30 + 1

Over the weekend 30 got an upgrade. I moved from the 30 doorway and fully into the cascade of the years which will now be forever known as My 30’s. 

On the 17^th Nina took me to dinner at The Melting Pot followed by the Floetry Concert at the TLA. Dinner was amazing, being that this was Nina’s first time trying fondue, she was very open to the idea and enjoyed it. So much that she said she would like to return so that’s where we will be doing dinner for her upcoming birthday. The concert was great. Seeing Natalie and Marsha back on the stage blessing us with their musical melodies and talent revived my soul. 

The 18^th, my actual birthday, we had a BBQ with friends at my home. Nina decided to surprise me with a Stripper which was supposed to turn our evening into fun but ended up being more of a letdown. Let’s just we know which agency to never use again and to strictly recruit our entertainment from our local stripclubs. Once the hustler left we continued to have a wonderful time. Nina asked me if she could take me away next year for my birthday. I told her of course she could. 

My 31 Reflection: Life has been giving me so many blessings. 2015 has turned out to be a great year for me professionally and personally. I got to spend my birthday with a great partner who’s family loves and adores me so much that her Mother called and sang happy birthday to me and will be making a birthday dinner complete with my favorite cake this coming weekend. 

Next Up: Movin’ On In. Nina and I will be living together…

Hello Marriage Equality, What The Hell Took You So Long?

Pride Month wrapped up with the Supreme Court of the United States declaring the ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional, therefore Gay and Lesbian couples who wish to marry are now afforded the same rights, benefits and protections under federal and state laws as the Breeders. No doubt this ruling has brought out the homophobes and nay sayers…and those who you thought were supporters of the Gay and Lesbian community are suddenly showing how much they are playing for Team Homophobe. 

I had a family member tell me that her sister, whom I have always regarded as my sister and have been out in front of my entire life, said to some other family members that she doesn’t understand why she allows her teenage daughter to be a Lesbian. Allow? She doesn’t have a choice in this whatsoever, she was born a lesbian whether you want to accept the science behind it or not. I was so heated over this news that I took Facebook, went to my baby cousin’s page and posted for the entire world to see that I love her for who she is, despite how others may judge her life. She is a whole person 24/7/365 and those who truly love you will love all of you not just pieces of your that they agree with. Another cousin who is a minister’s wife posted that she doesn’t agree with homosexuality but finds it hard to support her family and friends who are homosexual. Ummm excuse me Miss Fake First Lady of the church but weren’t you identifying as lesbian back in high school? You had a full fledge lesbian relationship. Now you don’t agree with homosexuality when you identified as one? Right…

So called Christians using the bible to only suit their argument against same sex marriage, yet they don’t want to talk about how divorce is a sin, cohabitation before marriage is a sin, premarital sex is a sin, having children out of wedlock is a sin, having affairs is a sin. And the list goes on and on. But we don’t talk about that, right? Right…

I’m glad Marriage Equality is here because it’s exposing people for the fakes and two faced wannabes they truly are. I know where I stand with certain family members and which Christians are truly Christians. 

In other news, Dad’s retirement party went well…except for the freeloading motherfuckers who showed up who were not invited. One thing is for sure, I need to get my girl some dance lessons because she cannot dance! LOL! She has to learn before we attend our first wedding together…
