the good's hair over the years

as a black woman i have always been concerned about my hair. from a young age i believed that "good hair"(a term black people and people in general used to determine nice hair) was straight and shiny. some girls are given perms and relaxers early on in life, my first perm i was about 10, and it was cool until my hairdresser burned out my sister's hair. my mother was not having it and decided that we wouldn't be able to perm our hair until our 16th birthdays. as a ten year old you don't understand it, over time my hair transitioned back to its natural state...and i should have been happy but its hard to be happy when you're a high school freshmen and everyone around you is addicted to the 'creamy crack' (perm) you're already dealing with trying to fit in, so it was hard. my junior year as my mother promised i got a perm again this time my hair was a fire like red. sadly i wasn't concerned that my hair was suffering because of all the chemicals in my hair..i wanted to be cute. i decided a week before my 19th birthday that i was tired of my then bob hair cut and went to the salon and chopped all my hair off...ever since then i've been growing it back. i haven't a had perm for a few months....(i was still perming my hair up until the summer) and i threw in some weave. not because i wanted to be "pretty"(i'm beautiful no matter how my hair looks) but because i wanted to give my natural hair a rest and let it grow....

with no further ado i present: The Good's Hair Over the years.

the final frontier

a few days ago i put up melody eshani's newest shoe for the fall/winter of 09. well it is clear that she is not playing any games, 'the final frontier' is evident of this. personally the line gives me a real classy ghetto girl feel, makes me want real big hair,shiny lipgloss, and a pack of big red.












***i'm really feeling the look, kudo's miss eshani***

RIP DERRION ALBERT

i am a chicago native. when most people think of my stomping grounds their minds only picture the skyline and michigan ave. i was born and raised on the southside. violence was a really real thing from a very early part of my life. my parents tried hard to shelter my brother, sister and myself from the world but they couldn't shield us from everything.

i'll never forgot my freshmen year of high school i was on my way home from school on the cta, passing julian high school, when this guy from my school got pulled off the bus and beaten by a blood thirsty mob. the bus driver was pulled off the bus as well and beaten. it was one of the scariest days of my life because it took the police a very long time to reach us and break up the fights. the boy and the driver were rushed to the hospital. from that time to the time i graduated from school i carried a razor blade and mase.

derrion albert was walking home from school, thursday afternoon when he was killed in a gang fight near Fenger HS(its crazy because i took night school classes there and remember being scared to have to walk there even in a group of friends). albert was an honors student who never was involved in any sort of violence. three teens have been charged in his murder and are being tried as adults and being held with out bond.

**i am praying for my city because i know what its like to be scared to even come and go to school, something has to change and it has to change fast...god please bless my city and my former neighborhood....its sad because no one should ever have to look back at their childhood and remember the killings, jumpings, and senseless violence***

shawn carter and orpah winfrey chop it up

say what you like a about shawn carter...i've been a fan since i was 9 and that will never change. yesterday i was sitting in trig class i was supposed to be taking notes but in honesty i had my headphones in listen to the BP3, he's newest number 1 album. he may never read this, but he has been one of the biggest influences(musically) in my life. i'm super happy that he sat down with orpah and let people know that he's more than music....








so ambitious on BP3 has become my new favorite jay z song(i defiantly have a list of favorites).

sleepless in chicago

so as of late, i've been chalk full of emotions. not sure how to get them out or who to tell them i decided i'd post my random views on situations from time to time.

tonight i can't sleep, i took a cat nap i didnt even know i was having this evening and ever since then i've been on charge. i haven't been able to sleep the night through for most of the summer and its really starting to take a toll on my moods and actions. my mom sat me down and asked me when was the last time i had had a peaceful sleep, sadly i couldn't remember. we tried to jog my memory and i realized i hadn't been at peace since my father went into the hospital this summer. my father and i have never been close and its always hurt deeply, but i came to the conclusion that i can't make him be the father i wanted for so long(in a perfect world maybe, but perfect and i have never met.) then i started realizing that ever since my father got out the hospital, i haven't heard from him or seen him. the last time i saw my father, my grandma and aunt where in town. it wasn't that we had words or got mad at each other, its just that there are so many years of hurt, anger, and betrayal that i don't know if i'll be able to reach out to him and mean it. i truly do love my father, but like my family over time i've learned that i have to forgive him and love him from a distance. the loving from a distance wouldn't be difficult if he wasnt sick, that way i could put our relationship in the back of my mind. i think if i were the heartless image that i try to project, i could sleep at night. damn...
when loving him wasn't hard...

snack of the moment: garrets caramel popcorn

i could defiantly go for a bag of garrets carmel popcorn. i even told my aunt to give me the biggest drum of the wonderful caramel popcorn. ever since i could remember my aunt mimi would always bring my cousin, brother and sister, and i a bag of garrets popcorn when she would work down town. she would usually get a mix (combination of cheddar cheese popcorn and caramel popcorn) i sat and picked it to only eat the caramel.



o sweet caramel i can't wait to taste thee-- my ode to caramel popcorn
