Ohhh baby (Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)
What you need to do is
Take it slow with me
Slow it down a little bit (Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)
We don't have to rush into anything serious
(Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)
No we don't, take it from me (Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)
My name is Percy and I make miracles if you take it slow with me baby

, The Minstrel ShowI'm back online!!! For those of you who noticed my absence, my PC has been down for two weeks so I was relegated to the world where blogging doesn't exist :( . But alas, I have returned--and with a vengeance I might add. The song on this blog is a repeat (which will never happen again..,at least I don't plan on it) but I feel like it speaks exactly to what I'm thinking.
A few blogs back, I wrote a piece called "Right Place, Wrong Time", and I feel like I've had another breakthrough in the male-female dynamic and I've decided to have Little Brother help me explain--yes, I am a genius--I know. So here goes my list of things I think women, whether in a relationship or not, should be hip to.
Respect yourself: "I'm trying to man up see whats really good with you. Gentleman's approach, not bring it hood to you. Same things that you hear everyday like:"Hey ma, hey boo, baby whats your name". I see it at the clubs, in malls, coffee shops, and on campuses worldwide. Women (and yes I say woMEN in the collective sense, because if a few are in trouble, than we ALL need to reevaluate) will answer to anything these days. It's like your life is a streaming rap video. These men approach you in a way that they wouldn't greet their dogs and instead of being shocked and appalled, you smile, bat your eyes, and give up the number. If I had a dollar for the number of times I've been greeted with "Hey dark-skin", "Hey [insert jean brand here]", or "Hey girl with the [insert random body part here]", Bill Gates wouldn't have anything on me. Now, I'm not a man--but if I were one, I wouldn't be introducing my mama to a woman that those lines were successful on. How can you cry disrespect from a man when you don't even give it to yourself?
Stop Lying to yourself: I could kill Destiny's Child for confusing the fairer sex as much as they did. Yes, we know you can do it yourself; yes we know you got your own; and yes we know you are now 35, single and childless. Not to say in any way to settle for anything less than what you deserve as a person, but really, some of us are going overboard with the perfect-guy-list. Not even Jesus can compete, because last time I checked, carpenters are rarely making six-seven figures. With that being said, stop being extra dependent. "It's a lot of independent women wanna be claimed. Marry into money or marry into fame, or at least give birth to a check". Stop playing yourself. I'm quite positive that you have more to offer the world than being arm candy or loaning your uterus out to every rich man you see--looks fade, and you can become just the 'baby mama' in a heartbeat. I know there is a happy medium in there somewhere--find it. If you have, help your sisters out--like I said before: if a few of us are in trouble, than we ALL need to reevaluate.
If he say he's not ready, believe him: "I want a girl, when I want a girl. And when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that. And that's some hard shit to explain.To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing." Some men--maybe even most men, will tell you from the beginning--whether by words, actions, or both, that he is NOT ready for a relationship. Don't trick yourself into believing that he doesn't really mean that. He says he likes you, but he never returns your calls--and when he does, it's always after 11pm. Or he says he doesn't want to be with you, but you still mess around with him--waiting until the day he figures out that he really wants you. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! While you're wasting your time with Mr. Wishy Washy over there, Mr. Right-for-you passes you by while you slowly become the side chick and/or jumpoff. "I don't wanna play around, but I don't wanna settle down. And that's a man's dilemma." Furthermore, it is not your job to wait until he figures his life out. Time is precious, you don't need to waste it.
Think about it--and reevaluate. "'Cause when the party stops and niggaz get old. And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold, and that. Other side of the bed gets cold, you don't wanna be alone."
Peace.

Damnit Rhonda! If I had've wrote this post, I would be getting cursed by the female species right now. You were on point with this though. I hate to see SOME women go thru what they go thru. Ladies don't realize that if they just take a stand then they'll put themselves in a more favorable position.
