Wait what??!!!

There must be something in the air today. It must be that bitchassness epidemic Diddy was talking about. For some reason people are acting crazy today. I won't go into specifics for the sake of my fingers. But I will say that, IM NOT HAVIN IT!! Hahahaha... If you dare to come to me with your mess you had better be ready for anything. I am a no-nonsense kind of girl. I am about my business, I handle my business, and I mind my business.
I am in no way interested in any drama. Don't come at me with your attitudes. Don't come to me with the drama you had with your other friends. Don't come to me with mess that you could have avoided. I don't want to hear it. Your mess stresses me out. Seriously. I take on stress from others. Most of the time it is because I tell you 'don't do A or B' then you go out and do it anyway THEN you call me cryin. WHY?? What more do you want me to tell you? One of my pet peeves is giving out advice that goes to waste. That is why in the future I plan on charging for the advice I give. That way I could care less if you use it or not. If you puttin food on my table and clothes on my back then I will put up with you. But otherwise, find someone else honey. I can't be your captain save a...




Whew, had to get that off my chest... I know it made little sense but bare with me...

Community Service / Volunteer Work / Me (of course!)

The end of all education should be the beginning of service- Cesar Chavez

My college career is now a thing of the past. New beginnings are in progress. Throughout my college years service has been very important, from my very first semester to my very last. I have taken about five service learning courses, in which community service is required. In my last semester I spent my spring break serving others.

Volunteer work has had reoccuring roles in my life over the years. I remember helping my grandmother at the soup kitchen, joining the Kiwanis club in middle school, becoming a peer counselor and doing work at the childrens library in high school. I am now sure that these services were anything but minor. They were significant. They were indications that I can volunteer my time without sacraficing any other aspect of my life. Each time I volunteered I had similar feelings; humility, gratification, distinction, appreciation, empathy. Feel good feelings, that make me feel as if I am leaving my mark on the world, one person at a time. At times I visualize the great things that I have done. Helping one person has a domino effect, each person that is close to the initial person senses the change and is effected.

I am sad to say that I never learned about Cesar Chavez in grade school. But I am happy that I was exposed to some of his genius in college. I love the above quote, but would actually modify it to: 'The beginning of all education should be the beginning of service.' As it does not take much to be of service to others.

Pomp & Circumstance

Today as I walk across the Stadium Field, I walk towards my future. As I move my tassel to the left, I move into the real world. Today I graduate from college. I have prolonged the process far too long. Trying to hold on to the little bit of adolescence I had left. But no longer can I avoid my fate. I am an adult. As the music sounds and the march begins I will be struting for the last time as a young lady. I am a woman.

Beauty is in the eye....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yeah, thats cool. But it is just so limiting. Beauty, in my opinion, is not limited to the visual sensory. What if you don't have the gift of sight; is your world without beauty? If you are color blind is your visual spectrum dulled?



Beauty is the appeal to one through vision, touch, smell, taste, and/or sound.



You see beauty can be experienced by much more than the eye. Can you see a beautiful melody? No. So does that mean the melody is not beautiful? Beauty is facillitated by all senses, individually and collectively.



My beautiful is defined by object and context. At times they are indescribable. May it be a lyric or verse, a person or picture. I've had beautiful relationships, beautiful experiences, encountered beautiful personalities, along with beautiful minds.



Sometimes I find beauty within presence. Having my immediate family together in one room engaged in conversation is beautiful to me. In the midst of it I always step back and make a mental memory for the archives.

God is beautiful. Despite the absence of sensory confirmation. The thought of God and His love is beautiful.


What is your definition of beauty? What is beautiful to you?
