The day to day interaction between people seems to be more intense as time goes by. Or is it that human interaction has always been this way and the Information Age has brought everything to light?
People have always asked me where I get my knowledge on relationships, my response has always been the same; male friends and mistakes. Watching and observing how men really feel about women and their actions was the best education I could have ever had, next to learning from my own mistakes. I learned the game early and didn't follow the typical rules of relationships, but in the end I found my soul mate. Had I not made my mistakes, had I followed the typical rules,or had I not paid attention to and asked questions of the men around me, I would have never found the love of my life.
It's not always easy for women to make new-truly platonic friends, especially once they get closer to and beyond 30. So what do you do? Read "Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat: A Woman's Pocket Guide to Getting a Good Man and Keeping Him," by Okeeba Jubalo and Zachary Davis.
The duo covers issues such as:
Taking advise from negative friends
Holding out on intimacy
Gold Diggers
Settling
Self-Esteem
Cheating
Unhappy, Desperate and Crazy Women
In order to really accept their knowledge and receive the benefits of this book, you need to really take an honest look at yourself and your previous interaction with the opposite sex. It took me three hours to get through this book because I just could not seem to put it down. Statements made in "Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat" are jaw dropping and utterly amazing, yet they are very true. The tone is direct, straight to the point, with no sugar-coating.

Be sure to sure to check out my review of "Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat" for Rasha Entertainment.
Clayton County wrongfully sent more than two dozen officers to Shennielle Youhoing-Nanan's house over an Animal Control violation.
The worst part about it is that Shennielle was not even guilty of the Animal Control violation. Internal Affairs has received the report and the County departments have no comment.
This report came from AJC.com
Jones said Youhoing-Nanan was rousted from her home in bedclothes and paraded into the street partially naked. He said she was taken to a hospital after emergency medical personnel determined she needed care. He also said she was taken to jail after her hospital discharge.
Jones said Youhoing-Nanan began bleeding because of the rough treatment, and that a doctor whom she visited later could testify that she suffered a miscarriage.
"Witnesses can say the knee in the back is what caused the heavy bleeding," Jones said. "It was like a SWAT team raid ... certainly an overreaction for dogs."
Needy - Okay...So you ignored lessons 1-3, now what?
Well by now he probably thinks you are needy but the other adjectives may stand out a little more. This next step will solidify you as needy and maybe even a needy drama queen. If you happen to get his voice instead of his voice mail and say, "Why haven't you called me?," "Where have you been?" or "Are you avoiding me?" you will probably turn him off.
Your tone will determine if you are just needy or a needy drama queen. Either way you have just added more distance between you and your potential man.
Fear - Relationships can be scary. They put people in the hospital, morgue and the psyche ward.
Aside from those obvious cases of horror, most women have other types of fear: fear of being alone, fear of not winning the man, fear of loosing the man and even fear of sharing the man (the unfaithful).
Men can smell these fears on women from the beginning. Some of you wear it like a perfume or body-wash. A good man wants a woman that is confident, strong, comfortable with themselves, loving and happy. They will distance themselves from you if they smell these fears because they lead to: manipulation, jealousy, blaming, attitudes, stalking, false accusations and overall drama.
"At The Sound of The Beep" - How many times have you heard that in a day?
Do you know his voicemail greeting by heart? Persistent calling with no answer says this about you: needy, no life, boring, she'll take whatever I dish out, possible booty call, low self-esteem, issues, and a slight chance of drama queen.
Available Much? - So...Have you given him a special ringtone to stand out from everyone else? Do you break your neck to catch the phone when he calls?
If you answered yes to any of these questions or even considered this - STOP!!
Play it cool during the dating phase. It's okay to let a new honey go to voicemail every now and then. You should have increased your personal activity anyway, so how can you possibly have time to answer all of his calls, right? RIGHT!
It has been known that women can trust a man's actions before they can trust his words, but most women don't realize that men read your actions before they read your words. I once had a guy base our relationship the infamous "Door Test" from "A Bronx Tale."
In this world that repeatedly reminds women that fairytales don't exist, women need to be aware of their actions and the messages they convey. More importantly, we need to look at the internal signals the we send off that may make men look the other way.
Lesson 1
Get Busy - There is a world of activity waiting for you. Keep it up or start something new. During the dating phase, when you and your interest are getting to know each other, don't let them know or make it seem like they are the only activity or interest in your life.
Being your sole interest, activity and entertainment is a heavy weight on people who are in the dating phase. It starts to feel like a responsibility when his time and phone calls become an expectation before a commitment has been established.

Police are looking for a road-rage shooter who seriously injured two women early Wednesday night in southwest Atlanta.
One woman was shot in the face and the other in the chest by a black man believed to be driving a red convertible with a black top, police said.
The vehicle is similar to a Eagle Talon with the words “Talon” possibly written on the back, police spokesman James Polite said.
The women were together in a car when they encountered the man around 8 p.m., Wednesday night in the 3900 block of Campbellton Road, police said. “He tried to have a conversation with them, and they weren’t receptive and drove off,” Polite said.
But about a half a mile to the east, as the women began to get onto I-285, the man appeared again and began shooting, Polite said.
Both women, whose names police declined to release, were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where they are in stable condition, police said.
I was driving late this afternoon and heard an interesting report on the Micheal Baisden Show. This report described the most disturbing treatment of a child that I have ever heard. I have worked wit abused children, and I have friends that are now adults who were once abused children, so I have heard it all.
My heart skipped a beat when they described how a 21 year old man (Richard McTear) threw a four month old baby (Emanuel Wesley Murray) on the concrete and later threw the baby out of a moving car onto I-275.
That story is quite horrific, but take a look at the back story:
We have the mother(Jasmine Bedwell) a 17 year old girl, who had a four month old baby boy by a man currently serving a prison sentence.
This same 17 year old girl had the stress of dealing with a violent ex-boyfriend who had previously threatened the life of her infant.
Family members say McTear had threatened to hurt the baby in the past. "He told her last month he was going to kill her baby, going to shoot her baby," said a family member. In April, McTear's ex-girlfriend filed a court injunction against McTear for domestic violence. However, the case was dropped when she did not show up for court.
I am not making any judgments, but I am just wondering why no one forced this girl to go to court. That trip may have saved the life of this child. Being that Jasmine Bedwell was a minor, there had to be someone around that had to at least feel responsible for her well being.
The prison system is a sad epidemic for American families. It is quite obvious, but if this father was free this probably would have never happened. Why is he locked up and most improtantly; WHY IS A 17 YEAR OLD MIXED UP IN MORE DRAMA THAN ANY ADULT SHOULD HAVE TO BEAR?
It was no secret that Richard McTear had violent history. Why was he even allowed to date a 17 year old? This does not make sense. Grown women don't need to deal with someone like him. Many fathers are not around, but what about cousins, brothers, and uncles.
McTear had previously been arrested on charges including felony battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery by strangulation. According to the Florida Department of Corrections, McTear was sentenced to two years probation in June 2008 on a felony battery conviction. An arrest warrant was issued when he failed to report.
Someone I once knew had her baby taken away from her as she was a minor because she would not break away from an abusive relationship. Child services should have intervened with this case. Eventually people will be listed as registered abusers and not jut sexual predators. How many lives could be saved? How many childhoods will be free of scars(mental and physical)?
Please know that I am not passing judgement; I am just wondering WHY?
