What..?!?!</title><content type='html'>So I'm thinking of my favorite artist Ms. Jill Scott and decide to Google her in search of new projects. And what did I find? A post from &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;TMZ&lt;/span&gt; stating that Hidden Beach Records is suing their most prized soul singer for breach of contract. Apparently Hidden Beach claims they signed ole girl for 6 Albums and that she has only fulfilled half of her obligations recording only 3 albums since 1999.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I don't know about y'all but I find it hard to believe an independent such as hidden beach to put some extreme faith in a unknown talent (at the time). I guess that was a different time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I am Hoping to see a new video or a leaked song, now it doesn't look like she'll be releasing anything new. At least not until this case clears. I love me some Jill Scott...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SCerHrqWQkQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SCerHrqWQkQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why isn't Hidden Beach taking these kind of chances on the young underrated artist out there now. It seems like if you don't rock a leotard and run from live singing like the plague you cant be signed.

I'll be stuck in the same state of shock that captured my body when I was told that she was gone. I'll never be able to explain. My grandmother was my rock. I knew who she was before I knew myself.

Wracking our brains for answers to questions that once were known. Like the rest of the world we're impatient and need to move fast, so we search outside of ourselves. Hoping to find a quick fix to our state of frustration at life. So we keep searching. We search for the answer to cure it all for so long that we've fallen at that wall. By that time we've started losing our hope, the only shield in life that's truly free. If your smart, you would have remembered that you didn't get to this wall by luck or chance. You will have realized that it was your pursuit of happiness and your God given strength that got you there. And that its those two gifts that will get you through. All you have to do is reflect and gather your fears and trust in what you've known has always been there, but have just forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naive@Heart&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-8128395327817967809?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/8128395327817967809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=8128395327817967809&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/8128395327817967809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/8128395327817967809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-had-it-all-along.html' title='You Had It All Along'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-1792093295517562869</id><published>2009-04-20T22:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-20T22:43:17.643-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Like Hiding From God</title><content type='html'>I've figured out why I haven't been blogging much, and it's not because my computer died. It's because I've been trying to hide from myself. I've always used my blog as a mental mirror that never failed to acknowledge my flaws. I never saw what I wanted to see but rather who I was, who I am. So I kept my thoughts, challenges, and fears to myself. Where even I couldn't pass judgement. Sad, but all too true. It's really like TRYING to hide from GOD... Impossible, but inevitable. I feel like everyone tries to escape their own truths in search of a false reality that strokes their ego and sings their praises. But that place doesn't exist. And I've come to terms with that.

I don't mean some weak ass yelp and a slight tremble from within. I mean the kind or orgasm that has you calling for Jesus and inviting the devil to play at the same time. The kind of orgasm the makes you forget where you are and who your making love too because your mind is so cleared that you've achieved and exceeded the satisfaction of a man busting a big, hard nut. (Is that too graphic? Let me know... better yet, leave my blog.... NOW.) People would always tell me that seeing a man everyday, and laying down with him would get old and boring.  Clearly they have never met Lady "O", because they are sadly mistaken. I'm only writing this because I had a visit with her last night and have decided she's my new BFF. That's all no big story just thought I'd tell y'all about my new best friend and hope that you find your own Lady "O" to befriend, because mine is OFF limits. I'm possessive with my friends...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-9216070527503273342?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/9216070527503273342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=9216070527503273342&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/9216070527503273342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/9216070527503273342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2009/01/lady_03.html' title='My New BFF, Lady &quot;O&quot;....'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-1398797946887227438</id><published>2008-12-25T10:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-25T13:42:28.945-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas!!!!!!</title><content type='html'>This is the first Christmas my boyfriend and I have shared together.

My neck was fucking with me all day. I couldn't look to my left without pain on my face. Then while at work one of my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;baristas&lt;/span&gt; decides she wanted to act a fool ,talking to me like she forgot who was in charge. And to tell you the truth I wish I wasn't cause she would have been fucked up by now. But I can't... Gotta lead by example... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt; That's funny. Then, My deodorant just decided to stopped working at 10am and left me panicking and "improvising"... Work was a bitch on top of that hoe not knowing her place. Everything was out of control and I couldn't seem to get in under control. Then my manager tells me my transfer to a different cafe didn't go through because he kept putting it off. Then my cell phone stopped working all together. Pissing me off further. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;THEN&lt;/span&gt; on my way home from work whining to my boyfriend about my shitty day, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;TWO BIRDS&lt;/span&gt; decided to &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;SHIT ON ME!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my day was &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;HORRIBLE&lt;/span&gt;, but I'm &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt;. My boyfriend made me feel a whole lot better and now I have a smile on my face. Because I know that things could be worst... I could have been trampled to death by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;caffeine&lt;/span&gt; starved customers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-1419383864617360910?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/1419383864617360910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=1419383864617360910&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1419383864617360910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1419383864617360910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/12/worst-fucking-day-ever.html' title='Worst fucking day ever!!!!!!'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-465808116571491385</id><published>2008-11-29T21:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T21:37:05.744-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I've Been Gone For Too Long</title><content type='html'>Where the hell have I been???&lt;br /&gt;I've been gone for a minute, but I'm back.&lt;br /&gt;Check for me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Love,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;em&gt;SBEG&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-465808116571491385?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/465808116571491385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=465808116571491385&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/465808116571491385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/465808116571491385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/11/ive-been-gone-for-too-long.html' title='I&apos;ve Been Gone For Too Long'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-4925465336839299502</id><published>2008-10-10T18:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T18:14:31.992-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Love My Man'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Damn Shame'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='so I gotta write'/><title type='text'>Love Letter To The Almighty "D"</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Dear Mr. Almighty "D",&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;It's been 11 days since I've felt your goodness...

I know I've played my part in denying my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;thrust&lt;/span&gt; for you, but you've been hiding too. You know what you mean to me. You know what we've been through together. All those nights of unbeatable orgasmic experiences and steamy hazes, how could you deny those? How could you pretend like when you and I were &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;intertwined&lt;/span&gt; that we didn't come alive. In between those seconds of breath all I can think about is what you do to me. How all I want is you inside of my being. I can't escape from you. No matter what task is in front of me I'm thinking about loving you the way I've been wanting too. I try to keep my mind on track and stay productive, but I can't. You have to be feeling this too.

I'm not going to put the blame solely on them, but I will say that they have always been the adults and I have always been the child... Now that I am older I have forced a relationship with my mother. Abandoning all the pain and anger she produced during my childhood. I learned that as an adult I may need her. Not as much as before, but I know that I do need her support. Through time she has learned from a few of her mistakes from the past, but will always miss the most important points. And I can live with that, so I just ignore her shortcomings because I know I have mine and try to create a bond based on more than false hopes. But when It comes to my father... He has and forever will be on my shit list. He simply doesn't acknowledge our blood relation and paternal bond that I thought a daughter is supposed to have with her father. When a man mentally abuses and berates a defenseless woman on a daily basis it is unacceptable, but when a man does that to a child it's... You get the point. When I look at my father I don't see a man that raised me, but a man that made my childhood an obstacle I had to overcome, for my sanity. Luckily, I made it through, but these days he and I are estranged. And until he can own up to his undeniable faults and approach me like an adult, then that's all we'll be. It's sad but true. I'm not as naive as I look...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-2026068563027385018?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/2026068563027385018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=2026068563027385018&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2026068563027385018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2026068563027385018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/09/estranged.html' title='Estranged'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-3009561442785773209</id><published>2008-09-25T12:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T18:15:44.035-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='She&apos;s Gotta Have It'/><title type='text'>She's Gotta Have It</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SNvi83y0p6I/AAAAAAAAAOc/NaHLai-eUsc/s1600-h/250x270MYFAVES_G1-bl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250039326027589538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SNvi83y0p6I/AAAAAAAAAOc/NaHLai-eUsc/s400/250x270MYFAVES_G1-bl.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Did &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;y'all&lt;/span&gt; know T-mobile is coming out with a touch screen that I believe is my future IPhone knock off?

If a friend of mine didn't have money to eat or just hang out I'd help them out, no problem. So I figured things worked the same in return, at least with my best friend of nearly 10 years. I've had a surprise in the finance department and asked for a little help until payday which would be 4 days later. She told me it wouldn't be a problem, which I knew it wouldn't since she always has money in savings, because she doesn't have any bills. Now to my surprise it has been over a week since she has called or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;texted&lt;/span&gt; me. This wouldn't be a problem if she didn't usually call or text me everyday or call me every 3 days or so if I didn't call her back. I've called her maybe 3 or 4 during the week and haven't heard anything back... And my question to her is, "&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ARE YOU REALLY THAT LAME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" Now that I have fixed the problem myself, passed the day I told her I needed it by, I'm thinking she's being cut off until further notice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends dropping like flies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

I can admit that I've replaced my Midol for&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I don't give a fuck pills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in the process, so my bitchiness has been a little uncalled for. So far he has been a real trooper throughout this craziness, but today I think his patience ran very short. We had it out today right before I left for work, so I was a little on edge about how he felt about everything. So I called him when I got to work, to see if his mood was a little better. I thought he was ignoring my phone calls, and got a little scared because that's not in his character. But he texted me while I was writing this post so everything is alright.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-5421076090569478515?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/5421076090569478515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=5421076090569478515&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5421076090569478515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5421076090569478515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/09/why-wont-you-pick-phone.html' title='Why won&apos;t you pick up the phone???'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SMsUynaGssI/AAAAAAAAAOE/vrpKcQeleDc/s72-c/phone-789305.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-955508941634205290</id><published>2008-09-10T21:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-21T09:39:38.124-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Damn Shame'/><title type='text'>Gay Homeless Man, WHY?</title><content type='html'>OK!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate working in downtown Seattle!!!

He then went on to tell me that he would have to come back and ask me what they meant, in case he forgot... Then he took the post-its and shoved them in his mouth after asking me if he should eat them so no one could read them. He also talked about fashion and making clothes in some abandoned building.

I always thought it would be too uncomfortable, or that my partners dick was too small to have any real reaction, so why bother? Not until recently have I ventured into this uncharted ground, and &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;HONESTLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; it was bad. I learned two things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;It's easier on the couch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;It's a workout (So a bitch can forget about the gym and stretch before conquering the almighty dick) Lesson learned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;My boyfriend seemed to love it. He's been complaining about me just laying there making noises... As if that isn't hard work. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt; But then I have to remind him that&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;THE EXTRAS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;yall&lt;/span&gt; know what I mean by extras, take a lot of &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;MULTITASKING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; skills that I know he does not posses. That's a woman's game... With the exception of a few elite gay men. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;SMH&lt;/span&gt;... But any who, &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;I just wonder if there are some tips that I must posses in order to last longer than 10 minutes before my legs cramp up?&lt;/span&gt; And If there is a rhythm I should have let a sista know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

When is it ok to intrude and force your views on someone else? I say never, but I've come to realize that everyone doesn't think the same As a growing and forever learning child of this earth I understand that we all have our flaws and we all have our own set of morals. So why pretend as if we all can and should live by the same code? What's good for me isn't guaranteed goodness for Susie or Derrick. My life is unique to me, and my struggles and obstacles are what shape my opinions and values. So every time I hear someone comment on the way someone lives their life, whether it be sexual orientation or religious calling, it rubs me the wrong way.&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; How can someone expect other people to live by the same morals and guidelines you've set &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;FOR YOURSELF&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always been one to accept people for who they are as long as they aren't directly hurting anyone, because then it would be an issue for me. But I have never attempted to right a "wrong" in anyone's life. That's not my call.

That's all fine and dandy, but what happens when you know a season was cut short? How do you bounce back from that when you know that what you felt was right went horribly wrong, way too fast? You pretend that person doesn't exist. You make yourself believe that everything is perfect and that that person was just the extra icing on the cake. You sit back and constantly count the blessing in your life to reassure yourself that everything is alright, but it isn't. You feel like there's a void in your soul that you try to fill with other people. You try to turn someone else into that person that was deleted out of your life, but they always fall short. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I know this sounds super dramatic and crazy poetic... lol But these are my feelings.

First my man and I went to Mama's Kitchen, a Mexican dive up the street from my spot, and ate like heathens. After some hot ass hell salsa, two sprites and a greasy ass tamale we were off to the nearest drugstore to find a way to burn off the cheese balls they call beans. At Rite-Aid we immediately went for the condoms and found the "Pleasure Pack" on sale. Pleasure on a budget... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Smh&lt;/span&gt;... We picked up the Mike's Hard Lemonade and some batteries and headed to the check out. I'm not feeling any shame at this point. I was just excited about the events that were going to take place. Thinking "Orgasms here I cum". Any who the cashier was this old white man that looked at my man like he wanted to say, "You should be ashamed of yourself." that was funny...

I'm still waiting on the other job to call back. That interview went so well that I couldn't imagine them not wanting to hire me... So I thought...

THIS DUMBASS &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;27 YEAR OLD KID&lt;/span&gt; IS &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;THE EPITOME&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;OF BITCHASSNESS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; AND I'M DONE TAKING HIS LAZY- DISRESPECTING- BLAMELESS ASS SHIT ANYMORE. So after he called me a bitch and began cursing me out because I asked his lame ass to actually work and not play his POKEMON DS game, I knocked him upside the head and called my manager. BTW it was about 10:30pm. While I'm talking to my manager (also a member of the Bitch Ass Club) here comes POKEMON KID yelling over me about how he doesn’t give a fuck about this or that. Now I must remind you how things work in this bottomless pit of a hotel; almost everyone here is FILIPINO, which I am not. They stick together like my thick thighs (which I'm reducing at the moment.. hehe) and are all almost related, so this bastard wont be fired anytime soon. I've put up with this shit for a year now and now I'm out this bitch by the end of next month. I put the fear of god into my manager when I told him if POKEMON KID said one more off the wall word to me, I'm not coming back. And his bitchass knows that when I do leave (which is definite) he will be working 16hours days until he finds a qualified replacement (and can't nobody do it like me). lol Any who I'm cuttin' that HOE (DICK) &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;OFF&lt;/span&gt;... in due time. I should sue them bitches when I leave too, for all those hours of not getting any breaks for a year. Yeah I'm doing it. Bye for now... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-5693264918188168061?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/5693264918188168061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=5693264918188168061&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5693264918188168061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5693264918188168061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/08/if-work-was-big-dick-id-cut-that-hoe.html' title='If Work Was A Big Dick...

The air-conditioner in the lobby is broken yet again and I'm burning up like a pig at a luau. Not to mention we have been super busy and it's just my happy ass behind the desk. The fucking vents in the lobby have been broken since last October. Back then we were freezing our asses off, but did that make them shell out the cash to get the shit fixed? Hell no! So here I am hot off my ass and ready to say fuck it all by telling our dumb ass guest what they really are... Damn I can only wish. Better than an orgasm... &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;SMH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This heat got me thinking crazy. Nothing is better than an orgasm.

First there are these dumb ass people that don't understand a bargain when they see it. They come to the hotel thinking that it's the most expensive on the block at 150 a night... In Seattle? The average night runs for $280 - $340. Curse people that refuse to do a little math before stepping in this place to ask me dumb ass questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my man is calling now so I'm gonna neglect my work.

Hindsight is a bitch, and somebody forgot to tell me. Looking back on the past few months I've realized that my actions were inexcusable to say the least. My selfishness has blinded me to the point of denial, and that's where I've been until now. The cycle must end here. I am no longer making excuses and relying on the fact that some people may never understand me, but make the effort to understand the image I may be projecting. Now I understand that the view from the outside is just as relevant as the view from the inside. I can't explain how it all went down, but I will say that I will take my share of responsibility. I lacked empathy and I never put anyone's feelings into consideration. Not even my own boyfriends. I just brushed them off like they didn't matter, and honestly at the time I didn't think they did. I love him, but I felt like he was trying to take something away from me that I dearly cherished out of spite. I read into this situation all wrong and now I have to live with the consequences. Although healing is on the horizon, I'm feeling the damage I've caused and there's nothing I can do about it but learn from it.

I know this is the kind of shock, but the shit hit the fan, and hard. We argued over the idea of having friends of the opposite sex. Naturally, I was for it since I have always had male friends, but my boyfriend found it difficult to think that another man might know as much about me as he does. While he was pleading his case only one word came to mind, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;INSECURE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. And being the person that I am, I refused to cater to his little bruised ego, that's not my style. But after about 45 minutes into this talk-a-thon I realized that maybe everything didn't have to go my way. Maybe I should respect his feelings and move on with him from there. But not without speaking my piece. This issue may not be a reason to end a relationship with great potential but, it isn't reason enough to shut a mouth with great volume. So I had to let him know what I thinking and why. In the end I agreed to end the budding friendship that I thought would last for years. I'm not happy about it, but I guess that was a sacrifice that I had to make for the greater good, our relationship.&lt;br /&gt;I decided to back up from the situation and look at it from as many perspectives as my stressed in love mind could handle. And decided to forgive him. He has a right to feel the way he feels and I'm not in any position to tell him otherwise. Over time we'll develop the trust it will take to withstand the obstacle of having friends of the opposite sex, but that day is not today, so all I can do is wait. He's worth waiting for.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-3950122015918078253?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/3950122015918078253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=3950122015918078253&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/3950122015918078253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/3950122015918078253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-wish-it-was-black-white.html' title='I Wish It Was  Black &amp; White'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-487218560638135885</id><published>2008-08-11T18:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-11T20:41:56.915-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friendly advice for your ass...'/><title type='text'>Friendly Advice For Your Ass....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;If your man tells you to take your ex-boyfriend's number out your phone, do it with a smile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;Truth Behind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; My boyfriend got a little irritated with me when I mistakenly sent a text to my ex telling him that I was thinking about him.

That's as far as I got. I've been MIA from the gym for about 4 days and I'm not really caring. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay that 45 a month and not go. My teenage salary has seen to many hits as it is to go wasting money. I swear the only reason I'm losing weight is to by smaller &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;CHEAPER&lt;/span&gt; clothes.  You know those cheap ass stores like Forever 21 and Papaya that makes every inch of their clothing from the same thread. At least you get what you pay for right??? So this is my punk out is me using mother nature (rain) as an excuse not to go to the gym then aunt Dot to keep me away. Damn I'm just fooling myself.

Things were good after I woke up to hit the gym. Only problem I had was my sister calling me at 1am to talk about some shit she might possibly need from me in the near or far future... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Nuff&lt;/span&gt; said? This chick only calls me when she needs &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;something or &lt;/span&gt; wants somebody to bitch at. And at this point in our relationship she doesn't have any business doing either. Now I love my sister but, we could never be friends. If we were friends on some weird parallel world and we weren't sisters... I would have cut the bitch off years ago but, since she's my sister I love her in a distant cautious way. So anyway I had stopped answering her phone calls weeks ago, after she further fucked up my laptop with her carelessness, but since it's my birthday I figured she'd wish me happy birthday. Wrong  &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;AS ALL HELL &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;assumption, she was her normal self-centered self.  So right now she's on my shit-list and the bitch ain't coming down for a minute, and not the kind you want to hold your breath to. Any who, a side from that it was an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt; day. I'm glad I'm 19 and in debt at the moment but bills will be paid... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt; Being an adult &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;SUCKS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!!!!!

Most of the gyms I've been looking at, in the area, were about $75-$149 a month. And really with my teenage salary and adult bills that's pretty damn steep. So, the new place is gorgeous overlooking the water. Everyone is really laid back and there are only 1,500 members as opposed to the average big company that has maybe 10,000 members to one club. So it's never really crowded. So they say... But it's only a ten minute walk along the water for me so it's really a good look. I have an orientation with a trainer on Tuesday to see where I'm starting and how get to my goal. I really don't want to know how much I weigh but I guess it's just a number, right? So that's what's new in my weight loss journey I'll do a update twice a week. These are a few of the photos of my new gym, cute right?&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SIPyvpfRoiI/AAAAAAAAAHU/OTOZnlDpRYE/s1600-h/sidephoto_treads.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SIPyvpfRoiI/AAAAAAAAAHU/OTOZnlDpRYE/s400/sidephoto_treads.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225286893084713506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-2913391911106613081?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/2913391911106613081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=2913391911106613081&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2913391911106613081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2913391911106613081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/07/found-my-fitness-home.html' title='Found My Fitness Home!!!!!'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SIPyhTsm67I/AAAAAAAAAHM/aCeYAqJRFn4/s72-c/sidephoto_window.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-5817901036394177954</id><published>2008-07-17T14:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T15:35:56.989-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weight Loss Journey'/><title type='text'>Motivation for your ass!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SH-5SwKTq8I/AAAAAAAAAGU/jngyXwdLaJI/s1600-h/grier-pam-photo-pam-grier-6230606.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224097824589982658" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SH-5SwKTq8I/AAAAAAAAAGU/jngyXwdLaJI/s400/grier-pam-photo-pam-grier-6230606.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My inspiration...

I'm the caring, light hearted, and easy-going friend that just lets shit go and doesn't hold on to negativity. So with that said, why am I the friend that always gets put on the back burner? When I try to be a constant supporter and dependable, appreciation goes without sound. They use me then they dismiss me for flakier blameless people that let them down constantly. This isn't about one person at all, but about all the people I've been through in my lifetime. In my 19 years I've been able to hold on to 2 close friends that I can trust will always have my back. Since my family has never been the image of unconditional love I turn to my friends for that sense of security and have always given that same comfort in return. Maybe I'm too much of a giver, or I expect too much from the people I let in, but the outcome is always the same. I'm as forgettable as the girl that takes your coffee order everyday.&lt;br /&gt;But I won't change the person I've become. I love the person I've become. There aren't too many people that can be as genuine and true a friend as I am....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-6762834421460321074?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/6762834421460321074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=6762834421460321074&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/6762834421460321074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/6762834421460321074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/07/wasteful-people.html' title='Wasteful People...'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-3826511185877634657</id><published>2008-07-14T20:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:17:15.370-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Chronicles of Zyelle'/><title type='text'>The Chronicles of Zyelle: The Day I Met Reality</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what it feels like when reality makes it way into your fairytale world.&lt;br /&gt;I never saw it coming, but anticipated it from the first glimpse of happiness I hesitantly embraced. I knew better. This pain I’m feeling, nothing could possibly compare. Nothing could shake me from this state. So I’ve chosen to write about it. To express myself in the only way I know how at this point. I’m not sure how this will grab you, but I only ask that you keep an open mind to my journey. So, here it is, my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll start with some facts about myself first, so you know who your reading about. My full name is Jordyn Zyelle James, but everyone calls me Zyelle. I raised myself in a house full of failure and disappointment under my mother. My mother wasn’t a junkie or alcoholic. She just didn’t care enough about me to teach me about life. So I turned to the person I trusted most for guidance, myself. Sure, I’ve made some mistakes in the past and I’m sure I’m making some as I write this, but that’s life and I’m just living it. I relied on books and society to help form boundaries and a moral code I should be proud of . And I relied on my peers to help me break them. But this journal is about the here and now. The future I’m determined to face head on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 1,2008&lt;br /&gt;Waking up today was hell. I felt like I had been dead for a decade. I just laid in bed trying to remember what happened to me yesterday, trying to match truth with the lies I’m trying to replace it with. Wondering if things are really as bad as I remember them to be. Did I really kill Tracey???&lt;br /&gt;To Be Continued…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leave a comment and tell me what you think&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

So I’ve tried my hardest to stay away from posting anything BET related, but this bitch done lost her bleached dyed mind. When I first saw this mess of a performance I muted the TV after Keyshia decided to do some old school dip it low shit. I was through with this bitch. Now, I know her voice is naturally kind of off key to begin with but this bitch was off the off keys and apparently forgot what a note was. So I give her the “Bitch Please Award” because of the way she was gigging to the song, you would think she was singing like Whitney. I’m thinking she’s smoking crack like her though.

So, bitchassness has been running rapid through the work place and I refuse to play their game. Lately I've been the type to never talk about work once I've left. I have a smile on my face as soon as I hit the door. I vent about work maybe once a month to refresh myself for the next month, but never is it a daily thing. For some reason the majority of my co-workers like to talk shit to the manager about small things people do, when they know they've done things as well. Now, knowing this you would think I would do the same, but I have bigger things on my mind than these fools. So I take it and move the fuck on. Except for today.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've let this build up so bare with me. First there are these two graveyard employees that, BTW are about two hours late to relieve me at least twice a week, complain about the smallest things that they can and will fix. Everything from the morning shift being 20 minutes late to the way I write my 8's. Now when I see something wrong I fix it and let the shit go, but little did I know that this isn't a common philosophy. Then there is day shift bellman that totally crossed the line and has sexually harassed me on several occasions. Now it's my fault for not telling, but this just started last week so I'm just now getting my bearings. This is how it's gone down. So, I was dressing in the employee changing room which doesn't really have a lock if you have a key card. I was reaching for my blouse that was hung up in the closet when the door opens. I yelled that I was changing and tried to cover my chest, which is rather big, with my arms. I had a bra on that of course had cleavage, naturally. I didn't think much of it because It was the same amount of clothing as I would wear to the beach. But crazy of me to think it would be between him and I, because by the time I got downstairs to clock in every one including my managers boss knew about my failed effort to cover all of my chest. But that was the least of it. When I saw him again he said, and I quote " You look good in Lavender" (referring to my bra, which was actually magenta.) Then he went on to say, " I got off for the day". Disgusted and shocked I had to take a second think of how inappropriate in really was. So the next day I set out to speak with him on his behavior, because I am his supervisor. I asked him why he told everyone and his response was " Their just mad because they couldn't see what I saw.". Then he slapped my butt... One word, PISSED!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is this old ass white chick with three bad ass kids that decided it was a good idea to bring her kids to work. Now, had I been there in the beginning of the day I would have set boundaries for those walking energy drinks. They were running in and out of the back office and came up to the front desk to talk to her in front of customers. Can you say TACKY?!?! So, I didn't know who's kids they were when I came in to work, all I knew was that there were little kids running a muck. So I ask her " who's obnoxious kids are these?". And she said "Thanks, they're mine". This bitch had the nerve to catch an attitude with me as if I had a way of knowing they were hers. If I had I would have been a little nicer... Maybe. So anyway she tells my manager that I talk on my cell phone and work phone a lot and miss calls. Granted I do talk on the phone for maybe 15-25 minutes while I still have help because after 6pm theres only me to tend to over 200 guest and incoming calls with no breaks, so if a bitch wants to talk for a minute then let a bitch talk. I never complain when these fools take five 10min smoke breaks in a 3hour span. That's not my thing because I know that I have my ways as well. Somehow these hoes fail to understand the phrase "pot calling the kettle black". Ok I'm done for now... Check back with me next month for the next venting spree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel better now...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-3641579580989668338?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/3641579580989668338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=3641579580989668338&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/3641579580989668338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/3641579580989668338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-hate-my-job.html' title='I HATE MY JOB!!!!!'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-1308879423788943113</id><published>2008-07-08T12:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:25:42.183-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='so I gotta write'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I got Issues'/><title type='text'>Wanted: Fantasy Phone Artist</title><content type='html'>Last night I watched one of my favorite Spike Lee movies, Girl 6, and had an idea to earn a little extra cash… So I went on Craig’s List to look up ‘Fantasy Phone Artist’ openings and found a few. As curious as I am I called this morning to speak with the hiring manager and had an over the phone ‘interview’. Turns out my voice is just what their looking for. I’m thinking they say that to everybody, until they tell me that if I didn’t get any request after the initial set up that I would be released. Who knew it could be so competitive?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SHPGoWDQ3jI/AAAAAAAAAFA/kzsoZBrUKHo/s1600-h/31.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220734789468872242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SHPGoWDQ3jI/AAAAAAAAAFA/kzsoZBrUKHo/s320/31.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The fantasy phone company works very similar to the independent system homegirl in Girl 6 had. Finding that out I couldn’t help but imagine a crazy ass Italian dude at the phone booth down the street yelling in the phone that he was going to fuck me up. My scary ass got spooked and told the lady thanks but no, I’d rather brave against hot grease from the fry stand at the stadium. Which I wouldn’t do either, unless they were paying 20/hr plus benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, I’m not bold enough to be a fantasy phone artist, but I might do some volunteer work for man my when I’m too far from reach…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-1308879423788943113?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/1308879423788943113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=1308879423788943113&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1308879423788943113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1308879423788943113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/07/wanted-fantasy-phone-artist.html' title='Wanted: Fantasy Phone Artist'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SHPGoWDQ3jI/AAAAAAAAAFA/kzsoZBrUKHo/s72-c/31.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-5407494999691945719</id><published>2008-07-03T14:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:20:27.821-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poems'/><title type='text'>Negative Thoughts</title><content type='html'>When nothing turns out right&lt;br /&gt;Time stands still&lt;br /&gt;Forcing you to soak up every failed choice and action&lt;br /&gt;Depending on your status&lt;br /&gt;There might be an audience&lt;br /&gt;Anxiously waiting for your predicted demise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When love turns its back on you&lt;br /&gt;Gravity pulls you closer&lt;br /&gt;Whispering in your ear ever so gently&lt;br /&gt;To crave it&lt;br /&gt;To need it&lt;br /&gt;And its just your luck the heart you’ve selected is open&lt;br /&gt;Just not to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your money is funny&lt;br /&gt;Your sadly depressed&lt;br /&gt;Your world is in shit and the stench keeps you seconds from breath&lt;br /&gt;Professional help is far down your list&lt;br /&gt;The price you’d pay is more than your rent&lt;br /&gt;So you max out your credit&lt;br /&gt;And pretend those bills don’t exist&lt;br /&gt;Living the “American Dream”&lt;br /&gt;It sucks&lt;br /&gt;Life’s a bitch…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-5407494999691945719?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/5407494999691945719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=5407494999691945719&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5407494999691945719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5407494999691945719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/07/negative-thoughts.html' title='Negative Thoughts'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-573248949950239284</id><published>2008-07-03T09:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:20:48.227-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Something for the ears and eyes'/><title type='text'>Little Jackie...

The reality I speak of is my current fascination of the horrid Tragic Tranny. After years of seeing talk shows and docudramas of cross dressing men and women explaining their plight, I’ve been pretty accepting and encouraging to the concept.&lt;br /&gt;Now, I have nothing against men dressing up as women, it’s when they half ass it that bothers me. Seriously, if it’s your passion and you’ve felt the woman inside of you your whole life then take pride in your appearance, because that’s what its all about right. If your everyday fight in life is going against the grain; why would you not be the best you, you can be? I mean I see butch lesbians all the time that fool the hell out of me. Read a fashion magazine or watch some Next Top model for tips, because nothings worse than a tranny with fucked up make up and a Britney Spears weave. If it wasn’t a good look on her, then what makes you think you can pull it off??? That’s like seeing a stud with a push up bra. Really I’m not saying they have to look their best everyday all day, but make the effort. Let me know what your hinting at, don’t look like a cracked out clown and say you’re a woman on the inside out. Where’s Rupaul when you need her/him???? I thought that’s how a cross dresser was supposed to look, fabulous?&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218139808692309474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SGqOglVuDeI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/z5GgNna-5Xc/s320/wendywilliams_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;I know this Wendy Williams and I know she is presumed to be a woman, but I'm not convinced.

I was more than surprised when I saw his number run across my phone. Not that he called me but, that he called me so soon after his dramatic departure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you didn’t read the first Goldie Thoughts you may be a little lost, but let me give you a little recap. The extremist and I were talking about various social issues until we stumbled along the sensitive subject of gay people adopting kids. The conversation came to an abrupt stop after the many insulting remarks towards my intelligence for being so “open” to the parenting style of same sex parents. Needless to say, it didn’t end well, so it was easy for me to let his intolerant ass go. So not only was I surprised he called, but overly annoyed, but being that I’m such a nice person I decided to give him a chance to explain himself. Or give me a chance to tell him off, which ever came first...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was my civil and understanding self until he tried to force his opinions on me once again. I told him that if he couldn’t accept my opinion for what it is, just my opinion, then he would have to lose my number. Silly of me to think that an ultimatum would encourage a man to do the right thing, I know better than that. So, like I predicted, he blew up and in return I hung up on his lame ass. Now I know why men want a woman who lacks a strong mind. It’s too frustrating to mentally mold a woman who knows who she is and what she stands for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MSG TO THE EXTREMIST: Is it really that serious???&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-5837518456429751784?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/5837518456429751784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=5837518456429751784&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5837518456429751784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/5837518456429751784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/goldie-thoughts-part-2.html' title='Goldie Thoughts Part 2'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-1174802210725360954</id><published>2008-06-22T21:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-23T00:59:21.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing Wrong With a Little Head on Sunday...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I'm sure the title speaks volumes by itself, but let me elaborate...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately I've been thinking about double standards of sexuality and how it ma&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SF9XtIdwZGI/AAAAAAAAADg/aBRlW5zFDmU/s1600-h/fashions-400c012406.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214983326396343394" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SF9XtIdwZGI/AAAAAAAAADg/aBRlW5zFDmU/s320/fashions-400c012406.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;y have affected my sexual behavior. Society has tricked women into thinking that sexual freedom is only accessible to men, leaving us confused about where we stand morally if we go beyond those boundaries. Personally, I never believed it affected me until I found myself telling a little white lie to a friend/w benefits about my "experience level". Without thinking I told him that I hadn't done certain things subconsciously hoping he would see me with as innocent. Seriously, who did I think I was fooling? I mean I have a FWB, how virginal is that? Realizing what I had done I knew I had to check myself. It's unhealthy to have a negative stance on my own sexuality. So I had to get over myself and remind myself that only I can decide if I've gone too far or been too "free". And I've decided to be true to myself and not deprive myself from pleasure. So that's what I've done. Hints the title... Because there’s nothing wrong with a little head on Sunday...

I’ve come to the conclusion that the world is made of two types of people; extremists who always seem to find a way to go a mile when only an inch is necessary, and moderates who keep things to the minimal and simple. And neither of them are a fit for me. The ’simple’ man bored me and the extremist annoyed me. I guess I can say that I’m Goldie Thoughts, I’m looking for a man who’s beliefs and thoughts are JUST right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier in the week my extremist decided my views on same-sex parents were so unacceptable that he couldn’t associate with someone like me. Now I’m a strong woman with strong views, but I understand the necessity of accepting opinions that differ from my own. I strongly believe in minding my own business. So to me a subject like this seriously isn’t on my top five reasons the world is ending. All I’ll say on the subject is; as long as the child is safe, loved, nurtured, and healthy it doesn’t matter who raises them or how. Make the most out of life and spread the love, no matter who you are. So with that said I was a little upset by his reaction, but I let it and him go in the same breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MSG To The Extremist: Get it together brotha.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-6631742144312454185?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/6631742144312454185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=6631742144312454185&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/6631742144312454185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/6631742144312454185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/goldie-thoughts.html' title='Goldie Thoughts..?'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-6238828293842429001</id><published>2008-06-20T23:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:23:26.032-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Something for the ears and eyes'/><title type='text'>Jilly From Philly!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qw3Z8Oa7E3Y&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qw3Z8Oa7E3Y&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="410" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok so I know this song has been out since last summer, but I just now found this video for one of my favorite songs.

Earlier in the day, I was running short on time to eat before I had to head over to work, so I dashed out to the taco spot around the corner for a quick bite. In a rush I grabbed what I thought was around 9 or 10 dollars from my wallet, only to find out at the cashier it was only 7 dollars. Normally this would have been fine except my food, which had already been cooked and waiting for me to dig my mouth into, was a little over 8 bucks. While I was searching for change in my coat pocket, a man behind me signaled to the cashier to put my order on his card. Feeling like a fool I thanked him and left. Even at this moment, I'm not sure how I feel, which made me realize that me being on the receiving end of an act of kindness happens few and far in between. The man was a nice looking white man, who I think I may have seen around the way, but have never spoken to. Although this is merely insignificant, it made my day in an odd way. Almost gave me hope for man kind. Until I walked home and saw a homeless man sleeping in front of a high end spa, being ignored by every Paris and Nikki wannabe entering the salon for $80 manicures. The world is truly whacked.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-1207388224548020840?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/1207388224548020840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=1207388224548020840&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1207388224548020840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/1207388224548020840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/everybody-needs-hero-right.html' title='Can I Borrow a dollar...?'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-57373635366858779</id><published>2008-06-14T18:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:24:03.881-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SMS: Stories'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Relationship Drama'/><title type='text'>SMS: A true situation of  perpetual bad endings...</title><content type='html'>This shit is crazy! So I’m chilling in bed and get a ding from my blackberry, MESSAGE!!! It was a text from a woman who claimed to be a friend of my homeboy's girlfriend. Now, being that I have a lot of male friends I’m used to the occasional jealous girlfriend text or call asking who I am and what I am to their ma&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFSLJwLT1iI/AAAAAAAAACU/-2_tYrEBhJ0/s1600-h/2nmmm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211943668441929250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFSLJwLT1iI/AAAAAAAAACU/-2_tYrEBhJ0/s320/2nmmm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;n, but never from a friend of the girl. I'm not some rude hussy so I can indulge their curiosity if they're respectful. And she was, in the beginning. Then the shit turned all the way south. She said some rude shit, and you know when you speak to a fool you become one, so in return I bitched up my delivery. Wrong move for me since I’m not the confrontational type, thank God it was over text! Needless to say it didn't end well so I told my homeboy to control his shit and talk to his girl immediately. A true situation of perpetual bad endings.&lt;br /&gt;Moral of the story, don’t answer a text that you know is going to strip you of your dignity. And ladies, if you see a number in your man’s phone don’t call the woman, especially if he’s sleeping in your bed at night. You should be able to talk to him about anything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-57373635366858779?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/57373635366858779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=57373635366858779&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/57373635366858779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/57373635366858779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/sms-true-situation-of-perpetual-bad.html' title='SMS: A true situation of  perpetual bad endings...'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFSLJwLT1iI/AAAAAAAAACU/-2_tYrEBhJ0/s72-c/2nmmm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-530808054296907945</id><published>2008-06-11T15:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:28:23.669-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='so I gotta write'/><title type='text'>Your on the "Down Low", seriously..????</title><content type='html'>This post is not about gay men open to the world or gay men not so open, but about men who claim heterosexual lives in the light and participate in homosexual activities in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who aren’t familiar:&lt;br /&gt;“Down low” (definition) - men who have sex with other men as well as women and who do not identify as gay or bisexual&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFFYSgNpcDI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5PdTX7d_6vc/s1600-h/dlchronicles_episode.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211043318752440370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFFYSgNpcDI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5PdTX7d_6vc/s320/dlchronicles_episode.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this hasn’t hit home personally for me I cant help but be a little paranoid when I meet someone new. There are so many men around me these days being kicked out of the closet for everyone to gawk at. Men I would have never even thought were cheaters, have been exposed by their wives and girlfriends. It’s scary to believe that I could think I’m in a meaningful relationship only to find out my man is not only cheating on me but cheating on me with a man. As if relationship aren’t hard as it is, we have to add this possible dilemma to the laundry list of things to watch for. Being the worrier that I am I can’t help but wonder what I would do if I found out that the man I was dating was having sex with men on the low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to help me feel like I’m not alone on this I have a couple of questions for you ladies, and gentlemen if you choose to answer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

men with white women, than black couples over the age of 18. Being the person that I am I tend to look at life in a broad view from as many perspectives as possible. So, the first thought that comes to my mind is that people can love whoever, whenever, and however they choose, as long as its love that their after. But that's not always the case. Throughout the years I have asked black men why they prefer women outside of their race, and sad enough I've gotten quite similar and negative respones towards black women. Based off of the feedback I've received over the years it has come to my attention that black men think we are too much to handle mentally. For some reason a large sum of black men in Seattle believe the negative stereotypes forced upon black women and stay clear of us like the plaque. But like all issues there are always two ends of the spectrum. So, I wont shy away from the fact there are also black women who stay clear of black men based on similar stereotypes. What I have to ask is; if black men believe stereotypes about black women is it fair to trust in the stereotypes of black men? Or should we be above the cuff and treat them on an individual basis? Isn't it crazy for black people to believe the stereotypes that where created and promoted by the majority to break us down, then run to them for safety and guidance? Is it self hate?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-577724674763866116?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/577724674763866116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=577724674763866116&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/577724674763866116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/577724674763866116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/interracial-dating-since-when-are.html' title='Interracial dating: Since when are stereotypes important factors in relationships???'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_uaUQ7-S85Ik/SFdq_ih7xJI/AAAAAAAAACc/t9ThhpTZ8C0/s72-c/jungle-fever.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-8603660980847618115</id><published>2008-06-09T22:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:27:52.813-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I got Issues'/><title type='text'>Am I playin myself..?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I've been thinking about the whole personal blogger thing and whether or not I've crossed a line at some point. I've always been a secretive person towards people I'm familiar with, but have always been able to share things with strangers easily. Why? I don't know, but what I do know is that sharing small parts of my life with my blog and it's readers has given me a new outlet to clear my mind. But what I'm unsure about are the lines I may cross by exposing too much or offending too many people by my views. It's good to find that happy medium, but I might need help defining those lines.

I try to avoid conflict verbally with people all the time, unless it’s planned and delayed. I'm one of those people that always have something to say as soon as the person leaves, but can't get it out on the spot. So breaking up, for me, is REALLY hard to do. Over the past week I've been contemplating whether or not to end things with a man that has his share of pros and cons. Thanks to some of you guys I've been able to look at my situation from different perspectives, and make my decision with real peace of mind. So I've decided to break things off with him and be single for a while. I thought about just using him for what he's good at, the goods, but really had a hard time forgetting about his feelings. And I'm not one to be led on so I didn't want to lead him on either; I'm not that kind of girl. But to get to the point of this blog…&lt;br /&gt;It’s not the fact that I broke up with him, but that I broke up with him Britany spears style, through a text. Now I know that’s a little fucked up and I feel bad, but if you knew him and what he could do to a woman’s body then you would do the same. When I see him my knees start to get weak and other things start to activate… lol but I know yall know what I mean. Well, I hope you do… So I guess this is me justifying my actions…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-309851668134640089?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/309851668134640089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=309851668134640089&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/309851668134640089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/309851668134640089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/sms-we-need-to-end-this.html' title='SMS: We need to end this...'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-1885934013264100207</id><published>2008-06-06T21:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:29:44.476-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I got Issues'/><title type='text'>Just A Little Tipsy...</title><content type='html'>When I'm a little inebriated things become a little clearer.

Answering the phone in my slumber I started to say “You ain't getting no ass", but that wasn't the root of his call. For a year now our relationship has been strained, which I take full responsibility for but, I refuse to accept the inevitable. Back when things were fresh and bruises had yet to surface we talked daily, saw each other only days apart, and shared an understanding that only we could comprehend. Now a days I only see him in pictures, talk to him only when our windows of convenience overlap, and I'm confused more than ever about where I stand with him. He's the man I compare every helpless man I meet to. This in return makes it almost impossible for me to be satisfied by anyone else. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He’s the man that got away. He has the brains I love and the Mandingo qualities I need. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;But to get back to the point, he wanted to talk about us and where he wished we could be. I was completely shocked; overly stunned to hear him say the very words I’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; waited to here since I laid eyes on him. Then it hit me… Doubts and regrets of the past came to mind and made me wonder if I was even ready to move forward with him and really love him the way he deserves. Now that I’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; matured since my initial fuck up I’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; come to the realization that I’m not ready for a serious “meaningful” relationship. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I have all kinds of things I need to work out on my own in order to make it to that maturity level. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;So I’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; learned not to be so selfish and put his feeling above my own. &lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;And even though I want to be with him, badly, I will wait until I know I can give him 100%. I just hope he’ll wait…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9067882314977055856-2682953882660266269?l=naiveatbest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/feeds/2682953882660266269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9067882314977055856&amp;postID=2682953882660266269&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2682953882660266269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9067882314977055856/posts/default/2682953882660266269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naiveatbest.blogspot.com/2008/06/hello-one-that-got-away.html' title='Hello..? - The one that got away...'/><author><name>Rana</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOqHVvkCdwY/Tl9CNuC5h2I/AAAAAAAAAho/pfm4zA4lNbs/s220/76588_1341439715515_1816874966_651691_863045_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067882314977055856.post-3042283044774476186</id><published>2008-06-04T09:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:32:29.037-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='so I gotta write'/><title type='text'>I'm nervous yall...

I mean I left the house yesterday with my mind right for real. Told myself to leave the stress behind and focus on my finals coming up and staying enthusiastic about work. I was doing good too. I'm still doing good, but damn if that bitch didn't try to take me off my square. I'm sitting at work writing a post when this bitch called herself blowing up my phone with calls and a text. Curious as I am I wondered what could be so urgent. So I text her back... And do you know what this chick wanted? Something that wouldn't concern her if I was doing it in front of her. I'm not going to say what it was about, but lets just say it wouldn't make or break either of our day. What bothers me the most is when people don't know their place in my life and start stretching their boundaries. Seriously &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;WTF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!!! If I'm not thinking about you...

The fashion was FIERCE!  They looked like they had come right off the runway and into the screen to give us the performance we were waiting for. The performance I was waiting for since the finale almost four years ago. I laughed, cried and really felt for each moment. Whether it was confusion or disappointment. Maybe it's because I'm an emotional person or because I've followed this story since it first debuted on HBO in 98'. Right now I'm truly understanding the the die hard Star Trek fan...

I don't know why I get this itch so early The average person gets this itch after the first 6 months, not the first six weeks. Is there something wrong with me? It's like I have the relationship attention span of a man. I get bored, irritated, and frustrated. I think in the past week I've broken up with him three times. Over the phone... And in a text. as fucked up as I've been I might as well have broken up with him on a post-it! A POST-IT!!!! I would have never thought I'd be this girl. I want to be able to be satisfied in a relationship. I want to be able to be calm and content with a comfortable routine. But right now that's not me. And I'm guessing, to be able to have all those things and feel content I have to do a lot of work on myself. Fix my mind. Make sure I know what I'm doing before I go messing with a another mans spirit, because I know I've taken the spirit and smile from a man.
