Up, up and away

Heyyy friend, since we always UP to something, I wanna give a tribute to the word UP, because everyday of our life we do something meaningful with the word up.
So with that being said, I wanna know, what’s UP with you?
How many of these UPs did you do today?

hurry up, stand up, start up, write up
raise up, speed up, mark up, fill up
come up, pull up, step up, climb up
drive up, straighten up, cheer up, tear up
rise up, lift up, run up, clean up, buckle up

chin up, pin up, put up, shut up
get up, sit up, hit up, spit up

woke up, broke up, spoke up

Bad Boys

Alright ladies, what you gon do when they come for you?

He said, “Hey Cutie,” that’s all she heard
And he made her smile with just those two words

What is it about you Bad Boy that got her so hooked?
What is it about you, is it the way that you look?
Is it yo style, yo flow, is it yo smile or yo swag?
Is it the fact that you can buy her that expensive Birkin bag?

She want a drug dealer, a hood boy, yeah she like the gangster
She don’t want no nice, quiet, nerdy boy, nobody wants a wangster

She want the one that’s rough, all tattooed, a lil rowdy
The one with the saggy pants that’ll pull a trigger, no doubt about it
She want the one that’s tough with the words he say
And even if he abuse her, she’ll just look the other way
Oh he said he sorry, it won’t happen no mo
He said that as he watched the blood from her head just flow

Some women protect the Bad Boy...

You woke up

You woke up late
You woke up tripping
You woke up hot
You woke up on the wrong side of the bed
You woke up with mad
You woke up grateful
You woke up lonely
You woke up with a headache
You woke up happy
You woke up sad
You woke up horny
You woke up feeling bad
You woke up tired…
But the good news is… You woke up.
 

Biden

Back in the day we used to put our hand out towards someone else’s face and say “Bye,” as if to say, “Bye, get out my face.”
Just imagine Biden telling you, “Bye then, imma go, get out yo face and be gone.”

You saying I should be replaced and get out the race - Biden
You saying I’m too old - Biden
You saying I’m unfit and not fit for office - Biden
You want me to step down, step off and step out - Biden
You saying I can’t win… Well Biden

But you want me to pass the “Stress” test right?
So what you are saying is, in order to “pass” the stress test, I need to pass it on to the next person… Got it!
Well, you know what my response is to that? Biden

You saying I should relax, retire and enjoy the rest of my life… Well I should and I just might.
Let somebody else deal with this mess of a stress, load off my chest… Just remember, there’s no mending, our relationship is e...

You love me, but

What is love? 
Is it just a feeling, emotions or actions?
Is it just words? 
I love you - I love you so much, this much, too much, very much…
When your spouse, husband, friend, child or someone tells you they love you, how do you receive the words you just heard?
And when you say “I love you” are they just words spoken?
Do you give love the way you want love received?
Ask yourself, do your actions line up with what you just said?
But then again, if someone doesn’t KNOW what love is, then that could be a reason as to why they don’t know how to show it.

God is Love. Do you love like God loves?
God's love is unconditional. Here’s how I know.
God's love is pure, gentle, comforting and forever.
Your love is sometimes and can change like the weather
It can be cold, or it can be hot
You can love me a little, or love me a lot

Your words say, I love you, but wha...

The Young and the Dress Less

Yes I said it - The Dressless, cause what are they really wearing?
It’s practically nothing. Should it be called “Clothes for Hoes?”
But why do they dress less? Is it for attention, is it insecurity, is it they lack confidence, is it cute, is it tacky, is it sexy, is it to “fit in,” is it misleading, is it enticing…?

I know what it is, it is sad. It’s sad to see how some of these young generations leave nothing for the imagination. Seems like everything flashes, even eyelashes.

But at what point do we hold parents accountable for this behavior, especially when children are under 18 and dressing provocative? Because truth be told, most of them don’t have a job to be buying those type of clothes, so who’s buying them?

Back in the day, it was a must to cover up. But that was then, cause now, they on full display. They display it all, from the skimpy clothes to wearing no draws.

When I tell you they extra, they “Extra....

In this world, many want to achieve something. It is a desire to be rewarded with something that you have earned.
When you graduate from high school, you earn a diploma. 
When you graduate from college, you earn a degree.
Sometimes when you excel at a job, you earn a raise and/or a promotion. Yet everyday, people overlook the fact...

Are you tipping or dipping?

In the server industry many servers hourly pay is $2.13 an hour. The rest of their income is earned from their tips. Do you know that the average tip should be between 18 to 20 percent, or more if you choose? But people tend to leave less and sometimes less can be based on the server’s performance, the wait time on the food, the person’s finances at that time, or just because. Then there are also times when you can give “Great” service and still do not get a tip.

Now most upscale restaurants have their servers best interest at heart because that 18% gratuity is automatically included in your total. But what about the small diners and restaurants that have great food and great service, but do not take out gratuity? Here’s the breakdown. There are times when a bill is $100.00 dollars and for every hundred the 18% tip should be $18.00, but the customer only tips $5.00.

Then there are times when the bill is $10.00 and the customer tips $10.00. At the ...

VERSUS

There is so much division going on in this country, especially with this election and the White House and Biden and Trump and the Republicans and so forth. OMG, why does everything have to be so competitive and challenging amongst our own country. So many disagreements, lies and heated arguments to prove who’s right and who’s better. It seems to be more about control than anything, but where is the integrity?

In this country it’s like people want to “control” a woman’s right to decide what’s best for HER body. Then you have one candidate saying immigrants are coming to take “Black Jobs.” What’s a “Black Job” in America? I so wanna know. That is such a divisive statement.

Also, it's 2024, there definitely need to be some changes to some of these laws and especially the requirements to the terms and conditions for eligibility for the presidency and also when it comes to our states, because when you have “some” states that do what they wan...

The Not so Great Debate

We had a debate where the candidate
Was supposed to communicate
The direction in which the united state
Yes, state how we can become back united
Yet however, more lies than truth were cited
Remove the blindfold so you can see
All that is hidden under the oval tree
There were lies told with little truth to unfold
Low and behold, they both awkward and old

But how can we relate
When the great grandfathers are not so great
Trying to tear each other down when both have flaws
Yes we definitely need changes, time to change these laws
Will an age limit make a difference in the performance, I guess 
But right now we are dealing with one big, hot mess

The country is doomed, or so I assume
But what are we to do when our only choices are these two
It’s like the blind leading the blind
When the ages combined together is one hundred fifty nine
