Sleepless in Connecticut!!!

2006-09-10T21:30:00.000-04:00

Okay last Saturday I moved to Connecticut...yes I am a man of my word...Remember in February when I moved to the Bronx and said it was only temporary till the end of the summer...yes I moved as scheduled! I know, I know I stay moving but I have to reach my goals and not break any promises. Sometimes you need to just up and leave and do what you gotta do...But anyway I'm living in central bubble fuck and I must admit I actually like being away from the fags and the drama its great! I have my own place again, and I've been reunited with my dog Gizmo after 6 dreadful months. I actually have a new job working in the field of geriatrics as a Clinical Social Worker!! Yaaay! Actually getting paid for what you are worth is a wonderful feeling. I feel like a little white girl starting brand new in a new town with a new job LOL...I'm good right now. Only thing I need to work on is meeting some damn friends! I mean shit I want to go out once in a while you know. Tell me why I went out to a club last night that ended at 2am! I was so tight...they played Beyonce's new joint 'Ring the Alarm' followed by turning the lights on 39 seconds later! I was so upset. But anyway after a week of living here I have to find new ways of managing more 'me time.' I'm still working hard don't get me wrong, but now I'm learning to put my needs before others as selfish as it sounds, I don't give a fuck!

I just realized the last time I blogged was in June! I'm really into MYSPACE but I can't forget my roots so I'll try to keep this updated more...maybe LOL...

SIZZLLIN HOT!!!!

Sizzle Miami report...I'm so late with this but I had a ball in Miami for the Memorial Day weekend. Friends, food, booze, treez, the 'games' lol and most importantly the BEACH!!!!
I don't know if we are going back next year because I want to explore Puerto Rico, but who knows I will probably change my mind at the last minute lol...

I met some really nice people during my stay and unfortunately I can't marry everyone! But I will stay in contact with the desirables. But in any event, enjoy some photos I took for now.

Hot Song of Miami 2006:

Queen of Controversy

2006-05-22T23:23:00.000-04:00

Last night Madonna kicked off her 'Confessions Tour' at the Forum in Los Angeles California. The show of course was exepected to be typical Madonna, i.e., provacative, shocking and controversial. Now where should I begin...okay, most likely this picture instantly caught your eye and may have offended you or not. But this is purely something only Madonna could pull off. Imagine other icons such as Janet, Michael, Prince...Only a Queen could pull this one off. You may also notice she is wearing a crown of thorns which is also symbolic of Jesus' suffering. You may be wondering what song did she sing while presenting this tribute...'Live to Tell' ring a bell? If you understand the meaning of the 1980's hit, you will then relaize that this performance was merely meant not to offend anyone but rather to recognize Jesus Christ's suffering and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins. (Yeah the world needs a lot of that!)

Fans also had the pleasure of experiencing Madge ride a rhinestone-studded, black leather carousel like she's the main attraction at a Christopher Street sex store. If death threats to the Dixie Chicks wasn't enough, I guess Madonna could give two shits about President George Bush as she cursed him throughout the show. However, the show started off nice and sweet with images of horses on the screens and Madonna in full equestrian attire descending from the ceiling in a one-ton disco ball. Remember that horse accident on August 16. It's amazing how this 47 year old survive broken ribs, collar bone and a shattered wrist. If you take a closer look at her equestrain outfit, you may get flashbacks of her 'Erotica' dominatrix look with many thanks to that whip she used to seduce the audience with.

As Madonna sang 'Future Lovers,' mixing in a little of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' for good measure, her leather-strapped male dancers slithered around her like a lost scene from 'Eyes Wide Shut.' 'Get Together' offered more of the same, but nothing could have prepared the capacity crowd for what would follow - and we're not talking about her own X-rays on the screens.

Boy I can't wait to go on June 29th at Madison Square Garden!! I'm sure you will hear more about this fantastic tour. Stay tuned! Caio!

Heres a sneak peek!!!!!Enjoy.

My Day

2006-05-16T15:13:00.000-04:00

Well After 3 years of torture lol...I graduated from NYU with my masters in social work. Going to school part-time and working two jobs and an internship wasn't always fun, but ultimately, it was well deserved. I remember my very first year of grad school...I was a little nervous mainly because I was one of very few African Americans in my school. Back in the day my drama teacher in high school told me that I would not like NYU. And obviously, I didn't care what she had to say. I wanted to gain the clinical tools to enhance my own skills and this school was able to provide that to me. At the ceremony, I was reunited with some old classmates and friends I've made at a previous internship. During the ceremony I was a little teary-eyed,however, the tears were tears of joy. As I sat in my seat in the Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, I reflected on all the conflicts, accomplishments and disappointments in the past 3 years. Not until the very end I was faced with a tremendous stressload, however, with spiritual guidance and the Mercy of God, I was once again able to defeat my troubles.

This wonderful occasion was spent with my parents, sister, a very close friend, and my ex. There is nothing like hearing your name announced in front of thousands of people!! Later that afternoon, my family and I ate dinner at Ruth Chris' restaurant in midtown. Unfortunately, I was not able to party that night because it was on a Wednesday! But Thursday night I was able to get my drink on...

I must say my grad school experience has taught me to:

1. Love myself more
2. Not focus on what people think about me
3. Be true to myself and accept rejection

Capitale!

Nobody Knows Me

2006-04-05T12:51:00.000-04:00

This is my song of the week. Something that I'd like to share with the world how I'm feeling right now...It's titled

"Nobody Knows Me"

I’ve had so many lives
Since I was a child
And I realize
How many times I’ve died

I’m not that kind of guy
Sometimes I feel shy
I think I can fly
Closer to the sky

No one’s telling you how to live your life
But it’s a setup until you’re fed up
This world is not so kind
People trap your mind
Why do people lie?
It’s so hard to find
Someone to admire

I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
Now I’m gonna try
To improve my life

No one’s telling you how to live your life
But it’s a setup until you’re fed up
It’s no good when you’re misunderstood
But why should I care
What the world thinks of me?
Won’t let a stranger
Give me a social disease

Nobody knows me.

Crippled

2006-03-25T02:43:00.000-05:00

You crawl
As I walk

You lie
As I speak

You drown
As I survive

You gossip
While I shine

You die
As I stay alive

You growl
As I rejoice

You speak evil
As I speak the truth

I am blessed
While you remain in a dam

Stand up crippled man
I'll pass you your cain

I feel no pressure
And you feel pain...

Game over.
