Living Single

Over a decade ago, one of the Friday 8pm shows that we waited all week to see was, "Living Single."  This show chronicled the lives of 4 single independent black women.



There aren't very many people that can hear the theme song and keep from singing along:

"We are living (ohhh) single.  Ooh in a 90s kinda world, I'm glad I got my girls.  Keep ya head up (what) keep ya head up (that's right).  Whenever this life get tough you gotta fight wit my home girls standing to my left and my right true blue its tight like glue.  We are living single."

As I watched "Living Single" this morning and laughed my butt off, I was reminded of just how funny it was and still is.  There aren't very many good shows out there now-a-days.  Max, Khadijah, Regine and Synclaire dealt with a lot of the same things we deal with in this day and age.  The players always change, but the game remains the same!


I'm proud to say that I'm a happily single woman!! :)   

YOU WILL SUCCEED!

I have come to notice that everyone does not have my best interest at heart. Unfortunately even those who are friends and family do not want you to succeed. There are some that pretend they care and their attitude is what's called "nice nasty." Their actions (especially in front of others) make people think they really care, but in actuality they don't. I just want to say that the devil is a:

When you feel discouraged refer to these scriptures:

(Philippians 4:13) 

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

&

(Romans 8:28) 

"All things work together for good to them that love God."

If you love the Lord and follow his word you will always succeed!!  

Don't let anyone put you down.

My book signing for, "The Fab Four" went really well!!  Praise God!  Much love to all of those who came out to support me.  I love you all. <3 

7 Random Things About Me

I’ve decided to restart my blog, as my life has picked up and there are so many great and positive things taking place.  I thought it’d be fun and interesting to make my 1^st blog in 2 years, all about me!  So here are 7 (because that’s my favorite number) random things about me, right off the top of my head.

1. My first novel is officially published!

2. I attend Bloomfield College.

3. I’m obsessed with notebooks, pens, computers and the Spanish culture.

4. I’m not celebrating Christmas this year.

5. “It’s the God in me” <-(that’s not technically anything about me, but that just popped into my head.)

6. I get really irritated when people spell and pronounce things wrong.

7. I have nicknames for just about everyone.  (Even if they don’t know it!)

*Here's a bonus one -> I'm pretty much always really really random!

Eastern Stars Ball???????

The annual Eastern Stars ball is coming up. I've never been formally invited until this year and now everyone wants to know if I'm going. I would like to, kinda, sorta...I think. I'm not really the dancing partying type, but it's a family thing and my aunt says we'll have a lot of fun. I really don't know what to do. I'm trying to talk my girlfriend into going with me, but if she says no, that will be my way out. Knowing me, I'll be the boring one that goes there and doesn't even dance!!

Disappointed :(

I hope no one marked my words like I asked, cuz I totally bombed that Psyc test. I'm so mad at myself. I tried, but not as hard as I could have. When I got my paper back. I instantly saw 4 problems that I got wrong and immediately knew what the correct answer. I guess I should have concentrated a bit more while taking that test.

To top things I off I have a test in Algebra tomorrow. I'm not half as confident as I would like to be. You can't really study for a math test. It's either you know it or don't. I HOPE I KNOW IT!!!!!!!!

First two grades

Well well well. I've had my first two tests in my two classes and regardless of what anyone thinks, I'm very proud of myself. Let's start with Psychology. For starters, I absolutely love that class. I was shooting for an A on my first test. I was positive that's what I'd get. What I ended up with was a B. I was satisfied, although I still wish I could've pulled that A. Next time around, I'm definitely getting an A. Mark my words! :)

Moving right along to Algebra. I was always pretty good at math until I was introduced to that dreadful algebra. I firmly believe that letters have no place in the math world. I don't think people should have to add or multiply letters to numbers. That's a little strange to me. But regardless of how I feel, I have to deal with it. So I sat in my class the first two weeks as my professor talked gibberish -which is essentially what algebra sounds like to me- and tried to make sense of it.

We were given our first test and needless to say, I did horribly. I'd rather not disclose the exact grade. For a moment, I felt that it was all hopeless, and that I was wasting mine and the professor's time, but I didn't want to give up. Last night I was working on my lastest homework packet for algebra, and I'll be damned. I knew what the hell I was doing. So far there are about 3 problems that I've gotten stuck on, and skipped for now, but everything else I completely understand. I'm so proud of myself. I think I'll do a lot better on the next test.

Now here's the irony of the whole thing. In Psychology the professor said that over all as a class, we did OKAY, and that there were only about two A's. I turned out to be one of those people that did fairly well. In Algebra the professor said over all as a class we did PRETTY GOOD, I turned out to be at the bottom of the barrell with a terrible grade.

But as I said, I'm still very proud of myself.
