So I may have just found my next big project. Opening up a lounge club for adults. I am tired of the clubs, the bars, and not knowing where to go when I just want to chill and hang out. Last night I wanted to go out, but there was no where to go. I don't do Starbucks because it costs too much money, and it's far, and the food is not always what you want it to be, let's just say, Halifax is lacking variety in entertainment. Not everyone wants the club experience, or the let's get smashed night, some just want to enjoy an evening of great music, great poetry, a good conversation, the company of good people, without it always having to be an event. Why wait till a birthday party? Or a wedding to see some old friends? It's hard hanging out with people to watch a movie or eat dinner because it's either always loud, or you have to be quiet.
I want to change that! Send me your ideas, thoughts, and let's make this happen!!!!

Why We Do What We Do
Why do we do what we do?
Why do we ask a question, if we already know the answer? Why do we get involved with people we already know in the end, may hurt us, what is it that attracts us to these types of people? Why do we feel the need to put ourselves in a position that could hurt us?
Ive been there, and its not the best feeling, at the time it feels right, but that's what temptation feels like. Right, and wrong. We know it shouldn't happen, but we do it because it feels good...Ya know you've been there.
Short and sweet
Hope your also checking out my other blog TheSilentPoet!

Yup, We're Going There
http://www.essence.com/2011/09/27/real-talk-are-you-willing-to-date-a-non-black-man/
I love how it is okay for a Black man to date a woman outside of his race, but when it comes to a Black woman dating outside of her race, the world turns upside down, and we act as if we are losing our heads. Why does it matter if I date a white man, Asian man, Latin, Hispanic, British, what does it matter? I am not waiting for a Black man, any to come to his senses. If someone finds me attractive, that is because God put us together. Brothers do not have a right to be upset if they see their sistah's dating a white guy. Honestly, I could care less what his color is, it's his heart, mind and soul that I am interested in. If we get along great, have a lot in common, and he treats me like I am the only woman that matters, why should I let him go? Because he isn't Black? That is absolute foolishness, and you need to get over yourselves. Do not act insulted when you see a sistah hanging with a white guy. If he loves her, he loves her, you love someone, let her find her happiness. There are brothers out there, but the problem is that they either do not know what they want, they claim that us Black women want too much, (a good man isn't asking for much, but we want to be taken care of like our fathers cared for us, why settle for less?) My dad, no matter what the cost, circumstance or situation, he would always provide because that's what his job was. Even as we get older, he will still care for us regardless if we live with him or not.
The link that I posted above is about Black women dating outside their race. I normally would pass this up, but I would like to know why it matters if we date outside or not when men have been doing it for years? Not just Black men either, White men dating non white girls, Asian's dating non Asian's, somehow, Black women are still a target in this world, for reasons that should not even matter.
Why can't we just live our lives?

Women & Men: Vague I know!
Women and men both make a lot of mistakes, however, we do not always see them as mistakes, but more so choices made to determine the best solution of a problem. We only want what is best, yet the world seems to decide otherwise. Will society ever just let us be? Not really, but we will continue to prove to the world that we marry for both love and money, why can't we have both? Some marry for one, some marry for none, they marry someone because they know that this person can help them survive. After all, this world is survival of the fittest, and sadly, we know that our third world countries are not doing so great, but that is because of the bad leadership, and greed.
If men understood how a woman thought, would they cheat? Would he let his eyes wonder? If a woman knew her man would she even bother being with him? Why doesn't she just let him go?
I just find it funny and odd how men and women operate. We upset each other all the time, and still yet, we cannot make it without one another. Literally, even if two women fell in love, they still need a man to get em pregnant. Can't escape that one, and the same goes for men...Anyway, off topic...
I really think and believe that if we took the time to understand each other, than we would want to hurt each other less. Instead of cheating, be honest and tell the girl you have a woman. Just because you are not seen together does not mean you take advantage. Ladies, check in with your man, let him know what's up. I watched The Game, and even though Melanie and Derwin had some major issues between them, they remained honest even though it could have broken them. They have overcome many trials, infidelity, a child from two unwed parents, we have witnessed them get through, and still yet, they love each other. She knew what she was doing, they watched each other fail, but they also pushed each other to succeed because that is what's important. Why watch your lover fail if you know you can help them? Don't do them wrong just because the opportunity is there. I do not care if it is a man or a woman, neither should act like idiots. If you got something good, you better work hard to make it stick other wise you can kiss what is called love goodbye. It can only happen so many times.
