Chi City Mayne!

Ok, I just love this guy! He is hilarious and I told some of you about him but here is your op to be the judge for yourself. Check out his other vids...of course I've seen most of them...ENJOY!

Currently Reading: The Assassination of the Black Male Image

This book written by Earl Ofari Hutchinson in the 90's but is still somewhat relevant today. Earl clearly has all these emotions balled up and is releasing them (more like lashing out) in this novel. I can honestly say that even though what he is saying comes off a bit harsh (or real if you would) its SOO true!
Some of you may be wondering why am I reading this book but, I think it helps put several things into perspective!

Today, unlike 1995, Black men aren't seen as a threat to society as much but racism is still prevalent in our communities! Maybe now Barack Obama is president, people will stop trying to make it seem like black men are the only race of men committing all the crimes in our neighborhoods!

I can go on and on about this (I know, I know) but I really want to say that black women (some of course not all) have adopted the same ideas about back men that the media has. Part of it is the media's fault but lets stand behind our men ladies... and men, black men, give us a reason to stand behind you! Please!

(I'm going to be blogging about several books in the upcoming months... I bought like a MILLION books and been trying to catch up on any and EVERY book I've ever said I wanted to read)

Coming soon...Rich Dad, Poor Dad (read this book and you will understand my next big and upcoming project). Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous (looooves it!) And Your Best Life Now!

As most of you already know, I'm moving...

...To Virginia/ DC (well I'll be living in Virginia and working in DC)!!!! Woohoo! President Barack Obama (i just love the way that sounds) said we needed a change right? lol....whether you like it or not, next week I will be moving to VIRGINIA! I don't intend on coming back! I am sooo excited! Lately, A LOT of people have been asking me why I decided to move. My answer to them has been why not? I have been blessed and presented me with the opportunity of a LIFETIME! Besides, I'm a recent college grad, no commitments, (at least none good enough to make me stay) and no children!

Sooo...yeah pretty much I'm excited and I will keep you guys posted in the weeks ahead...in the meantime, I have some serious business to take care of. But since I don't know how to take my butt to bed at a decent hour...I'll post some more stuff tonight (or next week depending on if I finish)

Being selfish is not always a bad thing...????

Could this be true....Potentially... Something new I'm trying. Normal people call it selfish. From what I understand, selfish is being concerned about yourself and you needs and wants before ANYone else...HA! As funny as that is to me, I think that is going to be my new approach for a while.
Lately, I haven't really felt like myself. To be honest, I have been worrying about so much stuff, that it keeps me up at night (obviously lol). So I decided that it was time for me to take a short hiatus... nothing personal against anyone but since I'm so use to being "there" for everyone else I am going to see how it works to be "here" for myself.

Why the hiatus? Well, i think I just need a break from anything that I feel does not help me get out of the situation I am in right now (goes faaarr beyond the fact that I don't have a JOB, although that's a huge chunk). I'm not running away from my problems, I'm solving them which includes my hiatus from those who try so hard to be my friend that they forget to actually be one!!!! Most importantly, I am kind of sick of "trying" to explain how hard I am "trying"...why waste that time explaining when I could actually spending that time "trying"? (think about that one)

There is no doubt that I love everyone in my life but sometime you have to do what is best for YOU! Sooo, in the meantime....I'm back to trying...this selfishness actually is not all that bad...

LOL ok ok I must admit, I know that is contradictory to what I believe (Jesus would never act like that!) But i think that shows just how human I am....my needs and wants right now are most important to me now because they haven't been in a while and I think I need to take a step back and figure out what I need!
...more to come...

Just a side note...

I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American! I want to congratulate MY President Barack Obama and his family! Change has come...things can only get better from here....

The way you do ANYTHING is the way you do EVERYTHING!

So, I have not been on here in almost a year but a lot has changes since I've last made a post. I pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha last Spring (the real reason I stopped because I did not have time) then I graduated from SHSU (thank you Jesus, a sista is educated) this past fall 2008 semester. So life has changed so much in a year for me. Oddly enough, even with a degree and being in the most prestigious African American Sorority, some things just simply haven't changed. Over the past year so many things have changed but my relationship with certain people have not...why? All the knowledge I've acquired over the past years and I have yet to apply it to my life! One day, I want to wake up, go to church, listen to a message, and actually feel like I'm dong things the right way, instead of feeling like i need to make major changes or adjustments. Unitl then, I decided that if I am going to be great in some things, I should be great in all things.

Pastor J, from Higher Dimension Church spoke this past Sunday about discipline. In order for me to achieve my goals these next few months, I need some discipline! There are sooo many things I want to do ( I know, I know but I can't reveal all my secrets lol). He also spoke about "the way you do anything is the way you do everything". So what I got out of that is if I half ass (oops sorry lol) a few things in my life, I would feel like I can do that with everything. Or if I cheat my way out of school, I'll cheat my way out of every situation that arises. FYI: NOT the life I'm trying to lead!

So, I think Im back to blogging for a while, I have soo much to talk about and sometimes its hard to find someone to JUST LISTEN!
