Word of the day: Muffin

Word of the Day: Muffin

N. A delicious, moist, and fluffy treat that comes in many flavors, shapes, sizes, and scents. It takes a great baker/caker to acquire a great muffin. Box muffin mixes are just so easy to come across. Any and everybody gets those boxed muffins. Males should strive to get those home made muffins. Ones that are freshly made!

"Man, I heard that she just be bluffin' with her muffin. She is a good girl, no shone there!"

Mobile Thuggin' ?

So everyone is familiar with the new FAB of Internet/Facebook Thuggin' (Also Known as iGoonin'). Well, we cannot forget about that good ol' Mobile Thuggin'.

Why do people feel the need to Mobile Thug?

Are they trying to hide behind there tiny little cell phone screens?

I love it when people get mad at you, and call themselves going off on you via TEXT! Really, a text! Lets do better with our lives. I mean I know that technology is progressing and we all have nice gadgets that allow us to do cool tricks on our phones. But, MOBILE THUGGIN'! I don't think this is what the technology was made for.

So I have a few reasons as to why these forms of Goons exist:
1. Lack of Self-Esteem
2. Lack Confidence
3. Lacks Hobbies
4. Lacks Friends
5. Lacks a Life

I know this sounds harsh but its true. Message to ALL Mobile Thugs: STOP HATING AND HIDING BEHIND THE SCREEN AND MAN UP BEFORE WE HAVE A MAN DOWN SITUATION! GNR!

The Cafeteria

So as you all may know, this past week I left Florida to embark on a great experience of my life. I am interning in Cambridge, MA (which is right by Boston for those of you who didn't know like me!). The program is called Breakthrough Collaborative. The program works to insure that underprivileged youth gets the necessary resources and help needed to ensure that they enroll in a four year college program. So to sum up what I do, I help impact the lives of numerous middle school-aged kids. Yea I know, I'm changing lives one step at a time.

Well, one of the assignments for the internship was to read some articles that were related to the program. One of the articles read discussed the scenario of "The Cafeteria" in schools. This article really intrigued me and sparked an idea to make it an entry.

The article depicted a scenario in a high school in which when you entered the cafeteria you saw segregation. The article stated that all the black kids sat at the table together. The article went on to ask:

"DO EXPERIENCES WITH RACISM INEVITABLY RESULT IN SO-CALLED SELF SEGREGATION?"

I began to think of this and came to the conclusion that this scenario also found its way to the University of Florida. If one walked on "The Set" on any given day, you would most likely see the black students in one spot, and the whites on another. Now, I didn't say this was ALWAYS the case, just typically. So you may be thinking why is it that all the blacks segregate themselves, when we fought to be integrated in the first place?

Black students turn to each other for support, that they might not get from anyone else. We can relate with each other, and understand the struggles we have been through.

In society, academic success is often times associated with being white, so successful black students often find it hard to fit in with any crowd while in school. The blacks feel they act white, and the whites still know they are black. This can be a confusing time for educated blacks. Where are we supposed to fit in? Do we pretend to be hood to be accepted by our race? Or, try really really hard to be white so that the whites accept us? People need to stay true to who you are and not change for NO ONE!! If that means you act white, then act white! (WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ACT WHITE ANY WAYS??) Just do you!! Im tired of people judging each other just because we trying to do something productive with our lives... GEEZ!!! stop worrying about each other and read a book (you know blacks dont like to read!)

Well, thats all I got right now!!! I need to hit the bed. I have training in the morning! Gotta get right so I can teach these kids!!!

Word of the day: Wholahay

Wholahay:

Adjective.

1. Term used to show endearment for another individual.
2. Used in a substitution of the English Language phrase: "Who the hell???"
3. A wholahay can also describe a promiscuous male/female (For those of you who attended UF's PAACT know Promiscuous Pedals). This person is in touch with their sexuality and is not afraid to show it. This person is by no means a shone or jezebel. This person is more of a tease.

"Wholahay that is down stairs bamming on my door like they crazy."

"Dang, you see that wholahay over there. She CGI!"

Word of the day: Elroyed

Elroyed:

V. The act of being involved in intercourse with another individual. This intercourse could be considered sexual, but not necessarily. A person who has been elroyed has been involved in futuristic activities. This intercourse can be considered out of this world, yet innocent. Never underestimate an individual attempting to elroy, they may surprise you!

"Shawty gone and hop in my ride. I'm talking bout that futuristic love are you with it. Do you want to be elroyed by me? I promise that it will be surreal and ultramodern."
__________________________________________________________________

Being elroyed is not necessarily a bad thing! As long as you are not elroying the entire universe, than you are okay. Just remember to only elroy in moderation!!

Dead Beat Dads!! The New Fab????

So I felt it to be appropriate on this day, Father's Day, to discuss dead beat dads all over the world.

Did you know that:

Nearly 47% of Black children live in single-parent homes, more than any other American ethnic group.

This is nearly half of all black kids in the world. Is it just me or is this number mind boggling.

About 40% of black children live in homes headed by single mothers.

WTH???? So where are all the Black fathers??? This is a very good question, and I'm sure a lot of single Black mothers would like to know the answer too. Well I'm going to try to think of reasons why males are not raising their kids.

1. Lacks Responsibility- I've noticed that males do not own up to their responsibilities LIKE MEN SHOULD. It takes two to tangle! So you are just as responsible for raising this child as their mother.
2. Lacks Drive- Who wants to be a DAD these days??? Its not in season huh?? You would rather be out partying on the beach and club hopping. Having kids ain't good for your street cred huh? But, of course why should you take care of your kids when you know their mother will. You have no desire to stress yourself out about it because you know your baby mama got yo back.
3. Lacks Motivation- Most and likely if you are a dead beat dad, then you were raised with a dead beat dad. DBD-ism (Dead Beat Dad syndrome) is often times hereditary. You have nothing to inspire you to do right. Even though you could use your lack of a father as motivation to do the right thing, You'd rather not. You would rather just keep perpetuating the stereotype, and just keep the trend going, BECAUSE its a "TRADITION!"
4. Lacks Education- Most DBDs are young! I am by no means stating that all DBDs are young, but most are. The trend for DBDs is to impregnant women, pretend like they will be there for their kids, drop out of high school , and roam the streets. DBDs do not normally seek a higher education, which leads to the next....
5. Lacks Money- NO EDUCATION=NO JOB=NO MONEY!!! DBDs will normally not take care of their kids because they "can't afford to." You all know how much diapers cost! Plus, we in a RECESSION! It's just too much to keep up with. You know DBDs would much rather spend money on cars and rims and shoes. Its so much MORE important than your KIDS.
6. Lacks Commitment- SOME men (not ALL!) are afraid of commitments whether that be relationships or life. Having children is a lifelong commitment! You cant just one day take it back, and be like okay today I do not have kIDS!!! If only it was that easy. Your kids ain't going no where. AND this probably scares a lot of males who do not want to be tied down! Some males even run away from their kids because they think they will be forced to be in relationships with their Baby Mamas. You do not have to be together to take care of your children.
7. Lacks Critical Thinking- Some males think that a child could hinder your "game" or swavor. You think they gonna be c-blockers and prevent you from getting yours. Because think about it no one wants to be on South Beach memorial Day weekend with kids by your side. Whose gonna want to talk to you?? However, if this is actually thought out and analyzed it is a benefit to be a father to your kids. Thik about it! A girl sees you out with your two kids, she will assume that you must have your ish together if you are taking care of your responsibilities, and of course she will want to talk to you. Kids can be girl magnets, ESPECIALLY cute kids!

If any of you out there are DEAD BEAT DADS, then I advise you to take care of your responsibilities and help raise your own kids. You laid down and made the child, so you can help raise the child. I'm so tired of seeing single moms working two jobs, and in school, while you sit at home doing nothing. Just remember that...

Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad.
