Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Be Praised Forever,
The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Asiatic Black People
AKA Ma Bebies!

So, I had a really good night.

I was able to listen to my music all night

Like I used to do when I had my own place.

I can’t do it being homeless

Because my batteries will die.

But when I saw NEO in The Matrix,

Sleep with his headphones on…

I saw myself.

It’s so crazy because I have been awakened

Out of my sleep

When an exceptionally good song came on

That I had never heard before.

That is the BEST feeling in the world.

Sleep or awake

All you can do is listen.

It like “arrests” you.

And you can’t do anything but listen.

Ironically,

This was one of those songs

SO

All night, I felt like everybody was trying to get me to come out.

Like, I had a room, but I wasn’t supposed to go in until everybody else went in.

BUT

Why go out when everything you want is at home?

I mean, it’s about choices / priorities

Sure, Ellis Marsalis was playing live Jazz at a nice venue

BUT

I

FELT

LIKE

I

WAS

FINALLY

ALONE and SECURE

WITH

RAZZAQ

AND

THAT WAS

MORE IMPORTANT.

Now, I know I only have his picture but I feel his presence.

And he is MORE IMPORTANT than music!

There are a lot of things more important than music.

FIRST is ALLAH and ISLAM

SECOND is RAZZAQ

THEN IBNI

THEN MUSIC

He has a devil in his Quintet. So, I’m SO GLAD I didn’t go.

I woulda been pissed (probably)

Having left the comfort of a warm space with Razzaq

To go hear a devil.

I say, probably though

Because I’ve been to the Jazz Playhouse

And there was a devil on the bandstand

BUT THAT WAS FREE!

It costs $25 to get in to Snug Harbor!

I didn’t know that last night.

But they sound good.

I like how soft and smooth the playing is.

But I just went to Snug Harbor’s website and I remember passing by one night

When I was on Frenchman’s Street

And it did not look like no $25 joint.

Maybe $15

LOL

But I am really feeling Papa’s music.

I’ve only heard him backing Wynton

AND

That is one of my favorite songs

He (Wynton) plays with such feeling.

AND

It’s just dripping

NEW ORLEANS.

“I see your face in every flower…”

BUT

Looking at the video of Papa

Makes me wanna go here

http://www.lincolncenter.org/venue/dizzy-s-club-coca-cola

*sigh*

NYC, yet again…

BUT

Listening to Papa

Is Making Me Want To Spend The Duckets…

This video was just last month

So, he probably has the same lineup

AND

I’ve ignored devils on the bandstand before…

Oh Lort!

Why did I go to the website

AND

Tickets for Papa

ARE

$40!!!

LOL

I guess they don’t want me there then!

LOL

Snug Harbor is NOT worth no forty bones.

He plays at Tulane a lot

But I think with a devil too.

So, maybe I’ll just have to watch his videos…

They sound good

But it’s bigger than music.

White musicians select bandmembers based on color.

Black musicians select bandmembers based on sound.

That’s why you see allwhite bands.

But never allBlack bands.

It’s bigger than music.

“You would rather have a lexus or justice? A dream or some substance?
A beamer, a necklace or FREEDOM?!?!”

****

I was singing yesterday.

Trying not to be too loud and disturb the other guests.

Next thing I know,

I hear people gathering on the balcony

Right outside my window.

AND

I SHUT UP

BECAUSE

I

KNOW

THEY

WERE

DEVILS

AND

I DON’T SING FOR DEVILS

!!!

****

I’m watching part two of this documentary on Black women entertainers

AND

It just dawned on me

THAT

I

MADE

IT

PAST

44

That was my goal because my favorite singer, Phyllis Hyman, committed suicide at 44 and Billie Holiday died at 44.

SO

I figured if I could made it past 44,

I’d be okay.

I’m 45 now.

 ****

I keep hearing these exceptionally loud aircrafts overhead

AND

I knew they couldn’t be planes

AND

I’m outside at the Library

AND

They just flew overhead

Let me see if I can find a picture of what I just saw

There were two of these

It sounded like more came after them and I tried to get a video but they didn’t fly over my line of sight.

Why are they flying over New Orleans?

This what I think

****

SO

I’M

REALLY

Starting to get bored with life.

Like, I’m wondering what I’m going to do tomorrow?

It’s supposed to rain

SO

I guess my goal is to try and stay dry

That’s a challenge in itself being homeless

Like I am.

The library is only open from 1-5

Then they’re gonna be closed until the 18th!

But I’m like our Dear Sister Harriet

She never worried

AND

Neither do I.

I’m just a tad bored.

****

There’s a parade today and I met a Brother selling ooey gooey cake, and you know I had to support. I love ooey gooey cake. Tell me why did this Sister in a uniform come giving him all kind of flack talking about his vending license was only for Second-Lines? She wouldn’t let me buy it!!!

The poison runs deep in these Southern Black People.

She said she was just trying to feed her family like he was.

I said, “Yeah, but he’s working for himself. You’re working for the government, who doesn’t even care about you!”

So anyway, he turned in the direction I was going and once we got away from “Sargent Carter”, we made the transaction. Christians….

I can’t believe how hateful and vindictive we are to our own people to the satisfaction of our enemies. She was working for the government and her JOB is to hinder a Blackman from doing something for self so he will always be dependent upon the devil slavemaster.

If she would take a free step instead of working for the devil and propagating the enemies plan to keep us dependent on him, we might be able to get ahead as a NATION.

****

Anyway

He told me the parade is for Christmas

AND

I

HOPE

IT

RAINS

!!!

****

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE CLEAN!!!

I TOOK A BATH LAST NIGHT

AND A SHOWER THIS MORNING

AL HAMDULILLAH!!!

That’s the WORST thing about being homeless.

Even more than not having a place to use the bathroom.

Not having a place to cook.

Or to keep your stuff.

All that stuff can be worked around and pales in comparison to the inability to take a full ablution.

New Orleans doesn’t have the resources other cities I’ve visited have.

I mean they have drop in centers where you can go just to get off the street without worrying about trespassing and most of these places offer services like showers and laundry and stations where you can charge your phone.

All New Orleans has, well I’ve heard of the VA, and there’s this place that offers services but there’s this huge mural of Mary, mother of Isa (Jesus) on the wall and that’s like my kryptonite. I’d rather break into somebody’s house and take a shower than go in there.

Then there’s the VA which is where it’s looking like I’m gonna end up since the hypocrites at the masjid are living up to their name and not letting me in. Even though I did get in to get my stuff, so maybe…

I’ve got one other spot, but them employees trip HARD so I think I’ma try the VA first.

See what it’s like, at least…

‘member the last time I did that…???

It ended horribly.

BUT

Her band is on point! This is why I love live music.
Also dope how they’re all dressed alike
She should have done the same thing with her backup singers

****

Why do I have some crazy devil leaving me all these filthy comments?

I haven’t said anything but it’s been about six months.

I finally marked his comments as spam and they all disappeared.

Allahu Akbar!!!

****

SO

Gmail asked me if I wanted business e-mail and Razzaq was like “Yeah”

SO

I

HAD

TO

DO

ALL

THIS

TECH-Y

STUFF

But I think I set up my new e-mail

LOVEALLAH@HOMEMAKINGFORTHEBLACKWOMAN.COM

!!!

IS THAT THE FRESHEST THING YOU’VE SEEN EVER OR WHAT???

****

I haven’t forgotten about

Homemaking For The Blackwoman .com LIVE!!! either

It just doesn’t look like I’m going to be traveling anywhere anytime soon.

ROOTS, remember?

But maybe I can have something here in New Orleans.

And, you guys can just come here.

I mean, I love it here.

AND

You can come and see why.

Maybe

That’s what Allah and Razzaq want me to start doing

To keep me from being bored.

I’ll be like Sister Harriet

And ask for contributions.

I already know where I want to have it.

I guess I could start a gofundme campaign

BUT

I’d rather have corporate sponsors

You know how strongly I feel about Black Businesses.

I’ve already written a letter.

Let me see if I can find it.

السلام عليكم

AS-SALAAM-ALAIKUM
PEACE BE UPON YOU!!!

My name is Sister Love Allah and I am the founder and owner of http://www.HomemakingForTheBlackwoman.com.

I am organizing a series of events that are designed to instruct the Blackwomen in the United States of America into The Knowledge of Self, which includes a Return to Her Proper Natural Role As Homemaker and Housewife.

Naturally, the foundation will be upon Islam, as that is the only solution to our problem here in the Wilderness of America, but equally as important are acquiring such basic homemaking skills as sewing, cooking and cleaning, rearing children and taking care of our husbands, which are unfortunately, not taught among the members of the Black community as they once were, if ever, and are becoming lost arts.

Home Economics has also been removed from the United States school system and our young Sisters are graduating from High School having never been exposed to even the rudiments of the things that are required of them as Blackwomen.

HOMEMAKINGFORTHEBLACKWOMAN.COM LIVE!!!!! will Include a Welcoming Night featuring a film screening of THE NATION OF ISLAM’S 1974 SAVIOUR’S DAY CONVENTION LECTURE; an “HOW TO EAT TO LIVE” COOKING CLASS; a SEWING DEMONSTRATION; as well as a symposium on HOW TO TREAT OUR HUSBANDS.

Each session will be offered free of charge, as This is the Day in Which the TRUTH MUST BE MADE MANIFEST and the Truth is FREE to any and all who seek it. Therefore, in order to offset production costs, I am offering BLACK BUSINESS OWNERS the opportunity of sponsorship and promotional advertising.

Donations are also welcome in the form of such items as

• SEWING MACHINES & SEWING KITS
• CROCK POTS
• PRESSURE CANNERS & MASON JARS
• CORNINGWARE
• DUTCH OVENS (ANY SIZE)
• KITCHEN UTENSILS (COOKING & CUTLERY, LOAF & PIE PANS & ROLLING PINS)
• SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCES SUCH AS MIXERS & BLENDERS
• MONETARY FUNDS

All contributors will have the opportunity to advertise on promotional giveaways such as lanyards, gift bags, recipe booklets, souvenir brochures, ink pens & notepads, keychains &c.

Furthermore, Each Business Will Be Prominently Advertised On All Promotional Paraphernalia (fliers, radio spots, social media, Internet sites, billboards & Television Public Service Announcements)

THANK-YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND GENEROSITY AT WHATEVER LEVEL OF SPONSORSHIP YOU CHOOSE.

IN THE MOST HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS NAME OF ALLAH,
MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD,
TO WHOM PRAISES ARE DUE FOREVER,

****

So cheah,

I think I really need to go hear some live Jazz tonight.

I might stop at the Playhouse first

BUT

If it’s devils

I’ma go see Brother Jason

Only thing is

YUP

Worst fear confirmed

I just YT’d Jason and he has more devils in his band than Papa, Wynton and Branford combined.

It’s starting to drizzle anyway.

BUT

That might be the best time to go out

Less people.

But I’m so bored!

I guess I’ll have to set up a paypal or something so I can accept contributions.

 ****

I guess I’m not going anywhere

I found a spot

AND

It’s Level 3 secure

Out of 5

So, we’ll see

إن شاء الله

I can stay here until the Library opens up at one mañana.

I wanted to go get some salmon at Cleo’s but the last time I went the owner was so rude to me! For no reason. I thought the owners would be cool because they have an Arabic poster on the wall. But he was trippin’ for real for real. To the point where I’m like Forget ya’ll. But it’s SO HARD to find healthy food in New Orleans. I hate being at the mercy of people who don’t like me.

BUT

I’m a so-called American Negro

AND

That’s all we’ve known for the past 400 years…

 I have some kipper snacks and bread I can eat instead.

I’m just trying to make sure I get enough protein since I can’t make my Bean Soup.

I would eat a couple boiled eggs every day if the only place I knew that sold them wasn’t so far away.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but

I miss Skid Row.

I could take a shower

AND

Get boiled eggs.

It just smells worse than a dumpster.

And there’s the most sickening water on the ground in some places.

****

I just ate that “ooey gooey cake.”

I thought I was getting chocolate but it was just a brownie.

I wish he would have told me.

I probably would have bought the cake instead.

“Probably” LOL

THAT’S why he didn’t tell me. SMH ;/

****

Anyway, I still can’t remember what I was going to write about yesterday.

I’m not going to say it must not have been that important because

When I did remember – before I was able to write –

I felt like it was important.

Oh well.

I’m just gonna publish this and turn in early.

I had such a good time with Zawji last night.

We role-played LOL

I was the homeless little girl

And he was the officer who caught me trespassing.

LOL

He handcuffed me.

OMG

LOL

I have such a vivid imagination

BUT

That’s what separates me from the norm.

AND

Makes me so interesting.

I’ve accepted it

The good and the bad.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved Asiatic Black Bebies

Meet Lulu II

O/G Lulu was refurbished, probably over thirty years old and cost $140.00

Lulu II is brand new and cost $79.00

And is much easier and MORE FUN TO RIDE!!!

I feel like going back to the place I bought O/G Lulu and putting my foot up somebody’s you-know-what.

I thought I was going to be paying three or four hundred for a new bike, since she was refurbished and cost $140,

Then I get to Walmart and the first pink bike I saw was a Panama Jack and it had a basket and a cup holder and I trepidatiously (LOL You know I make up words 😉  ) looked at the price tag and when I saw $129, I was floored!

So, I kept looking around and saw Lulu II, and she didn’t have a basket or anything but she was pink. Razzaq told me to get her. I wanted the Panama Jack, but I’ve learned to hear and obey. So, I found the baskets and they had this fabric bag that you could remove but it was too complicated to affix AND it was lavender so it wouldn’t match. I thought $20 was a lot too.

So, I looked at the traditional wicker baskets like O/G Lulu had but you couldn’t remove it AND it cost $25!!!

So, I saw some smaller baskets and one of them was pink so I attached it to Lulu II and it looked like it came with her. So……. $Free.99 😉

****

I was also able to get a camisole I really needed that I don’t know where else to get one but Wal. I searched for about twenty minutes trying to find my size! All they had were 2X and XXL and I’m a Swedish LOL I was SO happy when I found that Mug! I almost kissed the lady working there!  LOL

****

So, anyway, I was going to buy a lock at Walmart but it’s a good thing I tried them out before I bought them because I tried two different ones and they both got stuck when I was trying to set the lock!

So, I decided to just go back to the bike store where I bought O/G Lulu and get the same lock I had for her.

I’m still puzzled how they got her.

That was the BEST lock they had.

So, I’m not going to spend so much money this time, In sha Allah.

The only reason why I got that one was because you didn’t need a key.

I don’t have any other keys, so I didn’t trust myself trying to keep up with a little bike lock key. Same thing is in e-f-f–e-c-t, but I’ma see if I can find a cheaper one. That one was $35.00!

****

I also like Lulu II’s handlebars better than O/G’s. They’re like high and I can lean back!

(You dealin’ with some real O/Gs….)

****

They had fishing poles at Wal and I saw a pretty hot pink one and it was only $12.97!

But it looked so complicated! I thought all you have to do is just put the bait on the hook and you’re ready to go. But this one required a little assembly. So, I guess I’ll be YTing fishing tutorials…

OR

Fishing Rods & Reels

****

So, I left Wal about 9:30 but the other bike store doesn’t open up until 12 or 12:30, so I came to “the office” to kill some time.

I knew they wouldn’t trip about me bringing in Lulu II

And I sent an e-mail to Kool DJ Herc

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Foo!)

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Black Bebies!!!

Can you believe I had never seen that video? (Friday)

I mean I’ve seen the movie numerous times but I’ve never seen the music video.

Kinda funny to see Oshea getting his groove on.

Reminded me so much of my baby, Lil A.J.. When she was around four she used to throw her hands up and dance just like a gangsta. LOL

They always gotta put some hoes in the video though.

That’s the only part I didn’t like.

That’s like all I ever see Black women doing in the media.

Half-naked and twerkin’.

I mean, I’ve seen shows with Blackwomen working at the hospital or as cops. I mean, that show with G-Money had a Blackwoman and she was a housewife, but why we always gotta be fat? Can’t we be housewives and sexy? Get one of them hoes and put an apron and pearls on her and place her in the kitchen baking cookies for her well-adjusted children. Introduce her to your stove, Cube! lbvs

(Everything except the pole, doing drugs and f*in yo hoe. :/)
(Just the part about baking pies 😀 )

But anyway, today is payday and I can finally clean up.

I mean, I haven’t showered since last Thursday, but I don’t stink.

I have the Love Allah scent.

You know how in some Muslim countries they don’t wear deodorant because it covers up your natural scent. Well, that’s what I’m rocking. My natural scent and it smells good.

Some people smell like booty or must.

But I’m a Muslimah and I just smell feminine.

Oh God.

Let me stop.

My pheromones already attract Brothers like moths to a flame.

I don’t want my cyberspace Brothers

Trying to hmu too. 😀

But yeah, it’s not the scent that bothers me.

It’s this layer of dust that has settled over my clothes.

I wish I could hand wash them to make SURE they get really clean.

The machine doesn’t get them as clean as I can

When I hand wash.

But these janky laundromats don’t even have sinks!

And I got banned from the two I know of that do.

SO

I might just have to wash them twice.

No, I know!

I’ll go to the janky laundromat that still has the top-loading machines

And I’ll just open it up and hand wash from the machine.

I’ve seen the Mexicans do that in L.A.

I just gotta get some quarters somewhere

****

So, I’m reading the other Harriet biography and it’s basically the same

As the first one,

Just a little meatier.

All the same stories, except for one new one so far.

I’ma keep reading just in case there’s more.

إن شاء الله

But here’s the link

http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/harriet/harriet.html

****

So, I had an exceptional night.

Allah Led me to a NEW HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT

AND

This is the BEST one so far.

I mean, as far as being secure.

It’s also just a little dirty.

But I can live with that because

SECURITY

Is most important.

I mean, what good is it if it’s clean

But Security comes and throws me out

Or WORSE

Takes me to jail for trespassing?

I haven’t heard one human voice since I’ve been here.

It’s almost like being in a cave up on a mountain.

I’m even surrounded by cement.

When I first got here,

I kept thinking

“What if we have an earthquake and all this cement falls down on me?!?!!!!“

Then I remembered

I’m in New Orleans 😀

LOL

So, then I felt really safe…

****

The first thing I did after I felt I was safe

WAS

Dig in to that $2.00 APPLE.

Oh My God!

Why could I smell it as soon as I took it out my bag?!?!?!

So good……

(“Candy kisses everywhere…” LOL)
(Sorry about the interracial thing they got going on. Just ignore it.)
(“Race-mixing is SHAMEFUL!” – Elijah Muhammad [Peace Be Upon Him])

SO

I think the FIRST thing I’m gonna do is

WASH MY CLOTHES

But I’m not gonna be able to shower until

I can check into a hotel.

I might have to start going to the VA to shower.

BUT

I HATE BEING AROUND HOMELESS WHITE PEOPLE

Talk about WHITE TRASH!!!

I HATE THEM.

They group up together and it just makes me feel worse about Black People and our lack of unity. We’d rather befriend them than each other. I’ve seen a Black woman go up to a devil woman and put her arm around her and hug up on her, then when the devil got around the other devils, they just ignored the Sister and she was standing right there. They made a little circle and she was outside of it looking stupid. All I could do was shake my head because she was one of the “krewe du blondes” and hated me because I don’t like them.

She’s gonna learn one of these days, In sha Allah.

The white race is a race of devils.

But I don’t waste time on “rusty locks.”

SO

I

THINK

I’M

GOING

TO

GO

TO

WALMART

Smelling like Love Allah

AND

Just try and leave with a fabulous new bike

(Lulu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😥 😥 😥 )

That’ll make traveling easier

So, I can get my clothes

Wash them

And push to the hotel.

PRAY

Everything goes well for me today,

Brothers and Sisters

And May Our Saviour Allah, Who Came in the Divine Person of Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises Are Due Forever, Bless Each One Of You With MONEY, A GOOD HOME and FRIENDSHIP IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE upon your submission to HIM.

Remember to seek HIS GUIDANCE in EVERYTHING YOU DO.

Say, “Allah Do You Want Me To Do This First or That?”
“Allah Do You Want Me To Go Here First or There?”

And you can’t go wrong.

If you seek His Guidance in EVERYTHING you do, you cannot go astray.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum,

Your Sister,

~ LOVE ALLAH

❤ ❤ ❤

(R.I.P.)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Ma Beautiful Black Bebies!!!

Well, it happened.

On Monday, when I parked Lulu, I tried to hide her because, as you can see, she’s stunning. And, I’ve caught would-be thieves eyeing her hungrily.

So, I always made sure she was securely locked up, especially after the first day I bought her and thought somebody stole her because I had failed to scramble the code on her lock.

Turns out I just forgot where I parked her. SMH

So, Tuesday, when I left, Allah TOLD me to GET HER, but I didn’t.

I didn’t feel like going to where I had parked her.

I didn’t think I was going far.

Allah Said “Get Her.”

But I disobeyed.

I ended up being gone for two days.

WALKING.

And when I went to go check on her last night

SHE WAS GONE!!!

I felt really sad

Because she was so unique.

I’ll never find another like her.

But Allah Told me to go to Walmart tomorrow

When I get my check

And buy another bike.

I was thinking maybe I don’t need one since I walked for two days.

But that is just because

I didn’t have far to go.

Allah Also Told Me That The Person(s)

Who Took Her Really Needed Her.

And luckily it happened

Right when I’m getting some more money!

*****

So, I never saw the Brother, who said he was going to get me a hotel, again.

I feel like it was a trick to get me to stay in the Library.

Voodou, you know.

They’ve been after me since I went to jail in 2014

Voodou is big in jail

All across the country.

But anyway,

I left and went to the store.

I bought one apple

And it cost $2.00!!!

It’s big, but dang!

$2.00 for ONE APPLE!!!

But I can buy some ramen noodles for a quarter.

“Them devils think they slick…”

Don’t eat ramen noodles.

They have LYE in them.

Our Beloved Messenger (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) Taught us, in How To Eat To Live, that the money you think you are saving by buying cheap foods will only go to the doctor or pharmacist or UNDERTAKER!

So, eat the best of foods.

But I digress

No Lulu

And one more day til I get my check.

****

So, last night I found a new HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT

And everything was Gucci until Security came in around 3

And made me leave.

I hurried up and got out of there

AND

Right before I hit the exit

He goes,

“Wait! Before you leave…

“Do you have any…”

I knew he was going to ask for my I.D.

So, I acted like

I couldn’t hear him

AND

Practically ran out the door

Without stopping

And especially without turning around.

You can’t put me in jail

For trespassing

If you can’t catch me!

****

So, I found a bathroom

And locked myself in

Until Sunrise

Then an employee

Knocked on the door

SO

I hurried up

AND

Wrapped up what I was writing

AND

Pushed to another

SPOT.

IT WAS LIKE A LOBBY

AND

I

SAW

A

YOUNG

BLACK

COUPLE

SLEEPING ON EACH OTHER

On one of the couches.

SO

I

WAS

TRYING

TO CHILL

UNTIL

THE LIBRARY OPENED UP

BUT THEN I SAW THIS DEVIL

WHO

Worked there and I knew she wanted to make us leave

BUT

She was scared

To say something

And went back to her desk.

WELL

I was not about to sit there and wait for Security

To show up

Cause you Know she called them.

SO

I

PUSHED

TO YET ANOTHER

HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT

It was about 7:30

And I thought the Library opened at 9:30

I didn’t find out about this new spot

UNTIL

I

HAD

BEEN

SITTING

IN

THE

LOBBY

FOR

A

MINUTE

So, I just rested and slept a little more

Then pushed

(without LuLu 😥 )

To The Library

****

So, I see this Brother

Drinking

So, naturally, I tell him to stop

He seemed so moved by my show of concern

We talked for about half an hour

He told me his father died yesterday

And he had just lost his job this morning.

I just gave him the best news I could

AND

Told him to read

Message To The Blackman In America.

I see him outside now.

I think he was trying to play me though.

Everybody out here has a sad story

They tell you to try and get your sympathies

And trust

So they can con you.

It usually involves a dead parent.

But I met a Sister with H.I.V. too

****

So, after I left him

I went to the door of the Library

But they weren’t open yet

And there was a Brother

Dressed like a woman

In a big floppy hat, long skirt

And carrying two purses.

SO

I

GO

UP

TO

HIM

And Start Talking To Him

I asked him what is he doing with that skirt on?

It’s some woman out there that’s supposed to be wearing it.

I told him he’s a man.

Men are supposed to wear pants.

That’s the difference between men and women.

Men wear pants.

Women wear long skirts.

Haven’t you heard the term

“I wear the pants in this house?”

He laughed and I could tell I was getting through to him.

So, this Christian lady decides to jump in

And mess everything up

And starts telling him he reminded her of some fag she grew up with

And how he could sew anything and whatnot.

And I was like,

“You can’t sew?“

And she said she could hem pants and sew on a button

BUT

“Sexy” could sew ANYTHING!

I said

“So, can I!”

“You can too!

“Black women were CREATED to sew, cook, clean, take care of babies and our husbands…”

She was like

“We can do more than that.”

I was like, “Yeah, but that’s what we were CREATED to do.”

So, basically we got in to this HEATED discussion about gender roles

And you know that’s one of my favorite subjects.

After going back and forth for a while

I finally figured out

She didn’t want to lower her standard of living to let her husband provide for her.

She kept talking about how educated she was and makes plenty money.

I told her that was part of SUBMISSION.

She thought I was crazy.

I told her Good Luck with her relationship.

That’s the problem.

Women are too greedy.

More greedy than submissive.

I read “Their Eyes Were Watching God“

And they had a relationship wherein

She had enough money to support them both

But depended completely on Tea Cake to take care of her.

He wouldn’t have it any other way.

He was like,

“If I ain’t got it; YOU ain’t got it!”

And she agreed.

They had one of ONLY two successful, loving relationships

Between Black people I have ever read about.

The other one was written by a Jamaican

SO

I don’t even count that one.

****

But, on a high note, today is the first day of RAMADAN.

 We don’t eat from sunup to sundown

Every day in December

To get us away from the celebration

Of a false birthday of Jesus.

You can read more about it HERE

 I’m homeless

And the Holy Qur’an says you don’t have to fast

If you’re travelling.

Well

If you’re homeless,

Your ALWAYS travelling.

So, I don’t know if I’m going to fast.

I’m hungry now.

And this apple is calling me….

****

I’m so dirty,

It’s almost unbearable.

I feel like a Queen or somebody wealthy

Who has fallen on hard times.

I mean my clothes are top notch

They’re just DIRTY!

I spent my laundry money on food

I would wash them in a sink and let them air dry.

BUT

I’ve got to wash my cloak

AND

I just can’t see

Washing it in a sink

Then hauling it off somewhere to dry.

It’s faux fur

And would probably take two days anyway.

It’s so embarrassing.

I wasn’t tripping because

It’s the weekends when I really want to floss

BUT

There’s this book release tonight

AND

There’s going to be a live JAZZ band

With a fairly popular leader

AND

I’m

Going.

I’m

Just

Going

To

Stay

In

The Back

AND

Try to be as inconspicuous as possible

LOL

I’m thinking about it now, and it’s laughable.

I wear an M.G.T. garment

AND

A

WHITE

FUR

CLOAK

I might as well have THREE EYES!

LOL

But I am not about to pass up on an opportunity

To hear some live jazz.

On Second Thought….

I just looked up a video of the bandleader

And I can see he loves devils.

So,

I still want to read the book

Because it’s an autobiography of a Jazz musician

And there’s no better way to learn about music

Than by listening to musicians.

Rakim needs to write an autobiography

Or Melle Mel

I’ve always been kinda skerred of Afrika Bambaataa

Even before the child molestation thing

I met him in Leimert in the nineties

And he was talking about he was from another planet

And all kinda cray cray

I think Kool Herc definitely needs to write his own book

Oh Lort.

I just got an idea.

Most musicians are not writers

And usually have “help”

Writing their autobiographies….

I would LOVE to do something like that

I mean

I know

I’m qualified.

I would want to do Rakim,

But I’m skeered!

I can barely watch him perform!

AND

I NEVER get STAR STRUCK

But I was screaming like a lil girl when I saw him live

And there’s just something about Brothers from NYC

I mean the way he puffs out his cheek when he says words that begin with “P” or “B”

Is just so appealing!

LOL

I’m blushing

And then,

I was friends with this brother from NYC

And he used to do this thing

Where we would be talking

And all of a sudden

He would just say something

INCOMPREHENSIBLE

It would be so FUNNY!

Because it would sound like words

But would not be words.

LOL

Just going on like he was talking

But not saying nothing

Kinda like this

But I think Kool Herc would be better since he’s the Father of Hip-Hop.

The ORIGINATOR’S is always THE BEST STORY.

So, I just Googled Hip-Hop autobiographies

And there are some out there

Jay Z, Common, Prodigy, Fif, Grandmaster Flash…

GMF is probably the only one I would want to read

Since he’s a pioneer.

But I might have to hit up the God

I have a lot to ask him.

You know what?

I’d prolly just end up getting mad at him

For being in the Nation of Gods and Earths

Instead of the Nation of Islam.

I’m already mad at him for not telling me in his music

Where he got all of that information.

All Praise Is Due To Allah

I Found Out Anyway

THE HONOURABLE ELIJAH MUHAMAD

(MAY THE PEACE AND THE BLESSINGS OF ALLAH FOREVER BE UPON HIM)

HE JUST WANTS TO SELL RECORDS

I’M GETTING ANGRY JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!!!

SO, CHEAH…

HE’S A WRITER ANYWAY, SO HE WOULDN’T NEED MY ASSISTANCE

KOOL DJ HERC

THEN….

maybe…..

I wonder if he’s on Facebook…
