Are You A Dime?

I swear every other song on the radio refers to a woman who is a red bone, thick, long hair, etc. I swear every hip hop video on the t.v. shows only women of lighter skin with European features, and Latin, Brazilian models. These messages being portray send a silent message that if a woman who does not look like what we are referring to every song is not attractive.
Fortunately, attractiveness goes far beyond the external.
Which then makes me question what beauty really is. What makes someone beautiful or not beautiful? Although beauty is 100% subjective, everyone definition varies, I do not think, or at least I hope, men are not as shallow as we think. Yes, they may have their preferences, but I think that women are much harder, and much more judgmental of both themselves and other women.

We judge other women by a much higher standard when it comes to beauty. Which begs the question, "Are You A Dime?"
In my opinion, a dime is comprised of many different aspects. If a woman has a gorgeous face, but a brain running on empty, she's not a dime.
If a woman has a banging body, but is "skrong in the face" and people don't claim you, she's not a dime.
If a woman has 19 degrees, two businesses, and a mansion by the lake, but is not physically attractive, she's not a dime.
Being a dime, ten piece, 5 Star, or whatever the new pet name is currently, is not just one thing.

**A bad bish is a woman who has it all.
She may not be where she wants to be, but thank God she's not where she used to be.
A bad bish is about her business, she is determined, and successful in her own right.
A bad bish doesn't follow trends, she makes them.
A bad bish does not need validation from a man, group of friends, clique, sorority, or career. As long as God is pleased with her, she is justified.
A bad bish walks in a room and all eyes are on her.
A bad bish follow God's lead, surrendering to His will, because she knows when she let's go and let's God, the world is her playground.
A bad bish knows her worth, she does not settle.
A bad bish is a virtuous woman, living for God, a higher authority, living to please Him, and no one else.
A bad bish is educated, knows what she wants and goes after it.
A bad bish does not compete with another woman, she competes with herself.
A bad bish does not wait for opportunities to pop up, she creates them.
She makes her own reality. She works more than she hopes.
A bad bish learns from her mistakes, a dime uses what was designed to break her to excel her.
A bad bish takes care of herself, well groomed, swag on 100 thousand trillion!
Happiness, love, humility, and favor looks good on a bad bish.**




So, are you really a dime?

Why I'm Still A Fan of Chris Brown...


Even after all the drama that Chris Brown has endured, though 100% self-inflicted, I am still an avid fan of Chris Brown. Regardless of what your personal opinions of him are, his singing, dancing, and performing talents are strictly undeniable.


I find it incredibly funny how quickly people judge one another. The all so famous "Chriannagate" scandal was just one prime example.



**I never condone physical violence! By a man or a woman, it is never justified to put your hands on another person!**
Now that I got that out of the way, no one knows what went down the now infamous night between Rihanna and Chris, only they and God will ever truly know. It is not my place, nor anyone else's to attempt to try to figure it out either. No one is in a position to judge anyone!!!!!! That's what makes it so hilarious to me how people are quick to chant his name as,"Beat her down Brown", or "Fist Brown", when they are not in the public eye and their actions are not on a world stage. When you point the finger, four point back directly to you. I am positive that more than half the people who now claim to hate Chris like a vampire hates garlic are the ones who have more than enough skeletons in their own damn closets. But no one sees them; or at least the whole entire world doesn't. I am sure that their are elements of your past, (and present, for some) that are not favorable to you or your image (self included); things you most likely regret doing, or ashamed or embarassed for anyone to fnd out you've done.
I find it funny how certain celebrities are indeed treated differently when it comes to the law. Charlie Sheen, a repeat domestic abuse offender, recently had been convicted of domestic abuse. This middle aged white man received a slap on the wrist and a brief probation sentence. I guess the star of one of the most popular prime time comedies, "Two and a Half Men", must be available for tapings!
Let's not forget R. Kelly. A living legend undoubtedly, but for more reasons than his sex-ed up ballads. Even after his sex tape molestation case and alleged underage marriage with a then 15 year old Aaliyah, Kells continued to pump out hits; his sexsay songs in constant radio rotation.
It is easy to forget that Chris Brown is human, too! *gasps in shock* He is not perfect. Internally I laugh at anyone who holds a grudge against a person THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!
People act as if they were the one in the car with Chris, and not Rihanna! They are more avid about the whole situation more than Rihanna is! Both parties have moved on, looking to their bright futures that lie ahead for them. If Rihanna, the person who the offense was actually committed to, forgave and forgot (?), how silly does it look for another person who they will never cross paths with hold a grudge against Chris? How silly is it to not like a person you have never met?
You can dislike his songs, his dance routines, his performances all you want, but bashing one man who made a mistake in his personal life will unfortunately not bring you any more joy into your life. All it does is cast out negative energy which always returns to it's sender. They are celebrities, their job is to entertain us. I am still a huge fan and supporter of Chris Brown. Besides when he makes songs like this...





And Most Definitely This...




What's not to like? :) If you've never made a mistake, puhleaze cast the first stone. *Waits*........

Why I'm Not On Facebook

**Update 10-27-2010:
As a returned member to the Facebook community, I was strongly prompted to erase this post! But I decided against it because I still feel the same way! I use Facebook for promotional uses only; I'm reaching an audience that I never could have before, my book and business being exposed to people all around the world, and yes, re-connecting with people I've lost contact with. So, please don't read this post and think I am a hypocrite. And before you go, make sure you add me! Lol! Facebook.com/IAmAngelaWilson*
*






Okkkk...So I have finally concluded that I am probably the last person on this earth that is not on Facebook. Everyone has a Facebook, and everyone asks me to get one. But for some reason, as hard as I freakin` frackin` try, I just can not get into the Facebook!

There are numerous reasons as to why I feel this way...


First of all, Facebook is in my business a little too much! News reports to this day still suggest that Facebook is used to for identity theft, the very reason why Facebook was created. Not to "socially network" with friends from 3rd grade, but to steal information that you enter.


Second of all, I hate the fact that a person has 1200 Facebook friends, but only knows no more than 75 of them. Most of the friends people have on Facebook they have never met in their entire lives, and will never meet in their entire lives. There just random people from across the country who they online befriend. If we were to really get technical, if we were to count our true friends...most of us would not be able to count beyond the fingers on one hand...let alone 1000 plus random people.

Third of all, your business is made so easy to access. In 2004, when Facebook became the new "it" thing, it was cool and simplistic. Cool privacy settings, simple layout, etc. It was when Facebook started the "news feeds" was when I knew Facebook was NOT for me. Before people at least had to search for your business, now thanks to news feeds, as soon as you log in, all of your recent activity is laid out perfectly for all of your 1200 friends to view! How fun! In addition to the complications of Facebook, people really do put their business on their profiles! AND PLEASE NOTE, ANYTHING ABOUT YOU IS BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Contrary to popular belief, business is not just the super personal information about yourself.


Example: I started my period today! Yikes!
I just got the best sex everrrrrr!

This of course is TMI, but anything that you put on your profile is considered business, especially pictures. If one of your 1200 friends wants to know what you did this weekend, they look on your Facebook. If one of your 1200 friends wants to know is your single, they look on your Facebook. If one of your 1200 friends wants to know who you hang out with, they look in your albums. And since people have 20+ albums, this "business" is not hard to find.

Fourth of all, your profile is never truly deleted. Last year, I attempted to give Facebook a try. As soon as I put in my old email and password, my whole previous profile popped up! Friends, pictures, everything that I had put on my profile years ago in 2006, WAS STILL RIGHT THERE! Heck, I was still getting tagged in pictures and I wasn't even on Facebook! That bothers me. That bothers me to know that "deactivating" my account means just that, deactivate, but still keeps all of my information, for as long as they want, and do with it whatever they want. Do you know that once you upload pictures, information, text into Facebooks server...it is never deleted?! As soon as you hit the upload button, your pictures become the property of Facebook. They can do whatever they want with it. Sorry, I"ll pass.


Fifth of all, employers look to Facebook pages during the hiring process. Employees have both been fired from their jobs and/or lost out on a job opportunity. Studies have shown that employers look to social networking sites to look up on potential employers. Even if your page is private (which is really helpful even though you got 1200 friends), a lot of people accept friend request regardless of if they know you or not, giving clear access to everything on your profile. One of these "friends" could be your interviewer who will see that picture of you giving that one dude from that one party a drunken lap dance that one night.

Sixth of all, there is a reason why I don't talk to you anymore. If I have not heard from you since high school, please believe there is a reason for it! All the people in my life who I love, care about, and desire to have a friendship with...guess what, I do! It is nice to hear from people that you went to preschool with, but it is not that serious and I really don't care to know all that much. I really enjoyed Facebook when it was created just for college students, you know, way back in 2004. But then Facebook became public, and instead of needing a college email address to access, all you needed was an email address to access. Opening the doors for predators, lames, fake profiles, etc. Sorry, I'll pass.

Seventh of all, I dislike Facebook thugs. I have no respect for internet gangstas. The people who hide behind their keyboards and use Facebook for their battles. I'm sorry, what you put in your status does not make you hard. What you put in your comments on somebody elses profile does not make you a G. Cowards use Facebook as their platform to solve their "beefs".

Eighth of all, the profile picture of women posing slutty is not cute. Bending over showing your "Assets" will not change your face. It is not classy and is mediocre soft porn. Those sexy flicks you paid $400 dollars for your man should be kept between, guess who, you and your man! The whole world does not need to see every crack and crevice. Hoping people will see your "sexsay" profile picture to up your Facebook friend count will not bring you more joy in your life. A nice beauty shot will do just fine, please and thankyou.


For promotions sake, I will have to join Facebook when my book is released in July. All these reasons and more are reasons why I think Facebook is the devil. And I hate the devil.
