It's 15:30 blasting "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown. What does the new kid know about that LOL? They probably just know of Being Bobby Brown. Anywho, this has no set topic. I'm just rambling on through the thoughts an ideas that lie scrambled through my brain. Here I am sitting in my basement, lights off, everyone sleeping, including my best friend who is probably dreaming about her something special :). Nonetheless, I cant seem to put a finger on what I want to discuss. Not to sound too melodramatic but that's how it comes out.
Ever imagine yourself being something being bigger than yourself? A persona that is better and more realistic than the person you are right now? I want that. I want to be more than just a basic, nonexistent person that no one would take a second glance at. My imagination always helps me seek who I want to become and who I'd take with me. Like I can be sitting in front of the TV, and I'll watch the BET Awards or the Grammy's. Like that's me up there presenting. That's me up there giving a knockout performance like it's 1990. That's me winning all the awards, hoping that I won best new artist over August Alsina, winning best female rap artist just SHUTTING DOWN Nicki Minaj and that bubble she calls an ass, and maybe just beating Beyoncé is asking for too much, but I can dream :D
Spike Lee can see me one day, because that's a man I see myself becoming, just in female form. Like he is so damn underrated it makes no sense. Like this world is so lucky my ideas can't be put on paper right now. They are not ready for this reality check I'm ready to sign and cash! YOU KNOW WHAT? Considering this politically correct world we live in today, I do think it would be needed, but not allowed. #SOCIETYSUCKS

blogging < vlogging: that's probably what the new kid wants
This pretty much explains my fear of blogging in the first place. This generation does not see any reason to read anything these days. Oh trust, they'll start reading those facebook posts; they'll read those twitter feeds, and they'll read those 4 word instagram posts before laying their hands on a book. Only time the book is picked up is after a movie adaption is released (i.e. Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby, The Fault in Our Stars, Twilight..... yeah you get the point). So what was the whole point in reaching out to the new kid, if I knew that he or she wouldn't bother reading what I had to say?
I'm personally in between the two: the old kid who loves to read and the new kid who doesn't know the fun in reading. The ones that don't read, and when I say read, and I don't mean the aforementioned stuff, I mean reading an article out of the newspaper or even a blog post that can possibly enrich the mind. I don't know what it is about these kids today. They must be afraid of pronouncing big words or just having reality smacking them in the face. Who will ever know. The new kid feels entitled not having to explain and prove anything to anyone. Maybe it's the school system. Summer reading assignments are just a thing of the past but I digress.
YouTube videos pretty much took over the mass communications playing field. New information, new entertainment, and other sorts of stuff on the video screen pretty much grabbed attention better than words on a piece of paper. So I'm like cool, why don't I start a YouTube channel! What am I gonna talk about? Who am I gonna make them with? Am I gonna be funny or serious? All this stuff came about, but I never had the nerve to sit down in front of the camera. I'm that insecure, even though people aren't physically watching me, the thought of people looking at me for 3+ minutes was just nerve wrecking. So I'm like f*** it. I'll be the old head and stick to what I know. Words are still powerful whether you know it or not.
The whole vlogging idea came about when I started college. My love for vloggers started back in the early months of 2009, when I discovered Maurice "Kain" Carter (+hotdamnirock) and Kingsley (+Kingsley). Those two niggas were the funniest dudes I've even seen, espeicially Kain. I was plotting on becoming the female version of him and putting his ass in place! Don't get me wrong, his videos are forever true and to the point but who am I to go toe-to-toe with a grown ass man? AND he's from Baltimore? F*** outta here! As far as Kingsley was concerned, I loved his "innocence",
and not necessarily the complete sense of the word. His exuberant charisma pretty much put a smile on my face (which is rare) and since he plans on stopping his vlogs at the end of the year, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to take over. But then I realized that no one can top what Kingsley, Kain Carter, or even Tre Melvin (+ThisIsACommentary) did to the industry. That's just probably not me.
If I have any purpose in life, maybe getting the new kid to read again could be a goal. Just maybe, I can show them the words have power after all. I'm telling you, if I learned anything after my first year in college other than twerking or the school alma mater, I learned that their is power in words if you know how to use them wisely and correctly. Just think of all the possibilities, ya know? Just think..........

My Very First Post! - PLAY BEFORE YOU GET PLAYED
So my best friend asked me this question last night, and it made me laugh a little bit. Then again all her dying questions were humorous to me. In all seriousness, she asked me "How to outdo these n**** before they play you?" So I call this post "Play Before You Get Played".
Sadly for most females, you already played yourselves even before you meet a guy. What women seek is high expectations, while men seek low standards. I think it should be flipped the other way around. Let me explain.
It's damn near ridiculous. Why give someone complete power over you? We as women should have complete and total control of how things play out in a relationship, you just don't understand. But why do you always end up with the short end of the stick? We have the tendency to be easily persuaded by words of "candor". You take to heart all the promises you hope come true. With that, you feel like you found the man of your dreams! Next thing you know, emotions get in tact and you continue to believe everything a dude throws in your face.
You are expecting so much from practically so little, you get your feelings hurts with no where to turn next. Right there shows how you played yourself. You can point the blame on him all you please but in then, guys only do what you allow them to. If you seeing a guy, and trying to figure how not to get played, you have the tools to play the game yourself. Just don't expect much and not take all the words you hear to heart. You may have been born with intuition, but also with two eyes and a brain. If you haven't already noticed, saying and doing are two completely different words. Start paying attention to what he does instead of what he says. If actions do not constantly back what he says, then the guy is complete bullshit.
Point is: Don't expect too much from someone who talks a lot. Play your cards right before dealing them all in at once.
