R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson
The death of Michael Jackson was very unexpected and upsetting. I had to be one of his biggest fans ever! I honestly was in love with Michael, his style, and his music! I cried so hard as I found out he passed. But as I cried, I thought about the horrible way people treated him while he was here and figured he was in a better place now. I grew up listening to Michael and copying evey move he made, I am truly inspired him and everything he was for! I love u Michael Jackson and I will never forget everything you brought to this world!

Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Fights..Guns..Gangs...wtf???

Once again this is my opinion on things I see around me!!! These are a few things that bother me and I would like to just put them on the table!!!!

FIGHTS...
Well I know plenty of people who just fight for the fun of it..why I have no clue??While I can say I rather people fight(fairly..no guns or knifes) than kill each other but I honestly feel like it solves nothing. People get so geeked up about a fight like they are Muhamad Ali or something and get they ass beat. I often wonder why people fight and think they are solving something. All your doing is making yourself mad and scrathing your face up. Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't defend yourself or if you just really need to..beat someones ass. But I just feel like fighting shouldn't always be the first thing you think of when trying to solve an issue.

GUNS...
Does that piece of metal make you feel any tougher???Why is it that people feel like once they have a gun they are bigger? Lately there have been plenty of shootings and a lot of teens who have died from bullets. I think what a lot of gun holders don't remember is that bullets don't have a name. And even then, why go as far to kill someone over dumb things such as money or drugs. I've seen plenty of males heads get big after they put thier hands on that piece of metal..knowing damn well without the metal they were a punk..and with the metal they are even more of a punk because an object is taking care of thier business. The shootings need to stop! Retaliation needs to stop! Stupidity needs to stop!

GANGS...
Haha I love this subject! Do you really love where you live that much?? Your really willing to risk your life over a name/title you because you live in a certain area??? Now the funny part about gangs and sets is that they go hard for where they live but most of the people "going hard" don't even own a home in the neighborhood! I seriously feel like if gangs are going to exist then renters can not join! I mean your really shooting people and fighting over this place and you may be evicted tomorrow! Another reason AI would like to address gangs is for the simple fact that we are losing more and more males and some females to this stupidity. We should be helping each other out and trying to get out the "hoods" not trying to fight and kill to stay in them...and then blame "the man" for you being there! Seriously, the whole gang thing is pretty corny now and needs to end!

This is something that has been on my mind for a while...you may not agree with everything I said, and I'm not asking you to. I'm just letting the world know how Muff feels about some of the things I see that bother me. I just feel like no one should have to be worried about their child when they leave for school in other neighborhoods. No mother or father should have to bury their child! The violence needs to stop!

WHAT'S REALLY GOIN ON????

The things i write are not about one specific person but they are about a few things I see that just bother me...if you are touched in any way by this maybe you just need ta change...just a little lol

How is it that a person can say they love someone but be obsessed with someone else...if you love someone you should be obsessed with only that person. This also has to do with people who are so "in love" meaning once thier loved one is away they are on someone else until the other person comes back...THAT'S NOT LOVE...THAT'S PURE LONELINESS!!

Another thing I would like to address is all those girls who love to talk shit on how great they dress and where they shop at...That's nice in all but please don't lie!!! I think it's so funny how people talk about people shopping at Rainbow when I caught plenty of females shopping there when I worked there...and yes they were on that sales rack lol

I absolutely hate how people change so much in one lifetime...Be yourself! Muffin always been Muffin and was still able to mature! Why try to fit in with the crowd when thats not really your personality??? Some people can't be the thug or Ms. popularity...it's just not you...So stop trying! That would make you FAKE!!!

The last thing that bothers me is the word CAN'T...i hate wen people say they can't do something..almost everything is possible with discipline and hard work! when you say can't, behind it your really thinking "I'm scared" or "I won't"!! Replace "can't" with "will" or "can"!!! Don't make excuses becasue the world don't have time for it!!! Seriously!!!!

This is the end!!! Just a little of what's been on my mind! Like I said previously, this is not about one specific person and I hope no one gets offended by this...it's jus MY opinion!!!
