food for thought pt 2

this may ruffle some feathers. i look forward to it.

i was watching a Black in America special on CNN about Debt. interestingly enough, the whole episode was equally about church because Blacks are the most religious/faithful people in America (that's a real statistic - i kinda woulda thought it was Mexicans, but i guess not).

anyhoo. the common theme throughout the episode was that whatever wasn't understood at the moment was put "in God's hands." so it would seem to me that knowledge/information is directly correlated to what gets put in God's hands. and maybe the more you know, the less you have to take out of your own hands.

what say you?

Braids & Beads

I’m willing to bet my favorite cocoa butter lip balm that the
majority of people looking at this picture will laugh. But this isn’t funny. Nor is it tragic, unacceptable, outrageous or any of the words we usually look to when trying to describe an unfortunate situation. Allow me to introduce a more appropriate word: OBSOLETE.

ob-so-lete [ob-suh-leet, ob-suh-leet]
- adjective
1. no longer in general use
2. out of date
3. imperfectly developed or rudimentary in comparison with the corresponding character in other individuals

Synonyms: antiquated, ancient, old.

You don’t wanna be this. It starts with braids and beads. Then comes the throwback jersey, bandana and sunglasses in the club. And it always ends with hitting a waitress over the head with a bottle at Jermaine Dupri’s nightclub and being charged with felony aggravated assault. I know it seems like a far stretch, but the things that seem the most inconsequential often snowball outta control. The LesbiFriends aim to keep you off that slippery slope.

Thank us later.
