Its just my opinion, I dont really feel like doing any philosophical in depth study into what im talking about ….ive been up to long, worked too hard, i have to wash my hair and I just want to coment on something that bothers me from time to time….

RACE/ETHNICITY—not interchangeable two words with different meanings

Yes I’ve taken AFR’s(have a minor to be exact) Ive even taken classes on socio-cultural learning so i know enough about race to have a dialogue on the matter in the least lol. But what seems to bother me is that people always feel the need to state their race referring to bi-racial, as if that puts you higher up on the totem pole than us one-racial people or the people that dont make it a point to tweet about it, or place it in their bios, or say it out loud.

Whats wrong with Black? In the old days if you had a ounce of black in you, that is what you where considered, a Black person. Nowadays people have a ounce, more like a droplet of white, mexican, indian, native american(black peoples favorite) and they just go overboard.  Black people are one of the strongest group of people that I know, and for us to make it seem as though to be black is inadequate is not ok.

I see my sisters and I hope they gain their true sense of identity, that comes from within not based on the color of their skin.

I love being dark skin, number one reason, is that I am like wrinkle proof until like 60 lol  maybe even later. IDK i think that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and I feel that we miss that sometimes!

For seven days I’m not going to get on twitter or fb where I get my daily laugh from …but instead I’m going to get on here and post my thoughts ..carrying a sticky note and scribbling thoughts through out the day and putting them together on here

What should I write about..

I havent been on here in a minute…and i forgot the reason why I low key liked it, because of the simple reason you can express yourself openly and honestly unlike other social networks! #GREAT

So as of now I decided to write a short snippet of what just came into my head..what would life be like if i hadn’t went to college…

For starters I dont think I would be pregnant, but maybe in a serious relationship like most of my “friends” from back home…

I probably would be stir crazy from sitting at home being mugged by my mom and scrutinized by my uncles

I would be a lot smaller, a lot less wiser, less inquisitive, less well -rounded, much better liver, more of a mommas girl…

but what about the friends that I have gained or the experiences we have shared or the life lessons that I have learned…

yea ive made some bad decisions have I learned from some yes…and do i repeat some of them…yes…but like the lady off weeds said when asked what did you learn from going to jail “I learned to do it bigger and better and not get caught” maybe quotations wasn’t necessary since it wasn’t verbatim but its all good…

IM BACK YALL!!! 

I dont even really know if the title makes sense, but I feel like its my blog lol. Im not the best writer in the world, hence I’m not an English major. So I figured that since I couldnt go to sleep and twitter wasnt updating fast enough and facebook, well i just think Im too GROWN for that lol wasnt quite cutting it. 

It took me awhile to figure out what my first blog would be about, since the invention of the internet, everything you do is open to the public, and I really appreciate seeing myself on google images (SIKE). So I thought that I would right about why i hate the word thirsty but then I had to think twice about my future. I was also going to do a blog on what happened to me thursday night (RACISM), but again I say I thought twice about deans of admissions offices seeing it. 

So I thought to myself i should right about randomness but nothing in particular. Like a book of short stories such as where the sidewalk ends, or the mystery books where you can pick if you want to go to chapter 2 or skip ahead to chapter 10. Was I the only one that read books like that?! Was I the only person in the summer reading program in high school lol. Reading takes me to where I want to be, it enlightens your mind in so many ways.

Most of my blogs will have questions that I answer my own self, or just leave them open-ended. I think most of my blogs are going to be like me in real life, the side that only some people really know. That i think alot, seems like more than what i used to. Im always thinking in my head, sometimes I say it outloud and Ive had people stare at me for that. Daydreaming gets me through alot of things in life, such as boring class, or a boring conversation with another person. 

Im finding myself, Yea im finding myself at 22. Some people think that I should already know who I am, but not really ive only lived a fourth of the average life expectancy. Do I feel ashamed, NOPE not necessarily, just trying to find out how to live my life in this world, how to trust god, and how not to loose myself or the person that I think I am along the way.

I believe in destiny. We where all destined to be something before we where even thought of. God has a plan and thats how I mostly live my life. So I mostly dont worry about the things that Im suppose to worry about lol, such as where my car keys are or where my id and debit card are; which ive currently lost by the way,or when my bills are due just somehow it all gets done. A lot of people have told me if my head wasnt attached to my body I’d probably lose it, but I beg to differ lol.

So for now I think thats all Ive got…probably not that good, and it might lack substance, but its me! Im not stating any facts where I have to search books and right a thesis on its just me being me. One day I’d do a blog like that a philosophical blog, but for now its just Jasmine’s World!
