MTV: Randomness and a poem

First, I must say did ya'll see my girl Britney on the MTV Awards last night? She looked hot! I am so happy for her. She won an award, and she said just enough. She has made a total turn around. I knew it was possible. I also knew that man K. Fed is what brought her down. She didn't have all of those problems until she got with him. Nonetheless, she is still fabulous!!

Lil Wayne also did his thing crankin' that Roosevelt. :) I think guys who can ditty bob are sexy! I just wish he would pull his pants up. I find nothing attractive about a man with his underwear exposed. It's a sign of immaturity and extra-ness, and I will pass on that tip.

Tip!! OMG..if you didn't know I love him. His performance was on point, and he looked handsome as usual. Tameka and Clifford make the greatest hood couple. They do as they please, but they know where home is. He is sexy none the less, for a lil dude. I think it's mostly his swagger, and I must admit I have a thing for guys with an "Atlanta" accent. YUH!

Katie Perry..Luv the song.. But what did she have on last night? The top was cute, but where she went wrong is tucking the damn thing into her spandex shorts. You could see the imprint of her top. Not sexy at all.

Rhianna...is so hot. She is really a rocker chick, and I dig that. She looked amazing in all black *My fav color, besides purple*....Her boy Mr. Brown seems to be really supportive of her. I am happy for them. Now if everyone could stay out of their business Carter style then everything would be alright.

Relationship business is not other peoples business. :)

*****************************************

You walked out of that musty house
Where your..nightmare lived
November 2003, late at night
An ellipses in your last days
Because we are left
To fill in the blanks

Your grandmother
Sat at her kitchen table
Newport soft pack
Within arms reach
Martel and coffee
She had her weed
And her papers
As she picked
Out the seeds
She watched you leave
She was getting high
On your last goodbye

You were 18
But missing part of your brain
So they say..
I know now they never
Gave you a fair chance
At reaching your full potential
You were disadvantaged
From the start
Stuck in Stern Bronson
Special Ed..
A beautiful girl
Light Skinned, Long hair
In the black community
We are perceived
.... as weak
An object...
To share
Or abuse..
And overuse

Where you went wrong
is. that. you
Believed it..
And gave in
To any and every dude

You walked off
And ended up
Never ending sleep
They found you
Dead on the side
Of some Benton Harbor street
Nothing but bones
Had to do an DNA test
To identify you
Because they didn't have..
Dental records
Apparently, you had never been
...to the dentist
In your 18 years
Of life..
Total

When we found out
They confirmed what we already knew
Somebody snatched you up
And killed you
Where we come from
There is no hope for
One single clue
An unsolved mystery
Is unsolved alright
But your blood is still
Present on someones hands
Forever, until he joins you
In his own grave..

Your memory will not be forgotten
Not by me as long as my fingers speak
The truth and how I see it
Ms. Ashley
Because for you..
I will write...
To keep your spirit alive

D1- it was my cousin. My her we go I'm going to do it how we do..lol It was my dads aunt's daughters daughter. She was a couple of months older than me. Back then I was so involved in my own life that I missed what was going on with her.I think I could of in some way helped. You live and you learn huh at the expense of others.

PCD- thanks hunny. It feels so good.
