THE PAN AM BLACKBIRDS....PROOF WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELING FOR YEARS...

On February 22nd, New York Parlouristas and style lovers will have the chance to relive the golden-era of travel when the Maysles Institute hosts a discussion featuring the Pan Am Black Birds, the African-American flight attendants of the famed airline which was not only known for the beauty of the staff, but the brains and personality of the select women. Fans of the surprise hit ABC tv series Pan Am can already transport themselves to the time when air-travel was for when only the lucky ones who could afford it, and when they could—were treated to a level of luxury service only found in the most prestigious of first-class cabins today.

In the 60s and 70s, Pan Am was one of the largest airlines in the world and known for their impeccable service, exotic destinations and their famed attendants, who underwent a rigorous yet rewarding selection process. In exchange for being the pretty faces of the airline and providing top-nothc service, Pan Am World Airways attendants were given the opportunity to see the world and often concluded their careers multi-lingual and with a global perspective that also influenced the status of women during that time. Since air-travel was only affordable to some, a woman who traveled as much as the women of Pan Am was a rarity—and a black woman who did was virtually unheard of.

Travel and history lovers should enjoy this discussion that features seven original African-American Pan Am Stewardesses and one former pilot.

NOTE TO LIL WAYNE...LEAVE THE SINGING TO SINGERS....

EVEN IN HER DEATH, SHE TAKES CARE OF THE ONE SHE LOVED MOST....

ATLANTA — Whitney Houston left everything to her 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

The pop superstar's will doesn't mention specific assets, but leaves all of her furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars to her surviving children. Bobbi Kristina was her only child.

Inside Edition first reported the will, filed in Atlanta, on Wednesday.

Houston's money will be put in a trust. Bobbi Kristina will get part of it upon turning 21, more of the money at age 25 and the balance at age 30. Houston's trustees can give her money from the trust for various purposes, including tuition, to buy a home and to start a business.

The will was signed on Feb. 3, 1993, about a month before Houston gave birth to her daughter. The 48-year-old died Feb. 11 in California.

YOU'ARE GOING TO BREAK A HEART ONE DAY....

No one ever tells you that about love. Folk say, “Protect yourself, protect your heart, be careful, don’t get hurt.” And that’s all fine, necessary even, but someone needs to teach the kids how to deal with the pain they will one day cause.

This isn’t about men or women. This is about heartbreakers, and the people who are courageous enough to fill a role they never intended to play. No one signs up to get their heart broken, but no one understands, the sign-up sheet to break someone’s heart is nameless too. And it’s difficult for the victim to get that you too never saw it coming, and even when you did, you did your best to look the other way and keep pushing forward.

You said, “I love you” and you meant it, to your detriment. Because you still mean it now, but you’re about to follow those words up with some more words that will break their heart and now, your love is forever shady. Nothing is more crushing than someone you love saying you don’t. So you stay, and you say “I love you” again, and again, because “I love you” is easier to say than “I can’t love you anymore.”


You become so afraid of being the bad guy, you choose to do good for someone else over what is good for yourself. The sign says it is time to go, and yet, you stay because you don’t want to miss them. But knowing you’re going to miss someone is no reason to stay with them. You have to go while it is still voluntary to do so, because the path you’re on is leading you to being forced out.

One day, you’re going to be on the receiving end of some pain, and you will internalize it so deeply, doctors will see it in your ex-ray. You will never forget what it feels like, long after you can’t feel it anymore and it will stay with you like a bad tattoo purchased on your drunkest night.

What’s sick is, you’re going to administer the same type of pain to someone else one day. Imagine that? In your right mind, you would never wish such a thing on anyone else, but when you’re in love, all bets are off. You have to go into the relationship with no fear of losing. That doesn’t mean you think you’re not going to lose, it just means you’re not afraid to do so. It’s not that forever isn’t a reality, it’s just that never is also a reality, and the day you decided to be with this person is the day you said you would be willing to accept either outcome.

And this is going to hurt you, but know your role. You were the heart breaker, this was your fault, so the damage you caused, as much as it caused you, keep it to yourself. No one cares how you’re doing and no one feels sorry for you.

Should you decide to ever change your mind, and ask the person whose heart you broke to come back into your life, realize, they trust you less than they did before. They live in fear you will do what you did again, and this will frustrate you because as sure as you wanted to leave, you were even more sure when you asked to come back. So they take you, with reservation, accept it. You did not cheat, you did not lie, but you did break their heart with honesty, and so for a long while, they will remain afraid of your truth coming to surface again. They’re afraid you will wake up one day and blindside them once again with the astonishing fact that you don’t know what you want.

But deal with it all.

Understand in the wake of making someone feel bad, you are not necessarily a bad person. You can do this with class, you can do this with dignity, you can do this with respect, but above all else, remember, you can do this. That last fact is the most important. It takes courage, it takes guts, and as ironic as it may sound, it takes heart. It is not easy to do the right thing when someone says you’re wrong, but don’t mistake right and wrong with fact and fiction. Fact: You can’t go on anymore. Fiction: You can keep going.

No one tells you for every heart you break, a piece of yours must be sacrificed as well, but that’s what it is. You’re going to break a heart one day, and you will find, it feels no different than getting your heart broken.

If you call
don’t be frustrated at me
just leave your heart at the beep
cause mine is harder to reach
cause mine is harder to see.

If you can't make up your mind

One day we could be together
'Cause you know that I want to be down
But right now we can all forget it
'Cause you know I gots to get around

PRINCE HARRY BEATS USAIN BOLT....NO SHIT....

Britain’s Prince William raced Jamaican track star Usain Bolt in the 100 yard dash — and beat him! But it was all in fun: Bolt was only running at 25% of his maximum speed. Prince Harry left Usain Bolt in his wake as he crossed the finish line at the Usain Bolt Track at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica today.

Before the Royal foot race began, the two men stretched together on the track. Prince Harry is in Jamaica as part of a Diamond Jubilee Tour, representing Queen Elizabeth II, including Belize, the Bahamas, Jamaica and Brazil.

The West Indian island of Jamaica gained its independence from London, England in 1962. But Jamaican currency still features prominent images of Queen Elizabeth on every bill.

WHERE THEY DO THIS AT???

POLITICAL OPINIONS....FROM MR. M ROGERS....

There is a new Republican presidential candidate commercial that just starting running in Georgia. The opening line is “Can we risk four more years of Obama?” I am wondering the same thing. Do we really want:
· A President for ALL people. Not just one for those who shares his exact views.
· A President who is improving the economy.
· A President who saved and resurrected (to #1) the auto industry.
· A President who ended two major wars started by his predecessor.
· A President who got rid of Osama Bin Laden and Moammar Gadhafi.
· A President who wants to see everyone be able to obtain affordable health care.
· A President who knows the only way to remain a super power is to focus on higher education.
· A president that actually follows the Constitution, not adjust it for the crowd his talking to.
How dare Mr. Obama think we want those characteristics in a President? We want a president that is a fear monger, who tells us that our best days are behind us and Muslims are taking over.

TRUTH IS...

EXPECTATIONS...

SHOULD WE LOWER OUR EXPECTATIONS IN ORDER TO LOWER OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS IN OTHERS OR INCREASE OUR LEVEL OF DISAPPOINTMENT UNDERSTANDING THAT WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS, WILL WILL ALWAYS BE DISAPPOINTMENT IN OTHERS ACTIONS?

BOOTY, BOOTY, BOOTY EVERYWHERE....

SAMPLING AT IT'S BEST...A STAR IS BORN....

LIFE LESSON 81....

With me what you see is what you get!! Realizing that the person you thought you knew on the outside was something completely different on the inside is devastating. The title of friend is thrown around way to loosely nowadays....I'm not guilty of that though. I never say someone is my friend...I say I'm their friend because I can't speak for someone else. With that being said, people shouldn't feel obligated to give me that title if they don't mean it.


Thank Kya

SOME TRUTHS THAT WOMEN DON'T WANT TO HEAR....GOOD SHIT....

There are a lot of things in this world people don’t like. Some things people don’t want to hear. With women, not only do they not want to hear it, they create an atmosphere of disinformation and propaganda on the level only seen with extremist groups, dictatorships, and whoever the hell believes anything on VH1, BET, or MTV is quality programming. There are truths that men discuss among themselves, that we don’t reveal to women for 2 reasons:

1. We want to have sex with you, and we won’t get there by pissing you off, or

2. We are dating you, and if want to continue to have sex with you, we aren’t going to piss you off any more than we already do.

Any dude who says “Well I don’t believe what he’s saying because blah blah blah male feminist mumbo jumbo I respect women and they are all special snowflakes BS” He’s lying to get into your pants too. Just like all them dudes still in the friend zone. Guys will say and do anything for the nookie. Period. Wars have been fought by dudes with THOUSANDS of women ready to bust down over one woman. So yes, if a guy says something that he knows will make you mad, then he’s definitely telling you the truth. This is one of those moments.

TRUTH: No good man wants a woman with multiple baby fathers in their 20-30′s. Period.
Now, women who make critically bad decisions will have their arms up and their legs wide open over this one. It’s a fact of life. No man worth his salt wants a woman who not only laid down once with a guy who didn’t stick around, but then made the same critical mistake AGAIN. If your children have your last name or all different last names and you are still in your 20′s, that’s a HUGE read flag. Believe me when I tell you, the only dudes trying to stick around are a) knew you before you made massively bad decisions, in the friend zone and want some sort of revenge fuck to show you how much better they are than the douches you went out with or b) just some grimey nigga running game who wants to smash. That’s it. I’m going to explain to you the exact logic that goes the head of a man with some sense:

She has multiple kids by multiple dudes under the age of 30 —>None of those dudes stuck around for their kids—>Grimey niggas make it obvious they are grimey with 3-4 simple questions and 5 minutes of using more than 3 neurons—>Which means…

1. I’m a grimey nigga and I need to shape up because she clearly only attracts grimey niggas so I might need to change whatever it is I’m doing and get the hell away from her.

or

2. She’s a hoodrat and will only be a financial and emotional drain. She is looking for a come-up after going deep in the hole of life.

or

3. She is a critically bad decision-maker. She will only throw my life into disarray and chaos.

Say what you want, disagree all you like, but these are the truths. If I meet a woman who is in their 20′s with multiple kids by multiple guys and not one ring, not a wedding ring, promise ring, teething ring, none of that, I cannot take her seriously. And neither will most guys. Same reason most guys don’t take strippers seriously. Guys hate getting undressed in front of people, so doing that night after night? If you had better options you would be doing as such. You know that, we know that, no need to lie about it.

TRUTH: Bashing Your Child’s Father Makes YOU Look Bad, Not HimSeriously, this is such a hard concept for a lot of women out here. Now, men know and understand its a LOT of grimey dudes out here. A LOT. One thing we also understand is that you can spot a grimey dude from a mile away. Unlike the media, talk shows, Oprah, and book clubs, men, whether we say it or not, DO hold women fully accountable for sleeping with dirtbags just as much as we hold dudes accountable for being dirtbags. We aren’t talking about guys who have jobs and were taking care of home and doing the right thing until pregnancy came up and bounced (even though sometimes you can see that coming too), but the ones that get knocked up by Lee-Roy aka “Black Rob” from around the way that was in BD classes and didn’t finish high school and never had a job. When you tell us that sob story about how he never amounted to anything and he’s in and out of jail and never worked, we blame YOU.

Why do you blame you? Because you can spot them niggas a mile away. They make it plainly obvious they aren’t doing ANYTHING with their lives. PLAINLY. On top of that, the longer you have known him, the worse you look. If you have known him for a year as a friend of a friend, you still look bad, but if you have known him for 10 years, you will be written off by any man with some sense. As soon as we hear that you slept with a dude, RAW, who didn’t finish high school, and never had a job, we pretty much mark you down in the “dumbass” column. The only reason why you are kept around at that point is for a really bad dry spell, if you are outrageously fine, or we heard that you got some crazy skills in the sex department.

Basically, you are going to have to wait until some of these good men get caught up with a grimey chick without the baggage so he’s on par with you.

Oh yeah, speaking of kids: the closer in age they are to each other, the less respect we have for you. So if the kids are 14 months apart by 2 different guys, you are a bad mother. Period. No way you are going to convince me otherwise. I think I speak for all men with some sense when I say that as well. When you are letting guys go up in you raw when you should be taking care of a newborn, you can’t be a good mother. Oh and before any women jump to the “what if one of your relatives was like that???” defense, one of my cousins has been on Maury. Twice. And I clown her constantly about it. CONSTANTLY. Being a relative or a friend doesn’t exonerate you from stupidity. You get called out for it. Men just don’t call women out often to their face because…

WE WANT THAT NOOKIE.

TRUTH: If Your Close Friend Falls Into Either Category, You Look Bad Too
Guilt by association. If you have more sense than that then why would you be around a woman like that? She ain’t that damn cool and getting your weave fixed up on the cheap is not worth the drama women like that bring. Once again, man logic leads one to conclude that:

a) you do just as much dirt as she does, you just haven’t been caught up yet;

b) you are grimey and keep her around to make you look good, or

c) you also fall into one of the categories and we just don’t know it yet.

But the main reason why women like that won’t find a good man is a very VERY simple truth.

TRUTH: They Don’t Know What a Good Man Even Is
If she did, she wouldn’t get caught up with blatantly grimey dudes. It’s really that simple. The chasm between a good dude and a grimey nigga is wider than the Grand Canyon, and easy to identify. Now, someone is going to say, “that’s not all women, most of us aren’t like that, that’s just the hoodrats/ghetto chicks/etc.” to which I will point you in the direction of Joe Budden‘s mentions, filled with college-educated women thirsting over a grimey nigga, or Chris Brown‘s, or any number of certifiably grimey dudes who have plenty of smart women who friend zone any man who is respectful of women while sack-riding blatantly grimey dudes. You have to live life by the rules, not the exceptions.

At the end of the day remember this one thing: If a man is willing to forego sex to tell you something, that’s the purest honesty you can get. Also there’s no sex in the champagne room. None.

And don’t worry, I’m coming with some more truth again, so stay tuned. The next topic: Why do black men get successful and go after white women?

FOR ALL OF US WHO NEED MOTIVATION...SUMMER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

ONE WOMAN'S THOUGHTS ON TYLER PERRY'S GOOD DEEDS....INTERESTING

‘Good Deeds‘ is about an anal-retentive, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds (Perry), trying to ‘save’ an exotic, LSLH cleaning woman (Thandie Newton) who works for his computer software firm.

Wesley Deeds is a hard-working, compassionate man who looks out for his narcissistic brother, Walter (Brian White), despite the fact that Walter sabotages his every move.

Deeds is so attentive to details that his daily routine can easily be predicted by his live-in fiancee, Natalie (Gabrielle Union).

Union turns in a wonderful performance as the understanding, submissive girlfriend who makes breakfast for her man every morning, while allowing him to go about his day without “checking in” with her (because she trusts him not to break from his routine). The warm, beautiful Natalie is every black man’s dream.

Well, ‘Good Deeds‘ is a feel-good movie for movie goers who seek a little respite from reality. But like most reality TV, ‘Deeds’ is more escapism and fantasy than realism.

Like all of Perry’s movies, ‘Deeds’ carries a hidden message, but his message is lost in all the sentimental, overemotional hokum of the movie’s script.

Let’s begin with Newton’s “Lindsey” character. She’s a single mother of one who is down on her luck. Lindsey’s life is spiraling out of control due to her own irresponsible behavior and poor decision making. In quick succession, the IRS has garnished her paychecks for not paying her taxes on time, and she and her 6-year-old daughter, Ariel (Jordenn Thompson), are evicted for not paying her rent on time. Lindsey’s meager savings, which was hidden in a mattress, is stolen by looters going through her personal belongings left on the street. And she barely has enough money to put gas in the van that she and Ariel are forced to sleep in at night.

When Deeds and Lindsay first meet in the parking garage of his firm, she calls him an “ass” for asking a two truck driver not to tow her car from where she parked it in his personal parking space!

Lindsay would call Deeds an “ass” one more time before the day was through. Her excessive hostility and sarcasm toward him, when he is simply trying to help her, is somehow supposed to make us feel sorry for her. Eventually, Lindsey warms up to Deeds, whom she quietly despises. Lke most experienced gold diggers (and strippers), Lindsey knows a sucker when she meets one.

But despite all of those red flags fluttering in his face, Wesley Deeds, like most black men, only sees her exotic beauty and her good hair. He is smitten, and once the Dopamine starts flowing, he practically throws his life away — everything he has worked so hard for — to ‘save’ Lindsey.

Deeds’ fiancee, Natalie, is very perceptive. It’s not long before Natalie notices certain breaks in Wesley’s daily routine — danger signals that his attention is being occupied by another woman.

But the dark-skinned Natalie is self-confident and secure. She is immune to the damaging effects of dopamine. So when she meets the object of her man’s affections at an office party, she doesn’t go off or act jealous — even though Wesley thinks a little jealousy is reassuring.

Natalie simply accepts that Wesley will eventually move on with the gold digger — and she, Natalie, will move on with her life.

Without giving away the entire plot, the not-so hidden message in Tyler Perry ‘Good Deeds‘ is for dark skinned women to be humble and submissive, and accept their fates when their men decide to cancel their engagement and throw their lives away to go globe-hopping with exotic LSLH cleaning ladies.
