Black Power
I came across this artist on Myspace. Her name is Ishe and her music is fresh! (check her out: www.myspace.com/ishemusic) I have to get in touch with her to see how I can get more of her music. She's got this beautiful, big, long natural hair. It made me think about going back natural! Lol. For like 2 seconds anyway. I always say one day I will go back to natural but we'll see. Only time will tell. Right now I'm content with relaxing. But I guess that's what I love about being black. We have so many great options when it comes to our hair. We can lock it, relax it, perm it, braid it, keep natural or if relaxed we can go back to natural and if we get tired of that, go back to relaxed. It's a beautiful thing!
The Puerto Rican parade was today. I didn't go though. Instead I met up with some of my new girlfriends at Central Park on the west side (so we ddn't run into the parade drama). We had a picnic and laughed and talked. We had a great time. I really enjoyed myself.
The sorors only bbq was yesterday and I enjoyed myself as well. I'm really contemplating being active again. It's a huge time and monetary commitment. I've got mad love for my sorority but I have one last credit card to pay off and let's face it, I can do plenty of community service with organizations like Goodwill that wont cost me to be a part of them. In my mind, I can't justify paying over $300 to be active again(that's made up of national dues, chapter dues, reactivation fee, and a couple diff donations the organization is spearheading) when I have one last credit card to pay off and I know good and well that needs to go to a payment on it. The quicker I gt this last card paid off, the better for me in the long run. I love my rhoyal blue and gold, but it can't increase my credit score, get me out of debt, or qualify me for a loan to buy me a house. It's a priority in my life, but it's not number one (God is number one) or two right now. I have to think with my mind and not my heart. Because my heart is like do it! My mind is like, girl you need to think things through. Because once I get active again, I'm still gonna have to buy other things and pay for other things and it adds up. We'll see what happens but from my financially savvy standpoint right now, it's not smart for me to do it RIGHT NOW. I will be active again, but just not right now. We'll see. I will think about it all summer and see what I want to do.
But all in all, I had a GREAT weekend. Now I'm off to do my relaxer retouch. Have a good night alls! Peace.
