Ok since I can't keep up with the day to day of posting here are my thoughts for the week that I have taken down as notes.......

The weekend is here......YES!!

There is something about the male form that is so sexy and yet so mysterious at the same time. Though they are the warriors and fighters there is something sensual about them. Unlike women who are wrapped in vulnerability and sensitivity from the moment they enter the world, men are always seen as tough individuals the strong walls built to protect us. However, there is still a sensual quiet part of them that women can pinpoint and embrace. I find myself fantasizing about different men in my life. Some I am attracted to instantly and others the curiosity is so high of what it would be like that you just have to know. I have noticed that though I do have several of these men in mind I am at a loss for a spark of feeling. Of course sexual feeling is there but still you wonder is that the only thing or can you be sparked by a look, a light brush or a kind word? I don't really wonder how I will met the next man but more of when and to what degree the felling will take me too.

I find myself being attracted to the very type I try to get away from. Tall which is always a trait I am looking for, light in complexion (which I guess would be subconsciously linked to my father), and as far as anything else like education and job; I need the best. To me anyone will not do, I strive for the best and I won't settle until I get it. I guess that could be selfish but that is me. That is something that not only happens with men but my career and owning material things.

How is it that you can go from being one way one day to being another way the next? I guess that's one of life's big mysteries. I never understood why I fell into depression but then I could also ask why does my brother have ADHD and I don't....hmm just a thought
Well the Christmas party is two weeks away which means that Christmas is 3 weeks away..........

 I came to the realization today as my money situation was thrust into my face once again that it may be along time before I have kids.....not saying that there is anything wrong with me but I need to be stable in my life before I am given the task of caring for someone else. I fantasize about having a husband and being married with kids but those fantasies have little to do with reality..but then again what fantasy does.
This morning I prayed like the day before except I couldn't help but almost beg god to put me in direct contact with someone who is not a scam artist who will genuinely help me succeed! I need to have more faith and courage to know that I can make it and not wait for it to come to me. I think that is what I keep missing and GOD is just waiting for me.....he waiting for me to stop spending money frivolously, he waiting for me to get out there and train with my skills. He waiting for me to jump so I can soar not fall...I need to go back to church I need to live my best life now!

I look forward to mondays and wednesdays for step practice. Its an opportunity for me to hang out with sorors and get out of the apartment and be around other people for awhile. Well today was payday and even before I got to work I had made an $80 purchase, I have a problem and I don't think its necessarily shopping I think I do it to make myself feel better but its only short lived because I ever wind up feeling the same or worse when I don't have enough money left over at the end of the month. Its a vicious cycle that I need to get out of. I like cash much better.....if only I could keep it in my wallet more often......
     I need to work on this whole clearing my mind thing and relax the last thing I need to do is have a heart attach at 23!!!

Finally made it to december...well not finally the year went by pretty fast. I can't believe it my first year in new york is already over almost. It has definitely been an adjustment but a fun time too. I have grown as a person and gotten to know myself a little better. I have realized that even with the big dreams and not wanting to be average goal doesn't mean it all has to or will start tomorrow. I have found that I stress over things I can't change or have no control over and breeze through the complicated world and tasks at other times. There have been highs and lows, laughs and tears, but I am glad I went through it.
I am beginning to feel a weight being lifted from my life as the year comes to an end, mainly because I know I will be moving on to another job and just because the holidays are here. It has always been my favorite time of year.

Thank the Lord its friday. This has been a long week at work with so many things that need to be done for the holidays and catering to the big babies that work there. I want to go to sleep but I also want to go out, for the next two days I'm free....well not really but some leisure time is coming.....


Do you ever find yourself in a conversation with someone and you realize you have nothing to talk about with this person. Its funny at one time you had so many things to say to each other and now you feel forced when you say hello and ask a general question. I guess that's apart of evolving into a new person, you change and people just aren't on the same plane as you anymore.... Its sometimes sad because you look up and think "I haven't talked to so and so in a long time" and when you reach out to them there is no answer and even though the number is correct it feels like you have connected with a totally different person. It was once said that you will only wind up with maybe 2 true friends in your life, while the rest are just people you once knew.....makes you think who will be next to not know you anymore.
In the grand scheme of things life is hard but I'm a soilder and I'm steppin on.

Lost and Found

Today I figure I would share a little bit more of my confused mixed up life with you all. I have been wondering what this new chapter and journey in my life is taking me? So far it feel like i am spinning my wheels and getting nowhere almost like i am treading water, sometimes so rapidly i feel like i am going to drown in the mediocrity. Everyday I have begun to lose myself a little more..... but i guess you have to lose yourself before you really find yourself..............

its soo hard to really find who you truly are which speaks to the question of how well did we know ourselves before we began looking for our new selves? I don't see why life has to be so hard and complex and why you can't just be carefree....

Today I wanted to cry on the subway, not because of the undesirables that occupied it but just because it seemed like the thing to do. I think that my mind is reeling and this in turn has something to do with the 3 nosebleeds i have had in the past 3 days. I swear it felt like a one a day vitamin!

Tomorrow i have a photo shoot and a dentist appointment.................

Hey xanga, once again it has been a long time since I last posted. I am just not getting the hang of this anymore. I have never been one who has ever been able to keep a diary let alone an online blog (too much evidence). I must say that things have been streamlined a bit though for a few weeks. Now that I have come to the realization that I DEFINITLY leaving my job at the end of the year I have a sort of peace like existance in the office. Not that this has shielded me from stupid assignments, documnets being lost (which were later found that I had nothing to do with) and all sorts of shinanigans! On the other hand I am trying to duck sexual harrassment at my job while trying to flirt heavily with one of the attorneys that work there........... :)

 

In other News:

December I will be joining my new grad chapter in BK and finally being financial again. So far I have been stepping it out with the step team and we are going to be tighter than........ well you get my point.

 

If anything else happens in what I have deemed the "mundane before the fabulous" part of my life I'll let you know.

Ciao!

                            Xanga It's been more than a month!!!!!
Well Monday was my birthday!!!!!! I am the big 23 I have just been having a wonderfulk life revelation ever since then. I had many well wishes a party at my office for me where there was a fabulous cake! Then my roomies gave me cards and offered me more cake (i couldn't accept!) Gifts included money, coat, shoes, new bed, and a ring!

I am loving my life and I have found some kind of clam with 23 where I know that it won't be long until my star is shining and my big break comes and that I am going to be happy no matter what. I seem to no longer be aprehensive about asking men out, saying how i really feel, and even chucking it all for a dream! Life is just good right now I feel a change........ and badap ba ba ba I'm lovin it!


So I have been tagged by my roommate to do this so here goes:

10 Years Ago:

 I just turned 13, I was just beginning high school and this guy named Adrain gave me his # and told me to call him. I never did cause I got scared but  I kind of think about what my life would have been like if I had called him...... nonetheless I was on the honor roll and occasionally still teased by this group of girls from middle school who are now...........???

 

5 Years Ago:

I graduated from hogh school and had a great summer relaxing and shopping before going off to college. I also found out I had a lump in my breast (yeah I know at 17/18) I had surgery on it. I broke up with my somewhat abusive boyfriend and feel into a depression.  At school I made no friends except my roommate because I was always crying. ...... I decided after semester one that I wanted to transfer to Howard or NYU but wound up staying where I was

 

1-Year Ago:

I was welcomed into the land of pink and green! I had just graduated from college and ready to move to NY the next day. I came home for a few months which was ehhh. I wound up spending my day redesigning and redecorating my house, painting my kitchen and dining room, and giving almost everything that hadn't been touched in 2 years to charity. I thought I was finally through with a guy that really was not good for me. I planned a b-day party for myself which tanked!

 

Yesterday:

 went to work then came home, went to a launch party for a company/movie of a girl i went to school with, had drinks, gossiped and laughed all the way home, had controversy and then went to sleep

  2. not making eye contact with people
  3. opening credit cards i don't need
  4. not speaking up more often
  5. ?
