Tunechi’s back! Tunechi’s back! Running for re-election so fast like he’s chasing crack!

I’m sure you know Lil’ Tunechi aka Gollum aka Lil’ Wayne. But there is a man that has spoken harder words and has run the city of Washington, DC. A man that has many enemies and friends. The original gangsta Big Tunechi aka Political Pimp aka Marion Barry.

Broham is running for re-election for the Ward 8. DC LOVES Marion Barry so I won’t be surprised WHEN he wins because dude runs a certain sector of this city. I know there are many of you out there that just don’t get how a confessed crackhead can continue to prosper in politics and to that I say its WASHINGTON.

I’m not saying that Marion Barry hasn’t done great things for the city but doing great things doesn’t cancel out the bad things. I know he works to help the less fortunate but I think in many ways he helps to keep those same people on the system versus pushing them to get the skills toward independence. He’s just doing what our Federal elected officials do so I guess its the norm but its still uncool.

At 75, Marion Barry’s been a fixture in this city long enough to make it hard for this city to progress past his scandal. I think if he wants to do the city a real service he should step aside and allow some new blood into Ward 8. Barry can continue to work with the city but in a diminished capacity because ultimately it helps everyone get what they need.

No matter what good luck to you Mr. Barry but its not like you need it though.

Merry to all and ho, ho, ho (I plan to…)

School isn’t what it used to be when I was a kid. This is something I’ve known for a long time when it comes to public education in America. In an attempt to teach critical thinking, leadership, independent thought they have created a mass of confusion.

Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t all bad. The public school system has many great teachers, schools and equipment to educate and inspire children into great adults. I work closely with my local schools all the time so I know they do good things. And today they showed me they can do GREAT things.

Last week I received a call from one of my kid’s teacher regarding some issues he’s seen in his class and he’s spoken with her other primary teachers and asked me to come in for a meeting. This meeting was about sitting with my kid as a group and talk about expectations, set goals, talk about why she hasn’t always made the right decisions, and how we can support her to help her succeed in the future. This is something these teachers did on their own time because they see that she can do what’s required at all times but that she also has a support system there to hold her accountable when she doesn’t meet expectations.

How did we get to this point? Well I make it my business to be in constant contact with the teachers of my children. I want to know if they are doing good or bad. You can report to me daily, weekly or monthly as long as you report some information. I support those same teachers when something is requested of me. Staying in constant communication makes it clear to my kid that whatever is needed to help her succeed will be provided so she has no excuse not to excel.

Thank you to the teachers who want so much for her to excel and are helping every step of the way in reaching the goal.

Ever been attacked by bad breath? Breath so hard that it pushes you away? This breath is always connected to a person that has something to tell you that they don’t want anyone else to hear. Someone save me…

If you don’t mind killing few brain cells with television a few nights a week I suggest you checkout Real Housewives of Atlanta and Love & Hip Hop. It won’t require you to pay attention nor care but it is a good way to cap the weekend or end a long Monday.

Checkout my recap of Real Housewives of Atlanta and Love & Hip Hop. Enjoy!

Can you believe its already Thanksgiving? It came soooooo quickly. This is the time of year that you should reflect on your life and recognize why you should give thanks.

I have so much to be thankful for in my life such as my family, friends, career, and my health. This will be a drama-free day with good food and wine.

Please enjoy this day and give thanks for everything. Any drama you had before today just leave it at the door and have a good time.

On Monday, November 14th the final episode of Basketball Wives LA and Love & Hip-Hip Season 2 was full of drama, heels, and bad weaves. Check out my review of the drama and my opinion of it all.

There are a few moments that remind me that I’m older and its a whole new world. One of those moments is when icons from my youth die. It becomes a sad day for me.

On Monday, November 7th the world lost one of the greatest boxers in the world Joe Frazier. He lost his battle with cancer at his home in Philadelphia. Boxing is one of the few sports that I actually enjoy and Mr. Frazier is one of the best.

You WILL be missed and your contribution will never be forgotten.

The next death I heard about this week was hip-hop legend Heavy D. Listening to his music brings me back to some special moments from 90′s. When I was driving in the car on Tuesday I kept hearing Heavy D music on every station and assumed it was his birthday or some other event but I knew it was out of the ordinary. Not because Heavy doesn’t have great music but because Heavy isn’t in the rotation with this stale stuff that’s now being called ‘music’. The DJ breaks through and announces that Heavy D was no longer with us and I sat there with my mouth wide open in disbelief.

You WILL be missed brother in so many ways. Thank you for your contribution you will never be forgotten.

72 days ago a big event happened. Well not really a big event an important event. Well not really an important event but an event that was considered must-see tv. Not really a must-see tv moment because you knew it wouldn’t last but…okay let me get to it…Kim Kardashian got married. Big whoop!

Before I dig into this mess of a ‘marriage’ I want to dig into why the marriage happened.

Kim K. says she got married for love. One would have to believe that Kim knows what love is but considering she’s in love with a new man every year you figure she’s got love confused with strong like. I think she got married because she needed to do something with a meaning. Kourtney had a baby. Khloe got married. What’s Kim up to? Posing for pictures and selling Sketchers.

I realize that Kim makes a lot of money but money doesn’t give you everything you want. You can’t buy love nor happiness and ultimately that seems to be what Kim’s chasing. But happiness does NOT equal marriage. I’m not speaking against marriage I’m an advocate for it and I’m married. What I’m saying is Kim needs to focus on being happy and that may be being in love or without it. Being married or in a committed relationship. Just find some happiness.

When you look even deeper I also think Kim wanted more spotlight. She loves the attention. When and if (I’m looking forward to the day) when she’s no longer relevant I wonder how she and her family will adjust. Kris Jenner just signed Kyle (one of the younger sisters) for her own spin-off show. CLEARLY the Kardashian’s have nothing to hide but I sure wish they would keep SOME THINGS a little closer to home.

So now that you know why it happened let’s discuss the most important question. Why did the marriage happen?

Attention.

Kim says she married for love but she NEVER said she was IN love with Kris. I love my cats but I won’t marry them. I love chocolate but I don’t love it enough for a long-term commitment. I don’t think I could marry someone that I just love because when it gets tough I’ll remember I’m not IN love with you so my first thought would be, ‘I don’t have to do this shit!’ Wonder if Kim had the same thought. One thought we know she didn’t have was, ‘Why am I rushing to get married?’

Kim and Kris also didn’t ‘court’ much before getting engaged and then married. How do I know if I want to spend the rest of my life with you if I’m still trying to get to know you? The purpose of dating is you get to learn each other and you FINALLY learn the real person and not the representative. Dating is fun. Being engaged is fun. Getting married is REALLY fun. BEING married is an entirely different beast.

After making this huge deal of her wedding she now hit the media circuit explaining she did marry for love but circumstances forced this decision. She’s even hurt that people think would marry for any reason other than love. What were we supposed to think? Love really didn’t enter the equation because Kim’s in ‘love’ so much I started to figure she really didn’t know what love was and was just chasing a fantasy. Maybe if Kim dealt in reality a little more and slowed down and just dated and tried a long-term situation that could possibly lead to marriage. While a quickie romance that leads to marriage is a great story its not the usual outcome so just slow your roll.

Now that Kim is going to return to the single life, I wonder how long before she’s on to the next one. You know what they say. The best way to get over your old man is to get under a new one.
