EAT PRAY LOVE

Hey World!!!

I know I havent blogged in a hot minute, but hey, better late than never again right? A lot has gone on, so let me just stick to the present.

I just finished watching Eat Pray Love, and I feel... Let's just say watching Eat Pray Love kinda made me face some truths and inner feelings about where Im at right now... For a while now, since I've been in college... second semester actually.... I've just been feeling REALLY good..... Really REALLY good.... Even to this day... But today... particularly this afternoon, Ive just been feeling tense... different emotions running through me.... I put those emotions off and hung out with my aunt.... Emotions intensified as we caught up on life... She made me question some feelings Ive been denying and pushing under my emotional rug. I dont know what it was about today, but I ended up confronting some of those feelings.... I feel better.... But damn... I may need to give something up soon.... And for right now... Im okay with it.... which is really weird, but sometimes in life shit gets weird... Lol.

Now some of you might be wondering how all this ties into Eat Pray Love.... Well.... Watching EPL helped me reflect on certain things and helped me define what Eating, Praying, and Loving meant to me.... So here it goes...

EAT donuts... Lots and Lots of Plain Donuts... (Lol, yea I know Im fat) And learn how to cook more so I can EAT richly and save money

PRAY like you're always in sorrow... In other words, PRAY like each day was your last. Thank God (or god(s)) when things go right and ask for help when things go wrong.

LOVE even when it's not easy... This LOVE doesnt have to be romantic. Love is helping an old lady with her grocery bags because they are struggling... LOVE is giving a stranger a tissue when you see they need it... LOVE is giving and doing from your heart.

I want to continue to EAT, PRAY, and LOVE.... :-D

I know this may seem like an abrupt ending, but I think Im ready to go to bed... For all I know the way Im feeling now could be a passing feeling... I may wake up in the morning and wonder what the hell was I thinking.... But for now.... Im relishing in the feeling.... allowing myself to feel..... Something that many people dont do.... It feels good too... even when it hurts.... Anyway, Im babbling... Enjoy your Sunday everyone....

Be Blessed and make sure your Legacy is like no other. :-D

Question Answered

I've heard many people asked, "Why is it that women in relationships ask their SINGLE friends for relationship advice?" Well... I've pondered this question, and I think I've found the answer: The reason why women who are in a relationships ask their single friends for advice is because they are the only ppl available! Lol

I mean, think about it... Most people that are in relationships have their heads so far up each other's behind that you cant get in touch with them. And the ppl who are in relationships that are available are about to break up because they are either sick of each other, or sick of the bs in their relationship.

SOOooooo, will people like Michael Baisden, and his sidekick on his show PLEASE stop asking that question. The real question is why aren't couples sticking together to help each other out? Everybody wants to mind their own business and not get involved, which is understandable. However, if more couples opened up to other couples more, perhaps there would be less break ups and more make ups.

 Sometimes if people hear something from someone else, it will open their minds and change their hearts for the better, especially if it's from people they trust. But hey, what do I know? I'm thinking on my feet as I go, since there aren't many couple's that are role models in the world. (Why Did I Get Married 1&2 -_-, and the Cosby Show isn't enough). Lol

Anyway, I'm about to go to bed, so Be Blessed and make sure your LEGACY is like no other :-D

Here's an update...

Good evening bloggers,

  I have been trying to move this blog to Tumblr, but yea... mission failed. All of my friends who blog have tumblr, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. (Conformity is a bitch huh?). But since I dare to be different (and I cant figure out how to transfer this blog to Tumblr) I'm gonna stick with Blogspot. I put time and effort into this blog. The way I see it, it's an investment, so why should I give up on it? Besides, blogspot, in my opinion, is easier to manage.

I know I haven't been posting frequently so here's an update on what's been happening,
-I FINALLY have a laptop!
-I am on the Dean's List at my college! (YAY) :-D
-I am a radio personality at my college so hopefully I can record my air time and post it here!
-I am probably going to do TV with my dear friend, Anthony Hill, so be on the look out for that.

Well, I'm pretty tired now so I'm going to hit the hay.

Until my next post, Be Blessed, and make sure your Legacy is like no other. :-D

Friend's First

Evening everyone!

It's been a while since my last post, but I'm glad to give ya'll a piece of my thoughts yet again. I just came back home from college yesterday night, which was an adventure in itself, and now I'm just chillin' reading up on some celebrity news on different websites to keep myself updated for the radio show in January.

So as I am looking at one particular website, Sohh.com, I came across an article about Nelly and Ashanti. Nelly and Ashanti aren't "officially" a couple, but Nelly would like to marry her some day. One of the aspects of a relationship that Nelly touched on was how important it is to be friends before being romantically involved with someone. Now, there's nothing wrong with being friends first. However, since many people aren't friends before they are an item, what are those people suppose to do to make a relationship last besides having great sex?

No offense, but I'm sick of couples saying "we were friends first that's why things worked out so well...." when people ask them how they make their relationship work. They could at least be a little more creative with it. To all the couple's who were 'privelged' to be friends first, be a little more original with your responses when someone asks you about your relationship, or don't say anything at all. Besides, many people have said that dating a friend was a mistake! Why? Because being romantically involved either ruined their friendship, or made their relationship boring. So.... once again, how are the people who aren't friend's first suppose to make a relationship work......

Anyone..... Anyone.... (cricket) (cricket)

Well, I'm done ranting. Time to figure out what movie to watch for the night. Feel free to comment or email me.

Until my next post, Be Blessed and make sure your legacy is like no other.

O-M-G!!!!!!

O-M-G!!!!!

Listening to the conversation outside of my window is making me YEARN for college.
Some women, who is either joking or dead serious, claims to be some guy's 'ho. The guy continues to call her a 'hoe, and she proudly proclaims that she has pride in her pussy.... -_- Really??? She looks like she could be someone's mother, auntie, and nowadays, grandma. Smh. Terrible.

Last night some woman was yelling at her child, like the kid was some random dude on the street. "MUTHERFUCKER GO UPSTAIRS."
"MUTHERFUCKER STOP FUCKIN' CRYING"
"UUHHHH YOU GET ON MY FUCKIN' NERVES MAN"
"THE BABY ACTS BETTER THAN YOU, STOP FUCKIN' CRYING"

Mind you, the little boy is FIVE YEARS OLD!!!!! This is how parents lose their kids, and kids end up with emotional/behavioral issues. CPS anyone?

Besides the neighborhood bullshit, I'm just ready to get the hell outta here. Lol. Although I'm going to miss my mom's cooking and hanging out with my friends, there are a few things I'm DEFINITELY not gonna miss.

• Having my mother or grandmother waking me up in the morning. (I'm 18, I think I am old enough to know when to wake up or use an alarm clock.)
• People yelling, screaming, and talking loud outside at ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT!!!! (Like they are doing RIGHT NOW -_-)
• Being my parents personal slave. ('Nuff said)
•  
• Seeing the same people on the corner all the time!! (Do they have homes??!!)
•  
• Being in the Ville!
•  
• Being at my high school!!!
•  
• Paying $11.50 for a movie when it's $7 in my college town.
•  
• Paying $8 or more for the Chinese Restaurant to deliver when they'll deliver for $5 for my college!
•  
• Paying about $10.00 or more on laundry when it's FREE @ college. (Well, it's included in the tuition)
•  
• Telling my parents where I'm going, who I'm with, what I'm doing, and what time I'll be home. (-_-)
•  
• Having men, who are old enough to be my daddy, stare at me like I'm a piece of lemon cake.
•  
• Being at home doing nothing.

The list keeps going on and on, but ya'll catch my drift. I know there are some things I didn't mention so feel free to drop a comment about what you won't miss about home, or what you didn't miss about home when you were in college. or hell, just leave a comment. Lol

Well, it's getting late and The Real World is about to come on, so as always...

Until my next post, Be blessed and make sure your LEGACY is like no other.

Soundtrack of My Life

Good evening bloggers!!!

Recently, I've been listening to the radio more often. I'm studying up on what makes a good radio show so I can hopefully one day become a radio personality, among other things. Plus, that's my only source of entertainment at work other than my coworkers occasionally bantering back and forth. After listening to various radio shows for about 2 weeks straight I just have one question.....

Why is it that everybody and they mama wanna make a break up song when you and your significant other broke up or have recently broken up? Or better yet, why do old break up songs just so happen to play on the radio a little more often than normal after a break up? I don't understand it. It's like some magical music fairy flutters in and out of the lives of fans, then reports it to artists so they can make a song out of it. Give me a break!

And what makes it worse is that each song has a specific memory attached to it. You got the songs that remind you of the good times you and your ex had, the songs that remind you of why ya'll broke up in the first place, the songs you can picture him dedicating to you (good, bad, or indifferent), and the songs that help you heal when everything is said and done. It's as if suddenly the radio, or rather songs on the radio, become the soundtrack of your life. Coincidence? HA! I think not. -_-

I don't know about ya'll, but here's the current soundtrack of my life: (not in any particular order):

1. Fantasia- Bittersweet
2. Trey Songz- Can't Be Friends
3. Marques Houston- Circles
4. Chrisette Michele- Be Ok
5. Chrisette Michele- Porcelain Doll
6. Eminem Feat. Rhianna- Love the Way You Lie
7. Chris Brown- Deuces
8. Maguel feat. J Cole: All I Want Is You
9. Fantasia- Ain't Gone Beg 
10.  Fantasia- Free Yourself
11. Fantasia- Got Me Waiting
12. Trey Songz- Hatin' Love
13. Kelly Clarkson- Since You Been Gone
14. NeYo- Part of the List
15. NeYo- So You Can Cry
16. Tamia- Me
17. Ciara- So Hard
18. LL Cool J feat. Jennifer Lopez- All I Have
19. TLC- No Scrubs
20. Amerie- More than Love
21. Amerie- Why R U
22. Trey Songz- Neighbor's Know My Name
23. Beyonce- Halo
24. Jordin Sparks- Battlefield
25. Nicki Minaj- Good Love
26. Mary J. Blidge- Not Goin' Cry
27. Faith Evans- You Used to Love Me
28. Michael Jackson- Man in the Mirror

Some people may think that this post is pointless and insignificant, but I know I'm not the only one who feels like this. So feel free to add more songs to the list, or take it one step further and post the current soundtrack of your life.

Whether we all realize it or not, music can effect, inspire, and change people's lives. You don't know who's life you can help by adding songs to this list. Someone might read this post, download a song, and finally feel understood; finally feel like the pain or struggle they are going through isn't too much to bear.


Now, I know this might sound a little extreme, but you never know what's going on behind a person's smile, or in this case, email address/blog alias. 

Until my next post, Be Blessed and make sure your LEGACY is like no other.

The Highlight of My Day

Afternoon bloggers,

So, I'm @ work right, and my boss asked me to edit some papers for him. After I completed said task, I decided to browse twitter, even though I really don't see the point in twitter. The trending topic was #irememberwhen. As I read the responses, one post caught my attention, and had me crackin' up like I was at home watchin' Martin instead of in an office doing paperwork. This guy wrote

#irememberwhen I could call a girl precious without insulting her.

 LMFAO!!!! Who writes stuff like that?!

Although this is wrong on SOOO many different levels, it does have some truth to it. Plus it's funny as hell! LMAO (Sigh) It's a sad day when a comment on twitter is the highlight of my day. Smh. Bordem is a deadly sin. I can't wait to go back to college.

Well, just wanted to share that with you. If you have your own highlight of the day and would like to share, feel free to drop a comment.

Until my next post, Be Blessed and make sure your LEGACY is like no other. :-D
