Cougarology 101

When it comes to the term cougar I have no problem with being called one, truth is "I love me some young boys" I dont know but its something about the optimisim in their eyes, that tatted sleeve tattoo and his wife beater HAVE MERCY... I dont know if some of my bad habits have rubbed off on my friends or maybe that bug is just going around but I encourage all ladies to treat themselves. Find you a nice, energetic young man to have fun with, its all about the experince. It kills me when I come across a 25yr old female and shes like "yeah I'm a cougar my boo is 21" ummmmmmm honey bunny thats your age range please SAT DOWN (as my cousin Frances would say) not sit down but SAT DOWN lol... To be an official cougar you should be 7 years or more your boo's senior... Alot of women ask why date a young dude what can he possibly offer you, well I say a few things... For those females that have their own and are not ready to fully committ, who arent crying about the baby & the ring, your "YOUNG MAN's" financial situation is the last of your concern.

• Younger men have lots of energy they dont mind stopping at the store before arriving to your place and 9 times out of 10 they wont fall asleep after the do is done and lets just say they do, oh trust they'll be up and ya'll will be at it again before the sun rises.
• Younger men are less experienced and while this can be a positive and a negative, the positive side is that they aren't carrying as much baggage as an older man so the chances of them thinking your going to be just like their Ex who did them wrong are low.
• Younger men are not set in their ways and are eager to learn and experience more, TEACH THEM...

"Pretty, witty, girly, whirly one who likes to party but comes home early, light kinda dark, short sorta tall, slim kinda thick, I swear I love em all... -Jay-Z

Jay-Z's remix to his hit song Girls, Girls, Girls proves just how easy men have it.... Oh the many choices that the fella's have and yet us ladies are sitting here with slim pickings.... I remember hearing comedian Chris Rock say the problem with African American women is that we want Tupac with a degree meaning we'd like to find us a fairly handsome man, with money, who will protect us and that is smart hhhmmmmmm are we really asking for too much "I DONT THINK SO"... Oddly what seems like a demanding request is exactly what men are getting from us, "just what they want"... Growing up in the hood I was always attracted to the "Bad Boy" I carried that with me for years The tats, the court hearings, the drama with other girls and as college was coming to a closure and I began to realize my worth I came to realize that the bad boy with the right dash of corny swag was all I really needed. A man who understood the value of family, the importance of saving, who knew the meaning of spontaneity, a man who wouldn't allow me to run over him who would put his foot down when necessary... As I embark on this journey of finding myself I believe that Mr. Right will cross my path and until then Mr. Right Now will have to do LMAO...

Playing Tag Along

Its kinda cool when your younger sister has an amazing job with amazing perks and you get to meet amazing people... Tuesday night Shyah took me to SOBs for the Fab concert of his latest mixtape "THE SOUL TAPE", Fab performed every song from start to finish and he brought along each artist that appeared on every song, from Red Cafe to Llyod Banks to Trey Songs. Lets just say I left debating who should I dream about that night FAB OR TREY, well who am I to choose so I decided to bring both of them along :) ...

 NICE!!!

Sept. 8th, 2011
12:57am

Its been pretty much the same every night this week! I get in bed, pull the covers over my head and I just lay here! I read everyones bbm status, then I go on twitter to see what I've missed for the day, Go To User @ Each Cool Kid on The Block, Laugh it up, RT some old ish and then I just lay here again! Waiting for the same thing to come to mind "Where Has The Time Gone" "What's My Five Year Plan" "What's Next For Me"... I've never been so confused in my life... After College I had it all planned out, teach for a year, save a few dollars, move to LA, become a star. Yup just how I planned it but that DREAM some how got derailed say around the "Young Chris" Era... Chris was my guy at the time nope he wasn't at the Top of the Charts but he was doing well for himself one of the most genuine people I ever met, we had fun together and to my parents maybe it was too much fun a flight to ATL on Friday, in MIA by Monday back to LA for acting class on Thursday. No Job, No Children, just me & my girls him & his boys oh and of course the wind... It came to a point where booking my next flight became my focus it wasn't about Chris anymore, it wasn't about Brooklyn, Forget acting class who needs classes, it wasn't even about me I was just moving... Time slowed me down, money started to slow up, friends just weren't who they portrayed themselves to be and like Jay-Z said "From Brooklyn to Hollywood and Back again..." Brooklyn raised me so I wasn't ever afraid to come back home but when I planted my feet and Jasmine was entering grad school, Kenya was finishing grad school, Samantha was getting promoted, Shyah was working for Kimora, my team had grown and I just didn't feel there was a place for me... All of the ppl who came to visit me in LA and was comfortable with just living the fast life for a weekend were emerging Queeda had a little girl and Aocean had a little boy, my college roommate was married... I looked at myself and said "WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE"... I'll admit I've done some things and been some places, I can tell some stories that some people will never have the pleasure of telling... Like the time I appeared on television, or the mere fact that I obtain my degree, heck I got up and move across the country, some haven't even dined at a 5 star Restaurant, what about the time we flew from NY to Cleveland for one night went shopping, attended Lebrons bday party and left the following day, I shared a room with President Obama & his family, I stood in front of Bukingham Palace and the list goes on... But I must ask myself whats next, when the one who was suppose to be your college sweetheart tells you he's planning to marry that very girl that lived across campus that he cheated on you with, or when the young boy who snuck his way into your heart, doesn't have the same look in his eyes after two years, when the older fellas are just too boring and the young ones are just too dumb... You have to ask yourself whats next... I have friends like Sheena who tell me "I'm Living Through You" and the only thought that's going through my head is HOW AM I LIVING... Now here I am approaching my 30th birthday trying to raise a 16yr old and when my friends ask me WHY all I can say is when I was 16 someone believed in me, someone pushed me, someone allowed me to dream & she deserves that same opportunity. I am a risk taker to the fullest if I like I will eventually love it, I go into things whole heartily so my five year plan lets just say I'm going to have to cut some loose ends but the DREAM CHASING will never end...

Lets Keep It Funky

With just 3 days left till my birthday I can honestly say that there is no way I am going to complete this list, not unless my girls are going to surprise me with a ticket to Miami tomorrow so I can go skinny dipping and lay topless on a beach (I mean its legal there, not here)... And lets not forget Mr. Wray who is fronting on me pushing his luxury wheels around a block or three, and ya'll know I have a hard enough time getting one dude to take me out now I have to line up 7 dudes in a row... How about this, we'll make this the 30 before 30.5 list that way I can continue blogging and giving ya'll something to do when your suppose to be working... DEAL, Glad we can agree on something...

Sunglasses & Advil...

YUP... LAST NIGHT WAS MAD REAL... When I got the invite to Becca's bday celebration I had totally forgot that I committed to hanging out with my girlfriend Latisha on the same night (yup double booked) but that small problem was made simple when I realized that they both invited me to the same location... With nothing to wear and advice from my 14 year old sister to wear a cute bow and add buttons to my blazer I was all set... Samantha picked me up and we hit the newly opened Sheraton Hotel on Duffield street in Brooklyn. Arriving at room 710 Sam & I had no idea what awaited us on the other side of the door... The birthday girl answered and she was not only one year older but she was now ENGAGED, WHAT???? YUP ENGAGED... I'll let these photos tell the rest of the story....

The Birthday Girl.... You see that ring... I know you do!!!

I love what iphones do! PRE GAMING
