Diary Of A SixFoota....

Have you ever stepped into something and thought WOW what a beautiful blessing and then it almost seems to turn to a nightmare? I have just recently had a trial experience. Started a brand new job.. Got back in the hair game! Was missing it, so I said to myself I needed to walk in it! Now I don't know if you know this about me or not but I'm the type that never meets a stranger. I'm super friendly and if a person doesn't like me it's because I didn't want them to. Simple enough right? So any who... This totally awesome environment that I ended up in was just everything to me until I started to realize that the owner was a bit of a fraud. The first thing that happened was that I found out she was cheating me in pay. Then I noticed she couldn't recognize her own fault. Then I noticed she didn't seem to like the fact that my co-stylists and I got along SUPER well! There is always lots of love and laughs!!! The even crazier part of it all was that rather tha

Yes, I said I had to learn to be grateful! I grew up a brat! My grandmother used to call me "Poor Little Rich Girl"... I acted like I was entitled to all the everythings that I had! Lookin back on my childhood I wish I had been more grateful or that at the very least I learned to be grateful a hell of a lot sooner than I had. Being grateful is more than saying thank you, it's an action you have to actually mean! Meaning that once you've accepted any gift (not necessarily material) you are appreciative and not on your way to talk trash about it. You've actually absorbed it and ready to process what's been given, in a positive manner. Boy have I grown. This hit me like a ton of bricks!! Me being ungrateful goes back so far it's almost like insanity to me! When I was married I was never grateful, I was a brat the entire time. If it wasn't my way then it was def a problem. Even when he was trying by giving me things, I was ungrateful... I acted as if he ow

Hey all... I haven't had much to say by way of relationships in a while, mainly because everyone and everything is so different these days. Things evolve and views change. It becomes a "to each his own" situation. We spoke some about this on The Wine Down and my basic opinion is whatever it is you choose to be, make sure that your doing it because it makes you happy... not because you want to please whomever you're with. It needs to be a win win or else you're losing... #thatisall       With that being said, I'd like to touch on a specific kind of relationship. How do you all feel about being "kept"? When I say this I mean, being in a relationship that's basically a business arrangement. You trade sex and company for financial gain. The older I get the more I start to be aware of what goes on around me and the reality is, there a lot of kept people in this world... and it's not just women being kept either if that's what your thinking!

This year I feel like Black History has been a joke. All those "first n*gga to" pix have really got me feeling some type of damn way! Then Nicki Minaj's dumbass releases her album cover and she uses an historical picture of Malcolm X with the title "Lookin A** *igga"... REALLY!!! I'm so flippin disgusted! And I've already touched on Zimmerman's simple antics... Then the verdict in the trial of Michael Dunn oh and then I read yesterday that yet another brown face baby has been shot by a white man while playing outside!!! And all of this going on during a time when we are supposed to be being celebrated as a people! We only get 28 days to celebrate the pioneers that paved the way for not just us, but everybody, to have the smallest of luxuries! Someone actually said to me "I think we should do away with Black History Month, look at what a joke it's become!" I was also told that I should lighten up because it's not that serious! Guess

Once again Zimmerman has found a way to make himself relevant and make fools out of black people. I completely understand why one would want to whoop his ass, but this attention is giving him power he doesn't deserve! He murdered one of our children in cold blood, and rather than ignoring his antics we help build this animal. When will this madness end? There's always someone in the back hollering BLACK PRIDE and that's the same idiot who wants to jump in the ring and lay hands on the devil. Wake up people, this is a gimmick!! Why support a man who not only hates us, but got away with the murder of one of us!! This situation truly makes me sick and I just wanted to speak on it!!!

What in the name of home training is wrong with the female species these days... Why do you heifas think that its ok to not be able to cook, clean, or carry a conversation?? I have a news flash for you... the fellas are definitely checking for the ladies with their stuff together! I mean seriously, just think about it for a second. If you don't want a dude who ain't sh*t, what makes you think he want a chick who ain't sh*t?? He may watch you twerk, he may hang out, but a man knows whether or not he wants to be with you right from the start and if you're only doing what every other female he knows is doing, he's gonna treat you accordingly! I guess this could be counted as some sort of PSA because the rate of females out here making asses out of themselves is astounding! I probably don't need to say anymore but I'm gonna! It's necessary to know how to do more than roll a blunt. If you want to be on his arm then you better be able to lady yourself up a bit

Funeral selfies.... Let me tell you people something, There couldn't be anything more inappropriate!!! I personally think that technology has made folks quite ignant!!! And YES, I said ignant! I mean for some, this is a time of mourning and here your ignant self comes snapping pix of yourself in front of a casket. A funeral is not a photo op, it's the time when you say farewell... And your last pic and or memory of them really shouldn't be them laid in that pine box! Now all I need is for someone to explain to me why this is supposed to be ok? Not only is this tacky but it's also disrespectful and not very considerate of the dead or the bereaved (that means absence of a loved one for those who don't read)!!! There was a time back in the day that the family would have a photo taken of their dearly departed for the family album. The photo only included the deceased. Wasn't looked at as an opportunity to throw up gang signs, pour a little bit out for the brothas th

So I'm thinking of starting a food blog in the New Year! I'm ready to have more new beginnings... Cooking is one of my many hats and through much encouragement I've finally got my head wrapped around sharing all the yummies I prepare!! There was a time when I thought cooking was just common sense, but as we all know sense ain't common... Nor is the ability to pull off even the simplest of dishes. I sometimes sit and wonder where I got this love of food, I definitely didn't start off this way. I could barely boil water and my first pot of greens had bugs floating in it! LOL! My idea of a home cooked meal was some heavily over seasoned hamburger helper. So as much as I would love to sit here and tell you that I've always aspired to be this GREAT chef and that I've been cooking since I was 2, I can't! Most of my creativity spills out into a lot of delicious food! I hope you guys enjoy my yum, yums!
