I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT...

Holiday Photo Shoot @ Tes Barnett Studios in Queens




***This blog entry is not to be read by children and is intended for a mature audience & viewers.  Simply Said***

This entry is for all the Husbands & Wives, Kings & Queens, Emperors & Empresses, Ladies & Gents.  If you took off today, that's good because at least you have time to re-cooperate from all the festivities of last night.  Now if you're getting up & going to work, great you are a trooper and you can troop on with a great big smile on your face as you reminisce on all the fun you had.

Now If you did not plan how you were going to spend Luv Bug Day with that significant person and went on last minute, you either spent too much money trying to cut on time & bumping other folks reservations or you didn't spend enough & your night was kinda cheesy & she was slightly disappointed.  If she was able to see through all of your BS but still went along for the ride, it's ONLY because she loves you and really regards "for better or for worse, for richer or for poor."  If you are one of those THAT REALLY LOOK @ LUV BUG DAY AS A PAGAN HOLIDAY, BUN DAT! Then of course last night was just like any other night in your household.  So she expected nothing but the norm.

People who conceive in February are born in November - early December.  That would be me :) and others - so let's break it down.  If you didn't wear a jimmy hat & know yourself well enough - well then LADIES PLAN B ONLY WORKS WITHIN 72 HOURS OF UNPROTECTED SEX.  That being said, I won't begin to tell you how by taking PLAN B it can definitely knock you off your cycle, but you should expect that when you are swallowing high dosages of hormones & such.

LADIES - did he get it right this time?  Did you train him well enough that he finally caught on to how you like to spend Valentines? Were you surprised @ work with roses? Did you get them on the way home?  How many of you were proposed to last night?  (by the way Happy Anniversary to Elsie & Clive Ho Sang for over 10 years of wedded bliss)

I'm sorry for the emergency rooms that had an influx of patients due to erections that lasted longer than 4 hours due to Viagra and other performance enhancement drugs.  The local OB/GYN doctors will be happy for the increase of patients that they will have in a few days because of the different bacteria that will soon visit you as a result of all those special flavored liquids that probably shouldn't have been in certain places.  I don't know - you guys gotta be careful with all those things.  FYI - If you love with everything purely - everything just flows naturally.  I'm not saying don't spice up your love life - just be careful - women we are special creatures & sensitive so buyer beware when you buy certain products.  Quite personally in my opinion, I'd rather a MAN blow my hair back than - I have no idea what's on the market right now.

For the single ladies & gents I pray you did not go to bed angry or depressed.  I hope you did something sweet for yourself.  I hope you didn't drown yourself into something destructive because that will not solve the problem only mask it.  Use this time alone for self-discovery and cleanse your body anew so that you will be ready for the next relationship AT THE APPOINTED TIME.

If you are not ready to be a Dad or Mom again or for the first time I SURE HOPE YOU ENGAGED SAFELY.  Who wants the emotions of an unwanted pregnancy; and any dude that has sex with a girl raw is saying - "you know what it's aight you could be my next baby momma."  Even if he verbally doesn't say it, his actions say otherwise.  There were break ups last night, arguments last night, proposals gone bad last night; and there was lots of love last night and expressions of love in all its forms all night long.  I hope your Luv Bug Day was awesome and that you had a great day and that your special someone can repeat it.  Not just on February 14th but each time you two lay eyes on each other.  Love is what bonds this entire world.  Spreading it's energy is the best gift one can give to another.

If you want to know what I did last night - you'll have to read my next entry - and that's if I go there, or just ask me @ my party on Saturday 2/18/12 @ Upper Deck Lounge 234-04 Merrick Blvd.  It's my mix-tape CD release celebration - C U there!

TODAY'S BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: DANIEL HALE WILLIAMS

"We have the material, the brains, and the ambition in our men and women to accomplish the highest results in any line of work."  Daniel Hale Williams

Simply Said Media gives a 21 Gun Salute to Dr. Daniel Hale Williams for his outstanding contribution to society and the vision he had for himself and others.  Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was born January 18, 1856, in Hollidaysburg, PA to Daniel and Sarah Williams.  Daniel's ancestors had African American, Native American and European backgrounds.  He married Alice Johnson in 1898, she died in 1924.  Dr. Daniel Hale Williams attended school at Haire's Classical Academy in 1878 and Chicago Medical College in 1883. The following lists just a few of his accomplishments:

1883: He received his M.D. from Chicago Medical College
1889: He was appointed to the Illinois State Board of Health
1893: He performed the world's first successful heart operation
1894-98: He was appointed Surgeon-in-Chief of Freedmen's Hospital in Washington DC
1895: He helped form the inter-racial Medicochirurgical Society of Washington and also helped in organizing the National Medical Association and served as its first vice-president
1913: Founding member of the American College of Surgeons

What I love most about this remarkable Dr. is that in 1891 he opened up Provident Hospital, both black & white doctors were on staff and it also had a nurses' training school.  This was the FIRST inter-racial hospital in the United States.  At this hospital Black people were treated with the utmost care & dignity.

We are a great people, we've done great things.  What kind of mark do you want to leave?  For each day that you are given, you have another opportunity to enhance your life & others.  Be proud & celebrate this month & every day of the year!

Simply Said Media acknowledges Dr. Daniel Hale Williams & every other Black person in the field of Medicine.  KUDOS!!!  You can learn more about Dr. Daniel Hale Williams by visiting your local library or just use "google" :)
