A "Discreet" Relationship

So, I met this really cute older Asian man named Samuel online. Keep in mind that HE contacted me (because I'm so darned sexy and cute). He's a retired physician, not really the age group I like (he's my age, ha-ha!), but he was kinda cute.

Cute, until he sent the third e-mail that stated: "I really like you. You are the only black woman that's ever responded to me. Let's get together and have a "discreet" relationship". When I read that, the eyebrows went up and the mouth curled down! WTF, I thought, does he mean about a "discreet" relationship? He said he was widowed, so is there a girlfriend that he wants to "creep" on? A boyfriend? Silly ol' me didn't think, right away, that he'd dare imply that my ebony complexion was the source of his angst. After all, there my picture was in all it's African glory, my dark brown face staring out from his screen and he still e-mailed me. So, when I finally respond, he says some ish like that? Now, wait a damned minute, let's straighten this crooked crap out!

I got a message from a cowboy in Missouri, Wyoming some place like that (who cares?) when an IM pops up from Samuel that I accept. He starts off by asking if I remember him. Of course, I respond, I just read your message two days ago. Hell I ain't senile!

Well, he types, why haven't you answered my question about us getting together? Oh, I type back, you mean about the clandestine meeting under the cover of darkness that you identify as "discreet"? Well, he responds, we must be discreet because we are: (drum roll...) different races. Oh no, this mofo didn't, I thought!

I began typing so fast I had a typo every other word! lol I told him that I, as an independent, mature woman of color had dated lots of men of other races. ANY man that wanted the pleasure of my company had to be proud to be seen with me anytime, anyplace and if not, he could kiss my black ass! He typed back: "ok, bye". Damn, what was he smokin'?

The unmitigated gall of that fuckin' retard reject! Are men really that damned stupid? Go to an escort service fool if you just want a piece of "discreet" black ass! I ain't nobody's "booty call" and I sure didn't put that on my profile under "My Hobbies and Interests"! Boy, that's why I don't like older men. This fool contacted the wrong sista and I see why no black women answered him. I would have to be the only one and get my feathers ruffeled. All I can say is that I'm glad he wasn't saying that nonsense on the phone or else I would have gone totally postal on his short, retired ass! "Sapphire" would have busted out because she's my alter ego just for pond scum like him!

I reiterate, that's why I like men younger than me. All these old fools with old hang ups! Always want to do things undercover. They know they like black booty but if they're so afraid of what someone else will think, suffer without!

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (and lungs, heart, etc)

I'm really astonished at how many Asian men smoke. In particular, Japanese men, who I think are the sexiest, seem to never be without a "cancer stick". Didn't they get the memo about the health risks of smoking? To make matters worse, I hear that Japan promotes smoking. Come on - that's taking it way too far! Doesn't the Japanese Health Ministry, or whatever it's called, let the populace know that this habit is life threatening/deadly? The Japanese are a fast forward, educated race of people. What don't they understand about this?

I saw a group of really cute Japanese tourists standing in front of PetSmart the other day. YES, I knew they were Japanese by their look. I can tell one Asian from another. Koreans look different from Japanese and Chinese look different from Koreans. I've studied this long and hard! lol Anyway, I'm coming out the doors with my cart of kitty litter and Fancy Feast and see these cutie-pies outside speaking in Japanese. I put on my best "Hot Mama Switch" and just as I get ready to say "Hi" in my sugary sweet voice, they all light up! What a bummer! They were all attractive BEFORE they stuck that thing in their mouths but afterwards, they all looked gross! Smoking is one thing I just won't compromise on. Not only does it look sickening, it smells awful and is bad for your health. WHAT is the allure to start with?

I can't even begin to think about getting romantic with a man who smokes. It's a total turn-off. Yet, I see soooo many Asian men puffing on those cancer sticks until it's depressing. They have their diet "down", what about this smoking thing?

I don't know why I should be so surprised. Americans have much more information about the health hazards of smoking thrown at them regularly and yet, large numbers of us still smoke. Having never smoked, I can't stand to even smell it, much less put something that gross in my mouth, inhale it into my body and then, go to the gym and exercise. What is that? I see so many guys at work do that. There must be a disconnect in their brains.

Oh well, maybe I will find that one-in-a-hundred Asian man that doesn't smoke and we can kiss until we pass out! lol

Money, Japan, Frustration!

I've been so lax about keeping up with this blog because my life has gotten so dreadfully busy this year. I don't know how people find the time to blog every day. I don't, literally, have time to do the "necessities of life", (go potty, etc) because there just aren't enough hours in the damned day! When I get home, I'm exhausted and then, it's time to hit the bed. Sigh..

My daughter is going to D.C. next month for a week with her class to study, "American History & Government". Why can't you do that in school, HERE ?, I wanted to know. She gave me her typical eye rolling, teeth sucking alter ego and calmly told me she didn't want to be the ONLY one not going. Oh, ok, so because you want to save face, I have to spring for a twenty-two hundred dollar trip so your behind can learn something across country that I'm paying those people in that private school to teach you anyway? I told her that if I'd known she was going to be such a pain in the ass, I'd have put her up for adoption! Yeah, right!, was her reply. Oh, well, I guess it's true when they say you get what you deserve. The joys of single parenthood.

On top of junior's demand for her trip to D.C. with new luggage mind you, plus lots of spending money for food and souvenirs, I'm having all kinds of problems trying to get my passport updated to go to Japan this August. Roadblocks everywhere and I may just wait until 2010. I can't, as Tina says, stand the rain! I'm tired of this red-tape BS and my so-called traveling companion changing her mind, to and fro, fro and to - make a damned decision! One thing I hate is adults with neither chick nor child who can't decide if they're going to do something! I'm just too big of a chicken to go that far alone. I always think about an emergency arising and there I'd be, a poor, helpless middle aged black woman with no help! Well, over exaggeration, but you know...

Getting sick or stranded in Asia is not on my list of things I want to do (although, if it's stranded with a hot Japanese guy....). Anyway, my "iffy" traveling companion, who's an attorney, single, no kids, makes good money (a lot longer than mine), is dragging her ass about going, after she said she would. What's up with that? Before I'd make a commitment like that, I'd think it over carefully, carefully! She'd better be glad I didn't spring for my airline ticket with her having all these "doubts" now. Can you say 187?

I've put out so much money this year. In January, all four of my cats came down with scabies. Those are the ugliest little beasts you'd ever want to see!!! I first noticed the kitten's ear was scratched raw one morning. I rushed her to the vet where I was calmly informed, after a scraping, that she had scabies. "WHAT?", I yelled at Dr. Kamal. "I thought only outside and shelter cats got scabies! All my cats are strictly indoor cats. How can this happen"? He proceeded to show me under the microscope and I almost fainted seeing those awful beasties crawling around on my beautiful kitten's head! Gross!!! Dr. Kamal said there must be a sick cat around the neighborhood. Sure enough, animal lover that I am, I used to (used to), sit a dish of dry food and clean water on my front stoop for the "feline community" on my street. I noticed one day that a rather, mangy, sickly looking cat was eating on the stoop and realized HE was the culprit! Poor thing was a pitiful sight and my cats, who patrol the screen door meowing and snarling at any cat that comes up on their stoop, fell victim. All it took was for one to get it and it was on! I have one girl and three boys who wrestle, bite and groom each other constantly. It had to happen.

So, she had to be quarantined for a month with weekly "lime dip" baths. Now, you know the worst, right? It had spread to my other three cats and all of them had to have those stinking baths and be quarantined! I felt like crap locking them behind a bedroom door for 4 weeks but I had to do it. My vet, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, gave me huge discounts but I still ended up paying him a small mint. Plus, the cats scratched the hell outta my carpet near the door, poor dears, wanting out. For pets who generally had the run of the house, they did NOT like being confined. But, they got used to it and accepted their fate, poor babes.

Then, I guess I love pain because I went and brought a new car. I'd had a bad accident in my G35 last April and every time I looked at that thang, I thought about that illegal bustin' the hell outta my car to the tune of almost 8k, dislocating 2 of my upper ribs in the front and not stopping!!! Add to that the hell I went thru with Allstate and I was done! So, the G35 had to go. Too many bad memories and let's face it, anytime a car has had a hard impact like that, it never runs the same. Time to move on.

So, Tokyo, I hope I get to see you this year and, if not, I know you'll be there. Money, I make it and I sure as hell spend it. Now, all I'm waiting for is the roof to leak or one of the major appliances to go on the blink. Sigh....

"Gohatto", A Film To Remember

So, in my quest to find more foreign films, in particular Asian ones, I ran across an absolute gem. I was browsing Netflix and came across a film named "Gohatto", or "Taboo", it's English name. This movie totally blew me away!

The story is about a young recruit (Ryuhei Matsuda, pictured) in the samurai militia named Kano Sozaburo who turns the place upside down with his beautiful, feminine face. He immediately becomes the "object of desire" by quite a few of his fellow samurai, including officers and, a fellow recruit named Toshiro (Tadanobu Asana, in a heartbreaking role).

Kano is a beautiful, young (18 years old) boy with good looks, and a mysterious manner. He loves being the center of attention and although he is beautiful, underneath lies a master manipulator and vicious killer.

He is given the assignment to execute a fellow samurai and carries it out with cool efficiency, prompting one of his superiors to comment to himself, "He must have killed before". Kano is a rich man's son and like today, rich sons and daughters are not likely to join the military. We all know only the poor go off to die and protect their country. So, when Captain Yamazaki asks him why a rich man's son joins the militia, his answer is chilling: "To have the right to kill". Oh, ok.

One of the men who desires him, a rather unattractive captain, finally seduces him at his home over sake and conversation. He gives in without much protest and later in the film, we see him laying passively as he is sodomized by the same captain, who eventually ends up murdered.

Meanwhile, Toshiro, who seems to genuinely care for him, is rebuffed time and again by Kano, playing his cruel game. Eventually, Kano is asked to murder Toshiro, who is suspected of killing one officer and attacking another under the cloak of darkness where his dagger is left, but not by him. The ending to this movie is chilling and to say much more will give it away but you must listen carefully to the end to find out what happens to Kano.

I was surprised to find out, after doing some background reading about this period and the Shogunate, that the super-masculine samurai had regular homosexual liasions. Don't know why I was so surprised, really. I suppose I had this image of these fearless warriors with sharp swords and steel nerves and NO, as they called it in the movie, "leanings" toward that! There really is nothing new under the sun, is there?

I'd recommend this movie unless you have a fear of watching any homoerotic scenes. The flick is so much more than that, though. It's beautifully acted, filmed and intriguing. I loved it so much I ordered it from Movies Unlimited the very next day for my personal film collection. Rent it. You won't be sorry.

WE'VE DONE IT! President Elect Obama!

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are headed to the White House! I am blessed to have witnessed this historic event.

GEORGE and LAURA, et al, pack your bags and get the hell out!!!!

America Votes 2008

So, today is THE Day! Come on, let's make history!! Let's put in a young. energetic, highly educated bi-racial man for our next prez! We are not ready for "McPain and Failin"! George Bush recycled is NOT what the American public needs!

I know I will be so nervous that I won't be able to sleep tonight. Hopefully, when I awake from my troubled sleep and shake my sleepyhead, our country will be on the road to hope again.

GOD BLESS AMERICA! I can't wait to see Obama's inauguration!!!

Yeah, I Got A Big "Booty", And?

So, it seems that a lot of the men I want (Asians) aren't really into big butts. But, that is a characeteristic of a black woman's body and we can lose all the weight we want but the boo-tay stays! Can you say Serena Williams? Even skinny ass women like Diana Ross got the booty. Rihanna got the booty. I could go on and on.

A black woman, no matter the rest of her body, has an ass. I always laugh when I hear the white media go on and on about Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez's ass, as though these are the first women they've ever seen with a protruding, round posterior. What about all those sisters in Hollywood, actors, singers, dancers? The white media can be so damned stupid and biased until it's not even funny! Even ignorant-ass sites like "Bossip", carry on about these non-black chicks like they invented an ass. (I hate Bossip and refuse to hit it anymore because they are very disrespectful to black females)!

One of the charming aspects of a black woman is her ass. When I see pictures of those African women carrying baskets on their heads, the first thing you notice about her body is that booty sticking out, rolling back and forth, as she walks. A proud walk. A booty that has produced a continent full of black children. I love my big booty and I don't try to hide it. Now, true, it's a bit larger than it was in the past (maybe I've been sitting on it a bit more than I should at this computer), but I, for the life of me, can't see it being FLAT! There is nothing uglier than seeing a woman in tight jeans with a flat ass. What the hell does she sit on? A woman's body should be soft and rounded. Hell, I'd rather have a flat chest than a flat ass! Fortunately for me, I have neither.

The booty is also a wonderful erogenous zone. Most women like their behinds kissed and stroked. If you don't, well there's always ONE odd ball in the group. It doesn't hurt when a man has a nice boo-tay too, as long as it's not too hairy. It's something kinda scary about a really hairy ass. Creeps me out. It's like being in bed with an ape. Same thing when he's got loads of hair on his back. Ugh!

Anyway, I really want Asian men to come and get it!
