Funny . . .

The column topic in Red Eye this week is about how to avoid expressing opinions about the sig. other of a friend. In the first paragraph, I say: “I don’t always care for my friends’ significant others.” And then I go on to talk about how it’s better to keep your negative opinion to yourself because it will backfire.

The funny part about this is that 4 of my friends have asked if I really like their girl/boyfriends. Fortunately, I do. However, I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold my tongue when talking to friends whose sig. others I don’t like. I never volunteer that information unless asked, but if asked, there’s no telling what will come out of my mouth.

Long time . . .

no blog. It’s been a crazy few days.

Lots to blog about. First of all, my friend Simone sent me this little tidbit. WTF?

“Laila Ali and her husband/manager’s divorce is final. The two have
been separated since January and their divorce became final November
1st. She briefly mentioned it on the red carpet of BET’s 25
Anniversary show last night. A close friend of the boxing champ tells
Atlanta Gossip, (AG) that Laila has finally come to grips with her
true sexuality and is happy with her new found freedom and is dating
Grammy nominated actress, rapper, singer, Queen Latifah.”

Not that the sexual orientation is a shocker. I just find it interesting that they hooked up.

More later. Duty calls, unfortunately.
