Barack Obama's VP Choice...

Who do you think it's going to be?

My vote is for Joe Biden!

Confession Time! I'm semi-attracted to Joe Biden! Don't ask!!

The New Me'Shell!

I'm at a point in my life where I just want to start over. I mean...what the heck do I have to lose?! This weekend, I went for a new "do. " So now my hair is right below my ears. I'm not sure if I really like it. The guy clipped a little too much for my liking...but eh..it's hair! It will grow back.

Could I be going through some sort of a mid-mid-life crisis? UGH! But anywho...I am also currently looking for a part-time job. I'm hoping to get a job working at either Coach, Nordstroms...or one of my favorite stores. Yes.. I know! You should never work where you shop! HOWEVER.... I need that good ole discount! Plus...X-Mas is coming up soon! (& so is my b'day!)

But back to my reinvention! I hope to lose about 10 pounds. Please folks..don't start with the whole.. you don't need to lose weight crap! I just want to! I think I need to go for a run! Now that the weather is cooling down, this might be the perfect time to do so! I also plan on taking advantage of bookstores & libraries. I really need to read more! I feel like I haven't read much since I graduated (2 years ago!).

I guess I can also take advantage of websites that allow folks to share books.

But I guess that's all for now. I'll try to keep you posted!

A year ago...I lost a great friend! Although we went through our ups and downs.... I must say that I am grateful that I had the chance to have him in my life. R.I.P. George

___________________________________________

Whenever I needed someone to talk to
You were always there.
My eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with pain, and
You were always there.
There was no time when I had doubt
to come to you because
You were always there.
I could see in your eyes you wanted to help, and that you really cared.

Whenever I was down and blue
You were always there.
No matter my problems, are what was wrong
You were always there.
Whenever I felt like nothing matters
You were always there.

Now you're gone, and I don't know what to do
I close my eyes and think of you, and how
You were always there.
It's hard to look at the pictures, and get memories of you
Can you hear me now
At night I pray, and I speak to you
I guess you were right when you told me no matter how far you were
You would always be there.
I know one day I'll see you again, but till then I have to say goodbye

Even though it hurts to hear your name, and speak of you
One thing I will always say is
You were always there.

Lemonade Stand

While on the bus the other day, I saw a couple of girls in front of a house selling lemonade. Please excuse me, but where I'm from....there were no lemonade stands. I was almost tempted to get off the bus to get a cup...but then I started questioning what type of water they used to make the lemonade. You know me... I do not drink faucet water.

It's been too long

So I feel like it's been way too long since I wrote. I think it had to deal with the fact that I was using a desktop for the past year...and I was not feeling it whatsoever. The connection was "hella" slow. By the time I got my PC to turn on ... I no longer had the patience to type....granted, I just spent almost 8 hours at work writing.

So now I have a new laptop! I decided to stop being cheap and just get one. It's the cutest laptop ever (to me). Of course, it's PINK! :)

Anywho...enough about my pc issues...Life hasn't been so bad. I mean, I'm still single (and dealing with it). Ive been thinking about losing weight. I know folks are probably thinking I'm not big to begin with, however, I'm not happy with my size. I feel like I can lose about 5-10 lbs. First things first... as of June 8, 2008, I will no longer drink soda. I figure that's a good first step.

Next, I'm going to run about 3 times a week on the high school track. I can probably run for about an hour or so.

Well I'm sure I'll be back to post more... I feel like I have brain freeze right about now.

Mike Vick

Am I the only one that's sick of this Michael Vick case?!??

At first, I was the individual that was anti-Michael Vick. What he did was very disturbing in my eyes... however, as time goes on... I think that the media may be focusing a little too much on this case.

I have NEVER seen this much outrage over the killing of a human being before. I mean seriously... I want him to be punished... but people are getting a bit outrageous with it. I've seen comments like "I hope he dies!" Really! You hope he dies?

Ah well...I can only thank God I am not in his situation...

Moving on....
