Go to: bossydiva.wordpress.com............Diva will tell you all about it.
For me this home represents an effort that began 11 months ago. It started with an “I love you” on a Sunday morning before church and a desire to live a life that was free from coldness. Diva and I were tired of cold climate and cold hearts. We wanted our children to be free to run and learn and we had enough of the hustle and bustle. So we settled on the hustle and flow…..Memphis. Some of you know the story as to why, I’m not retelling it so if you don’t know….
Go to: bossydiva.wordpress.com...........Diva will tell you all about it.
A word to those close to Diva who think I’m here for some alternative reason…they oughta know:
1. They can kiss my ass, cause I’m staying.
2. I love my family and try as you like, you’ll never be able to prove otherwise.
3. I’ve never allowed myself to stay anywhere where I did not contribute.
4. THIS IS MY HOUSE AND I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED…ALL VIOLATORS WILL BE THROWN OUT THE FUCKING DOOR IMMEDIATELY!
5. You can check the lease for confirmation on #4
6. Kiss my ass again, ‘cause I’m still here to type it.
7. I hate frauds and I hate frauds who pose as friends even more (for more on this see “Its me Snitches!!!”
Go to: bossydiva.wordpress.com.............Diva will tell you all about it.
8. No one will ever be more demanding of me then I am of myself. No one.
9. I will never personally accept another act of “kindness” from any of them. Diva might, but I never will. I’ve lost all respect for many…and some are borderline.
10. I’m a MAN of principle…I do not arbitrarily fuck people over…it’s a code I’m proud to embrace.
11. I’d like to thank them....their bullshit only made the relationship between Diva and I stronger….Its love Snitches!!!!!
Now….lets move forward
The south, for all its ills, is a wonderful place. There is God here, demonstrated by the fact that no corner is complete without a house of worship. There is pride, culture, and a sense that the really good things in life take a little time to manifest themselves fully….but its always worth the wait. Oh but Memphis is no Shangri-la. What qualifies as news is shocking and insulting, I can’t get a Yankee game down here…which is killing me….dammit Comcast!, and beware don’t come down here with all that Jeru the Damaja ish….You can get shot, stuck in a trunk, and crushed alive in a junkyard…quick (really happened!). I thought by now I’d miss New York…I don’t…I miss my family…but not New York. 4 months ago I jumped out the window….4 months later…
I’m flying…Wheeeeeeeee!
What’s next? Who knows? Letters in Public Administration?...I think so, a new car…definitely. Most importantly, I’ve got the space to dream again, not just survive, that’s something I lost in New York, and man, it feels so, so good to have it back
We are Virginia Tech.
We are sad today and we will be sad for quite awhile. WE are not moving on, we are embracing our mourning.
We are Virginia Tech.
We are strong enough to know when to cry and sad enough to know we must laugh again.
We are Virginia Tech.
We do not understand this tragedy. We know we did not deserve it but neither does a child in Africa dying of AIDS, but neither do the invisible children walking the night to avoid being captured by a rogue army. Neither does the baby elephant watching his community be devastated for ivory; neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of the night in his crib in the home his father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized. No one deserves a tragedy.
We are Virginia Tech.
The Hokier Nation embraces our own with open heart and hands to those who offer their hearts and minds. We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid. We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness.
We are the Hokies.
We will prevail, we will prevail.
We are Virginia Tech. "

Yesterday was Jackie Robinson Day.....All of the African American Players (all 7 or 8 of them) and some entire teams wore #42 in his honor...nice. I'm still pissed. Jackie would be too. MLB's presence in the so-called inner cities is virtually non-existent. So while I'm happy we're able to play....it would be nice if we were encouraged to play. I wonder if anybody on the Astros (0 black players) celebrated?
Did anybody hear what Imus said this morning????....whoops...forgot about that.
Speaking of Imus, can we blame him for Gov. John Corzine's accident this weekend too. I'm in a pile on kinda mood today.
One of my 8 year olds tried to forge my name on her exam results this morning IN BIG BLOCK LETTERS.....as if....as if....nevermind.
Why did Tim Duncan get tossed yesterday? I thought laughing at bad calls was the way to go....guess not.
A guy here in the Memphis area shot, burned and basically buried a black Code Enforcement Officer....he got 15 years. "THE SOUTH IS ALIVE AND WELL", his mother said....well said.
I was thinking of going to Grizzlies game tonight, then I slapped the ish outta myself and snapped out of it...whoooo that was close.
The Memphis Redbirds are complaining that no one is showing up to their games....um....you guys just got blanked on both ends of a double-header...who the hell wants to see that??????
Can somebody please blow up the old Sears Tower on Cleveland Avenue...its an absolute eyesore.
Can somebody please tell the guy who owns the only grocery store and restaurant on President's Island and blocks competition of any kind, that one of the great things about America is the freedom of choice and the workers on President Island want to choose somewhere else. Jesus, I hate greedy ass people.
After last week I have one thing to day.....In-laws are the worst....seriously...the worst.
I'm going to keep this short.
I promise.
Everyday, I hear us insult us.
Don Imus does it
And we're insulted.
because it was blasted on radio.
I deplore Imus
but i deplore hypocrisy more
And right now....
The only reason why we're mad...is because a white man said
what we say to each other ....ALL THE TIME!!!!!
That's bullshit.
You want an apology???? Say sorry to yourself in the mirror everytime you call a black man, "My Nigga" or a black woman "My Bitch"
Please...
Nappy headed ho's is light compared to some of the ish I hear from us.
Where do you think he got that (nappy headed ho's) from?
You think he made that up on his own?

Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?
Nope. there's nothing on other planets except rocks and gas....and the occasional little green man.
