Rainy Thursday Evening

"Sometimes its soft as a misty rain
that gently touches my soul,
It cools the fire that burns in me
and I simply lose control."
SWV, Rain

That describes my mood right now. The rain is falling outside, but my soul is burning for something.
Right now, my Jack and Coke is what's keeping me company. I've been thinking that I might need to saddown for awhile.
Like, how can it be that I'm soooo blessed, but get into these mood when I'm SOOOO depressed!? Its so pitiful.
Aw well.
*sips on Jack introspectively*

Hell YAHZ to this!!!

This just gave me PURE OXYGEN! iLIVE!

I've BEEN saying this...I can't WAIT to find a man that will be worthy to let me submit to him...

Ms. Cooper just LAID IT THE HELL OUT!! iLOVE it!

Part 2:

I Got my MBA for THIS?!?!

Okay.

So I'll be the first to admit, I could do better at work. I mean, how often do I find myself doig ish that is totally un-work related when I'm here? I feel like its inevitable; I mean, I'm here for 10 hours a day (if you count my commute) so its stands to reason that I'mma do other ish sometimes.

BUT...

I've so had it with being treated like a damn SECRETARY. I mean, I'm so outside the loop on things in my own team, and when I am included its like "schedule this meeting" or "rework this report that you've already reworked half a dozen times." WTF?!?!

Dude. Seriously. I have a Masters degree. An MBA with a focus in Marketing. This glorifies secretary ish is NOT what's tepid in the cul-de-sac! I didn't bust my hump to get scholarships and then take out loans for what wasn't covered to be a damn SECRETARY!

WHHOOOSSSAAAHHH.

But its cool tho. I know I'm bout to be outta here like last year. And I bet they have an inkling. I say just fire me and get it ova with. Then I can collect unemployment. Shoot, I could prolly get a break on this rachet-ass tax bill I gotta pay. LOL

A Whole Lot Going On!

I've been mad busy.

No, really.

Its doesn't make any sense for someone to have as much going on as I do, yet have no real social life to speak of. *SMDH*

This year, I've applied to several law schools (c'mon EMORY!!!)

I've committed to working out (avg is 4X/week. Sometimes I go more)

I'm trying to step up my already active role in a few organizations I belong to.

I've been Twitterin' my azz off. (Add me. I'm HILARIOUS!)

I've tried to go out with a few guys...not having much luck with that one. *kanye shrug*

I've been part-time counseling a good friend that may be going through a divorce soon. (Is it bad that I kinda enjoy it? Not the idea that he's splitting from his wife, the idea of helping him get on his feet. Although she irks my spirit a lil' bit, so I may take a teeny, tiny, minuscule amount of pleasure in seeing her suffer. #DJM)

I party, I bullshit...meh. #NotReally

Oh, and I've been working like an original Hebrew! I'm FINALLY getting some recognition on the job, and I'm actually getting a bonus and a pay increase, effective tomorrow. (PAAAAARRRRTAAAY!!!! *Harlem shakes in chair* *Brother Franklin-esque Chair scoot at work*)

I wonder what they gon' do when I BOUNCE UP OUT THIS BIA?!?! *evil laugh*

So...yeah, I gots a whole lotta erythang goings on...

Keep an eye on ya girl! In 2010, get with me or GET RUN OVA! POW!

Stop telling me how I think, what to do, how to look, who to date, when to exhale… I beg of you.

Okay, so I really need to do betta...

These long behind gaps between posts are NOT the bidness.

I only have a couple followers (HEEEEYYYY Ya'll!!) but in all honesty, this is really for me. It helps to have all my thoughts, struggles trails, tribs, etc, etc in one place...and since I spend about 75% of each day on my laptop well...it just makes sense to put them here.

So, I want to blog at LEAST once a week. Heck, I may make use of my built in webcam and vlog ery' now and again too. I know summa ya'll are already giving me the o__O, but I meant it doggonit! I'mma try! LOL

Yeah yeah yeah....

Hey folks!

I know I've been ghost. Its been an interesting end and beginning of a/the year for moi...

Its amazing to me that the older I get, the more I realize I know absolutely NOTHING.

Like, men BAFFLE me. Not knowing what the future holds for me is STILL mad upsetting. There are days when I ave it together and there there are days that I couldn't tell you if I was coming or going...

Yea, I'm a big ole' ball of confusion.

I guess this is supposed to be apart of growing up. I figure this part shoulda BEEN done by now tho! I'm 27 effin years old! Sheesh.

Ah well. Happy New Year and all that jazz...

'Twas The Night Before The Test...

Yeah so...

I take my LSATs tomorrow...again. LOL
I took it in 2006, but I was NOT focused, NOT ready to go, and DIDN'T study. (yeah, I WAS trippin'.)
So far so good, I've seen marked improvements in my practice scores. I know I can do this, get a great score and get into a good school. I've been in contact with the ones I want to go to, and I've asked a lot of questions (mostly about how my previous score will affect my admission).
Lots of podunk other schools (mostly ones I don't want to go to) have been boosting my head up, sending me scholarship offers ad inviting me to visit, some based on my previous (crappy) score, so thats good!
Honestly, I just gotta get out of my own head about this thing. I'm so used to being an overachiever, being the top of my class, or just a little bit ahead of the pack...well, I'm scared I may not be good enough to get into law school 'cause this hasn't been as easy for me as other academic endeavors.
WOW.
Does that sound as LAME as it looks to me?
Yeah, I'm trippin.

Wish me luck y'all!

Prez Obama LOVES the kids...

Okay so...
Today at 12 noon President Obama gave a speech aimed at all the kiddies going back to school. The speech was about staying in school, being focused and striving to succeed. My question is...
WHY DA HAYLE WAS THIS NOT ON IN EVERY CLASSROOM!?!?!
A transcript of the speech can be found here. I read it, then I heard it....so I'm trying to understand what suburban Colorado mother Shanneen Barron read/heard:

"Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me," suburban Colorado mother Shanneen Barron told CNN Denver affiliate KMGH last week, before the text of the speech was released.
"I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now."

Oh wait. She didn't read or hear it. But she assumed it was somehow un-American?! From the POTUS?!?! Um...okay...
The story on CNN can be found here.

Folks are off the chain, I swear.

The Passing of 2 Kennedys

So...we lost 2 members of the Kennedy family in August. I look at them as examples of people that saw a problem, some lacking, and sought to do something about it, thus becoming the icons that they were at the time of their passing.
Albert Pine said, "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others remains and is immortal.' They will be immortal. RIP Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Ted Kennedy.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver DSG (July 10, 1921 – August 11, 2009)[2] founded the precursor to the Special Olympics in 1962. In 1968, she helped Ann McGlone Burke popularize the Special Olympics movement across the U.S.
She was a member of the Kennedy family and actively campaigned for her elder brother, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, during his successful 1960 U.S. presidential election.
Her husband, Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr., is a former United States Ambassador to France, the founder of the Peace Corps, and was the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election.

Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy (February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009) was a United States Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. First elected in November 1962, he was elected nine times and served for 46 years in the U.S. Senate. At the time of his death, he was the second most senior member of the Senate, and the third-longest-serving senator in U.S. history. For many years the most prominent living member of the Kennedy family, he was the son of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., the youngest brother of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, both victims of assassinations, and the father of Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy.

What a Week...

This is not a positive post, so feel free to click the "X" in the corner of your browser.
I just feel so...blah!


Like, I have so much going on, and I'm truly blessed. I realize that.
But I'm not happy.
I hate to whine, I really do. but...
I WANNA BOO! *whiny kid voice*
I'm tired of my only companionship being my girlfriends. And I'm not trying to just settle mind you. I want someone thats REAL and ready for the type of relationship that I want to have. Someone that measures up to my expectations.

I have a male "friend" (meaning he wants to bone, but I'm not having it)that wants to "be with me" (translation=have a lot of sex, maybe possibly make me his girlfriend. SMDH), but I won't give that fool the time of day in a clock shop. Why, you may ask? Sure hes an employed, mobile, educated individual. Moderately attractive and TALL to boot. (y'all know I like dem tall boys)
So why no dice? This man has 2 children. By 2 different women. And I'm sorry, that's not a row I'm tryinta hoe. Its too tuff. Plus, he doesn't want to get married for another 5 years or more. WTF!?! I broke it down for him this way:
-I will be tethered to the NE. If I'm with you, you aren't gonna be moving farther than DC. I want SOUTH of the Mason Dixon sir. No bueno!
-What am I sposed to do while your life plan catches up to mine? I want to be married by 30 at the LATEST; you are already 31 and you tombout another 5 YEARS?!?! So I suppose if I want babies, I gotta be baby mama #3 and just keep my fingers cross that you'll marry my ass, when based on your track record, that ain't happening? o_O
-If by chance all thhatACTUALLY DOES work out, I can't think about just my kids, I gotta think about ALL the kids. I can't just send mine to private school; its not fair to the others. I gotta think about 2 extra gifts at Christmas, 2 additional birthday parties to plan a year...we gotta schedule vacations around our kids' breaks AND when you get visitation...not my idea of fun sir!
Now I'm a bad guy for thinking this way, but men discriminate against women with kids ALL THE TIME. That Guy (Atlanta Guy) and I have discussed this as length. He makes a great point: I've done all I've done and made it this far without any children, why should I have to deal with someone else's mistake for the rest of MY life?
Am I to think if I'm going t have a quality companion, I've gotta to deal with this? SMDH. *wall slide*

I hate happy mofos like this right now. *sigh*

Single, B*#9:y Rant

Okay...

Before I start, please know I don't often do the "woe is me, I'm single" thing. I dig being independent, and although I wish I had companionship other than my female friends, I know I'm not quite ready to get married, so I cope well w/the in-between.

THAT BEING SAID...

What da fukk is up Philly men!? I mean, is it so hard to hang out w/ an attractive woman and not have sex? Thusfar, that's the only conclusion I can find. All I want is a decent date! Case in point: I've been to World Cafe Live twice, 2 different concerts, and numerous other "I see couples every-damn-where" events...either by myself or w/a female friend. WTF!? Y'all don't like music?

And for men reading this, no, I don't mean take me out, pay for the whole shebang, and get nuthin in return. I got my own tix, meal, etc. I just want a male friend! I need to disrupt all this damn estrogen w/ some testoterone, feel me?

Apparently this is a foreign concept. Ninjas up here either wanna fukk, "hang out", which consists of you hanging out @ my apt waiting for me to say you can fukk, or they want to boo you up-and when you say no, they wanna be friends and "see what happens" (see the definition of hang out)! What happened to being friends!? I mean, I'm not from here, so my experience is skewed. In the South, you meet cool people and its not about tryinta bone. If the chemistry is there for both people, cool, but if not, folks are content to go out w/ no romantic entanglements. Shoot, I've intro'd guys friends down south to girlfriends, and they are still together! (Call me Cupidette!)

So what the deal Philly men? I'm tired of flying solo...as I type I'm surrounded by couples AGAIN, and I fear the wives of these men may jump me! Won't anyone join me for a date!?

Know yo Planet!!!

Hello Friends,
I've been too busy Twittering and reading otha folks ish to post anythang new lately...shouts out to my new fav blogs in the world: Awesomely Luvvie (she KILLS me daily), House of IG, and I'll Think of a Title Later. Great reads! *end groupie-esque dick riding*

So...ya'll know I have my Theory on Friendship, right? I thought I had articulated this to erybody that mattered, and those that didn't...well, knew better than to ask or didn't care! So explain to me the following COONERY:

Unamed sadidity neighbor/Neptune friend: Yo...u straight deleted me as your friend???? Remeber this friendship thing goes both ways...

Me: First off...I started a new page. I posted on my status that I was shutting the other one down. Secondly, we were never tight. We probably never will be. You think you are a good friend? We don't talk, we don't hang out...you live one street over and I haven't seen you once this year. So chill with the 'tude.

USNNF: Not sure if u still have the same number...but I just left a message. I'm too damn grown for all this negativity mess coming from you end.....and I don't get into petty arguments with chicks. It's good to see that we were never tight....that's news to me. Seems like you're as fake as I hear cause as for me I don't hang with those I'm not cool with. As far as living next to each other and not talking....like I said in the last message....that goes both ways. You didn't even tell me you were moving in...til after you moved in. Never once have you called me to hang/chill/go for drinks or whatever. You have internal issues that need to be taken care of. I mean we all do, but never have I seen someone wear that shit on their sleeves. But like I said...my number is the same (XXX-XXX-8936). Call me if you like....otherwise it is what it is.

FIRST OFF...
WhereDeyDoDatAt?? I mean, you were REALLY thinkin we were "best buds", when I haven't talked to you in like 9 months?? I was content with our you-coo-to-hit-a-club-wit aquaintance, but I see you got yo role twisted hon. Do better, and kill the e-thuggery on my FB inbox! KThx!
*SMDH*

Secondly, please know yo role. If we don't talk on the regular, sparsely see each other, and never hang out w/ less than 3 otha folks present, YOU ARE AN AQUAINTANCE AT BEST. Don't mean I hate you, just means we prolly wouldn't interact w/out common friends and liquor involved. Deal with it.
LuvPeaceNSoul,
MyzT
