October 30,2005
Today I was on the subway and I noticed a couple across from me. The female was simply beautiful and very alluring (caucasion). Her boyfriend was as we would say Thuggin out.......wife beater, army fatigues and timberlands the whole look. They seemed like a really loving couple. As a matter of fact she was giving him so much affection it started to make me wish that I was not single...lol...so during the course of the subway ride this couple were very lovable towards each other..kissing, laughing and really in love.

Well at one of the stops a group of guys got on the train and they recognized the guy that was with his girlfriend...suddenly his mood changed and he pushed her off of him and instantly became someone else...i.e. his demeanor and attitude changed. As his friends came closer he greeted them not once introducing his female companion as his girlfriend / sex partner subway attendant..anything...so I was thinking "WTF"...as the ride continued the female looked at him and said "baby arent you going to introduce me?"...the other guys got quiet and looked as he stated "Fuck you need an introduction for?"...as his friends laughed...the young lady had tears in her eyes and said "I'm sorry"....and I was thinking again "WTF"...a few moments later the guys stop came and they approched the door...as they did they looked at him and one said "Aye you comin?"...I glanced over thinking to myself..He is not about to leave her on this train...and as sure as I thought it....he got up without a word to her and got off the train!

As the doors closed and the train moved forward...she began to breakdown and cry profusely...so I asked her if she was okay and she said "no not really"...so I had to ask her...was that your boyfriend and she said yes..so I said...why did he treat you like that in front of his friends..and she replied.."I am the first white girl that he dated so I think he is ashamed of me".....this confused me..so I said to her..."no what just happened here was not shame..it was disrespect plain and simple" and she said..."he does it all the time when his friends come around" So I asked her the most important question..."why do you put up with it?"...she wiped her eyes and looked at me in mine and said "I love him a lot"..this made me feel really angry like I wanted to shake some sense into her and ask her..are you kidding..and at the same time it made me really sad. So I guess my question is "does loving someone a lot mean you love yourself less?" and if so..when do you gain the common sense to know better?

Before You Talk About Me....Meet Me First!

Why oh why cant people just be supportive of other people....is it a crime to render your opinion when asked....since when has it been a crime to speak your mind without people getting up in arms about it...well da hell with them people because I am here 24/7 if you have a question just ask....noone knows me better than me. To all the naysayers have a cup full of Dawn Robinson:
