The Reason for the Season

Every year we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of gift buying/giving. I don't agree with this mentality...I was raised in a household where gifts were not important...We give love to each other and give gifts to people in need. My gift to everyone I know...is my love, support and dedication! What I want for Christmas...is the same in return (love, support and dedication). Think about this...if December 25th was your birthday, would you want everyone besides you to get all the attention, the gifts and the love? I celebrate my Lord and Savior everyday...and on December 25th I give thanks to God for selflessly giving His son for me. Re-evaluate you motives this holiday season...Examine your heart and make sure you are giving honor where honor is due!

Light-Bright

I think I've been missing out!!! Have I been overlooking the Light-Bright brothas??? Everyone who knows me, knows I love a dark-chocolate man! But maybe...Light-Bright has potential? I know many wonderful men who just happen to be Light-Bright. These men are gorgeous, intelligent, fun, goal-oriented individuals...I can go on and on.
Let me tell you a story...one of my Light-Bright male friends asked me to hook him up with one of my girls. I was up for the challenge...the challenge of finding someone wonderful for this wonderful guy. During this process I'm really starting to get to know more about this guy...and I must say I like what I see. Now...would it be stupid to pass this guy off to one of my girls??? I love my girl...and I know they would have good times together...but let me not pass up a good thing. I told my girl about him...she was like, "Oh wow, he sounds wonderful...what's wrong with him?" I was like nothing!...she was like, "There must be...why aint you trying to make something happen between you and him???" Well...all I could say was...he's Light-Bright!... But also, he asked me to hook him up with one of my girls...he aint never tried to come at me...But, I'm starting to think if he did...I might have to give Light-Bright a try!...

Closer to the finish line...

Great, today is the official end of fall term classes here at Drexel. Next week begins finals...And no I'm not looking forward to that. Some days I wish I was on co-op...no classes, no papers, no exams. I'm majoring in History and Corporate Communications, both of these concentrations require a lot of writing. So over the years I have become somewhat proficient in the art of writing a paper. Well, this term I wasn't really on top of my reading assignments...in my history class we had weekly in class essays and every essay I produced was full of fluff and nonsense. Well, the teacher assigned a term paper, I decided to actually read the information she wanted covered in the paper. I got the paper back, and she said, "It didn't reflect the quality of work she had seen from me throughout the term...so therefore I must not have written the paper. She said the paper reflect too much critical thinking and was too well composed...none of my in class essays looked anything like this paper." WOW!!! Can I get some credit? We had three weeks to write a 4 page, double spaced paper...any high school student could develop that paper and get an A! And I'm a fourth year college student...six months away from graduation! She wants me to write another paper so that she can see if the quality of writing will be consistent in the second paper...dag! This term I've been called a liar and a thief! When is graduation???...because I'm not getting along with the people around here.

Only three months...

I must have 'fool' written across my face! It's been four years since I've really been in a relationship. I've talked to a few people but nothing has really jumped off. My standards are high...and not so much standards concerning the other person, but my personal standards about how I conduct myself and my actions. I have high moral convictions and I've remained true to them for 21 years and I don't/won't change my mind for anyone. For the last time...you aint the one, I aint waiting for the one...I'm waiting til I'm married...how difficult is that to understand??? Obviously for most, very difficult to comprehend. You can talk all you want, try and persuade for days...you are only wasting precious air that someone else could be using. If you tell me that yeah..."Be my girl...and after three months I know you gonna give it up." or "Dag...you aint gonna give it up after three months...something bad might happen, Imma have to f*** someone." I mean...come on now! So...you still think I'm getting into a relationship with you after you have said all that. I would rather roll solo til my dying day. People...it's never worth it to compromise your beliefs for someone else. If they can't/won't accept it...cut them off! It's that simple, they aint gonna make or break you...and never give them the power to think they can. Dag...so you think I'm only worth three months...??!!

Jon Pierre!!!

Ok...so yeah I met him and I liked him right away. I'm now realizing that was not a smart choice to make. I mean...that smile did something to me right from the start! You were carrying it like you were feeling me...but I now realize ummmm...naw you weren't. Honesty is a great quality...how bout we all try to be honest. Jon Pierre...he's fine, he's sweet, he's intelligent....and all the ladies like him and he plays off that. Come on now...you gonna come at my neck when you are the one being shady. From jump I told you nothing but the truth. I was open and honest...constantly putting myself out there for nothing. I was looking like a fool. A fool to you, to your 'girls', and maybe a fool to some other people. But it's all good. I'm sorry you assumed who I was by talking to other people. I was about to be hurt...but than I thought, you aint worth all that. Dag...I don't even think I can be true friends with you. You might ask why?? It's because my friends are honest to me, love me, support me, and have my back even when I'm acting a fool. You and me was on some type of level where friendship was definitely a great possibility. But naw...be friends with them. Oh my...Jon Pierre!!!

Don't Play Yourself

This has been a very interesting term here at Drexel University. I try not to regret anything that happens in my life because I know that I learn and grow from every experience...but dag, why are so many people trying to play me??? Do I look like a fool???...ok don't answer that. I give my all to people and often I gets nothing back, aight I'm a bit mad about that...but I won't stop being who I am. Wow...don't lie to me, don't call me a liar, don't talk about me but than you don't have the courage to come say something to my face. Stop wasting my time and please spare your feeling. Yeah I can be a sweet person, but I aint stupid. I'm kindhearted, but I will come at your neck! Just watch who you treat bad, because someday you are going to need that person...and oh well, they won't be there for you.
