I mean musicians, athletes, actors/actresses are dropping like flies. It is definitely a reality check for us regular people. Here is my list of greats that have left too soon, sorry if I've forgotten a few: Bernie Mack (1957-2008), Isaac Hayes (1942-2008), Michael Jackson (1958-2009), Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009), Steve McNair, and the guy that said "Heeeeeerrrrrreeeee's Johnny!!", I got it..Ed McMahon (forgive me but I cant remember his name).<br /><br />It's amazing the affect that these people have on our lives. And what's funny is that when they're alive you would've never thought that someone who u didn't know, knew most of the words to all their big hits, or have never been to a concert could have such a profound affect on your life. I mean when I heard about Michael and Bernie Mac I was horribly sadden. I couldn't believe how sad I was. And I actually cried about Michael. I couldn't talk to anybody. And I was thoroughly overcome by sorts of emotions..I didn't know what hit me.<br /><br />It just shows that you don't have to know a person to have true compassion and respect for what they have accomplished. The world was touched by these people.<br /><br />I almost feel like there has to be a conspiracy or something. Especially in regards to all of these prominent black men that are dying (hate to bring this to a race thing..lol). But for real..its crazy.<br /><br />With all these recent deaths, it helps one to stay focused on the here and now. We all have to remember that both life and death waits for nobody. None of us is blessed w/ time. And don't put off for tomorrow what you could do today. Live your dreams, no matter what your friends or family has to say about it. And realize that sometimes it's not meant for others to understand your dreams. Sometimes you gotta go @ it solo.<br /><br />Something to think about...<br /><br />May all those who have left us rest now...u will always be remembereda_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-12629442232952406832009-05-01T20:59:00.001-07:002009-05-01T21:12:46.784-07:00Why are women such emotional creaturesSo..I'm lying in bed..and "The Lake House" w/ Keane Reeves and Sandra Bullock just finishes...and of course I'm the biggest baby. And I realize why the hell are I/women such emotional creatures. I mean I could watch this shit all day!! And of course one of my all the fav movies is coming on next, "The Notebook". I mean OMG...this movie just makes every chic that's not cold-hearted (and there are a few of those bitches out there) just wanna melt. Those of u men who have not seen the movie "The Notebook" definitely need to go rent the DVD. It's literally what every chic dreams about.<br /><br />I always wonder where the hell is the guy whose suppose to do all those amazing things for me. Us women don't ask for every much: a man whose caring, believes in fam, hard working, and will love us unconditional; Not that much!!<br /><br />Sometimes I think that us women are suppose to run across a good number of losers and I hope that men have to suffer the same to REALLY appreciate a good thing when one comes across us. But I always wonder like REALLY how many losers do we have to met. Well I guess I will continue to be single and suffer tho the losers until a GOOD one comes along...<br /><br />OH....how timing is everythinga_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-35603577294101599362009-04-28T16:26:00.000-07:002009-04-28T16:28:03.189-07:00Big One: Blinded TruthTrust…now broken<br /><br />Heart…shattered<br /><br />Friendship….gone<br /><br />Someone who I thought so highly of…turned out to be a fraud<br /><br />Hints said so subtle over the years…hmm how naive of me<br /><br />No…everyone doesn’t feel that way about those close to them<br /><br />Why do u keep asking me this…the answer hasn’t changed… “NO”<br /><br />Ohhh how tricky…such a sly snake..timed just right…you’ve put in place<br /><br />Curiosity…oh..how it killed the cat…curiosity…oh…play it safe<br /><br />Patron…Hennesey…Grey Goose it…fake…<br /><br />Here have this…just a bit more…you’ll feel so great…fake…<br /><br />So pretty…so soft…so gentle…so fake<br /><br />So into u…so into me…just me and you…so fake…<br /><br />Come sit on my lap…look in my eyes…I care for u…so fake…<br /><br />Mind in a world wind…things will never be the same…yes they will…no they won’t..yes they will.so fake…<br /><br />Thump…thump…thump...thump…thump...my heart beating so fast<br /><br />Why…why…why…why…why…why the hell he’s doing these thangs…<br /><br />Slide in me…I can’t look…please stop…mind goin crazy…words won’t come out…<br /><br />I’m still…<br /><br />Can’t move….can’t breathe…SILENCE<br /><br />He’s like my father…I’m like his daughter…DAMN IT’S SO FAKE<br /><br />FUCK A MAN..FUCK A DUDE…FUCK A FRIEND…FUCK A NIGGA…. “ALL SO FAKE”<br /><br />We were soooo close…I loved u like fam…u were like my dad…<br /><br />SHATTEREDa_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-29685933400078812422009-04-28T15:59:00.000-07:002009-04-28T16:00:20.242-07:00To my daddyHere's another poem...I hope u likie!!<br /><br />To My Daddy<br /><br />My daddy had no daddy<br />To show him all the ropes<br />From that I see my daddy<br />Finds it hard to show his love<br /><br />In abstract ways I guess he’s tried<br />To reveal these clues to me<br />But as a child and now adult<br />They still remain a mystery<br /><br />We live each day in the present<br />Yet still haunted by the past<br />But my Heavenly Father says to me<br />I must forgive whole heartedly<br />To heal the hurt and pain<br /><br />In my journey to become closer to Christ<br />I know I have to do this<br />Leaving the fragments of the past<br />And focus on the future<br /><br />So I say on this special day<br />That is yours indeed<br />I love you now and forever more<br />Not bringing up the past to theea_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-38383832610013272322009-02-22T19:27:00.000-08:002009-02-23T21:41:48.456-08:00He's just not that into uOk...so of course I had to go see this movie. This movie was hella funny...I mean I was dying. I agreed with the movie in quite a few instances. I actually took a few notes, which is hella funny in itself. I definitely think it's a movie worth seeing so I will try not to tell the whole thing...lol. But no, I really want to add a bit.<br /><br />Sooo...you would think that everyone would know when a person isn't really into them. But, I think it's a bit confusing these days for some folks.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFdbys-juNsmYDw_u_PZXGgyR7ytzK0VsygYfnKwmGsvX-qa4OxtAGXp_KJ6C12ex35WsEpEoDeOJbX85nU8m6MHdRhDd0XBufwp1Pm7A6KfLgighyphenhyphenTRsEC3fNqJ06nyIRh-cPgIEIu6o/s1600-h/blog+pic.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFdbys-juNsmYDw_u_PZXGgyR7ytzK0VsygYfnKwmGsvX-qa4OxtAGXp_KJ6C12ex35WsEpEoDeOJbX85nU8m6MHdRhDd0XBufwp1Pm7A6KfLgighyphenhyphenTRsEC3fNqJ06nyIRh-cPgIEIu6o/s400/blog+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306234775381582610" /></a><br /><br />-Ignoring phone calls<br />-Person being rude to u<br />-Dogging you<br />-Dodging you<br />-Never returning phones<br /><br />I'm sure there are many more tale-tell signs of it. And I think women especially concoct amazing excuses as to why men act the way they do. In the movie, I really felt this held true. In the movie the chick would just make millions of excuses as to why the guys she liked would dodge her or treat her badly. I have tons of girl friends that do this and I know I find myself doing this also. Once you get over the person and you look back at the situation it's amazing the BS that you put up with. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Some scenarios</span>: <br /><br />He/She cheated on you: I caused this b/c I didnt do ______ (fill that in)<br /><br />He/She is rude b/c: I irritate him.<br /><br />He/She is in the process of a divorce (gotta love that one)BTW what the hell is a process of a divorce..your either divorce or married..there is NO in between!!!!<br /><br />He/She hasn't call yet...oh they must be busy...(hmmm that is always funny)<br /><br />Haven't hard from that person for a while (think about it)<br /><br /><br />How long will you wait for this person to be the person that you want? How much BS are you willing to put up with? How long will you wait on the divorce, some respect, or even a phone call? We all have our tipping points...our pt when we say enough is enough and we keep it moving. Sometimes this is a swift process and sometimes this can take forever. And you wish u can move on and sometimes ur in denial of thinking that u have moved on.<br /><br />Anyways...getting off topic (Was I ranting on about myself....hmmm). If a person hasn't called u back in say the usu 2-3 day grace period of giving out the phone number, then he/she's probably not that into u. I, personally, will forget a person in a wk's time..w/ no problem. Not even think twice about it...well maybe if the person was like a 12 on a 10 scale.<br /><br />I'm gonna tell you guys something that my girl told me. This breezy (Bay area word) was so harsh and she made me cry when she was brutally honest with me...I'm gonna share her "reality checking" words with u guys..<br /><br />Ok here goes....<br /><br />- "If he loved u he would change, so obviously he doesn't give a f***" <br /><br />- "He doesn't love u, he doesn't like u, and he could give a rats a** (I added that last bit)"<br /><br />- "Move on"<br /><br />Her telling me that worked..I figured why was I all sad and bent out of shape for someone who could care less. I'm the one stressed, My days r shitty, and he's the one going about his business having a great time.<br /><br />From the words of my friend J: "he's just not that into you" (said before the movie came out..lol)<br /><br />I'm gonna end with that...I'm sad all over againa_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-38036886704222054352009-02-21T09:33:00.000-08:002009-02-21T10:41:11.212-08:00Communication Technology: Friend or FoeSo, I've always thought that technology was the greatest thing in the world...and I still do, ummmm kinda sorta, sometimes. Anyway, the idea of living long enough for our world to merge with the Jetson's has always been a dream. I mean flying cars, messages sent over heliogram, and teleporting where ever you want to go. Sounds tight to me...we're not even close to that and I'm getting thoroughly annoyed with the communication devices we have now...<br /><br />Let me get to the issue at hand<br /><br />What is wrong with ppl text messaging like the verbal communication and actually seeing a person is a bad thing. Ppl have gotten so wrapped up in texting that refuse to talk on the phone and have full drawn out conversations over texting and it's quite annoying. I don't want a relationship that doesn't involve picking up the phone or a visit. <br /><br />-Telling a person you miss them over text is cute ONLY IF you say in person also.<br /><br />-Telling someone how they make you feel is <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> a text only event<br /><br />-Breaking up with someone is <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> a texting event (lol)<br /><br />-Trying to get the booty is <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> a texting event.<br /><br />Ppl need to grow up and get a life. Texting should not ever be your main form of communication I don't care how far your significant person or even friend lives from you. It is rude to limit that person to texting only.<br /><br />I think that it's sad that texting has allowed ppl to not conform issues or even to open up to ppl. Talking out your feelings and emotions is extremely important to grow as a person and a relationship and it would be a damn shame for ppl to use technology to substitute real life relations.<br /><br />If a person can only tell you something over text messaging then it has a great chance of being ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!!!a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-79940691876812759902009-02-08T19:43:00.000-08:002009-02-08T20:46:32.770-08:00Men!!! Here's a Clue...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDho9zld85mqXWFJTyZxejV6qraGf9sNpSfoj96qZLV2OHJfxgbBpvWdCt0BfxnQj_MFpjmsHmqL7mFw6zuDMmzBNCHAlLlmE4dIALvX-rtabw16xmUJLILb1Q6TV4SaAnbHQaicboP4/s1600-h/helping+hand.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDho9zld85mqXWFJTyZxejV6qraGf9sNpSfoj96qZLV2OHJfxgbBpvWdCt0BfxnQj_MFpjmsHmqL7mFw6zuDMmzBNCHAlLlmE4dIALvX-rtabw16xmUJLILb1Q6TV4SaAnbHQaicboP4/s400/helping+hand.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300653804009107538" /></a><br />After talking to many of my guy friends and my own rough (nice way of phrasing) experiences with men, I have realized that men really don't have a SINGLE clue about women. I mean this is 2009 and most men have had their mother's in their lives and still they are completely obvious. It simply amazes me. So, I'm gonna take this time to give men just a bit of help. I figure something is better than nothing.<br /><br />SO, here we go...men please pay attention and women please feel free to add anything that I may leave out.<br /><br />1) <span style="font-weight:bold;">If your interested in a woman, speak to her.</span> Don't send your boy, don't stare and yet say absolutely nothing, don't wait years wishing you had spoken, and if you did wait years u would find out she had a crush on u all along but was hoping that you would speak to her. (Whew.. a mouthful already!!)<br /><br />2) <span style="font-weight:bold;">Learn to be appreciative.</span> Remember that your not guaranteed anything and that everything she does for you is truly because she cares about u. As soon as she feels like your taking her kindness for a weakness she will stop doing what she does that you like "Oh so very much". Or if she starts to feel that you EXPECT her to do it, she will be irritated that you expect it. A simple "Baby, I really appreciate when you do...., ur amazing". LOL something like that. Appreciate how she turns heads, appreciate how she treats u, appreciate how she goes out of her way for u (when she doesn't have to), appreciate meals, appreciate presents, and appreciate that she's your girl AND NOT the next dude.<br /><br />3) <span style="font-weight:bold;">RESPECT HER!!!</span> I'm thinking this should've been first, but keep in mind this is in no order of importance...it's all important..lol. So, respect..so much could be said. Respect her how u would respect your mom or how u would want someone to treat your mother/sis/daughter. If you treat those ppl crappy, then in a realistic world, it's gonna be difficult for you to treat your woman any different..and you might need a bit of therapy...just a suggestion. Respect her time, respect body, respect her intellect (just a few)!!<br /><br />4)<span style="font-weight:bold;">Learn how to simply agree to keep the peace.</span><br />Ok..so women get frustrated, annoyed, bothered, sensitive (sometimes hypersensitive), irritated and sometimes we simply just don't want to be bothered..and it may seem that these all mean the same things, but for a woman it really does have very different meanings. I understand that for a man that this can be quite confusing and probably overwhelming at times. A piece of advice: agree without sounding like your patronizing her, apologize if your annoying her (remember she could simply be annoyed by your present or even just anyone's presence...sorry), <br />ask if she needs anything or if u can help in anyway, maybe buy her a massage or spa day (you can do this whenever, so this is not limited to these moments only), or just stay away, while reminding her your here for her. There you go men.<br /><br />5) <span style="font-weight:bold;">Take care of your woman.</span> When I say take care of your woman I don't mean you have to buy her crazy lavish gifts when u kno good and well ur on a tight budget. It means letting her know she's appreciated. This is a really big one men. I'm gonna try to break this down big time<br /><br />- A simple text/phone call (PHONE CALLS R USU BETTER):<br /> <br /> I was thinking about u.<br /> I saw something that reminded me of u<br /> I miss u<br /> I hope ur day is going great<br />FYI: if you do too much already over text then u need to stop, we need to take it old school..pick up the damn phone!!<br /><br />-Get her nails/hair done<br /> <br />-Dinner (at home or out)<br /><br />-A picnic<br /> <br />-Something unexpected <br /><br />-Something thoughtful: I will give an example of this. So one year for Valentine's my ex did something so amazing and extremely memorable. This was during track season and my coach wanted me to lose some weight, I had to cut back on sweets. So, for Valentine's day he made me a box of chocolate box (I hope that makes sense)..like a heart box out of cardboard box, spray painted it red and everything..it was huge, like half my body. It was so perfect and he filled it with track goodies: beef jerk (which I love for meets), all types of snacks, and a coloring book w/ crayons for traveling. It was amazing. I loved it and cherished it. It was by far better than any jewelry or anything else I have EVER received..it came from the heart...all mushy and stuff huh..lol<br /><br /><br />So, guys this was just a bit on insight....I hope that is was helpful. <span style="font-weight:bold;">REMEMBER MEN:</span> What you won't do, the next man will..Know when you have a Dime and Learn how to treat her/Keep her!! 80/20!!!<br /><br />Ladies like I said before feel free to add more. Men if you have more questions simply ask..MUAH!!a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-63283675258225320372009-02-05T19:31:00.000-08:002009-02-05T19:37:55.391-08:00My dreams Have been crashed!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJH8CIoVk3myibUv6YsSNw3jQ_4bL1DPBP0h9u6VvIYRRFhq-H1NmhK5ncpUZKCtrwXNg8AcQi5eVYXnApkPH40nN-4otWSUkA9cHsIBjB79wQ32DqhFO1PPtxIIQstF9g-VTMMkYSgDQ/s1600-h/Dwight+Howard.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJH8CIoVk3myibUv6YsSNw3jQ_4bL1DPBP0h9u6VvIYRRFhq-H1NmhK5ncpUZKCtrwXNg8AcQi5eVYXnApkPH40nN-4otWSUkA9cHsIBjB79wQ32DqhFO1PPtxIIQstF9g-VTMMkYSgDQ/s400/Dwight+Howard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299522708945290434" /></a><br />I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.

I was thinking that boy there seems to be a fine line between lust and love. I mean you feel all tingly all over, you love being around that person, and of course it's probably the best sex ever. <br /><br />The question becomes: is the sex making you feel all tingly all over or is it that you really love this person. Im of course not talking about myself...lol...remember I'm single now..lol.<br /><br />So of course I did some research of the real definition of the two from Answers.com: <br /> Lust: Intense or unrestrained sexual craving.<br /> Love: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.<br /><br /><br />I can see that a nice lengthy definition was given for love and surely not for lust. I'm sure that all of us have felt a bit of lust. I know I have...We all sinned in the eye's of God...lol<br /><br />How do we figure out the difference and act accordingly. Well, I've been trying to think of my own version of a definition for lust and love which would be clear and concise and hopefully we can all steer clear<br /><br />Lust: <br />1) if all u can think about is this other person's famous moves.<br />2) it's hard for u to think of this person outside of the bedroom (big prob)<br />3) the person can only be attentive when they're being pleased (bigger prob)<br /><br />Glad none of that has EVER happened to me<br /><br />Love:<br />1) you want so much for this person<br />2) you would put them before yourself<br />30 you think about this person, their well-being daily, and even their family<br /><br />I definitely had a bit of that..<br /><br />I think only time can really tell between the two. Oh once again we all have to be patient.a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-27478065660610126342009-02-03T20:59:00.000-08:002009-02-03T21:28:13.620-08:00Men Trouble<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Tk64pxRD3sFcfLXrN6VL4yjdutZeu8C6_f__jpYrxj_aKiWeX5HgTJoh1OGVzURMRKhrmYWNF2xB3DOjKrAmcrGZCiTZ2Ec-ginl0EETndAxeVkHs1xoLSoKF90WF-l_KNi1CzM-rhw/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Tk64pxRD3sFcfLXrN6VL4yjdutZeu8C6_f__jpYrxj_aKiWeX5HgTJoh1OGVzURMRKhrmYWNF2xB3DOjKrAmcrGZCiTZ2Ec-ginl0EETndAxeVkHs1xoLSoKF90WF-l_KNi1CzM-rhw/s400/8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298809761058233010" /></a><br />So...I know it's been a super long time. I've been debating writing about whats been on my mind, but whatever. So, I always want to write about men probs...lol. I just get so irritated with men. I could like slap all of them...<br /><br />So, I am recently single. No fault of my own..lol, at least I don't think so. I'm laughing when I write this, but I'm really serious. I've never read the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" or something like that, but I think I agree, because it seems like men are simply out of the loop about women. Like you would think that they never had a mother or a sister or anything...I mean damn...Goodness!!<br /><br />Whoa...I feel better already..<br /><br />So, my ex had the problems of being inconsiderate and rude. I don't believe he thought he was, but I've consulted with a few men and women and I'm pretty positive now..some situations were rude. I mean if someone is cooking u a meal out of the goodness of their heart, you shut up and eat..then later make suggestions...<br /><br />BTW my cooking is freaking gourmet and I don't want this to be mistaken as me not being able to throw down. <br /><br />But anyway that is over....Which leads me to another whole can of worms....<br /><br />How do you get over an ex??<br /><br />I mean there are sooo many things that have been suggested like dating, take a break, deleting numbers and all form of communication (which I do), but which one really works??? I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I'll be good for like a couple of wks then he will re-surface and mess everything all up...I felt like I was in "2 Can Play that Game" and he did the whole transference of energy shit on me..lol. Back to the drawing board!!!<br /><br />My girl told me something so helpful..."If he loved you, he would change...since He hasn't change then there's your answer."<br /><br />Such a harsh reality....<br /><br />But I wanna put this out there since my birthday is coming up on Feb 16...I'm being perfectly clear...but anyways..I want <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dwight Howard</span> for my birthday...AND I accept birthday presents year around so don't feel bad if you miss the exact day..<br /><br /><br />MUAH!!!!

Like should you be dating like over a year before you fall in love? And is there a such thing as love at first sight? <br /><br />I was just wondering because I have always been a person that gets emotionally attached to guys too fast. I have always found it difficult to follow a certain protocol as to when something should be done. Oh, I shouldn't cook for a man until he deserves me to do it. Or even how soon is appropriate to have sex for the first time. I usually just go with my flow. Sure I've been hurt numerous times along the way, but I always figured that I wasn't the one with the problem. And eventually God would send someone my way who appreciated me going out of my way. I like to cook, clean, take care of my man, take care of myself, etc...And in the past men have all taken it for granted.<br /><br />I do believe that this time around I have found a good one. He is very mature and has his shit in order. No kids, a great job that isn't in danger of disappearing due to current layoffs in the economy, and he had never been married...oh yea has his own house. That is a little too good to be sure, I'm sure everyone is thinking. Shit my mom and I was thinking the exact same thing. I haven't found any major problems. He does have a trust issue we're working on due to his ex, but so far so good.<br /><br />I feel like I have been living in fast forward for so long, and now I get to slow down. Who knows maybe you guys will see me with a big belly in about 1yr.

We went on 2 dates nothing major, I was feeling him, but something that he did in his past really weighed on my mind. We first started talking in early spring, but I disappeared. I moved back home and hit him back to see how he had been. Why he got married. He knew the girl for only a few months and now he was on a date with me, obviously things weren't going well. The rationale behind it was that they wanted to live together and she wouldn't unless they were married, so he figured what the hell. That I could believe it. I was in denial for a hot minute. I thought he was play with me. I had to tell him that he wasnt very funny and he needed to stop immediately..HA HA u need to stop. So, I saw him about 2 more times. All a while I couldn't get past the fact he married. He got divorce, or I guess that would be an annulment from his newlywed wife. <br /><br />I stopped talking to him like I started out with. I couldn't get past his view of marriage. Obviously, he didn't regard it as being too important. SO, what I really am trying to get to is that he send me a text talking about, "when I (me) said that we met for a reason, what was that?"<br /><br />I simply feel like God brings people into our live for various reasons. I feel that we should learn something from every person that comes into our lives, rather they are around for 1 season or many seasons. And it's up to each of us to decipher what the moral of the story is of each encountera_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-27179116826160653402008-10-15T20:32:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:05:19.104-07:00How to Handle Everyone and Everything!!!

I know that is a strong and straightforward statement...but I really want to know. I feel so overwhelmed and stressed and worried and so many other emotions I simply don't know what to do. <br /> <br />SO I will just tell everyone what is going on. I moved back home to live with my mom when I moved back from Florida. And two weeks later she founded out she had breast cancer. She cried everyday. And all I could do is tell her everything would be ok. She would cry so hard...to the point of almost choking...and drinking and cry more.<br /><br />All I could do is hold her and tell her that everything happens for a reason. My mom smoked cigarettes for over 30yrs. I simply tell her that God gave her something that could be replaced..boobs r replaced..but lungs aren't. I know that is a hard way to look at things, but is simply the truth. <br /><br />My mom has had one of her breast removed and was told that she wouldnt need Chemo. Its been hard right now. I've been taking her to her doctor appointments. And of course keeping the Dr.'s on their toes...lol, but today we found out she will need Chemo and she will now have to get cut on again..<br /><br />We found out she really did have Cancer..before they said she had pre-cancer. <br /><br />I am going crazy right now. I am working alot trying to gather up more clientele for my personal training and I have started my LSAT Kaplan course which is 12hr of class time and about 20hrs outside of class.<br /><br />I am trying to balance my girlfriends stress with their men problems and school concerns and I am getting thoroughly exhausted. I feel like people get so wrapped up in their lives they don't realize the stress that others maybe feeling. I try to be extremely attentive to my friends and family. And to give advice and a good ear to all. Sometimes it feels like I can't get in how I'm feeling. I can't talk to my mom about this. She seems so sad and rightfully so.<br /><br />SO to my readers...how should I deal with all of this. I want to do well in my Kaplan course so that I score well on the LSAT and get into a good law school. I want to be everything my mom needs me to be to help her get through this. And I want to be there for my girlfriends.<br /><br />I dont know what to do...<br /><br />I WANT TO CRY BUT SIMPLY CANT!!!a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-92201916245971229182008-10-03T11:29:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:04:34.582-07:00Ridiculous Bailout Plan!!!

I mean I'm like fuming over here. This shit is outrageous. Why am I going to be paying to bailout ppl on Wall Street when I can't bail out my damn self. I'm one of many Americans that are struggling and hella broke. I don't have any government intervention to help me out. SO, since the government is giving these banks money to help them, does that mean that I will be able to get a loan?? Hell no...I've been forced to used credit cards to live off of since the job market is so shitty!!<br /><br />My irritation is just off the charts. If my taxes are going to be risen then can it be done for me. I want to bail myself out. And Wall Street should have been forced to bail itself out. All of these ppl are making huge salaries, and they're salaries should have been used to fix this. <br /><br />Can I get some Universal Health Care..Can they put more money into Education, instead of cutting it every time I turn around..Can teachers get paid more...Can money go back into music and art...Can money go into children's physical education (since obesity is on a constant rise)<br /><br />It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this government is run by corruption. The Rich is looking out for the the Rich. And everyone else is forced to find some wealthy person's bootstraps to hold on to!!!<br /><br />Simply Ridiculousa_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-64362562876274691062008-10-01T15:19:00.000-07:002008-10-01T15:21:04.578-07:00The boyfriend every girl would want (From friend Diana, I loved this)NO!

My girl sent me this because she thought I would find this interesting...and of course I did. So, basically this article explains why career women are single. It says that successful women are single because they are perceived to either not need a man due to their success or simply because they are waiting for someone who is on their level.<br /><br />I definitely agree with this. Women out number men, I believe 51%-49% in this country. Not to mention we live longer. So, of the 49% of men in this country, it seems that the gay population is ever growing (seems like that, but who knows), then you add in unemployed, under-employed, uneducated, or in jail...after all of that no wonder educated women can't find a man...shit I bet regular women can't either.<br /><br />Do I feel that men feel inferior??? Maybe to a degree. I try to steer clear of a men like that. I make sure that I make that crystal clear. I have a fairly strong personality and I figure that if you can't handle my personality then maybe u should kick rocks. I definitely don't want a man that I can push around..lol<br /><br />But in general I have come in contact with men that appreciate an educated woman, but they are also educated themselves. And they would have it no other way, but I have also had my share of idiots. I have had someone say "why do I need to be educated...shit I'm already making millions playing football?"...I will leave this person's name out..<br /><br />But tell me what you think. Men are u intimated by a strong women? Do u prefer an ignorant woman (pet/puppet) that does your every will...<br /><br />Don't be afraid..you can be anonymous....lol<br />Weight in...a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578014579420868096.post-77788822416992955092008-09-23T18:12:00.000-07:002008-09-23T18:38:38.768-07:00"I Don't Date Dark-Skinned Women" --- ???So, the other day, my girl and I was talking and she told me that a guy told her that he doesn't date dark skin women. I found this to be crazy. What is wrong with these men??<br /><br />I have seen this type of behavior before personally when it comes to hair length. But my question is should this simply be called preference?? I mean this definitely seems to be a bit of self hate, as my girl J put it. The interesting thing is that mostly dark skin guys, from my experience, are the ones saying this ridiculous stuff.<br /><br />Next question: if I say that I don't date fat men, am I discriminating?? Or is that just considered normal? Or if someone says that they don't date skinny girls??<br /><br />My friend's experience of just one of the sort I have heard recently. I have had guys tell me also they don't date dark skinned women and I found myself thinking they were extremely ignorant and was reminded of the profound reminisce from slavery when the slaves treated lighter slaves better than the darker ones.<br /><br />I don't know maybe I'm over thinking this one?

guys at? And if we knew a good one could we spot him? I definitely don't know. I had a good one and moved and didn't know when I would return. I returned sooner than later. So, does that mean we should automatically get back together? I don't necessarily think that is the case. If you were in love back then, does that automatically mean that as soon as you see that person your going to fall back madly in love with this person??

I mean does a light suddenly click in your head or you have a sudden awakening? I mean I've been doing track and field all my life. It's all I've known for the past 10yrs or so. I've run professionally for 3yrs. Its been quite challenging financially and I've lost the love for it. I've always wanted to help people and wanted to go to law school to work at the United Nations.<br /><br />So why is saying goodbye to track so difficult? I wonder if I am thinking about what other people may said about me calling it quits. But I don't believe I am. And of course everyone has an option on the matter. Some people say, "Can you live with this decision?" and others say "Good, go for it!"<br /><br />Well, I think its time to call it quits. I have just been doing personal training at a gym. This has allowed me to keep my passion for people's health and awareness. So, that has been great!!<br /><br />And I've been doing some research for different law schools. This process makes me so nervous. I'm guessing this is how people usually feel when they embark on a new quest in life. It's been super exciting. I have started applications for over 10 schools so far. And now enrolled in a Kaplan LSAT course. It's unbelievable how much they charge for those things. I mean $1299-$1499 for course classes. Ridiculous...Oh the price of the HOPE for success (hopefully that makes sense).<br /><br />Maybe I am so nervous and that is why I am debating quitting track? Maybe this is to be expected? I really don't know. I guess I will find out..<br /><br />What do you think??a_nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190808823522231518noreply@blogger.com4
