Ted and Oprah

I'm certain people saw Ted and Oprah today. I want your thoughts.

Life is such a journey and I don't want to take anything from it. On this path I run into painful places. Other times I walk into joy unspeakable. I have to be extremely careful not to consider either place a destination, but places I pass through on this journey. If not, I'll always be out of balance. I have to embrace each lesson both places were meant to teach me. I am on this journey and I will not take anything from it.

*this probably makes sense to no one outside of myself...lol* I just feel some kinda way and I had to take 4 minutes to express myself.

Playing~"turn off"- Keri

• What did you guys think of Seven Pounds? I wasn't overwhelmed with emotions, which made people think I was cold. Man, he was clearing his conscious.
  
• Why do people pursue you hard and just when you feel like giving them some play they flip the script on you. WTF is that about
• 500,000 people lost their job in December. Can you believe that?
• Am I the only one surprise that Brandy only sold 78k her first week. Sigh
• I have this yearning for more and I can't really explain it
• Things that use to get me going don't really move me now
  
• Have someone ever told you that you were too good for them (does it not say a lot about how they view themselves)
• Believe what people give you upfront. If you don't, you'll regret it.
• I went through the last 3 guys I've encountered over the past 2.5 years and gain a lesson from each.
• Well, I'm not sure what the third was meant to teach. I must not have learned the lesson.
• What do you do when the person you are getting to know has a friend who is hotter and they keep giving you the vibe they want to get to know you? RUN...lol.
• I feel the need to get messed up. Work has been kicking my a**

Sidenote: Is this not the Jazmine we all were looking for on her album? I was a little disappointed with the album.

Are you listening?

God speaks to us in unorthodox ways from time to time. A few days ago I was at home trying to watch some of my favorite shows on abc.com. Every time I tried to load the video my computer would freeze. My virus alert would come up letting me know it was blocking the streaming. I kept restarting Explorer and it continue to happen. Then, I decided I need to stop acting like an insane person and try something different. I go to my anti-virus set up and realize my program was set so strict it was blocking the very thing I was trying to enjoy. I disabled that part of the anti-virus program. Then, I went back to explorer and I was able to enjoy watching the show without incident.
The message was simple. At times, we are too guard. So much so, it hinders us from achieving the pleasure we are seeking. Every now and then we have to take down some of those guards, so we whatever joy life could be presenting us. I don't know if this will speak to anyone, but that experience spoke to me. Everyone thinks I'm too self controlled/guarded. God has a funny way of teaching us lesson. He's always speaking/teaching it's up to us to hear/learn. I hope the new year is treating everyone well.

2008 Review

Listening~"Human"-Brandy

2008 has been a year of exploration.

• I went to my first gay club
• Gain some associates
• Lost some
• Sexually (w/ guys) I've went to third base three times (2008 made me a slut!)
• Received my first speeding ticket
• I'm Learning that good things don't necessarily come to you because you do good.
• I'm learning how to become more aggressive professionally (sometimes you have to manage your manager)
  
• I'm realizing I'm an analytical person, which hinders me from enjoying the moment(s).
• I've discovered so much about myself It's crazy. Holistically, I've grown the most in 2008.
