What does it mean to "Act White?"
I was on like a six way call and Terrence asked me a question and everybody gave their answer.. typical convo from my friends.. lol gotta love them.. :o) Told them id love to blog everyones answer so here they are, in a nut shell. (Not even sure if I use that right), LOL. Whatever..
Terrence: Brit, let me ask you. What does it mean to "Act White?"
Me: It's no such thing..
Terrence: I agree with you but according to members of our own community. There are people who act white.
Me: Thats ignorance.. Just because some ppl arent all LOUD and Ghetto and or are from the hood doesnt mean that ppl who speak proper act white.. Some say my voice is super light and that I dress white but I'm clearly African American. I just have my own style.. ignorance i tell you..
Terrence: I know. What if I was good at math would they say "I'm acting Asian?" People need to wake up.
Me: LOL True.
Terrence: Disclaimer: I SUCK AT MATH!
Tonya: I hear it all the time... It's so sad that our people limit themselves to recognizing proper english,professionalism,good behavior and concrete life goals... If these things make me white then I'm happy..
Me: (Butting in) Yessssssssss! youre right T.
Marcus: I've learned that from a sociological perspective, there IS such a thing as "acting white." "Acting white" is internalizing Eurocentric standards of behavior, dress, and culture and holding these things as the standard to which every other variation is measured.
Francis: It's a racist and idiotic statement...there is no such thing!
Nicole: it means to act either like their stereotype of a white person (i.e. if you can't dance you are acting white) or completely different from their idea of how a black person "should" act (i.e. if you are vegetarian you are acting white)
Well thats the jist of it.. What do you think? Ask youre friends and see what they say..
Terrence: Brit, let me ask you. What does it mean to "Act White?"

It Never Rains In Southern California
I'm currently DIGGING this song! It came out the year I was born but i'm so into it :D It never rains in Southern California!!! lol owwww
sn: Raphael Saadiq is super duper HOT!
I haven't seen your face in a year
I can't wait till I get there
Just to kiss and squeeze and hug
Girl you know the rest 'cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Maybe I'll take the flight out tonight
and you can pick me up about 8
I don't know what airline girl
but I know it won't be late 'cause they tell me
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Now I can't sleep at night
without your 8 x 10 by my side
that day will come
for us to be together
I'm not worried 'bout a thing
not even stormy weather...
Oh it may be cold on the east coast
but on the other side of town it never rains...
We have so much to talk about
a lot a catchin' up to do
I'll bring the diamond girl
because I'm so into you
cause they tell me...
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Now since I'll be here at your place
lets take a weeks trip for two
We don't have to go to far
just as long as I'm with you
'cause they tell me...
It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California
Can we just be alone
without those other strangers
calling your phone
now I don't want to be
that selfish kind of guy
but tonight let me take you
on a natural high
just me and you alone
Now it may be cold on the east coast
but on the other side of town it never rains...

Off the Dome..
close your eyes and cover them with your hands tight.
now think with all of your might.
open your eyes and chase away the darkness with your light.
who do you see?
with their hand reaching down.
who do you hear?
with their voice full of love, wisdom and clear sound.
who could it be?
with one look makes your body fill with warmth and your heart pound.
is it her?
is it him?
close your eyes and tightly cover them.
without a thought, open your eyes and grin.
when you see their face and hear their voice again.
these emotions mean your in love, my friend.
Dreams really speak volumes to me..

Stressing, horribly..
Not doing good at all. Moms been in the hospital for 12 WHOLE DAYS! PLus she had a second surgery if I haven't already mentioned.. Shes delusional and it scares me. From monday 'til wednesday she had tubes in her throat and that was FREAKING ME OUT! Her process to recovery is SLOW but still on a rise. SMH I cry everyday.. I have so much support around me but it's weird not hearing her voice or when i do go see her and when i do hear it, it's really low and she's most likely talking out the side of her neck.. Goodness, Lord knows i've been through All of this x's 12 with my Dad. Please see my mother through. I need her..

*UPDATE*
Yes I'm still alive and well!
As of yesterday, My mother had MAJOR surgery and shes doing fine! and yes I did shout it out! She had a "Hysterectomy" and her uterus weighed in at 12 pounds.. Eek, she also had fibroids and they removed those too. I just feel so blessed because she had so much prayer going up down and around. For two whole years shes been searching for a doctor to perform this surgical duty and every doctor in the DMV turned her away. We had a slight scare yesterday because the doctor called us in the conference room.. But they had the wrong family, thank GOD! However, Mom was still in surgery at the time and they kept telling usw that she'd be out in an hour, then they said another hour so we were just on pens and needles in the hospital lobby waiting. I was terrified because I just lost my Dad and I probably wouldnt have been able to live without my Mom.. But they Doctor assured us that she did a great job in surgery, her breathing was good and she had no cloting. She did lose 5 guarts of blood though and they gave her 3 quarts back. But with the uterus being as big as it was, the doctor said that she didnt need some of that blood anymore so the 3 quarts that she got back definitely leveled out. Now she's in her our room at George Washington Hospital Center resting so she can come home to her family. :o). To think a month ago our family was about to be broken up because my stepdad wasnt happy with my mom anymore was Heart breaking.. But that too shall past. Im glad that they were able to talk and clear up problems that they were having within themselves and also with eachother. Taking time away from everything was definitely needed. I've been stressing A LOT lately but I feel more at ease with everything now. Sometimes things have to be bad before it gets better. Now all I need for is my mom to come home and have a speedy recovery. I love her..
Peace & Blessings <3

I'm makin it.
So i've been working at this camp for about 2 weeks and 3 days now and it's bitter sweet. The kids LOVE me.. One little boy loves me a little too much! He's fruity as HELL!! but his sarcasm will be the death of me, LOL. Anywho, we go on trips everyday! So far we've been to the "Newseum, pool(x3), hiking, to the park and skating. The newseum was the best to me, felt like home :0). The kids weren't as happy as me though, which i knew they wouldnt have been. They felt like it was a waste of time but I had to put them on to the game and school them.
I work with kids 10 & 11 and the girls give me more of a hard time then the boys do. This one little girl named Chere' ALWAYS has an attitude. but lately shes been coming around and shes more friendly and playful with me which is cool. but in two weeks i've had more problems with these little girls then i've had problems with girls in general. I definitely have patience though, if i didnt i would have probably told them where they could go. It's so much he say she say and back and forth. Reminds me of highschool.. Btw, when i first started they were like.. "what camp are you from?" LOL. I was like i'm a camp counselor sweets then they started laughing. I know i'm small but DANG! haha..
Now that my mom has this new computer I will be blogging here until I get my new laptop then i'll start my new blog called "Messages From a Daughter". I'm so excited to start it. Hopefully it will be up by the end of July.
Speaking of that, I really miss my Dad. It sucks that hes buried so far away from me. I mean Holly Hill, SC dad? really? haha I have to travel that far away to come and visit you. :o( Well when I think about it, its a good thing because i'll be reunited with my other side of the family and I know thats what you wanted all this time. I often look at you in my phone as you laid in peace in your casket on the 22nd of may.. You were a handsome YOUNG man lol. Yes I'm throwing shots because you'll be 62 in about 13 days. The 27th is approching fast and im unsure of what to get you. You were always a picky person just like me. Everything for us had to be a certain way or it wasnt right lol. I Miss You, A lot. The last past year has been rough but i cherished the time we spent together. I still have your wash cloth. I havent washed it yet. Your scent keeps me sane when im feeling down and out. Its hard to believe youve been gone for two months.. -sighs. R.I.P Peter Bradley Jr. I love you and always will.

I always fall for your type
My dear
It’s unclear why I fall for you
I’d rather bid farewell at the sight of you
Yet my attraction is affection and deeper than words allow
I try to explain what I can no longer attain
But motion is the pen to my pad
So as I move closer and learn how to make you smile
Learning all the passions the drive you so wild
Once I learn your likes
Your dislikes and the things you love
I make you fall in love with me
But your type never lasts
Always fading just as quickly as the sun may rise
And gone before the setting of my eyes
Your type is so lovely
So quiet yet speaking loudly to my heart
Your type is so beautiful
Glaring at you is comparable to….
I don’t even know anymore
No matter what your wearing
You always look so right
I fell for you in the daytime
And cried about losing you at night
Our kisses my Mr. were lovely and your lip I loved to bite
I don’t know why it is
I always fall for your type
It’s unclear why I fall for you
I’d rather bid farewell at the sight of you
Yet my attraction is affection and deeper than words allow
I try to explain what I can no longer attain
But motion is the pen to my pad
So as I move closer and learn how to make you smile
Learning all the passions the drive you so wild
Once I learn your likes
Your dislikes and the things you love
I make you fall in love with me
But your type never lasts
Always fading just as quickly as the sun may rise
And gone before the setting of my eyes
Your type is so lovely
So quiet yet speaking loudly to my heart
Your type is so beautiful
Glaring at you is comparable to….
I don’t even know anymore
No matter what your wearing
You always look so right
I fell for you in the daytime
And cried about losing you at night
Our kisses my Mr. were lovely and your lip I loved to bite
I don’t know why it is
I always fall for your type

Quotes. :o)
We come to love not by finding the perfect person.
But by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

I've never had this feeling before, well ofcourse until a couple of months ago. So nobody I mean nobody has my heart more then my love. It's hard to find someone whose going to be there for you through thick and thin. It's like blah! Or that's how I feel anyway. I was the type of girl that it something bad happened in my relationship I would run to other guys for comfort, meaning conversation. Which was the wrong thing to do. Anywho, I'm in a bad place right now. Lot of stuff going on and I don't feel the need to run to anyother guy like I use to. I just want my love back. Even though I messed things up real bad. It's lik you know what you have until it's gone... And that's what I'm feeling. I want to be selfish and keep him all to myself. But that's dead... This was just a quick ramble.
