CRAZY DAYS.....

Why is it Wednesday and I wish it was Friday already?? My best friend gets married on Saturday and this week is dragging a$$......some crazy mess has happened though, let me tell you. I get back from Austin this weekend, with the revelation that I need to start dating again, and my horoscope says to just chill and be the one that gets pursued.....by who? If you know him, tell me okay, bc down here...I got nothing:) My other friend, we will call her Kelly, found out that she was pregnant by her ex-boyfriend, who is still talking to his ex-girlfriend, who TOLD her that it was his mission to get her pregnant....by the way this is her second child. (which of these things does not go together, which of these things does not belong.) Not hating....just wanted to slap some sense into her ya know? But that would be wrong of me in "girlfriend" standards, so I gave her my regards, and told her if she needed me, I'm there......My male friend, we will call him Jack, is engaged, AGAIN. Mind you they have only been together for about 4 months....and I stress AGAIN bc the last time this dude got engaged, he walked in on his fiancee...doing some inappropriate things....and the engagement was called off. I just feel like he is just getting over the last brokenheart that he had and is searching for something false in this girl that he all of a sudden loves...mind you her reputation...isn't spotless to say the least. But I wish him the best of luck....he is getting older and needs to settle down I guess, but to me, 25 isn't that old!?!
Last but not least, this wedding has got me on edge. My best friend of 11 years is walking down that isle...to a man that I have nothing but the utmost respect for......I helped them get together and it makes me happier than lawd knows what when I see them together. They waited until they were both done with school, and both financially ready to do this...no kids...just the right thing to do, bc they are in love. And she is not the bridezilla most women are.....she is so damn laidback that it's funny....I love her though....this weekend is going to be awesome.
Well enough talking....gotta get to work! Peaceout!:)

HOLIDAZE

I love holiday weekends....you have the chance to just sit around and be lazy, eat, and be in good company. I spent this holiday weekend in Austin for the Bachelorette party that I have been planning for the past 3 months.....all details left to ponder..it was a BLAST! Misson accomplished.....

I came to a revelation this weekend as I was with my girls....I am ready to start dating....I know! Big deal....I am ready to throw myself in the fish pond again. I guess I am just ready to meet new people and be around new things...problem is...I don't know anyone...dating is HARD. But I will keep you posted...I am almost sure that this is going to be the right decision.

First Post..

I have read alot of blogs the past couple of days....interestingly enough it is insane to read them and relate. I will post freely on this blog my thoughts, how I feel, and if need be I will rant and rave.
Let me start first by stating the factual, I am a 22 yr. old african american defying what statistics say about us...I don't have kids, or "babies daddies", nor do I want any at this time in my life. I work, I come home, occasionaly hang out with my girls, and go to school. Notice that I did not put sleep in the equation bc frankly I don't get any.....
I just got out of a "live in" relationship with my ex, of 3 years, and now I am newly single and live on my own for the first time in my life. Living together before your married helps...it shows you if you were made to live together.
I am currently attaning a BA in education, and it is taking me way too long. At this point I am debating on whether or not I want to teach simply bc of the kids in public schools today.....I mean really? Playing the gum in chair bid is classic, but poisining muffins....that is a little to the max don't you agree?
I love life...God blessed me with it. At times it is rough, but I make it, this struggle now will make me stronger in the long run.
My family is my guiding light. My mother makes it so much easier to be the person that I am. She allowed me to become my own person, as opposed to picking my path for me and I owe her a million Thanks for allowing me to do so. My 19 yr. old brother is a work in progress...he has ambition...he just doesn't like to use it....but he raps...and if he was bad at it then I would be more negative, bc everyone wants to be a rapper, but he is GOOD! As long as he stays in school, and at least get a degree, I won't complain.
My relationship with my Father is one that is typical of girls my age, we really just don't talk. It isn't like I don't know him, I do. I love him for the person he tries to be, but that doesn't make up for a lot of the things he has put me through....that's all I will say on that.
I hope that this blog will get some things off my chest, I feel I need it in order to lift this big ball of stress that I continue to have....happy readings
