Friday Randoms

Hi guys, hope you all are doing okay and had a good week. I almost didn't do randoms this week after all the good feedback and praises for the writer of guest randoms last week. Well too bad so sad for you guys, you are stuck with me and my stale randoms :). I don't know about you guys but I have heard about so many deaths, especially of young people and I'm just..I dunno but it's getting to me a bit. I understand that's how life works but really, I say this a lot - no parent should have to bury a child. Anyways enough dreary talk. So someone in my close circle of friends got engaged over the weekend. This will be the 2nd of my close friends and it's so surreal. Guess we're all growing up! I am so over this cold weather, summer where art thou?. Ok I am done flapping my gums, here we go... I always chuckle at tv shows/movies where someone storms out from a restaurant and throws change on the table. I always wonder if the person left behind gets mad that th...

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello people. The reason for bleeding grocery stores the last few weeks is finally here - Valentine's Day. I think this might be the most hated on "holiday". Most people stay holding pickets and making a big deal about how they can't stand what it's become or why there must be one day to show love yada yada. It's not that serious people, it's just one of the many "holidays". I have spent more years val-less than being val-ed and I have no problem with the holiday. I think love is a beautiful thing. I also think it's something everyone wants ultimately in their life and anyone who says otherwise gets a big fat yimu from me. That word "love". So frequently used. So frequently misused. So many definitions. Some say it's a feeling. Some say it's a decision. Point is, it means different things to different people. No one is wrong or right, it's ultimately whatever works for you and whoever you are loving. I was having a co...

Friday [Guest] Randoms

Hiya people. Hope you all had a great week. I definitely had nothing for you guys this week but a friend of mine sent me these guest randoms in the mail. Hope you guys enjoy and if you ever want to do a guest random, feel free to hit me up and let me know - taynement@gmail.com. Here we go: Despite being a Christian, I can’t stand self-righteous people and I relish messing with them. This week one such person posted a question thread online about whether it was “godly for a MARRIED (emphasis mine) woman to give her husband a blowjob.” After reading a bunch of sanctimonious nonsense as to how it’s sinful etc, I replied “Fuck yeah it’s godly, there’s a reason why we men automatically say ‘Oh God’ when it’s being done!” The many fire and brimstone replies entertained me for days. One of these days, I’m going to give a full reply instead of “fine and you?” when I step into an elevator and some random person asks me “how are you doing.” Just to see if he/she really cares to know. ...

Less Complication

Happy Sunday guys. Giants just won. Boo! Not like I was too invested. I only watch football on super bowl sundays and I like the Patriots cuz of Tom Brady. Ah well, congrats to the Giants. A friend of mine sent this to me, thought one or two of you will find it helpful. Have a blessed week ahead. http://www.marcandangel.com/2012/01/08/28-ways-to-stop-complicating-your-life/

Is it Settling?

I think everyone should have read this blog post by now and if you haven't, please take a second to read through it and then come back to see what I have to say on the topic. I'll wait... ...Are you back? Good. So, I read this blog post and thought about what I had just read. Not long after, a friend messaged it to me and he asked me what I thought about it, and I thought about it some more. I have said before that I totally get why people settle, but in my heart of hearts I don't know that I am one of those that can go through with settling. After reading this, I can't say this girl was wrong or she was right because all it boils down to is that we are all different individuals. Now, to be honest my first thought when I read this was this is crap BUT she *seems* to be at peace with her decision and ultimately I have always thought that that is an important factor when you walk down the aisle, to be at peace with your decision. But, there are other factors to consider. ...

Friday Randoms

Hiya folks, happy friday to ya. Hope everyone had a good week but good or bad it's always great to have the weekend here. It's been a stressful week and half for me and I haven't been sleeping so well so by early evening, I am so wiped out. I was a crabby monster today. oops. I heard of at least 3 deaths this week and I am just wondering if this is what it is to get older, just the constant news of someone dying, it's a bit scary but may the souls of all those who passed rest in peace. Before I start randoms, I did have one bright spot this week and got the best news from a friend. You know who you are, so so happy for ya and love you plenty! Alrighty folks, let's go dia! I watch tv and see white folks fretting over their kid can't go to xyz college because there's no college fund. I am like shuo, student loan no dey? job no dey? You guys know about my hatred for student loans and I understand totally wanting to avoid it but it's an option, people hav...

Loving Yourself - The Demi Moore Interview

Demi Moore on her feelings about her body: I have had a love-hate relationship with my body. When I’m at the greatest odds with my body, it’s usually because I feel my body’s betraying me, whether that’s been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn’t eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn’t get my body to do what I wanted it to do. … Sweet and savory. I think I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body, and that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age to now experiencing my body as extremely thin — thin in a way that I never imagined somebody would be saying to me, “You’re too thin, and you don’t look good.” I find peace when I don’t see my body as my enemy, when I step back and have appreciation and look at all that my body has done for me. It’s allowed me to give birth to three beautiful children, allowed me to explore different roles as an actor, allowed me to be strong. You can’t look at...

The Pre-Nup Issue

So by now, you must be under a rock if you haven't heard how Vanessa and Kobe reached a settlement in their divorce which included $75 million and 3 of their mansions. My dearly beloved twitter had boys and girls alike with their panties in a bunch about this issue. I exaggerate, let me be nice and say they simply aired their views on the matter. There were two sides: those who thought Vanessa was a bloodsucking, greedy bitch who didn't deserve the money and those who thought Kobe was a cheating bastard who deserved to be hit in the pockets. Left to me alone, it's really not that serious. This isn't the first couple to have a divorce in California that involved large sums of money but I have to say I am quite amused by how passionate everyone was getting. Is it brand new news that a spouse is entitle to half the partner's earnings in California after 10 years of marriage? - this is where those that think she is a gold digger will say she waited specifically to hit t...

Come what may

Happy hump day folks. I feel like I should apologize for my recent posts of just songs on here but it's my blog abi? I actually think if i put my mind to it, I could express myself with just songs. I had a mini road trip today and that always equals reconnecting with songs I haven't heard in forever. I might as well tell you there is no rhyme or reason to this post and I have no point at all. Like Monica said, "just one of those days", well except in this case it means so much to say but nothing will be said. I think I'll go get myself a drink (sidebar: it's pretty easy to be an alcoholic sha). There won't be any randoms this week, so have yourself a lovely weekend. I intend to have a good one by God's grace. :) ht tp://tayne-ment.blogspot.com/ I think I know the Moulin Rouge soundtrack word for word from beginning to end. ">
