Greetings..

Its been awhile since I've talk to many of you and even those I do speak to on a regular don't exactly know everything that's going on with me, so I thought I'd update everyone via my friend myspace! So lets see, I guess the best place to start is at the beginning...

So this school year I am President of my University! Its been mad fun and very very busy. I love being busy, I finally feel like I serve a purpose at my campus. I'm not just another student anymore, administrators, staff and deans are now my buddies at school..lol..so odd. In many ways I'm leaving my legacy and that feels really good. I honestly believe in my heart I'm making some positive strides within SFSU and most importantly within myself.

Along with school I just snabbed a pretty dope internship at a High end PR Frim. Its unpaid, but aren't those the best? I can't really say I'm learning a great amount, but its PR and event planning and in this business its 70 percent personality (30 percent involves creativity and organization), and that can't be taught. I'm glad to be getting the hands on experience. I am however learning from the mistakes of the staff, and that's good so when I do pursue my career I know not to make those. But overall I love the company, the clients, the events, and I just know this is where God wants me to be.

So real quick back to school. School FUCKN SUX, and if your in school I know you hear me when I say that. Because I have all these things going on its so hard for me to get motivated and focus, needless to say my grades are suffering. Its hard when your close to the end and you feel like the classes you are taking are POINTLESS, and you know what they really are, but what can I do? I just need to get it over with so I can get the hell out of State and start making the big bucks! So right now, academically, I'm looking for motivation...anywhere I can find it because I'm desperate!

Okay so something a little more interesting, my love life? Yes that's a question mark because my love life is totally shot to hell ..lol..maybe I'm being dramatic but ya I dont really have one. If you know me I've never really had a boyfriend (okay 2 in high school but does that count?). I don't know its just never really happen for me: Mr. Right. I mean I've met some great guys but again it hasn't really developed into anything. I've had great dates, and then some where i was like "what am i doing with my life?". I've tried a new approach to not force anything, but that's hard for me, but we shall see how that works. I mean i think i'm a good catch lol. But I believe is preparing me for my one and only so I'm not trippn too much, i know he got me. It would just be nice to have someone, because as fun as it is meeting new people and dating its also a lot of work and the end results are frustrating at times. So I guess be on the look out for the update involving me and love..lol...hopefully soon. To be honest with everything on my plate I don't have time to be worried about no man..lol. He'll come along when God sends him.. ;)

So I guess in conclusion the presidency is going great, internship is a blast, school can suck it, and love? well that's a too be continued. Yes I get burnt out...a lot. I live a very stressful life and this may seem conceded or just very vain, but there are days I wish i wasn't me, I want to be normal, you know just go to class and go home or even just to work, class and home. But I've accepted a long time ago that I'm not normal, and probably will never be lol. ....

As ALWAYS I'm blessed and greatful for all the wonderful people in my life. Love you all!

Have good night and a pleasant tomorrow!

I love myspace! But I also hate...hate...hate it! Let me explain...

So it seems like everyone has myspace. That's great ...but not so great when you meet a person you really like. Maybe its just me, but I hate the fact that I can read all the comments....from the wall to the pictures. Then of course I try to go to the person who left the comment's page and see if the person I'm feeln at the time responded...and of course sometimes those pages are blocked I spend my time agonizing and going crazy over why might or might not have been said. Myspace why do you do this to me???

Should I be blaming Myspace, probably not. I should be blaming my own insecurities, my nosiness, and overall jealousy issues (btw I've come to terms with the fact that this is me...but I'm okay with it..lol). In the mean time though, myspace is gonna take the heat for this. Man...I need to get it together with MYSPACE! I love it...but can't stand it!

Long story short thanks to myspace I have a hard time trusting certain individuals due to myspace...so f'n sad !

Alright~

>>>>I have a bad habit of going back to my exes I think the term for this is known as back sliding. I do this ALL THE time with people I've dated in the past or even just use to talk to. Its a bad habit! It creates unneeded stress. Soo recently I of course slipped up and tried to reunite with an ex. Not like date or anything I was actually jus trynna play ketchup. Anywho, he seemed cool, seemed like a change person....sike! He's still selfish, immature, and just a total lame! Anywho I think i've finally learned my lesson! Your ex is you ex for a reason. And btw your ex is NOT FRIEND...we just aren't friends...lol .... Its not by accident, but I'm glad he was a total jerk b/c it was kinda like confirmation that the right decision was made ya know. So now i'm back on top! Ready to stop bs'n!

Man I love a good vent!

2006 has come to an end!

I for one am happy to see it go. Yes I met some wonderful people this year (including my favs Cris, Snoop, and G-Unit), and yes I've got to do many things that I've never done before. But at the same time, and as with every year you have some trying times. Trying times with school, love, employment (lol)...but I guess that's life.

2006 what else can I say but thanks for the laffs and the tears, the good times, the bad times, and the horrible times. My highest points and lowest points. All these things showed its face this year. I am thankful for it all because it has just prepared my for 2007. I am excited to see what it will bring for me. I believe in 2006 I have grown SOOO much as a person...more than any year. Yes I am blessed!

Thusly, I am ready for the next chapter in my life. To move on and let go of the past. Get rid of the dead weight around me and make room for progression......2007 yo estoy lista!

2007 RESOLUTIONS:

1. Learn how to share..lol

2.Do not let a man (or anyone else for that matter) dictate the way I feel about me...

3. Don't get discourage about school

5. Be wise with my money

4.Enjoy life

So in conclusion...thank you to EVERYONE who made my 2006 grand! You all know who you are...and you know waht even if you are one of the ones that contributed to trying times (again you all know who you are)  in my 2006 its all good b/c after all you put me through you'd think I'd despise you, But in the end I wanna thank you, because you made me that much stronger!

First of all I would just like to say if you missed this concert or didn't even make an attempt ot attend....YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND. This concert was lyfe changing.

So its sooo amazing to see a legend in the flesh ..in there arena doing what they do best. Its very safe to say that Mariah is an icon..a living legend. I love Beyonce, truely I do but  she's so far from Mariah status. That voice was just amazing. She moved me with almost every song and every note she hit so perfectly. She is an inspiration, She's a legend yet she conveys her mortality. She's human with the same heartaches, happiness, and other lyfe issues similar to mine and others that can easily be felt in her music. I was feeling her on "Don't Forget About Us".."We Belong Together"...even on "Vision of Love"...yes Mariah are u singing about me?!  Mariah is truely emancipated, not bound by anything or anybody and it showed. She is being a great example to her fellow sistahs!  That concert was phenominal. Was it the best I've ever been to...no. But its a top Five...I guess it would go

1 Boys II Men

2 Destiny's Child

3 Mariah Carey

4 Kanye West (even though my man who was supposed to go with me didnt...lol..he was still sweet about it though)

5. B2K

GrAnDmA,

What i do, i do for u
I couldn't stand to see u fall
I'd risk my own life if i had to

you didnt lecture me for nothing
If i hadnt listened... now that would be somthing
but i did, because i care
And now your gone... i dont think its fair

you'll be wit me till the day i die
i'll hold on to the love i have for u
i'll cherish every tear i cry
it all happend so soon
i guess this is goodbye*

*written by a beautiful cuzzn of mine and one of tha many grandchildren my grandma had*

Grandma I will always love you and forever you will be in my heart. I know you will be with me everyday of my life. Your warmth will be missed, BUT never EVER forgotton!
