30 THINGS WE AS BLACK PEOPLE DO WHEN WE THINK NOBDOY IS WATCHING....
1. Play Jeezy, or any other ignorant music as loud as possible.
2. Dance. We love to dance. We like dancing alone, with someone, or even as a large group.
3. Sing. This lady at my job asked me if I could sing, I said, I can hold a note. That was a blatant lie. When I’m at home, I sing Marvin Gaye at the top of my lungs.
4. Watch Twerk Team videos. [Obligatory nod to all the Black men in the audience today.]
5. Eat fried chicken. I don’t know why we keep hiding this stuff from white people, they be knowing; The Colonel and Popeye are both white.
6. Google incoming numbers we don’t have in our phone.
7. Go on Twitter, Facebook or Gchat and talk about our coworkers. Unless you work with all Black people, you have to resort to these options on the low to get out your thoughts.
8. Talk about how racist white people are, and how they don’t get it.
9. Play Spades and Bid Whist. As a shorty, I had two telephone books, and a death threat on my head if I reneged.
10. Beat their kids like Zab Judah, something I don’t agree with. Also, Black parents have this thing called the Angry Whisper — it’s basically when your mother sends you death threats through her teeth.
11. Stare at white people’s butts – both men and women do this. Either they’re small or their big, either way we’re just wondering how it works.
12. Argue. We’re just a spirited bunch, we love each other.
13. Laugh. My coworkers will never see me laugh, can’t let them ever think I enjoy working for the Man.
14. Locate, identify, but never alert the authorities. Jamie: “There go the police.” Tyreke: “WHERE?!” Jamie: “You being mad obvious right now, don’t look.”
15. Talk funny. Trust me, that’s not our normal voice until we’re with our friends and the door is locked.
16. Throw away bills. Sallie can kiss my black… moving right along.
17. Make personal phone calls on our work phone. And get mad when a colleague has the audacity to interrupt us with actual work.
18. Make up new code words and slang to use with our friends. White people stole swag from us before we even got good at it.
19. Call their momma.
20. Put something unhealthy in our hair like pomade or a perm. I would like to say something about patting a weave or something, but according to sisters, “when your hair is itching, it’s itching, so we scratch whenever.”
21. Pretend like we’re playing a sport. For example, balling up a piece of paper, tossing it in the trash, yelling, “KOBE!” and then walking back to your desk.
22. Heat up some food from home and try to avoid questions. “That smells good, what is it?”
23. Make a subtle fashion statement, like twisting our visor at McDonald’s.
24. Hook up our friends with stuff from work.
25. Snap jokes on each other. We tease each other a lot, it’s to develop thick skin.
26. Grease up the body with cocoa butter or shea butter and go to bed.
27. Talk about what we “gonna” do.
28. Tell stories with one word. For example, “How was last night?” is responded to by saying, “Bawse…” or “son…”
29. White person sent this one in: “When I’m hanging around my [friends who are Black] they talk about people’s sex lives a lot.”
30. We call things that aren’t official, official. For example, “THE OFFICIAL WAKA FLOCKA CONCERT AFTERPARTY,” even though Waka will not be there.
2. Dance. We love to dance. We like dancing alone, with someone, or even as a large group.
3. Sing. This lady at my job asked me if I could sing, I said, I can hold a note. That was a blatant lie. When I’m at home, I sing Marvin Gaye at the top of my lungs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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
