Imma say it...

I don't write these entries to offend nobody nor to put nobody on blast. First of all, you may just be THINKING too much of yourself, if you are convinced my entries are about you. Second, if the entry relates to you or your 'situation' you can read what I THINK about you. Third, please don't ask me if a certain entry is about you, cuz if it is get over it...but most likely it may relate to you (that is cuz we all got issues, I'm just writing about them) but was created because of someone you don't even know. Fourth, these are my thought, my opinions and Imma say what I want. Please, don't agree, I never asked you to agree nor do I expect you to agree. Maybe my words will give you another perspective. Maybe they will help you see yourself as others see you. It's crazy how people are so quick to say "Oh wow, you putting such and such on blast!" I be sitting back laughing cuz in reality people...it's about YOU!!!! But you don't even see that, you living in a bubble, in some type of fictitious world, your reality is yours and Imma let you live there. Aight...so I'm an extremely honest person, but I never want to hurt nobody with my words or actions. The blog "Be a man/woman about yours..."got lots of mixed comments. It was only up for a day and yet like five/six people hit me up. Aight, people who had absolutely nothing to do with it applauded my honesty and were actually thankful for some honest advice and opinions. People who may have THOUGHT I was talking about them were not so happy with the entry. So for both sides...the entry has been removed. At first I was like...oh no...I will not be censored!! But than I took into account people's feelings...even if they weren't justified because for the last time... Don't flatter yourself...I aint talking about you! If you THINK I'm mad, if you THINK I have a problem, if you THINK I'm talking about you...don't keep THINKING and talking about...ask me...I sure enough will clarify the 'situation' for you. And yes...I had quite an attitude while writing this entry!

It aint that serious...

This year is only in it's second month and it's already been the longest year of my life. Before I go on, I must first apologize for ignoring many of the important people in my life. Getting ready to become an adult has taken a major toll on me, but that is no excuse...please forgive me...it's my mind being stressed, but my heart will forever love you. Aight...so now that I'm working on restoring relationships that I have neglected I feel much better.

I don't think I've ever been so upset! On Saturday, I was too through, my reserve nerves were all gone, and I coulda easily banged somewhere. Aight...I woke up bright and earlier to take the LSATs...on my walk over to UPenn, crazy men kept stopping me. I was nice enough to say hello, but dag I had someone to be and I was not about to let some strangers derail me from my destiny. The LSATs were long and difficult, I gave it to God so it's all in His hands now. After leaving the LSATs I was hungry...I went to get some food and had to wait over an hour for my meal. Aight, it time to relax before I go out and celebrate some birthdays. NO! my boss called and asked me to come to work, the money pays my bills, so I got up and went to work. Finally it's 10 o'clock and I'm on my way home. Not on my way home to chill, but to cook some food. The food is finally done and it's going on midnight...hopefully I can make it to the party before my boy's birthday is over...but I did see him earlier so it's all good. People enjoyed the chicken, I aint even get none. I have decided not to drink for awhile, so I was dancing a bit and having conversations with people. Other folks were taking down the alcohol like it was water...not a good idea. So than...somebody throws up!...and who's there to clean up the mess, my girl M and myself. That was some nasty mess. So instead of kicking back at 2am...we were cleaning up vomit! I aint mad, cuz this is what I do for friends...but wow...I'm just tired. Sometimes I'm tired of being their for people, but feeling like I never get that in return. People getting mad at me cuz I truly don't have time to listen to them whine. Come on people, stop complaining all the time, we all got issues, things going on...stop making your issues, the issues of the century. If you stop making it so serious, it won't be so serious...

Be a man/woman about yours...

People ain't ready for honesty...we'll work on that for 2006!

All About the 4.0...

I've been procrastinating something serious lately! I thought if I created a post that keeps track of grades I would be motivated to do my work and do it well. I wouldn't want ya'll to see me getting those failing grades, those awful "C's" Yes I said it, by my standards "C's" are FAILING! I guess that's just how I was raised..."C" stands for average and I am definitely not average...

Grades are updated weekly!!

Quiz 1: awating grade

Professional Presentations COM-330-001 (I like speaking, so I like this class)

Speech 2: Professional Conference: A...so excited because I didn't think I did too well.

Public Relations COM-280-001 (One of those classes that you have to take to graduate, but otherwise would never take)

Exam one - 80...barely passing...this is unacceptable!...will improve

Sentencing SOC-380-005 ( The best professor I've ever heard!)

Quiz 1...oh my...I can't even bring myself to post this grade...all you need to know is that I failed...I'm below average at this point in this class.

I started reading everyday...so hopefully I'll drastically improve this grade.

Sr Project Commun I COM-491-001

This is a pass or fail class...I'm passing

I adore him!

Raj Amin...this has got to be the greatest individual I've ever had the privilege to know! I love him with everything I have. I learned almost everything I know from him (minus the few things I've learned at Drexel, but even before I got to Drexel...I was a genius because I him). I'm still having a difficult time adjusting to the fact that I don't see him on a regular basis. It's been a few years since he packed up and moved to Boston, MA to continue his education. Oh, did I tell you that he's a genius???...the best student the Baltimore school system ever had (graduated with honors at 16) , left a major legacy at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (didn't pay a penny for anything and they sent him over seas more than once with no cost to him) and is now at Brandeis University (Boston MA) working on his PhD (Again, they are paying for all of it)! And give him a few more year, I know he will be the youngest person to every receive a Noble Peace Prize. He would never boast about all his accomplishments, so I will do it for him. And mind you I have not even begun to list everything this man has done...if I did that I would overload this system and crash the program! I think it's obvious to see that I love this man, I adore him and would give my life for him! Many of you nosy people are probably wondering who...Raj Amin is...?? He knows, many others know, and if you ask maybe I'll tell you. You probably want to meet him, just so you can say that you 'know' him... Thank you, Raj Amin for always believing in me, telling me I'm the best even when I felt my worse, bragging about me like I was the greatest person in the world and always, always loving me even when I was unlovable. I adore you, you are my BEST MAN!

My Fellas!

I have very inspiring friends. It isn't an easy job being a leader of anything, especially if that leadership involves direct contact with people under you. I'm always telling my friends about the different difficulties I'm encountering during my daily activities. During a conversation I was told, "No matter what you have to stay professional." Might not seem profound to many of you...but yesterday I had to remind myself of these words...and those words were the only things that helped refrain me from really going off on someone. So, I didn't go off, I didn't yell. I was calm, cool and collect...Stef, would have been proud! I'm always receiving words of wisdom from my friends...especially my male friends. For some reason they don't think I'm sensitive and therefore talk to me any ol' type of way with no consideration to my feeling. I appreciate the fact that they don't sugar coat things for me, but can I please have a sensitive moment??? Regardless of the way they speak to me (almost all of them...but never Tex!), the constant violence (Double A), or the fact that they can ask me about a dude but if I ask about a female they pretend as if they don't understand nor speak English (almost all of them)...I have so, so, so much love for my fellas!
B...he's my BMORE homie! he can be so ignorant, we can go back and forth for days...I can always count on him to be honest to me! L...he's my lil bro! he understands my emotions and is always looking out for his big sis. Double A...he's my bodyguard! he is there to smack me, but would kill someone if they did me wrong (I'm almost scared of him). Stef...he's my husband! he is so wise, when I need a good talking to, he's there. Dre...he's my babe!...he can definitely put I smile on my face. Tex...he's my sweetheart! he can fix anything, cook everything and is the sweetest person you will ever meet. They hold me down through it all...I don't have any blood brothers here in Philly...but I have several brothers in every other sense of the word. I am so grateful and thankful for that. Family is much more than the blood you share...it's the love you share!
