Black In America 2

Hey :) Um....here's a LITTLE bit about me! Believe me, you must be really special if you're reading this. You must be amazing if you understand it. If you talk to me about it, you're just spiffy. My name is Gabrielle. I like that my name splits in two.

Gabby:
Hey, I'm Gabby! I'm really friendly and I love giving hugs! I go to Catholic school and I get pretty good grades. I have the best friends in the world, and I'm always open for more. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what makes sense in my life. I have two passions, one that carries more weight than the other. Basketball is one, I can't really bring myself to stop. That means something, right? And music. I wouldn't be here without it. I sing, and that's truely what I want to do. Maybe one day I'll do that. I'm working on it :) . I'm thankful to God for my life. It's been hard sometimes, but who's hasn't, right?

Brielle:
Hey, hoe. I'm Brielle. Don't fuck with my friends, and I won't fuck with you, okay? Umm..I play basketball because I love it, and it's good for my figure. I sing, because I have to. Music is what got me through the hardest of times: cutting, forcing myself to learn how to stop, and those lonely times when you know there's just no one that could understand.
I need Gabby. She nourishes me, and she lets me out when I need some air. She can write and sing whatever I need to be told. But she can't sing like I can, and you have to be extremely spiffy for me to let you here me sing. I have the sweetest ass in my class :) but I let Gabby take credit. I spoil that chick so much! I take the pain for her when the worst times come. In an ugly situation, I let her sleep, and I come out. I can be destructive, or I can be powerful. Gabby's sweet and I don't want her to get fucked up, so it's my turn to shine when she can't handle the pressure. When things get hard, but she can handle it, I'm the one that makes her suck it up.
She's the cute one. I'm the hot one. She's the photographer, I'm the model. She's the singer, I'm the lyrics and the voice within. I'll explain more later, but for now, that's all you need to know.

I love you, no matter who you are.
Gabrielle ♥♥

Black In America 2

Was really interesting. I watched the whole thing with my mom. I had another insomniatic night, but my mom came and joined me at around 4 and we had another incredibly peachy talk. I love herr :)

Anyways, all this gets me thinking about Society.

People have to really decide for themselves what is superficial and what isn’t. Random example? Say a girl doesn’t have a huge rack, and it bothers her. Is she superficial for being bothered? UM NO. Breasts are part of womanhood. It’s natural and beautiful, and not having them when you want to is pretty much only expected to feel shitty. It’s not superficial….stupid society.
People have to realize that as bad as things are right now for us, things could be SO much worse. They will get better…they will. So let’s stick together as a country and not start fighting amongst ourselves. Please?
Stereotypes really are hellish. Please stop them. They are killing my spirit.(well, not quite, but it hurts like fuck.) I can see a little easier now why people freak over them so much, why they get scared of another holocaust. But I don’t think that’ll happen. There isn’t a smart enough asshole to pull that off, I hope….

Well back to my joy of playing the Sims 3.

If you haven’t seen any of CNN’s Black In America series, you should. There’s only 2 of them, but I think it’d be great for those of any race to watch and understand. Black is not just a color, not just a race, but it is beautiful. Let me add to the society rant.

People need to stop acting like everyone agrees that race doesn’t matter. It doesn’t, but it has to so many people in the past and has made such a huge difference in the country that when people act like everything is okay and equal it pisses me off. I’m not speaking stereotypically, I’m speaking of things that involve ratios, records, pain, and significance.

But that’s for another blog, darling.

I love you :D
