Being MJ

I’m watching Being Mary Jane, and I have thoughts. Lots of thoughts but right now I’m focused on her and Andre, this married man. Although I do not condone cheating, cheating with a married man, is a different kind of horrid karma. When she didn’t know, that’s one thing, but now that you’ve made a decision to partake in this, unfortunately MJ deserves everything that will happen in the future. Also, how can you trust this man not to do the same thing to you? Granted his actually seem to be going thru with divorcing his wife, but at what point does he get tired of you, and want to see what else is out there? When your job is taking too much of your time? When he isn’t the one being put first?

While married man and Avery (his wife) was in therapy, he listed all these things that she’s responsible for, and didn’t feel like a priority, and I can understand. However its never crossed his mind, that Avery is responsible for everything, so when its time to be spontaneous, she doesn’t have any more of herself left to give. Ugh, he just gets on my damn nerves, truly. Now can she possibly give more, yes, But that will ONLY happen when the married man takes some things off her plate. I’m sure in marriage its a give and take, that balances everything.

I do hope Mary Jane really looks at this situation for what its worth, and leave him where he’s at … with his wife.

Wine? More Please!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Gabrielle Union’s book, and therefore I had no expectations. So she pleasantly surprised the shit out of me. I’m not sure why I pictured her as someone who was a bit rigid in her personality but the book was such a good read. Obviously there was some chapters that wasn’t easy to read, although I wasn’t the one living that particular truth, I could still feel her. I’ve added Gabrielle Union to the very short list of women who are friends in my head, Monica is number one, if you was wondering. I respect the level of honesty required to write her book. I’m thankful she found the courage to explore her past, to relive the not so nice parts, to be able to be a story teller to us.

As long as I can remember I was willing to support Gabrielle Union, the actress, now, I’m ready to support Gabrielle Union the woman.
