Diary Entry #5

Alone.
Its crazy how I can be next to you and still feel alone.
I came to you so I wouldn't.
I came to you to take this feeling away.
To make me feel warm and loved and wanted.
This...this bed we sleep in, this bed we shared our most intimate moments in, that was once a safety net for me as you kissed me on my cheek and left me in it...feels no longer these things.
What have we become?
How did we let the world get involved so deeply that we let it slowly tear us apart from our hearts and what we once had?
What I want is security from you.
To know that you still want to do this with me.
As Aladdin held out his hand to Jasmine, stared her in the eyes and asked, "Do you trust me?" She took his hand and at that moment gave him her heart as well.
Well I don't want the feeling of emptiness and loneliness lurking when I'm with you.
So let's take it back before the world entered in and pick it up from there.
What I'm saying is I'm holding out my hand and asking "Are you forever in this until our carpet ride is over?"

Like Sweet Morning Dew, I Took One Look At You & It Was Plain To See You Are My Destiny..

This song has been played out in my car for a week now. Miss 90s music. Music is rarely original these days...especially rap.

Bacon Is In the Air...Wait..HUH?!

So while some people on Valentine's Day was getting teddy bears and flowers and candy, my babe decided to be creative and get me two packs of bacon. I hated LOVED my gift! [Yeah, Im a different type of girl lol]. Here's the story...

See I'm not big on Valentine's Day because I think it's so commercialized [also why go all out on 1 day of the year when you're suppose to 365? Just saying.] I told him this and not to get me anything since it was our first holiday together. Well, yesterday he texts me telling me "Happy Valentine's Day" and that he has something for me. My facial expression --> 0_o Then he continues to say how corny it is and that I'm going to laugh. So I Get to his place and he gives me the card [which I loved because it really sounded like he would write] and presented me with a pink bag. Before I could open it he told me, "I didn't know what to really get you since you don't celebrate today and it came to me. You said this saying alot 'If the world had more ____, the world would be a happy place.' and so that's what I got you." I started laughing in disbelief. My saying is "If the world had more BACON, the world would be a happy place." [Bacon is the BEST food ever! Should go on everything!] I laughed so hard and loved him for it. That's not all he did. He tried to get reservations at an exclusive restaurant, but they were all booked so he is taking me later.

I thought it was so creative because it shows he listens and he knows that I have a weird sense of humor, but I know it's a day that's written down in my book. Even my mommy said, "Ooohkay. That was very creative of him. Certainly not original." Well, that was my V-day, how was yours? =)

MTV...Let Me See Some Ssskkiiinnn....

Sooo, I'm one of those rare people that actually watch MTV's new show Skins and hate LOVE it! Back in the day MTV had a show called Undressed and that is exactly what it reminds me of. More than likely because I went through the most awkward years in high school so I can relate to some of the stuff that goes down or I had friends that experienced stuff and I was along for the ride. In the second episode, they played many jazz/soul songs that had me dancing around my room in the groove. One song that played throughout was Marlena Shaw's Let's Wade In the Water [NOTHING like the gospel song]. A good song to play on a warm day like today I might add. Listened to a few songs by her and yes... she is pretty epic to me and is being added to my iPod as I write this. Check her out.

Oh The Places You Will Go..

Been in the library recently [you know the place that's really quiet with the computers and the rows and rows of shelves filled with books...yeah] to do a little re-evaluating of myself. Who better to help you become a better person in life than Dr. Seuss? I sat in there on the floor for hours reading The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears A Who, Green Eggs and Ham, and of course Oh The Places You Will Go. Reading these makes me think on how I view people and how people view me. It hits me. I have an AWESOME team that loves me for how smartassed, goofy, energetic, crybaby, crazyfaced, overemotional I am just as much as I love them. I'm DEEPLY flawed, believe me, but my imperfections make me perfect for me being the person I am suppose to be. Nobody else matters. And who am I to pick out others flaws? All I can do is embrace them with loving arms to be themselves. So MANY people try to fit in or stand out to fit in its ridiculous. Its like a reality version of the Stepford wives [GREAT movie. The original not the remake.] I just know that I'm on the right path to becoming myself. Realizing that gives that extra boost in life that takes you places you never imagined. Thanks Dr. Seuss may he rest in peace. =]

Diary Entry #4

I awake.
Darkness fulfills the room & the contour of the objects around.  My aura seemed to be radiating, but then I discover that my body is locked into place.
I don't fight for freedom. I feel confined and yet comforted.
I hear a hard beating against my ear. The beats makeup a special song that's meant for me only at that very moment.
I come to realize there's a smile on my face. I look up to see you with your eyes closed shut expressing your deep slumber. Your arm around me tells me that you want to make sure I feel protected and secured. And the fact that you're even with me shows you care.
As I lay my head back down, my finger traces the dents and curves of your arm. The appearance of your veins, my eyes begin to follow. 
My mind begins to wonder about how wonderful you are: God-fearing and family/friend oriented. About how you want to see everyone succeed and if you're well-stabled you make sure that you take everyone you love along.
I see where life is taking you...taking me...and the possibility that our lives intertwined as it did. Ups and downs: plenty. Any doubts: not at all.
All the memories we've had overflow my mind. All the jokes of a future together and the plans we have...but I start to think we are meaning what we say, but we just joke to amuse the other. Only time will tell.
I take a deep breath that's mixed with your one-of-a-kind essence and I feel at peace and linger in the moment...until the light of the morning sun hits my eyes.
I awaken to find out you were just a beautiful nightmare and never there and I lay wondering will I ever see you again.

Diary Entry #3

Love...

Love is...

Love is war peace,

Unity.

Love is respect,

Lying Honesty.

Love is the combination of pleasure, fear, excitement, passion, & completion.

Love...

Love is...

Safe.

Security.
Love is free to be you stripped & raw.
Love is to be able to say "Here I am" & never look back.
Love is...
looking into their eyes & seeing yourself...past, present, & future.
(from my mind to your eyes)

New Year, New Love. . .Diary Entry #2

Laying down in the bed with the earphones connected to the iPod & this song came on.  This is one of my favorite songs off of Christina Aguilera's Stripped CD.  Being 4 years single, you sort of miss the feeling of being some one's significant other & all the sweet, personal intimacy that happens between two people that care for each other when no one is around.  Especially those wake up smiles & kisses meant especially for the cheek or forehead. But you know what? Those 4 years gave me time to learn myself & God more be comfortable before I share myself with anyone else. 2011 is a new born baby & there is AMPLE amount of time to weight out my options & see who I'll actually be in a relationship with. Who knows? Hopefully I can relate this song to him when he finds me.

             "Stripped of all make up. No need for fancy clothes. No cover ups. No push ups. With him I don't have to put on a show. He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin fulfilling me entirely & taking all of me in. He's real. He's honesty. He's loving me for me."

MUSiC,SH00TiNG STARS, & RENAiSSANCE. . .

#1 & #2: on my left hip: the shooting star represents the journey in life, crescent moon represents the phases in life, & the shaded stars represent stages of my life I have completed (child & teen for the simple people)

#3: On my left ankle: The music notes make up "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", Its the first song iPlayed on the piano with my grandfather (My father figure)

#4: On my right side: The word means rebirth & through life you have to go through changes to become the person you were meant to be.

Soo. . . I took it upon myself to get my fourth tattoo this week on Monday. [Featured above with explanation] I absolutely LOVE the art of tattoos especially when the person creates the design themselves. Now I do believe that there is such a thing as too many or too much (cluttered tats for example). My main thing with tats is getting them because they have emotional meaning behind them.  Behind every tattoo there is a story of why it is there and I get so pulled in with evert tale.  You know the meaning of mine. . .so what is the story behind yours?

*Wake Up to QNT*

Sssoo...these past few weeks in my Com 241 Class (Radio Performance & Production) we had to perform our production final which was to produce an one-hour radio show. We had to work the sound board, microphones, music, commercials, talk, news, the works! My group, which consisted of my homies T'Keyah & Nico, performed our show this past Tuesday & we were AWESOME! I love them so much & love the chemistry we all have..it just works. We had so much fun doing it that we decided that we wanted to have our own show for next semester! Wish us luck that we pull through! Tell us what you think.  We do have pictures of us while we were in the booth, but they haven't been posted yet so they'll come soon. (And need I remind yall this IS radio so you would be listening to words & music & NOT viewing NOTHING! Just FYI)

As I Am..Diary Entry #1

Sooo...lately I've been more down than up about school & I don't know what it is about the end of a semester, but it always makes me a little lazier than when I started. iSleep, iEat, iProcrastinate, iStress more than ever, & iAM not my normal ray of sunshine. This is usually the time I have to remind myself why I am in school & what my purpose & dreams are. Even remembering that I am not the only one benefiting from my future achievements. My insane, pessimistic, weird family [seen below & excuse the picture...its the best one we took] is as well, being they motivate me to want to do ever so much more for them than I will do for myself. For you to get to know me personally & better, I'll start off my telling you my dream I'm striving for now.

• To get my degree in Communications with focus on Radio/Tv/Film
• That goal is mainly focused on radio
• With that I'm moving the hell out of Alabama. My dreams are TOO big to be staying here.
• Move to be a radio personality in either Miami or Los Angeles.
• (iLOVE being at the soundboard and creating a radio show. Its like electricity flowing through my veins & gives me one of the best feelings I've ever experienced in life)

Then the rest of my dreams is solely based on family, but that's another entry. Thinking about my passion & what iWant to do with it & go beyond what I was meant to be & do in life gives me the mental vitamins iNeed to make it through this crazy school. When you're not feeling your best in school, what part of your dream gives you the sensation that just awakes you?

P.S. Excuse my radio pictures. Rainy day in the lab. =)

Tamia +Anita Baker= Priceless

Usually it is very rare that I look at BET, especially at their award shows, but when I heard that the Soul Train Awards were doing a tribute and honoring the wonderful, talented, and flawlessly beautiful Anita Baker!?...I had to tune in. She has one of the best soothing, seductive voices next to Sade and Toni Braxton. The tribute to her was absolutely perfect! My favorite was Tamia singing Giving You the Best That I Got. It was amazingly done! Did you know that Anita introduced Tamia to her adorable hubby Grant Hill? I know Tamia was thrilled when asked to do the tribute. It was tastefully done and I enjoyed watching it. If you missed it, I have to clip of Mrs. Hill singing the sultry song. Enjoy!

Old Friends Turn to New Inspiration

See her? Her? ^^^^^^^^ that woman above? This lovely doll right here is apart of my motivation.  I have known her since we were little girls in pink tights/pink leotards running around the ballet studio at the Alabama School of Fine Arts and in white round collared shirts and plaid jumpers at Sardis Christian School (elementary). Sadly, (without knowing) she and her family moved to Atlanta. She's one of my friends on Facebook and like many others I have been observing her love for life (i just sounded stalkerish...not intended lol) She has AMAZING style and a personality to match. She does BIG things and I admit do get a teeny jealous, but I remember that my time will come. She has her own television show on Vanderbuilt's school channel and does many other activities on campus. Not only that but she did an internship with the company of MTV and it's sister companies in New f'n York....NEW YORK! The city and gives you a brand new life! The city that knows of no judgement. And I can only imagine how beautifully overwhelming it was to live there and breathe the city air. She's doing spectacular things and it makes me want to get on track to go over and beyond and I know i will. We're both in Communications so hopefully one day we'll reconnect and work together in future sense. Kudos to you Ms. Ellis! *Muah* Loves you!

Gobble gobble, Charlie Brown!



Sooo..Thursday I was in radio lab checking the time Grey's Anatomy comes on so I DEFINATELY won't miss it. When I saw the ABC schedule, I saw that the Thanksgiving special of Charlie Brown was coming on! The kid in me was super/extra excited! I love the holiday season because all the good specials come on tv and bring so much spirit to the season.  Charlie Brown is what I am so anxious to look at every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Of course Snoopy is my favorite character! I always wanted a beagle that looked just like Snoopy when I was little but instead I got a pitbull I called Sugar. =/ ANYWHO...I always loved the banter between Snoopy and Woodstock. They are just the funniest! You know what I holiday special I look forward to...what about you?

Rainy Days Make You Play...

Sooo...(i just realized im starting all my entries out like that lol) it's a rainy, drab day here in Florence, AL.  But just because Mother Nature wants to cry & be cold hearted doesn't mean your oufit should fit her mood. I wanted to wear my new boots that were a gift from Charlotte Russe for the longest & thought today would be the day.  I love them! Glad I did wear them too because the first 10mins hurt like a mf'er running to my car to get to class on time, but as the day went on I ended up breaking them in. I see the rain didn't stop me either as my friends T'Keyah & Aftan (seen in the pictures above mine) is an example of that. I didn't have my camera to get pictures of T'Keyah (Sad day) but she'll pop up on here soon because she's always looking adorable. I decided I wanted some snapshots of our outfits today and since we didn't have anything else to do we did it. We are in NO WAY trying to model or be models. We are simply radio/tv majors behind cameras and a mic. lol Hope ya'll are having a good day. ^_^

Ooh Na Na What's My Name?

Sooo..saw this video and heard the song for the first time yesterday and I absolutely adored it! I think Drizzy and RiRi are a cute couple. She apparently seems that she still may have a few feelings for the ex-Degrassi favorite turned Young Money rapper. If not, she's one hell of an actress towards him because he seems very genuine in this piece. But I love the song and video and maybe there's a future for these two. hhmm...

Fabulosity At Its Best

So I had to have a post dedicated to someone that I do admire in the state of being a great business woman, mogul, model, fashionista, no bull sh*tter, and just a fabulous woman in general. KLS, better known as Kimora Lee Simmons, is a role model to me in all the ways stated. I admire her drive and passion for what the little things she has in life. I LOVE her show Life in the Fab Lane. It shows her at her strongest moments as well as her weakest. She let's us into her business corporation showing women how to rule with an iron fist and how to put the stiletto pump styled foot down as well as showing her softer side as a mommy of 3 and a new wife to the sexy bodied Djimon Hounsou.  The lovely couple does balance each other out quite well I might add. (And when I find my hubby we taking a picture just like the one above so he BETTER be fit) She does all of this while looking beautiful and gorgeous. Kudos to you Kimora! *muah*
