The Black Culture Industry and It's New Outlet/Serendipity!!!

There is a lil nook in NY off Lexington Ave. that sell the most indulgent food...especially ice cream creations.

Serendipity: unexpected happiness

I have been unexpectedly happy for the past two weeks. Regardless of my woes and troubles...there has been two people who have been cheering me up...starting from the depths of my soul. Yes that deep and profound.

I met a special friend in NY he has been a very understanding cat...I really appreciate him! Shout outs to Chris...the facebook hubby!!!

My special friend...he jus makes me smile...he's been around!!! lol

I miss my niggas from HARLEM bee...lol, and they miss me and the crew too. Shout outs to hubbington and dubington Chris and Phil....or Chrisington and Philington, My PuertoRiqueno Papi and Trini-Jamaican Saga Bwoy!!!! iHearts them mucho.


I was o.d. pissed the other night...and it eventually dissipated into my realizing that that person is how that person is...and i shud not expect much more.

In African American Studies class: Hip Hop History, we discussed the assimilation of the Black Culture Industry into every aspect of media...Video-Gaming...think of Grand Theft Auto. Talked about the industrialization of the Black Culture: all the Grand Theft Autos and hot coffee mug codes...has denigrated the Black culture especially its women.


Apparently white males between the ages of 17-25 are the largest consumer bracket of these games, such as Grand Theft Auto. These 'gangster/hustler' games portray the urban community as vile and viciously violent...they even portray hookers/prostitutes and show them 'givin' head' or having sex, and the way in which the male f***s the girl measures his 'pimp ability'.

I say: you can't get mad...b/c people portray stereotypes that has proven itself at some point in time...however, are we doing anything to change that image? Of course we are, with tip drill, Chris and Rihanna, Pimps with pimp cups, video vixens, and sexually explicit song lyrics that further trod on the already dismantled image of the minority woman! We are doing all we can (hint:sarcasm)

Sad =-(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some people believe relationships and attraction occurs only between you and the person you are sexually attracted to.

Like no homo...but I was attracted to my best friend Christina...she was strong and bold...something i like...

And you obviously/unconsciously are attracted to your parents because you inadvertently search for a man/woman that is mostly like your father/mother.

But onto other things: I wore my hair natural and everyone been complimenting me and asking why I don't wear it like that more often...and I asked myself tht question too...as I was straightening it back out. lmao

Saturday came n went...n left me emotional about a track meet than i ever cared...lmao!!! O.D.

I am listening to Kid Cudi feat. Jim Jones Day and Night...love it!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But back to Serendipity....I am quite content with life...well not really, but I'm learning to deal with it...I have too many health issues and shit riding on my health to stress myself at this point!!!!


Oh and I found a very close friend in someone unexpected, I never would have known how much her and I were in common!!! iHearts my lil Egyptian Radical lmao...Oh Em Gee how ironic...she introduced me to Serendipity 3 (tht great place) , told me the meaning of the word Serendipity...aww she's part of my unexpected happiness!!!! lol
