AFRO-PUNK

... the other Black experience

Confess your:

thoughts
sins
desires (but save your love, sex, dates, etc. for the LSDR Confessional)
needs
habits
etc.

Props to the originator from AP 1.0 whose name I forget. Come back here and state your claim, it was a great thread and mad helpful, let's keep it going!

Setting it off----

= It's going to take me a minute to get used to this format of AP. But I'm willing to stick it out and help any way possible. Bring the BLACK background back!

= I'm enjoying working part-time so far this summer. But I need a new gig for more $$$.

= Getting 'aerodynamic' in your nether regions is mad liberating experience. Freedom on a whole 'nother level. More details in the LSDR section...

= Unless this gets 'sticky' status, I ain't expecting much response initially. But it'll grow...

I find that I have to visualize where and what it is I want to be, and how it will feel to be there. I have to keep myself in a constant state of forward movement. I have to remind myself that I am whole, and that I am ok. I sit down with my journal and start writing about the life I am striving for. Writing about the man Imma fall in love with and stuff like that, just to keep the frequency right. Like I can grumble about having to walk someplace or have to ride a bus. Then I catch myself and remind myself, that I can walk. That I am not crippled ( I did have a knee injury a few years ago) and that I do live in the city and 3 blocks from a bus stop. Even if I have no money I can still walk to school even if it's a LOOOOOOOONNNNG walk, I can still walk. It sounds silly, but I have to sometimes force myself to be grateful for tny small things to keep my mind on the rite frequency. I have to remind myself how far I have come.
idk what it is with girls, i think the ones i've come across lately are jealous of me or something *shrugs*
i'm such a woman's woman though.....i'd rather be your friend than be your enemy ^_^
And ladies it's easier for us to help someone else and give them clear and sharp direct advice than it is to help ourselves out of something yet out of our control or that we just gotta deal with day by day until we either live our way into a solution or whatever hurts us stops hurting us anymore. That is a fucked up contradiction right there. I never had trouble with that before but now I sure do. Taking it day by fucking nasty pissed off day, and all I can do is savor the short periods of calm and happiness when they come unexpectedly for no reason or no trigger, because I'm not there yet and I don't know how to keep those random happy fulfilled moments with me inside of me yet. I will figure it out but it's taking forever. I have never been this unhappy for this long this intensely in my entire life. Midlife crisis? Existential surfboard, anyone selling one to me yet? ;)
True said, Fashionfreak. And trust me it's like that with older grown women too. I skirt that weirdness of being older and feeling younger, not having much to say with the young ladies in person and not having much to say with the older ladies in person either. That just means I have to appreciate those unexpected random surprise conversations with females when they DO happen. You'd be surprised at who it happens with and the places it can happen.

Actually this is a good confession: I saw that tumblr page Black Women With Style and I realized, "oh shit! that's ME!" I mean if I was surrounded with women like that every day on the street in Los Angeles, I would never, EVER, feel out of place. Omigod! Do all women in New York dress like that? Then I need to move there! Omigod!! That is just the happiest website ever, someone on here recommended that website Le Coil and in it was a link to BWWS too. Wow, thanks. :)
It's funny you mention this, last night I went to a town meeting with a diverse group of people and all the black women looked so friggin COOL! I mean fly natural hairstyles, funky outfits, the works! New York is such a diverse place and It truly embraces Individuality I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

Brooklyn (where the Afropunk festival takes place) has a more laidback vibe compared to the glitzy Manhattan.... It's so cultured so many painters, poets, indie actors, local musicians, lots of 'afropunks'...it's here you usually find the really awesome black kids. I mean I am sure there's a whole lot around NYC but BK in particular has a really great conscious 'Black' scene if you get my drift.

I hate the people in my house, can they stay still for a fucking sec? Open and shut doors, up and down stairs, stupid singing in the hall way, it's like more bizzaro bizzaro world in this bitch. I don't know if this is a Vent or a Confessional, not sure. I need a job, so I can buy a car, and then an apartment, because god, I can't stand fucks knocking on my door asking me to use my computer. I have to constantly hide my evil doings on the internet, and make them us another browser.

They keep asking why I lock my door, I'M 20 YEARS OLD! WTF! What am I supposed to be doing in here, playing with toys and still watching Nickelodeon, and god forbid any 19+ person who still watches that, with that constant slew of new shitty shit they show, not even the fact that it's for kids.

But yeah, I turn 21 this year and all my mom keeps saying is "You can drink this year!" Why? You and pops don't drink, I'm not going to face the judgement that comes with drinking in the household, especially when the liquor store is right on the corner.
Pabst..ha ha..Damn hipster! :)

Eh I already did both, and I only like smoking(weed), people can keep that drinking bs. Even though I could go for a Pabst right now.
I have been talking to this girl for 2 hours and I don't even know her name!!!!! Hahahahaha!

I have an extra. The other girl fell off. Whatever you do, don't go by the rocks.
women who claim to have a deep disdain for men really dont hate them. they are just waitin for someone to sweep em off thier feet and prove that there are great dudes out there...including me.
Missy's All in my grill still makes me laugh every time I hear it. I'm thankful for that.
LMBAO!!!!! BAHAHAAHAHAH!!
