a MOVEMENT...


I am having trouble here people… It took me a while to get to this point after a messy and traumatic breakup earlier this year, but I am single now and ready to mingle… So here’s the issue… Where are the “steppers”? The brothers that make a sister feel like she has to step her game up! I don’t feel challenged by the men I meet! I mean I am meeting men left and right but they don’t capture me… they don’t have anything to talk about, no plan, no goals… just existing, not living… they are cool… and attractive… but that will only get you so far in “Shannon-land”… I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I know who and what I am and what I bring to the table in life, not just in TOGETHERness… I mean come on! In the real world looking good will get you in the door… BUT you have got to have something beyond good looks to retain your position. Confidence, intelligence, COMMON SENSE, charisma, personality, ambition, balance… you know, the basics… and if you don’t have that.. you should at least be ACTIVELY trying to get it! Hustle means hard work! I like a man with personality, passions, and peace! I am not trying to be responsible for your happiness… you gotta happy without me but ELATED when with me! I am a happy woman and it doesn’t take much to put a smile on my face… brothers ask me why I am single and I must say because I haven’t met a force that captures me! I want a MAN not a BOY with MAN tendencies! I want to connect with someone that makes me feel like I can step my game up! You know a man that challenges my mind! I swear I don’t know where these kind of men are…I know they exist.. they have to… I blame these boys’ mommas! I am a movement by myself! I want a man that makes me better! Until then… GET YOUR OWN UMBRELLA…ELLA….ELLA….AAAY!

MIC CHECK


My MIC sounds nice...check 1

My MIC sounds nice...check 2

All eyes on me wondering what I'm about to do...

Got a tingle in my spine...

Running up the arch of my back...

Cause being on the MIC... is my aphrodisiac...

I caress it gently as I wet my lips to recite...

A rhythm like love that I speak into this MIC!

I open my mouth and begin my soulful moan...

It's so hard... to believe the way rock this MICrophone...

Tasty tones flow from lips to hips...

Using my voice, I move the room into total eclipse...

Speaking in tongues that parallel the Egyptian hieroglyphs...

This sistah's the shit!!

I hear the reactions from my captive crowd...

Participation getting loud!

In awe of my skills and the technique of my flow...

reciprocating to give me a standing "O"!!

All smiles with satisfaction,The MIC is in awe of my action!

Have you ever heard a sweet song like that?

It's not the lyrics cuz I just hum the words that I lack...

Performing feats similar to fiction...

But it's a matter of fact...

Being on the MIC is my aphrodisiac!

Mental Slavery


Mental Slavery
Start with a cage containing five apes. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray ALL of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result- ALL the apes are sprayed with cold water.
Continue until another ape tries to climb the stairs. The other apes will try to prevent it. Now turn off the cold water. Remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape.
After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? Because that`s the way it`s always been around here.
That`s how mental slavery begins.....
