Part II: The Love Blog

Part II A Love Blog: True Stories You girls amaze me by how easily impressed you are…I was trying to hide the aggravation in my voice as I watched them ogling the neighborhood ‘playa’… “Ms. A what do you mean by that?” Well it seems to me that if a guy has a nice car, looks okay, can flash a few dollar bills, he can get whatever he wants from any of you. And my goodness, don’t let him be well-endowed. They all look around, passing out high fives. I roll my eyes. It’s time to talk-the-talk so one or two of them can walk-the-walk. Listen up!!! They know when I talk slow and loud, I mean business. Here is the deal. There is not a thing wrong with being attracted to a man who is smart, business minded, and can please you. You feel me. But…they are now quiet, listening, They know I don’t suffer fools…when it’s time for no foolishness… Any man who can take you in with a ride, a few dollar bills, a pretty smile and a groan or two…isn’t going to value you…And ladies all those things except the well-endowed thang, you should be able to provide for yourselves…you are all equipped with the smarts to earn enough to purchase cars, have dollar bills and go to the dentist often enough to have your own pretty smiles. They start giggling because they know I am not going to be too hard on them today. And believe this, mother is not saying it’s wrong to be cared for, it’s a beautiful thing in the right environment, under the proper circumstances. What I am saying is don’t give up your power for a ride in a car you don’t own, or for ten-karat gold jewelry that might tarnish before you get home, and certainly not for a few minutes up under an overly busy body. What I want you to do is to recognize your value, sharpen your skills, take your time…don’t settle for less than you want or that you are worth.” Their eyes and mine met. There were more than a few watery eyes. I gathered my things to leave. Knowing when to say when is very important. Also, knowing some of them thought I was a fool. My message wasn’t for them…but the ones it reached…well that’s all it was about… Goodnight Ladies… “Goodnight Ms. A….uh Ms. A.” said one of my intended targets. Yes… We know it’s all about love… Then we understand each other…holla…
