Why Men Love Bitches

I read this book a few years ago and I absolutely agree with this woman who thinks like a man. My kinda girl! I knew most of the rules nonetheless, great read!


Women & Self-Worth

Growing up I learned about self-worth and self-esteem at a young age. It wasn't long before I realized that I am on of the lucky ones. The media puts so much pressure on women and the way we should think, act and look. I was taught to have my own thoughts and that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. There is a huge spectrum of diversity and it is okay to be different, it's okay to have your own mind. My biggest pet peeve for most of my life has been women not knowing their self-worth. No matter if you are a Harvard grad or a high school drop out, we are so much more than what the eye sees. I absolutely hate when women limit their achievements because we don't feel worthy. I think my biggest goal in life is to help women understand that a man and our mistakes do not define us and that we are so much more better than letting a man abuse us. I feel that a man is just that, a man. There are great ones and there are not so great ones. There is so much more in life than to be in an unhappy place. Every woman has a different story to tell, but the ones that actually make it through the storm can actually show their daughters to succeed under any circumstance. I believe self-worth is taught before we are able to speak and it is definitely something passed down generation after generation. If a little girl is told that she has the world in the palm of her hands then she will believe it as she blooms. While some of us are brought up in struggle, we can better understand the beautiful fight and appreciate success as adults.

Bottom line is, we have got to do better and learn to value and love our-real-selves.

Dear Mama

I don't know a stronger woman than my mother. I'm not just saying that, I really don't. I am the person I am today because of her. I feel like I owe it to her to do the very best I can. My mother has struggled so much her entire life from being the second oldest in her family of eleven & raising her mother's kids; to raising SIX of her very own kids by herself! She never once complained about the struggle that came with it. She did EVERYTHING she had to survive and feed her kids. and she did it with dignity. She is the most loving, supportive person I know, and I know I can always count on her. The best thing she ever taught me is to work hard, to never give up. She taught me to never ever take disrespect from anyone, especially a man. She never put a man before her kids, never even brought anyone around us. She taught her daughters that we can stand on our own feet and don't need anyone else to make it. She never complained about the years my dad beat her and cheated on her, instead she asks us to forgive him. She taught me to treat everyone with respect, no matter who they were or what they possess. She showed me to have my own mind and to speak up when I want. Anytime I have a "tough" day, I remember what really matters and what others are going through.

I know I can do anything I put my mind to because of her. I respect myself because of her. I work so damn hard every day because of her. I am my mother's daughter and I don't know any other way to be.

Women Are Like Apples

Women are like apples, the best ones are on the top of the tree.
The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good but easy.
So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Deputy Castro


Since becoming a Deputy for Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office my perception on life has changed. Seeing tragedy and drama first hand makes me more grateful of my life. I relax more, I go for long runs and walks and I love harder. Starting my law enforcement career is a goal I yearned and worked so hard for. It's an incredible feeling when a group of people believe in you, people who don't even know you. The next best feeling is helping people who confide in you to help them during life's dilemmas. I have great co-workers who will become family and will have my back on and off the streets. Thinking back on the day I got sworn in, I will never forget the joy and pride of holding my badge. I pray to God that he watches and guides me through my journey in law enforcement. I also pray that he helps me separate my job from my home life and I pray that he doesn't let me forget the hard work that went into getting my badge.

Just Listen: Janet Jackson

Artist: Janet Jackson
Song: Nothing
Album: Why Did I Get Married Too?


There’s something I wanna say,
Something that I’ve been holding back
Can’t let it go another day
Let me start by saying that
Nothing, nothing, nothing, means more than the truth.
And truth is that I realize, love is fading from your eyes
Don’t know how it came to this, but we gonna get it fixed tonight
Cus nothing, nothing, nothing, is worth losing you
Tell me what could the problem be, that’s got you drinking way too much
What could it be ’bout us?
Don’t you tell me not right now, I can’t let it go
(I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)
What can I do to help you see,
That there’s no need for jealousy or insecurities
I’ll do anything you want
You can even have the password to my phone
Because nothing, nothing, should come between us
Trust in me, trust in me
We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
Trust in me, trust in me
If your issues is with trust, hear me when I tell you this
No one else has shared my love, no one else has had your kiss
Nothing, nothing, nothing, can make me forget. (Noooo)
Forget that you’re a good man and I know that you've had it hard
Cus you’re more than adequate, you’re more than I wish for
Nothing, nothing, nothing, can make you any less.
Tell me what could the problem be,
The past is something I can’t change
It’s a brand new day
Don’t you tell me not right now,
I can’t let it go(I can’t let it go, no I can’t let it go, Oh nooo)
We've got to fix this, fix this right this minute
Only pure love can calm the noise
Cus baby when we give pure love
Pure love will never come back to us void
Because nothing, nothing
Should come between us
Trust in me, trust in me
We should cherish every moment like it’s the last
Trust in me Trust in me

Just Watch: Best Beyonce Performance

From all the performances Beyonce has ever done, this is by far my favorite. She KILLS it! It is from her Live at Wynn Las Vegas concert/dvd. I most definitely can feel what she's been through. Although it is not originally hers, her version is so sickening. i gotta look at her in her eyes, and see she's had half of me. she ain't even half of me! Just Watch...

Just Listen: Mariah Carey


Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: The Emancipation of Mimi
Song: Fly Like a Bird

The very first time I heard this song I was sitting in my CJ class in high school, I have yet to hear another song like this. While the pop culture is not open about the man upstairs, she actually performed this song at the Grammys and American Idol. It is perfect during stressful days or when you just need to hear something positive. keep your head up to the sky, with God's love you will survive! Just Listen...

Entrée Ain't As Good Without Something on the Side


I never understood why people in relationships cheat. Actually, I do. Because they are selfish, inconsiderate and insecure. Lately there has been a trend where these side pieces come out in the media and discuss their affairs with these stupid, famous men.


Everyone now knows how stupid and sick Tiger Woods is. Fifteen some-odd sl-ores Tiger? Really? In the midst of this scandal text messages, e-mails and voice mails were released. So aside from them being dumb they are attention whores.



Anyway, asshole number two just surfaced and he is no one other than Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James. Now, only one chick has come forward but as trashy as she is she makes up for Tiger's fifteen. The irony of this story is that Miss Congeniality took Jesse James from his ex-wife while she was pregnant. I guess the way you got him is the way you will eventually lose him. Karma.

These are just two men out of the sea of dishonest bastards who cheat. We do not know what goes on in anyone's relationships except our own, but if you want to cheat just be true to yourself and be single.
