You ever hear a song and think to yourself, "that song came on just for me". The funny thing about that thought is, there were eight other songs played before that one. But somehow we (at least I) tend to forget that little fact and can only focus on the song that is being played just for me. SMH. It is not like I just turned on the radio or played a CD and the song came on with a dj anouncing, "Sharon, this song is for you and will help you through this time of ___(fill in blank). I not only do this with songs, I do this with quotes I stumble on or a story, or whatever else I come across that "fit" into my situation. It just amuses me so much at my silliness. If only it were so easy. If only when I am standing at a crossroad in life . . . a song or quote could tell me what to do. Instead, I find myself (for days even weeks) wondering which road to take.

I am a jealous person. So, I am struggling with trying to understand the concept of an open marriage. I need believers of this type of relationship to explain it to me in toddler terms. I am talking about two people who are so in love with one another they get married (which I thought was a commitment . . .call me old fashion)then go off and get sidepieces. First, off I would never enter into this type of relationship and if my man were to suggest it . . I would suggest he get up out my bed and get going. I just don't get it. What about STD's and unwanted pregnancies? And like I said I am a jealous vindictive person. Let say I have by some round the bout way agreed to this type of relationship. Only with the understanding I never see or hear anything about her. Then, one day I see this woman. She is not only beautiful, but she got a banging body. Next morning. Him: "Honey, could you bring me a glass of juice?" Me: "I tell you what. You want some juice, ride your ...

The news and gossip sites have been filled lately with side pieces seeking their 15 minutes of fame. Riddle me this? When did it become acceptable to be the mistress? When did we start offering the mistress more empathy than the wife? Yeah, I made a comment when Tiger's harem was found out about, "She had to know". I mean come on . . . what?. . .15 women and she never smelled the fishiness on him? I felt she choose to ignore the obvious. Come on ladies, admit it . . we will ignore seeing the obvious faults in our relationships when we got love in our eyes. But, then the porn star had the nerve . . . the 'don't my twat mean something' audacity to be on television with her 'I hate men' lawyer, and demand an apology. *DEAD* She deserves an apology like I need another voice talking in my head (wish they stop). I digress. They done set the women's rights movement back 10 years Don't get it twisted homegirl, you are nothing more than a piece on the s...

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad Why's it feel so good? When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad Why's it feel so good? I loved real, real hard once But the love wasn't returned Found out the man I'd die for He wasn't even concerned I tried, and I tried, and I tried To keep him in my life I cried, and I cried, and I cried But I couldn't make it right But I, I loved the young man And if you've ever been in love, Then you'd understand What you want might make you cry What you need might pass you by If you don't catch it, If you don't catch it, And what you need ironically Will turn out what you want to be If you just let it, If you just let it See, I thought this feeling It was all that I had But how could this be love And make me feel so bad? Gave up my power, I existed for you But whoever knew the voodoo you'd do? But I, I loved the young man And if you've ever been in love you'd understand What you want might make you cry...
