It's Almost 2005!!!

OMG, I cannot believe that it is almost 2005!!! Time is truly flying by...man, am I ready for 2005? I mean in 2005, I will be attending graduate school....in 2005, I will be 23....in 2005, I will be out of undergrad for a year...alot is occurring in 2005. All I can do is hope and pray that 2005 will bring about better things in my life, that God will bring the increase and bless my territory!

Election Day!

As we are approaching Election Day (tomorrow as a matter of fact), I am beginning to be a little anxious to vote. My age group of 18-25 play a tremendous part in this election. Since we are the majority of the swing vote, we have the power in helping determine our next President. The issue that worries me is all these one-issue voters. You know who those people are...those who are voting for Bush because of his anti-gay marriage policy or anti-abortion antics. But these people are also so quick to disagree with his anxiousness of war and continual killing of our soliders. This really saddens and pisses me off, I mean these policies are not gonna stop people from being gay, especially when the VP's daughter is openly gay, nor will it lessen abortions. It will actually make women go to these back alley abortion clinics with coat hanger methods to get abortions, which eventually will cost more lives. I just can't believe people are willing to sacrifice existent life for the sake of unborn life, which is not even guarenteed birth. I guess I will never understand how people can be so ignorant as to vote for a president based on an issue that might not even be carried out.

Friends....

My friends are the greatest people ever!!!! I am have been blessed with some wonderful friends and I don't take it lightly. From my best friends since 9th grade to my friends I met in college to people I met this summer...they are all great! They make me smile when I am down, but they all tell me the truth to keep me grounded.

So I just wanted to dedicate this blog to my folks...and you all know who you are. Each of you hold a special place in my heart....I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

...Loose my breath....

"Can you keep up?
Babyboy, make me lose my breath
bring the noise, make me lose my breath
hit me hard, make me lose my *pant pant*
Can you keep up?
Babyboy, make me lose my breath
bring the noise, make me lose my breath
hit me hard, make me lose my breath...."

Once again, the ladies of Destiny's Child makes another great hit with "Loose my Breath". I looooooove this song....it's one of those party songs that amp you up wherever you are. In the car, your job, your house...it doesn't matter; if you hear it, you will party!

Football!!!!!

Ok, so yesterday began one of the greatest times of the year.....FOOTBALL SEASON! Now I don't know too much about the sport, but the shear excitement and energy is enough for me. I love it, College Football on Saturday, NFL Football all day Sunday and Monday night, Football Parties, Sports Bars and Arenas, Tickets to games.....the list goes on and on.

I am definetly one of those girls who would not care if her man decides to sit in front of the TV all day Saturday or Sunday to watch Football, cause please believe I will be sitting in front of a TV myself!

Lyrics....

See us in the park
Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind felt even without being said
I don't want to bore you with my trouble
But there's sumptin' bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet ....
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
More and more...

I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song, both the original and Donnell Jones' wonderful remake!
The lyrics say so much, there is no reason to explain anything!

Music......

Sitting at my desk, listening to VH1 radio, I realized how life would be so different, even weird without music. As said in my profile, I am a BIG lover of music. From Gospel, to R & B, to Alternative, to Go-Go ( all my MD/DC/VA heads!!), to Pop, I am obsessed with it and it seems that I cannot live without it. What would my life be without music...I think I might be lost; with no pleasure in life. Music is such a universal communicator, it allows people of all languages, cultures, religions, and races to communicate with a voice and dialect that all can understand.

Music is my source, it is who I am, it surrounds me, epitomizes me....I am MUSIC and MUSIC is me!

Inspiration....

"Soulstar
Oh you`ve come
So far from where you started
Don`t be afraid
To let your light
Shine on the world"
~Musiq...
 
This song brings such inspiration to me...I sing it constantly b/c with so much going on in the world, it is hard not to give up and find an easier road, especially, if you are a Christian.  If it isn't one thing, it surely is another.  But we are all "stars" and we are to shine our lights to this dark, desolate world, so that they can someday see the promise before them.

Life....again!

This has been a crazy 2 days...work has been crucially off the chain, let alone my life issues....SHEESH!!!  I have never been so confused, frustrated, pissed off, and blown in a 2 day time span.  But, I know that God is preparing me for something so much greater than my mind can conceive.  I just have to be patient and continue to trust and depend on him, through it all. 
 
It's a hard thing to do, but who else to depend on than the one who has complete supremacy of time and space.

Men....

Something has truly been confusing me lately concerning the male species. Why are ya'll so confusing? This is across the board, from friendships to relationships.I mean you say one thing, but you always do another. Then when we catch you up in that, you always come back with some lame excuse or some action to redeem yourself. I feel like I am back in my Comm 400 class discussing Cognitive Dissonance theory, where people believe one way, but yet act another, so they must find a way to fix the seperation between what is said and what is done. (Ya'll didn't know this girl was educated did ya??? LOL)

Anyway, this thought is one that I will probably never find an answer to. So maybe it is better to try to figure it out and just live. I guess my rational thinking and overanalyzing is getting the best of me. Ah well..... :-(

Life...

Hey everyone. Since graduating from UMCP, my life has really changed, some for the good and some for the bad. I have alot of things coming down on me know...and I know it all happens for purposes of growth. But, one can't help but to wonder "Why Me" sometimes.

Ah well, on a lighter note, I must say being a College Graduate is a wonderful feeling. I love this since of independence that has been bestowed upon me. I have truly entered to "Real World", so here I come!
