Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

Grade A Shiggidy

Junk Mail + Moratorium + PSA - No BackTalk

I…I’m not sure what….who…um….

Sweet Jesus part the sky.

Who is responsible for this brand of fooliwog? Or as a burn-out English singer would say, “this f-ery”.

I thought seeing the 4yr old little boy in the store with his pants sagging was the end but this?

Oh, guess I could show you the “what” huh so you can judge for yourself.

You ready?

You sure?

Ok….but I’m telling you - it is as Clair Huxtable would say, “Sad, pitiful AND pathetic!”.

Introducing…..

BABY WIGS

Photobucket

Baby Wigs: Luxury or Ludicrous

Jesus be a fence…a case of Dr. Miracle and some Do Grow.

Parents, Aunties, Godmothers, Big Mamas, all those in the village….

please…

I implore you -

JUST SAY NO!!

This warrants a PSA don’t cha think?

Get Over Mentality

Moratorium + The Journey - No BackTalk

Photobucket

I’m a people person. I am. Very much so. I know this. AND…I like this about myself. I do. I really really do.

Howsomever….

Please let the record show:

If you are a person with a “GET OVER” mentality, I’m gonna need you to do the “CeCe Peniston” and “Go…keep on, walk on…keep on walking”.

For real.

Please, PLEASE, PUHLEEZE miss me with ALL of that nonsense.

Once a person has shown themselves to have this type mentality, I try my best to walk wide circles around them. I do. Cause I know me. And yes, I will do the whole “Be-blessed-but-be-gone” thing but catch me at the wrong time and that “Be-blessed-but-be-gone” will most likely come after a long, strong string of bad words and unvarnished truths about your mentality and its irksomeness. Not in an attempt to get you to change – that’s on you and if that mentality works for you, then by all means – do you - but in an attempt to clarify MY boundaries and tolerations. Like I said - do you, just do the do where I’m out of bounds.

Thanking you in advance….

MsJayy

MORATORIUM: Wendy, Omarosa & that Dayum “B”-word

Moratorium - No BackTalk

Photobucket

Ok. You can stop sending me links to the Wendy Williams show. You know - the episode with Omarosa as her guest.

LET.IT.GO.

SERIOUSLY.

I didn’t watch it. I’m not going to. The show doesn’t air in my area and if it did, I wouldn’t watch it. I’m not a fan of either of those ladies. Congrats to them on getting their hustle on and keep pressing. I’m not a fan of controversy for the sake of controversy (or publicity), on any scale. But hey, I’m busy doing me my way …and letting other folk do them their way.

Someone said Omarosa appeared on the show for “publicity”. Wow. Really? Of course she did. That’s the exact same reason she was invited to appear as a guest. I guess what gets me the most about this whole thing (beyond the fact that so many folk either watched the show, watched the clip online, or passed it around to others) is the fact that folks are seriously lining up in support of one of these ladies vs. the other.

* Sweet Jesus part the sky!! *

Why is anyone “surprised” as to how this episode played out? Based on what I’ve seen and/or heard of these two, what took place is their basic, every day MO - it appears to be how they operate. What were people expecting? Hearts and flowers? That they’d pull out their blackberries & plan a “Sistahood Spa Day” on the spot? Puhleeze.

Folks keep talking about how irritated they are that folks act this way and it’s a representation of ALL Black women.

Newsflash: AIN’T NONE OF THAT CRAP REPRESENTATIVE OF ME AS A BLACK WOMAN. Nor does it represent 99.5% of the women I’ve ever known. So don’t come at me with that ‘representation’ line. I’m not trying to hear that shiggidy and I’m not accepting anybody telling me that it is. Ugh! (’Scuse me…my teeth are itching. LOL)

And that whole “B*tch-Switch-Inner-B*itch-create-an-’empowering-acronynm-using-the-word-b*tch” thing? I don’t buy into that either. I think too many of us have fallen victim to that mentality, that whole “let’s flip the script, use the word in positive ways”. Um, no thanks.

I know I blogged about this before (in terms of “These Three Words: B*itch, Ho & the N-word”) but it bears repeating:

If you think I’m a strong woman, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m intimidating, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m aggressive, say that. Using those words.

If you think I’m being overly defensive, say that. Using those words.

See, what might happen if you chose to go against MY grain and use the “B-word” (whether you intend it as a compliment or otherwise)…a B*tch will probably meet you at the end of whatever sentence you’re forming.

Fo’ sho’.

So, um…what have we learned here today Boys & Girls?

1. Stop sending Ms.Jayy links to anything about Wendy Williams, Omarosa, and/or the B-word

2. Ms.Jayy (and millions of other women like her) are NOT represented by these ladies.

3. MsJayy ain’t knocking nobody’s hustle, she’s just clarifying her boundaries. Do you Boo! Full throttle!

4. Calling MsJayy a b*tch is pretty much guaranteed to push her past “teeth-itching” level and that ain’t good.

Keep living,
*~* MsJayy *~*
