As I flipped the channels, I realized why I read as much as I do. TV sucks. If it's not some housewives show, it's a sports wives show. All you see is loud, weave wearing black women making a mockery of themselves. It's just sad that Hollywood has turned it's back on original SCRIPTED TV. It's even sadder that those sports wives go to other countries and set back a race of women. Who gets that damned excited over cognac? Even the reality shows with so-called intelligent movers and shakers turned into screaming and fighting matches. I'm done with reality shows. I'm super done with black women exploiting each other for a dollar. I'm looking at you Mona. And VH-1 is the number one hater of black women! Followed by Bravo! OK, rant over. I'm going to read a book or finish writing one.

I'm too old to be popping out off spring, I don't have the desire to deal with another person in my space all the time. But thanks to pastors like Durham's Andy Thompson , I will never ever get married. Pastor Thompson seems to think it is OK for a man of God to call women hoes. Pastor Andy Thompson, founder of the World Overcomers Christian Church in Durham, recently instructed married women to “shine it up” so their husbands will remain faithful instead of letting the “hoes he comes across” catch his eye. So, if I'm correct, according to "Pastor Thompson" if I were to get married, I have to work out every day, keep my hair done, be the Michelle Obama to my husband's whatever. But what in the hell is my husband supposed to do? Sit at home and scratch his nuts? He can get fat, but I...
