HawthoRNe Review

Most Jada Pinkett-Smith characters are less than memorable. But when I saw that she was getting her own TV series on TNT, I was proud of her. I thought, wowww, how much money do she and Will need??? But I had to check it out - cuz we should support each other like that.
Usually we see Tv stars go on to movies (which Jada did after "A Different World.") So this was really different, seeing a movie actress go back to TV. For one, you see TV actors every week, so you get this sense of familiarity, like they're a regular part of your home and life. Movie stars are a little higher because you dont see them as often. Anything that's rare kinda has more value. So it was almost like Jada is going from up HERE to down there with evrybody else....u get me???

At any rate, Jada plays Christina Hawthorne, the chief of Registered Nurses at Trinity hospital (I think that's the name of it)...but with all the decisions she was making and the way she was sooo needed by everybody, I was kinda confused about the difference between her and an actual doctor.

U know every story has to have a strong ending and beginning. Hawthorne def had both! It opened with her dead husband's friend calling her to say goodbye before he attempted to commit suicide. U thought she would talk him out of it, but no - this man actually jumped off the hospital's roof! It ended with Hawthorne finding her own way to memorialize her husband on the year anniversary of his death.

With all the cop shows and hospital shows, one thing you wonder is how different can each one be? How many scenarios can you put inside a hospital? In the first episode and scenes from the next, u saw a patient attacking a doctor...never seen that one before, right?? Then you have the patients with mental illness who have good hearts, but are a lil dangerous because they're crazy, and they'll flip out on the ones trying to help them...yep, that's a new one too, right??

But then I reminded myself that the imagination is limitless...and nothing is really new anyway, just executed differently. I also wondered how rude Jada's daughter was going to be?? I mean, that girl was unrealistically disrespectful. At one point she chained herself to a vending machine in some type of protest, then when Hawthorne showed up they began arguing, and the girl accuses Hawthorne of killing her father...yet, she still expected her mother to talk to the principal and save her from getting in trouble.

Another thing that looks like it will be recurring is tension btw doctors and nurses. U get the idea that doctors see themselves as thee authority and view nurses as underlings. Whether this is real or exaggerated, it is an interesting subpoint.

Yes, I watched the show because of Jada. And honestly, if it were the exact same show with an unknown cast, I would not have found it engaging enough to watch. But all in all, I would say that based on the first episode, if you aren't doing anything with your Tuesday nights at around 9 p.m., you should give "HawthoRNe" a try.

"Throw It In The Bag"

I am not a call girl....I just look like one at work. So I guess I can understand if that causes some confusion.
There is one guest who frequents the facility where I work. Always has on a sharp hat pulled low over his eyes, dressed in business casual, there at an insanely late time of night. The first night I saw him, he said, "You lookin real fly," and he gave me a $10 tip for a drink that was free. I thought he was gay. I know gay guys dont just give out compliments unless they mean it, so I"m like, OK, I must really be fly tonight - thank you very much.
However, the next time I saw him, this man said, "You lookin fly, baby. Here, take my number down."

- Innoncent enough, right? But here's the clincher, y'all. Next he said:
"I got money. Give me a call."

Now me being me and not taking that ish seriously, I laughed in his face.
He was undeterred. "Im serious baby, I got money. Make sure you call me."
I shook my head and walked away.... I mean, really, is that your selling point? "I got money."? What other features and benefits do you come with? I suppose those three words were supposed to be enough to slay me.

Last night I saw him again. This fool repeated the same admonishment to call him because he has money. "When you gon let me spoil you?" he asked. (then he said, whats your name again? I always forget. Anyway, u should call me. I got money. I'm thinking, wait you wanna cash out sum random chick whose name you dont even remember??? wowwww.)
Any other time, I walk away. But this is the man of the $10 tips, on a night when I had a grand total of $14. So I decided to humor him for a moment. "Oh, I dont know," I said. "You still got my number?" he asked. "Here let me write it down again." And this man pulled out a pad of post-it notes and got to writing. As he did so, he said, "You like the Somerset Collection? When can I take you shopping? I work from 10:30 to 7:30, so make sure you call me a day in advance so I can take off."
....and at this precise moment, I got a little weak. You see, Somerset is my FAVORITE mall. And it is indeed for ppl who "got money." My stone will began to flinch. My trick-o-meter started to rise a little. I wondered how little I would have to do in order to obtain this shopping spree. I wondered if my bf would really mind that much....
I mean, it IS my birthday weekend, shytttt!

A Supreme(ly) Bad Decision

Last week, the Cupreme Court ruled that convicts do not have a Constitutional right to obtain DNA testing to try to prove their innocence long after being found guilty.

We all know there are numbers of innocent people in prison, and a percentage of that are on Death Row. The article I read in the New York Times says there have been 240 exonerations due to DNA testing, and in 103 of those cases, the testing was able to identify the actual guilty party.

Why, with such evidence of a flawed justice system, would the Supreme Court not allow a person to take advantage of any opportunity to obtain the truth? To me, it just seems like due process.

The specific case brought before the court was concerning a man in Alaska, which is 1 of 4 states that do not allow access to DNA testing to inmates...this man's case is a little confusing, because it looks as though his lawyer actually turned down the testing during the trial because she felt it would incriminate him. But basically it led the court to conclude 5-4 that individual states may allow some ppl to get DNA tests, but it is NOT a guaranteed right under the Constitution....with that in mind, tell me how many ppl you know who do things they dont HAVE to do...especially things that add to their workload. This just makes it easier for states to deny a person a chance to clear his name. Now they have an excuse to say no, even when they shouldn't. The ruling doesn't necessarily say that states that do allow access to DNA testing should stop it, but I'm certain it will make things harder in the future.

Look at the case of Troy Davis, a Georgia man convicted of killing a police officer in 1991. He has been on Death Row since then, yet 6 of the witnesses have come back and admitted that they lied in their testimonies and were coerced into naming Davis as the killer. Even in the face of crumbling evidence, the DA is refusing to reopen the case and allow DNA testing that could save this man's life.

I attached a link so you can read in detail what the Supreme Court decided, if this is something that interests you.

I'm Not A Strip Club Fan, but Sucks if You Are

The Detroit City Council is hearing a proposal to make sum crzzzyyy strip club changes.

For one, they want to stop serving liquor...that's a grave mistake. It's like not serving alcohol at a nightclub or a football game.

Next they want to cut out lap dances, and strippers would have to remain on stage with about 6 feet distance btw them and the patrons....sorry, ladies, no one will be stuffing dollas in ur g-string that way.
And for all you "ballers" and the "upscale" clientele (which is an oxymoron to me since you're at a sleazy nasty titty bar, excuse my language) they want to eliminate private VIP rooms. I've heard first-hand that athletes feel there's nothing to do in Detroit but go to the strip club...do yall really wanna lose their money?

WHO DO YOU THINK IS GONNA GO TO A STRIP CLUB WITH NO LIQUOR THAT WONT LET YOU GET CLOSE ENUF TO GET A LAP DANCE???

I wouldnt go either way, but if that were a major source of entertainment for you, I could understand if you were concerned. Forty percent of all Mich. strip clubs are in Detroit, and any place with a liquor license generates revenue.Plus, I believe strippers have been recession proof. So in short, I dont think it'll pass cuz this city needs every dime it can get. We cant afford to have an entire industry shut down, which that proposal would cause.

A New Song for Those who Feel like the Flyest in the Room

I must admit, I was not feelin Jeremih and his song about birthday nookie...But I do like his second single, "Imma Star." It's safe to say I'm a fan of most swagger-braggin songs, and this is a good one cuz we usually get such bravado from rappers. WHat i really like about this song, though, is the violin melody goin on underneath everything else...toward the end the song flips and goes to a place that reminds you of Coldplay. So props to Jeremih for doing sumthin different with this one!

And if anyone else was on the fence about him (but u probly arent cuz "Birthday Sex" is like the '09 anthem) then let me tell u he taught himself to sing, play drums and piano...and he sounds a lottt better than that autotune will have u believe.

True Blood

I keep trying to give this show a chance....and it is to no avail. One reason I try to watch it is because I like HBO. Secondly, it has such a buzz that I wanna see what everyone else sees. And third, I dig vampire movies and TV shows. With all this in mind, I try to objectively watch the show and determine if it is as entertaining as I want it to be.

We all know that vampires have long been associated with sex...but this is completely lost when you take powerful, brooding, mysterious vampires and place them in the dang Louisiana swamps!

Now you just have some old country, redneck hicktown vampires, and that's NOT sexy.
To make matters worse, of the four episodes I've seen, not one has had a plot. Seriously. I ask myself if I would understand this show better if I had caught it from the very first episode. And the conclusion I reach is no, I'm sure the first show was just as weird, unsettling and convoluted.

The black girl is the character with the most sense. (I don't know her name. I dont hear to many ppl call her name either.) The gay black guy is entertaining too. So when I saw that a new black guy was on there, that made me happy! But alas, it is the brother from the movie "Coach Carter" and my fav TV show "The Game." He's pretty monotone and emotionless, but fairly easy on the eyes...so we'll see what happens with him.

Anyway, last night's episode ended with a girl who is a vampire, having sex with her vampire boyfriend. During this highly graphic display, he bites her on the neck and she starts to bleed. Apparently this just heightens the sexual experience, because she continues to take it while blood drips all over her face. So the viewer is just like, "Eww, what is this weird, nasty mess???"

Every single episode features nudity and sex. It cuts from somebody being killed, to a lady butt naked on the couch receiving oral pleasure....WHY? where is the continuity? what is the reason for the gratuitous nudity? At least make it relevant to the storyline - wait! There isn't one.

SO good ppl, maybe you can explain things to me...but in a nutshell, to my understanding, "True Blood" is a country, bloody, weird porno series.

File This Under "Duh"....

Please click on the link and read the article "Porn Industry Deals with HIV Outbreak."

http://www.clickondetroit.com/health/19748199/detail.html?treets=det&tid=2655505599813&tml=det_12pm&tmi=det_12pm_1_10500106152009&ts=H

Apparently a porn "actress" recently tested positive for HIV. I say file this one under "Duh" because it was bound to happen. Her costars tested negative, but they're quarantined and cant work until they get re-tested in 2 weeks, because it can take as long as 2 weeks for symptoms to develop.

One industry exec cited in the article said there was an HIV "scare" in 2004 and they tried to make all the "actors" were condoms after that...but they rebelled.
So in essence, you wanna screw ppl for a living, unprotected and NOT get an STD??? That's asking for too much, people.

The idea of a pornstar with HIV is funny, in a bad way. Im sorry, guys, it is.

Hooters

If I worked here, I would have low self-esteem. A co worker of mine said she had to hula hoop during her job interview; I guess just to get a good look at her body.
She says all the other waitresses are superskinny, but coming from her it was funny, because SHE is super skinny.



But she said when she's there, she feels fat. For a while she was the only black girl there. And they wouldnt let her work when people from the corporate office came because they said she was too fat. In addition, she applied for the little beauty pageant they have, and she's like, "I think they just threw my picture in the trash. I was in a bikini in the snow for nothing!"

She's a very pretty girl. Hands down. Skinny with big boobs, but in the world of white women, she's fat. And therefore unattractive. With that sad statement in mind, I know someone with a figure like mine (i.e. with curves) would have a snowball's chance in hell of getting hired. And that's y I say if I worked there, my self esteem-o-meter would be at zero.

The restaurant she works at is in the suburbs. So, she's fat out there, but back in Detroit, she's reminded that she's skinny. It's so confusing - on the one hand, they tell us they want video models (black and Latino) with their unnatural curves and huge behinds. BUT on the other hand, they want white women, who freak out at the thought of having an ass and work out like it's part of their job description! So it's like, who do you want me to be? The standard of beauty seems to be changing, but really not so much. The black beauty is still jump off status or just plain unedsired, while white beauty is still wifey/worshipped.

My Countdown

These are the songs I'm feeling right now:

6. Mario ft/Gucci Mane "Break Up" - This one grew on me. Cuz how all of a sudden did Gucci become thee man in the streets???

5. Hurricane Chris "Halle Berry (She's Fine)" - This one too...cuz no one in this song is a good rapper

4. Kanye West "Paranoid" - This Kanye autotune stuff had to grow on me, too.

3. Beyonce "Sweet Dream" - This song makes me want to dance like a fabulous drag queen every time I hear it. (See blog "Beyonce Cheapens her Brand")

2. F.L.Y. "Swagg Surfin" - Makes me want to be in school again. Sumwhere sunny, where ladies get in free and ppl actually come to dance.

1. Lady Gaga "Love Game" - (See blog "Kanye is alllll on Lady Gaga's disco stick")

No particular point to this one, just tellin u the songs that will get me to any destination in like 5 minutes, cuz I'll be doing 90 when they come on the radio.

Am I the Only One who Hears This?

There are a couple of uber-popular songs on the radio right now, and if you actually stop to listen to the words you're singing,you might be like, wtf??!

Amidst the outrage of the JOKES David Letterman made last week concerning Sarah Palin and her daughter (and they were funny), I cant help but wonder why ppl choose to be mad at certain things, but not others. And usually the other issues actually have more merit.

Of all the 6 stations I have preset, all 6 are giving away tickets to Jamie Foxx's concert in August. Some are playing the song "I Don't Need It." And in this song he says "Bit** I, I dont need it. Bi*** I, I dont need it." Im like, am I the only who hears this man saying the B word??

Turn on your radio right now. This song is playing. 15 seconds later it will play again. "Every Girl," the song with Lil Wayne, Drake and that other guy.
At the end of the song, the singer says, "In a few years holla at me Miley Cyrus." I imagine ppl would be mad at these black guys extending a public penis invitation to this all-American underage white girl...but nope, no one even hears it.

And right before that he says, "I exchange V cards with the retards." WOW. Why is that OK with yall? Quit dancin and listen to that nasty, offensive mess!

And what are you gonna do when it's your 4-year-old's birthday party, she blows out the candles on her cake and makes a wish. U say, "Tell mommy what u wished for!"

And she looks at you with sparkling eyes and a gap-toothed smile and says, "Birthday sex!"

Considering how popular that song is, it could totally happen.

This Wont Surprise You at All

Yes, good people, they are doing Season 2 of "For the Love of Ray J"....and I'm really feeling like getting my lil video together.
It mite jeopardize the good thing I have going now, but it could also be fun...
j/k boo!

Yall know Ray J wasnt trying to find love...look at who he picked. This man was trying to resuscitate his "career." I figured that when the man put out a SOUNDTRACK to his "reality show." And still didnt move units...so why not collect a check from VH1, sleep with a house full of groupies and go on a buncha free, extravagant dates?

My first rule is that I cant date a man I dont respect...but Ray is sexxy yall! Fa real.

Kanye is AaalLlLlL on Lady Gaga's Disco Stick

IDK if you heard - you probably have by now, because in todays world of daily blogging anything that happened 5 minutes ago is old - but last week on "The View" Kanye West announced that he will be touring with Lady Gaga.

He said a buncha stuff about how talented she is, how she's this generation's Madonna, so on and so on - based on one album. Hmm....

And basically he believes in her so much that he is touring with her, and they are co-headlining: no opening act.



OK, so I'm going to pay a buttload of money to see a joint concert between an artist with 4 albums (or 3.5, considering how u feel about "808s and Heartbreak",) and an artist with 1 album? That doesn't make sense...Kanye, trust me, it's an honor for her to be your opening act. No matter how u slice it, that's what she'll be. Cuz she only has enuf material for 15 minutes.

(But her joints do go hard. And apparently she is one of those rags to riches stories, as in she left home when she was younger to write and perform music, and she grinded it out until she made it happen! So props for that, but dang, she got Kanye on groupie status!)

Beyonce Cheapens her Brand

I ran across this commercial on YouTube the other day. It's Beyonce dancing around for Crystal Geyser water.

What the heck is Crystal Geyser? U were thinking it, but I said it...and if you look in the back of the bottom shelf of your grocery store, right next to the generic store brand water, you'll probably see it there. *Note the Japanese captions in the commercial*

Make that money, by all means, Beyonce. But after advertising for DirecTV, American Express and Emporio Armani, I'm 100% sure Crystal Geyser water does not fit the luxury brand pattern.

I didn't even know Crystal Geyser sold enough bottles to afford Beyonce - that's all I'm saying.



(And if I'm Crystal Geyser, why would I want my product associated with a "beautiful nightmare", as the lyrics say?)

"Forever Yours" - Yeah, Right

Usher Raymond...I'm shaking my head at you. Cuz in my heart, I dont believe you're getting a divorce.
Not after you were all up in Essence magazine twice, talkin about you dont understand y ur fans are upset at you for maturing and making the decision to love one woman. Not after you made a whole album about your commitment to that woman and your new family. Not after you said ppl should be happy that ur a black man with a black woman. Not after you sold no albums because you made a grown record with minimal dance tracks because it's hard to profess ur love for ur wife on dance tracks.

Usher, u cant promote and defend ur marriage so fiercely just to let it disintegrate as quickly as it came. OMG! WHY CANT PPL STAY IN LOVE THESE DAMN DAYS?! ITS SO DISHEARTENING...



I thought, look at that monkey-looking old ass lady with her 5 kids and previous husband. If she can snag an Usher and he sees his best friend and the love of his life through all of that, then it's a beautiful thing and I truly hope it works out! And here it is, a stalled career, an alienated fan base, two kids and only like 2 years later...and it's all over. WHY??? It just makes me mad, honestly. It makes me agree now with the super private couples like Jay And Beyonce - there's no point in shouting from the mountaintops how happy in love you are, because it's just going to end anyway. It makes me upset that I rooted for Usher and Tameka. Did all that work for what? Nothing...
Please please please, celebrities, if you think you're happy in love just keep that shit to urself - cuz its not gonna last anyway.
...Im still trying to accept that Nick and Jessica aren't together, and that Brad Pitt really played Jennifer Aniston that scandalous (falling in love with crazy-ass Angelina Jolie while yall were making a movie, leaving your wife for her and adopting an entire African village in front of ur ex's face?? Thats soo damn dirty).

Now this. Are "open relationships" the only ones that work? (i.e. Will and Jada, but u aint hear that from me.)

Pretty Girls Are Lazy, by Default

With men today so anxious to "make it rain" because "it aint trickin if you got it," I find that more and more women find it OK to be, well, tricks. Now, they may or may not actually screw around, but they definitely feel like being pretty alone is good enough to pay the bills - or to have the bills paid for them.

Susan B. Anthony and Gloria Steinem would roll over in their graves and slap these women who act like getting up and going to work is the old/dumb way to get the things they want. Their motto: Why spend my money when I can find a dumb guy to buy things for me? ...and for some reason, these lazy escorts still consider themselves "independent women."

I guess there is some work involved when you sort through all the clowns who holla on a daily basis and decide on a few to actually tolerate. The following is an actual conversation between Pretty Girl A and Pretty Girl B:

Girl A: "I need some new clothes. I wanna go shopping. No! I need to find a man who wanna take me shopping."

Then the light bulb went off: "No! I need to find a fat, ugly, black man. They dont mind spendin money. He gotta be ugly though. Where Rick Ross at?'

Girl B: "Girl, yea! I'll fuck the shit outta Rick Ross! I'll do the freakiest shit that n***a has ever seen!"

The next day the convo was about how jealous they are of male strippers. Allegedly at the strip club, they saw women bestow lavish gifts upon male dancers - an iced out chain and watch, a puppy and a motorcycle...I dont know if I believe all that, but it was enough for Pretty Girl B to ask, "Where the men who cash out female strippers like that? I'll be a nasty ass hoe for some diamonds! I will get butt-ass nekkid for sum diamonds cuz they ARE my best friend."

It's not like she's hurting for money. The kid still has -teen in her age, yet drives a BMW, wears UGG boots and rocks a Gucci bag and diamond earrings (that she doesnt think are enuf carats). But apparently, these things aren't satisfactory if she buys them herself. And she has decided that looking the way she does, she shouldnt have to.

Pretty Girl A agrees. She said, "When I meet a new guy, especially if I dont care about him, the first thing I say is, 'My rent is due' or 'I need my hair done; what you gon do?' If they jump stupid, then I hang up. Most of the time they call me back and ask what the problem is. I say, "I need a man to provide, so if you aint gon do it, what are we talking for?" 9 times out of 10 they arrange to meet me somewhere with the money I want."

So I ask you, are pretty girls lazy because men are dumb enough to be blinded by T&A? Is it their fault that a pretty face or big ass cause men to make every day Christmas? Should I give more credit to video "models" and golddiggers?

And should I instead blame the trap stars and old fogies who are willing to pay for the attention of a PYT?

I call these women hoes, but maybe I'm the fool for doing things the hard way. I had an experience where a man felt like I was draining him, and it made me feel so low that now I will be hungry before I ask a man for money or anything else. If I cant get it for myself I dont need it - Im prideful tht way.

But Maybe the oft-quoted line from "Player's Club" is true: "Some of us have to use the things that we got to get the things that we want." And if God blessed u with a face andbody that men will pay to see, then y not use them, right???

The Taking of Pelham 123

So....i called in to my other job, too the other day! lol. As much as I need money, not going to work felt unimaginably good. I mean, like damn, I should just quit and live a life of leisure type-good. But I digress.

With the latter part of my evening I was treated to a viewing of the new Denzel-John Travolta movie, "The Taking of Pelham 123." I know Queen Oprah luvs her sum John Travolta, but so do I, and I believe I'll fight Oprah for sum John Travolta. But I digress.

Anyway, the movie was good as heck, but I'm a fan of suspense/action/make-you-think type thrillers. Yes, this is a hostage movie. How different can one hostage movie be from the next? I know that's what you'd like to ask me. Well, if u liked "Inside Man," this one is better. It wasn't as slow, had no confusing subplots, and was very engaging. I guess it was a remake, and I have not seen the original, but I thought the movie was pretty relevant, dealing in sum way with today's harsh economic climate.

It's very clear what it's about. John Travolta takes a subway car hostage, and Denzel is the MTA operator who answers the phone. Travolta isn't trying to deal with the hostage negotiators. In sum weird way, he views Denzel's character as his friend and prefers to only deal with him. One reason for this, as you will learn, is that Denzel's character is not perfect himself. (Thats a twist for you.) But this man was serious about killing ppl and getting his ransom and you just need to go see if Denzel can work that thang out! (Which he always does, right? Because Denzel is the the consummate dad and husband and hero....in a cool, I got this under control, watch me pimp walk through this shot cuz Im Denzel thee man-type way)



But wait! - There's a scene in the movie where Travolta tells Denzel, "Everyone owes God a death." Yes, God sent His Son to die for us, so u mite think u owe Him one in return...i can follow that logic. But Denzel responds, "No, we owe God a life."

...and I agree. God asks us to give our lives to HIm, but not to necessarily trade our lives for His. He gave His Son so that we might have life, and have it more abundantly. Living our lives to the fullest - chasing our dreams, living up to our full potential, letting our lights shine- is the best way to pay Him back.

UP

People, it's safe to officially proclaim that animated movies are not necessarily for kids. Perhaps you see commercials for movies like "Bolt," "Shrek," "The Incredibles," "Wall-e," etc...and you dismiss them as being for kids...(Because they look like cartoons,right?)

Well when I initially saw the trailer for "Up" I saw a colorful, floating house...and not much by way of a plot. So I chalked it up in the category of animated films I wouldn't be afraid to miss....but you know my 8-year-old sister wanted to see it. As well as my bf.


It came out 2 weeks ago, I think, but Friday was her last day of school, and I selfishly was late to pick her up. As fate would have it, she was the only kid who showed up in her class. Can u imagine how sad and lonely she probly looked??? The teacher even had her call her mom, who in turn called me, and well, I felt so bad that I called off work and took the kid to the movies in an attempt to make it up.

I will not give up the plot - but let me say that it is soooo not what I thought it was. And thats a good thing! No matter what age you are, I think you will find something enjoyable about this picture. Essentially, it's about a boy and girl who meet and bond over their curiosity about exploration. They get married, grow old, one dies, (weren't expecting death in a cartoon, right?) and the other uses the rest of his or her life to fulfill the other's biggest dream, which was to live near a waterfall in South America. Yes, a dog and a chubby boy get involved, but you can find their purpose if you go see the movie.

We can look at this on a macro level and mention themes like what love will motivate one to do, or how it's never too late to chase your dreams...but one thing that resonated with me is that when the old man finally comes close to reaching the waterfall, he meets his childhoodidol , a disgraced explorer. And this "hero" of his turns out to be the meanest mf you ever saw! I mean, he was just a crazy, rotten bastard. We've all had the experience of being disillusioned at one time or another. For me, it was when I discovered that a teacher I had a crush on just did not have the time of day for black women. NO! I was not trynna holla at this man, but I saw a pic of his wife, and the other teacher he had a crush on and figured out real quick that black just did not equal cute to him...but enuf about me!

One of the tougher things to deal with in life is when your heroes actually turn out to be villians. This ever happened to you?

Problem Child

I have never before wanted to hurt someone's child so bad.
But the other week I took granny to the dentist. She was a walk-in at a clinic, so you know we were waiting allllll day for her to be seen. And this one little mf ran his mouth the entire time. He appeared to be 5 or 6 years old. I cant repeat all the content that spewed from his mouth during the time i was there, but I do recall being disturbed by the anger this child had in him.

I assume the lady with him was not his mother. But that was no excuse for her to let the kid stand in the middle of the floor and talk talk talk all damn day. You could tell she was tired of him; maybe she felt like trying to reprimand him would have been pointless. Young chick was holding a pacifier baby girl in her lap, and homeboy proceded to torment that baby. At one point he was in her face screaming, "You stupid robot! STupid dumb robot! I should kick you in your mouth! I should bust your freaking face!" And then he started to punch her. I saw the lady put the baby down, and when she tried to walk away, the little boy yanked her by the hood of her jacket.

The woman he was with just said, "Arent you sleepy?"

The boy said, "I aint neva sleepy. Do you hear me? Never!I stay up all freakin night." He also told her he didnt want to go back to her dumb, freaking house and that he wanted to leave and go to a real doctor.

Homegirl sighed aloud, "WHy did she dress you like that?" Idk why she questioned his attire....big mistake. It was a little warm for a long-sleeved, plaid flannel button up shirt, I agreed in my head... but demon boy said, "BEcause I want to freaking wear it! You hear me? I aint gon never take it off. i wanna wear it every freakin day."

Then he told the poor lap baby, "Eat sum real food! I wish you'll eat sum roast beef and then you can die!" Then he removed his shoe (course homeboy was sockless), wiggled his toes in the baby's face and said, "Eat this! Eat this!" over and over.

The young lady with him told him to sit down and be quiet. Trust me, he didn't do either. She got up and went outside for a minute and asked him to watch their seats. This boy walked to the door, opened it up and told her to come back before he bust her in her freakin mouth....the way he issued those threats, I really wondered if he had heard that somewhere before and was just repeating it.
Maybe his mom gets abused at home, because this little boy had the wife-beater act down. His delivery even had me scared! I swear...he is going to be something else when he gets big enough to actually back up all his talk...
