An Inkful Celebration!

Hey Hiatus Patriots!

I am definitely back… Boy do I have lots to tell! The focus of this post will be the Slinging Ink Tattoo Expo (www.slinginginktattooexpo.com). This past weekend (2/24 thru 2/25) King and I headed down I10 to San Antonio, TX. We went to tape a show for his web-based television station. He told me it was a tattoo expo, but I had no idea what to expect. I myself am in to tattoos (though I only have one for now), but it was truly something to see so many walking art canvasses. Truly Amazing!

The production crew and myself spent most of the expo in the VIP tent. There was free food and drinks, not to mention the guy in the corner who did massages. The massage therapist and friends that were there begged me to get a massage. I then walked over to look at the bed. The once white sheets were now brown. I brought this to the massage therapist’s attention and he motioned to one set of clean sheets in the corner. I myself had noticed over 10 people there getting massages (taking their clothes off and lying on these same sheets!). Heck No! No massage for me!

An interesting fact about the expo was that there were quite a few popular porn stars there. I was truly amazed. I would normally not equate tattoos and sex, but after my experiences at the expo, the two walking hand in hand make perfect sense to me. This leads me to the absolute main attraction. Mr. Ron Jeremy himself was there. I am not particularly into porn at this time, especially not the viewing of old stubby men, but let’s face it… this guy is a legend in the porn world. You all can also remember him from the third season of the Surreal Life Reality Show on VH1. Upon meeting me he said, “Hi” and proceeded to stick out his hand (assuming I would shake it). No disrespect to him, but this guy had been with thousand upon thousands of women and I was not trying to introduce my flesh to his in no way, shape, or form. I just couldn’t do it! There was a porn star there who had been with over 900 men in one taping… couldn’t have contact with her either!

There were booths among booths of people selling things and getting/doing tattoos. I really, really wanted to get one, but King was so busy working, we ran out of time. I spent most of the day with Bubbles. She was really good friends with one of the shows producers. What a wonderful lady! She truly was a sweetheart. She got even sweeter after free drink number seven. I was so glad that I only had a couple of spaced out drinks, because I needed all of my brain power to deal with her. I know she had a hangover the following day!

All in all the expo was eight hours of crazy uninhibited fun. I had a chance to experience a different side of life. Interesting.

Want to know the weirdest thing about it all?

I look forward to going back next year!

What a time...

What a weekend! It took me a couple of days to absorb everything before I posted again. It would probably be easy just to take you all day by day. A summary of course!

I guess I will start right here…

Friday, February 16th:

I got the bomb tickets to go to the play Issues: Everybody’s Got ‘Em. Leggs was in town for the week touring with the play (she is the personal assistant to the producer. We truly viewed in style. I went with a girl pal of mine and we had front row center seats. All of the ladies were going crazy because of the fact that Darrin Henson was in the play. You all may remember him as Liam on the Soul Food series on Showtime. All I could remember him from his infomercial in the late 90’s. He was showcasing his choreography skills and boasting about how he worked with different pop groups, such as ‘Nsync. I can recall him attempting to teach one of the routines that ‘Nsync had performed and as he motioned the moves as he retorted, “Ain’t no lie bye bye bye!” Too cheesy! I loved it! It took everything in me not to bring it up when I met him backstage. The play was wonderful! A great colorful cast (Kim Fields and Dave Hollister to name a couple)!

I then headed back to King to spend a couple moments of the remainder of the night with him. We had a serious talk about some issues he was in the midsts of and called it a night! It was indeed a good Friday!

Saturday, February 17th:

WHEW…hew… we had our 10th W.omen H.elping E.mpower W.omen meeting at my apartment. It was truly a treat. The group is really growing. We have 11 active consistent members and it feels good. No jealousy, envy, or deceit- just women inspiring one another. We talked about our special gifts and truly empowered each other to reach for her dreams! My girl pal and I went to a B-Day party and it was truly a good time. I missed my best guy pal Senator, as he was in Vegas for All Star Weekend.

Sunday, February 18th:

CHUCH… CHUCH…CHUCH… has never been so good. This was a relaxing day for me. I attended church…ate…and headed home for a nap! Soon Sun was dropped off by the Infamous CK and we ran errands. The little guy and I went to the park, grocery store, and ended the night at Blockbuster. We headed home to watch movies- what a good night!

This is my recap of the weekend.
I am sure there will be more to come.

The End.

VDay Your Way!

Well… well… well… It is indeed Valentine’s Day! Whew freaking hew! Don’t get my tone twisted; I have no problem with today. I actually have had the luxury of having a pretty smooth day thus far. I woke up to tons of Happy VDay text messages and calls. You all know which one made me smile…

Yup. Without getting too mushy… I did receive a Happy Valentine’s Day call from King. I won’t lie, it took me a bit off guard, because he tends not to be the mushy type. He is not too big on many holidays, so the fact that he recognized it as being Valentine’s Day was enough for me. He treats me good through out the year and that is all that matters.

What is the big deal with Valentine’s Day anyway? Should we only take one a year to show our loved one the love we share for them? Is February 14th the only day we have to send flowers, candy and cards to our loved ones? He idea behind Valentine’s Day is great, but we must use all 365 days of the year to show those we love how much we care!

Don’t feel bad if you have no one to share this day with. Take yourself out and enjoy! Sometimes right when we except and become comfortable with ourselves, at that moment the “right” person comes along with us to share “us” with!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

The End.

A Favor for J...

So… I received a text message on Sunday night from a dear friend… J-Bigg. J has a wonderful blog worth checking out- www.jeremybiggers.blogspot.com. Truly creative writing at it’s finest! J had a small little beef with me and my recent blogs. Basically he was tired of all the mushy love and personal posts. Back in the day I use to write about a lot of “off the wall” craziness. I will be honest… I toned it down quite a bit. Not to mention I recently found out that quite a few of my employees read my blog… (HEY YA’LL, HOPE YOU ENJOY!) So, I had to keep it clean.

Long story short…

J-Bigg missed my erotic stories and not to mention CRAZY personal stories I wrote in the first couple of months of me having this blog. So, I challenged him to give me a premise and I would write within it. So here goes…

Sasha’s Erotica

“OMG!, Why are they so loud?” Sasha thought to herself as she struggled to open her eyes. Sasha woke up to what sounded like a party in the other room.

Sash, as friends called her was beauty at it’s finest. Sasha had long strawberry blond ringlets that kissed her mid back. She was racially ambiguous to the eye, but she was born to a mother that was an Ethiopian and German mix. Her father was an African and Native American mix, so she had the best of ALL worlds. Her skin was flawlessly sun kissed. Her eye sockets were home to beautiful gray-green eyes. She had perfectly pouty lips. Her body was exquisitely sculpted into a 38-24-36 frame. Sasha stood 5’8 with a pair of beautiful long legs.

Sasha may have been beautiful but her life was not reciprocal of that. Her mother left her to go on a mission trip to Honduras and was killed by some of the people in the village she was visiting. Sash was only five at the time, so she had very faint memories of her mother. She lived with her father until the age of 17. He remarried and had three children with his wife. Sash was always treated as an outcast so left in the middle of the night never to see her family again. She never completed school and began to rely on her beauty to get by. Modeling, as they called lasted briefly until she began to be asked to take off her clothes. One thing leads to another and she began stripping. Then came the movies. Sasha’s life was spinning out of control and she decided to jump off and put that life behind her.

Prior to her turn around she moved in to a lavish condo with two of the girls that worked at the strip club with her. Their names were Shelby and Asia. They were pretty girls in their own unique ways. Sasha soon grew tired of attempting to get them to turn their lives around so she stopped her attempts. She simply focused on her new life. She enrolled in a GED program and completed it and had just started taking classes at the community college in her town. She had been working a 10hr shift at the department store job that she had just gotten two weeks earlier. This disruption was not happening to her… so she thought.

Sasha glanced at the clock radio on the other side of her room. “Four thirty in the morning! They can’t be doing this now, they just can’t!” Sash stumbled to her closet and threw a silk robe over her pink Victoria’s Secret lace bra and thong set and headed towards her door. She had lived with Shelby and Asia for a year and behavior like this was common prior her to quitting the club but she had to be at the department store at 8am to begin preparing for open. She was set on keeping this job and they were not going to mess it up for her. “I told those heffa’s about keeping up all this damn noise when I have to get my rest!” Sasha mumbled to her self as she opened her door. Sash had the master suit in the lower level of their two-story condo. Shelby and Asia normally “entertained” upstairs and left Sash to her “boring” self as they would often say.

The closer Sasha got to the stairs the louder the voices were. She walked sluggishly up the steps and stood in the midst on her “old” life. Shelby and Asia had brought some ladies home from the club and they were lounging around on the leather sofa sectional upstairs. Shelby and Asia were bisexual so Sasha knew exactly what they had up their sleeves. Shel and A (as they were often called) broke up to make up and continuously had men and women in and out of the house. They had always tried to get Sasha involved but she never obliged. Not that she did not want to explore with them, it just never happened.

“Hey Sash!” the four women yelled as she walked into their game room. “Do you all realize what time it is?” She recognized the two women that joined Shelby and Asia. Their names were Serinity and Isabelle; they were two of the top dancers at the club, after Sasha had left of course. Sasha use to come home with thousands of dollars nightly. Heck the cover charge alone was $100.00! They welcomed Sash to sit down and have a drink. She thought, “Why not, doesn’t look like I am getting any sleep tonight!” They poured her a screw driver (OJ and Vodka) and the night (early morning) proceeded. As Sasha sat down on the couch they began by playing a game, High Card Rules. Two ladies would pull from a deck of cards. The one with the highest card dared the opposite player to do something sexual. If they chose not to do it they would have to take a shot. “What the hell, I’m game!” Sasha yelled!

“I can’t believe this is happening!” Sasha thought as she peered down to see Shelby exploring her valley with her tongue. She looked to her right and noticed Asia and Serinity on the opposite ends of a dildo. They were moaning so loudly that it had her head ringing even louder than it already was do to the numerous amounts of shots she had taken due to the fact that she didn’t want to end up in the situation she was currently in, so she tried to tell herself. Sasha couldn’t lie, the pleasure she felt being with Shel was undeniable. As Shelby came up for breath she placed her tongue on Sasha’s belly button and licked all the way up to her breasts. While she caressed nipple after nipple with her tongue Sasha ran her fingers through Shelby’s short feathered haircut. Sasha didn’t know what came over her as she laid Shelby on her back and grabbed the whipped cream bottle on the floor. She squirted the foam in her mouth and began to caress Shelby’s pleasure zone with her tongue. Just then Isabelle appeared and straddled Shelby’s face as Sasha did her thing down below. By this point it was a full out girl on girl orgy and Sasha had to admit it felt good. Asia pulled herself from the toy she was sharing with Serinity and grabbed her silver bullet vibrator. As Sasha continued to pleasure Shelby who was pleasuring Isabelle, Asia slowly eased the vibrating bullet over Sasha's clit…. Ecstasy at last was achieved!

………...........................................................................

“SASHA! Wake up! You’re going to be late for work!” The words echoed from the hallway. Sasha sprang up from her slumber. As she wiped the drool from her mouth she looked around. She was in her bed in her room. It was six o’clock in the morning and Shelby and Asia had just strolled in from the club. Since she had quit they would always wake her up on their way in so she wouldn’t oversleep for her department store job.

As Sasha got out of bed heading towards the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee she vowed she wouldn’t dare tell her friends about the erotic dream she had. “What for?” she pondered. “It will never really happen!” Not if she could help it. She hoped.

The End.


I hope you enjoyed the tales of Sasha. J-Bigg's guidelines were that the story start off in bed and end in bed. A game had to be played and something had to be eaten. Hope you enjoyed J!

Birthday w/ Sun, Rai, and CK...

Well... I had a wonderful... busy.. but nevertheless WONDERFUL weekend! Sun had his BDay party and it went smoother than smooth. CK was there along with Cozy (his GF), not to mention a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and his GaGa (grandmother).

Sun's aunt had it at her house and boy, did he have fun! He ran around and played with friends and family. He was elated to see both of his parents there, and he deserved at least that much for his 4th BDay.

Go Sunshine !
It was your Birthday!
We sho partied like it was your Birthday!
Didn't drink Bicardi on your Birthday!
You know Mommy and Daddy gave you Love on your Birthday!

It was really really cool to see my son so excited. He would look at me and then at his dad and show us the biggest smile. He was really happy on his 4th birthday.

The moral of the story is that as parents we have to ensure that our children are taken care of to the best of our ability. That is what is most important. Who cares if you can or can't stand the other parent. All that matters is the welfare of the child.

Let's just say...

Sun had a BLAST on his big day!

The End.

CK's U Turn.

Well… it is good to know that Confused K figured out that someone had definitely told him wrong. I had given the whole Bday party situation over to God. I vented and let it go. By the way… thanks for listening. It was very therapeutic to let it all go and give it over to my Heavenly Father.

Believe that!

Last night I headed home and threw Sun in the bed. I took a shower and washed my hair. I was hanging out under the dryer reading a book when the phone rang. Hum. Did my eyes deceive me? It was Confused K calling my house at 11pm. I figured it was just to check on Sun or something, so I politely picked up the call.

Were my ears playing tricks on me? CK was calling to apologize about the previous night and give me the proper info for Sun’s party on Saturday. He explained that he was in the wrong and it took his mother, aunt and girlfriend to bring him to that realization.

I was shocked beyond words. I conveyed to him that I appreciated the fact that he was adult enough to take responsibility for his actions.

It is important that as single parents of children we understand the importance of the child. Often times we spend so much time bickering with our child’s other half we loose sight of what is truly important. The child. Every action should be in the child’s best interest. It doesn’t matter how both parents feel about one another. A medium should be reached to ensure that the child does not suffer. A child deserves a healthy relationship with his/her mother and father. They also deserve to see both of their parents have a healthy relationship with each other. We often do not like to think about it like that, but it is the truth at it's finest!

It is truly amazing what happens when you hand your life completely over to God! How about that!


The End.

Somebody Done Told Him Wrong!

In the words of my favorite comedian Martin Lawrence... "Somebody done told (him) wrong!"

I mean seriously. About 24 hours ago I was ready to haul of and nock Sun’s father out. I mean… foreal. Nock him FLAT OUT. Christian and all. It was no one but the good Lord that got me through it.

Let me explain.

Whew… I am going to be honest with you all. It was quite a challenge for me to contain myself after the con (versation/frontation) with Confused K (read: My Baby’s Daddy). My wonderful Sunshine will be 4 in a couple of days and despite the relationship of his father and I, we always give him a “joint” birthday party.

I was a bit perplexed this year, because it was a week before his Bday and we hadn’t discussed anything. After a hard 14 hours of work… I awaited Sun’s arrival (his Dad had picked him up earlier in the day from my main job- so I could go to training for my secondary job). While dropping Sun off I asked about his party.

That’s when all …IT hit the fan.

In a cowardly way CK basically told me that I wasn’t invited to MY Sun’s party. He welcomed me to do what ever I wanted to do for him, but did not want me to celebrate with them (read: his mother, aunts, cousins, GIRLFRIEND).

Let’s be real… It did initially hurt. I prayed about it and thought… “Why should I feel hurt?” No one is going to stop me from spending that special day with my son… NO ONE!

The Nerve.

I made a couple of calls and found out where the party would be held.


Let’s just say…

IT’S PARTY TIME!!!


The End.

Da Ramble's of Life.

Well… It has been a little while since I last wrote. No, I haven’t forgot about you all the least. I have been so busy attending to life. My cup is drops away from overflow! I can’t complain though, I am truly blessed.

I am currently still working in the fitness industry which is tons of fun! It is awesome to see people reach their fitness goals and know that you had a part in it. Truly amazing. Also, my involvement with HAWC (read: Houston Area Women’s Center). I am currently completing my training to be a Hotline Advocate and Adult Counselor. It is truly WONDROUS to know that you aid in empowering someone to overcome their situation. Truly WONDROUS.

Lets see… what else?

I have just agreed to begin assisting in the singles ministry at church. I am sssssssssooooooooo excited about that. Many people are in such a search to “find” that special “someone”, they loose themselves in the process. Sometimes, they don’t even know who “they” really are. Being single is a true joy. It gives you an opportunity to live life while evolving into the mate that He intended you to be.

Yeah Singles!

WHEW… yup… Just when you thought you knew… WHEW! We are still doing our thing. I am actually in the process of starting a blog for the organization. It is quite an undertaking… so bare with me. I will save the world… I promise… one woman at a time.

Sunshine is almost 4! Yes... indeed people... my dear Sun will be 4 on Saturday. What's a fine Momma 'sposed to do? Let me think... uh... I enjoy the fact that the stretch marks get lighter and lighter each year. Thank God for that!

That is enough rambling for one blog…

How could I forget…

My Bestest Friend Princessa is no longer Pregnant. I talked about her quite a bit in a few of my June posts. She had a BEAUTIFUL baby boy on January 22, 2007. He weighed in at 6.5 lbs. His name is Ryan Kai Gregory (his first and middle names) and he is just as cute as he wants to be. I am sssssssssoooooooooo excited for Princessa. All I have to say is, Keep Hope Alive! He will grow up one day… promise!

I think that is just about it for the updates.

A BIG shout out to Brooklyn! It is a quite a few of you that are up there checking out my blog! Hope you enjoy! Leave a comment every now and again to let me know what you think.

And… waddya know… Sugar Land, TX is checking me out too! How ironic is that? Ya’ll never even mentioned you knew I had a blog! Nevertheless… ENJOY!

I will bring back the juiciness later.

The End.

Food for Thought..

Hey Hiatus!

Today has been a pretty good day. I got lots and lots accomplished and I feel rather good about myself. I would like to send a big WELCOME BACK to my girl pal Leggs. She took her own hiatus from www.leggsndacity.blogspot.com and she just returned today.

WELCOME BACK LEGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS! Me and JBigg missed you mucho chica!

Ok... what was I saying?

Oh yeah... this past week I have experienced ups and downs but one thing was always certain... I kept it moving!

I received an email today that really brightened my mood.

Check it out...

"Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a
loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called
Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called
Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make
it to a place called Success."

How about that for motivation?

When life hands you lemons... what the heck... make LEMONADE!


The End.
