Diary of Mad Black Women
Note: this is not a film review, its merely a blog that has been influenced by Tyler Perry's (superb) movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
If you haven't seen the movie, I strongly suggested you literally run to the dvd store and get urself a copy. I promise you will be inspired.
I don't want to ruin it for those that haven't seen it so I'll just give a brief description then move on.
The movies is centred around the emotional journey that (forgot her name, so I'll call her Petunia) Petunia goes through, after her husband, of about ten years, literally treats her like *bleep!*. Just overnight she is homeless, penniless & humiliated. But as Karma (who we all know is a bitter fat biaach) would have it, she then gets an opportunity to avenge herself and make her husbands life a living hell. Naturally she gives into temptation and instead of being the bigger person she.... lets just say she does as any mad black woman would do.
Now we all know what a sweety I am, lol. So, naturally, when my mom told be about the movie (an hour long trailer), I thought, geez, I could never do that. Thats crazy. Only people with no class or self dignity would do such. If I were in that situation I'd be bigger than that. Tjo!! Little did I know that my now ex boyfriend would pull a stunt on me. Nig.., lets not get ugly. Brotherman and I were on a break. But we were still talking, him constantly telling me how beautiful I am and how much he missed me. Then one day he comes in at work. So I'm thinking, WOW, he is here to work things out! You should have seen me. I put on my best smile, walked towards me and asked, What brings you this side of town, (a gesture I am now kicking myself for) ? A now hated colleague then walks out and says ( with her squeaky trifling voice) “Baby, what are you doing here”?, (followed by a pretentious) “:Oh Puchu I meant to tell you, Idiot and I are now dating, Sorry”. “You.. two... are?” I stupidly stuttered. This was then followed by a chocked 'congratulations'.
Naturally I then look at him expecting some explanation or Desmond Dube and his cast to pop out. But Brother man just looked at me and acted nonchalant about the whole situation.
Filled with fury and a desire to whip out my superhuman powers and kill the both of them. I slowly walked away and cried for the next few days. My cousin then brought over Dairy of a Mad Black Woman and said come lets watch this for tips or at least fantasize about what we could do to him. As I watched this movie for the second time I could feel the resentment building up. I found myself spending most of my time contemplating ways to make him pay. (I will not share my ideas, it will taint my reputation.) But Inkonzo (church) is powerful. So I have decided to be a bigger person and not let some bugger help me devalue myself. He (he is so hopelessly insecure) and his bimbo (with her tired weave) deserve each other. Well, that's my rant guys. Kindly share your stories and please Holla if you have been lucky enough to witness a Mad Black Woman in Action.
