What the (bleep) does Tyrese know?
Something beautiful happened on tv last night. Something I haven’t seen in a long time in reality television or television, in general, for that matter. We finally get a show that showcases a black family unit based on love and commitment. No ratchetness needed.
In case you’ve been living under a rock or stuck watching Sunday football with your honeybun, you missed a great premiere last night on VH1′s network. The show entitled, Lala’s Full Court Wedding.
The show follows MTV host Lala and husband-to-be, basketball star, Carmelo Anthony as they prepare to jump the broom.
I must admit, I was a little skeptical as to what show had to offer, but to my surprise it was an overall good wedding show. During the first episode we catch a glimpse of Lala’s personal dilemmas of handling the wedding on her own. We meet her mother and find out she isn’t receptive to La’s dad participating. And finally we get some words of advice from Lala’s dear old pal, actor Tyrese Gibson!
Now I’m a huge sucker for wedding shows, so this show reeled me in, instantaneously. However, at the end of the episode I had only one question: WHAT THE (BLEEP) DOES TYRESE KNOW?
He’s just too nice for me! PART II
So, last year I did a post on not wanting to date wimpy guys.
Wowzer! I received a lot more feedback than I expected to. While I agree with most of you on what you said, I couldn’t help but feel slighty insulted and attacked by one of my readers.

Are you addicted to love?
Answer yes or no to the below questions
1. Have you ever gotten out of one relationship just to get into another?
2. Do you have a tendency to control you mate?
3. Do you feel worthless if you’re not in a relationship or your partner isn’t around?
4. Is your relationship with you parents broken or non-existent?
5. Are you often depressed?
6. Do you avoid rejection or abandonment at any cost?
7. Do you perceive attraction, attachment, and sex as basic human needs, on a par with food and water?
8. Do you feel incomplete if you are not in a relationship?
9. Is it difficult for you to trust in a relationship?
10. Do you confuse sexual attraction with love (ex. love at first sight) ?
If you answered yes to more than 3 of the questions above you might be addicted to love. Sure it sounds nice, but love addictions are very serious and often dangerous things.
In most cases, love addictions are the cause for many suicides, murders, stalking, and rapes. Love addictions don’t really get much attention because most people don’t think that they’re real. However, they are in more ways than one.
Individuals can become consumed with a fantasy world and will scheme to obtain that romantic high. The questions listed above are symptoms of love addiction and most are related to co-dependency and intimacy dysfunctions, that could be a result of sexual/emotional abuse or childhood abandonment.

He’s just too nice for me!
Ok me and my girlfriends frequently have the discussion of what we’d like in a mate and what we don’t. A common theme of things we don’t like is the guy that is too nice! You know the guy who is overly emotional, way too into the relationship before it begins, gives you thousands of awkward compliments, and blows you phone up more than ten times within an hour period. Of course we don’t want to date a jackass, but the truth of the matter is that I would rather date a jackass over a nice guy any day!
Shocking right? No! I’m not the only girl in the world who feels this way. Ever heard the phrase nice guys finish last? It exist for a reason. The reason is that women, although we never say it, don’t want to be impressed. I’m not America Idol you can stop performing! With nice guys it feels like they are trying so hard to impress us or stand out from other guys that it is all an act. An act to show us that they can be Mr. Right and more! The truth is they only end up being Mr. Right Now… Until I Get a Boyfriend or My Best Male Bud!
Here’s the thing women just want sincerity. So anything that seems to be too extreme we don’t like and I’m unapologetic for that!
And you thought you had a bad relationship??

An Oldie but Goodie: Poetic Justice
Don’t Get Mad Get….
Do I really need to finish that statement? We all know it and we’ve all heard it before, but would you actually do it? Is it really worth it to make him/her feel the way they made you feel? Do you actually think after you get your revenge he’ll stay with you? What if you end up making one of the biggest mistakes of your life? These are all questions that people rarely ask themselves when in the early moments of finding out their mate has been deceitful. However, these are all the questions that people should ask themselves because sometimes the consequences of getting revenge on a mate can be degrading, despicable, evil, and darn right unspeakable. So the biggest question remains is it worth it? Is this the only way your heart can heal or will you end up the one feeling heartbroken and used? Hmm the moral dilemma many of us face all in the name of getting revenge. Revenge can be a very addicting thing. Revenge can suck you in and totally consume your life to being all about hurting someone else. Someone who you claim inflicted the worst pain on you that you ever felt so your only wish is to get him back. Well..wish granted! Below listed are some of the ways you can get back at your lying no-good mate morally and rottenly.
