Thanksgiving went by too fast...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey people out there?!
I know it's been a long time since I've wrote and wow, I need to get better on that. It's just a lot has been going on in my life lately. Nothing is a big wake up call than seeing one of your favorite sites who USE TO have you as a affiliate take you off. Ouch. Well, I guess I gotta move on, eh?
On other news, Thanksgiving just passed and it was WONDERFUL! It was great seeing my family and a few friends. One of my close friends came back from the military (National Guards). Always good seeing him. I was going to make a pie for everyone but that whole idea just went wrong. My mom used one of my ingredients for my pie and I didn't feel like going to the store. :( I went to the aunt's house just to miss most of the food and to sit in the dark for 30 mins. Yay! After that, went to a club my dad DJ's at. Nobody was there but us and a two or three couples. It was ok, though. We didn't expect there to be that many people anyway. Then I had to go home because I had to work on Black Friday (which was a big flop) and I had to bring home a plate for someone who had to work on Thanksgiving day. :( Today, I'm going to work...Oh yea, I got a job! Did I mention that?! I been there for 3 weeks now. It's ok. It's a job. The people are cool, I suppose. lol. I don't know everyone just yet. I just remembered I had a paper due Sunday...UGH! I need to start on that. I hate when teachers give you an assignment during Thanksgiving break! Like you're really going to want to do it! Hmmm...
Did I mention that this Black Friday was one of the saddest ones? It was like no rush anywhere, not really crowded anywhere you went and there was parking at the malls!! What is going on?
Lately, I been listening to other types of music besides the usual R&B and some Hip Hop. Hip Hop and R&B are really starting to sound a lot alike and is really boring me. (to death) It's to the point where I cringe when I hear it. ugh. You know if you hear a song you hate so much, you get that annoyed feel and cringe or something? Yeah, something like that. So...yeah, seeing what's on the other side. I been listening to oldies but I'm checking them out again too. :)
well, I have to get ready to go to work. That sounds funny with me saying that. I got so use to not having a job, it's just weird saying that. haha.
Til next time!
Love one another ....and don't backstab people who are there for you for people you don't know.

I hate being short

So, most people I meet in person either notice one of the three things about me: My smile, my personality and my height. I usually don't wear shoes that give me an extra boost and maybe I should...but that would be cutting into my beliefs again "false advertising". LOL!
Particularly today, I feel like my height has screwed me over again for success when I opened an email seeing that there was a fashion show coming up. NOT just any fashion show...the Victoria Secret Fashion Show! They are looking for models to be on it. It's a once in a lifetime chance to do this (so they say). What are the requirements? You have to be a female, live in America, 18-30 years old, can be in NY between Oct30-Dec3, and must be 5'8 in height bare feet. I am only 5'4 and 3 quarters. Ugh...it's not fair. But I'm not gonna give up. Eventually, something will come around for me, hopefully before I'm 30.
Today is a gray cloudy rainy-like looking day. I got out of the shower to hear the ice cream truck's little music. So, obviously he was making his rounds. One thing is,why today? Of all days. I haven't heard from him in like 3 weeks and now today!? How did he even get in the neighborhood!? I been trying to get some ice cream from him since I first seen him in the neighborhood...but I can't seem to catch him. One day I will...One day.
I start back school tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to that at all. I guess so I can finish but waking up at 7am...it's got to be a better way!! Hopefully I'll do well this quarter and make it threw with flying colors. Wish me luck. :)
I guess I'm gonna go now. I been trying to do my hair all day! I don't know what to do with it though...
Love hard and play hard
Til next time

October is for pink

Hey everybody!!
Yesterday was October the first and also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! So, if you know someone who's had, has or is no longer here because of it, be sure to honor those people and take time to appreciate them! Girls, you aren't too young to get breast cancer! I learned that the hard way. (I do not have breast cancer) I did have a dear friend/roommate who passed away last year from it. My grandmother also passed from it. If you ever get the chance, donate a $1 to the Susan G. Korman foundation. I do whenever I can. My debit card even sports the logo. It's for a good cause.
RIP Grandma and RIP Tippy.

Live as though it's your last (sort of speak)
Til next time.

Roses?

So, today while I was out running erruns and such, I found a rose next to my car on the passenger side. I don't know if it was there before and I didn't notice it...but there it was. One single yellow rose. It kinda was dehydrated... maybe it was out in the sun too long. who knows? Well, I picked it up and put it in my car. Maybe it's a sign or something or good luck or something. I don't know. It was kinda weird though. (thanks?)
"Something always brings me back to you, it never takes too long..." I had this song in my head all frickin' day!!! Ugh!! I need to get it somehow... It sucks being broke, people. Keep your job, even if you hate it! And if you get offered something better, keep the old one because you might get screwed over with the new one. Take advice from a pro...
I know this is really odd, but I didn't just want to talk about the the darn rose and that's it...But I guess that's exactly what I'm gonna do because I have nothing else to say.

Stay true til next time!

Kinda Odd...

Ok, some of you may have seen this before and I apologize, but this is the first time I ever seen this. It kinda caught me off guard. (a lot) The guy in the drawn picture kind of looks like the guy who's broadcasting this news segment. If it is him, that's messed up and funny as hell at the same time!! XD The way he's looking too is just...priceless!! Ha! I'm sorry dude. I have GOT to find the back story behind this.

OK, enough with my randomness for now. I'll be back...

Til next time. Live sweet.

UP DAMN DATE: I noticed you can't see the hand drawn pic on the side...due to this pic being kinda big. I'm not at my computer at the moment, so I can't make any changes....I also don't have the program(s) on my computer to do so. So just use your imagination for me...just this once.

This is what staying up late does to me....

*warning: very random rants*

Hello people...those of you who still read. I know I been slacking. You don't even wanna know. It's late at night and I'm drinking some cocoa (which isn't bad even though it's made with water) and trying to put myself to sleep. I'm visiting my mom again before I have to go back to school and also have a doctor's appointment. (Don't worry, I'm ok) I haven't been sleeping at night now a days. I guess back to my old routines, ay? Ugh... Anyway, some random thoughts came to mind and I decided, "Hey! Since you're up at like 3:40am and have nothing else better to do with your life, write a blog post about random thoughts!" (yeah...isn't that why I started this thing in the first place?)
A while back after I saw the movie Inglorious Bastards (which was pretty great-lots of talking though. :P) A thought came to mind- Hitler. Why the f*** does this man only like blond hair/blue eyes when his own damn hair and eyes are dark (brown?) ??? This man is nuts!!! Shouldn't his own troops turn against him?! You would think... I wonder sometimes what is so perfect about that combination? I mean, it's ok (I'm not just saying this because I'm black) but gray eyes are cool. Green...brown...hazel! :) And hair color...I personally like white/gray hair. Yea yea, weird. I know. I can clearly see that this man didn't want any diversity in his life or anyone elses. Think about it. If everyone look the damn same, nobody wouldn't be special. Where's the fun in that? Can you imagine getting robbed and going down to the police station and they ask you for a discription of who robbed you and the only thing you could say, "well, he had blond hair, blue eyes....and he was a man..." Wow! Great discription, sunshine. Well, I'm glad it isn't like that...anymore. Besides, it seem to be more common that there are more dark haired people all over the place. Dark is dominate, so I heard.


Ok, off that subject. I was surfing the web the other night and I ran into this very stupid looking movie that I just had to say something about. It's called The Hottie and The Nottie!
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! (sorry, you have to curse for that) It stars Paris Hilton. It's about some guy who tries to get with Paris,who he fell in love with since childhood but he couldn't woo her because her ugly friend or something...I didn't care to read the rest of the details. Is this what we are aiming for, parents?! Come on now. Paris Hilton has blond hair and blue eyes. This other girl that's suppose to be her "less fortunate friend" has brown hair and brown eyes...with glasses. First off, what's wrong with that?? They put the girl on a one piece bathing suit and Paris on a two piece bikini. Are they trying to tell you something? All I have to do to be hot is to put on a bikini and die my hair blond?! (that probably wouldn't work for me, but dammit.) Will I watch this movie!? NO! I won't even look at the preview. What for!? So my brain cells will continue to deplete more with nonesense?!
UPDATE I just watched the damn trailer. I think I hate it even more now....


I been listening to Sara Bareilles lately. The 3 songs I heard besides her hit single, Love Song, are actually pretty good. I'm impressed. I think I will probably have to get that album. And also another good album is Mayer Hawthorne, which I didn't really know anything about this guy. He just seem to come out of nowhere but I was told I should listen to him. (thanks, nappyafro.com) Glad I did. Good stuff.

I hear starbucks is making those little instant coffee packs. Ok, that's cool for those who needs some quick coffee, but for some reason, I never was able to trust coffee that desolves in the water...that's like drinking tea leaves in your water...ewwwwwwww!! The article I read about it was saying it was more popular overseas...not too much here in America. Why am I not surprised? Ugh... I don't know... I like to see how well this is going to play out. They already started making those coffee filter things. It's like a flat disc of coffee for single serving usage. Seems like a good idea, but only works in special kinds of coffee makers. Genius idea! (Why did I pick a picture with Hillary Clinton on it?)

Well, I'm gonna take it into bed now. Take care, peoples. with love.
Til next time...

Back and not impressed.

OK, I know it's been a while. I've gotten to the point where I post like once a month. I'm sorry. I've seem to lost touch with the internet world or just the world period. I guess now a days, I don't really know what to write a blog about. A few friends of mine who reads my blog tells me that I'm really random and I need more subjects...I guess. I thought I was doing fine. I'll work on that! :)
Funny thing, I started on this particular blog about 2 weeks ago and here I am today, just now finishing it. Ugh. lol Anyway, What's the new? Well, I still don't have a job. It's getting really stressful. I find myself with frequent headaches and depressed. Good and bad, I'm still at school. Not to long til I graduate out into the real world and wonder, what's next? Not really looking forward to that. Of course, like a bunch of you I'm sure, watched the MTV music awards last night. It was OK, but I had a few problems with it.
1) What in the world was Lady Gaga wearing?! She changed her outfit up every time someone got up on stage. And it wasn't a better outfit. Plus this was the first time I seen her perform live. She sung pretty good live but man, what kind of performance was that?!
2) The BIG story is Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift's speech. Come on Kanye. Again?! Are you EVER satisfied? He's making all the stereotypes about people of color...true. I guess back to sitting in the back, right?
3) The host! I forgot his name and really don't feel like looking all over the internet for it. He was the host last year. He's OK but he's kinda annoying. And seems to try too hard. I don't know...maybe I'm hating.
4) Why does eminem always looks geeked up or mad all the time? It's like his face is permanently stuck that way. After he kicked the drugs, we saw his real face. Wow...seems it had an backwards effect on him. I wonder what drugs would do to my face?
5) The Michael Jackson Tribute. It was WAY better than the one BET call themselves doing. I mean, I never heard Janet sing live before...and I kinda wish she stuck to her auto tuning lip syncing. But the performance was great! :) RIP Michael.
I guess that's all my complaints. I probably missed some of it due to some technical difficulties.
Anyway, It's a lazy Monday...I'm getting sleepy. I will return sooner than next month. Promise. If you're still here reading, my bad. I'll try to stop having a ton of gaps. Bad me!
Be good to your love ones.
til next time!
