Questions: I have so many of them!


Questions:

From time to time, my thoughts are flooded with questions.  Some serious, some silly, some that can be answered and some that will continue to be a mystery.  Some are deep, some that are shallow, but yet and still, I always have questions.

How come talking to an ex sometimes feels so awkward, when before, it used to be effortless?

How come we’re not taught real life experiences in school such as: credit, corporate politics, nepotism, betrayal in the workplace, etc. and how to deal with it?  I worked for a supervisor who is 25, this is her second job after college.  I'm 33 and I have an extensive resume. White privilege? Favoritism?  Racism?  No blackie, we just don't like you.

Why do friends feel that sometimes they have a pass to overstep their boundaries by saying hurtful things, but mask it as, “I was telling you the truth”.  No, you took the opportunity to be rude, bitch!

Why is it that sometimes the forbidden feels so good? Damn you, Eve!

Why is it that trust is hard to gain but easy to let go? 

Why is love hard to find?  Really it's not hard to find, its hard to maintain.

Why is that females are wired more with emotion and men with logic? 

Why do we still live in a society where racism is acceptable?  Why do we tolerate it?  Black President is NOT a sign of change, if anything thing it is a cover up for the outwardly racist to hate you in other ways.

Why is it that I can’t be black, lower middle class, yet I can’t agree with some of things Republicans have to say?  The Repubs make sense sometimes.  Tea Party--they can go to hell!

Why are your friends and family the biggest critics yet not your biggest supporters?

Why do women love to gossip about each other? I watch it, hear it and sometimes engage in it and never stop it.  Shame on me.  Gossip Guilt.

Why do men feel that love/marriage is optional?

Why is it shocking that woman chooses to be single and no kids after 35?

Why do married people forget what being single felt like? More like they get a dose of  "I'm better than you, single loser"

Why do single people feel sorry for married people, yet still want to be married?  Damn, you gotta be home by 2am?  I haven't had a curfew since 17!

Why are people still mad Michael Vick, yet care less about Michael Jackson’s death?

Why when you get older, you’re more afraid of taking leaps of faith?  I wanna quit my job, pack my car up, and drive to the next city and start over.  I'm scared tho!

Why do people stop believing in their dreams? 

When did Lisa become so cynical? When she started watching conspiracy theory videos on YouTube.

Why do black people hate black people? 

Why do so many people believe man walked on the moon, yet no one has ever been back? 

Why are we so depended on Social Media? 

Why do people share TOO MUCH on social media? They don't have friends and they talk to themselves when they're alone.

Why do I have sickle Cell Disease?  How has it not been eradicated yet?

Why do murders kill people? 

Why do I know more White people that have been to Africa than I do black people? because black people hate black people

Why do I really love Kim Kardashian and her sisters?

Why did they kill Whitney Houston?

What happened to music?  All music:  Jazz, hip hop, R&B, Pop, Rock? 

Who are these people who work for the Grammy’s or Oscar’s?  They pick the worst songs and movies to win each year. 

Why is it harder for blacks to get hired than whites? Fear of a black planet. Public Enemy.

Why is it optional to learn a second language in America and not mandatory? 

Why don’t more Americans know how to speak Spanish?  We all should be able to speak Spanish. 


I can go on and on about these questions, but lets not act like I’m the only one with questions.  What are yours?  Do you have answers?  Please share….or not!

  1. I have a question that I spend every waking moment wondering: Why is it that everything we do has to benefit us in some way, especially when it comes to "helping" others? What ever happened to "goodness of the heart"? Personally, I find it absolutely nauseating when I ask someone for help (which, for anyone who knows me, knows is something that takes every ounce of strength in me to do) and that person basically says to me, "And what will you do for me in return?" when they know very well that I have absolutely nothing that I can give them. I don't know. Maybe I'm just angry about my present circumstances. I just think the world is a selfish place, and I wish everyone would stop trying to overlook, or even deny, that fact.

I’m not sensitive, you’re an A%$hole.

I hate Facebook.  Since 2008 when I joined, I’ve always hated it—Twitter was my first “super” social site and is currently my favorite.  I say “super” social sites because we won’t count AOL Voices, Black Planet, and Myspace (may they rest in peace), but these “super” social sites have IPO’s—yes, I have stock in Twitter since it is my favorite social site.  But I didn’t come on here to talk about social site preferences, but rather the content. In the last few days, Facebook has erupted with adorable (and not so adorable) photos of Daughter/Son appreciation.  Those who are childless have had the luxury of looking at the photos shared, whereas some (like me) scroll right past all the photos only stopping at what incites us.  So, the asshole part, okay, I’m getting to it.  Let me put this out there for those who may have sensitivities to my delivery, approach, or candor. This isn't a blog to negate parenting or complain about a post, but instead, the son/dau...

I'm too old for this! Dating over 40

I know, it’s been a year since I’ve blogged, and honestly, I was avoiding the very thing that brings me joy—I don’t know why.   I won’t go into the self-evaluation of my fears of failure; I’ll save that for another blog in 20-never.  But it is 2:21am July 11th, and I am going through some shit, thus the writing.  Who knows when and IF I will ever publish this tho....if I do, please excuse any typos, missed words, fucked up grammar...I mean, damn, I'm a writer, not an editor.  So, I am writing this after having a real conversation with a “friend” about our “friendship.”    For the first time in my life, I’m avoiding a relationship. If I'm honest, I'm avoiding a new relationship based on unresolved soul-ties I have with other men lingering in the universe.   Now, before you hop on your Judge Judy stand and start to judge/lecture me about “letting go,” my issue with the unresolved isn’t really that I am holding on to them…they...

I'm too old for this! Dating over 40 Part IV

Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover) So many miles away Heaven knows that I long for you Every night, every night I plan, sometimes I dance Through the day Distant lover (lover, lover, lover) You should think about me And say a prayer for me Please, please baby Think about me sometimes Think about me here Here in misery Misery As I reminisce, oh baby, through our joyful summer together The promises we made All the daily letters Then, all of the sudden Everything seemed to explode Now, I gaze out my window Sugar, down a lonesome road ----Mr. Marvin Gaye                          I'm a Virgo; therefore I can be rather particular.   Some call it “bougie” I like to call it preference.   I have a lot of "particulars" such as;  I dislike small talk.   I hate it with a PASSION! ...
