What`s good BP?


Welcome to my place. You must remove your shoes upon entering.
I hope you enjoy your stay. While you`re here, why don`t you take a look around. You can start with the main floor.

On this floor you`ll learn a little about what Tha Midwest is like.

First let me say that I'm not here to meet anyone. If your intentions are to meet me, you're on the wrong page. I am a woman who enjoys the simple things in life. I'm not the type that's materialistic by any means. The little things mean a lot. I'll take a candy bar, a card or a stuffed animal over anything because it shows it came from the heart. I'm a kind, loving, caring good woman with a very good heart. Through the years, I have found that most men don't want to be with or mistreats a good woman (like myself) and it's sad. I suppose if I were anything but a lady, I'd have all kinds of men trying to be with me. But...it's their loss though.

Ok, I'll give you a moment to browse....

All done?

Before I can go on I must let it be known that I am also a mom to three beautiful daughters. I don't have any pictures of them on my page because they are too young to be exposed.

Are there any questions before we move on? If so, don't be afraid to ask.

Ok now, let's go to the second floor.

On this floor you'll find poetry, quotes and random thoughts. I know you're probably busy but if you have a minute, I'll share a poem with you. I'm sure some of you can relate. It's not written by me although I have written a few myself.

Weekend Glory

Some clichty folks
don't know the facts,
posin' and preenin'
and puttin' on acts,
stretchin' their backs.

They move into condos
up over the ranks,
pawn their souls
to the local banks.
Buying big cars
they can't afford,
ridin' around town
actin' bored.

If they want to learn how to live life right
they ought to study me on Saturday night.

My job at the plant
ain't the biggest bet,
but I pay my bills
and stay out of debt.
I get my hair done
for my own self's sake,
so I don't have to pick
and I don't have to rake.

Take the church money out
and head cross town
to my friend girl's house
where we plan our round.
We meet our men and go to a joint
where the music is blue
and to the point.

Folks write about me.
They just can't see
how I work all week
at the factory.
Then get spruced up
and laugh and dance
And turn away from worry
with sassy glance.

They accuse me of livin'
from day to day,
but who are they kiddin'?
So are they.

My life ain't heaven
but it sure ain't hell.
I'm not on top
but I call it swell
if I'm able to work
and get paid right
and have the luck to be Black
on a Saturday night.

Maya Angelou

Quote: "Love is a universal emotion, the goal we all seek, the prize that can make our lives complete and whole. Love is both timeless and, in too many instances, transient. If love is a universal emotion, then the pain it often causes is equally universal. We all believe, if only because we must, that love can be found. Some of us, maybe most of us- have discovered it can also be lost".

I hope you enjoyed the poem and the quote. Now for those of you that are still here, I'd like to share some little known "did you know" facts. I don't know how true they are but I thought they were entertaining.

Did you know?...It is impossible to lick your elbow. LOL

Did you know?...The "sixth sick sheik`s sixth sheep`s sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.

Did you know?...Hydrogen is an explosive gas. Oxygen supports combustion. Yet when these are combined it is water which is used to put out fires.

Did you know?...It`s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open? Next time you feel a sneeze coming try it! Now that is something I would like to see. LOL

Well I hope your visit was a pleasant one. Please feel free to come back at anytime. Don`t forget to put your shoes back on and sign my guestbook on your way out. That is if you want too but if you don`t, I won`t be mad at ya! :o)
