The BIG move!

 So, about a month and a half ago, I made a big change in my life, I MOVED! Who would have thunk it? Everyone kept saying "You're never gonna leave." I didn't think I was going to leave, it never even crossed my mind, but I did...and it was the BEST decision I've ever made.

Pieces Of Me...

"These are the pieces of me.."
There are so many layers, and underlying layers to this woman we call Jasmine. It's taken me a long to take all of these pieces, group them together and become the woman that I am. There has been plenty of help along the way, I would NEVER be the woman I am, and destined to be, without that help. It's been a very long, and grueling journey, and right now, I feel I am at a crossroads. I've given myself away to God, and it's like, my journey is starting all over again. It's amazing and scary at the same times. Most times, I don't know which way I am going, up, down, left, or right, but I just keep going, praying that it is the direction God has laid out for me. The pieces of me include my mind, body, heart and soul. They all connect together and become ME, but sometimes, they break away, and I am not the same person because my pieces have been torn apart. Together, nothing can break me, apart, I am not Jasmine...

Celibacy Thang...

"This here celibacy thing, Lawd, just got something over me"
With those lyrics, Jill Scott said it best!!! This is what I am feeling right now. Being celibate is not easy, at all! I've made this decision for myself. I wanted more for myself, and being "non-sexual" was a good route for me.

Would've Been The One..

 

I'm a woman who loves a variety of different men. I've dated all different types and varieties. I even talked to a Caucasian guy for about a week! That was really out of my comfort zone, but hey, at least I tried it! In my dating experiences, which don't amount to much because I hate dating, I've come across guys who could have possibly been the one, but my picky self, there was ALWAYS something wrong!

26 Years...

On Thursday, March 31st, I celebrated my 26th birthday. I was surrounded by people that I absolutely and truly love with all of my heart, and those who I know feel the same. This has been one of the best birthdays I have in a very long time. Usually, I feel like I really don't want to do anything, and I just want to be by myself. This year, I felt free.

Music: I STILL love Her...

 

My whole entire life, music has had a profound effect on my entire being. Music is like that female friend that you have. We all know how catty females can be. You have that love-hate relationship with them. Although they can do you wrong, and tell all of your business, you can't help but love her. You can't help but want to listen to all her problems, give her advice, and then tell her off for telling your business. You still love her, even through all of her faults...

So, you thought he/she was gonna stay? You's a fool shawty!

So, in my short life, I have learned so many things about men. I have also learned that a lot of men and women think alike. Yes, you have the old adage that women are emotional and men are physical. But, things have definitely changed, it's 2011 for pete's sake! Women are no longer sitting back waiting on their prince charming, they are out there looking for him, spitting game to him, loving and leaving them, shacking up with no commitment, just like males have been known to do for so long. So, you find yourself with a new boo (male or female), which is cool, maybe even think it may go further than the "boo-thang" stage, so you ignore the signs and that rumble in your stomach telling you something is off. Well, if you think he/she is going to stay...you's a fool shawty!

Why I want to marry Lavell William Crump!!

I have always had a thing for strong, intelligent, black men. I've been spoiled in my life because I grew up around those types of men, including my brothers. I have a host of uncles who have set this same example, so of course, the man that I want has to be all of those, plus more. I think I have finally found him, and so, I think I want to marry him!

Women are "F-ed" up!

                              
As we all know, women are emotional creatures by nature. Of course we have the ones that "Act" like they have no feelings, but we all know the truth. Regardless if you "act" like you don't care, and you have your "fuck the world" mentality, everyone knows,  you do care. Why? To put it bluntly, because you are a woman. It is your very being to be emotional. Because of this, we are fucked up!

Why am I still single?

A few years ago, I was on Youtube, (which I am on, like...everyday...#dontjudgeme), and I came across a video of Kim Fields reciting poetry. At first, I was like...umm...Regine? Really? But, being the curious, weird person that I am, I went ahead and watched. Needless to say, the video ended up on my Myspace page (Yea, like really, #dontjudgeme), I loved it that much. For some reason today, I thought about that video, I hadn't thought about it in so long, but i rememberd that, I am single, and I was wondering why.

The Joy of Chocolate Men...

I have a thing for men...plain and simple! I have flown back and forth between the light skinned to the dark skinned men. As a weird youngster, I was IN LOVE with Romeo from Immature. He was my boo until the 7th grade, that's when I went to a School for the Arts. Yea, now you guys see why I am so weird, but anywho, that's where I discovered my love for brown skinned men. Yes LAWD, they were everywhere! By the time I hit high school, that all changed and the dark skinned brotha was, oooh...it was the lips and the eyes, and the bodies! Whoo! Yes, I was in heaven. As I have aged, I have learned to accept and love all men and their different skin tones. At the point I am now, I absolutely love a nice chocolate man! They have the strong african features that I love. The eyes, and the wide noses and full lips...ooh..I just almost went on another subject, but I am going to stay on them this time! So, I compiled a list of my favorite chocolate men, including a few honorable mentions! Enjoy!
