HELLO FRIENDS,TODAY I WANT TO BLOG ABOUT NEGATIVITY IN RELATIONSHIPS. TODAY DRIVING IN MY CAR,I TUNED INTO A LOCAL FM RADIO STATION. GENERALLY I WOULD LISTEN TO CD'S OF MY LIKING. I MEAN IF YOU'RE GONNA BE PROGRAMMED,WHY NOT PROGRAM YOURSELF WITH A MUSICIAN WHO HAS INTERESTING OUTLOOKS?LOL. SO ANYWAYS,THIS ONE SONG CAME ON "I LIKE IT" BY SOME NEW SINGER NAMED SEVYEN. I THOUGHT THE BEAT WAS CATCHY. I HAPPEN TO LOVE HER VOICE AND I THINK THAT SHE IS TALENTED AND ATTRACTIVE. BUT I TOOK A CLOSER LISTEN TO THE LYRICS. AND SHE SINGS AND I QUOTE " ONE DAY WE'LL BE IN A CADILLAC-I'LL BE RIDIN' WITH MY SEAT LAID BACK. NEXT DAY I'LL BE BREAKING ALL YOUR WINDOWS,KEYIN' UP YOUR DOORS" IN THE PRE-CHORUS SHE SINGS AND I QUOTE " AND YEAH,WE BREAK UP,I BREAK ALL YO STUFF. THAT'S JUST HOW WE LOVE. WE KEEP IT SO HOOD." NOW LISTENING TO THIS SONG,AS A WOMAN FROM THE HOOD AND OF COLOR,I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE LYRICS. WHY YOU MAY ASK? WELL IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. I DISAGREE WITH THE MENTALITY THAT LOVE HAS TO BE DRAMATIC OR PAINFUL. YES,WHEN WE LOVE SOMEONE,THEY CAN DO THINGS THAT HURTS US EMOTIONALLY. AND I'M SURE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MOST OF US,IF NOT ALL. BUT MY POINT IS THAT LOVE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HURT. AND SHOULD WE PART WAYS WITH OUR LOVE,DOES DAMAGING THEIR PROPERTY OR BECOMING VIOLENT WITH THEM EQUATE TO LOVE? WHY DO SOME PEOPLE,PARTICULARLY URBAN DWELLERS, EMBRACE BADNESS? IF YOU ARE GOOD AND STRIVE TO BE POSITIVE,THEN YOU ARE CONSIDERED A PUNK OR NOT FROM THE HOOD. NOT FROM THE STREETS OR YOU AIN'T BOUT' THAT LIFE. WHY? AND WE WONDER WHY SOME MEN OF COLOR ARE BEING DRIVEN INTO THE ARMS OF WOMEN FROM DIFFERENT PROGENIES , THEY'RE FREAKIN SCARED OF US!! I'VE HEARD MANY AMERICAN MEN OF AFRICAN STOCK,SAY "MAN, BLACK WOMEN ARE CRAZY". AND I WONDERED - WHERE DO THEY GET THESE NOTIONS? HONESTLY, I THINK THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WOULD SING ABOUT COMMITING VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE IN SUCH A GRACEFUL,AUTHORITATIVE MANNER. LOL. MY POINT IS THAT LADIES,WE NEED TO STOP GLAMORIZING ABSURD BEHAVIOR AND THEN WONDER WHY WE CAN'T KEEP A MAN. WE WONDER WHY THEY RUN FROM US!! BESIDES THAT, I LIKE SEVYN AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE FROM HER. I'VE ALSO POSTED THE VIDEO.

"I'm an avid student of life, love, and spirit. My blog isn't about external beauty per se, clothes, fashion, make-up,or even politics. No none of these things!! The articles that I write come from my heart and are about something simple yet complex, rugged yet fragile, dark yet light. Something beautiful yet at times can be ugly. I write about something that all reading this shouldn't take for granted. Life!! Something everlasting yet fleeting." - Shakira Z. Ch'i Peace Always |
