Can I Get Some

I was reminded last week that 99% used to be a good number.  Daily I am reminded that it no longer is so great. Most everyday I take my daughter to daycare. There are several moms who bring their kids in while rocking the Spongebob, Carolina Tarheels, etc pajamas.  In the afternoon after my long hard day at work, their kids are still there until they arrive in those same pajamas and do rags or sweat suits to pick up their kids.  Just when I thought I had seen the worst of it, I learned that most of these parents don’t pay half of what I pay for childcare. OMG!

I am happy that my child has two working parents, but why can’t working folks catch a break?  Can I get some WIC, let me hold a little something on that EBT card.  Just because I work everyday doesn’t mean I can’t use a little extra at the Harris Teeter.  I know the economy is rough and there are lots of people who can’t find jobs. I honestly sympathize for those actually seeking employment.  However, for all the folks living off of the system – go dig a hole. I am sick of paying for your kids and my kid to go to daycare.  I too like steak, crab, and lobster…and don’t let me catch you at the beauty salon or the nail shop. I might have to stick you for that EBT. We can call it even.

Check this out...Florida's welfare drug testing halted by federal judge - Florida - MiamiHerald.com I say, if you can afford drugs, you can afford everything else. Bump your civil liberties!!! If my child's dinner depends on me passing a test, give me the cup and point me in the direction of the bathroom. I really don't care what stereotype you put on me. And as always, I'm just saying.

Until next time~

I am the 99%...in more ways than one.

Unless you have been under a rock, you know that there are thousands of protesters protesting in the Manhattan, NY financial district. They are boycotting the fat cats of Wall Street in protest of our dismal economic situation here in the US. See here for the organization's tumblr. http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/
I support the protest and I am one of the 99%.

Definitely not to make light, but just in good fun, I have created my list of things that I am ready to protest.

1. Lace Fronts - Rickey Smiley is my hero - DEATH TO LACE FRONTS.
2. Kreayshawn/V Nasty - hey you, you are not cool - stop it!! We don't want to hear you rap, sing, not even hum.
3. Skinny Jeans and jeggings - when you got a male superstar rocking them its time to stop.
4. Ciroc - Diddy quit your whining. People were drinking LONG before you attached your name and likeness on a bottle of liquor. STHU. I am not a big drinker, but I will boycott you just because.
5. Haters - Who are these people and why do they exist? Its because you make them up in your mind and THEN you give them power when you talk about them. Make it stop boo, make it stop.
6. Triple X on your camera phones -I don't get it. If you are famous, why are you sending these photos to groupies? They will still be there and the photos will get out...Kanye, Breezy, and Big Sean..if you don't want me to see, stop snapping.
7. Basketball Wives LA - yes the whole franchise is pretty ratchet, but LA is the absolute worst. Those women gang up on the youngest cast member but take no stock of their current or past situations. BOOM ladies, just BOOM!
8. Final Destination Movies - ok, we get it. Please don't make any more of these movies ok.
9. Herman Cain - This clown wants people to believe Blacks were brainwashed to be Democrats and that racism is over. DUDE - really? I will give my synopsis of the republican candidates for pres later, but he is definitely on my boycott list for now.
10. Teasers and Trailers for Music Videos - just release the video already.

This is my quick and dirty list, if you have more, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Tar-Jay Anyone?

My first lady is so trill. Ha ha. Seriously, I love her. She went shopping in Target this week undetected by everyone in the store except the cashier. Just earlier this year, I saw her doing the Dougie. Her standard wardrobe includes items from J. Crew, Banana Republic, and H&M to name a few. I am sure she has a few pairs of Lou’s and several Marc Jacobs bags, but my first lady rocks.
