... the other Black experience
= = CONFESSIONAL... = =
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 like all the pop and psuedo R&B singers using the eurotrance beats. Nice to hear it on the radio earlier than 3:00 AM.
Said it too many times, but when I look at some of the talents who have passed on, I cannot help but wonder about the future of R&B and soul music.

AfroPunk Confessional, I confess that I'm still in shock. My mind has yet to wrap itself around what has happened to our family these past few weeks. "Take your food and go upstairs to relax. Oh, did you hear that? I said, 'go upstairs'," my husband said to me last night. Yep. There is NO upstairs for us anymore. We don't live there. We no longer own a house. We live here now. *sigh* I confess that I'm still sad. I confess that I'm crying as I type this right now. I confess that I just want this feeling to go away. I confess that I need a fucking break. I confess that I will take a break from my masters program. I need to feel and not be in a zombie state. I confess, I didn't know that I still had more grieving to do.
I like our new home. But it's not ours. It's very new and stylish, with the granite kitchen counters and vaulted ceilings. But it's not ours. I love the new neighborhood and walking in the mornings is very nice. I confess, I would love to just walk back upstairs to my old bedroom, stand at the window, open the shutters and look outside to all the trees in the neighborhood.
Thank you, AP Confession board. I needed to confess.

= Glad to see the youth getting behind protesting the Trayvon Martin incident. My cop friend sent me photos of the young folks at the downtown Philadelphia "Million Hoodie March" and I was pleasantly surprised. Basically they "flash mobbed" center city peacefully, good for them and using social media in changing the negative image the press paints of them.
For too reasons I confess:
1) I wrote off most of them as politically apathetic based on the pop culture artists many of them partonize, especially in current top ten rap music.
2) I avoided news reports of the incident because I didn't want to get angry at unreachable targets as it happens often when these events occur. I've been in protests, marches, jailed, signed petitions, etc. for much of my adulthood and not been very satisfied with the apparent results. Yes it's made me slightly cynical & cautious about the causes I support.
So I've become, to a point, what I accused the youth of being: apathetic. I apologize to the youth for that and those that are active, keep it going. There are a few ex-psuedo-old-wannbe activists who got your back even if it's waaay back, we still support you. It's y'all turn, fight the power!

The more I read about the Eugenics movement, Planned Parenthood and racist social programs of the the past century the more I believe that the increase in the number of openly and actively homosexual males and females in the black community is part of a plot to destroy black people. Black people at one time were a third of the population. What's just as strange is the number of highly educated black males that are not having children with highly educated black females.

Yeah, man. It's like Global warming or the rise in autism spectrum disorders except only a few of us are acknowledging it. I'm just saying I'm seeing a trend and I'm throwing out my theories on why it's happening.
Fructose Soda said:you're really serious about this Homosexual Conspiracy shit, huh?

I have a confession, AfroPunk Confession board. I still don't understand how anyone can spend so much time being your friend and then just completely stop talking to you. I don't get that shit. And I especially don't get why it's still bothering me. Well, yes I do. I'm sensitive. Yep.

= I confess these highways in Atlanta intimidate me. I drove them before but now having to do it more regularly is a bit daunting. This is going to take some getting used to. Forgot how crazy drivers here can get and how intense the traffic can be. That's probably the sole major drawback of being here for me, outside that I'm cool. Leaving my girlfriend & starting over again is another drawback I confess also. Still all good.

I confess that I'm starting to really enjoy this home we're in. It's actually very nice. Every time we have a party or someone comes over, it feels a little bit more like home. Every night, the delta breeze comes through so nicely.

It can be on the highway; even UK transplant Elton John said he loves Atlanta but the drivers are crazy,ha (I agree). I've never seen so many abandoned cars on the side of the road or folks pulled over for accidents than in ATL, real talk. I-85, 285, 20 & the perimeter you need to drive defensively. I'm going to just safely get used to it because there is no other option right now. I enjoy using MARTA public transport at least for the rail system, it's clean & pretty efficient.
