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

I had such a good time yesterday chopping it up with the Big Homie.

I LOVE WHEN HE SAYS, “Behbeh!”

It tickles me.

Man, I love New Orleans.

So anyway,

I ended up shaking the spot last night before my premonition manifested itself.

If someone did find my HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT, I WASN’T THERE.
WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

I’m in a cafeteria charging my laptop and I swear, every devil I see, is clearly the child of the slavemaster.

That’s all I see when I see them.

The people who hate us so much that they used to buy and sell us between themselves and treat us as if we were livestock and worse because they didn’t whip their cattle.

Especially the women!

They KEPT the whip within arms reach

AND

Would not hesitate

TO

Whip A Little Black Child

FOR

NO

REASON

Other Than That

He Was The Spitting Image

OF

HER

HUSBAND

I see so much hate in their eyes when they look at me.

I’m not a slave

AND

They HATE it!

All of the other Black People here are slaves.

Because they WORK here

And I’m just sitting here drinking coffee and on my laptop

Enjoying my life

FREE

SO

The Black People kinda hate me too.

I hate to say it but they ARE still slaves

For the devils

BUT

Don’t realize it because it’s a

MENTAL SLAVERY

AND

When they see me

They Know I’m not

AND

It forces them to wake up

To the TRUTH

That they are slaves

EVEN

IF

THEY

DON’T

RECOGNIZE

THAT

THAT’S

WHAT

IT

IS

They KNOW something is not right

SO

They treat me kinda funny too.

But the devils!

The men look at me with lust and the women look at me with envy and hate.

You know the women are the ones who instigated the lynchings.

“Kill that Nigger!”

“Teach that Nigger a lesson!”

That’s what they told their men.

Every time I read about slavery, it reinforces everything I’ve ever read before of the cruelty of the slavemistress.

She was far worse than her husband.

Because she was the one abandoned when he snuck into the slave quarters and produced babies by us.

She also had to be angry because her man is so genetically inferior to mine.

Physically, aesthetically, intellectually and morally.

So she is exceptionally wicked and evil

AND

I see it when they walk by me.

The younger ones I just see, “Missy Ann” and Sister Harriet’s owner who was just a little boy.

Still devils.

The white race are devils when they come out of the womb.

They haven’t changed.

And will never change.

YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE NATURE IN WHICH YOU WERE CREATED

AND THEY WERE MADE DEVILS

EVIL AND WICKED BY NATURE.

Don’t think for a second that they love you now.

They cannot change the NATURE in which they were made

Which is to lie and kill the Black.

Some of them smile at me

BUT

You can’t fool a Muslim nowadays.

****

Yesterday, Sister Marion confirmed what I had suspected

When I was in Atlanta

AND

Crashed the City Club.

I had the premonition that all the Black people working there were related.

It was nauseating.

But, she tells everybody that she worked in the powder room at Brennans’ for 35 years.

But she told me yesterday

That several generations of her family had worked for them.

I’m convinced it dates back to slavery.

She told me she got her job through her uncle and that her grandmother and great-grandmother worked there too.

I just Googled Brennan’s but they’re not giving the complete story.

It says the restaurants opened in the seventies but Mrs. Marion said her grandmother and great-grandmother worked there too.

She also told me they had moved, so I think the information I found on Google just picks up from whatever they want to put out.

Masking their true and complete history of slave ownership.

Which is still going on in a worse way

BECAUSE

We don’t have to work for them anymore.

But when we become of age,

The only thing we are taught

Is “Go get a job.”

AND

The slavemaster seeming to be so generous

WILLINGLY OFFERS US A JOB

(Put chains back on us)

And we work for them our entire lives

AND

Encourage our children to go and work for them too

And the cycle never ends.

The whiteman has a forever slave.

He gives us gifts and makes much ado over our service

Gives us a “buttered biscuit and a pat on the head

AND

We are content to be his forever slave.

We never think of going for self.

Working for ourselves.

OWNERSHIP NEVER EVEN OCCURS TO US.

We come here with nothing

AND

We work for the devil all our lives

AND

Leave with nothing.

Try and make something

SO

When your son gets here

He doesn’t come here with nothing

AND

He can expand on what you built

So When

His son Comes Here

He Has More Than What You

Made For His Father

AND

SO

ON

AND

We Can Finally End This Cycle Of Perpetual Slavery.

The ONLY way we can do that

IS

THROUGH

BUSINESS

OWNERSHIP

AND

THE

CREATION

AND

MASS PRODUCTION

AND

MARKETING

OF

OUR

OWN

PRODUCTS

The devil owns everything.

So, whatever he pays us

He gets it right back

When we go to him for food, clothes and shelter

AND

EVERYTHING

ELSE

WE

NEED

Just like in the days of servitude slavery.

Only now he gives us the money and we go buy it ourselves.

But we don’t OWN anything.

We don’t PRODUCE anything.

Not for ourselves.

We are nothing but laborers for the whiteman 150 years after

He said he freed us.

When will we WAKE UP and

Take a free step

AND

Offer our children

MORE

Than an opportunity to go be a slave

For the whiteman?

PLEASE

READ

MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA

AND

GET

IT

IN

YOUR

MIND

TO

DO SOMETHING FOR SELF!!!

****

I found out the Tai Chi class I took last year started back up again.

SO

insha-allah-god-willing
(In Sha Allah)

I’ll be able to relieve some of this stress I feel over the condition of my people.

I get so much attention

Sometimes, I just want to crawl into a little hole and hide.

Mrs. Marion thinks it’s just an act to get money from people

AND

Sometimes people do just walk up to me and hand me money

BUT

It’s not nearly enough to convince me to dress like this. LOL

I wear my garments because I love them.

I couldn’t wait for the day when I would be able to wear them everyday

Other clothes

Seem inferior

Even long skirts, long-sleeved shirts and head-wraps/hijabs

Like most Muslim women wear are normal and boring

Compared to my beautiful garments.

Whenever someone tries to tempt me to do some type of wickedness

The first thing they do is say something about my garment.

When Wallace, The Messenger’s (Peace Be Upon Him) son) attempted to destroy the Nation of Islam

The FIRST thing he did

Was tell the Sisters

They didn’t have to wear their uniforms anymore.

I cannot overemphasize the importance of wearing my Holy Garments.

Before I ever open my mouth

I’ve made a statement.

Brothers know they can’t treat me any old kind of way.

It protects me when I want to sin

Because it hinders the Brothers from disrespecting me

EVEN

WHEN

I

AM

WILLING

!!!

It’s like a BARRIER TO SIN

And I don’t care if it’s filthy, ripped and torn, mismatched or whatever

I’m not changing it for anything in this world.

I have to be super careful

BECAUSE

I can’t just go to Walmart or any other store

AND

But one of these.

They have to be made.

AND

I’m supposed to make it myself.

You wear clothes that you make yourself

DIFFERENTLY

Than clothes made by someone else.

SO

That’s an important factor too.

I feel like I can do anything

IN

MY

HOLY

GARMENTS

Busted

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Sisters and Brothers!

Ma Bebies!

So, remember I gave my HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT a three on a scale of one-five as far as being secure last night?

Well, I was visited by company security this morning at 6:30.

But he was so COOL!

I cannot overstate how surprised I was.

This is the Second time I’ve been busted and was able to tell the officer about Islam!

It’s so unexpected, I can’t help but laugh. LOL

BUT

Basically, they are so-called Negroes in America just like me

BUT

More Importantly,

They are Black Gods With Infinite Intelligence

AND

ARE

Aware of the Time that we are living in

(Christianity vs. Islam)

SO

When they meet me

I get to answer all the questions they have

BUT

I don’t know what it is about Law Enforcement.

As much as I despise the position,

I have to remark how exceptionally bright they are

Compared to the everyday average Brothers I talk to.

I don’t know why.

They are making me reconsider my disdain for pigs

Cops…

I mean,

It’s REFRESHING being able to have such intelligent conversations.

I know right?

I’m just as surprised as you are

Probably

MORE so.

BUT

Anyway, I went to pickup Lulu II

AND

I am not going to deny my relief

When I saw her still parked where I left her.

Being robbed really tests your faith.

But she was there.

So, I decided to kill some time before the library opened

(at ONE)

And go to Waffle House

Instead of IHOP.

I had just had a cream cheese / caper sandwich

Before I got busted

So, I was NOT hungry

And was just going to get some coffee

BUT

I felt pressured to buy something

SO

I bought something called a Hashbrown Bowl.

The Messenger (PBUH) taught us to

Leave those old white potatoes alone.”

And, if I had thought about that I would’ve ordered differently.

BUT

I’ve always liked hash browns

And the bread on the breakfast sandwich was too thick for my taste.

I’m pretty sure it’s not wheat bread either.

I don’t eat waffles because they are half-cooked bread

Like pancakes and are very hard on the digestive system.

So, I asked what kind of cheese they use

And when the waitress answered

“American”

I should have just rolled out then and there.

“AMERICAN CHEESE” IS NOT CHEESE

“Owing to its highly mechanized (i.e., assembly line) methods of production, and additive ingredients (e.g., oils, salts, or colors), some softer varieties of processed cheese cannot legally be labeled as actual “cheese” in many countries, even those in which slightly harder varieties can be. Such products tend to be classified as “cheese food”, “cheese spread“, or “cheese product”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processed_cheese

But, I just opted out of the cheese

And, of course, the pork sausage.

The eggs were poached and were good.

But those were not real potatoes.

I don’t know WHAT they were!

It was terrible.

I don’t see how people can eat there.

It’s about half the price of IHOP

BUT

You get what you pay for

AND

My health is too important for me to be

Eating poor foods.

But they had a waiting list!

I am baffled at why anyone would pay good money

For such inferior quality foods.

And A LINE???!!!!!!

I can’t see myself going back

But

I’m

Homeless

And

They’re

Open 24 hours

So

I won’t say never.

The eggs were good…

And the service was excellent.

I had the cutest little waitress.

She was so adorable.

AND

It was so cute because she had never taken an order for

Poached Eggs Before

And

She was kinda stoked.

I’m the type of person who can overlook other factors

If you make me feel welcome

I like to go where I feel comfortable, naturally

AND

She made me feel welcome

In spite of my extended stay

While I charged my laptop and phone.

She just asked if I wanted a refill on my coffee

And did not try to rush me at all.

So, I didn’t try to take unnecessary advantage of her.

****

It was such a beautiful morning.

It was overcast but warm and humid.

The weather here is fabulous.

There weren’t many people out

AND

Me and Lulu just rode around.

I try to take the bike path

Whenever possible.

AND

I made a video for Facebook

Of this massive tree

They always make me think of lynchings.

They don’t have trees like that in L.A.

I should have saved it.

Because I’m supposed to be able to upload videos

Directly here

BUT

I haven’t had any success at that yet.

BUT

In Due Time.

I did get a picture tho which is just as good

Maybe Betta

15268067_10209940389400806_9155770747505514039_n

SO

We went by Armstrong Park

AND

I saw some vendors,

SO

I

Asked What Was UP

BUT

YOU

WOULD

Think I would know by now.

It’s just so strange.

I always seem to find The Second Lines.

LOL

Wherever I go.

They seem to find me!

BUT

It wasn’t til later.

SO

I was going to hang out in the park

BUT

I ended up going by Mrs. Marion’s and her grandson’s.

AND

He was outside

And

I LOVE talking to him.

There are not too many people

I can talk to for more than five minutes

Without arguing.

And Mrs. Marion is so challenging.

Nobody likes me over there

Because I don’t like devils.

So she tried to be mean to me

BUT

I’m so used to it

AND

For some reason

 I just love her.

Both of them.

He is the strongest

(mentally, spiritually [morally] and physically)

Man I know

Next to Zawji.

We agree on everything.

Especially male/female roles.

AND

He is so Zawji’s Doppelganger.

I guess that’s why we get along so well.

He is so easy to follow.

It’s astonishing.

It feels so NATURAL.

BUT

I’m Zawji’s wife.

AND

There’s some Sister out there for him.

Mrs. Marion came outside after we had been talking for awhile and he made himself scarce so I went to talk to her.

She was hostile towards me and

asked me who do I think I am and why do I dress like I do?

In all-white and whatnot?

For some reason she asked if I thought I was everybody’s mother.

I said “Yes, I am!

(Ma Bebies 😀 )

She said, “You not MY mother!”

Which was kinda flattering that she would even feel like she had to say that.

Of course, I’m not her mother!

But obviously she could feel how maternal I feel towards Black People.

I told her,

“I just feel like taking care of people.”

She told me

“I’m almost 89 years old. I know you. I been dealing with people over there (in The French Quarter) All My Life. It’s just an act to get people to give you money!”

That was the first time I had heard anything like that.

I mean I had met a Brother on the bus in L.A. once who thought that we, so-called Negroes in America, just become Muslims to get that “Arab Money”

(I’m not gonna post the video because Zawji knows I like Buster, and he doesn’t like him because of it. And I’m HIS WIFE, so….)

But anyway, I didn’t really know what to say to her accusations.

The defensive is always the worst position to be in, so I just let her go on.

 I mean, I told her I wear my garments because I feel comfortable in them. They are like my protection. You see I wear them every day!

She said, “Where do you live? You don’t live around here, do you?

And I told her how hard it is for me to live with people. She knows better than anyone how everybody hates me. And she reminded me she remembered when I got into it with that old goat at the museum.

She said, Why don’t you get a job?”

And then I felt more comfortable.

Contrary to me and her grandson,

Me and Sister Marion bumped heads when it came to male/female roles.

But I’m very versed with women who share her sentiments

AND reveled in the exchange.

Steel sharpens Steel.

And Mrs. Marion is a double-edged sword.

But then so am I.

At least she wasn’t talking favorably about devils

WHICH

Used to be our point of contention.

The three of us and their neighbor even discussed political issues

Like the murder of that football player recently.

To me, he’s just yet another Blackman murdered by devils

BUT

To most so-called Negroes, his murder carries more weight

Because he was famous.

So, I felt a little left out of the conversation because I wasn’t as informed as I guess I should have been on the details surrounding his murder, I guess.

Which is a rarity for ya gurl.

Unfortunately, these murders are becoming so common that I didn’t even think about adding him to my list until just now.

I don’t even remember his name.

SMH

BUT

Anyway, we talked until we ran out of things to say.

Sister Marion had gone back in the house,

Which I thought was hella cool.

Because that meant she didn’t mind leaving me alone

With her Grandson.

Oh yeah,

We heard the Second Line.

His well-trained ears picked up on it well before mine

But

When I asked him if he wanted to go

He said NO.

Which was completely in opposition to my well-laid plans,

But again, it’s about choices.

I could go be in a big rowdy crowd

OR

At peace, sitting on a front porch, with a handsome, decent and intelligent Blackman.

That’s a no-brainer for me.

PEACE TRUMPS EVERYTHING!!!

And there was no telling when I would have that opportunity again.

So after Sister Marion went in, and we had exhausted all topics, there were a few minutes of comfortable silence,

AND THEN

He just said he was going to go watch the Saints’ game with his uncle

And bid me a good day.

It wasn’t uncomfortable or awkward or anything

AND

I didn’t have to be the one to come up with some way to part!

The Big Easy.

That’s what I should call him.

He’s so easy to be around.

And he’s one of those Big “Scary” Blackmen

My son always says I’m attracted to

BUT

Anyway,

I just got on Lulu and rolled out.

I was tempted to go by the Second Line

BUT

I felt like that would have ruined the good time I had just had.

He is just as if not more disgusted at how Blackwomen carry themselves like whores as I am. And told me how they disgrace themselves to get his attention. For instance, he told me how one Sister in a short mini skirt bent over in front of him to pick something up, and basically showed him her shame just to get his attention.

I told him I wear long skirts, but I still don’t like to bend down much less bend OVER. I told him how I do it. I would have waited for him to catch up and said sweetly, “Brother, can you pick this up for me?” With the same end in mind – to get his attention but in a ladylike manner. Gently stroking his male ego at the same time.

There’s a big difference between classy and trashy.

PLUS, we would have spoken to each other breaking the ice.

I should give lessons. But that’s what this is.

That’s exactly how LADIES used to do it back in the day. They would “accidentally” drop a handkerchief or a glove and the GENTLEMAN would pick it up for her and thus would blossom a beautiful relationship.

It was demure and modest, but accomplished the mission without having to disgrace yourself. I am appalled at how far away from decency and morals we have gone as Blackwomen.

We are universal whores.

The product of 400 years of being used as the slavemaster’s bed wench.

We have no self-respect and will disgrace and abase ourselves for money or attention or a misguided attempt to win the affections of our male counterparts.

We are GODDESSES.

THE MOTHERS OF CIVILIZATION

THE ORIGINAL WOMAN

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PARADIGM FOR ALL OTHER WOMEN OF THE UNIVERSE.

THE EXAMPLE OF PURITY AND MODESTY

FOR ALL OTHER WOMEN TO EMULATE!!!

HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM

AS THE WOMAN FROM WHOM ALL NATIONS SPRUNG

THE ORIGINATOR

BEHAVING LIKE TRASH

UP! YOU MIGHTY BLACK WOMEN!

YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!!!

And that means, no matter what you’ve done in the way of indecency and immorality, you can ALWAYS reform yourself.

We both agreed that the reason the Blackwoman is in such a terrible condition is because the Blackman, who is supposed to control and PROTECT her, is more interested in pimping her. As sad and shameful as it is.

But he is also the victim of 400 years of slavery and mistreatment by the devil Caucasians and must reform himself as well. This can only successfully and permanently be done through the Divine Supreme Wisdom Teachings of The Most Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him).

You Can Read Message To The Blackman In America by clicking HERE.

He told me he saw a two-year-old, still in diapers, twerking.

I already know Allah (God) shields me from the worst of things because I’m extremely sensitive and I just can’t take it but when he told me how he hears mothers talking to their children, it brought me to tears.

Black mothers telling their little Black boys they ain’t s*#! I’m having a hard time just writing about it. How could you say that to your own flesh and blood?

Black mothers calling their little Black daughters B’s.

I don’t understand how someone could be so hateful to a Black child – ANY Black child! Not to think of YOUR OWN BLACK CHILD!!!

If I didn’t know the future, I would think we were completely and totally lost.

BUT

I

KNOW

THE

FUTURE

And that same little Black boy, whose mother said he wasn’t s*#! and wasn’t ever going to be s#*! is one day going to rule the world.

All Praise Is Due To Allah For The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him)

Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises Are Due Forever, Helped Keep Me On The Straight Path because toward the end of our conversation, I told him that one day, there were going to be Messengers asking, “Whose side are you on, America’s or the Muslims?”

He had a little difficulty with that and said something like you would hear in church and then that the question would be, “Whose side are you on God or the devils’?”

I said, “That’s the same thing. American devils or God and the Muslims?”

That idea took a little getting used to, but he’s on our side.

So, I left and went to the store and got caught up in some Saints’ traffic.

They lost, of course.

I hate to say it because it’s so sad. Everybody here LOVES the Saints but I can’t remember them ever winning. Maybe they win when I’m not following the game but if love and support could win a game, they would never lose because they love them some SAINTS in New Orleans.

But I made it through the traffic just as it started to rain.

I went to the library and charged my phone.

Started writing this and when I left it was pouring.

So, I left Lulu there and went to the HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT.

I don’t feel as secure here as I usually do.

I felt like I felt last night.

And my gut instincts are usually right.

Like they were last night.

I

THINK

I

MIGHT

ABANDON

THIS

SPOT

LATER

When the heat dies down…

Maybe

Maybe not…

ALLAH IS THE BEST GUIDE AND THE BEST PLANNER.

TO HIM DO I SUBMIT.

Costello

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

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

I knew when I published my last blog that I was going to wake in the middle of the night and write some more.

But I didn’t say anything because sometimes I like to keep things to myself.

Anyway, I watched “Emperor Jones” starring Paul Robeson and was really surprised to see the level of romantic drama there was back in those days.

For some reason, I thought people were less scandalous then.

It was interesting to see Brother Paul in his signature film and I was not expecting to feel the emotion toward his character that the film manifested in me.

It was a good movie.

And judging by how many times they said, “Who dat?” and the Yoruba references, I would not be surprised if the writer was from New Orleans.

That was a complete surprise.

Brother Paul was a significant character in Black History in the United States, as far as entertainment. But he was political too.

I don’t watch movies (dramas) as a general practice, but this was more like a history lesson than anything else.

So, I woke up a little while ago and realized, you don’t have to be in jail to have those lonely late night thoughts.

For some reason, I feel like it’s time to write about Costello.

I feel like I have to start from when I messed up with Zawji in High School.

I cheated on him and started dating this other guy who went to my school.

I wasn’t capable of loving from a distance.

I’m getting a crash course in it now.

So anyway, I ended up marrying the other guy but he cheated on me and we divorced after two years.

We had a daughter though, who has Zawji’s initials. That was completely by chance. I didn’t even realize it until a few years ago.

I saw him at the beach one day when she was still in the stroller

AND

HE

BENT

DOWN

AND

KISSED

HER

FULL

ON

THE

MOUTH

Then got up and walked away without even looking at me.

He’s so wise.

I wasn’t ready

BUT

He still loved me

AND

He showed me by showing his love for my daughter.

I think he knew/realized

We were going to get back together one day

Because

She has his initials.

I think he knew back then,

Even when I didn’t.

But was just biding his time.

Allahu Akbar

❤ ❤ ❤

Anyway, I was with Costello at the time.

So, I really didn’t deserve any more than what he gave me

Which was nothing

But tough love

❤ ❤ ❤

After I found out my husband cheated on me,

We had a physical altercation

AND

I put him in jail for abuse

BUT

Later went and dropped the charges.

I think even then I had a disdain for pigs.

We tried to work it out

BUT

The Trust Was Gone

AND

I started seeing other men.

He was in the Navy

SO

He was away from home a lot.

I think he gave up

WHEN

I was dating this Brother from Compton

He called it “Camptown

I didn’t know why then,

BUT

I think it’s because of all the horses

AND

Big Backyards

ANYWAY

He carried a gun

AND

I

REALLY

LIKED

HIM

He Was Fine!!!

I met him on Crenshaw

AND

I know I must have really liked him because I still remember his name.

Anyway,

They ran into each other outside our apartment

AND

The Brother from Compton shot at my X.

He had already told me what he would do if that situation occurred
(shoot in the leg so as not to kill him)

So, I knew not to worry.

He didn’t get shot though.

❤ ❤ ❤

Anyway, I was working at a typist job I got through the Navy

And it was for a company that photocopied medical records for lawyers.

I used to type up the legal documents necessary to procure the records.

So, they hired this new Brother to go out and photocopy the records

AND

He was cute

SO

I told all the other Sisters who worked there that

He was mine.

Well, one day, he came to the clerical section to run off some copies at the photocopy machine and when I saw him, I made everybody in my department find something for me to go copy.

So, I sashayed over to the photocopier and worked my mojo on him.

We hooked up and I knew he was cheating on me very early in the relationship.

He was ALWAYS talking about his X and comparing me to her.

He used to make me feel so inadequate. I didn’t know the word back then but now I can never forget.

He used to say, “There’s just five pounds between fat and fine.”

And here I am 125 pounds.

The perfect weight and he’s making me feel inadequate.

He used to sell weed, so he’d be gone “on a run” often

And most of his clientele were women.

Well, one day I figured out he had lied to me about his whereabouts and a Sister we worked with confirmed my suspicions.

BUT

I didn’t break up with him.

I guess I thought I was “in love”

BUT

That’s no excuse for stupidity.

I was 22 and had been reared in Christian America

Where they don’t teach values and morals and self-respect.

WELL,

Yes, they do

BECAUSE

Growing up my goal was to stay a virgin until I got married

THEN

I

FOUND

OUT

ALL

MY

FRIENDS

FROM

CHURCH

HAD ALREADY DONE IT

!!!!

So America preaches values, but it is hard to actually find them

In America.

❤ ❤ ❤

Anyway,

He was a good provider and when I got fired from my job

OVER

(him and another woman who worked there :/ )

Me and my daughter moved in with him.

My X never gave me a dime in child support.

Even though it was court ordered.

So, we were playing house

Living it up in the LBC.

We were both in college

And I used to go watch him play football

AND

He was such a showman!

Every time they played,

Somehow his shirt managed to get ripped off

LOL

He had a roommate

AND

It was like Party Central at our house

There were ALWAYS people there

We had a rule

You couldn’t hit the bong until you brushed your teeth LOL

There was always a game of dominoes going on

Or a freestyle session.

I remember one time Lil’ 1/2 Dead was over

AND

ALL

The guys were dickriding

Me and the girls were just so annoyed

It was so bad that my three-year-old daughter said,

He’s getting on my nerves.”

I was like, “Who?

And she pointed to Lil 1/2 Dead

LOL

He used to cook too.

He’s the reason I stopped eating pork

Way before I became a Muslim

But he’s also the reason I started smoking weed.

He used to leave his stash at my house

Before we moved in together

AND

One night me and my cousin were bored

SO

We decided to smoke some.

Why did we call the radio station

Because they were taking calls for people who wanted to tell a joke

AND

I

GOT

ON

THE

RADIO

High as Hell

And tried to tell a joke.

The DJ was like,

Oh, okay, thank-you.

And I wasn’t even through.

SMH

So, anyway, he introduced me to Reggae

And we used to go to Dancehall clubs

And “wind.”

He could really dance.

Not as good as my Zawji though.

We’d go to holidays with my family

AND

Even hooked up our friends.

Two of them are still married to this day

And have three children.

BUT

He used to tell me that

He could get with my cousins

If he wanted too.

I didn’t really pay too much attention

To that kind of talk.

I just let it go in one ear

AND

Out the other.

But years later,

AFTER

He went to jail,

He wrote a book,

AND

One of my cousins (the married one) was asking about it

I thought that was strange

BUT

Didn’t put two and two together

Until a few years ago.

She had said she wanted to read it.

She was the ONLY one out of all our friends

Who showed so much interest in wanting to read his book.

I mean, we all wanted to read it

BUT

She wanted to read it too badly.

So, I know something was up.

That has taken me a long time to admit.

It hurts.

And I love her husband like a Brother.

He’s in the Nation

(albeit with Farrakhan)

But out of all my family members

He’s one of the few I still talk to

I don’t even talk to my cousin

(his wife)

We’re just a few months apart,

I’m the elder

And always looked out for her

We went to the same schools

for Jr. High AND High School

AND

When we got older

AND

Her Mom

(My father’s sister)

Kicked her out

I let her come and live with me.

I didn’t think anything of it.

I subconsciously, look at her like she’s more of a Sister

Than a cousin

I always mistakenly call her children my niece and nephews

That’s how I know

She’s always been “The Golden Child”

In our family

AND

I was “The Black Sheep”

BUT

To think that she went behind my back

To try and get with my boyfriend

IS

Something that most people would probably

Expect to be the other way around

BUT

I would NEVER do anything like that

So

It is difficult for me to accept

BUT

As difficult as it is to accept

I know it’s true.

I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt

And assume it was before she hooked up with her husband.

BUT

I don’t know

Because Costello used to tell me about how he (her husband) had sex

AND

I don’t know

Any other way

He Could Have Known

UNLESS

She Told Him…

At the time,

I thought maybe one of her husband’s exes

Had told him,

Because they had been friends for a long time.

Now I’m not so sure.

I just saw him when I went to Atlanta

BY CHANCE

Because I didn’t look them up

AND

He is doing a good job taking care of her.

I’m sure nothing ever became of it

Otherwise, he would’t have told me

BUT

Just to know she went after him…

So scandalous.

Skanless.

It’s always the quiet ones…

She IS one of the main reasons I joined The Nation though.

When I saw her in her M.G.T. uniform

I couldn’t WAIT to get in one.

The difference is

She couldn’t wait to get out of it.

She only wore it to the Mosque.

I wear mine every day!

****

BUT

Anyway,

Things came to a head

WHEN

One of his side chicks got pregnant.

I stayed with him though.

:/

But when he brought the baby home

I couldn’t take it and threw a brick through one of his windows.

I guess I had moved out by then.

Anyway, unbeknownst to me,

The baby was right there by the window

SO

Then he starts going on about how I was trying to kill his baby.

BUT

He said it like he was impressed with me

SO

He ends up moving back to Indiana

But

We’re still keeping in touch.

He ends up going to jail for fifteen years

For something I’m not even sure of to this day.

But I’m sure it wasn’t drugs.

I even flew out to Kentucky to visit him.

And caused so much drama that his fellow inmate whose girlfriend hosted me told her that she couldn’t talk to me after I left.

❤ ❤ ❤

He had a Best Friend in jail, named Killer.

Killer was from Watts.

But I didn’t know Killer was so FINE!!!

I

DIDN’T

KNOW

IT

THEN

BUT

He Was Zawji’s Doppelganger…

So, we’re in the visiting room talking and Killer and his guests are behind my back.

So, I get up and go to the bathroom

BUT

When I come back

I sit on the other side

SO

I could see

Killer.

This little move did not go unnoticed by Costello.

He commented on it.

BUT

Anyway,

Shortly after our visit, Costello got transferred to another prison

But inmates are not allowed to send each other mail.

So, I was the designated liaison between Costello and Killer.

Funny thing happened…

Me and Killer started writing each other.

And, I guess he told everybody because Costello started crying about how it made him look and the Sister told me her husband told her she couldn’t talk to me anymore.

I didn’t care.

Shoot.

He had had a BABY with somebody else!!!

But the thing with Killer was shortlived and I still kept in touch with Costello.

If I had had ANY sense I would have stayed with Killer.

He was so intelligent and had NEVER worked for the DEVIL.

I really admired that.

He also told me something that I still use today when people call me crazy.

He told me

“Where I come from, CRAZY is a GOOD thing!”

Watts up!

❤ ❤ ❤

So, next thing I know,

(This was in 1999 and we met in 1992)

He’s telling me they’re transferring him to another prison

AND

This time he’s going Greyhound

AND

He’s coming through L.A.

Can I rent a car,

Come pick him up,

AND

Drive him from Palm Springs to L.A.,

SO

We could spend some time together.

But Of Course, I can do that for you, Baby.

SO,

We get to spend the designated time together,

Then I drop him off at the Greyhound station in L.A.

But he tells me not to go in,

“Stay right here.”

That struck me as kinda weird

SO

I

FOLLOWED

HIM

AND

Sure enough, there he is

Talking to some girl who’s on the same bus.

I felt like a fool.

But I was acting like one

AND

Couldn’t blame anyone but myself.

I mean,

I KNEW who I was dealing with.

Why should I think he had changed?

But I was “in love.”

So, early in the relationship I had gotten pregnant

But he took me to get an abortion.

And unbeknownst to me

This time when I picked him up

I got pregnant again.

But I was taking medication and didn’t have a period

SO

I didn’t know

Until it was too late.

I had to hike up this steep dirt hill

To get home

And ended up losing the baby.

It was a boy.

BUT

Allah Knows Best

Because Now I Don’t Have Anything To Attach Me To Him

So, he’s at Lompoc in Northern California

AND

Hooks me up with one of his fellow inmate’s woman

AND

We go out there to visit them.

I had started going to the Mosque by this time

AND

The Sister was late picking me up

SO

I had changed clothes

AND

Was preparing to go to M.G.T. class

When she showed up.

So, instead of sexy and fly, in those pictures

I was modest and appealing.

Allah Knows Best.

That was my last visit.

I started trying to practice Islam but I was with Farrakhan

AND

HE Knew Farrakhan is not right

SO

He wasn’t trying to hear it.

BUT

AFTER

I

LEFT

FARRAKHAN

I

WAS

LIKE

I can’t talk to you anymore

Unless you become a Muslim.

That’s the ONLY way I’ll know

You’ve Changed.

SO

I finally stopped talking to him

Islam gave me the courage and intelligence to finally leave a toxic relationship

It was 2006 now

Fifteen years!

So, whenever I used to get mad at him, he would go to my mother to try and get her to get me to let him have another chance. So, even though wasn’t talking to him, apparently they still kept in touch because the next thing I knew. Whoever was President at that time had issued some type of order cutting sentences for federal inmates and my mother told me there was a good possibility that he could be getting out sooner than later.

So, it’s 2008 and I just have a feeling that I’m going to run into him in Leimert Park. This was before I started talking to Allah. But I knew.

Sure enough, one Monday, outside of drum workshop, I see him walking up. We talk for a minute and then Osiris appears (now before I saw Costello, Osiris had told me he would pay for Hakim’s drum lesson he just had to go get some change) So here he comes and I tell Costello, “Watch this” and Osiris hands Hakim a five dollar bill.

I felt like The Mack.

LOL

So, we’re wrapping up our conversation and this woman pulls up and he starts showing her attention and making me feel ignored and inadequate like he always did. But I still talk to him on the phone later.

I told him about Da Poetry Lounge and he talked to my daughter, on the phone. He always made me feel like when she was old enough, he would have an affair with her. Because he was always talking about how he cared about her more than me. But it was different than when Zawji did it. Because they have different backgrounds with me. I never ever saw Zawji with another woman until 1999. But that’s too painful to write about.

But anyway, he went to Da Poetry Lounge, told me it was lit, and I’ve never heard from him again.

I didn’t want to tell him about it.

But I guess Allah Made Me To Finally Get Him Out Of My Life.

He Had To Replace Me With Something, I guess.

Artists can make love to their art.

(He sings and writes)

So, human companionship is not as…

Louis Armstrong said his wife knew she came second to his music.

And Duke Ellington titled his book, “Music is my Mistress”

I still feel a sense of loss after all these years.

And can only thank Allah for protecting me and giving me my Zawji.

Allahu Akbar!!!

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!

screenshot-2016-10-28-at-7-46-42-am-edited

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

101669400-12795614153_dfc68d6c52_o-530x298

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.

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)

****

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.

LULU II

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Dearly Beloved Asiatic Black Bebies

15271805_10209922038742051_3971269754971388988_o41bc3125-8503-4cbb-bb0e-90d379f361c7_1-3cac9e9b8ac04ef8576e6abe23450c2c14975521-d69f-4058-8fe7-b168d660000d_1-f0794b5fceef71f1c23adde3d9bdf0cb

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

The Hip-Hop community NEEDS to hear YOUR story from YOU!!! I am a writer and would be willing to help you write your autobiography. I say autobiography as opposed to memoirs because I am an avid reader of both and prefer autobiographies. They tell a better story.
In short, my Dear Beloved Brother, PLEASE write your autobiography! Admittedly, I have never written a book (although I do have a blog www.HomemakingForTheBlackwoman.com) so, I have not the first idea about publishing but maybe you would consider an e-book, wherein somehow you could include videos, music and links.
I mean, this IS the digital age, and Hip-Hop started off with the music and ended up revolutionizing the entire music industry. Might as well continue the tradition and push the envelope by revolutionizing the publishing industry to include videos and digital music instead of just photos. Let’s make use of ALL of the technological resources at hand!!!
Thank-you in advance, Dear Brother, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
btw Thank-you for explaining the term “Put your ‘stink’ on it.” 😉😁😘
May Allah Bless You, Dearly Beloved Brother, With MONEY, A Good Home, Friendship in all walks of life and Peace of Mind and Contentment!
In the Name of Allah,
As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum
Your Sister,
~ LOVE ALLAH ❤
But I used lavender ink and this whimsical font.
****
I wanted to write about something else but I cannot remember what it was….
I still have a little time before the bike store opens so, I’ma chill for a minute and see if I can remember.
Okay, I remembered one thing – the handlebars.
But it was something else too.
Anyway, I’m in my hotel room now, having successfully completed every mission I had planned.
I even fooled this Sister into thinking I was from New Orleans. LOL
She asked me “Why do you look like I know you?”
I said, “Probably from around here.”
She asked me where I was from.
I said, “Around here” (Treme’)
Then she asked me what High School I went to.
I said, “Clark” LOL
I knew that school has been here a long time because the Brother I met last time I was there told me he went there and he was in his seventies!
She asked me if I knew some people named “Carter?”
And I was like
Hmm, Carter? That name sounds so familiar!” LOL
So, we started talking and whatnot
But she told me she went to this restaurant around the corner and bought some fish.
And you know I was like, “I hope not catfish, that’s the only fish ya’ll eat out here!”
And then I was like
Oops!
But she didn’t catch it.
So, I figured I had better ‘fess up before she caught me.
But that was fun.
****
I’m kinda pissed because a Second-Line just went down the block, but I wasn’t dressed so I missed it. 😦 I was thinking about going to see Papa Marsalis. He’s going to be at this venue I’ve heard is really nice, but I don’t feel like going anywhere. It’s so rare that I have a place like this. I want to take full advantage.
His “other” son, Jason, is going to be there tomorrow and I kinda like him. He stayed in New Orleans like Papa, while his two Brothers (Wynton and Branford) left. Oh wait, that’s the “other other” Brother – Delfeayo. LOL
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to go to this venue so I might as well go while I have some money. I’m not going to be able to get a hotel as often as I thought anyway, because I had to buy another Lulu.
****
Looks like I’m gonna be up in the VA with the homeless people *sigh*
Make dua for me, People
(Pray for me)
(But don’t pray to no mystery god up in the sky that doesn’t exist)
(Pray to the ONE True and Living God, Allah, Master Fard Muhammad,
To Whom Praises Are Due Forever)
 ****
I feel like I’m on a business trip. Lying in the hotel room typing on my laptop.
It feels good.
Kinda like what I expect if I go to NYC to interview Kool DJ Herc.
Aw man, not NYC again…  😀
****
Why is another Second Line going down the block?
Then again, it might be the same one because it sounds like it’s coming from the other direction.
I wanna go out there SO BADLY, but then I don’t….
****
THE MUSIC THO!
The only thing keeping me from going out there, is I know by the time I get dressed they’re gonna be gone and I’ve seen people running after Second Lines before and it is not a good look, but they sound like they stopped right outside!!!!
Oh Lort.
The music stopped.
I’m getting dressed
BRB
Nah, I sat up and the heat in the room just enveloped me like a warm hug.
I ain’t goin’ nowherr.
I wish I could turn on the news or YT
The music started back up again
AND
They sound like THEY ain’t goin nowhere
Til I come out
MAN
I feel like Pookie
It’s CALLING me, MAN!
They’re still out there!
Okay, the music stopped.
But that just means
THEY AIN’T GOING NOWHERR!!!
****
I feel like I’m here with Razzaq
And if I leave
It would be cutting into our private time.
“We” don’t have a room often
AND
I’m listening to RAHEEM….
****
Okay
I
Think
They’re
Finished…
****
Man, ya’ll just don’t KNOW!!!
New Orleans is off the chain…
And I’m like this when it comes to the MUSIC!!!
(fiendin’!!!)
Both Miles Davis and Duke Ellington wrote of bandmembers from New Orleans who got homesick and abandoned them.
I don’t recall reading or hearing about any musicians from anywhere else who did that.
****
But anyway, I still can’t remember what else I wanted to write about.
I’ll just say this.
If you want to lose weight or get in shape
Park your car and get a bike.
I’ve never seen a fat person riding a bike…
❤ ❤ ❤

Friday

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.)

Losing Lulu

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

img_20161110_080822

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

ramadan_mubarak_3_by_callligrapher

 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…

Accessory

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

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

So, you know I can’t stay put.

I figured I would have to use the bathroom eventually,

So, it was impractical to think I could stay in THE HONEYCOMB HIDEOUT

ALL DAY.

So, I’m at the Library

Charged my stuff

And came to the patio to eat

WHEN

This Brother I had seen talking to himself

While I was riding by with Lulu

Suddenly appears before me.

Razzaq was like “Don’t talk to him. He’s Crazy and is going to try and hustle you.

But I know he just said that to let me know I should be cautious in dealing with him.

So, I turned down my music and asked the Brother what was up?

He asked about my laptop

How much was it?

Where did I get it?

How do you get to Walmart?

I answered him cordially.

Then he asked me did I need anything?

(That should have raised a red flag because that’s the same thing the Voodou Brother asked me but that didn’t dawn on me until he was long gone.)

And if I was homeless?

Did I want him to get me a hotel?

Now this Brother had on shoes that were hanging together by a string and looked like he needed a hotel himself.

So, at first I was like, Nah, I’m cool.

Then I was like, what the hell?

And I asked him if he had money?

He said he was getting some.

So, I was like, Then yeah, I need a hotel. I’ma need $65

So, he said he would be back.

Now, I’m hoping he don’t go out and rob nobody

But I am not going to refuse it if he comes through.

I don’t know why I’m on a Nate D-O-Double G kick today.

This is the second video I’ve posted of him

TODAY!

Let me Google him

BRB

AND

I posted Oh No yesterday, I think!

Okay, let me see

BRB

Okay, I get it.

Nate was THE hook singer for every successful Hip-Hop track of the nineties

AND

I

Sing

Nate D-O-doubleG in NOLA

Turnt down on a Tuesday

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Black Bebies

So, I’ve been procrastinating about writing this blog long enough.

I just didn’t have anything to write about and when I write it gives the enemy clues to my whereabouts so they can trail me.

But Allah is Sufficient.

I got to Facebook and help some Brothers who are mistakenly following leaders other than The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him).

But you know, now that I’m writing, I feel one thousand per cent better.

Razzaq was telling me to write all morning.

But, like I said, I didn’t have anything to write about.

It feels so good to be out in The New Orleans weather.

It rained last night and I didn’t even know.

Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praises are due forever, keeps me sheltered without me even being aware. Al Hamdulillah!

So cheah.

It’s the end of the month and I’m just trying to make it until I get my check on Friday without being caught.

I mean, jail would mean shelter and three meals, but they make me take off my headpiece. Both jail and the hospital.

That’s the only reason why I don’t want to go.

That and I probably would have to buy another laptop and iphone.

Police steal.

I never get my stuff back.

They stole two hundred dollars from me the first time I got arrested.

I had a tablet TWICE that I never saw again.

They steal in the hospital too.

I had twenty dollars in my purse the last time I went in, but when I got out, no duckets.

So, I’m just going to try and persevere.

I had a loaf of bread, some cream cheese and capers that I hid yesterday because I didn’t want to carry it around with me and this morning when I went to go get it (I really wanted to eat too) it was gone.

But Allah is Razzaq.

I survived three months here last year with nothing.

I was just about to say, It’s just BORING and then I look out the window and see white puffs racing across the sky. I’ve never seen clouds travel as quickly as they do in New Orleans. It’s amazing.

New Orleans is so romantic.

Especially at night.

But I heard somebody got killed on Bourbon Street this weekend. And nine people were injured in a shootout.

They say Bayou Classic is one of the most dangerous times in New Orleans.

Apparently some Brothers who had beef ran into each other but neither one of them got injured.

I rode by and saw how lit it was. I mean they had streets blocked off so cars couldn’t go down them and there were Black folks er’wherr, and I love that, but something kept me from going in. Al Hamdulillah!

I guess I’ll buy another loaf of bread and try and keep it this time.

The Messenger (May the peace and the blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us that bread and milk are our best foods. Or bean soup and bread. So, I’ll get some more cream cheese and that can be my “milk” LOL

It’s just SO peaceful where I am right now and peace is HARD to come by in this wicked world, so I’m hesitant to leave.

Maybe when my battery runs out…

It’s so HOT today.

This weather is bananas.

But I’d rather be hot than cold.

I was thinking about telling Keyvin about one of my HONEYCOMB HIDEOUTS that I hate. But I would hate to have to go there one day and have to try and kick him out. So, sorry Key, that would not be a good look. Take the road less traveled and find your own spots.

BLUE MONDAY

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Another New Orleanian ^^^^ Mr. Domino ❤ ❤ ❤ )

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

Compared to the weekend I had, today was very boring.

I got up, typed my blog, then decided to wash my cloak (which is filthy due to me sleeping on it in less than habitable places) but my laundry pod thingies were locked in the masjid along with my shampoo, Ivory Aloe and white washcloth among other things.

So, since my funds are kinda low, I decided to go pick up the pods instead of buying more.

I get there and, of course, it’s locked.

But that’s never stopped me.

I hopped the gate and found Brother Muhammad doing groundswork.

He’s cool. I think he’s like one of the Believers who just went along with the Sunni Hypocrites to stay alive. So, we get along real good.

He didn’t trip about me hopping the fence and I got to watch him do “man work.”

That’s my favorite pasttime. 😉

I just love watching Blackmen work!

They could be cooking, doing construction, yardwork, carpentry, electrical work, playing music, performing surgery, teaching a class or anything manual. I don’t think sitting at a desk, pushing papers or typing on a keyboard would be as interesting. Then again, if it’s the right Brother……. 😉 ❤ ❤ ❤

So, this car pulls up and it’s the Brother who always comes for Zhuhr and sits in the car until the Muezzin unlocks the door.

So, me and Mr. Muhammad are not really paying him any attention but his presence is felt.

So, Razzaq tells me that he has the key.

And after another Brother shows up and leaves, he gets out of the car and unlocks the door!

I was like, Mm, mm, mm. SMH

This nigga is probably the one who kicked me out.

Sitting there like he’s nobody.

But you can’t fool a Muslim nowadays.

So, I go around to the back door, so I won’t have to hop the fence again and Mr. Muhammad had just come out, so I go get my stuff and leave.

I go around the corner and these Brothers were working on the street and you know very well, I like watching Brothers hard at work. So, I stopped and we watched each other.

Then I saw the Sister who told me about the vacant houses in the neighborhood. She said she has THREE houses. I told her I just need one. And that I had tried to get in one of the houses she told me about but I really don’t like hopping fences. I’m trying to be a LADY and chill on hopping fences and climbing in and out of windows and whatnot. Sometimes it’s such a hassle, waiting for somebody to open the door for me. :/ But I’m a QUEEN in training, so I gotta leave the little girl stuff to the little girls. Even though that’s more little boy stuff LOL

So, she tells me that that gate is unlocked. And I was like What? I don’t remember there even being a gate. But she was walking in that direction, so I reluctantly left the men and followed her. Shelter is important. 

So, she tells me that the owner next door to the house is her Brother-in-Law and I could just tell him I’m homeless, so don’t call the Po-Pos on me.

But I hate being dependent on anyone other than my Razzaq, so I didn’t say anything.

I feel like they’re trying to trap me.

The house was right next door to the little Brother I spoke to for two hours the other day and he was outside when we rolled up but he went in after they spoke like he didn’t want to have anything to do with me. At least not helping me. Even though that was how we met. :/ He asked if I needed any help. :/

I feel like if I ask them not to say anything they’re going to feel like I owe them and I ain’t the one.

Not to mention, that little Brother was talking about Voodou a bit much for my taste and Idk, I could climb through that open window (which happens to be the ONLY house I’ve ever seen in New Orleans that had an open window. All of the other windows, even in inhabited houses, are boarded up) and never come back out. Next thing you know, they’ll be using my skull for some type of Voodou ritual. :/ IJS

So, I went back to the Brothers working on the street and gave them my fliers.

Then, let me think….

Oh yeah, I remembered another little wash house. I’m not even gonna call it a laundromat. SMH

I don’t know why they don’t have more laundromats in New Orleans.

The only thing I can attribute it to is what I was talking about earlier, how everybody gets paid, so they probably all have washers and dryers.

When you finally find one, in the hood, they are the jankiest ramshackle broken-down machines and they cost so much!!!

In L.A., I used to get upset when they charged $1.50. Most are $1.25 to wash and .25 to dry. Yes, one quarter to dry.

Out here, you can pay $3.50 just to wash and another $3.50 to dry!

I used to do a whole weeks laundry in L.A. for $6.00.

In NOLA, I can barely do one load for that much.

And having only two changes of clothes, I have to do laundry EVERY DAY.

When I have my own place it’s no big deal because I can handwash and air dry.

But being homeless…

Try finding a sink where they don’t trip….

Al Hamdulillah, I’ve been pretty lucky.

So, anyway, I try this new wash house, and it’s just as janky as the other one I found in the hood and there’s nobody there and no change machine.

BUT

There are outlets!

So, I just start charging my laptop.

This Mexican lady comes in and does a load and I ask about the units because it’s in an apartment complex.

She doesn’t like me at first, but I win her over with my wit and charm.

She tells me who manages the property but it’s some big corporation and I don’t like those, so after she leaves I remember there’s a phone number on a sign outside and called it. But, alas, it just redirected to the big corporation.

Razzaq’s way of telling me he wants me homeless.

So, I’m in there just chillin’, listening to my music and this Brother comes in asking could he look in the garbage for some empty bottles.

I was like, What? It’s not MY garbage! :/

But, he just wanted to talk to me.

We talked for a good hour, and I think he just wanted some blessings because he was a singer and I’m good friends with Allah and also really into music.

He also told me about his love life and I gave him some wisdom.

But, he is a diehard Christian, so I don’t know about him…

After my laptop and phone were fully charged, I shook.

Went and got something to eat. Ate and came to the library where I am now and they’re about to close.

So, I guess I’ma sneak in the spot again… *sigh*

Thankful
