Dwight,<br />
I pray everything goes well with your surgery. Keep your head up throughout all of this and know that this Orlando native has never lost faith in you. It is what is it is. You've made Orlando proud and you will be remembered long after Stan Van Gundy (seriously, who is he). I've said it before and I'll say it again, where ever you go I'll still be a fan. Take care of your self!<br />
Much love and God bless<br />
<br />
One love<br />

<br />
That's right, Dwight! Now I'm all tuned in. Whats going on with the Magic? So I read <a href="http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/04/05/blogtable-van-gundy-vs-dwight/">this</a>, watch <a href="http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2012/04/05/20120405_vangundy_howard.nba/">that</a>, and decided I wanted to weigh in on the matter. Thinking this was like my other favorite blog where you write a comment and it just gets posted- magic - I decided to write my two scents on a male dominated page, under the name Queen. My first opening sentence was I'm not a basketball guru but I do have an opinion on the matter... I spent 10 min or so making sure my post was reading to be submitted. <br />
<br />
After I hit submit, my comment was gone and later I would find out it didn't even get posted- black magic. So I was like fine.. They don't want to post my comment. That's cool, that's why I have my own blog. I should have written it here first. Now I know. But unfortunately, sometimes writing is like lightning. What you said and how you said it only strikes once. That is why you write it down.<br />
<br />
So to the best of my abilities I will try to recreate what mysteriously got misplaced on www.nba.com Sekou Smith's Hang Time Blog. <br />
<br />
Blogtable: Van Gundy vs. Dwight<br />
The question was asked: <b><span style="color: #993300;">In the Dwight Howard/Stan Van Gundy mess: Who’s wrong? And how do you see this thing ending up?</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<b>My comment</b><b>: <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">I am not a basketball guru, but I do have an opinion on the matter. I am a big Dwight Howard fan thus looking at the situation subjectively I do not think he is wrong.<i> </i></span></b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>[That's could be a reason they refused to post my comment lol... continuing..</i>. ] Without pointing figures on who is to blame (only the persons involved really know what went down) I do not think anyone was wrong. However, Van Gundy could have handled the situation better. As a coach the success of your team/players should come before first. Isn't that what makes an excellent coach? After all it really is not about you Stan. Furthermore, Van Gundy may need to re-evaluate implying that 'no comment' is a bullshit statement. No comment means you do not want to discuss the matter what ever it is. It is not confirming or denying anything. It also means you do not have to explain how you feel about the situation 'no comment' encompasses it all. I can not say that Van Gundy was wrong for answering questions how he felt most comfortable at the time. BUT</span></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">In the end analysis Stan, don't you think 'no comment' would have caused far less controversy and put your players, including Howard, in a better mind set to win games.... Just Saying</span></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">- my humble opinion.</span></b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
or something like that... Overall I am still not pointing any fingers but I do agree with what <a href="http://www.nba.com/video/channels/tnt_overtime/2012/04/05/20120405_top5_inside_2.nba/">Barkley said</a>. However, sometimes in a given sitution nobody is wrong, but in situations where things can get uncomfortable for most parties, one should always ask themselves - Was there a better way to handle that?<br />

As I have previously stated, I don't really watch TV per se, but I can't
get enough of Hulu. It allows me to get to my shows on my terms. Thus, I know I'm mad late with this post BUT
I'm going to write it anyhow. Another one of my favorite shows to
watch on Hulu, <a href="http://2queeneyes.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-girl-session-1-episode-11.html">other than New Girl</a>, is Suburgatory. I don't know why but I just took to this
show. Though I'm ashamed to admit the casting of the hot single dad, Jeremy Sisto, worked for me. Good job ABC. HOWEVER, after episode 17 from Season 1
was left completely baffled. <br />
<br />
Leading me to one major question for ABC. Why did you cast all black
women for as Dallas' sorority sisters? This wouldn't have been a question if
like 50% of her sister's were black, but being that 100% were black, it seemed, well...
intentional. But I couldn't figure out exactly what ABC's intentions
were. If you wanted Tulsa to be Robin Givens you still could have
accomplished this without casting an all black sorority. I have some
serious questions for you ABC... Its just strange... and we all know in
TV land everything is calculated. So what message where you trying to
send ABC... Now if left to me I can come up with several theories
but tying to pinpoint which one is closest to the truth is not good
enough for me. SO ABC I want to know. Minority roles on television are
already in the minority yet you choose to break the mold on one show for
one minor part and cast all black/minority people.... In my opinion you
have some explaining to do.<br />
<br />
Please enjoy some selected still shots of the character Dallas (played by Cheryl Hines) and her black sorority sisters.<br />

<br />
Those who know me, know I know <i>very </i>little about sports. I don't pick sports teams because of skill of players, how many champions they have won or are projected to win, or for any legitimate reason people may pick sports teams. I pick teams by location, cuteness of players, and colors. When I have to watch ultimate wrestling, I choose contenders by who I think has on the better pair of shorts... So what I'm trying to emphasis is, my loyalty to sports is random and not rooted in a love for the actual sport.<br />
<br />
However, I am BEYOND loyal to the Orlando Magic, even though I seldom watch games. I pay attention when people mention the Magic (for the most part any other team gets tuned out). You may be thinking, how am I loyal and don't even watch or understand sports. My loyalty to the Magic can only be understood by me. Since this is my blog I will continue...<br />
<br />
Recently I attended an Orlando Magic game- tickets courtesy my dad... its hard out here for a student... I just had to see my favorite player, Dwight Howard, before he speculatively leaves the Magic. To Howard: no love lost even if you leave beloved Orlando. While at the game, donned in my no. 12 Magic T-shirt with "Queen' on the back, I was yelling the names for the only players I knew: Dwight and Turkoglu. I like Turkoglu because of his last name. Its just fun to say.<br />

Then a new fav player was born. Glen Davis. He was the biggest basketball player I had ever seen. In my opinion, most basketball players are lean looking. But not Davis he is solid in a cuddly kind of way. I had never seen his build on the court before. I said " thats a big boy'. Initially I didnt know his name so when it came time for me to yell at him I yelled "Go Big Boy!"<br />

After the game when recaping all my favorite moments from a fantastic game! I mentioned to my friend that Dwight was still my fav player but I have a new favorite, Big Boy.<br />
<br />
She looked at me and said "You mean Big Baby"<br />
<br />
"No" I said "Big Boy" thinking <i>if I meant to call him Big Baby I would have done so</i>.<br />
<br />
She turned and said "his nickname is Big Baby.''<br />
<br />
Really, all this time Im yelling Big Boy and the kids nickname is Big Baby. Oh boy... Nobody even bothered to correct me.<br />
<br />
To Big Baby: I will now call you Big Baby didnt know that was your nick name, but you are a big boy. No disrespect, I know your a man :)<br />

Much love to all the Magic. <br />

<b>FAQ</b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nobody really asks me these questions but I generated my own list.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Q. What is your favorite basketball team.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbkG4NMJk3CGLDjKHy21PYN4PhxYNAQvKa5dzK47yXVXihNinE2qEc0_iuFaz6Fc-jw_VkZo8IVxKpuDYcuqGePxZtkOJ_n9ETNhYuM04P4Dj5b3HoogpAhyphenhyphenzSBHpRvWIbR_lL3BHx_JO/s1600/Dwight-Howard-c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbkG4NMJk3CGLDjKHy21PYN4PhxYNAQvKa5dzK47yXVXihNinE2qEc0_iuFaz6Fc-jw_VkZo8IVxKpuDYcuqGePxZtkOJ_n9ETNhYuM04P4Dj5b3HoogpAhyphenhyphenzSBHpRvWIbR_lL3BHx_JO/s320/Dwight-Howard-c.jpg" width="320" /></a>A. The Orlando Magic, simply because they are located in Orlando the best city (I may be basis, thats my hometown). The Celtics are now my second fav team.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. Why is Dwight Howard your favorite player?<br />
<br />
A. Because he is cute and plays for my fav basketball team, the Orlando Magic. Davis is now on the list of fav's. Both of them <a href="http://www.nba.com/magic/video/2012/03/24/032412druhillm4v-2045575">are fools, but I love them! lol</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Q. Why are the Celtics now on your list of fav basketball teams. <br />
<br />
A. Because their colors are <b style="color: #38761d;">green</b> and white. Shaq used to play for them and was first signed to the Orlando Magic. Now my other fav player, Big Baby, who now plays for the Orlando Magic was first signed to the Celtics.<br />

Yesterday my mother called and with so much pain in her voice said</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Whitney Houston is dead."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

At the time I was out with friends and though I am known to some as overly dramatic, I'm not overly emotional. However, instantly I felt the urge to cry. This was my musical inspiration as a child and to this day still my favorite singer. There isn't words to to express how much I love Whitney.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love music! And as far as vocalist are concerned: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whitney Houston = Music</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though I know I can not possibly feel the pain of her loss as much as her family and close friends, I grieve none the less. I have spent my entire Sunday in solitude watching clips and videos of Whitney on Youtube and plan to cap off the night watching The Bodyguard from my personal collection of movies. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It wouldn't feel right if I didn't dedicate a post to Whitney and her golden voice. Though it is extremely hard for me to pick a number one fav song sung by Whitney (because to me the are all so exceptional!), I did leave a few of my top fav's below which coincidentally happen to be some of my favorite songs period. </div>

But being that I enjoy wasting productive hours by watching TV, I watch Hulu instead. Currently, one of my new favorite shows on Hulu is New Girl. I most always behind schedule because Hulu takes forever to post episodes (in my opinion). However, I was so delighted with this last episode that I just had to post a few still frames<br />
<br />
But before I do...<br />
Here is my plug for the show.<br />
1. Its not for everyone. I tremendously enjoy it because strangely I identify with the main female character... and a few other characters as well.<br />
2. Its only 30 min thus it does not feel like a guilty pleasure, at least not to me. You can watch one episode and not feel like you wasted too much time.<br />
3. Every episode will give you a good laugh, and if it doesn't refer back to plug 1.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now on to the still frames. Note: they wont make any sense not unless you've watched the episode. I just wanted to highlight a few of my fav parts. <br />

While sitting in class, hearing the calming sounds of the professor voice
as I tuned her out, my attention was jarred by a new sound of
pills --- You know that distinctive sound of pills rolling around in that
small orange bottle.<br />
<br />
<br />
Immediately, I was intrigued because the young man preparing to take these pills looked like a strapping young fellow and I was ever so interested to know
what he needed medication for. Since I couldn't ask, I decided to amuse
myself by watching him because obviously I still was not paying attention to
the lecture. The young man proceeded to make a considerable amount of noise with his pill
bottle, to the point where I was surprised more people were not watching him. But
unfortunately, I proved to be the only noisy person in class.<br />
<br />
After he had finally shaken free one pill and his
pill bottle was secured in his backpack he went to fiddle with a Mountain Dew bottle. Now if your thinking what I was thinking, then yes, I also thought Mountain Dew was a strange choice of liquid to take with medicine. I really
couldn't judge because Mountain Dew just so happens to be one of my favorite beverages, however, for
medicine I would have chosen water or in some cases fruit juice. But as I said, I
was not judging...<br />
<br />
While unscrewing his Mountain Dew soda bottle he accidentally managed to
drop his pill. From my seat I
could not clearly see where the pill had dropped but I continued to watch.
I then observed him check his pants, scoot back in his chair, check the floor and bend over to retrieve something from the ground... In my
assumption, it was his pill. <br />
<br />
Now being that this was my number one entertainment for the hour, I was
all to intrigued to know what was going to happen next. Was he going to
go through the whole loud production of shaking out one more pill, or
was he going to be done with pill taking ordeal for the time being, or... was
he going to eat it... I watched in anticipation.<br />
<br />
He took a moment to situate himself and
then there was a pause. During his pause I momentarily looked away just in case by some off chance he looked at me I wouldn't be caught me starring. Then,
it happened. My peripheral vision caught him raise his hand to his
mouth. Now with my eyes trained in anticipation I witnessed him inconspicuously hover
his hand with the pill by his mouth, then, he ate it and chased it down
with his Mountain Dew. <br />
<br />
At this point I was completely disgusted and started to judge him- slightly. What
grown person still eats of the floor? Please people, that is only for
kids because they don't know any better. Grown people should do better
strictly because they know better. But in the height of my disgust, I
had a flashback to when I accidentally dropped my iphone in a
public toilet... Before this unfortunate event I would have hastily said there is<b> never</b> any reason, under no circumstances, to stick your hand in a toilet. However, when my phone slipped from my back pocket into the toilet bowl it was almost instinctual to stick my hand in the toilet as I did without a second thought. It was only after I had safely
retrieved my iphone that my natural germaphobic characteristics
resurfaced. When it was all said and done, I didn't quite know if I felt disgusted with myself especially since my iphone survived the ordeal due
to my lightning speed hands.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTknxz40vmvpw_SUjh91ZXQ9L7kcomvi3LopdWwE8C5Jf80XJ2e_p5W8pxjlJ7XfknFqH0vlo5U90O7dm5mfbJqQzgV21ovA_tt_YfwbezHrMabsgjNGf4tEFKq51hduecU6gT7itEE5V/s1600/wp7029e8ed_05_06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTknxz40vmvpw_SUjh91ZXQ9L7kcomvi3LopdWwE8C5Jf80XJ2e_p5W8pxjlJ7XfknFqH0vlo5U90O7dm5mfbJqQzgV21ovA_tt_YfwbezHrMabsgjNGf4tEFKq51hduecU6gT7itEE5V/s200/wp7029e8ed_05_06.jpg" width="148" /></a><br />
My driving motivation was the fact that I did not have money to replace my iphone due
to water (toilet) damage. Thus it caused me to do things
uncharacteristic of me (i.e. touching<b> any</b> part of a public toilet). With
this in mind, I started to wonder... Was it right to judge this man for eating his
medication off the floor. Either he is really nasty or there is a
driving motivation for him to do so. Since I would like to think the
best of people, I believe the latter. But seriously, my honest question
is: What is the price of medication?<br />

I happened to wonder on to Google (my favorite search engine) and was confronted with this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtjOLNmaXP5AC0Ud9N637rYOmUbjgqJSh0cbYw5Gka_ERDoqb34Ar9c2zA42m9fpCpckEpk4z7VHNLWjJ3dL8_GptkdRfQhB5M-MOTXT_Mic7bVx5Rfrw2_mheI2KUtoXpiypAn6T6cZj/s1600/google+censor+awareness+pic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtjOLNmaXP5AC0Ud9N637rYOmUbjgqJSh0cbYw5Gka_ERDoqb34Ar9c2zA42m9fpCpckEpk4z7VHNLWjJ3dL8_GptkdRfQhB5M-MOTXT_Mic7bVx5Rfrw2_mheI2KUtoXpiypAn6T6cZj/s640/google+censor+awareness+pic.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now... one of the reasons I love Google is because they find the most creative things to do with their logo. I have been known, all to many times, to click the Google image to see what it currently represents. Or, as I did this past Christmas, spend more time than normal playing with the button notes under the interactive image (see image below, do you remember this one), embarrassing, but true. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKdQDU6pc_pIEtKd0RYtG2spaeIT8CkaM5mxpnl2ldHIjZkxP4iZGZJBiIyqerMPuq2OZz0R_oINMYPpaqPLczqpObhp8eeLs02hwVjzIiy0vnVtY2ZJLyN5aYFI-suOlCqr1jMLyhQ9K/s1600/google-holidays-2011-1324647803.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKdQDU6pc_pIEtKd0RYtG2spaeIT8CkaM5mxpnl2ldHIjZkxP4iZGZJBiIyqerMPuq2OZz0R_oINMYPpaqPLczqpObhp8eeLs02hwVjzIiy0vnVtY2ZJLyN5aYFI-suOlCqr1jMLyhQ9K/s320/google-holidays-2011-1324647803.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Ok, back to post...<br />
<br />
As I stared at the blacked out Google, I thought it was strange. When redirected to the petition page: End Piracy, Not Liberty, honestly I didn't even take the time to read it. I just kept it moving because, after all I just wanted to know why they blocked out the Google logo, at present I was satisfied with my vague understanding. I was past tired, thus I preceded to use my favorite search engine so I could hurry off to sleep. When I woke up later that day, I found out to my HORROR wiki went dark.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg81xqxnhDTcPS85bdwpOH7q5AbsZVC2FP8b15bK-EFXek4tTLKYJYMf_VbWQqqqShFmj32iCQINUsMso2iiiwTM-pMHrzanFG6AREaGMk3RjZ2TXru6ghR4edPwcyNRtlSo6NKwdBgpA7d/s1600/wiki+gone+dark.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg81xqxnhDTcPS85bdwpOH7q5AbsZVC2FP8b15bK-EFXek4tTLKYJYMf_VbWQqqqShFmj32iCQINUsMso2iiiwTM-pMHrzanFG6AREaGMk3RjZ2TXru6ghR4edPwcyNRtlSo6NKwdBgpA7d/s640/wiki+gone+dark.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If I wasn't paying attention before, I was now. What was going on here! Google now Wiki! Wiki, is like my ultimate favorite site. More than half the time when I get on my favorite search engine it leads me to my favorite site, wiki. How was I going to make it through the day without wiki. At the time I didn't know but alas the day is over and I am here. But it got me thinking...<br />
<br />
<br />
Those with the biggest platform, can be heard.<br />
<br />
Before yesterday I had no idea about the bills Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or that my Internet access could be censored. But I started learning a little more about it as the day progressed. Can you image how many people signed that petition yesterday, or called their representative or congressman? Can you imagine the change that could have taken place yesterday because someone had the platform and the resources to do raise awareness.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, for wiki and other sites, these bills hit close to home. So because they had the appropriate resources and most importantly a platform to be heard, they went about doing something. They made people aware and further more care. Care to do something. Its got to make you think, how many bills are passed before you are aware or before you can raise awareness? On the issues that may matter and most always affect the common man, why are we as a whole not more aware?<br />
<br />
I will never feign to be a political person or pretend that I completely understand our democratic system. But none the less, I do know when legislation is being made on my behalf I should do more in lieu of awareness or at least I will say in 2012 I can try. We should be more invested in making changes with issues we are most concerned with. Though I may not have a big platform if I, one, do something to implement change and you do <b>two</b>, we can do things as Wiki put it- extraordinary.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
I love the holidays! For me it truly starts with Thanksgiving. That is my fav. But Christmas seems to be a top-ranking holiday for many and in my opinion its because of the gift giving.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
We often hear before the holidays: What do you want for Christmas?</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
And after the holidays: What did you get for Christmas? </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Which leads me to believe Christmas is really only about what you get... and maybe it forces you to believe you have to give excessively for apparently no other reasons other than its Christmas and its socially acceptable to do so. Now... even though I'm sure your probably a grown behind adult like me, you might still be asked: "What did Santa bring you for Christmas?"</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
... pause... <i>Really? </i></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
No disrespect, but who is Santa anyway? My mother never told me about this dude. My education on this man comes purely from TV. All my presents were signed 'from mom and dad', never Santa, and even then I knew the from dad part was a lie - that man does not Christmas shop. Then somewhere in high school I finally learned Christmas was much more than presents. This happened abruptly and quite simply. I woke up on Christmas morning to not one present. We had Christmas dinner and went to a Christmas program and... that was it.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
But this dude Santa, the giver of presents on Christmas. Why do we tell our children about him, when to my knowledge we all generally agree he doesn't exist. Why do we further deceive our children letting them believe they have been good all year and reward them with presents from Santa. Under the pretense of Santa, why do we start of the spirit of benevolence with a lie? </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Two disservices are done by the perpetuation of Santa, we encourage our kids to be materialistic and we encourage them to lie. Its harsh but somewhat true if we remain honest with ourselves. Its time for the idea of Santa's gifts to die! Yeah, I said it. Let him be a great folklore or something... </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
So honestly, If someone asks me this year what did Santa bring me?</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
I'll say "The same thing he brings me every year - not a damn thing."</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Today I am 5 years natural. Thus, I thought it apropos to raise the question: what it means to be natural? The word natural has </span><b>too</b><span style="font-size: small;"> many definitions, as I have recently learned from Merriam-Webster, but today we will start with the term natural as it pertains to hair.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Generally, when someone dubs ones self “natural” it normally means that they do not use chemicals to permanently alter the texture of their hair. This is frequently used among women with <u>natural</u></span>ly highly textured hair. In other words, they do not have a relaxer/perm. However, the term natural is used differently for different people, but I never cared to clarify the term natural until recently.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A couple months ago I went out with some friends. We were admiring a woman with a large curly afro, which evidently was a wig. After it was clarified that the women was indeed wearing a wig (which by the way was fabulous) this dude, who we will name Kevin, took it upon himself to say he loves women who are natural. The comment was made almost as if to discount Curly Afro wig lady. What he didn’t know was that under the wig she was natural, natural that is according to our previous definition. So I took it upon myself to give this woman a fair chance. I told Kevin she was natural, and that was when all hell broke loose. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For what seemed like the next hour Kevin and I launched into a debate on whether one can wear a wig/weave and still be considered natural. I only indulged him in this conversation because I was bored; and because at present I also had weave in my hair. But mostly because I was bored… My stance was just because you wear a wig or a weave doesn’t mean you’re not natural. Though Kevin seemed to disagree he was very passionate about his point, and during the course of our little debate he said, “I take the word natural very seriously.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Though our conversation came to no resolve, I left thinking... <i>At what point do you <b><u>not</u> </b>call yourself natural? </i> My mind spiraled down so many scenarios, not all pertaining to hair.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I wear simple makeup and shear lip gloss, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I wear lotion or perfume, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I don’t have implants but wear a wonder bra or any bra really, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I wear contacts vs. glasses, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I had braces, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I wear nail polish, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I shave my legs are remove any excess hair from my body, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I wear a spanx under my freakem dress, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If I color my hair or chemically alter my hair, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And of course… If I wear weaves or wigs, am I natural?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Where do you draw the line? If I allow myself to be completely objective, anything that is not strictly hygienic that enhances or alters your appearance can easily put you in the category of un-natural. So, I hear you Kevin, you take the word natural very seriously. But, exactly how is one to define natural?</span></div>

I’ve wanted to create a blog for some time. At first, there was the mere problem of not knowing how to start a blog. Even at my youthful age technology confuses me. It’s quite embarrassing really. Finally a combination of boredom and anxiety has led me to this point - My first post. </div>

Now that I’m here I don’t quite know what to write. Well… more like I don’t quite know what to write first. Do I jump in there or do I introduce myself? I don’t know, it feels awkward. Nonetheless, I am here. Writing has always been therapeutic for me and now writing for my thoughts to be found by anyone is a brand new journey. My inexperience with blogging has handicapped me long enough. I’m just going to give it a try and I welcome you (yes you… the world wide web) on my journey and definitely welcome input. </div>

I am not a writer, not terribly creative, extremely sporadic, not always too bright, but most importantly I am inquisitive and opinionated. I have taken to blogging because I want an outlet to express myself on issues I find interesting. As any complete person my interests varies from topic to topic which is why I cannot dedicate this blog to any particular topic. I’m sure a general theme will develop over time, yet I don’t know what it will be. Overall, I am excited to have completed my first post and even more excited to known that I now have a blog!</div>

Thanks world wide web for reading my first post about nothing! Specifically, I would like to thank my mom and my first follower. Thanks for believing in Queen Eyes before there even was a post.</div>
