The DeadBeat Mother Vs The DeadBeat Father


There really is no comparison.

Some women believe that their only duty in raising a child is to push them out.

Some father's believe that their only duty as a father is to provide the sperm cell.

Then they take it upon their own decision to

KEEP IT HOT.

Leaving this child handicapped of atleast ONE parent to guide them through life.

Funny, you'll catch the same deadbeat father screaming.."Life is a bitch!"

Well, imagine what your son is thinking, when they can't make the right "manly" decision, due to lack of guidance.

Or what your daughter thinks when the first man who calls her pretty asks for some of her jewels.

Could you imagine?

Of course you could imagine. You too were once a child.




Now, I can talk about deadbeat fathers all day.

But deadbeat mothers are all in a league of their own.

Excuse my French but B*TCHES.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Where are your maternal insides?

The connection between a child and his or her mother is UNEXPLAINABLE.

When this is absent, you take on the resemblence of some ALIEN.

What the hell are you?

Where did you come from and why don't you go back?

Daily, young women are molded into being what they should NOT be.

And there you GO.

Giving NOTHING to the young girl who will grow up a confused woman. Hopefully, society will be kind to her and allow her to mold correctly.

Hopefully.

I mean is that what you think when you wake up in the morning and tend NOT to your children, but to other things that have no assistance in you being a better woman?

We must not, as mothers allow what happened in our past, reflect how we will present ourselves in our future.

Not one drug addiction, man addiction, poverty level, or any other hangup should discourage you from being a MOTHER to your child.

Nothing.

Its not how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up.

Not one of us is perfect. In our children's eyes we are valuable.

Respect that.

Understand That.

Get on your jobs because NOTHING is worse than a DEadbeat Mother.


Nothing.



Today's announcement was short and straight to the point.

Feel free to add to my blogspot and let deadbeat mothers know how you feel.

Thanks

ACT NOW: An HIV Crisis (Listen Up!)


I dawned on me this morning to talk about this.

Put you all on to something that no one ever talks about.

Those who know me probably guessed it, but its HIV.


See, I'm from the south and the CDC told me a couple years ago that there was a state of emergency and need to ACT on HIV/AIDS NOW..in my old community.

See, I sat on a panel of great and annointed HIV community activists, from the great Minister Forbes of NY, to a man who contracted HIV on death row, after being convicted falsely.

Each one of the persons, along with self, explained to the audience what they saw in the HIV community and the problems that watered stigmas to grow.

Such as


-Miseducation

-Shame

-Guilt

-Ignorance


and so forth....

Just a couple days ago it was HIV Advocacy Day

and well..


as usual.

Guess who were absent?

My people.

Where were you?

We gotta fight this and the only way we can do it successfully is to get educated, educated each other, and get tested each year.

Know your status.


Speaking on this state of emergency.


First off do you know how much HIV medications cost???

I couldnt afford them and I know the average black American couldnt afford them.

A regimen of meds can exceed multiple thousands of dollars.

Thats right.

Now, I don't want to narrow this down to the black race, but right now this is my audience and I need for you guys to listen up.


ADAP- Is a government funded HIV medication drug assistance program. In other words, if a person is HIV positive and cannot afford the medicines that can help them stay alive, then ADAP provides these medicines TO THEM.

Enabling them to a normal life, when taken correctly and acting compliant in medical care.

A common thing for a person who tests positive for HIV asks is

"How long will I stay alive?"


Well, with 75 percent of the ADAP waiting list dwelling in the south, I'm not really sure if I could answer this question.

Right now...


501 people in North Carolina are on an ADAP waiting list.

in South Carolina only 81

and in Kentucky 200..


You guys this is a crisis.

Real talk.

My father, your family member, an HIV positive child, and whomever else is waiting patiently to get the drugs they need to survive.

And all we really need to do is speak up about it?


What good are meds to people who can't afford to get them?

They are no good, and I see the stress on those men and women, waiting patiently for their name to be pulled out of the lottery....

only to be told

that they have a chance at fighting HIV b/c they can now recieve meds.


There is a bill, created by the Senate of the U.S.

Your area representative

My area representative


They need to know about this.


PLEASE ACT NOW.


The bill is called "The Access ADAP Act"


Call your senator rep


Richard Burr...Kay Hagan (examples)


and educate them on this bill.

This bill if passed will bring us more money, that will ease up the waiting list crisis.

This heavy waiting list crisis in North Carolina.

Especially.



Remember OUR PEOPLE NEED THIS.

HIV has taking taken over our communities.

Our brothers and sisters live with this disease day in and day out.

First off, they have to be quiet about their status, because its that shame and guilt that stigmas have placed in their conscience.

Then, on top of all of that nonsense, they are stressing day to day about not being able to get HIV medications.


Call your rep today.

Email your rep today.

Write a letter and mail it off today.


C'mon guys.

Five minutes.

Five hundred lives.


Lets get it.

"Ladies You Are Game. Don't Get Caught So Easily"


Reality.


With my upcoming and new projects, involving much older and mature women than myself, I've often thought about topics involving the opposite sex AKA our s/o's from Mars.


Today's topic inspired by a good advisor and friend of mine.

Today's topic.


"Ladies you are game. Stop getting caught so easily".



We all love to quote the values and duties of real men, yet we settle with men who only present these qualities during the "chase" or the intiation process (for some of us). Then *poof*.


Those qualities crawl up under a rug right along with their dirty socks and t.v. remote.

I've heard of wonderful fairytale imagery having relationships of associates and friends, and then before I can spin around there is a break-up floating around, ready to land.

In our laps.


Why?

Because we then find out that the man we once valued as such a "good man", has expired into a spoiled milk form.

Ruined.

Why?

Easy.

You did it.

You allowed him to catch you.

You fell to the game by tripping up, instead of keeping him on his game of chase.

Please follow Tiphani Montgomery on Twitter (s.n. Author Chakara too), because homegirl put me on to buckoo secrets, when it comes to these deer hunting egos we deal with day to day.


Now whose looking for real men?

B/c if you are not, then I suggest you to go find another blog topic for today.

This one isn't for your sweets.


Real men *aheM* love the art of traditional childhood act of "chasing."

Let's let them play hard ladies.
Reference the very popular hunting games men huddle up and participate in year round.

The girl who teases the boy next door, with her subtle smiles and light blushing, while brisking past him silently, eagers him MORE

than the girl next door whose always IN HIS FACE, smiling, confessing how much she's really fallen for him.

She's way too easy.

She's caught in other words.

He'd rather chase the private admirerer.

The one who gives him a run for his manhood.


Some tend to believe that old timing chilvary acts, such as: opening the car door for his woman, running to her rescue providing safety, taking off his jacket in the midst of chilly weather for his woman to have it, him always picking upt he tab, etc etc.....HAVE ALL EXPIRED.


Yeah, they've expired because of YOU all. (lol)

You all (and self in the past) have allowed them to catch you too easily, now these chases are only short-lived and gentlemen acts are no longer needed as catching tools.

In fact, these men are not needing any tools any longer to catch their game.

Alot of women practically wound THEMSELVES with imaginary victory, believing they have him in their grasps ALREADY, landing themselves, keepsakes included, on these men's doorsteps.


Chase over.

He's now bored.

Now, you wonder why he's on the prowl for his next prize.

Stop letting him catch you so easily.

I don't care how many odd stares he give you.

He's a man, and he will be confused for a minute.

But then...

If he really wants it bad enough...

He will realize that he loves this chase.

He wants to continue running after this.

And no matter what....

He's going to get it.


Run him until his tongue falls slightly out of his mouth, and he's thirsty for attention hydrates.

Real talk.

Don't fall or do one of those cheesy horror movie trip ups.

Keep dodging.

Stand at that door and wait for him to open it.

Kick the independent woman ego to the side for a minute, until he has TRULY deserved your assistance.

Pick up a tab on a date if you want to *snide eye* and jump right off of a plank afterwards.

He'll go on another chase, and it will not be after you.

You've been warned.

Get him used to being the man and doing EVERYTHING a man should do before you cop out and go easy on him.


Go Go!

Men: Lets Chop It Up (Ladies Feel Free To Join)


Now,
Maybe I will never get married, and I'm okay with that.
I'll marry my money.
They're presidents anyways. (hmph.)

But...
Time and time again I become annoyed by the BASIC sh*t men do, in their act of trying to catch on the playing field.
I really don't like doing lists, because for me, they like never end.
This one especially.
Like Deejay Lil Bee says "cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud".
I wish men would STOP the madness.

Lets begin.

1. Control your EYES before you approach me all "gentlemen" like: B/c you know that crap is a front. If you just assumed the role of "Chester the molester" with your eyes crawling all over my curvy goodness, what the hell makes you think that I view you as Kirk Franklin the minute you greet me? I saw you watching. Control your eyes.

2. Stop claiming that you are PAID, when you are really in the struggle like everyone else. The fact that you drive a Mercedes means NOTHING, when you address contains an APT. # in it. Priorities backwards bruh? Hmmmmm. Yeah, you're right. A woman wants a man whose independent with his own everything, including his own money. But...we also appreciate an HONEST hard working man, with his own everything. It doesnt REALLY matter how much he makes, as long as he's making an honest living and taking care of himself.

3.Build on your conversation. Most of y'all dont be talking about SH*T. Do I look like I have time to waste on DULL conversations? Every other sentence you're using your same generic response. "Oh okay..Cool...Thats wassup.." ; I (neutral face). Isnt it strange that everytime you call her, she has some sudden emergency to end the phone call after about the first two minutes? Nah its not strange, its the reality of BORING CONVERSATIONS. Read some books, buy Rosetta Stone,...or something!!!

4. Stop carrying WADS of money around. Bank account foreign to you? Or are you just fascinated with the ILLUSION of number 3. Just because you took all of your twenties and wrapped them around a bunch of ones does NOT fool the majority. In fact, if anything you look poorer than you PRETEND you're not, because your money isnt growing interest. Just pocket lint and some mo' ish. You look financially illiterate, and the ringless brother sitting at the table NEXT to you without a date, who pulls out his black VISA, is who YOUR date is now looking at. Smile.


5. Find clothes and wardrobe accessories that FIT your age. Notice I didn't say your body, but your age pa'tna. If your kids are old enough to give birth, a Celtics jersey and fitted cap should NOT be your every day attire. With age, your wardrobe should also mature. White tees and Nikes should not be your chosen outfit for the summer, when you are complaining about the rain making your muscles ache. C'mon now, in a few years your behind might need dentures, why are you investing in a mouth full of gold teeth at 35?


6. Stop wearing them FAKE *ss PRADAS. Maybe this is just something I see in the South, but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I'd be HOT if I was the designer of Prada. I've seen dudes with those joints on, sole all DUSTY, as if they had been playing street ball on gravel. Quit playin!!!!! Pradas should never touch gravel. LOL Moving right along.....


7. Stop whispering in my ear, in club or bar atmospheres!!!! I cant HEAR YOU. Its like FIVE speakers behind us, but you wanna LEAN over and whisper sweet nothings in the mist of Jay Z blasting thru the speakers. This is NOT the place. Nonetheless, your breath stinks. Pop gum and wait until the club, bar, or whatever ENDS. Dueces


8. Stop buying rims when you really could use a transmission. Yeah you might be on 30's but the frame of your car looks like its on popsicle sticks, PLUS, you doing the JOOK at every light, because that mothersucker doesnt want to kick into gear. But you swear you're riding high though. Gotta question for the streets huuuuuuuh! (Plies voice) Who passed inspection?


9. Further your education. Like foreal. All jokes aside, my black men, you are all KINGS, but you cant reign any kingdoms when you dont know what MLA format is. Must I mention that you learned that as early as 10th grade, so dont give me any excuses about "college not being for you", because apparantly High School wasnt either. You are starting a record label, but your hands dont even know what a GED certificate feels like? C'mon son.


Last but not least.....

10. Be a REAL Father to your kids, before wanting another woman to call you daddy. I don't know about y'all, but its rare finding a brother without KIDS. Not saying its impossible, but it is definitely RARE (after 28 yrs old). NOW....although it is rare to find a kidless man, it is COMMON to run into a man who chases skirt tails like squirrels chase nuts. Now do you see my correlation? Men, please be a real father to your children. Not just a child support payer, a sperm donor, or a drop bye dad, but a HANDS on dad. Do that first. Then your chase wont seem so damn frantic. You do good..you get good. Become a father today!

Y'all know I love yall at the end of the day.
Gold TEEF, dishonest pick up lines, dusty Pradas and all...

but y'all annoy me on a good day.

Big up!

*snicker*

The Love Assassination



-says the single lady who stays clear of men who may cause death of the only thing she has that pumps blood AND gives her the ability to FEEL.




HER heart.




Speaking from a woman's point of view, when we LOVE, we love hard. Its in our nature to love with our everything, because well....we rely on our emotions for everything. Our emotions sometimes serve as our guidance, and although this may seem like a weak admittal.....its our strength in a lot of ways.


A woman's love is so pure and STRONG that without the nuturing and warm embrace of a MOTHER, infants would die. Hmmph. Take that.
(lol)

Our emotions serve as our strength as well as our weakness.


Our emotions are what we rely on when all else fails.


This is why we are vital pieces of this planet.


Without emotion guided creatures by nature, this world would be COLD


Antartic COLD.


Catch that lol.




I created this blog because so many times, love hurts, and women need that WARNING sign placed in front of them year round.


This blog serves as a detour from that agonizing pain you will experience if you do not feel for whats in front of you before indulging.


Choose carefully.


You don't want that hurt.


That uncontrollable hurt.


That hurt that leaves you daydreaming of "what could have been", beating yourself up with "why me's" , and committing the crazy crimes of "serial calling and texing."




Ladies who have been in breakups they couldnt really control, should definitely understand this feeling.


A woman who slides all of her chips on to the playing table, and gets them all taken away by her love opponent.




Its a man's nature to block emotion. During bad breakups, women often wonder why they're not getting the response they really want from the man who broke their heart.


We would really like for the accused, or "box-cutter" of the relationship", to say.."Baby, I'm sorry. I love you. Let's work it out."




BUT




Normally that doesn't happen. I mean a dog will commit a DOG act, and carry out his mutty role until the end.


And well...usually when we do get those types of mushy submissions...we don't really want them.


We have this thing with wanting something RARE from a man, because its gives us the EMOTION of feeling special.


We appreciate it because we know that he wouldn't normally react that way.


Yeah I know....


Yeah we are confusing creatures.


Dont ask.




As women, we want things from certain men that we just will not get.


Thats what you call unrealistic LOVE.




Its not realistic for love to survive, in the midst of tainted trust and a combustion of lies.


Its not realistic for love to cause relentless tears and vocal cord straining screams of "why?"


Its not realistic for love to make one unbalanced in life, deflecting them from everyday life duties.


Its not realistic to love someone before loving your damn self.




You will become assassinated by this unrealistic type of love.


It might be one of those bloody spills type too.


BE AWARE.




If he ACTS like he's capable of HURTING YOU.


He will.


If he ACTS like your feeling dont matter to him.


They dont.


If he TELLS YOU he doesnt love you.


He doesnt.




Simple.




Dont become....






ASSASSINATED BY LOVE.




Step wisely.

The Life's Gamble Series--The Connection Between "Life's Gamble & Hard Dreams"


Now, this is an informative yet informal blog post.
I am a new author and I'm releasing the second part of my Life's Gamble Series, entitled "Hard Dreams".
I actually released the original story, targeted at young mature women, who maybe just finding themselves at the start of a new beginning.

When I was 24 I was finding myself feeling too old for certain bad decision making. I believe that women go thru massive changes or shifts in maturity. So many of the changes bring buckoo amounts of stress. From talking with lots of women, my age, they shedded their key destructive immaturity around...average twenty three (twenty-four) years of age.

I thought my readers would understand the many situations, we encounter as young women, forcing us to make new and scary decisions. Life's Gamble, is told by two best friends, of different wealth classes, who reunite after five years, while both go thru relationship changes contaminated with lots of evil.

Fallon Stevens, 24, comes from a rougher side of the tracks. Government housing, crack addicted parents, an exhausted grandmother guardian, a ruthless young brother, and a drug dealing baby's father make up her past days. In Life's Gamble she thirsts for a quench of sanity,after bringing a life into this world and running from her past.

Regina, her best friend, from the lengthy acres of North Raleigh, NC, comes from a high pedestal held by her secure and wealthy parents. She indulges into a world that they would forbid....IF...they only knew what her "college life" consisted of.

One friend cries out for help and the other a forgives their past squabble and places out a helping hand. You have to read to find out which one.

When I tell you this places you on the front row of the audience, surround sound, it does the job. I'm not just bragging on my work, but "Life's Gamble" has been described as been a page turner from page 1 (Read chapter 1 in my notes on facebook).

It's an upbeat suspense tale of two best friends who gamble with their lives, while trying to hold on to something very dear to them. In Fallon's case its her sanity and safety of her child, and in Regina's case its her reputation and her life from crumbling.
This book as mind blowing turns and very disturbing info inside of it.
I use this book to shed light on HIV/AIDS as well. (hint hint)
Go and buy it on amazon right now if you want. (SN: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0615327605/ref=cm_sw_su_dp)

Anywhoo.
Hard Dreams is a REWIND, for my readers. A lot of my readers became intrigued in two of my favorite characters of "Life's Gamble".

1.) Fallon, who was one of the story tellers in "Life's Gamble", and 2.) Jersey, who was her vicious child's father who plays a huge part in Life's Gamble (but didn't get to tell the story).

My readers wanted to know about Fallon and Jersey's life before "Life's Gamble" took place. Remember, in "Life's Gamble" Fallon is trying to escape her past. I reel you in with a terrifying home invasion scened, experienced by the young pregnant Fallon and Jersey.
My readers wanted to know what Fallon's past was like.
So, that is just what Hard Dreams delivers.

The young Fallon, 20 and young Jersey,23 both tell the story. Its a young love tale in the fast lane of drugs, crime, infidelity, and abuse.

Its told by Fallon, and the one character my readers have been waiting to hear from, Jersey Squires.

Yes, as a FEMALE author, I assume the position of this vicious, murderous, controlling, dictating, drug dealing, thug of a man, who chases poor Fallon, in "Life's Gamble" away from her old self.

And dammit...


I do a hell of a job lol.
Yes, Jeresy speaks in "Hard Dreams", and three things I can say about him would be:

1.) He is arrogant
2.) He is wealthy
3.) He loves sex

Thats what Hard Dreams does. It really brings a rare uncut "street" to "urban erotica", with a down south spin to it. This book is very R rated. It contains alot of sex. Alot of sex.
Its hard but there are spontaneous sex scenes.
The young Jersey has a prostitute ring down in Florida. Four "bad b*tches" so he says.
Yes, all in Hard Dreams.

So there will be a part three.....YOU GOTTA READ LIFE"S GAMBLE FIRST...NO MATTER WHAT.

1. Life's Gamble
2. Hard Dreams
3. The crave part III lol (for a minute, then I'll hit yall off )

Please ask questions..I will answer them.

Sorry it took so long to explain this. Thanks alot : )

My Top Ten Most Annoying Facebook Posters


Facebook is the way of today's hustle and everyday communication with those we don't see face to face. (well at least from what I see day to day). Those who use it might aim to promote or put something on the market, using the site as a tool.
Or
We might share our pictures, chop it up with the friend from elementary school (in which you haven't seen in a decade), or share a note or whatever (lol).

But we all see those annoying *ss posts, that make us say....."aw shut the hell up would ja?"
Now no offense, cause on a bad week I might end up in one of these categories myself. Personally, I try to sprinkle a couple in together, so that I don't annoy someone else lol. This is all in fun, and simply shows the moods we get in and create names for ......well...... folks who just annoy the hell out of us.

Tonight I present to you Chaka-Talk's Top Ten Annoying Facebook Posters.


1. The Single-Sunday, Married-Monday, Complicated-Tuesday Poster Now I have two types of these to address. The kid poster (18 under) and the adult poster (18+).
KID...if you don't get a book on your mind you will end up like Octamom without the paparazzi. Fallback. You are not even old enough to get married, yet you change your facebook status as if your mother conducts weddings in the backyard.
Fall Back.
Get something on your mind that will bring you a fruitful future. All you pretty much have right now is time. Alot of time it, especially if you use it wisely.
If not...remember Octamom minus contracts and paparazzi.
ADULT......fire whoever got you going crazy like Usher or get some sex and shut the heck up. Nonetheless who are you alerting or reminding?
Yourself?


2. The "I Got So Many Haters, So I'mma Let That Be Known Everyday" Poster. First off, question: Are they hating on how much web time you gettin in? Because you've always screamed you have haters, but you never provide any substantial evidence of anything to be hated on. Nonetheless, do you have any other conversation besides what everyone else thinks of you? Now please understand that there are some people who are really hated on, and every now and again, a hater may have to be addressed.
Maybe.
I'll give myself a day for that frustration.
A post.
Maybe.
But....not every day for breakfast lunch and dinner posting.

3. The Angry Dirty Mouth Poster.
You are so mad that you log on to the internet to spazz out.
Everyday.?
Thats gangsta homiie!!! *daps fakeout/Bruce Lee slap*
Stop that shaaaaaaat! LOL
What are you fighting with??? The keys???? The mouse????
Yaaaaaaaaaaaah trick Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Get your frustrations out. Do that. Soulja Boy's joint. It works for me.


4.The Non-Spelling Poster.
Waht did oUY Jsut Say?
Just log off, cause if you log on here once more, trying to thank the Lord in cavemen letters I'm canceling my account.
On a bad day, I have at it.
I curse myself out. Why is he/she gettin online with that bs today!!???
lol. Dictionary.com. Pull up another internet window if need be. Rely on it, heavily,
Until you learn to spell you need not come on facebook.
End.

5.The Undefeated Champion In-Boxers.
These mofos will give me thirty notifications in ten minutes.
Facebook won't even operate that fast!!
Somebody please tell me how Charlie Chocolate can send me thirty personal inbox messages promoting Hershey trafficking in five minutes?
I cant even get to the messages in my inbox without having to delete one hundred repetitive messages.
Quit playin!! Ugh!!!

6.The Happy Poster.
Smile.
Matter fact, you should already be smiling. Every post for you is a happy one.
Its a d*mn tornado in your county, the complex next to yours is blowing shreds right now!
But....
you're happy!
"Its just me and myself and I'm loving life and it feels so good. So what if my cat just got picked up in the tornado, I'm smiling! Happy Happy Happy!!!"
; I <<<< (my neutral face) We get it. Ugh.

7. The Twitter Poster.
Twitter.com...dueces!!
I understand that they all connect now but ugh. LOL
I personally don't like twitter, but "#@Dre1983 Yeah mane" is not necessarily some ish that makes sense to me.
As I scroll down my home page.
We facebookin over here, y'all are set trippin.

8.The Inappropriate Facebook Tagger.
Why do I want to see a video file of Cheaters?
Get that spam crap off of my paaaaaaaaaaaage! lol Chill Bill...sheesh! You tagged fifty people so, all afternoon, I'll get notifications of what they all said.
Why did you tag me in a picture of you in the mirror?
Hmmmmmmm.
Remove tag is such a wonderful option.
I encourage you to use it.

9. The Long *ssed Nickname Poster. Why did you have to add the rest of your name in a note because you couldnt fit all the letters in your info line, then tag me?
: I
Kenneth "ButwhenIgetrightdo'errybodygonehate" Adams you need ur behind whooped.
LOL. Folks giving their bill frustrations in their names.
Stop playing yourself.
Either keep your alias short and simple or use the name your mama gave you.
Ugh.
Kisha "ImnotgoingouttotheclubanymorecauseImsavednow" Jenkins.
Chilleee Chill.....like Beans says. Yikes.


And Last....but not least.....

10. The You Tube DJ Poster.
I believe you set your alarm everyday for 6am, to jump you bamma behind online and play songs all day thru the expense of YouTube, sharing the files to your lovely friends.
Are you a bot?
Have you been spammed?
Do you have a radio?
Or just the common decency to know I don't know what songs came out in 1960? I don't know if anyone actively on facebook does. Not to mention, I don't want to see them posted all day.
*Growls*
LOL Love you too!


Ha!

Currently, other posters applications are up for review. Processing time make take how ever long I feel like it. Please feel free to voice your concerns at yeahright@gmail.com
Smooches!
