Episode 4: Burn It Up

Episode 5: Bang, Bang Goes the Hobby

Episode 6: Fix It Yourself

I know what you all are wondering. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO SINBAD’S SHOW?!

Well, I did some investigative work and I went and found out the answer. Okay…. I went straight to Sinbad and asked….lol. I asked Sinbad if I missed something, and basically…what happened to the show. He informed me that I was not going crazy, I didn’t miss any thing. The show is merely waiting on the news that will tell them whether they have been renewed or not. Basically….they are waiting on the station’s powers that Be to allow them back on the air.

I don’t know about you…. but I WANT THE SHOW BACK ON THE AIR!!!! To say that I was ecstatic to see Sinbad, period, back on television was too much for me to handle….seeing his entire family was enough to make me clear my schedule to sit and watch it when I should have been in bed asleep. And I know what you are thinking, I just want to see Royce back on the air, but TRUST ME……that is true. But I want to see the entire family back on. It is as if they are teasing me with the episodes they graced us with and then they took it away.

So, if you want to see Sinbad:It’s Just Family back on the air….. hit up the survey below…leave a comment. I will make sure that Sinbad see’s it and try to get the people who decide that the show comes back on see’s it too. Hell, if it can work for The Game we can do it for Sinbad. So…..let’s get to work. Thanks.

SIncerely,

Episode 5: Bang, Bang Goes the Hobby

So, been missing in action, trying to get my health back. But you know what they say, Laughter is the best medicine. LEt’s go!

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, #LaughDamnIt

Okay, so did SInbad know ahead of time that he would be coming on after The Braxtons? Because he just mentioned it in is opening monologue…..creepy! lol.  

LMAO!!! Sinbad said, You cant plan when you work with family members. True. And I HOPE that the way that Paige walked away from her mother in the parking lot during this opening scene was scripted because that was so rude and disrepestful. I know that she was raised better.

Man, his picture at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston is HUGE!!! lol. Sinbad looks so flywhen he has his glasses and hat on. Seeeeeexy! I wonder how much that announcer got paid just to announce Sinbad…lol.

I’m still trying to figure out what the big deal is about Royce vs. Sinbad and this guesthouse.

Awwwww, Paide telling her father hose much she appreciates him is soooo precious. LMAO!!! Sinbad fell asleep on her.

LMAO!!! Sinbad sitting up on the couch almost made me hurt myself…lol.

Waaaaaaait! Sinbad gave Royce the MASTER bedroom at the old house?!!!!! And the story that Royce explain what happened to the showerhead in the guesthouse cracked me up! lol.  And then Sinbad locked him in the bathroom for 2.5 minutes!!! lmao!!! And Royce stayed!!! lmao! I’m done! hahahahahahahahahaahahah!

Wait… so people can get paid to be a Social Networker?!!!!! Can I sign up?!!!! I would SOOOO become a millionaire off of that job. Wow….who knew! I personally dont think that what Paige said about the business cards was disrespectful to Meredith. I just think that Meredith was embarrassed by it and that is where the offense came from. Also, woman… you could hit up Vista Print for a thousand business cards for $50….lol. Check that out for a budget plan, right. So I knew I was seeing things with that opening snippet of this scene.

Wait… was the girl on the beach texting and biking? Really? Is there not a law against that? lmao

Okay, soooo I figured it out. 90 percent of Sinbad’s show is off the cuff and 10 percent is scripted. For instance, this hardware store scene with the lady and the “plumbing ripoff” scenario. Scripted!

But all in all, I really do love this show! I pray it comes back for a second season because I look forward to my daily dose of Sinbad and his family.

SIncerely,

Episode 4: Burn It Up

Okay, so I was sick yesterday when this came on and stayed home from work to get better… so pardon me for this being late. I promise you I am trying to get better.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, #LaughDamnIt

Okay. I want a silent drumset like Sinbad has. Actually… I want a way to silence my Sax so I can play it in the house without annoying my roomie. My sax would echo through our wholehouse and down the driveway.

But I do agree with Sinbad saying that you need to have a hobby. I ot angry this past year when I wasnt performing poetry. I need to get back ot being happy. So, yes, Meredith needs to go find a hobby.

It is soooo random when Sinbad walks up and starts talking to the camera. And he was one consonant away from NOT saying Get the FUNK out…lol.

WOW!!!!! Meredith’s firned, Karla, can she bemy friend? I want to go shoot up some stuff at the gun range. lol.I feel some kind of way about karla walking in stilettos in the middle of the dessert…lol. Poor Meredith looks like she was going to drop the gun a couple oftimes. And when she turns around to look back at them… I would have ducked because she wasnt holding that gun right…lol. But I am sooo proud of her and happy that she is happy. You can tell she is having fun and she is lighting up while she is talking about it. YOU GO, MEREDITH!!!

Sidebar:  Meredith and Karla look so young!!!! What are they doing?! Is it the guns?

Okay, as sexy as Royce is…. I remember his age every time he asks Sinbad for advice…lol. And that is not a bad thing, it just keeps me free of stalking charges. It just lets me know that he didnt think this whole ” Travel to Thailand and fight people who have been trained since the testies to kill people” idea. 

And yeh, I wonder how scared Sinbad was when he realized that Meredith took up shooting….lol. LMAO!!! He said ” remind me not to thank her” . hahahahahahahaha. Too funny!!!! Sinbad said that he now knows where the violence comes fromin this family….lol.  “Turned on & scared” hahahahahah This man is a nut!! The two of them taking the shooting range paper upstairs to the bedroom is priceless!!! And I think I peed myself when he went upstairs and theymade the sound effect of being shot and he yelled out! lol.

Damn, Master Sayed just flipped it on Royce….lol. “You never showed mehow to do that!”lmao! WasRoycerunning at one point? lmao!!! And I dont want to say it….buuuuuuuut scripted. HOT…but scripted.

Ummmm…. I am worried about Meredith in this gun shop right now…lol. I LOVE HER! DId SInbad just ask the gun shop guy if they had a Anti-husband lock on it…lol LMAO!!! Royce said that Meredith cant see…lmao!!!! This family cracks me up! Paige said she was scared to say no to her mother’s getting a gun….lol.

Yes, I too will die reaching for something.

Wait… is that a purple tablet? I want one like Paige.

AWESOME!! Trapeze act? Truth be told… I couldnt do it. I would just have to be scared….lol. Watching Mereidth squatting but not jumping off the trapeze ledge is enough to make me hurt myself.  LMAO!!!!!! She just hung on and didnt let go….lmao! I cant take it!!!! Sinbad did it like a pro! And then he quotes Hamlet…lol… Get thee to a trapeze!

I love how Paige and Royce working together. Even how they play off of one another in the side interviews is hilarious and rare.

I LOVE PAIGE’S VOICE!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! Not bring the girlfriend, the one you dont have….lol. Wait, who is THIS CHICK that Royce brought with him?!!!!!! Is THIS how I have to find out that he is cheating on me?!!! I’m crushed. Damn near crying……well, that’s why you got your butt whooped by Master Sayed! LMAO!!! Paige’s face when introduced to Nicole had me dying laughing.

LMAO!!!! Why is Sinbad called Memphis Red…lmao!!!! I am dying laughing!!!!! Oh this should be put on Youtube…lol. The split screen…smdh…hahahahaha. Wait! Sugar in the grits?

Cant wait til next week! Let’s go!

In short…. I’m ready to laugh at Sinbad,  envy Paige’s clothing, admire Meredith , and drool over Royce.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, #LaughDamnIt

Okay, sooooo I was too busy watching the beginning of this episode to be inspired to write about it. Sooooo they are not cleaning bathrooms and going shopping for a new grill. YIPEE!!!

Wait… there is a place called Barbeque Galore?!!! I want to go there.

LMAO!!!!!!!!! Did he just do the man card speech?! hahahahahaha *rewind*

Okay, Paige finding the snake…. NOT SCRIPTED!!! I thought I saw her heart beat her body back in the house…lol.  And I LOVE how Royce did the slow, cool man jog away from the snake! He started off in a fast sprint and then remembered he had a rep to protect and then slowed it down. hahahaha He even bit his lip just like Sinbad…lmao!!! He lost some cool points on that one…hahahahahahahahahaha. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! Sinbad took off in a face hustle like he had Royce’s knees….lmao! I never saw Sinbad move that fast in my life…lmao! OUCH!!! Cramp in my side!!!! OUCH!!! lmao!!!! Royce took off running after they put the snake in the bag! hahahahah.

Sidebar: When did it become okay to capture a snake on your own? What? I’m just saying.

-” You killin me Sinbad”

– “Yeh, but you aint dead yet!”

LMAO!!! Sinbad is haggling this dude so hard that my side still hurts from the snake scene.

*Yummy* Penuches sound sooooo good! I would make some penuches, but then that would go against all of this work that I have put into exercising the past two days.

LMAO!! So why did Sinbad say, “When Royce becomes a husband. Oh, God”? Can’t the man be betrothed to me!!!!?

CHEATER!!! Paige has just sabotaged her mother’s Penuche batch! CHEATER!

LMAO!!! Royce and his double complimenting cracks me up!!!

LMAO!!!! The dude with like 8 burgers between one bun! lmao! He told Sinbad, “Lucky I didnt get six”lmao!

Sinbad’s mother, Louise, is still BEAUTIFUL!!! She looks just the way that she did in his comedy special.  Rev. Adkins may want to back away from the grill before Sinbad pulls a Pepsi on him.

LMAO!!! Sinbad said the ribs jumped over the back of the grill because it wasnt dead…lmao!!!

*Yummy* Royce in a red shirt….again.

Wait?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Monty is back? When did Monty come back? I thought that they broke up. Not saying that I want them to * side eye* but I would have remembered when his fine behind came back.

WHO IS THE FINE DUDE WITH THE HAT ON THE BASS/GUITAR NEXT TO SINBAD?!!!!!

This was great to see his friends and family with him. I loved it!

Episode 1: It’s Just Family

Episode 2: Funny Money

So, last week I loved the show and I still love the show….but I caught some discrepancies and had to call them out. So I recognized Willie from BET’s College Hill and the girl he was with was suppose to be his wife. Well……it is an entire week later and the thread just keeps on unraveling. The girl who was with Willie portraying his wife was named Cecily. As luck would have it… I am watching Elgin Charles’ show onVh1 called Beverly Hills Fabulous when in walks this woman named Cecily. SMDH. I was staring at her like, where do I know her from? Her face looks oddly familiar. And then Sean, the hairstylist says, “My client, Cecily, is a matchmaker.” DING! Woman, weren’t you on Sinbad’s show It’s Just Family  last week? Damn, she gets around! But I can’t knock her hustle…just need them to spread out their reality show appearances more than they are currently exercising.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, #LaughDamnIt

Hmmmm… just watched the intro. I wonder what size Paige wears? Because I want to become a shoe buddy and borrow her shoes. They are always so cute!!!!

Okay, soooo Scott, Sinbad’s agent….hmmm. So, do all actors have to get a physical in order to be considered to work? Then WTF kind of physical did Charlie Sheen have to take? lmao!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Scott asked if Sinbad wanted a male or a female physician to come and check him for a physical and Sinbad replied, “It doesn’t matter; female.” lmao!!! Classic! And Sinbad told the physician to lie to his family about his blood preassure…lmao! But in all honesty, I need to look more into my own blood pressure.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Sinbad said, “Since this is a woman’s network, I think that I should get a pap smear on a regular basis……even though I dont even have a pap.” LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where was this man found?!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna get fired!!! I think that was the joke of the century!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahah!

I’m about to go to the grocery store in just a minute…. they are making me feel bad!!! *eats Jelly Belly*

Wait? There is a HOME prostate check? Yes, I too would be mortified like Paige if my father asked me to help him with a home prostate exam. lmao! Sinbad asked them to look at his fingernails and asked if he could hurt himself. lmao!!! LMAO!! Meredith is hilarious during this whole thing as well. The whole ” lubricate your area” conversation is enough to get me fired.  LMAO!!! The conversation with Sinbad saying he can’t find it…. smdh! LMAO!!! I’m done.. I can’t laugh any harder…lmao!

Ummmmmm I’m trying to remain holy while I watch Royce beat this dude up… but forgive me Father, for I continue to sin. *rewinds* Yep, still sinning.In all honesty, he is really good at this martial arts and combat execution. I wonder if he needs a combat partner. *Raises hand and falls on mat*

Sidebar:  I wonder how many track suits does Sinbad own?

And Royce is even sexier without the glasses…..correction….a different kind of sexy. 

WOW! This acupuncturist has Sinbad’s face looking like dude off of Hell Raiser….that was the movie with the dude with all of the needles in his face, right? And the scene where the chiropractor is adjusting his spine cracks me up. It looks like we walked on a Cinemax late night special called Sinbad, Paulo & a chiro table. lol.

LMAO!!!! Sinbad said that the secret to healthy eating as you get older is “If it tastes good, spit it out” lmao! I love this man.

Wait….. chef Same Bell walked into the room and I damn near forgot about Royce until they zoomed in on him eating an apple on the counter. The chef is one fine piece of beautiful man candy. AND he can cook!!!!!!!!!!!!! Royce, honey…. I don’t think that you and I are working out. I think we need some time apart… at least to the end of this chef’s segment and then we can try to work out our difference.

Man, when Chef Bell threw away all of that food… my inner fat chick cried. I think I will have to eat a chicken wing in honor of all that wasted food…lol.

LMAO! The body builder prayer…lmao!

I LOVE watching Meredith actually keep up with Regina the fitness trainer.  I want to be fit like Meredith when get to be her age…..whatever it is because I can’t tell… she looks amazing. Remember people, black doesn’t crack! But Sinbad cracked me up when he said ” don’t let the kids know we hurt” as they were leaving to hip hop class…lol.

Yeh…. this show is a keeper. You laugh, you learn, and you witness a family. I read a caption earlier where someone called Sinbad’s family the New Cosby Show. I have to agree.So thank you for making us laugh….laughter is good for your health too.

SIncerely,

Episode 1: It’s Just Family

        So, Last week was the BEST blog week in the history of me blogging. Yes, you read that correctly and no, I am not exaggerating. Two things happened:

        1. My blog about Sinbad was the highest read blog out of any of my blogs to date. Yes, 312 people read that one blog in one day! That blog is still the top read blog in the days following its post. The people have spoken….Sinbad is the best.

        2. I tweeted Sinbad ( hopefully it was him and not an assistant) and causally mentioned my blog, provided a link, and preceeded with the words “Check this out” . lol. Well, HE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not lying to you.

        Sorry for the blury pic, but I was trying to take a pic on the sneak tip. Yes, I will cherish this til the day that I die. I dont think that you fully understand what has occurred here. One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE COMEDIANS…… CALLED ME FUNNY! *faints*

        lol. Okay, all drama aside, I really am touched. Whether he meant I was literally funny or figureatively, I dont give a flying Sarah Palin with painted on crosshairs…he called me funny! It does something to me. I really did take those words to heart, and I could be taking it too far, and blowing it all out of proportion… but you’re just jealous he didnt call you funny. *sticks out tongue* Okay…. I guess I can move on to another topic. I just had to share that with the entire blog world. *Sigh* Again, I can die happy.

        Now, if the rest of the world is ready to see Sinbad and his family……sit back and get ready. And if the rest of the    ladies are ready for Royce, like I am…..bring out the fans to fan yourself.  FYI. I hope to hear Paige sing this episode. I guess I could just go to her website that was mentioned in the last episode, hmmm.  What was it again? *Googles* JustPaige.com.

        Okay, first off… I envy tall women who can look beautiful and rock confidence. Most of the times they tell us we have to starve ourselves in order to be tall and beautiful… but Paige is definitely working this pic on the banner of her website. And the one with her hair swooped back ( bio page) with the white spousal abuse top on, that is a Cover Girl ad if I ever saw one!  YOU BETTER WORK IT, WOMAN! And yes, you read correctly, spousal abuse shirt (it is my attempt at being politically correct. I dont believe in beating just your wives.. I believe in equality when it comes to  domestic abuse attire. P.S. These are just jokes, people). Now, as I sit here listening to Sick N’ Tired off her new album Imperfect Me, I am trying to figure out who she sounds like… and I’ve got nothing. I dont think that is a bad thing, I think that is a great thing… totally original. So far I am feeling Need You To Love Me, I Don’t Know, & Friend.  And while I am at it, Silly Girl’s intro is killing me softly. Look At Me Now, no relation to Chris Brown’s Version, may be my new anthem…..if only I could hear more of the song…but the 5 second snippet was cool. My only problem with the site is that the music section gives too much of the intro music and not enough Paige. I mean, Is It Me never even got to her voice. Sometimes the voice & chorus are what makes us decide if we want to buy the album. SO just a little bit and maybe even the chorus as a sample. But who am I, right? Just saying.

Oh yeh…. right…. the show.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, #LaughDamnIt!

        In the famous words of Will Smith’s character Hancock, “I’ve been drinking, Bitch”. So yeh, I straight up missed the first half of this. So I will have to watch this half and then go back and watch the first half.*Rewind sound effects*

        Sinbad is having a yard sale? I mean, he did have a ton of stuff, but it would only be fair for the entire HOUSE to have a yard sale…lol. Question: Why call it a yard sale if the yard itself never gets sold? What? Dont judge me! I think that it is a legitimate question.

LMAO!!! The afro sheen blowout kit! lmao!!!! Where do they even sell that any more? hahahahahaha

        OUCH!!! I need to wear Depends while watching this show. It should be a crime to pee on yourself when you laugh so hard.  But the way that Sinbad said BB King‘s wife would get shot if she put Lucille out at a yard sale….lmao! I would wear my pee pants out in the street proudly if someone laughed as hard as I did and wanted to share our urinary issues with the world…lol. Just call me Pissy Pants Deep! lmao *POW*

        LMAO! And the way Meredith hi-jacked her clothes back from the yard sale hurt me, too. I may have a weak bladder because this show cant be this funny. She told the lady who wanted to buy her jackets to let it go and to follow Sinbad…lol.

And Paige sold Sinbad! lmao! That was funny.

        LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sinbad has a “new” knee! lmao! Who says that.?Wow… 2 knee replacements. My knee is tingling just hearing that. LMAO! And the camera men are hilarious!!!! He said their cue to leave was when he kissed his wife goodnight & it was freaky to have them there and he was about to test what they were made of. Hell, he may want to try them…that’s how we all know Kim Kardashian…but I dont think that Meredith would be down with that. Call me a psychic….but I’ve got a good feeling that it wouldnt go down like that…lmao

        HOLD UP!!!!!  Okay… if I thought that this show was scripted last week…I know for a damn fact it is scripted this week!!!!! So, the fan that won a dinner date with his wife, Cecily, and Sinbad is named WIllie. Take a trip with me, will ya. Now, as an avid television watcher, I remember a BET reality series called College Hill…and one of those season they were in the Caribbean. Well, you guessed it…Willie was one of the dudes from Cali who was on that season. Yuo remember the season… the one where teh spoiled Cali girl bussed Vaness, the Caribbean girl, in her forehead with a 4inch heel. Remember, he was the only dude who didnt have a girl in the house. He was trying to compete with Chidi for Vanessa? And then a year or two after the show ended he was in Scary Movie or some other parody movie. Yeh, all that to say….how in the hell did your daughter sell you to people that we already know in the industry who dont even live in your same damn neighborhood? *Tamar lip pout to the side* (yes, that was a Braxton reference). But…. scripted or not… I love the show. Just dont play with my level of intelligence. Don’t worry… I wont tell anyone what I know….lol. But Willie’s afro is ten times smaller. And now he is married?….hmmmm.Well, congrats. He wasnt able to get a woman on the show, but he got one in real life…lol. And I see he still likes the light skinned women.

        Okay, so did Willie really just ask to be on the road with Sinbad? Umm… Sinbad called me funny and you dont see me trying to headline his next show…lmao. Okay, really Cecily…did you just say that this was your anniversary? *Blank stare* *Side eye* And this joke that Willie told flopped so hard. And then they are pretending to fight in front of us….I feel punked. Sinbad just punked us all. We all thought that this was a reality TV show. Sinbad did this to prove a point.  You want to know why I KNOW it is off…because the editing people fudged up and had a scene of her going off on him with her jacket on…then two scenes later she is leaving and comes back for her coat. Y’all KNOW I knit pick small stuff like that for a living. Again, dont test my level of inteligence~~~ This is a reality sitcom. Yep, Sinbad has invented a new genre of television. I coined it first, so I want my 15%!

        Wait… Royce gets a brand new car? I am trying to figure this out……y’all had a yard sale and now Royce gets a car? Okay.. yeh, he is fine…but a new car. And then an F150? I have an Expedition, so I am semi-partial here….but why an F150? Is he planning on lugging things around in the back? But, I guess you like what you like. And yes, Sinbad, I know what cars cost these days… I paid for mine in full off the lot…. WOWZERS! What a price tag. I could have put a down payment on a house with that kind of money…lmao.LAWD! Did Sinbad just pull out the President’s Fiscal Budget in a Glad ziplock bag? lmao!!! If that isn’t hood rich, I have no clue what is. lmao! Let me find out Sinbad has street cred…lol.

        Okay, so, I love the dresses that Paige is picking out. I mean,  like I said above, I love the fact that she is tall and beautiful. But did Paige just say that Royce get cars & she cant get a dress?! Really?! WOW! Talk about being the favored kid. But I wonder where her performances are. I love the outfit that she finally settled on. It was as if I asked for this episode this morning and the universe gave it to me. I mean really, didn’t I ask for Paige to sing this episode? Yeh, I am psychic….lol. I wonder what song this is.  YES,!!!!!!!! Sick N’ Tired!!!! I told you that I like this song! Paige’s voice rocks. Yes… I want to download this as soon as I get back to my own laptop.  My new anthem…….cant say what I want to say because the person that I want to sing this song too… I’m using his computer…lmao! Just kidding….to an extent…lol.

        Wait!lmao! Did Sinbad say ” I’ve never lived large; I’ve lived medium” lmao! And IRS still came and got his stuff…lmao! No judgement, just saying. LMAO! I’m going to Sinbad’s house to borrow some software. lol. Damn, Sinbad is 54?!!!! I’m getting old as hell!

        And I am really, really, really trying to listen to this entire “family pulling together in a crisis” speech, but I cannot help but stare at Royce through this whole thing. I may wish to stop drooling over this handsome piece of man candy because I dont want Sinbad to use me as a prime example of a “scrimmage woman”. But Jesus…if I was 8 years younger… I would kidnap him on his way to class. lol.

        LMAO!!! What is going on with this end scene? lol. He really did not just ask who let him in his house…lol. This is why I love SInbad. Funny.

Next Week: I believe what Sinbad said… he said that he doesn’t have to be in shape because his stunt guy has to be.lol. I need a life stunt double. Hmmm… next week is going to be funny. I cant wait.

200 Men Said….Real Men Cry!

In 200 Men Said.... on 18 April 2011 at 10:38 am

        After thinking about writing a blog about Eric Benet’s song Sometimes I Cry, I thought to ask my 200 men the very question that the song brings forth. I mean, after all…. it is so taboo for a man to cry in public. That CANNOT be healthy. I really want to find the very first father who turned to his son and told him to stop crying and punch him in the throat. Well, now that I think about it…. I think a spirit literally just came and smacked ME in the face. Was this something deemed a living legend from slavery? Was this an ancestral chain that has yet to be broken?

        I am writing this on February 16th, 2011, and I have no clue when I will post it, but in the midst of Black History Month one has to ask if men not crying stems from slavery. Now I have seen my father cry several times and I think that was so healthy. I have also spoken with one of my brothers about how he cried after an incident. Yet, to see a person that I am in a relationship cry is harder to do than running up and hugging the Queen of England! It’s as if the very gender that needs to release from all of the burdens and stress that they are expected to carry are the very ones who have become socially banned from doing so. But was this rooted in a slave father telling a son not to cry before an overseer, or an elder telling Kunta not to cry while being whipped as not to show a sign of weakness or fear? Did this get passed through the blood to the civil rights age where blacks didn’t cry in front of Bull O’Connor and his water hoses? Or instilled in the students who sat at the lunch counters as the were saturated with hate? And did it carry into the blood of the many men who were castrated and became strange fruit that decorated the roadsides of many southern towns? If so, what purpose does it have today?

So I asked my 200 Men:

Some people think that a man crying is a sign of weakness. Are you afraid to cry in front of people? If so, why or why not?

And they came back with these responses:

  • ”DUKE” BANNER:  When my heart aches, or I’m very sad, it really doesnt matter where I am; I’m not ashamed. 
  • Lateef25:  I’m not going to judge people for crying, but I’ve never had a reason , since I was young, to cry. 
  •  Kycajrome L: I say it depends on what the man is crying about…lol But if a man is emotionally in touch with his feelings then that’s pretty healthy emotionally. Then the problem or question is , are the other’s around him mature enough to handle it [his crying].
  •  Mark D: No, I don’t think there is anything wrong with crying in front of people . We are all human beings, and not heartless animals!
  • CHRIST- O:  It’s not a problem for me, because I know who I am. And no one’s opinion of one aspect of my life will make me change my whole lifestyle.
  • DA FLY GUY: CRYING IS A SIGN OF MATURITY!
  •  Jesse (TEAM MARK CASH 4 EVER ): I’m not afraid to cry in front of people. It’s not a sign of weakness but a sign of being human.
  • DSMILEY1:  I’m not afraid because I have done it before. Real men cry to show emotion!
  • on the rocks…:If a man cries in front of others, usually there’s a very valid reason. I can’t see any reason for a man to be all overly emotional over most things..like movies and women and graduations and such [2Deep: Did this nut just say women…. lmao!!! Y’all see why I love their honesty so much..lol]
  • Allen Ozark: No, but unfortunately I was born without tear ducts. [2Deep:  I can’t tell if he is telling the truth or if that is even medically possible….lol]
  • Kevin R: I’m not [afraid], because I know how strong of a man I am.
  • Carlos V: No, I think it’s fine for a man to cry.
  • rroyallty:  I think if he is running around crying everyday, all the time..its a problem. But if there is a significant reason and you’re around a select few..let it out or you will snap
  •  godschild 1111870: My ex made me cry too much; not happening any more.
  •  Code Name Bigsexy:  No, I would cry if I could not help it. lol. And I get mad when I cry. So I get mean; n one better think or say anything [to me].  ©☛Anthony☚©: LOL. It’s not bad to cry.
  • Nigi “Pistol Star” Pu Yi: No and yes. I’ll cry, but not for long, and then I’ll play it off. Because men aren’t suppose to show that much emotion. And it’s because emotion distorts rational thinking.         
  • Jerome P: Although I dont do it often, I’m man enough to cry. It’s very important to release feelings.Thats why jails are over crowded now.
  • Rated R Superstar: Well, a man crying doesnt make you a weak man, that’s a strong man. We’re all human, and we all feel the same pain…
  •  DON CUE: No, I’ve lost too many loved ones to care what other people think!
  •  LAW.. DA ROC BOYZ:  It all depends on what he’s crying about. Personally, I don’t like to cry, but hey, im human so it happens.
  •  Danny P: I’m not afraid to, but yeah it is embarrassing. Because our society still trains men to think it’s not ok. Sure, we talk like it’s ok, like it’s what we all want, but it’s not really. That’s my experience anyway.
  •  BIG SEKZI: Nope, because I’m very confident and secure with myself
  •  Sensual Nupe: No, I’m not. It really depends on the situation. It takes a strong man to show his emotions. If I just lost a family member or a close friend, I will cry and I don’t care whose around.
  •  www. twitter. com/kingdomgate_ ent: Tears of Joy are the only tears you will see me cry. I don’t do emotional tears anymore.
  • Prestige “The One And Only”: Definitely not afraid but I don’t do it. It’s not a sign of weakness. People just see it that way as if that individual is weak at that moment. For me, I feel stronger when I cry, if I’m crying in front of people it most likely means “Stand the hell by”.
  •  6’5 & NICE WIT IT: Put it like this, one day you will ’cause tears cant stay inside forever
  • James M: A man crying is not a sign of weakness, but if he’s at the movies crying then that’s a different story. I have cried in front of people and it didn’t make me weak.
  • Aries Brotha: I’m not afraid to cry in front of people, but I’m only comfortable showing that side of myself with close friends and family. Lame as it sounds, my mom taught me to be free with my emotions, and my dad told me Real Men don’t ever cry. I found my own way.
  • !!!!! A !!!!!!James L: Heck ,I’m crying now! lol! I think a man who’s in tune with his feelings is a true man and real to life. There are some happy times and sad times that makes us cry and only robots and the dead don’t cry..

 

And as usual I must have a FAVORITE comment, and all though I have several …. I choose:

  • Mr. Mayor**DARKSTARZ INC PREZ**: Worrying about what people think is a sign of weakness… Your feelings are your only true form of strength at times. How you fight through hurt, how love can make you feel invincible and how something may move you to tears and still be a man. …..THAT IS STRONG!

And my most revealing comments, and one of the reasons I wanted to write this blog ,came from:

  • James F:  Yes, I think it’s weakness. A man should always dominate his emotion and not be a prisoner of them. I’m not afraid to cry, but I’m just not going to cry in front of people. Like, if someone dies or someone I cared about died, I won’t show that emotion openly. If I cry it’s gonna be by myself. The reason for that, my father always told me “stop crying. You’re a big boy” when I was younger. Plus, the environment that I grew up in…. you couldnt cry. That was so-called being “Soft” or “a punk”. You would be a target. You couldn’t be a sheep around wolves or they would eat you alive.

       I have witnessed a guy lose his mother, a football player break his leg, and a DC teen being shot and still ALL of them refused to cry in the presence of others. IN NO WAY IS THIS HEALTHY!!! I think that these are perfectly excusable moments where a man could cry in front of others and people would understand and keep it moving. Yet even in movies like Menace to Society they joke on the men who cry when they are being shot should they survive. Or in Cadillac Records where Muddy Waters runs up the stairs and can be hard crying audibly but wouldn’t cry in front of his wife.  This is where I am glad that I am not a man. Because sometimes this world gets too much to bear and you should be allowed to release everything that you hold inside. Now I’m not saying that a man should cry when he stumps his foot, because NO ONE should cry that easily, but it is okay to cry sometimes in public. But as James F pointed out, his environment wouldn’t allow him to cry; it became a method of survival. But I think it was a method by default because those who would have picked on him needed an outlet and since they couldn’t cry, they would have picked on those who felt they needed to and actually did. So in actuality they would have picked on those brave enough to express their true emotions. But as shown, in most cases kids were too afraid to or told by parents not to because they were “big boys”.

        I think we should stop putting a gender on crying and rather start putting a situation on crying. For example, if a child is upset about dropping their ice cream cone, we shouldnt say “Stop crying. Boys don’t cry over dropping an ice cream cone” but rather we should say “It’s just an ice cream cone. So stop crying.” This way people will begin to express their feelings better. Because much like how there are gateway drugs, tears are the gateway emotion.  You cry when you are happy, sad, mad, confused, upset, and LMAO-ing.  SO if you tell a boy/man that he can’t cry you are taking away the gateway to about 90 percent of his emotional expressions. So express to your sons when it is healthy to cry and when it is okay to cry. Also, that it is okay to cry in front of people. We’re all human…we’ve all cried at some point in our lives. So its okay for you to cry too. And if anyone has a problem with it…. tell them to come see me. *Cocks Arizona issued riffle* Yeh, let’s see how fast we can get them to cry…lmao.

Sinbad: It’s Just Family

In Take 2: Film/TV Reviews on 13 April 2011 at 12:02 am

WOW!!!! Sinbad has a show!!!!

First off…. Royce is gorgeous!!!! Damn!!!! How old is he? Because yeh, he can get it. *licks lips* And he looks JUST LIKE SINBAD!! *sigh* I still need to figure out how old he is before I get arrested!

In the wake of all the news that I have received today, my soul is shaking and so is my faith, so God knew exactly what I needed because he brought this show to me today.

And wow! Sinbad, re-married his wife Meredith…okay, his ex-wife . Wow… yeh, wow is going to be my word for this episode.  But watching the two of them together is HILARIOUS!!!

Paige….sooooo I am trying to figure out who she looks like. Hmmm… she looks like her mother, I think.

YES!!!! Royce is 22!!!!!!!!!! *Orders a box of condoms!*

LMAO!!! Sinbad talking about how he wants to wear adult diapers so he can pee on himself to get the kids out of the house. lmao! I laughed so hard that I think I had a hernia. LMAO! And how he is talking about these boxes that Meredith tripped over is making me pee on myself. And hims talking about the Porsche that Meredith received as a gift from Sinbad 15 years ago but never drove…..smdh! I swear he is hilarious!!! I can’t take it! I am going to wind up hurting myself just by laughing at this damn show! lol.

I am already in a good mood after watching a few scenes and the show has only been on for 16 minutes.

DAMN that is a gorgeous car! lmao! No, it doesn’t have an old school car phone.  Sinbad didn’t ask for his platform shoes back.  Wow… is he like that all the time? I really am loving this show!!! I think I found a new show to permanently blog about.

LMAO!!! The way that Royce hi-jacked the laptop is sooooo funny! Wait, and then Paige came in too….lol. I swear I feel like it is scripted, but either way it is still funny. I don’t even care if it is scripted. LMAO!did Sinbad say that everybody got a booty!! HE said that even white women got a booty out of nowhere all of a sudden…lmao!!! I think I peed on myself!!!

Sidebar: I remember watching a Sinbad comedy special when I was around 10 years old, it was the one where he does the belt joke. And I was sitting on the couch and unbeknown to me my puppy had peed in front of the couch. Sinbad told the joke about how his mom whooped him and he woke up some time later and I laughed so damn hard that I rolled off the couch and face first into the puppy pee. Yes, TMI, I know…. but that had to be said. Because Sinbad is a comical genius and I missed him. Seeing him reminds me of the good moments of my childhood. So, glad that he is back.  And yes, I did watch The Apprentice, but that was different, this is him in his own element.

LMAO!!! I forgot to write, I was watching Sinbad…..waaaaaaaaait! Monty! HALLELUJAH!!! Okay, Paige, you know how to pick them. I applaud your choice in men. *shivers* Yummy!

Grids: Kids who are not grown but over the age of 20. lmao Sinbad’s new word.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And now Sinbad is talking about frustrating his kids is the fastest way to get kids out o your house.

LMAO!! Sinbad said there is a type of woman that he calls a scrimmage woman…lmao! This game doesn’t count. lmao! I need Sinbad to be my dad….lol. But I bet you that he didn’t tell Paige that.

LMAO!!! Did he just say that he was homeless in his own house. And the way that his family is bothering him…..you cannot tell me that was real. I mean, especially Meredith. No disrespect…..but I was annoyed watching her interrupt him.  But watching them talk about their intimacy at the end cracked me up!! lol…lol

I will DEFINITELY be watching this show.

Sincerely,

~*My Mother’s Daughter*~
