WHOA..its been a min..
Ok, so I owe (anyone out there) an update. It's now knocking on September and I haven't been on here for a while. So yeah, here is a very condensed (or my best efforts) of what has been going on lately....
As far as my goals;
1). I AM (yes, I said A.M.) a CRA. Initially I only knew of two companies that would train me for this postions; and both were in Austin which meant I would have to move...ugh. One wasn't feeling me for the CRA position and the other had a hiring freeze; and that is where patience kicked in. After 2 months, I looked into other companies hoping I could find one that would train me to be a CRA...and here I am. Not only did my new company train me, they didn't require me to move anywhere either-and I work from H.O.M.E!!! In this situation...I definitely came out on top...I couldn't be happier.
2). I am only 18 points shy of my credit score goal...yep, yep.
3). As far as weight loss..umm yeah, my October goal is out! But hey, I still have until the end of December to lose the extra baggage...lol.
So everything is on its path.
Real Talk--keep your heads up people. Close friends, family members and even strangers will try to destroy any ambition you have. Set goals and go for them. You are truly the only one that controls your destiny...
Onto other things...
I found a couple of new things I want to invest in. I wish Monday wasn't a holiday cause I need to go to the bank--look, I know you need the day off, but I need to go to the bank...lol. Fine. And then too, I am going to try a new detox product (goodness) so we will see how that goals. Overall I am very excited about life and all the new things/ideas coming to me. I'm back to my old self again...and who can I thank!? Well, you already know...

06/01/08
52 seconds ago made it official; we have hit the half-way through the year mark. Yesterday I found myself up until 4:00am watching "Waiting to Exhale" followed by "The Pursuit of Happiness." Although these are not premieres, I was attached to the t.v. and in deep thought as I watched them. Both movies explain exactly how I feel at this point in my life; and, these movies came on right after another on the same channel! Now to me, that was some freaky Jason ish...its amazing how things happen---its actually kinda scary.
Anyway, at the end of Pursuit of Happiness, I cried WITH Will when he got the position. Goodness, if I don't know how he feels---it just touched me (and this is not the first time I have seen this either). Everday he showed up to his intern focused because of his determination, regardless of what changes were occuring in his life. On the outside, his life was falling apart, but he never brought it to the workplace or told a soul. Been there and done that so many times...I guess you call it strength...**shrugs** So yeah...I knew this was a sign for me-and a well received one.
So, I made some goals that I want to accomplish by the end of the year. I will leave 08' with a bang. Here they are:
1). I will have a credit score of 750 by the end of the year.
2). I will be a CRA by the end of the year. The company I want to work for is not hiring until Aug., but anything is possible and I am not giving up.
3). I will lose 20 pds and make my goal (with a total weight lost of 70 pds) by Oct.
Don't worry about holding me to it, I will do it. So there it is. Also, some people just have to go {out of my life} right now. In due time all will be well, but now is not the time.
So thanks Direct TV for touching me last night. Thanks spirits above for giving me strength and most of all, thank you God for not allowing me to give up on me. These last couple of years have been an itch in some areas, but a 'change is gon' come' for me, and I KNOW it.

I'm starving
for change. Change within myself and the patterns I have been used to. I'm moving on up, as they would say, but I really want that special someone to share things with. Its annoying because I feel as if I am VERY picky (is that really, really bad)? I don't know...I'm just turned off by many things and I don't think that is judgemental, I just know what I like and these days, I want more.
So I joined myspace and DL again to get back in contact with family, old friends and hoping to meet new ones, but all is see is the same mess. So am I too serious? Too intense? I don't know. I love company and have a great sense of humor...but I just cannot get with the naked ass shots as defaults and retarded taglines; i.e. "I'm dA oNe DAt MaKEs Ur PuSSy WeT"...really? And you're 35? Goosh, I can only imagine what the 18 year olds say---I need to get a life.
So yeah...change please, someone, anyone...please hear this cry. I just want to be around normal people...dang, is it that hard to find in this big ass city?

"That Man"
There is a man I've seen a couple times on the subway. He is one that enters the train and gives his life story and asks for anything we can spare. Now through the grapevine, I heard this particular gentleman had AIDS--and that made me wonder, **how did he get them.** Of course you don't ask and of course you try to avoid eye contact with the gentlmen--I mean, we ARE in NY and that's just not the thing to do in NY. You sit in your seat and ignore people like this, right?!
Well today was his 3rd appearance--to me--and this time, I made it a point to look up at him. The past two times I was {TOO} good to look at him in his eyes. I mean, "I" am not in his situation and its not my fault he is there, right? So I starred at the ground but I caught a glimpse of his barefeet in my peripheral. I couldn't help but to think 'its freezing outside, sir!'--but still, I didn't lift a finger to give him any change--not to mention, look up at him.
Today was different. He came onto the train and shouted, 'Excuse me New York.....'...;but this time he said his name. 'My name is Micheal' and then he continued, 'and I have AIDS!' **WOW** I thought to myself--**now the rumor was a fact**. And it was at that moment that I was no longer interested in the ground and I felt compelled to look up at him. I starred at this man, now identified as Micheal, and attempted to listen to his words. To be honest, I am not sure if I really listened, but I definitely SAW what this gentleman had been through. Again, no shoes on his now black feet and toes; and although he didn't have an odor, his clothes were involuntarily brown. He requested change for food, any change we could spare so he could have a hot meal.
So I gave him money this time...I just felt like it was the right thing to do. No, I didn't feel sorry for him, but fuck--we have all been on our ass before, you know? Anyways, Micheal racked up on our train--good for him. But what I didnt understand is when a brotha, yes a brotha--cause let America tell it, we ain't shit--took off his shoes to give to Micheal, Micheal denied. I still don't understand that one. But I'm happy Micheal will at least get his meal tonight..and if thats not what he does with the money, that is not my business cause I did my part and that made me feel good.
