Because know-it-alls need advice sometimes too....
Hey folks-
A few weeks ago I was feeling some type of way about my best friend, "T" and trying to figure out if perhaps our friendship had run it's course. In my circle, I'm usually the one my friends come to for advice and often times I find that I have noone to go to when I need help finding answers. THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET. I've truly met some of the most amazing, intelligent people online and one of them just happens to have a brand new site up and running where she doles out her sage advice. I sent her an email describing my dilemma and she gave some really great advice. Check it out.

Introducing: The "iCock"
Over the weekend I had a chance to finally meet up with a friend I'd met thru myspace a few years back. Despite living just a subway ride away from one another, Saturday was the first time we'd ever met face-to-face. a friend of hers was having an event in Greenwich Village at this Caribbean restaurant I've been meaning to get to so we started out night there.
Well, in true form for us both, neither one of us made it there on time, we were actually both at least 45 minutes late. Luckily, all of the guests were on CP time as well because we were some of the first people there By the time the other guests had started flooding in, we'd both eaten and were on our second and third drinks. Plus it turned out to be a major yawnfest even with a packed crowd. So we made our exit so that we could find a place to put something in the air before moving on to out next destination .
We find place to "chief" and then she suggest that we go to one of the many sex shops along the strip. We go in and much f*ckery ensues. After looking the costumes we go to the back where the (grown up)toys are. Who knew there were so many things to choose from???????
There was this contraption that a female could wear under her panties that would vibrate and penetrate and...get this...it had a remote control so that her partner could control the device while they were out in public. Oh how I need that in my life...
Next thing we saw had my friend ask 'Seriously, when is that ever necessary?!" what was it you ask? It was a double dong (a two sided dildo for two women to use for simultaneous gratification) but get this...one side was black and the other white. lmao Huh??? Why would that ever be necessary????? lol
My friend and I leave out of that store and go to one right next door. It's in here that I lay eyes on the sleekest looking vibrator I've ever seen in my life (pictured above- Made by LELO). It was so sleek, the box it was in looked just like the one my iTouch came in. And the price? $189.99. I immediately dubbed it the iCock (if u look at the pic closely, it has the same buttons as on a iPod) and told my friend that for that price it better be pre-programmed with the musical stylings of Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Barry White. lol
As if not to be left out of the "WTF?!" portion of our visit there, we turn the corner and see masks...ok...some people are into that. What disturbed me was that the ONLY masks hanging up were one of OBAMA and FRANKENSTEIN. W. T. F????? lol
SMH
I tell you....only in New York lol

28 LESSONS LEARNED IN 28 YEARS
In honor of my BIRTHDAY TOMORROW- Here are some of the lessons I've learned in my time on this Earth:
1.) Pigeons fly at night and will chase you without cause.
2.) Who gives a penny what “they” think?
3.) Never trust a big____ and a smile.
4.) It’s not the amount of friends you possess, but how down they are for you that counts.
5.) Milk gives me gas.
6.) Crack heads wobble, but they don’t fall down.
7.) Niggas ain’t shit, but MEN are sent from Heaven
8.) I can write a 25 page term paper overnight and receive a perfect score.
9.) I’m a smart girl and I always figure it (whatever “it” may be) out.
10.)There are some things that “Sorry” just doesn’t fix. (And I don’t have to pretend it does)
11.) Size definitely does matter
12.) Those who can DO; those who can’t, talk shit about those who do.
13.) One person’s “catch and release” is the next person’s “big catch”
14.) Drugs are bad.
15.) You can get it in the hood for cheap. (No matter what it is)
16.) Light and Dark liquors should be mixed ONLY in moderation.
17.) It is quite possible to see your future in someone’s eyes.
18.) C.R.E.A.M
19.) It is perfectly ok to be selfish sometimes.
20.) Children change E V E R Y T H I N G.
21.) Just because they sell zeppoles 6 for $1 at the beach and your friends keep buying and sharing them with you does not mean you have to accept them. *shivers at the thought of a zeppole today*
22.) No one puts Baby in the corner.
23.) Gummi bears make it all better.
24.) Seagulls are gangsta and should be avoided at all costs.
25.) A woman scorned (or angry, or hormonal, or bored) is a very dangerous thing.
26.) Anyone is capable of ANYthing.
27.) My evil streak may be just a tad wider than most.
28.) I am twice the woman I was last year and only half the woman I will be next year. Experience = growth.

Black Pain
I am depressed (according to the clinical definition)and I have been for as long as I can remember. The sad part is, I did not realize it until last January. At the time, my oldest sister was working at a hospital and got invited to a seminar for Black Health Care Professionals. Since she knew I was having a hard time trying to decide what to go to grad school for, (and since it was at Sylvia’s Soul Food restaurant), she took me along.
One of the speakers there was a social worker turned public relations agent named Terrie M. Williams. Besides speaking, she was also there selling her latest book, Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting. Words cannot explain how much this book has touched me. I have never been the self-help book type, but this one right here hit so close to home that I had to share it with others.
The main focus of the book is how black people don’t address the depression or pain we may be feeling within because it is not allowed in our culture. We’re just supposed to “deal with it”. Don’t agree? Think about the last time you heard some starlette was in the hospital for “exhaustion” and you’re reaction to it. Yea. If you’re anything like me, than you were thinking that it was some ‘ole bullshit! lol
Just to give you some insight as to what the book covers, here’s the chapter outline:
Foreword by Mary J. Blige
Foreword by Susan L. Taylor
Introduction: Black Blues
Chapter One: Depression: Not Killing us Softly
Chapter Two: I’m Not Your Superwoman: Overworked, Undervalued, and Under Pressure
Chapter Three: I Wish It Would rain: Black Men and Depression
Chapter Four: It’s A Hard Knock Life: The Young and the Depressed
Chapter Five: That’s What Friends Are For: How Loved Ones Can Help
Chapter Six: A Spiritual Hospital: The Black Church and Depression]
Chapter Seven: Don’t Snap Out of It!: Healing in Your Own Time
Chapter Eight: Oh, Lord, Please Don’t let Me Be Misunderstood: Can I Get a Diagnosis?
Chapter Nine: I Will Survive: Getting the Healing Done-Therapy, Medication,
Alternative Medicine, Exercise and Spirituality
A Final Word: Making A Way Out of No Way
If any of those titles strike a chord with you, I encourage you to get the book. It is definitely worth it. And don’t worry, the read is very easy, not the least bit clinically worded and there are several stories from artists and other stars sharing their stories.
Totally worth it.
