make me think of him & cry.  I wish that flag was never presented. 

Thank you to all the military men & women for everything you have done and will do.

& may those who have passed on rest peacefully.

Happy birthday, Uncle Pat. You’re always missed.
