Success


Today has been a day of success..not in the way of me actually gettin something done cause im def. bein a lazy bum right now but in the manner that I have heard all about the progressive steps people are making towards achieving their goals..and thats wassup. You dont get days like this everyday..usually its the same ol, nothing's changed, or worst..bad news. But not today, today is one of those days that make you evaluate where you are at in your plan for success and make sure that your moving foward as well. To begin, one of my peoples that i have known since the day i set foot in college let me kno he is on his way back to doin his thing education wise and getting back into school by jan...thats hot cause the way college is now a days, it takes so much just to step foot in there. The outrageous tuition is enough to make you close the school broshure and open the classified pages. So im happy for him cause education is always a good thing no matter what people think. Moving on, my homegirl who i have spent many a day complaining about the world and boys to found out she will be teaching this fall. Thats wonderful esp. since she is going down the same career road as me: being a teacher, so u kno i was souped for her. All of this made me think about how people accomplish what they deem important. Success is not a race. For some its full speed ahead on the first thing smokin, for others a steady speed limit, and even for some a tortoise speed but hey the tortoise did end up beatin the hare so that speed aint too bad either. It all depends on the individual and their life the way i see it. If you can be a the ruler of the universe in 10 years thats wassup, if you can do it in 8 even better but it doesnt matter cause we both wearing crowns at the end of the day. So who cares, we should be proud of one another's success and cheer each other on. Yea thats in that so called perfect world but we all kno people arent like that but the way i see it (hence my blog title) im not worried about how everyone else feels, i kno im proud of my success and anyone else, whether i kno them or not, that are doin big things. We are all gonna have those moments of jealousy, envy, and whatever ugly emotion you can think of sometimes cause shoot were human but you aint gotta make it a habit...at least i try not to. So if u doin big things, movin in the right direction, accomplishing whatever your tryin to accomplish, u get a big "carlton from fresh prince" high five from me soo keep striving cause i kno i am :), lets be each other's personal cheering squads and give a lil support nah mean...ok ok enuff of my "save the world, lets all hold hands across the world" speech lol but u get what im sayin

luv ya's

Sippin' on the Good Stuff


Soooo today (ok like last week but im finishing it today) in the midst of the boredom I call work, I came up with the perfect subject for my blog (thanks to racey)...Drinking. And im not talking about no soda, slurpi, or koolaid (well unless urs is laced with a lil bacardi), im talkin about that liquor..the good stuff. My thoughts on this all goes back to this weekend when I was sippin on that Hennessey all sat. night. Ive never really had straight up shots or big cups with small amounts of henni in them before. At least not to my knowlege but who knows i could be wrong. Anyway, so as i am starring down at my shotful of henni, i think to myself maybe i should mix it with something..u kno cause that seemed like the responsible thing to do..even tho i recall now that I had not eaten yet. So i ask if theres anything to mix it with and theres not so the decision now is, am i gonna take it straight to the head or am i gonna put my glass down and continue to watch the rerun of project runway. So you know what i did...held my breathe, asked myself why heidi klum had them making dresses out of garbage, and downed that sucker. It..was...Terrible! And i still had some left so I did the good ol trick of holding my breath as i took another sip...that worked much better. When i exhaled all i felt was the alcohol making its way down my digestive track. I look over and see mr. everyready himself, sippin on the henni like we are on a beach in San Tropez and the waitress just passed him one of those pretty drinks with umbrellas in it. I looked at him laughed then looked back in my glass and finished my beverage...I started feeling great truth be told, it was like the liquor instantly went right to the part of my brain labeled "feel good"...and u better believe i definately did. Do you want another glass?? Affirmative, i laid back, sipped the strong brown substance and was straight chillin. I wouldnt say i was completely drunk but I wasnt tryin to operate any heavy machinery either. I went from chatterbox to super energized to im tryin to fall back and be one with this ol school pound puppy blanket(ima steal that blanket one day race watch lol..just kiddin..maybe). It was a good day to say the least. And it made me think about the effects of alcohol (wow sounded so public service announcement "ish") and how it changes with the different environment your in. For me in this case, I was just relaxed havin a good time spendin quality time but you best believe if it was me up in da club the min. after i took that shot, id be dancing like one of beyonce's backup dancers. Yup its funny how your effect to alcohol all depends on where your at...are you gonna be in the mood? ready to dance and act like a hooch? only be thinking about laying a deeper inprint into ya couch? in deep thought? not moving from that park bench? Or gonna become the walking truth to any question asked of you?...who knows, maybe one, maybe them all but who cares cause drinking's fun and life is too short sooo be good to your liver and kidneys, drink in moderation, and always tap that bottle before you crack it open....

CHEERS ;)

The End of A Career


So today I was chillin at work doin my regular thing....myspace, searching threw my fav. blogs, email, bla bla and i ran across the new video for Beyonce...the video is for her NEW song "Ring the Alarm". Folks, when I tell you I almost dropped my mouse watching this, it was no lie. I was so shocked that I had to consult my sidekick jujubee for input. I told him beware because you are about to see three mins. of shock, anguish, and surprise...basically its three mins. of watching Beyonce's career go down the drain. Its a terrible song and I should be just as mad as her in the video for subjecting me to something so crazy and ridiculous. I must admit i heard this song on the radio a week ago and I wasnt really feeling it back then either. It sounded like noise to me with sirens in the background, I thought it was a joke when the DJ said "new beyonce, new beyonce". I guess its her way of changing things up, giving her a new "look", making things fresh but all i see is a crazed woman that makes me wonder is this the same girl who did "Crazy in Love"?? Where was Jigga when they decided on this song as the next single??

Well here it is...brace yourself

It's a Student's Life

I am UTTERLY exhausted today...extremely. I sitting her at work just thinkin to myself how i could just pass out in front of this computer as im typing. I mean im so tired its crazy. So you kno its gonna be one of those days where you drag alot, tired as ever..u kno how it is. I decided to check up on my listmania on amazon. Yea i have a long list of some of the books that i have read and highly recommend or not recommend..you should check it. If you wanna know that name of my list, leave a comment and i shall tell ;) Anyway, I counted that in the last two months, I have read eighteen books, thats deep right? I mean i guess reading is fun and fundamental when its something you actually wanna read. On the other hand, I have this book i have to read for school thats coming up in the next three weeks. I kinda feel outraged about it cause I feel like why am i reading a book for school in the summer. This is not sixth grade..i shouldnt have summer book reports. I am in college and i paid a good amount to be here but whatever, cant do a damn thing about it. Ill tell you one thing tho, i am dragging threw this book...turning one page in the book feels like im flipping over rocks. Its so endless, so annoying, and it makes me just hate reading. So i am gonna rely on my powers of procrastination and just wait till its like two weeks before school, speed read threw that bitch, curse up a storm while im writing a paper at the last min., and keep it moving. I dont even kno why im fooling myself into thinking im gonna be a "good" student, read beforehand and get it out the way. Nope thats not me, I cant do it...i need to FEEL the pressure. Its a student's life i guess. Anyways i just felt like sharing some of my struggles and sleep deprivations with you..ill holla peace
