"International Jugador"

I see YOU differently.
No I do not Speak another language but I UNDERSTOOD Exactly.

When YOU are Somewhere else YOU are YOURSELF
But when YOU are Here, Oh how Nice YOU Appear

Everyone Here sees YOU one way
What YOU show and what you say

YOU say its just a Character that You play when YOU are there
But I see it as a Snare (Enter If You DARE...)

Yeah I agree; sometimes I see too much
But Lastnight... Somewhere else... I seen just Enough

Sometimes I feel sorry for Mrs. Jugador
She has to know that YOU are a Whore

SHE is Not a dumb girl SHE Will find a Clue
And when SHE do SHE will definitely find YOU...

No Im Not mad because I Played my part
But I bow out so YOU are the sole reason for breaking HER heart

I must admit I was attracted to your Mind & thats what got me to that spot
Once I realized It was not about how much YOU had & how much I did not

I thought about how YOU PLAY the Ones who Look just like YOU
But go Home to a situation that I see as totally Tabu

I know YOU did not expect me to go this Deep
But I just want to make it Perfectly Clear that Im Not the Prey YOU seek

Do Not worry nobody knows but YOU & I
I just wanted this to be my Last Good-Bye

My Natural Hair Journey

I have been receiving Alot of questions and compliments on and about my hair. As you know I have been transitioning for about 8 1/2 mos but only two months without braids or weaves. I want to start first by saying, I am not a Natural Hair Expert; so what works for me may or may not work for you. I have really been doing my homework on this(& so should you if you are planning to go Natural) because I have been wearing perms longer than I have been wearing my own real natural hair. Every night I watch natural hair videos and tutorials on YouTube. These videos have really helped alot with different styles that I am currently wearing to work, with keeping my hair healthy during the transition process, and staying strong and positive during this process because if you are not ready you will easily go back to the "Creamy Crack" AKA PERM. I currently use Garnier Fructis "Wonder Waves" shampoo and Garnier Fructis "Triple Nutriton" with Olive, Avocado, & Shea conditioner.Sometime I use 100% Black Soap. I wash my hair at least once a week (Normally on the weekends). After I wash & condition my hair I either twist it in two stran twists or braid it in about six big breads going back. When I do my twist or braids I use the 100% Natural African Shea Butter on my Wet hair (I Do Not Blow Dry) unless I want a BIG Fro. The LESS Heat the Better. And that is basically it...

If you are planning on going natural; one thing I can say is be prepared MENTALLY for this journey. If you are not going to do the "BC" The Big Chop; which is cutting your hair all the way down to the new growth so that there is no more perm left' you may experience some breakage where the natural hair and the perm meet. Make sure that you keep your hair conditioned and try to trim it up every time you wash it until you cut out all of the perm. The transition process is very time consumming and you have to stay up on it to keep from looking like a WILD person. You will also get alot of questions and stares; not because you look crazy, but because people are actually curious. Also just realize that it is Hair and not who you are as a person. If you can get pass "Having Long STRAIGHT Hair is the ONLYway to look BEAUTIFUL" out of your Mind than you can do it. I am not saying that I would NEVER go back to wearing weaves again but I will NEVER get another perm because I have learned that I can get my natural hair just as straight without chemicals (YEAH) and I can get some of the same styles that I had when I had a perm.

Well that is all I really have on My Natural Hair Journey & I will be posting some pics later to my page on my progress. Below I have posted a link by BlackOnyx77 one of the videos that I have watched to keep me motivated during my transition. Hope this was helpful... Smooches ;)

Some Morning Inspiration... Inspired by my Very First Follower Wendie

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Alternative Minimum Tax

AMT. An IRS mechanism created to ensure that high-income individuals, corporations, trusts, and estates pay at least some minimum amount of tax, regardless of deductions, credits or exemptions. It operates by adding certain tax-preference items back into adjusted gross income. While it was once only important for a small number of high-income individuals who made extensive use of tax shelters and deductions, more and more people are being affected by it. The AMT is triggered when there are large numbers of personal exemptions on state and local taxes paid, large numbers of miscellaneous itemized deductions or medical expenses, or by Incentive Stock Option (ISO) plans.
