Open Letter III

[MeezDiscreet]

to my family: let's not make the only time we get together be for a funeral. although i was so happy to see so many of you (and meet so many of you) that i haven't seen in years, i hate that it takes tradgedy to bring us together. as easy as we can convey the message of death, let us just as easy get together for a bbq, or holiday dinner, or just for the fun of it.

to kobe's wife: girl, that purple diamond aint enough to make up for what he did.

to mary j. blige: bring it back "my life" style please!! i know that your life is more positive now, but i know you can do it

to my neighbor: damn you. there are some things in life you can't control and that you just have to let go. i'm a grown woman and my name is the only one on the lease. when you pay my rent, i'll play my music at your desired level. if you hear a bass line every now and then, isn't it understandable. we live in close quarters dummy! you only a slab of cement away!

to that brotha who danced his azz off BY HIMSELF at the club: just do tha dang thang. don't worry about anybody laughing at you work up a sweat by yourself. you came by yourself and had fun by yourself and i had fun watching you have fun.

[Lady2000]

To the lady at work who talks about a whole lot of nothing Please stop coming up to me saying random things especially when just a few months ago you avoided me like the plague. Now I understand that you may be a little lonely but you are working a sister's nerves!

To whoever is in my parking space Please move YOUR vehicle to YOUR side of the parking lot. The construction is OVER and I am really tired of having to walk half way around my apartment because of your car!

To my cousins from the hood Please do not get upset with me because I don't call you every other day. I can count on ONE hand the number of times you have called me during the 4 years I have been at school and it's getting really annoying hearing you tell my mom that I don't call you enough. Maybe if you answered your phone instead of mistaking my phonecard for a BILL COLLECTOR, you would talk to me more often. Telephones work both ways, please learn how to use it more often and maybe I'll return the favor.

To all those who call my cell phone to talk about nothing Let's get this straight, since you are not sending in the check for my bill on a monthly basis, please do not call my phone and say nothing. Let it be important because time is money hon!

Whew! Glad I got that off my chest!

[nikki1920]

To the President that Ya'll "Elected": I could just KICK you for this lousy economy. It has kept me from working for five months now, dammit.

To the companies who won't hire me: your loss. nyah, nyah

To the company who is still deciding to hire me: PLEASE hurry up. I would LOVE to be a positive assest to your organization, and am eager to use your education benefits.. lol

To my lil girl: hurry home! Mommy misses you lots!

To my ex: lol. I am SO over you. Thanks for the lessons, though. I know exactly what I will NOT stand for in a boyfriend now.

To Kobe: I hope that chick was worth it.

[Rain Man]

To Governor Taft: Don't count on being in politics after 2006 because ever since you got re-elected all you did was raise taxes and double state related fees. Shoot, before too long, I won't be able to afford to live in this state no more. You're probably raising my property taxes as I type, as if $1800/year ain't enough for you!!

To my next door neighbor: I have HAD IT with your dang Rottweiler and him barking, snapping, and jumping at me while I am entering or leaving my house, with all of 4 feet of distance between me and the dog at any one time. Yes, you might be a fine 40-something sista but but don't take my kindness for weakness. The mess has been going on for 6 months and it's gonna stop, cause I called the subdivision homeowners association and filed a complaint against you and that dumb old dog. I hope the subdivision rules mandate that unfenced dangerous dogs are to have a 9MM slug to the head.

To T.J., Chris, Isha, Annette and the rest of the Singles Ministry: Thanx for the times of fellowship and ministry. I really do appreciate each and every one of yall.

To Ma: Thanks. I love you and appreciate everything, even though you may think I don't and we are two completely different people.

To My Roommate: If you don't make your friends clean up after themselves (especially the dishes after they cook), I may just have to get ghetto .

To The University of Michigan: Umm, where is that $40k a year and great job that you promised me I would get when I graduated, because I had a "Michigan Degree"? Is there a lawsuit for false advertisement???

To A Certain Person: We know how he is, so why are we still dealing with him and putting up with his BS?

To My "High School Friend": Do you really have to introduce us as your "High School Friends" or "Friends From High School" to everyone. I mean we still are suppose to be your friends, right? And BTW don't call me at 3am crying about how your boyfriend (whom you can't stand) said or acted a certain way towards you. Then talk about how you regret that you have put our friendship to the back b/c of being with him and then make up with his butt and pulled your MIA status again. It was forgivable at one point, but it happens to much. I don't have the time or patience for it anymore.

To Someone Who Was Suppose To Be A Friend: You have A LOT of nerve. I confided in you, stuck up for you when everyone at work said you were a snitch, listened to you cry about ole boy, etc., and this is the thanks I get. By hearing people say you said you werent my friend to being with, and having to hear all the trash you've said about me. Now it all comes together. Its funny also how you are just buddy buddy, best friends, with someone that just not two months ago, you were talking trash about. Hmm, wonder if she knows. But you both do have something in common, which seems to be talking trash about me. Jealously gets you nowhere. You must really don't have a life like you said to be as two-faced as this. But your true colors show to everyone, so no one is buying it. Remember what comes around, goes around. I'll see you in court to for my money.

To A Male In My Life: Its funny, because you've got many great qualities and potential, but you let your negatives out shine them. You need to keep it real with me and let me know whats up? How you really truely feel about me. I need to know if I need to move on. If so, we need to resolve some stuff and have closure. If not then you need to give me a damn good reason why I should stay and deal. I don't like that I have cried over situations and wondered why it seems I'm not good enough. I'm not with the play games thing. I don't like my emotions being played with and we've been at it too, too long for it to be just that. Yes, you can only do what I allow you to do to me, but still...So again, what comes around goes around. I have too much class (just regained it, cuz you know how certain situations can make you not yourself) to be petty and vindictive, but remember God doesn't like ugly. While things may be going good, You've got the Lex (even though its a '99 and not from a real Lexus dealer), a new job and a new house, things happen to people to make them think about how they are as a person and treat others. And truthfully its already starting to happen. Let me just end with this, not being conceited, but stating how it is, I am probably, no, I AM the best thing that could ever happen to you, and its sad that you would rather not see that. But its your loss and someone else's gain. You'll see that when its too late though.

BTW, despite what you may think, those new rims on that Lex are UGLY. And from what I was told they arent even the right size.

Yeah Yeah, too much drama in my life over the past 11 mos. Someone pray for me. Its just too bad I can't get this out. Easier said then done I guess. I needed this.

[blackerican]

To my cousin: I know that you're upset about getting pregnant in your jr. year of college. But, God does everything for a reason!!! Keep your head up!!!!

To my friend Hector: I'm sooooo happy that you finally got away from Tasha...she's crazy you know!!!! Now is the time for you to go on with your life & stop trying to Don Juan......I hope that the stab wounds heal soon.

To my GC Sisterfriends: Thank you for just being here...Love ya!!!!

[treblk]

To Evelyn and Sam: Thanks for being the best parents a girl could ask for. I know we've had our growing pains, but theres nothing more important to me then the both of you. Your my pride and joy and with out you both, I just don't know what I would do or where I would be. And Sam (my daddy thank so so much for the lawn mower, cuz my yard was looking horrible

[tnxbutterfly]

To my mom: I am so proud of you. I'm always proud of you. I know we don't always see eye to eye on the way I'm living,but trust me when I say I'm doing what I have to do to get where I need to be. Love you mommy

To B: I'm trying to keep my cool about my car. I know you've been having a hard time,but sometimes I feel like the arrangement we have just isn't working. I let you borrow the car out of the kindness of my heart and you just bring it back whenever. Sure you put gas in it and everything,but sometimes I feel like you take me for granted.

To JC: I am so glad you broke up with that Shanwa girl. I knew she was bad news from jump. But as your ex-girlfriend it wasn't my place to tell you without coming off all negative and jealous. I know we are best friends and we can talk about anything,but somethings are better left unsaid

p.s. I hope he's okay!!!

[RedefinedDiva]

To my sistadiva: Thank you for listening to me rant and rave about things going on! Thank you for offering me some sound advice. I appreciate it. You know that you can always count on me, even though we have never met.

To my best friend: Girl, things are gonna get better. There are birghter days on the horizon. You should know that I will be down for you through thick and thin. Girl, you just don't know that I go through a lot of things alone because I don't want you to bear my problems also. However, I am going to be OK and so will you. We can be the backbone for one another. 10 years and counting.....

To Big Head: When I got oyur e-mail, I almost had a heart attack! I had so much nervous energy that I had to work out! Do you know how often you are usually on my mind? I never expected you to write back. You have never left the back of my mind, even though all the time that I lost with LOSERS. We never spent much time together and there is no telling where each of our lives are headed, but I'll never lose touch again! I can't wait to call you like you asked because I want to know what those questions are that you have for me.... I have come questions for you, too. I want to call you right now, but I don't want to seem TOO anxious! You know how it is!

[Steeltrap]

To T.: Hope that your "on the outs" with your companion becomes permanent. She's a nice person, but she won't have your kid. Not OK.

To M. : If you are going to be with the man and you know if the man wants kids, you need to fish or cut bait.

[squirrely girl]

To my father - would you please stop telling me about every woman you date now that you're divorced.

To my mother - would you please stop asking me about every woman dad dates now that you're divorced. And, would you please stop the self pity routine.

To my job - what the hell is wrong with giving people raises??? And how do you call yourself a program?

To some of my coworkers - just because I don't bitch your your ass out doesn't mean I'm weak. I tend to "hostily ignore" people that I don't approve of or like. And, how can we expect to teach children if you, as staff, cannot properly construct a sentence.

To all companies that I do business with - why do y'all have to be such pains in the ass about changing my name now that I'm married?

To my "high school friends" - how did we get so different?

[FLKING]

To My Mom, I hope you get well soon and come home from the hospital as good as new. Your grandson misses his GRANNY dearly. I love you!

To A.N. Thank you in advance for your acts of kindness, your inspiration, and your no-nonsense attitude. I look forward to seeing you when I come to DC.

To A.D.P. Thanks for being silly and being able to put a smile on my face from 1200 plus miles away. You are still my 6'4" Sicilian Pooh Bear

To P.C. Now you know you are my Ace Boon Coon when we are at the gig...doing stuff we have no business. I missed you last week while you were on vacation. I will leave you next week to go to D.C. but you know I will be calling.

To my co-worker. I have purchased some no-doze cause you be killing me acting like you are clicking your mouse when in fact you are sound asleep. You need to learn to hold your neck still when you try to get you a nap. Discretion is the key pathna! If you were real about it...you would do like me and catch a couple of zzzz's in the bathroom for about 15 minutes

[brickhouse492]

To the female who sits to the right of me w/ the B.O.
- I know it's a medical condition but it's really bad. I hope you got the anonymous Bath & Body Works gift basket I sent you. Pay special attention to the Aromatherapy Bath Soak w/ Salt Crystals and good luck.

To my neighbor to the left of me
- First you wanted my # for some tax scam. No. Now U want to know my shoe size. Why? Look, I'm on to you. If I get robbed ...... Sweetie, I'm not the one. This is the only warning your gonna get!

To my secret crush
- You are so fine, you eat well and you have earned your degree. Such a great catch. Why don't you have a girl? Come to think of it, I've never seen you w/ a girl. Have U had any girls on your team or are you a switch hitter.

To SF and GLOs on GC
- Whats good really?

[dojo]

To my Mom - Thank you so much for all that you do. You are really appreciated, and yes, you are still cheap!

To F.K.- now you know how we get's down at the gig, all incognito and stuff, getting into all kinds of ish... it's ride or die from here on out ...love ya, gal!

To my manager at work - now you need to stop trippin' cause your team comes to me for the ish that they should be coming to you for . Just because you don't know what your people do, don't use me to find that out - DO SOME WORK!
