If You are a reader of this blog and want a post from MrMary autographed with a personal message just let me know and I will hook you up. I know what your thinking: random negro on the Net offering to send you post cards is a sham, a front, but I guarantee I have no interest in robbing you or finding out what plastic laced machines you keep in the back of your sock drawer. Just a friendly gesture
I am sending one to Daan, my brother from another mother (author of daanvandenbergh.com ) over in the Netherlands aka Les Pays Bas. Who’s next
MrMary is prepared for everything. You can rest assured that if my blog got famous I would delete it or stop writing on it. It’s been a while since I looked at my daily views. You see I write for specific reasons.
I feel that the human voice collectively as well as individually is gradually being silenced. That individual spark that makes us who we are is being replaced by societal political and economic ideologies that we are forced to espouse in order to live the shattered lives we all lead . Blogging is a means to an end; it allows me to communicate and interact despite the heavy clouds of disillusionment and cynicism. It is a redemptive act because the want to connect with others is sincere. I would sincerely like to connect to people. Fame changes all of that.
The more people are attracted to you the more superficial their connection to you is I feel. Then there is this possessiveness and pressure to produce ceaseless because some want to be entertained. Of course the more and more you accede to these demands the more you lose that connection with the inspirations that started you blogging in the first place. The want to connect sincerely and fame do not follow all the time
You Would Leave Us ?
Not completely, my email will always be mrmarymf.poppins@gmail.com but the real question or maybe a more involve question is what’s more important to you the reader the writing and stuff that come out of me or the person behind it. I think I have done a good job of blurring the lines here between MrMary and I.
It has been said that to walk through a garden is to walk through the mind of the Gardener. For the few of you who regularly read this blog, you have walked through my mind, its something raucous humor, it’s absurd recapitulations of the days events, the sometimes poetic propensities, and some other crazy stuff. I have offended some of you, I have made you laugh, I have opened topic for discussion, and shared with you some of my more human moments. I am more than satisfied with what I have been doing here on ASpoonfulofSuga. I have 2 other blogs and I havent shown them any love. I am drawn to write here so here I continue to do so but every things has its heyday and then fades. Before I left though I would do leave in an over the top fashion.
Seriously
There is a song in French I remember hearing a lot as a young lad. It told a story of the locksmiths daughter who was a bit strange, she use to hide in a charrette, like a cart if I remember correctly, staring far out into no-where , which used to unsettle the other kids. To add to the strangeness she used to speak aloud – she was in her own little word which made her doll-like voice all the more strange.
One day the other kids in the neighbourhood decided to hide nearby so that they could hear what she was was saying without being detected. and she said some very simple things: ‘Give me some bread to eat tomorrow, Give me eyes to see the blue sky, give me your hand.” It is of course more poignant in French. Sometimes I feel that these blog post are like that, in the sense that there are moments of levity in my day, brief moment of respite where I am drawn to sit in front of the computer and write. Usually I have no plan, after I write I don’t edit and leave things raw. Actually quite often I come back to these post and read them and they make me laugh and shake my head. I am writing as much as possible for sincerity and to share the my vision of things as it comes into focus.
I don’t know how compatible that is with fame ?
I would use those 5 minutes of fame before I disappeared to promote other people’s blog and some hum,humanitarian causes I’m passionate about. I had great “conversation” this weekend with some other bloggers, and ran into some new faces. Check these bloggers out:
http://levantwoman.wordpress.com/ I have rarely read a blog as touching and raw http://tarnishedsophia.wordpress.com – Honest sincere thoughts and comments, I would invite her to starbucks for coffee or some pumpkin spiced over priced bullshit and just talk. She plays PS3 too, which means that she really fucking cool. I might have to test her skills in MK9 http://www.daanvandenbergh.com/ – Daan is a real person, meaning he isn’t full of shit, he is about something When I make it to the Netherlands we are gonna shoot the shit and drink some beer Heineken first then maybe onto a Dutch Witbier ( thats not a sexual move you do with a Dutch girl named Tess or Lotte, it’s a type of beer)
Anyways
What about You, What would you do if your blog got famous
A Palestinian woman said she was assaulted while taking a late morning stroll with her baby daughter and friend by a man who accused her of being a terrorist. We thought someone would’ve been publicly attacked and berated for secretly planning the Boston Marathon bombings within hours of the explosions, but nope — racists managed to contain themselves for two days. Bravo.
Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, both wearing hijabs, were walking with their kids when a white male in his thirties punched her left shoulder and began shouting at them:
“He was screaming ‘F___ you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! F___ you!’” Abolaban remembered. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.”
Bangladeshi man beaten at Applebee’s in ‘revenge attack’ over Boston Marathon bombings
A Bangladeshi man has claimed he was beaten at a New York City Applebee’s in retaliation for the Boston Marathon bombings – because of the color of his skin. Abdullah Faruque, 30, says that he was heading out of the restaurant to smoke a cigarette when he noticed a group of Hispanic men who had been at the bar followed him out.They then confronted him. He told the New York Post: ‘One of the guys asked if I was Arab. I just shook my head, said like, “Yeah, whatever.”‘ Mr Faruque said that when he tried to go back inside Applebee’s, one of the men said, ‘Yeah, he’s a f***ing Arab,’ and they attacked, beating him about the head and body.

Monday was a difficult day not just for America but for the world. Any time innocents die in the world we as a global community lose out. As an American my immediate sentiments are that we should act in such a way to honour those who have died, and those who are suffering now with the right action. While this sounds like another platitude echoed by countless news-people, I really believe that we should look hard at the suffering caused by the events in Boston. Indirectly that would mean that for me,(another no name blogger) the most important action for us as nation and global community, is to look and internalize what has transpired. This I am sure, will be an unpopular course of event. There is a need for justice, there is a need to make sense of these events, there is a need for action.
I remember the environment in NYC a day after 9/11. There was such an outpouring of love from the world to NYC, from NY’er to NY’er. It was a rather tender moment for me, because for once I could visibly see and participate in actions socially that challenged my cynicism about people coming together and a possibility for racial acceptance and religious tolerance. That moment was short-lived unfortunately. Soon Americans citizen of Middle Eastern decent across America were the targets of hate crimes. Whatever love was given was all to soon gone. Ten years later America as a whole is still recovering not just from the events of 9/11, but from how we chose to respond to the tragedy on our home turf. Two wars, trillions in debt, soldiers losing their homes and coping with PTSD, a great divide economic divide further marginalization of Muslims not to mention Americans of Middle Eastern decent, (to name a few) are some of the many pressing issues we do not have a handle on.
A Personal Lesson Learned
While I will be the first to admit that I do not know how to keep a nation state, I cannot,like many other Americans, help wondering if the two wars and all their political, financial, economic, and diplomatic ramifications worth it ? What have we learned as a nation after 9/11 ?
I will tell you what I have learned over this past decade. I have seen that (especially after the wake of the most recent presidential election) Americans are too divided to come together for an extended period of time. I feel we have reduced a person to just simple instruments to be used for the attainment of ideological goals. Before one is a republican or democrat or libertarian, American or , black white, latino, or whatever other label we like to use, one is a person. The Saudi national who was initially considered a suspect is a human being too. The Sikh person in your neighbourhood is a person. The Mexican Guy who may be cutting your grass is human being. The Muslimah that sports the hijab is a person. Surprising so these people may even be American like you or I which means we share an ideology and a vision.
Of course this is idealistic. Behind the sarcastic statements, the cynical quips, I am a idealist. I am a positive person. There will always be those amongst us who will will seek to disrupt us, to take from us the most precious things like our sense of security, the want to engage with our fellow human beings and country man, and sadly as the explosion in Boston have shown even our lives. History is littered with heinous acts, but if we look close enough we will see so many instances of self-sacrifice and benevolence.
An Important Anniversary
Tuesday April 16 was an important anniversary to me. Fifty one years ago on that day MLK wrote his letter from Birmingham Jail. That letter has always been a point of inspiration for me. It gave a voice to a sentiment I hold deeply, specifically that we can today with a greater sense of urgency and determination work to make a better America. The bombings in Boston are an opportunity for us to come together as a nation and talk about the human issues we are all facing.
I feel that it was irresponsible for a memo to the New York Post and other media outlets to tell people top be on the lookout for out for “dark-skinned” suspects. I feel, rather I am certain that the news is working people up to a frenzy. The president in a recent speech praised Boston for overcoming the face of evil.. But if Muslims are being attacked have we really overcome the face of evil or have we just brought out another evil face. Fire cannot be fought with fire. We need to change of view on things, we need to deliberate a little more as a whole before anyone else gets heckled or beaten up for being of middle Eastern descent. We need to recognize that while their existU.S. Muslims mobilize to prevent Boston backlash
It’s a familiar race against time for Muslim groups. Almost as soon as the smoke cleared around Copley Square, they knew from long experience that some would immediately point the finger of blame in their direction.
Still, conservative columnist and Fox News guest Erik Rush quickly sent out tweets blaming Muslims, adding in one, “Let’s kill them,” a post he subsequently deleted. “Jihad in America,” wrote anti-Muslim blogger Pam Geller. Speaking about the bombings on his ”700 Club” program, Pat Robertson was also furious: “Don’t talk to me about religion of peace” – the way Muslims describe their faith – “No way.” On his show, conservative host Glenn Beck opined that “no American citizen blows up random people; that’s a Middle Eastern scene, that’s not an American scene. When our crazies go off, they target the government, not streets that are crowded with people.”
Final Words
While it’s difficult thing to do i will be writing about the ramification of the Boston as I see them in my life with the hope of generating actual discussion instead of hate-speak/News-Speak and double talk. Probably also when all is said and done I will go to Boston and lay soem flowers down , anyone who wants to join is welcome.
Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.
Disclaimer:When I started this bitterly pressed series it was to poke fun at WordPress‘ Freshly Pressed. At the time anyone who baked anything that looked edible or too high resolution pictures of insects or nature scenes got freshly Pressed. Now things are different and I have no gripe with WordPress. So I decided to use the bitter Pressed Series to vent my quotidian vitriol. The commentary is dark, as is the humour and my skin colour. There will be a lot of offensive things said but all in good fun. If you are not down with that check out another one of my posts

I came across an article that egregiously insulted my intelligence. I had to write a post refuting this article with a noxious spew of acrid verbal ejaculations. The article is entitled:
7 Ways Exercise Can Prevent Infidelity
Exercise cannot prevent infidelity any more than regular stretching can prevent pain from anal. This article ignores some basic facts about human beings. Once we’re in a long term relationship we spend what’s left of our free time trying to entertain ourselves by looking for new stimuli. There are 200 channels on cable/direct TV, hundreds if not thousands of apps for your SMART phone or favourite electronic device. There are hundreds of cocktails you can drown your sorry existence in. We seek variety, we crave it, we pine for it, the need for variety and novelty is embedded in our history as a species and yet we fool ourselves into thinking that one person will satisfy us when one “anything” has never done so before.
The Truth About Infidelity
Infidelity occurs because you cannot and will never be able to consistently satisfy your partner as completely as they want to be satisfied. Infidelity starts as a psychological condition that eventually manifests physically. By the time we have observed infidelity in action the psychological condition has metastasised . Don’t believe me ?
For the Ladies
Ladies you are happy, house is clean,there’s money in both bank accounts and you are 455 closer to that asinine excuse of a vacation in the islands. Then while in your reverie, your man comes home. He was never much of a talker but he is extra silent. He greets you as he normally would but there is no warmth in it, there is no sign of life behind his eyes. Right before you launch into an excessively long conversation he lets out a heavy sigh. You pause, and hold off telling him the 5 things he needs to change about himself and his world view to give your syphilitic life meaning. You know something is off but he wont tell you.
I’ll tell you. He is at a stage in his life where he remembers what it was like to be an independent being. To have thoughts not interrupted by your incessant demands for entertainment and comfort. He is slowly the more and more he is with you, losing what sense of what it means to be an individual. There is nothing you can do to fix this and actually the more you do, the more you hasten the eventual conclusion of this behaviour. He will resort to going through the motions of his life and the best part of him will be saved for a internal fantasy that you are not part of. It just so happens that the younger women at his job, or down the hall or at the bar will subconsciously pick up on these vibes and knows that if she makes him feel for a minute like a man, if she give him just a little taste of freedom he will go balls deep into that with the fury of a seasoned prisoner in the shower when the new inmates arrive.
For the Guys
Guys – have you noticed your lady just doing some repetitive task quietly? She has this lost and forlorn look in her eyes. She is off in space. See she wants a family in the future, but the world is so large, there are so many things to see. How does one balance the need for novelty for exploration with the need for the expression of a deep seated maternal instinct? Your immaturity and having the emotional intelligence of wet toilet paper doesn’t help. yeah You hang with friend and still make time for her but at night when you tune out with the TV and leave the dishes undone and through your silence, reduce her to a domestic task master, you have effectively silenced her self expression in all the settings you share. Neither of you has matured and your respective baggage become the the barbed wire barrier to any sort of deeper connection. Then some guy gives her attention. He sees her as a person. He can sense that she doesn’t need the maxi-pads with wings because there are so many cob-web down there. The walls of Jericho and Troy eventually fell, it’s only a matter of time before someone lights a torches and cleans up the webs and starts a mining operation.
The Reality
The post industrials age has reduced us to mere consumers, goaded forward by the rewards of our most basal drives.We cannot connect well with ourselves and with others. All our relationships are saturated with feelings of inferiority and failure before they get serious. Until we address this issue, relationships have a slimmer and slimmer chance of being healthy and progressing past sexual indiscretion punctuated by sad attempts at civility. BOTTOM LINE:Exercise wont prevent cheating!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debunking this Bullshit Article
Less Stress
BULLSHIT Stress is unhealthy to your life in an uncountable number of ways. When you’re stressed, your testosterone lowers, you store more body fat, and your body produces cortisol (the “anti-testosterone”) which cripples any confidence or dominance you might have in the relationship. When you work out, stress disappears, and so do all those nasty chemicals that come with it.
THE REALITY – It’s not that biochemically many things happen with cortisol production – that was a bullshit statement. Working out is a stress on the body. I’ve people who have cheated because they weren’t stressed because everything was going good and they needed excitement
Looking Better
BULLSHIT There are plenty of excuses when a partner cheats and one of the most common ones is: “He let himself go and doesn’t work out,” or “She gained 50 pounds after we got married.” It’s your responsibility to stay sexy for the life of your relationship and luckily exercise is a very controllable way to do this.
THE REALITY – Just because you look better doesn’t mean your spouse will say yes! Your spouse whether male or female is petty and wants to hold a grudge and make you pay for every past transgression. If and when sex happens it will be as bland and meaningless as your childhood.
Higher Testosterone
BULLSHIT: If you’re working out regularly, you will have very healthy testosterone levels. As you can guess, adding these hormones to your body makes you more confident, tougher, and a hell of a lot better in the sack. If you are giving your mate the ride of her life, then there’s little incentive for her to look elsewhere.
REALITY: The reality of this will be that, if you are a guy with all that extra testosterone you will be beating your dick like it owes you money in the shower, or if your a woman your box will resemble the Toy R Us warehouse given how filled and stacked with toys it’s going to be. You fundamentally like your spouse but in a weird way you’re tired of their shit and have no one knows what you like best then your imagination because face it, you stopped being a human being after highschool graduation when you entered willingly into the college slave ship to be shaped nad moulded in a sexless, thoughtless drone.
Feeling Better
BULLSHIT: If you’re working out regularly, your body is shooting with endorphins which make you more cheerful and better to be around. Having a powerful vibrancy will make your partner feel very magnetically connected to you and make him or her want to feel some of that energy you’re giving off.
THE REALITY: you didn’t even like those stupid magnetic toys and things you put on your fridge as a child save all that magnetic bullshit for the empty-headed patrons of your local incense, cool rocks/crystals that will to change your energy type-stores. If you’re an asshole being cheery or feeling better won’t make you less of an asshole. Here’s a fucking idea, that money you spend on a gym membership use it instead to abuse hallucinogenic plants which have known side affects of calmness , peacefulness, apathy. Same shit. You’re using the working out as a tool to feel better, not as a tool to understand how you feel what you feel. You’re using it superficially so you will get superficial not-lasting results just like bleaching your asshole (its only good for 2 hours then you take your first shit..)
You Fight Less w/Your Partner
BULLSHIT: Some fighting is always going to happen when you’re in a relationship, but a lot of this gets taken care of simply by taking a romp on the treadmill or doing your free-weights routine.
This picture is unreal as this bullshit that fighting less will prevent you from cheating, old people only fuck in a slow an ugly fashion, there is no happiness in senility
THE REALITY: First off arguments just don’t happen during the times when the gym is open and empty for you to come in, sweat all over and effectively abuse the equipment. Working out will maybe help get some tension out for you but what about that narcissistic troll you live with. Chances are they will want to stew in the emotion and dwell on it while your in the gym so they can unleash unknowable amounts of vitriol on you. You see what happens, your spouse can’t yell back at their supervisor or boss, they cannot yell at their parents for ruining their life, or their ex-boyfriends who tea-bagged them/fucked them over some how and never called the next day.
You on the other hand because you “love” this people have become a toilet for all their shit. While they went and spew all their noxious shit at you you contemplate leaving but you wont because your a pussy, your comfortable and will only have to get with someone else to have the same shit happen.
What about make up sex you say?
One physically nice moment between two horrors. Its like that 5 minute stretch you get to give your legs between bouts of gut wrenching diarrhoea, yeah it feels good but so what.
You’re Less Available
BULLSHIT: The fact is that when you’re at the gym… you’re not at home and you’re not on dates with your significant other.
THE REALITY: You’re now physically unavailable but you have been emotional psychologically and mentally checked out for awhile now
The Jealousy Card
BULLSHIT: A little jealousy can be a powerful part of maintaining a romantic relationship. The truth is that when you say you’re going to the gym, your partner will know you’re around a lot of hard-bodied members of the opposite sex and that your eyes will probably be wandering.
REALITY: When your spouse gets jealous they will only further get insecure about themselves and a whole host of personal self-identity issues will come up creating more problems for you as they will soon close in on themselves to contemplate their own self-worth. How does that extra meal of insecurity anxiety that you just got served with taste like?

Got to Give a Happy BDay to Big Mama Smiles, AKA Becca from the internationally reknown 25tofly blog. Her blog is WordPress’ proverbial house of the Rising son, many a poor boy like myself have spent a lot of time there over the last year when we should have been at work ducking out bosses and trying to get out early without anyone noticing. I have nothing to give Big Mamma because I am scared to cross the Mason Dixon line but until I conquer my fear here is a personalize card just for you.
Hope you are well, and have enjoyed life in the meanwhile and also the Oscars, although I suspect you aren’t a fan of Seth MacFarlane’s style of humor and the debates about violence in Django Unchained. I figured for an easier segway into things is to give you an update
1. Major dispute with the landlord. I’ve to leave the apartment by b June 1 Due to a fall out of this argument between the aforementioned parties There is also no gas for cooking which I don’t mind but I bout a crap ton of stuff from Costco
2. There was a massive plumbing issue that rendered the bathroom facilities out of use for half a week. Which lead to more arguments with management and made life hell on earth. Well not exactly hell on earth, hell is a big place according to Dante’s inferno. If I had to be specific in my comparison I would equate things to the third circle in the Inferno with the raining putrefaction
There were many other stressful things going on but I cannot remember at the moment, but that’s life I suppose. Chekhov said: Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out. Luckily I am not worn out that much, I see people on the train and they are in truly a deplorable state in terms of being worn out, they seem more worn out than the bathrooms in the rest areas outside Washington DC on I495
BTW Have you ever driven there? Its an awesome trip through reality, I guess that is odd to me as DC itself, well the center of it, is immune to the ravages of reality
Cya
Yes Folks
My day of floor sleeping and crashing in my family’s place are over thankfully since where I sleep in the living room is drafty, and about 7 feet from the bathroom that where raw sewage seem to come out of the tub. It’s a toss up between having the window open and freezing to death of occasionally getting wafted with what must have been the Marquis de Sade’s fingers after a bad date, he was into anal ( see what I did there…. fucking nailed it..err )
I am working two jobs and on the subway travelling about 15 hours a week on the subway, I am still reading, learning things, working out etc
I am almost out of the fire many good things are coming down the pipeline and I am almost out of the clearing, by my bday if all goes according to plan I will be finally in a good place ! Funny thing about working out weird hours to use the shower is that you know how much of a shit old men dont give in the locker room drying their ball with those overly powered hand dryers. Some things can never been un-seen.
I woke up early today hit the gym, went over my lecture in my mind for my students got to work reviewed some programs I wrote a while ago that are integral to the tailor made data analysis pipeline I created that interfaces with my databases. It’s was a fulfilling start to a day when all of a sudden something unsavory happened when I stepped into the work elevator. A lady grabbed her purse and yes stepped closer to the wall creating the maximum distance between her and me. I’m not bother by it in the slightest. It happens all the time plus other people came on
Funny Youtube Video
& Psychology Today Tie-in
There is a youtube video on this topic exactly check them out:
Eric is here with some insight into typical racist behavior. You can have a laugh at racism in our spoof-PSA.
A psychologist working for psychology today had a problem with this video. He said:
To wit, anything that makes three million people take notice is worthy of some positive regard, particularly when stereotypes of Black criminality are so widely held, particularly when the criminal justice system is racially biased beyond repair. The purse-grab may seem like a subtle act, but it’s horrifically destructive in its (often unconscious) assumption of violence and criminality — in Black women, as well as Black men, in other people of color too. I’m glad someone is calling our attention to it. I just wish it were done in a way that had a chance at being effective and didn’t denigrate women in the process.
The word “Bitch” is denigrating, demeaning, dehumanizing. And all that aside, its use in this context reinforces the very negative stereotypes it tries to dispel.
he was upset by the misogyny in the video.
The Dilemma
I have seen the bitch used many ways that are not always negative or misogynistic. Also the term bitch is in response to what seems to be an egregious insult. What do you think is this a case of misogyny?
What not to do during black history month
Simply put keep on with the elevator thing don’t worry about it. But dont use the word bitch in conversation. Why because when you deliberately ignore nuance anything and everything is possible.
On a side note:
Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance
I may be wrong and not know much about anything, but I know music and food. Well I think I do because that’s what TV tells me about my ethnicity. Here is some great music and a picture of cornbread. Happy Black History Month.
Maybe it is because I am very old school but I feel that its hard to really be totally immersed into what I am doing or in this case in particular enjoying if I am taking pictures all time. I remember I talked about this is a post I wrote called: The Cowboy from the Village People, Baudrillard, Twitter and some Sexy Rumpus . Here are some salient posts from that post:
from the AMNY newspaper interview with Randy Jones, 59, is the original cowboy in The Village People on the 5/6/2012 issue:
Randy Jones, Village People cowboy on NYC’s nightlife evolution
Q. How has New York City nightlife changed since the disco era?
A. We were the last generation able to truly live in the moment. We didn’t have voice mail and cell phones and were the last generation unburdened by the constant demands of technology. When we went out to dance, we were dancing. We weren’t taking a photo or a video of it – we were having the actual experience. (Young people today) are distracted from actually living the moments in their lives. I don’t know if people have less fun now, but everything they do is distracted. They don’t know what it’s like to not have information shoved at them from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed.
Social Commentary & Funny pics
Of course I talked about how the government doesn’t have to spend so much money and effort to spy on us because we do that for them with our consistent picture taking and all this other I would supposed dystopian sorta practices hidden under the mask of social media and sharing . But there are many other things that can be said about this practice of distancin and distracted ourselves from living the moment of our lives. Check out this photo:
I dunno why these videos makes me laugh. I think it’s because I have an overly developed sense of humor and spent to much time alone as a child
Pranks that aren’t Funny
This one I didn’t find funny at all. One time my lady was shampooing and conditioning her hair with some extremely oily shit ( for rejuvenation of hair or some shit) and as I was getting into the shower I slipped because the hair blocking the drain made the water go down slow and co everything was coated with a residue of conditioner. I fucking snapped all my shit up
This could have gotten wrong and gotten some dudes beat down.
Granted this was posted by Eminem’s daughter but still this is just proof of something I emphatically have been saying for a long time. She is an emotional vampire that takes her pain mixes it with tht of others around her and channels it into an album.
Notice though the type of pain she absorbs. She isn’t singing about the single mom Ms Jenkins Working 2-3 jobs who has a trifling boyfriend that wont man up. She isn’t singing about this chick I know who is working and going to school and sending $$ back home to support her family. She doesn’t sing about real life shit. As is said where I’m from:
