Alright, I hate this shit to core right about now, and I think it is about time I come out with it and BLOG about how much this pisses me off.
JUST BECAUSE I'M BLACK DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T ENJOY DIFFERENT GENRES!!
So the hell what if I listen to bands such as:
Kings Of Leon
Cancer Bats
Die Mannequin
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Bob Dylan
The NOISETTES
The Doors
The Kills
Pink Floyd
Billy Talent
Linkin Park
Avenge Sevenfold
THE LIST GOES ON...I am missing A LOT
Anyways, i enjoy some elctronica and shit too. JEBUS!
Like why is it such an issue, why is there so much that I HAVE TO DO in order to be officially BLACK or AFRICAN DESCENDED?!?
This is bull crap.
I will listen to my rock music and be damn happy about it!
I will also not eat many fried foods, drink Kool-Aid (though i LOVE kool-aid, thats jsut cause it tastes DAMN GOOD!) and not go gallivanting around in barely any clothes and be loud and obnoxious.
Shiz.

On to other things..
I have been diagnosed with HIF(hand in fro) syndrome.
It's terrible.
I can't get my damn hands out of my hair. And I absolutley love the defined coils, that are unfortunately hidden most of the times by the undefined coils. Grr. I need to invest in a denman, or at least a look-alike. I went and applied for a HELLUVA lot of jobs and...i'm not getting call backs. DAMNIT! I used to work at the FRICKEN Gap!
I should be getting jobs like THAT. I snapped my fingers just now, incase you couldn't hear that....which you prabably didn't.
And WHY AM I SO SHY!?!
There's this guy i thought was cute for about 3 years now, and thought he was so nice and all that buisness. So I just became friends with his good friend at school, and he just happends to be INTRESTED IN MOI! Thats right yall. I mean, I don't think he's seen me with my TWA - on account of we don't bump into eachother as much in the halls anymore, but if he doesn't like me with my TWA then he isn't worthy of my love. I'm prud of my TWA , and I don't give a damn if dudes nah like it.
- my jamaican accent right there-
What i ned to be doing is my laundry, my grandma's hair and cleaning my room and possibly my bathroom...since everything is a mess.
Agh, I have an Independant Study Project to do for Night School English (i didn't fail, i just want to upgrade my mark....).
Im such a procrastinator.
SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta start on my shizz.
S'later!

Okay.
So, I was scrolling around for more natural models and such. Reflecting on my previous post on mainstream media and natural women or men. So if you all do not know, Amber Rose is that bald-headed chick from Luda's music video "I Know What Dem Girls Like" featuring woman-beater Chris Brown.
ANYWAYS...
So i was on some site called The Rap Up, and specifically on http://therapup.uproxx.com/2009/01/amber-rose-is-not-an-android.html. When I came across a few comments that shocked me: ( i tried to highlight the ones that got my attention)
| 4. |  January 28th, 2009 at 1:48 pm Finally…she might convince some of these women to go natural for once in their lives. She’s sexy regardless of the length of her hair. She gets respect in my book. |

As a black male in my early 30s, this chick is sexy…i would scoop her up before most girls with (fake)long hair. She might start a trend…remember Zhane’. |

| 12. | Blaqueknight Says: February 9th, 2009 at 12:21 pm Damn. Body for days. Beautiful as hell and blad headed. Is it just me or is this turning anyone else on???… |
I didn't know how accepted natural hair actually was, though it was only like 3 comments, im sure there were probably more if I went to the next page of comments.
I was all like "Wowzers, I cannot believe these men are saying this"
Not that it really matters to me if dudes like it, but you have to admit, it is a tad nerve racking when there are people who may not get that your naturality is a beautiful thing, and criticise you.

ONCE AGAIN...
Naturality in mainstream media.

Before I begin...
http://www.naturalhairdigest.com/
tis pretty good.
Anyway.
I was on the bus Friday afternoon, going home from school.
I saw a girl, around my age, and her hair was B-E-A-YOUUUTIFULL
I thought is was fake at first, but then she bent her head, and there were definitely no tracks anywhere.
Her hair was natural and, it was probably straw set or something...but it was so pretty and hanging down almost to her shoulders.
I was jealous. haha.
But proud too.

New Growth: The Myth Slasher Series
By: Yardley Messeroux
Last month, I conducted a natural hair & beauty workshop for a young girl's program in Brooklyn, NY. The girls were pretty interested in the topic, but they weren't the only ones. At least 7 program staff members attended and were very vocal about their interest in natural hair. They had some good comments and questions, but it's when the topic of natural hair myths came up, was when things got real.All types of myths about natural hair were addressed—the texture and its characteristics, misconceptions of image, and even the –N– word, "Nappy". Information was provided that either confirmed, but mostly, contradicted the myths, and The Coil Review would like to share that information with you too!
The Myth Slasher Series of New Growth is a multi-part series that will feature myths that have lingered for way too long and need to be slashed onces and for all. Natural newbies, this is The Myth Slasher Series for healthy new growth--both hair and perspective.
The Myth: Natural hair is rough to the touch.
The Myth Slasher: True. Natural hair can feel rough to the touch if not properly maintained and nurtured. In a nutshell, keep your hair moisturized and conditioned and it won't feel rough. That was easy!
The Myth: Natural hair is tough by nature.
The Myth Slasher: False. Coily hair is the most delicate texture there is. The bends of each coil is a potential breaking point, so natural hair needs to be treated gently, with care.
The Myth: You must apply lots of grease to your hair and scalp for moisture.
The Myth Slasher: False. Grease is for cars, but not for the hair or the scalp. "Grease" usually refers to petroleum jelly-like products that people of color swear by for a dry scalp treatment. Let's break out of that people. Many petroleum jelly-like greases that are often called, hairdress, hair food or an oil based moisturizing conditioner, have synthetic/man-made lubricants such as mineral oil, petrolatum/petroleum. Those are cheap lubricants that give false hope of moisture, but will not truly deliver.
Preview to The Myth Slasher for March...
The Myth: People with natural hair are more eclectic than people that aren’t. Hmmm...
