Who is Ms. Not-Right-Now?In the world of the Mr. & Mrs. Rights and the Mr. & Ms. Right Nows, I find myself stuck somewhere in the unknown. Being below the average marrying age but above the age of guiltless emotionless sex with near strangers, I’d like to consider myself between a rock and a hard place–literally (think about it for a sec, LOL!). But most of those against mindless sex or genetically incapable of playing the field, opt for monogamous relationships. And the most serious of the serious make legit plans for marriage. I am not at all opposed to these serious arrangements. Rather, these arrangements are opposed to me.
I’ve heard it phrased several ways from various sources but the point remains the same, intelligent women suck at relationships (Find out why in this post from GALTime.com http://tiny.cc/2ws17). And unfortunately, life continues to prove I am NOT the exception, I am the RULE. Why? Well I have no problem taking full responsibility for this one. For one reason or another, I have probably dated every undateable imaginable. From Mr. Ex-Con to Mr. Lies-About-Everything-But-His-Name, I’ve managed to pick up more trash than Philly’s current anti-litter campaign. So recently, I’m doing a little soul-searching to find out why I am relationship impaired. Stay tuned and maybe just maybe (clicks heels three times) my self-discovery will help some of the other Ms. Not-Right-Nows out there.
The Misadventures of Ms. Not-Right-Now
To those of you complaining that “Think Like a Man” promotes ancient, sexist stereotypes I say, lighten up and laugh a little! It’s definitely worth a see if for nothing else then all the BLACK LOVE!! Yummy! And the fact that its finally not a Tyler Perry production.

Check out the latest post—an ode to Black Men!!! Much Love!
For some reason, this Trayvon Martin thing has really gotten me thinking about Emmitt Till. Maybe he’s the Emmitt Till of a new generation. The loss that will make us angry enough to change the world. God bless the family and Trayvon, I hope you’ve found peace beyond this crazy world we’re living in. You are one fallen soldier of so many that don’t even make it to the news. The systematic killing and imprisonment of young black boys being passed off as “racial profiling” is genocide by another name. Let’s end this. Let’s give young black boys something to Live for instead of something to die for.
tragicloveinthebackofanimpala:
I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.
I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone.
It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.
I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.
But when I see a mother with her child;
A girl with her lover;
Or a friend laughing with their best friend;
I realize that even though I like being alone,
I don’t fancy being lonely.
