Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Carribbean women are aggressive and hotheaded?!?

Within all the hoopla of the alleged Rihanna-Chris Brown incident, I have read quite a few gossip sites about how seemingly she deserved what she got. First of all, it bothers me that although no one knows the "truth" everyone has to put their two cents about what happened and why it happened. Honestly, I don't care why they had this alleged incident, it just should have never happened. Domestic abuse is a real thing and there are thousands of women who suffer from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse everyday from a significant other. Instead of these gossip sites trying to find out which jumpoff set off Rihanna, why don't they try to figure out why it would seem that such a young man would hit his girlfriend? There is never an excuse for physical altercation so why are we searching for reasons? Are you telling me that if she said something that bad, she deserved what she got? Bullshit.

I'm also pissed because everyone is bringing up the fact that she is Caribbean and supposedly Caribbean women are aggressive, talk back and crap like that. Once again, fingers are being pointed at her for any reason they can find. I am insulted because I am from the Caribbean and it does not matter how much any woman talks back, they do NOT deserve to be hit. We live in such a twisted society. And its funny because if she was simply African American, they would say that Black women have attitudes and never know when to stop. We live in such a twisted society.

I don't even know why I read these gossip sites, well yea I do...but sometimes they really get under my skin. Conformists.

On a different note, I finally got in touch with my venue and have an appointment at the end of the month. I am sooo freakin excited. My maids of honors may meet me there so it will be a little viewing party. I am praying that it will go well.
