at my last job,
which was a black company,
i would see black celebs all the time.
i met damson idris aka franklin saint (and the cast) from “snowfall“,
“charlie” from “queen sugar“,
kirk franklin,
trevor jackson,
ari lennox (FANTASTIC),
“charity” from “greenleaf” (she is AMAZING),
and even kenya moore.
there are so many others that i had the privilege of meeting there.
we got a lot of reality show stars that came in for interviews and such.
well i remember the day ^he showed up.
his name is ryan henry from “black ink crew: chicago“.
now i’ll be 100 with you…

“You got to hold on little longer than you think you can, cause there is good shit working its way to you that you don’t even know about.” – poussey, season 7, orange is the new black

as much as we can do the right thing,
stay on the straight and narrow,
be good to people,
and cross the street without jay walking,
we might not get our happy endings.
yesterday,
i decided to finish the entire last season of “orange is the new black“.
i started it when it first dropped,
but during that time of my life,
i was really depressed over work wolf and had no urge to do the things i loved.
the finale of that show,
where we saw endings and beginnings with all the characters,
reminded me of something…

this was my exact fact after the “insecure” season finale last night.
i think i babbled “wtf was that?” as well.
no seriously…

WTF was that?

when i look back at season 1 of that show,
you can tell the writing was a vastly different up until now.
i have a few thoughts…

i’ve never watched “abc’s the bachelor” a day in my life.
it never sparked my interest.
i would always say to myself:

“They would never have a black person on this show.”

i ended up being wrong because they had a sista on there before.
her name is rachel lindsay and of course,
she picked a white male because i doubt abc would have an all black cast.

see her ig: here

well today,
in what i feel is “trying to cater to the times“,
they casted a black male for their new season.
everyone meet matt james…

dating is hard.
getting to know someone is hard.
it’s all hard.
you meet someone you’re interested in,
you talk for hours,
fuck for hours,
and then they just up and dip on you.
they could text you to ask if they can come through,
but they can’t use those same words to let you know they need a minute.
they can fuck a stranger they met raw,
but be scared to let you know they aren’t interested.
it’s really disrespectful,
but after watching “insecure” i had to wonder…

Are many people out here dating with severe mental health issues?

it was interesting to hear nathan and issa’s conversation…
