More of The Adventures of DANIEL SON!

 

Daniel Love the Kids

My little brother is something else he's bad but he has the biggest heart. So one day my parents are in the den watching TV and my brother comes in with the phone, my Daddy's wallet and snatches the remote and turns the channel. My parents jump up like "Boy what are you doing? We were watching that are you crazy?" Daniel gives the phone and on the receiving end there's a woman saying, "Hello? Hello? How much money did you say you want to donate?" the channel he turned it to was one of the Feed the Children commercials he was dead serious and he said "Look, Look at them Daddy they hungry we have to help them!" Well, Daniel was about four then and every time a commercial came on he would dial the number bring my Daddy or Mom the phone and one of their credit cards so they could help feed the children. What parent in their right mind would turn a kid down? 

Daniel says "Just throw it in the bag!" 

One day Daniel went grocery shopping with My Aunt and Uncle. For some odd reason Daniel was extremely happy to go shopping. He kept asking My Aunt & Uncle what they wanted, what they needed, and if they said no he would ask again, "Are you sure you don't need this, you can get whatever you want." Well, 1/2 listening to Daniel they didn't pay much attention until he started placing his own items in the basket and mumbling to himself what he needed. Well, they get to the register and Daniel says, "Oh, no you guys brought me here so I got this." Whips out a credit card and hands it to the cashier, the cashier looks bewildered and my Aunt says, "Oh, he must have found an old credit card of his parents and was playing with it." She grabs the card and it is not an old card, it's my Daddy's credit card. Hey, Daniel said "Just throw it in the bag!" 

Daniel Love the Homeless too

My Dad and Daniel stopped at the gas station one morning they were kinda in a rush and my Daddy only had just enough money for the gas and his morning coffee. Well, on the way in there was a homeless man next to the door, you know like almost every gas station in Detroit, and Daniel said,"Awww Dad he hungry we hafta help him." My Dad was in a rush and 1/2 way listened to Daniel he paid the amount for the gas but forgot to get his coffee. Well, on the way back in as my Daddy and Daniel head back in to get the coffee my brother blurts out, "Excuse me sir, excuse me sir, my Dad has something he wants to present to you." (and he said it like present like a demonstration) He looks over at my Daddy and says, "Dad give him the money." My Dad is a good man so he felt as though he had to give the homeless man his last and he did. Needless to say my Dad didn't have his coffee that morning.

"Uu Huh Dad You DID SAY THAT!"

Years ago my Mother had an at home daycare. And my Daddy's biggest pet peeve would be when he's in a rush and one of the daycare parents blocked him in the driveway. Well, this particular day my Dad was rushing and long behold one of the most talkative daycare parents pulled in right behind him blocking him in. Well, My dad looked thru the rearview mirror and said, "Aww man there go Shay's Momma, I wish she would move her old nasty looking flappy booty out the way, I gotta go!" Now the lady had been losing a lot of weight. Tsk Tsk Tsk why would he say that and Daniel was in the car. Daniel slides the van door open jumps out the car and without warning blurts out, "My Dad said move your nasty flabby booty out the way he gotta go!" My Dad hops out the van and the Parent asks, "Huh? Daniel what you say" Daniel repeats, "My Dad said move your nasty flabby booty out the way he gotta go!" My Dad embarrassed as all get out says, "Daniel don't sit there and lie you know I did not say such a thing!" Daniel says, "Uh huh, Dad YOU DID SAY THAT, YES YOU DID, YES YOU DID!" 

SMH My Lil Brother is something else...

"Wait 'til I get my MONEY RIIIGGGHHHTTT!!!" Let's SAVE & get DEBT~FREE!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen let's stop playing and get out LIVES IN ORDER 1st stop SAVING MONEY & being DEBT FREE! #Leggo!

No matter how hard we wish upon a star Money does not grow on trees!

                                                      

When you know better you DO BETTER! Let's stop playing games with our finances!

Now everyone knows in this messed up economy it's hard to swim above water. But do know that some people are swimming above water. It is not impossible! Don't believe the hype! It all starts with a CHOICE! We decide on what we spend OUR MONEY on! Instead of paying $20 to go to the club get there earlier or don't go at all, that $20 can go toward gas, food or a bill. We have to start being smart and practical with our $. Now I know we may see our parents or grandparents struggling but we need to capitalize on there problems and make our own solutions. Learn from others mistakes. Saving money isn't that hard when you prioritize and separate your NEEDS vs. WANTS. We're thinking about our future here and no one wants to get married and be in debt because of their partner!

Now there are all types of small things that you can do to get on the path of being a better steward over your money. First, take it to God pray over all of your bills and your financial situation. If you go to church pay your 10% first. After that, you can set up a direct deposit, like I do, that goes directly into a savings account every check (it can be to another bank or credit union, where you don't have an atm card if you are tempted to dip in your stash). Don't deposit more than you can afford you may even want to start small, $25, $50, $100, $150 what ever works well for you. Look how fast that adds up and you won't even notice it's gone. You can also set up automatic payments for certain bills every month, this makes it easier and less stressful to remember what bills to pay and what days, it can save $20, $30 late fee charges, those add up. A friend of mine every time he breaks a bill and has spare change he places it in a tin, you would be surprised how much change you can rack up. Also, whenever he breaks a bill he puts the dollars in a shoe box. Now that works extremely well for him you may want to start off slow and do one and then gradually get in place a system that works well for you.

Some small tips that may also work well for you:

• When you go shopping make a list and stick to it!
• Sell some of you old clothes to Plato's Closet, what they don't want give to the less fortunate
• Drink more water
• Cut out on fast food or restaurants and COOK
• Take lunch and only buy lunch on Fridays or whatever day you prefer
• Clean you car filter, hey it can save up to 7% in gas TRUST LOL
• Buy things on Sale, Look for deals
• When grocery shopping utilize the coupons
• Carpool
• Go over your cell bill and if you don't use it drop it
• Go over you cable bill pick the best plan for you
• Check with your job for discounts on your phone, car insurance etc
• Always sign up for reward cards, they help
• Don't indulge in Emotional Shopping (I NEED HELP WITH THIS ONE...LOL)
• Always keep an emergency fund, you never know!
• Start a 401K or IRA if you don't understand go to your employer for help

This are just some small tips that can surprisingly help you save a nice amount of $. If need be, you may have to get a part-time job, whatever floats your boat. But you have to get in control, make a plan, set your goals and be disciplined, determined, patient and consistent in order for you to be successful with this. It won't be easy, nor fun, but it will be worth it in the end. I personally keep a small notebook in my purse and write down everything. From my list of what food, clothes, and bills I have to pay, to things I have to do and little inspirational quotes. Writing things down helps me tremendously. Also it's good to set exact timelines of your goals. So when you meet your mark you can feel a sense of accomplishment. Set aside rewards for yourself when you meet your goals. Self motivation is important. Seeing your goals daily may inspire you. So get a dry erase board and/or push pin board, I have both, so you can see you progress, document it! There are many books and classes that can help you and teach you how to save money and become debt free. Go to your local library and research. This is your life it's up to you to make the necessary changes for you to live your best life. It's best to start young and single, let's get our lives together! I want to retire early and see the world. So today marks the day of the rest of our lives, let's make it happen. Financial stability is rare nowadays, let's work on adding another notch on our belt! You talking a HOT COMMIDITY...lol..."Wait 'til I get my moneyyyyy riiiiighttttttt, then you can't tell me nothing riiiiighttttt!" 

XOXOXO, Princess Nikki

Steadily Approaching: The Season of "The Seasonal BOO"!

I really wonder why when it becomes Fall everyone wants a 'Boo'. Like seriously what is up with that? As soon as the last hot day comes everything slows down and people, guys and girls alike grab their phone and call or text the one they meet over the summer that they were feeling the most. Lol I have some questions about this:

I wonder when did this start?
When was the first Seasonal Boo?
Does this happen in states where it's warm all year?
If the seasonal Boo makes it to the next Summer is this now our man or woman?
What are the qualifications of being a Seasonal Boo & what makes you graduate LOL to boyfriend/girlfriend status?
Do the seasonal Boo's go to Holiday events?
Do they meet the family?
Do you have more than one Seasonal Boo?
Does the Seasonal Boo know that they are indeed the Seasonal Boo?
Do you back track to the Seasonal Boo of last year if you don't have a new Seasonal Boo?

Help me with this one sign up with a Google account and add to this list or better yet answer some of the question...*COMMENT*

Just things that make you go "Hmmmmm"

Hood BBQ to Chen Chow in Birmingham & the KISSING COUPLESSS!

So for approximately the past 2 months I have been immobile, well my life has been put on PAUSE, as I call it, due to the recent illnesses I have been going thru (read my 25 things about me...or my about me). This Saturday I just couldn't take it in any longer, I have been at my parents house, because I can't stay alone due to the illnesses, too long and I feel like a kid or something. So Saturday I decided to break all the rules I HAD to! I was doing something if it killed me...hmmm maybe wrong choice of words. So I hit my bestie up like I can't take it I think I am losing my mind, what are you doing today? She stated her homeboy from the block was having a birthday BBQ at his crib and I said our homeboy from college was having a get together in Birmingham for his birthday. This was a tuffy, how do we dress for a BBQ in the hood then dinner in Birmingham? Hilarious right? Well, we both pulled it off we were just over dressed for the BBQ. I wasn't going to be slipping in Birmingham Oh not I, or her...not We! LOL So she was going to come and scoop me. *Doom Doom DOOM! How am I going to tell my parents I'm leaving when they are super over protective over me because of my circumstance. I found some cute clothes to wear, did my hair and paced the floor a couple times thinking how am I going to tell them I'm going to be gone and their not invited to make sure their Princess is ok LOL. I'm like man forget this I'm a grown *bleep* woman lol. I went into the family room as they watch "Why did I get married too" and just said "Ummmm, Vanilla about to come get me and I'm going to some birthday dinners today." You should have saw their face LMBO, they both stared for a second hesitated then said 'okay' I know they didn't want to allow me to go but HEY I'M GROWN...lol I WAS FREEEEEE! I felt so good Vanilla scooped me and we were on our way.

Hood BBQ

The BBQ was close to both of our old hoods funny we grew up blocks away from each other and didn't know each other. Well, ol' boys family was HILARIOUS! I mean they had me in tears laughing. They were cool people. Happy they didn't treat us funny because we were over dressed, you know how people are, but they were real smoove, cool people. Kids playing, laughing, being bad, they had the game of spades going and they food was on point. We chilled over there for several hours as I sat there thinking this will be the last BBQ I go to for the summer, fall is steadily approaching. Well, we left there and went over one of her guy friends house and he invited his boy over. We chilled laughed and kicked it for a few. It may not sound like much to you but try being in the hospital for two weeks and at your parents crib for 2 months then talk to me LOL. I was having a blast!

CHEN CHOWS

We slid out of there and headed back to my parents house to freshen up and then headed to Birmingham.  Chen Chow is right on Old Woodward in the little happening part of Birmingham. It was so nice out. Everyone in their expensive rides and going out clothes, it actually reminded me of a scene in a movie, cute. So Vanilla and I stepped out looking fly we fit right in LOL. We headed in Chen Chow our boy flagged us over they were at he bar shoot we were HUNGRY, we wasn't messing with that but we were gonna show him some love we go way back! Well, there was a group of girls at the bar with them and you know what that means stares, glares and a touch of hating. I really don't get women SMH. So I was my friendly self looked over smiled spoke, they got me twisted I am 25 years old no one intimidates me. We talked kicked it with our boys for a while man I had missed them. Ya'll don't understand when we were in college these were our homies, like 100 grand! The females got a little upset and scurried over to a booth with a huff clearly we stole their attention SMH it never fails. So Vanilla and I told our friends we were going to get a table and EAT! As we were seated by the hostess we got a chance to look around the place NIIICCCEEE! I think I will be back. The staff were dressed in all black, lights were dim had a nice lil playlist playing, great atmosphere and the best part it reminded me of a movie. We open the menu and I look puzzled, ummm excuse me I don't eat sushi...LOL The waiter a cute white guy came to the table flirting and full of jokes he was cool and welcoming. We needed more time, well I did, Vanilla knew she wanted the Tempura Sushi:

Me on the other hand wanted to play it safe, vegetable fried rice with chicken it was...LOL

As Vanilla and I scanned the place we see all sorts of funny things. A Bachelorette and her girls out celebrating, guys & girls mingling, and then we spot the first couple. Snuggled up in a booth the guy is licking the females neck and they are groping each other, drunk all in their little world. Vanilla and I suck our teeth and roll our eyes, I mean this was a ridiculous display of PDA. Like seriously GET A ROOM. I was thinking when your black out at a place like this you don't want to give a bad impression. As soon as I thought that I spotted the fake Jessica Simpson with the too blonde du and her beau tonguing down his hand half way up her skirt and I said welp at least they aren't the only ones. Well, through out dinner our friends came back and kicked it with us, took pictures had some laughs. All the while both couples were still heavily at it! Like I wish I took pictures LOL...
I almost felt uncomfortable because we were in the middle of them both although they weren't right next to us they were close enough. And the white couple kept making eye contact with me, like obvious eye contact I still don't know what that was about. Vanilla and I joked about what the couples were probably saying and why the young black girl had to go to the ladies room every five seconds. And as soon as she did her beau would grab is phone and text away. Man we thought this was hilarious. I guess she had one too many drinks because it looked as that was all they were doing, getting their Drank on LOL. Vanilla and I had a really good time and it was great to see our homeboys again, it had been a minute. Well, we headed to the ladies room and over hear a convo about one of the players for a football team that we kno, how ironic, "ladies ya gots ta be more careful" you never know who people know. We chuckled to ourselves. Life is just too funny sometimes. We headed back to my parents and called it a night. It wasn't much, but it def was FUN TIMES of Chocolate and Vanilla.

XOXOXO Princess Nikki

I graduated w/ a 3.2 which is very low in my standards, was Dean's List recipient several semesters always was a "good girl", never "fast" never pregnant, partied but hey its not my fault I always happen 2 b the life of the party...its jus a gift...LMBO...ne who back 2 the subject. Several months passed I received a Great job and opportunity 2 work for a very popular insurance company (Chi-Ching yea I kno) I was grateful yet that isn't what I went 2 school 4! Well, I chose 2 look @ the glass half full instead of empty, yea I'm USUALLY an optimistic always have been thru out my life...ne who I'm like My Job will pay 4 my Master's Degree and I can use my minor Business to get a Masters in Marketing, Public Administration or Health Services Admin...yea sounds like a plan. Well 8 months in my job I received a promotion woohooo THANK GOD! HE IS 2 GOOD! And it doesn't stop there, My family and I have help found a Church. This right here has been great 2 me as well as my Family! Several of my friends have even joined the church and brought their families Thank God!
OK OK MY POINT: 
My point here is I said that 2 say this: You kno Our plan is not The Plan! What we may want 4 our lives may not b what's in store...it may not be God's Will...right now I would LOVE 2 b working on the set 4 a movie along side _______ (fill in the blank w/ ur fav movie director and actor/actress), In my own home, engaged 2 a wonderful man who loves and appreciates me & accepts me flaws and all as I do him, going 2 Church takin care of my ever deserving Grandmother, Brothers, and Parents (it would b hard 2 take care of my Dad he's Superman...lol) & Fam & Friends, relaxin and vaca-in it up BUT I'm here working a 9-5 (kinda...lol) Single, goin 2 church & living w/ my Granny (NOT ANYMORE...I have my own place now), BUT u kno what I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY LIFE & WOULDN'T CHANGE IT 4 THE WORLD! U may be sayin man she's crazy...well if u r then u must not kno WHO MY DADDY IS! HE'S THE ONE WHO SITS HIGH & LOOKS LOW! THE KING OF ALL KINGS! THE ALPHA & OMEGA! THE BEGINNING & END...HE'S MY LORD AND SAVIOR AND I AM HEIR 2 HIS KINGDOM! I HAVE FAITH 100% WHOLEHEARTED UNDESTRUCTIBLE, UNBREAKABLE FAITH! And where ever he leads me I humbly follow no questions asked because of my FAITH! Plus, he has Blessed me w/ the Best Family Everrrrrrrrr, Friends and Spritual Family a Girl...well WOMAN ;) can ask 4! 

So 2 the people who Stole my Car, the people who Tried 2 Steal My Heart (purposely or not...lol), My Joy, all the powers working against ME u can't have "it" because I am NOT URS 2 HAVE I DON'T BELONG 2 U and these mere Materialistic things can b taken in a second, that plastic and metal car means NOTHING 2 me! And Still I Rise Baybeeee...THERE NOTHIN STOPPIN ME...NOTHIN! BECAUSE OF WHO I BELONG 2! MY GOD! & UR GOD if u allow him 2 be! I am COVERED & ANOINTED! And what better time than now 2 b...look @ this world we live in! These are very sad times, lonely, depressing, ppl are hurtin and the only way they kno how 2 cope is 2 hurt others, but that is not the way. Its said, "Love sees w/ the heart, thinks w/ the soul & grows as it is GIVEN AWAY!" these FOOLS out here r SO CONFUSED & IGNORANT! People GOD IS THE ONLY WAY & 2 GET 2 HIM U HAVE 2 GO THRU HIS 1 & ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS! WAKE UP! PLEASE! Christian can have FUN 2 ya kno...and Christians AREN'T Prefect (read my poem on my about me) but a CHRISTIAN is what I am and PROUD OF IT! 

Ne who u can have the WORLD & ALL ITS EVILNESS bcuz in the end u still won't b filled, ne body can b "Happy" which is SOOO circumstantial, flaky, tempormental, which can last 4 a mere second so u can have happiness...I want JOY! The only JOY THAT COMES BY WAY THE MAN UPSTAIRS! I'm in the world but I'm NOT OF THIS WORLD! 

And kno that once u make that life changing decision it won't b easy because Clearly the devil is after me nonstop @ 200mph but I laugh in the face of satan bcuz he still can't take my Joy! He stole my car 1x, attempted 2 break into it 3xs 4th times the charm huh, cuz the last time he stole it again, Hurtin my heart whew that ones a tuffy! My near death experience w/ that ton tree *smh*, Havin my Dads surgery go a lil complicated (BUT GOD!), ne who the list goes on but no pith party here bcuz that's jus life EVERY1'S goin thru itim not exempt so I WON'T COMPLAIN (I love that song...lol) Ne who u get the point BUT STILL I RISE! WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE & MY BIBLE CLOSE 2 MY HEART! 

I jus want EVERY1 out here who's goin "THRU" 2 kno that GOD will c u thru...jus BELIEVE and have FAITH! I DO! :) GOD BLESS! :)

"Next Time for MY HUSBAND & not that N**** I call MY FRIEND!"

OK there seems to be an issue with this BLOG PLEASE go to 2010 or September Archives and scroll down to find the VIDEO it's untitled BUT IT IS THIS STORY, that is where this post is located for some odd reason I have to figure out how to make a title and embed a video in at the same time! I'm new to this WORK WITH ME! PLEASE FIND IT AND READ...GREAT READ TRUST ME!!!!!


XOXOXO, Princess Nikki


Its right below this SCROLLLLL DOWN! (but make sure you are in Sept Archives!)

I found this video browsing the net available on Youtube Dana Gilmore. I saw it years ago but this time it HIT HOME! Ladies I know you will FEEL her!

***Message contains some VULGER LANGUAGE Viewer Discretion is advised!***
I don't agree with all of the LANGUAGE but listen to THE MESSAGE! 


"Next Time for MY HUSBAND & not that N**** I call MY FRIEND!" 


Ladies, Ladies, Ladies how many times have you found yourself cooking, cleaning, loving, taking care of mentally, physically & sometimes financially a MAN, allegedly. Now I am NOT a MAN BASHER at all, I LOVE MEN! I am no where near an angry black woman, I'm actually ALL SMILES! But the TRUTH is THE LIGHT! I have GREAT examples of men in my life, and what a REAL MAN is. Thank you Daddy, Granddaddy, all of my Uncles & even my younger Brother. So let's get that straight. However, there's this thing that men (and women) use affectionately called GAME! But see we use this game differently. There's a saying, that says something about a man can fake an entire relationship (I see you ladies throwing your hand in the air, falling back on the couch...yea you feel me...LOL). You can be with a man for umpteen years and not technically have the "title" (plays Ciara "The Title" in the background...I'm literally playing it...click the red links to go to the sites...lol anywho). This leaves your man, boo, hubby, pookie, booboo freedom to do what he wants, when he wants and with whom he pleases, because technically *inserts Dumb Guy voice* "We just friends". Now this makes an average sane woman GO CRAZY and they always calling us crazy. Well, if we are crazy it's because they drove us crazy with all the drama and bull that they put us through. They expect us to play all the wifey roles with no problems, hesitation or complaints, yet they can't even commit to a title? (& even with a title it's still not right). See here is the problem ladies WE NEED TO STOP GIVING UP THE MILK FOR FREE! Point blank period. You already know the saying "Why buy the cow if the milk is free?" That's old school, but that's a FACT! I think we need to start going back old school on these no good so and so's. You will 'court' me, yes you Marcus Johnson (made up name sorry if ya know him or its you...ma bad LOL)! We are talking about dates, yes real dates, not you coming to my house to chill and we order pizza. Nooooo Nooooo buddy you driving SIDENOTE I HATE to see a woman escort her man around all the time like she's a Taxi Nooooo you the man you drive most of the time! Ok, back to the courting. You will pick me up, take me to a combination of the following: a nice restaurant, movies, put put golfing, laser tag, some type of fun activity, museum, or *insert you nice date idea*. Then, we will repeat several dates before you step foot into my living quarters. No "chilling" "I just want to be with you girl", "the movies not intimate", "you one of those girls?", "you a golddigger?" No sir I am a LADY and I deserve to be treated as such. You can go over Shantriniece house if you just want to "CHILL". We have to raise our standards. We are the WOMEN! WE HAVE THE POWER! When we demand respect the man has no choice than to give it or back away like a cowardly lil boy. Heck, if he does that he's saving us our time, and tears anyway because he can't handle YOU! Women what happen? When did we stop knowing our worth? 


I know it is hard to "compete" with the hood rats of the world. They are easily impressed and give everything they have away so easy. The men don't have time for the CHALLENGE of a REAL WOMAN, but if we have to compete, he not worth it anyway! A real man will respect your guidelines and enjoy the thrill of something new, exciting, the chase! I have a lot of platonic male friends and ladies are giving away the goods first, second time chilling, yes I said chilling. Women where are your values? Don't you see yourself as more than what's in between your legs? Because if you haven't noticed EVERY FEMALE has one including dogs! That is not what makes you special and unique and your tricks you think you have probably not that sweet...LOL...I'm sorry I had to laugh at that one. 


We give our ALL to these boys in men's clothing and when they act a fool we looked confused. Come on nah' My Beautiful Sistah Girlfiend (lol), you already knew what it was, we were blessed with Women's Intuition, and that you can bet your last dollar on! It is 99.9% accurate, don't play! Now, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything new. Well, if you said I'm not why are you continuously making the SAME FOOLISH mistake over and over and over again? Riddle me that? Now one time shame on him, two times he may have slid through the cracks GOOD GAME...he just had good game...LOL...BUT the third time you need to be smacked & you deserved it! LOL We are too smart to allow these men to play these childish games. DO we not forget who started these games EVE baybee she seduced Adam to eat that fruit she had the POWER! Now granted she used it for evil (matta' fact I got a couple words for Eve when I get to Heaven...LOL), but we have the power to use it for good! 


Do you know everything a man does is to get a WOMAN?!?!?! If we made the qualifications different to get US, they would have no other option than to change to our new standards! Why is that so hard to comprehend? Ladies we need to seriously DO SOMETHING! *wife off John Q voice. 


No more will I compromise my integrity, morals, values, Christianity for a man who doesn't have enough RESPECT for me to at the VERY LEAST give me "The Title" and that's just prelude to bigger and better thangs the RANG! *insert Beyonce's 'Single Ladies'* That's the whole point anyway. Why are we dating, kicking it, chilling if your intentions aren't to make me your WIFE one day anyway?!?! Boy BOOM! I have no time for you to be wasting my precious time! 


Ms. Gilmore said a couple things that cut me deep: "In my world I was his girl, so I would pretend to be his wife...like I said I was his FRIEND not his WIFE, and I should have acted in that capacity...I wasn't living to my potential or I was just an average chic." 


Man this speaks VOLUMES! First, I'm not anybodies average chic...LOL...But we as women have to know our roles. WE DOIN THE MOST! You not his wife stop doing the wifey duties! If we are friends than we do what friends do. See the Bible never spoke of any title besides HUSBAND & WIFE. So technically thats the only REAL TITLE that matters in the eyes of God! 


I'm going to leave on this note: I have NO REGRETS I take everything and stride as Carrie Bradshaw so eloquently said, 

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away. ~Carrie Bradshaw"

So with that being said, "And though it may sound stupid, I would do it all again, BUT Next Time for MY HUSBAND & not that N**** I call MY FRIEND!"

Anywho, this kid LOVED the movie which DJ and I liked it too but we didn't understand because in our opinion it was too dark and drab compared to the original. Well, Daniel became obsessed with this movie bugging my Mom and Dad everyday about it. Well...she was fed up and since the movie wasn't out on DVD yet decided to get "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", the original. BIG MISTAKE! DJ tried to tell her that Daniel was no dummy and he was going to know that they are two completely different movies. Well, she didn't listen. It was a regular day at the parents house when My Mom came in the kitchen all smiles and grinning saying, "Daniellllllll look what I got you!" Daniel then grabbed the DVD out of my mothers hand with a weird look on his face. DJ groaned "ut ol" Daniel went ballistic! "This ain't Willa Wonka BITCH look at the Umpaloompas! Look at the Umpaloompas!" He then threw the DVD down on the kitchen floor and stormed out of the kitchen mumbling to himself. DJ looked over at my mom and burst out laughing saying, "Ma I told you! He not no dummy. Now you've just insulted his intelligence." he then walked out of the kitchen leaving my mother standing there in amazement with her mouth touching the floor. SMH Kids say the DARNEDEST things I tell ya!

Born Again at Meijers???
Another trip to college we go. My ex boyfriend and I would pack up our younger brothers and take them up to college with us for the weekend.Well, this time I decided to take them grocery shopping before we headed over my boyfriends house for a VISIT no shacking up...lol We went to Meijers and I told them they could have whatever they liked, hey just throw it in the bag...LOL Well, as we enter the store Daniel says, "Hey I know this place" DJ and I continued grabbing the shopping cart not paying him any attention of course, I'm sure Mama took him to Meijers before. Well, sporadically throughout the shopping trip he would mumble to himself about remembering this place etc etc. So we're cashing out and he looks at the cashier then at me and says, "I know I used to work here!" DJ and I burst out laughing, thanked the cashier and headed to the car. Well, Daniel continues with his theory, he says, "Yea, I used to work here what's the name of this place?" I say "Meijers" He says, "Yea, that's right My JERS" By this time we are driving down the parking lot DJ slides down in his seat saying "how does he know how to pronounce the J?" with a scared look on his face. To make a long story short Daniel goes on and on about how he worked at Meijers and he got fired for stealing and went to jail, he got in a fight in jail and DIED but "I'M BACK NOW!" he proclaimed. So by this time we are at my town house and I called my ex boyfriend over he's tripping. So my ex takes Daniel in the living room asking him extensive questions and the 3 year old child answers quick and clear as if he is telling the truth. My ex looks at me and says, "If he says a year I'm running out of here!"

These are just a couple of the stories of DANIEL SON...Let's fast forward to present time Today, Daniel gets home from school runs in the family room 1st thing out of his mouth:
Daniel: Hey Mom when you go to the meeting (at his school) are you gonna u put make-up on?
Mom: Sarcastically, "No Daniel I'm not going to wear make-up"
Daniel smacks his lip and storms out the room LOL

Daniel: "You bogus Ma, why would you want to have all his friends ask all those questions, why would you do that to your own son?" In regards to My Mom tagging my 18 yr old brother in the DEXTER & JOY ROAD picture on the internet.

Daniel: "Ma, I'm from the hood too"
Mom: "No you not lil boy"
Daniel: "but I'm more ghetter than you and can fight better than you."

This Boy never cease to amaze me! SMH Make sure you keep up with the Adventures of Daniel Son...

*The GREEN EYED MONSTER*

Galatians 5:26 reads, "Let us not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other." 


Everyone knows who *The Green Eyed Monster* is! JEALOUSY, ENVY and where I'm from we call it "HATING". 


Where is the LOVE? Why can't we as women, black women especially get along? People can say whatever they want, however it's very clear that we as black women can be haters. What's really going on? This really hurts my heart to write, however the truth will set *ME* free...LOL Hey, it is what it is! I have lived 25 (almost 26 in less than a month) years wondering why some women are jealous and hate one another. See, I grew up in a family where the women supported each other, there wasn't sibling rivalry, mother daughter jealousy or any of that nonsense. So when I got into the real world and discovered some of my closet friends having problems with jealousy stemming from their mothers and sister sibling rivalry, or there mother or aunts being jealous of them I couldn't quite comprehend. However, it did explain some of their tendencies. Everyone has ONE even TWO of their close girls that is the most jealous broad you have ever seen. If she's not jealous of YOU, it's one of your other girls. If not then it's Beyonce' or Nicki Minaj or heck Michelle Obama. You know who they are and you roll your eyes and mumble the "here we go again" everytime that GREEN EYED MONSTER appears. Whether it's when you tell her your 'boo' you've been messing around with is now your 'man' or 'boyfriend', you just was promoted at your job, or just bought your first REAL GUCCI you see her HATE flare up and that natural brown eye turn GREEN right before your eyes. You can't believe it, "Why can't she just be happy for me?" you ask your self. Well, first my dear it has nothing to do with you. This chic has some serious issues she must take a personal inventory of herself and find out the root of the problem. You can still love her though but recognize she's 'that girlfriend' and handle her accordingly.


Now I'm just going to discuss THREE major areas I seem to notice the GREEN EYED MONSTER, because that's all I have time to write about, we'd be here ALL NIGHT if I listed them all.


One: Your Love Life


Do you have that one precious friend who no matter what guy you think is cute, like, or date,"He is just not the one for you" in HER opinion? You can be so excited to tell her your new Guyssip (Guy gossip...yea just made that one up...LOL) and she shuts you down everytime. "HIM--Wait Him? Tommy boy? Oh, you know Sharita cousin's sister used to talk to him and he dogged that poor girl out, cheated on her and everythang, I think he burnt her!" Or as soon as he makes you mad and you have to vent she like "Ummm Hmmm, I knew it was something about him, when we played spades he just seemed sneaky." You ladies get the point it's like WOW can you just sometimes listen, every time we talk or vent we aren't looking for an answer from 'Almighty Girlfriend', sometimes we want a shoulder to lean on, a hand to wipe our tears and a girlfriend to just UNDERSTAND us. We as women have to be careful what we tell our 'girlfriends' and sometimes just go straight to GOD! Or the person we have the problem with, can cause our lives a lot of headache and female drama sad but true.


Two: Appearance


Now this is a very touchy subject here. Appearance ranges from physical features you were born with and had no control over to the threads (yea I took it back in my parents era with that one...LOL) you're wearing. I honestly believe that this one stems waaaaay back to slavery days, YES I said slavery days! Are you familiar with Willie Lynch? Well if not search engine him...lol and educate yourself. I'm going to summarize who he was and I'm sure will be discussing him in some of my other blogs. Well, Willie Lynch was a slave master who wanted to preserve the slaves mentality decades after slavery was abolished to destroy the African American race. Seriously, look him up. Basically, he wrote a letter explaining the demise of African Americans and putting older women against the younger women, older men against the younger men, females against the males and light complected slaves against dark. Hence, the "house negros vs field negros" Whew, I so would have been in the field...SMH. 
Here's a link to the famous Willie Lynch Letter http://www.africanamericanimages.com/aai/willie%20lynch.htm
So, this is where some of the deep embedded haterism started from. Also, we inflict this on our children, siblings and ourselves with the jokes, perms we give our three and four year old daughters so they can have straight hair and not walk around looking like a 'pikaneny' or Ceclie from "The Color Purple".  Instead of letting her natural hair breathe and styling her hair without the harsh chemicals and name calling (we do it don't front). The light skinned girls with long hair starting as young as kindergarten age were considered prettier than the darker complected girls, with shorter hair. And there have been studies upon studies that have proven this statement. It's as if we are still in slavery, this deeply saddens me. I never had an issue with my complexion, possible because I was always called "the pretty dark skinned one" OR because my parents instilled self esteem in me at a young age, honestly I believe GOD instilled it in me because as far back as I can remember I thought I was the 'it' (slice of humble pie please...not conceited Confident), but that is the TRUTH. I mean God made me this way I couldn't change it if I wanted to (No MJ jokes plz) Even when I look back in high school and I was skinny, black and four eyed THEN I thought I was 'it'. LOL. I've always had a light skinned Best friend (or lighter than me) and I was cool with that it never bothered me and I NEVER felt inferior. But see I'm just ONE person. Millions of lil brown skin girls feel differently. I still remember my cousin and I laying in bed talking and giggling and it bothered me then that she wanted to have babies with a WHITE man so her baby could be LIGHT SKINNED WITH LONG HAIR. Now at the tender age of 8 that struck a cord with me. And sometimes I wonder will my FUTURE WELLLLL in the FUTURE brown baby feel that way (I typically date brown skinned men although I have NO requirements, LOVE knows NO COLOR, but that's just what's in my archives...LOL). Now I can admit that bothers me, hopefully my baby can have thick skin like his/her momma! I took it in stride My Granny still tells my mom not to joke and call me black this or black that, I know she's just joking. Anywho, I have witnessed and heard people say over and over again, she thinks she's all that because she's light skin, or because she brown skin with long hair etc. Now appearance isn't limited to complexion also ASSETS. The bigger or smaller the breats, booty, legs, thighs and FEET. Yes, that surprised me too but some women can't embrace a 9 1/2 or 10, like myself they want a 7. My opinion hey hey work it out in those big ol feet God blessed you with! I bet somebody out there feetless and would love those boats! (I apologize that was mean but I'm serious though). 


Also, it can be in you outer garments. Whether it be designer or just good quality clothing. Ladies may hate. Yo' girls wonder if you pump faking with your REFUND CHECK (inserts crowd 'oooing and ahhing' ...LOL). You sack chasing (Oh I sound OLD LOL), Doing something strange for a little change or her Stripping at night  or during lunch hour hey, whatever floats ya boat! But seriously you know what I mean your friends counting your money! And not trying to help you from making frivolous mistakes or taking a true personal interest. They HATING point blank period! They just don't want you out shining them. And that's just SAD. But yet it's our reality. 


Three: Status


This one is for the hard working women out here who know the true meaning of WORK and HUSTLING! The women who may have one great paying job that degree worked well for ya. Or the woman who is pursuing her degree and has a baby working 1,2,3 jobs making ends met, or working several jobs no baby,or just a plain jane who didn't go to school but has work ethics and has a good job. The one who knows a lil sweat ain't go kill you boo! You can make your own ends meet! STATUS, where you are in life. You have that one friend who always competes with you no matter what it is she's 'gotsta' have it too', no better yet 'gotsta do better than you'. I'm telling you right now PRAY FOR HER! Misery loves company, it's nothing you can say to get her to see your point of view. You the enemy anyway, that GREEN EYE has reared it's ugly face. Just continue to do YOU and PRAY FOR HER! 
*Disclaimer: Now don't confuse her with your girl who you have similar taste with and you guys are both ambitious! They are different ladies...LOL


Ladies, just pray for the GREEN EYED MONSTERS & Keep being the Fabulous YOU that only YOU can be, so well. If it gets too Catty you may have to let her loose! Hey, it happens to the BEST of us! STAY FLY! 


XOXOXO, Princess Nikki

*~*I have this THING for Marilyn Monroe, Oh how I LOVE THEE'*~*

Norma Jeane Mortenson was born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker. Many of us know this woman as the FAMOUS MARILYN MONROE! Now I won't sit and write a biography or article about her, you can search her on any search engine and get her story! I just want to share my awe of her. Many have called her names, bashed her, but on the contrary many have fell in LOVE with this MARILYN MONROE! I'm not sure when but I have LOVED Marilyn every since I was a little girl it was just SOMETHING about her. The glitz, the glam, her aura, her sensuality. She is simply put AMAZING & it hasn't been one to even come close to touching her legacy! She was not only a sex symbol or a movie star she is to this day a BRAND! A true STAR! I have mad RESPECT for Marilyn she definitely has a STORY & all that I know about her FLAWS & ALL , I LOVE MARILYN MONROE! DON'T JUDGE *ME* or DON'T JUDGE MARILYN YOU DON'T KNOW OUR STORIES...LOL

Some of My *FAV* Marilyn Quotes:


Click her name to go to the site they were retrieved from. Hey I have to give credit where credit is due! ;-)


"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
~Marilyn Monroe


"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
~Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words)


"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."
~Marilyn Monroe


"It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."
~Marilyn Monroe


"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."
~Marilyn Monroe


"The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"Who said nights were for sleep?"
~Marilyn Monroe


"All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."
~Marilyn Monroe


"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere."
~ Marilyn Monroe


"You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself."
~Marilyn Monroe


"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you."
~Marilyn Monroe


"I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity."
~Marilyn Monroe


"I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest."
~Marilyn Monroe


"We are all born sexual creatures,thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift."
~Marilyn Monroe

"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
~Marilyn Monroe


"its better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what your not"
~Marilyn Monroe
