FB status Ignorance at it's best

this is the most ignorant status i have ever read, and sad to say it was written by a black boy, that shows you how some black men view other black women hair. They need to get in touch with their culture, and stop being so dumb and ignorant about black hair.

"why all these girls tryna be natural now.....we've been used to yall weeve nd fake hair that natural just look dead on yall....PSN: str8 hair is soo sexy on a girl"

status comments

Girl: I disagree with your statement!

Girl: some folks like to change it up...u can get off ppl going natural its just not for everyone

Boy: The only reason natural hair looks dead on certain femalez is that their hair is naturally dead bih lol!
[SN: But str8 do look sexy]lol

Girl: Its not like they can't put weave in their hair and its not like they never had natural hair in their life time so what u mean its not for everyone?

Girl: why are you so FREKAN (rude)!!!!!!!!! But to each its own. As for the reason why so many women are going natural....everybody has their own reasons but going natural can be a way of expression or rebelling against Western society's standard of beauty which is "straight, silky hair"

Girl: ....well i think a woman can do whatever she wants..it's HER hair...and it grows back....i've been both and i happen to prefer relaxed at the moment...but i am wondering why it seems like every other girl is natural, transitioning, or contemplating being natural..

Being Natural

So tonight i was at the first party of the year (since everyone is back and ready for school on monday) where me and my girls had a good time, everyone was outside sitting down or standing up posted up, and inside was a sauna like as usual. My attire was pearl earrings (cant go anywhere without them) red dress shirt and skinny jeans and a necklace (yes! i love forever 21). anyways I wore my hair out in a twist out and I LOVED it!!! I even had a few head turners, and one of the things that made my night was this real sexy boy came up to me and my friend, and at first I thought he was going to go to her, because she's light (redbone blah blah blah, you know the story but dont get me wrong i'm not hating) lol but he came to me, and told me how pretty I was and how he loved my natural hair, I was like, "awww thank you!" I'm like see there's goes a man that appreciates a black girls real hair. However, the other day at the welcome back jam, this dude that always try to say hi to me just looked at me and didnt say nothing, I'm like this dude right here not even worth a hi anyway! Btw he's known around campus as Std boy...what a shame, and he doesn't even go to our school, we call those ppl "posers" they walk around school with a book bag, and try to talk to girls all day, and we see them at every party....smh! Anyways i'm calling this a night, and glad to be Naptural <3 !!!!

Fall 09 (Junior year)

School is only 3 days away, and I'm definitely not excited but I am so ready to begin and finish this semester I want nothing less than a B+ in all my classes. I will be turning 21 in Nov. (Ahhhh can't wait) but I dont think I will be partying that much, I'll probably be ghost this semester from the social scene, but I do plan in being apart of the National Council of Negro Women collegiate section they are starting at USF. I need to put my name out there networking wise, and I think this year is a good year to begin, even though it might not be really out there, hey, I'm not trying to be most popular, but i do need to start some where...I pray that this year is successful and my GPA goes up up up and away lol ( i know that was corny but whatever lol). Anyways let me back to this monotone day.....

Food Vitamin Diet & Hair

So after reading the many blogs and articles about growing healthy hair, skin, immune system, I've decided to start my ow diet.

Food
Starting today I will be drinking water daily (i know I should have been doing that already but I love Juice so much, it's just so hard to lol). Watching what I eat and the time I eat, this isnt really a problem, because i dont eat bread, i feel as if it just sits in my stomach and it feels so heavy, I mainly eat rice, chicken, pasta, ground beef, corn, some vegetables, and sometimes fruits, its not the best diet, but I'm in college and money is tight.

Vitamins
I have been using and will continue to use are Garlic Pills (Heart/cardiovascular system) Whole food Multi-Vitamin and Mineral without iron (the pills are so BIG ugh, but they help the body as a whole) , and Biotin (skin/hair/nails).

Hair
Wash my hair at least 2x a wk with organix conditioner and once every two weeks or month with organix shampoo, apply MegaTek 3x a wk on scalp, moisturize moisturize moisturize everyday, wear a silk scarf to bed, braid or flat twist my hair every night so its not matted in the morning!

Well thats it for now, if anything changes i'll just add it!

No more

The smell of your scent the warmth of your body when I embraced you with a hug. It brought me back to the good memories and time we had. I did not want to let go, but I had to because I was brought back to reality within seconds...[[True Story]] sigh...does that mean I'm still attached, even though we never talk.

Alone

Have you ever felt like you were alone in the world like some people abandoned you when they swore they never will. Well thats how I feel right now! But when I am in this mood, I just go to God in prayer, cuz I know He will always be by my side and I love him very much. I LOVE you Jesus!!!!

Untitled Poem

This is poem I just made up on the spot one day at work, I don't know if its good enough to put up on facebook or anywhere else, some parts of it seems a little choppy to me, but let me know what you think if you want...I was feeling a little emo but what ever its just a poem of how I felt at the time. Oh yea! Its not done!!

As i lay here in my bed, hearing the sounds of the cool summer rain meticulously pounding on the window pane one drop at a time

I closed my eyes as my mind wondered into my deepest inner thoughts.

Thoughts that I have kept hidden for years, scared because of not wanting to let my true self show,

My vulnerability...

it was too precious to me and know one was allowed to take it from me

Not even myself

My walls were built so high, that not even the sun could seap through the tiny crevices of the wall

So darkness became its cohabitant...

But as a I wondered around...

There it was a pearl so bright resting amongst the darkness

the pearl was a memory, a good memory, but a memory I wanted to forget forever

Memory of....."love"

That...is what it was inside of me...waiting to be exposed, wanting to be caressed and held

something that I will never leave unguarded just for the sake of my sanity

It was the memories of long nights on the phone having stimulating conversations, and days with just being held by the emotions of the feeling of "love" without uttering a word, because i thought we were in sync with our bodies and mind

It created a whirlwind in my mind, a sandstorm of deep desires that shifted all of my humane senses, loosing control of my reality...

I was yet again exposed by this thing called "love"

But this time I was the one looking in,

not to be bothered by the insecurities, lies and deception that sometimes came with this forbidden territory if loved by the wrong person.

A lil' bit of everything (kinda)

Career/Goals
What in the world am I going to do once I graduate from college, and what if I do not have a job offer, that is the one thing I am worried about. That is why I'm thinking about going into Geriatric Nursing, since my major is Gerontology and a Minor in Public Health. I would have more options and I'm also going to Grad school...but I'm thinking which will be a better move, going to grad school first or go into a nursing program if i do decide to pursue nursing. Nurses are in demand.

Relationships
When will I find the right one, I think about that question but then I think to my self again and say i can wait. I'm enjoying myself right now, and I don't feel like being bothered and tied down to one person. I enjoy meeting new people, and having options. Point Blank!

College Life
This semester is going to be sooo different at USF, from what I'm hearing all the black sororities are coming back on campus, since they were all suspended and some were not active. So I'm just ready to see how everything will change, and people will be creeping all over the place just to keep their pledging a secret lol. Classes are still so boring and sometimes a struggle to stay interested especially night classes. There will definetly be parties and I will be turning 21 this year, I'm so excited and I cant wait. So drinks on me lol....um sike! But I will be attending a 21 and up club in Channelside, with who ever wants to go with me.

There's so much more to say but I have to get ready for work which is in an hour.
