Dear Ratchet Chic & Friend,
Let me just say that you and your "Yes girl" are reason number 5,555,555,555 as to why I hate riding the metro; but, I digress. Why oh why did you decide to post up by me and then proceed to talk loudly inviting everyone to hear your conversation!?
Ma'am I don't give two craps about what someone did to you at work or how much you do and how little others do. It's called LIFE, and this may come as a shock to you but, IT'S NOT FAIR!
So, cry a river, build a bridge and get over it! And please get your ears checked because there is no reason for you to be talking that loud. Your flunky is standing right next to you and she's the only one that cares to hear what you got to say though I can't imagine why?! Oh and by the way have you ever heard of personal space? Guess not because you've totally invaded mine. Sigh...
Get it together!
Sincerely,
Tam (the always annoyed metro rider)

Privacy Please?!
What up...its been a long time. I've been blogging over at my Mommy Blog. Check it out!
So I was minding my own business this morning when I came across an email from my LS (*waving to HE Fall 03*) and I was really taken a back to what I read! Basically she informed me that someone has loc envy with slightly stalker-ish tendencies.
I clicked on the link to find this woman who showered me with nothing but compliments about my locs. She had obtained an engagement photo of me and my hubby from a newspaper article. We were featured in the Express BIO in 2010. Anyway, I was very flattered and yes I'm not going to lie the ego did boost about 10 points, but what disturbed me was the fact that she saw some of my wedding photos!
YES I posted some photos on FB but I make sure that only friends can see photos and NO ONE sees tagged photos of me. So first its weird that she went out of her way to search for me on FB and then found a loop hole to see my wedding pictures.
So this got me the thinking....can you really truly have privacy in the world we live in? Will you be subject to sharing the most intimate moments of you life? Not cool!
Effective immediately I will be taking down any pictures I have up of my lil guy. Also, I will be double checking my privacy settings on FB and I may even *gasp* leave all together. I'm sorry, its one thing to put things out there for people to see but its another when total strangers have access to your life.
I feel violated! :(

Out with the Old and Into the New
Hey folks! So I hate to be a Debbie Downer or Negative Nelly today in my blog post but I need to vent. Feel free to click the 'x' and move on...trust me I won't be offended.
So I'm starting to realize some relationships that I held in a high regard are crumbling from the foundation. When this happens it really makes you wonder what was it built on in the first place and why you invested so much time and energy into the relationship. I mean it could be my emotionally charged pregnancy hormones, but I feel some type of way! GRRR!
I mean for real for real, I feel as though a lot of my relationships are not reciprocal. There's no give and take on both ends. I find that I'm the one giving and these "friends" are just taking. Well you know what in 2011, I just can't do it no more! I'm truly starting to see things differently and for most folks in my life its not a good look. Some have already been cut off and believe me more cuts are on the way.
Okay moving on...I still hate my job! Ugh! Though I have some hopeful prospects on the horizon so I'm hoping that in the next couple of weeks I'll hear those magically two words YOU'RE HIRED! I definitely need a change because I'm going crazy here!
Okay moving on again....as I go further into my pregnancy journey I'm starting to realize that things that seemed so important prior to preggo-ness are just not anymore. I won't give specific examples, but let's just say I plan on lightening my load very soon. I'm about to take on a huge responsibility and probably the most important one I'll ever have...raising a child. So sorry stuff I used to think was important. You'll be taking a back seat to my little one. HE needs me way more than you do.
Okay I'm done being Suzy Sourpuss....at least for now! :)
Til next time bloggers!

My Journey Ended
So back in August (yes I dumb late) I cut all my locks out. *Waiting for initial shock to be over....* Great! Of course most folks' first question was "why?" I'm sorry am I not allowed to cut my own hair?! LOL...yes I must admit the constant stream of "why's" started to annoy me (yes I'm easily annoyed...sue me!) But after a while I realized that maybe folks wanted to see if there was more to the story...was I going through something, etc.
Well honestly, I just wanted a change. I've been natural for 5 almost 6 years and lock'd for 4 almost 5 years. I colored, layered and even cut my locks shorter and I just wasn't satisfied. I guess I wanted a new me to go along with my new married life.
Of course now I look back at photos and wonder to myself...what was I thinking!?! I stare in the mirror each day thinking to myself, what in the world am I going to do with my bushy, dry hair?! Now, I'm not gonna lie, I have considered going back to the creamy crack (i.e, relaxer) *Pausing again for the shock....* and we're back.
See the only reason I locked my hair in the first place was because 6 years ago there weren't a lot of places you could go and get your hair done unless you wanted to slap a relaxer in it. So I figured if I wanted to stay natural that locks was the best decision. Now, in 2010 there are so many natural salons that I have a hard time choosing where I should go! LOL. The problem now is, well....its a recession and I'm cheap! I can't afford to spend (nor do I want to) money every two weeks to get my hair straightened or done. I just can't and won't.
So, I feel like I'm just stuck! In the next couple of days I plan to get braids, but this is just a temporary solution to the problem. I guess I could always go back to having Sisterlocks, you know start the whole journey again. But that is a huge up front cost, not to mention I just don't want to do my own hair anymore....been there done that and I'm over it.
Now, I know what you must be thinking...put up or shut up! I know, but again, the question remains to be natural or to be relaxed? Will I be a traitor to my natural brothers and sisters if I go back to the creamy crack?!?
*Sigh*....stay tuned :)

Can't Save the Unsaveable
Morn-ting everyone! So this blog is a follow-up if you will to my last one. So my last blog had a big message, a message that apparently a lot of folks needed to hear. I got a lot of feedback on it...thanks for reading! And more importantly, thanks for receiving the message.
Unfortunately, when I birthed my last blog, the inspiration behind it was only a single person. It is not surprising however, that this person is probably not even reading, and even if they did read, they probably wouldn't receive the message.
So in the spirit of closure I will say this, to me, being a true friend to someone is pointing out that they don't have a parachute when they are about to jump off a cliff. However, after laboring about my feelings on this particular friend's choices, I've decided that sometimes you just have to let the person jump parachute-less and all. It pains me to do this because it goes against what I typically would do, but I've come to a point where I feel like I've done all I can....maybe too much! I say that because I feel this person keeps me at a distance, I guess maybe they realize that what I'm saying is true, but they just refuse to face it...stubborn ass!
If you are content in wondering the forest of life without a flashlight, be my guest. Personally, I wish I had more friends like me. Because if you can't save yourself, then I certainly can't save you.
Oh well, such is life. Sad that folks gotta learn the hard way. I pray that they do indeed eventually learn because only fools make the same mistakes over and over and over again and expect a different and better outcome.
Signed,
A FORMER Fool

The Story of a Passive Cyber Bully
Well not really one story, but more like VivalaDiva's annoyance at people who a passively trying to talk about you all on FB, Gchat, Twitter, MySpace (do people still use that?), etc.
IT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS!!!!
Like seriously folks can we all just live by the golden rule: if you don't have something nice to say, say it to their face!
I don't understand it. I've always been about being REAL, so I truly don't understand the "smile-in-your-face BUT talk-about-you-on-a-social media outlet" There you are perusing FB status, playing games, g-chatting it up, ya know not doing any work what-so-ever. And you happen across that friend or frien-enemy and they going on you in their status...WTF? Can't stand it! Like let's be grown-ups (since we always claim to be so grown) and tell the person straight-up how you feel.
Truth be told, if you straight up with a person that's weight off of your shoulders. Now if said person who you were straight up with goes and talks about you on one of their many statuses ...that's their hang-up. Leave the situation alone. You've done your part, you were honest!
Think how much better the world would be if we would all grow up, be honest and straight forward with one another! *Sigh*
Hey, sometimes the truth hurts! *Shrugs*
