i am eth I opian

hey honey[s]!

this blog was inspired by an aim convo i had recently about beautiful ethiopian women. every where i go, one common question that is get is ‘what are you’? my first instinct is to look at them crazy and say ‘i’m a human! what the hell does it look like i am?’ anyways before i get that ugly i simply say, ” i am african ” [most people have never heard of ethiopia and i rarely feel like giving history lessons to strangers] then they really get confused and say “huh? but what are you mixed with?” i’m like “HUH????!!!” I’m mixed with my mommy and daddy, that’s what! i mean…. whatinthehell? i never said i was mixed!

i’m kinda tired of the ignorance that exists. it’s really sad that education is not being nurtured in this country. instead, entertainment and all types of other distractions are created and promoted with multi-million dollar advertising campaigns. give me a break.  anyways i’m not gonna get too deep into it because i could go on for days about this.

i’m over it.

this, however cheered me up. it’s an ethiopian artist and she is using r&b/rock beats and the lyrics are in amharic. her name is zeritu kebede. LOVE her. her humble nature and the way she describes what music means to her, is some of the realest shit i ever heard.

enjoy!   

most of y’all probably don’t know that i speak amharic fluently.  always have.  ;) this is a song from her 1st album.

**i ♥ mr. president**  
[i know that this is very marilyn monroe of me but...]

omg can i just say, i’m ON to michelle.  she didn’t fall in love with a president or a senator, or even a lawyer.

honey, she fell in love with the SWAGGER known as ‘barry’.  

*melts*  

this

picture is by FAR the ultimate illustration of how beautiful of a man he is.  a real man honey. a soldier. a rider.  and (dare i say)  an intelligent & polished ‘thug’.   

omg- there is nothing more sexy to me than a man who has a high IQ and a low ‘corny’.  high on the i-don’t-give-a-damn-what-you-think, but low on the i-think-i’m-all-that.  

mmHMM!  i’m on to you michelle.  you wanted a little necessary roughness in your life and i am NOT mad.  u did that mama. u definitely did that.
