Ignorant people.... Ignoramus' or nimrods lol

Good Morning People!

I hope this blog finds everyones weekend great.. Mine was busy.. Let's see.. I was sick last week, had to work the rest of the week (which included being at work at 5am on Thursday and Friday), then had class Friday nite from 5-9, 9am-9pm on Saturday and 9-12 on Sunday, THEN turn around and have to be at work at 5am on Monday.. Ain't life just grand?!?!?!

Today's original topic has been replaced with ignorant people because it seems that I am running into MORE and MORE of this breed.. I am starting to think that there is something in the water. That is how rampant people are displaying their lack of intelligence, common sense and brain power.

Ignorant people are very slick.. They hide behind their degrees, accomplishments, accolades, professional/personal titles, material possessions, etc.., while clucking their thick tongues and assuming things (or making fictitious generalizations) about other people or groups of people..

Ignorant people are selfish. They tend to only think about themselves, while making sure they receive all of the attention and limelight. They ALWAYS want you to hear about their STUPID issues, problems, stories or life examples ("Mee, mee, mee, what about meeeee?!").. Which gets VERY BORING!!!!

Ignorant people make quick decisions that are not thought out and therefore, the outcome of the decision hurts the ignorant person. However, being the ignoramus they are, they tend to blame their 'turn of bad luck' on society, a certain group of people, etc.. But, never, does an ignorant person look at themselves and say 'I made a bad decision. How do I rectify this??'..

Ignorant people do not know or understand the meaning of 'We do what we have to do in order to do what we want to do'.. 'Nuff said!!!!

Ignorant people do IGNORANT and STUPID things i.e. believing they control their fate and not GOD.... 'Nuff said!!!!

Ignorant people can not discern between a need and a want. Therefore, precious time is wasted and financial distress can occur, in most instances....

I hope I do not sound like I am going off on a tangent or a rant, but I am merely sharing the truth with you....

I know that no one is perfect. As human beings, we are all fallible. From time to time, you MAY slip into one or more of these categories.. But, just because you slip and fall does NOT mean you can NOT regain your balance and walk UPRIGHT again.. We all may be IGNORANT at one time or another, but we as REAL human beings can change and evolve for the better....

If you have taken offense to this, then I am NOT apologizing. This is merely my opinion.... I felt I had something on my heart to say, so therefore, I shared it with all of YOU lovely people out there....

****THANKS AGAIN for choosing to spend some time with me.. It's greatly appreciated.. Until next time, HOLLLLAAAAA!! Peace****

With this copy machine, I thee wed.... lol

Hello ALL!! I KNOW I am late with this week's edition of my blog, but this week has been soo hectic.. Today is Wednesday and it's my first day back to work.. Monday, I requested off for professional reasons; Tuesday, I had to call off for medical reasons and here it is Wednesday, I am at work y'all!

Anyhow, I want to thank all of you that prayed for me to get better -- It was MUCH appreciated!

Anyway, I was at work today, rocking my new 'do (A fierce slick 'em back ponytail..... Beyonce STYLE! .. I was tired of doing my hair y'all!) and I was racking my brain thinking of a topic to use in my blog.. And I came up with one, thanks to me and Janeia laughing at people at work.. Inner-office dating!!!! DING DING DING!!!!

First, I would like to say that inner office dating can be fun, awkward and scary at the same time.. Right now, I am thinking about the topic, and I AM SOOOO SURE that I never took part in inner office dating.. For more than one reason... Well, there was that one time when I was working at Pondo but hey, I was bored.... lol Plus it only lasted for like 2-3 months

Personally, I think if both parties are up for the ups and downs it has to offer (in addition to the regular highs and lows that a regular relationship offers), go right ahead. But, if you're like me, and you opt for the lowest amount of drama available, here are my issues with why inner office dating is a no-no..

1 - If you aren't married, DON'T start thinking your new co-worker is THE ONE
2 - If you did not know each other until you started working together, don't you learn more than what you need to know..
3 - If you guys break up / fall out (more than likely, you will), then you got to deal with this a-hole at work...
4 - When one of you needs 'time apart', you can FORGET about THAT!!!! You work with this idiot, REMEMBER?!?!

I can't think of anything else, but if I am discouraging inner office dating, then that also rules out inner office boning, inner office flirting, inner office baby daddy/baby mama drama (GRRRRRRRRR!!!!)

**** Until next time, this is ya girl.... Peace OUT! Holllllllaaaaa!

"I know it's not too ghetto...."

Hey guys!!!!

7 days without your "Jen" makes one weak lol.. Good play on words; I know!! lol

Hello all of you out there in e-world! lol..

I had Monday off, so no blogging for me. But, when I got back to work Tuesday, ohhh weee Lordy have mercy.. The ish hath hitteth the fan-eth lol..

One of my semi-superiors (I guess.. But, that's another story in itself) got into a "street brawl" over the wknd and I think it is the MOST degrading thing ever.. For one, she is a mother; For two, she is BEYOND grown (in age) if you get my drift...

This led me to title my blog after the infamous, cute and quirky line of that EXTRA HOT Faith Evans song "You Gets No Love".. (... 'I know it's not too ghetto.. I know it's not too ghetto.. I said I know it's not too ghetto..) Anyhow, my topic today is what IS the age limit or cut off (in number or mentality) for ACTING a D&%$ fool, publicly or privately..

IMO (In my opinion), I think that if one or more of the following 'conditions' or 'situations' are present then you should not be outside 'scrapping' like a friggin' dog in the street.. The conditions are as follows:

1 - You have a child (ren) lol (The kids need to be worried about kid things, not mommy's bail $)
2 - You are over 25 ( I think that may be too old.. maybe this should be lowered)
3 - Your job is salary (LOL - for obvious reasons)
4 - You have at least a Bachelor's Degree; PLEASE Don't have a Master's or a D&^% Doctorate..

Now, the above conditions are merely starters.. PLEASE FEEL FREE to add to these or elaborate in the comments section.. However, these abovementioned conditions are somewhat reasons for not to go out and scrap.. Self-defense is another issue *WINK*

Again, thanks again for tuning in this week.. Since I was late and did not blog on Monday, maybe I will try to hit you guys off with another dose of me later this week.. Until next time, HOLLLLLAAAA! *Peace*

Jenny Don't!!.... Hurt 'em? Not me!!!! LOL

Good Morning to you

- Whether you be one of my FOUR (what a lovely number BTW ;-) supremely exquisite supporters who aren't ashamed to openly subscribe to me, a private subscriber or a new reader.. Thank for stopping by for your daily dose of 'JEN'.. And I ain't BOTTOMSHELF 'JEN' EITHER *INSIDE JOKE* lol

**DISCLAIMER** I am running off of an hour and a half of sleep TOPS because of the DayLight Savings Time, me being restless and not being able to fall asleep and when I actually DID fall asleep, my boyfriend locked himself out of the apartment lol.. Anyway, please excuse the spelling and/ or grammatical errors in advance....

Anyhow, today, I kind of have a topic that I would like to speak my mind about. Last night, as I was struggling to do a rewrite of one my papers for grad school, I noticed that I was just doing the paper to fulfill the requirements and nothing else. For some of you, this may seem like a normal happenstance but for me, when I do a paper, I put my all in to it. I learn from myself, from others, as well as peer editors who help out during the revising process. But, ever since I have been in grad school, I have not felt the need to challenge myself and rise to the occasion. When my professors even attempt to push and try to get more out of me, I simply 'fall short' of what is being asked of me.

I began to question was I smart enough to do the work, which my professors never brought up. However, I quickly ruled that out because I received all A's and a B- in my first semester of grad school. Second, I began to question was I in teh right program. That was eventually ruled out because the program was about Social Justice, an area that I feel closely embodies what type of person I am, inside and out. Then, I began to look at was it the class schedule and such. This has not been ruled out, but in some ways, my intuition is telling me that this is not the negligent factor, either. One of the last things I thought was me as a person, where I am at in my life, my AKAmplishments ;-) as well as my goals for self. Then, it hit me. I am in a program with all of these older people, who are at least one of the following: 1- Have been out of school for at least 5 years or more; 2 - Have established SOME type of foundation in their careers or lives; 3- Have SOME type of financial stability and foundation that is SOMEWHAT dependable; 3- Have full-time jobs; 4- Have kids; 5- Have lived their lives, identified a passion for changing the world and are confident in where they are right now....

Personally, this kind of unnerved me once I really sat down, thought about it and broke it down for myself and others to see where I was coming from. I have not been out of undergrad for even a year yet; there was not even 6 months in between the time from whence I graduated until the time I began graduate coursework at MG. My life and JOB (I don't have a career right now; YES there IS a difference) really don't NOT (Yea I said it) have any real foundation or afford me the opportunity to feel "financially secure" or "financially dependable". I do NOT work full time (UGH this h$% a$$ list is GETTING WORSE AND WORSE for me, aint it?!?!). I am ONLY 23 years old, so therefore, I feel like I have not lived my life some. I do NOT have children and I am NOT confident/comfortable in where I am at right now..

However, I eventually want to change the world and have an impact on society in the manifestation of opening a non profit agency, serving black males ages 16-30, who have felonious records. I just feel that right now, I can NOT effectively help ANYBODY if I can't help myself. I need to help me first before I "SAVE THE WORLD"!

But, alas, I suffer from 'Good Achievers' -itis and I MUST complete what I start. It DOES kind of unnerve me that after I broke this ALL the way down for people, they told me the following:

'You have an educated mind. You were made to educated. You were made to go to school. These things come so easy for you. That is a gift you should not waste. Don't drop out.'

I understand that education and learning comes more naturally to others than some, but I kind of think that is such a "cop-out" answer in a sense. Anyway, I'm tired of writing about this cuz it is making me mad GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. Let me get back to friggin' work.. err, I mean my jiz-ob! lol

As usual, BE BLESSED!!!!! YOU could have been anywhere else, but YOU decided to be with me and read what I had to say .. Awwww *tear*.. lol.. Have a great day and a properous week.. and I will get at you guys SOON! Holllllaaaa!

Just another day....

Hello again all my faithful readers :-)

First off, I would like to thank all of my supporters and fans ;-) for tuning in and reading my blog yesterday.. THANKS!!!! And to those 2 special people who are my followers, THANX AN ISH-LOAD lol (My Klub - Get DOWN or Lay DOWN! & C. Rolle).. THANX LOVES!!!!

Anyhow, I decided to blog before the next Monday; this can be quite addictive, which can be a good or bad thing..

I'm at work right now and my right side has been hurting since Friday evening.. Grrrr.. I haven't had a drink since my "J'Day" and I will NOT have a drink until March 22nd.. BTW, I have A VERY important audition on the 21st, so I'm not drinking juice or pop either.. Grrrr lol Hopefully, I did not tear the tissues in my kidney..again.. That was h*^% and the last time I did that.. ugh, let's not go there, boys and girls...

Hopefully, my supervisor lets me leave early because I don't have an appetite (which is soooooooo not like ya girl) Grrrrrr... But, I am going shopping w/my boyfriend and his niece.. Hoepfully, I dont overspend.. My card suffers from what my Dad has dubbed "Over-Swipage" hehehe

Lately, I been thinking about how I can not wait for Spring to get here and the Summer.. However, I'm looking forward to April since I don't have classes in April.. Super Deee Duper.. Why am I in SUCH a rush for the weather to change you ask? Cuz its' COLD.. BRRR.. Im freezin' my nubbzies off.. Sheesh!..

Anyway, enough random talk.. Let me pick a topic. How about..... Love?.. Survey says.. DING DING DING! We got a winner folks!

Everyone is obsesses with love, whether it be their love for someone else, another's love life, reality TV shows involving love, etc.... It's just a controversial topic because the spectrum of opinion is sooo large and soo broad..

Take me for example. I don't think I am obsessed with love, but I do know that love is a powerful thing. Addictive like drugs, and can be harmful like a poison. Some people have a way of "losing their selves" when they proclaim love.. I used to do that when I was younger, but now that I am older and enjoying a relationship (mind you I havent had a relationship since October 2005), I can easily point out my faults and see where I went wrong and where I could have done better.

This girl I know (who shall remain nameless) is in love BAD.. But she has TRULY lost herself and her identity. She does not know she is anymore. She has surrendered the evil side of love. She does not do much of anything unless she has his permission, she knows and ACCEPTS his infidelity as the norm (she does not even question it anymore.. ewwwyy).. He blatantly disrespects her, but her excuse for not leaving is this: He hasn't hit me, so he isn't THAT disrespectful. Besides, why leave now? I KNOW I am the one for him and he is NOT leaving! I refuse to allow another chick to take what's MINE!!

QUESTION!!!! HOW is ANYBODY YOURS?!?! ESPECIALLY (or as the Spanish would say 'especialmente' (Es-Spes-see-al-men-tay) lol.. when he OPENLY cheats on you and treats you like something beneath him instead of his equal.. DON'T be letting him PLAY you for a side order when you don't look like a FRENCH FRY!

She should use my WORD OF THE WEEK : "YOU'RE CUT OFF!"

Feel free to comment and be looking for my blog next week... HOLLA! lol... ;-).. God BLESS you ALL!

Confused (Con-fwused)

Good morning all and welcome to my blogsite!

This is my first time having a blog in this type of manner. I had one on MySpace, but the upkeep on it was kind of horrible.. Or as the spanish would say 'whore-d-ree-blay' lol.. Anywho, here goes nothing....

I am at work right now and have been here since 5am. Life after graduation is not no hoe, as most recent alums can attest to. With the economy the way it is, I am grateful that I have a way by which to make the ends meet. I have my own apartment, my own car, and I loving and supportive boyfriend.. Awww! I know right? But, alas, life right now, ain't not d*&% crystal stair!

Lately, those who used to be in my inner circle when I was in undergrad are slowly being removed by their own actions. IDK what the real reason is, but HEY, the streets is TALKIN' YO! lol.. Those people (and they should have a GOOD feeling who they are) should reflect on themselves, asking what it is about themselves that they dont like.. What IS it that makes them want to "befriend" people for their own selfish gain? I thought everyone knew that geunine people TRULY do succeed in the long run.. The level of disrespect they BLATANTLY display to those who afforded you the opportunity to be where you at makes me sick to my stomach.. I'm just confused about that.. *sighs* Some will be honorable, while some are going to be disloyal.. But, I digress..

Karma is, gently put, a be-otch!.. Straight-shootin' str8 from the hip.. People really need to be careful WHAT it is they are putting out there in the universe because everything you put out does COME back around, in one form or another.. Where do you think the saying "Everything that goes around comes back around...." comes from, you nimrods....

It is 2009! I am living for MYSELF and NO ONE ELSE!! I just want that to be perfectly clear! I feel that I most often bend over backwards for people and go out of my way to make sure people I deal with are comfortably accomodated, but I'm tired of being taken advantaged of.. Enough is enough!

My 3 words for this week (and 2009 as well) are: You're cut off!

Be looking for my blog series to be updated weekly (HOPEFULLY!).... Love you all faithful readers... God bless!
