"The Game" the TV Show. Could It Be A Bust?

Could the show, "The Game" be dying out ALREADY?

Possibly so. The first two shows were great! I must say that when BET picked up the show, the very first show, which was an hour long, was an outstanding one! I wasn't even expecting it to be all that great! It almost had me on the edge of my seat, and it gave me so much anticipation for the next show. The second show was ok as well, and it still had me anticipating the next one. The one that was watched last night had me feeling....well...."blehhhh". I could have done without that one.

I have always liked Tasha Mack! Her character is funny and reminds me so much of myself in too many ways! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Melani (Med School) is pregnant, so how long are they going to try to drag that out? Derwin is still.....well....Derwin. Malik!!!!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON WITH THIS CHARACTER??? Are they going to come out the box and say that he is on drugs or something? They way overdid his character this go round. He is very cocky and ignorant. Malik is my very favorite. It may have something to do with me wanting to tie him up and keep him in my basement of love, I'm not sure, but the way he is acting is really putting a bad taste in my mouth. The part with the police officer last night was just dumb or something. That's the only word I can come up with right now.

I understand that they have to really try hard to keep the show on because they were canceled the first time, but come on! In my eyes, it may be just a little too hard. I mean, in just one show, Melanie gave Derwin's baby a swab test to make sure that the baby did in fact belong to Derwin, (and you sistas can stop lying to yourself now. You know if you had those means to do so, you would have done the exact same thing. I know I'm not the only one!) but in the same show, the baby was his, then it wasn't his, now, on the show they had last night, they didn't bring up anything about it.

I never cared too much for the blonde headed girl, what's her name? Anyway, yeah, she can just leave now. I never did like her, and her ex Jason, I didn't really care about him either. I just feel like they needed another couple so they were the chosen ones to fill that spot.

I felt like something was missing last night. Well, I actually felt that a whole lot was missing. Too much stuff is going too fast, or not going at all.
I honestly feel like last night was a sign that it's not going to really last that long....again. I was shocked to see a lot a statuses on Facebook that proved that I wasn't the only one feeling this way. If the next two shows suck, then we will need an intervention!

Oh yeah, the blonde gal's name is Kelly. Whatever.

The End Of The World This and That.....YADDA YADDA YADDA!

Ok, dead birds are falling dead out of the sky in Arkansas and Louisiana....must mean the end of the world is near! Ugh!

My washer stopped working....must mean the end of the world is near! Ugh!


Every single thing that happens is NOT pointed directly straight to the end of the world! I really see why it is very important to control your own mind and thought process; it's extremely important to monitor what your children are watching on television and seeing on the internet. Well, I guess it is hard for adults to monitor this when they, themselves will believe anything.

Nobody knows when the end of the world is. There is no calendar, phone call, website, or human that can tell you an exact date. The only One that can guarantee this, is the Creator of this place. Leave that up to the Creator.

If the world ends tomorrow, there is nothing that we can do or say to either stop it or prepare for it. I even read an article where a man quit his job and only had enough savings to last him through to December 21, 2012, because this is supposedly the day when it will all be over.

Face it; there are some nut jobs out there, and they have a lot of intelligence. They know how to break down and rebuild computers, and some of them have the knowledge it takes to be a genius. Most of this stuff that people read or hear is definitely to control the minds of other humans. With this being said, it's obvious that it is easy to overtake and control someone else's mind; people do it every day.
It really takes a lot for me to believe something, especially something as extreme as "2012 is the end of the world!" I will have to see it to believe it. Instead of thinking that date is the end of the world, we should focus on trying to even make it that far.

The world is so full of craziness. There are way more important things to be concerned with. Let's deal with homelessness, foster children, and world hunger. Maybe if we put the time and effort that we use to believe everything we see, hear, and read on stuff like that, perhaps this WOULD be a way better world.

Control your OWN minds people.

Parenting 101 From A Non-Parent

I'm sitting in my office watching this 11 year old young boy come back and forth to my coworker for help with the computer in our business center. He is alone; no parent or guardian in site. I see it all the time during school; children come into the business center to attempt to do homework, and get on social sites such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc. with no help. As soon as they have problems with homework or whatever they are doing, they come in to us as we work and ask us to help them with their work.

This is really sad. It's a small reminder that children are not being raised properly at all these days. I remember when I was younger; there was no way in the world my mom would have sent me into a place of business to get on a public computer alone without her at least sitting in the car and waiting for me. I'm at work, so there should be no reason for me to continuously have to help other adults' children with their school assignments.

Children are running rampant and losing their minds, cursing, fighting, joining gangs, and not attempting to set or reach any goals, but parents are sitting back watching it happen with a dumb look on their faces.
Some parents have even been heard saying, "I have washed my hands with Jr." but are they really washing their hands of their children, or did they wash their hands from the parenting obligations a long time ago?

One girl came in the office one time with her four year old daughter, and this child was EVERYWHERE! She was taking things off of my desk, and running all over the place. An older lady asked the young mother why she wouldn't spank the little girl to make her act right, and she said, "Oh I just couldn't do that. It would break my heart to spank her." I guess she is basically saying that she won't mind when the little girl grows up and starts spanking her, because that's definitely where she is headed. I instantly felt sorry for the daycare workers that will have to handle her.

Laziness has crept up on a lot of parents, there are too many parents that have no business being parents, and some parents that can't even spell "parent".
This is really becoming a sad, and also scary thing, because this is the future that we are talking about. Like Bernie Mac said, "Ain't no more Big Mama's" Big Mama was that old black woman with the cigarette hanging out of her mouth and the wig tilted to the side that kept a big fat switch in her purse "just in case." Big Mama could look at you and make you sit down and stop doing wrong without her having to speak a word.

I know my nerves are bad, plus, although I absolutely love small kids, I don't want any of my own. I will accept them into my life if I happen to date or marry someone that has them, but for me to have some? Nada!

I miss those Big Mamas.

The Dating Scene Is So BLAH!!

Oh my goodness! What in the world happened to men that opened doors for women, and took women to nice restaurants to eat dinner? Where are the men that take it upon themselves to put on a suit and tie, fresh hair cut and smelling good, show up for the date with a rose, or roses and a smile? Where are the men that like to cater to the woman and make her feel special?

SOMEONE TOLD ME ONCE THAT I SHOULDN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT I SEE ON TV, BECAUSE THE MEN THAT TREAT THOSE WOMEN RIGHT ON TV ARE ACTORS. SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT I SHOULD BECOME A DAMN ACTRESS TO GET THE SAME TREATMENT THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING ANYWAY!!!?????


Going to Chilis, TGI Fridays, McDonald's, etc. is not the way to go when you are really trying to impress a lady. A lot of men will probably say that there aren't a lot of women out here that deserve or appreciate it, but when is the last time that they have even tried it? When is the last time that a man has shown up at a woman's door with roses, candy, and a card, and took her out to a 5 star restaurant and had a decent conversation with her, then afterward, take her to HIS place, take her shoes off for her, rub her feet and make her feel magnificent? It just doesn't happen like that these days.

Truth be told, there are a lot of women out there that wouldn't appreciate it; I have to admit that, but that's when common sense should come into play. You don't give that kind of treatment to women that don't deserve or appreciate it; you put in the time and effort to seek the woman that DOES appreciate it. There are a lot of women that are fed up with bull*****, because that's all we know. Yes, I said, "We" which includes me. When a woman seems to be full of attitude, and unappreciative, if you respect, and want that woman enough, you do all you can to dig deep and find out why she is like that, and attempt to change things around. Most men say that women bring a lot of baggage with them into new relationships; that is DEFINITELY because that is what we are used to, and we just sit up and say, "Ok, when is this fool going to show his true colors?" Men really don't try to do things differently anymore. They are so defensive when women have attitudes. ALL WE WANT IS TO BE IMPRESSED, LOVED, AND NURTURED.

It's not such a bad thing when a woman seems to be full of baggage, because if she doesn't take it upon herself to tell you about her past, her actions and attitudes will let you know anyway. If you give it your all to dig deep and show her that you really love her and that you are different, if it doesn't work, then push on; you tried.

Trust me, if men would be the "Take Charge" type of men that we want and desire so badly, things would be so different in relationships. It just seems that men are not willing to really put forth that much effort anymore for women. The older I get, the more I realize that REAL men, like the ones that show up in suits and ties to really impress women, are extinct. Someone told me once that I have to date an OLDER guy to get that kind of treatment. No, I'm not attracted to OLDER men like that. Sorry. There has to be an attraction, because it's not all about the way the man treats me. Yes, that's lot of it, but a man has to try to bring the total package.

Listen, if more men would take charge, be real men, and do everything in their power to make women feel like women, men will then find that a lot of women are not the dramatic creatures that walk around carrying baggage and attitudes. There are too many women out here, including me, that are not used to be catered to, but we are used to men wanting to be catered to, and THAT'S what we are tired of. If we cater to you, appreciate it and return the love. Don't sit around thinking that it's the way it's SUPPOSED to be. Women want to feel protected, provided for, and loved. We want to know that men want to impress us. I'm telling you; if more men would show up and show out, do things out of the norm, and at least attempt to go above and beyond, more women would be happy. There would be more successful relationships, and more women walking around with smiles on their faces.

Men can control the way a lot of women are today. Since a lot of men want to be called "MEN", here's something that they seem to forget that comes with it: being called a MAN has to be deserved. Since men want to be called MEN, they should start recognizing that women are precious jewels that should be protected just like the jewels in a jewelry store. We have men that work as security at jewelry stores in which they have to protect what people buy, but they don't go home and do the same for their women.

Well, I want to see more 5 star restaurants, more suits and ties, and more attempts at impressing me. I'm tired of being the only one that dresses up, puts on makeup and brings my A game every time I go out. I want to feel protected, nurtured, appreciated, and cared for in dating and relationships. If this is too much to ask, and I have to end up being alone for the rest of my life, oh well. Count me in.

Fear and Traveling Don't Mix

California!!! *sighhhhh* I hear you calling my name. There is a whole big ol' world out there that I have no clue what it looks like. I like to sit and look at pictures and videos from different areas in California, (mostly Malibu and Hollywood) and I just have a weird feeling that it's where I'm supposed to be. The area that I live in now doesn't provide with enough motivation. Not that I don't know that I should motivate myself, but it's just pretty much dead here. I live in North Mississippi. I'm basically in an area that is perfect for people that are retired. It's really laid back and kind of quiet. I know that I have been in this area for too long, because I recently visited New Orleans and I felt a huge sense of anxiety with the brighter lights, traffic and activities. On the way down Interstate 55, we got into the New Orleans area and started seeing water everywhere! Well of course I started getting nervous, because I freak out around large bodies of water. I kept a migraine headache the whole time I was there from anxiety, and the excitement got to be so much that I couldn't wait to get back home.



I have promised myself that in 2011 I will begin to do things even if fear arises. I have to stop living my life because of fear, anxiety and stress. I want to get out there and experience things, people and places, and taste new foods etc. Fear has kept me down long enough. Places that I want to go include Hollywood, California, the Hitsville Building where a lot of Motown music was made and recorded
and Malibu, California. The only things stopping me is me, my fear, and anxiety. I have let them take me over for too long. So much of my life has passed me by. I am now 33 years old, and I can't do too much because of fear. Well, I'm on a mission to change all of this! I have to get back into my picture taking habits too. I think I should start a portfolio of my travels so I can keep up with my success at getting over fear.

BLACK BROTHA

Black Brother, I need you to stand! I need you to recognize your power, show off your strength, I need you to take my hand.

Black Brotha, what happened to the days when you carried me and your children on your back, through the hills and sands, through the deserts and storms, through the mountains and wars?
Black Brother, now you call me and my sisters sluts, bitches, shawties, lil mamas and whores.

Black Brotha, what happened to the days when I was your more sought out treasure? Now you look at me like a piece of meat….as if I’m only there for your sexual pleasure.

Black Brotha you walk around here with your pants hanging down, gold on your teeth, and you look at me and say, “To hell with an education!”

But that possible education can educate you that you are the one that built this nation.

Black Brotha, what is it, my strong Black Brotha? If I don’t have big breasts, a big butt, long weave and thick thighs, my beautiful black skin is not enough to get your attention?

Black Brotha, when you speak of the ones that are always there for you…..when it comes to your black sistas? ….. not even a mention.

Black Brotha, you are running out on the ones that need you the most: Your children, you wives, you sisters, your mothers.
The black woman is the one that loves and cherishes the ground you walk on…..not the others.

Black Brotha, what happened to the time when you made me feel like a precious jewel, a valued stone, a pot of gold, your most cherished possession?
I don’t know what happened, but lend me your ear. Let me teach you this lesson.

I am not your whore, your slutt, your bitch or your shawty. I am your queen, your Sheba, your diamond, I’m flawless.

Black Brotha, I’m not your lil mama, your ma, your boo, or your baby mama.
Black Brotha, I’m the mother of this earth, the mother of all, your supporter, and the mother of your intelligent African American Children, without the drama.

Black Brotha, I go through these struggle with you, therefore I’m to be cherished, admired, loved, and protected.
When it comes to you and I, my brotha, that bond should never be affected.

Black Brotha, you see, I’m still here for you, because this is a part of the battles, the wars, and the thick and thin.
Black Brotha, I will still admire you as the strong and mighty being that you are, although you love one who doesn’t have my skin.

Black Brotha, You have turned your back on me, my brotha, but that’s ok. I take that as you being blind, a little unconcerned, belligerent, what more can I say?

Black Brotha, don’t think for a minute, my Brotha, that I will ever be happy that you love another….. one that doesn’t have my skin.
When it comes to the one that suffered through history…..that’s me. That’s something that “she” will never win.

Black Brotha, when I raise my fist in happiness, lift my voice, and scream “MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, LOUD, PROUD AND STRONG!”
You look at me as if I have done something wrong.

Black Brotha, wake up! I need you! I feel you slipping away from my grasp.
Our African American children need you. Their slipping through society without a man’s discipline is not going to last.


Black Brotha, Black Brotha. I need you to stand! I need you to recognize your power, show off your strength, I need you to take my hand.

Spoken Word "AS I WALK BY" Written and recorded by Tameka TheHurricane ...

Excuse me brother, but can you step aside as I walk by? Please give me room, because these hips will knock you down as they swing from side to side.

As I walk by, try not to become mesmerized by the scent of my body’s natural smell, because it is ever so sweet. Try not to let your mind wonder, and wonder and wonder, at the sweet little things that you want to say to me.

Try not to get turned on by the swing of my hips, or the sound of my stilettos, as they click clatter on the ground. As I walk by, try to get a good look at me, because not too many like me come around.

As I walk by, don’t get too fascinated by the swing of my hair, or the twinkle in my eye. Don’t get too excited by the glistening of my lips, my brother, as I walk by.

My brother, don’t get intimidated by my attitude, and confidence that I have about my self. I carry confidence as if I have that Donald Trump kind of wealth.

As I walk by, my brother, don’t forget to smile. There is something gentle, kind, and warm in a man’s smile that we like to see every once in a while.

As I walk by, my brother, please realize that I am a woman on a mission. You just might notice that I am the woman that your life is missing.

As I walk by, my brother, try not to be stunned by the flawlessness of my skin, and the twinkle of the diamonds in my ears. Realize, my brother, I’m a strong woman, and it shows, even through my tears.

Realize, my brother, as I walk, the strength of my legs as they carry my stature, which seem to be effortlessly. Realize my brother, as I walk by, my space should be given to me.

-Miss Tameka R. Frost

THE BOSS IS IN A BAD MOOD.....RUNNNNN! *Not*

So she was off yesterday, and everything was peaceful. The coworker got a chance to take a two hour lunch, and I left two hours early for the evening. We come in today, and another coworker gives me the warning when I get out of the car, "She has an attitude today." I give my usual roll eyes, flip hair and go on in the office. Big deal! I walk over to my desk and there is a note that reads, "Tameka, I need all of your guest cards! Per our last meeting, you are to put all guest cards and rentals on my desk!" Again, I give my eye roll, flip hair
balled up the paper loudly, and walked into her office and said, "This is the only guest card that I have. To my understanding, I thought you wanted everything when you were here, not while you were gone. She said, "I was clear. I want it when you get it." You probably guessed the look I gave her....

This little skinny blonde broad is really tripping. She makes me really sick of her little funky attitude whenever it's obvious that she didn't get any "love" from her husband the night before. I have had a few run ins with this heffa before, and I had to straight up let her know, that I am not the daughter that she raises at home. I'm a grown woman just as she is and she will treat me as such.

There are too many people out here that have been granted their position out of luck. They get these high positions and try to look down on the people they employ. Don't get me wrong; there are some "bosses" out there that are angels, but this one right here was bred strickly from Satan! She really doesn't have any true feelings for other people although she tries hard to make it seem as if she does. Sometimes I come in here and I just want to walk out to never look back.

I'm still learning, but I know that I should never allow someone else's mood or actions to effect me. It has taken some hard work and discipline to get this way. I just stay out of her way, and she stays out of mine. Other coworkers try to run in and be her friend when she is on a warpath, but I know myself
I should just stay back, because I am known to say what I feel. I haven't always been this way, but situations like this made me how I am now.
