Work, work and more work....

Hello All!!

Greetings from my PC, in my comfy chair..

Right now, I BEYOND exhausted.. My FINAL evaluation for T4A is here.....

Sweetest Day just passed and it was GREAT! Hopefully, my sweety pie enjoyed his day.. If he is who I believe him to be, then I hope to spend more holidays with him..

But, that is another blog for another day....

Right now, I am feeling the pressures of being number one..

I need to release some of this competitive nature I have and know that I am the ONLY one that can show these people I am THE PERSON, THE WOMAN, needed for them to succeed. NO pressure, right?!?! I got my clothes picked out.. Now I need to see if I can find a blazer, if not, this nice button up will do just fine :-)

Few words of inspiration for those like myself? Please know that you can do anything.. Yea, us young people.. We go to school full time, work full time, working on opening our own businesses or non profits, presenting to entire boards ideas for progression and change, etc.

............Do you boo! Until next time.... Hollllaaaa!!

Next post topic? Sweetest Day!!!!!

Dreaming..

Hey All...

Topic for the today is "DREAMS.."

When I eat after 8:30pm EST, I have nightmares.. Really weird.. For example, I ate sum chicken parmesan and penne pasta with marinara sauce last night with the boo before we went bowling at like 10pm EST (LOL @ EST), and I had a crazy nightmare..

I said a curse word in a classroom setting and this African man (whom I am assuming was my prof) took his belt off and said he was offended by my lack of vocab and lack of respect shown my choice of speech. I continued my speech and made it a point to put a "disclaimer" on my word choice, citing the rights of American, more specifically, the First Amendment.

Being that I am a smart ass, I said "As an American, I and we have the right to say what I want, when I want, and however the fuck I want to!" The prof hit me with his belt and I gave him an eye jammy, and it was on... On like Donkey Kong.. On like Ray Dong Chong! lol

So, as I proceeded to beat the hell out of this dude, they call campus security. After the fight is broken up, he is unconscious and I am still running off of the rush of adrenaline. Some Deltas (IDK where they came from) in pari, came to his rescue with glasses of water and towels. I then said, "Look at the irony in this situation. His right of privilege as a Black man over me as a Black woman is giving him care and assistance, even though he has no respects for the rights of anybody.. Amazing.."

Then I woke up!!

I have NO idea where this dream came from.. Maybe it means that I am having an external conflict with an entity threatening to take away my personality and being the fighter I am, I can not just sit there, knowing something or somebody is trying to change me, and just let it happen.

Change is progress, whether it is a change for the good or bad. Embrace it, learn more and move on..

IDK.. Leave comments if you have a different opinion... Kanye West Shrug

Crossroads: Fear's Bitch

Good Morning everyone!

Today, I would like to wish everyone peace and blessings as we venture into this semi-abbreviated week due to the Memorial Day holiday. On another note, sleep is a state of mind.. Cuz a chica is TIRED!

Well, I had a pretty full Memorial Day weekend. I didnt get any real sleep until Sunday nite after my boyfriend's b'day get together. I had class all weekend, which was sooo not the 'bees-knees'.. But, Saturday nite was so much fun with my b/f and Sunday was cool too. Monday, I went to my AP's bbq at a quaint lil hidden park in downtown Detroit. In addition to starting my new job last Friday, I am working my first week of training at the new job this week while finishing up my last week with the Y (Y=Yippee in this sit-chee-ay-shun lol)

.... Enough of my aimless rambling.... On the 'da blog....

We all come to a point in our life that one may classify as the 'breaking point' or a 'defining moment' that truly shows our strength in a time of adversity. For instance, you may be used to doing one type or classification of work, but you may be presented with the opportunity to do something that are totally not accustomed to. Do you: A- Take this new opportunity by the horns and roll with the punches or B- Let fear dictate your actions.

Girlfriends is my ALL TIME fave TV series.. Anybody that knows me already knew that though.. Anyway, when Maya was in unknown territory (fist time author doing a first time book signing when her independent book was published by a big-time publisher), Lynn tried to ease her nerves by telling her words that a "great author" once wrote. Those words (which I try to live by) were: Don't Let Fear make You Its' Bitch!.. Yea, it is pretty vulgar and you can't say it in church, but a lot of people allow fear to come into their everyday lives, rendering them helpless and allowing them to be "bitch-i-fied"!

Why do people allow fear to make them its' bitch? IDK the real reason, but people need to start realizing that they are WORTH the blessings that are being bestowed upon them. If GOD saw fit for you to bless you with an opportunity, then take it.. Don't pass up a blessing. Always being open, receptive and receiving to whatever comes your way is a start.

Also, one should be able to take things at face value while being open and flexible to change and growth. Don't be stagnant in your growth; don't be a victim of the 'innocent bystander' concept, where you are allowing to life to live you, and not the other way around. Don't allow life to pass you by, how water rolls off of ones' back. Don't just sit there; There is always room for improvement. My old boss used to always say "If you have time to lean, then you have time to clean". You can use this saying for life. Clean up those areas of your lives which are not up to standard, at least in your eyes. Work on things to better yourself and your situation. Patience is key in this stage, please be advised.

****Again, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support. If you like what you read, feel free to tell a friend and share the link.. It doesn't cost anything: PROMISE! lol.. Have a blessed and prosperous week.. Until next time, HOLLLLLAAA!!!!!****

Can you be my Wifey??

Good Morning People! Well, I know I haven't double blogged in a minute, but ever since I wrote my last blog, I was looking forward to writing my next blog cuz the topic was very intersting for me to dissect.

Today's topic is the hood term wifey. Today we will define what is a wifey, how one can become (or steer away from being) one, and why that term/role may or may not be for everyone.

First, we should define what is a wifey.. Well, even though I am only 23 (and a female) I feel that I have all of the necessary tools to say what exactly a wifey consists of. A wifey is someone (most often a female, even though I claimed to 'wife' up dudes lol - that's another topic for another day lol) Well, a wifey (IMO) is a female who does all the duties that a wife or serious girlfriend might do, which can include (but are not limited to): Cooking, cleaning, nurturing, etc.. (IMO the man can do these duties as well!!!) The base or origin word of wifey is 'wife' which is a partner or participant in a marriage.

Now, that we have defined what a wifey is, I will now lay out all of the informational background as to why some females aspire to be (or detest the image) of being one. Personally, I do not want to be wifey; It seems as if wifey's or sum BM's do not ever get rings or even a serious philandering-free commitment out of their significant other. And you know my saying now, "You ain't OFFICIALLY on the team, if you aint got a ring!!!!" You do not have any sense of a REAL role unless he approaches you with a REAL commitment ( at least a commitment both of you can OPENLY and HONESTLY be SATISFIED with). Some females DO aspire to be wifey's because they feel that it may be stepping stone to where they want to be. However, settling for less is never an option. One of my sorors/advisors/mentors/Choir Director :-) told me something a long time ago that REALLY stuck with me and I quote it all the time, whenever it applies and Im gon use it now: When you settle for less that what you deserve, you get even less than what you settled for. IDK about you, but that quote was told me to some years ago and it is still a VERY powerful and motivational quote. Some of those females who settle, thinking they are using that position as a stepping stone, may often be in for a rude awakening when reality sets in. Also, some females detest being placed in the position of wifey versus something else. Firsthand, I can say that I am not going to be doing wifely duties unless I am a wife, not a wifey. Some gals choose not to be wifeys because settling isn't high on their list of priorities.. Being satisfied is!

The term/role of wifey is not for everyone. Personally, it isn't for me because I am a grown woman, whom IMO is NEVER a wifey, but somebody's future wife. There IS a difference. Real women don't settle and accept things as the status quo; Girls let water roll off of their back and do NOTHING about to improve the situation at hand.

****AGAIN, THANX FOR TUNING IN THIS WEEK. IF YOU LIKE THE MATERIAL YOU ARE READING, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK TO MY BLOG WITH OTHERS. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK, STAY BLESSED AND HAVE A FABULOUS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. UNTIL NEXT TIME.... HOLLLLLLAAAA!!!!****

Uh Uh... Rudeness?!?!

Good Morning and a cheerio to all of you out there in e-world!! I want to say 'YAY' to my two new followers.... THANX FOR COMING OVER TO THE 'TRUE BELIEVER' side of blogging.. I just ate these two peanut butter cookies at work and they spoke to my soul.. Now, I feel like a fatty cuz Im STILL looking forward to lunch.. But anyhow, I hope this blog finds everyone in good spirits on this GLORIOUS Tuesday morning..

I started working out yesterday.. Grrr.. Combined with my eating rite, better and more healthy bit, I should be fine.. and sexier by the time July hits.. Get 'em girl! lol

Anyway, my topic for the day is rude people.... Rude people should just slit their wrists and bleed to death silently in a corner somewhere.. No, for real.. Perhaps lol.. But, in my line of work (customer service, more specifically, servicing these corporate big wigs who think that their ish don't reek).. My topic today will be dispelling how I CHOOSE to deal with this specific population and how I turn the tables while still being a reputable employee.

For one, we should define what makes a customer or client rude. Sure, we all should use our common sense to define a rude client or customer. Anyway, a rude client or customer is a person coming in requesting service from an employee at a service-based establishment, who, upon entry of the establishment verbally belittles the employee or berates them when things do not go their way or they are prejudging the employee on one of many personal levels (i.e. education, salary, race, etc...)

Now, that we know what constitutes a rude client or customer, we can now delve into what exactly I CHOOSE to do to combat these "Rude Judes".. For now, we will refer to those people as "Goofy Douches" here on out.. But for short, they will be "GD"s lol... OHHH Jeff is riot at work!

Anyhow, I just want to say when I encounter GDs, I simply smile and make fun of them in my head. For example, when a stupid person comes in and demands info on their acoount, I politely smile and say please hold while I pull up your information. While doing so, I call them names in my head, such as Tight-Ass, Weak Ass, Punk Ass, Bitches of Hell-Damnation lol.. I think you get my drift.. This is such a stress reliever and makes me laugh even more.. So, when you encounter dumb a** people in your line of work, DO NOT stress. Just giggle, and realize that ur more fine than they will ever be and call them all sorts of funny and demeaning names in your head. It helps me.. maybe it can help you! :-)

BY doing this, I am still being a reputable employee because I am filling this service that is being asked of me and I am not flying off the handle at ignorant people plus I am entertaining myself. DOUBLE AND TRIPLE POSITIVES!!!!!!!!!! LOL

ANyhow, that is all for the day.. Tune in next week...

****THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE TUNED IN THIS WEEK. I AM SOOO GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOUR READING AND FOLLOWING.. UNTIL NEXT WEEK, HOLLLLAAAAA!!!!****
