Have you ever looked around (literally or figuratively) and wondered "Am I the only sane person in the world?!?!" Well I do this quite often. Sometimes I'll see/hear/read something that will really make me question these people that I share this Earth with (and I even call some of them friends - maybe I'm not so sane after all huh?) Are they delusional or am I the one that just doesn't know? Are they liars or do I just not know their truth? Did they choose the red pill but I chose the green one (whatever that means LOL)?
Nope I just really don't think it's me! But then again they're prolly thinking the same thing so who knows really! I just don't know what to think. I'm thinking I should keep my distance from those I label as "troubled" and stay a little closer to those that are more on my level of saneness.
Til Next Time . . . Smooches Lovers (and stay out of "TROUBLE")!!!

Two Dope Boys in a Cadillac
This post has been brought to by Outkast and The Duke!!!
Okay I think about this topic every once & a while so I've decided to blog about it.
We're all familiar with Facebook or MySpace (or any other social website), right? And we know that you can indicate whether you're in a relationship or not, right? And Facebook even goes as far as indicating who you're in the relationship with.
On my FB profile it says I am in a relationship with The Duke. I am professing to the whole FB world that I am involved in a serious relationship with The Duke and I'm thinking this is sufficient! But then I go to other people's profiles and not only do they have the relationship indicator but they also say write "I Love You" on their significant others' walls; they put how much they are in love in their statuses; they say that these people are the loves of their life; so on & so forth. So now I'm second guessing myself!!! Maybe I'm not doing enough. Maybe I should write a love sonnet on The Duke's wall. But then I realize that I just can't do it! Not because I don't love/adore/like The Duke, but because that's just not my style! Hell I choke every time I try to say "The Duke is my...boyfriend." Again, this has nothing to do with my feelings for the young man, but it has everything to do with...well I don't really know what it has to do with.
So that brings me to my dilemma...Is it something wrong with me? Am I not affectionate enough? Do I have commitment issues? Am I really a man? I don't know what the deal is! But just when I start to panic and try to re-wire myself, I realize - The Duke isn't complaining, so why am I stressing? We know how we feel about each other: He knows he's my favorite! I know I'm his "shawty" LOL!
I had to realize that every relationship sets its own rules depending on the two people involved and you can't really compare one relationship to another. Some couples are more "lovey dovey" than others! Our relationship is a tad more relaxed and that's what makes us work!
So til next time...Smooches Lovers!
P.S. The post was co-sponsored by The Duke because when I asked him how he would describe our relationship, he said we we are "cool like 2 dope boys in a Cadillac!" He also quoted Playa Fly (one of Memphis' Finest -LOL) "F*&% what these niggas say, we gon make it anyway!" I told ya'll our relationship was a tad different from most! Nothing like GHETTO LOVE (LMAO)!
UPDATE: Okay Common explains me perfectly in The Light (I knew somebody understood me!)

Po' Folks
Today's post is brought to you by Nappy Roots!
Can I just say that I'm am BROKE! I mean broke like I have never been broke before. And the worst part is it's not getting better anytime soon. This is going to be a very SAD, SAD SUMMER!

P.S. I'm not obsessed with money or anything (my last 2 posts have been about $$$) but financial difficulty is a UGLY B&*@H and my finances are being real difficult right now!

Ball of Confusion...
Today's post is brought to you by The Temptations!
...That's what Ash is today (hoo a hey, hey LOL)! Today Princess ERB (my fellow "Law Babe") and I were discussing our future and post-law school plans. We are starting realize that a JD doesn't automatically mean a six-figure salary (or anywhere close for that matter)! Don't get me wrong, money is not the driving force behind me becoming an attorney, however after 3 additional years of school and 3 additional years of tuition (and loans), one might expect to at least be able to pay one's bills and still be able to live comfortably.
Picture this: you're accepted to Villanova University School of Law, you bust your ass day-in and day-out to compete with the other law students, you manage to graduate in three years as well as pass the bar (on the 1st try I might add), and now you've been offered a position as an Assistant District Attorney in Delaware County, PA. Exciting huh? Think again! Come to find out your yearly salary will be somewhere around $30K and after taxes you'll be bringing home a mere $19K. Yeah you read it correctly! Now how in the hell are you going to pay all your bills (including student loans - both undergrad & law school) on that? Exactly my point!!!
Obviously being a DA isn't the only job in the world but it is a very popular route for recent grads (and a very important job)! And no, I don't plan on being a DA but how often does life follow our plans. Just makes you think, ya know! Yes I know everybody isn't concerned with money but some of us don't have that luxury and money (or the lack thereof) can be a BIG issue.
Okay, okay I know what GOD has for me, is for me; HE won't put more on me than I can bear; HE didn't bring me this far just to leave me; and HE'LL take care of all my needs but I wouldn't be human if I didn't worry (at least a little bit) but that's enough worrying today!
