A to B Sides

At first glance, this song speaks to a war, a battle.

But not on the B-side. On the B-side you’re there with him and as the song begins to play….

You’ve had a big fight. Mama crabs been wrong, Papa crabs been foul. More foul and more hurtful than either of you care to admit.

But your heart. Your heart.

“Aiming for the stars with a point & hollow” is not quite what you meant to be doing. The love runs deep but you don’t know what to do with it because no ones ever had the power to bring that out in you. And the words and fights and hate all culminate…. at 2:15…, as you climax and cum from the deepest part of your frame and reframe and then reframe again and realize the negative was what you needed to get through to the light. You wanted an easy luv?

“Matter over mind if we’re being honest”. ❤️

Can you say you trust another?

When I tell someone

Deep down how I feel inside

I do so, without pride.

Jealous

by crabbychique

I’m jealous
I want you all to myself
I swear
You don’t need nobody else
I swear
I want you all to myself
Because I’m jealous, yea
…..
You don’t need nobody else
I want you all to myself

Now that I got you
Here boy
I’m not gon’ play wit you
Because there’s a lot of things
That I wanna say to you
Boy you know you the ish
Audemars Piguet on ya wrist
Bishes all on your dick
But we not gon’ trip
Cause I’m not ready for quick commitments
And I swear i hate seein you with them
Yea, yea
And I know you ain’t tryna just own me
And I know your emotions are lonely
I can’t help how I feel
I’m just keepin’ it real
They can’t have you boy

Because I’m jealous
I want you all to myself
I swear
You can’t touch nobody else
I swear
I want you all to myself
Because I’m jealous, yea
I want you all to myself
I swear

Can’t help it
You know I get stuck when you
Come around
And them base ones be sick ’cause we be on some shit
Yeah they know I’m gon’
Hold you down
Hold hands in da whip
Tell me how you been wit your ends
We gon’ go to the crib
Make some drinks… cookin’ up a dinner
Boy I know I’m fuckin’ with a winner
Ain’t Nothing like these reckless ones I swear
Name a place, I’ll follow wit you there
I’d do anything to make you laugh
And you can have anything just ask
But just know that I’m jealous
And I swear I can’t help it
But it’s all for you
Yea it’s all for you

I’m jealous
I want you all to myself
I swear
You cant love nobody else
Yea

Signs from God

CC always says that the stars don’t lie. It’s my firm belief that He doesn’t either. Religion is the rules, in the stars lie the possibilities.

Not too long ago and unfortunate incident happened after a really nice night. I was with a papa crab near and dear to my heart and parked badly. Like really badly. I guess we were excited. This resulted in my car not being there in the morning. And To make a long story short, a wild goose chase in trying to find it.

I was upset. Part of me knew I shouldn’t have been there that late. CC took it as a sign from God. But that was a (mostly) good thing.

Yes I shouldn’t have been there, but I was, and got to hear about the new venture he was a undertaking. And yes I was scared and upset but he helped me find the car and we went, picked it up and my heart calmed down a bit. Maybe the sign was things are never going to be easy, but you find a way.

What happened after that is I don’t know what. See, CC comes from a product of divorce, for reasons that are unimportant right now, but that I will always remember. It was a different set of signs that maybe, I don’t know, I just have to re-examine to get rid of my fears.

Is his venture successful? I don’t know. Why wouldn’t it be? He’s super smart, has a good heart, and works really hard. He’s going to be really good at it. All the signs say so.

Thankful 🍁

Happy Thanksgiving Crablings!

CC has been MIA for awhile, working on some thangs, trying to get her creative mojo on, but no less thankful for life, prayers and blessings. ❤️

Enjoy crablings. Wear stretchy pants.

Allegory

It’s been a rough week at work

Deadlines and drama and a sprinkling of jerks

Taking it out on you is unkind

I’m sorry, please forgive me this weird state of mind ❤🐼:)

Can’t help but wonder

Make no mistake, this song is not CC singing. I’ve made mistake made mistakes and lived through so much that I’m “a ghost when I walk in, Holy spirit when I walk out”..

Is this what we’re doing here? Because I’d really like to understand. Run me til I don’t want, luv, or respect you?

No, this song is one I wish was sung to me. With love poured out instead of hate; visceral instead of venomous. Like you.

Because etvery woman has been here at least once in her life, maybe even twice. Every single one.

*Semi-spoiled*

If you have watched the Game of Thrones season 6 finale, were you blown away emotionally?

What amazing storytelling and suspense and emotion and love and hate and…forgiveness.

One of the things about this episode that grabbed me so fiercely was Light of the Seven. So different from the usual score, and so perfect that it was as crucial as the wildfire. Fire! Like literally.

If anyone doubts the power of music to tell a story, just don’t.

As one fan put it: “you know epic shit is going to happen when the episode starts with this music“

There is a scene in that silly movie Bruce Almighty, a scene that probably no one will remember, where Grace is sobbing in her bed and praying ‘God please help me let him go, please help me let him go’… She missed him in bed with her, after he had be such a d**k to her, living it up, taking her for granted and …..and CC wants you to know that if you too ever find yourself in that place….you can just walk over and shake her hand

Storyteller 101

How can you tell a story you haven’t lived? Study it.

How can you tell a story you’ll never understand? ~~Let whitewashed Hollywood determine that.~~

CC is extremely disappointed in Matt Damon. And not only because she watched that ridiculous movie “The Informant” (under duress!! 🚑 ⇝👉💪), but also because of the subliminal he represents.

She thought he was one of the “cool’ ones. Capable of objectivity and enlightenment. He’s starring in a show, on CC’s beloved HBO designed to give a break to a new star. What would the problem be?

Click above for the full story via TheRoot.com

And then this happened.

In one sentence, 20 seconds or less, he explained white male privilege better than any guilt piece, protest statement, video, police ‘incident’, or murder ever could. Read that again. Because CC means it. Culture is and has always been defined and communicated through its entertainment. It’s media. From the third world to the first.

What else drive values, merchandise, “norms”, and prejudices as much?

CC would empathize, but wouldn’t have the audacity to pretend to accurately dictate the truth of a white man’s emotions. Or a gay man. Or a Syrian woman. They would tell it better and we would all benefit. CC is optimistic though. For the past 6 weeks, minorities have ruled the box office. Asians and Indians are featured in prominent prime time roles. Shonda’s still Shonda and will not be shaken, and maybe, just maybe people are waking up.

So how can you tell a story you’ll never understand? Let someone tell it who does.

Or better yet, be an artist, and find a way to create our own!
