Sagging .... All Time Low

I know you have seen the sag look.  Where men and some women wear their pants down below their behinds.  Some people sag to the point their pants are down to their hips.  Showing all  their under wear.  I understand this fashion started in our prisons.  My understanding  is, in prisons this was a  way to express to  gay men that he was available.  He would pull his pants down on his behind for all to see that I'm down with being gay.  No harm done there.  We the public did not have to see it or be offended by it. 

Now that the sagging look has came out of the prisons and into our communities, Are you accepting of it?  I'm not!  It is a disgrace.  It shows our world is in turmoil.  When we let our men and women walk around with their behinds out and nothing is done, we are in trouble.  Some men sag with no shirt on.  They sag to the point of having to hold their pants up. No belt,  no rope and sometimes no hope.  They look a hot mess.

Have you ever confronted a child sagging?  I have all the time.  I do it when the opportunity presents itself. I do it in a manner that will not hurt or offend the saggie.  I simply ask him or her why?  I sometimes ask, did your mother see you leave the house looking like that?  Or if the sag is really bad, I scold them and say,"there is classy and their is trashy, you are looking trashy. 

Yes, I know its dangerous to say anything to any body's children.  It's the mom in me.  I can't help it.  I refuse to let children think its okay to walk around with your underwear showing,  holding your crouch, with no shirt on.  Someone has to speak up and hold these children accountable for their uncivilized manners.  Most of them want you to notice them.  They want you to engage them.  They want to be held accountable.  If we never say anything to them this bad behavior will continue.  You will not reach everyone but if you reach and teach one......... that is better then teaching none.

Fashion trends come and go.  Lets help the sag go faster by speaking up and telling our young folk to pull them up!

Lift Every Voice

I love America.  I have never been anywhere else, to know if I would want to live some place else.  I love it here.  In America  I can lift my voice and express my thoughts, frustrations, dreams, and opinions.  I love this freedom.  History tells the story's of how many people died for people like me to lift my voice.  If this is the case........I Thanks these people.


To those that want to take my  different points of thoughts, frustrations, dreams and opinions to another level is unfair.  I'm allowed to think different.  I'm allowed to have different points of view.  I'm also allowed to be a jerk, a comedian, a philosopher, a poet, a drum major, a activist, a prophet, a singer, whatever I desire. 


This blog is the way I can be all of the above.  I'm funny, I'm frustrated, but most of all I'm a good listener.  I will listen to anybody express their whatever.  That is why America is good.  We allow this. 


It is up to each individual person to decide what is best for them.  The articles are meant for discussions.  Nothing more nothing less.  It is for each person to read, and take away from it whatever you would like.  I do it all the time.  I read a lot of things I disagree with.  However, I don't use it against a them to try to hurt them.  No, I actually do the opposite.........I wish they would lift their voices louder so that others can hear and learn and feel what it is they are trying to say. 

Love and Peace to all:
Sincerely,
Yvonne Collins

Are you a Nag When It Comes to the Sag?

Someone has to say it and someone has to do it!  Tell our young men to pull their pants up!  This whole sag era has me wondering how far will it go?  When and where does it stop?  What next?  

What goes through your head when you see a young mans pants down below his hips?  Do you turn away quickly?  Do you blush with embarrassment?  Do you point it out to your company?  Or do you accept it as a fashion statement?  

I invite your thoughts on this issue.  I will tell you what I do and say when I get the opportunity to say something to our young folks about their pants on the ground.

Not in this article but in a later article.  You have to stay tune. 

Exciting Times

Wow, I'm loving this run for Norwood School District.  I'm getting a lot of attention.  I must be on some folks mind.  I feel like I'm representing.  Ever heard the saying any publicity is good publicity?  There are three other candidates and nothing about them.  It's all about me!!!!! 


Please give me your vote on Nov. 8th and make it really really about me!!!!!!

I'm Not Afraid

Dear Opposition,

I'm not afraid of you.  To quote Eminem,  "I'm not afraid to take a stand".  I'm not afraid of your tactics.  I'm not afraid of your criticisms.   I'm not afraid that you will make up lies and untruths.  I'm not afraid that you will dig into my past.  All the while not seeing the good future I have.  No,  I'm not afraid that you will find out that I was in a crazy abusive relationship in the 80's.  I'm not afraid that I have touched some nerves in my commentaries on issues.  I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of your lies and smear campaign.  You can't make me afraid.  I am who I am and I like me. 

Let me tell you who I am.  I have never done any drugs.  I have never done crack, crystal meths, PCP, heroin, estacy, pills, bath salts nor any mind altering drugs.  I have never been interested in doing drugs.  I have seen up close and personal the damage they do.  For anyone that finds themselves unable to come to terms with their own personal use,  I hope you seek and  find the help you need. 

I have never mistreated my children or any ones children for that fact.  I care for children 6 days a week.  I provide care and love for all children, all colors, all religions, from all kinds of families.  That is why I'm not afraid.  I got it going on.  I know what I can do...........so I tell myself go head on with your bad self and don't be afraid of the haters.

So I say bring it on.  Because............ I'M NOT AFRAID!

Here is My Announcement..................
