When Boredom Strikes!

Be sittin' up in my room
Back here thinkin' bout you

Be sittin' up in my room
Back here thinkin' bout you
Im just a mess with a thang for you

The Unfortunate Zoo Event

I haven't blogged in awhile, but I felt the need to based on this whole Harambe situation. Initially, when seeing this nationwide news travel up and down my timeline on Facebook, my feelings toward the whole thing was that it was an unfortunate event that happened. What killed me was/is the people's 'I-don't-really-know-what-the-fuck-I'm-talking-about-I-just-wanna-throw-my-two-cents-in-it' opinions. I mean, damn, do some research or something before talking out of the side of your necks!!

Anyhoo, at first, my opinion was neither here nor there because I completely sympathized with the mother and and the danger of the situation. I also sympathized with the fact that this animal's habitat was disturbed and he was only acting accordingly. However, after watching the video, I did not see that woman's son in that moat, I saw my child, and HAD that been my child (and YOURS too), you'd want the zoo to take any option possible to save that child's life. It'd be one thing if Harambe was indeed protecting the child and NOT putting it's hands on him, but that big ass monster dragged the hell out of that baby and there wasn't anything ANYONE could do about it. You damn sure didn't see any witnesses jumping in to help nor people trained for this type of situation.

People say the mother should've been watching her child and that she was neglectful. BS. No one is really to blame because, hell, I've been in a situation where I turned my back for a SPLIT SECOND and my son was gone. Kids move QUICK! I can only imagine what was going through her mind, especially, when she saw her son in that damn moat. I'da lost my shit, and after witnessing the dragging and flinging, ha...

I WOULDA SHOT THE GORILLA MY DAMN SELF!!

PS. On some real shit, had she TRULY been a neglectful mother, she wouldn't have had her kids at the zoo to begin with. Probably would've been sitting in someone's house getting her hair done with her kids fruit snack money while the hairdresser on the phone gossiping with fried chicken being cooked in the background. Leave them folks alone!

Throwback Thursday - 27th Birthday!

My little tall brother & I at my 27th birthday party! Turned up (not in this pic though lol)

See What You Not Gone Do...

Is psstt or yell 'Aye girl' at me when you trying to get my attention. There's thousands of words in the English language, choose them carefully. Yeah, I hear you, but I don't see you, cuz I don't play that shit. I dont know who the fuck you think you talking to, but if you want to talk to me, I'm gone need for you to approach me like the Queen I am and introduce yourself properly. If you call yourself a MAN and if you think like a MAN, then step to me like a MAN. Other than that, foh.

Plain & simple. Enough of the fuck shit. These hoes and little ass girls got niggas thinking that shit is cute. It's not. Get it together.

Weekend Jams #1

So, I love listening to music,  and one of the things I do in my spare time (or when I remember) is download songs and make cds. Yes, I still make cds, lol. The beat and bass of the music sounds better in my car on a cd versus an MP3 player/phone. For those out there who loves to download music and need options, I will be posting my recommendations every week or every other week. I listen to various genres, but rap/hip hop & R&B are my preferred choices.

Here are my top ten songs that I love/can't stop listening to in no particular order!

01. Look at Me - Libra Jolie
02. Drippin' - Young Thug
03. Look at My Dab (Bitch Dab) - Migos
04. Digits - Young Thug
05. 2 Phones - Kevin Gates
06. Work - Rihanna
07. Wicked - Future
08. Thief in the Night - Young Thug
09. Hey There - Dej Loaf/Future
10. Stick Talk - Future

Dear Queen, Don't Play the Fool

One thing I hate and love is that relationships changes you. Changes you as a person, changes your mindset, and changes the way you  operate in future relationships; it definitely can put things in perspective on what you thought a relationship was, how it should be, and how it actually is.

My perspective at this point is that my worth is priceless, always have been, but some of my standards were low. I accepted things and dealt with things I clearly could have and should have walked away from, but I didnt. Even though I may have gained pain and maybe even pleasure, I know one thing I did gain was knowledge. I know what I want, I know what I dont want. I know men will treat you how you allow them to treat you, they will use you if you allow them to use you, they will take advantage of what you have to take advantage of, and a few will truly love you if you want to be loved, but one thing they cant do is take away your worth unless you let them.

To say you have a man that aint doing right just to have one is petty. Because not only are you diminishing your worth, but you're wasting time. Valuable time. Time that could be spent focusing on oneself or on a healthier relationship. Your man should want to build you up, not tear you down, make you smile, not be the reason you cry, give and not do all the taking. Relationships arent easy but being stupid in love is.

Do yourself and your happiness a favor and remember that you are priceless and that your time is valuable. Your life is priceless and the time in it is valuable. Dont diminish your status as a Queen being someone elses Fool.

10 Overused Ass Lines in Black Reality TV

I love watching TV, specifically reality tv shows, but when you watch a lot of black reality tv, you really start to notice how much these people use the same overused ass lines that I swear somebody is telling them to say. Every time I hear someone one in reality tv say any of these lines, I be like, "Lord, here we go." LOL, but I digress, here's my list:

"At the end of the day." 

"My thing is..."

"(See) Here's the thing."

"Let's be clear./Clearly..."

"It is what it is."

"I'm over it."

"I can't."

"Throwing shade."

"Let's spill some tea." (or any form of this sentence)

"You're on the show because of me!"

And just because this line was so freakin' classic and hilarious (especially during the time/a particular scene), I have to give an honorable mention to Sheree Whitfield of The Real Housewives of Atlanta:

"Who gone check me boo?"

Can't nobody tell me I'm lyin. LOL.

Life is a Bitch!

...and it certainly is a blessing, but why is it so damn hard? I guess if it was easy, then there really would be absolutely no point in us being alive. I get that, however, I think people and these bullshit ass life rules that have developed over time makes absolutely no sense to me.

We are already born in this mothafucker confused, nervous, and excited about even having a life, but who in the hell's bright idea was it to make it so damn complicated? The people as a whole? The government? Some bitter ass person who decided to make the world bitter as hell, too? I mean, come on with the games. This is so aggravating.

I think I, just like a lot of young people in their twenties, had my whole life figured out, planned, the degree I was aiming for, who I was going to marry, how many kids we were going to have, my profession, even down to the car I was going to drive - my bright pink Barbie Corvette (still getting that though). By the time I hit 29, it hit really hit me that these Princess Disney movies and their happily ever after bullshit played the fuck out of my ass. I felt like I spent most of my twenties bullshitting around and wasting valuable time. I had fun, but still, just unnecessary.

Now that I am 30, I have managed to accomplish a lot of things from that list, but my mindset is totally different, as it should be. Not only is my mind set on my kids futures, current and future educations,  but also on running my business and making sure that its prosperous and it has longevity. It's set on paying bills, managing savings, life insurance policies, the whole nine yards. Obviously, I'm not getting any younger and neither are my children.

At  this point, I'm also focused on how to become a better person, how to function in a world that's clearly dysfunctional, what is my actual purpose in life, what can I do and how can I do it to get to my destiny, and most importantly, is this what God wants me to do. I know it's a lot of ups and downs, trials and tribulations, smiles and tears that come into play with all of that, but damn it, why couldn't we be born into life with unique handbooks?

My curiosity of/on/about life and the need to understand what the fuck I'm really doing here is great. I don't want to wait until I'm dead to have all the answers. I need them now!!!

PS. I ain't complaining just for me, I"m complaining for everybody!

Pet Peeve #959308047038 - No Littering!

A lot of things in this world bothers me, but littering is at the top of my list! I don't understand what in the hell is so hard about throwing your trash in the TRASH CAN. I mean, hello, I'm sure receptacles were not invented to sit on the sidewalk to look cute or take up space. Utilize it!! I may be not be able to save the world (and change everything to how it SHOULD be ran), but I can, at the very least, help keep it beautiful. You should too.

Especially you grown ass mothafuckas. Ugh!

Dream Homes & Fantasy Rooms

I would definitely look into getting all my dream homes built if I had Bill Gates type of money to splurge with. Don't laugh, but when I was younger, I used to watch this channel on TV of different homes that realtors would display for sale and study floorplans in magazines to see what I would change and wouldn't change about the home. It was like 'a thing' to me. Ugh, you'd think I had no life as a child, lol.  Anyhoo, I digress. I have compiled a list of homes that you may see in the future when I get wealthy.

1 The Golden Girls Home: Anyone who knows me knows that The Golden Girls is my favorite show! I have been watching this show since I was 10 years old. Believe it or not, this show and I have a lot in common. We were produced in the same month and year: September 1985, enough said. In addition to watching this show for 20 years and owning every last season on DVD, it was only a matter of time before I started studying the floorplan of this home. I absolutely love everything about it and wouldn't change a thing; except, I would definitely get a pool built. You know that was one of Sophia Petrillo's major complaints, lol. If I had the funds, I'd get a replica home built right in Miami...and maybe even on Biscayne Blvd!

2 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Chocolate Room: Now this probably won't happen at all, but if it could. I would have a room in one of my more lavish homes (like the one below) as an exact replica of The Chocolate Room from The Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I want everything to be edible and I want the Chocolate River, too! Do I sound like spoiled Veruca Salt right now? This is my favorite movie in the whole wide world, so it wouldn't be right if I didn't have something dedicated to it!

3 Medieval Castle fit for a Modern Queen: In high school, I became fixated with medieval times and the fact that these people had actual Queens and Kings. I think it was the entire reason I passed that class, because I loved to learn about it (and Greek Mythology) so much. Ever since then, I've always said I was going to have a castle built somewhere in California that had the essence of being medieval, but of course, it has to have updated modern-day appliances and technology, because I couldn't survive!! I need the moats, the knights-in-shining armor, the big dinners, and everything that comes along with being the queen, except peasants. Peasants is a mean word. Everyone is treated equal in my world, lol.

Home Decor: Now that I've bored you with my dreams home and fantasy rooms, I have to add that my castle would not be complete without the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. Come on, who doesn't love this movie? LOL. (My second favorite movie btw!)

Free your mind!

Only the educated are free.

Mommy-Me Time Marathon

This week my kids are on Spring Break and I am on vacation. It has been a long week, but, a great one. Aside from my trip to Atlanta and finally experiencing an NBA game, I have been chillin, relaxin, and most importanly, getting paid for it!

My babies just left a few hours ago for the weekend, so now it's just me and I don't know what to do. I keep having the urge to go out of town, but my laziness keeps stopping me. If I go to Atlanta, I just want to go to the Lenox mall. If I go to Orlando, it's ONLY to see my friend Crystal and my godbaby. Everywhere else is definitely an option. I don't know, but I feel that by the time I make up my mind on whether I want to go or not, it's going to be Sunday. 

It's tough being a Libra with my indecisive ass!

Maybe I'll make up my mind before 5p. Let's all pray! Regardless of where I'll be, I will be enjoying my Mommy-Me Time!! It's a two-day marathon!

Atlanta Hawks vs Pheonix Suns

So on Tuesday, I went to Albany to visit my brother and we, along with my daughter, hit the road to go to Atlanta to see the Hawks and Suns play. We had never been to an NBA game before, so we definitely went for the experience. I was so excited, because I had been talking about going to a game (any game really lol) all year and to get that chance was live as hell.

We arrived to the Philips Arena about 45 minutes before the game started to make sure we got a good seat. We ordered 'nosebleeds' seats, but when I say them seats were high as hell. No ma'am, I could not deal and neither could my brother, lol. Our scary asses is too scared of heights, lol. I almost cried cuz I ain't wanna sit up there. I mean, my stomach got immediately nauseous and my brother wouldn't even come in. I'm like, yo, fuck this shit, let's go sit in the second section. Fortunately for us, they were not checking tickets and it seemed as if people were sitting where they wanted anyways. But for safe measure, we made sure to sneak into the section after one of the employees turned their backs, lol. Yes, we are straight gangsters!

 

Before we got seated, we did pass the Fox Sports Commentators and yes, I did not hesitate to jump my little ass behind the camera to be on TV. Please tell me yall saw me, lol. Probably didn't with my short self!!

I was very happy that I got to see Teague, Milsap, Horsford (Hawks) and even T. Chandler (Suns) play. When I say these Hawks fans were super-turned up during the game, they were, especially when the Hawks won. I was right there turned up with them, although, I must admit, the Hawks are not even in my Top 5 NBA teams, but they are in the Top 10, so I guess that's okay. Overall, I had a lot of fun and definitely can't wait to go to another game, except it's going to have to be Thunder or Warriors (my two fave teams).

Sidenote: KEVIN DURANT I LOVE YOU BOO!

I have to mention that before the game, we got to meet and talk to a couple of the Atlanta Hawks cheerleaders, and this woman was one of them. The woman in the pic, when I first saw her, my initial thought was, 'Damn, why do I feel like I know her from somewhere?' We chatted and she told me she loved my Hello Kitty purse because she's an H.K. fan, too. I thought that was cool, because coincidentally, my purse matched their uniforms to the tee, lol. Hours later, when I got back to my brother's house, I was looking through the pics and stopped at this one, like, DAMN SHE LOOKS SO FAMILIAR. So of course, Inspector Jetson was dead on the job, Googling and shit, lol. Pulled up the cheerleader roster and saw that her name was Veronica. Finally, it all made sense!! I used to watch her on VH1's Sorority Sisters! I think I was one of the few people in the world that liked the show and was mad they cancelled it. I actually interviewed her for my website, MzJetson.Com. Craziness! I wish I would've known it was her when we were talking, that convo would've went totally different, lol.

Anyhoo, just had to update this for the memories lol.  If you want to see videos of us turned up and more pics, follow me on Instagram, @MzJetson!

Let Go & Let God

It's amazing how you get addicted to something or attached to someone and you really have no idea of how to let go of it/them. It's bad when you think you need it/them in your life, but it's even worse when you let it/them convince you that they're meant to be in your life. And even when youre addicted or attached, just the thought of letting go of something that you think makes you happy, but is really hurting you, is hard as hell, so how can one move on without hurting themselves or others around them? It's simple. Pray.

Pray that God will deliver you from whatever it is that is hindering you. Pray that God will remove all things and people from your life that does not put a smile on your face or amplifies your happiness. If you know deep down that your soul and your spirit is being dragged through the mud because of this addiction or attachment, then that is telling you a lot. Deter from it. Try your hardest, cuz trust it will be hard, but just know that in the long run, it will be the best decision you ever made.

This morning I woke up with this decision: to let go and let God, and really, it's all because of a dream I had. Dreams are your subconscious mind sometimes expressing, manifesting, and showing you that your conscious world may be in great trouble. For the last couple of years, all of my dreams have been dark, misleading, and scary as hell. Sometimes I'm scared to go to sleep, because I don't want to deal with what's in my dreams. And why is that? Because I refuse to face my problems head on in life.

This dream last night, though, scary to say the least, but I think I woke up with a renewed sense of what I had to do and that was letting go of a lot of negative things/people in my life. Things/People that are not making me happy and I know will never make me happy. Definitely not saying people are bad and they're intentions are bad, but some people you REALLY have to love from a distance.

In my dream, there was this woman who was in grave danger and she knew she was in danger, but she just refused to leave the situation that she was in. Call it being stubborn, I don't know, but I was really concerned for her. I couldn't help but ask myself why won't she leave if she knows it's going to kill her? Because she was scared. Scared of what she'd have to face if she left what she thought was comforting her.

I begged and I pleaded for her to come, but she wouldn't. Crazy, it wasn't until the last second of my dream, when the negativity was certainly about to kill her, that she made the conscience decision on her own to come with me to safety. When I grabbed her hand to pull her in my car, I realized that she was me. I felt very relieved when it hit me that I do have the strength to leave, to walk away, or to no longer entertain the comforts that I thought were making me happy. I woke up with my feelings all over the place, damn near tears, because I knew exactly what I had to do, and that was simply to LET GO! I'm gone let God handle my stress/worries from now on.

MzJetsoninEffect.Com
