Diary Of A Dope-Ass Spartan

I have a friend that freaks out at everything. You have to be careful what you do or what you say around her. It's like you're always walking on ice. See the thing with this friend is I let her walk all over me and I really don't know why. I was her go to girl, the one that was always there no matter what, the one that never said no. We used to have our fights but I'm sure we all go through that with our friends. I wouldn't say anything and she would paint me so bad to her friends but then when things go bad with them she'd then come back to me. The funny thing with people like her is that instead of apologizing they paint themselves as the victims. I cared so much about her needs that I ended up neglecting my own needs. My actions taught her how to treat me until I adjusted my behavior. It's great to be the nice guy but when it comes at the expense of your own dignity then you need an injection of backbone. We all have that one person that thinks ...

Random rant, well not really random because this is actually an issue that is making me angry. This thing called media is pretty messed up and the way us as black people seem to be fighting to make our race look bad is maddening. I was just cleaning my room and of course I just had to start thinking. The way black sisters are taking off their clothes now just to sell records. I've never seen Adele taking off her clothes but she's won awards for her work. These musicians have become so desperate that they are losing focus of who they are. Kids look up to people like Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara e.t.c now don't get me wrong their music is good but the image they portray is just not appropriate especially when they know their music captures the younger audience. I'm not going to make this about race but this just happens, the population of white girls idolize singers like Adele and Taylor Swift and they're clothes are always on. If I was a mother those are the kind of peopl...

I'm pretty sure every girl wants THE WOW factor but what is THE WOW factor? I was catching up with my friend today and boy have I missed her, she's a little ball of fire and I absolutely love her to bits. We were talking about guys, I mean we're girls what else are we supposed to talk about when we're catching up? Back to guys and the WOW factor, I don't really know how to explain it. It's not something you can explain, it's something you feel. We're not hopeless romantics at all, if you see us you'd agree, we just want the WOW factor. I'll try to explain It as best as I can. The WOW factor is that undeniable chemistry that has you wanting to run for the hills but has you paralysed and wanting more at the same time. Believe me we're not into the whole fairy tale type of love or relationships. There is a happily ever after for everyone but we try to keep it realistic. This isn't only about me and her though, it's about all girls, I...

This afternoon two explosions occurred near the finish line at the Boston Marathon. At least two people were killed and a lot more wounded. This is a sad day. Words cannot express how saddened we all are to hear of this terrible incident. That said i'm also sorry to day this but America's open society makes them vulnerable to  that type of terrorism. America as a whole should not let terrorists change them into fearful people. This is the time to stand united together. Whoever did this is a coward. There were many people participating not only from America but from all around the world. Not only did they attack Boston, this was not an attack on America only either but an attack on the world. America needs to step up their homeland security and everyone around the world should send their prayers to Boston. May God Bless you all.

Since some next genius invented booty shaking seems like every youngin' out there wants to be seen dropping it like it's hot! What I'm talking about isn't just referring to young black girls, it goes for every girl out there but since I'm a young impressionable black woman too might as well speak to my people since we're the ones that think we can twerk, booty shake, drop it low better than any other girls out there. Where I'm from taking the kind of videos that will embarrass your parents in public is frowned upon. As an African girl I don't think that just because you're in a different country you have to throw away your traditions and go crazy. You see 16 year olds having sex, it's a sad world I tell you. I'm worried about our generation. We should be making our parents proud instead of embarrassing our ancestors. I'm not judging anyone here because believe me I can get down in the club but I have my limits and I know them. See girls ...

I know I've been awol for a couple of weeks but I just couldn't find the energy or inspiration to write something or anything. I'm back though and today I'm gonna tell you a little story about my two friends Violet and Indigo, yes those are not their real names lol. Moving on my two special friends were dating brothers and girls know how cool that is. Best friends dating brothers, it's adorably 1950's right? We'll start with Violet, she was happy yada-yada-yada, they were friends before anything else and she knew what she was getting herself into, when your mind is made up that's it. It's done! Now Violets guy (we'll call him Danny) has a leech of an ex and a psycho baby mums but we can't fault him cause of that right? No it' not his fault so Violet decided to stay. For months everything was perfect, they'd have their fights but what couple doesn't? Here's where everything gets fucked up (excuse my French . Our Danny boy is...
