Chris Rock sprinkled black in the Oscars

As the Oscars opens up the show with a video reel of movies and Chris Rock, brings it in with a joke, mentioning there was at least 15 black people in the reel. Which it was! Less black people were nominated for The Oscars. He goes on to say how Will and Jada are mad about Will Smith not being nominated but Chris hits them with the line in regards to Jada that the Oscars for Jada is equivalent to Chris Rock and Rihanna's panties... both Jada and Chris... not invited. Damn!!

Chris Rock got a little serious for us too, saying how as the Oscars have been going on for 88 years now and black people never protested the prior Oscar awards, because black people had more serious things to protest. True! But does it still make it ok?
All around, with bringing Stacey Dash out to the stage for her  to say, "I can't wait to help my people out, Happy Black History Month" and the parodies of nominated movies with black actresses and actors in them. Chris Rock did what he knows best, he made people around him feel uncomfortable. He shook it up for sure, is it enough to make sure this is the last year that no black actors or Leonardo DiCaprio go unnoticed... Again? Oh but wait! Even Leo won! Finally and he didn't have to be a crackhead, crooked cop, or a whore on screen to do it!
If you didn't watch The Oscars, catch the memes. I'm sure they will all be about Chris Rock and Kevin Hart. Lets be honest though, at 8pm I tuned to watch the much anticipated Walking Dead! Gotta love them damn zombies!

Your Tattoos Make You A Horrible Mother... Really?

Does your INK make you a bad parent? Are you unlikely to have a fantasy wedding with Ink? You have tattoos,  will your child get them too?

12 tattoos and counting, 10 years of raising a beautiful daughter, and I'm still a kick ass parent. Having tattoos as a female, people who don't have them or don't understand the art, can make you feel almost less of a woman/man/parent because of the tattoos. You have those that chose their tattoo position to strategically hide when they wed, but who says you'll get married? In my twenties, I don't see marriage in the near future (too many "I'm not ready" types), but whomever is lucky enough, he'll love the art too. Being a thespian and a student ambassador in undergrad, I mastered how to cover my art with makeup. Should I have to? No, but that was then. Now, if it doesn't put money in my pocket/feed my family, then the INK lives.

One famous parent, Mark Wahlberg in 2012 removed his tattoo of Bob Marley located on his shoulder, in hopes that he will deter his children. Let this be known, neither of my parents, grandparents, or uncles and aunts have tattoos. My oldest brother has one tat. I'm 1 of 5 and I'm the one with the most. Myself and my daughter's father are neck and neck with the number of tattoos. As a young child, Cailyn would take washable markers and say "look I have tattoos like daddy!". Now at 10 they amuse her as art but the pain she's aware of and isn't fond of what all it takes to get at tattoo.
