Are you scared to say you’re bi or something??
As I watched Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing, I was surprised to hear seemingly open bisexual real estate agent, Madison, refer to himself as a “gay” man. This is first time I’ve ever heard him refer to himself as gay verses bisexual…Why does that seem to happen… people that identify as bisexual sometimes have no problem casually saying they are gay, but they don’t casually say they’re straight? And if they’re bisexual by definition shouldn’t they? (lol)
Furthermore, it seems like the race card’s former one drop rule, has resurfaced as something like the one kiss rule.

This is how I feel.
It’s like I’ve dropped a priceless vase and every piece that I attempt to glue back together falls again into another dozen pieces and I’m back right where I started, only it’s gotten worse.
I wish I were talking about a vase though, but I’m not. I’m talking about my mother. I called her today to just talk. We aren’t close. She doesn’t live nearby. She’s manic depressive bipolar. For every six months of downer moods, there are maybe 8 days collective of upper ones.
I don’t call, she’s sad.
I call she’s sad and mad.
So I don’t call.
Time, time, time goes by. I want to call. I don’t. More time, time, time goes by. I call. I cross my fingers; I take a deep breath, hello?

I’m sitting here feeling three things: frustrated, intrigued, and questionable.
I’m frustrated became the guy I’m currently dating is an urber guy’s guy. We’re talking alpha male all the way. This is good in some ways because I have s short attention span, and beta males’ just plan do too much. He’s kind of like a mojito. He is sweet—not a bad boy or anything, but he’s manly enough that no bad boy guy is gonna call him whipped.
It’s just frustrating because he’s also a workaholic. But I dig that because I’m a perfectionist in the workplace myself. It’s these damn sport seasons that are killing me! I swear there is some game going on everything night…hahaha
On to the next topic…I’m intrigued because …

Blogger Melissa McEwan said it best in her posting today:
“I mean, last I checked, the furthest a biracial child could go in America was President.”
Which is worse? To say you’re not a racist (but totally act like one) or own up and just say what you are (no matter how crappy that may be)?
Today’s headline of the day came from Louisiana. Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell denied an interracial couple (white woman and a black man) a marriage ceremony. That’s been illegal pal since 1963! He claimed to be doing if for the children (they children they don’t even have planned yet!)… he believes that children of an interracial marriage will suffer socially.

Dr. Cassandra L. Joubert has a new book out entitled, Losing Control: Loving a Black Child with Bipolar Disorder. What first caught my attention in this book is part of Dr. Ira Glovinsky’s foreword:
“Pediatric bipolar disorder manifests itself similarly in the African-American population to the way it does in the Caucasian population. The disease has no cultural boundaries. However… if an African-American child manifested the same symptoms as a Caucasian child, he or she would receive a different diagnosis and a different treatment. This is the clear danger of ignoring cross-cultural commonalities.
