TCD

This year I want a house in this neighborhood or somewhere like it: http://thepreserveeastatlanta.com/. Now in order to make that dream come true, I have to start baking some extra bread...ya dig? My son said to me yesterday, "Ma I wish I could get a job and work so you don't have to work so hard." And that is the example of a woman that I want him to know. One who is going to work hard to get what her family deserves. One who will not wait on anyone to give it but to go find the opportunity to snatch it up. With that being said...it's all about the money right now.

The first time I married for stupid love. The next time there are rules. Now they are not in any order, but here they are.

1. Already has at least one child - I'm not having anymore Buddy!
2. Has a job and/or has own business - own business does not mean paper route.
3. Has a GOOD relationship with God -
4. Loves music - it is my passion and the person would have to understand.
5. Is patient - both of us can't be impatient. (working on it)
6. Has lived on his own for more than 5 years - "I just moved out of my mama's house" need not apply.
7. Has white teeth - I have a great dental plan. If he works, he should too. No Grillz!
8. Has all of his teeth - not much to say to that
9. Is Black - I love all of God's people...I want a black man
10. Knows he's black - sometimes we get comfortable and forget. I need him to know who Kunta Kente was.
11. Loves Min. Farrakhan - One slip of something bad said about him and it's over.
12. Loves himself - I have the responsibility to rear my children to have self love. I just don't have the room to teach someone else. Been there...done that...too exhausting.
13. Loves Hip Hop - same reason as music.
14. Can hold intelligent conversations - those filled with just "what's up, what are you doing, what's the deal" should be reserved for the 13 - 21 age range.

22. No ex-person drama - No Lifetime Movie Channel mess for me.
23. Can Cook - I'm not the only person in the world who knows how to turn on an oven.
24. Is Affectionate - now...sticking your tongue down my throat in an attempt to tickle my esophagus while in public is not appropriate, but let a sister know she's important.
25. Has a good sense of humor - Dry bones need to stay in the grave.
26. Is free of mental disease or defects - I am not running an asylum.
27. Is free of sexual disease or defects - I am not running a free clinic nor an enlargement program.

30. Is not morbidly obese - now I am not a small woman, but I need a man to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and not require a respirator waiting at the top.

Who in the hell is Ralph?

So...I guess this is going to be a blog about regular stuff, but more about my journey of finding my past. So last night (now that song is stuck in my head) I got on ancestry.com and looked up some records on my father's side. PS...thank you Stephen for KILLING KUNTA!!!

Anyway, I found some US Census records for my Great grandfather Marion Daniels and found the name of one of his other sons, Ralph Daniels. I said...who in the hell is Ralph? At first I didn't catch it because I thought maybe Ralph was my uncle Winford's real name. Then I saw the age...26 and saw he was born in 1904. This was a 1930 Census I was viewing.

Now the thing about my grandfather Marion is...when my great grandmother Alzada Green Daniels was 25, Marion was 42. His son Ralph was 26 on the census and Zeda was 25...you see my point? He was married previously and has another family out there. My grandfather has given me bits and pieces saying his nephew, which is older than him, was a coach at Durham High School many years ago. So...now I want to go back further on my daddy's side of the family, but I also want to find that other family.

Roots

Well we just finished watching the last of "Roots". It left me feeling good, but it also left me feeling empty. The family of Alex Haley was lucky because they knew of Kunta Kente. I don't have that. I am seeking to find that.

Seeing "Roots" the first time left me feeling angry at every white person that walked the earth for making us this way. This time, I'm proud to be who I am. I am proud of the struggle. I am proud of the pain. It was through the pain, through the loss, through the anger, through the struggle that we found out who we truly. We are strong. We are smart. We are mighty. We are gods. Who else but the children of God could create greatness out of the next to nothing that was given to us?

I am also sad, because I don't have my story. But I am determined to find my family's story. I have to take the souls of those that I carry with me back home. I have to take them back to the land of their mother's, father's, brother's, sisters. It is my duty and it is my honor.
