Mo soge daran!!


That just means that "I am in pain just for fashion". I got my hair "did" last thursday and boy did i get a response! I am not one to go gaga and stress myself for hair but i was convinced by my friend that the hair would look good on me!
So i obliged and decided to get this hair that i just thot was definitely not me! I was gonna go out on a limb!

***I did and ohmagosh, everyone was like wow you look so good, your hair is lovely blah, blah,blah! Because it was so unlike me, i was unsure how to sleep that night!

I put my hairnet on and went to bed, struggled to find a comfortable position all night and you guessed it, i woke up in the morning and could not turn my head to the right! Lol!

You know, it is so funny when you get a stiff neck, you realize that all of a sudden, people want you to turn around more often.... Or maybe because it hurt everytime i had to turn...
As if that did not teach me a lesson, on Saturday, as i was leaving for work... i looked in my closet and i saw these shoes that i bought a while back but had not worn yet! So i decided to put them on! They felt a little tight but they looked cute on me , so i wore them to work... bit mistake... I got to work and was there for about 2 hours and i had to leave my desk and lo and behold, my legs start cramping... it is funny now but then i was whimpering in pain because, you know, no one held me at ransom to put them shoes on! I tried to hide my limping but it was obvious and my supe, a female was like girl take them shoes off and you can wear slippers instead!

Whew, i was glad and i ran to my truck to get slippers but i had taken off my shoes the other before and did not switch back the slippers! I was so angry and pissed cuz now i was really gonna pay for my sillyness!

I limped all night and when i could i walked barefoot! lol But darn... i have learnt my lesson!

It gives you you the opportunity to reflect... take some time to do so!

I just don't know!

As girls, we know when there is connection between us and a guy! At least i used to know what was up with a guy before he asked me out!
But lately my signal has been down and out... and i just don't know why!
When my last relationship ended, it seems like there were so many people who had been waiting for that to fall out cus they just kept coming at me and at that time i was like a slammed shut iron door.

It did not matter how fine a brotha was, i just did not want to know who the hell he was, i was not giving an inch to anyone!
I will admit that after a while, the brothas just left me alone and i was cool with that! I mean, i needed to get to know myself again and find out what was important to me and make myself the priority!
I had not written in a while before my last post when i just had to open up because i was taking a break, to tell you the truth, i was not sure if i should or could open up and write about these deep thoughts inside me!
I miss the care and attention from one's love! I don't mind being single and not attached but i miss not having someone that i can call my very own! I like to think of myself as independent, because frankly i don't like being inconvinienced or an inconvineice to others!
I realise that my schedule is very tight (this was done i think on purpose) and that i cannot spend the time to establsh a relationship with anyone right now, but as i write here i wonder why i can't have it all???
It is very funny that a lot of people think of me as wife material and nah, i am not ready to get married yet but i just want to not be lonely!
All of my friends are married or in a relationship and they are always trying to hook me up with someone or the other as per wife material now.. lol!
I went out to lunch the other day with a friend whose husband is deployed and another friend and it brought back old memories and made me realise, i was becoming a spinster! All i need is a cat! lol - it has been awhile!
As we sat there eating, i tried to think of the last time i did something like this and it was amazing as i came to the conclusion that instead of making myself the priority, i had been hiding behind psuedo-relationships!
See i have not allowed myself to feel anything for anyone or maybe i have been holding it back! I just don't know!
Most of the guys in my life right now are very good friends and my girls say there is something more but i think i have lost the ability to tell this kind of thing and i just don't know!
I have tried to disect every aspect of the relationships i have with these guys and i cannot seem to tell if there is anything more! I mean i like them, they are my freinds... but i cannot seem to tell if anyone of them is in deep-like with me!
I just don't want another frog... I am willing to wait for my prince and i am hoping that once he finds me, he will meet my criteria, because i now have one! I just won't date anyone anymore for dating sake! I just won't do it!
Anyone got any idea how i can get my satellite working again? I am all ears!

The Land of the free?

Where do i begin to start from? I had been taking a break for a hot minute but with the emotions i feel lately i knew i had to write before i exploded!
*** Ahhhh***
I am so angry right now and i just don't know where to direct that anger!
As a college student, i have a right to expect that i am protected, safe and that some crazy idiot won't come and shoot at me in my class! That is MY RIGHT!!!!
Now you have the right to purchase a gun and carry a concealed weapon if you so choose to do so in some states! That is YOUR RIGHT!!!
If your right is now posing a danger to me and my safety, then... we have a problem!
No one is admitting anything or taking responsibility for this tragedy! I mean all i am bombarded by is this crazy idiot's disgusting face every freaking where!! I refuse to name him because in case someone was not aware... that was the idiot's plan in the first place.
The media oh you gotta love them, they have all these programs about going inside the mind of a killer and a whole lotta BS... Why do we need to understand his idiotic mind... Obviously by his actions, we get that he is CRAZY!
**** Ahhhhh****
If you want to give people publicity, please recognize the innocent ones who were fatally shot to death on that terrible day! College professors, Seniors in college, freshman just starting out their college life! I mean people that mattered and made a difference in someone else's life! There was a triple major senior who lost his life, find something to write about him!!!!!
To the NRA, i am glad you guys can see what your RIGHTS have cost innocent folk!
I don't feel free, safe or protected to know that i could be in class and get shot!
Something needs to be done about this!!!! And NOW!!
***I just needed to vent *** Hopefully i can't write something eloquent later!
To all those who have been affected by this tragedy directly, I send you my Prayers and Love, May the Lord comfort you! Amen!

Friends and relationships!

Happy new month to you blogville folk! I had not seen a friend of mine for almost 5 months... not due to any rifts or anything... we just never could fix up a time... i had a new school schedule, i was in naija, i changed my work schedule, she had a baby and moved... the reasons are endless.
We did keep in touch by text and phone though! I decided on my way from school yesterday to stop over and see her at her job before i went home and i am glad i did!
She was surprised to see me and happy at the same time... i could tell something was wrong so i asked her again how are you doing? She looks at me and said not so good! I was like what is it? She breaks down crying and says to me "i know you are busy, this might take a while."
I said " sweetie, i have time for you, don't ever think that because i always say i am busy does not mean i won't have time for you! I do have a busy schedule but do not hesitate to call me."
I never meant to eliminate my friends but i just don't have the time to hang out anymore and i felt really bad especially as she needed me!
Anyway, we out to the patio and sat down and she opened up... she had moved out of her home and was back with her mom! I was like what is going on and how manage?
Her husband was having a hard time dealing with the baby, she was having a hard time adjsuting with the baby and looked to her mom for help and this drove a rift between a couple who should be happy and excited about having a new baby!
That drove me to tears... she moved out of the house under two weeks and he moved out too and got himself an apartment already!
I felt helpless for her but i had to say something, i know married folk have problems but should the vows be that meaningless? ... she said, he told her in a heated arguement that he did not love her anymore and she moved out and was like if you want a divorce , i will give it to you! So i ask her, is that what you want? do you want you marriage to be over? You know people say things when they are angry ( but that was cruel on his part tho).She of course said no! I said you need to do whatever you have to do to save your marriage, look inside yourself and you know your faults and weaknesses! Work on them and talk to him, don't call him screaming( i know it's hard not to).
Do not give up easily, you guys have been married for 3 years... you have a beautiful daughter and you know y'all love each other... i said.
These things happen especially with a brand new addition to the family... I know that you do not want a divorce!
I think i saw a spark in her eyes and i know i helped her because we were no longer crying! It is gonna be a long road but i'll be here for you!
Te amo amiga y estoy aqui cuando te necesites que me ayudas!
