Dibble and Dabble

I apologize for the absence last week (I was in the midst f finals), this week I’m going to speak on four different topics briefly. Depending on responses I might go further in depth.

Is Barack Obama single-handedly bringing light-skinned men back? Are the old days of Chico Debarge dodging panties on stage coming back like Member’s Only jackets? As a light-skinned man myself, I don’t believe so, however it’s something to think about. Let’s face it, we’ve been on a smooth hiatus since at least 1989 (and I was 7 years old). I hope it does because I need some assistance.

Pretty faces are like kryptonite to most guys. Heck I’ve fallen victim to a pretty face a time or two. But as I grow older I’m understanding that beauty fades, and if you rely on a pretty face (this can go for men and women, I’ve been said I’m a member of the He-Man Women Haters Club), then it can only take you so far. There is always a prettier face or a more attractive person out there.

Is it just me, or is this season of the Real World probably the worst cast in the Real World history. Let me run it down, there is a recovering meth addict, recovering alcoholic and a racist, and the show is STILL not very interesting. I know we are only in the first couple of episodes, but come on Real World casting staff. You at least came with a sexy chick or two, and someone we love to hate.

So I guess this relates to the second topic, but what’s up with the glorified video chick. I’m seeing interviews, a lot of these women have college educations and seem to have heads on their shoulders. Now I don’t want to seem like the white person, who is surprised that black people are articulate, but you graduate from college to be a video vixen? What woman really broke into the business and became successful taking the video vixen path? Sex sells, but who’s paying?

Lol Obama and light skinned men, hmm not sure about that one. I think its just a matter of the season. Summer is your time to shine..I always say looks are what get you, personality is what keeps you. Beauty’s only skin deep (thank you Temptations)…I concur with the comment about the real world cast. Each year the show just keeps going down hill. MTV do better…My people perish from a lack of knowledge. All the books in the world can’t seem to provide some people with common sense. I want to be on TV for doing something with my life, not dropping it like it’s hop.
