The Conversation

Hill Harper is one of my favorite authors. Considering the fact at this present moment I cannot remember any authors that jump out at me whom I absolutely adore for their novels, it is safe to say he is my favorite. His latest book The Conversation is just another example of the wonderful man that Hill has become throughout life. Sharing his life stories and advice on relationships makes this a must read! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, especially African-Americans. I focuses on the relationships between African-American women and men, and why it is so hard for us to maintain healthy, trusting, loyal, honest, and long-lasting relationships. The advice he gives to us, and receives from others to share with us is something all of us need to hear, learn from, understand, and also share. After I'm done with this book I'm lending it out to a friend, but for the most part everyone needs to go out and support good African-American literature...no matter what race you are it is good advice and a great read for all of us.

Twitter Step Your Game Up

I know everyone is so called "intitled" to believe in whatever they want, but come on now! No God as a trending topic...it's not tripping me out as much as other tweeters, but based on some of the tweets I read some people with a weak sense of faith are actually questioning their faith because of this! This is crazy...I hope they realize that the intented trending topic was No God, No peace..Know God, Know Peace. Twitter needs som editors or something. Now atheists are tweetin insulting tweets about those who are religious in a way and it's just nonsense. Thanks for giving me something to blog about however...I know God is real I kid you not that I could be dead right now if He did not exist and if he did not have a bigger plan for me. He has given me a purpose to stay on this Earth longer each day and for that I am very thankful for.

Long time, no blog

Hello out there! I haven't blogged in a while, so since I'm at sort of a resting point finally and I have time to type I'll squeeze in a blog. Of course at the moment I am multitasking as always...I think I may read a little bit before heading to bed. A few updates in my life right now, I've just been working and schooling for the most part. This past weekend I gave myself a bit of a break however...I went to Busch Gardens for Howl-O-Scream with the crew. It was so much fun! I was a bit nervous at first because of the scary people and haunted houses, but in the end I'm so glad I went I really enjoyed it and needed to spend some off campus quality fun time with my friends. My midterm grades are banging too! Except for one...I'm not too upset about it because I know it is not final and I can and will do better. I'm proud that a majority of my work and recently ability to maintain a stressfree lifestyle is paying off. Granted I am due for some more trips to the doctor soon, but I have God with me...with Him I fear nothing and no one and everything will be alright :-) I'm so happy he has brought good and stable people into my life and also continues to show me the type of people j don't need. I am so thankful to Him for that and so much more. I hope everyone can muster up enough hope, love, strength, and faith to feel the same. I will write more later...time to get ready for bed...goodnight! God bless.

Handsome

This guy right here has got to be one of the sexiest men on the planet. lol..no joke I was just browsing the internet looking at random images, and stumbled upon this. I'm glad I found it. Random I know, but that's what blogging is about. I love men in general, however black men are just the cream of the crop for me. It's just something about their pride, stride, confidence, willingness, passion, struggle, and strength that makes me thank God everyday for them. Be it my father, grandfathers, uncles, cousins, boyfriend, best friends, etc. I am proud to have these men all around. Black men if you feel no one else appreciates you know that I do. Much love.

Too many tears...

My heart is going out to everyone across the world tonight. I don't intend to write much because I should be getting sleep, but I have to write something. This is crazy. We lost Derrion last week to some nonsense, and another boy was found critically injured earlier this week. Both of these occurrences happened in my hometown Chicago, but I'm sadly sure there is violence going on in other parts of the country and world. I'm watching First 48 on A&E as well and all this violence we have towards each other is just crazy! I'm outraged at this. There are children being killed!! HEALTHY AND INNOCENT CHILDREN BEING KILLED!!! KILLED PEOPLE!! DO YOU HEAR ME??!!! PEOPLE MY AGE! IT'S CRAZY!!! Our youth hasn't even gotten a chance to see the world yet...let alone leave the country, state, or even city they are from. WHY ARE WE TAKING THEIR LIVES FROM THEM?!!! I can't be the only one feeling remorse for actions I did not commit! I am just deeply ashamed that this is what we are teaching our children and each other about how to treat each other. This is ridiculous..I can't write much more right now...Every name and face of our youth how have had their lives stolen from them are plastered to my head. It troubles me because my own cousin was one of those people. It is probably one thing I never told anyone, and I'm not even sure all of my family knows but yes my own cousin. I never ever got a chance to meet her. However, one month I hear she had a beautiful baby girl....next month I hear her boyfriend shot her dead....now my baby cousin who I'll probably never meet...will never know her mom and her dad (i believe he was the father) is obviously in prison for life. My cousin was my age at the time....I believe it was 17 or 18. Enough said for tonight. Allah, please keep us all in your hands...and help us to learn better ways and especially how to cherish and appreciate life and one another. Thank you for the life you have given me. Although I may not always do right, I appreciate being able to learn from my wrongs. Hopefully I will be able to one day effectively change my people (all people) with words of love, encouragement, respect, peace and unity. Continue to bless us. Thank you and I love you. Amen.

The Musician In Me...

Hey everyone, i'm up and at em...listening to Kid Cudi again...as usual lol..i love how a lot of his music especially on his album has live strings on it! This really excites me since I'm learning how to play the violin now! I picked up my violin today too, and while doing that the ladies found out i'm a saxophonist and they picked me up to play for this play later on this year I'm excited to pick my sax back up since last time I play a song in front of people was April. That's a long time for me, I'm suffering withdraws at the moment. In addition, now I really need to get my alto fixed since my other one is in Chicago and the third one I had from the school is m.i.a. :-( So now my performance is depending on this one sax which doesn't like to go up an octave at the moment :-( I think all I need is another pad for one of the holes but we'll see I definitely need it looked at ASAP! I could play the soprano, but now somebody's being taught that so I'm giving it to them next week...I'm not going to stop anybody from learning a new instrument, being able to do that makes me happy :-) At the present moment...I'm getting ready to head to the cafe for lunch..then relax before work, maybe look at this science homework. I'll blog later I'm sure they'll be more to talk about.
