Today my apartment caught on fire and I lost everything.
Well, I dont want to lie. My two favorite pieces of furniture (two end tables) and most of my books/dvds/music all managed to be salvageable. I think. Once the fire trucks left and I dealt with Red Cross, I had to dip. I just couldnt be…
Do something.

This little girl leaves me speechless. It’s not even the clothes or the posing. Her face is incredible and so gorgeous and so tiny. Her eyes are so full of life. You see kids sometimes posed by their parents and they look vacant and distant, I wouldn’t be shocked if this little girl dressed herself and said, “Mom, get the camera. I got some looks.”
I want a little girl…
I’m not a Jill Scott fan but this is one of my favorite songs in the world and it is singing my life right now. It’s on repeat because of reasons and has now become the ringtone of the reason so that when the phone rings, I’ll be reminded and I won’t answer.
Slowly surely,
I walk away from
that old desperate and dazed love
caught up in the maze of love
the crazy craze of love
thought it was good
thought it was real
thought it was
but it wasn’t love
I just don’t know
Where i should go
So
Slowly surely
I walk away from
self-serving
undeserving
constantly hurting me love
deserting me love
you said, I said, we said
but
Slowly surely
I walk away from
confusing love
misusing love
abusing love
this can’t be
Slowly surely
I walk away from
self serving
undeserving
constantly hurting me love
I just don’t know
where I should go
No
I just don’t know
know, know, know
Where I should go
so
Slowly surely
I walk away from
that old desperate and dazed love
caught up in the maze of love
the crazy craze of love
thought it was good
thought it was real
thought it was
but it wasn’t love
I just don’t know where to go
So
Slowly surely
I walk away from
I walk away from
Slowly surely
I walk away from love
Oh
slowlyy, surely one step at a time
but surely
I will pass the old love aside
and love me
slowly,
surely I walk away from
slowly surely I walk away from desperating love
caught up in the maze love
crazy crazy craze of love
slowly surely, I walk away from [repeat 5 times]
Slooooooowly Suuuuuuurely, slowly surely

If Romney won Roe Vs. Wade, Planned Parenthood, Marriage equality, social programs for the poor etc. etc. etc…. these things would have been done away with. That’s a reason to be upset. With Obama, you get the same black guy you got before… again. The same one. you know? From before? The one that didn’t make the country implode. The one that killed Osama Bin Laden (Shit y’all were so amped to happen). The one that ended one war and has set plans to end another. Is he perfect? No. But he’s not the fucking anti-christ, you doucheheads. Just say you don’t like the guy and stop acting like you just voted in the Sith. I don’t know what a Sith is but I’m pretty sure people say they are bad guys. Let me use something I’m familiar with stop acting like you voted the Backstreet Boys over NSYNC. :)
In conclusion, Shut the fuck up now. Just stop.
Like this.
What the fuck??? Do they really believe this shit? You lived thorough 8 years of GWB you can survive 4 more years of OBama, you overdramatic pile of hair.
The White People Mourning Romney tumblr was funny for like a day and then it started to get really sad. Then it started to get really depressing. Then it started to get really disgusting.
I’m so glad I don’t know these people or anyone like them.

He reminds me of so many of the black men that I love. I know people chastise you for getting attached to politicians. But I don’t just see a politician, I see the community organizer from Chicago, I see Malia and Sasha’s dad. I see Michelle’s husband. I see Bo’s person. I see my dad. I see my uncles. I see my brothers. I see a man who is doing the best he can in a difficult situation because he actually cares about the results. This is a real human person. And I wish to never get so jaded that I forget that within us all, there is a cord of humanity that runs deep. If I refuse to see the humanity in you, then I’ve lost mine.
That’s what angers me about all the anti-Obama hate. It’s not disliking his politics. That’s fine. We all have the right to do that. It’s when you decide to strip this man of his humanity. When you decide to take who he is and fold it into something false and disgusting to fit your agenda. When you forget that this is a man who cries when speaking to his STAFF about the pride he feels in what THEY accomplished after winning a second term as President of The United States. You have to work HARD to make him evil. It’s not good enough to say, “I think all politicians are….” Look at this man. YOu can’t fake this. You absolutely cant. If you could, Mitt Romney would have and he couldn’t. This is a real person. We elected a real person. When I look at him in this clip, I see somebody’s dad. Someone who cares. Someone who is doing the absolute best he can with what he’s been given.
I’m proud that I voted for this man. Let the others be mad. Let them lose their humanity in falsehoods. Look at this man. Listen to what he’s saying to people who can’t do a thing for him anymore. That’s the measure of a man.
Basically, dude is looking for a way out of this engagement and Romney gave him one. “Yeah, baby I’m scares too… we should call the wedding off coz how can we get straight married when Obama is making everybody get gay married to aborted babies? It’s just not right. So when can I get the ring back?”
