Song of the day: Fancy by The Dream
Today was interesting, finally. The main thing that stuck out in my mind (maybe because it is the most recent) is the prom of the local high school. OMG some of those dresses were beautiful, some of them were a hot mess. I don't know. Maybe I have been away too long or maybe I am starting to mature, but those teenagers were ooozing with "ghetto". As bad as that may sound, It is the honest truth. I saw fan dressed, tu-tu dresses, paper mache accents, loud pastels, pearlized gray-pink, pimp canes, and not to mention the weaves..Those kids aint know what good fashion sense was. I just couldn't help but to wonder, "Is this what is really hot in the street now"? Does my African American culture believe that the loudest, most revealing article of clothing is the best one? I refuse to believe so. Some one has mis-educated the youth and told them it was cute to look a mess. Where are the mentors? We need some older, wiser, stronger citizens to lead the younger people in the right direction.
What would the world be like if everyone had common sense? Quite boring. There would not be anything to laugh at. But there would also not be a reason for my soul to shed tears from time to time.
