God speaks back! From that point on, i decided to make sure to listen, consistently, to what God may or may not be saying. well, a few weeks ago, i prayed about something that I feel very seriously about. God answered. Problem is, he didn't answer in exactly the way that I would have liked. I tried to heed his advice, to not become involved in a certain situation, but my faith was nowhere near as steadfast as it should have been. I continued to pursue something that He didn't want me to do. I tried convincing myself that I had heard wrong. Maybe it was just my mind telling my heart to do something different. Now, I really wish I had listened. Instead, He kind of forced me out of a situation that would have thwarted his plans for me. It ended in me being hurt. Until now, I was even confused about the reason for my pain. I wasn't necessarily hurt by the actions taken towards me. In reality, I'm hurt because I KNEW better...because God TOLD me better. God told me: this is not good for you. in fact, its detrimental to you and your lifestyle and possibly even your health. I still wanted to listen to myself. Now i know what God sounds like, and I know what God wants me to do. I realize that I must walk in faith. I'm actually excited for what He has shown me, which excites me even more because it means that I have grown spiritually.<br /><br />Proverbs 3:5-6 <br />Trust in the LORD with all your heart,<br />And lean not on your own understanding;<br />In all your ways acknowledge Him,<br />And He shall direct your paths.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-20824038259959061642009-10-19T15:17:00.001-05:002009-10-19T15:19:39.958-05:00backwards as this, shitThis is that kanye mini movie...i was all with the concept for a little while, and still think i somewhat understand what he was going for...something about his last album spoke to me, i guess because i feel like i understand the emotions he was putting into his music...a friend of mine said once that "it's one thing to like kanye's album, it's another thing entirely to have lived through that sh!t. <br /><br /><object width="448" height="374"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh1E0gO2U7ke6Gk1WJ" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh1E0gO2U7ke6Gk1WJ" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" width="448" height="374"></embed> </object><br /><br />btw, the post title is froma haiku from one of my fav writersUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-80300328944349087732009-09-28T12:02:00.002-05:002009-09-28T12:18:20.373-05:00disgusted...yet againHaven't posted in awhile, but this is something that I felt was important enough to bring me back from my hiatus. This is something that happened in Chicago. An honor student was beaten to death during a "gang" fight. Basically the students were fighting using only fists and wooden planks. This kid got hit while allegedly trying to help another student. <br /><br />Honestly, watching the video almost made me cry for several reasons<br /><br />-I thought of how most of what I saw on twitter after the release of this video dealt with mashonda and alicia keys, and this was true of even black people from Chicago...i think that people are just desensitized to violence in this city. I know that since I moved here, I am much less emotionally affected by the violence that plagues this city.<br /><br />-A lot of the kids just watched the whole scene, and the one who tried to help, ended up dying. this is an obvious reason why so many people just stood by and watched<br /><br />-the death of this man basically means that several more young black men's lives have ended. they will be thrown into the justice system for what was, in essence, a school fight gone horribly wrong. they were wrong, i'm not denying that they should have to take responsibility...but the justice system is going to turn these kids into hardened criminals..if they ever get out of prison, they will probably be even more of a burden on society because they will not be able to get jobs, and will have learned to lead a criminals life with the real murderers in prison<br /><br />-chicago is worried about getting the olympics...it would be a great opportunity for those who stand to make money from them, but honestly, the event will not benefit the black people who inhabit the regions of the city that will be directly affected. They will wipe peoples neighborhoods out, and black businesses won't see a large amount of contracts, so the money will not come to our community. Chicago has much more to worry about, ie, the lives of the children, the education system, the poverty, the homelessness...obviously this list could go on forever<br /><br />-the city decided to step up security at the high school where this occurred...obviously, this is a reactive approach...could nothing have been done prior to this. in a city where a large number of school age children are killed each year, you would think that the city would take a more proactive approach<br /><br />that said, here's the video of the fight...it's kinda gruesome, so don't watch if you get squeamish<br

day, about images in the lives of men and women. Women especially. the idea that we're supposed to be happy once we've attained certain things, and not happy when we're missing certain others. and we can't show certain feelings without being labeled as one thing or the other. in addition to all this, we must uphold a certain image...so we may put up a certain front, while engaging in certain behaviors privately, or perhaps not so privately, but under false motives. a friend of mine once told me that it is not safe for one person to hold a secret within, and i suppose that is part of the human condition that Nikki is trying to get at here. that people, in order to protect their images, hold in certain things. i haven't yet decided how i feel about that...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-44145854805908027282009-07-09T14:54:00.001-05:002009-07-09T15:07:51.721-05:00disgusted...againsp apparently the management at a pool doesn't serve minorities...i've no time to expound upon my feelings about this..just know....some people suck. that is all...enjoy the video.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/saTCMJVYljU&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_profilepage&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/saTCMJVYljU&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_profilepage&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-55977256233159795442009-07-02T17:17:00.000-05:002009-07-02T17:20:21.074-05:00nowassatallfunny video...there's a quote in the beginning of her defending herself against another black girl, that sadly reminds me of myself...lol...anyway, i think aisha tyler is fab and i believe she'll be hosting the golden fellowship dinner this year...soooo.... good times!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4NsGRo7FnYE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4NsGRo7FnYE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-6219687982638788612009-06-11T15:14:00.002-05:002009-06-11T15:27:11.444-05:00birthdaysbecause of my overabundance of gemini friends, i have been thinking a lot about bithdays lately...people have been doing some really interesting things for their birthdays this summer, and a few of the things i am/have participated in were quiet evenings with friends, jet-skiing, rooftop parties, six flags, and weeklong celebrations...all of this has led me to wonder, what i will do for my 23rd. I'm getting excited, even though i have to wait until October to celebrate...some ideas i've had thus far: vacation w/my girls...probably to nyc or miami..nothing major, a night out dowtown...i think i would get a room at the trump for one night, just for close friends, then go out the next night...a dinner party, which would be kinda neat cuz i like spending time with friends...or maybe something else...either way, i know it's gonna include shopping for a cute new bday dress and a few other items...idk why i'm thinking about this so soon, but oh well...im starting to get excited alreadyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-60026416771705609152009-05-26T14:14:00.001-05:002009-05-26T14:19:00.866-05:00doing betteri promise to post more often...i'm going to have to think some things over, and look for a good something on here tomorrow...for all ten of my readers.lol. yeah, so in the meantim...tweet me or something... twitter.com.missjess11Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-76259368908713673402009-03-24T14:51:00.001-05:002009-03-24T14:53:21.583-05:00it knocks you downso, keri hilson...i never really thought of myself as a real fan...like, never purchased a song on itunes or whatever, but her album is out today, and i think i may get it...reason being: i think i like her style...this video is hot, even though i think the song isn't really that hot...maybe too pop-like for me...but yeah...i like her style the entire way through, hence, i feel it's necessary to support her<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQ6sp3X_LVk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQ6sp3X_LVk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-66636175108198471712009-03-23T10:47:00.004-05:002009-03-23T11:09:22.235-05:00us placersso, i was just over at http://djtimbuck2.com/?p=694 because a) i was trying to support a friend of mine who raps and whatnot and was apparently on the website, and b)i think timbuk2 is pretty dope...anywho, i saw this video for "us placers" which i think is a pretty hot song...not sure why i had never seen this video before, cuz the song has been out for awhile<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-xz8FXgLpI4&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-xz8FXgLpI4&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />my thoughts on this one...little lupe is so adorable...lil dude that's playin kanye throws up a perfect mid a few times, even tho it's supposed to be the "roc"...and the kid that's supposed to be parrell has a bit of swagger(i hate that word, but i couldn't find anything else that fits)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-70199799784354502622009-03-17T11:21:00.002-05:002009-03-17T11:23:44.166-05:00disgusted!!!<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cl67FmVRjYs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cl67FmVRjYs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />how can we allow this as people...we can get all up in arms over domestic violence, with everyone doing special shows because our beloved superstars are having problems, but we can't do something about crap like this???seriously, get it together!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556695739789791866.post-79968031602059959902009-03-10T11:49:00.004-05:002009-03-10T11:52:49.127-05:00why i need these in my life<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Pogbh8UTeu0/SbaanoOqh8I/AAAAAAAAALs/XFcQ52oTodY/s1600-h/sgshoes-2792-full.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I don’t know what the heck happened…it was like one day I was going through novel after novel, hanging out and introducing myself to folks, and working crazy hours while completing all my school work nearly perfectly and on time; and the next day I was spending a countless amount of money on books that “looked’ good, but I would never finish, being too shy to network at events, and procrastinating and turning in less than stellar projects…WHAT THE HECK!!??!?!?

It was super nice outside when i walked the pup, so i figured it would only get better. <br /><br />anywho, it seems like people wanted to make my day more and more negative, but i've decided that im not going to let things bring me down. sidenote: please pray for my cousin and her baby...<br /><br />ok. so, today i decided was going to be the day that i really take control of certain things in my life. i bought some notebooks to help me to keep track of my goals. i have a lot of them, and now that i don't really hav a sig. other that i talk to about these things, it's kind of hard for me to keep track. I got one notebook for work stuff, and one for money, career(including school), and life in general...my plan is to write out my goals and plans for accomplishing them, then following up with writing about my progress in each area...im kinda excited about this project.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
